Today is Monday, November 22nd, week 11. What? What? What? We start in Minnesota where Dalvin and Hobbs Cook and Kirk Diggler drop their big dong on Green Bay.
Justin Jefferson Airplane said one pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small and you know what pill he's taking on Sunday. Those du-du-du's, the Canadian the Canadian ones with a pop.
The white rabbit Adam Thielen hopped his way into the end zone as Vikings fans finally have an offense to love. The environmental disaster Marquez Exxon Valdez Scantling and AJ Oil Spillin were tough to contain as they covered up for Aaron Rodgers' wounded ducks on Sunday, but it was too little too late as the Vikings find a way to get the big win in the NFC Norse.
Vikings 34, Packers 31. What? What? What? In Chicago, where Lamar Michael Jackson's butt was a SYT shitty young thing as a starting quarterback was feeling bad all week, and John Harbaugh said, got to be starting Huntley, got to be starting Huntley.
Matt Nagy is looking at the man in the mirror and he's asking everyone else to change their ways. What was a bad game became a thriller at the end, but Devontae Sunday Freeman didn't have any chocolate rain leaking out of his butt as the Ravens overcome their locker room viral sensation of their own.
Taking down the Bears. 16-13.
To the Meadowlands where the Jets insurance policy Joe Aflaco was throwing ducks, but the Dolphins had a waddle of their own as Quack Hollins found his way to the end zone. Much like his namesake, Jameson Manhattan Clam Crowder was the inferior product

on Sunday. Tatuo Tagliavoa

put a tramp stamp right

above his Miles Askin,

and the Dolphins keep it rolling with

three wins in a row?

Huh? Dolphins 24,

Jets 17.

And down to Charlotte, where Taylor

Wynum-Dynam 60-Hynum

put the football team in a winning position.

Cam Zutton was riding a little

too high after his first half touchdown Thank you. And down to Charlotte, where Taylor Wynum-Dynam, Sixty Hynum, put the football team in a winning position.

Cam Zutton was riding a little too high after his first half touchdown.

And on the other side of the field, Cam Ron Rivera said,

I'll tell you what the A80's like, and I know what Joe Brady likes.

Need a QB that's polite, listens and takes advice.

Heineke's up all three, plus he can lay the pipe.

The Washington football team, take down the Panthers. 27-21.
Some spread. Up to Western New York where one, two, three, four, five.
Just give Jonathan Taylor the ball and he'll end this drive. A little bit of Jonathan in my life.
A little bit of Ursa by my side. A little bit of Quinton is what I see.
A little bit of Pittman in the sun. A little bit of Ursae by my side.
A little bit of Quentin is what I

see. A little bit of Pittman

in the sun. A little bit

of Rodrigo all night long.

Just a little bit. Just a little bit

of Wentz is all you need.

Aha! I've butchered that.

Mambo number five. In the

land of the chicken wing, head coach

Reich proves that Frank's red

hot. Colts 41, Bills 15.
You gotta laugh at yourself sometimes, Tiege. You're absolutely right, Boom.
In Tennessee, Adrian Skeeterson had the Titans losing their top seed in a stunner. Desmond Gooffking had two of four interceptions thrown by Mr.
Ryan T, who had a day to forget. Come on, Tan Hill Tan Hill.
Terod Taylor's version was good in the red area. And once again.
NPS Rax Perkhead was a real motherfucker. As the Texans stunned the Titans.
22-13. Up to Cleveland where Tim Suzanne Boyle still hasn't scored.
But through a handsome football as the Lions still haven't completed the impossible dream. A single win in the 2021 NFL season.
Nick Merck's Chubb, who is totally 5'11", was dominating Verdance Campbell's map. And DeAndre ran fast and furious.
Tokyo Swift was pounding the rock, but it's ludicrous they still don't have a VIN.

Diesel, that is.

Browns 13.

Lions 10.

The wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald stays home in Cleveland.

And it was a real bird fight in Seattle before Turkey Day.

You know who the real turkey is, Boom?

Obama.

And DK Iglesias Metcalf said, I can be your hero, baby.

I can run real fast and straight.

McCoy had Colt 45 and two Zach Gertz.

Tuddies is all we need.

We can head back to the bus because we just beat Russ

and smoked at AJ Green.

But Alex Rodriguez Collins and DJ Lo Dallas

made it look like the Seahawks Seahawks

are heading to Splitsville with Pete Carroll. Cards, 33.
Seahawks, 33. In Kansas City, it was defense that led the day.
Huh? Huh? There was no Dalamari as the Cowboys were left playing a squid game, no longer hanging with Mr. Cooper, who was out with COVID.
Micah Parsons, Sage Rosemary had a game that was all time, wreaking havoc for the Cowboys defense. Travis, for the boys, Kelsey ran for a touchdown, and Clyde the Glide Edwards-Hilaire added one of his own for an impressive Chiefs win.
Chiefs 19, Cowboys 9 Standing on a corner Jameis Winston down in Nola Such a fine sight to see It's Trevor Simeon He's the bad man And Jalen Hurts had three TDs. Hey, Sirianni.

It's no score of gummy.

But 40 to 29 is a classic swami.

Eagles 40, Saints 29.

And that was week 11.

I used to think that sandwiches were just, you know, basic. Until I realized how easy it is to level them way up.
And that was why I always go for Boar's Head. The quality, the craftsmanship, the fresh premium flavors that turn an everyday sandwich into something next level.
So if you're tired of the same old lunch, try upgrading with Boar's Head. Head to the deli counter, grab your favorites, and see just how easy it is to make every bite amazing.
Discover the craftsmanship behind every bite at your local Boar's Head deli counter grab your favorites and see just how easy it is to make every bite amazing discover the craftsmanship behind every bite at your local boars head deli counter okay week 11 uh so usually we start with sunday night football we started taping the show while watching sunday night football uh the chargers steelers played a big 12 game it was awesome uh big ben might be back officially the chargers offense looked incredible but there's a little bonus because there was something that was revealed later on in the show and we kind of discussed the whole game and uh some bets that might break this podcast up uh later on i think that's probably the best way to digest this game if you came to this show looking for real in-depth analysis of the Seelers-Chargers game, you're probably not going to find it. But what you will find as you listen on through this show will be something much more enthralling.
It's way better. You get to hear part of my take break up in real time.
It's way, way better. If you're looking for someone to be like, oh yeah, Justin Herbert, 300 yards, Big Ben, three touchdowns.
Go listen somewhere else. This one will be way better when it happens.
And it's a big reveal. Everything I'm about to say feels inconsequential to what ends up happening in this show.
But I will say that Justin Herbert, when he's running the football, the Chargers offense looks like it's back to being back. Yes, yes.
So we're going to do the rest of the show right now. We're going to do the rest of the recap.
But tune in because somewhere towards the back half of the games we're recapping, the big reveal happens. And, yeah, we might not be a podcast anymore.
I'll just say that at halftime in the third quarter and the start of the fourth, I thought for sure that the Chargers were going to win by double digits yeah that seemed like it was going to be a lock and uh I couldn't really see a way that that would not happen yeah so stay tuned let's get into the rest of the games week 11 uh some crazy games some games that we didn't see coming some games we did see coming some teams we can throw we'll start with, I would say, the game with the most implications for how we view the season

going forward, and that is Colts 41, Bills 15.

The Bills, we love Buffalo.

Let me just say this.

Can we just say a few nice things about Buffalo?

We love Buffalo.

We love Wingnuts.

Yep.

Greatest city.

It's always fun to be there. We love Benny the Butcher.
Love Benny the Butcher. Love Josh Allen.
The Bills have a big time problem. The Bills have a issue, fundamental issue that I'm worried about for Bills fans.
I'm trying very, very hard not to say the F word, but they seem fraudulent right now

because they got, we talked about tough teams and man football teams.

The Colts are that, the Bills are not right now.

I'd say today it wasn't a clowning.

It was not a whooping.

I'd say it was a waxing.

I think the Colts absolutely waxed the Bills.

I don't think that the Bills are soft necessarily because they were hard,

but now they're just in the refractory

period where they're going to be soft for a little bit

until they're ready to score again.

Then they're going to get hard later on in the season.

They obviously

couldn't stop Jonathan Taylor today,

but I don't think that that's a Bills problem. I think that's

just an NFL defender

problem. Okay, so the issue

with the Bills, there's a couple issues.

One is you expect their defense to play very,

very good. Their offense did not help their

defense today with all the turnovers and giving them bad field position, but they got run over by Jonathan Taylor. He had over 200 yards.
He had five touchdowns. He's the fifth player ever in Super Bowl era to do that.
Jamal Charles, Clinton Portis, Sean Alexander and Jerry Rice are the other other four which is a hilarious group of players just to begin with uh he was dominant he was scoring every single time we looked up they couldn't stop him but the bills offense also is kind of broken and josh allen has not been playing well we love josh allen he's a friend of ours he has not been playing well they can't run the ball their best running attack is josh allen, but they also don't want to run Josh Allen because they don't want him to get hurt. So they're now stuck in this weird spot where it feels like all their play, like it doesn't feel like they have any rhythm when you're watching them play offense.
And I'm worried about the Bills because now we're getting into December. We're at the end of November.
They're 6- four they just gave up first place in the afc east to the patriots and i'm looking at like what they've put together and they where's like their their their big win is that chiefs game where the chiefs were struggling but they've beaten up on some teams they should have beaten and then they play a colts team that's kind of starting to round into form as a real like playoff contender and they got absolutely smoked on their home field I had my first moment of the year where it's like wow oh yeah I can't wait to see that on hard knocks I hope that Jonathan Taylor was mic'd up today I hope that we get to see exactly what he was saying as he was just running roughshod all over the Buffalo Bills defense but I thought about it today so that's progress for the NFL yes that in my head somewhere. I'm worried about the Bills.
I am worried about them too. I want to chalk it up to the fact that every team that's playing on Thanksgiving lost today.
Yes. And it's just like one of those trends that we didn't know about until after the fact when it happened.
Yep. But yeah, I'm a little bit worried about the Bills.
Hand up. When I looked at the standings today and I saw the Patriots were now above them i was like when did that happen here's they've just been they've had a couple of those games like the the patriots have quietly just been dominating and the bills have quietly been losing ground over the last month or so and yeah it's concerning because if you're the bills you need home field advantage in the playoffs here's here's what it really boils down to we've said it was a bit that we keep forgetting the Bills when we list off contenders the last couple weeks.
I think it was our subconscious being smarter than our conscious, like saying, hey, you guys are stupid to keep throwing in there until they prove it. Now, the good news is there's still a lot of season left.
You're still a good team. You're not a great team right now.
And the bills, I was thinking about it. Like, why am I worried about the bills? One, because of everything we just listed, like their offense looks shaky and their defense got kind of run over today, but more than anything, and this is very stupid, but this is what happens to the media.
If you don't win a big prime time game, you kind of fade from the discussion of big time teams. The Bills have had, I think just the Chiefs game was their prime time game.
Oh no, they lost to the Titans in prime time. But they've played a lot of teams that are not good, so they've played a lot of 1 o'clock games on Sunday.
The good news is, they play Thursday night Thanksgiving at the Saints. They play Monday night against the Patriots and they play in the afternoon slot, which probably would get flexed against the Bucs.
So that's three games in a row that the Bills can basically prove that they are worth being talked about in the contender category. But this was bad.
This was bad. We can also blame the Manning cast for Josh Allen.
We can put blame wherever we wanted. This was also like credit to the Colts, who their offensive line played really well today.
The Colts' defense is awesome. Well, Darius Leonard is awesome.
I'm pretty sure that their defense leads the NFL in takeaways this year. Somebody look that up.
I'm like 90% sure. I thought I heard that somewhere today.
That sounds good. Go run with it.
Actually, don't look it up. Don't look it up.
Run with it. The Colts defense is number one in the NFL.
That's a cool step, PFT. Thank you.
Yeah, no, I counted all of them today. I watched all the film.
And obviously, like 30 points from running back. It's a little bit demoralizing.
Insane. I'm worried about how the Bills are going to bounce back.
I'll add another reason to be worried about the Bills to your list, is that they're the Buffalo Bills. Yes..
And so historically, you should be a little bit worried about it. But here's the good news is that now that we're down on them, they can come back and be the Buffalo Bills we want them to be.
Because we've said this before that the Bills riding high and the Bills being considered like an elite team is bad for the Bills. And hope is a bad thing to have.
Sorry, not hope. Expectations is a bad thing to have or sorry not hope expectations is a bad

thing to have and now the expectations are lowering i think they'll figure it out but god damn that

was a bad game now for the colts the colts are like actually rounding into a good team they had

a bad september and now they've starting to play good football am i a little worried they're my

pinky team yeah maybe a little no because no yeah maybe bit. Well, this was the formula for Carson Wentz winning a game on the road, which is go 11 for 20 and throw for 106 yards.
Yes. It's perfect.
As long as you can limit Carson Wentz to doing that as an offensive coordinator, then you're probably going to win a lot of games. And also put on the camouflage sleeve so that, because you know in Carson Wentz in the back of his head, he's like, this actually helps because no one can actually see my arm when I'm throwing a pass.
Oh, I was going to say because he thinks that he's in the military. Yeah, that too.
Yeah. And if the enemy is ducks.
Yes, exactly. And he shingles his roof.
But yeah, Carson Wentz, I mean, that was nothing to write home about. He did enough.
It was Jonathan Taylor. It was Jonathan Taylor and the Colts' defense.
But I do think the Colts, like, if you're looking for a team that is, I think they're technically right now outside of the playoffs, but I would trust them more than some of the teams that are inside the playoffs. I would say the Colts are the team that nobody wants to play right now.
Yep. Officially.
Yeah. Like, they're number one.
If I'm looking at my rankings of teams that you don't want to play, it's usually a team like the Colts are the team that nobody wants to play right now. Yep.
Officially. Yeah.
Like they're number one. If I'm looking at my rankings of teams that you don't want to play, I put, it's usually a team like the Colts, like the Colts, I would say the Niners, no one wants to play the Niners right now.
Yeah. I mean, the Colts started Oh and three.
And since then they have, you know, been playing very good football. And, and besides that, uh, you know, like think about their two losses since they started Oh and three, that Ravens game where they totally fucked up on that Monday Night Football.
And the game against the Titans at home, which they also totally fucked up. The famous Carson Wentz, that was actually a better pick six than getting a safety there.
Galaxy brain move. So they're playing good football.
Yeah, I think officially the Colts are the team no one wants to play in the NFC. Okay, my top three teams that nobody wants to play is number one, the Indianapolis Colts.

