Papa John's, thank you for sponsoring the show.

Today is Monday, October 3rd, week four. we start across the pond where Prince Andrew Dalton wasn't sweating.

And in a touching tribute to my dear deceased friend, Queen Elizabeth,

the referees were showing a lot of love to their cousins.

The game came down to the leg of Sir Kixalot,

as Will, I like big Lutz and I cannot lie, attempted to take it into overtime.

But the upright pulled a J.R. Smith and asked the Saints,

You trying to get the pipe?

Which they answered yes, twice, with a double doink.

Cody Parkey, you are officially redeemed.

Just kidding, I fucking hate your guts forever.

Vikings 28, Saints 25.

Wah! Wah! Wah!

London!

In soggy

Baltimore where the Ravens said

let's get recorded.

Let's get recorded in here.

To open up the

game with a commanding 20-3 lead.

But the game changed

when a modern warrior appeared

with a mean mean stride.

Jordan Tom Poyer showed

mean mean pride as Baltimore

probably wished they rushed more

instead of throwing two second half

Thank you. with a mean mean stride jordan tom poyer showed mean mean pride as baltimore probably wished they rushed more instead of throwing two second half interceptions the black-eyed bees the buffalo bills might be banged up but i got a feeling that they're singing i'ma beat i'ma beat i'ma beat i'ma beat three and one bills 23 raven's in pitts, where the Steelers said, life's a Mitch and then you die.
That's why we draft high. Because you never know when Kenny's going to go.
As the Pittsburgh quarterback went Kenny dipping into the end zone after coming in at halftime. The game became Wilson vs.
Pickett. As all you want to do is ride around Sala.
Ride, Sala, ride. As the Jets seal the victory in the midnight hour, getting back to 500.
Wait, the Jets are 500, huh? Huh? Jets? The New York football Jets? 500? Jets 24, Steelers 20. What? What? Down to Atlanta.
Careful where you put that Nick Chubb because there's gunk on your ear, said Marcus. There's something about Mariota.
Jacoby Bryant Brissett into the end zone. Too soon, boom.
The Falcons held firm in the second half and take the young way home. Oh, they took the young way home as they went on the leg of their kicker.
The Falcons,

23. The Browns, 20.
Up to Detroit where a Big 12 shootout broke out and DJ Hakkasan was setting records instead of scratching them and Jamal Serena Williams found the end zone twice as well. What's that smell, Teej?

Is it the Lions' defense?

Or is it someone's digestive system starting to decay? Metcalf, that is. Speaking of craps, Casino Smith hit the jackpot with the Rashad Penny slots, and the Seahawks win a thriller.
Seahawks 48, Lions 45. Score Agami! Ah! Ah To rainy Philadelphia, where the weather had people saying, Jamal Agnew.
As the Jaguars jumped out to a hot start. To all my Jewish friends, Happy New Year.
And speaking of dropping balls, Trevor Lawrence had four fumbles. I would walk 500 miles, Sanders rushed for it to close it, and the Eagles dug Peter's son, their former head coach.
Eagles, 29, the Jacksonville Jaguars, 21. In a clash between Houston and Los Angeles, the Texans were all lost in the supermarket as Eckler scored twice.
General Mills attempted to hook up with Raisin Brandon Cooks and Chex Burkhead with a side of O.J. Howard for breakfast.
But it was Bryce Crispy's Callahan and the Chargers D who had other plans. Chargers fans are much like Billy Football chanting, let's go Brandon, as their coach finally has things back on track.
Chargers 34, Texans 24. Up to the balmy tundra, where, stop me if you've heard this before, but a bunch of people from Wisconsin were happy for Zappy Hour.
As a third-string quarterback, all assured a Packers win. But Zappy Gilmore had other plans as someone learned how to hand off Chubbs.
Patriots fans never expected to be in this game and were singing, If you're zappy and you know it, clap your hands. As the underdog New England forced overtime, it was not to be.
But put on a zappy face, Patriots, because if it makes you zappy, then why the hell are you so sad? The Packers 27, the Patriots 24. To the desert where Jerry Judy was very fast in honor of Yom Kippur and had a six-pointed star when he found the end zone.
Amik Mill Robertson is having a dream of a season continuing Melvin Gordon's nightmare when he returned his fumble for six. Josh Jacobs DeGrom

was seen eating at a Chick-fil-A outside of Atlanta, but for now he's still on the Raiders

as he chopped the Denver D up. Some are saying Nathaniel can't hack it as the Broncos fall to

two and two. Raiders 32.
Broncos 21. What? What? What? Standing on a corner down in Winslow, Arizona, such a fine sight to see.
It's Kyler, my lord, and he's looking adorbed, running like he stole my cell phone from me. He's just a toddler.
Matt Rule's a waddler. Keep Cliff Kingsbury away from your daughters.
Cardinals 26, Panthers 16. And that was week 4 Brought to you by our friends at Chevy The new Chevy Silverado is commanding Unstoppable and powerful It's always truck season here at PMT But now it's also tailgate season With the Chevy Silverado Brought to you by Chevy Silverado Learn more at Chevy.com And tell them PMT sent you.
You get $100 off your brand new luxurious Chevy Silverado. Week four in the Bucs as we watch the Bucs get absolutely whomped by the Chiefs.
Are the Chiefs back? Yeah, I think the Chiefs are fully back. Also, I think Tom Brady's nose job isn't enabling him to get enough oxygen.
And so he's just looking completely feeble out there, just clueless. This is – so I still – I mean, the game's going on right now.
We're in the third quarter. We're going to get to all the other games, but we'll talk about this real quick first.
Bad strategy to fumble the opening kickoff and let Patrick Mahomes score like five seconds into the game. That's number one.
Number two is Patrick Rahomes. He's, I know that we joke like everyone goes over, overstates how incredible he is, but he has made a couple plays tonight where you're like, this is fucking stupid.
Yeah. Like his touchdown pass where it wasn't even, he wasn't even like throwing it.
It was almost like, here, you just take this. It was a flip.
Another touchdown. So he could have run that in for a touchdown.
Yeah. And instead he chose to just flip it over the top using almost the back of his fingers.
Yes. He's like, here, I'll get another touchdown pass in the books for myself.
But the play is like the first fumble followed by the immediate touchdown. At that point, it's like you think that the game's over.
Right. And with Patrick Mahomes, yeah, we can say that we're not going to talk and give him too much credit.
But the reality is, I think if you put Patrick Mahomes on the worst team in the league, I think they make the playoffs. Yeah.
I think he's that good. He is.
If you took Patrick Mahomes right now and put him on... The Texans.
The Texans. I think it's the Texans.
Probably the Texans. They probably make the playoffs.
The Texans are the last winless team, correct? Yeah. Yeah.
So, it would be the Texans.

Texans or the Commanders, sadly.

Yeah.

I mean, he's been incredible tonight.

I still think the Bucs will figure it out. But this is now what we had Sunday Night Football to start the season where Tom Brady looked old.

The Packers game, he looked old.

I mean, he is old.

Yeah, he's old.

He is old.

He's an old person.

But Tom Brady has played for so long and been so dominant for so long, they just threw it to what seems like a fullback. That was cool.
Yeah. That you never thought you would get the end where it's like Peyton Manning, remember when his arm was just so shot? Drew Brees, when his arm was shot for the last seven years for the Saints.
So I don't think that Tom Brady's arm looks shot. No, I don't think so either.
I think his arm looks pretty good.

His offense sometimes moves in slow motion. They don't have a running game to speak of.
Well, it's not that he looks old. It's more like he got beat up on one play where he was holding his shoulder.
And it's like, dude, why are you even putting yourself at risk right now? You've done it. You're the greatest of all time.
There no reason but i guess if they if they figure this out and they get back together they'll they'll be a contender in the nfc the fact that at one point during this game they showed a close-up of blaine gabbert on the sidelines as if to say like the producers were like they were like let's get a camera on blaine gabbert that's never happened with tom brady yeah yeah there's no need to look at who his backup is and yeah he yeah, he's – I mean, it's not his fault. I don't think that's Tom Brady's fault.
His running game sucks. He's had a lot of drops out there, and his defense hasn't stopped anybody.
And I'm not going to overreact to either of these teams because I think both of these teams will be there when it's like – I would say – I would say – well, no, let's say divisional round. Conference championship, that's tough to be like both these are the final four teams.
But I would make a healthy wager that both the Bucs and Chiefs will be around divisional round playoffs. Also, it was a weird week for the Bucs with the hurricane.
So they had to practice at, I think they practiced at like the Dolphins facility or something this week. Yes.
So it's kind of been a weird week. There's been a lot of travel.
And as someone who's 45 years old, if you're traveling that that much if you're just away from home for a night if you sleep in somebody else's bed when you're 45 i imagine that probably puts some miles on you yeah it fucks you up and we'll update the game as it finishes up uh right now the bucks are about to go in to maybe cut it to two touchdowns so i have a question for you chris godwin's hurt again so yeah so this is what the buck season feels like do you think. Do you think that anybody has showed Tom Brady the meme that Antonio Brown made of Gisele and Antonio Brown yet? When did he make it? I think he made it at like 4 o'clock today.
So, then, yes. So, he's seen that.
I think he's seen it. I think someone had to go up to him.
Probably Bonner had to go up to him and be like, hey, new meme dropped. Yeah, the new AB meme is just Antonio Brown dry humping Giseelle and then just saying like what does he say in the comment what's up chazelle something like that antonio brown's on one today so or this entire weekend the entire life but yeah that was uh that was an interesting one to drop in you know what i think tom brady's so psycho that he probably if like chris godwin gets hurt or someone else gets hurt he's like yeah let's let's bring back Antonio Brown his beef was with Bruce Arians not Todd Bowles also Tom Brady is such a psycho and he's so uber competitive that probably bringing Antonio Brown into his house and then having to make sure that Giselle doesn't cheat on him with Antonio Brown like that'll up his game a little bit yeah it'll iron sharpens iron yes he'll start taking her out for nice dinners again dropping the kids off at school becoming a better uh husband and father i think that's maybe what he needs to step his game off very very uh bizarre though for antonio brown because it felt like tom brady was like the last person who had his back yeah like his only friend post like a meme of of your last friend's wife and be like haha this is funny mean, it got engagement.
I guess that's the name of the game. Yeah.
Yeah, he's very good at that. Yeah, let's hop into the games.
We had a London game, so we'll go chronological order. Vikings 28, Saints 25.
This was just the perfect London game. We were saying on Friday Andy Dalton and Kirk Cousins have played in London against each other to a tie.
This was a game that the Vikings felt like such a far superior team. And they just kept on trying to blow it in a million different ways.
Yeah. England got exposed to what may be the most important part of American football is, which is screwing over the saints.
Yeah. The referees.
Yes. So NFL rigged even overseas.
They thought it's easier to get away with the calls overseas. The Saints got fucked.
They got fucked. They got fucked hard.
Twice. That Adam Thielen call, and I guess you could say it was a very professional move by Adam Thielen to reach around, grab the Saints defensive back by the face mask, and pull him into himself.
And it happened before that play, too, because it was, I think it was Tyron Matthew got hands to the face call where he just made a block at the line of scrimmage they called the hands to the face it extended the drive it was a third and seven they were getting off the field the saints got absolutely screwed and this is one of those games that you never apologize for victories in the nfl but the vikings like if you're a vikings fan you watch that game kirk cousins wasn't very sharp though it wasn't primetime. It was the anti-primetime.
It was fucking 930 in the morning. It was breakfast hours.
Yeah, it was breakfast hours. And that game, like, it felt like the Saints just kept on doing things.
Like, here, you take the game. Let me fumble right before half.
Let me fumble again. And the Vikings just wouldn't close them out.
And you almost had it go to overtime. Will Lutz going with the double doink so we finally had another true a true double doink left left side then in the middle crossbar um yeah that was fun too I need someone who's good at physics to explain to me how that ball didn't go in too because it hit off the left upright and then it seems to still be making its way back as it hits the back of the crossbar and then just reverses course and bounces forward.

That was so exciting, though, for the British fans

because there's nothing they love more than the kicking game over there.

If you watch the Mexico City game or if you watch any of the London games,

any time they go out for a kickoff, like I personally, you know me,

I love the touchback on a kickoff.

They fucking love a touchback on a kickoff.

And the field looked good. the Tottenham Hotspurs,

did you see the, um,

all time,

uh,

the,

the,

the,

the,

the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the know me, I love the touchback on a kickoff. They fucking love a touchback on a kickoff.
And the field looked good. The Tottenham Hotspurs, did you see the all-time, you know, we're big fans of whenever they change it from hockey to basketball.
They're the first soccer stadium that is NFL ready. So I think they're just waiting for an NFL franchise.
But it was weird because when they showed the transformation, it was similar to a hockey basketball where the soccer field,

the real grass, they just completely remove that,

and then there's a complete turf underneath.

And it's like, okay, you're ready for the two games a year that you play?

Different turf, yeah.

Great job.

Did they do the Russell Wilson, like the first American football pass?

That would be cool.

I would like to go see that, see who got the privilege of throwing that. Also, Andy Dalton, not bad.
Andy Dalton looks hot now, by the way. Second half.
His hair, incredible. The beard, he had a major glow up.
Yeah, he played well in the second half. The Saints are basically on no Michael Thomas, which, duh, always.
No Camara, which you pointed out that maybe he just can't go to england yeah i don't know what the laws are like extradition well not extradition but he's he's currently on uh on bail yeah or awaiting trial for whatever you might have a felony out in las vegas yeah and so their entire backfield was dudes in their 30s playing football with uh andy dalton latavius murray markgram and Taysom Hill and it's just like they hung around in the game and I I the Saints I still don't like I I think they're booty but then they'll do they'll they'll stay in games like this and their defense plays well enough I don't think they're booty I don't think the Saints are no lost now to they've lost to to the Panthers who are definitely booty I you know what I would say the Saints they, they're schizophrenic. I have them as my tough teams, where you have to bring – you know that you're going to play real man football when you play against the Saints, but they're not super talented, and so they probably won't beat you.
I would say schizophrenic, because they've got Jameis, who is one type of quarterback, then Andy Dalton, who is like the complete opposite of Jameis. Total opposite.
In every single way. Then you have Tays tasem hill who somehow is also the opposite of both of those guys yes yes but and none of them are the same so tasem hill he was doing the thing i i swear to god he tries to run into people's faces oh yeah like he aims for linebackers faces even around the goal line he's a right he's a heat seeking seeking missile for a face exactly so he'll just like put his head down he does targeting on every play.
If he was a free safety, Taysom Hill would not last longer than two plays in any given game. But he was fun to watch over there.
He's running the ball pretty hard. And then the field goal at the end, Willa Lutz made, what, a 60-yarder? Yeah, something like that.
I think he made a 60-yarder, and then the 61-yarder came up just short. I was really hoping for a tie.
I wanted to see another tie between Cousins and Dalton. It just feels right.
And then after the game, you know, we can have a discussion later about Zach Wilson and his gritty. No, I wrote this down.
I think it's up there with Hurricane Katrina for worst things to happen to the city of New Orleans. Kirk Cousins gritty.
Yeah. Against the Saints.
Yeah. It's like just an abomination.
You remember when Pat Boone covered Little Richard, Tutti Frutti? Yeah, of course. That's the equivalent of this.
Yes. Who could forget? I mean, that's a seminal moment in rock and roll history.
I know what it is, but people are going to be like, what? No, look it up. I know what you're talking about.
I'm saying a lot of listeners are going to be like, huh? Yeah, so basically what Kirk Cousins did to the gritty is exactly what he does to steaks yeah he took all the seasoning off of it was it's so bad basically boiled the gritty and and lukewarm water he didn't even boil it he just marinated the gritty in water and you know what's crazy is that like it wasn't like chef he did the gritty and tore his acl and that didn't kill the that was cooler and that didn't kill the gritty and kirk cousins he is, he and Zach Wilson doing it today. It's the first time where I was like, I think I'm set.
I think I'm good. See, I liked Zach.
I think Kirk Cousins killed the gritty. Yeah.
And then Zach Wilson brought it back. Yeah.
So it was dead for a couple hours. It's tough.
And Justin Jefferson, by the way, he is back. He had a crazy day.
Felt like every big play they needed, he was there. And so now, yeah, the Vikings are, what, 3-1? And going to probably beat the fuck out of the Bears next week.
And the Kirk Cousins truthers have a nice day. But, again, if you watch the game with your eyeballs, he's still Kirk Cousins.
And it was the 9-30 game. And he loves to run into the back of his offensive lineman and take a sack.
Yep. I think my favorite thing about Kirk Cousins is what he does at the start of every game

when he goes out onto the field.

And I don't know.

He's got some signal that he's doing.

Maybe he's telling them to reset the play clock or whatever.

But he does the point up into the air, and it kind of looks like he's trying to do disco.

And it's just so sad.

Yes.

It's just very sad.

But, I mean, good for Kirk Cousins.

How much money did he make today?

