Speaker 1 week seven.

Speaker 1 We begin as New York jets down to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars, and they're drinking the Kool-Aid with Daniel Jonestown and his inspired play this year.

Speaker 1 Trevor Lawrence, and repeat, and his long hippie hair played like shampoo-poo, and it's clear you have to question the Jaguars' conditioning as the Giants were head and shoulders above as the game got late.

Speaker 1 And that's the bald truth, boom. When the Giants needed to ice the game, they played an oldie-butta-goody as say

Speaker 1 quan me, say quan me rush for 72 yards. Wait, I can't find the giants in the standings.
Aha! They're off towards the top at 6-1. The Giants, the G-men, 23, Jaguars, 17.

Speaker 1 Sticking in the NFC beast down to Ral John, where Devondre 3000 Campbell had a big boy pick six, as Packers fans feeling, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right.

Speaker 1 Now, ladies, now don't get too close to Aaron Rodgers, or else you'll get some of that hippie stankonia.

Speaker 1 As Green Bay fans might be asking for the Jordan Love Below, Joey Slivester Stallone looked a little rocky with his right hook, but was able to find his feet and steal the win.

Speaker 1 The Commanders are riding Heineke as they win 23-21

Speaker 1 in Cincinnati where it was Country Western Day as Bolo Tyler Boyd and Jamar Chase Rice lit up the scoreboard in the first half.

Speaker 1 This Falcons offense really pits different when Kyle doesn't get any deep balls, but they're able to launder some points with a shot to Demir Marty Bird.

Speaker 1 Head coach Taylor has proven that the Bengals' imperfections only run skin deep as he cured them with a shot of Zakutane. Bengals 35, Falcons 17.

Speaker 1 In Dallas, where the big star was ready for war as the Empire Strikes Dak, it was the Dallas defense that showed out as Anthony Bar D2 had a fumble recovery. Amon Raoul St.

Speaker 1 Brown's dad said, these are not the Roys you're looking for, as the Lions offense lacked a punch after the receiver went out with an injury. Darth Trayvon Diggs said, Jared, I am your father.

Speaker 1 As the Cowboys win easily, 24 Tussacks.

Speaker 1 In Nashville, where the clock might be striking midnight for Jonathan Taylor, Swift, and the Colts, Matt Ryan is in a labyrinth of decision-making as people are starting to question the mastermind, Chris Ballard and his team that looks like snow on the beach.

Speaker 1 When Jerem Merce wakes up from his lavender haze, people are worried he may get on his vigilante shit, telling Frank Reich, you're on your own, kid, as the Colts anti-hero Mike Brabel sits atop his bejeweled throne in the AFC South.

Speaker 1 Karma, am I right? Titans 19. Colts 10.
Have you heard the new, have you heard the new Taylor Swift album?

Speaker 2 It's really good, Bill.

Speaker 1 It's really good.

Speaker 2 That's my shit, Bill.

Speaker 1 Some spread. Off to Baltimore, where, in a touching tribute to my good friend Liz, Big Trust was in the news despite having a vote of no confidence in Lamarlement.

Speaker 1 Chief Justice Hill had a fumble recovery as John Harbaugh reinforced his lifetime appointment as Ravens head coach.

Speaker 1 Sus Edwards ate up the man-to-man D, scoring twice on the way to a Ravens victory as the usual Gus specs are at the top of the NFC North. Ravens, 23, the Browns, 20.

Speaker 1 In San Francisco, a rematch of Super Bowl 54 as the Chiefs take on the Niners. It was the Niners early as Mahomes had some

Speaker 1 fingle stuck in his throat, leading to a 10-0 lead.

Speaker 1 The turnaround came quick as Mico Hardman switched back and forth between rushing and receiving, getting clits all over Kansas City wetter than their barbecue.

Speaker 1 George Kittler on the roof made it close to the second half, but as is tradition, Mahomes stepped on their throat to end the game.

Speaker 1 In a touching tribute to when Ohio State was actually good at football, Kyle Shanahan brought in Brock Purdy to continue the legacy of Brock Tober with a completed pass in garbage time.

Speaker 1 The Chiefs walked the Niners 44-23.

Speaker 1 In sunny Las Vegas, Davis, can you pay my mills? Can you pay my automo mills? I don't think you do. So Houston's going to lose.
The Raiders' offensive backfield was working at the car, Josh.

Speaker 1 Working at the car, Josh. Yeah, Devontae Adamson never thought Houston would beat him at home.
Another six months. Josh McCown's their coach.

Speaker 1 And as the Texans never conquered, rarely came, now that their mind is Deshaun, they continue to inch closer to the number one pick in the draft. The

Speaker 1 Eaters 38, the Texans 20. Sounds like he got a hoofinger in that throat.
A little hofing down there.

Speaker 1 Standing on the corner, James Swinston, Tampa, Florida. Such a fine sight to see.

Speaker 1 In Carolina's house, a Panthers dead cat bounce. Are they better off without McCaffrey? Come on, braidy.

Speaker 1 You're looking lazy.

Speaker 1 You lost to P.J. Walker.
You should Harry Kerry.

Speaker 1 Panthers, 21. Bucks, three.

Speaker 1 And that is week seven.

Speaker 6 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 6 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 6 One bars are the perfect protein bar to get you through your busy day, whether you need a quick pick-me-up between meetings or you need some fuel to power you through your next workout.

Speaker 6 One also has other delicious flavors like birthday cake, maple glazed donut, and blueberry cobbler. Find all one bars at a retailer near you or on amazon.com.

Speaker 1 Okay, week seven in the books. We're watching Dolphins, Steelers, Barn Burner, Dolphins wearing their throwbacks, which

Speaker 1 we do tend to talk a lot about jerseys and throwbacks. The fact that the Dolphins don't have the mini helmet on the Dolphin logo as their main helmet is the dumbest thing I've heard.

Speaker 2 Especially, Big Cat, in this age of preventing concussions, to not put any sort of protective at all on that Dolphins. I think that sends a bad message to the youngsters out there.

Speaker 1 It really does. And Tu is out there scrambling around like nothing happened.

Speaker 2 He's just lowering his head. Yeah, every time he runs with the ball, he's just ducking his head.
Before the game, he was talking to, who was it?

Speaker 2 Was it it was someone from NBC saying that he's trying to elongate his career. He's looking out for his safety first, understanding that health comes before winning football games.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 2 And then he's been doing nothing all day except just like lowering his head and going like Fitzpatrick style.

Speaker 1 Yeah, running over people. Right, exactly.
So

Speaker 1 we will talk about this game when it concludes. It starts the fourth quarters right now.
We'll also talk about the Yankees-Astros later on with the Phillies stuff. Let's talk some football.

Speaker 1 I know the prevailing story is going to be old quarterbacks looking very old, and we will get to that.

Speaker 1 But I think I was looking at it chronologically because obviously there's a couple that you can shift around in the early games.

Speaker 1 I think it has to be Giants 23, Jaguars 17, and the New York Giants now 6-1.

Speaker 1 And my biggest question, when I was looking through everything, I was saying to myself, is Daniel Jones going to be the guy now?

Speaker 2 No, he's definitely become the guy. Big head, he had 200 yards passing, 100 yards rushing.
First Giants quarterback to ever do that.

Speaker 2 And when I thought about it, I was like, well, yeah, that kind of makes sense because they have a long tradition of having Eli Manning as their quarterback. Right.
But yeah, pretty impressive.

Speaker 2 He's got that dog in him officially now.

Speaker 1 And this was the game that we all thought going into it. Everyone was like, well, Vegas knows something.
The Jaguars are minus three. Like, you know, at some point, this Giants magic has to run out.

Speaker 1 And it was essentially the same thing that happened in every Giants game where they keep the game close. They're down going into the second half.
And Daniel Jones makes some plays.

Speaker 1 Saquon ices the game and like and runs his ass off in the fourth quarter. And I mean the game ended literally on the one-inch line.

Speaker 1 It was probably the best ending to a game that we had in the early slate.

Speaker 2 Well, Saquon should have, he should not have run out of bounds earlier on because Saquon put them in that position.

Speaker 2 It should never have come down to that tackle that was made on the one-inch line because if he had stayed in bounds, I think they would have taken the clock down to 30 seconds.

Speaker 2 And so Saquon is like that he was watching on the sidelines, just knowing that everything from that point on was his fault.

Speaker 1 He tried not to, and he just, he took one too many steps, but it was, it was the most exciting game. It wasn't, there weren't a ton of like thrillers down the stretch.

Speaker 1 That was probably the most exciting finish

Speaker 1 just because the game ended literally on the one-yard line, Christian Kirk getting stopped on the one-yard line as the Jaguars tried to come back. And I

Speaker 1 know we, I know we feel like a broken record, but like the Giants being 6-1 and Brian Dable being this good of a coach in his first year, it's still shocking to me because they are legitimately a good team and they find ways to do more with less.

Speaker 1 And Daniel Jones, I think, is now going to get a contract. Like, he was,

Speaker 1 you remember, like, John Marrow was like, we've screwed this kid up so much. Like, we feel bad for him, but we're not giving him the fifth year.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 Like, if they go to the playoffs, do they have to give him a contract?

Speaker 2 I think if they go to the playoffs, they should. They're getting that position where they at least would have to give him the fifth year.

Speaker 1 Although they can't, I don't think they can give them the fifth year. Not anymore.
So that deadline passed.

Speaker 2 That deadline passed in like April or whatever.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 2 So So what they're going to be looking at then,

Speaker 2 the Giants are kind of fucked in terms of their cap situation.

Speaker 2 Like we discussed earlier on the show, they've had a couple games where they've just had like 50 people on the roster because they actually can't afford,

Speaker 2 they don't have the cap space to have a full roster all the time. So they're kind of going to be fucked in terms of what they can do at the quarterback position.

Speaker 2 I could see Daniel Jones being like a Duke kid. Doesn't seem like he's really like, he feels to me like he comes from money.
I don't know the history of like his family or anything.

Speaker 2 Daniel Jones could just be like, you know what? Fair is fair. Just pay me $5 million.

Speaker 2 I haven't played that well, but I'd like to stick around because this is comfortable.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and this is cool that I get to go like Mac on chicks in hobo.

Speaker 2 Exactly, which actually wouldn't be the worst career move necessarily for him to do like a one-year thing and then he can pick wherever he would want to be a backup after that.

Speaker 2 Or he just plays his dick off and earns a massive contract.

Speaker 1 Someone would, I mean, he is playing legitimately good football. He's doing the things like, and this is more credit to

Speaker 1 Brian Dable and is it Mike Kafka, I think? Kafka, yeah. Yeah, Northwestern Legend.
They are like what they're doing and what they're showing is, and it's easier said than done, but

Speaker 1 when a coaching staff comes in and they're like, we're playing to this guy's strengths, instead of saying, here's our offense, you got to fit to it.

Speaker 1 And we saw Brian Dable do it with Josh Allen in Buffalo. Like, hey, Daniel Jones is an electric runner.

Speaker 1 Like, that, that, uh, that running play they kept on running with Daniel Jones in the fourth quarter, the Jaguars could not stop it.

Speaker 1 They basically would run with Saquon, then run with Daniel Jones, and the Jaguars had no answer for it.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I'm really looking forward to the reports coming out of Giants camp of how they're going to work with Daniel Jones on sliding. Yeah.
Because he obviously doesn't, he doesn't like sliding.

Speaker 2 He's not very good at doing it.

Speaker 2 He's the kind of quarterback that when he tries to slide, he actually runs a higher risk of injuring himself on the slide than he would if he just put his head down like Tua and tried to run somebody over.

Speaker 2 But yeah, the Giants are now the first team in NFL history to start 6-1 or better and have each of their first seven games decided by just one possession. One possession.

Speaker 1 The largest one was the Bears. They won by eight.
Yep.

Speaker 2 So the old saying of like, don't get into an argument with an idiot because they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. That's what the Giants are doing.

Speaker 2 They're making games ugly, sometimes against very good teams, and then just beating them with Brian Dable's coaching at the end.

Speaker 2 And it makes me wonder, like,

Speaker 2 why wasn't Brian Dable a head coach before this?

Speaker 1 Probably too fat. Too fat.
Like, I I don't mean that. I love Brian Dable, but you know that, like, that is a real thing that happens.
Of course.

Speaker 1 Absolutely. It's discrimination where they're like, oh, well, he's like, what is he going to pass out on the sideline?

Speaker 1 These nuts jokes. I probably didn't take them seriously.
Yeah, that too. But they probably are like, oh, he's probably too fat.
It's like, no, he's fine. He's stout.
He's strong. He's like,

Speaker 1 he's like George Warren.

Speaker 7 He's a stand-fell head coaches.

Speaker 1 I understand.

Speaker 2 Yeah, but they usually get large

Speaker 2 after they've been on the job.

Speaker 1 There also haven't been as many as you think successful.

Speaker 7 Successful different.

Speaker 1 Successful, like Andy Reid, shout out to Andy Reid. He held it down for the big boys winning a Super Bowl because there's not a ton of fat coaches that win Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 Rex Ryan was pretty big, but then he actually got worse as he got thinner. He lost his power like Samson.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I mean, think about the list of fat head coaches winning Super Bowls.
It is, listen, it's just, it's something that people do.

Speaker 1 They're very mean about it, but they see a fat guy and they're like, his brain moves slower. Brian Dable has not true.

Speaker 1 He's got a sharp brain.

Speaker 2 There was one picture of him on the sidelines last week that he has a little Alex Jones in him. If you look at a lot of...

Speaker 1 He's got the strength.

Speaker 2 A lot of Alex. Yeah, the power.
Yeah, he has power.

Speaker 1 That's what I'm saying. He's not fat.
He's powerful.

Speaker 1 I do not see Brian Dabel and think fat guy. I think powerful man.
Yes. You know, like he's just like,

Speaker 1 he's like a cannonball.

Speaker 2 Yeah. It was good to see this game turn out the way that we thought it would turn out.

Speaker 2 Even though we did bet on the Jaguars, we did so under the assumption that we thought that Vegas knew something that we didn't know. Turns out we're way smarter than Vegas.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 We should be able to dominate football season. I think I went one on three today, but we should be able to fucking dominate Vegas because we knew that this line was messed up.

Speaker 2 And it was only because we operated on the assumption that they were smarter than us that they made us stupid. Yeah.
So from now on.

Speaker 1 We're going to have to be we here because we, you're, you want to explain your bet that was all-time galaxy brain.

Speaker 2 Well, we can go back and listen, listen to Friday's show, but I think we all said Vegas knows something.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Vegas knows something, but you went.

Speaker 2 Okay, so I tried, I thought I had this whole gambling shit figured out because

Speaker 2 I took the Jaguars minus three, and then I also also put a little bit of money on the Giants minus nine and a half on the other side.

Speaker 2 Because I'm like, I think the Giants are going to win, but I think Vegas knows something I don't.

Speaker 2 So I'm covering both sides of the equation, not realizing that the Giants, yeah, they left yourself like the juiciest middle,

Speaker 2 the biggest possible middle.

Speaker 1 But you know what?

Speaker 2 That's how you make money in this game. Yeah, you can't.
Scared money don't make money.

Speaker 1 That's a fact. That's a fact.
So, yeah, I mean,

Speaker 1 I keep thinking about what this season has become. And there's, you know, a list of a very short list of very good teams, and the Giants seem to be knocking on that door every single week.

Speaker 1 None of their wins have looked incredible, but at what point when you're six and one, and if you look at their schedule coming up, they play the Seahawks, who we'll get to, who might the first place Seahawks, might I add, which is crazy.

Speaker 1 Yep. That were in the end of October, and the Seattle Seahawks are in first place of the NFC West.
There's no chance anyone had that preseason. They play the Seahawks, the Texans, and the Lions.

Speaker 1 They're next three. I mean,

Speaker 1 that could easily be a seven-two team. It could be.

Speaker 2 I mean, I got news for you. Yeah.
The New York Giants are going to make the playoffs. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 2 they just are. They're going to be.
It's hard. I want you to all prepare yourself for that moment because I don't want to sneak up on anybody.
The New York Giants are going to be a playoff team.

Speaker 1 It's hard to miss the playoffs starting 6-1. And I think people will probably be very upset at us.
They'll be like, you're jinxing us. What are you doing? Why are you doing this to us?

Speaker 1 It is hard, though, I feel like, to miss the playoffs when you start

Speaker 1 six and one like they are.

Speaker 1 I know how hard it is because I think the Bears have done it. I think we started 8-1 once and didn't make the playoffs.

Speaker 2 If you just give them two wins over the Commanders, a win over the Lions, and a win over the Texans, those two games are at home against the Texans and the Lions.

Speaker 2 If you just give those to them, that's 10 wins right there.

Speaker 1 What about, we should talk a little bit about the Jaguars. It feels like we're just back to square one.
And I don't know,

Speaker 1 they now are in the camp of like they have enough talent, it feels like, and just putting together four cohesive quarters. I also saw

Speaker 1 Nate Tice, who does the athletic podcast with Robert Mays, he was tweeting out the

Speaker 1 throwing map of Trevor Lawrence, and he, it basically like stops at 20 yards. He does not attempt a pass that's over 20 yards.

Speaker 2 He's got a little bit of the zoomies. It's crazy.
Have you noticed that?

Speaker 2 He's got a zoomie issue where any ball that's about 15 to 30 yards down the field, he will miss his receiver what appears to be like 10 feet above his head.

Speaker 1 Right. And he just, yeah, he'll have throws where you're like, where the hell was that going?

Speaker 1 And I don't, I don't know why, like, I was, we sat here week three or week four, whatever it was, being like, the Jaguars are starting to put something together, and they have just, since that moment, have looked not great at all.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I've got an idea to fix Trevor Lawrence. My idea to fix Trevor Lawrence is pretty simple.
Just get players that were on Clemson to play in his office.

Speaker 1 Travis Etienne's looking pretty nice.

Speaker 2 Yeah, Travis Etienne looks good. Maybe go out, try to trade for Hunter Renfro.

Speaker 1 Who's the guy in the Packers?

Speaker 2 It's another Rodgers, isn't it? Amari Rogers, I think. Right?

Speaker 1 Which I think the Packers would like to cut.

Speaker 2 Yeah, get Amari Rodgers on the team. If you look around the league, there are a couple like Jamar Chase, Joe Burrow.
Yeah. That was a good transition for both of them.

Speaker 1 I love when play when Devontae Adams, Derek Corrupt.

Speaker 2 That's why they got.

Speaker 1 Tua in Waddle.

Speaker 2 Tua Waddle. That's why they got

Speaker 2 Thiba to go to... New England to team him up with Aaron Hernandez.
Right. That didn't work out.
Yep. But the logic is there.
The precedent is there.

Speaker 2 I just feel like Trevor Lawrence, he looks a little bit uncomfortable sometimes throwing to guys that he didn't go to college with. So let's try to get somebody that he went to college with.

Speaker 1 I feel bad for Jaguars fans, too, because you just don't, the early season success to then have it fall backwards.

Speaker 1 You'd always rather have the late season success so you can have a whole offseason of being like, we were coming on. Like we were, what was happening towards the end? Like, we just ran out of time.

Speaker 1 If there was a 25-week season, which Roger Goodell eventually will get to, they would have made the playoffs.

Speaker 1 Like, but having an early start where September looks awesome and then having it fade and you have to sit with the team that doesn't look any better for the rest of the season, that sucks.

Speaker 1 I just think that

Speaker 2 they'll find their footing once they go to London. That's next week, right? Is it?

Speaker 1 Yeah, we got the launder.

Speaker 2 The laundry game. This is where the Jaguars get into a rhythm.

Speaker 1 Jaguars, Dolphins?

Speaker 2 Jaguars, Broncos.

Speaker 1 Broncos. Oh, my God.

Speaker 2 They might actually leave Nathaniel Hackett in England.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to watch that game.

Speaker 2 No, you're not. Yeah, that's a lie.

Speaker 1 Nope. You're not going to watch that game.
You're lying. No, I might just boycott it.
I'm going to go to the bathroom.

Speaker 7 That's a very basic PFD commentary for the marks. They should leave blank in blank.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Leave him on the tarmac. I might just boycott that game because then that would be fun to try to give a recap of, like, I'll listen to your recap.

Speaker 2 You're such a liar. You're going to watch that game.

Speaker 1 Of course, you're going to. I'm going to lying soon.

Speaker 1 I'm going to do a mega lock.

Speaker 2 You can do the boycott that I do sometimes. Just go boycott the NFL from Tuesday to Thursday afternoon.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Except for the COVID year.

Speaker 2 Except for the waiver wire.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the COVID year when they started having Wednesday night football.

Speaker 2 Did you see how Jake just completely alphed me? I just made a comment about leaving Nathaniel Hackett on the tarmac. And that was his very polite way of being like

Speaker 2 that's such a basic thing to say, but in like the nicest way ever.

Speaker 2 I thought for a second he was complimenting me.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, he was not. He was not.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Giants, six and one. The New York Giants, six and one.
Oh, shout out to the guys in the front row wearing the Brian Dable shirts.

Speaker 1 Just total guys being dudes.

Speaker 1 They were just partying it up. They were giving

Speaker 1 Brian Dable like a big cartoon head of him on their shirts. It looked like maybe a bachelor party or something.
And they were feeding the shirt beer.