Yes.

Number two, I've actually got the Vikings.

Nobody wants to play the Vikings right now.

Okay.

Just because it sucks to hang out with Kirk Cousins.

Number three, the 49ers.

I was going to say the 49ers.

49ers, yeah.

Yep, those are my top three.

We're synced up.

We're synced up.

I would actually maybe throw in the Eagles, too.

Yeah, no, good point. The Eagles are starting to get there.
Eagles are four. We are synced up.
We're like sorority girls on our period right now. Yeah, we're getting there.
We're getting there. All right, so bury the football, Sean McDermott.
That's your only hope. He has to bury several footballs.
Here, good news. You get to play Thursday night against Trevor Simeon, who has not looked great.
Great medicine. And hopefully that figures everything out.
The Dome will probably be rocking, but at least you get that, like, hey, we can get some – if you win that game on Thursday night against a Saints team that even if they have been playing poorly and lost a couple in a row, they still have a ton of, like, talented players, you win on Thursday night, you get a little, as Jules calls it, a baby bye, and then you get yourself figured out for a Monday night football game

against the Patriots that will have huge, huge implications.

I want to see Buffalo bring a shit little wing sauce down to New Orleans

for when they bring out the smoked turkey legs.

Yes.

Cover that motherfucker up like it's a Buffalo leg.

Yes.

Hank, quickly, AFC East, you are now in first.

You actually said, though, you're a little worried that it's too much too fast for the Patriots. Yeah, as the Patriots have gone hot, every other team in the NFL has had some stinkers.
You just want to be hot at the right time. And right now, it's good, but it's not the right time.
Right. Yeah, they're peaking too early.
When is the right time? In a couple weeks? Yeah, like a month. Right now, the Patri the best team in the nfl team i said team if the playoffs started tomorrow yeah they would probably be in the top three super bowl favorite contenders yes yeah no i i don't think that's wrong they're playing the best football of anyone right now have you heard anybody had the discussion about whether or not like oh shit we passed on mac jones like how they did with patrick mahomes like all these teams that could have used a quarterback ahead of them um i've seen that well the panthers are definitely a team that especially because someone pulled up matt rules comments from the senior bowl yeah where he was like mac jones has it all figured out mac jones is incredible and then they pass on him and decided to go with Sam Darnold.
So he's definitely number one on the list right now. I would say probably the 49ers have to be up there, Trey Lance, although we don't know what he is.
Maybe the Dolphins. Yeah, we'll see.
Maybe the Dolphins. Dolphins are actually sneaky hot.
We'll get to them. Sneaky hot.
I'm a full-on two-a guy now. I've been gaslit to just being like, this guy rules.
All right, next one. Vikings-Packers.
This was the other big game where it felt like there were – we learned a lot from the Vikings, and actually we learned a lot from both teams in this game. The Vikings – we'll start with the Vikings.
That was a Vikings game that, you know,

the Al Pacino game of inches speech.

If Darnell Savage

completes that interception of

Kirk Cousins with like two minutes left,

the Packers go down, win that game, and

it's the same old Vikings. He doesn't complete

the interception. Kirk Cousins takes

him down. Dalvin Cook rips

off a big run. The Vikings get a

huge, huge win against a red-hot

Packers team, and now the

Vikings are, like you said,

a team no one wants to play, a team that

has been in every game.

I think I saw the stat today,

which is crazy. The Vikings are the only team

in the NFL that have had a seven-point

lead at some point in every single one of their

games. Yeah, they've lost some really weird games.
The Vikings

are definitely, they're a talented team.

Mike Zimmer said it best, because I feel

in my bones when Mike Zimmer

I'm sorry. lead at some point in every single one of their games.
Yeah, they've lost some really weird games. The Vikings are definitely, they're a talented team.

Mike Zimmer said it best because I feel in my bones when Mike Zimmer talks about how he spends his Sunday.

He said, you know they say Sunday is fun day?

It's not.

Sundays are not fun.

Whoa.

I agree.

Sundays, especially if you're Mike Zimmer because even when you win a game, it's like,

well, shit, okay, I can count the ways that we probably should have lost that game. That I personally blew it.
And even when you lose a game you're like oh shit I can count the ways that we should have won that game. Yes.
It's gotta be so frustrating it's like a coin flip for them. But the Vikings, the strategy at the end playing for a field goal was a weird strategy if you're a Vikings fan.
If you're the Vikings fan. Any other franchise probably yes.
Play for the field goal. Try to do a 29-yard chip shot at the end and see if you can win it.
But I don't think anybody that's a Minnesota fan was feeling confident with that strategy. I would just try to score.
I would just try to score. I would be like, fuck that.
I know that I cannot count on Greg Joseph to make a field goal. It's actually a damned if you do, damned if you don't, because you have on one hand the Vikings' history of field goals, and you're like, oh, my God, we don't want to leave it up to field goal.
And then on the other, you have the history of Aaron Rodgers just ripping people's hearts out with late-game heroics. So they win, huge win.
Again, it was crazy to see how little. We actually went to commercial break because we have six games on.
We didn't realize that Donald Savage had had had kind of fumbled the interception we thought that it was like oh same old Kirk throws a big pick which it was a terrible throw yep uh but Kirk Cousins played well Justin Jefferson I don't know where you want to rank him but he if you don't have him in your top five wide receivers then you're just not watching watching football anymore because he's incredible, incredible, and he's doing the thing that ingratiates yourself to a fan base where he wore a Randy Moss shirt today saying how much he loves Randy Moss. That's the coolest thing you can do for a Vikings fan.
This guy loves our other guy who's the man. Also kind of a desperate move on Jefferson's part.
He said that Randy Moss hasn't

been as welcoming to him

as he would like. He wants to be boys

with Randy Moss. And Randy Moss

is like, hey, I've got friends. I'm old.

I'm in my 40s. I don't make new friends.

That chip sails

when you're about 30 years old

is probably when you stop making

real lifelong friends, I would say.

But he was incredible. I would say it might even be like yeah 30 if you're if you're out there making lifelong friends past the age of 30 it's because they need something from you or you need something from them i'm gonna get a text message we're gonna probably get text messages from people after this discussion but i think the rule is like every year past 30, you lose two friends.
Yeah. Just not even on purpose.
I'd say- Just you lose track of friends and then eventually you just die with no one. Yeah, I'd say if you're- Not to get bleak.
If you're past 30- I lost a lot of money gambling responsibly this weekend. Not to get bleak.
You die with no one. And also, Randy Moss is old.
Justin Jefferson is young. The rule is, like, divide your age in half, plus seven.
If they're younger than that, then it's weird to be friends with them. Acquaintances.
You can be acquaintances, not friends. But yeah, Justin Jefferson, top five wide receiver.
He was sensational. He had 100 yards in the first quarter.
He had two touchdowns. He was absolutely incredible.
The Packers defense got a tiny bit exposed, I'd say. Yeah bit but i i'd be more concerned with mason crossbar well no okay so i'm happy i'm concerned about mason i actually think um if you're a packers fan and you care about loyalty and you care about community and you know you have your stock in your basement you need to realize that mason crosby has done a lot for your organization he's a packer through and through and if you don't want him on your team for the rest of the season and through the playoffs you're a bad fan and you're also disloyal this guy's going through a little something he'll figure it out it will not come back to bite you.
Be a good fan.

Keep rooting for Mason Crosby.

And I almost say crossbar every single time.

Yeah, it's such a good nickname. And you better not say anything mean about him, and you better not cut him.

Because you've got to be a good fan.

I would actually like to retract half of what I'm saying about Mason Crosby

because I don't know that it's a Mason Crosby thing.

He also doesn't hit the crossbar anymore.

He just misses.

I think it's the entire field goal unit. I don't know how much's a Mason Crosby thing.
He also doesn't hit the crossbar anymore. He just misses.
I think it's the entire field goal unit.

I don't know how much of it is his fault and how much is the holder's fault

because him and the holder, but Bjorquez, Bjorquez, Bjorquez,

they don't get along.

For whatever reason, he doesn't hold the ball the way that Mason likes the ball to be held.

So I don't know if that makes Mason Crosby a system kicker or if it means that for whatever reason, like the backup quarterback, that would be Jordan Love, right? Yes. Is Jordan Love just not a good holder? I don't know.
Does he need to sit for a couple years? No, he also needs to be loyal to him. Behind Pajorquez? Mason Crosby and Jordan Love are your future if you're a Packers fan.
Yeah. Also, Aaron Rodgers is hurt.
He says that he's got a toe injury that's a little— It's worse than having turf toe. He says it's very, very painful.
And somebody stepped on it in the first half. Oh, man.
I don't know if—is this Aaron Rodgers just putting the excuses out there already? Also, if you were watching our live stream today, I might have at one point screamed out, break his fucking neck as the Vikings were on a pass rush. So that was, I don't remember saying it, but I know I said it.
You weren't rooting for injury. You were rooting for lifelong debilitation.
Yeah, right. You were rooting for death.
It's totally different. But yeah, the Vikings, that's a huge, huge win for them.
They are semi-rolling right now. You want your, this doesn't make make any sense Kirk Cousins stat of the day

was he wearing the white wedding ring no I don't know what he was wearing I think he was wearing the white today okay you ready for the Kirk Cousins this makes no sense yeah we actually watch this guy play stat of the day Kirk Cousins surpassed Aaron Rodgers today in games where you throw

300 yards

and 3 touchdowns

in your first 10 years in the NFL. It is now Dan Marino one, Kirk Cousins two in the whole list of 300 yard, three touchdown games in your first 10 seasons in the NFL.
A lot of Super Bowls in those three. It makes no sense.
It makes no sense. No, it doesn't.
He has 26 of them. Aaron Rodgers had 25 of them.
The reason why is because Kirk Cousins very frequently will be playing from behind in games where he has to throw for 300 yards. It's crazy.
For three touchdowns against a prevent defense. He's playing well.
And he was taking shots. He was actually throwing it.
Like, all the things that you say, we say about Kirk Cousins, he did not display those things today.

It was very un-Kirk-like.

And in fact, I think that the interception that he threw,

that wasn't his fault.

Yeah.

I remember watching.

Well, Darnell Savage, I'm counting that as an interception.

I don't know if that was necessarily completely Kirk's fault or not.

But yeah, three touchdowns, 341 yards.

And yeah, he threw for an average of 9.7 yards per completion today.

I'll see you next time. Kirk's fault or not.
But, yeah, three touchdowns, 341 yards. And, yeah, he threw for an average of 9.7 yards per completion today.
Pretty good day at the office. No, he was.
He was throwing it. He was not checking it down as much.
So people get mad at us that we give Kirk shit. He was good today.
He has been good this year. Let's see how it goes if they get to the playoffs.
I would like for Aaron Rodgers to make it look like it's a little bit more difficult than it is to play quarterback at the highest level. No, he's lazy.
He's straight up lazy. He'll make the most amazing throws, and then he'll just be like, yeah, that's boring.
Can we do something else? I can't wait until this game's over. So I can go hike in Kawhi with my hot wife.
He'll miss a throw. He'll miss a wide-open guy, and it will be like, maybe if he had tried to not be so, whatever, I'm going to throw it off my back heel.
But whatever, you can't criticize him. That's fine.
I don't want to be salty here. I've already said I want to snap his neck.
So we're good. I think it's fine to root for a player to die during a game because that's so far beyond the pale.
It's crazy, too. Yeah, it's crazy.
It would never happen. So it's one thing to be like, oh, I hope this guy tears his ACL.
And it's another thing to be like, I hope Aaron Rodgers explodes. Yes.
Yeah. Combust.
Yeah. Lights on fire.
I mean, that would make for a pretty ridiculous not top 10 moment. Yeah.
All right. So Vikings, huge win.
They are not in. No, they are in the playoffs.
They're the sixth seed right now. Correct? Five and five the season ended today they are the 6th seed the Vikings would be in the playoffs wow so the Vikings are in the playoffs they have a huge game against the 49ers coming up which will have because those are you know they're kind of in the same spot trying to fight for that last spot or the last few spots and then they have the Lions Steelers and Bears the Vikings are are going to make the playoffs.
The Vikings are going to make the playoffs. They play the Bears.
They have two games against the Bears and a game against the Lions. That should be a pretty easy 3-0 if they play like this.
Where's the 49ers game? 49ers is at 49ers. Okay, they're going to win that game.
Yeah, yeah. Although Kyle Shanahan, he knows Kirk Cousins.
Well, yeah, he loves him. Loves his ass.
It's like he wanted to get him out there, right? I know. He still does.
I would imagine. I think they always will.
All right. Washington football team 27, Panthers 21.
Taylor Heineke and the Washington football team bullied the Panthers. It was awesome.
I loved every second of this game for the most part. It was a classic story.
You had a former Panthers dual threat quarterback returning home, showing out in front of the crowd, and also Cam Newton was there. Taylor Heineke fucking skull fucked him.
Taylor Heineke is Brett Favre with a bigger dick. I love watching Taylor Heineke play when he wins.
Well, that's not saying a lot. No, it's not.
No, I meant exactly what I said. He's got a completely average-sized penis, probably, the way that he plays.

But when he wins, he's so fun to watch.

He is just ridiculous.

The fourth down play that he had, I think it was fourth and three,

and he threw it sidearm as he was falling down on the ground.

It was amazing.

And the Washington football team right now, I'm thinking the offs. I'm thinking that we're going to the offs.

We're not soupy, but it's the off season.

And I've been running the math here. I've been looking through the numbers, the deep numbers, leading into the playoff hunt.
If we can win with Seattle coming to town, all we have to do then is take care of business against the NFC East, split one against the Cowboys, and I think we're in the offs. Yeah, your last five games are against the Cowboys, Eagles, and Giants.
Yeah, I mean, it will be interesting because the NFC East,

and obviously we're taping this before, the Giants play on Monday Night Football,

but it has quickly become a very respectable division after last year's debacle.

Yeah.

Like the Eagles are playing well.

