Speaker 1 back by popular demand, it is our good friend, Super Bowl MVP, Julian Edelman. Future Hall of Famer.
Future Hall of Famer. We're going to break down.
He's in studio.

Speaker 1 We're going to break down Thursday night football. He watched it with us.
We also have our week 11 preview, Fire Fest of the Week, Fantasy Jakes.

Speaker 1 Great Friday show getting everyone ready to go for the weekend. Great football weekend coming up.
And...

Speaker 3 cool, creamy ranch meets tangy, bold buffalo, the whole is greater than the sum of its sauce. Say howdy, partner, to new Buffalo Ranch sauce only at McDonald's for a limited time.

Speaker 4 At participating, McDonald's.

Speaker 1 Okay, let's go.

Speaker 1 work to be done.

Speaker 1 No place to hang out or washing.

Speaker 1 And then I can't blame all on the songs. Oh, no, we're gonna rock it down to E-Lay Trick I revenue.

Speaker 1 And then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 1 Oh, we're gonna rock it down to E-Lay.

Speaker 1 It's part of my take. Presented by Marshall Sports.

Speaker 1 Welcome to Part of My Take presented by Tostitos. Go to tostitos.com/slash Romo right now.
Enter for a chance to win Romo in your ear. Today is Friday, November 19th,

Speaker 1 and we just watched the, I would say, the largest two-score blowout I've ever seen in my life. Technically a two-score blowout, but I feel like 16 to nothing.

Speaker 1 There are two score blowouts, and then there are two score blowouts. 16 to 20.

Speaker 1 It might as well be 40 to nothing right now. Yes.
And Matt Ryan has the saddest face in in the world. Matt Ryan is

Speaker 1 poor Matt Ryan. I'm going to say that because it's not his fault that

Speaker 1 his line couldn't block. They couldn't run the ball.
They couldn't pass the ball. The Patriots.

Speaker 1 All right, let's start with this, Jules. So Jules is here.
We're going to do this. This was actually much acclaimed.
I told him this, and I think

Speaker 1 the squirrel and Julian Edelman, the undrafted guy who's always grinding, was like, people really like that? And I was like, yes, people loved it.

Speaker 1 He was actually drafted, though. He's drafted.

Speaker 1 You're undrafted. You're walking.
You're undrafted. Seventh round.
Seventh round. That's undrafted.
We both know that.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 everyone loved it when we did it a month ago. We watched Thursday Night Football with Jules.
We had him on to start the show. We're doing that again.
So let's start there, Jules.

Speaker 1 Matt Ryan, how sad do you feel for him?

Speaker 4 I mean, it's tough.

Speaker 4 I mean, he definitely looks like someone stole his puppy on the sidelines.

Speaker 1 He doesn't have a dog anymore. He's dogless.
He's dog. We were talking during the game.

Speaker 1 If you were to have, like, we got the Romo in your ear, if there was Jules in your ear, it would just be a play, and then Julian would be like, that guy's a dog. That guy's got dogs.

Speaker 4 Yeah, you got to have some dog in you.

Speaker 4 This game's kind of evolving, and

Speaker 4 that old school mentality, those guys had a lot more dog, you know, and you still have it out there, but

Speaker 4 when there's a feisty player, like a big play, a nice hit, a great block, a fullback play, a block engagement. That's a guy that has some dog in him.

Speaker 1 Jules said, we asked him when we were sitting down what he thought about Mac Jones.

Speaker 1 He said he loves him, but he also would like to see him maybe sprain his ankle or something, face some adversity, see how he does with that. I hope he doesn't do that.

Speaker 1 We hope he doesn't sprain his ankle, but you're like...

Speaker 1 In true Julian Edelman fashion, like, I want to see him banged up a little so that, see what he can overcome.

Speaker 4 You want to see the toughness of a guy. We're seeing how, you know,

Speaker 4 he can take in the offense and he can be an efficient quarterback.

Speaker 4 But there's going to be times where, you know, it's not always sunny and they're going on a four-game winning streak looking to be five here.

Speaker 4 You need to see, I want to see him that last bit to see if he's your guy, which he's their guy, but I want to see something go wrong and I want to see the man he is in an adverse situation.

Speaker 4 Like, that's when you see your best leaders. That's when, you know, the Tom Brady's, I mean, I only know him, but like Jimmy Garoppolo.
Jimmy,

Speaker 4 Tom Brady's, you know,

Speaker 4 when he goes out in any situation, when we were down a certain amount of points, like you got, you saw like a laser focus in his eye, and I want to see it. I mean, everything looks great right now.

Speaker 4 He's looking like a really good quarterback. He's taking in the offense.
He plays on time.

Speaker 1 Oh, you like that. Isn't that a football guy thing to say? He does.
Everything's on time.

Speaker 4 He does play on time.

Speaker 1 Now, I said that on Monday's show. I actually don't even know really what it means, so explain to me what playing on time is.

Speaker 4 Playing on time is like getting through your reads at the correct time.

Speaker 4 Seeing if you have a hitch out there, it's cover two, you see the trap corner, your eyes click automatically from here to your cover two side, you step up in the pocket and you deliver a catchable football.

Speaker 4 Like those little

Speaker 4 things that guys do in the pocket and when they're clicking from in through their progression, that's when you start to see if a guy plays on time.

Speaker 4 You know, when a guy doesn't have his feet set, and he drops back, and he looks over there, and then he looks late over there, and he throws a ball at the guy's feet.

Speaker 4 That's because he's not playing on time. He spent too much time on the front side when he should have probably went to the back side.

Speaker 4 That's what playing on time means. His eyes are always in the right area.
He's delivering the ball when he should deliver the ball in the cover two window or

Speaker 4 when they're high-lowing a mic and he's hitting it right after the mic linebacker on the rat. Like those are, those are playing on time kind of moments.

Speaker 1 And Mac Jones, confirmed, plays on time.

Speaker 4 He's playing on time right now.

Speaker 1 I've noticed that his drop back speed is a leap. He's not a fast guy, but when he gets the ball in his hands, he takes that like three-step drop.

Speaker 1 He actually looks fast when his legs are crossing over each other. Yeah.

Speaker 4 I actually heard through the grapevine that I think he's a 20-mile an hour guy.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 4 I heard. I heard he's hit 20 once.

Speaker 1 I feel like a legit 20 miles an hour?

Speaker 1 Yeah, so everything's. In a car?

Speaker 4 No, everything's GPS.

Speaker 1 well not like when they do 20s and stuff they do conditioning like they're always monitoring everything i heard he's a 20 guy i believe that he's i believe he's 20 when he when he does a three-step drop or a five-step drop he's like deceptively fast getting back there what that'd be like a 12 12 he's a he's a 12 and so a mile an hour going backwards would be pretty good but sometimes it's more important to go from 20 to zero than it is from zero to 20

Speaker 1 exactly the 510 five yeah yep 5105 guy what did you think by the way there was much discussion between Billy and Hank on Mac Jones maybe giving a little bit of a wrestling move against the Panthers after an interception.

Speaker 4 I mean, I thought that was within the game. He didn't know who had the ball.
I mean, he was holding on for dear life.

Speaker 1 If you're a linebacker,

Speaker 4 who was it?

Speaker 1 I can't remember.

Speaker 1 Hank is nodding furiously right now.

Speaker 4 I mean, if you're a linebacker and you're getting tossed up like that by a guy holding on for dear life, hey, you shouldn't.

Speaker 1 There's an old saying only bad only bad players get held like the good guys is that true oh i like that saying bad players get held because if you're a dog you get that hold right off you go well i've actually noticed and i'm not saying i don't know who the guy is who but i'm just saying like pull your leg up let's go he didn't know with matthew judon when he's out there and he's got the red sleeves on i think it's it's easier for a ref to see if he's getting held very true i mean yeah tell us so you told us a story that yeah all the details with Belichick.

Speaker 4 Belichick would, he would always try to get me to change the color of my glove for blocking in the run game because if we were playing a team that had white and the referee, he said, you know, the ref could see your goddamn glove on the back side of him.

Speaker 4 He's going to call holding every time.

Speaker 4 So he would literally make young players like, hey, you're wearing white today because we're playing against a white team.

Speaker 1 You wouldn't change? No, I can't change.

Speaker 4 My mom knew me by the red gloves.

Speaker 1 Oh, wow. That's how I started.
So he, so do you think he called more like blocking situations for you against the Chiefs?

Speaker 1 No. Because he's like, all right, we can actually use jewels in the blocking game here? No.

Speaker 4 But, I mean, it's crazy because,

Speaker 4 I mean, he would always, he'd show an example, and it would usually be right of a guy that didn't look like a real big hole, a ticky-tacky call, maybe, and the guy had like a colorful glove on a white pop.

Speaker 1 He popped. Yeah.
God damn it. Those are like some of the, those are the details that are just hilarious and also why Belichick is Belichick.

Speaker 1 To be like, yeah, the gloves are actually going to probably cost us.

Speaker 1 What about wearing white shoes if you're a receiver and you make a catch near the sidelines and you can't tell if you're out of bounds or not because your shoes are white.

Speaker 4 I just wore white cleats because it made me look fast.

Speaker 1 It does. It does.

Speaker 1 It's more that black shoes make you look really slow. Yes.

Speaker 4 Johnny Knight.

Speaker 4 That's when you always know a guy's a burner. If you see a guy wearing black cleats and he still looks fast.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's that's like that's when that's when that's when those guys are like, they know they're fast.

Speaker 4 They wear black cleats.

Speaker 1 That's like a flex. My other big takeaway from this game, besides Matt Ryan, just looking like an old dog, like a dog that's getting

Speaker 1 gray all over his face. Oh, Josh Rose.
Oh, Josh Rosen. Here comes a pick.
Nope. Just threw it 60 yards out of bounds.

Speaker 1 Don't say that. I mean, it's going to happen.
It's definitely going to happen. But my other big takeaway was Arthur Smith needs to grow.

Speaker 4 12 talents and 20 INTA

Speaker 1 career. Not great.
But Arthur Smith, the exposed cheeks, and I figured out tonight, I don't think it's necessarily his chin that looks bad.

Speaker 1 It's his neck sometimes when he doesn't have the beard going on it. Yeah,

Speaker 4 he definitely looks like the son and king of the hill.

Speaker 1 Bobby Hill. He's

Speaker 1 a head coach. He's a little Bobby Hill, but hey, you know, coaches, they do that.

Speaker 4 It's so... Look at that.

Speaker 1 It is picking. There's a pick.
Pick six. Josh Rosen, I called it.

Speaker 1 I called it pick six. Calv Van Norris.

Speaker 1 That shouldn't count as a pick. That should count as a half an interception, like a half a sack, if it's against Josh Rosen.
I just tweeted Josh Rosen comeback season right before he threw that pen.

Speaker 1 I told you. An old Texas AM game.
Huh, big cat. Is he still there? Whoops.
I'm basically Tony Romo right now.

Speaker 1 Another big takeaway, Steve Belichick's massive pink eye just disappeared over the course of the last like 24 hours. He had pink eye? Yeah, oh, it was bad.

Speaker 1 He had like a giant herp on his eyelid when he was doing his latest Zoom call. Billy saw it, right? It was a sty.
It was a sty.

Speaker 4 I've actually had a sty.

Speaker 1 That's a sound

Speaker 1 judge.

Speaker 4 Yeah, well, the only reason I got it because Amendola got it a couple times. He used to get these sties, and I would make fun of him so bad.

Speaker 1 Then he ate his ass. I don't know.

Speaker 4 I thought he, like, maybe someone fart in his face or something. I don't know how you get him.
But then, like, one day I came to work, and I had a sty, and he just wouldn't let me.

Speaker 1 Yeah. He asked for it.

Speaker 1 The other story you told us,

Speaker 1 when we were watching, there was a play close to the goal line, and you said that Belichick used to always teach you guys, never reach out for the goal line.

Speaker 4 Yeah, you can't. I mean, unless it was a fourth-down play or a two-point conversion that you absolutely needed.

Speaker 4 Because

Speaker 4 it's a risky play.

Speaker 4 I mean, you see time and time again throughout the years, guys that go to try to do it and they slip the ball out, you get a touchback, or a guy comes in, hits it, the ball's more vulnerable.