Speaker 1 So they were giving the beer, their shirt sips of beer and then sipping out of the beer. And it was like, what's better than this? Six-in-one team, pumped about your coach.
Yeah, it's pretty cool.

Speaker 1 Just pouring beer on yourself, and it's hilarious. A great guys moment.
It's pretty cool.

Speaker 2 I would have actually preferred if they had tried to feed it nachos. Yeah.
In the game, game, they just ended up with like cheese sauce and salsa. Yeah.
Chili all over their shirts.

Speaker 2 They see they see some girls later. They try to talk to me.
They're like, what's up with your shirt?

Speaker 1 Oh, I was just feeding coach. I should actually do that.
I should make a shirt where it's the mouth is right around my belly button. And then they'd be like, where'd the chips go?

Speaker 1 And just shove them right into my belly button.

Speaker 2 I want to do one where it's Mike McDaniel. And then

Speaker 2 I just put a gravity bong up to my belly button.

Speaker 1 That would be cool, too. That's very cool.
All right. Next game.
Ravens, Browns. Ravens, 23, Browns,

Speaker 1 20. The Ravens held on to a fourth quarter lead.

Speaker 2 Congratulations.

Speaker 1 They didn't. And they almost didn't because they fumbled and they tried to give it up.

Speaker 1 And we also had Amari Cooper score a touchdown and they called for offensive pass interference, which it seemed like it was, but it also was one of those calls, like they don't usually call it.

Speaker 2 Why'd they do that? It was one of those calls where, yeah, by the book, it's 100% the right call. But at the same time, it's like, come on, it's the Browns.

Speaker 2 Just like let them get away with that right now. But then at the same time, I feel bad for defensive backs because

Speaker 2 every evolution of the NFL rulebook for the last 50 years has been the league trying to figure out a way to take a shit on cornerbacks.

Speaker 2 And so it's okay to call one against the offense when it's really blatant like that.

Speaker 1 But it really was like it was, I watched it back and it was like, I just feel like that doesn't get called.

Speaker 2 It was very impactful. It wasn't, it wasn't flagrant in terms of the guy didn't fall down.

Speaker 1 And it wasn't a full, like a stiff arm push. But he definitely got his hands on it.

Speaker 2 he definitely got like a half step separation it was a it was honestly a great play by Amari Cooper and a lot of times it doesn't get called but I think it was the right call now what was bullshit is what happened after that when they were kicking the field goal and they were kicking a 56 it was really like a 55 yard field goal and then they called a phantom offsides or excuse me they called a phantom false call

Speaker 2 against the browns even though the ravens like encroached and ran into a guy on the line and then they had to move it back five yards and then kid york kicked it like directly into the line. Yeah,

Speaker 1 yeah. Yeah, no, it sucked for the Browns, but the Ravens held on to a lead, and it was also a throwback game for the Ravens.

Speaker 1 When you're watching all these games, you can't fully pay attention to every single second, and I saw Lamar make a couple nice throws, and then I looked back, and he completed nine passes.

Speaker 1 And I was like, what happened here? They just ran the ball, and they actually did what we've been saying.

Speaker 1 Like, you have to do if you're the Ravens in the fourth quarter, they got the ball with the lead with, I I don't know, seven minutes left, and they ran the ball just down their throat, like 11 out of 12 plays,

Speaker 1 took off six minutes a clock, were about to score when there was a fumble. But it felt like the Ravens finally are learning from the fact that every single fourth quarter they blow a lead.

Speaker 2 Yeah, don't let Lamar just go full-on passing in the fourth quarter, especially if you have a big lead like they have had. So

Speaker 2 that was very smart to see. I was hoping that we get to see Deshaun Jackson for at least one play today.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Every time Deshaun gets signed, you and I have the same thought process, which is I can't wait to see Deshaun Jackson catch like a 73-yard touchdown pass and probably pull his hamstring on his way into the end zone and then never play again for the rest of that season.

Speaker 2 Yeah,

Speaker 1 the one catch 80-yard touchdown stat line for Deshaun Jackson. And then in the fourth quarter, yeah, it's

Speaker 1 some kind of injury. It's like, all right, that was fun.
He'll do that till he's 50 years old.

Speaker 2 I want to see how many teams Deshaun Jackson has beaten as a wide receiver because he's played for like every team.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Or he's played for a lot of teams. He's played for a lot of teams.

Speaker 2 And basically, I think the way that he operates is he sits, he watches red zone like all of us, and he sees whatever quarterback throws one nice long ball. He's like, I want to play with that guy.

Speaker 2 Yeah. I just want to, I could catch that guy's long ball.

Speaker 1 For once. Just one time.
One time. And then I'll get injured.
Yeah. And then I'll cash my paycheck.

Speaker 2 I saw Miles Garrett is doing his Halloween things again. Oh.
So he's got the spooky graveyard set up. I think he set his place up to look like the upside down from Stranger Things.

Speaker 2 I think he's doing the thing where he's got quarterback gravestones for everybody that

Speaker 2 you remember when he had the cute little Kyler Murray grave last year? Yep. The little one? That was cute.
That was awesome. So he's turning his yard into a house of horrors.

Speaker 2 Spookiest house in Miles Garrett's spookiest room in Miles Garrett's house. Big Cat, do you know where it is? What is it? His garage.

Speaker 1 Uh-huh. Nice.
Because he crashed his car and almost died. Yeah.

Speaker 1 By the way, we have three teams now, which is crazy to say because, looking at the NFL right now,

Speaker 1 there's some really bad teams out there. I don't know if the Browns are really bad because they have enough dudes that we can name, but they aren't playing good football.

Speaker 1 And we have the Saints at 2-5.

Speaker 1 They have their

Speaker 1 first-round pick next year going to the Eagles. The Browns at 2-5, their first-round pick going to the Texans.
The Broncos at 2-5, their first-round pick going to the Seahawks.

Speaker 1 So we have three teams now that are all could be like top 10, top five picks, all giving up their first round pick to another team which is like a fun thing to watch because you're i

Speaker 1 that's got to just be i mean i know from experience having a really bad team and not having your first round pick is a very very shitty feeling yeah it's tough i also think we need to we need to realize the difference between um bad teams that

Speaker 2 are angry that they're bad

Speaker 2 That doesn't always mean that they're good teams. Right.
Do you know what I mean by that? So, like, the Browns are really pissed off at themselves for being mad at them.

Speaker 1 Saints, too. Saints are really pissed off.
Saints are absolutely pissed off.

Speaker 2 After this game,

Speaker 2 there was a tweet. I forget.
I just copied and pasted the words. I don't know who this is, but it said, we could hear screaming inside the Browns' locker room after the loss.

Speaker 2 Stefanski called it normal football emotion. Yeah.
Which I love normal football emotion. I get that.
But they're really mad at themselves for sucking right now.

Speaker 1 That's because they have the dudes.

Speaker 2 It's because they have the dudes.

Speaker 1 They have the dudes who are like, we're better than this. Like, I'm Nick Chubb.
I'm better than this. I'm Miles Garrett.
I'm better than this. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But it's another lesson if you're going to be bad, just don't have any dudes.

Speaker 2 Yeah, so

Speaker 2 they might actually be bad, though. They've got some dudes.

Speaker 1 No, they're bad.

Speaker 2 But they're just bad.

Speaker 1 Their defense is bad.

Speaker 2 Just because you're mad about being bad doesn't mean that you're not actually bad.

Speaker 1 No, no, their defense is bad. And poor Jacoby Brissette is like,

Speaker 1 it's tough that he has to do this for an extended period of time because he really.

Speaker 1 He probably was the

Speaker 1 one person when he was like looking at Deshaun Watson's suspension. He was like, fuck, it's 11 games or whatever it may be.
Like, can't it be like four games?

Speaker 1 And that's, I thought that's what I signed up for. Like, Tom Brady got suspended for four games.
I only had to play one of those.

Speaker 2 Yeah, this is not at all. Like, Jacoby Brissette is best in small doses.
Give him three weeks, have him win one of those games and maybe lose one to a really good team by a close margin.

Speaker 2 And then you can move on being like Jacoby Brissette's a good backup.

Speaker 1 And now we're just stuck with Jacoby Brissette for multiple months. And it just, it feels too much.

Speaker 1 Like when you're watching him, even Kevin Harlan was calling him a magician today that was a big because he uh like he he basically got out of a sack yeah it was a very basic play he's like jacoby brissette the magician because he was just shocked that he was able to do that so i i've had my jacoby brissette fill yeah i'm done i'm just I don't really want to watch him play football.

Speaker 1 I'm done with him. Yeah.
Until he comes back, until he shows up in a spot start, then I'll get excited about him because that's exactly what he is.

Speaker 2 As a backup for preferably another team. Yeah, that'd be great.
I don't think I need to see him as the Browns backup anymore. Not anymore.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'd agree. All right, let's get to the sad old quarterback portion of the show.
We got three in a row. We'll start with the Commanders, 23, Packers, 21, Taylor Heineke,

Speaker 1 and the Commanders beat Aaron Rodgers. He's got, what, is it three straight losses now? Three straight losses.
Three straight losses.

Speaker 1 He personally

Speaker 1 has three straight losses looking dead on the ground after the game. And the Patriots weren't even trying to beat him.
And the Patriots were there. Thank you, Hank.
Yep, good point.

Speaker 2 So he's got four, technically, he has four straight losses. Four straight losses.
That's a little pro tip to anybody out there.

Speaker 2 If you put the word technically around any take that you have, it makes it automatically correct.

Speaker 1 Technically, they haven't won a game because they didn't embarrass the Bears, which is a loss. Yeah, I mean, that's their standard.

Speaker 2 I mean, technically, the Commanders are the hottest team in football right now.

Speaker 1 That's true. Two in a row.
But yeah,

Speaker 1 let's start with the Commanders, and then

Speaker 1 we'll talk about Aaron Rodgers' dead body on the ground.

Speaker 1 Taylor Heineke, I mean, that was the perfect Taylor Heineke experience where it's pick six looking terrible in the first half and then just lights out gunslinger in the second half.

Speaker 2 Pick six should have been a fumble six. Probably should have been another pick six sprinkled in there, but he doesn't stop trying to throw the ball.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 2 That's what I love about Taylor. The play is never dead when Taylor Heineke is your quarterback.

Speaker 2 Whereas if it's Carson Wentz, he will panic and he'll end the play way too soon because he gets scared of things and loud noises. Taylor Heineke, he embraces the chaos.

Speaker 2 I invite everybody out there to embrace the chaos that is Taylor Heineke because watching a game with him as a quarterback is genuinely fun to do. It is.

Speaker 2 Like every time he throws the ball, I just mutter, I just scream to myself like Heineke. And you never know.
That could be a Heineke of doom. It could be a Heineke of complete joy.

Speaker 2 That's a home run for the New York Yankees.

Speaker 1 Harrison Bader. Is that his name, Bader? Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah, Bader. Mr.
October. Mr.
October.

Speaker 1 Master Bader. Just took it up 5-4 Yankees in the sixth, bottom of the sixth.
So, yeah,

Speaker 2 I love watching Taylor Heineke play. I don't have any expectation for this team, really, but I'm rooting for Heineke.
I hope that he gets a good contract. I hope he makes a lot of money.
And

Speaker 2 he's a fun quarterback to watch, and especially when you're beating teams like the Green Bay Packers, you can delude yourself at times into being ⁇ I know they're not the Green Bay Packers.

Speaker 1 No, they're bad. They're bad now.
They're bad.

Speaker 2 But much like when the Jets... I think what this really says is maybe that Jets win against the Packers might have been fool's gold last week.

Speaker 1 Well, it's funny because we have, and we're going to talk about the Bucs next, but it is like now that we're getting a few weeks further down the line, realizing, oh, this team actually might be bad.

Speaker 1 And that's what the Packers feel like right now. And yeah, Taylor Heineke, he was 13 for 16 for 162 yards and a touchdown in the second half.

Speaker 1 He gets stronger and better as the game goes along because he's like, I'm Taylor Heineke. I was meant for this moment versus Carson Wentz who's like, I'm Carson Wentz.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God, watch out for that lineman. Let me do a spin move and fumble the ball.

Speaker 2 Yeah, maybe and sprained both ankles

Speaker 2 because my body is trying so hard to escape the big man that's coming right for me. Taylor Heineke is, he's like all the

Speaker 2 drug with all the great side effects and all the really terrible drawbacks.

Speaker 2 But I enjoy doing him every Sunday. And I hope they keep putting him out there as quarterback even when Wentz comes back, when he gets healthy.

Speaker 2 I hope it's still Heineke, maybe a little bit, sprinkle a little bit of Sam Howell in there at the end of the year. But he's way more fun to watch.

Speaker 2 He makes watching football fun as opposed to Carson Wentz, who just makes watching football seriously, seriously depressing. Yes.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 this stat, by the way, that they popped up on the screen,

Speaker 1 the Washington football franchise, I guess you call it, because it's three different names, have had 11 different starting quarterbacks since 2018. That's impressive.

Speaker 2 I thought it was more.

Speaker 1 I'll be honest with you. That's impressive.

Speaker 2 It felt like more.

Speaker 2 When you go through

Speaker 2 Wednesday, Garrett Gilbert starts, that feels like a multiplier where you could have told me 24 different quarterbacks in the last four years. I would have said that sounds about right to me.

Speaker 2 But the takeaway is I'm happy with my commanders. I love Taylor Heineke, and I will be tweeting at National Sports Personalities tomorrow, asking them to talk about the Commanders.

Speaker 2 Yeah, talk about the Commanders.

Speaker 1 Say something nice about the Commanders.

Speaker 2 Say something nice. Greeny, I'm looking at you, man.

Speaker 1 They were my mortal lock today, and I loved every second of that game because Taylor Heineke is a gamer. I'm glad.

Speaker 2 I'm glad we let Matt LaFleur walk.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. He, uh, so let's talk about the Packers because the panic that is setting in for the Green Bay Packers is it's

Speaker 1 basically the highlight of my season. They are now

Speaker 1 all kind of like self-combusting because they have a quarterback they paid a ton of money to who's getting older. I don't think Aaron Rodgers is washed, but he's getting older.
And they have

Speaker 1 a roster set up to run the football and play defense and win games the ugly way. Yet they just refuse to run the football and use probably

Speaker 1 their best offensive player, not Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Jones. They just don't use him.

Speaker 1 And watching it week in and week out and Packers fans get upset about the the same thing week in and week out is glorious because they're essentially running an offense that is not fit for their personnel and it just keeps failing.

Speaker 2 And Aaron Rodgers at one point today looked at the sidelines. He's like, what the fuck are we doing?

Speaker 2 And he hates this offense. He hates.

Speaker 1 But they're not running. He's still running.
They're not running the offense they should be running. He hates the fact that he doesn't have wide receivers, but you don't have wide receivers.

Speaker 1 You should run the ball and you should be okay with running the ball. And Aaron Rodgers, like, kind of blames everyone else.
Like, you're not playing perfect football either.

Speaker 2 I'm talking about the motion stuff. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 Motion stuff that he's pissed off about because he's used to just lining up and playing football and just seeing the field, knowing where he's going to the West Coast offense.

Speaker 2 And he's very mad at Matt LaFlurry.

Speaker 2 I don't know what they said after today's game, but I'm sure that whatever Aaron Rodgers said, he'll get on a microphone tomorrow and be like, no, I didn't mean it like that.

Speaker 2 I meant it in a different, less antagonistic way. But the Packers, they're just, they're bad.

Speaker 2 And at the end of the game, I did think for a second that, okay, there is too much time on the clock for Aaron Rodgers. And they ran some weird plays.
They didn't let Aaron Rodgers throw a Hail Mary.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Why don't you call Hail Mary for statistically the best?

Speaker 1 He's too old.

Speaker 2 He's an atheist, too, which I think impacts his Hail Mary capabilities. Yes.
And they did the.

Speaker 1 You're on a roll tonight with those.

Speaker 1 That was a good joke. Yeah.
Well, it's true. The Miles Garrett.
He's an atheist.

Speaker 2 So, well, the Miles Garrett was a bad one.

Speaker 2 But the play at the end of this game was they tried to do the rugby style thing. And coaches, I know that I talk about the rugby design laterals too much maybe on this show.

Speaker 2 But just for the end of the game in that situation,

Speaker 2 if you know how to set up a basic line, you should be able to run that play and at least advance the ball 30, 40 yards every time. Yeah.
You should, because they know how to defend it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 But they don't know. And it ended up, it was very funny.
Aaron Rodgers throwing it all the way across the field to his offensive lineman.

Speaker 1 Forward. Forward.
Justin Field's a better passer backwards than Aaron Rodgers. That's a statistical fact.

Speaker 2 That's true. And then Aaron Rodgers is lying face down on the ground.
He wouldn't get up. Just crying, just weeping into it.
Oh, it was so delicious.

Speaker 1 It was a shitty turf. It was so delicious.

Speaker 1 They suck. They're not a good football team, and it feels like none of them are on the same page.
It feels like the front office.

Speaker 1 coach and quarterback, none of them are on the same page because they built this entire team to be one way and they're playing games the complete opposite way and they keep losing and they're like, why are we losing?

Speaker 1 Because I just, if they ran the, if they just took Aaron Jones and like run it down your throat every time,

Speaker 1 I think they would be a five and two team right now. I really do.
And I know that maybe that's just because that's exactly what they did to the Bears and it worked very well, but I don't know why.

Speaker 1 I think they ran it. I think they ran a total of 12 running plays today.

Speaker 2 Aaron Jones, when he had the ball, I don't know what the numbers are, but I do remember in the first half them running the ball and be like, well, they can just get six yards a carry.

Speaker 1 So they ran the ball 12 times for 38 yards, which obviously isn't a great average. But that's

Speaker 1 to run the ball effectively, You have to keep running it.

Speaker 2 So that you can break one or two.

Speaker 1 Yeah, right. And then eventually you're going to weaken the defense to be able to break those.

Speaker 1 12 rushes is just like, that's not enough when Aaron Jones is one of your best players.

Speaker 2 It's pretty bad. Shout out to the FedEx field crowd today.
I know that there were, it was probably like 60%

Speaker 2 Washington Commanders fans today, which is an improvement over what it's been in the past. They had some really loud sell the team chants going.

Speaker 2 They booed the fuck out of Tanya Snyder when they put her ass on the Jumbotron. Alumni week.
So well done. It was alumni.

Speaker 1 So just everyone who hasn't sued the Commanders comes back.

Speaker 2 What it is, it's any member of a team that finished above 500 that is currently not actively involved in litigation against the team, also minus Chris Cooley, who just hates the team. Yep.

Speaker 2 Then they'll bring you back and they will award you with like, they'll let you touch one of the old Lombardi trophies at halftime. Yeah.
So that was really nice to see.

Speaker 1 What did you guys just point, Hank? What did you just point to Jake for?

Speaker 2 They're just showing the time for tomorrow's game, if necessary.

Speaker 1 What did it say? 4:30. Oh, it is.
That's what it's about. 5.07.

Speaker 2 It says 5.07.

Speaker 1 4:30 for the pregame start or whatever.

Speaker 2 I just want to put this out here because we're going to see eventually, maybe, a touchdown catch by Sammy Watkins.

Speaker 2 And when that happens, then you'll have to update your Aaron Rodgers graphics of he's now thrown two touchdowns to players that were drafted in the first year.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes. I'm looking up, by the way, Aaron Jones

Speaker 1 rushing this year. So against the Bears, he was 15 carries for 132 yards.
Against the Patriots, these are two of the three wins. He was 16 carries for 110 yards.

Speaker 1 And then he's run the ball nine times, eight times today and nine times last week. I don't really get that.
That makes no sense. But I love it.
I don't want them to stop doing this.

Speaker 1 Never give Aaron Jones the ball.

Speaker 2 Here's a little stat. Aaron Rodgers, he now joined Tom Brady at 3-4.
That's his first season with a losing record through seven games in his entire career.

Speaker 1 Wow, not even the Mike McCarthy year? The firing year? Apparently not. I guess they lost down the stretch.

Speaker 2 That's probably what put the accelerator on firing Mike Mike McCarthy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, remember Joe Philbin? Yep. Oh, my God.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Joe Philbin was a little bit of a family. Joe Philbin Dolphins Legend.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Joe Philbin looking like a dead guy just standing on the sidelines.

Speaker 1 That face,

Speaker 1 he just instilled, like,

Speaker 1 I am no higher than a special teams coordinator. Don't ever make me anything more than that.

Speaker 2 It's like him and Matt Rule. Those are the two prime guys that if I saw that you were hiring that person to be a head football coach, I would fire you for even considering hiring him.

Speaker 7 He was their head coach when they they were on hard knocks.

Speaker 1 So you got a front row seat to that. Oh, so that year there were three, four, and one.

Speaker 2 Which coach do you think was more boring on hard knocks? Joe Philbin or whoever it was. What's that guy's name that was the coach of the Buccaneers?

Speaker 2 Fuck, who was it? That guy that looked like he worked at Home Depot.

Speaker 2 Shit. He had maybe like a German name with a K in it.

Speaker 1 Wait, not a head coach?

Speaker 2 No, I think he was a head coach. A head coach? Yeah, Bucks head coach.

Speaker 1 They had Lovey, obviously.

Speaker 2 This is going to kill me.