The Cowboys, obviously they lost today, but they've been playing very well. And the Washington football team on a little two-game winning streak.
Taylor Heineke, 38 for 48, 413 yards, four touchdowns, zero interceptions in his last two games. That's pretty good.
He's pretty damn good. Terry McLaurin also is unguardable.
Yep, he's great. And you guys ran all over him.
Yep, and the defense is looking decent now. The defense is rounding into form, and we're getting Montez Sweat back in the next couple weeks from his broken jaw.
So I don't know if he's been eating soup for the last couple weeks or how that's going, how you actually heal from a broken jaw. But I'm excited about the Washington football team.
I'm starting to talk myself into Taylor Heineke being the guy again. Again? Again, yeah.
I've got three straws now. And I feel like he's probably going to be the starting quarterback going into next year, regardless of what happens in the draft.
Let's just say that we took Kenny Pickett or somebody like that in the draft. I still think that Taylor would be starting week one next year.
Yeah, I was just looking at it. You guys ran 40 times for 190 yards.
You bullied them. You bullied the Panthers.
Chris McCaffrey is back, though. He looks good.
Cam Newton, his celebration after his touchdown where he ran in the middle of the field, that was, as the kids say, extra. Is that what they say? Extra? It was a little extra.
It was lit. Kind of cringe.
A little cringe. I thought it was cringe after the fact, TBH.

It was a little cringe because it just took so long for him to get to the middle of the field.

So, like, what is he going to do?

What is he going to do?

Oh, he's just standing on the middle of the field.

Well, he spiked it on the Panther.

Yeah.

At midfield.

Also, shout out to Sir Per, who's apparently a commissioned officer in the military this weekend.

Oh, wow.

He put on, like, the full officer uniform with the cap.

Hell, yeah. He looked awesome.
And to be honest, like, I really do think that the military should weekend. Oh, wow.
He put on the full officer uniform with the cap. Hell, yeah.

He looked awesome, and to be honest, I really do think that the military should have a mascot. Yes.
Billy. Yeah, it's Billy.
It should be Billy. It's Billy wearing a giant stuffed bald eagle costume rolling around with a Segway.
Yeah, it should be Billy. Dude, I would sign up so fast for the military.
The fan rolling up the Yes We Cam poster was so fucking funny. You just got to leave that hanging.
You have to just leave it. You can't take that home with you.
It was just this sad Panthers fan who was so excited for Cam Newton, which it was, admittedly, as a sports fan, it was a cool moment. It was a cool moment.
Cam Newton, especially when you have a younger franchise that hasn't been around forever, Cam Newton is the guy. He is the first guy you think of when you think of the Panthers behind maybe Jake DeLome.
Ray Carruth. Ray Carruth, Jake DeLome, Cam Newton.
Greg Olson was pretty quick to drop the old Hollywood could not write a script like this. Cam Newton coming back to the Panthers.

If you went into a script meeting in Hollywood, California, they would stab you with a knife

for even suggesting this.

They wouldn't be able to read it because it would all be in Cam's hieroglyphics.

It's actually like one of the more common tropes is the prodigal son returning.

Yeah.

It's like 50% of all movies.

You'd have to win a Super Bowl for me to be like, wow, this is crazy. They would snap your neck in Hollywood.
More likely, they're not going to go to the playoffs. And we're going to be like, wow, that was fun that time he came back.
But he looked okay. And, yeah, the Yes We Can poster.
She was just sitting. I don't know if it was a he or she.
Was just rolling it up. Like, all right.
Well, going to bring this one back to the garage. And we'll be back next Sunday with the Yes, We Can.
Cam did have a sick touchdown pass, though, to Christian McCaffrey. Yes, he did.
That was really nice. That was vintage Cam Newton right there.
Yeah, he looks better than he did last year. He remembered how to throw a football this year.
Maybe it's still weather in Carolina. I don't know what it is.
But, yeah, he's got a normal throwing motion. He's still very fast, very strong.
When he gets in the red area, he can still run over most people. He's still one of the best short yardage options in the history of professional football.
So if you're going to be the Panthers and you're not going to have really a shot at the playoffs this year, it's good that Cam's around. Yeah, and they still do have a shot at the playoffs because everyone has a shot at the playoffs because the seventh playoff spot, I actually hate it.
It's totally fucked up my brain where I see a team that's under .500 at this point in the season. I'm like, no chance.
But then we just talked about the Washington football team maybe going to the Yaws and the Eagles being like a Yawf team. So it makes no sense.
We're in the conversation for being in the hunt for the Yawfs. That's all I want right now.
We're still ahead of schedule from where we were last year. Nobody thought we were in the offs last year.
Yeah. And guess what? We're here.
We're back, bitch. The Vikings are firmly in the offs at five and five.
Also, this hat is two and O since I found this RG3 hat in Times Square for the low, low price of $5 from a street vendor. Hell yes.
Been rocking it. It's my magic luck hat now.
I love it. I love it.
You can never take it off. Never.
Never ever take it off. Alright, let's stay in the...
Until we're out of the offs, I'm wearing this every weekend. There you go.
Until you win the Super Bowl. If you win the Super Bowl, that hat goes to Canton.
Yes, absolutely. Alright, let's stay in the NFC East.
The Eagles, Saints, the Eagles have found something. We've...
Credit to Nick Sirianni. We've made fun of him a lot.
He wins his first game in Philadelphia. They have definitely found something offensively.
I actually am now, and I would love for Eagles fans to tell us how they're feeling, but I'm starting to see, like, you have three first-round picks. I'm starting to see a world where, like, maybe Jalen Hurts is the guy

if you run the ball a shitload.

Because he can make a few throws here and there.

You can't ask him to throw it 50 times.

But he's so dynamic running the ball, and they're so good running the ball

with their offensive line, there's a path.

So, Nick Sirianni, you get your first win in Philadelphia.

He definitely is going to go to, like like Geno's or Pat's or both

and do a TikTok or something and be like, I'm a real Philadelphian.

Yep.

But that was – the Eagles have found something,

and they are also – there's a couple teams out there that are semi-rolling.

Eagles are definitely one of them.

Eagles are rolling.

Darius Slay, he scored one touchdown in his first 125 NFL games.

He scored three touchdowns in his last four games since becoming a dad.

I don't know if he was already a dad, but since having the most recent child, he's got the opposite of whatever postpartum depression is. That was an all-time bad interception by Trevor Simeon.
There was like 10 seconds left in the half. The Saints had had a bad half, but they were, okay, we're not totally dead.
Oh, let me throw a pick six that was a no-doubter. He picked that off, and no one was even close to him.
I think that the Eagles, or excuse me, the Saints, I don't know what Sean Payton's waiting for. Call Phillip Rivers right now.
Simeon is not the guy. Call Phillip Rivers.
He's probably going to be itching to get out of the house after Thanksgiving when he has his entire family over. Call Phillip Rivers, get him working, or at the very least, get Tebow back there and do the Taysom Hill Tebow.
Tebow and varsity Tebow. That would be sick.
The wing and a prayer offense. I mean, the Saints are dealing with, obviously, I think both their starting guards out.
Or no, yeah, both their starting guards were out.

They also, obviously, Kamara's not out, which is, he's incredible,

but this is a problem when he's out.

He's like 90% of your offense, not only catching, but, you know,

not only running, but catching.

It's like when Christian McCaffrey is out for the Panthers.

That's the exact thing.

You just lose everything.

But the Saints defense is still awesome, and they have a top-five rushing run defense in the league, and the Eagles were able to just push them around, and the Eagles were able to run all over them. I think they ran for 242 yards.
Jalen Hurts had three touchdowns. I don't know.
I came away from that game being like, listen, the Saints have problems. We knew they had problems.
They're on Trevor Simeon. They have injuries everywhere.
But the Eagles, like the Saints are still a team that if you get, you can't sleep on them. You know what I mean? Like they might have a bunch of injuries, but they're not an easy out, and the Eagles kind of made it an easy out for them.
I still feel like if Sean Payton actually sticks with Trevor Simeon through the end of the season and doesn't make an effort to do something about it. We called Teddy Bridgewater.
Yeah, he would. You know, he did.
He did. He tried.
He tried to get Bridgewater back on the team. Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, he needs to do something different because otherwise, and this is the craziest part, is the Saints are still in the playoffs right now. I feel like they've been.
Everyone's in the playoffs. Everyone's in the playoffs right now.
Everyone's in the playoffs. But the Saints feel like a team that's way worse than their 5-5 record right now based off how they played recently.

But I feel like Sean Payton is just kind of playing the draft pick game without saying

out loud he's playing the draft pick game if he sticks with Simeon.

Right.

Right.

I'm not a professional talent evaluator at quarterback, believe it or not, as smart as

I am, but Sean Payton can tell that Trevor Simeon stinks.

If the Saints just win the games they're supposed to win, they will finish 9-7. If they win the games they're going to be favored in, they will finish 9-7.
And so there's still a chance for them to go to the playoffs, but obviously the last three games, they lost to the Falcons, the Titans, and the Eagles after they had that huge win against the Bucs, and it hasn't looked pretty. And I don't know.
Maybe you just hope that everyone gets healthy. I guess that's really all you can do.
Just hope. They always say hope is not a strategy.
That's bullshit. Yeah.
Hope is a great strategy. You just think positive thoughts, and you just hope that the universe takes care of all the actual steps and processes for you.
I'll tell you one thing. I'm actually going to say it right now.
Now, obviously, it doesn't actually eliminate either team, but I'm declaring Thursday night, Thanksgiving night, loser leaves town. Saints, Bills.
If you lose that game, if you're the Bills and you lose that game to a hobbled Saints team, it's over. And if you're the Saints and you lose that game, it's probably over.
It might have been over anyway, but it's probably over because now you've lost four in a row and it's getting back. It's really, really over.
And you've got to play the Cowboys. But then, yeah, if the Bills lose it, they're in deep trouble.
The Bills should win this game. Might be a loser leaves town.
I might declare it a loser leaves town. It might be.
I mean, Bills fans in New Orleans are going to have the time of their lives. Oh, it's going to be so good.
That's going to be great. So good.
You talk about the drunkest people in America. Going to be incredible.
Godspeed. Jalen Hurts, you're right, though.
Looking at his stats right now and looking at the Philadelphia rushing stats, the Eagles are building something. They're three running backs.
There are three top running backs. They might have the best three-headed monster that there is.
When you look at Miles Sanders, Jordan Howard, and Boston Scott, all pretty good options. Miles Sanders had like six yards, six and a half yards per carry today against a good Saints defense.
I'm going to give even more credit to Nick Sirianni. I actually don really know I need to listen to our friend Big Ang Down in Philadelphia to get a pulse on Eagles fans Big Ant But his name's Angelo No that's a different guy We called him Angelo We assumed his name It was Angelo But his name's Anthony We assumed his name I love that guy When I meet somebody from, I assume that their name is Angelo.
Maybe we should have him

back on. Just ask him how Philly

fans are. We'll wait till there's a big

Eagles game and then we'll have him on.

When you guys held him on hold for like an hour. Yeah, that was

mean of us, but he was being mean to us. He started the

radio war against us. And then in

a twist of fate, he was like,

I actually am just jealous of you guys.

That was awesome. And then he became our best

friend. It was a good moment.
I haven't talked to him. I love him.
I mean, he is the most Philadelphia person ever. He's one of my friends I lost in 2019.
Yep. Yeah, we made a friend.
Yeah. Yeah.
But I actually am very curious where Eagles fans, we'll ask Smitty and Roan, but Nick Sirianni is doing a very good job with the Eagles because he is proving that it's not about who you have on your team. It's about playing to their strengths.
Jalen Hurts is not a prototypical pocket passer. If you want to make him just try to pass the ball all game long, you're going to fail.
And they said, hey, we have a really good offensive line, an experienced offensive line that can dominate teams. We have some good running backs.
We have Jalen Hurts. Let's change our entire philosophy and let's become a run-first, run-all-the-time team.
And then every now and then throw it to Devontae Smith, who's incredible. I don't know.
I think they just deserve a ton of credit for what they're doing. Because I feel like if you look at the Eagles from September, you'd think that they were completely lost and everyone was saying, well, we have three draft picks and that's all we're going to look forward to.
Now they legitimately have a chance to go to the playoffs and they're playing really good football going into December. If Nick Sirianni can put it together with this Eagles team, get them to the playoffs, we need to start having the boy genius conversation about Nick Sirianni.
Seriously, though, we don't give enough. We bash guys all the time, and I'm saying the royal we in the media, obviously.
Not just us. Not just us.
He is such enough to the city of Philadelphia. I would be remiss if I didn't call that out.
Yeah, no, of course. And he also had some very weird press conferences and some weird analogies that he threw out there, but he has figured out a way to, and they've won, what, 3 or 4, so it's not like they're lighting the world on fire, but they're doing enough to make the team competitive, and we've said it many, many times, not everyone can be a great team.
Sometimes it's just nice to have your team be like, hey, Sunday, I'm looking forward to watching them. And the fertilizer, I'm starting to see a little bit of plant growth through the fertilizer, through the shit that is.
Because got fertilizer either there are three options one you just have a giant field of shit two you have a car bomb that's going to explode eventually and then three mcveigh well yep too soon okay and then third you've got the little bit plant the little like tiny little flower that's starting to poke through it's butting through yeah i'm seeing a little posy something through that something there and then you know maybe howie roseman goes and just steps on it and smushes it. But we don't know.
Or he's like, I grew this. Yeah, I grew this.
It's me, Howie. Yeah, Jeffrey Lurie.
Look at this. I grew this right here, this plant.
All right. You know that one sandwich you always crave? The one that just hits every single time? For me, it's a simple yet perfect combination.
Boar's Head Oven Gold Turkey, sliced thin, piled high on fresh sourdough, with sharp cheddar, crisp lettuce, tomato, a little honey mustard, and just a touch of mayo. Simple, but the flavors, unreal.
And that's the thing. When you start with quality ingredients, you don't need to do much.
Boar's Head is my go-to because every bite tastes like it was made just for me. Premium cuts, incredible flavor, and that perfect balance of freshness.
So next time you're at the deli, do yourself a favor. Ask for Boar's Head and build your ultimate sandwich.
Trust me, you'll taste the difference. Head to your local Boar's Head Deli and experience the craftsmanship behind every bite.
Next up, 49ers 30, Jags 10, 49ers. This was a big question of coming off a big Monday night game against the Rams, dominated them, riding high.
Can you get up for a 1 o'clock game against the Jacksonville Jaguars? And yes, they did. Starting with I'm still mad at Kyle Shanahan for kicking a field goal on that opening drive, but that has to be the longest field goal drive.
It might be the longest field goal drive ever. We'll have our stats guy look it up.
They went 13 minutes and 5 seconds, 20 plays and then kicked a field goal from the 1. Yeah.
I would feel like that was such a waste of my time at that point. Forget about the actual mathematics and advanced analytics or win probability behind kicking that field goal.
I would just be like, what did we just do? I can't believe I just spent all that time calling plays for three points. That felt like I used enough energy where it should be worth seven points worth of my voice.
Yes. It was baffling.
I don't know why they did that, but I guess, now that I'm talking it through, you kind of have to... If you go 13 minutes and 20 plays, you have to walk away with something.
We got nothing out of this. You're playing against the Jaguars, so three points might as well be 14.
But also, you don't want to give the Jaguars that little tiny bit of hope.

