Speaker 3 and then we'll take it higher. Pardon my take, presented by Barcelona Sports.

Speaker 3 Welcome to part of my take, presented by CoorsLight, CoorsLight.com/slash take. Go there right now.
Today is Monday, November 1st,

Speaker 3 week 8.

Speaker 3 What?

Speaker 3 What? What?

Speaker 3 What?

Speaker 3 We start in Western New York where Big Gaby Davis cried his way into the end zone to give the Bills a lead in the third quarter. Tua Agro Cragrivola was playing with guts.

Speaker 3 Toot, toot, toot toot, two, you have it, guts. Jalen waddle baby, waddle baby, waddle baby.

Speaker 3 Waddle was trying to back it up, but the bills gobble baby, gobble baby, gobble baby, gobbled it up, and the dolphins are

Speaker 3 lose again, and no one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills. Bills, 26, Dolphins, 11, I feel a little drunk, Teege.

Speaker 3 Little those da-da-da-da, you know,

Speaker 3 give you that nice pop. Yeah, that pop.
And a spooky showdown in Cleveland. Odell Beckham is going to have the monster rash for all the shit he's going to be taking.

Speaker 3 Pat Air Freiermuth reheated the Pittsburgh offense after Chris Boswell, New Mexico, crash-landed and letting an unidentified flying object loose, only to disappear for the rest of the game.

Speaker 3 Caleb Presley Harvin looked like he had one too many ice cream Sunday conversations to be kicking the ball effectively.

Speaker 3 And the Steelers are back on track with TJ WHAP and the Steel Curtain leading the way. The Steelers 15.
The Browns, 10.

Speaker 3 In Indianapolis, where Michael Myers Pittman and Jack O'Lantern Doyle carved the Titans defense early, Derek O. Henry didn't earn his 100 grand but was able to help the Titans late.

Speaker 3 Looks like his bout of food poisoning is over as AJ is no longer brown with the sickness. And after a wild last minute of regulation, I ate too much candy bullock sends the Titans home with a win.

Speaker 3 Titans 34.

Speaker 3 The Colts 31. Whoop, what?

Speaker 3 Wha Mark Berry White had the Meadowland singing. You're the one that I need.
While throwing for 400 yards for the first time since Vavava Vaveni and the Jets.

Speaker 3 Joe Twixon and Jamaris Barr Chase, trick-or-treated for three touchdowns. Tyler Lara Croft dressed up as a Tomb Raider and Rob the Bengals are thinking they're for real with a late touchdown.

Speaker 3 You don't make friends with Sala, but you can win a big game now and again as the Jets beat the Cinnamon Cinnati Bengals 31 to

Speaker 3 more than 31.

Speaker 3 I forgot to write the score there.

Speaker 3 34. 34-34.

Speaker 3 I just checked my stats.

Speaker 3 34.

Speaker 3 Breaking news: the Jets win 34-31. Huh? In the windy city, where Jimmy Hoffa Garoppolo came back from the dead to lead the Irishman Kyle Shanahan to a huge win.

Speaker 3 Chris Tabor Metrics was coaching the Bears in the absence of Matt Nagy, who we hope takes as much time as he needs to recover from COVID. Your health comes first, yes, absolutely.

Speaker 3 Khalil Herbert Hoover can't get the Bears out of the Great Depression as Chicago fans turn to Roosevelt to get out of town.

Speaker 3 Elijah Mitchell Trubisky was the MVP at Soldier Field on Sunday, and that hurts, Teach. It really, really hurts.
Niners 33, Bears 22.

Speaker 3 And sticking in the NFC Norris, where a Boston Harbor Scott had a TD party, crime Jordan Howard said the ends justify the memes as he scored twice.

Speaker 3 The game was well out of hand when the Eagles poured it on as Darius scooped up a fumble and he could go all the sleigh with a scoop and score.

Speaker 3 Lions fans, if you're thinking about Jared Goff and yourself, don't David blow your brains out just yet. Things can always get worse.
The Eagles 44. The Lions 6.

Speaker 3 Down in Houston where Alexandra Cooper Cuff made the Texans call him daddy, dropping the voodoo clam on their face.

Speaker 3 Houston tried to give the Rams some Rex Burkhead, but they ended up glucking themselves to death because man, do they suck.