Speaker 4 And as Bill would say, when you're carrying the ball, you're carrying the fate of the team, the upper division, the fan base,

Speaker 4 the region of New England in your hands.

Speaker 1 In your hands.

Speaker 1 Literally, it would be the whole thing. Yeah, no pressure.

Speaker 1 I mean, you can tell players that don't reach the ball at the goal line, but when you add in the fact that, like, hey, that's millions of people in your hand that you're about to disappoint, that's when it might sink in for you.

Speaker 1 Did you ever fuck up and do something?

Speaker 4 I did it a couple of times.

Speaker 4 I did it once against the Bills.

Speaker 4 If it works, they don't care. If it goes the other way, you know.
But I was at a point, you know, I was probably like seven years in, eight years in. Like, I would never have tried that within.

Speaker 4 And I didn't have any touchdowns

Speaker 4 at the time in the year, so I was like feening for a touchdown.

Speaker 1 Can you get into the doghouse during a game? Like, has he ever benched you during a game, or is it always after watching the film, getting the all-22?

Speaker 4 If you fumble and you're a younger player, you know,

Speaker 4 they'll put you in the doghouse, you know, but they're pretty good at, you know, like I coaches are pretty good at like letting you guys play and then working after the game and learning from the tape and then working from there and trying to improve.

Speaker 4 But

Speaker 4 there has, I remember, or like a drop, if you drop a ball, not necessarily the coach, maybe the quarterback puts you in the doghouse or he doesn't look your way certain.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God. Another bad Josh Rosen.

Speaker 1 This is awesome. Okay, maybe it's Josh Rosen.

Speaker 1 Who else could it be? Now you're just illusional, big cat. No, I mean, I know he's so bad.
He's so bad. Like I said,

Speaker 1 that's not him. Who is that?

Speaker 1 That was a Josh Rosen. They put that guy in there to make us think...
Oh, it's Felipe Franks. Felipe Franks is the worst quarterback of all time.

Speaker 1 I remember betting against Felipe Franks in college was one of my favorite, favorite pastimes. Because he's got a great name, so people think that he should be good.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 You got the alliteration, everything. Jules, so how's TV life going for you? Now Now you're a big-time entertainment mogul

Speaker 1 working with Ray Lewis. So, you started telling a story about Ray Lewis, and I plugged my ears because I was like, I don't want to hear this.

Speaker 1 I want to talk to you about it on the air because it sounded like a good one about how I guess one time, you know, you see him in the hallways, everybody gives him respect, always, uh, probably deservedly so, but at one point he um he he actually like injured your ass.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I mean, he he's he's knocked me out of a game a couple times.

Speaker 4 Um, my rookie rookie year in 2009, we were playing in the divisional round where we got blown out by Baltimore, where Ray Rice went for like

Speaker 4 76 out the gate in opening drive. And I caught a ball and Ray hit me and knee, like he kneed me in my butt.

Speaker 4 And he hit me so hard. I had like internal bleed.
I had a crazy hematoma where I instantly had to get an IV. They had to like check my vital systems.

Speaker 4 I couldn't sit down for like literally three weeks. I had full J-Lo butt on my right cheek.

Speaker 4 Literally like six times the size. I had to go fly with like a donut because it was the last game of the year.
I wanted to go home.

Speaker 1 I couldn't fly for like a week. Did they have to drain your ass?

Speaker 4 No,

Speaker 4 it's too close to like a certain artery. I don't know.
I think it was close to an artery or something.

Speaker 1 Damn.

Speaker 1 So you were thick. I was thick.
Two C's.

Speaker 1 Three C's. Two C's.
Two C's.

Speaker 4 It was nuts.

Speaker 1 Rate these wins. Thursday night football, Sunday night football, Monday night football.

Speaker 4 That's tough because when you get a Thursday night game, it's tough to play in those games after playing on a Sunday. You have a short week.
You could be banged up later in the year.

Speaker 4 So it's always good to get that Thursday night win.

Speaker 4 I always liked Monday night football. And then later in my career, it became Sunday night football was like the the Monday night football.

Speaker 4 But I would go, I would probably go with the Thursday night win because then you get a mini buy, you get a baby buy afterwards, baby buy.

Speaker 1 I like that.

Speaker 4 And then you also have, you know, it was a short week.

Speaker 4 You don't get actual practice on the field. It's all walkthroughs.
It's mental days. So then you get to like show the coaches, hey, guys, we got to win without doing actual

Speaker 4 on-field winner.

Speaker 4 So maybe, hey, you give us a walkthrough on next Wednesday.

Speaker 4 Maybe, maybe.

Speaker 1 Would they would Thursday night football?

Speaker 4 And sometimes they would if they saw it went well.

Speaker 4 If you had a good Thursday night game and you were kind of banged up, they would give us a Wednesday light walkthrough or a heavy walkthrough where they're kind of like jog-throughs.

Speaker 1 Would Thursday night football, from our perspective, and this might be totally wrong, is it always feels like Thursday night football, especially late in the season, it's like just do whatever you have to do to win.

Speaker 4 No style points, no, like, you know, if the game plan calls are just grinding it out you grind it out it's just it's one of those situations is that fair that that's i i would say that's fair i mean you're you're you're it's a completely different week than your team's used to especially you know if you have a young team or or a new head coach or any kind of new facet to your organization like that's tough when you don't get to have that actual muscle memory what you're everyone knows the schedule by this time of the year you know you're you're on this body clock body clock and then you have something completely different.

Speaker 4 Right. I mean, football players are creatures of habit, and anytime you can go get a win on a Thursday, it doesn't matter how it is, you know, it's still nice to get it done.

Speaker 1 So last time you were on the show, you talked about running into Bill and him telling you, like, if you got to motherfuck us, then motherfuck us. Yeah.
Because you're an analyst now. You're a pro.

Speaker 1 Cool. So I want to open up the floor.
I know it was a good performance tonight, but including all the games like the last time that we talked to you. You kind of did right after that.
I did.

Speaker 1 What do you say?

Speaker 1 It was like the week after, I think he came on because when they were still kind of going through it. Yeah, but I'm going to give you the opportunity.
Motherfuck the Patriots.

Speaker 4 Well, I can't right now.

Speaker 4 They're playing pretty solid complimentary football. I don't like the turnover.
I don't like a couple of the penalties, but I guarantee that's what they're going to hear.

Speaker 4 And like I said, it's a Thursday night game. Rookie quarterback.
I mean, he hit the seam when

Speaker 4 the corners were caring, not slooping.

Speaker 4 They may have had something different in a scouting report, and Dean Pease changed it up because Dean P's played against us, and he knows that we're a tendency game plan team.

Speaker 4 So, you know, there's a whole lot of factors. I got to watch the All 22.

Speaker 1 Oh, there we go. Film guy.

Speaker 1 I love that. Film guy through and through.
Do you think the Patriots have, are they like Hank's talking soupie right now?

Speaker 1 Is that crazy?

Speaker 1 It's early.

Speaker 4 It's early. I mean, that's very

Speaker 1 checking of you, yeah.

Speaker 4 It's the truth.

Speaker 4 There's so many variables that can happen in these next like four weeks. This is cream season.
This is like when the cream rises. The good teams get really good.

Speaker 4 You got to hope for the best in the

Speaker 4 injury department because that'll derail you. You know, you go out and lose someone, you know, lineman or this or that.
You know, it always all has to come together.

Speaker 4 They're starting to perform and get better each week. You can tell just through their confidence level how they're playing on offense, defense, and in special teams.

Speaker 1 But it's still early. He's just nodding his head.
Did you see, by the way, that clip of Mac Jones doing an interview in August versus doing an interview last week?

Speaker 1 I had, like, oh, Belichick has completely taken over his brain. Like, the one in August, he's laughing, he's having fun, and then the one last week, it's like the monotone

Speaker 1 Patriot way.

Speaker 4 I think he probably,

Speaker 4 you know, he's seen how

Speaker 4 big this is. You know,

Speaker 4 you don't want to go out there and

Speaker 4 he's probably here, and you don't want to give bulletin board material. Of course, everything this, that, that Bill preaches.

Speaker 4 But, like, now he's starting to feel like, hey, he's becoming the face of that organization. So, like, let's just worry about what we have to worry about because that's what they preach all day long.

Speaker 4 Like, they do so much to like basically manipulate your mind into, like, we have to go work, improve, have to go work, improve.

Speaker 4 So much information that you don't even get to to read the press clippings or the Twitter or this, that. Like,

Speaker 4 there's a lot of cutting down, pruning of the trees over there. And when you're flying high with the Patriots, you know, Coach makes it harder.

Speaker 1 Sounds like the best possible version of North Korea. Like, if they actually got, if they got results.
They won Super Bowls. Yeah.
If North Korea had won six Super Bowls in the last 20 years.

Speaker 1 Kim Jong-un was walking around with rings.

Speaker 1 Everything would be looked at differently. Yeah.

Speaker 1 History smiles upon winners. Yes.

Speaker 1 And also,

Speaker 1 it goes back to what you're saying about the football.

Speaker 1 Like, when you're giving a press conference, your words carry the weight of the entire organization, everybody in ticket sales, the vendors, everyone that lives in the state of Massachusetts is counting on you to not fumble the ball.

Speaker 1 Rhode Island, Vermont. Yeah, it's a huge New England.
Yeah, so. It's half of Connecticut.

Speaker 1 So, what is New England? Would you say that, like, really far northeastern New York, is that New England?

Speaker 4 I don't think so, no.

Speaker 1 That's Buffalo. You don't play for them?

Speaker 4 I mean,

Speaker 4 if they support, they support. But I don't play anymore.
I'm an analyst.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so speaking of analysts, let's talk about the league overall because you do talk about the whole league. You watch the film on the whole league.

Speaker 4 Inside the NFL streaming on Paramount Plus.

Speaker 1 It's one of my favorite shows. It's been one of my favorite shows for a very long time.
Adding Jules just made it even better.

Speaker 1 That's not because you're a friend, but that's a fact.

Speaker 1 So PFT and I had a discussion last week about soft teams.

Speaker 1 I'm not not going to have you call anyone soft. So I'll flip it the other way.
In your estimation, who are the top three toughest teams in terms of

Speaker 1 physicality, hitting,

Speaker 1 the way that they play offense and defense? Who are the three teams that you're like, those teams are tough and they play man-on-man football?

Speaker 4 Right off the top of my head,

Speaker 1 I can't say the Patriots.

Speaker 4 Well, I mean,

Speaker 1 what is really They're in there, yeah.

Speaker 4 What defines a tough football team?

Speaker 4 No, no, this is what defines a tough football team. A physically tough football team, from what I was taught from

Speaker 4 some guy named Bill,

Speaker 4 a tough football team can run the ball, can stop the run, and can cover kicks. What teams do that the best?

Speaker 4 Baltimore,

Speaker 4 Patriots, Tennessee. Like,

Speaker 4 those are three teams that I think of hard, tough football teams.

Speaker 4 I'm not saying there's not other teams that are, but right off the top of my head, I'm saying, I mean, look at it. Patriots have two running backs.
They probably just ran for

Speaker 4 160.

Speaker 4 Lamar and that whole gang over there with Baltimore, they're running the ball. Everyone runs the ball over there.
They control the game. They stop.

Speaker 4 Their defense comes up with big plays and big situations. Tennessee's doing the same thing, even when they don't have King Henry.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 4 that's what defines a tough football team to me. That's what I was always taught.
Someone who could run the ball, someone that could stop the run, and someone that can cover kicks.

Speaker 1 That part is interesting to me. So cover kicks is part of being a tough football team?

Speaker 4 That's field position.

Speaker 1 And that's tough. What about the Cowboys? Ooh.

Speaker 4 I mean, I wouldn't put them above those guys.

Speaker 1 Those aren't, that's not tough. What about the Bucs? Because we were talking.

Speaker 1 Part of the discussion was when the Bucs play defense, the way they, the style of defense they play when they have everyone out there, they seem like a tough football team.

Speaker 1 Where, from my perspective, a tough football team is when you're watching and a guy will like get stopped at the line of scrimmage and there'll be five defenders tackle him at once.

Speaker 1 Like where everyone swarms to the ball on every play.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I think, I think they're a tough football team.

Speaker 4 That defense is fast. They're sideline to sideline guys, but they also can plug the middle and they can run the ball with Leonard Fournette, Jones in the backfield.