Because I just assume that the Jaguars start out every game,

and their fan base does too.

We know several Jaguars fans.

You just start out every game with zero hope.

And if they give you just like a slight window,

the door creases open a little bit,

and there's a faint bit of light at the end of the hallway,

you're like, wow, we can win a football game, maybe.

So you don't want to give that to them.

You're exactly right.

And then, I'll So you don't want to give that to them. You're exactly right because Urban Meyer said, in fact, we always talk about coach speak and looking at yourself in the mirror or if you're Matt Nagy saying no one's to blame but everyone.
But Urban Meyer is now at the phase of the Jaguars season where he's saying we're not far off i refuse to believe we're far off okay so he's he actually corrected himself yeah with the second part of that correct so he he said we're not far off well at least me personally i don't want if if we are far off i don't want to acknowledge that yeah no one tell me we're far off because i'm not going to hear it don't even put signs around me that say we're far off. Yeah, no, you're right that this was really for the Niners it was more of a test of do you consider yourselves to be professionals because you just had a big win, now you're playing a game everyone thinks that you should win anyways.
If you feel like you have a job that you want to keep for a while, this is a game that you should easily win. I also broke up publicly with Kyle Shanahan a couple weeks ago.
I couldn't take it anymore because I've always been a big Kyle Shanahan guy. I've always defended him, and the results weren't there.
I think he's personally trying to win me back because what he did today, he was like, hey, you know what? I'm Kyle Shanahan. I'm going to make Debo Samuel the best fucking running back in the NFL.
So Debo Samuel carried it eight times for 79 yards today and a touchdown. And he's just like, yeah, I'm going to do it because I can.
Well, sometimes coaches, they just see a player who's really good running with a football. And they're like, hey, why don't we let this guy run with a football more often? Yeah.
As opposed to just falling into the old trick of this guy plays wide receiver, so why would we ever hand the ball to him? He catches the ball. It was like, what the fuck? This is cool.
They just made their best wide receiver their best running back because they had one guy hurt. No, literally anybody, I think, could step in.
It's mostly Kyle Shanahan, when he stands next to you, you become a great running back. Yes.
If he breathes on you, if you share a meal with Kyle Shanahan, you can average 4.7 yards of carry in his own blocking speed. Yeah.
You can put your foot in the dirt and go. One cut.
That's all you need. Right.
Also, here's a fun stat about Jimmy G. He has the highest winning percentage on the road of any quarterback since the year 2000.
Wow. Any quarterback.
Wow. He's Mr.
Road. Wow.
He's a roadhead. He is.
Big time guy on the road. So, I mean, you can say that, okay, that doesn't really count because it's a quarterback win stat.
You could also say, like, Kyle Juszczyk has the highest winning percentage of any fullback in the NFL since the year 2000. You could say Kirk Cousins has the most 300-yard, three-touchdown performances in the first 10 years.
Yeah, but it is a fact that Jimmy G wins football games on the road one way or another. It is a fact.
You cannot disagree with it. Yeah, you can't.
You can say that I'm dumb for bringing it up, but guess what? It's correct. Yeah, and we like dumb facts on this show.
I just love the fact that I know, obviously, it's because Dan Mullen coached for Urban Meyer, and Urban Meyer obviously coached at Florida. But I just like the fact that Dan Mullen got brought up in Urban Meyer's press conference just because it's going to be fun.
He was like, he's a good friend of mine. I'm going to call him and his wife.
I didn't hear that. Yeah, make out probably.
Probably triple kiss. How upset do you think Lane Kiffin is? Because there are going to be rumors that he's going to take the Florida job too.
He's going to be like, hey, can your wife stick around and just kiss everyone that gets off the bus? I'm loving the fact that we're getting to a point now with the college coaching world that every single job that Urban Meyer would potentially ever want or has had is going to open up just to entice him to possibly come back and coach in the college ranks. I mean, now all we need is Brian Kelly to have some shocking scandal at Notre Dame.
Brian Kelly and then Ryan Day decides to go to the NFL, and we got everything. We have everything that Urban could ever want.
Whoever the coach at Utah is, too. Yeah.
All right. I do think Trevor Lawrence is...
I don't know what's going on.

Well, yeah. No one knows.

I think he's a bust. I actually, I've talked myself into thinking that Trevor Lawrence is

not going to be a good NFL quarterback. He's not

handling losing well. That was our big

concern about him going into this year. I don't

think, like, you can't say... You definitely

can't say that he's handling losing well.

No. But maybe you can say

that he's not handling it terribly

because he hasn't fully self-imploded.

He hasn't quit. Yeah, he hasn't tried to fight Urban Meyer yet.
Right. So, I guess he's handling losing averagely.
He, uh, I just don't know why they don't, like, back to the Nick Sirianni conversation, why don't they just run Clemson's offense for a year? Why don't they just, like, I know you don't want to get him hurt because he ran a little bit at Clemson, a lot of RPOs, but just do something that makes him feel comfortable so he gets his confidence back. You have to let him get a couple easy shots in.
You know what I mean? Like, compliment your boy. Just give him a couple compliments.
Make him feel good about himself. Maybe he will be able to play better than he is right now.
I think this is just becoming a situation where it's impossible to evaluate him. I'm going to need at least three years of tape on Trevor Lawrence before I make a definitive declaration.
But there's some bust smells coming from him. Yes, I'd agree.
I would agree. Some stink coming from him.
Also, Nick Bosa is – we kind of forgot about him because he got injured last year and he missed the whole year. He's officially a full-on game wrecker.
He's back back. He's a game wrecker.
He had his 10th sack today. I think he had two.
And then I saw a stat that a quarter of his pass rushes today, he got a QB pressure, which is pretty damn good. That is good.
So I think he's back to being a full-on game wrecker. I don't want to bring up a sore subject here, Big Cat, but Robbie Gold, why did the Bears let him go? Because it was explained at the time that he's not the future of the position in Chicago and that he's getting old.
And since he's been in San Francisco, he's been really, really good. I want to give you the opportunity to explore that thought.
It makes no sense. I mean, everyone loved him.
He did kind of suck. He had one of those kickers.
This is actually a good point to bring back to Packers fans is why you stick through the bad times. He did have a bad year.
He had a bad year where he was missing a lot of kicks. I can't remember what year.
He did also have the year where he got in a fight with Brandon Marshall. That was under Trestman, though, so I think he hung around for a couple more years.
He didn't get into a fight with Brandon Marshall. Yeah, but when your wide receiver and kicker are having locker room fights in week eight, that's never a good thing.
When your kicker feels emboldened, that's more of a coach's thing, though. If your kicker feels emboldened to pick a fight with a non-kicker on the team that's just bad organization from from a structural standpoint yes you need to keep your kicker a little bit more beaten down than that that actually wasn't too far off from the time that that uh that happened but yeah he had like one of those years where you're like wait is he getting old he missed six kicks which was off of his usual uh but yeah no it was a big mistake it a huge mistake the Bears shouldn't have done that I also think it was something about money I can't the Bears have made so many stupid things in the last forever forever is a long time but it's felt like forever you just pile it on you just throw it on you're like oh yeah fuck Robbie Gold I still like that guy, I still like that guy.
So root for him. Just a little sidebar here.
I'm getting a little bit concerned, Big Cat. I feel like Jake is really struggling to breathe over here.
I don't know. Did you not take your medicine? You haven't been taking your Afrin.
It's really cold in here, so that makes you a little stuffy. You're really stuffy.
Yeah, sorry. You're off the Afrin, though, right? Yeah, I've dabbled a little bit, but I'm kind of scarred from last year.
You can't even dabble with the Afrin, Jake. You'll snap right back into it.
Smelling salt in my face. It will help.
Yeah, it might clear it up. You should carry around those chips and say how long it's been since you've had.
Yeah, apologies if I'm a distraction. No, you're not.
I'm just worried about worried about you thank you I don't want anybody to die during this show now I'm like going down I feel like he missed a kick against the fucking Giants or something everyone's like man he's probably washed up but he wasn't he's not washed up why'd you do that to me I'm sorry I'm just why'd you do that because I saw him I saw him kicking today and I like no he's been very good for the last couple years why did this happen I remember it happening and being like it was a transition time I want to say it was when Treston was going out might have been I can't remember all the timeline is just so shitty now but I just remember he missed a couple kicks and everyone's like uh oh and then he was just good again because everyone gets good when they leave the Bears. All right, so we might as well because we're here.
Ravens 16, Bears 13. I don't really know what to say at this point.
They're such a poorly coached team. The Bears, you want to know a fun fact? The Bears haven't won a game off of the bye since 2013.
That's pretty bad. That's a pretty awful stat.
Yeah, isn't that crazy? No, it is actually crazy. Here's another one.
Matt Nagy's 0-4 off the bye. So that's bad, right? But in his defense, he's played against really good quarterbacks.
He's played against Aaron Rodgers. One of those four losses, Aaron Rodgers.
Teddy Bridgewater, ever heard of him? Tyler Huntley today. Yep.
Brock Osweiler. Great quarterback.
Ever heard of him? Yeah. Matt Nagy has lost.
He's 0-4 off the bye. Three out of four of those are against backup quarterbacks.
I think he just overthinks things. You want Matt Nagy to be playing on as little rest as possible.
I mean, he beat Tom Brady on, what, four days? Oh, my God. Once he starts thinking about stuff too much, then it all goes sideways for him and now we've got thanks to the Bears we've got Andy Dalton and Tim Boyle matching up on Thanksgiving Day I'm sorry I'm sorry yeah thank you for apologizing I'm sorry if you watch that game in its entirety you should actually get the USAA insurance it's that Rob Gronkowski's angling for it's you have to watch that game so, so bad.
It's also the unstoppable force versus the immovable object because the Lions, I have fought for the entire – you guys have heard me saying it. It's actually, like, disgusting that I keep saying it because it's an obsessive compulsive disorder that I think that the Lions are going to get their first win against the Bears on Thanksgiving Day.
I just say it every week. I'm like, it's going to happen.
It's going to happen. It's going to happen in front of everyone.
Everyone's going to sit down and watch it. And there's a small part of you that says, well, if the Lions get their first win on Thanksgiving Day, the Bears will definitely fire Matt Nagy, right? Yeah.
Well, no, because the Bears have never fired a coach in the middle of a season in the history of their franchise. The Bears are a charter member of the NFL.
Well, that's good. That's good because then you're going to lose a lot more games this season and then you're going to get a better draft pick.
It's insane. Yeah.
Thanks. Thank you.
No, it's good. Yeah.
The last thing that you want. The draft pick we don't have.
Yeah. Oh, I forgot about that.
No, I know you do. I know you didn't.
I keep making that joke. You can't make that back at me.
My fault. I actually did forget about it, but I'm going to now make it on purpose.
Oh, I make it all the time, and people are like, dude, you don't have a first-round pick. I fucking know I don't have a first-round pick.
Well, at least you still have the guy that you traded the first-round pick for. He's got ribs.
He's going to be okay. They're just ribs, a little bruise, a little bruise rib.
Oh, I was talking about the other guy that you traded a first-round pick away for. Listen, the Raiders.
Cleo Mack's still playing really well, right? How are the Raiders guys doing? Not so well. I actually don't think it was Henry Ruggs that was part of that pick package.
Lamar Jackson, we need to have a conversation. I'm worried about Lamar Jackson.
I think maybe he has celiac disease. Maybe he's, Billy was saying maybe he's got Crohn's.
I don't know what it is, but he's still sick he's got the worst butthole in north america yeah and it's clearly not a contagious sick because he was at the game like they saw him walk into the facility do you see how he's walking around he was doing the like verbal meme when the chipotle hits do you think he's just angling for a pepto-bismol sponsorship he might be doing that i don't know i just he's sick. Maybe he's like that kid in elementary school that just hates taking tests.
Yeah. And they're always sick on test day.
Yeah, but why would you hate playing the Bears? You're gonna just rack up yards against the Bears. That's a good point.
Like, that was the one game you should play. But either way, the...
Brett Huntley didn't lose it. Congratulations.
Tyler Huntley. Not Brett.
I always get him confused with Brett Hunt, the UCLA quarterback. Yeah, Brett Huntley.
Yes. This is Tyler um yeah he and they lost in such a Bears way like almost winning Andy Dalton nice guy really nice guy made a couple big throws I'm so sick of these guys I'll leave it with this because I don't want to talk about this god forsaken shit team and organization much longer although Virginia McCaskey sitting in the suite that was actually the summed up the whole thing Virginia McCaskey is like 120 years old never missed a game she's sitting up in the suite and the son is just fucking she's raw dogging the son it's just beaming right in her eyes that son is going to kill her and I don't know, maybe that's what they wanted.
Maybe that's what they're trying to do. Maybe that's all the kids and grandkids so they can sell the team and get some money.
But can we get this fucking lady some sunglasses? She doesn't deserve to go out like this. She couldn't see a thing, which, again, now that I'm saying it, might have actually been by design so they could be like, yeah, we played really well today.
Either way, that sequence, the Bears midfield, third and one, they take a deep shot, and they're playing Tyler Huntley, so punting isn't the worst idea here because you back him up and let him try to figure out. They take a deep shot, third and one, Matt Nagy's headset breaks.
He freaks out at everyone.

Oh, he tried to fight the NFL official, the guy that wears the yellow hat on the sidelines?

Again, it's not his fault.

It's everyone's fault.

He takes a timeout, which, okay, you didn't know what you were going to do on fourth down,

but whatever.

Your headset broke.

I guess you have to, even though you're standing right next to your special teams coach.

Takes a timeout, then runs wildcat.

It gets stuffed.