Speaker 3 Lawsuit man Deshaun Deshaun Watson is technically still on the team as the franchise waits in limbo for a trade. Rams 38, Texans 22.

Speaker 3 And we go out west to Los Angeles where Justin Purvert was leaving too many balls exposed. Speaking of perverts, Matthew Judon Vito had his eyes looking in every direction on Sunday.

Speaker 3 Adriana Phillips found the ball like Cosette found warmth under Christopher's ass, talking to the FBI and flipping the field twice.

Speaker 3 Jagged little Bill Belichick has one hand in his pocket, and the other is wasting a timeout. The Patriots, 27.
The San Diego Superchargers, 24.

Speaker 3 Standing on a corner, Jameis Winston down in Nola. Such a sad sight to see.

Speaker 3 It's the goat, my lord, and his knee feels sore. Dancing with an injury.

Speaker 3 But Simmian's well takes some innocent answer.

Speaker 3 Can we get Jameis Winston

Speaker 3 some freaking sales?

Speaker 3 The Saints go marching in a huge win.

Speaker 8 Whether I'm hosting game day at my place or taking my talents to the tailgate, Boar's Head is my go-to for a spread that's as exciting as the game itself. Their platters are a hit every time.

Speaker 8 They've got everything you need to keep your guests coming back for more. And if you want to take it up a notch, grab a few dips.

Speaker 8 My personal favorite, the Blazing Buffalo Chicken, Hummus, or even one of their charcuterie collections for game-changing flavor boarshead helps me elevate my entertaining every time whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration to upgrade your spread visit your local boarshead deli for platter options or build your own to make it perfect for your crowd boarshead committed to craft since 1905 okay we'll start uh where we always start summer night football fuck kirk cousins we are idiots on this podcast because we all bet on kirk cousins tonight never again never again I say we try to be nice sometimes, big cat, because it feels like we do go out of our way to bash Kirk Cousins, which hand up, I'm extremely guilty of.

Speaker 3 And it turns out it's for good reason. We were right to bash Kirk Cousins.
I just, and it's more credit to the Cowboys because with Dak Prescott out, we saw what it looked like last year.

Speaker 3 It wasn't this this year. Cooper Rush was more than capable of like keeping that offense going.
I just,

Speaker 3 and a lot of people are saying it's Mike Zimmer. And, you know, I get the usual

Speaker 3 clap back, which I'm sure you get as well, PFT, where it's like, well, you would take Kirk Cousins on the Bears. Like, well, first of all, no, I don't want him on the Bears.

Speaker 3 But also, it's not a rule that just because the Bears don't have quarterbacks, I can't criticize other quarterbacks. Kirk Cousins,

Speaker 3 he just loves to check the ball down.

Speaker 3 And I know people are going to say it's Mike Zimmer. It's this, it's that.
I just don't get it. I don't get it.
I watched them. It's so frustrating.

Speaker 3 What were they? One for 13 on one for 13 on third down tonight. That has to be on the quarterback at some point.
It's pretty bad. It's pretty bad when you're at 1 for 13 levels.

Speaker 3 And I have had him on my team. And trust me, this is why I'm telling you, you don't want him on your team.
I dealt with it for a while.

Speaker 3 I don't want him back, especially now when he's making so much money. Like, they can't.

Speaker 3 You're actually spending so much money on Kirk Cousins that it is making the rest of your team actively worse.

Speaker 3 And Mike Zimmer has had problems, and the Cowboys, or sorry, the Vikings should have won that game. Like, they should have found a way to win that game.
And so it's not all on Kirk Cousins.

Speaker 3 I'm just frustrated with Kirk Cousins because when I'm watching them and they have 40 seconds left and no timeouts, and he's checking it down and checking it down, it's like, dude, what the fuck is going on?

Speaker 7 That's the best way to put it.

Speaker 3 He's not a bad quarterback, but he is one of the most frustrating quarterbacks because he shows you how good he can be at times. Correct.

Speaker 3 And then he just reverts back to being completely Kirk Cousins. We should give the Cowboys credit.

Speaker 3 I think what tonight proved is that the Cowboys are good enough to overcome an injury to anyone on the team, except for maybe Kellen Moore. They're really fucking good.
Yeah. They're really good.

Speaker 3 And like, that was a that's a game that like you bring in your backup. He's, he's a ginger.