Speaker 1 what year was that

Speaker 1 dirk cutter yeah dirt cutter that was him right yeah i haven't looked it up yet dirk cutter who is i now think the passing game coordinator for

Speaker 1 uh oh no he's he's the interim offensive coordinator at boise i knew i his name popped up because they fired the offensive coordinator and

Speaker 2 the name of the arizona this is kind of what dirk cutter You'll never believe this. He was the coach for three whole years in Tampa Bay.

Speaker 1 Wow, good times.

Speaker 2 What were you guys thinking? Dirk Cutter.

Speaker 1 Good times.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the Packers sucked. They didn't have a third-down conversion without a penalty flag today, which is crazy to say.
Also, Aaron Rodgers has 47 passing yards in the first half.

Speaker 2 It was wild, especially considering that this Washington Commanders defense is essentially, personnel-wise, basically the same from last year when they had a historically bad third-down defense.

Speaker 2 Right. And by historically, I believe they were the worst of all time.
Yes. And then they can't even get a single third-down conversion today.

Speaker 1 It was crazy.

Speaker 2 I couldn't believe what was going on with the Packers.

Speaker 2 If you can't convert a third down against this Washington defense, your team's broken. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Broke, broke. Yes.
No, they are very, very broken. So

Speaker 1 it's great. And I hope they don't figure it out.
Let me look at their schedule real quick because it does.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 people are probably getting burned being like, this is, I thankfully got off of this. I was like, come in, like, the Packers stink.
The commanders with Taylor Heineke are frisky.

Speaker 1 Like, you're going to to keep doing this. Oh,

Speaker 1 yes. Holy shit, yes.
They play the Bills on Sunday Night Football next week. That is going.

Speaker 1 You might have to record late. You're getting a pervert.
We might have to record late.

Speaker 1 I might have to just soak in that game. You're getting perverted right now.

Speaker 1 I am literally getting

Speaker 1 half a chub thinking about what Josh Allen's going to do.

Speaker 2 That team.

Speaker 2 There was one national NFL writer that texted us. I'll just say that it was Hank that did it.
That said that he prefers Antonio Gibson over Brian Robinson.

Speaker 2 College football writer. College football writer.
Also dabbles in NFL.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Tweets out a lot of time.

Speaker 1 He's not very smart in the NFL.

Speaker 2 He's also pervert and Italian.

Speaker 2 And he said that he prefers Antonio Gibson to Brian Robinson because

Speaker 2 Antonio Gibson is fully healthy without bullets in his leg. And I thought that was a bit over the line.
It was similar to Billy's favorite president.

Speaker 1 Kenny Pickett just threw a terrible pick.

Speaker 2 I like my running backs who don't get shot. And guess what? Brian Robinson.

Speaker 2 He's awesome. I still think if you can get comeback player of the year for something that happens in the middle of the season, give it to that guy.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Kenny Pickett just threw a terrible, terrible pick. Looks like the Dolphins are going to win.
Hopefully they don't cover, but it feels like they're also going to cover. So that was bad.

Speaker 1 There's a lot of action going on right now. The Yankees are trying to hold on to a one-run lead.
Let's do an ad and then let's talk about another old... quarterback in Tom Brady.

Speaker 1 So PFT, you got a quick word from one of our sponsors.

Speaker 9 Hey, this is Rhea from Chicks in the Office. And this season, we're heading home for the holidays with Abercrombie and Fitch.
We all know our calendars are about to get chaotic.

Speaker 9 For non-stop plans, Abercrombie has the pieces to curate your perfect seasonal wardrobe: sweaters and denim for casual plans, party dresses for nights out, and comfy matching sets for everything in between.

Speaker 9 Keep the chaos cute this season in Abercrombie. Shop their new holiday outfits in the app online or in stores.

Speaker 1 Dude, okay, next up, another, this is also just a fantastic peek into my mind where I'm like,

Speaker 1 this team, the Packers, they stink and everyone thinks they're going to turn it around, like bet against them. And then I just keep betting on the Bucs and thinking they're going to turn it around.

Speaker 1 The Bucs are a bad football team. They lose 21-3 to the Carolina Panthers, who...
Everyone thought was the worst football team in the NFL, maybe the Texans, but they were in the running for it.

Speaker 1 They not only beat them, they beat like the shit out of them. The Bucs are so broken.
It started with Mike Evans dropping a ball that was, he was,

Speaker 1 they calculated he was 10.9 yards of separation. That's how far open he was, which is like almost unheard of in the NFL.
And he drops it. From that point on, the Bucs offense was as bad as it gets.

Speaker 1 Their drive chart was punt, punt, punt, punt, end of half, punt, downs, punt, field goal, downs. Not great.
Zero turnovers, three points. That's hard to do.
Not great.

Speaker 2 Tom Brady, when was the last time he had three points

Speaker 2 that he played on?

Speaker 1 He had

Speaker 1 three. So it's funny you bring that up because I have a stat that Hank's going to love.
Oh, wait.

Speaker 2 Is it that New Orleans Saints game?

Speaker 1 Well, here's the stat. Hank's going to love this because this, Hank, you can just put this in your back pocket to the Bucs have ruined Tom Brady.

Speaker 1 Tom Brady has scored three or less points five times in his entire career. In his first 20 years, all for the New England Patriots.

Speaker 1 He did it twice in the last three years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He's done it three times.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Not good.
Not good. So

Speaker 2 my theory on these Panthers is that they see that they're trading away all the good players right now.

Speaker 2 And so all the players on the Panthers hate playing on the Panthers so much that now they're trying really hard because they're like, wait, if I play well,

Speaker 2 I might get traded away from here. So that's a very powerful motivational tool for these Panthers players to be having right now.

Speaker 1 Although they shouldn't trade, like, it was was DJ Moore played well, caught a crazy touchdown pass, and Brian Burns played well. And he's like, the Panthers should not trade those two guys.

Speaker 1 I know there's been a lot of talk about it, and I'm sure there's some Panthers fans who are like, oh, let's get all the picks.

Speaker 1 You don't want to trade like your actually young, good talent, because then you draft someone, and there's like a 50% chance they suck. Those guys are good.

Speaker 2 So we know they're good. So you want to use your draft picks to get guys like that.

Speaker 1 Don't give them away.

Speaker 2 In your wildest dreams, you would want your picks to turn into those guys.

Speaker 1 You're overpriced running back, and Christian McCaffrey's good, but that's a position that you shouldn't be using a ton of your money on.

Speaker 1 That's someone you trade, not the guys that are young and can be the future of your friends.

Speaker 2 Matt Rule took over this team, and he was like, the fans seem to really like Christian McCaffrey. Let's give him a big contract.
I'd like to keep him around for a while.

Speaker 2 So, yeah, I think that the Panthers, they might be experiencing that little thing where they're playing for future jobs, and they're playing for the right to not have to be a Carolina Panther anymore.

Speaker 2 Yes. And here's a fun little stat about Tom Brady.
With his week seven loss to the Panthers, Tom Brady has a losing record through his first seven games of his season for the first time since when?

Speaker 1 Trivia question. Never had.
Trivia question. 2002.

Speaker 2 2002, his first full season as a starting quarterback. And that's the only healthy season of his career where he did not make the playoffs.

Speaker 1 And it's crazy because the XFL is very much back because we had Taylor Heineke and P.J. Walker, XFL Legends beat Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady today.
P.J.

Speaker 1 Walker is like, how can you not root for the guy? Because he was undrafted, cut,

Speaker 1 led the league and led the XFL in touchdowns and yards before it got canceled. Now is, I think, 2-1 as a spot starter.

Speaker 1 And he, I don't, I mean, watching this game, it was crazy because you just kept on thinking like, oh, yeah, the Bucs will wake up. They just aren't good.
They just straight up are not a good team.

Speaker 2 Their losses against the Panthers and the Steelers are probably, it's probably the worst two-game stretch that any team will have all season.

Speaker 1 It's, I mean, it... When you take

Speaker 1 a 13-point favor?

Speaker 2 Yeah, when you take into account how much they were favored by in each game, it's pretty bad. This was supposed to be the get-right game for the Bucs.
They're wrong.

Speaker 2 They got less right than they were before. They got worse.

Speaker 1 I actually, so I had this idea last night when I was watching South Carolina Texas A ⁇ M, and Miami had just lost to Duke by, I think, double digits.

Speaker 1 And at the end of the year, I want us to do a recap of big games we thought they were big games that ended up not being big games.

Speaker 1 Like the Texas-Miami game in whatever it was, week three, everyone got pumped for it. Oh man, Texas AM is great.

Speaker 1 Miami's back. And it's like both those teams are probably going to not even go to a bowl.

Speaker 1 The Packers-Bucks game that we watched, whatever it was, week three, week four, we're like, big game, huge game. Implications for the playoff seating.

Speaker 1 We're going to look back and be like, no, that game just sucked. And 14-12 was exactly what we thought it was like a defensive battle.
And oh, they aren't healthy. No, no.

Speaker 1 Both those teams just aren't that good.

Speaker 2 Yeah, you're going to probably maybe say that about maybe Rams, Cardinals. Yeah.
Maybe some of those games.

Speaker 1 So we need to do a retrospective of

Speaker 1 all the games that we thought were big games in the moment. And then we look back and we're like, that game, if they played that now, we'd be like, no, thanks.
What were we saying?

Speaker 1 Like, if Miami and Texas in him played right now, I'd be like, no, put it at noon and I'll watch it on ESPNU.

Speaker 2 I think we were saying when we did our season preview with Andy Staples that we should draft games that will will be played over the course of the season and see how good those games are going to be compared to our drafting of those matchups.

Speaker 2 Hank and I were talking a little bit on the couch today about Brady. And Hank, you were saying that

Speaker 2 Brady still has like an ace up his sleeve that he can use with his family, where if he just walks away from the team right now in the middle of the, like, what could be more romantic?

Speaker 1 You were saying some other shit. What could be more romantic

Speaker 1 than that?

Speaker 1 Right? I think you were saying some other shit.

Speaker 2 What if Tom Brady just like quit in the middle of the season to go be with his family? Like, Giselle would probably be taken aback and be like, wow, this is a grand gesture.

Speaker 1 It's the most romantic thing you've ever done. It would be.

Speaker 1 It would. I think.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 the Bucs stink. Tom Brady probably realizes that the playoffs are a long way away to make the playoffs.

Speaker 1 That's the problem is they 100% are still going to make the playoffs. Yeah, they'll make it.
As they play in the NFC South.

Speaker 2 I actually think the most romantic thing, and this should be a motivational tool for Tom Brady, the most romantic thing you can do if you really want your family back, you got to turn this motherfucker around.

Speaker 2 You got to get the Bucs to the playoffs. You got to get them all the way to the Super Bowl and then quit right before the Super Bowl and go back to her.
I like it. I've realized where,

Speaker 2 in all this perspective having that I've done this week, I've realized that you're what's more important to me than some who cares about a Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 Kyle Trask will play in the Super Bowl. Yeah.
Jake, remind us, because this is going to happen. The Bucs are going to make the playoffs.
They play it. Oh, the Yankees are about to blow this lead.

Speaker 7 They had an ending-ending double play with an error, and the Ostros just tied it.

Speaker 1 Oh, man.

Speaker 7 Similar to game three when they collided in the outfield and that hit a two-run home run.

Speaker 1 This is really hard. This is a painful way to go.
Not a Bill. This is not a painful way to go out.

Speaker 2 It's kind of crazy to think that in this

Speaker 1 part of my take.

Speaker 2 Like, most of us have had teams win a World Series. Yeah.
And now it's up to Billy, you,

Speaker 1 Jake. Yeah, the Yankees are.
And Max. Yeah.

Speaker 1 We've, yeah. Yeah.
Four-sixths of the show have gone, or four-fifths, because you guys are both Yankee fans, have gone to the, at least gone to the World Series. The Yankees have not.

Speaker 1 Tip of the cap. Imagine saying,

Speaker 1 the Red Sox, the Phillies, the Cubs, and the Nationals have all gone to the World Series, and the Yankees have not. Correct.
Wow. Not good.
That's a bad franchise.

Speaker 7 No hiding from us.

Speaker 1 It's a bad franchise.

Speaker 2 I think it just speaks to how.

Speaker 1 Bad decade. No, it's a bad franchise.
It's a bad franchise.

Speaker 2 It's a poorly run franchise.

Speaker 1 Pinstripes don't mean anything anymore.

Speaker 7 That's a fact. It's not ideal.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, no, it's a good. You guys made the playoffs pretty much every year in the decade.

Speaker 1 That seems like a good thing. I was saying this spin zone earlier.
He's a choke artist and can't even make it to the championship. 62 home runs is like that's better than a World Series.
Right.

Speaker 1 No clean player has ever done that. That's like almost top five of all time.
Yeah, hang a banner. Number one clean run.
Number one clean. Number one clean.
Jake, check the record book.

Speaker 1 You're a stats guy. Yeah.
So is record play clean or dirty on the record list? Can you show me Sammy Sosa's failed drug test? Jake,

Speaker 1 you can't.

Speaker 2 Where did Barry Bonds ever test positive?

Speaker 1 So what are you... I don't know.
I just go by the record books. Yeah.
You believe the fake news.

Speaker 1 That's what you do.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Okay, so 62.
That's hang a banner.

Speaker 1 Okay, wait. Brady, we were talking about...
Oh, yeah. He's old.
Yeah, he's old. Oh, yeah.
They will go to the playoffs. What I was saying to Jake is remind us, because this is what's going to happen.

Speaker 1 The Bucs are going to win the NFC South. They're probably going to win, I don't know, let's say, what do you think they're going to go? Maybe 10 and 7? Maybe?

Speaker 2 If I'm just putting my finger in the wind and feeling which way I think that this Bucs team could go, I think that they'd probably make the playoffs at 10 and 7.

Speaker 1 9-8, maybe?

Speaker 2 They could go 11-6.

Speaker 1 I don't think they're going 11-6.

Speaker 2 Not how they are right now.

Speaker 1 Do you think they only lose two more games? No, they're not going 11-6.

Speaker 2 I'm just saying, like, how long until Bruce Arians gets moved from two steps off the sideline to one step off the sideline?

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, I don't think they're going 11-6. 6.
I could see them going, yeah,

Speaker 1 10 and 7, 9 and 8. Either way, they're going to have a home playoff game because they're winning the NFC South.

Speaker 1 Jake, you need to, no matter what we say, don't let us bet on the Bucs because what we're going to say, and everyone in the world is going to say it, don't count out Tom Brady. This team is bad.

Speaker 1 This team is just bad. And sometimes you've got to say, guess what? It's not all Tom Brady's fault, but the team is bad.

Speaker 7 It's going to be the first don't bet on this person in the playoffs reminder.

Speaker 7 From the January 24th of last season, Titans Bengals. Don't let Big Cat bet on Ryan Tannon on the playoffs.

Speaker 1 All right, yes. All right, so this is good.

Speaker 1 They were going to do the same thing.

Speaker 7 So now it's two reminders.

Speaker 1 All right, so that's actually the perfect setting because the Titans are going to win the AFC South. So both.
Oh, Kenny Pickett just threw a pick. He was leading him down

Speaker 1 incomplete.

Speaker 2 Wait, wait, Big Cat, before you get to that, I'm just looking at the Buc schedule.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, they're not going 11-6.

Speaker 2 Loss, loss.

Speaker 2 They're playing the Seahawks at 9.30 a.m. I'm assuming that's a London game.
Yep.

Speaker 2 I like the Seahawks. That's a weird Seahawks game.

Speaker 1 The Seahawks are in first place.

Speaker 1 Why was that ruled income? Yeah, that was a big one.

Speaker 2 Then Deshaun Watson.

Speaker 2 Yeah, 9-7. But they might make the playoffs if they're 9-7.

Speaker 1 No, I think they will. I think if

Speaker 1 they beat the Saints, if they can beat the Panthers,

Speaker 1 which they couldn't today, they already have one game against the Falcons. They're going to go to the playoffs.
Don't let us bet

Speaker 1 because you know we're going to talk ourselves and be like, don't count on Tom Brady. This team is just bad.
Similar to the Packers. They're just bad.
It's just a bad team.

Speaker 1 Maybe they figure it out, but they're a bad team.

Speaker 2 And how romantic would it be if the, let's just say they're up by like one point at halftime and Tom Brady pulls Avante Davis and just leaves and drives home at halftime of the Super Bowl to be with his wife.

Speaker 1 And I don't think it's all Tom Brady. Their offensive line is crap.
Their defense is supposed to be really good.

Speaker 1 And then it felt like whatever the Panthers needed to, you know, get a drive or even ice the game, they were able to gash him. It's just a bad football team.

Speaker 2 I feel like they don't have any weapons. I mean, Mike Evans, yeah, he's great,

Speaker 2 and he dropped that one catch today, which was really tough to watch.

Speaker 1 Julio Jones, guess what?

Speaker 1 He's stinks. He hasn't played.
He stinks now.

Speaker 2 Tom Brady's probably considering getting on the phone with Antonio Brown. Yeah.
Be like, hey, I know that you've been posting some memes recently.

Speaker 2 You've been very active in Photoshop, but let's just let bygones be bygones because I'm trying to win a football game here. Yes.

Speaker 1 All right, so the Steelers officially have lost this game.

Speaker 1 That was actually.

Speaker 2 The Steelers covered.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they covered. Good teams win, great teams cover.
Dolphins feel like they're back on the street. Right back in the mix.

Speaker 7 Undefeated with two in a full game. Yes.

Speaker 1 They finally did a full four quarters where they had the same quarterback the whole time, which they hadn't done in like a moment.

Speaker 7 They haven't lost with that formula.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 So good for the Dolphins.

Speaker 1 I mean, the Steelers are... Put the Steelers in your frisky file because it does feel like they play frisky ball.
And TJ Watt will be coming back. Yep.
So, but,

Speaker 1 yeah, that didn't feel... I'll have to watch the the all-22.
It didn't feel like Kenny was great down the stretch, even though I still believe him.

Speaker 7 And the Astros are taking the lead after the error of the inning-ending double play.

Speaker 2 And Hank is chuckling like the Joker. That was a very Jokerified chuckle that you gave.

Speaker 1 Are you going to finally give up, Jake?

Speaker 1 Of course not. Okay.

Speaker 2 That was even like the Joaquin Phoenix Joker. Yeah.
That was an evil, evil, villainous laugh. You just pathetic team.

Speaker 1 Pathetic team.

Speaker 1 Pathetic. Pathetic.

Speaker 1 Billy?

Speaker 1 Come on. The game's not over.

Speaker 1 The game's not over. Billy knows what's going on.
What about the Saturdays, Billy? How do you feel about this? You guys both went to the game on Saturday night. That was pathetic.

Speaker 1 That was pathetic.

Speaker 1 Saturday night's game was pathetic.

Speaker 7 Yankee games of my life, that was the worst playoff game I've had.

Speaker 1 Would you say it was pathetic? It was pathetic. Yes.
You guys had like two hits?

Speaker 7 Three hits, two of them in the ninth inning. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Pathetic. They had one hit entering the ninth inning.
Going to a game and not being able to cheer not once. Yeah.
That's pathetic.

Speaker 7 Cole having a scoreless first inning.

Speaker 1 Oh, that was cool. Yeah, that was awesome.
And it was cool when he said, I got you. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
That was very funny. That was awesome.
Don't worry. I'll take care of this guy.

Speaker 7 I got you.

Speaker 2 Good teammate.

Speaker 1 And the short porch. Just poetic.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it's like you built your own stadium to eliminate yourself. Yes.

Speaker 1 That's tough.

Speaker 2 It was a really nice day.

Speaker 2 Foisted by your own petard.

Speaker 1 Oh, no.

Speaker 2 I hate that.

Speaker 1 If they only had closed the roof, game two. That would have been different.

Speaker 2 That was very funny.

Speaker 1 Yeah. The Yankees, I mean, you guys have to admit, the Yankees, the way they go out and the excuses they make are so funny.

Speaker 2 It's very funny that it's the Yankees.

Speaker 1 You can't defend that. No, you can't defend the fact that they were like exit velocity.
I said, I was like, why not just play the games? Whoever has the hardest hit ball in the game wins. Also, it's

Speaker 1 ending double play, but on the play to first, the pitcher should have been there a lot earlier. That was two mistakes.
Two mistakes. That's fun hustle.
Altubs.

Speaker 1 You know what they say? Bad fundies. Yeah, fundamentals.
This is the stuff they work off in streets winning. Big cat home runs.
Yeah, that's true. 62 of them.
And the team in general.

Speaker 1 Like, they just mash, so who cares? You know what, though? Can't play small balls. Most Yankee fans.

Speaker 1 Can't pitch. No bullpen.
The majority of Yankee fans are.

Speaker 1 The one nice thing you could say is the majority of Yankee fans are Giants or Jets fans, so at least they have a good football team. That's a fact.
Except Jake. Except, well, his team just won.

Speaker 1 Yeah, his team just won.

Speaker 1 Okay. Next up, sad quarterbacks.
Titans, Colts, Titans, 19, Colts, 10.

Speaker 1 Matt Ryan just got absolutely demolished in this game. The Titans

Speaker 1 won it essentially just Derrick. They're like old school Titans.
They went Derrick Henry in defense.

Speaker 1 Bud Dupree back, best name ever,

Speaker 1 playing great defense. And yeah, it's like the Colts, they had the nice little two-game stretch where it was like, hey, they're winning games ugly.
Look at like they went to

Speaker 1 short game in Denver and they win a Thursday night game. Then they beat the Jags at home with a fourth quarter comeback.