And also, we got called for holding. That we got called for holding that's hard to do that's hard to do uh this team is a fucking joke matt nagy's a joke he's not gonna get fired i'm gonna have to watch him for the rest of the year i'm gonna watch his stupid face and his squint being like he no one has things go wrong more than matt nagy and he just stares and he's like how could this possibly be going wrong? You dude, you, like someone just go walk up in front of him and put a mirror in front of his face while he's doing this stupid thing that he thinks is coaching.
I'm just excited to see what he says this week during his press conferences that will literally drive you insane. He's really good at it.
I mean dude he said taunting, kids are watching. Yeah Matt Nagy is the best coach ever in the history of the NFL at at saying the worst stuff ever he's so dumb he's so dumb it's like he knows it's like he knows that it's going to piss you off yeah particularly everyone i think he's engaged in a season-long silent feud against you and he's not going to get fired no he's not gonna get fired during the year but he's done after this think about this though he's going to lose to the lions the lions are going to get their first win dan campbell's going to get his first win with tim boyle and the bears won't fire him because it's the bears way to not fire a coach mid-season i actually don't i i'm not so sure about that it's the bears way it's the bears you have to prepare yourself for the worst case scenario at all times but um i don't i don't think that the bears are going to lose that game on it.
It's the Bears' way. It's the Bears' way.
And he don't look pretty good today. Thoughts and prayers to Justin Fields with his rib and apparently his spleen.
Yeah. He's got a spleen too.
No, I'm sure something horrific will happen to him. I've said it many times.
If the Bears had drafted Patrick Mahomes, you've got to hit him by a bus on Michigan Ave. Oh, initial test done on Bears quarterback Justin Fields today did not reveal any broken ribs per source.
Yeah, I confirmed that. Fields' ribs will undergo further tests on Monday.
Yeah. So I don't know what further tests.
They're going to re-X-ray his ribs. They're going to poke it and be like, does it hurt? They're going to hit it and be like, did we break it now? They're just going to keep touching it.
Ow, that hurts. Ow, that doesn't hurt.
Ow, that hurts. Alright.
Speaking of the Lions, let's talk about the Lions. Lions put up some fight.
Tim Boyle, you tried. Tim Boyle significantly outperformed my Tim Boyle expectations going into today.
He also made Jared Goff's a friend, so we're not going to bash him because we do love him. He hasn't had the best season.
But if you thought that Tim Boyle was better than Jared Goff, like, no. No, Jared Goff gives you your best chance to win right now.
Jared Goff with two strained obliques gives you a better job than Tim Boyle. Tim Boyle, he had a great game by Tim Boyle standards, we should say that.
The fact that he has completed, I think, three passes in his NFL history going into today. Yep.
He significantly outperformed that margin. Yes, he had a couple bad interceptions, but that's what you get when you sign Tim Boyle, former UConn standout.
Here's the bad part about Tim Boyle. I don't even think he was a standout at UConn.
No. I think he was like a very average UConn quarterback.
No. Who's now playing in the NFL.
Yes. Arlovsky was good at UConn.
He was nice at UConn. Yes.
Dan was good at UConn quarterback who's now playing in the NFL. Yes.
Arlovsky was good at UConn.

He was nice at UConn.

Yes.

Dan was good at UConn.

Tim Boyle. Tim Boyle was kind of like a game manager at UConn.

Something about the Lions just love UConn quarterbacks.

Tim Boyle, his name is just funny.

Tim Boyle is a friend of a friend who opens up a bar and then it fails within six months. Yeah, oh, Boyle's.
You're like, I never got to go there. Oh, oh, did you hear Derek's friend Tim? He opened up a bar.
We should go check it out. And then three months later, you say, oh, yeah, should we go check out the...
Oh, no, he's already running into the ground. Yeah, Tim Boyle is not he's a guy that you would love to have like assistant managing your bar and then but he he inherits some money and he tries to do it too soon i think he's like i think i'm ready to take that next step and open open up oh boils i think you call him assistant manager but you never let him manage without you there yeah you're you make the schedule yeah and then you just have your own schedule and you're like okay great job i'll take it from here tim yeah Yeah.
Appreciate it, Tim you there. Yeah.
You make the schedule. Yeah.
And then you just have your own schedule and you're like, okay, great job. I'll take it from here, Tim.
Yeah. Appreciate it, Tim.
Yeah. Yeah.
Tim Boyle is the guy who you make him assistant manager just so that when he has to get into that once every two months fist fight with the drunkest guy at the bar, you can be like, well, that is what the assistant manager has to do. Yeah.
Great job, Tim. Yeah, Tim.
Yeah. Thanks, Tim.
There's another guy puking in the bathroom. As assistant manager, I think that falls under your purview to go get him out.
That's why we pay you the big bucks, Tim. Yeah.
Tim Boyle has one great idea at your bar. He's like, I'm thinking Thursday night, ladies night.
Great job, Tim. And then he runs off that.
He puts that on every resume when he applies for a job outside the service industry.

He's like initiated new marketing features at the bar, which increased food sales 125% on Thursday nights.

Yeah, you made it so hot chicks got in free, Tim. Yes.

And Tim also, this is getting very specific for any Tim Boyles out there.

Tim Boyle does also seem like a guy who he starts dating a woman who has like maybe, I don't know, a nine-year-old and uh he tries to fill the dad role and the kid's like no no you're tim boy like no he's like yeah i'm gonna take i'm gonna take little like johnny down the roller coaster johnny's like no i don't want to do that with you tim boyle tim's got a two seat he's got two seat coupe and then he trades it in after dating the chick for two weeks and he gets a honda civic si

with the tiniest backseat in the world buys a nice car seat and then he shows up and she's like no he's with his real dad yeah today again yeah and his real dad is fucking awesome yeah and we had to break up because he was so awesome yeah all he did was awesome shit i couldn't handle it anymore Tim Boyle's car smells like cigarettes

Nine years after he quit smoking

Tim Boyle's car smells like cigarettes nine years after he quit smoking. Tim Boyle.
Good game, Tim Boyle. Congrats to the Lions.
They managed to get an unsportsmanlike penalty in between quarters today. Love it.
That's biting kneecaps. I think that's officially biting kneecaps.
It's biting kneecaps, but it was one of the players. I think the official explanation Dan Campbell gave was he said something about another guy's mother in between quarters.
So I don't want to say that's a discipline issue just because I don't want to say anything bad about Dan Campbell because I feel bad for him. Yeah.
And I love him. But it's kind of a discipline issue.
I have a question for the Browns front. So the Browns have now won three games where they've scored 17 points or less.
Obviously, running the ball is their MO. At what point, though, and we like Baker, but at what point is anyone going to step in and be like, yo, Baker Mayfield is really injured.
Like, he's really injured. He's got a torn labrum.
He's got, I think, a deep bruise on his knee and a heel injury. And someone either should – there's two courses of action.
One, someone should step in and say, Baker Mayfield, you've got to sit down, get healthy. Your money is at stake now because your fifth-year contract option is coming up.
They're probably going to pick it up, but also you're not playing well right now because you're so injured. So either do that option or hire Russell Wilson and Big Ben's agent so that everyone can talk about how injured you are because no one talks about how injured Baker Mayfield is.
Baker started to this week. He should.
He was the first person that went through the list of the injuries that he had, but Baker needs to have somebody else doing that for him. And by somebody else, I don't mean his wife, who after the game put up a caption on Instagram saying maybe the rest of the team should take a note from how tough Baker is.
He is! But just get somebody that's not in your immediate family. We're doing it for you, Baker.
Baker Mayfield is severely injured, and he's putting the team on his back right now. But he is.
Like, he actually, you watch him play. In a weird way, I almost feel like his injuries make him run more deceptively.
Because when he's running and he's got like a limp in his step, you don't know where he's going to be cutting. So when he was scrambling around the pocket stay, on a couple occasions, I saw him running and I was like, he's like putting some like rhythmic jukes out there.
And then after he would throw the ball, I'd be like, oh no, that's just because his knee is swollen, which is making him run like that. So in a weird way, I thought he played pretty decently on the amount of injuries that he had today.
But he's hurt. But it's mostly that the running game for the Browns is great, and Nick Chubb, it's gloveless season for Nick Chubb.
He's going skin on skin with the football. Love it.
And I love when that happens. Nick Chubb is amazing.
And we need to give credit to the Browns' offensive line. Yeah.
More specifically, we need to give credit to Callahan, their offensive line coach, who I think is now far and away the best offensive line coach in the league now that – what's his name? Skarnecchia. Now that Skarnecchia is gone.
He might be back. Who knows? Yeah.
I feel like he's retired and unretired five times. We don't know.
He gets bored when he doesn't have football to coach. But Callahan is a fucking awesome.
Everywhere that he's gone, the offensive line has been incredible. And so the Browns offense, they can run the ball at will because, yeah, they've got Nick Chubb.
They've got Kareem Hunt. They can chunt you to death.
But they also got the guys up front that are playing really, really well right now. And they're all under contract.
But I just think Baker Mayfield, at some point it's a detriment to your team. It's admirable that he's playing.
He's tough as hell. But someone's got to step in and say, what's going on here? You're clearly not healthy.
And this is probably not good. Wouldn't you rather try to tread water, especially against a Lions team, that you're going to beat most likely with Case Keenum.
Get him a week or two off and then try to – because you still have a roster that could make the playoffs, but it's not going to do anything if Baker Mayfield is this injured the rest of the year. Yeah, I think that this was probably the game that you would do it in.
Yeah. This could have been a Case Keenum game.
Speaking of injuries, Tim Boyle definitely is like, yeah, I play basketball, and then

he shows up, and he's wearing old Bill Russell's shoes, and he then blows both of his ACLs

within the first two minutes, and then is in a wheelchair at the bar, and it's really

sad.

Yeah.

He's like, dude, why are you in a wheelchair?

Oh, I tried to play a little pickup.

Why did you try to play a little pickup? Oh, well, my son, well, he's not my son. His dad invited me, and I had to fucking, I couldn't say no.
Yeah, I actually think we should talk about whether or not Tim Boyle's injured, because he played pretty poorly today. He played below what I thought that Tim Boyle could be doing.
Tim Boyle, this is not the Tim Boyle that we all expected right now. Yeah, I can't wait for Tim Boyle on Thursday.
Oh, my God. Tim Boyle versus Andy Dalton, just what America wants.
Tim Boyle, Andy Dalton. This is where it really becomes difficult as a fan to lie about how much we need to watch football because it's going to be on Thanksgiving.
There will be relatives in your house on Thanksgiving that don't understand why you're watching football. And unless you're mentally tough, you will allow them to break through into your mind and convince you that you shouldn't be watching this game because there will be a big part of you that's like, why am I watching Andy Dalton and Tim Boyle? You need to have your excuses.
You need to pick up people right now off the waiver wire in fantasy football that will be playing in this game so that you can steal yourself against the people that will try to convince you to turn this game off. Or you could just be like, you see that quarterback for the Lions? I used to go to his bar before I closed down.
And they'd be like, oh, really? What? I didn't know that. Yeah, Tim Boyle.
And they'll be like, oh, that makes sense. Yeah sense how much just a thought starter how much do you think I know it's not legal and it would be there'd be hoops you'd have to jump through but if the NFL had any wherewithal or flexibility how much do you think we could pay Peyton and Eli to suit up for the Lions and the Bears and have a Manning Bowl on Thanksgiving being

like no sack in the quarterback.

Because that would be worth watching.

Like, let's say, hey, guys, America, we don't want to watch Andy Dalton versus Tim Boyle.

So both these teams are going nowhere.

One of you gets Peyton.

One of you gets Eli.

No sack in the quarterback.

We pay them each $10 million.

Let's watch that.

How awesome would that be?

I think if you told Peyton that his touchdowns would count towards his career total.

So that he could potentially overtake Tom Brady again.

And it counts as a Super Bowl.

And it counts as a Super Bowl.

Whoever wins this gets another ring.

You'll have one ring over the other manning.

It's to officially declare who the most successful manning quarterback is.

Also, if you don't, we kill Arch.

Just saying. That would probably make them get out there and play.
Let's do it. All right.
Texans-Titans. I didn't really write much down for this game other than Vrabel was like the wettest coach I've ever seen.
Actually, I have that note right here. Yeah.
Mike, he looked like a cat that got dropped in a pond. It was so bad.
And he didn't even move. He just kind of stood there just wallowing in his own wetness.
Wetness. This was a game where we thought you saw the score.
You saw what was happening. You're like, yeah, but the Titans aren't going to lose, are they? And then, yeah, they lost.
If you're a Titans fan, you could either say that was the end of a great streak where they beat five really good teams, and they were eventually going to have a letdown spot. It was a weird game.
Or you could say, hey, this is now a couple few games in a row where our offense without Derrick Henry has not looked great. Well, the Texans went with the Jets method of being a really shitty team before you play against the Titans, and then you can beat them.
Right. The Jets gave them the blueprint on that.
And the underdog is 14 and 13 straight up in Titans games in the last 27. 14 and 13? Yeah.
Oh, straight up. Yeah.
Straight up. Yeah.
Money line. Money line.
So money line, underdogs, they can beat the Titans. It's when the Titans are being disrespected that they're able to get out there and beat the shit out of you.
Yes. I mean, really kick the shit out of you.
They're like the Tom Herman of the NFL. Right, right.
Ryan Tannehill had a great chase down, almost tackle, on his interception. Saw that.
Mr. Ryan T, as many are calling him.
But then I thought that the game was over when they intercepted that Ryan Tannehill pass, and then they got tackled. I thought that they had to have that touchdown.
The Texans needed a touchdown on a play like that if they're expected to win. But they chased them down to Texas, ended up pulling it out.
Terod Taylor had two awesome rushing touchdowns. And on one of them, I thought for sure, like, this is a Terod Taylor.
I'm going to get injured for the rest of the season jump. He tried to leap over everybody and get into the end zone.
They also had a great maybe the most texans drive of all time you ready for this the texans had a seven minute drive it went 40 yards so 40 yards and so that's like 5.8 yards per minute and then they punted and then they recovered the muff punt so the their best offensive play maybe of the entire afternoon was a punt that was's David Culley football. That's incredible.
That's how you win. That's incredible.
Hank, what are you—now, this is going to break the fourth wall here. What are you celebrating so much? We're taping this during Sunday Night Football.
You've gone insane like five times. I put in a crazy parlay plus that if the Steelers hold out, it to hit.
Thanks for sending it. Plus 4,500.
I mean, it was. Yeah, thanks.
We usually bet together on it. You would have bet Austin Eckler to score three touchdowns.
Yes. Over 47.5.
Yes. Chargers minus 6.5.
Yes. Roethlisberger over two touchdowns.
Yes. I actually.
That's my bad. I would have bet Austin Eckler to score four touchdowns.
Yeah. Did he?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Wow.

Yeah, so we were – Thanks, Hank.

I'm sorry, guys.

Wow.

I would have convinced you to put four touchdowns.

I'm just not going to have any part in.

I'm really –

Potentially.

You've always shared.

We've always shared.

I'm really happy for you.