Speaker 3 Gee words. I was just going to say it.
We all were thinking it. You're thinking like, who is this guy, Cooper Rush? I know him from Maxion, Fire Up Chips.
And they, they were the better team.

Speaker 3 They were the better team. And I, I do think Mike Zimmer has lost a little bit of his shine, and people are very frustrated with him.

Speaker 3 And I understand why, because it does feel like the Vikings, like between Dalvin Cook, Justin Jefferson, and Adam Thielen, like you look at the Vikings team, you're like, they should be good.

Speaker 3 They should score more than 16 points. Yeah, I do like Cooper Rush, though.
Turns out that I think just the name Cooper Rush, it implies good backup quarterback.

Speaker 3 That's a perfect backup quarterback name. It's like this guy is good enough to throw for three touchdowns one time a year and then bad enough to throw for four interceptions in another game.
Yes.

Speaker 3 Cooper Rush is a great backup quarterback name.

Speaker 3 Another fun stat about him is the Cooper Rush to Amari Cooper touchdown, the first in NFL history where the passer's first name and receiver's last name are an exact match. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Which is, that's weird because I would have thought there would have been

Speaker 3 a Gami. Let's go.
You didn't get your Gami earlier on

Speaker 3 that.

Speaker 3 But I would have thought that there would have been a Michael, like maybe Christine Michael. Yeah.
Could have had a touchdown pass from somebody named Michael. I don't know.

Speaker 3 There's nobody with a last name Matt, so that takes out like three-quarters of the quarterbacks in the NFL. Yeah.
But yeah, weird stat. I do.

Speaker 3 That's a weird stat. You know what? Kirk Cousins is 8-17 in primetime games for his career.
That's weird. That's a very weird stat.
Can't be right there on the Vikings.

Speaker 3 Fucking stupid. I have a prediction.
Yeah. I think tomorrow we're going to find out that this was a watermelon game.
Oh. That's the only thing I can think of how we got this so wrong.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 I mean, we just got it wrong because we watched the Cowboys without Dak last year, and it was a disaster. And Cooper Rush is good.
Like, he was more than competent tonight. They moved the ball well.

Speaker 3 I don't know.

Speaker 3 Bad, bad, bad times.

Speaker 3 I'm falling apart. Also, the Braves lost.
That sucked. I was thinking the Braves are going to win the World Series tonight.
We're going to celebrate that.

Speaker 3 So, Tuesday night.

Speaker 3 Let's go, Braves. Congratulations to the Atlanta Braves for winning the World Series on Tuesday night.
Your job. As first reported by Part of My Take.
Here we go. Let's go, Braves.

Speaker 3 This will be so tragic.

Speaker 9 Let's just do the intro for Tuesday now.

Speaker 3 Just like, but hey, save it. Don't put this on

Speaker 3 Monday's show. Put this on Wednesday show.
Welcome to Part of My Take, presented by Coors Light. Today is Wednesday, November 3rd, and the Atlanta Braves are World Series champions.
Let's go, Braves!

Speaker 3 Chomp, Chomp. Love it.
Love it. Congratulations to the city of Atlanta.
It's been a long wait for you guys. I'm rooting for them, very favorite.

Speaker 3 I want the Braves to win, too. They deserve this, Braves.
You're a fun team. They got it.
Anyone but that.

Speaker 3 They want it. Yeah, enjoy it.
They want it. Enjoy it.
Enjoy it. Have fun.
And if you didn't want to win that on Sunday night, anyways. You don't want to take a Monday off from work.
The celebration.

Speaker 3 Everyone's talking about football. Not talking about the Braves.
Win it on Tuesday. Win on Tuesday.
We talk about on Wednesday. You get a full calendar day celebrating your victory.

Speaker 3 Your world champion. You can do the show with it.
Absolutely off the top of the show.

Speaker 3 And then you can get drunk on Tuesday night and take a Wednesday off work, which is way cooler than taking a Monday off. And then, guess what? The calendar line is.

Speaker 9 This is what you're listening to on Wednesday.

Speaker 3 You know what? Hank also released a statement saying

Speaker 3 you have been given permission from part of my take to take the day off work on Wednesday to celebrate your Atlanta Braves World Series Championship. And then, guess what?