Speaker 4 That's when they play their best football. That's when they're going out and winning games, setting up the play actions, putting themselves in manageable third down so they can use all their weapons.

Speaker 4 That is a tough football team. The Colts, I think the Colts with Taylor,

Speaker 4 their defense is playing real tough right now. That's a tough football team.
You know, if Carson just settles down, settle down. I mean,

Speaker 1 Carson's having a weird season because he's actually playing

Speaker 1 well,

Speaker 1 but the problem is his few interceptions, he's only thrown a couple. Doide plays.
Doide.

Speaker 1 And they stick out in your brain. You're like, what's going on? Bad.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 Bad. You know what? The Steelers want to be tough.
Their defense is tough, and they have a tough coach. I like Tomlin.
He's a tough guy.

Speaker 4 But

Speaker 4 they're not utilizing that run. They're not built for it yet.

Speaker 1 What about the other side of the coin? I won't make you say it, but I'll say it. The Rams are soft.
The Rams are a soft football team right now.

Speaker 1 And part of it, I think, has to do with bringing a bunch of guys in. That's always got to be hard, right? When you add guys mid-season?

Speaker 4 I mean, they're getting a bad rap right now just because, you know, they've been lighting it up in the beginning part of the season, and they're on a little skid.

Speaker 1 Primetime skid, too, doesn't help. Yeah, you know, but it's actually a compliment when I call the Rams soft, in a way, because they have expectations.
Like, they should be a good team.

Speaker 1 They've got all the talent, and they've got some very tough players, but for whatever reason, they just are striking me as the S-word.

Speaker 4 By definition, what's tough?

Speaker 1 Covering kicks, run the football, which they're not doing, right? Stopping the run, and then stopping the run.

Speaker 4 What do you do to a team that has a lot of guys that like to rush up the field? You run the football, you run the football,

Speaker 1 you run the football. So, Von Miller, getting that additional there, yeah, he can beat a guy one-on-one, but you also know where he's going to be.

Speaker 4 I mean,

Speaker 4 we'll see.

Speaker 4 I haven't got to dig into that tape quite yet.

Speaker 4 But,

Speaker 4 you know, those are the teams where you usually run towards those types of guys because, yeah, on third and long, third and down, they know it's a pass play.

Speaker 4 Those guys pin their ears back and they come after the quarterback and they do a damn good job at it.

Speaker 4 But, I mean, if they do that, they have that same intensity. You throw a screen,

Speaker 4 you run the ball towards them. Do they want to run? Do they want to two-gap and shed a guy

Speaker 4 when they're trying to get up the field? I mean, that's what you usually do against those kind of tight ends, those DNs. You saw the weekend before when the Patriots played against Garrett.

Speaker 4 What did they do? They slowed him down by running at him. They slowed him down by throwing screens at him.
And

Speaker 4 that's tough football.

Speaker 1 What do you think is wrong with the Chiefs? Or is nothing wrong with the Chiefs?

Speaker 4 I think they're getting better. I think the Chiefs are getting better.
They're playing smarter football.

Speaker 4 I think

Speaker 4 over years of having success, you put a standard out. And

Speaker 4 whenever there's any kind of blips or there's any bumps in those roads, everyone wants to just jump ship and say, oh, this team, no, what's going on?

Speaker 4 It's just because they've done so well in the last couple years.

Speaker 4 And we all know, you know, like they have this backyard style football where they go out, Patrick Mahomes runs around, he finds his guy and makes a miraculous play, which you're like, oh my God, how'd he make that play?

Speaker 4 And those plays haven't been going their way

Speaker 4 this year as much as they want.

Speaker 4 So like the last couple weeks, what have they been doing? They've been taking care of the football. Their defense has been very opportunistic and playing situationally very well on a third down.

Speaker 4 But they're also

Speaker 4 doing better on first and second down, which that creates that third and short where instead of playing that pre-vent defense that everyone's playing on them when you're in third and 10 and you're putting two guys on Kelsey, you're putting a safety over Hill, and for other, whatever reasons, the other guys aren't doing what they're doing, or Patrick may not trust them right now, or something like that.

Speaker 4 But when you have it in third and manageable third and short, then they got to play the sticks. And then you can start hitting those deep patterns, and they're finding their way.

Speaker 4 creating these screens. They're doing a bunch of reverses, try to get better situational play in the first and second down, which we saw these last couple weeks.
So

Speaker 4 it'll be huge for them when they get a Alaire back this week, and hopefully,

Speaker 4 they use him.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Elair. Alaire.
Elair. Elaire.

Speaker 4 Jake? It's kind of like Eclair.

Speaker 1 Hilaire? I think it's Alaire? One of Jake's all-time class Edwards.

Speaker 4 What did I say? Alaire?

Speaker 1 No, he said Hilaire.

Speaker 1 That was before I checked. If I was calling his name, I would have prepped Papa.
That's true. Correct.
That's true. It's Elaire.

Speaker 1 Elaire.

Speaker 1 I think it's

Speaker 4 H-E-L-A-I-R-E. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's French. It's like Cajun almost.
Yes. What about another team I think is pretty hard? The Green Bay Packers.

Speaker 4 They actually, they are a hard team. I mean,

Speaker 4 they just lost Jones, though. That's going to be.

Speaker 1 And Bortles. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Was Bortles there? Yeah, he was there. The boat? Yeah, they brought him in because he had the Seahawks playbook, and then they cut him loose like yesterday's trash.
But yeah,

Speaker 1 they're losing running back.

Speaker 4 They're just playing lights out right now. They're playing tough football, and

Speaker 4 I would define them as a tough team.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and the backup running back might be harder than their starting running back. What's his backup of

Speaker 4 A.J. Dillon? He had a good game last week.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 his quads. He's big.
Yeah, big legs. Big boy.
All right, so

Speaker 1 let's finish with this.

Speaker 1 Well, two things. One is, have you changed your Super Bowl prediction?

Speaker 4 I said,

Speaker 4 Bills.

Speaker 1 I'm giving you a chance to change your Super Bowl.

Speaker 4 And Green Bay.

Speaker 1 Okay. Have you changed it?

Speaker 1 Nah, not yet. Not yet.

Speaker 4 Not yet. I mean,

Speaker 1 I like it.

Speaker 4 I'm going to ride with the Bills. I mean,

Speaker 4 I got to start seeing some things. I got to start seeing.
The offense needs to start getting it going. Come on, ski ball.
That's Dayball, the OC over there.

Speaker 1 Ski ball?

Speaker 4 Yeah, he's bald, so we used to call him ski ball.

Speaker 1 Did he ever get you

Speaker 1 with an Imagine Dragons or a D's Nuts joke? Always.

Speaker 1 Do you remember any of his good ones?

Speaker 4 No, but

Speaker 4 he would literally...

Speaker 4 It was dad jokey when he would do it, though. Like, you know know what I mean? Like, he'd try to get you and like ski.
I mean, I'm not, you, you've already said it every day.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I've heard them all. Yes.
Uh, one last question about the Patriots. Would you say that maybe a knock against them right now is they don't have any like real weapons on offense?

Speaker 4 I think they do have weapons. I think they've had, they have a lot of weapons.
Um,

Speaker 4 the addition of Henry has been really good. He seems to become like a red area, a red area target for Mac.

Speaker 4 Aguilar, he had a big catch last last week, the touchdown on the seam, or was that not

Speaker 4 tonight tonight on the zone? You're seeing his speed. Jacoby, he's doing very well on third down.

Speaker 4 I mean, he's a really good football player, good route runner.

Speaker 4 Aguilar, Nelson. I mean,

Speaker 1 they got some weapons.

Speaker 1 I like when you say red area. I'm going to start doing that now.
That's what they call it. Yeah, that's how you know that a guy's played football.

Speaker 1 It's like when a small change in dialogue, because you don't say red zone. I've never heard you say red zone.

Speaker 4 Yeah, it's that's what we used to call it. Red area.
The red area. Red area offense.

Speaker 1 It sounds a lot cooler that way.

Speaker 1 It's like I'm pretty sure Bob Diacchio, who the civil conflict is this weekend, I think he tried to start calling it the blue zone, and it was like 22-yard line of hand.

Speaker 1 That's really where

Speaker 1 you're changing things.

Speaker 4 So technically, from the 35 to the 20, they call that the fringe.

Speaker 1 Oh. Okay.

Speaker 4 What about from 35 to 35, midfield that's you're in other people's territory the middle eights no middle eight do you preach that you'll see a lot of teams when they hit that fringe and some some teams even count it to like the 40

Speaker 1 you'll see the red area the the fringe shot on first down that's like the old the classic bill cower which i miss every time they would get the ball over the 50 yard line it'd be a trick play fringe shot yeah

Speaker 1 like boom antoan randuel you're up um last thing uh have you gone out with billy yet Because I know last time you were here, you guys were going to plan on going out with Billy.

Speaker 4 I haven't. I was in LA for two weeks.

Speaker 1 So what the fuck?

Speaker 4 I got to bring my guy out, get him out of Hoboken.

Speaker 1 Do you think that Billy could hang with you? Yeah, dude.

Speaker 1 Like going to a club. Do you think Billy could hang?

Speaker 4 I don't go to clubs, clubs.

Speaker 1 I go to like...

Speaker 1 So the club, though. Not the club club, but the club.

Speaker 4 Oh, in the club.

Speaker 1 Well, you don't go to club clubs, but you go to clubs.

Speaker 4 No, I go to like restaurants. Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 Would Billy be a good restaurant guy? No. You'd have to order for him.

Speaker 1 He would want to order extra to bring it home with him.

Speaker 4 We'll get you doggy bag, buddy.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Always. Oh, last, last question.
There's a guy on Twitter who

Speaker 1 is called PMT Commenter. I think I followed him.
Commentator PMT.

Speaker 1 And he said that Jules, you DM'd with him for an entire season thinking it was PFT. 100%.
Oh, no.

Speaker 1 What was he saying? I don't even remember.

Speaker 4 I was like, yeah.

Speaker 4 Hey, that was funny about this one take.

Speaker 1 All right, so he says,

Speaker 1 fully. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Full true.

Speaker 1 He said,

Speaker 1 how are you doing, Buzz? I was capping. He responded, football's back, best time of year.
Stay safe. Best of luck.

Speaker 1 I would say that.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't know. I think you would say that.
Commentator PMT. Yeah, commentator PMT.
He's a big reader, not a big book.

Speaker 1 The entire season, Jules

Speaker 1 DM'd with me.

Speaker 4 I kept on thinking, like, why is this guy not verified?

Speaker 1 Yeah, right. He said, yeah, I know.
He said, they made me get a chest. Right after the Super Bowl against the Rams,

Speaker 1 he started a dialogue with you, and you thought it was PFT. Fool.
That's amazing. Shout out to that guy.
That's a legendary bro, by the way. I have permission to do anybody to get to the chat.

Speaker 1 Hey listen, I'm not going to be a narc. He actually said he's not going to be a narc.
So he shared one DM, but it seemed like he played it respectable. He wasn't sure what's going to be.

Speaker 1 Which is avatar. Is it part of my take or is it mine?

Speaker 1 You're not going to say it.

Speaker 1 It's

Speaker 1 you with Nick Cage over your face and then me behind it. Okay.
Maybe it's Arthur Smith.

Speaker 1 It might be Arthur Smith. But either way, he actually, like,

Speaker 1 that guy, he catfished you, but he was cool about it. Like, he wasn't an asshole about it.
So shout out to him. He was cool.
He's cool.

Speaker 1 He was just like a fan of yours.

Speaker 4 Look at Van Oi.

Speaker 1 He's just doing the post-game. Well, because he's high-stepping after that pick from Josh Rosenberg.
That post-game's got to feel pretty sick when you're like, oh, I'm going to come sit here in all

Speaker 1 my gear and just be like, I won this game. This is awesome.

Speaker 4 It depends on

Speaker 4 which crew you're with.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Joe Thomas meme stealer.

Speaker 1 I would just want to say that.

Speaker 4 Joe Thomas had a thing out for us. I did an interview with him once, and I'm like, dude.

Speaker 1 I like Joe Thomas Badger for life, but yeah, he stole a meme from me.

Speaker 1 What did he do to ruffle your feathers?

Speaker 4 He just kept on saying like, the Patriots.