Probably like $6 million. Yeah.
And he won a game in England. Yeah, good job.
Which he had previously not done. He just tied him.
I don't know if he had played before that. I also thought of this joke just right now, and I don't know if it makes sense, but I'm going to say it.
Okay. Did you see all the people in the stands, like how drunk they were over there in England? It's crazy how they got that drunk in Tottenham Stadium even though they don't have any cups.
Ah nice you're a soccer person you can tell me if that joke is actual yeah i don't know if they're all cups um yeah the tottenham doesn't win yeah they don't win they don't basically hardware that's the joke yeah they don't they don't have anything in their trophy uh case i'm trying to figure out they played paid uk taxes on those game checks okay find that out for us that us. That's very important.
It's going to judge how I enjoyed the game. I will say, the London game, remember when it was introduced 15 years ago, or whatever it was, it feels like forever? I have now fully embraced it.
I love it simply for the moment that the game is ending, and it's like, oh yeah, but now we have all the football real football. That's the moment that I look forward to.
Cause I, it is kind of in the, like, it's a little bit of a chore on a Sunday morning. You're like, I know I'm going to watch football all day.
It's like, now I have to watch this game. And if it's not great, whatever, but then you get into it, you suck yourself into it.
But that moment when the game ends, you're like now all the football, it's the best, the best field. This day really day really emphasized how much the NFL just owns me.
Oh, yeah. It owns my entire life.
Oh, yeah. It owns America's life, really, because you started your day watching football at 930, and then you're like, oh, I got to watch more football because there's more football coming on.
Yeah. And then after the more football is done, you're like, oh, I got more football.
And then there's even more football after that. So really, the NFL held America hostage today for about 13, 14 hours.
Yeah, they stole our Sunday mornings. And there's nothing.
I put up the weakest resistance possible. I was like, I guess I'm going to turn this on.
And then I turned it on. I was like, nice, football.
That was my entire, we will resist, all those people on Twitter. We must resist.
I would suck at that because i'd be like football's hot you know what i did i just i i laid in bed and i watched about the first half on my phone and then i ordered breakfast to get delivered then breakfast got delivered i picked it up and i went and watched the rest of football on my couch and i was like that's my big move for the day yeah is going from the bedroom to the couch huge huge um okay let's get to the uh rest of the slate bills ravens the ravens have done it again two times so far this year where they've come out to a huge lead they're up 20 to 3 going into the last two minutes of the first half everyone was talking about how great the ravens looked the bills did look like they were sleepwalking the beginning of this game and then uh Josh Allen took them on so the Bills started the game they had one interception one fumble two punts a field goal and then Josh Allen went on a 76 yard touchdown drive with 147 left in the second quarter and that was like that I that was the turn in the game because then the Bills come out. It's 20-10 instead of 20-3, and they had an insane second-half defense.
And they win this game, and the Bills win a one-score game. They did it.
They took our advice. Yes, they did it.
And they got worse at football in order to get better at football in the long run. So the Ravens at home have actually lost their last five games.
Yeah. I didn't realize that.
Because remember that stat I threw out that was like – At the end of the season last year. They lost all their games.
Yeah. They had like nobody.
And then the Bills – so I didn't realize this. The Bills have only allowed seven second-half points this entire season.
That's crazy. So the Bills' second-half defense is like unpenetrable.
Yes, they're incredible. The thing is sometimes they got, they get out to giant leads and sometimes they get out to big deficits.
So the Buffalo bills officially, they've won a close game. They've won a game that maybe they weren't expected to win.
At least if you looked at it after the second quarter. Yeah.
And Josh Allen, by the way, was he was Owen seven in his career when trailing by 17 points, which makes sense because you're trailing by 17 points. The last Bills quarterback to overcome a 17-point deficit.
Doug Flutie. Nope.
When I say it, it's going to actually be funnier because it's just so him. John Beck.
E.J. Manuel.
No. It was Ryan Fitzpatrick in 2011, but here's the Ryan Fitzpatrick part of it.

He did it in week two and week three in 2011.

I love it.

So he did it in back-to-back games.

That's what got him the contract, too.

It was like, when I saw that set, I was like, of course he did it in back-to-back games.

That's why the Bills opened up.

That's why they backed up the Brinkstruck.

Yes.

Yes.

Everyone's going to talk about going forward on fourth and goal.

Yes.

So fourth and two. Fourth and goal on the two, 2020 game with four minutes left, and John Harbaugh decides we're going forward.
Yeah, and I don't hate the call, honestly, because their logic was, so Harbaugh explained it after the game. Harbaugh does weird shit, but at least he always has an explanation.
He has like a solid rationale, even if his rationale is sometimes wrong.

So after the game, he was basically saying that if we had kicked a field goal,

then we would have made it, what did he say?

He was talking about like third versus fourth downs,

basically saying that Josh Allen is going to fuck us up the ass

if we kick a field goal.

So I'm paraphrasing what he said.

That's basically what it was.

He was like, if we kick a field goal, Josh Allen is just going to go down the field and win because our defense can't stop them so like that's that's just the fact like they've mounted this big comeback we can't get them off the field we don't we don't want them to have an opportunity to win the game on this final drive but the bills just went ahead and took it anyways and then when they went back down the field uh they actually they did what Nick Chubb should have done a couple weeks ago. They got down.
Singletary got down. You could sense almost that Ken Dorsey was about to lose his shit up in the field.
Thank God we didn't get another episode like that. I don't know if America's children at home watching would have been okay to see Ken Dorsey flip out like that.
Stuck with him forever. I'm surprised Ken Dorsey's still employed, to be honest with you.
Yeah, that's all I can think about. It's disgusting.
Is that time. What week was that? I don't even remember.
Oh, it was last week? Okay, cool. Was it? Holy shit.
Yeah. That was last week.
At the very end when he smashed the tablet and then ruffled up the papers angrily. I've seen that meme thousands and thousands of times as of today.
Yeah. Not at all.
So at the very end of the game, Singletary did the right thing got down then boom field goal i i feel like for the um people who are upset uh at john harbaugh and i i kind of get like hey it's oh like bad weather game take the points like play some defense you know what i mean but that's the ravens you can't do both like they when lamar jackson and John Harbaugh, that clip where they're like, hey, should we go for it? He's like, yeah, let's go for it. Everyone's like, love this.
Love how they're coaching this team. You can't then be like, oh, you got to kick the field goal.
That's how they're wired. They're wired to go for those situations.
The one thing that you don't want is for Lamar Jackson to throw an interception there because he did – in Harbaugh's explanation afterwards, he was like, we want to pin him back and make a play. Obviously, they get it out at the 20 instead of on the two-yard line, which does change the analytics of it if you give it to him on the 20.
But that's how the Ravens play. I was not shocked at all that they were going for it there.
Lamar, his second half was very, very bad compared to his first half was incredible the bills just played great defense second half i also just that lamar play that everyone's like this was crazy it was crazy when he got out of that sack but then he does throw a few balls where he's just throwing it up there and it's like i hope this works and it did happen to work but it also could have easily been picked off i think most good quarterbacks do that sometimes they throw the ball up and they're like i'm gonna get the ball downfield and we'll see what happens i'm gonna trust my guy to make a play i just couldn't tell if people were saying this is such a little crazy lamar play because the pass i thought the getting out of the sack was incredible the pass was like this is a very risky pass oh yeah do it 10 times it gets intercepted 10 times yeah no the pass itself right it just like bounced all over the place was very lucky to get off a bills player um the bills are a different team when they have poor you're playing yeah defensively yes so that turns out that was a pretty big deal when he's out also matt milano their linebacker he's the new kiko alonso yeah if you wear a matt milano jersey to a buffalo bills tailgate you better you better pack the penicillin. Yes, facts.
I'm trying to think what else. Oh, Marcus Peters and John Harbaugh got in a fight at the end of the game.
I don't know if you saw that. I do think that losing two games like they've lost, both the Dolphins and the Bills, it does feel weird.
It feels like something's wrong. If you're a Ravens fan, you can be like, yeahar's incredible he's having an incredible year but also something is wrong here i don't know if it's you can't put it entirely on their defense though like the dolphins game you probably could yeah be like this is just dog shit defense uh but this time the the offense has to be able to sustain a drive well no the dolphins game i still thought as bad as the defense was it's like lamar has to the offense has to figure out a way to ice games away that matters too I also think it's weird how a lot of teams have just like completely played an entire other division already yeah through four weeks of the season so the Ravens have played every team now in the AFC East yes is that right yeah and the Jets have played every team in the AFC North that's that's so weird that's too fast for me you got to space that out a little bit.
I'd agree. It's very bizarre that they did it that way.
It's like almost a non-conference schedule for college football. Yeah, I don't like it.
I don't like it. Do better, Goodell.
All right. I think the Ravens are still a very good team, but this was the perfect remedy for the Bills because they lost that game against the Dolphins, which I still can't believe is only one week ago.
Everyone's like, holy shit, how do you lose that game?

To come back, and they looked like they had no life in the first quarter.

The first 20 minutes of the game.

To then come back and win this game the way they did,

you're like back fully on track.

And dispel the narrative of you can't win close games.

So the Ravens did one thing that I absolutely love it when teams do this.

Right after the game, they announced, we're going gonna have a press conference tomorrow at 3 p.m. yeah 3 30 yeah and so everybody's like oh my god Harbaugh's fired yeah the Bills Dolphins was a week ago not the Ravens Dolphins no I know Bills Dolphins but I still don't that makes no sense to my brain I think there's so much shit goes on during the week that it's like wait that was only seven days ago but yeah but yeah everybody is freaking out like is this harbaugh i'll just say for the record if harbaugh gets fired i think there are probably three or four teams in the nfl that would fire their coach tomorrow yep just to hire john harbaugh i would be one of those people the uh no but then everyone replied they're like yeah he always has a press conference on mondays.
Okay. But everyone is freaking out about it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just love it when they say that.
Yeah. Okay, next up, Eagles, Jaguars.
That was funny. Wasn't it, Max? That was funny when the Jaguars went up 14-0.
Everyone was like, damn, sharp bet. Jaguars.
It was classy of the Eagles because their fans also gave Doug Peterson a standing ovation when he came in there. And Jason Kelsey gave him, they did a jersey swap.
They did a jacket swap. Yeah, jacket swap.
Hot seat, everybody that likes to bring. Anytime you hear somebody say, oh, Eagles fans, oh, they threw snowballs at Santa Claus, I want you to counter them immediately with, oh, yeah, they gave Doug Peterson a standing ovation.
Yes. I tweeted there was a good sports town.
I had hundreds of replies of people giving me examples of them being a bad sports town, but you got to say when they do that. What were some of the replies? Oh, they're like, what about when we killed Michael Irvin, basically, and then everyone was cheering him coming off the field? They're like, I've gone to a bunch of games in Philly.
I've basically gotten harassed and almost beaten up and killed just for wearing an opposing jersey. I brought my five-year-old to a Phillies game, and they told him he couldn't even sit down, stuff like that.
But they cheered for Doug Peterson. I'm not saying that, but people were saying that when I said they were a good sports fan for doing that.
The only thing I'll say about the Eagles, and by the way, just to align ourselves as a podcast, I did put a future on the Eagles earlier this i put i put a decent amount of money on them to go completely undefeated you had some fomo you saw how much fun if max and i were doing the eagles chant today but they only have to get they have to go 17 and 0 for this to hit if the eagles go 17 and 0 i will i will be a rich man yeah i will be a very rich man so you're so you're you're kind of on the eagles. Yeah, I guess a little bit.
But the thing about the Eagles is I was looking at their schedule. You could say that they haven't played anybody, Paul.
No, it's kind of haven't. But then you look at their future schedule and the Eagles aren't going to play.
No, they have the easiest schedule in the NFL. They play anybody all year.
You also I would push back on that. They haven't played anyone because everyone had the Vikings as their dark horse as well.
They haven't lost. The Vikings haven't lost except for the Eagles.
Yeah, that's true. Good point.
Eyeball test on the Vikings. The Jaguars, everyone was talking about going into this.
It was the same thing every week. It was the same thing every week.
No, it was us. It was all of us.
It was all of us. We apologized for the Lawrence.
It's fine. It's fine.
I haven't played anyone. It's fine.
No, I mean, I liked it because the Eagles basically toyed with it. They're like, oh, you don't think we can play from behind? Cool, we'll spot you 14, and then we'll just fucking ram it down your throat, run the ball, play defense, do it every which way.
Trevor Lawrence, yeah. So I still think he's a good quarterback.
I'm not going to just knee-jerk all the other way, but maybe he's a bad-weather quarterback because four fumbles and an interception. I tried to find out.
I was thinking about all his Clemson games, and I found the 2018 ACC championship game against Pitt was raining the entire game. He was 12 for 24 for 118 yards.
So can Trevor Lawrence not play in rain? He's got to learn how to play in the rain. Also in that game.
He's a big Kurt Warner guy.

Very bummer of a game to like go and look at the box score because it was one of those years that Clemson won their side of the ACC.

And then the other side was like the worst conference ever.

And Pitt went to the championship game at seven and six.

They lost for I think it was 42 to 10. Can he pick its stats in that game? Just take a guess.
Take a guess. They scored 10 points.
Can he pick its stats? Pitt did? Yeah, Pitt. Can he pick its stats in that game? Rain it.
Rain. A lot of rain.
7 for 14 for 60 yards. 4 for 16 for 8 yards.
Oh, my God. That's tough.
Wait, did he fumble the ball though? No, I don't think so. They got a couple picks.
So his hands might be better than Trevor Lawrence's. I'm just excited because we can start a narrative, a new narrative of bad weather guy where we can just bet against Trevor Lawrence.
What are Trevor Lawrence's hands? I don't know. Find it out.
I think he's got big hands. I'm looking it up.
That was a lot of fumbles. You know what I think? I feel like long-haired quarterbacks aren't good in the cold weather.
Yeah. As we know, they don't win Super Bowls.
Yes, that's true. As a long-haired guy, when it gets cold outside, if it's raining, my day is ruined if I step outside and I got my hair wet.
Yes. It sticks to your neck.
You're uncomfortable. You have to peel it off from your face.
He doesn't want to do it. No, I feel like that actually does make a difference for long hair guys so i'm looking up his hand size right now he's the first player this century to lose four fumbles in a game i just like this century stats they're always fun he's got 10 inch hands which that's big no yeah they're decent they're decent that's pretty big right so i think it's just the hair yeah so he's got longer than 10 inch hair jake put that in the file trevor Lawrence, maybe bad weather quarterback guy.
I'm looking at their schedule now. Obviously it's always going to be warm in Florida.
So unless it rains, they play in Seattle. They play at Indianapolis is the next room game road game.
So if the roof is closed, probably fine at Kansas city could be tough. Okay.
We need some rain in mid November for some rain at Detroitroit dome or roof at tennessee in december could be brain tough and then at the jets on thursday night oh that game's gonna be great 22nd yeah yeah rain how'd you know that uh because tony conn we he was get he was pretty pumped that we were gassing up the jags uh so he's like summer 20th jazz jets yep because i was like we can't go on a Sunday to a Jags game. Right.
And of course they gave, unfortunately the Jags. So he was like, December 22nd.
Jags, Jets. Yep.
Because I was like, we can't go on a Sunday to a Jags game. Right.
And of course, they gave, unfortunately, the Jags, their only primetime game was December 22nd. There you go.
I'm just going to announce right now, I'm going to take the under on that game. Yeah.
Everything about it, December 22nd, Jags, Jets, Thursday night. Under.
And it's going to be a gross game. I still think the Jags are a good team.
They should pay me money to watch that game. Their last road games at Houston.
Okay. Only like three road games.
Okay. So that's good for them.
Yeah. So I still think the Jacks are a good team.
They're just the Eagles are a better team. Yeah.
So I'm, I'm looking at the Eagle schedule. The Eagles really have one hard game.
That's it. I mean, the Cowboys are good.
So they have two. Yeah.
Yes. I guess, I guess the Cowboys are okay, but Dak might be coming back.
Okay. Which might be subtraction by addition.
That's true. So besides the Cowboys games, they have the Packers.
They play the Packers at home. Okay.
Listen, you are what your record says you are. They're the last undefeated team.
It doesn't sound like you're that much aligned with us because you're still hating, finding a way to hate. Wait, no.
What I was just doing right think the eagles actually might go into field right but the way you were delivering it was you know no i was i was looking at the schedule being like yeah the eagles no that's different what you're doing right now i like that this is literally what i was doing two seconds no no no you took it the wrong way no no that was different you were you were reading it the wrong way you you did a different tone you do the do the second you were reading it the wrong way because the whole point that I'm trying to make is People will listen and be like, that was a different tone. Way different tone.
Max, Max, turn your microphone off, Max. No, no, no.
Max, turn your microphone off, Max. I'm just saying.
Cut your mic off, Max. I'm just telling you.
Cut your mic off, Max. Max, you're not going to go Philly on me.
Don't get mad. It was a different fine.
I was literally saying that the Eagles have a chance to go undefeated because they're not playing anybody good. Yeah.
Except for the Packers. Yeah.
That was the entire reason I brought that up. Your record says you are.
I'm looking forward. You're looking forward.
You're looking back. I'm looking forward.
I'm saying they could run the table. All right.
That was a better tone. Teams just look bad after playing us because we make teams look bad.
Yeah, right. Like that's – everyone's saying Vikings so good.
Now Vikings stink. Everyone's saying Jags so good.
Now Jags stink. That's fine.
That's fine. I want teams to look bad after playing us.
Yes. And that's fine.
Facts. Okay, so yeah, that was it for this game.
Trevor Lawrence, though. I'm going to watch that.
That feels like something we could maybe make some money off of. Just sucks in the rain.
Let's just hope we're like – Just a bad weather guy. Yeah, bad weather guy because he hasn't – I mean, is he from Florida? So I think he's from Florida.
He looks like Sunshine. He played at Clemson, played in a lot of good weather.
I think when I was looking it up, there was a lot of quotes for when he – He's from Georgia. When he had play at bc for and it was really cold and there was a lot of we're okay about the cold where it's like you're talking so much about the cold weather i think you might be worried about the cold weather so we need to find out actually has trevor lawrence ever seen snow ever in his life i love quarterbacks that like blake bortles are a good friend yep when he was at ucf he was like no i've never seen snow is wet.
And so snow is wet. He didn't realize that.
It's just water that happens to be frozen. I need to know if Trevor Lawrence has ever actually seen or played in snow.
Yes. Okay, before we get to the next game, Game Time.