Speaker 3 The calendar lines up where now you get to have the World Series parade on a weekend. Yeah.
So everyone can go. Let's go, Atlanta.

Speaker 3 They're going to do it. They'll be fine.
Okay, let's get to the rest of Sunday's slate. We're going to start with Steelers, Browns.
Steelers, 15, Browns, 10.

Speaker 3 I feel very bad for Browns fans.

Speaker 3 I'm going to start with that because the two teams, as we thought this season, the Browns were trending up, the Steelers were trending down, and then Ben Rothsberger comes in your backyard, and maybe not a throwback performance because he wasn't like lighting the world on fire, but he did just enough, including the slowest two-point conversion that never counted, which I loved.

Speaker 3 They actually called it QB draw for Ben Rothelsberger.

Speaker 3 But if you're a Browns fan, this is the year that you were supposed, like, you did it last year in the playoffs, and this is the year you're supposed to be able to beat the Steelers and not have to worry about the Steelers, and you're on to bigger things.

Speaker 3 And oh, yeah, they come here, and then they kick your ass, and they shut down your run game, and their defense wins the day, and the Steelers go and win a big game in Cleveland. Yeah, it was tough.

Speaker 3 It's tough if you're a Cleveland Browns fan right now, because you definitely thought, like, four weeks ago, you saw this game, and you're like, we're going to win this game on Halloween.

Speaker 3 I'm going to get dressed up in my favorite Cleveland costume. I'm going to go to First Energy, and we're going to get drunk as fuck and stomp the Steelers by 40 points.

Speaker 3 We're going to drink out of a pumpkin in the muni lot. We're going to smash some shit.
You're going to have an awesome time. Baker Mayfield's going to be great.
The running game's going to be great.

Speaker 3 And then none of that happens. You got pre-drunk when you saw this Steelers game on the schedule once they started stinking like shit.

Speaker 3 And you started pre-gaming back at the beginning of October in preparation for this game. And the Steelers, I don't actually think that the Steelers really look good today at all.

Speaker 3 Well, their defense looks good. Their defense is good.

Speaker 3 TJ Watt

Speaker 3 is a main difference like when tj watt is healthy and he's playing the defense is very good but offensively they didn't look great they had just enough they did they did enough to win right you know you don't apologize for a victory in the national football league big cat they basically the the steelers from a steelers perspective you're actually even though it wasn't pretty i don't think they're built to win pretty games at this point but najee harris looks awesome their offensive line's starting to look better and big ben you're like okay he is what we have i think you're happy just the fact that big ben carried out that quarterback draw.

Speaker 3 Yes. Because in your mind, you're probably like, well, Big Ben doesn't want to run the ball up the middle.
He doesn't want to play action, much less keep the ball for himself. So Big Ben definitely,

Speaker 3 he conserves his energy. To put it that way.
He's very mindful. He knows that he's only got a set amount of battery left in his human body that he can expend.

Speaker 3 So he's taking every chance that he can to just kind of, he takes it easy back there sometimes.

Speaker 3 But the fact he was willing to do the slowest quarterback sneak quarterback draw, like the old man in squid game doing red light, green light, It was exactly what's what he looked like diving forward.

Speaker 3 And he made it, which was great. But it was a hold.
But it was so, so much fun to go. It was nice to watch.
And, I mean, the all-time head-scratching moment was Mike Tomlin's field goal. Yeah.

Speaker 3 The fake field goal. Maybe weirder, the fact that he set it up by running the ball in third and 17.
Yep. And then he was going to fake a field goal.

Speaker 3 Chris Boswell almost died. Chris Boswell got lit up.
I thought we were protecting quarterbacks in this league. I don't know.
It looked like helmet-to-helmet contact with me.

Speaker 3 But this is one where you're like, maybe it's not a good idea that the Steelers treat their coaches so well and

Speaker 3 make them know that their job security is second only to Supreme Court justices because a normal coach who

Speaker 3 actually a normal coach would never call that play because they're like, this is the kind of play that could get me fired if we lose this guy.

Speaker 3 So it was an incredible call because it was like, it was one of those, it's never a good thing when a fake gets called and your instant reaction is, was the snap bad?

Speaker 3 Because there's no way that was actually the call there. But no, it was the call there.
Chris Boswell got lit up.

Speaker 3 He actually posted on Instagram that he decided to go to as a quarterback for Halloween, and he's okay.