Speaker 4 You guys are

Speaker 1 like, I don't know. He just...

Speaker 1 He's probably a nice.

Speaker 1 You sound like Hank right now.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he said, no, you said the person. I mean, it's coming from inside the organization like that.

Speaker 1 It's belly. It just felt like

Speaker 4 he looked down on us. Like, I don't know.

Speaker 1 It's not a conspiracy theory. Like, it's not like it's some random fan sitting on the couch.
You know, like, you guys don't have fun.

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the Browns had a lot of fun.

Speaker 1 No, Joe's a really good guy. He is.
He is. He knows a lot of.
He's a great analyst. Jozo is fucking ripped now.
Like crazy ripped.

Speaker 4 He's like a, he's, he's pretty.

Speaker 1 His abs are better than yours. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, I think you're getting a little soft.

Speaker 1 Hank's going to get abs, by the way. Hank's going to show you up.
Here's all I'm going to say: is I noticed that

Speaker 1 when Frank's birthday came up, oh, look, were there some jewels? We had some Edels, dog. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Some fans in the stands with the Edelman jersey. When Frank's birthday came up, Frank is Julian Edelman's dad.

Speaker 1 You did a throwback post of your abs, not a current date i wasn't with my dad okay but i'm just saying you're you're you're now like your your raya account has like an old picture of you with like with a super bowl yeah your cat figure you haven't played in the league in a year dude full out full house you're still fucking holding on to the glory race if you do get in the hall of fame you should make sure that your bust has it goes down to the waist and you have a six pack and then when they put the shirt on you you're not wearing any shirt or the jacket you're not wearing a shirt underneath that would be tight that'd be tight let us if you go to the Hall of Fame, we're not going to get crazy.

Speaker 1 We're not going to get crazy. I wasn't going to say we're going to introduce you, but the party before you know the night before the e-throw, let us make a toast.
I mean, 22 for 26.

Speaker 1 Please, let us make a toast.

Speaker 4 Pretty good. I mean, it's technically 23.
You got a pick, so he threw it to someone.

Speaker 1 That's fair. Let us make a toast.
All right, well, Jules, this has been awesome.

Speaker 1 You got to do it one more time before Christmas, so in a month.

Speaker 1 Hanukkah, yeah, come on. Well, Hanukkah's coming up before Christmas.
28th.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 we got to do it, though, before the Christmas break. We'll have you come back for a Thursday night game.
People really do love this. I love it.
So thank you.

Speaker 4 I do too, guys. You guys are always fun to hang out with.

Speaker 1 Hank, any last words?

Speaker 1 Oh, soupy. See you soon in L.A.
Well, I guess I'll see you here in a week, in a month.

Speaker 4 A month. If you guys come out to L.A., let me know.

Speaker 1 I'm out there. Well, we will be there for the Super Bowl.
Me you, Billy Soho House? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Downtown?

Speaker 1 Yes, video. That's a video.

Speaker 4 You can't do video in there, dude.

Speaker 1 We'll put some fucking GoPros on him. We'll put a GoPro on Billy.
What's the deal with L.A.? Are you allowed to drive a car in LA? Yeah. You are? Why? Still? No, why would you?

Speaker 1 You don't have any outstanding issues you got to take care of out there?

Speaker 4 You know that was a citizen's arrest. What? It wasn't even a real arrest.

Speaker 1 You got arrested by a fake cop. Basically, Billy arrested you.
Some guy waved a cop down.

Speaker 4 After I did a hood slide, like a star skiing hudge hood slide.

Speaker 4 Everyone thinks I jumped on a car and was like like wrecking it like i walked by a car i thought it was one of my buddies and i do like a star skiing hutch like hood slide like swipe it on it guy gets out of his car and waves down a cop he's like hey this guy and there was a robbery right next door so we were locked up in this restaurant for like four hours so they caution taped all this area off

Speaker 4 And I sit there and it's me, Paul Pierce, and fucking, or in Amendola. And we were, you know, drinking the stuff, having a good old time.

Speaker 4 And as soon as we get out, we were talking about Starski and Hutch, and I was like, hey, guys. And I do like a Starski Hutch hood slide, and later I'm getting cuffed up.

Speaker 1 That's bullshit. That's classic California.
They don't understand.

Speaker 1 They don't understand the hood slide.

Speaker 1 All right, Jules. Thank you.

Speaker 1 Okay,

Speaker 1 week 11.

Speaker 1 I'm sad that it's already week 11.

Speaker 1 I have to just say it. I just have to say it.
I know that everyone doesn't like when I do this, but I want to remind people that the football season is fleeting.

Speaker 1 It's an hourglass, and when college football has two regular season weeks left, the hourglass of time is...

Speaker 1 I don't even know what the end of that saying is.

Speaker 1 The sands of time are slipping through our fingers. They're like sand through an hourglass.
How do you like that analogy? That's spin zone.

Speaker 1 We only have seven more Houston Texans games to watch.

Speaker 1 So that's cool. That was such a nice little Sunday that we had last week when the Texans were never on our programs.
Yeah. And the Bears.
It's nice to have the Bears involved.

Speaker 1 Shout out Matt Nagy, by the way. I don't know if I'm sure you guys saw, but his quote today where he said, no one's to blame but everyone.
Yeah. For the Bears losing streak.

Speaker 1 That's a true leader. I think actually, I think General Patton said that.
The spin zone is like, it's saying he's part of that. He's included in that.

Speaker 1 So he's saying like, it's literally everyone's fault. It's mine, too.

Speaker 1 It's every if you look at it from a global perspective in the butterfly effect, how every single thing causes every other thing to happen, he's right. Yes.

Speaker 1 Everybody that has ever lived on planet Earth is directly responsible in some way for the Bears' record at this point. It's no one's fault other than everybody's.

Speaker 4 That is a true leader, right there.

Speaker 1 That's a guy who's willing to stand up in front of everyone and say, hey, guys, it's everyone's fault, which is essentially saying it is my fault.

Speaker 1 I just can't stomach to say it because I know I'm a failure and a buffoon, and everyone hopes I get fired. Yeah, when he talks to the media, I've noticed this about Matt Nagy.

Speaker 1 He sounds like if Buddha was really depressed, Buddha Ben? No,

Speaker 1 he sounds like the Buddha,

Speaker 1 like the guy in charge of the entire religion. Yeah.

Speaker 1 If, like, the Dalai Lama woke up one day and was just really sad. He's.
And his entire life teachings developed a more nihilistic point of view. He's like

Speaker 1 if Veep met NFL football. Like, he's, he, every time he gets in front of the press, he walks off.
He's like, I nailed that. Yeah.
But you see that? You see that what I did there?

Speaker 1 I got, I, I got my seat a little cooler because I blamed everyone. He's like, if Charlie Brown eventually got to kick the football in the time that it did, it bounced off two uprights.

Speaker 1 Yeah, fuck, man. He's, I, it was nice to have a weekend off.
We'll get to those games, but I just thought that was a really a testament to his leadership to blame everyone.

Speaker 1 no one but everyone it's everyone all right standings jake it is tight chaos chaos hank has a nice lead two and a half game is up on you big cat at 22 and 18 and then four-way tie between all wait so four-way tie and then liam's in last nope for you're in second or i'm in second so i'm on the trip the rest of us have a four-way tie so we got to do rock paper scissors on four of us you got to go uh odds are even Should we do one and two?

Speaker 1 No, you want to go. No, yeah, odds are even.
You go one, two, three, shoot. You throw a one or a two.
Whoever's the odd man out is out. Yeah.
And then you keep doing it until there's.

Speaker 1 One, two, three, shoot.

Speaker 1 No, PFT threw a three up. It's not a standard.
It's not. Yeah, but it's one or two.

Speaker 1 Why can I put a three up? Just do a one or a two. That's bullshit.
I should be able to. Just do a one or a two.
It's very easy. One or two.
Ready? We're at zero. Nope.
Just go ahead and get a two.

Speaker 1 One or two, three, shoot.

Speaker 1 Okay?

Speaker 1 Billy is out. Okay.
Now it's the three of you. Well, is that it? Because

Speaker 1 we're looking for a loser. But he won.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he got it. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 So, yeah. Go ahead.
Two, three, shoot.

Speaker 1 PFT's out. So now it's rock, paper, scissors, shoot between Liam and Jake.
This is all very interesting.

Speaker 1 Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. Subscribe to the YouTube.
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. Tie.
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. What the fuck? They're tied three times in a row.

Speaker 1 All right. Bob, Bubble won.
So

Speaker 1 Jake and I are going on a trip to LA. Yeah, wow.
That sounds like fun.

Speaker 1 Well, that would be really fun. Two-man wolf pack.
We'd just fucking have a great time. We'd talk some college ball.
Which, by the way, can we get a quick review of Indiana?

Speaker 6 Yeah, it was fantastic. We got to it in my Firefest a little bit later.

Speaker 1 The Imagine Dragons. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's brutal. You got Imagine Dragon? He got Imagine Dragon in IRL.
Jake, you got to be better than that. All right, we'll talk about it.

Speaker 1 You've got to spend enough time around Billy to not fall for D's nuts jokes. Yeah, it's different.
Yeah, we'll talk about it on Firefest.

Speaker 1 All right, so it was awesome. So it is getting tight.
So everyone's above 500? Yeah, we're taking it. That's incredible.

Speaker 1 It's easy to break. We're at 19 and 5 last week.
Wow. Incredible.
That means we're going to be a bloodbath.

Speaker 1 Like I said, that trend went undefeated last week. The trend of betting on teams that did not cover the spread against teams that did cover the spread.

Speaker 1 So I just want to highlight, since that trend is on such a hot streak this year, the games that do fall under that category, it would be tonight's game. Yep.
The Ravens against the Great Britain.

Speaker 1 Which we just talked about.

Speaker 1 The Falcons and the Patriots, Patriots, which we've already talked about.

Speaker 1 And then you've got the Browns minus 11 over the Lions.

Speaker 1 And then you have the Jets plus 3.5 against the Dolphins. The Colts plus 7 against the Bills.
So if you're looking to bet that trend, those are the games that you need to follow. Okay, great.

Speaker 1 I mean, it makes sense. The trend definitely makes sense.

Speaker 1 Just go counter what everyone thinks is the way things are going to go. All right, let's do it.
Let's talk about the games. Let's do some preview.
Hank, your first favorite.

Speaker 1 I love every dog this weekend, by the way, which means that's a bloodbath. That's scary.
I feel a bloodbath coming. I'm just going to say it.
I'm going to get it out of the way.

Speaker 1 I've been running a little hot. Bloodbath.
Whenever I start to get a little hot, everything falls apart. And the dogs have been red hot.
Yeah, so bloodbath. Kyler Murray's not playing, correct?

Speaker 1 We do not know yet. Not sure.
This is your favorite. He is spending 27 hours a day rehabbing to try to one-up Russell Wilson.

Speaker 1 I think the Seahawks looked so bad last week, and the Cardinals won anyway, despite the fact that he's not playing. So, whether or not he's playing

Speaker 1 last week, the Cardinals got punched in by the Panthers. Oh, shit, you're right.

Speaker 1 I'm still taking them. Cardinals minus two.
Stick with it. I like it.
I like it. Bubba,

Speaker 1 let's talk about this game real quick. So,

Speaker 1 this is definitely

Speaker 1 the end of their season, though. They have to win this game.
Three and seven, going three and seven, if they lose this game,

Speaker 1 there's zero margin for error to come back and get a playoff spot. So, DK Metcalf not suspended for this game despite being ejected twice in last week's game.

Speaker 1 I like the Seahawks in it. I really do because if Kyler doesn't play, we already had the good Colt McCoy game.
Strivler is a unit, but he's that quintessential guy that can make some noise in the CFL.

Speaker 1 But when he plays actual football on a field that uses yards instead of meters,

Speaker 1 he looks so out of place. My big thing with this game is it feels like everyone is writing off not just the Seahawks, but an era.

Speaker 1 So when you have an era ending the Pete Carroll the Russell Wilson era it feels like you got to take the Seahawks because you don't lose end of an era games you could though and then you can that is the end of the era right but you can lose them in the playoffs I think you rally the troops to to win them in the regular season I think that you mostly define the end of an era as a season at large so I don't know if there's it would have to be a more important game I think to be an end of an era game

Speaker 1 this is an end of an era game because if they lose they probably won't make the playoffs therefore end of an era.