Speaker 1 And then you come back to Earth and you see Matt Ryan just running for his life, getting absolutely smoked, playing and play out. He has nine interceptions, 11 fumbles, three loss, but 11 fumbles.
And

Speaker 2 this is what you paid for. He's actually, he's had a good couple weeks for his fumbling, considering what he was at before.
So he's on an upswing for that.

Speaker 2 He's doing this thing where anytime somebody gets in the backfield, he starts to bail on a throw before he even starts. He gets scared.
He gets very scared. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Which, I mean, like, all things considered, it's probably correct to get scared

Speaker 2 against these guys at your age. Yes.
But you have to have a quarterback that just pretends to not be afraid when you're trying to throw football. He's not at that point anymore.
So

Speaker 2 congratulations to the AFC South Tennessee Titans. I mean, the champions?

Speaker 1 The Titans are, it's just, they just do it every year. They're not.

Speaker 1 No one's going to say the Titans are like this incredible team, but they just keep having wins and results. And they have the driver's seat now with two games at hand against the Colts.

Speaker 2 Which feels like 10.

Speaker 1 It feels like 10. The Jaguars stink.
The Texans think. The Titans, it's their division to lose.
And Derrick Henry,

Speaker 1 he had 128 yards on 30 attempts. It was just old school football.
The Titans are now 15-3 the last three years when he rushes for over 100 yards. And I do have one thing that I found.

Speaker 1 So two quotes that I found that made me chuckle. One, our friend Dan Dokich said,

Speaker 1 this is just a very old man thing to say. He just tweeted, Matt Ryan,

Speaker 1 my ass. My ass.
Yeah. Yeah.
Just loved it. I was like, yeah, that's enough said.
He also.

Speaker 2 My ass. Dockich had another fire tweet yesterday about his ass, too.

Speaker 1 His ass.

Speaker 2 Can somebody put together maybe Jake or Billy? This sounds like more like a

Speaker 2 Billy assignment. Can you look up all of Dan Dockach's tweets that use the phrase ass?

Speaker 1 My ass. Especially my ass.
That's such an.

Speaker 2 I see it all the time from him. And every time I see it, I have to hit retweet because I love Dan Dockach thinking about his ass.

Speaker 1 Like, I think the first time that was ever said was like when they invented color TVs. They're like, color TVs, my ass.

Speaker 1 I wanted black and white. That's how that, that's an old school thing to say, my ass.

Speaker 2 I would say just the first, the first car that was invented. Yeah.
I got a horse. Yeah.
What's this? A motor, my ass.

Speaker 1 My ass. Yeah.
It's literally a donkey. Yeah.

Speaker 1 We got a lot. We got a lot? No, baby.

Speaker 1 Read us some. Read us a couple.

Speaker 8 Oh, most recent, Matt Ryan, my ass.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 8 We got

Speaker 8 this one's from a year ago. My man, Jackson Pardon, can really go.
College coaches, if you want a tough-ass winner, this is the kid.

Speaker 1 That's not, that's not the

Speaker 8 three hours ago, my ass.

Speaker 1 Okay. And not my ass.
About what?

Speaker 2 What's the context on that one?

Speaker 1 I don't even know. It's just.
He's just treated my ass.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Okay.
Okay, good.

Speaker 1 He might have like diarrhea.

Speaker 8 Oh, this one. This one's from June.
Defund the police, my ass.

Speaker 1 Okay, nice tracks. Yeah, this is all the.
I like this.

Speaker 8 What the fuck is IU doing? It's Branch McCracken Court. Put his damn name in the court.
Cindy Simon Scoach Assembly Hall, My Ass.

Speaker 1 Okay. Very good.
Okay.

Speaker 8 Just saw the release. Woodson is acting like he fired Fife.
How ridiculous is that? What have I told you about Fife? What have I told you for years about IUBB? Brotherhood, my ass.

Speaker 1 My ass. Okay, that's a good one.

Speaker 8 As I explained today, I don't need morality lessons from a politician. I need results.
Honest, my ass.

Speaker 1 Yeah, this is. Yeah,

Speaker 1 when Dawkins drops a my ass,

Speaker 1 you're done. Yeah, you're cooked.
So, Matt Ryan, Matt Ryan, Matt Ryan, my ass. My ass.

Speaker 8 Picture of Whoopi Goldberg tells about health and how you're supposed to act.

Speaker 1 My ass. Oh, I like that.

Speaker 1 Oh, oh, here.

Speaker 2 This is the one that I saw the other night. Get off Brian Kelly's all caps ass.

Speaker 1 Oh, nice.

Speaker 1 Nice. I mean, Brian Kelly.

Speaker 2 Hooked on confetti, my ass.

Speaker 1 My ass. Yeah.
So I saw that one. Great quote.
Dan Dokich. You know, just

Speaker 1 nothing more to be said than Matt Ryan, my my ass. Like, watching him play quarterback, it has to be painful for Colts fans right now.
And then, Jim Ursa,

Speaker 1 this is such a telling quote.

Speaker 1 It was a story. I think it was either Schefter or Rapboard tweeted out a story.
Jim Ursai said about Matt Ryan, I've been around a lot of leaders, and I'd put him right up there with Peyton Manning.

Speaker 1 When you have to talk about your quarterback as a leader, not actually a quarterback, they probably suck.

Speaker 2 I don't know how he's comparable comparable to Peyton Manning.

Speaker 1 As a leader, though, he didn't say anything about his quarterbacking, which is what you pay him to do.

Speaker 2 I guess he's a leader in terms that he gets the team to play for him. No, I think he's sort of like

Speaker 2 right now, the Colts' entire style of play kind of does embody Matt Ryan. Yeah.
So they are playing, they are taking after his identity. So you could say he's...

Speaker 2 He's doing a good job leading them to be who he is.

Speaker 1 Right. And I think it's more that he's an older guy in the locker room, and and he's played a lot of games, so people follow him, and he's a nice guy.
We've had him on the show. He's a very nice guy.

Speaker 1 He's had a great career.

Speaker 1 He's not good anymore.

Speaker 2 I just think Jim Ursa bases whatever his

Speaker 2 current mood is just pretty much perfectly aligned with whatever Bob Dylan song he just ended up listening to.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 So if he hears the times they are changing, then that's when he gets in front of a microphone and says, we're going to fire Dan Snyder. That sort of thing.

Speaker 2 So he probably heard like an emotional song, and he was like, yeah, I like, you what? Now, for the time being, I like Matt Ryan.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Matt Ryan.

Speaker 2 But I do.

Speaker 1 He's just as good of a leader as Peyton Manning.

Speaker 1 What about his quarterbacking?

Speaker 2 I do think he's probably going to fire Frank Reich.

Speaker 1 And Ballard. I think that we.

Speaker 2 I think you have to fire Ballard. Probably should get rid of both of them.
I feel like Frank Reich might be a mid-season firing.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean.

Speaker 2 Little Birdie told me they got a special teams coordinator that they're looking at.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 They are still very much in the playoff hunt with the AFC. I mean, like we said, the Titans losing to the Titans twice this early in the season feels like a very large deficit they have to overcome.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 they're 3-3-1, which is, you know, we're talking about how bad Matt Ryan has been and how bad the team has been, but they are 3-3-1. So I guess they can't be the worst.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 They're not as bad as the Texans and the Jaguars. And guess what? They get to play the Texans and the Jaguars.
No, they play the Jaguars twice. They have the Texans again one more time.

Speaker 2 This is kind of a perfect summation of what it's like being a Titans fan a little bit because

Speaker 2 after the game, Ryan Tannehill was seen in a walking boot.

Speaker 1 He was hurt in the second half. He gutted it out.

Speaker 2 He gutted it out.

Speaker 1 By just handing it off to Derrick Henry.

Speaker 2 He had a walking boot on his right foot, I believe.

Speaker 2 And the Titans are in first place. They're probably going to win that division.

Speaker 2 It's starting to be Tractor Cito season, and nobody in the Titans fan base is freaking out about Ryan Tannehill potentially being injured. No.

Speaker 1 Because they're like, well,

Speaker 2 let's see Malik Willis out there. He's

Speaker 2 probably not going to be as bad. But I like Malik Willis.
I do. But it seems like they don't know how to use him when they put him in games.

Speaker 2 It seems like most cool things that I've seen Malik Willis do when he's been in the game for the Titans has been because something broke down and he has to improvise on the back end of it and figure out a way to make something happen.

Speaker 1 I just think that the Titans are probably, I mean, it's a credit to Mike Rabel as an incredible coach that they're always seemed to be in this situation. They start 0-2 this year.

Speaker 1 They're now on a four-game winning streak.

Speaker 1 They do have the driver's seat. They also scored their first points in the fourth quarter of the season today with six.
Six fourth quarter points. Huge.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 if you're a Titans fan deep down, you're like,

Speaker 1 so we're going to go to the playoffs and we're going to just watch Ryan Tannehill again?

Speaker 1 Give us something new.

Speaker 1 Because this is a playoff team. And then if you have, oh, Gian Carlo just shorts.
No, that's brutal.

Speaker 1 They should bring the porch in a little more. That's not fair.
In the offseason, they should, like, the Orioles extended their outfield. That should have been.
Let's get about 10 more feet in.

Speaker 2 If Jeffrey Mayer was out there, that would have been a home run.

Speaker 1 That's tough, Jake. Man.

Speaker 1 But yeah, if I were a Titans fan, I would feel very much like, hey, it would be cool to have a new toy. Yeah.
A new thing. Well, they're getting to get excited about.

Speaker 2 Well, they're getting a roof on their stadium.

Speaker 1 That's kind of cool. Oh, they are?

Speaker 2 Did you think about that? Yeah, they're getting a new dome put in there. Oh, nice.

Speaker 1 Just on top of of the.

Speaker 2 I think they're building a new stadium that is going to have a dome.

Speaker 1 Okay. So they're not putting us because

Speaker 1 that's some fucking Lori Lightfoot shit where she's trying to do that soldier field. Like, we'll just put a roof on it.
Yeah. Like, that's not how it works.

Speaker 2 No, they're getting a roof, but they're also getting another stadium, too. That is attached to the new roof that they're going to get.

Speaker 1 That's going to be. Oh, that means we get a super

Speaker 2 Vegas, baby.

Speaker 1 That's going to be awesome. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Nashville, Broadway is not ready.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God. Those two twins, they're just the twins that take pictures.
It's like two little short twins. Dudes.
They just take pictures on Broadway with people.

Speaker 2 I need to look this up because I don't know who those guys are. Yeah.
Oh, wait, are those the guys that ride in the motorcycles?

Speaker 1 Twins? No, Broadway, Nashville. They like hand out.
They hand out like...

Speaker 2 Yeah. I mean, guys love twins.

Speaker 1 Bang this is what they're called.

Speaker 1 They have an Instagram account called Bang The Bang This Twins officials.

Speaker 2 Nashville.

Speaker 1 They just stand around on Broadway taking pictures with people.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah. I've seen those guys.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 You know them.

Speaker 2 They kind of look like what I'm going to look like when I'm old.

Speaker 1 Yeah, paying this twins. We need to find you a twin.

Speaker 1 Okay, last.

Speaker 2 Wait, I had one more note on this game.

Speaker 2 Mike Vrabel, I think, I don't know if he's one or one A when it comes to the funniest coaches when it comes to challenging officials, like throwing the flag. Yep.
Because Belichick's up there.

Speaker 2 I think it's Belichick and Vrabel as one or two. Today, Vrabel did this one where

Speaker 2 he stepped in front of the ref and took the challenge flag out and just dropped it in his face. I love it.
And it's like rubbing your dog's face in it when they when they pee inside the house.

Speaker 2 He's like, you fucked up. I'm going to make you watch me drop this flag.
Belichick, when he does it, he just tries to get it out of his jacket as quickly as possible.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it's like a lit cigarette somewhere inside him. He just takes and just kind of like throws it off.
But Vrabel does it and he's got intent. Yeah.

Speaker 2 He's like, I want you to know that you fucked this up.

Speaker 1 I want him to do like the Scott Disick and shove it in one of the refs mouth. Yeah, which like here you go.

Speaker 2 If you hit a ref with a flag, is that a penalty?

Speaker 1 Because

Speaker 1 let's fuck around and find out. Because fuck around and find out.

Speaker 2 Refs can hit players with flags.

Speaker 1 Yeah, let's fuck around and find out. Was it Orlando...
No, what was his name?

Speaker 2 Yeah, the guy that got hit in the eye.

Speaker 1 Fuck. What was his name?

Speaker 1 We're dating ourselves.

Speaker 2 Was it Orlando Brown?

Speaker 1 Maybe, maybe. He blinded.

Speaker 2 He got blinded. The ref threw a flag right into his eye.

Speaker 1 It was, yeah, that was very bad. Yeah, Orlando Brown.
All right. So our memory still works.

Speaker 1 Yeah, if you're the Titans,

Speaker 1 good win, great win. But we know, like Titans fans, we know.
We're talking to you right now. Your team is good.
Your coach is great.

Speaker 1 It might be time to try something new.

Speaker 2 If you win a playoff game this year, you've got to be kind of pumped in the middle.

Speaker 1 You just know there is a feeling when you have a team that has

Speaker 1 better than most teams and most likely going to win their division, but you also know exactly where the season will end and how it will end.

Speaker 1 And just having that in the back of your head, it has to suck.

Speaker 2 You know what you got to be hoping for? You got to be hoping for a fucked-up weather game in the playoffs. Yeah.
The Titans could win a fucked-up weather game if it's like super windy.

Speaker 2 I think that's the key. I don't know if you can go into Buffalo and beat them in the snow.
That to me feels like the Bills can just like play their offense.

Speaker 1 It needs to be like a tornado.

Speaker 2 It's got to be windy as fuck. Yeah.
You got to hope for like 30 mile an hour window.

Speaker 1 An actual tornado, I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 Hopefully a tornado tornado and maybe some rain, too.

Speaker 1 Because I think Derrick Henry could run through a tornado. Although, Josh Allen definitely could run through a tornado.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that's tricky.

Speaker 1 There's no way a tornado could tackle Josh Allen.

Speaker 2 No, I don't think you're beating the Bills. But Josh Allen, I think, is light enough where he might get picked up by the tornado.
Derrick Henry is heavier.

Speaker 2 Have you ever seen the movie Twister where the tornado, R.I.P. Bill Paxton, the tornado fucks up all the lightweight?

Speaker 1 When did he die, by the way?

Speaker 2 Like three years ago, I think. Fuck.

Speaker 1 I saw a tweet the other day and I was like, damn, he's dead. Yeah, so he missed that one.
That's right, that's on the hand up. That's on me.
Okay, next game.

Speaker 1 Let's talk about a team that actually does have a future.

Speaker 1 The Bengals, 35, Falcons, 17. The Bengals are back.

Speaker 1 And we kind of felt like this was happening in the second half against the Saints. Now it confirmed against the Falcons, they are back.

Speaker 1 They are back doing the Bengals stuff where you cannot guard all their weapons.

Speaker 1 Joe Burrow, back shoulder to Jamar Chase, is literally an unguardable play.

Speaker 1 Running out of shotgun, just flinging it around. Their defense making stops in the second half.
The Bengals are all the way back.

Speaker 1 They're all the way back.

Speaker 2 They're out of shotgun basically the entire day today.

Speaker 1 That's what they should always do.

Speaker 2 And Burrow, if you don't blitz him and he catches the ball in shotgun and he's got all the time in the world, he is going to throw touchdowns.

Speaker 2 He's going to throw yards on you. In the first half, he had 345 yards and three touchdowns.
It's insane. He was on pace to break the single game.

Speaker 2 But I feel like that happens a lot now where teams get out to a huge lead and throw the ball a shitload in the first half. And then you'll never catch Norman Van Brockland.
He's up in heaven.

Speaker 2 Yes, Joshua.

Speaker 1 Is he dead?

Speaker 2 He's probably dead.

Speaker 1 He's up in heaven.

Speaker 2 He's laughing at you when you have 345 yards in the first half. He's like,

Speaker 2 you're not getting close to my record. So today,

Speaker 2 I'm more confused about what happened with the Falcons because we know that the Bengals offense can do this.

Speaker 2 If Joe Burrow has time, he will pick you apart and he will find his weapons downfield. The Falcons offense,

Speaker 2 how do you lose by 18 points and you only attempt 13 passes?

Speaker 1 Because that's what they do.

Speaker 1 They're not built to throw. At all.

Speaker 2 So fun little stat here to qualify for passing yards.

Speaker 2 Like if you're doing like a passing yards per completion stat, you have to attempt at least 14 passes over the course of the game.

Speaker 2 The Falcons didn't even attempt enough passes to qualify for passing stats.

Speaker 1 And they lost by 18 points.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, that was a game that they lost the game in the first quarter because the Bengals just were throwing it down the field and they got such a lead that it's like the Falcons can't, they're not built to do this.

Speaker 1 They have to muck it up and play these like ugly games. It's actually, the Falcons are like

Speaker 1 a Giants light. You know what I mean? Like the Giants,

Speaker 1 if a team comes out and goes up 21-0 on the Giants, similar to what the the Bengals did, like the Giants aren't really built to do that, although they did come back on the Packers.

Speaker 1 But yeah, the Falcons were screwed right away.

Speaker 1 And the Bengals, we mentioned on Friday's show, but if you're looking for free money, just take the Bengals' second half no matter what, because they do not give up points in the second half.

Speaker 1 They give up no points in the second half today. That is now, we're now seven weeks into the season, seven games, and they have given up a total of 27 points in the second half.

Speaker 1 All field goals have not given up a touchdown in the second half. That means that they are giving up an average of less than two points a quarter in the second half.
That's pretty good. That's crazy.

Speaker 1 The defensive adjustments they make is nuts.

Speaker 2 It's pretty good. I think it's safe to say the Bengals are officially a well-coached team.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and

Speaker 1 it's now, I now feel

Speaker 1 confident because we said, but you know, going into this season, if you had to pick one team, it's like, hey, was that an illusion last year?

Speaker 1 Or like, is this something that they're going to build on?

Speaker 2 We had the bengals i we don't doubt joe burrow ever but like we had the bengals as a franchise in that group of like yeah sustained success for the bengals might be tough and it did look that way for the first couple of uh games and now it's like nope they're back this is exactly where they need to be it's just going to take a while to get the bengals stench off you yeah right and so you are the bangles of course we're going to doubt a little bit that you can put together back-to-back winning seasons because you've never been able to do that like ever or at least in the last 30 years uh but yeah it's not it's not a a fluke their coaching staff is good and it's funny because i think a lot of bengals fans kind of hate their coaching staff well they hate them when they don't let them just when they don't let joe burrow just be joe burrow and throw it down the field right but i think we the body of evidence is big enough now on zach taylor where you can say he's a very good coach like as long as he doesn't he might he might fuck up occasionally game to game but you're you're in good hands with zach taylor in the long term i think he's a good coach that sometimes uh has dumb coach thoughts where he's like, hey, let's just run the ball and not throw it to these incredible weapons we have.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Let Joe Burrow be in shotgun.

Speaker 2 Of course. So he's going to make a few full planes.

Speaker 1 But for like full game plans. For a full game plan.

Speaker 2 I think it's safe to say he's a pretty good coach.

Speaker 2 It's funny, like bringing up the Falcons, the way that they're built, if they fall behind, I do think that Arthur Smith is like, well, we're not going to beat you if I let Marcus Mariota throw the ball 30 times.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 we're just going to get practice reps in for the rest of this game, and we're going to hope that what we learned today carries over to next week, where we're probably going to kick the shit out of the Panthers.

Speaker 2 Right. So he treated the second half of this game a little bit like it was prepped for, and they should win like four out of their next five games.

Speaker 2 I think the Falcons are going to make the playoffs.

Speaker 1 Ooh.

Speaker 2 That's my take. How? I think they might make the playoffs,

Speaker 1 so the Bucs won't then.

Speaker 2 The Bucs.

Speaker 2 I just looked at the schedule for the Falcons. I might be walking back my Bucs take.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Okay, yeah. I mean, the Falcons do have the Bears and the Commanders coming.

Speaker 2 Yeah, they get the Panthers, the Chargers at home.

Speaker 2 They get the Panthers again, the Bears, the Commanders, the Steelers at home.

Speaker 1 All right, so your issue, though, is going to be

Speaker 1 feels like there's going to be

Speaker 1 three teams out of the NFC East. So

Speaker 1 that's a very small margin. You're basically, if you say the Falcons are making making the playoffs, that means.

Speaker 2 I'm trying to do the Giants-Jaguars bet all over again right now with the stats.

Speaker 1 So if the Falcons are making the playoffs, and I like to take, like, whatever, let's root for Arthur Smith. But you're essentially, it's a bet against, you're saying the Packers, the Bucs,

Speaker 1 the Rams, and the 49ers, only one of those teams can really make the playoffs.

Speaker 2 Packers, the Bucs, the Rams, 49ers.

Speaker 1 Maybe two. Packers are out.
Okay.

Speaker 1 And you're going to kick out the Rams and the 49ers?

Speaker 2 I'm going to say maybe the 49ers will make it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because you can't have.

Speaker 1 It would be tough. If you believe in the NFC beast, it would be tough for the Falcons to make the play.
I just say, hey, let's fucking. Let's make a bet on it.
Let's bet on it.