Speaker 3 But it also then created like a hilarious set of circumstances for them where Presley Harvin, their punter, who is six feet tall, 255 pounds, and there's no way he's 255 pounds. He's like 270 pounds.

Speaker 3 His face, when he realized that he was going to have to kick, that was such a relatable, like, oh,

Speaker 3 I shouldn't have had the donuts this morning. I should have done a few more push-ups in my hotel room.
I should have maybe, I should have maybe not gotten late night Taco Bell on Thursday night.

Speaker 3 Like he was like, uh-oh,

Speaker 3 this is me now. And his kickoff,

Speaker 3 I still don't understand how a punter who has an incredible leg, who can do such a like...

Speaker 3 unique has a unique skill set then kicks the ball off he kicked it like 30 yards straight out of bounds it was bad and they didn't they didn't try a field goal the rest of the game or an extra point because they're like, this guy,

Speaker 3 he can't do this. Yeah, we're just not going to kick at all.
And he, yeah, you're right. Like, a putter, it is a different skill set.

Speaker 3 You're not always going to be great at kicking a ball, but you should still be able to kick a football more than 30 yards off of a T. Right.
That's a pretty easy thing to do.

Speaker 3 And when he was warming up, I was sitting next to Jeff D.

Speaker 3 Lowe in the corner watching this game, and it looked like when he was doing practice kicks on the net that they have on the sideline, it looked like he was just going to whiff on some of them, like very, very uncomfortable.

Speaker 3 So from that point forward, the Steelers were just like, okay, we don't have a kicker right now.

Speaker 3 Let's just act like, you know, every single time on fourth down, we're not even going to try a field goal. Right.
And it led to chaos at the end. It's always so funny when that happens.

Speaker 3 It's not only that, but then you get the backup holder in the game. And I don't know who the backup holder on that Steelers team is.
Everything falls apart.

Speaker 3 And you just sit there and you're like, what is going on right now?

Speaker 9 Also, the fact that you have a punter that's never kicked in college or high school.

Speaker 9 They say he never did. How are you a punter and you never even kicked a field goal?

Speaker 3 Or attempted.

Speaker 3 it's like playing frisbee golf as opposed to playing golf growing up you probably one foot golf one one yeah sorry i mean uh club golf golf club golf and ball golf ball golf and golf growing up if you play ball golf growing up doesn't mean that you're a good golf thrower right but it does mean that you should know where a fairway is right right but it still is like that guy i felt so bad for him because he is he's large he's larger he's he's a i actually kind of appreciate when football players are like when when the special teams units whether it be be a punter or a kicker and we'll get to fat randy they're like you know i'm a i'm a football player i'm gonna look like a football player yeah i like to put on masks like a football player i like that too i i would much rather have a fat punter than a jack punter right i don't trust jack punters at all don't trust them and we saw another one on the other side the scottish hammer who still has a job because his nickname is the scottish hammer yeah and he's got an accent and people like him and he posts intimidating instagram workout videos you don't want your punter falling into that trap you want your punter out of shape because the only thing that they do all day is they drop a ball and then they kick it.

Speaker 3 Right.

Speaker 3 You shouldn't be jacked. If you're jacked when you're a punter, it tells me that you spend a lot, way too much time doing things that aren't punting.
Yes, agreed.

Speaker 3 But the Steelers, like that, this was a huge, huge win for the Steelers. I don't know where the Browns go from here because they have a million injuries.

Speaker 3 And like that, you know, every team, every fan base will say, well, our team's the most injured. I think the Browns might have the record for that this year.

Speaker 3 I think they might be able to claim they're the most injured team.

Speaker 3 but it just, like, I was looking at their schedule. They have to play at the Bengals next.
Then they play at the Patriots, who all of a sudden are like all the way back.

Speaker 3 They get a game against the Lions, which should be a win. And then the weirdest schedule quirk ever, they play the Ravens, they have a bye week, and then they play the Ravens again.
I love that.

Speaker 3 It's bizarre. I like that.

Speaker 3 These two teams really don't like each other, City. I think that the Ravens might actually challenge the Browns for the most injured team.
That's true. But they're getting healthy.

Speaker 3 But that was also preseason, so it doesn't count as much. They got injured at the right time.
Right, exactly. They got injured in August, which makes it a little bit easier.