Speaker 1 It's indicative of what the season could become. Could be an error game.
I want to change my pick. What? Yeah.
Okay. Are you talking me out of it?

Speaker 1 Are you going to

Speaker 1 pick it up? Oh, you can't blame me. I'm not blaming you.
This is my decision. Hand up.
Park starts with me.

Speaker 1 But I am going to flip it to the 49ers. Oh,

Speaker 1 okay.

Speaker 1 I don't want to risk the injury thing. And for some reason, I thought they won last week because I'm a moron.

Speaker 1 So that logic just went right out the window, and I don't. I hated that pick.
Now, you remember Cam Newton was back last week. Yeah,

Speaker 1 I'm confirmed a moron. That Niners-Jags game scares me.

Speaker 1 Six and a half. Six and a half.
So you're taking Niners minus six and a half. It just scares me because the Jags have been flirting.
I'm so mad at that team. I'm also not a favorite sky.

Speaker 1 Like, they should have just quit, and they haven't quit, and now I have to just figure out what's going on. You know, like, beat the Bills.
They hung in against the Colts.

Speaker 1 Maybe they're the team no one wants to play. They quit too early.
That's the problem with the Jaguars. They found their second win.
They're going to quit again.

Speaker 1 This could be the game that would make, this would be the end of the Urban Meyer era. Yeah.
If Kyle Shanahan comes in from the West Coast

Speaker 1 and just stomps him. And Kyle Shanahan, have you guys noticed? He looks like 30 years older this season than he did in the past.
I don't know what it is. He's got the gray hair now.

Speaker 1 He's got the gray beard. He looks skinnier.

Speaker 1 It's also like fucked my head up, whoever made the analogy that he looks like Kendall Roy, because then I just...

Speaker 1 I now associate all of Kendall Roy's characteristics with like Kyle Shanahan sitting in a meeting being like, I want my Twitter to be off the hook.

Speaker 1 Yeah, or if his dad, if Logan Roy was just like dark, dark red all the time. Yeah, Mike Shanahan,

Speaker 1 if he had, if he had a better tan. Yes.
All right, Bubba, your favorite.

Speaker 1 I'm going back with the Bills, minus seven. Ooh,

Speaker 1 playoff matchup from last year.

Speaker 1 Bubba, I don't know if you know this. We're discounting the Bills as a bit on this show.
Yeah, it was a bit. It was a total bit.

Speaker 1 Does that change your pick?

Speaker 1 Everyone should have to change one pick this week.

Speaker 1 Solidarity with Hank. This is actually

Speaker 1 a great slate of games, and this one is a true, like, what are these teams? Because if the Colts win, it's going to be like, oh, fuck, the Colts might be real in the AFC.

Speaker 1 And if the Bills win, people can kind of calm down about the Bills and not looking great the last few weeks. Although

Speaker 1 they clowned the Jets last week. Yeah, we kind of fucked up, though, because we forgot about the Colts' hard knocks, which

Speaker 1 I think you only watch it if you're a die-hard fan of the Colts. Is it going on right now?

Speaker 1 It happened like two nights ago. No, it happened, I want to say it was last night because I had a bunch of people being like, How are you not watching hard knocks?

Speaker 1 Yeah, well, dude, Maxion's on, like, college basketball's on, I'm sorry, like NBA's on. I can't watch Carson Wentz walk around and not say anything for an hour and a half.

Speaker 1 I think that's going to be one of those shows that I just watched strictly through the lens of the memes that come out of that show.

Speaker 1 I'm going to piece together what happens in the show by the still frames that I see posted online the next day.

Speaker 1 And as far as I can tell, the big takeaway is that Jim Ursa just got up there and started banging on the table and singing, We Will Rock You after a game. Like just screaming at the top of his lungs.

Speaker 1 I like that. And it was awesome.
It looked like the coolest scene ever. Again, I didn't watch it.
But I'm in favor of Jim Ursa singing at any point.

Speaker 1 All-time shifter tweet to think that people were like, remember when it was like, there's big breaking news coming. The Colts are going to have hard knocks in the middle of the season.

Speaker 1 The series that we all have kind of been over for a few years now.

Speaker 1 Let's do more of it when there's actual football on and we don't have to watch, you know, HBO shows and be like, oh, fuck, I wish there were football. Yeah, no, that's a note for me, Doc.

Speaker 1 The other thing that I saw was

Speaker 1 a little exhibit. Frank was that exhibit? No, no, yeah, that's Randy Jackson.
Brandy Jackson.

Speaker 1 What are those exhibits?

Speaker 1 Oh, you like Carson Wentz's? Well, I made you a football team

Speaker 1 out of Carson Wentz. Yes, yes, yes.
Yeah, so Carson Wentz. I made you a football team out of ducks.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Carson Wentz.

Speaker 1 Oh, you like fish? I made your entire stadium out of an aquarium.

Speaker 1 They were talking about

Speaker 1 that's exactly what Kyle Shanahan does with fullbacks on his team. He's made the entire plane out of the black box.

Speaker 1 Frank Reich scouted Carson Wentz. I also saw this in a meme from

Speaker 1 Hard Knox last night. He scouted him by giving, he gave all the quarterbacks

Speaker 1 problem-solving and IQ tests during the draft, like online ones. I assume they're the ones that you just get like in your email, like play this IQ test for free here.

Speaker 1 And so he had them take the test twice.

Speaker 1 And the second time that they took it, he just started screaming at them and spitting on them and throwing hats and shit across the room and telling them that they sucked.

Speaker 1 Carson Wentz is the only quarterback that he scouted that got better the second time when everybody was yelling at him.

Speaker 1 So you can just basically throw that entire way of scouting a quarterback out the window based on how he plays. Absolutely.
All right, your favorite PFT.

Speaker 1 My favorite favorite is going to be, I'm going to go with the system. I'm riding the deep numbers on this one.
I'm going the Browns minus 11 over the Lions. Maybe not Jared Goff.

Speaker 1 We might see David Blau. We might see.
No, there's actually David Blau, I think, is hurt too.

Speaker 1 We might see line, line, line. There's a different Lions quarterback.
I don't know who the backup backup on the Lions is. Lions quarterbacks.
I want to say Tim Boyle. Tim Boyle

Speaker 1 in the IR. Yeah, but I think he just got off the IR.
I think Tim Boyle might be the one who's going to play. Yeah, he took first-team reps.
So Tim Boyle. Where do I know that name from?

Speaker 1 He was a Packers backup. Tim Boyle.
Tim Boyle. Watch out for Tim Boyle.
Let me go ahead and stake my career on betting against Tim Boyle if he is starting. Yes.
Former UConn Husky Tim Boyle.

Speaker 1 UConn Huskies playing for the Lions, not turning off in hotel rooms. I'm just saying.
It's a history. Just in general, UConn, the only two teams that you've played for are UConn and the Detroit Lions.

Speaker 1 Oh, he did play for the Packers. Did he start, though? Did he start any games for him? He has not.
He has 15 yards passing in his career. Okay.
Yep. I'm going to go ahead and bet against Tim Boyle.

Speaker 1 15 yards. Three for four.
Jerry Goff has an injured oblique. So that explains how he's performed this year.
Yeah. He's been playing hurt out there.
So congratulations, Jerry Goff. You're a tough guy.

Speaker 1 Dan Campbell's probably just, if he's still calling the plays, he's going to run the ball 40 times this week. Yes.
Tim Boyle's career stats in the NFL. 2019 is the only time that he had stats.

Speaker 1 Oh, no, he had some in 2022. But 2019, three for four, 15 yards, five rushing attempts, minus seven yards, one fumble.
Don't like it. Lighting it up.
Don't like it. Tim Boyle.

Speaker 1 So I love the Browns this week. All right, my favorite

Speaker 1 is going to be the Raiders, minus one. Raiders, minus one.

Speaker 1 They have been bad recently. Bengals off a buy.
Okay, that's fine.

Speaker 1 I think this is a line in the sand game for both of these teams who can keep their season going forward. I'm going to say the Raiders.

Speaker 1 I'm going to say Rich Basicius got one more foxhole moment in him. They got their ass kicked by the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football.
Everyone last saw that. Raiders, minus one.
Give it to me. Okay.

Speaker 1 I think I like the Bengals in this one, but

Speaker 1 not enough to bet on. Yeah.
I just... I think Rich Basicki has got one more.
He's got one more rally of the troops.

Speaker 1 I do love that John Gruden is actually going through with a lawsuit against Roger Goodell for being an anti-football pussy. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Really, he should just file a lawsuit that says that as the title of it. Get it thrown out the first day, but just have it be a matter of public record.
Yes. That Goodell is an anti-football P-word.

Speaker 1 That would be great if Goodell had to prove that he wasn't an anti-football pussy.

Speaker 1 Billy. Going with the Buccaneers minus 11.
Billy, are you eating right now? Oh, yeah. No, this is just one of the pardon my biggies.
Oh, from Barstool Bites App. Yeah, I mean, it's amazing.

Speaker 1 It's a great sandwich. Hell yes.

Speaker 1 pardon my biggie. We got a bunch of

Speaker 1 White Sox Dave's chicken wing bucket is my personal favorite. Go right now if you want to eat some food.
The buff chip dip is my personal favorite.

Speaker 1 The buff chip dip is very, very good, and the chips that come with it are very, very good.

Speaker 1 Stop getting like the usual, you know, you probably, at this point in the season, you're probably bored with your Sunday options of food. Well, guess what?

Speaker 1 Barstool Bites app has everything that you want and more. I like the Franz Frickles because they're fried pickle chips that are sliced in the chip fashion, not in the spear fashion.

Speaker 1 So you get more surface area of the fried. That was a weak bite, Billy.
I thought you were going to really. That was a weak bite.

Speaker 1 So go right now, Barstool Bytes app. Go download it.

Speaker 1 Perfect, perfect football menu right to your door. Okay, so Billy, who is you have the Bucks? Minus 11?

Speaker 1 Daniel Jones, you know they are wearing their Color Rush white uniforms. Did you know that? I did not, but I don't think the Giants have ever performed well in their Color Rush.
Is that true?

Speaker 1 Statistically, maybe.

Speaker 6 I think they've also been. Is this where he's got his first one?

Speaker 1 He did. Sure is.
He did. Yes, he did.
He did. Saquon might be back.

Speaker 1 Might be back. But the reason I'm saying this is because last week, Tom Brady had a one-minute press conference.
Yep. And basically.

Speaker 1 Okay. And basically was pissed off as fuck.
This week, I don't think he's going to let that happen again.

Speaker 1 And if you remember, last year, there was a Buccaneers Giants game that was way too close for comfort for the Bucs. Yep.
And I think he's going to avenge that. Yes, but he's also a Monday football.

Speaker 1 Giants against Tom Brady in general. Yeah.
Bad history for him. So he's going to be pissed off.
Might press a little bit. Do we know is AB coming back? See Antonio.
He's an important player.

Speaker 1 Is he coming back to that offense? Because that's a big difference. Are you trying to win this game? Not really.
Okay. Not really.
Not really.

Speaker 1 If you did, it would be okay, but you're not really. Okay, got it.
Jake, your favorite.

Speaker 6 I'm taking the Ravens minus five against your Bears.

Speaker 6 Take off this, that.

Speaker 1 I think I did that a few weeks ago.

Speaker 1 The Bears would not win.

Speaker 6 As a starter, Lamar Jackson, 13-0 in the regular season when playing on shorter rests against the team's opponent.

Speaker 1 The thing that's going to make me most mad, I'm pre-mad about the Bears, is that the Dolphins,

Speaker 1 I don't want to say there's a blueprint to beating the Ravens, but the Dolphins did blitz the hell out of Lamar Jackson and made it very difficult.

Speaker 1 And it seems like that's probably the way, instead of dropping everyone back in coverage and letting Lamar Jackson just be faster than everyone, maybe put some pressure on him, play some offense with your defense.

Speaker 1 The Bears probably watch that game and they're like, nah, we're going to beat him our way.

Speaker 1 They played a lot of cover zero against him, so I don't know if the Bears are going to follow up on that. No, they won't.
Anything smart, they won't do that.