He was 10 for 13 with three interceptions.
I looked it up, and I couldn't find anyone who's had at least 13 pass attempts and not have any of them hit the ground. Well, he also had two rushing touchdowns, which no rookie quarterback has ever done in their very first game.
So Daniel Jones did it a of years ago, but that was the second game that he got into. He played a little bit, I think against the Cowboys.
Yeah. So can he pick it? I actually think that a rookie quarterback coming into a game at halftime, you always hear like, oh, we want to, we want to prepare our guys.
So usually teams do it if they have like a bye week and they give them a lot of time to work. I actually think that sometimes it's better if you just put your rookie quarterback into the game and then if the play goes to shit, if they get lost out there, see what they can do with it.
And Kenny just scrambled for the end zone a couple times and got two scores out of it. Here's the thing with – I feel bad for Mitch.
It wasn't working. It felt like the Steelers needed a spark.
And yes, Kenny threw three inter he provided a spark like he made whether you want to say uh you know oh he didn't have a great game because of those three interceptions he at least was making things happen couple touchdown drives I think one of them came off of a uh uh pick so it wasn't really a long drive it was like five yards but like things were happening good and bad but at least things were happening where i think some of the people who were upset about mitch was it felt like a lot of passes to the flats screens dump offs punts and nothing was happening yeah he gets in there he tries to make a play at least right exactly sometimes sometimes sometimes mitch plays like too much inside the playbook right. And so one thing you can say about Mitch is he handled the whole thing like a professional.

He's a great guy.

So after the game was over, he's like, yeah, obviously I would like to be playing, but this is the reality.

Yeah, he's a great human being.

That's why it's always kind of hurt that it hasn't worked out for Mitch because he is a very likable person.

Yeah.

And it just hasn't worked out.

But Zach Wilson returns, Billy. Yeah, Billy.
So your boy, your prodigal son, he's back. He had a pretty bad interception.
Well, that, if you look at it, it was a little bit of they may have either ran the wrong play into the wrong zone. And basically, I think Elijah Moore on the outside was supposed to clear out that safety by running a go route, but he stopped.
I think there was a little bit of miscommunications. It was a bad pick.
That's on communication. But Elijah Moore and Zach Wilson had two amazing connections back-to-back.
You could see the offense getting into the swing of things. His second pick, he was trying to make a play under pressure, pocket collapsing.
It was tipped up and caught. But the one stat I want us to focus on is the Zach Wilson return is in the final drive, the game-winning drive.
He went 5-for-5 for 57 yards and put together a game-winning drive. That is all you can ask for.
Down 10 in the fourth quarter, two long drives to come back and win. That was awesome.
I mean, the New York special got a steal from Felix. I think we just did it better.
First quarterback in Jets history to catch a touchdown pass. Great stat.
Did the gritty. Got the team going.
Look, the offense. I was always saying in the offseason, they're starting to look electric.
That's an offense having fun. That's how you win football games.
Look at Kansas City right now. They're having fun out there.
They're celebrating. That's a fact.
You know, I'm ecstatic. Listen, if you're a Jets fan, that's how you win football yeah look at kansas city right now they're having fun out there they're celebrating fact you know i'm i'm ecstatic listen if you're a jets fan that's like that comeback win and the steelers are not good they're not good but it doesn't matter because if you have a young quarterback those are the moments that you can look to and be like yeah that's our guy like that could be a guy right there because of how he played in the fourth quarter.
And our defense. Stellar.
Defense looks good. Stellar.
Yeah. I do think the Steelers, it's weird how bad the Steelers are.
The Steelers are going to have that effect on me, though, much like the Patriots. No, TJ Watt.
Where over the next two seasons, if they're average or below average, I'm just always going to think that they're good because they're the Steelers. They're always good.
The Steelers are probably in danger of going below 500 for the first time. I would say this.
Mike Tomlin took over the team. Definitely going to be below 500.
Their schedule, I think, is very difficult to coming up. Which it doesn't make sense in my mind that the Steelers could be one of the worst teams in the NFL.
But how happy do you think Ben is? Very happy. You guys needed me.
Yeah Like, it's not Mike Tomlin. It's Big Ben.
So Big Ben definitely is sleeping tonight with his cell phone with the ringer on. Just in case.
Just in case Kenny needs some tips. He doesn't think that he's going to get a call, but just in case, he's going to leave it on.
Just if the Steelers want to give him a call and see if he's able to stop by for practice. Yeah.
Just, like, kick on Big Ben for a second. Yeah, this game was a must win for the Steelers because their next four games are at Buffalo, against the Bucs at home, at Miami, at Eagles.
That's tough. They probably won't win any of those games.
It's the NFL, so who the fuck knows? Maybe, yeah, okay, let's say they win one of those games, but I think that most Steelers fans would take one, one and three in those next four and be like, yeah, that was crazy. We won one of those games.
Yeah, absolutely. So they're, they're bad.
They're going to be bad and they're not going to have a good season, but like the Jets and Zach Wilson, like the Steelers, if you're a Steelers fan, your priorities have just completely shifted of let's just hope Kenny looks good. Let's hope he's the guy.
And what happened with Zach Wilson today, like that was a guy drive in the fourth quarter. Big time.
That was 100% like, okay, if he can do this, that gives me a glimpse of a guy. Yeah, I was happy for you, Billy.
You were going crazy. You were yelling like it was the Super Bowl, but that's how you should act when your young quarterback does something like that.

I mean, there were so many ways this game could have gone with him coming back.

In the back of my head, I was like, well, you know, he could just be Mr. I&T again.

And you know what?

This was the greatest outcome.

If you told me this in the beginning of the season, that he was going to get hurt, he

was going to come back, and he was going to play some type of way, this way would have

made me more than happy.

Yeah.

I mean, the last two things that Zach Wilson has done, he banged his mom's friend, and then he led a fourth quarter comeback against the Steelers. I'd say things are trending in the guy direction right now for Zach Wilson.
Yes, absolutely. Big-time guy watch.
Dog. Dog.
It was also just as an aside, Billy. Zach Wilson, him.
It was very cute watching because when we're in the office, the gambling cave isn't like there's enough seats

for i don't know 10 of us so there's a bunch of guys who watch the other bank of six tvs so when

you came in to watch the jets game you didn't know which tvs were faster than the others so it was

very cute watching the jets win the game and then you celebrating like five seconds later it was

just i don't know i just enjoyed it i was it was like it was like getting to watch it when someone

does a periscope and they're behind so he's like oh a big play happened i can hop on periscope and

Thank you. like five seconds later.
It was just, I don't know. I just enjoyed it.
It was like getting to watch when someone does a Periscope and they're behind.

So he's like, oh, a big play happened.

I can hop on Periscope and watch the reaction.

It was like the Jets won, and then I could look at you going crazy, and it was fun.

It was a fun moment.

Yeah, yeah.

That's what football's all about, those little moments when you think

your guy might be a guy.

Oh, Lenny scored.

Thank you, Lenny.

Awesome.

There we go.

Promised it for the people. Got it.
Touchdown's coming. Okay, next up.
Falcons, 23. Browns, 20.
Speaking of, I think maybe they probably do want Deshaun Watson to get back soon. Yeah, that'd be nice for them.
I think the Falcons, though, the big story for me is the Falcons. The Falcons could very easily be three and one if not

four. No.
Yeah, the Falcons are

kind of risky. They're frisky.
They're above.

I think they're above frisky. I think

I think the Falcons are exciting. Yeah.

Yeah, no, they're I mean, they're fun to watch.

Wait, what were their what was their

other loss to the Rams, but they

you that one was a loss. Yeah, probably

lost. They had an opportunity.
They hung around.

No, they came back. Yeah, they're they came back, but they had close but they had a chance to win that game, though, is what I'm saying.
Probably 3-1, though. They should have beaten the Saints when they played them week one.
Then they Falcons the entire thing away. But the Falcons, they're an exciting team.
Also, Arthur Smith, I got my eye on you. I think I got a little crush on him.
He did something in this game. Now, this is crazy because when you play the Browns, you expect them to just run the ball down your throat, and there's nothing you can do about it.
And the Browns, I don't know what Kevin Stefanski is doing. He had a couple times where he was in the red zone, and it was like, dude, just fucking run the ball.
You have Nick Chubb. He's incredible.
And they got cute, and they came away. I think they had two red zone trips where they came away with three points.
And that was kind of the difference. I want to read real quick.
These are the plays called and the result in the third quarter and maybe going into the fourth quarter. This is from the Falcons.
Ready for this? Run left end six yards. These are all in a row.
Run left end six yards these are all in a row run left end six yards

run left tackle five yards run right tackle 14 yards run right end nine yards run left tackle four yards run left tackle seven yards run right end 14 yards run right tackle 10 yards run right tackle five yards run left tackle five yards touchdown yeah they had entire drive 10 10 plays in a row all runs then they started the next drive with another four runs in a row the only reason they didn't run the they stopped running the ball was marcus mario to fumble the snap yeah they arthur smith said you guys can't stop us we're gonna run 14 times directly down your fucking throat you don't have miles garrett or javion clowny and there's nothing you can do about it. And God damn it, do I love a coach who does that.
Because it's not sexy. It's not special.
He's literally like, this is the one thing you guys can't stop right now, and we are not going to stop doing it until you figure out a way to stop it. And I also love how he's completely bucking our advice and being like, you know what, I'm not going to throw the ball to my receivers all the time.
I'm not going to take the two biggest guys I have on the field and get them the ball. I'm actually going to just run it down their throat.
The entire drive, it was actually so fun to watch. And what did you say, 10 plays in a row? It was 10 plays in a row.
So it was 14 straight offensive plays with a run call. But that one drive was just soul-sucking from the Browns.
There was nothing they could do. And yeah,, obviously, like, Myles Garrett not being in the game.
That probably had something to do with it. No, but that's what.
That was the second worst drive in Myles Garrett's week. Yes, yes.
But that's like, I don't know. There's a lot of coaches that don't think that would.
They'd be like, oh, we've got to mix in a pass because we don't, you know. One, if we lose this game, people are going to be like, why didn't you pass it more? And two, you've got to just keep them off balance no no we're it's it's the green bay power sweep like we're they're not gonna stop it so we're gonna keep running it and then they score a touchdown and yeah the falcons are fun to watch and i arthur smith i got my eye on you bro and i think our boy the boy is going in on tuesday to uh try out so yeah i don't know what you do about this because they're 2-0 since offering Will Compton a workout but not actually having him work out.
Maybe you just push it off. Maybe you just punk him and you're like, hey, can we reschedule for the next week? You have him show up for the workout and then just a big bucket of water falls on his head when he walks in the door.
I think maybe their defense, they've got a fire lid under them.

Because it was like a sign of disrespect to the guys that they have in-house.

It's like, you guys are so bad that we're actually going to call Will Compton to come in and work out and maybe take your job.

The guy's fat.

And then everyone's like, oh, fuck, we better run an extra couple miles.

Maybe cut out the donuts this week.

Yeah, he just, like Will Compton, literally just did a case race on the Yak and showed the world that he's got a tiny dick. Like, do you want him to come in? Wait, what? Well, I mean, he was in his boxers, and it wasn't.
He wasn't working with a lot at the time. Well, all I know is that.
I love the guy, but he'll say it. All I know is that, like, the threat of having Will Compton come into the facility is probably worse than just having Will Compton in the facility.
Yes yes i think it's more motivational and better for your team although he is he is an all-time vibes guy so if he gets in maybe they're just like maybe they go from frisky team to like hey we could win it all because he is that type of guy who will get you believing you could win it all he is that guy yeah is that guy yeah oh yeah dude he had everyone believing that nebraska was going to be good this year i literally watched so many videos where will compton was telling me that scott frost had it figured out i bought in i was like nebraska scott frost this is the year do you know how bad nebraska's been that's he's like a cult leader he could sell anything the guy is a salesman he knows how to get the people going i think maybe you bring will compton in just to cut him and then to have the rest of the team be like we're gonna do this for will for will for will yeah we loved him yeah let him stick around for a couple weeks so he like he will become best friends with like half the locker room yeah and then he'll he'll bring the vibes in without being on the team right tell him like park his little bus or whatever i think they do like a podcast out of a van which is kind of fucked up. Just have them park their little van outside.
Yeah, and boom. Done.
Falcons Super Bowl. I mean, what? The Falcons are going to be tied for first place in the NFC South? Yeah, Falcons.
No, they are, right? Yeah, because the Bucs are going to lose this game. The Bucs are going to be 2-2.
Falcons are 2-2. Saints are 1-3, and the Panthers are 1-3.

They're tied for first in the NFC South with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

That's crazy.

But now things are going to get tougher for the Falcons.

I think their schedule gets real bad.

First place up for grabs next Sunday.

Oh, they're playing the Bucs.

Yes.

Okay.

Good luck, Arthur.

Yeah.

You might not be able to run the ball 14 consecutive times against the box. Yeah, okay.
That one makes me nervous. But, hey, who knows? Crazy.
Will will get them believing that they're going to win this game. He'd be like, Tom Brady who? Will would be an outstanding cult leader.
Yeah. No, that's what I'm saying.
Do you know how hard it is to get people to believe that Scott Frost is a good coach? He did that to me. How crazy is that? That's insane.
Just give the boy a workout. Yeah.
Give him a quick workout. Just get him in the door.
Just get him running around. Throw him a ball.
Throw him a tennis ball. Let him grab it.
I don't know. Do some of those drills.
Do the drill where you toss the tennis ball up in the air and they have to go around the cones and grab it. Are you talking about a dog thing and a dog punt? No, no.
This is a football drill. This is a football drill.
If I were them, I would... I think it's a punt block, special teams drill.
All you got to do is you get one of those long, you know, those big sticks that have the curvature at the end so you can pick the ball up with those. Yeah.
And then you just throw it across like a pile of wood chips and then have them bring it back to you. Done.
He's really that done um okay falcons good win browns i did it actually is nice it restores order where it's like i was starting to think that jacoby brissette might be a legit like hey this guy could start all season and they could be really good and then you there's just moments you're like nope no i don't think so i think he is like a perfect backup though perfect i think if if he started 10 games for you he would probably win for them yes which is that's that's all you need but you might start three and one might start three and one or you'll you'll have one stretch where you might go holy shit like yeah you might go three and oh yeah of course of any given like four game or three game stretch but uh yeah jacoby percent there's probably a reason why he hasn't become a starter. Yes, yes, yes.
Okay, next up, Cowboys 25, Commanders 10. The Cowboys are good.
The Cowboys are good. Go ahead.
The Cowboys are good. No, I want to say Mike McCarthy has done an incredible job this year of motivating the guys.
I read an article about Mike McCarthy's strategies. He's doing Tattoo Thursdays with his boys where everybody,

one person gets up and shows their tattoo,

talks about the history behind it for the entire team.

He also has them.

Sounds like a cop move.

Yeah.

He has them.

He has them studying.

That's a big time like FBI move.

What does that tattoo mean?

Yeah.

Okay.

Any other markings that I can,

you know,

figure out who you are?

Nate Newton's here and he's going to explain to you what the teardrop means.

Yeah.

Okay.