We've always shared.

You didn't.

And then on Sunday night –

No, I'm happy.

Yeah, yeah, it's fine.

We always say, hey, what is everyone betting on tonight?

Hank didn't say a word when you –

I bet the Steelers, too.

This was my hedge.

This was my, like, little –

Yeah.

Little big-on hedge.

How much to win what?

I'll see you next time. We always say, hey, what is everyone betting on tonight? Hank didn't say a word when you said that was awful.
I bet the Steelers, too. This was my hedge.

This was my little big-on hedge. How much to win what?

100 to win 4,600.

Oh, that's cool.

That's cool.

Hank.

That's cool.

That's a cool move.

No, no, that's a cool move.

I'm really, really, really happy for you.

That's a cool move.

It's not over.

I just saw Billy's face.

I've never seen Billy this disappointed.

You probably just mushed it.

What could mush it?

If the Steelers cover. I mean, there's four minutes left in the game.
Anything can happen. All right, but that just deflated.
That's a bad teammate of the week. What are you talking about? I saw Billy's face.
I've never seen him that sad. We could have shared these things, Hank.
Could have been celebrating together. Okay.
Hank's a lot. Oh, my God.
You guys are... David Culley, Coach of the Year.
Yeah, sure. Two wins for the Texans.
Actually, if David Culley gets four wins with this Texans roster, I think he should be Coach of the Year. You know how we talk about how Mike White in the middle of his...
The Mike White mania. Yeah.
Mike White sanity that hit Mike White sanity that hit New York. Mike White is right.
Yeah. Mike White power surge that happened.
David Culley should just fake a heart attack right now and go out on top. Dude, you've won two games this Texas roster.
You beat the Titans. You beat one of the best teams in the entire NFL.

And you made Mike Vrabel look like the wettest person of a lot. Yeah, he was so wet and so sad.

Yes, it was bad.

It was very sad.

He needed like a hat.

Vrabel's not a hat guy, but if you're in a downpour,

you either have to have a hat or you just need a little lackey next to you

with an umbrella holding for you.

You're telling me you guys didn't do any other little parlays or sprinkle props? No. No, I told everybody all my bets that I made.
We've done multiple Sunday nights. We've done it.
This all started because of you a month and a half ago when we're like, we all have to bet together on Sunday nights. Because it's fun when we cheer together and win something big together.
And we all took the Steelers. And you just didn't...
We all took the Steelers and you just hedged against it with something that's going to win. It's fine.
I'm going to start sending you guys all my bets. No! Sunday night is all we care about when we sit here all together.
If you have a bet that's going to win you $4,600 off a $100 investment, that's something I would be interested in hearing about. On a Sunday night when we're all sitting here.
I did it when I was in this room. You guys were finishing getting prepared for the show.
I'm just glad that you're glad, Hank. That's it.
No, I'm happy for you. If Hank's a happy boy, then a rising tide lifts all boats.
Yes. That's actually not true either.
I did it before. Yeah, you did it.
I know what you did. You did it right after PFD said, what's everyone betting tonight? You said nothing? Nothing.
Why do you ask? All right. Let's go to one more ad, and then we'll finish the games.
PFT, what do we have? Yeah, so I want to talk to you about a brand-new sponsor, actually, Mack Weldon. Love Mack Weldon.
They are now sponsoring part of my take. You're a busy guy.
Stop thinking about what to wear. Just embrace the radically efficient Mack Weldon daily wear system.
That's right. The daily wear system is a selection of clothes.
It's rooted in smart design, made with performance fabrics, and built to work together. Oh, that's a shame.
Oh, my fucking God. Which has happened.
God. Which has happened.
Hank, what's going on? Finish the fucking ad read. Finish the fucking ad read.
Oh, no. Finish the ad read.
Finish the ad read. The Steelers look very happy.
Finish the ad read, PFT, and then we'll get to this. I'm going to pretend this didn't happen, and I'm going to finish the ad read, Hank.

Mack Weldon, radically efficient wardrobing. Well, that's an unfortunate turn of events.
After what you did yesterday, this is disgusting. No, you did this.
Your gambling karma could not be lower. You did this.
It's definitely astrology. You're the only one to blame.
No, those are the Chick Astros fans from the World Series, Bill. We live and die together.
That's crazy. So, Hank, what do you need to happen? I need the Chargers.
I did bet the Steelers. So we're happy.
So it's a team win. That's good.
Yeah. Not for 4,600.
Let's go. That's right.
We all bet the Steelers together like we said. Yep.
Oh, no. Is Big Ben okay? You can't reverse that one.
We've made a pact to all bet together.

We all bet the Steelers together, and then you made a side hedge.

Usually text around the parlor pluses.

And then if the Steelers cover, which we all bet together, which is awesome,

your side hedge loses.

Remember Antonio Brown?

We rode together.

We died together for that, and that was incredible.

Let's go Steelers. Big Ben with a pump fake.
Oh. Okay.
I'm rooting for you, Hank. I'm rooting for you, Big Cat.
No, I'm rooting for you. Not rooting for you.
Nope. I said it first.
Nope. I said it first.
I'm rooting for all of us. Mm-hmm.
Get that Steelers cover. Yeah.
Let's go, boys. Right.
Yep. Yeah.
Everyone. That's the point.
Everyone wins. We would all win.

You bet the Steelers.

Yeah.

All right. Money line.
You really put yourself in a pickle in here. That's why.
I was like, I'm going to bet the Steelers money line. And if the Steelers get blown out, I'll do a little hedge with the Chargers.
This is going to be Steelers score, and then they're going to tie it, and then the Chargers are going to kick a field goal. Oh my God, Hank.
Damn. There's a lot of time left.
Alright, let's get to the rest of the games. We'll update everyone.
That was a nice little peek into the world, the part of my take. Live.
What a game. It's been an incredible game, which you actually heard us talk about at the beginning.
All right, Dolphins, Jets. I just love it.
Jake just outfitting Billy any which way he can. No, it's cool.
Rex Ryan said we're fine. He went and met with Salah, and we're good.
Oh, what a pussy. He's got a plan.
Rex Ryan said he heard him. He's a very smart guy,

and there's a direction of the team.

So don't worry about it.

The future is bright.

That's kind of like the Rex Ryan cycle that we've been used to recently

is he puts his foot in his mouth,

no pun intended,

and then he gets somebody mad at him.

He's like, I don't know why this guy's mad at me.

And then he sits down, makes peace with him,

and then he has another week of content of,

yeah, now me and Baker, we're on great terms now.

So that's just kind of what Rex Ryan does.

Joe Flacco looked pretty good today.

I don't know. and then he has another week of content of, yeah, now me and Baker, we're on great terms now.

So that's just kind of what Rex Ryan does.

Joe Flacco looked pretty good today. I would dare say that the New York Jets have one of the best quarterback rooms

in all the NFL.

Oh, wow.

They're all just kind of the same quarterback.

And they're all legends in their own right.

No one's particularly great, but no one's awful awful

if you discount Mike White's most recent two games. So you know how you guys were saying? Every team's in it.
The Dolphins are 4-7. Home Panthers.
Home Giants. Buy home Jets.
Whoa. 7-7 at Christmas.
They could get it. Wild guard.
They could get it. And I'm a Tua believer.
He played well today. Tua's playing well.

They threw the deep ball, too.

Yes, they threw the deep ball.

It wasn't just dink and dunk Tua.

A little play action going well.

I am now the Tua fans.

I don't know if we're going to be able to finish this podcast.

The Tua fans are major issues.

Are you mad at me?

Nope.

I don't know what I did wrong. You did nothing wrong.
Except most of me, whatever. It is what it is.
I shouldn't have been celebrating, but I didn't, you guys act like that was over. You act like the bet was over.
If Hank has suicide best right now, he would blow it up and kill everybody in this room. Well, not to mention that I also, uh, I cash out Steelers money line.
Down money. What the fuck? Because I thought this was going to hit.
Oh no! Hank, so you do not have the Steelers. So you didn't really bet the Steelers with us and you also don't have them anymore.
I literally, as when the Chargers, or no, when the Steelers went down seven, I was like, whatever. I'll get out.
I'll just get a little out of it. There's no way the Steelers are winning this game.
When did you catch out? When was that, though? When they were down seven. While we were recording? Yeah.
So we're doing the podcast, and Hank's brain is probably right before. He's calculating all these devious little schemes to make money.

I fucking hate you.

I'm rooting for Hank. You know what?

You know what?

I'm willing to give up my win.

I am too.

I am too.

If it means that Hank wins this.

I am too.

I'm forgoing.

I am too.

I'm disavowing my bet.

Me too.

Officially disavowing my bet.

I don't want my bet to win.

I'll be rooting for the Chargers to win by seven.

I will not accept my winnings. Yep.
I'll donate them to charity. And I'll match.
Yep. And we'll double.
There it is. If Hank can win.
What a pickle. What a pickle.
All-time pickle. All right.
We're all on Hank's team now. Hank.
Let's go. Hank's giving.
Hank. Hank.
Hank. Hank.
Hank. Hank.
Hank. Let's go, Hank.
Let's do it. I still don't think I did anything wrong.
But two is good. Two is good.
Two is good. Two is good.
Flacco is back. Two touchdowns.
It's weird watching him wear number 19. Did you or did you not talk about the bet like it was over? Okay.
Did you or did you not? Yes or no. Fact or fiction.
That was a bet. Fact or fiction.
Yeah, no, no, fact. But what I'm saying, I did nothing wrong.
We all said, what are we going to bet together? And we did it. We bet the Steelers and then you made a side bet that hedged against our bet.
I'd say it. So I don't, like, that's a very bad friend move and a bad karma move.
It was a crazy parlay. It was a secret bet.
You made a secret bet. Yeah, if you weren't ashamed of your bet, you would have said it out loud and told your friends.
Yeah, it was a fucking shot. It was a shot.
I took a big shot. Austin Eckler scored three touchdowns.
It was crazy. That was crazy.
I would have thought he'd had four. Can we finish this show?

Yeah.

I don't know if we can.

I'm not saying anything.

I'm rooting for you now because you're mad and I'm rooting for you.

I thought we all had bet together.

You got this, Hank.

I didn't know you had a secret hedge and now I'm rooting for the secret hedge.

Okay.

Because you also cashed out the bet we bet together, which you also didn't even bet the bet we bet together.

You bet the money.

I mean, you know how I fucking go.

Fourth and goal, they've got stuff.

Fourth and inches, unreal. Okay.
Let's finish the show. Wait.
Can your bet win in overtime? Nope. Well, no.
Steelers money. But that's cashed out.
No, we cashed that one out. Let's finish the bet.
Let's finish the show. Tua's good.
He is. I think Tua's a fine young man.
Jake, how does it feel to own Billy in everything you do in life? I don't know about that. Wow.
Come on. He can lift more than me.
Nah. I don't know.
I don't even know. He's lost a lot of weight.
I still got my torn labrum. Okay.
All right. So you're worth it.
At least I'm a labrums. Yeah.
Yeah. You have your labrums.
Yeah. So Dolphins 500 by Christmas.
Heard it here first. Wow.
And Billy, the Jets are just a disaster. Nah, dude, Rex Ryan says there's good stuff coming.
He said. I'm a full-on Tua believer now, though.
I really am. I like Tua.
When is your quarterback's PCL going to get better? Doesn't matter. He's learning.
Okay. So you don't want him back at all this year? I want him to just learn.
Just keep learning. Just keep learning.
Just keep learning. All right.
Let's go to the next game. Cardinals-Seahawks.
I am officially done with the Seahawks. Okay.
So I spent the majority of this game yelling at the TV, yelling at the Seahawks, just do something. Do something.
Do something. Play football.
Yeah. Get yards.
Do something on offense. They do nothing on offense.
They don't do anything. Once in a while, once every half, they'll throw a 40-yard pass to lock it.
That's about it. Yeah.
Besides that, they don't do anything. Take a couple shots at DK Metcalf.
That would be, you know. Do something.
Do something. Russell Wilson, maybe, just a thought, don't have every agent and every reporter in the NFL talk about how miraculous your recovery was and how you worked 19 hours a day to come back with your finger injury and you made a video saying, I'm back, a succession video that made no sense, and all this hoopla about how Russell Wilson, it's incredible, he had his doctor release a statement saying it's a medical miracle that you're back, and then just suck complete ass, and really actually, all I think is Geno Smith probably gives him a better chance to win so in the statement his doctor made it was like i've never seen a healthier finger in my life than russell wilson's middle finger right now it's it's unbelievable what this guy's finger has been able to accomplish it's the hand of god that russell wilson has and he stinks and the seahawks stink and even worse for the Seahawks, the entire organization right now is kind of in a place where they have to make a transition and one of two guys is probably going to be gone if the season continues the way that it's going right now.
And it'll be Pete Carroll or Russell Wilson, maybe both, but the Seahawks don't even really know who has the ability to fire their head coach right now because they're still kind of up in limbo from when Paul Allen passed away, whether or not his wife has the power, who has all the power, and who can make these decisions. But again, I feel like when I look at their uniforms, I'm always like, this is a good team because it's the Seahawks wearing this uniform.
There are a few positions. We were talking about the Kyle Shanahan running back.
It doesn't matter who it is. I feel like you're always going to be good.
If you're wearing a Harlem Globetrotters uniform, I expect that you're going to be dunking on a 6'3 white guy and be awesome at basketball. But if you're wearing a Seattle Seahawks uniform, I expect the team to go out there and play decent football, aggressive football, and they're just boring right now.
Yeah. Really boring.
No, they suck. Russell Wilson, since he's been back, they have one touchdown in 19 possessions.
Something is wrong. Do something.
Your fingers hurt. You can't be under center as much, which I assume is the finger.
You can't have it both ways, Russ. You can't talk about how miraculous your comeback was and how it's incredible that you're here and 19 hours a day and then you completely suck.
And it's kind of like the Baker Mayfield situation where it's like someone should say something like, hey, and he wasn't as bad today as he was last week against the Packers, but their offense was terrible. They just didn't do anything.
They had that one drive at the end, which the Cardinals then went and scored against them. Have Geno Smith play.
Maybe he'll give you a better chance. It just sucks.
I'm done with the Seahawks. Don't let me bet on the Seahawks ever again this year.
I just can't do it. They are so, so frustrating.
I had this as my line in the sand. They just blew the line in the sand.
It's not there anymore. They don't care.
Season's over. Forget it.
Well, what the Seahawks have really stolen from us is that at least when they were average like a middling team, they'd always play some fucked up games. It was fun.
And there'd be something crazy that was going to go on, and you never knew what was going to happen in a game. Now they're just boring and bad.
They're going like three and out. Their offense looks shitty.
Chris Carson's out for the season. And, yeah, I don't know what the future of the franchise looks like, but it's going to look different next year, I think.
Yes, yes. Also, stat that I didn't realize, which I wish I had realized going into this game, Colt McCoy.
Colt McCoy has started three times in Seattle for the Browns, the Giants, and now the Cardinals. 3-0.
Wow. That's weird.
Yeah. And it's like those are through some years that the Seahawks were very good.
Yeah. He just owned Seattle.
Three presidencies. Three presidencies.
3-0 in Seattle with three different franchises. Pretty impressive.
Colt McCoy like if you look at his career as a backup. Not talking like discounting his starting years.
Well I guess you could compare him to other starting quarterbacks that have then become backups and had good careers. I feel like Colt McCoy is like a top five backup of the modern era.
Yes.