Speaker 1 Another important thing to note is that Lamar Jackson has been out two days this week with diarrhea. Again, poopy pants.
He's the most diarrhea quarterback in the NFL, and he always plays great.

Speaker 1 He plays lighter when he's at diarrhea. So this is a big-time intestinal bug issue for

Speaker 1 the Ravens and for Lamar Jackson. So I'm going to bet on Lamar Jackson.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 I'm not very excited about this game. I just want Justin Fields to look good.

Speaker 1 But yeah, it was a nice break last last week not having the bears on sunday could kind of just clear your mind and not have that anxiety uh hey i also think there's a decent chance that every time lamar jackson says he has diarrhea during the week it's just harbaugh giving him a couple days off yeah just to rest him up yes which is smart in fact i think there will eventually be a coach if your team's talented enough you'll find a coach that gives his players off training camp for the most part, like he's good players.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And just be like, hey, we're going to put you on the injury report just so you don't have to practice and risk an injury.
You have to have veterans on the team, obviously, to do that.

Speaker 1 And I think it's probably more important to have the offensive and defensive lines play together in actual, you know, contact situations than it is for some of the other guys, like a wide receiver, a running back, or a quarterback, especially.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, you might just be lying. He's like, hey, Lamar, just FYI.
As long as you're not embarrassed, we're going to say that you got diarrhea again this week. It's kind of what they do with Gronk.

Speaker 1 I feel like they give him

Speaker 1 weeks off. Why would you want to push someone if you would make him practice all the time if he knows the offense and he runs the first team anyway? Give him that extra break.
break i agree uh

Speaker 1 hank your underdog you like them all

Speaker 1 i don't like them all this week i'll probably take them all this week though because i love my underdogs uh

Speaker 1 you don't like them individually you love the concept of them in theory they're beautiful Yeah, I mean, what happens, you guys know, it's like you look at your picks all week, and then when it comes time to actually, you know, man up, sign into your account, and make those picks, I just, I see that plus sign, the i see the blackout and i black out it's it's i if when in doubt i usually just don't bet it or like bet the over-under because you know betting favorites are just for suckers yeah with that being said i did like the lions again i'm probably gonna go 0-4 this week because i got talked out of the cardinals you did not no i'm saying no you did like you guys didn't force me to do it you talked yourself you guys talked it out loud and i like and doing so talked me out of it an error game is very important the same thing happened with the lions because i was going to take the lions but i can't after going through those stats.

Speaker 1 I just can't in good faith do it. So I'm going to audible here and go with the Jets, New York Jets.
They've gotten absolutely shit pumped in. Joe Flacco.
Joe Flacco. Joe Flacco.

Speaker 1 They cannot play as bad as they've played. Rex Ryan gave him some bulletin board material.
Robert Sala.

Speaker 1 And yeah, water always finds its level.

Speaker 1 They've literally gotten been the worst team maybe in the history of football the last few weeks.

Speaker 1 Clowned left and right. Billy, how are you feeling about your Jets this weekend? They're also my underdog.

Speaker 1 There we go. I've got them just for the Flacco factor.
Oh, you guys.

Speaker 1 You got Flacco crazy.

Speaker 1 Flacco is ready to go.

Speaker 1 See, the thing about Joe Flacco is

Speaker 1 he admitted he was not vaccinated, but he said, I don't want it to be a story. And the media was just like, okay, we just won't make this a story since he asked so polite.

Speaker 1 I think Joe Flacco was just saying, like, a lot of people need boosters. People who are immunocompromised need to have their lives saved after that.
Let him go first.

Speaker 1 So I'm going to say, I'm not going to jump the line. I'm Joe Flacco.

Speaker 1 I will actually go out there and save lives like Bryson DeShambo.

Speaker 1 Exactly. Now, I do think that Joe Flacco, even before this year, we talked about the most sackable quarterbacks in the NFL.
And this year, it's probably, what, Matt Ryan, Kirk Cousins? Yep.

Speaker 1 Joe Flacco immediately jumps to the top of that list. He's an old school quarterback in that he wears cement boots.
Yeah. Like when

Speaker 1 even when he was fast, he was slow. Yeah, when quarterbacking used to be all like, hey, if you have a rocket arm, it doesn't matter that you can't move.

Speaker 1 The position has changed, but Joe Flacco persists, and I'm excited to watch Joe Flacco. I just think that

Speaker 1 Flacco is a guy that will get a couple pass interference calls in this game.

Speaker 1 That's what he does when he takes shots, actually, is he usually ends up on the better side of it because he gets a lucky flag. Yep.
But yeah, Joe Flacco, is he elite? We'll find out.

Speaker 1 All right, so three out of six of us are on the Jets plus three and a half. Bubba, your underdog.

Speaker 1 I'm going with the Bengals. Ooh,

Speaker 1 okay.

Speaker 1 The Raiders. Yes, yes.

Speaker 1 Great color matchup between these two teams, by the way.

Speaker 1 Also, shout out UCLA, USC meaning nothing this weekend, but that is the goat of uniform matchups.

Speaker 1 Are those the most arrested teams, the Bengals and the Raiders, throughout League history? It's got to be, yeah. Yeah, somebody run those stats.
I'd like to see Montez Berfick poll. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 That's true. Revenge game against himself.
Yeah. All right, I'm going to go with the Seahawks.
End of an era. I'm going to take the Seahawks plus two.

Speaker 1 They just

Speaker 1 can't be as bad as they were.

Speaker 1 And it looks like they were very, very bad. Their defense actually has played a little bit better.
But I'm just betting on Russell Wilson figuring out a way. Like, doesn't he seem like the guy?

Speaker 1 He's not going to suck two weeks in a row, is he? Unless he happened to re-injure his finger by coming back like three weeks early. Mr.
Unlimited? Which is an issue. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, he says that he's getting treatment. He's waking up at, what, 5 a.m.
to start treatment on his finger?

Speaker 1 What can you do to your finger to get treatment to make it heal faster? Besides, obviously, soaking it in concussion water. Cracking your knuckles? That's probably it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't know what he could possibly be doing, like getting a finger massage. Shout out the kid in every grade school that would crack their knuckles endlessly.
That was always gross.

Speaker 1 You were a knuckle cracker? No, I'm a knuckle cracker, but you know what I'm talking about. There was always one kid who would do it like non-stop and was like, all right, dude, we get it.

Speaker 1 You can crack your knuckles. I used to have a back trick that would freak people out.
Yeah. Go see it.
Blow it out. i'd do this yeah blow it out photo be careful oh my god

Speaker 1 but that's not it's not i'm like doing this

Speaker 1 david blank

Speaker 1 you just do that in class like when i was born and like the like people next to me that didn't see it they'd be like what the fuck oh my god you can do it with your neck too yeah no you know what i'm saying the one kid who just he would always crack his knuckles just not yeah that's me it is yeah i do it all and it's gross yeah it is gross also the person who gets totally grossed out by it and like makes a huge scene whenever it's a little bit more.

Speaker 1 I wouldn't get grossed out by it.

Speaker 1 No, I actually. It was just the guy who did it too much.
Like Liam. I was agnostic towards it.
I was like, oh, there's the weirdo doing the knuckle cracking.

Speaker 1 I crack my knuckles. I like cracking my knuckles.
But it's the kid and Bubba, you can speak to this. It's like they crack their knuckles and then they can still crack it.

Speaker 1 Like, if I crack my knuckles, I can do it. I can do it at like any point.
Yeah, right. Like, I don't know why.
Okay, yeah, that's weird. Like, if I crack my knuckles, it's crack for the day.
Done.

Speaker 1 Bubba's just cracking all the time. Just cracking it.
All right.

Speaker 1 Billy, you have your underdog, Jake.

Speaker 6 Taking the Saints plus two against the Eagles because Trevor Simeon's a Manning, and he addressed it publicly.

Speaker 1 He did. So what did he say exactly? He's like, I've heard this.

Speaker 6 Yeah, he said he's heard it before.

Speaker 4 I love it.

Speaker 1 I love it. I also, this game reminds me of

Speaker 1 what happened, PFT, you have a better memory than me. In 2014,

Speaker 1 false. The Saints Eagles.
Did something happen with the TV during that game? The playoff game? I don't know if I make that up.

Speaker 1 I don't know if anything happened with the TV, but was that the game that Sean Payton game planned like two weeks in advance or the one where he went ahead and he game planned if they would play against the Eagles after they lost?

Speaker 1 No, I'm talking about 2014, Nick Foles. The season he went 27 touchdowns, two interceptions.

Speaker 1 I don't know why it popped in my head when I was looking at the slate.

Speaker 1 I want to say the TVs went out, and maybe it was just a personal problem for like 10 minutes. Every TV.

Speaker 1 I think maybe it like

Speaker 1 a personal.

Speaker 1 Yeah, maybe it was a personal TV. Maybe it was just in Chicago.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 Someone will correct me. Something happened.
Nick Foles, though, going 27 and 2 that year is still.

Speaker 1 No, I think simultaneously everybody just threw something at their television because they couldn't believe that Nick Foles was actually good. Eagles television malfunction.

Speaker 1 All right, go ahead, Hank, your favorite over.

Speaker 1 My favorite over is the

Speaker 1 what do I have on my list? Yeah, I made this up. It definitely was my own TV.
Ah, the Saints. Okay.
Sean Payton, by the way, is going nuclear on Commissioner Goodell. The Saints Eagles over 43.
Good.

Speaker 1 Fuck Roger Goodell. He's doing the thing that Sean Payton loves to do because they did get fucked on that roughing the passer call last year.
So fucked. The Ryan Tannan.

Speaker 1 Oh, I thought you were talking about the Rams one. Oh, yeah, I mean, the Saints just always get fucked.
Yes. It's Roger Goodell's favorite pastime.

Speaker 1 In fact, Sean Payton should join in as a co-signer on John Gruden's lawsuit. A Saints Patriots Super Bowl would be like the ultimate

Speaker 1 Arnold and Carl Weathers handshaking, handshaking meeting tie. Wow.
That would be the first tie.

Speaker 1 Who would you like to face in the Soupie?

Speaker 1 Who would I like to face? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, I mean, obviously, like, yeah, you'd love to face, I don't know, the Lions.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the fun team to take down. I mean,

Speaker 1 the Packers would be fun. That would be a wild supie.
Yeah. I mean, the Bucs.
No, not the Bucs. Oh, not the Bucks.

Speaker 1 That's the answer. You're scared of the chance.

Speaker 1 Hank, you know how to say that. That tells me everything I need to know.

Speaker 1 That tells me everything I need to know, Hank, because

Speaker 1 you're scared of Tom Brady. That would be the best.

Speaker 1 You're not soup ready. It's literally like when, you know, like the Watt brothers face off against each other and the parents have to watch.
I'm an idiot for even not. Of course, I'm not sure.

Speaker 1 I would root for the Patriots, but

Speaker 1 every other team,

Speaker 1 it'd be all joy if we won. No sadness.
Fuck the other team. If we beat the Bucs, it would be like, you know.
You're not soup ready. You're not super ready.

Speaker 1 If you don't have the confidence to say, like, we want to beat the ball.

Speaker 1 You literally don't know the first thing about soup.

Speaker 1 i've won two soups don't tell me what's soup ready or not soup ready

Speaker 1 i've got two soups in my lifetime when you were like three yeah two and uh five i believe yeah soupy yeah it's soup season don't even talk to me about soupy i know that hank pretends to be confident like oh yeah we're ready for the super bowl this year but i can tell that you're not because you're afraid of playing against another team in it yeah i wouldn't want to play the bucks all right uh your over wait what was your over uh saints eagles saints eagles all right uh bubba

Speaker 1 Chiefs and Cowboys over 55 and a half. Yeah, that's a fun one.

Speaker 1 It's 55 and a half. Just change.
I don't care.

Speaker 1 We can take 55 and a half. I just wrote it down.
It's 55 and a half.

Speaker 6 Literally 30 minutes ago when I pulled this up, it was two, and I guess it just changed.

Speaker 1 But we can take 55 and 15.

Speaker 1 I might do the ball turn it over on that one. That one's going to be just a points factory.
I'm very excited about that. Clock management's going to suck, though.
That's the only thing.

Speaker 1 Like, you got Mike McCarthy and Andy Reid duking at it in the final two minutes of a half, trying to see who can fuck up the clock the least. I think we have to set a number because if it ends at 56.