So if I ever needed to find you,

I don't know. markings that i can you know figure out who you are nate newton's here uh and he's gonna explain to you what the teardrop means yeah okay yeah so if i ever needed to find you i'd know that you have a big tattoo here yeah yeah that's a that is an all-time narc move by mike mccarthy he also has uh them studying this thing called kintsugi every week and kintsugi is i'm not making this up uh it's a Japanese pottery art thing where you break something.
And then as you like,

read, And Kintsugi is, I'm not making this up. It's a Japanese pottery art thing where you break something, and then as you reheat it to bring it back together, it becomes something new and different and better in terms of piece of art than it was before.
It's pretty cool. And so he's saying that that's our motto this year is resilience.
And after he started talking about resilience being their motto, that's when they had all the injuries uh they lost their tackle they lost their quarterback and now the team is being rebuilt in the japanese pottery that is cooper rush in his image yes so cooper rush not bad their defense really really good really good michael gallup being back was nice to see i the last time we saw him it was right before uh i had put a big bet on the Cowboys to win the Super Bowl. He tore his ACL like four minutes later.
So it was good to see him back. He is a definite, like, adds an element to their team that they were missing.
Yeah, I think the Cowboys are good. The tie-dye hat looked very funny on Mike McCarthy.
It looked like he had just, like, spilled a bunch of Slurpees on it. But far as the commanders go they stink nothing new really nothing new to report out of washington defense not as bad as it was last week against the eagles um but they're just they've gone to being like i i've almost reached the point where i don't feel anything it's just numbness that's a good point to be just yeah it's okay i'd rather be at the numb point than i would at the like disappointing everything hurts point um carson wince taking sacks left and right offensive line very very bad defense again not as bad it would actually didn't i think he got sacked like two times today but it was like a million mental sacks so he had two yeah he had two sacks but he also had two intentional groundings right he had theings that he didn't need to take.
He was, again, getting anxiety during plays and just freaking out. I think Carson kind of wants to be put out of his misery.
If you gave him, like, if you injected Carson Wentz with truth serum and you said, would you rather just get benched and sit for the rest of the year on the sidelines? He'd probably say, yeah. I don't think he likes playing football.

No.

I think he's afraid every time he gets on the football field that he's going to do something embarrassing,

which means that if you have that mentality, you will do something very embarrassing.

He should have just –

Like not target Terry McLaurin for the entire game.

He should have just – the minute he did the wink week one, just been like, all right, that's it for me this year.

That was it.

That's as good as it could get.

That was as high as he was going to get. A wink.
If it were me personally, I would try to throw the ball to Terry, though. Yeah.
Occasionally. Yeah.
I mean, he has no time, but yes, I would agree. Yeah.
And that's all I have to say about the Washington Commanders. Okay.
Yeah. And I think the Cowboys are legitimately a good team.
I don't know if great, but their defense is very good. And Cooper Rush is now 4-0 as a Cowboys starter.
First time ever in Cowboys history the guy has started 4-0 to start their career for the Cowboys. I don't really know what else to say besides their – I would definitely put the Cowboys in the tier of if they can kind of figure it all out.
If Dak comes back and looks okay they're they're they're they're in it they're in it their defense is good so if Dak comes back and has like even a small amount of weakness in a game people will be asking Cooper Rush oh yeah already the Skip Bayless's of the world are saying that Cooper Rush should be the starter yes um that's like that's dumb it's like Cooper Rush has played very very well uh but when Dak back, you know that Jerry's like, I'm paying this guy all this money. Yeah.
He's going to start for me. But also Jerry is like, he does love people talking about whether or not Cooper Rush is a better quarterback than Dak Prescott is.
So he'll continue to make little like through the media, he'll make little like winks and nods towards Cooper Rush being like, you know, two good quarterbacks yeah on this roster for right now and i really do hope cooper rush um doesn't he's going to take the big money from someone and someone's going to convince themselves that he's going to be the guy and it's going to go spectacularly wrong um just try to figure out a way to maximize being a backup because you've you've bought yourself a chase daniel like career yeah it's your you've been that good but you know like he will some texans or i some team maybe the bears will be like hey let's get cooper rush let's give him like let's give him like 50 million dollars maybe we'll only guarantee 30 and see if he can do it and he won't be able to do it because he won't have the same, you know, skill players, and he is Cooper Rush, and it will suck for him. Maybe the Seahawks.
Maybe the Seahawks. You know a team will do it.
The 49ers, they're going to be in a weird place with their quarterbacks this offseason. Yes, they will.
So one more thing with the commanders. I think I've reached the point where I'm officially prepared now for a coaching search this offseason.
I don't think that they're going to bring Rivera back. I don't know if they'll fire him in the middle of the season or not, but I don't think that he's done anything to warrant having a future as the Washington Commanders head coach.
Yeah, it feels like you guys had momentum a couple years ago, and it's gone completely backwards ever since. Yeah, that's kind of how things go.
Yeah. Yeah.
Okay titans colts titans 24 colts 17 we said this last sunday and i looked it up again the odds right now they're not even the odds on favor to win the afc south titans are plus 170 to win the afc south this is like the titans winning this game and having everyone be like oh the colts you know the before, they were the team. The Jaguars look good.
I think the Titans are just going to find a way to win this division because that's just what they always do. So as far as the Colts go, they have they continue one of the weirdest stats in football where it's very, very easy to figure out the Colts are going to win the game or not and that is if uh Taylor has 100 yards yeah and he was yeah he got bottled up big time if he had if he has 100 yards they never lose did he have them last week against the Chiefs I'm saying they never lose when he has 100 yards last week I think was the first time that they've ever won without when he doesn't get 100 a hundred yards.
I don't, I think he had like 60 or 70 last week,

but in the last like 71,

71.

Yeah.

And the last like year and a half,

I think he's,

uh,

it's just magic for them.

Like you get him a hundred yards,

boom,

you're going to win.

Uh,

the Titans,

I think are going,

yeah,

they're probably going to win that division.

Like,

it's just crazy.

I was,

because there's nobody else like the Jaguars.

Maybe.

Yeah,

maybe,

but,

but,

but it's the Titans.

Mike Rabel always has the T like whenever you just, it's just basically been the same thing for whatever it is, four or five years now. You doubt the Titans, and then they win.
That's just how it goes. I said on Friday that Derek – I forgot Derek Henry in the 2,000-yard rush.
I had people up my ass all day. Yeah.
And they probably used that to win. Because – Like, it's just any type of – Titans fans hear any type of little bit of a slight not just the fact that i'm an idiot and have shit for brains and they're like they forgot about the titans they probably sent it to mike vrabel and he's like they forgot about us we're gonna go win yeah well that's just how easy it is the titans also they make it very easy they give us the ammo sometimes they losses.
Yes. In games that they should by no means lose.

And then we obviously have to doubt them.

So it's like it's a vicious cycle that in the end it works out to benefit them because they do feed off us.

And then they end up proving us wrong eventually.

But they give us plenty of ammunition to work with.

Yeah.

That's what I'm saying.

So their next games, they're playing the commanders.

Then they have a bye.

Then they're playing the Colts.

So that's weird. You know, they play the Colts twice in three games.
And then they play at the commanders then they have a bye then they're playing the colts so that's weird you know they play the colts uh twice in in three games and then they play at the texans they could easily be five and two going into a tough stretch i'm just saying if you want it plus 170 is it's now because it might not be there if they do roll off a few wins here so um let's talk about the coach real quick frank reich he was brought in to be the quarterback guru right that's what he's known as the quarterback whisperer is he a whisperer or guru or i don't know what you can call him but that's what he was labeled as when i brought him in like fix what's going on in a quarterback position um he's only had an offense that's finished top 10 and passing one time yep just one time that was 2018 yeah that was his very. That was his very first year.
You know, the quarterback was that? Andrew Luck. Andrew Luck was the quarterback there.
Hank, overrated. He made Frank Reich good.
Frank Reich's a bad coach. Yeah.
He was fine. I think they've been in, like, the 20s in their passing offense since 2018.
Well, he was rated as the best quarterback of all time, but he wasn't, so yes. Frank Reich, too, is a good sense whenever we talk about a team and like hey why aren't people saying like frank right might not be a great coach he should get fired and then i had a lot of colts fans being like dude we've been saying this for a very long time so i think they're pretty fed up with him yeah and uh it feels like maybe even ballard too because ballard ballard has ballard ballardard has gotten a lot of good publicity because he drafted well at these offensive line with Quentin Nelson, Darius Leonard, who's Shaq Leonard now.
He's hit some home runs, right? But then you're like, wait, he never figured out the quarterback position. It's a pretty big part.
Kind of important. Jonathan Taylor, great pick.
Like, he never figured out the quarterback position. So he almost bought all this time because he got everything else kind of set.
So everyone's like, every time you talk about the coach, they're like, their roster's good. They're quarterback away.
Yeah, their roster's good. Well, the quarterback kind of is the most important position in all of sports.
Yeah. Probably should figure that one out.
I think that Frank Reich is an example of height privilege in this country. I think if he was short, if he looked like Matt Rule, I think he would have already been fired.
Also, the gray hair just gives him a gravitas. He looks studious.
Yeah, you always see a guy like that, and you're like, he probably knows more than everyone else. He's got the professor vibe going on to him.
He wears glasses. Yeah.
I'd take financial advice from Frank Reich. Yeah, if Frank Reich had like a pencil thing goatee and wore a smock and was five foot seven like matt rule and spat on himself gone he'd be fired gone but instead he's a big dude who looks smart so they're like he'll figure it out i trust him yeah no he is the type of guy where it's like you you you want to just like go up and shake frank reich's hand slap him on the back and the back and be like i'll i'll have your daughter home by 10 30 sir yeah like that's him so yeah you're right you don't fire that guy you don't fire that guy just say sir and thank you because you probably trust him yeah right like he probably leaves his office nice and clean yeah pleasant smell around the facility says hello to everyone probably brings flowers for people on Fridays.
Knows everyone's name. Yeah, nice guy.

Really nice guy.

Brings cake for the janitor on his birthday.

No one knew that it was his birthday, but Frank did.

Yep, yep.

He's a good, solid guy, but a bad coach.

Yep.

Also, Matt Ryan has 10 fumbles on the year, which seems like a lot.

It is a lot because he's been averaging.

So he has, I think it's nine fumbles, three lost.

And his career average is six fumbles, three lost for a season. So that's a lot.
That's a lot. He also, Matt Ryan is getting to the point where when they show him on Red Zone getting sacked, it's like they should put up like the do not like graphic.
It should be the sensor that you see on tweets and Instagrams when you're about to watch someone die. Like, do you want to, do you opt in for this violent experience you're about to witness? Because every time he gets sacked, the ball goes flying, his limbs go flying.
Like it's a car. He's a, he's a, he's a, a crash test dummy behind center getting sacked and his limbs are being ripped

off.

So I don't know if red zone could do that,

but I would like the opt in so that I don't have to watch Matt Ryan get

dismembered every time he plays football.

You know,

it's bad when,

when the Washington post,

a newspaper based out of Washington,

DC has an article that just says Colts,

Matt Ryan on pace to shatter season fumble.

Oh yeah.

Oh yeah.

That's not good.

That's not good.

It's going to get shattered. It puts him on pace for, for 38 fumbles.
He's probably not going to have 38 fumbles. But the NFL record is...
Dude, I don't know. The NFL record is 23.
He might. I think he's going to shatter the record.
I don't know if he's going to get 38 fumbles. Every game, you'd have to think that they're stressing like, hey, hold on to the football.
He's like, like I wish I could but when I get hit by these guys now uh it's either hold on to the football or like I'm gonna shit myself and have a heart attack like he's gotta let something go in the NFL you get old pretty quickly and then but getting old is just realizing how dangerous it is to be playing quarterback in the NFL so like up till point, Matt Ryan was pretty good at maintaining confidence, moving around the pocket, avoiding hits occasionally. Now, for whatever reason, it hit him this season all at once where he's like, oh, my God, there's 300-pound guys that run at 4.940s that are coming to take me out, and he just panics when he's back there.
Yeah, no, it's tough to watch. It's bad to watch.
I do like the idea, as much as we've jumped down Frank Reich's throat about what he's done at the quarterback position, I like the idea of Indianapolis just being the place where old quarterbacks go to die. It's like their last time.
It's purgatory before they retire. They get to get, and it's really nice, too, the way they do it because they get all this preseason and offseason pump.
Everyone like pump yeah you know everyone hypes him up like oh they're quarterback away here comes phil rivers here comes matt ryan so they get that moment like carson wentz he's he's the solution so they get that moment where everyone's really excited for them and then it obviously goes tragically like horribly terribly bad except phil rivers did remember he almost beat the bills in that playoff game like yeah he would be he would be the success story and it wasn't that successful but they get that moment where everyone feels good about him they get their press conference everyone's like yeah this is great we got our guy and then just they get demolished yeah just i like the idea of it being nfl hospice yeah for for. Yeah, put it out to pasture.
I'm just glad that the Rams got to Matt Stafford before the Colts had a chance to. Because it would have been sad if Matt Stafford had joined the Colts.
It would not have gone as well. It would be very funny if the Colts just leaned into all this and were like, Flacco, you're up next.
I was going to say, Flacco is probably the next one, right? Yeah, let's go. If we're looking forward and figuring out, okay, who's the most Colts-like quarterback for them to pick up this offseason? It's Joe Flacco.
It has to be Joe Flacco. It's Joe Flacco 100%.
I don't know who else it could be. I'm going through the list right now in my head.
No, it's Joe Flacco. Joe Flacco, yeah.
It's Joe Flacco. Maybe Tannehill.
I don't think he's old enough. Maybe.
I mean, Derek Carr would be perfect in like three years yeah he'd be

perfect in three years because you know that he'll get he'll get sacked violently yeah when he gets

up he's gonna get oh i mean yeah if you give him like until this contract is done kirk cousins yeah

would be a perfect quarterback perfect colts quarterback and then and all the fans will sell

themselves yep it'd be great um okay so yeah titans plus 170, plus 170. Take a look.

Giants 20, Bears 12. I've been calling for the triple option.
Unfortunately, it happened to the Bears. The Giants rushed for 262 yards, and they threw for 71.
They just rammed it down the Bears' throats. But the good news is Justin Fields had 11 completions, which is almost half as many as he had total going into this game.
And the last play was objectively hilarious, and I counted two absolute dimes that he threw backwards. Other than that, the Bears stink.
I think Justin Fields is actually better at throwing the ball backwards than he is forwards. Without a doubt threw that across it probably went like 40 yards in the air yeah and went like 15 yards back but that was pretty sick yeah and and the giants deserve a ton of credit they won this game running wildcat out of necessity in the fourth quarter because daniel jones got hurt and tyra taylor got hurt um and they just were like all right well they did a couple series where daniel jones was like a decoy and they're like fuck it the Bears can't stop us we'll just run it down your throat with Saquon being quarterback and then we'll kick a field goal and uh in a very Bears fashion uh this is like most people don't even know who this is but uh Vilas Jones the Tennessee wide receiver who everyone was like oh my god great pick he's so fast this is gonna be great he hurt himself in uh uh camp and then he finally made his debut today he was the guy who muffed the punt before Justin Fields had a chance to uh possibly he wasn't gonna bring him back but maybe yeah that was like hey we could have this moment a Zach Wilson moment where maybe he'll back.
No, the guy that we've all been waiting to come back, you know, and has this crazy speed, he muffed the punt, game over. The Bears suck.
I really didn't understand what the Giants were doing when they were bringing Daniel Jones in and putting him at wide receiver. Decoy, yeah.
Like, why do you even have Daniel Jones in the game? Because that is, I guess it's probably because when they practice their wildcat packagecat package they probably have Daniel they like move him out there and they run the play from that position pass back they could pass something weird like that um but I don't think that they have a package ready to go that's just like no Daniel Jones or no yeah no quarterback on the field at any given time and even when Daniel Jones was in the game um he's definitely like a one read and if he doesn't see it it, he just runs. And he ran all over the Bears.
And he ran all over the Bears. And he's so funny to watch him run because he's actually pretty quick.
Daniel Jones for his size especially. Remember when he had that run a couple years ago and he tripped on the 18-yard line? When he was on that run, he reached the fastest speed of any position player that they tracked in the NFL that year before he before he tripped over so he's pretty quick but when you ask him to do anything like turn he becomes the most uncoordinated person in the world yes so he's awesome when he's a straight line much like dk and then when you ask him to do anything he's like a dog that's running across a hardwood floor that then hears the can opener go off in the kitchen yeah and he does like three steps in place when he's trying to gain his footing and he just falls down.
Yeah. He's a deer that sees the lights late at night and just freezes and then just sprints.
Yeah. Deer on like a frozen over lake.
Yeah. And then you see one guy go out in the lake.
Yeah. Yeah.
RIP. But yeah, it is.
You're right. It's exactly what he looks like.
It's exactly what he looks like. And the Bears actually did something that is crazy that I agree with this, but they punted the ball on fourth and two midfield with three minutes left because they're like, the Giants don't have a quarterback.
And then that muff punt happened. So, yeah, they suck.
And Justin Fields, guy meter, I'm at like a one and a half out of ten. You had a couple nice passes today, though.
A couple nice. Also, I don't think you could – the defense could literally hold up a card saying we're about to blitz, and I don't think he would know.
He wouldn't get that. Like, day blitz, when you blitz up the middle on Justin Fields, he's like, whoa, what is this? You guys didn't tell me.
This is unfair. Like, I think Justin Fields is playing backyard football where it's like you only get one blitz every four downs yeah but he and so when you do the second one he's like this wasn't part of the plan but yeah it's a guy meter very low he also because i already know the bears suck i knew they sucked even though they were two and one um we do have a fun stat that we can track all year that jake i'd like you to get in it's the uh race for 166 and you might be saying what's 166 well 166 is the lowest amount of completions that I could find of a starter in 16 games okay Doug Williams did it in 1979 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who went on to win a Super Bowl so maybe that's destiny.
But right now, Justin Fields is on pace for 145 completions this year. So he's far off.
He needs some more. Wait, when did the Tampa Bay Buccaneers win a Super Bowl? No, no, no.
Doug Williams. Doug Williams.
No, I'm saying Doug Williams went on to win a Super Bowl. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So maybe that's Justin Fields' destiny, which wouldn't surprise me if he went somewhere else and then won a Super Bowl. But that is, hey, if your team's going to suck, you might as well break a record.
I don't know which side I'm rooting for, actually. Yeah.
I think maybe for him to break the record. I saw enough glimpses today where I feel like they should have him pass the ball more.
Yeah, he made a couple nice throws. He can get the ball downfield, which is, like, he can do it.
It's a problem right now of asking him to do it. Yeah He made.
Why are they afraid to ask him to do it? Well, all right. So the problem is he he really like it feels like it's first reader bust.
And then, you know, he had there's two in my mind, one that was like a dart right over the middle and then a deep ball, I think, to Mooney that was like, OK, this is this is he's showing flashes of the guy and then everything else in the offensive line sucks. I know that he doesn't have weapons.
I get it all. I'm just, the guy meter is as low as it's been.
And I will hopefully go back up, but now hopefully he's chasing, you know, just beat Doug Williams, 166. That's the number we're going for.
We got it. I do think that, uh, as far as coaches go, Dayball is the best.
Oh, yeah. I actually really like him.
So the weird stuff where he runs out of the Wildcat for the rest of the game after he's missing his first two quarterbacks, neither one can really play the position. That's something that most first-year head coaches would just shit themselves if they were put in that position.
They would screw up the ruin everything dayball was prepared for it also he's a bald guy that was not wearing a hat in the rain which he's a fucking psycho yeah i love that about it's a very intimidating look on his part like a wet rat like dude he just yeah you look at him and that's a that's a man that will headbutt you yes yes um so he's doing like all these weird small things correctly that he has no business nailing as a first year head coach like there has not been any learning curve on the small tactical parts of the game whether it's like clock management substitution stuff challenge stuff he's doing every single small thing perfectly and so not only that but the you know the giants are better than the bears the bears stink but like similar similar to Arthur Smith, he was like, hey, you know what the Bears can't do is they can't tackle and stop the run. So we're going to game plan to just run the ball down their throats.
Like Daniel Jones, here's something nice to say about Justin Fields. He actually, the opposing quarterback, he had over 100 yards more than the opposing quarterback.
That's pretty cool. That is cool.
Cause Daniel Jones was eight for 13 for 71 yards. He got injured obviously, but they're also, and this is going to sound bad, but this is the NFL.
So it's like, you know what? It's a man's league. I know the two a thing and we'll get to the JJ watt.
It's very clear. The giants are like Daniel Jones.
Isn't our guy. So let's just make them run a bunch.
If he gets hurt, what does it matter? We're going to be finding a quarterback regardless. Let's try to win some games using his best asset, which is his feet.
Yeah, and when Tyrod came into the game, they kind of did the exact same thing. So that's how you can tell.
It's like the game plan for your backup was the exact same as the game plan for your starter. And they were both game plans that should be for a backup.