Speaker 2 It's probably crazy odds. I think that the Cowboys

Speaker 2 are going to learn their lesson that they should have stuck with Cooper Rush. And so they're going to follow.

Speaker 1 Cowboys defense travels.

Speaker 1 Their Cowboys are going to.

Speaker 1 I actually bet a guy, I think a Cowboys fan tweeted me. He was like, as soon as Dak got hurt, he's like,

Speaker 1 if the Cowboys have a better record than the Bears when they play week eight, you owe me 100 push-ups.

Speaker 2 So I have to do 100 push-ups this week. Oh, that sucks.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Thoughts and prayers. So here's what I think is going to happen with the Falcons.

Speaker 1 Once or just throughout the week? I think just throughout the week.

Speaker 2 I can't do all of it.

Speaker 2 I didn't really

Speaker 2 pull this take out of thin air.

Speaker 2 I've been circling the Falcons for a little bit, and I was just going to throw out the result of this game no matter what happened because I thought the Bengals were going to win.

Speaker 2 But their schedule is so easy in the next five games. And I think at some point they're going to go to Desmond Ritter.

Speaker 2 And he might be able to, if he could just pass the ball, I don't know, for 200 yards a game, 220 yards a game, then this team could be, they could unlock the next level.

Speaker 1 So the problem with the Falcons making the playoffs is I love the take and I love the idea because I do like what Arthur Smith is doing. But it's like...

Speaker 1 In a vacuum, if the Falcons just existed on their own and you're like, they just need to get to nine wins and they'll make the playoffs, I think they can get to nine wins.

Speaker 1 But it's like all those other teams sucking would be pretty tough.

Speaker 1 You're betting against a lot of really

Speaker 1 teams that are more talented than them sucking for the rest of the year.

Speaker 2 I'm thinking that

Speaker 2 the most likely possibility for the Falcons to make the playoffs would be if the Buccaneers imploded entirely.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes. And they left Khan C.
South. Yeah, that could be.
That could absolutely have been. So if Tom Brady retired.

Speaker 2 Right. So I've got two real options here.
One is that the Buccaneers implode entirely underneath their own weight. The second is that,

Speaker 2 what, three out of those four teams that you mentioned?

Speaker 1 Yeah, the Packers, the 49ers,

Speaker 1 the Packers, the 49ers, and the Bucs all have to

Speaker 2 face it. So it's some combination of those.
I think they could do it. That's all I'm saying.
I think if I'm a Falcons fan, I would actually. It's the opposite of what the Titans are feeling.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Where the Titans, they know that they're going to make the playoffs and probably not do that much once they get there.

Speaker 2 If the Falcons make the playoffs at all this year, you are fucking pumped going into next year.

Speaker 2 Because you realize that Arthur Smith is a good coach if they're able to do that.

Speaker 1 Yes. Last thing on this game,

Speaker 1 I have to just say it because I get insults that, oh, these Yankee fans look like they're about to cry. It's Josh Donaldson.
Oh, God.

Speaker 1 What happened with Josh Donaldson?

Speaker 7 The fans are letting him hear.

Speaker 1 I like all these check-ins that we get for this game. This is actually very fun.
And it looks like a lot of empty seats.

Speaker 2 You can't strike out looking.

Speaker 1 Looks like a lot of empty seats right now. People left? I don't think so.
Oh, that's a lot of empty seats. That's a lot of seats.
That's a lot of spring training. That's a lot of empty seats.

Speaker 1 That's Rudy Giuliani's seamless seat.

Speaker 1 There's more empty seats than full ones. There's a lot of empty seats right now.
Billy, you agree.

Speaker 1 We're just seeing it with our eyes. There's a lot of empty seats for a playoff.

Speaker 8 The only fan behind the dugout behind home plate that's still there is Ted Cruz.

Speaker 2 Yeah, Ted Cruz.

Speaker 8 Big baseball guy, Ted Cruz.

Speaker 1 Seam Head.

Speaker 1 So I get insult statted left and right. So I just need to throw this out there.
Jamar Chase and Tyler Boyd, they both had 100 yards and a touchdown in the first half.

Speaker 1 The last time two teammates did that was 2015, Jeremy Lankford and Zach Miller for the Bears. Wow.
Pretty cool. That is elite company.
Zach Miller had like an 87-yard touchdown pass from Cuddy.

Speaker 1 So I just, it's rare that I get a stat that goes my way for one.

Speaker 2 No, that's very nice.

Speaker 2 You have to take advantage of those moments for sure. Yes.

Speaker 2 I'll just say that if we're re-ranking like we did last year, AFC North quarterbacks, I would say number one is Joe Burrow after he appears on part of my take. Yes.
That's number one.

Speaker 1 And he has to appear again for a full interview for us to keep him at one.

Speaker 2 Yes. Number two is backup Mitch Trubisky.
Okay. When he comes in off the bench.

Speaker 1 Number two, and then number three.

Speaker 1 First half Lamar. Lamar.
First half Lamar. And number four, second half, Kenny Pickett.
Yeah, second half Kenny Pickett. A lot of picks.

Speaker 1 He does have like

Speaker 2 six or seven picks now. Then Jacoby Brissette until until the last minute of most games and then deshaun watson um i'd say

Speaker 1 castrated deshaun watson is sixth place maybe with a yeah horny deshaun seventh last place put him on some uh pro was it prozac get his boner down yeah he won't he he'll just be like yeah kind of kind of just kind of just there yeah there right and then very last place behind that is joe burrow when he goes on colin coward yes yes i'd agree with those um all right let's keep moving uh Before we do that, PT, you got another sponsor.

Speaker 1 What's up, guys? It's Big Cat here, making my Irish entrance with proper number 12 Irish whiskey. How do you make an Irish entrance, you ask?

Speaker 1 It starts with a shot of proper number 12 Irish whiskey because real friends don't let friends Irish exit a party without a story to tell.

Speaker 1 Original proper number 12 is rich in a smooth blend of golden grain and single malt. Age four years in bourbon barrels.
Mix it up with some ginger ale for a classic and refreshing proper ginger.

Speaker 1 In the mood for something smooth but a little sweeter, try proper Irish apple, a delicious blend of proper's award-winning Irish whiskey with crisp, fresh notes of apple.

Speaker 1 So get out there and make your Irish entrance. Anything else just wouldn't be proper.

Speaker 1 Okay, next up, Cowboys Lions.

Speaker 1 Oh, man. Same old Lions.
Cowboys win 24-6. It was a 10-6 game.
The Lions almost scored a touchdown down on the one-inch line.

Speaker 1 Very next play, fumble by Jamal Williams on the goal line. Then the Cowboys, you know, game was over.

Speaker 2 The game was over. Yeah.

Speaker 1 The game was over.

Speaker 2 If you can't catch, you play cornerback, right? And if you can't really catch at all a single little bit, then you play cornerback on the Lions.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 I think they dropped two pick sixes today. It was bad.

Speaker 1 It was really bad.

Speaker 1 It just felt like the Lions were in that game and their defense, like that was the frustrating part for Lions fans.

Speaker 1 Their defense actually played a good game for once and they held on for a while and then when you can't score at all, they just kind of, it all kind of fell apart.

Speaker 1 They had, I think I had five second half turnovers, the Lions did. So it just, it was like they were in it.
They were in it. They were in it.
6-3 at half, I think. And then all of a sudden, it just...

Speaker 1 Once the wheels came off, they just came off in a hilariously bad fashion, and the whole train blew up.

Speaker 2 I think that

Speaker 2 their offense had as many tackles as their starting middle linebacker did. And that's not a good thing.
Rodrigo.

Speaker 2 Yeah, Rodrigo. I think he had four tackles.
And then between Jared,

Speaker 2 Penay Sewell, and a couple other guys, I think Tim Kennedy got in on the action.

Speaker 2 I think they dog. Yeah, dog, absolute dog.

Speaker 2 Four tackles apiece when you compare those two.

Speaker 2 Jack Fox stat. Jack Fox, their punter, threw a dime, and he got a new contract.
He's now the highest-paid punter in the NFL. So So shout out to Jack Fox.

Speaker 1 Okay, that's huge.

Speaker 2 He's an AWL.

Speaker 1 That's huge. That is, that's, love Jack Fox.

Speaker 2 Their punter is really good. Yes.

Speaker 2 If you're the Detroit Lions, you've got a lot of ups and downs, some highs and lows, mostly lows. You've got some expectations.

Speaker 2 And the one person on the team that always lives up to the expectation is Jack Fox. Yes.
So salute to you.

Speaker 1 And I don't know. I was reading...

Speaker 1 You know, we haven't seen the Lions for two weeks because they were obviously on a buy.

Speaker 1 And we were talking about is Dan Campbell going to be in trouble? I was reading some more about it.

Speaker 1 It feels like maybe not, that they're very committed to him, they like him, but he's now 0-11 on the road with the Lions. Uh, coming off a bye, it felt like the offense was, I mean, Amon Ross St.

Speaker 1 Brown got hurt, so that should, that is your best offensive player.

Speaker 1 He got hurt in the first quarter, I think, with a concussion, but they are like the one time their defense held, it was it held for three quarters, and then you just can't find a lead in that, and that bang-bang, down at the one, fumble next play was just that.

Speaker 1 Was such a same old lions thing that it just depressed me. It's tough.

Speaker 2 So they were missing St. Brown.
They're missing Chark, who's been out for a couple weeks now, and they were missing Swift. Yeah.
Also, didn't play today. So they're all.

Speaker 1 So maybe, yeah.

Speaker 2 Their offense just kind of wasn't there at all. And yeah, Dan Campbell, he needs to figure out something new to do because I think he's going to end up killing himself.

Speaker 2 Not like suicidal or anything like that. I'm saying through his own emotions.
Yeah, he's going to give himself a stroke.

Speaker 1 He's going to try to

Speaker 1 just like

Speaker 1 will his team through motivation to win a game. And it's like, you got to do something else.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's something else because

Speaker 1 it's a bummer. And I want the Lions, like, even though they're in the Bears division, like the Lions being good, the people of Detroit deserve it.

Speaker 1 And it felt like watching them the first few weeks, at least they were fun. And now the fun is gone.
And it's like, you lose whatever it was, 29-0 to the Patriots, and then lose 24-6 to the Cowboys.

Speaker 1 Also, from our guy, Stad Hole, only three of the 64 teams that started one in five have given up more points than the Lions.

Speaker 2 Yeah, no, their defense is

Speaker 1 historically. And it held.
That's the craziest part. It held.
Like, Dak comes back. He looked okay.

Speaker 1 I actually, the craziest thing that I'm sure they'll go away from it because it feels like every time Dak is out there, they're like, hey, let's just throw it a bunch.

Speaker 1 When it's like the Cowboys, the reason why Cooper Rush was winning football games is they were playing to their strength of Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard and then running play action off of it.

Speaker 1 And if you do that with Dak, you could have like a really, really good team. And they did it today, and they ran the ball really effectively today.

Speaker 1 And I just, I don't know. I'm just bummed about the Lions.
I thought they were going to be frisky and fun, and they're not. Yeah, they're sad.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 you can't use tears after every single game. And I feel like that's...
Dan Campbell's been crying a lot this season. And at some point, you tune out the tears.

Speaker 2 Dan Campbell will be first team all NFL at getting out of speeding tickets. Yes.
But in terms of motivating your team to come back in the second half when you're down, I don't...

Speaker 2 He needs to hire somebody like Nathaniel Hackett, hired a guy to give him decision-making advice. Dan Campbell just needs to hire a guy who's a halftime specialist.
Yes.

Speaker 2 Because I feel like Dan Campbell, he will get you ready to play in a football game. He will get you ready to run through a brick wall for him and you want to play and you you want to win for him.

Speaker 2 But he's not the smart.

Speaker 2 How do I say this diplomatically? He's kind of a meathead.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 And you need someone who's kind of a nerd to counterbalance that if you're going to make a halftime adjustment.

Speaker 2 So if you're getting out-coached, if you're getting out-nerded by Mike McCarthy at halftime, that's an issue that you might want to address.

Speaker 2 So just get some sort of a nerd to help you out and figure out what's going wrong in the first half and what particular things you need to change to execute on in the second half instead of just going into the speech and being like, we need to play harder.

Speaker 1 Dan Campbell and Mike McDaniels together.

Speaker 2 That'd be perfect. Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 A great buddy cop movie. Super Bowl, yes.

Speaker 1 That would be incredible to see the two of them walking out.

Speaker 1 Has there ever been a team?

Speaker 2 Co-head coaches?

Speaker 1 Two-head coaches?

Speaker 2 No, I think that that would be the best of both worlds.

Speaker 1 It really would. It really would.

Speaker 1 People will say that, I mean, I guess like Buddy Ryan and Mike Dicka kind of did that, although Mike Dicka would disagree. But that was.
Like, Pellichek and Parcels. Yeah, like, why not?

Speaker 1 Just two head coaches. It worked out pretty well.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Dan Campbell also got

Speaker 1 the embarrassment of the Cowboys pregame program. They named him, they said Lions first-year head coach, and then they used a picture of the D-line coach, Todd Wash, instead of Dan Campbell.

Speaker 2 Dan Campbell used to play on the Cowboys. That's fucked up.

Speaker 1 Very fucked up. Yeah.
Very fucked up. And then also, there was a report that Dak specifically picked the Lions to come back from his injury, which I don't even understand that.

Speaker 1 Like, wouldn't he just come back when he's ready to get back to the back?

Speaker 1 But he specifically picked the Lions.

Speaker 1 So it's bad.

Speaker 1 It's bad. And the Cowboys are good.
Like, the Cowboys are a good team. I think we've established that.
Like, their defense is very, very good. And the Trayvon Diggs now has, which

Speaker 1 it's kind of,

Speaker 1 it's been washed away a little bit. Like, you know, the talk about Trayvon Diggs being this all-world corner when he does take a lot of chances, but he's now played 35 games in the NFL.

Speaker 1 He has 17 intercepts. It's pretty crazy.

Speaker 2 It's crazy. He takes a shitload of chances, but really good defenses usually have one of those guys that will do something.

Speaker 2 And then, if you have good enough talent around him, you can kind of make up for some of that. Also, it helps when you have Micah Parsons rushing the quarterbacks.
Yes.

Speaker 2 Because then you can and you should take those chances because you know he's got to get rid of the ball as soon as possible.

Speaker 1 Down to three outs, the Yankees boys. They're kind of trying to

Speaker 1 muster up some courage. I'm also

Speaker 1 one swing right now. One swing.
One swing. There you go.
Aaron Aaron is coming up.

Speaker 1 Oh, he's going to go.

Speaker 2 Wait, Aaron Judge is going to hit third this inning? Yeah, he's going to strike out. And he's going to strike out to end the entire area.

Speaker 7 He's going to be the judge back-to-back season.

Speaker 1 Oh my God. Yeah.
Oh, okay. Jake.

Speaker 2 Jake, I can't wait for Aaron Judge to strike out to end the Yankees.

Speaker 1 This is going to be great. This

Speaker 1 is going to be great.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Listen, I don't hate Yankees.
I kind of do hate Yankees fans in a certain way.

Speaker 1 It's fun to hate.

Speaker 2 It's fun to watch Yankees fight.

Speaker 1 There's way less to like. There's truly nothing to like.

Speaker 1 They're not even lovable losers. There's nothing endearing.
They're cocky about championships they won in like 1911.

Speaker 1 I agree with that. Yeah.
But like.

Speaker 1 Do you see Aaron Boone was

Speaker 7 showing 2004

Speaker 1 any FaceTime big poppy?

Speaker 2 That's tough.

Speaker 1 So he got weird.

Speaker 1 I thought that was satire. He got the Yankee.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 It read like satire.

Speaker 1 Hank is the ex-Christman. I'll pull up the tweet.

Speaker 7 No, it's from Brian Hoke, who covers the team for MLB.

Speaker 1 He got the Yankees. I had to to check multiple sources.

Speaker 2 He got the Yankees

Speaker 2 to win a playoff game by showing them videotapes of Yankees losing

Speaker 1 the AC. Yeah,

Speaker 1 and FaceTiming Big Poppy.

Speaker 2 That's incredible.

Speaker 2 Why not just show his home run?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 He is the guy.

Speaker 7 Game seven. You have to game seven first.

Speaker 1 I know.

Speaker 2 He is the guy that has the ultimate playoff success video. Be like, look what I did.
Just be me.

Speaker 1 Here's a spin zone for you.

Speaker 1 I'm a master at spin zones.

Speaker 1 The joy that we're having at your expense right now, both you and Billy, and the joy that a lot of people are having at your expense.

Speaker 1 The Yankees are relevant.

Speaker 1 No one's doing these jokes about the Padres. Losing in the LCS.
Right. No one cares about the Padres losing the NLCS.
When the Yankees lose,

Speaker 1 people clown.

Speaker 1 And that means you mean something.

Speaker 1 The Yankees. Aaron Brood said that Chad Boland, Boling, the Yankees' mental skills coach,

Speaker 1 which fire that person, was sending around highlight videos of the 2004 Red Sox this morning. Eduardo Perez also FaceTimed David Ortiz into Boone's office pregame.
Oh, man.

Speaker 1 Did you just laugh?

Speaker 2 Here, watch this clip of the guys wearing your uniforms have the biggest mental meltdown in the history of baseball.

Speaker 1 Thanks to me. Here's how I did it.
Here you go.

Speaker 1 Good luck. Hey, they're not dead yet.
All right, they're not there yet. We'll update everyone.

Speaker 2 Aaron Judge is about to get up there and probably not hit a home run. Yeah.

Speaker 1 The Cowboys are very good, and I'm very scared for Justin Fields' life next week.

Speaker 2 I like the new trend that I'm seeing, which is every week somebody asked Jerry Jones a question about

Speaker 2 essentially saying, do you think you'll get to see another Super Bowl before you die? Right. And trying to put it diplomatically.

Speaker 2 And they're like, Jerry, do you think that, you know, you said that you'd like to get one more Super Bowl here. You think that with this team, you think they're going to be able to get you that?

Speaker 2 And it's just Jerry constantly reckoning with his own mortality and trying to figure out whether or not the team that he personally has assembled will give him joy before he actually dies.

Speaker 1 Right, right. It's

Speaker 1 quite something. It is.

Speaker 1 It's, yeah.

Speaker 1 The Cowboys are good, but

Speaker 1 I don't think they're Super Bowl good, but they're good. They're good.
They're a good team. Yep.
And they play great defense. All right, next up, Billy, you're ready.
Jets, 16. Broncos, 9.

Speaker 1 Turns out, Brett Rippon can run Russell Wilson's offense just as poorly.

Speaker 2 Well, he passed the ball across the middle a few more times.

Speaker 1 Yes, that's true. But it was like, oh, that's the same exact offense.
It still stinks. And the Jets are now 5-2.

Speaker 1 And you can't apologize for being 5-2. They are 5-2.

Speaker 1 They've gotten to play a couple backups, but who the fuck cares? They're 5-2.

Speaker 8 16 points. It may have been a low-scoring game, but 16 points is the most amount of points allowed by the Denver Broncos defense at home this season.

Speaker 1 How many home games have they had?

Speaker 8 I think it's not too many.

Speaker 1 Do you have two others, too? I think it's like Texans.

Speaker 1 So they're the 49ers. I know they play.
Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 2 So, yeah.

Speaker 8 But honestly, Zach Wilson, a lot of people are talking about his stat line.

Speaker 2 We played one of the best. Oh, in the Colts.

Speaker 1 In the Colts.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I was going to say that Thursday night game in the Colts.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, they've played fourth. That's, yeah.

Speaker 8 Yeah, played one of the best defenses in the NFL and zero turnovers, ran the team. It wasn't the time for him to

Speaker 8 really put up some serious numbers. He did what he had to do.
The defense played amazing.

Speaker 8 Get lost in the sauce.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Sauce Gardner's incredible. You should, Billy, what you need to do, spin zone, is just saying Zach Wilson is efficient because he's thrown for 231 yards in the last two weeks combined.

Speaker 1 Two wins, though.

Speaker 2 That's efficient. He takes Tua did it.
He's the only defense gives him, right?

Speaker 1 Another that whole sports stat. Tua was the last one to do it for less yards.
In 2020, he won won two games in a row with 206 yards. And then if you go all the way back, this is a fun one to look up.

Speaker 1 Sean King in 2000 won back-to-back games for the Bucs with 171 yards combined in two games.

Speaker 1 That's pretty efficient. That's pretty efficient.
So, yeah, the Broncos are a really fucking good defense, and it's completely wasted by a garbage, garbage offense.

Speaker 1 The Broncos have given up in seven games, seven total touchdowns. So seven touchdowns in seven games, and they are two and five.

Speaker 2 What I liked about this game, it was filled with quarterbacks figuring out new ways to throw the ball downfield without committing intentional grounding penalties. Yeah.

Speaker 2 So Zach Wilson does this a lot when he gets close to the sidelines. Dude.

Speaker 2 He'll figure out a way to just get that ball out at the last second. Brett Rippen's pass that he had where he overthrew the safeties by probably 30 yards so that he wouldn't get intentional grounding.

Speaker 2 Because, like, refs, they're not used to seeing that. If you're grounding the ball intentionally, they're looking for you to throw the ball like 15 yards into the dirt where nobody is.