Speaker 1 Let's say 56. All right.
It's even 56. Yeah.
Okay. Let's say 56.
I'm so excited for that game. But that is, so that's my over as well.
That's always just a very scary proposition. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Because if you have

Speaker 1 eight minutes of a,

Speaker 1 if you have one drive that ends in an interception, you're fucked.

Speaker 1 But that game's going to be great. It's also going to be a great test of,

Speaker 1 I'm just very excited for this week because I feel like we're going to learn a lot from this week. Like if the Cowboys go into Kansas City, they are on

Speaker 1 Supi Watch times a billion. And if the Chiefs win,

Speaker 1 they might be back on Supi Watch. I need to know what's going on with Jackson Mahomes, if he's going to be present at the game.

Speaker 1 If his lack of presence last week was something that was requested of him by his brother, maybe his brother's turning into little Aaron Rodgers. I don't know.
Ooh.

Speaker 1 Trouble in paradise with the Mahomes family. And I also need to know if this is going to be a Mike McCarthy, what his motivational strategy is going to be this week.
It's not another red-ass game.

Speaker 1 No, Kim. It's not a red-ass week.
Although every week is a red-ass week when you're Andy Reid, I don't know if he's going to bring out any motivational tactics. Not a watermelon game this week.

Speaker 1 You can't dip into that bag of tricks. Nope.
All right, so what's your over, Peter? So my over is going to be the football team at Carolina 43. I thought this was...
Ron Rivera revenge.

Speaker 1 Double revenge game, Cam Newton revenge game against

Speaker 1 Ron Rivera for not hiring him on the football team. So I know that Ron Rivera says that he has a file of defensive plays ready to use against Cam.

Speaker 1 He literally said, like, I've got binders filled with women that I'm ready to utilize against Cam.

Speaker 1 And also, fun little nugget here, Luke Del Rio, the son of Jack Del Rio, defensive coordinator for the football team, played high school football with Christian McCaffrey. Oh, wow.
That is fun.

Speaker 1 That's a fun little nugget. But yeah, I feel like 43, especially when you look at that football team defense,

Speaker 1 I don't know how it's going to stay under that. Yeah, I mean, no Chase Young, no Montez sweat.

Speaker 4 It's going to be...

Speaker 1 and Christian McCaffrey looks good again. Like, he does.
That was the biggest takeaway.

Speaker 1 Cam took all the headlines, but Christian McCaffrey, that was the first time I was like, whoa, he's back to being Christian McCaffrey. Billy, you're over.
Steelers, Chargers, 46.5.

Speaker 1 Now, is this a win or a loss? This is a loss. Okay.

Speaker 1 So you have no chance. No, I think this is.

Speaker 1 I hope Big Ben plays. Yeah.
It'd be very fun to see him on Sunday night football.

Speaker 1 I don't know if he will. Can he self-report as being healthy again? What a, what a, unbelievable that he self-reported.
What a great guy. Probably saved some lives.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 you think that Big Ben self-reported an injury or illness? What was the big quarterback story this last week in terms of an illness or something that Big Ben could copy?

Speaker 1 Because it's got to be in his brain. He's got to have something that is.
Cam Newton's back. Cam Newton's a vegan.
Maybe Big Ben goes vegan for the week.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I could see him throwing up on the team playing. They're like, Big Ben is still sick.
Nope. He just tried to eat tofu once.
He needs meat. He's going through meat withdrawals right now.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 Jake, you're over.

Speaker 6 Billy, we're looking at 47 now.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Again, we're sharp, so we're moving lines. Yeah.

Speaker 6 I'm taking the Cardinal Seahawks over 48.5.

Speaker 1 I think Russ can last week was a little bit of a team back in the year.

Speaker 6 And if Kyler plays, I think I like this even more. Even if it are game.

Speaker 1 I feel like, yeah. We'll see.
All right. Hank, you're under to wrap it up.
I'm 9-1 on my unders, by the way. Whoa.
Shout out to PMT Stats and Info for that. That's crazy.
It is pretty crazy.

Speaker 1 So this is probably going to be a loser.

Speaker 1 Raiders, Bengals under 50. Okay.
That's also my under. Whoa.
We got dueling unders here. Are we on like all the same picks? I think so.
Very similar.

Speaker 1 Raiders, Bengals. All right, Bubba, yours?

Speaker 1 I have...

Speaker 1 Who is it? Texans, Titans under 44 and a half. I just feel like that's an ugly game.
That could also be like... That could end up being Titans 40, Texans 3.
Yeah. And still hit that under.

Speaker 1 Although, doesn't it feel like this is the perfect spot for the Titans to have a letdown spot? I think they're going to win the game, but they've just been playing playoff teams. They've been rolling

Speaker 1 every week. Now they play a Titans or Texans team that is

Speaker 1 not even a real team.

Speaker 1 That might be... Just look at that as an underdog.
Hold your nose. Are we doing Mills Mafia again? Are we still on Turad's back? It's Tarad's back.
It's still Turrod back. Turad's back.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because they had the bye week after the Dolphins game. All right, you're under.
I'm going to go Niners Jags under 45.5.

Speaker 1 Just gross game. Probably not going to watch a second of it.
Nope.

Speaker 1 It'll cut in occasionally on red zone, and it'll be Ceciliano doing the thing where he's like, and watch this big play, and then somebody fumbles the ball in like the 20-yard line.

Speaker 1 It's going the other way now. Yes, yes.
All right, my under is going to be the Colts and the Bills under 49.5.

Speaker 1 I think the Colts are going to try to run the ball, play a little clock management, not let Carson Wentz make any mistakes.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, give me that under 49 and a half. And then, Jake, your last one, and then we'll wrap up any other

Speaker 6 PFT Niners Jags under 45 and a half.

Speaker 1 All right, so those are our picks. We didn't talk, no one picked anything on the Packers-Vikings game.
Yeah, interesting.

Speaker 1 I'm waiting to find out if Kirk's going to be wearing the white wedding ring or the black wedding ring because somebody looked up the stats and he's much, much better when he wears the white wedding ring.

Speaker 1 That's the one he puts on when he's really not going to cheat on his wife. Damn.
So, I think this game

Speaker 1 makes me nervous because it's a lose-lose for me. because

Speaker 1 I'm annoyed whenever the Vikings win and Kirk Cousins fans are like, you were wrong. And then obviously I'm annoyed anytime the Packers win.
So which one hurts less?

Speaker 1 Probably the Vikings winning and the Packers losing. So that means the Packers will win.
There it is. Spencer.

Speaker 1 If the Packers win, the better the Packers are in the regular season, the bigger the disappointment is going to be when they lose in the playoffs.

Speaker 1 So you almost want them to win out

Speaker 1 and then lose against an inferior team in the first round. Or Aaron Rodgers get injured.
I don't know. We don't root for injuries.
But he has been injured before.

Speaker 1 Was it Everson Griffin? Yep. He's been landed on a couple times.
Shane McClellan, bear for life.

Speaker 1 We don't root for injuries, but it would be a shame.

Speaker 1 Okay. Any other games that we missed? I think that's it.
I think we hit them all. We hit them all.
Good job, boys. We hit them all.

Speaker 1 Let's do Fantasy Jakes, and then we will wrap up with Firefest.

Speaker 1 What's up, guys? Hey, hey, hey.

Speaker 1 You are now looking live at Hank Lockwood my stardom

Speaker 1 is score games Yeah, yeah

Speaker 1 every day I just fucking want to fuck a scoregammy so hopefully this week

Speaker 1 score gammy

Speaker 1 numbies my sitem is the Los Angeles Lakers. Oh, they've destroyed their brand by changing their iconic name, the Staple Center, to the Crypto Center.

Speaker 1 It's just a terrible idea, and I just think that Staple Center was such a great and original name, and the fact that they changed it to a corporation is disgusting. The house that Kobe built.

Speaker 1 Bill Plaschke said it best when he said it feels like they're taking away a bit of his memories. Yes, I actually had that as my sitem as well.
Oh, no, that was your sitema. Yeah, that was your sitim.

Speaker 1 That was my sitim indeed. DJ Bill Plaschke.
That was my sitem indeed. My sleeper is DK Metcalf.
Oh. Recurring guest.
I think he's going to have a big week.

Speaker 1 He didn't get suspended, so he's going to pop off. He doesn't do that much sleeping.
Nope.

Speaker 1 Make sure you pronounce the end on that one. Sleeper.

Speaker 1 Lada S-E-X.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 With Satan. Multiple females.
Score a gami. P in Vs.
He is extremely straight. Birds.
On the field and off it. Birds and the B's, folks.

Speaker 1 Back after this.

Speaker 1 Mr. Cat, Mr.
Commentary. What are you going to do for the background music? I don't.
I was literally just thinking that. Maybe SEC on CBS?

Speaker 1 What's Syracuse's theme song? Yeah.

Speaker 6 You have a fight song.

Speaker 1 Syracuse fight song. Yeah.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Mr. Commentary.
So, alongside my co-hosts, Big Cat, Hank Lockwood, and Billy Football, this is Jake Marsh.

Speaker 1 This weekend, I'm starting B-E-E-R-S.

Speaker 1 Starting drinking some beers. That's right, some cold ones.
Responsibly. I had an eight-ounce beer.
I chugged it really quickly. and people are saying I am the best in the office.
Wow.

Speaker 1 I'm sitting the Texas Tech football announcing team. That's right.
That's my sit.

Speaker 1 They've been suspended by the Big 12 for naming the officials in their game against Iowa State and saying the commissioner wants them to win this game. Listen, I'm all for a bit of fun in the box.

Speaker 1 You'll never catch the Texas Tech meat judging announcers making a mistake like that. Those guys are pros.

Speaker 1 Pros.

Speaker 1 My sleeper is post-nasal drip. It's that time of year again.

Speaker 1 You party a little too hard, staying up late, playing sporkle quizzes about stadiums, and you wake up with the shakes chasing that dragon. The affrin is leaving your system, and you miss it.

Speaker 4 You need it.

Speaker 1 You need that F-U-C-K-I-N-G nasal drip spray. You need it.

Speaker 1 This has been Jake Marsh. Back to you, big cat.
Ah, thank you, Mr. Commenter.

Speaker 1 Both my sleeper and my sitim has been taken, but that's why I went to Syracuse Journalism School so I could think on the fly my stardom is flu shots everyone's talking about vaccines you gotta remember flu shots are also important enough with the influencers how about the influenzas my sitem was also the Texas tech announcers that was disgusting what they did I would never do that my name is Jake Marsh my sleeper is

Speaker 1 Jake give me a sleeper

Speaker 1 Give me a sleeper Nyquil, but not too much of it. One dose per every 24 hours.
Make sure you don't overdose overdose on NyQuil, folks.

Speaker 1 Make sure you get your flu shot and make sure you take your Advil and your Tylenol, but never together. And stay away from dogs.
Dogs, dogs, dogs. Bad dogs.
Zertec. Zertec.
Okay, Chibilly.

Speaker 1 What's up, guys? It's Jake Marsh here on the call. My stardom is EpiPens.
Yes, EpiPens. When you have allergic reactions, you need something quick to help you with an autoimmune disorder.

Speaker 1 EpiPens help you. Always got to carry your EpiPens.
I keep that mother F-U-C-K-I-N-G thing on me. My sitim is dust mites.
Dust mites. Oh, they're the worst.
They're everywhere.

Speaker 4 They're everywhere you sit.

Speaker 1 They're in pillows. And then you smell them and sometimes you're allergic to them and they make you sneeze.
Dust mites are my sitem. And my sleeper is John Rothstein's dreamy eyes.

Speaker 1 Have you ever looked inside of them?

Speaker 1 I actually really, really, really think that we should give John Rothstein a little more credit for his on-air persona and how presentable he is yeah he's agreed all right jake marsh that's a jake

Speaker 1 on john roste uh how do we do jake i don't think i sound like i do not talk like a robot like this no you don't no you don't so you did a bad job oh you think he talks like a robot no when he's denouncing i don't think he talks like a robot that would be bad but that would be very i welcome the criticism from billy i thought that's how it's supposed to sound you're not the first one to dislike it.

Speaker 1 You won't be the last. Jake, what do you want to do? I was Texas Tech, the guys that got suspended for this week.
I think

Speaker 6 when you're a homer, you have a lot more slack. They didn't curse.