Right.

Because it's not he's not coming in being like, I'm going to fix Daniel Jones.

I'm going to make Daniel Jones great.

No, no, no.

Daniel Jones is what he is.

So let's just do the things that he does well, which is run the football.

And if he gets hurt, well, we're going to draft a quarterback anyway.

It sucks to say for Daniel Jones sake, but it's pretty clear that they're like, we don't really care about like we're not thinking Daniel Jones for the

Thank you. he gets hurt well we're gonna draft a quarterback anyway it sucks to say for daniel jones sake but it's pretty clear that they're like we don't really care about like we're not thinking daniel jones for the next 10 years we're thinking let's try to win some games change the culture then we'll get a quarterback also daniel jones could be a perfect backup too yeah he does he's got all the he's got all the qualities of a perfect backup quarterback yeah so i i give credit to the giants they and one, which is crazy to say.
Has there ever been a quarterback that's been drafted in the first round by a team? And they both like the team and the quarterback have kind of mutually reached the agreement and the understanding that, yeah, you're not going to be the starter. And then that guy sticks around as the backup on that team.
Yeah. Like if a quarterback is willing to cock himself.
That was kind of Mitch's last year with the bears yeah i mean that would be it would be a perfect scenario for daniel jones to stick around in new york but some stupid team will probably jump in and pay him a ton of money and daniel jones nice guy but it goes back to the theory like you can look it up i mean you quarterbacks that are just average in college football don't go on to be superstars yeah you don't really't really figure that out all of a sudden. Yeah, right.
It's not like, oh, shit, now I'm the man. Yeah.
Okay, let's go to a really fun game, Seahawks-Lions, Big 12 shootout. Yeah, I actually think that the Lions are the most exciting team in football.
And I'm not just saying that. I'm not just saying that because of hard knocks and that we got to know some of the guys on the team we love dan campbell all those are true i think that the lions are just straight up exciting football because i think they lead the league in points per game yep and i think they lead the league in points given up per game they are big they are like the the the worst version of oklahoma which is actually this year but, like, they are so much fun.
And we should have said, sorry, Scorigami. Yeah, congrats, Jake.
Scorigami, Jake. Shirt available on the Barstool store.
It's being pictured right behind us on the green couch. Let's go, Jake.
Scorigami. That was such an exciting moment.
Yeah, it was crazy. And the more points, the more flexibility because the score changed a few times in the last few minutes, but we were still in the green zone.
So I got a question for you, Jake. The green zone.
I like that. And this was pointed out to me.
I got to figure out who tweeted this at me because I want to give them credit because they had a very good point. It was, listener, BTC won.
Every score of GAMI. Yeah, it gets closer to not having any more.
Does that make you a little sad like it it is it is kind of it's a fun moment just enjoying the right it means that you're one way away you're one away from never having a score gami again yeah billy is very confused by this billy so there's a fine way to live life i'm i know i know i'm just asking right it's like if you trade away five first round picks present. I'm just asking.
Is there a small part of you that walks away being like, well, there's one more leaf that died. It's a winner.
Okay. It just makes it that much harder to earn.
Yeah, okay. All right, good.
Billy, I'm going to explain this here really easily. Numbers are infinite.
So, Billy, if that's true. That is true.
That's true. So, if one day we make touchdowns worth, like, 30 points each, then, yeah, we'll have scorigamis at the castle.
Offensive game is changing. If you watch the Chiefs-Bills playoff game, you'd understand there are an infinite amount of scorigamis in the future.
Yeah, I did. I missed that one.
There's not. I was busy.
I was watching my dragon show. One day everything is going to get more intense, faster, stronger, and more points.
Okay. I think I said this last year.
I think rule changes with scoring are going to come at some point in the next, like, 30 years. Like, make touchdowns worth different points? Maybe that, or I've always said, kick off through the uprights equals one point for the kicking team.
Okay, so I've heard that one for a while, too. Like, why not? I don't think that they're going to do that one.
What I think they, they should do is safety should be worth four or five points. It's so hard to get a safety.
So rare. Listen, that's what I'm saying.
Like it's, it's so hard to get a safety. I feel like the reward, the juice isn't worth the squeeze almost like two points.
That's nothing. It's, it's fucking impossible, especially because refs hate calling safeties.
They make you get like the entire ball has to be right out of line. Like it's very, very tough for them to call that.
So that's one that I could see changing. Scores could keep going up.
Yeah, you're right. How many games, Billy, do you think off the top of your head, because this is to my next point, in the NFL have had over 100 points scored? I'm looking at the most scored ever.
Actually, I think it's like six. There's four.
Four games over 100, which is kind of crazy. Oh, yeah, six.
Sorry, there's a tie for four. So, yes, there's five.
Five games ever that have gone over 100, which is crazy. The highest scoring game was Washington 72, Giants 41 with 113 points.
In 1966, yeah. If you don't think we're going to get back to those levels.
Maybe we will. What was that Monday Night Football game? That was – Chiefs – Are you talking Chiefs-Rams? Yeah, that was third all-time.
105 points. I think it was 54-51.
54-51. So this brings me to my next point.
Eventually, Jared Goff will retire, and it will be our job as friends of Jared Goff to try to get him into the Hall of Fame. And I found a stat that we should be standing on our soapbox for.
Jared Goff has now been part of three of the top 20 highest scoring games in NFL history. Incredible.
That's pretty cool. Yeah.
That's pretty cool. That's pretty impressive because a quarterback, their job is to score points.
Score points. Now, it gets a little – it's tough because there's three quarterbacks that have been part of 90-plus games, Jared Goff being one of them, Drew Brees, Hall of Famer, being the other.
Carson Palmer also was part of three 90-plus games, which is crazy. Carson Palmer, he could sling it.
Yeah. He also – I was looking it up because I started going down a rabbit hole.
One was Carson Palmer versus Phillip Rivers. That makes sense.
Then Carson Palmer had two games over 90 points against the Browns. Do you want to guess the quarterbacks he played against in those? Because it's fun.
It was Browns-Bengals. I'm going to guess.
Early to like 2004, 2007 are the two years. 2004, 2007.
We didn't? Nope. No.
Colt McCoy. Nope.
It was too early for him. Kelly Holcomb? Kelly Holcomb.
Let's go. It was 2004, 58-48.
And then Derek Anderson was the other. Okay, yeah.
51-45. First balls.
That's fun. That's fun that Karst Balmer was in three games over 90 points and two of them were against Kelly Holcomb.
Dude, Kelly Holcomb was good. Now, this is hurting my Jared Goff theory, but let's just go back to that.
Three games that are top 16, if you want to really get down to it, of the highest scoring games in NFL history,

have featured Jared Goff.

That's pretty impressive.

That's pretty impressive.

I do think that we need to point out, though,

and we can discuss the Hall of Fame stuff separately,

Jared Goff is legitimately good.

Yeah.

He's good.

He's taking the lines.

He's scoring.

Again, they're scoring the most points in football right now.

Yeah.

Big Cat, quick pop quiz.

Who's scoring more points per game as a quarterback?

Jared Goff or Patrick Mahomes?

That would be Jared Goff.

That would be Jared Goff.

That would be Jared Goff.

Quick pop quiz.

Who's scoring more points per game?

Aaron Rodgers or Jared Goff?

Oh, that'd be Jared Goff. That'd be Jared Goff.

Jared Goff is scoring.

His offense is scoring.

They're the number one scoring offense in the NFL.

Also, it proves our theory that the Detroit Lions can lose to any team in the NFL by

Thank you. goff jerry goff is scoring his offense is scoring the number one scoring offense in the nfl um also it proves our theory that the detroit lions can lose to any team in the nfl by three points yeah i mean they shouldn't have they can lose to the eagles by three points yeah and they can lose to the seahawks by three i wanted to bet the lions today and then i looked at it i was like wait they shouldn't be four point four and a half it was six earlier in the week point favorites against anyone.
Their defense is not good and they just play weird games that always

end up in the last minute we're like what's gonna happen they are the lions god bless them have now become like a special part of everyone's sunday because it's when every of the one o'clock games ends the lions are still playing and it's like they're an onside kick away. Yeah, and you know what's awesome? We're going to get to watch this Lions team on Thanksgiving.
Yeah. You're going to have something to look forward to.
That first game on Thanksgiving has always been against the Bills. Oh, I was going to say, if it was the Bears, I'd kill myself.
That's going to be a lot of points. There's going to be a lot of points.
Points of Palooza. That's going to be like a 57-point over.
That's going to be awesome. We haven't gotten to see that on Thanksgiving that much recently.
Yeah. I've got a hypothetical for you.
Okay. When it comes to the Lions, we've established that their offense is good and fun.
If you gave the Detroit Lions the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense. Super Bowl.
But you replaced their free safety with Billy.

Not Super Bowl.

Would they be better than they are right now?

The Bucs defense with Billy football at safety.

The Bucs defense had a tough night.

I can play the run.

I can play the run.

Put Billy in the box?

No, I think they would go after him pretty hard.

You think they'd attack him?

I think they'd attack him very hard.

I could shovel.

Billy would be injured within five minutes. Guys, you'd just be running past him.
They would just run four verts every time. I know, but I can dive at legs.
That's what safeties do. What about the fact that what I just said? They're just running four verts every time, and you've got to go somewhere.
Leonard Fournette's running at you. They've got to go.
You're not stopping them. You just run three guys straight, go routes, and And then one guy underneath the middle Have you seen how safeties tackle? Not as good as Billy Billy can do better You literally just gotta launch at their end The better question is how many plays until Billy gets Violently injured Three? Five yeah I'd say probably the first play I think you'd be non-contact.
You'd last? I think I could last at least a half. No.
No way. I could last a half.
You would get so excited to be in the game that you would have a non-contact injury on the very first play. You'd, like, push off and go, and then your ACL would be, like, peace.
You'd also have to start, like, 40 yards behind because you'd just get, like, blown the top off. I definitely couldn't cover, but I think I could.
You think Leonard Burnett wouldn't injure you? I would dive at legs. Easy as that.
I mean, why hasn't anyone thought of that? Okay, let me rephrase. I'd miss a lot of tackles.
What if you took the Bucs defense and replaced their... You took the worst player on Georgia's defense and put them in the starting 11 on the box lines are then super bowl yeah maybe not super bowl but they're they're a deep playoff they're a deep playoff run so the lions they just got to figure out defense that's all yeah they got to figure out defense um and on the other side uh geno smith we we joked about him cooking he actually is cooking.
So he leads the league in completion percentage. He's actually got the highest completion percentage of any quarterback ever through four games, 77.3% to start a season.
And I just think it would be so funny if Pete Carroll just keeps doing this as a fuck you to Russ Wilson. Yeah.
Because Geno Smith just had back-to-back 300 300 yard games for the first time in his career. If he's just like, yeah, Gino, you throw the ball as much as you want.
I think there's something to be said though, about like when Gino Smith throws the ball, it makes you feel better watching him do it. Then when Russ does it, when Russ does it, it's kind of boring.
Yeah, it's true. It is.
It's like boring to watch Russell Wilson play quarterback. It's true.
When Gino Smith does it, you're like, oh, holy fuck.

Gino Smith's doing that.

Yeah.

And this game also was an all-time fantasy.

Like, if you had anyone on this game, that was awesome for you.

Because TJ Hawkinson went insane.

Rashad Penny went insane.

Like, everyone was catching every Jamal Williams, DK.

We didn't even talk about DK taking a cart to go take a dump.

Yeah.