Speaker 2 Brett Rippon just airmailed this thing out of the back of the end zone.

Speaker 1 Sean Brady. Yeah, so

Speaker 1 I put it down as a note.

Speaker 1 We always talk about the physical comedy of quarterbacks. We need someone.
Philip Rivers was the king of it. Jameis Winston was his heir apparent.

Speaker 1 I think Zach Wilson's the future.

Speaker 1 When he gets in trouble, he spins and does such so many weird things. And he's like, he will be

Speaker 1 50, he'll run 15 yards back, then to the sideline, then still try to throw the ball out of bounds at the last second.

Speaker 2 And I love it. He'll throw it behind his back almost to try to get it downfield.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And that was a fumble. That was crazy.
The Broncos did get a little screwed. By the way, Aaron Judge is up.
He's batting 143 in the playoffs.

Speaker 1 And he's up with two outs.

Speaker 2 You know, let's talk about the Jets.

Speaker 1 No, no, this is pretty important.

Speaker 2 In terms of the sports world out there, Billy, hang on. We'll get back to the Jets in a second.
Right now, I'm going to do. Jake, can you do some play-by-play?

Speaker 1 Yeah, just some play-by-play.

Speaker 2 Here we go. This will be good.

Speaker 1 This is good practice for you. Yeah, come on.

Speaker 2 Jake doesn't really do baseball that much.

Speaker 1 Set the stage.

Speaker 7 Oh, one count to Judge with the season on the line. Takes

Speaker 1 strike, strike down the middle.

Speaker 7 And the Yankees are down to their final strike.

Speaker 2 That's the clean home run champion, Aaron Judge.

Speaker 1 Right?

Speaker 7 Yeah, 62. Okay, okay.

Speaker 1 Never been done before by a clean player. Again, I would love to see Sammy Sosa's positive test.
Just show it to me, and then we can agree.

Speaker 1 Come on.

Speaker 1 Probably

Speaker 1 please.

Speaker 1 He's going to waste his pitch. Judge

Speaker 7 going to all the fans on their feet and the O-2

Speaker 7 outside one and two.

Speaker 1 I'll do the color. So, Jake, Aaron Judge really sucks in the postseason.
You think he's earned his pinstripes?

Speaker 7 He had a great regular season, but some are saying postseason didn't really translate that much.

Speaker 1 This is his last game as a Yankee? Oh, that's a good point. That's the third guy in the booth.

Speaker 1 It will be. Great point.

Speaker 7 The 1-2.

Speaker 1 Ground ball to the pitcher.

Speaker 7 Presley flips it the first. And

Speaker 1 the Houston Astros win the American League Championship.

Speaker 2 Jake, I'm down here on the field right now, and the Astros are going absolutely nuts. Ted Cruz is just celebrating.
He's popping some champagne. Dusty Baker is nodding.

Speaker 2 He's nodding his head rather quickly. This is a happy team.
Back to you, Jake.

Speaker 7 Houston advances to the World Series for the first time since 2019.

Speaker 7 For the third time since 2017.

Speaker 2 Jake, I'm down on the field.

Speaker 2 What happened to 2019 World Series, Jake?

Speaker 7 The Washington Nationals won it.

Speaker 1 Ah,

Speaker 1 that's wild. Jake, quick question.

Speaker 1 Do you think, you know, watching this game, watching this series, it felt like the Astros owned this series, but you got to think if the roof was closed in game two, things would be going different right now.

Speaker 7 Yeah, some are saying that, but I believe it's the MLB's call.

Speaker 1 I think they should play game five because the exit velocity on Alex Bregman's home run was nowhere near the exit velocity on

Speaker 1 John Carlos Stanton's out.

Speaker 1 Sure.

Speaker 2 Jake, do you think it was a good idea to show them the highlight? You could say that it worked perfectly. They got the exact result that they visualized by watching the Yankees lose in the playoffs.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Thanks, Jake.

Speaker 8 Congratulations to Houston.

Speaker 1 Now my nightmare of the Bears being truly standalone. Yeah.
What should I do the bears? You're so close to another sports Equinox and just couldn't do it.

Speaker 1 Should I do a PS5 tweet tomorrow when things go bad, or should I just do the thing where

Speaker 1 Taylor Lorenz always does, where she closes the replies? Just lock your account.

Speaker 1 Should I close the replies to all my tweets halfway through the first quarter when things start going bad? I think that might be my move.

Speaker 2 I like doing that when I tweet about Miley Cyrus. Yeah.
And then nobody can bonk bonk me.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think I'm going to do that. I think I'm going to do that tomorrow.
I'm going to give that a shot. Just being like, no one can reply to me and just wallow in my own.

Speaker 2 They can still quote tweet you, though.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 2 Just heads up. So then it looks pretty bad.
Okay, all right. So I'll just...
Because it's going to be like one retweet, 600 quotes.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'll just do the PS5s. All right.

Speaker 1 Jets. Back to the Jets.
The Broncos defense is awesome. The Jets are 5-2.

Speaker 8 Brees Hall got hurt. I think it's ACL.
Yeah. But what that means is we got Michael Carter, who was sharing reps with Brees Hall.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but that's going to be a lot more carried. Brees Hall is is really funny.

Speaker 8 I know, but I also think Michael Carter is pretty good. He just was getting overshadowed by Brees Hall.

Speaker 1 So, okay.

Speaker 2 Braxton Barrios looked pretty good out there.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 I'd say he looked like relatively dope today.

Speaker 1 Also, Russell Wilson, somehow the camera found him during warm-ups. He was warming up, probably taking reps from Brett Rippin.

Speaker 2 It was next-level mental reps he was doing.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so and he had those cool shades on.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Can I go LeBron Reply Guy on the Jets? Yeah. I don't mean to.
I feel like I'm punching down on the Jets, but

Speaker 2 I guess what's that, Billy? What was that lip smack? You just gave me a lip smack.

Speaker 1 I don't know. What?

Speaker 1 Here's what we were talking about earlier. I just want to

Speaker 2 say it with your chest, Billy.

Speaker 1 I want to say a conversation that PFT and I were having earlier that I just,

Speaker 1 the Jets are 5-2. They're a good team.
They have a lot of good young talent. What I don't understand, and maybe this is just the psyche of different fan bases.

Speaker 1 When the Bears are good, I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop. The Jets are good or 5-2, and it feels like Jets fans fans are like, we're the best team in the world.
Nothing's going to go bad.

Speaker 1 Is that fair? I feel like.

Speaker 1 Brees Hall towards ACL, that's a bummer. Right.
Michael Carter, Justice.

Speaker 8 There's been, like, if you've went through the butt fumble, like, that is the worst collapse and probably like a psychological collapse in any team ever since then.

Speaker 1 It was.

Speaker 1 What about the Yankees? Yeah, good point.

Speaker 2 What about the Yankees in 2004?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 8 But, like, since then, it can never get that bad. Yeah.

Speaker 8 So, really, like, we've been through something worse.

Speaker 1 That was rock bottom. I'm never going to put it in.
Yeah. This is.

Speaker 2 To me, that would, if I experienced something like that, I would always go back to thinking that it was going to happen again.

Speaker 1 Correct. Like, I like right.
Whenever the Bears are good, I'm like, they're not going to be good for an extended period of time.

Speaker 1 This is just, we're good right now, but we know, I know that like tomorrow we'll probably be bad again.

Speaker 8 You know what it is? It's the new uniforms. I was actually thinking about this.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 8 New uniforms, new quarterback, new head coach. Everything's new.
There's nothing.

Speaker 1 Listen, if you have the confidence, I'm not telling you not to. I just, whenever, I just always am waiting for the bad thing to happen.
And it feels like, I guess, just enjoy the ride.

Speaker 1 Five and two is like, they are a good team. Bill, you got the new head coach.
You got the new quarterback, new uniforms. You're five and two, almost at the top of the division.

Speaker 1 Home game against the Patriots next week. Guess the line.
Ooh, who swindles it anyway?

Speaker 8 I think they're probably favored by seven.

Speaker 1 Wait, what?

Speaker 1 The Patriots are favored by seven? No, the Patriots are favored favored by seven.

Speaker 2 In New York?

Speaker 1 Oh, that makes sense. I'm going to say three.
I'll take the Jets.

Speaker 2 I think the Jets are favored by.

Speaker 1 Is the line out?

Speaker 2 Two and a half points.

Speaker 8 Oh, we're favored by two points.

Speaker 1 I'm guessing two and a half.

Speaker 8 I think that's probably the first time.

Speaker 1 I'm going to say a pickup.

Speaker 2 Hank, what's the line?

Speaker 1 Pats minus one. Oh,

Speaker 1 so pick up. Yeah.
Okay.

Speaker 8 I knew the pats were going to be favored. I'm not that good at predicting lines, but I knew the pats would be favored.

Speaker 2 So what I alluded to was going LeBron reply guy on the Jets. And if you wanted to, I'm not saying this, but I'm saying watch out in the Jets' replies on Twitter because there's probably somebody.

Speaker 2 The haters. The haters, not me, again, the haters online would say that you beat Brett Ripp, Skylar Thompson, Jacoby Brissette in the last second of a game,

Speaker 2 Kenny Pickett off the bench, and a washed-up Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 1 That's what they would say.

Speaker 2 And then, yeah, and then you lost to the only real starting quarterbacks that you played against.

Speaker 1 Can I tell you what you could say to reply to that? Yeah, what do I say? Well, we had Joe Flacco. Yeah.
That was Joe Flacco. This is Zach Wilson.
That's how you have to. We didn't have our starter.

Speaker 1 That's what you got to say. Back to him.

Speaker 2 I'm just saying, watch out for the reply, guys.

Speaker 8 You are on your burner account?

Speaker 1 I'm not on anything.

Speaker 2 I'm just saying that hypothetically, somebody could point out to the Jets' accounts the list of quarterbacks that they've beaten.

Speaker 1 And also, I mean, the Jets do have a bunch of young talents, so I guess that would be where the confidence is a little different. Like, Sauce Gardner is an absolute stud.

Speaker 1 Brett Rien, I love when a backup comes in and they're like, yeah, fuck it. I can do this.
He threw it at Sauce Gardner nine times today. It was three completed catches for eight yards.

Speaker 1 Like, that's it. He just is like, nah, I'm going to keep trying, Sauce Gardner.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I don't know Brett Rippen's story, but I seem to recall when they signed him. It was like almost a favor that John Elwy was doing to Brett Rippen's uncle because they're like buds.
Yeah.

Speaker 8 Do you think Russell Wilson would have done better? No.

Speaker 1 I think Russell Wilson's. I think

Speaker 1 this is beating Russell Wilson.

Speaker 1 Their offense sucks no matter what. Yes.
Like it looked exactly. Brett Rippon looked exactly the same as Russell Wilson in that offense.

Speaker 2 Listen, the Jets are 5-2, and that's awesome if you're a Jets fan. And they're probably going to continue to, they're a very well-coached team.
They play very, very hard.

Speaker 8 Also, Elijah Moore didn't even play. Yeah.
Yeah. There's a little stuff going on there, but hopefully he gets back

Speaker 8 with the injuries.

Speaker 2 He demanded a trade. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's kind of weird.

Speaker 1 We got it.

Speaker 2 What happened with the trade demand?

Speaker 8 He wanted a trade, even though he's on a winning team, and there has been injuries. This would have been the perfect game for him to

Speaker 8 really get a bunch of touches. But the guy's gotten the ball.
Like, I think it's in your first 17 games.

Speaker 8 I think he got 107 times targeted, which is more than DeAndre Hopkins, more than tons of other wideouts in the league.

Speaker 1 So I don't know if it's worth it. I see

Speaker 1 one game. I just want to clear.

Speaker 1 The Jets, again, five and two, a lot of young talent. They're winning games.
You don't apologize for that.

Speaker 1 I would like to hear from Jets fans: do you feel like the shoe is going to drop like I would always feel whenever the Bears are good for like a minute?

Speaker 1 Do you feel that, or are you like, no, this team's really good?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I just want to hear. I like to hear it.

Speaker 8 Realistically, I'm trying, you know, the

Speaker 8 optimistic

Speaker 8 is like the

Speaker 8 pessimistic is pretty played out. So just try to keep positive.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, I'm not saying you should be pessimistic.

Speaker 2 I actually think with this team, and you're right, the new jerseys that they're wearing, it's different. New coach, it's different.
New quarterback, it's different.

Speaker 2 I feel like you don't really have a reason to be expecting harrowing defeat from this group of Jets.

Speaker 8 60% of the team is under, I think, 24%.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's right.

Speaker 2 That's really what it is. There's been so much turnover.

Speaker 1 And here's the thing:

Speaker 1 the Jets have three games coming up that they can prove it because if they figure out a way to go two and one, they're playing the Patriots, Bills, bye, or sorry, Patriots, Bills, bye week Patriots again.

Speaker 1 If they go two and one there, now it's a totally different conversation. Now it's like the confidence is warranted.

Speaker 8 If we get one win over the Patriots in that stretch.

Speaker 1 Well, yeah,

Speaker 1 I mean, if you could somehow beat the Bill, like if you get either two wins against the Patriots or you beat the Bills somehow, like that's now we're talking about a team that, okay, eyes wide open.

Speaker 1 Holy shit. They're real.

Speaker 8 Yeah. Also, pussying out of the gun bet.

Speaker 1 Well, remember, we were going to.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah. You weren't going to.
Yeah, if they beat the Patriots twice, I was going to get shot.

Speaker 2 Just getting ahead of it.

Speaker 1 You're not going to do it.

Speaker 8 Yeah, I think we got to.

Speaker 2 Well, now you're cursing the rest of the season. Yeah.
You know, the Jets are probably going to collapse now because.

Speaker 1 What about

Speaker 1 my cheesesteak with hot sauce? Okay, 100%. 100%.
I will eat. Yes, just don't shoot me.

Speaker 1 Let's go back down there.

Speaker 2 Billy, yeah, a lot of people would say old Billy would have done it. Get shot.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 New Billy. New Billy.

Speaker 1 New Jets.

Speaker 2 New Jets.

Speaker 2 Turned over a new leaf.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 All right. Let's move on next.
I'm pretty sure I said you could shoot me with a bow and arrow if the Jets beat the Patriots twice. So I guess since you're pussying out, then

Speaker 1 I get out as well. Yeah.
Perfect. Okay.
So the vibes are not.

Speaker 1 I would have rather done it.

Speaker 1 Lives of ballots.

Speaker 2 I would still like to see Hank get shot with a bow and arrow.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, that's like the cat thing, though. You guys don't want the other side.

Speaker 8 Paintball gun. I'll do a paintball gun.

Speaker 1 Okay. That's fair.
Deal.

Speaker 1 Broncos just.

Speaker 1 That has to be so fucking frustrating. Paintball gun, real bullets.

Speaker 1 How does that work? You'll jam

Speaker 1 even better.

Speaker 2 But what if it doesn't?

Speaker 1 Ultimate rush.

Speaker 1 If you're. nail gun if you're on the broncos

Speaker 1 if you're oh that would be sick oh

Speaker 1 that's probably worse than a bullet yeah if you're on the broncos defense i mean you have to just be so upset about everything because your defense is so goddamn good and your team sucks did you see that before this game they were i i don't know where this rumor came from but people were talking about the broncos trading away their good players like giving up on the season Yeah, there's a rumor report about Bradley Chubby on the trade block.

Speaker 2 How mad would you be if you're the Walmart family and you just bought this team? They didn't. And then, like, Russell Wilson was probably a pretty big part why you bought this team.

Speaker 2 And then it all sucks.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it all sucks so bad, and you don't have your first-round draft pick either.

Speaker 8 90-day return policy?

Speaker 1 Sucks. At Walmart returned.
They always gave it to us.

Speaker 2 Yeah, did you keep the receipt?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Good point.

Speaker 2 Nordstrom would take it back as a courtesy. Immediately.

Speaker 8 They've always given us the 90-day return policy.

Speaker 2 You can return anything to Nordstrom. It's part of their policy.
I swear to God, you you can bring in like a tire that you bought at an auto parts store, return at Nordstrom.

Speaker 2 They'll give you money back for it.

Speaker 2 The Waltons should take Russell Wilson to Nordstrom and try to return him and see if they could get money back for him. Just an idea.
Yeah, just an idea.

Speaker 1 I like the idea. Okay, next game.
Raiders, Texans. We've got a couple more left.
Raiders, 38, Texans, 20.

Speaker 1 I don't really have much about this other than Josh Jacobs was a beast.

Speaker 1 He's playing mad. He didn't get his fifth-year option picked up.
Derek Carr looked good.

Speaker 1 And Davis Mills, Mills Mafia, in trouble.

Speaker 2 On the Josh, the Josh Jacobs thing, I get the feeling that McDaniels is trying to make a case to management to pay this guy and to give him a big extension.

Speaker 2 And so he's feeding him the ball. And for the last three weeks or so, Josh Jacobs has been probably the best running back in the NFL.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's been very, very good this year. He's running angry.

Speaker 1 I actually wanted to seed my time talking about this game to just talking about Mark Davis's house.

Speaker 1 Have you seen Mark Davis's house that he's building in Las Vegas?

Speaker 2 No. How many?

Speaker 1 I am such a big Mark Davis fan because he just

Speaker 1 does whatever he wants. He has the worst haircut.
He wears white jeans. He looks like a slob and he has the Raiders.

Speaker 2 I think he looks good.

Speaker 1 He looks really good, right? And then this is his house.

Speaker 2 How many slides does he have? Look at this.

Speaker 1 This is the final, what it's going to look like. Oh, yeah, yeah.
I've seen him. But this is the update.
So it's coming along nicely. Beautiful.

Speaker 1 So if you haven't seen Mark Davis's house, search it online.

Speaker 1 He's building basically like a Dr. Evil type lair in Las Vegas that looks so fucking cool.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I imagine it would be like the opposite of Russell Wilson's house where Russ has like three bathrooms and like 20 bedrooms.

Speaker 2 He probably has like Mark Davis has like three bathrooms in every room.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and he has one bedroom. Yeah.
No guess.

Speaker 2 It's just a shitload of bathrooms. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I can pee in any room of my house. Yeah, it's a bedroom with it.
It's just one bedroom with a huge fucking bed that's like the entire expanse of the room.

Speaker 1 And then, yeah, he can just, there's just sinks everywhere that he can pee in.

Speaker 2 He just piss everywhere. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And update on the pinky bet. So the Raiders looked obviously a lot better today off the bye week.

Speaker 1 They're playing the Texans, but they have a chance of going on a nice little stretch here because they play the Saints, the Jaguars, the Colts, the Broncos, and Seahawks. All winnable games.

Speaker 1 It could get interesting.

Speaker 2 I think we said that the Raiders are the best one and four team, maybe of all time.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 So now I think they're a pretty much above average two and five team, but they can play on a level with most teams, I think. You know how certain games you just like, this one was off on the side TV.

Speaker 2 We would check in on it, and for some reason, they gave their cameraman instructions, like, this is going to be the Lovey Smith game. Yeah.

Speaker 2 So, like, every time you look at the TV, it was just like Lovey looking stoic on the sideline.

Speaker 3 For no, I couldn't really figure out a reason why they kept showing Lovey, except whatever he was doing was his beard was more entertaining to look at than what was happening on the field for for most of the game i think that's what the reason was that's a fact um so yeah good job by the raiders they might be back but they also played the texans i love always the like are the raiders back or do they just play the texans time will tell and we'll find out next week when they play the saints uh all right we have two games left the pro football football show is presented by the chevy silverado built for the hustle ready for the game chevy silverado is america's most dependable full-size truck whether you're grinding through the week or gearing up for kickoff the silverado is one ride that's always game ready Just like football, it's about grit, grind, and getting it done.

Speaker 3 Head to Chevy.com to learn more and build your own Chevy Silverado.

Speaker 1 Oh, I just found an all-time reply guy because we just did that for the Jets. There's a Yankees reply guy.

Speaker 1 Yankees rings, 1923 through 1950. They won a bunch of them.
African Americans couldn't play yet. 1951 through 1962, only 10 teams in each league.
1977, 1978, real rings.

Speaker 1 1996 to 2009, multiple steroid user cheaters. That's pretty good.
That's a pretty good. That's an elite reply guy

Speaker 1 to get 27 rings down to two. Two rings for the Yankees.

Speaker 1 That's some job well done.

Speaker 2 Another fun stat.

Speaker 1 I know you like fun stats. The Yankees are the first team to lose five-straight ALCS series.
Oh, that is fun.

Speaker 1 Damn.

Speaker 7 Ooh. It's a lot of Final Fours.

Speaker 7 They don't count that in baseball to do college basketball, though.

Speaker 1 Yeah. But if they did.
Hang the banner. If they did.
That'd be sick. It would be.

Speaker 2 Yeah, ALCS finalist. Put it up.

Speaker 1 Yeah, level four.

Speaker 1 Let's

Speaker 1 go to one out of 22 years. Let's go to the next game and talk about the first place Seattle Seahawks.
Seahawks 37, Chargers 23, the first place Seattle Seahawks. No one, no one.

Speaker 1 There is not a single person who had the Seahawks being in first place in the last week of October.

Speaker 1 This was supposed to be one of the worst teams in the NFL, and they're 4-3, and they throttled the Chargers.

Speaker 2 Throttled them. Guess what? They might even be getting better because their new running back, Kenneth Walker, Kenneth Walker, Michigan State, 22.09 miles per hour.