Speaker 1 They didn't say anything disrespectful. There's criticism.

Speaker 1 Jake, did you partake? You were in Indiana. Did you partake in the Sloppy Seconds chant? No.
Okay. And that was my guy, Steph Smith.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that was disgusting. Yeah.
It was disgusting. You never do that.
Disgusting. Can't believe college kids would chant something.

Speaker 6 There was a New York Post article. saw that.
It was like,

Speaker 1 did you were you alive when JJ Reddick was playing? Like, this is what college kids do. Yeah, I don't over the line.
Yeah, over the line. Over the line.
All right. Let's do.

Speaker 1 Let's do Firefest. Before we get to Fire Fest, PFT, you got a word from two of our sponsors.

Speaker 1 uh so my fire fest i've been going to a chiropractor once a week uh due to my back injury it's been getting a lot better blew your back out blew my back out uh shout out to tom current in new york city he's been taking care of me but this tuesday i go on tuesdays this tuesday we had things move up we were doing the show early we had an interview early So I moved my chiropractor up early.

Speaker 1 We'll just run a little bit later. I usually like to have my, you know, coffee and bagel before I leave, do everything I got to do on this particular day.
I was running a little late.

Speaker 1 I took my coffee, my bagel on the train with me. I was kind of eating and going on the road.
So by the time I got to the chiropractor, we were doing all these stretches and moving up and down.

Speaker 1 And I had some gas, you know, morning, morning gas. I had to take my morning shit.
And I was obviously trying to hold it in.

Speaker 1 But then he's like, all right, you know, do this exercise where you're like bending down and bending forward, and I'm trying to hold it in.

Speaker 1 And I didn't even try and squeeze, squeeze one by because I wouldn't try and do that. But I was standing up and one just like came out.
Was it an audible one?

Speaker 1 It was audible-ish, but not audible enough to be like, I didn't say anything, but I was like,

Speaker 1 yeah, of course he knew. It was the impact.
Was it smelly? It was not smelly. Thank God.
That's good. That's good.
But it was, yeah, it was, it was, he definitely knew.

Speaker 1 I definitely probably should have said something. I've been thinking about it all week, how awkward it was.

Speaker 1 So that's my Fire Fest of the week.

Speaker 1 That's a brutal one. We need to get you doing squats to make your ass bigger because you can't hold in farts with that thing.
No, I can't.

Speaker 1 It's like trying to stop the tide with the ball. I'm on a mission for an ass, ass and a six-pack.
I'm constantly pursuing the pursuit about the six-pack. I'm in constant pursuit.
Me, too. Super cool.

Speaker 1 Yeah. All I need is an assistant.
LASIA.

Speaker 1 Soupy six-pack? That's my goal. Okay.
I like that.

Speaker 1 I'm not making any guarantees. Yeah.
But it'll be L.A., you know, beach. It'll be cool to just

Speaker 1 rip off the top and be sixed up. I love it.
I love it. Maybe four.

Speaker 1 PFT, your Fire Fest of the Week. My Fire Fest is: I woke up on Wednesday morning and my shoulder was dislocated.

Speaker 1 I dislocated it in my sleep. Well, didn't you get like very drunk after your last show Tuesday? Or is that? No, I mean,

Speaker 1 I stayed up until about 1 a.m. Very drunk.
That's late. No, I wasn't very drunk.
I came home, watched an episode of Seinfeld, went to sleep, and I slept, as far as I can tell, in a normal position.

Speaker 1 And I woke up and my shoulder was literally out of its socket. And I had to pull it back into its socket.
And it's felt like it's been halfway in for the last two days.

Speaker 1 And I don't really believe in going to a doctor unless it's an emergency. So I'm just kind of

Speaker 1 hoping it goes away. You want to go to my chiropractor guy? No, I said a doctor.
So I'm going to go to the door. His name's Doctor on Instagram.

Speaker 1 There you go. Dr.
Dre. Done.

Speaker 1 So, Dr. Pepper.
Great doctor. Doctor.
So I'm trying to figure out what it is I need to do because it is. I had surgery on the shoulder a while ago, but since then it's been

Speaker 1 for the most part more or less staying in bounds, but this is the first time it's been out middle-of-the-night injuries are just the worst. I've sprained my ankle in the middle of the night.

Speaker 1 You just wake up and you're like, how did this happen?

Speaker 1 What went down? I actually think that sleeping is the most dangerous thing that we do once we hit our mid-30s. Yeah, yeah.
You can get in a lot of trouble in there.

Speaker 1 All right. My fire fancy, I had to go to the dentist again, and I'm so sick of the dentist.
I can feel half my mouth right now. Fucking sucks.
Kids, go to the dentist.

Speaker 1 You guys haven't gone to the dentist, right? Not in a while. No.
Yeah, you guys are fucked. I brushed my frost.
Of course you do, Jake.

Speaker 1 Jake, do you have the magnet on your refrigerator? No. I'm finally caught up.
Like, this was my final, like, hey, Dan, you're a fucking moron. You didn't go to the dentist for five years.
I'm finally

Speaker 1 good.

Speaker 1 Now it's going again will be key, but I finally have caught up to all my past errors. I have a theory about dentists.
I think that sometimes you go there.

Speaker 1 If your mouth feels fine and you go to the dentist, sometimes they put little holes in your teeth and they're like, oh, I found a cavity.

Speaker 1 You're going to have to come back. Yeah,

Speaker 1 this is great. So I appreciate my dentist.
Got me fixed up, but goddamn, does it suck walking out of there and being like half a face? But you get the laughing gas.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but then when they take it off, it's like, I want that all the time. I just want to walk around with the nitrous going to my brain, have like holes in my brain, like the fish slot.

Speaker 1 All right, Billy.

Speaker 1 So been working a couple weeks on making these part of my take NFTs. Not the ones, the experimental ones.

Speaker 1 That's totally different. Yeah.
The experimental ones. Side cash.
Also, you did ruin the experiment. I didn't want to mention

Speaker 1 the show for the sake of the experiment. What was the experiment? So, your personal NFTs are being sold for more money than you thought they would

Speaker 1 as a bit.

Speaker 1 It's an experiment. Well, I was never going to mention them.
I really want to talk about these part of my take NFTs. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 someone figured out that you could right-click certain NFTs and save them like a file.

Speaker 1 So, there's a totally new uh marketplace of NFTs called Pirate NFTs. It's like a story that just came out where someone's just copying a bunch of NFTs.

Speaker 1 Wait, didn't we say this was gonna happen the whole time? You could just like screenshot these things?

Speaker 1 Screenshot, but now the crypto guys and the NFT guys are making fun of people who are making that joke, being like, Yo, that joke's played out. You can't just save it, that's not funny anymore.

Speaker 1 But then they did, but then you can save it, and then they're like, Yo, that's not a funny joke.

Speaker 1 Uh, so now it's just like a battle unsave that bro yeah the battle a battle between two of the least funny people online going back and forth at each other but you yourself can own one of these nfts the auction's starting soon and they can't be copied they cannot these ones cannot be copied god i i went it's gonna take a little longer stress test those but we're stress testing these ones are gonna be rock solid nfts okay uh that's this this has all the makings of someone figuring out how to steal it within like four seconds of it going live.

Speaker 1 We're only releasing three now, not four. Oh, three fourth was going to get stolen? Yeah.
Okay. Okay, so these are unstealable.
These are unstealable. Don't even try it, folks.
You cannot steal these.

Speaker 1 High security. Don't try it.
I want to let you guys know, I had a great opportunity on Tuesday night. I got to meet Billy's mom.
Oh, wow.

Speaker 1 She was a lovely lady.

Speaker 1 It was very interesting, though, because she let me in on a little bit of insight into Billy's childhood. Uh-oh.
Billy's always been excellent at drawing frogs, apparently.

Speaker 1 It was his favorite thing to do since he was a child. And he was known throughout his entire town as having the best proportions on all the frogs that were drawn.

Speaker 1 He had the proportions down since he was a child. So

Speaker 1 this is something that Billy's been working on for a long time. There's been blood, sweat, and tears that have gone into these NFTs.

Speaker 1 I honestly, some of my art in elementary school was featured in a Discovery Channel

Speaker 1 museum thing.

Speaker 1 It's kind of cool. She told me the list of

Speaker 1 the list of reptiles and amphibians that Billy's had in his house growing up. Did you you ever taken your kid to the Discovery Channel Museum?

Speaker 1 I'll show you

Speaker 1 guys absolutely like a

Speaker 1 certificate.

Speaker 1 Great job. We're going to feature this on a channel museum.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I don't remember the specifics. I just have the plaque and they took it.
So it says featured on the Discovery Channel and your mom's signature on the bottom.

Speaker 1 It was something different. I'll find the plaque.
I actually

Speaker 1 had multiple teeth be captured by the tooth fairy when I was a kid. I have the plaque for that.

Speaker 4 Wow.

Speaker 1 Your plaque press frames. Pretty heat.
In the quarters. Yeah, well, Santa Claus wrote me a letter back personally.
Whoa. Was it framed?

Speaker 1 Were your plaques framed? Yeah, all of them are framed. Mine's framed.
Mine had two frames on it. Yep.
Was yours? Mine had frame and saran wrap. So it's extra framed.

Speaker 1 Huh. All right, Jake.

Speaker 6 Yeah, so we had a bench mob live show in Bloomington last night. We had some QA's going around for the fans.
And some guy asked me, it wasn't just basketball, we were like barstool, anything.

Speaker 6 And he's like, you know, the song Radio Active. And I was excited because

Speaker 1 I usually don't.

Speaker 6 Last time. You're not a music guy.
I thought it was a Hootie and the Blowfish part two. And they were just trying to stump me.
So I'm like, yeah, Imagine Dragons. Let's go.

Speaker 1 I knew it.

Speaker 6 And then.

Speaker 1 Imagine dragging these nuts across your face. Yep.
Wow.

Speaker 1 I also saw you chug alcohol. PFC talked about it.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 6 Yeah. It was part of a game.
It's called Sink the Biz at Nick's. You pour a drink into a bucket, and if it sinks, you have to drink it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I know, but that's still illegal. I'm 21 years old.
Was that responsible? Aren't you working? It was Coors Light, you were on the clock, right?

Speaker 1 They were they offered.

Speaker 1 If you were a Duke player, you'd get behind the wheel of a car.

Speaker 1 Well, no, yeah, I mean, that's true.

Speaker 6 No, no, penalties for them so far.

Speaker 1 Oh, no way. You weren't wearing any of our merch, though, right? We didn't want to not part of my take.
Wait, was it during a bench mob podcast?

Speaker 6 Live show.

Speaker 1 I blame Rico, actually. Yeah, Rico should have known better.

Speaker 1 Rico was the elder. He was the one, really, the capo of the team there.
Capo de Capo. Capo de Capo.
Technically, he's actually

Speaker 1 the youngest. Who? Based on seniority.
That's true. He just started a week ago.

Speaker 6 Well, I didn't, it was at the very end of the show. I feel like it was okay.

Speaker 1 I was offer drinks beforehand. I got text messages saying Jake is a fucked up mess right now.
He's puking in the alley. That was me.
Jake, so have you always been just an elite chugger?

Speaker 1 Because it seems like something that you probably have a lot of practice at. I'm more of a beer pong guy.
Yeah. Is it hot here? Yeah.
Yeah. All right.
Let's do numbers. Six, nine.

Speaker 1 That was one of those ones where I was like, I don't know if I'm hot.

Speaker 1 85. 88.
46 and 23 are out. I'm going 97.

Speaker 1 Three.

Speaker 6 Third time.

Speaker 1 Contrary to popular belief, goldfish actually do have memories. Oh.
But it's just six seconds, right? No, it's actually a little longer. How long? Seven?

Speaker 1 You can train them to do tricks, and they'll actually remember how to do the tricks. Really? So Larry knows when it's time for him to make his picks? Exactly.

Speaker 1 Could you train them to fucking kill themselves because they suck at gambling? They do that themselves. Okay.

Speaker 1 Love you guys.

Speaker 1 Just a young girl, with a quick view. I was upside, wanna let it lose.
I was dreaming of bigger things.

Speaker 1 Wanna leave my whole life to now.

Speaker 1 Not a gift,

Speaker 1 not a thunder.