So he took it. Yeah.
DK got an Uber to the bathroom. Incredible.
On the sidelines. Reached for comment.
We have an exclusive comment from DK Metcalf about his trip. He said, quote, I had to take a shit.
Love it. Love it.
I think most of us could have figured that part out. But it's good to know.
It's so awesome. Imagine being, just being able to dial up a golf cart.
Yeah, because we all were like, uh-oh, DK got hurt. Nope, power move.
He had to take a shit. Well, yeah, what happened was they announced on Twitter, I just saw somebody say DK Metcalf has exited the game.
They brought out the cart for him. And you can go look at the tape.
We're in the gambling cave. In case DK's wondering, is PFT actually my friend? I was like, oh, my God, can someone find out what happened to dk is he okay i can finally beat him in a foot i thought he had well in in the poop cart i can't that's the only way he could beat me but uh i was panicking i was like oh my i hope he's not like actually hurt because i'll be bad i didn't want that to happen and then you refresh the timeline it's like yeah he's just going to the bathroom yeah on the golf So power move by him.
But, yeah, everyone filled the stats in this game. It was a very, very fun game.
And the Lions are fun. They are officially the funnest team in the NFL.
Another fun stat, Detroit's 281 combined points and points allowed are the most by any team in the first games of a season in NFL history. Whoa.
They're fun. They're fun.
They're a lot of fun. I like they're not good.
Yep. We found that out.
They're not good, but not good. They're close to being good.
They're fun. Hank, who are you going to be rooting for next week? Is it Lions? No, it's Lions Patriots.
Oh, Patriots. Oh, you're going to root fun, for fun, though.
Bailey Zappi versus Jared Goff is going to be electric. It's probably going to be another 40.
It's going to be another score, Gobby. Yes.
It's up 48-44. It's going to be an electric game.
Okay, next up. Jared's grown up a lot since the initial take, which was correct, but he's a different quarterback.
What was your initial take? I just said the Patriots are going to beat the Rams in the Super Bowl, and everyone got mad at me. But I was right.
Yeah. You were right.
Hank was right. Hashtag Hank was right.
You've been right about a lot of things. Stepped on the scale the other day.
You were right. Chargers-Texans.
Chargers 34, Texans 24. Do we really have to talk about this game? Well, I only had one quick note.
It was just the Texans are really bad, but still somehow they almost won the game. Yeah.
Well, they were losing for a decent amount of the game. It was like a backdoor 10-point loss.
It was 27-7. Well, it's more about the Chargers.
Like, they'll just let anyone back in the game because they did it week one with the Raiders. They were up on the Chiefs.
It was 27-7 with 5 left in the third and then 12 minutes later it was 27-24 so like they'll just let anyone back in the game uh I don't know like the Chargers have are now having a perfect Chargers season where it was all hype and everyone's injured Bosa's out for what like two months where Sean Slater seems like maybe some deer antler spray because the report is now he might come back, which I don't know how you come back from that injury. What do you have? It's a bicep.
I think he tore his bicep. He might not be torn all the way then.
Yeah, but he might be hitting up the deer antler spray. But, yeah, this game, the Texans are bad.
Texans are bad. They're the last winless team.
So eight to ten weeks for Joey Bosa was what I saw. Just say he's out for the year because he's not – we know Joey Bosa.
He's going to come back and he's going to get injured in like the first half that he's back. And the end of the Chargers season this year with the way it's going is going to essentially be bowl games at the end.
It's like, what does this matter? Yeah. So I'm out.
Yeah, the Texans, they're a bad football team across the board. Damian pierce is good though damian pierce i think he had like an 80 yard run or a 79 yard run something like that he ended up with like 170 yards rushing you always have to have at least one thing to look forward to well they have they also have just watching uh bryce young and cj stroud every week yeah that's nice that's that's really nice like you if you are this bad and you know there's two really good quarterbacks coming down the pipeline, you're like, okay, that's fine.
We'll be bad. Like, just keep – don't fuck it up.
Don't be – don't somehow win a few games, you know, towards the end where we now are talking about something else. By the way, you've got to start thinking about that too.
I think about this every day. I mean i'm i mean the bears might get back in that race too i would be very sad i've almost reached the point where i'm like i'm ready to just full-on tank yeah i'm like put in heineke because you know why at least heineke's fun yeah watching he is fun watching carson wins is depressing yeah i feel depressed taylor heineke is very taylor heineke you're gonna win some crazy games he's gonna.
He's going to be fun. But yeah, if you're in a position like the commanders of the Texans, the Texans have

actually done their, in a weird way, their rebuild correctly.

Like the Texans have really, really stunk it up.

Yeah.

And they have a ton of draft picks.

And they are really bad.

It's very hard to actually tank in the NFL because you usually end up, you know, these

guys are pros too.

And they'll play to the best of their ability. Yeah, they're'll play for the next job.
And they'll ruin a tank job. The Texans are doing a phenomenal job tanking.
Yeah. They have, okay, so next year they have two first-rounders.
Yeah. And two third-rounders.
Or sorry, no, four third-rounders. Or no, three third-rounders.
That's pretty good. And then the following year they have, again, two first rounders.
Listen, if the Texans are a stock right now, I'm buying a shitload. I'm putting my paycheck into Texan stock.
Yeah. Having back-to-back two first rounders, that's awesome.
I've never had that. Like, that's awesome.
I mean, imagine how cool it would be, Big Cat, if you just declared. If you're, like, living in Houston right now, maybe you've checked out of the team for a while.
You get to just spend the rest of this year not really worrying about how your team does. You have zero expectations.
In fact, you probably want them to lose. They're so boring that you probably don't want to watch them play on Sundays.
You get a lot of shit done this fall, and just knowing that over the next two, three years, you're going to have a great, fun team to watch the entire time. And you get a lot of shit done this fall and just knowing that over the next two three years you're gonna have a great fun team to watch yeah entire time and you get to play a little revisionist history and be like yeah that was smart that we got rid of Deshaun Watson serial predator our team did a great job identifying that Deshaun Watson yeah had these tendencies yeah and we made sure that he had the correct uh hotel reservations and security that watched over him so he didn't do it in team facilities.
Well, we gave him all this protection because who knows how many more dozens of women he would have assaulted had we not. Good job, Texans.
The Texans in this analogy are basically like the Milwaukee Police Department in 1987. Yeah.
And so I think one of those guys ended up becoming police chief. So there you go, Texans'll be good if you're texans fan just know that like 2025 is going to kick ass yeah it is yeah it is you're going to get some good picks um okay let's do last couple ads and then we'll finish up with the last three games and then we'll do a quick football guys and who's back and get out of here yeah before we get to the last couple games want to talk to you about proper number 12, triple distilled Irish whiskey.
It's an ultra smooth blend of fine grain and single malt with hints of vanilla, honey, and toasted wood. Triple distilled, aged four years in bourbon barrels until maturation.
Their founder, Conor McGregor, and his team searched for a place and people that shared the same passion for Ireland and its whiskey. He found it at the oldest whiskey distillery on the Isle of Ireland.

That's crazy.
That's the that's my homes. Yeah, that's crazy.
And fumbling the opening kickoff, which that was the game was over. Yep.
It was over right there. All right.
Raiders Broncos Raiders have a win. Good job.
Raiders. Congrats, Raiders.
Got a win. It was a must win, and they did it.
They won. They won their must win.
Season back on. They actually, which is crazy, I know the Chiefs now are 3-1, but the Broncos and the Chargers are 2-2.
Like, you're a couple wins away from being back in this thing. like it's not it's not over we don't we always overreact but you can go if you're josh daniel's be like hey we're back in this thing yeah the broncos look they look bad though they look they're very sad to watch the good news is we only have them like six more times in prime time this year yep then we get to watch them and i feel bad for nathaniel hackett in a way because the the mistakes get compounded in prime time when you're the only game that's on tv so we're gonna he's gonna be underneath the microscope with his special advisor and that's gonna be tough also they're in a tough position right now because javante williams is hurt yep who's he's awesome he's a good player uh melvin gordon's melvin gordon is their only real option at running back and he fumbles the ball every time he touches it.
All the time. So he's got, like, real bad fumble issues.
I think he's had, I'm just doing this off the top of my head, like three or four fumble sixes in the last ten games. Yep.
For whatever reason, whenever he fumbles the ball, it always gets returned for a touchdown. Shout out Garrett Boll, offensive lineman for the Broncos, making sure that he shows up on tape, giving maximum effort.
Yeah, I dove. It was comical how late he dove.
He dove across the goal line about a full second after the Raiders player had crossed it. And then he also did a thing where he landed on his knees to protect himself.
So he wasn't really trying to make the tackle, but they're going to watch in the film room. They're going to have a good laugh.
And the coach is going to be like, we appreciate the hustle. In his mind, for the first, like, 20 yards, he thought he was Ben Watson.
Yes. Corner flagging Champ Bailey.
And then he gets dusted by, like, 30 yards to the end zone. Yes.
So, yeah, the Broncos, like, the first half they actually looked good offensively. And then they just stunk.
They totally stunk in the second half. Josh Jacobs, by the way, is also – I think he's officially a Bronco killer.

Every time he plays them, he just rips off crazy runs and touchdowns.

So that was – he had 144 and two touchdowns today.

I think he's got three multi-touchdown games against them.

So that's – it always sucks when you have one guy who's like,

yeah, that guy kills us and there's nothing we can do about it.

Yeah.

And you thought the Broncos' defense going in was going to be – is. And yeah, they're, they look, they don't look good.
They haven't put together one full game where you're like, oh yeah, the Broncos look good. No, they definitely don't look like a team that was a quarterback away.
No, no, no. And maybe the quarterback hasn't helped them.
They do get to play the Colts on Thursday night, which I was thinking about it too.

We talked at length about Matt Ryan,

and it really sucks for Matt Ryan,

not just the fact that he's getting violently assaulted every single Sunday,

but the fact that 28-3 will just never escape him.

Even so, they had a graphic.

This is the never escape ball.

What?

Not Ryan versus Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson, true, true.
You're going to just relish in this because they'll show highlights of both. It's going to be great.
But yeah, they did a promo for Thursday Night Football and Russell Wilson was in it and you think it'd be Matt Ryan. They did Jonathan Taylor instead.
Jonathan Taylor. He's 28.
Russell Wilson's three. Okay.
And they had it lined up exactly that that's fucked up and it's just like he's gonna have to live with that the little subtle shit forever even remember the wasn't didn't it like a ball he threw or something going to the ball yeah it was the ball number like 283 yeah he started a trend when JMU came back against Appalachian State the other weekend when it was that was 28 to 3 he's always going to. It's just 28-3.
It's number 23, the movie with Jim Carrey, except his is much worse, actually. It's going to happen every few years, and you're going to be like, oh, Matt Ryan.
Not he won an MVP and made hundreds of million dollars and was a really good quarterback for a few years there. No, no, no.
28, three. Would you trade positions with Matt Ryan right now?

Yes.

Cause the money,

the money does the money,

but every person that you meet,

you know,

it's gotta be so weird for him because he knows when they look at you

somewhere in their head,

they're thinking 28,

three,

no,

they're going to,

they're thinking in their head.

Like,

I really want to ask him like,

so dude,

like how bad that sucks.

Yeah.

And he's like,

yeah,

it's every,

and that's like everybody that you meet for the rest of your life. And it's no one, like, unfortunately for him, Dan Quinn doesn't really own it.
Kyle Shanahan a little bit. You know, Julio Jones doesn't own it.
None of these guys. It's Matt Ryan.
He owns it. And it just is brutal for him.
28-3. And every football game that is 28-3, unless it's the fourth quarter, they're going to bring it up.
Yeah.. They're going to say.
Of course. Well, you know what happened, 28-3.

You know what happened.

Matt Ryan.

How much money has he made?

Because I'm thinking to myself, I might not trade places with him.

No, so much money.

No, so much money.

163.

All right, hold on.

I'm getting it right now.

All right, Matt Ryan.

Would I trade places with Matt Ryan?

Okay, I think the number will shock you, and it will definitely be.

Jake has it.

Yeah, you would.

How much is it, Jake? Oh, yeah, you would much is it do your guess do your guesses 163 I think it's 223 million nope higher higher 283 million higher what I'm going 400 291 291 million dollars 300 taxes, though. Yeah.
After next season, it'll be $320. $320.
I would trade. I would take the $28.
I like my life. Yeah, I would take the $28.
$3 jokes. I like my life.
That is so much money. But you know that everyone thinks that when they look at you.
Two years of podcasting. It's true.
Yeah, I'll just... Dude.
Just do episodes five days a week. Okay, let's just do a Thursday show.
Yeah. fuck it.
Game check. I need to get a new coach at Wisconsin, so we might have to.
There we go. Just start funneling the money.
Okay. Yeah, so the Raiders are back.
The Broncos look terrible. The Raiders, this is going to be an all-time hype.
Like, if the Raiders can beat the Chiefs on Monday Night Football, watch out. Is it in Arrowhead? I think so.
Watch out. That's going to be

great for just everyone being like,

watch out for the Raiders. Garrett Bowles'

tackle attempt

on the run back. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

The lineman, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We talked about that, Jake. That's okay.
I was looking at him.

Yeah, yeah, you were doing...

It's okay. These are long shows.
Yeah, my bad.

You're good. It's that couch.
Yeah,

it's that couch. If your name was Billy, we'd kill you for this, but it's your Jake.
No, it's okay. These are long shows.
Yeah. You're good.
It's that couch. Yeah.
It's that couch. If your name was Billy, we'd kill you for this.
Yeah. It's your Jake.
No, it's out. Billy loves it when Jake fucks up.
Yeah. He gets such a big smile.
He's like, this rules. Yeah.
At Chiefs. Monday Night Football.
Okay. Yeah.
They're not winning that game. No.
But if they do, watch out for the Raiders. I just want to get the watch out for the Raiders going.
There's got to be a way that we can get the Broncos off primetime games. There's so many.
As a country, will they accept a change.org petition? Honestly, I know you can't do it, but just put Mahomes on every Monday Night Football game. Yeah.
Mahomes, just have them play every Monday Night Football game. Or the Bills.
Yeah, it'd be cool. The Bills or the Chiefs.
No one would complain. No.
No one would complain. All right.
Cardinals, Panthers. I mean, J.J.
Watt releases. Two is off the hook.
That was nice. He was – J.J.
Watt got in front of that, but released that – he said that someone was about to release. It was Jay Glazer that he had a regular heartbeat and had to have have his heart shocked on wednesday yeah and that he's gonna play wouldn't that be hippo like actually hippo i don't know releasing medical information about somebody like that i'm pretty sure would be i kind of that was a power move by jj i liked that he did that you get in front of it so yes i i think it was good that he got in front of it but also i i was mad at jj when he announced this.
What were you going to say? I was going to say a joke. No, go ahead.
Say a joke. Or is it just JJ just trying to put the spotlight on himself again? Yeah, there you go.
I don't think so. There you go.
I'm mad at JJ. You're living in 2016, bro.
I'm mad at JJ for his own good. Because imagine something had happened to him in this game.
And imagine you died beating Matt rule in the Carolina Panthers. Yeah.
Is that really worth it? Like we're not talking about even a divisional matchup here. You're not going up.
You're not like sacking Matt Stafford and the defending Super Bowl champions to win a game. You're beating like Bakerfield and the Carolina Panthers yeah no I agree but I think that JJ probably asked his doctors like am I good to go and they're like yeah you're good to go it's like okay great yeah I'm playing I'm a football guy it is it is crazy and when you like think about in the macro like sense but if he was good to go he's gonna play he like he loves football after a heart procedure i probably would have been like i would check the schedule and been like okay we're playing a team in the nfc south yeah all right yeah i'm gonna i'm gonna take three days of bed rest after you've shocked my heart back into it i also wouldn't have waited four days to tell everyone i would have told everyone immediately i would have done a live stream from the fucking hospital yeah before i did I did it.
Look at me. I'm a hero.
Yeah. Yeah.
What are you going to say, Billy? His heart's just so big from all the charity he does. That's true.
That's a fact. Very good.
That's a fact. It's hard.
Yeah. I forgot, by the way.
Baker is bad. He got booed.
I did forget, though, that Ben McAdoo is the offensive coordinator, which is just funny. It's funny to think about.
You remember when they were looking at drafting Kenny Pickett this year and then Ben McAdoo just went over and he was like, let me see your hand, and just looked at his hand and started to nod to himself. Yeah, that's a good hand, baby.
That's a great hand. That's a great hand.
We should have led with this, though. The curse is over.
What is that? Big Cat. Oh, yeah.
The Arizona Cardinals have finally beaten the Carolina Panthers for the first time in franchise history yes that's true everybody's been waiting for this it's been the biggest yeah congratulations let's clap it up by the way if anyone watched this entire game by themselves just let me know and i'll send you i don't know i'll send you a present because jesus christ the it was bad it always feels like extra bad because like Kyler Murray should be fun to watch

and the game was so depressing and bad and just like the uniforms,

like color rush in this was just, everything was bad.

Here's something though we need to start putting in the tickler file, Jake.

The Arizona Cardinals through four games,

PFT, guess how many points they've scored in the first half through four games. Ooh, 10.
16, so a little more. We need to just start taking their first half under.
Yeah. I know that probably won't work.
How's their defense doing? Their defense is pretty good, too. Their defense is playing well.
After the Chiefs debacle, they've done well. Okay.
But they just don't, for whatever reason, they just suck in the first half. They just come out terrible.
I've got kind of a crazy idea. Tell me what you think about this one.
If I was Cliff Kingsbury, I would think about having Kyler Murray run the football. Mm-hmm.
Yeah. I know it's kind of wild.
They will probably get better when DeAndre Hopkins comes back, and then maybe we'll have a chance some money off that. But yeah, they're, they're not a fun team to watch.
I mean, you have one of the most electric playmakers with his feet on your team. And he, it just seems like he doesn't run the ball unless they're around the goal line, in which case he will try to score a touchdown or have to come back or have to come back.
But like, they don't, they don't call any like design or many design runs for him. Yeah.
But when a play breaks down, he'll take off.

Maybe have him run the football a little bit.

Yeah, maybe run some option.

And I do think that they had three wide receivers all under six feet.

Yeah.

They're starting three.

Yeah.

Very cool.

Speedsters.

Love it.

Yeah.

Okay.