Speaker 2 Fastest player in the NFL so far this season. Fastest ball carrier.

Speaker 1 Yeah, incredible. He's an awesome running back.
He was awesome at Michigan State.

Speaker 1 23 yards for 100 or 23 carries for 168 yards. Their defense is like young and getting better.

Speaker 1 I don't know. I mean, the Seahawks, are they good? The Seahawks are

Speaker 1 good. They might be a good football team.
I think

Speaker 2 the Seahawks are good as long as DK is not too badly injured.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that sucks.

Speaker 2 So he had a knee injury and he got carted off, but he's kind of the boy that diarrhea Wolf at this point. So everybody was like, oh, he's probably just kind of shit.

Speaker 2 And it's like, no, he actually is using the cart for its intended purpose this time. X-rays were negative.
He's getting an MRI today. Hope he's okay.
Good thing he got paid before the season started.

Speaker 2 Congrats on that, DK. But as long as he can stay healthy, I think that the Seahawks, what they're doing, they're not lucky with anything that they're doing.
They beat the Chargers.

Speaker 2 They're playing good football. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 the inverse of what I was saying, like big games that ended up not being big games. How about looking at games before the season starts, being like, that game sucks.

Speaker 1 The Seahawks play the Giants next week. That's.
That's a good game now. Big game now.
That's a big game now that will tell you a lot about both teams.

Speaker 1 And yeah, I mean, the Chargers are, the Chargers are just the Chargers.

Speaker 1 They lose a game that they were favored at home, and they also lose another player to injury. JC Jackson got carted off as well.
I think it seems like he's out for a while, and Mike Williams got hurt.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 it's got to be so depressing to be a Chargers fan because it feels like every year, and they have all these guys, all these names, and they either get injured or the team as a whole underperforms.

Speaker 1 And even like Austin Eckler starting to play really, really well, and Justin Herbert's still very, very good, but it just feels like they're just the same team every year.

Speaker 1 Everyone's going to talk about them at the end of December being like, man, if the Chargers could make the playoffs, watch out for them, but they're not going to make the playoffs.

Speaker 2 I think that with the Seahawks, if you look at their remaining schedule, you can probably do the thing where you pencil in wins and losses. and then just reverse all those games entirely.

Speaker 2 And that would probably end up being the case. Yeah.
I could see them beating any, I could see them actually beating the Chiefs, as weird as that sounds. No.

Speaker 2 Like they're weirdly good, the Seahawks team. And I could see them beating all the good teams and maybe losing to some teams that they shouldn't lose to.

Speaker 2 But

Speaker 2 I don't think that there's anything weird or fluky about this team. I think that they're just playing good football and Pete Carroll is having, I think he's having fun

Speaker 2 figuring out how to get the most out of Geno Smith.

Speaker 1 And it's, I mean, it's one of the funniest stories that the Broncos are just cratering and the Seahawks are thriving. Yep.
And I don't know, and they have their first-round pick.

Speaker 1 So it's like, imagine the Seahawks go to the playoffs and the Broncos have like a top-five pick. It'd be pretty awesome.
It would be one of the worst, one year in, one of the worst trades ever.

Speaker 1 I mean, it's crazy that the Seahawks, I still can't believe that they're in first place at the end of October.

Speaker 2 I think most of this trade just ended up being because Sierra wanted to get out of Seattle.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Oh, definitely. She was like, I'm kind of sick of the rain.
And I don't blame her. Like,

Speaker 2 it would get old real fast. I could live for like maybe two years in the Pacific Northwest before I was like, just get me the fuck out of here.
Yeah. Because it's nice.

Speaker 2 You get to spend a lot of time outside. You probably get some dogs, load up your Subaru, go hiking, kayaking a few times.

Speaker 2 But after a while, you're like, I will literally live in any city besides Seattle. Just get me out of here.
I think that's what it ultimately came down to.

Speaker 1 The Seahawks, by the way, they were

Speaker 1 preseason, over or under, was five and and a half wins.

Speaker 1 Yeah. No.
Four and three.

Speaker 2 I think I was hand up.

Speaker 1 No, me too.

Speaker 2 I wrote not only Geno Smith, I wrote the Seahawks off big time. Whole team.
I think I said hammer the under on five and a half wins.

Speaker 1 Everyone did.

Speaker 2 They might win one or two games.

Speaker 1 That's I think I said all those things. Everyone thought.
Remember when they were going to maybe trade DK before the season started? Like,

Speaker 1 this is a crazy story that they are four and three in the top of the NFC wide.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, the Packers wanted DK Metcalf. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Imagine that. Probably could use them.

Speaker 2 Probably could use them a lot.

Speaker 1 Happy that didn't happen. Yep.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And then I don't know.

Speaker 2 Chargers, I just, again, I feel bad for Chargers fans. It's just every week.

Speaker 1 Both of them? Yeah.

Speaker 1 They lose and then they lose in injuries. It's like, all right, we're going to lose a game and we're also going to lose like our best players every single week.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it's tough.

Speaker 1 Do they have a kicker?

Speaker 2 What'd they do with Hopkins?

Speaker 1 Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 2 He died.

Speaker 2 He died at the end of last week's game with a game-winning kick.

Speaker 1 Probably milking it again.

Speaker 2 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 2 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 2 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo-style chicken, paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy Munster cheese, are sure to score big and help me elevate my entertainment every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 2 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 1 Chiefs, Niners. Chiefs absolutely whomped, whomped the Niners.

Speaker 2 Statement whomping.

Speaker 1 It was 10-0 at one point. Patrick Mahomes had thrown a pick, which wasn't really his.
It was kind of bounced everywhere, incredible play by the Niners defense, Hofinga.

Speaker 1 But after that, they put on a complete

Speaker 1 offensive clinic. They scored touchdowns in five of their next six drives.
The only one they didn't, they missed a field goal, a short field goal. Mahomes was on fire,

Speaker 1 25 for 34, 423 yards, and three touchdowns. They were averaging 12.5 yards per pass play.
Like,

Speaker 1 it was silly what they were doing to the Niners' defense.

Speaker 1 And I feel like an absolute asshole because I bet on Jimmy G against the Chiefs, and it just reminded me that the Chiefs are really fucking good.

Speaker 2 The Chiefs are still very good.

Speaker 1 That's the problem, is they played the Bills, so it's like you forget the Bills are just really fucking good, and then the Chiefs are really good. And the Colts,

Speaker 2 that was just weird. Yeah, we're gonna, that's gonna be the game that we look back on at the end of the year.
Well, how about that?

Speaker 2 That was fucked up that that happened, but we saw that it was gonna happen, right? Yeah, I think we actually predicted that one.

Speaker 2 Um, here's a fun little stat: okay, since 2019, the highest quarterback win percentage, including the playoffs, since 2019. Number one, Patrick Mahomes, 79%.

Speaker 2 Number two, Aaron Rodgers, 73%.

Speaker 2 Number three in the NFL

Speaker 2 is Patrick Mahomes in games that his team has trailed by 10 or more points.

Speaker 1 Whoa.

Speaker 2 71%. That's right.
And then number four is Tom Brady, 69%. Damn.

Speaker 2 So Patrick Mahomes in games where he's been behind by 10 or more points has a higher winning percentage than Tom Brady in all the starts does.

Speaker 1 He's crazy.

Speaker 1 It's wild. And the offense was just absolutely humming.
Andy Reid

Speaker 1 just fucked over everyone. I think Andy Reid just loves to do this to fantasy owners and anyone who's betting on these games.

Speaker 1 There was an

Speaker 1 report before the game that Pacheco was going to be the QB1, and then he had nine offensive snaps, and Clyde Edwards-Alaire had 27 offensive snaps. So that was nice.

Speaker 1 And he just had Micole Hardman run all the touchdowns.

Speaker 2 I just hate it when Pacheco's out there because he's of slender build and he wears Tyreek Hill's number.

Speaker 2 And I I always think oh that guy's as good as Tyreek Hill because he looks like him and then he's just not Tyreek Hill but in Andy Reid I feel like he does this every year where he's just like oh yeah my running back like yeah you should start him you remember watch watch me not do anything with him you remember when the chiefs got l'éon bell and everybody was like oh my god how could we all let's not fair how could we let the chiefs get l'éon bell he's not gonna use them yeah no lavian he's busy getting his ass kicked by adrian peterson in a boxing ring for like 13 people yeah this is andy reed he doesn't need a running back yeah it was um it was an ass kicking up and down.

Speaker 2 The Chiefs credit

Speaker 2 Valdez Scantling, Kelsey, and Mahomes playing Warzone together. Yes.
They've been playing Warzone together.

Speaker 1 They won three games in a row. Did they really?

Speaker 1 So the report was they won three games in a row on Friday night playing.

Speaker 1 Kyler Murray's just like.

Speaker 2 I think maybe Kyler Murray's teammates just suck too much at Warzone.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's just, he's like, why can't I be on the Chiefs? They get to play Warzone.

Speaker 2 Well, I think maybe the Chiefs get in easier lobbies. Yeah.
Is that something that happens?

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 2 If you've got shitty players with you, I'm pretty sure it does.

Speaker 1 So, yeah,

Speaker 1 it was just a reminder that the Chiefs are the Chiefs. I don't count out anything that they do ever.

Speaker 2 I think that Christian McCaffrey looks way faster wearing number 23

Speaker 2 than he did wearing number 22. He looked good.
He got

Speaker 2 that uniform makes him look faster for sure. It magically cured all of his soft tissue injuries, too.
Yes. So his hamstrings are fine.
Now that he's on a good team,

Speaker 2 I'm looking forward. I want to see them do like a Debo, Christian McCaffrey, and and Kittle, and maybe even Trenton Williams in the backfield combination at one point.
Yes.

Speaker 2 Because this is like Christian McCaffrey on the 49ers is really Kyle Shanahan's wet dream. This is him creating a brand new.

Speaker 2 He has the opportunity to redefine what running the football can look like with this offense. And I hope he gets weird as fuck with it.

Speaker 1 And Jimmy G is,

Speaker 1 Hank was just, Hank was. Spouting off.
He's like, if you were a Niners fan, you just know Jimmy G.

Speaker 1 He's got some vitriol for Jimmy G. It's not vitriol.
It's, it's

Speaker 1 when they got McCaffrey, everyone was freaking out. And I was like, all I said was, again, this is where you guys spin in my words.

Speaker 1 If I was a 49ers fan, I would almost be nervous because it's like you have all the weapons, but you still got to get Jimmy G to get it to him. But you need a Super Bowl winning coach.

Speaker 1 And then after that, you guys were giving me shit for it. I went back and re-watched the fourth quarter.
Whoa, you did the tape? There's like a highlight, like a highlight reel.

Speaker 2 You just watched, you watched his bad passes.

Speaker 1 It was all of his passes. Yeah.
He was. No, I mean,

Speaker 1 this is the concern for any.

Speaker 1 You're not wrong. Like, all I was saying is, like, it's almost, it's pressure.
It's like, again, you know, as a Patriots fan for a long time, it's like, you know, all the pressure's on you.

Speaker 1 If you don't win a Super Bowl, it's a bust. When you're the Bills, kind of similar situation, the Chiefs in a similar situation.
Now the 49ers are too. They have all the weapons.

Speaker 1 There's no reason why they shouldn't make the NFT championship or the Super Bowl. And if they don't, it's probably going to be because of Jimmy G.
I like him personally. I just, I would be worried.

Speaker 1 There's

Speaker 1 they put up a graphic too in this game.

Speaker 1 Kyle Shanahan won in 29 record when trailing by three plus points entering the fourth quarter.

Speaker 1 I don't know if that graphic is like confusing because if you're down 17 points, you're not going to win the game in the fourth quarter, but that does feel bad.

Speaker 2 There were some other stats on that same graphic that had

Speaker 2 some other bad second half. indications for Kyle Shanahan.

Speaker 2 It feels this so Kyle Shanahan we keep saying like he I would love to have Kyle Shanahan as my coach, and you would love to have him as your coach as well.

Speaker 2 But he's so good that I think now he does have those X, he's got expectations like Jimmy G has, where, like, Kyle Shanahan, if he doesn't get to a Super Bowl, it's kind of like he's a bust again this season.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, they went all in, and they mortgaged some of the future, and they've already mortgaged some of the future for Trey Lance. Right.

Speaker 1 So, yeah.

Speaker 1 Um, one last thing on this game we had history made. Uh, Brock Purdy, if you're a college football fan, you know Brock Tober used to be a thing.
Brock Purdy was awesome in October for Iowa State.

Speaker 1 He came in for Jimmy G in garbage time, the first Mr. Irrelevant to ever complete a pass in the NFL.
That's pretty cool. Pretty cool.
Seven other quarterbacks drafted as Mr. Irrelevant.

Speaker 1 Actually, your guy, Chad Kelly,

Speaker 1 his only play in the NFL was a kneel-down, but he completed a pass. Brock Purdy, Brock Tober, still rides.
Brock Tober,

Speaker 2 they said in training camp this year that Brock Purdy has the it factor, which is something to keep your eyeball on.

Speaker 1 Watch out.

Speaker 2 The it factor is a real thing when it comes to Kyle Shanahan and how he evaluates quarterbacks. Yes.
Yes, Billy?

Speaker 8 The ball popped off his hands.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it did. That's the it factor.

Speaker 2 You saw the it factor. Yes.

Speaker 1 Yes. So

Speaker 1 the good news for Niners fans is you get to play the Rams next week, and you own them. Own them.
So

Speaker 1 that will hopefully cure everything.

Speaker 2 everything that will be a fun game to watch but yeah the chiefs i we're just like it feels like we're just on a collision course for the chiefs and the bills again that's that's what i'm looking forward to so much is next week because i feel like if kyle shanahan he's going to want to try to use christian mccaffrey in all these new weird ways especially against a coach that he just dominates i have a feeling we might see some clown shit next week between the 49ers and the rams yeah some real clown shit yeah i'm ready for it i'm ready for the clown shit um okay Also, shout out to Jushek, who dislocated his finger and kept running with the football on the play, even though I think it was his pinky was pointing straight downwards.

Speaker 2 Shit. That was pretty awesome.
That is. He's another guy that's going to be involved in that nuclear backfield that I'm talking about.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Oh, absolutely. They should just have no line.

Speaker 2 Oh, that'd be sick.

Speaker 1 Just everyone in the backfield.

Speaker 1 I don't think that's legal, but it'd be great.

Speaker 2 You have to have five, six guys.

Speaker 1 On the line of scrimmage? Yeah, on the line of scrimmage. Yeah, but it would be fucking sick.

Speaker 2 Okay, let's finish up the We have

Speaker 1 Okay, Billy, football guy of the week.

Speaker 2 Cool. So

Speaker 8 this week's winner is the Tennessee Volunteers Football Fans.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 8 So carrying out the field goal posts. So if that football that's now in a Florida detention facility with the guy who tackled the nine-year-old,

Speaker 8 whoever's there, could they just send it to Tennessee just randomly? Someone will get it.

Speaker 2 A lot of Tennessee fans really like to move the goalposts on things, I've noticed.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 It's interesting.

Speaker 8 Our first nominee are two college wrestlers who were mauled by a grizzly bear. They fought him off and survived.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 2 Bears take another L. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Nothing to do with football, but just football guys. Yeah,

Speaker 8 they were teammates, and one of them wrestled a bear off of his friend.

Speaker 2 Was it a black bear or a brown bear?

Speaker 1 This makes me nervous. Wait, is this the same story you told us last week? Is it the same.

Speaker 1 Is this part of the bear attacks we talked about? Yes. Okay.
Okay. I just want to make sure it's not even more.
Right. Right.

Speaker 8 This one had to be included.

Speaker 1 I'm nervous about the next three if we're.

Speaker 1 We'll start with the wrestling bear, the wrestling guys against the bear that we talked about last week.

Speaker 1 This is very quickly going to turn into Billy's Bears of the Week.

Speaker 2 Which I actually wouldn't be mad about. Maybe in the offseason.

Speaker 1 Actually, this one. Joey had on.

Speaker 1 No, just Joey.

Speaker 8 This one is a little Bears-related.

Speaker 8 A guy proposed to his girlfriend with the 1985 Chicago Bears Super Bowl ring.

Speaker 1 Okay, that is both

Speaker 1 so sad and

Speaker 1 beautiful. Such love.

Speaker 2 They seemed like young people.

Speaker 2 I don't know where he got that ring. Was it a real ring, or was it like the rings that anybody can get the replica ring?

Speaker 1 I think there's been a couple Bears who've had to sell sell their rings.

Speaker 8 Yeah, it might have been

Speaker 1 a real one.

Speaker 8 Equipment guy or something. Jason Kelsey on game day apparel said, what the fuck do I care about a game day fit? I don't like to play dress up.
I like to play football.

Speaker 1 And the best part about this is just a direct shot at his brother. Yeah.
Like direct shot.

Speaker 2 Did you see what Travis Kelsey was wearing in the interview today?

Speaker 1 Yes. It's like I love what he does.
He does it a couple of times. What did he say? He said something last year where it was like, I played hockey.
He played basketball.

Speaker 1 Every now and then he takes a shot at his brother.

Speaker 2 Travis Kelsey was wearing like the Joseph and the Technical or Dream Coat

Speaker 1 robe today.

Speaker 2 And then he was wearing the clear glasses.

Speaker 2 He looked like the guys, if the guys from throwing fits or failing upward, if they got hit in the head with a baseball bat, that's what Travis Kelsey would look like.

Speaker 8 And our last nominee is Eric Gentry, an inside linebacker from USC who

Speaker 8 was in the injury tent and ran out with a bad ankle to go hype up his team on the field.

Speaker 1 Nice.

Speaker 8 Exited the tent. There was trainers trailing him, like saying, hey, get back to the tent.
What are you doing?

Speaker 8 He was hopping around on a bad ankle, just yelling for his defense to hype him up and get them going.

Speaker 2 Calling run pass.

Speaker 1 Oh, they lost. Yes.
To Utah. Yes.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 But that's okay. That's the same football guy.

Speaker 1 We'll say that for who's back.

Speaker 1 Oh, wait, what? Oh. Something we don't know.
Oh, no, Billy was asking.

Speaker 1 I was trying to get some less for him.

Speaker 2 Billy, you had one other guy that you wanted to put on your football guy.

Speaker 1 Go ahead, Billy. Go for it.
We'll save her who's back.

Speaker 2 Like,

Speaker 2 he made a tackle, right?

Speaker 8 Right. We'll save for who's back.

Speaker 1 Okay. He's actually a football player, not a wrestler.
Yeah. Okay.
All right. We'll save for who's back.

Speaker 1 Who's back of the week? Let's finish up the show. My who's back of the week is tanking.
Yeah. Tanking in the NBA.
The NBA started a couple weeks ago.

Speaker 2 Phillies are on three.

Speaker 1 Webinana?

Speaker 1 Yeah, Adam Silver came out and did an interview, which is all bullshit where he's like, you know, I think we might start talking about relegation and try and, you know, stop teams from tanking because there is a clear, clear, clear number one.

Speaker 1 Victor Webanyama

Speaker 1 from France. From France.
He's like

Speaker 1 7-17 at least. Just an absolute freak.
Freak in nature.

Speaker 2 7 feet, 17 inches. He is crazy.
I would set a record.

Speaker 1 So teams are tanking. The Sixers 0-3, trying to get him.
Lakers, 0-3, trying to get him. So it's kind of sad.
They don't want to compete. They don't want to try.

Speaker 1 It is football and baseball season, so I get it. This is how you know how threatened you are right now: is that you're going off, getting ahead of the Philly story by saying.

Speaker 1 Hey, Hank, I'm just just curious what are the what's the Celtics record Celtics are 3-0

Speaker 2 I mean they you know new coach a lot of turmoil in the offseason all that stuff pluck out the noise that's not you're not bringing this up so that you can talk about the Celtics being 3-0 and the Sixers being 0-3 no I mean tanking tanking is a thing

Speaker 1 Adam Silver did a just did an interview talking about it that obviously once you hear that you're like oh that means that they're worried about teams tanking let's look at the leaderboard see who's 0-3 it just happened to be the Sixers and the Lakers that's not again like I didn't choose the Sixers to go 0-3.

Speaker 1 They just are. If you want to hear the Livers Lives Listeners.
And the Lakers are so bad.

Speaker 1 Russell Westbrook, putting him in the last two minutes of a game is just, that's the clearest sign of tanking you could have.

Speaker 2 I think I saw a stat that said he went one for six on layups today.

Speaker 1 He went 0 for 11 on Friday night, I want to say, or Thursday night.

Speaker 2 It's not great, but if you want to hear the emptiest of empty promises or empty threats, it's Adam Silver saying that we're considering relegation because that's not ever going to happen.

Speaker 1 The owners

Speaker 1 of the

Speaker 1 all season.

Speaker 1 They would have him killed.

Speaker 2 Yes. Like they would actually kill Adam Silver if he tried to institute relegation.

Speaker 1 Interesting, though, tanking. So watch out for the Sixers and Lakers trying to lose all these games.
Got it.

Speaker 2 It's baseball season, though.

Speaker 1 It's football season. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I don't know why you keep saying that. It is.

Speaker 1 Like, no one cares about the NBA, right? Exactly. You keep saying that as a dig towards me.

Speaker 1 But no, no, you are.