In terms of like a guy that was going to be the guy or had people had ideas that maybe he could be the guy when he first started. Then he transitioned into that role and became like a great, great backup.
I don't know. Like off the top of my head, Nick Foles is like he's the gold standard.
He's the gold standard, right? As a backup. Right.
But besides that, it's like Colt McCoy is, and I'm not counting Chase Daniel,

who's done a great job of being a backup.

Making money and doing nothing.

Yes.

And just having a name that's always around.

But Colt McCoy, as far as backups that actually get into games and have to play,

he's probably the best backup in the non-Nick Foles division of the modern era. Yes.
I'd agree. Colt McCoy, way to go.
And the Cardinals deserve a ton of credit. This is now, so they're 2-1 with their backup with Colt McCoy, 2-1 without DeAndre Hopkins.
Whenever you have a big-time injury to your franchise quarterback, or not even a big-time injury, an injury that you know that you have to just tread water. They have tread water.
They've stayed in it. They've won games on the road.
Or no, did they beat the 49ers? Yeah, they won both their games on the road in the division with their backup quarterback. Cliff Kingsbury, I've given him shit.
He's a good coach. And their defense is playing very well.
And once they get fully healthy, they will be a true contender. And they're also 6-0 on the road.
Did you know that? I did not know that. That's crazy.
And I think they've won, don't quote me, I think they've won all of their road games by double digits, which is crazy. Right now they're missing maybe their three best players.
Yep. Kyler Murray, Hopkins, J.J.
Watt. Yep.
J.J. Watt tweeted out today.
Ready for this? At 8.05 p.m. Is he back? This is his tweet.
You ready? Maybe. Dot, dot, dot.
Whoa. Whoa.
I think J.J.'s coming back. You heard it here first.
Wow. J.J.'s back.
J.J. Watt is going to come back this season and play for the Cardinals.
That's what he wants us to think. Actually, we fell right into his trap.
He wants us to be having this conversation. He wants us to talk about this right now.
Yep. Yes.
You win, JJ. Yes.
All right. Last.
Oh, no. Two more games.
Bengals-Raiders. Your boy, Joe Mixon.
Excuse me? Joe Mixon, your boy. On the field.
your boy on the field was awesome the Bengals Matt Nagy should watch what happened here the Bengals off the bye this is how you come off a bye they fixed last time we saw them they got exposed by Browns. The Browns scored a million points on them.
They came out here. They dominated the Raiders from a defensive perspective.
They did just enough. Like, the Raiders defense actually held the Raiders in the game.
Their offense was terrible. But the Bengals coming off a bye, big win.
Raiders are sinking. Yeah, that's my big takeaway.
The Raiders are kind of done, and this is what you want to see from the Bengals off of a bye. So this is the first time the Bengals have won off their bye week since 2015.
Whoa. So that's, yeah, kind of like that Bears stat.
So there is hope. It's been a while for them, but they looked awesome today.
And Derek Carr, he went one step further from Josh Allen. Josh Allen said, the problems start with me.
Derek Carr said, yeah, guess what? I'm going to show you how it's done. The problems start and end with me.
Whoa. So Derek Carr is taking a lot of responsibility for this, which he probably should.
Again, he threw another bad interception today, which is crazy because like Derek Carr, he's incepted me now because I always thought that Derek Carr was a big interceptions guy.

Then everybody was like, Derek Carr doesn't throw interceptions. Yeah, right, because he just throws the ball up.
He throws it up, and now he's become an interception guy right after I finally had it drilled into my head that he doesn't throw interceptions. Interesting.
So every time that he does, I feel like I've been gaslit into thinking that he's not an interceptions guy. But he did say the problem start and end with me, Derek Carr.
Wow. Derek, life starts and ends with you crapping yourself also, but you can do some cool shit to make up for it in between.
I appreciate that, Derek. Yeah.
It starts and ends with him. He also had a bad fumble.
He did have a bad fumble. I think a little underreported storyline out of Cincinnati this year, their kicker is really good.
Their kicker, I think, has six field goals over 50 yards. Evan McPherson.

You don't get a lot of Evan

kickers. You don't get a lot of Evans.
No, you don't.

And there's also a guy in Cincinnati

that's predicted the outcome every single week of

every Bengals game with a coin flip.

So we've got to keep tabs on that guy's

coin flip. What's his name?

I don't know. His Reddit account.

There's a guy on Reddit that has done it. And he's being honest? It's blown up.
He posted before the games. He posted it.
Okay. So, and he got this one right.
Now we're officially in who day season right now. Yeah.
I also think that this hits the over for Bengals win total on the season. So, there you go, Bengals.
Good job, Bengals. Good job, Bengals.
I don't want to gas them up too much because we kind of jinxed them. Yeah, we did that whole thing.
So let's just say good job, Bengals. We expect you to continue doing a good job, and let's leave it at that because you're right.
We did the whole like the Bengals are leading the AFC North, and the Bengals have the one seed. Yeah, that was too much too fast.
Yeah. Yeah.
All right, so good job, Bengals. All right, last game, Chiefs-C Cowboys.
Everyone thought it was going to be points. Do me a favor, Jake.
Just remind me that anytime we watch a game and the announcer says there's going to be fireworks to bet the under. That's why I took the over right before it started.
Yeah. Before the game, Troy Aikman said it.
I think it hits it 100%. Yeah.
Aikman was like, we're going to see some real fireworks today. And then, well, excuse me, not Troy Aikman.
Aikball, as Joe Buck calls him, which I didn't know that was Troy Aikman's nickname. Good old Aikball.
I didn't read that part in Skip Bayless' book. But yeah, Troy Aikball was like, let's fucking go.
We're going to put up some fucking points out there and it was very disappointing. Besides, there was one very cool moment in the game.
I forget who it was on the Chiefs did the AK-47 automatic weapon. I think he was shooting a shotgun.
That was cool. It was a cool enough celebration where even though he was pretending to shoot his opponents, the referee should have been like, in his defense, that looks sick as hell.
In a weird way, it was not a terrible loss for the cowboys it was a statement win for the chiefs the chiefs defense all of a sudden i mean should we should we ask that question is the chiefs defense good because they went from horrifically bad to oh they're playing just good enough to keep them in games to now they've gone four straight games where they've held their opponent to 17 points or less yeah so i don't know if it's just chris jones and frank clark are trying now their pass rush where they change something up scheme wise but they're playing very well and then on the other side i actually think that like if you're a cowboys fan you come away from this game saying it's actually not that bad because you're missing Tyron Smith, you're missing Amari, and CeeDee Lamb gets concussed. So your offense is kind of very injured right now, going to get better.
Your defense, the start of that game, it felt like the Chiefs were going to just roll them, like run down the field every single time. They were doing fucking trick plays, all that shit.
The defense, Michael Parsons was incredible. The defense actually kept them in the game and that's a part of the Dallas Cowboys equation that you're most worried about.
So I think if you're a Dallas fan, you walk away being like, you know what? That's okay. That was a game that if the Cowboys win, you're thinking soupy.
I'm saying even in a loss. In this one, it's like, you know what? We took a shot.
We weren't supposed to win this game anyways. At the start of the season, every Cowboys fan had this labeled as a loss when they looked at their calendar.
So you're not losing any ground on it. I have a serious question that we need to ask about the Kansas City Chiefs, though.
Yeah? Is Jackson Mahomes dead? Because he hasn't been at any games. He reposted.
China has them. Yeah, like the tennis star.
Yeah. He reposted a TikTok today.
Sundays for Jackson Mahomes, that's his game day too. Yes.
That's when he gets engagement galore on his latest TikTok. He reposted.
He reused an old TikTok today. He hasn't been at their games for the last several weeks and by the way the chiefs side note have won those games but jackson mahomes is nowhere to be found i'm just asking the question can we get eyes on jackson mahomes and is do you keep him away though uh you think yeah yeah yeah i mean the chiefs the chiefs now i are back into – it went from the Chiefs are broken,

their defense is terrible, and Patrick Mahomes is something's wrong,

to, oh, man, the Chiefs are starting to round into form here.

Obviously, they beat the Packers with Jordan Love as their quarterback,

but I feel like the Chiefs – I'd have to look at their schedule,

but it feels like they're going to – they'll probably win the West. You know what I mean? If they beat the Chargers, they'll probably win the West because the Chargers have slipped up a couple times.
I don't know. Now the Chiefs are quickly back into their thinking soupy.
They've got a tough schedule, though. Who they got? Well, because they have to go to the Chargers.
They have to play the Steelers. They go to the Bengals, and then they go to Mile High for the last game of the season.
Okay. So that's not easy.
No, it's not easy. But I think they have found something on defense, and they've also found something on offense where they will – you're now not thinking like, oh, no, the Chiefs are in major, major trouble.
Because they're 7-4 right now. What do they have to win to get into the playoffs? There was a moment where we thought they weren't going to make the playoffs.
You get probably 10 wins and I think you're in. So they'll get into the playoffs.
They've figured it out. They're kind of back rolling.
Yeah, they're the fourth seed right now. Alright, anything else before we get to the rest of the show? Tyreek Hill does that thing where he jumps backwards five yards all the time, and he always ends up making up those five yards more.
Any other player in the NFL that does that is when you yell at your TV, like, this guy's a fucking idiot. Go that way.
Yes. Get the first down.
Tyreek Hill makes it work every time. He jumps back five yards, and he gets seven.
Yeah. That's just his style.
By the way, I don't even know. We'll just at the beginning of the show, when you get to this point in the show, you're going to be like, oh, that's what they were talking about.
At the beginning of the show, we'll just tell people what happened, like, the results of this game and to just keep listening because it's live updates. Hank, are we, how are we doing? We're good.
Are you mad? We covered. Yep.
Steelers covered. We did.

The bet we all made together covered.

Congrats, guys.

Good team win.

Although I wish that it hadn't.

I would love to have not won that bet.

Yeah.

But are you mad at me?

Nope.

I mean, that sounds like you're mad at me.

What's there to be mad about?

I don't know. Besides that, how was the rest of your day, Hank?

It was great. Yeah? Yeah.
yeah that's cool patriots are back yeah they're back on thursday celtics beat the lakers and lebron's facing on friday was that cool it was awesome um what else i edited pft's audiobook all weekend so that was fun thanks hank okay did a great job saw you on saturday night that was fun yeah i came here lebron james got probably suspended for a while today yeah he's probably going to jail if if adam silver has a backbone right yeah wouldn't you say what's that billy what billy's going to disappear. Isaiah, the guy.
What's his last name? Stevens. Stewart.
Stewart. I knew you didn't know it.
I didn't know it. So I'm not saying that, like.
Household name, Isaiah Stewart. I think that they were probably going to fight in the tunnels underneath the stadium.
That's why LeBron James went around. If you noticed, after he got kicked out officially, he went around shaking everybody's hand on his team, saying goodbye to everyone.
He even went up to some of the security guards that he hid behind during the scuffle, and he was shaking their hands, learning their names, just taking his time, making sure that they had Stewart. Isaiah.
Isaiah Stewart restrained in the tunnels, making sure there was no backyard. Well, the funniest part was he would pretend like he was fine, calm down, and then just as everyone stopped holding him back, he'd just run away again.
Classic move. LeBron.
Don't fake out. I'm tired.
I'm not actually. Jail.
All right, let's get to football guy of the week. Worst head shot from an LBJ on this day in history.
Boom. This guy or JFK? Wait, is that day coming up soon? It's today.
Oh, fuck yes. Monday.
Revelle. It's in 20 minutes.
Let's go, dude. Let's see some fucking carnage.
Revelle is about to. 7.30 in the morning.
I want to see brains all over Jackie O's dress. You know he's giving it to us.
You better. You know he's giving it to us.
All right. Hey, it's John Gruden.
If you know me, you know I love nerding out on stats, baby. And when it comes to impressive stats, I think Chevy Silverado is the undisputed champ.
We're talking best in class 430 pound feet of standard torque thanks to a Turbo Max engine, the most functional bed of any competitor including an available multi-flex tailgate and capability ready to take on any challenge think of it this way if silverado were a rookie quarterback hitting the combine it would be game over i mean capability versatility and strength that's mvp status so head to chevy.com and score huge with silverado today. Okay, Billy, football guy of the week.
Congratulations to Week 10's winner, Timmy Malinowski. Yeah, Timmy! Yeah, Timmy! The diesel mechanic.
Yeah, huge win. Love that guy.
So our first nominee for this week is Will Campbell. Whoa.
Sorry. You okay? Too many selling salts.
Offensive lineman out of Neville High School, an LSU commit. He was injured, and once he saw that his team was losing against doctor's orders, he suited up to start playing the second quarter.
He had a groin injury. He was told not to play.
But once he saw that his team might get eliminated, he was like, screw this. I'm going back in.
I'm suiting up. And how did he win? They ended up winning.
Lesson there, don't listen to your doctor. Exactly.
Second nominee is Jamal Williams running back for the Detroit Lions. He showed up to his prep conference in full uniform declaring that he's back from injury and he's so excited to get back out on the field.
He showed up to the press conference in his uniform helmet and fully suited up ready to go. We call that the Jameis or the Ricky Williams.
The Ricky Williams. Third nominee is Paul Peterson, the head coach of Dixie State.
He made a promise to his players that if any of them got a pick six, he'd take his shirt off and run on the field to celebrate with them. He did exactly that after one of his players got a pick six.
Even though they were losing pretty badly, it was in the rain. It was quite a funny visual.
How badly was the losing going on? The pick six occurred against Missouri State.. Okay.
It was 48-17, and they got a pick six to put them up 48-23. I think he just wanted to get thrown out of the game.
Yeah, probably at that point. But it was like soaking rain.
It was quite a funny visual. Was he wetter than Mike Vrabel? Well, he had his shirt off.
He was dry underneath. Then he took his shirt off.
Then he took his shirt off And he got pretty wet Fourth nominee is Scott Hansen So We've always wanted this question Scott confirmed some rumors He said the rumors are true I don't go to the bathroom during the 7 hours Of the NFL Red Zone I dehydrate on Sunday AM Use the men right before the show. During the five minute countdown.
And then it's the willpower of a ninja for seven hours. So football guy moved to power through the seven hours of football.
And not use the bathroom. I think he may use the bathroom.
But he doesn't go to the bathroom. He might be a piss dog.
He piss dogs. Scott Hanson also confirmed that on this show.
well that's okay no that's all good and by the way we don't call it the red zone anymore it's the red area the red area that's okay Billy you didn't know I knew that yeah it was just going viral today so anyway did they credit us uh well I'm claiming the credit here no he tweeted it out Scott did? Yes. Did he credit us for also, I'm claiming the credit here.
Got it. He tweeted it out.