Packers Patriots. Is Bailey Zappi the guy? I think he is.
I think he is too. If they let him throw the ball, he's the guy.
When they let him throw the ball, he's the guy. I love Bailey Zappi.
I loved him at Western Kentucky. He was an overs machine.
He was so much fun. His name is fun.
Everything about him is fun. He does not know how to play under center, which you could watch where he would just sprint as hard as he could to hand the ball off.
That's exciting, though. That's like getting an athletic freak in the NBA draft that's an 18-year-old.
It's like he can't shoot or do stuff, but he's so athletic. You can teach him that.
That's the stuff you can teach. He extends so much effort.
It looks like it takes the entire world for him to be able to get the ball to a running back who's running off tackle. He tries so hard to get back there.
But when he throws it, he is fun. I think he has the most touchdowns in a season in college football history, right? And the most yards in a season.
Yeah, so it was one of those moments that you get to be a little bit of hipster for the people who don't watch college football, the NFL fans who just like college football sucks because they're like, who's Bailey Zappii Bailey Zappi's electric like he was electric at Western Kentucky the story went reviral he played at Houston Baptist to start his college career and uh one of the retaining walls on the stadium was literally a CVS so it was like a CVS was like you literally could just like in a parking lot and then that was their stadium so that's where he played for the start of his career. Went to Western Kentucky.
Obviously, football has changed a lot in the last 25 years, but Tom Brady's entire career at Michigan, he had 4,773 yards and 30 TDs. Billy Zappi's last year at Western Kentucky, only year at Western Kentucky, 5,967 yards, 62 TDs.
I mean, he had a crazy season. I think Joe Burrow had 60, right, in his big season? Insane, insane season.
And his name is so much fun to say. It is.
Don't worry, he's zappy. Yeah.
Yeah, there's a ton of zappy puns. Get zapped out there.
Yeah. I like that.
So, Hank, where do you stand in terms of looking at Bailey Zappy versus looking looking at Mac Jones and being like which guy kind of look alike too they do look a lot alike and and I'm not you know you got to see how they play Bailey Zappi similar to Kenny Pickett and Mitch Trubisky like Mitch didn't do anything wrong Mac Jones hasn't done anything wrong but there was a spark and an energy when Matt when uh Bailey Zappi was playing today they played well they back. They were in the game.
The offensive play calling, they were just running the ball in first and second down at the end of the game and in overtime. They didn't even give him a chance to win the game, which I think he could have.
Yeah. But I had a different energy.
Maybe it was just because it was unexpected. You were expecting a Brian Horner snooze fest, and you got a Bailey Zappi energy.
But I was more excited today watching that game than pretty much any of the other games yeah that did piss me off at the end of the game when Belichick just it seemed like he wasn't trying to win at all no with his play calling yeah on not just the fourth downs where he played kind of he called it kind of chicken shit but also just like the play call he didn't trust Bailey Zappi even though Zappi had a couple nice throws out there yeah yeah running it on first and second down when everyone knows you're gonna run it and then everyone knows you're gonna pass on third down like i i knew that was coming yeah that also was such a classic like why the nfl is the nfl in the best league the patriots were on brian hoyer who hadn't started a game in like three years owen 11 his last 11 starts they go to to Bailey Zappi and they almost win the game. Like no one thought they were going to win the game.
They almost won the game. And Aaron Rodgers also threw his 500 TD pass, whatever.
He yelled at his offense. He also, he also used the F word.
Yeah. And that's got past the sensors.
I don't want to snap the fucking ball. I reported it to the FCC already.
It's bullshit. Yeah.
But yeah, the Packers, I don't know. You should be a Packers.
You barely beat Bailey Zappi. So I brought this up too when I came in, but I was thinking about it on the drive-in and the Patriots have one quarterback that's currently active.
They're going to have to sign someone. Favre.
You can't. Blake.
No, he's trying to hog all the Blakes. You're trying to get all the Blakes? You're trying to get all the Blakes.
I'm trying to get him a job. You don't get to collect them all.
You don't want him to work? I want him to work, but you're getting a little selfish with the Blakes after Blake Griffin saw him. No, no, no.
You guys, trust me. I actually wanted to bring this up because you guys know way more of these random quarterbacks than me.
Who else are they going to get? Kaepernick. Yeah, they should actually sign both Favre and Kaepernick.
Yeah. If Belichick wants to have, like, the wildest season and do the thing where he beats the game on expert mode,

get Favre and Kaepernick.

Actually, Belichick might be the only person on earth that is as bad at texting as Brett Favre is.

I think he's embroiled a couple lawsuits as well on his end.

Yeah.

But that would be awesome.

Get Favre, get Kaepernick, get Tebow.

I mean, he did have Tebow at one point on his team. I am rooting for Blake to be back.
So, whatever. You can have all the Blakes.
You're being gay. It's selfish, but you're being whatever.
I'm doing it for Blake. I know.
You want all the Blakes. But, yeah.
What's Ryan Mallett up to? Ryan Mallett, Matt Castle? I was running through the list in my head. I was like, I really don't know.
It'd probably be someone random, but I feel like, Blake,

this is the perfect opportunity for him.

Yeah, what player is Kyle Slaughter?

You need a veteran.

Get Slaughter on the team.

You need a veteran with experience.

He went to the AFC Championship.

That's true.

I mean, he basically did beat the Patriots in Foxborough.

I feel like him and Bill would be good friends.

Here we go.

Here's a quote.

He runs well.

He's a big, strong kid.

He's hard to bring down. He can extend plays just similar to the quarterbacks that we've seen really the last three weeks not counting the giants game but we've seen three weeks in a row plays that have the type of skill and yeah he's definitely in that category that is that is bill belichick on blake portals so he loves like he loves him i think blake actually like the year in Boston next year.
Blake actually has probably several options right now that are bubbling up. We've seen some of the quarterback play around the league.
Yeah, that's true. I think the Broncos are probably considering getting him back in the room.
Okay, you can have Blake. Thank you.
He's getting all the Blakes. He's getting all the Blakes.
Were the Patriots the only team that were wearing the other country's flags on their jackets? I didn't see that. Like, Belichick had a Croatian flag.
Oh. And then Patricia was coaching with the Italian flag on his jacket.
That's cool. Because it's like the international week because they had the game over in England.
Yeah. And so it was just weird seeing...
And then Steve Belichick was doing the mouth thing and also had the Croatian thing. Yeah.
Just weird. Speaking of which.
Belichick freaked out on the ref. That was always great to see.
He was breaking headsets, flipping all the way out. It's that Croatian blood in him.
Speaking of which, the Giants and the Packers play in London next week, and it's the first time we've ever sent a game with two teams over 500. We should take that back.

We should take it back.

That's crazy.

I like the idea of giving England all our shitty exports.

Yeah.

Also, I'm officially getting nervous about that gunshot bet we made.

What?

If the Jets beat the Patriots both times in season.

I'd have to get shot.

Wait, that was the bet that you did?

I thought it was Super Bowl. Super Bowl, yeah.

No, it was Jets beat the Patriots both times. Yeah.
Yeah. That's awesome.
You have to get shot. Yeah, you have to get shot.
Yeah. That seems like something I would have to get shot, but I'm so happy to hear that.
If the Jets beat the Patriots twice. That literally doesn't do anything for you.
We did Super Bowl. We did the Bears and the Commanders winning the Super Bowl.
We also would not have remembered. Yeah.
Yeah. Now we have.

Now we, Jake, put that in the fucking files.

But we need to restructure it because I'm not educated on

tumbling of small caliber bullets.

Wait, wait.

So, Bill, you're saying that we need to redo the bet

because you figured out that getting shot is bad.

Yes.

With small caliber bullets.

The guy on the commanders came back in four weeks. Dude, yeah.
Our best player right now has two bullets in his leg. Could definitely play the NFL game.
Okay. All right.
Yeah. I'm looking forward to that now.
What's the... The Jets.
Guess the line. Pass lines.
Oh, yeah. In Foxborough? It's in Foxborough.
Patch lines.

I've got Patriots.

I would say Patriots minus four.

Minus two and a half.

Would a rookie QB?

I mean, it's Patriots at home.

Against an offensive juggernaut? Over under 50.

Patriots minus two and a half.

Ooh.

Nailed it.

46 and a half.

Ah.

My models say take the over. I mean, that's four that's four points of value that i just gave you people because obviously my model's correct i had two and a half yeah that's i mean two and a half is always they're like ah we don't know let's just give the home team oh i think we have our biggest line of the year so far oh who sealers bills oh In Buffalo? Yes.
Oh, 13 and a half. 14.
Wow. That's got to be the biggest, right? It might just be that for the can't-lose parlay.
Just get one win. Just one-line Bills.
That's it. That's all it is.
Okay. Anything else in this game? I mean, the Packers didn't look good.
Aaron Rodgers looked bad for the first half. Then he looked awesome.
I hate his haircut. His new haircut looks greasy.
At the end, I was hoping he was going to throw all that Hail Mary right in Hank's face just so he could feel my pain for a second. I was just like, I had my camera out.
I was like, it's going to happen. I just think that Belichick lost this game for the Patriots.
Yeah. The offensive play Kong has been bad.
Yeah, it's been really bad. The Dolphins game they could have won, bad play Kong at the end.
Well, it turns out that when you have Joe Judge and Matt Patricia. The Packers game they could have won, bad play Kong at the end.
Yeah, I think offensive play has been bad. Yeah, the Dolphins game they could have won.
Well, it turns out that when you have Joe Judge game, they could have won bad play calling at the end. Yeah, but yeah, I don't know.
I could have seen this come. I don't know if it was the play calling or if it was that just the overall strategic decision making of when to go for it and when to punt.
Yeah, well, no, it's like conservative play. And that's where it's like I feel like an idiot because I only watch football.
I don't even watch film or read shit. I'm just watching the games.
And it's like do something. Don't run it on first and second down every time.
Yeah. Mix it up.
Do something. I think – you know that surrender index thing that they put out on like the worst punts? I think he had the worst two punts of the year were both today by Bill Belichick in this game.
And you have a rookie quarterback third string. You're playing tied at Lambeau.
You can do whatever you want to do. He should have been wearing a French flag.
It's true. The way he surrendered.
No one expected you to win this game. Go fucking win the game.
I agree. Okay.

Starting off with our Week 4 winner, Ken Dorsey. You remember he was smashing the ipad how can we forget that was last week absolutely yeah last week wow josh allen uh had a comment on it uh show me someone who's okay with losing and i'll show you a loser facts and i was like that's a badass quote also josh allen i don't know if you guys saw he he trolled bryson they had a rope after the game and and he did a little.
It was awesome. Speaking of Bryson, he put out a massive statement today.
I thought he died. That's how long this statement was that he put out on Instagram.
I thought he was saying it was his team being like, we regret to inform you that Bryson was killed in a rollover wreck earlier today. No, he was actually just saying this has been a tough year.
I'm glad that I've got all my fans. Respect my fans.
I came in second place in a long drive competition today. Credit to the guy that beat me.
Let's go next year. Okay, Team Bryson.
Nice. He is the biggest goof ever, but it is impressive that he came in second in that competition.
Who beat him? Probably some guy. A professional long driver.
Yeah. Yeah, no, those guys don't.
It's a separate thing. They don't even like golf.

They just hit bombs.

But yeah, Bryson made a video mocking the rope thing,

but it was like a week and a half too late.

It was a funny video, but it was just like,

dude, you got to make this video the next day.

Okay, Billy.

Our first nominee is obviously J.J. Watt

playing after having some sort of heart problem. That's huge.
second i think that's gonna be the overall winner everyone's going nuts about this one number two is joe burrow when he was asked about his new helmets that he was playing thursday night football in the white bangle ones he said i play in trash bags i don't really care what we wear out there max classic uh number three this one is i don't don't think a lot of people have heard about this, but it turns out Terry Bradshaw had been battling cancer for the past year, and he didn't tell anybody. And he beat it and told everyone on today's.
I love that. Yeah, I love it.
Football guy. Terry's one of those guys who's like staple of football.
Terry is football. Yeah.
Absolutely to hear that this guy just, you know, beat, you know, he's currently cancer free, but just has been battling for the past year and still, you know, showing up doing shows and bringing, you know, entertaining America. Like beast.
That's a football guy. Yeah.
That's the OG. Do you think JJ Watts going to beat cancer? Well, he'd probably tell people about it.
No, I'm saying, think J.J. Watt's heart thing is going to beat cancer.

I mean, maybe.

It's tough.

I had to bring –

I don't know how you weigh that.

Heart disease is the number one killer of Americans probably.

Cancer is probably number two.

Yeah.

I mean, I had to bring someone to beat Watt because everyone's being like a football guy.

And then number four, Trevor Lawrence did an interview in full pads with his helmet

right off the practice field.

Football guy.

Thank you. Football guy.
And then number four, Trevor Lawrence did an interview in full pads with his helmet right off the practice field. Football guy.
Okay. Can't play in rain, though.
Yeah. So he's got to figure that out.
Okay. Those are Football Guys of the Week.
Check out the blog. Vote.
We will send J.J. Watt a ball with a nail in it.
If he wins. But first, we're sending it to Ken Dorsey.
Okay. I think Josh might foster a little bit of that.
Okay, nice. Nice.
Good. Good.
Good job, Billy. Let's finish up.
Who's back? Do we want to condone Ken Dorsey's behavior, though? No, it's disgusting. I'm still very...
He'll never get a job in the NFL because of it. I'm broken up by it.
He's not a psychopath. Why did he show that much emotion and passion? It's kind of disturbing.
Because he doesn't like losing. Yeah.
I don't know. Rub rub me the wrong way and a lot of the youngsters at home too yeah he goes for an interview for head coach someone's gonna bring that up oh my god wow i don't want him you like ron rivera get out of town but like if you got angry if it's between ron rivera or a guy that actually cares about his team losing i'm sorry i gotta go with ron nick saban would never show that type of emotion.
No, disgusting. Okay, Hank, who's back of the week? We kind of talked about it earlier, but Blake Griffin.
Blake of the year, he's back. He signed a one-year deal with the Celtics.
Yeah. Two games away from winning a championship last year.
Obviously, the locker room is in a lot of turmoil. You know, you need someone, you need a figure to come in and just set everything right and do what you need to do to push your team over the top.
It's Blake Griffin. Yeah, and the merch you put up is incredible.
It's Blake of the year. He looks like Lucky the Leprechaun.
It says 3X Blake of the year. Does he respect Lucky? Yeah.
Oh, he gave me on Instagram. He was like, I need one of those.
Yeah, awesome. Done.
Check him out, PMT store. Use promo code Jake.
Use promo code Jake, 0% off.

It's just great.

I've been happy about it all weekend.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It is nice.

Celtics are a pretty young team, right?

Sure.

So Blake is a veteran leadership?

Yeah.

Al Horford, young guy? Father figure?

No, they are a young team.

What does that mean, Billy?

What?

They need leadership after email my other

who's back yeah i have two oh chili okay chili's back are you you're cocking me on my announcement of chili season being back go ahead were you gonna do that well i usually wait till like it's cold for a couple days in a row and then i'm like yeah it's chili i'm actually like a cool video Brian Baumgartner.

Oh, yeah, that is back.

Brian Baumgartner, Kevin from The Office, came into The Office. And him, Billy, and Ben Mintz had a chili cooking competition.
You guys were the judges. It was incredible.
Batgirl Productions. It's going to be a long, very funny video.
It's coming out Tuesday. Yes.
We'll have some promo videos out this week. But it's going to be Tuesday night.
We'll do a YouTube premiere. Everyone will be in the comments.
It's a very, very funny, you know, PMT-centric chili cooking video. Make sure that we put that out before the dozen trivia event in Philly.
Now you're cucking me on my news back. Oh, sorry.
Go ahead. Go ahead.
Chili's back. Chili's back.
Chili's back. It's a very funny video.
Just until Tuesday. Just a very funny video.
Very funny video. Is chili season not the same as soup season? No chili season.
You have to because my theory is that if you eat a bowl of chili and like the next day, like if you eat a bowl of chili for dinner and the next day it's like 85 degrees, you got problems. So you got to you got to wait for the consistent like cool temperatures.
And it's like, boom, now we're going hard on the chili. You can eat it anytime.
But it is like if you got a gut full of chili and then all of a sudden you're like oh i gotta wear a t-shirt and a shorts i'm uh it's a problem anything you'd like to say about the video before it comes out billy honestly i think uh brian bumgarner didn't realize that actual characters like the ones he portrayed in the office existed in real life and uh it was quite the dynamic i have no no idea what that means. What does that mean? Tune in on Tuesday.
Sure. Were you like the temp? That almost burned the place down? That was perfect.
No, that was perfect. That was perfect.
I didn't know what you were going to say. That was perfect.
That's perfect preview. All right, PFT, you're who's back.
My who's back is the dozen trivia. Yes.
Because me and Big Cat are competing amongst others down in Philadelphia on Tuesday. It's October 4th at 730 at the Met in Philadelphia.
We're doing a dozen live taping. Jeff D.
Lowe will be down there hosting it. So it's my team, the experts.
That's right. My team, the experts.
The Yak, Frank and the Frankettes, and Uptown Balls. And so tickets are on sale now, and it's going to be a good time.
It should be fun. The live trivia events.
It's a great trivia town, too. Yeah, great trivia town.
The live trivia events are so much fun. We did one in Chicago last year.
It's ruckus. It's awesome.
Definitely buy tickets. If you've got nothing going on on Tuesday night in Philly, then come see us because it's going to be a ton of fun.
It'll be a blast, yeah. All right, my who's back is Wisconsin because we fired our head coach.
So the Badgers are officially back. Back to being good.
We were bad for the first time in 20 years, Hank. Now we're going to be good again.
Do you think maybe the lease was a little bit too short? No, I think. Because you just said you were bad for the first time in 20 years.
Yeah. No, I think that it was painful to watch the Badgers play this past month.
They've done all three things they've done in the last month at various times with Paul Christ in the last 20 years, and that's lose a non-conference game at home, just be like non-competitive against Ohio State, and then get blown out by Illinois. You can't do all three things in a one-month span.
So Jim Leonard, my favorite Badger of all time, he's maybe the best, like one of the top football guys of all time, walk on, made it to the NFL for a decade, and yeah, he's the head coach, and I'm ready to roll. Ready to roll.
Hypothetically, Urban Meyer threw his hat. Yeah, sure.
You just said hypothetically. Would you like to put your morals aside to win a national title? Yes.
The answer is yes. The answer is yes.
But I'm rooting for Jim. I want Jim to get the job.
I want him to turn it around i want him to to i i love him he is my favorite badger so i want him to get the job but uh yeah it feels good