Speaker 1 Tact-efficient fact. They're always.

Speaker 2 I see both sides of this because

Speaker 1 they are 0-3. So you have to ask if they're tanking.

Speaker 1 It doesn't ⁇ don't even ask them about basketball.

Speaker 2 It's football and baseball season.

Speaker 1 Right, but are the Sixers tanking?

Speaker 1 Talk to me when football and baseball season are. Okay, all right.
But if I had to ask you right now, would you say maybe?

Speaker 1 I would say not winning a single game so far would lead me to the conclusion, yes.

Speaker 1 Okay. I have no other choice.

Speaker 2 Who's your who's back? Numbers never lie. No,

Speaker 2 men lie, women lie, Numbers don't. Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right, your who's back, PFT.

Speaker 2 My who's back of the week is Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift's back big time.
She dropped an album on Friday morning/slash Thursday night at midnight.

Speaker 1 She do two, like two, two for one or something. What?

Speaker 2 She has she well, there's a second.

Speaker 1 It's like a daily double or something.

Speaker 2 There's a second version of the album that came out, too, like with all the extras. So if you.
What does that mean? I don't know. It's just Taylor Swift.

Speaker 2 Was it more songs? These are bad vibes. These are hater vibes.

Speaker 1 No, I'm legitimately curious. Are you putting your tanking energy into the Taylor Swift talk? I don't appreciate it.
Dude,

Speaker 1 I'm legitimately curious. I'm not a Swifty.
I see people talking about him. She's not from Philadelphia.
Taylor Swift put the album. Put your gun down.
And they're like, oh, I like this version.

Speaker 1 And then they're like, I like the second version. Yeah.
Oh, you know. But like, why are you?

Speaker 2 Are you mad about different versions?

Speaker 1 She is from Pennsylvania. She is right.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 That explains a lot of it. I'm not, you guys again.

Speaker 1 The same shit as CBG. Like,

Speaker 1 I'm not being a hater. I'm just asking questions.

Speaker 2 I thought she was from Nashville. Anyways, Anyways,

Speaker 2 she put out an album, maybe two albums. Hank's really upset about more songs.

Speaker 1 Just curious.

Speaker 1 No, you're not mad. No, I want to wait.
I want to clear it. Factor fiction.
Wait, wait, wait. Hank, factor fiction.

Speaker 2 This is my segment. Shut up, Hank.
It's fiction.

Speaker 1 It's our segment.

Speaker 2 But it's my turn to talk. It's your turn.

Speaker 1 Fact.

Speaker 1 There you go. It's fact.

Speaker 2 But I'm talking right now. So you can talk in a second.
Okay. And all I'm going to say is she put out a lot of music for people to enjoy, and Hank's very mad about that for some reason.
Fiction.

Speaker 1 Okay. And now go with your fact.
Fact or fiction, she put out some songs at one point and other songs later on, but call them one album. Question mark.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 I don't know. I'm actually trying to find out if that's fact or faction.

Speaker 2 I don't know. I just know that on Spotify, I click on her songs and then it makes me feel sad sometimes, but in a happy way.
So I like her new album. It's okay.

Speaker 2 And I think she's discovered kind of a life hack when it comes to releasing music, which is just drop an album in the fall. Yeah.
When people are just emotional, anyways. Yes.

Speaker 1 Lumineres.

Speaker 2 And the season's changing.

Speaker 2 It's like there's if the leaves are a different color on a tree than they were a couple days ago and you hear a song, you're going to like that song more because nature, we're all on our like annual period right now.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Which is this time of year.
It's getting cold. You're sad because summer's over.
You're looking forward to cuffing season or whatever in the wintertime.

Speaker 2 This is when you're really able to get those songs under your skin like a splinter. And that's what she does.
And so far, I give this, I give it a B plus. The album gets B plus for 50.

Speaker 7 I feel like the combo of Philadelphia fans and Swifties coming after you is

Speaker 1 could be a lot.

Speaker 1 You have your guard up. Don't worry about it.
Okay, my who's back is Philadelphia.

Speaker 1 And I will let Max speak about it as well. Baseball season.
The reason why you know Philadelphia is back is we had the

Speaker 1 tweet in the picture of them greasing the poles ahead of game five of the NLCS so people can't climb all of the

Speaker 1 traffic lights and the light poles.

Speaker 1 Philadelphia is all the way back, though. The Phillies are in the World Series.
Max,

Speaker 1 how we feel. I mean, Bryce Harper, like...

Speaker 1 I know that he still has to win the World Series, but what he has done this playoffs and erased any negative like Bryce Harper, you know, the Nationals winning when he left.

Speaker 1 He's been absolutely insane. I still like that.
I still like that. Everything that Aaron Judge isn't he's he's incredible

Speaker 1 absolutely he is he was saying i think after he hit his second home run the the game winning home run he was saying into the camera i am that dude and it's like yeah you are you and there was a there was like uh you could like a close-up view of him in the dugout talking to one of his teammates like i can't believe i just did that yeah which is unreal yeah it was it was an electric electric moment because the phillies were looking like they were gonna have to go all the way to san diego to play game six and bryce harper is that you just knew he was gonna do it when he stepped in the box

Speaker 1 awesome so Max,

Speaker 1 first take us through the whole weekend because you saw, you got to see the Phillies win game four in a crazy, like, you know, back and forth. You know, you're down 4-0 in the first inning.

Speaker 1 You're at the game. What was that like?

Speaker 1 I was at a game.

Speaker 1 What game?

Speaker 1 I was at the game. The game.

Speaker 1 I was at a

Speaker 1 sporting event in Pennsylvania. Okay.
Okay.

Speaker 2 So when you saw like 4-0 in the first inning, you're probably like, oh my God, we're so fucked right now.

Speaker 1 Yeah, what was the... Were people leaving the stadium? Yeah, what was the stadium like? What were the vibes like? Actually, the stadium was insane.
Everyone had

Speaker 1 little rally towels going. There was pom-poms.
People were all wearing. There were pom-poms that night.
There were people wearing white. They were all wearing white for the Phillies?

Speaker 1 No, they were wearing white. Oh, okay.
They were wearing white. Everyone was wearing white.
It was great. It was great.

Speaker 2 What kind of event was this?

Speaker 1 It was a massive sporting event. There were so many people there.
Anytime you play the Minnesota Bolfers, four and three. Sold out.
It was sick. It's been sick.
So, but no, you're,

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 1 we watched the final out together. You were Philly through and through.
You, you clinched the World Series, then you turned to one of our co-workers and you just pointed right in his face.

Speaker 1 You're like, fuck you, fuck you. I was like, what's going on? I don't know why I did that.

Speaker 1 That was unnecessary. That was rude.
I apologized after the fact. It wasn't even, it was not Hank.
People who would think that, I said that.

Speaker 2 Do you want to say that to Hank?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 Hank. It's ruined for the Phillies.
No, no, no. The fact that Hank is trying to dance on graves for a 3-0 start to the NBA season in October is exactly

Speaker 1 0-3.

Speaker 2 No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 But the Celtics being 3-I think it's expected. I think he was just pointing out.
No, no, no, no. You're tanking.
No, that just shows where Boston Sports is.

Speaker 1 Now we're just selling. They're 0-3.
I would not have mentioned that.

Speaker 1 But they are. I had no choice.
Okay, so how are you feeling, though? I mean, this is great. Team of the Destiny.

Speaker 1 football season anyway. Team of Destiny vibes.

Speaker 1 It couldn't be a more fun run to watch because all of your big players are coming up with big hits. And it's

Speaker 1 like

Speaker 1 the emotion that you see on the field and after every game in the locker room, it's like...

Speaker 1 You just root for the guys.

Speaker 1 It is kind of like the Cubs team. It's just like it's a bunch of guys that you root for and you know that they're having fun.
It's the opposite of the Yankees. Enjoying.

Speaker 1 Couldn't be more opposite of the Yankees, but you're just like enjoying the ride with them, and it's just the city. I mean, I don't think they can,

Speaker 1 I don't want to say it, oh,

Speaker 1 at home, at home, they're like, it is so tough to play.

Speaker 2 You know, the Asters are really good, though.

Speaker 1 The Asters are really, really good. We also have the Philly apocalypse I pointed out to you.

Speaker 1 If the World Series goes six,

Speaker 1 the game

Speaker 1 six would be in Houston Friday night, November 3rd, I want to say. The night before the Eagles are playing the Texans on Thursday night football.

Speaker 2 Be like the rehearsal dinner that night.

Speaker 1 It would be insane. That Texan Stadium would be gross.
It would be gross. So

Speaker 2 I actually think that if the Phillies can pull this off, if they can manage to win the World Series, at that point, that's going to play even more into the Eagles. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Like the Eagles are going to build off that. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 It's the new title town.

Speaker 2 I would say, like, if you can get a World Series and a Super Bowl, like, I would say that Philadelphia would be the one city in the American Northeast that I would think about when I'm talking about sports championships in the 21st century.

Speaker 1 I would agree. It's hard to do.

Speaker 1 Feels like the vibes in Philly are at all-time high.

Speaker 1 Everything's coming up, Philly. Penn State beats Minnesota.
Penn State did beat Minnesota. That is true.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I heard that was also Sakame.

Speaker 1 Great place to be at.

Speaker 1 I also, I mean, not to make this about me, but I do obviously

Speaker 1 have some bit of a rivalry with Philly because of basketball and football.

Speaker 1 But I have said on this show for a long time that the Astros got off easier than any other sports team or anyone in history with their whole cheating scandal and COVID and all that shit.

Speaker 1 And I still think they're scumbags. So I'm rooting for the Phillies in the World Series.

Speaker 2 It would be kind of awesome to see the Astros just go to World Series after World Series and lose all of them. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. That would be cool.
And I want Schwarber to win. Yeah.
Schwarber's cool. Price Harper's cool.
Bryce Harper's the man.

Speaker 1 Miles Teller, great celebrity fan. It's cool.

Speaker 2 I want to see Mike Trout in the stands for the Phillies, rooting for the Phillies.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 2 That's what I like, caring so much more about the Phillies than he does about the Angels.

Speaker 1 That would be the least surprising thing ever. That would be awesome.

Speaker 2 So seeing. I guarantee he's going to be at one of these games.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 He has to be. All right, Billy.

Speaker 8 So, My Who's Back is life imitating art.

Speaker 8 Reoccurring debt guest Jimmy Tatro had a skit that he did about, you know, those videos, the inspirational videos of the special needs kids running in touchdowns?

Speaker 8 Well, Jimmy Tatro did a skit once where one of the kids on the field doesn't get the memo that they're supposed to let the kid walk into the end zone and tackles the kid.

Speaker 1 And that happened over the weekend. Oh, it did.

Speaker 8 There was a viral video. The kid didn't know what was going on.

Speaker 8 He tackled the kid in the backfield.

Speaker 8 Everyone was like, what the hell is going on?

Speaker 2 Everyone put their hands on their head.

Speaker 1 I want to see it. Oh, no.

Speaker 2 I sent it to you.

Speaker 2 From a football standpoint, the kid made a hell of a play.

Speaker 1 Right, that was my point. It's like, he might be a football guy.
Oh, he blew that up. Yeah,

Speaker 1 he blew that up. It was like Troy Palomalo.
It's kind of a football guy move to not

Speaker 1 realize what's going on and just be like, I see a guy with the ball. I got attacked.
Yeah, I think that if, regardless of how huge a running back was at that point, that...

Speaker 2 That quarterback got hit at the mesh point.

Speaker 2 Like, that kid was making a play.

Speaker 2 You know, it's so crazy because high school football, it's such a shit show.

Speaker 8 Like, I never knew how all those videos always got done so well with everyone on the same page because there's always some kid who has no idea what he's fucking doing and he, like, doesn't even know what to do when he's playing in the actual game.

Speaker 8 So, like, to make sure that everyone knows, like, to not actually play. Yeah.
It's a.

Speaker 8 We all knew it was going to happen at some point in some place across America with how many football games go on on Friday nights, but it happened.

Speaker 2 Right. Can you ever get 11 17 year olds to all do the same thing at any given time? Very hard.
Very tough to do. So yeah, it's shocking that it hasn't been, that we haven't seen this happen before.

Speaker 8 His expression after he does it and realize what's happened where he looks back at the kid on the ground and he's like, oh my God.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 What did I do?

Speaker 2 It was tough to see, but at the same time, you can acknowledge that

Speaker 2 the kid made a play.

Speaker 1 He made a play.

Speaker 8 Also, realistic experience for the other kid.

Speaker 2 That's a a good point. That is true.

Speaker 1 That is true.

Speaker 1 Okay, Jake.

Speaker 2 But they gave him the ball on the next play.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and then he scored. Okay, that's good.

Speaker 8 Makes the touchdown sweeter.

Speaker 2 It does, yeah.

Speaker 1 He had to earn those yards. Yeah, yeah.
Two carries.

Speaker 2 You can do his yards per carry now, that whole thing.

Speaker 6 Two carries, 30 yards, touchdown.

Speaker 1 That's a good sign.

Speaker 2 And he didn't fumble the ball, did he?

Speaker 1 Right, he did it.

Speaker 2 Ball security.

Speaker 1 That's great.

Speaker 8 Big time. That's awesome.

Speaker 2 Listen, that's a great way to learn about life a little bit. Yeah.

Speaker 8 Didn't want to put him on Football Guys of the Week because I didn't want to send the football with a nail in it from a penitentiary to that guy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you want to celebrate that?

Speaker 2 That's a good call. You can acknowledge it, but not celebrate it.
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 Jake, finish this off.

Speaker 7 My who's back is Bruce Bocey. Great MLB manager.
He's the new manager of the Texas Rangers.

Speaker 1 Whoa, okay. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Second show he's been referenced on this week. Advisors.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Stu did. Yeah.
Yeah. That's weird.
Out of nowhere. Out of nowhere.
Yeah.

Speaker 7 And that was recorded before he was hired.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
Yes. That's also true.
Yes. Yeah.

Speaker 7 Not enough people talk about that, even your dynasty with the Giants.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's true. That's a good point.

Speaker 7 Once the 2016 Cubs ended.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Bruce Bocey.
I would

Speaker 1 have to beat the 87 Mets.

Speaker 2 What's Ron Washington doing these days?

Speaker 7 I think he's the third-base coach of the Braves.

Speaker 1 They should bring him.

Speaker 2 He basically got fired from the Houston or from the Texas Rangers for doing Coke, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 That should be a requirement. of any team playing out of Dallas.
Yeah. It is.
You should have looked down. Jerry Jones probably wants to gobble that guy up.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Jerry Jones, yeah.

Speaker 1 If you've made that a rule. Like, here's my.

Speaker 2 Here's my theory. You don't want a guy that does Coke all the time, but if you have a guy that's doing Coke, then that means he's a cool enough guy to be offered Coke.

Speaker 1 I'll say this. Aaron Boone, if he was maybe more of a party guy, I feel like the Yankees might go farther.
I agree. He's kind of too much of a robot.
He gives me

Speaker 2 hall monitor vibes.

Speaker 1 He's timing Big Poppy before.

Speaker 7 Do you guys think there's any percent by the time this episode's out, Aaron Mood's fired?

Speaker 1 I mean, I think you want that to happen, right? Something happens to be. You got to get a Rod major hat.
It's the same thing every year. You guys need a rod in the clubhouse.

Speaker 1 And it's crazy that you go. That's a fact.
You go to the ALCS and you just don't win games.

Speaker 7 Right. I think it's re-signed Judge.
Stanton and Cole are obviously long-term, but besides that, I say anything else is on the table.

Speaker 2 I would give him an extension. I'd say.
You don't want to mess things up.

Speaker 1 He was last year.

Speaker 2 I know. Give him another one.

Speaker 1 You don't want to pay him to go.

Speaker 7 So I'm open to anything. Keeping Judge, obviously Stanton and Cole.
And

Speaker 1 yeah.

Speaker 1 Bad times.

Speaker 2 They should get Ron Washington. Bad times.
That's what they should do. Like, put him in New York City.

Speaker 1 Get a dome that you can open and close. Cheater.
Cheater. Wow, that was

Speaker 1 crazy. No.

Speaker 7 I mean, I could see him coming back, and like, he's not with the Marlins anymore. So maybe in a front office role.

Speaker 1 He can come and save.

Speaker 7 Don Mattingly is no longer with the Marlins.

Speaker 1 A-Rod. A-Rod? A-Rod.

Speaker 1 You know, World Series champion. Jabba Chamberlain.
Yeah. He's a whole squad.
David Wells.

Speaker 2 You should get David Wells and Ron Washington together.

Speaker 8 Swisher's a big vibes guy, I feel like. Cece?

Speaker 2 Mark TeShero. Cece?

Speaker 1 Jason Giambi.

Speaker 7 Oh, Francesa.

Speaker 1 That would be crazy. Francesa to manage.

Speaker 1 Yeah, good call, Jason.

Speaker 7 No, he has a whole thing with Jason Giambi.

Speaker 1 Oh, no. I want Francesa

Speaker 1 to manage the Yankees. That would be fun.
162-0. Steve Nash.

Speaker 7 His press conferences would be muscle.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Let's do it.
Yeah. Everything's on.
Kyrie.

Speaker 2 You want to change the vibes around? Get Kyrie to set off some sage in the dugout. That'd be nice.

Speaker 7 So we'll see. But yeah, I'm hoping for major change.

Speaker 1 Are you pretty down? I mean, this is pretty bad.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's his relics. That's what Jake gets.
The Yankees are like, that was Jake being like, I want to kill myself. And being like, yeah.

Speaker 7 I grew up in a Yankees bedroom, like pinstripe wallpaper.

Speaker 1 Who's?

Speaker 7 Like, this is my team.

Speaker 1 Oh, right. But, like, we know.
But. Okay.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Not uh I hope not was it John Wetland? What? That guy, he did some fucked up shit.

Speaker 2 Hideki Matsui.

Speaker 7 Matsui threw out the first pitch yesterday.

Speaker 1 I did think a Rabu who's passed away.

Speaker 2 No, no. Hideki.

Speaker 1 I know Arabu. Matsui had like $80,000 worth of porn.
Did you know that about that? I was saying he had Matsui'd himself. John Wetland was on the Yankees, and I think he's in jail.

Speaker 1 Yep, he's in jail for bad things. Very bad things.
Disavow. Yeah, disavow.
Thank you. That was good.
Yep. All right, so now we're clean slate.

Speaker 1 We've just disavowed John Wetland and the Yankees are back.

Speaker 1 Numbers. Hank, have you ever gotten this? I have not.
Shout out to everyone this weekend down at LSU. That's the number one thing I get now in public is just people telling me numbers.

Speaker 1 17. That's what people told you? 17.
I'm going. The one that you keep guessing and not getting? Come with the horse you rode in on.
All right, I'll go 16.

Speaker 2 Hideki Matsui had 55,000 porn videos in a collection of people.

Speaker 1 I believe he was also traveling

Speaker 1 everywhere. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That was before the internet, dude. You guys stay strapped.
Yeah,

Speaker 2 he would give it away to

Speaker 2 team beat writers.

Speaker 1 All right. 16.

Speaker 2 And also regular writers.

Speaker 1 69.

Speaker 2 37.

Speaker 1 18.

Speaker 1 Oh, hey.

Speaker 1 Could you get it?

Speaker 1 Nope.

Speaker 1 68. Oh, man.

Speaker 1 Billy was trying to run up the score on you. 68.

Speaker 1 I'm rooting for you. But actually, because I want you to get it once, so you get it twice.
You have to pay us.

Speaker 8 Do you want to borrow 69 for a couple?

Speaker 1 No. Days?

Speaker 1 That's actually very one of the nicest things you've ever said in your life. But no.

Speaker 1 statistically

Speaker 1 you can't win with another man's number.

Speaker 2 You know, you can just say 69 though. Like Billy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's true if you don't have to win the two. Yeah.
Yeah. I'll start doing that.

Speaker 1 That's a bubble wrap underneath. Wait, so Hank, when did you pick this on?

Speaker 2 I chose 17. So you're going to stay with 17?

Speaker 1 I don't fucking know. Don't worry about it.
Worry about yourself. Let's just choose.

Speaker 1 Let's do a fake one.

Speaker 2 You think there's a lot of machines?

Speaker 1 This doesn't count. Nothing counts.
Nothing counts. No,

Speaker 1 you can't do this. Go ahead.
All right, so Hank's taking 17. No, no, no.

Speaker 1 This does not count.

Speaker 1 Oh, 10. Oh, man.
I would love a fake one to have 17. Do one more.

Speaker 1 Yeah, fuck it.

Speaker 1 It's 1.30 in the morning. Fuck it.

Speaker 2 Hank, have you checked to see if 17's in there?

Speaker 1 26. I'm going to tweet out right now.
Just finished taping part of my take. Tune in for Hank's number.
Eyeball emoji. People get excited and it just won't be.

Speaker 7 I feel like the veteran AWS will sniff that out.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
Okay. See everyone on Wednesday.
Love you guys.

Speaker 8 Huskies like to sleep in the snow.

Speaker 1 You think?

Speaker 1 Two days and my day to find it. Shiny.

Speaker 1 Though I'll become a viewer. I'm king.

Speaker 1 Shiny.

Speaker 1 Take on me.

Speaker 1 Take me.

Speaker 1 Slowly than the mind is okay.

Speaker 1 Say after me