Scott did?

Yes.

Did he credit us for also asking him that question earlier?

Well, we're just going to claim it.

Yeah, that's us.

Reclaiming it.

We're just reclaiming it right now.

I love it.

And our throwback football guy of the week is actually just from a month ago.

I'm going to send the MP3.

Kirby Smart had an insane halftime speech against Florida, which has been going to go back from a month ago. Well, I couldn't get it.
I mean, it technically is a throwback. It just leaked.
The speech was a halftime speech. It just leaked this week.
So I'm counting as a throwback. And hopefully we can splice the MP3 in of the speech.
But it caused a lot of people to be like. You didn't ask Hank to do that? Well, I have the MP3.

Oh, you have it.

Okay, all right.

So hopefully we can play it.

What did he say?

He said some controversial stuff.

What did he say?

Well, we can play it.

Yeah, just play it.

Okay.

I still remember, I still remember like yesterday,

I still remember like yesterday walking out of this bitch's a half.

The look, the look, the look and the feeling I had.

Looking at Titans.

Looking at Stokes. Looking at those guys.
You know what, guys? This is our fucking year. This is our fucking year.
We do it by how we play. It's zero to fucking zero, and you make them never want to play again.
All that shit they're talking, I love it, Jamar. You didn't say shit.
You don't say shit to them. You just laugh and point at the scoreboard.
Let me get a picture, J.D., pointing at the fucking scoreboard. Don't say shit to their own disciplined ass.
Because we are. We are disciplined.
And I have to go take the fucking shit out of them. Physically, physically, I want to break them.
I'm talking about fucking writing these pictures on defense and offense. Let's go, defense.
I wasn't even listening. Sorry.
It's a hype speech. It's a hype speech.
He's cussing. Kirby's cussing.
And we talked about it a month ago? No. Oh, okay.
That's why it's a throwback. Yeah.
Got it. Got it.
That's good. I mean, it's not good.
It wasn't good. It was a great speech.
If you listen to the speech, it's freaking great. We'll put it in.
Okay. And Scott Hansen, as first reported by us, but then reported by Billy, doesn't piss during red zone.
Yeah. Red area.
All right. Good job, Billy.
Everyone vote. Did you post the blog? Yeah.
The blog is up. All right.

Who's back of the week? Hank.

Hank and I have a beef, but he's good with me. I apologize to you.
I was back at Tiger Woods. Oh, wow.
He's swimming in a golf club. People went crazy.
People think this is a fucking easy game. This game of ours.
This life of ours. It's not.
Mushing clinic. Again, you made a side bet against our friend.
If I looked in your account, you made side bets too. No, I bet the Steelers.
I said I bet the Steelers. I think it's also a big part of it is that you were celebrating audibly.
I had Najee Harris. You didn't tell us about that? I said it out loud.
I said if Najee Harris scored a touchdown, the Steelers, it was all steelers it was all correlated steelers there was nothing chargers so betting the steelers so it's like you're apologizing but you're also not taking any blame it's confusing i'm just confused which which one is it tell me i'll take 10 blame for the mush but i think the mush like the the idea that mushed it, it was already a mean friendship thing to do, so it's like, it doesn't fall under the regular rules of gambling etiquette when you already broke the gambling etiquette. You made it a war.
You made it a, you made, there was no, what's the rules of engagement? There's usually an understanding that going into these games, Hank always sends out a parlay plus for the boys. For the boys.
And I didn't see a parlay plus for the boys come across the boys chat. And it was, if it had not been discussed that we were all betting the Steelers, which I remember vividly, PFT said, what are we betting? I said, I think we should take the Steelers.
If that had not been discussed, then I wouldn't have given a fuck. But we said we're all taking the Steelers, and then you had a bet that was the Chargers.
You were kind of starting to high-step on us. A little bit.
You're high-stepping a little bit. So then don't say sorry.
You're clearly not sorry. No, I said I'm 10% sorry.
Okay. Do you accept my 10%? 10% I accept it.
Okay. I think that's fair.
Okay. All right, good.
Then we're good. I think that's fair.
The amount that I'm sorry you've accepted. Mm-hmm.
So we're good. Yep.
So in a way he accepted 100% of your 10%. Yes.
Correct. Because that was all I had.
Bygones be bygones. Yeah.
Bygones be bygones. Yeah.
Who's back? Tiger Woods. Swing a golf club.
Everyone went crazy. What kind of golf club was it? I don't know, but I will be swinging a golf club on Wednesday, and I expect that same reaction.
Hell yes. Sweet.
Are golf courses still open? Yeah. Oh.
Do they close? Yeah, they close, right? Just weather can tell. I think it's after Thanksgiving, because it's like a tournament with friends from home and shit.
It's not really a serious event a serious event it took tiger what like nine months to be able to golf again it's going to take you like three weeks who's tougher you got this exactly you got this back from major back surgery from his chiropractor love it major back readjustment yeah all right Who's back of the week? PFT.

I got a couple.

Is that okay?

Hank's going to be editing.

Yeah, you guys are keeping it tight like you said.

Okay.

My first who's back of the week is keeping your beers cold outside.

I love this time of the year.

Say this every week.

I don't think I've said this this year.

What?

I haven't said it this year.

Go check the tape.

All right.

Here's what I'm going to say. Hank's lashing out.
No, here's what I'm going to say though. Hank is so mad.
I only gave Hank 10% of an apology. I accept 100% of Hank's bad mood.
I think that's totally fair. I think you being mad right now is completely warranted, and I think it's completely appropriate.
So I accept your lashing out, and I welcome it. I welcome your lash out.
And no one can judge Hank's lash out because that was a bad loss. And a bad who's back.
Oh, wow. Do you accept what I just said as being an olive branch to our friendship coming back? Sure.
You don't think so? All right, fine, forget it. Because now Hank has redirected his anger at me.
He's fine with you now. Well, we did figure out the 10% deal, which is good.
He's just passing it. it.
Keeping your beers cold outside because it's God's refrigerator and it's wintertime and the mountains turn blue outside now. Do shorts next.
You can just put them outside in the snow. Do shorts.
You don't have to worry about putting them in the fridge. Just leave your beer outside.
They get cold. Love it.
That's a good one. Great Who's Back of the Week, right? Everyone? My other Who's Back of the Week is shorts.
My other Who's Back of the Week is making JFK jokes. My other Who's Back of the week, right? Everyone? My other who's back of the week is shorts.
Miley Cyrus. My other who's back of the week is making JFK jokes.
My other who's back of the week is making Hitler jokes. My next who's back of the week is making fun of Hank's ass.
Oh. My other who's back of the week is, oh, Ed Sheeran had a thing where he said that, yeah, he doesn't pee at urinals because people take little peeks as little tiny wee-wee, but we all know it's because he can't pee at a urinal have I told that story before yeah yeah it's okay I love it every time my other who's back of the week is reading yeah readings back as Hank alluded to he's been editing together the Goodell vs.
Obama book that I wrote in 2014 we've turned it into an an audiobook. Maybe.
And if Hank doesn't delete the entire file, it'll be coming out on Cyber Monday. No, it's Black Friday, right? Yeah.
No, actually, though, there's... Which year? 2023? There's a very small number of actual physical copies that we're selling, and I think once those sell out, we'll put out the audiobook.
Got it. Put out the audiobook.
But if you want a hard copy, make sure you're on top of your shit Black Friday because those will go fast. Audiobook's going to be great.
It features a lot of people at Barstool doing the different voices. It's got Big Cat on there.
It's got Hank on there. It's got Billy.
It's got Jake. It's got Frank the Tank.
It got brandon walker nick torani roan a lot of people fights a lot of people contribute voices to it and it's gonna be very funny i heard the rough cut and it's awesome so be on the lookout for that it's coming out as soon as the actual books sell out which will be on sale i believe on black friday so and we just discovered new york times has a bestseller list for audiobooks. I just kind of want

to call myself a New York Times bestselling

author. There we go.
Audiobook version.

Audiobook it. Love it.

Alright, my Who's Back is

Feast Week, best gambling

week of the year. Hank, you want to do some gambling

this week as a team?

Sure. Okay.
College

basketball every day, football every

night. I love it.
I love it. That's how I'll make money.
College basketball every day. Football every night.
I love it.

I love it.

I love it.

That's how I'll make money.

College basketball.

Start taking your picks.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Did the Steelers cover?

They did.

That they did.

But your parlay plus, that would have...

Oh, no, because you had the Chargers.

You're right.

Yeah.

I was wrong.

You were right.

Listen, I'm not looking for a congratulations. I'm a terrible, terrible gambler.
I lose all the time. Everyone knows that.
It's kind of my brand. If anyone thought that not sharing gambling picks and mushing people was going to be the end of part of my take, you were going to be right.
You haven't been paying attention. You haven't been paying attention.
Hank is as mad as I've seen him in a while right now. It's okay.
We're getting out right now. He's like a little hornet.
This is like when you have a fight. You go to a dinner with a bunch of different couples.
And you wrongly think that if you just air the fight out in a joking way in front of everyone, you won't have the fight back at home. Oh, you still have the fight back at home.
And it makes it weirder for everybody around you. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you the listener right now, you're the other couples. And once the microphones are off, we'll have the real fight and it's going to get ugly.
The little Thanksgiving Billy right now for that noisy man. Now he's redirected.
I'm laughing at him because he's being like Colin Coward. No, but that's true.
When you grow up, you'll find what I just said is very true. Hank looked like he wanted to kill.
Why are you angry at me? I don't know. Weird noise.
No, I'm fine. I'm not mad at all.
Let's wrap this show up before it all falls apart. Who's back in the week? Jimmy Hoffa.
They think they found his resting place. Another time.
It wasn't a 40-yard bump. It's actually on a Little League field in Jersey City.
So there was a deathbed confession. A guy told his son that he actually buried Jimmy Hoffa in a plot of land next to his dump.
he didn't want to bury it he was told to bury it on his landfill dump place but he didn't want to put it on his property so he actually moved it to public land that was actually in a couple scenes of the Sopranos and the Irishman so what does it even matter if we find him? oh he's dead? it's way cooler if we don't find him I know but like just tie up loose ends what loose ends that he's dead or like maybe there's clues about stuff that he died jfk that's true forgot about that point good point good point billy jfk didn't think about that point oh and uh rob gronkowski's stealing more valor he said that uh when he broke his ribs he's never been shot before, but when he broke his ribs he thought it was how it feels to get shot. Shouldn't he be mad at his dad in all these USAA commercials? Because you can have USAA if your dad was in the military.
He needs to be redirecting that frustration towards Gordy. That's a good point.
Jake, your Who serve Gordy? Jake, you're Who's Back of the Week.

Who's Back of the Week is Dickie V.

Yes.

He's been battling cancer, and he got the all-systems go

to call his first game of the year,

number one Gonzaga, number two UCLA, Tuesday night.

So what a fitting return.

Happy to see him back.

How mad is your co-host, Rico?

He hasn't said anything.

Okay.

Tune into the Benchmob.

Yes.

They got all the college basketball. They went to Indiana last week.
Yes, vlog is live. There we go.
Check out the vlog. I got a little clickbait on the people.
You did? I tweeted some personal news, and it was a tiny URL. It was a link to our vlog.
It worked. You're learning.
Do you feel like you deceived everyone? I mean, yes, but we're trying to grow the YouTube page, so we got 10K clicks in like an hour.

By any means necessary.

Now, when that chant happened in Indiana, what did you do?

You left?

No, I did not leave.

Okay, but you should have.

I don't know about leave.

I obviously didn't participate. Did you see that?

I didn't see it.

They chanted to one of the players' sloppy seconds

talking about his girlfriend and Jake.

I know him personally.

I was never going to do that. Jake was complicit because he stayed.
You stayed. Did you disavow? Yeah.
Yes, I disavowed. Okay, you disavowed.
In real time. Disavowed.
Yeah, of course. You disavowed when it happened.
I would never disrespect him like that. When it happened, you said, stop this.
You tried to stop them from doing the chant. You should have been like, everyone.
I should have ran out of the court, grabbed the PA, and yes. Now I feel good.
Is Dickie V going to do the Duke game? I don't know. So Duke plays Gonzaga Friday.
Oh, the Duke game. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah. They should let Dickie V do that.
Coach K is probably like, no, this will upstage my retirement. It's Dan Schulman and Jay Billis for Duke Gonzaga.
Coach K is Michael Scott when Kevin gets cancer? Yeah, exactly. That's exactly what's happening right now.
All right. He's going to be skating backwards on rollerblades onto the court.
Random numbers. 8.
97. I need to consult a Polynesian archaeologist.
87. What? If you're a Polynesian archaeologist, please contact me.
77. 69.
No, it was 77.

Good guess, though.

Billy was the closest.

Dolphins get high on pufferfish venom.

That's sick.

Okay.

Love you guys. talking away Thank you.
I'll be coming for your love of cake. Shut me in the way.
I'll be coming for your love of cake. Take on me.
Take me on. I'll be gone.
Lift your teeth. Needless to say.
I'm all the sentence, but I need to turn it away. Tell them life is okay.
Say after me. It's no better to be safe than sorry.
Say after me. It's no better to be safe than sorry.
Take me I take on me, take me on I'll be gone in a day I'll change All the things that you say, yeah, is it a lot of Just to play my worries away You're all the things I've got to remember You're shying away I'll be coming for you anyway You're shying away I'll be coming for you anyway I'll be coming for you anyway Take on me