because when you have to answer for your team sucking if you fire your coach and you'll be like

well we fired our coach right like you know it's a problem solved right i'm sure it'll be that easy

we were just talking earlier tonight about just how impressive patrick mahomes looks and you know

his quarterback coach is matt nagy and he might be a hot name that would come across uh this this hiring season good how would you like matt nagy to be a badger yeah when you when you tweeted out you're like i did it as like a half a troll i was like yeah half a troll half a troll that was it would it would honestly like half a troll it would be very funny for me i'd sepuku myself for like for like eight hours and then i'd'd realize what I'd done. Stand on a mountain.
If it actually happened. And I'd be like, this is actually.
It became a little bit too real. Yeah.
No. It's just fun to think about.
I'd go to the top of Bascom Hill in Madison. And I would just fucking put a sharp blade right in my stomach.
And bleed out. Right there.
It'd be very funny. Just be dead forever.
Also, wild stats are back. I got one for you, Jake.
You ready for this? Yep. All right.
The last time Kansas was 5-0, they did it by beating Iowa State on homecoming in 2009, and they did that this year. So in between going 5-0 against Iowa State in 2009 and going 5-0 this year against Iowa State, they were 23-125.
So maybe they've broken the code and they're back. Wow.
Well, actually, no, that would be – no, yeah, no, they're out of it. They're out of it.
They've gotten out of it, right? That's a crazy record in between. 23-125 last time they were 5-0.
They went 5-0 against Iowa State in 2009 and lost every game the rest of the season. Wow.
So, hopefully that doesn't happen this year. The game day list gets smaller and smaller now, too.
Yeah. Yeah, they're going there.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Game day, by the way, if we're going to do that college football show, Rutgers, Piscataway. I think the show's at 530 on Friday night.
Nebraska-Ruckers. Houckers.
I think I'm going to the game. Oh, nice.
Yeah. Support my guy, Shiano.
Yeah. Yeah, he and Ryan Day getting into it.
Ryan Day did apologize to Shiano. Good, because he's going to get his ass kicked.
Well, Shiano was doing this point. You don't want an Italian doing this point to you.
That means you're fucked. He was ready to just absolutely chokeslam him.
He was. He was just going like this.
Like, that's literally a this. That's literally a death sentence if you do that with an Italian.
There's just one thing that Greg Sciano wants to do. If he can't win, he wants to kick your ass.
And so he played right into his hand of that. Ryan Day would get his ass whooped.
Our good friend TJ, his entire career comes down to Friday night. Let's hope the crowd's good.
Entire Hitchings family. Their entire reputation is a family.
Damn. Yeah.
I've told them that. Also, I made a video trying to pump everyone up, and I was like, they've kidnapped me and made me go to Piscataway, and then Rutgers tweeted out the video, and they just edited that part out.
So shout out to them. Okay, Billy.
My who's back is cheating. We've seen a lot of cheating scandals in the news recently, but I don't think any of these are going to.
It's consensual. No, no, I'm talking about.
Nobody's still cheating. Cheating in games, cheating in tournament, like chess.
There's a chess cheating scandal. There was recently a poker cheating scandal.
That was too complicated for me to explain. Yeah.
I don't really understand it. The poker shit's shit's hard to follow if you don't know poker.
Like, I get it. Oh, yeah, I tried to watch the video, and I was like, I'm out.
I figured it out. What the fuck's going on? I figured it out.
If you get really good at poker, and then somebody who's worse than you beats you by being stupid, you just say that they cheated. Yeah.
That's how the poker thing works. Yeah, whatever.
Yeah. She gave the money back.
It was like a poker douchebag type thing. Yeah.
Anyway, this one is even more serious. This is about cheating in a fishing tournament.
Yes. Last week, I think late in the week, there was serious allegations made and evidence found in a walleye fishing tournament in Ohio.
the winner of the walleye fishing tournament, the head of the tournament went to the winner's fish. There was about five fish.
They weighed 33 pounds. In the second place, winner said, hey, my fish are bigger.
Why do their fish weigh more than mine? Fair question. And then the tournament commissioner said, you know what? We've had so many of these allegations about these guys went up to the fish cut them open yep weights spilt out yeah there was there was fishing weights in there lead weights like three four pound weights inside these fish wrapped in fillets yeah and if you saw the video which is a very intense video they slice open these guys fish and these guys are caught dead to rights to just silence standing there as a guy just is yelling at them for cheating.
Their faces turn red. Yeah.
And then a huge mob forms. Apparently these guys in the past year have won over 300,000 in fishing boats and cash prizes in different walleye tournaments across the Midwest.
And everyone on that circus, that circuit was so irate. I was scared for these guys' lives in the video.
They should have kicked their ass. Because mob rule, if that guy who was the tournament, watching over the tournament, wasn't a cop, that whole parking lot full of fishermen were about to jump these two guys.
yeah that's the only reason he should have arrested him well should have no no why didn't he arrest him if he's a police officer because he what do we pay the cops for no so he told them to leave and then they called the police because if they stayed there it was a good chance that the crowd was going to beat the shit out of them so wait they actually did call the cops yeah they did call the cops is that cops escorted them out i guess there's a fraud that's been committed right yet but like how has anybody ever been arrested for putting weights inside they should be that's a big time crime apparently there's something on the books where it's like something like there was an old law where like if you're a horse thief or like a lot of law yeah yeah or. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Or a lobster pot robber. Like those were punishable by death back in like the old days.
Of course theft. Yeah.
Yeah. So yeah, it's like those laws.
Like you can't, you can't like walk with a woman if she's wearing like a sundress on a Tuesday. Yeah.
Those laws, the weird laws. Yeah.
So you can't have a pet raccoon. Yeah.
Or like cattle. I think that's a good law.
Yeah, that raccoon one. Billy would disagree.
Billy would disagree. Yeah, but anyway, these guys were about to get their shit rocked.
And so the whole fishing Twitter, fishing Reddit, fishing has just been exposing these guys. And they're two guys.
I'm not going to dox their names because they've been. Well, they cheated.
They're scumbags, dude. They've been dragged through the mud a lot.
Well, they should be. But these guys.
What are their names? I'll give their last names. Runyon and Kaminsky.
Give us their first names. I don't give up.
Thanks for not doxing them. Last names.
But they basically have been stuffing. What are their first names? Okay, let me find the exact names.
That's how we can judge who they are. Jake Runyon and Chase Kaminsky.
Yeah, they're cheating.

Chase.

They cheated.

It's also Jake's or big-time cheaters.

This is disgusting.

Disavow.

Yeah.

Discussing about all Jake's.

You can change your name?

Maybe.

What's your real name?

Wallace.

Wallace.

Wallace Marsh.

That would be great.

Where the fuck is Wallace?

No, but so it turns out what these guys were doing was wrapping the weights in bought walleye

fillets.

Yeah.

And shoving it down their mouths.

Which is... Where the fuck is Wallace? No, but so it turns out what these guys were doing was wrapping the weights in bought walleye filets.

Yeah.

And shoving it down their mouths.

Which is also forcing the fish to do cannibalism.

Yeah, and also killing the fish, which the fish are supposed to, in a lot of tournaments, the fish have to be alive when you bring them to the scales.

But it turns out these guys have been winning tons of tournaments.

And fishing is like, you can be a very good fisherman, but because it's so random, like what fish is swimming by your boat at that exact moment, there tends to be a lot of parity. And these guys were winning way too consistently for everyone to be like, hey, something's going on.
And at this tournament, the tournament supervisor was finally like, okay. They were outliers.
We're going to cut open these fish because usually they don't cut open the fish because they don't want to kill the fish because it's usually catch and release type thing but fishing reddit fishing like all the fishing message boards fishing 4chan how is how is 8chan going they're going nuts and they're making and the memes are hilarious they like have photoshopped their winning fishes where they're holding up fishes and just put up weights yeah so i i did a little bit of reading on your blog billy and one of the lines was that uh there they were suspected of cheating before because one of the guys had failed the post-tournament polygraph that was administered last year which is apparently like a normal it's very normal like after a fishing tournament they have they have all the team members take polygraph tests i love it to make sure that they're not lying. Like I kind of love fishing tournaments, I think.
I'm in. No, I mean these guys are sober fishermen.
These guys go fishing, sometimes don't catch anything, no drinking, no music. Like these guys are fishing fish.
How it should be done. Sober fishermen.
Minus shoving lead weights into every dead fish. Sober fishermen are probably the most intense people of all time.
Yeah. Yeah.
I don't really care for the aesthetic of the professional fishermen. And by that, I mean like they look like NASCAR drivers with the logos everywhere.
I like to think of my fishermen as being like straw hat, like backwards. Overalls.
Overalls, that type of thing. Now, they look like they were like, like shot out of a Mountain Dew bottle.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, but they've robbed some of the runner-ups that were robbed out of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and they have no way to prove it over the past two years. Justice.
Yeah. All right.
Do the right thing, Jake and- Chase. Chase.
Yeah. Give the money back.
Give the boat back. Give it all back.
Well, I think they're getting federal fraud. Oh, good.
Let's go. Yeah, lock them up.
Throw away the key key. Who's back, Billy? Stop the steal.
They need to just do one court case with the chess guys, the poker people, and this guy is just one giant ruling. Have Billy McFarlane be the judge.
Billy broke the story. Yeah, I know.
He was popping. In the quote tweets.
Oh, no. Billy was going viral.
Big time viral. Big J Billy.
Yeah. the story yeah i know he was he was in the quote tweets oh no billy was going viral big time viral big j billy yeah chase the story when i can love it chase it i i liked all billy's updates that he was giving like after after he realized it was going mega viral he just kept replying to his original tweet with some variation of i'm working on a blog i'll have more on this later yeah and then he'd reply that'd be like i'm still working on the blog it should be up soon.
I'm still working on the blog. I'll have more on this later.
And then he'd reply to that. I'd be like, I'm still working on the blog.

It should be up soon.

I'm still working on the blog.

I've submitted it, but the editors haven't approved it yet.

It's just like giving a running timeline of how hard he's working.

It was a Saturday.

Good job, Billy.

Good job.

I could be entertaining clients.

You could have been.

You could have.

All right, Jake, finish us off.

My who's back is West Coast Baseball. We have some playoff droughts that were snapped over the weekend.
The Mariners in for the first time since 2001. My World Series pick.
Cool walk-off homer. My favorite city.
The Padres are in for the first time in a full season since 2006. Very cool.
So the field is shaping up. We'll start this weekend.
We have a few more games this week. What about the Mets? Another loss.
The Mets got swept by the Braves. The magic number is one.
Another loss. Oh, no.
Unless the Mets pull something off. And they're going to lose to Grom, too.
To the Braves. To the Braves, yeah.
It's looking like the Mets will play either the Padres, maybe the Phillies. I'm pumped up for playoff baseball.
New format, by the way. I read that Mrs.
Met got a divorce divorce and she's now married to Blooper. I saw that rumor.
Yeah. And they're adopting Jacob deGrom.
Yeah. So, the new format for those unaware, it's the best of three.
The top two seeds get to buy three and the sixth seed. They added another wild card and the four and the five will play two out of three this weekend.
Okay. Do they fly back? No, it's three games at the higher seed.
Oh, love that. Saturday, Sunday series.
Yep. And then the top two seeds in each league will get.
So when do they, when does the, uh, if you were a, yeah, if you were, uh, like a traditionalist, when does the official playoff start? Well, I, I think the three games. No, no, no.
I'm just saying when does one game wild card shit was, yeah, when does the yeah. When does the DS start? DS starts next Tuesday.
Monday's off day. So Tuesday, October 11th.
The Yankees, Astros, and Dodgers have already clinched. Judge is definitely going to finish at 61.
He's got four games in Texas. I've actually gotten to the point now where I'm mad that I did the bet because I want to revel in the fact of them cutting in to every college football game.
Oh, people are mad. Well, yeah.
It's fucking bullshit. If you're a Yankees fan, you're probably watching the Yankees game already.
Like, who cares? It's for sixth place. It's for the American League record.
And they were saying, like, someone tweeted it. I completely agree with it.
Like, we need to, when the World Series comes, we need to cut in, like, Louisville and UCF every time they're in the red zone on a Thursday night. And by the way, watch this, bitch.
I've done the math on it. Turns out Aaron Jones, or Aaron Judge, if he was playing in any other stadium besides Yankee Stadium, he would have two fewer home runs.
So really kind of a Mickey Mouse sixth place that he's at right now. Jake, the Blue Jays, are they going to get home games? The Blue Jays.
Those will rock. Those will rock.
I think the Bears have the one seed. Because Blue Jays are the highest.
Yes, I believe they've locked up the four seed. That could be interesting because the whole border vaccination thing.
I was going to say it would be interesting just because remember when Joey Bats and that Blue Jays team, how fucking awesome that stadium was? Yeah, that stadium was like the Thunderdome. And they are the team of sons.
No, wait, Jake. No, no, no, they're not.
Oh, yeah, they are. The Blue Jays.
Yeah, yeah, the Blue Jays will play the Mariners. Or the Rays.
Yeah, most likely the Mariners. The Mariners are one and a half games up on the Rays.
So you know how they had that clip that was so wild from a couple months ago where it was like Bo Bichette and Dante Bichette swing,

and then they had Vladdy Jr. and Vladimir Guerrero swing back-to-back?

I want somebody to include – is his name Kavin Biggio?

Kavin.

Kavin Biggio.

I wanted someone to include him, like really leaning into a pitch

and taking one off the elbow compared to how his dad did it

because I swear to God they get hit by pitches the exact same way. Yeah.
It's uncanny. Yeah.
Wild, even. It's very wild.
It's wild. Yeah.
Okay. I've been waiting for this since Thursday.
What's 48 plus 45 is 93? Yep. Numbers.
I'm doing 93 for Jake. If you missed Thursday, we have a bet.
PFT and I have a bet with Hank. If he gets no, if he never gets a number right before the end of this year, he owes me and PFT $5,000 combined.
If he gets it once, we owe him $5,000 combined. If he gets it twice, he owes us 3,000.
If he gets it three times, we owe him $3,000.

I love it.

I'm rooting for you, Hank.

I would like you to get it now.

I want him to get it. If you're going to get it, I want you to get it now because then you have to be worried.

I don't do this for the money.

I just want to win.

I don't care.

What's your number?

93.

Okay.

Score, Gami.

26.

91. 16.
11. 26 91

16

11

If it's 17 I might

Oh well I guess I can spin it but

I'll lose it

Oh

Oh

Oh

Billy's fucking reaction

Wow

96

Oh my god

Hank you were so close. You were so close, Hank.
I thought I was 69, too. 96.
You were so close, Hank. Oh, that's why you reacted like that.
Yeah. Yeah.
If they didn't call it, that would have been... 96, Hank.
No, it's implied at this point. Have you ever been three away? It's implied.
I don't even think you've been three away. I definitely have.
No, you haven't. You've never even been close.
Yep, Jake confirmed. That makes you nervous.
That feels like you're getting closer. Have you ever gotten, like, one away? Definitely.
Have you ever gotten the number? Uh, no. Oh.
I can't wait until you get it twice. Great interview coming on Wednesday.
Kyle Long, our old friend. No, you don't want me to get it twice.
Oh, yeah. We do.
We do want you to get it twice. If you get it once, then we owe you money.
If you get it twice, you owe us money. So if you get it once, then the pressure's on us, but it also is kind of on you to not get it right.
I want to see what Hank's strategy is going to be like to not get it. Like what numbers he's going to put.
I have a genius strategy. Oh, really? Because it seems like you've really figured out the numbers in this one.
Let's see how far away you can get. This doesn't count.
This does not count, but let's see if you can get far away. Guess.
No, it's not far away. It's just not the number.
Okay, so what's the strategy? Just give me one that's just far away. No, I'm confused.
Give me one that's far away. Hank, let's prove that you can get it.
I want to see a strategy here for not getting it. Far away.
99. Okay.
This does not count. What if he gets it? Six.
By the way, I like how Hank's strategy to get the number was 98,

and his strategy to get as far away as possible was 99.

No, I think he does have a strategy.

He does not get it.

He's proven it track record.

Love you guys.

Charles Darwin was once looking for an ostrich-like bird

called the Raya in South America.

He searched far and wide for it

and then discovered that the chicken he was eating for dinner was actually

the bird he was looking for.

That's how he discovered the Rhea.