Speaker 3 I have a question about Baker Mayfield, and maybe it's showing my ignorance about the Browns' captain situation, because I know last year they didn't have team captains. Right.

Speaker 3 Like maybe they said before the game, okay, you're going out, you're calling the coin flip out at midfield. But why isn't Baker Mayfield a captain of the team? Should we ding him for that?

Speaker 3 That's a good question. You know what?

Speaker 3 I'm in a mood to ding people today. Wait, who are their captains? I don't know if they have captains.
They do it like game by game? Yeah, I don't think that anyone gets to wear the C on their chest.

Speaker 3 Interesting. I think, personally, that it is a ding on Baker that he hasn't been named a full-time captain.
And listen, we're Baker guys. Of course.

Speaker 3 But yeah,

Speaker 3 I feel bad for Browns fans because it does feel like this was, and I, it's, I can relate to it because it feels very similar to like the Bears-Packers feel of like, oh, we have a team this year that can beat them.

Speaker 3 And then you have the big, bad Steelers come into your backyard and beat you, and they don't even look good doing it. That's the the worst part.

Speaker 3 It's not like the Steelers won and like ran up the score and it's like, hey, we wouldn't have won this game a million different, you played a hundred times, we lose a hundred times.

Speaker 3 No, that was a winnable game that the Steelers just did enough and it's almost like I know it's very cliche to sound, but I feel like you can just say like, oh, that was a Steelers organization win.

Speaker 3 They're just consistent. They just win those type of games where it's like, they're not that good.
They have a lot of holes, but they find a way to win.

Speaker 3 That was a culture win for the city of Pittsburgh.

Speaker 3 My common culture not not just the football team i would say all of pittsburgh yes this win belongs to you guys agree did you see some of the scenes out of the muni lot by the way unbelievable i would imagine that this game it's on halloween it's against your biggest rival you think that you've got a great team the money spent on the tailgate scene yep for cleveland is probably the most money per capita spent on any team this year so far in a loss.

Speaker 3 Yes. Like the most money wasted on this.
There was one guy that had a giant, I don't know if it was paper-mâché.

Speaker 3 it looked like it was like a glass sculpture, like a like a chaluley or whatever, like glass-blown custom thing, where it was a Pittsburgh Steelers player with a helmet with a giant penis going into his mouth.

Speaker 3 And they were on two separate sticks, so you could take the dick out and then put it back. The attention to detail was just phenomenal.

Speaker 3 The insults, yeah, the insult detail that they, like, some guy was sitting in his garage all week being like, I'm going to make this. We're going to go drink out of this.
All year.

Speaker 3 And we're going to make fun of the Steelers on Halloween. This was something that he, he, when the schedule came out, he pre-ordered this for the Halloween game.

Speaker 3 And he's like, okay, this is going to be perfect. Okay, I need actually two more veins in the penis.
Yes. If you could.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it was good for Browns fans for show up, have a good time, but it's going to be a tough one to get over. Yeah, it's very, very tough to get over.

Speaker 3 I really like, I feel for Browns fans today because I don't. Their schedule is not easy.

Speaker 3 And when you look at the standings and like what's going on in the AFC, the AFC, like there are some teams that are starting to separate, and especially in their own division where the afc north i actually we haven't done this yet because everyone says the nfc west is the best division could it be the afc north could it be yeah yeah because like right now i think that without it has to be without russ and the niners you know are below 500 the afc north has four teams that are all they're at least none of there's no easy outs you know what i mean there's no team there's no jaguars or jets or the jets won today but like there's the lions there's no team that you can be like oh this team will get a win from from them.

Speaker 3 Yeah, they're all really good.

Speaker 3 The Bengals, I would say that the Bengals are still probably the best team in that division. We can talk about them in a little bit.
Yeah, I mean, it's tough to say today.

Speaker 3 But the convo you have to have is ranked the quarterbacks in the AFC North. Yes.
Because I think. You love doing this.
I love it. I love it.
I love it. I'm going to go.

Speaker 3 And it changes literally every week. It's like, it's number one.
Actually, your favorite thing to say, I picked this up today, and I actually love that you do this, and I want you to keep doing it.

Speaker 3 And I think you said it like four or five times. Like, Tom Brady gets that call.
Yeah, he does. He does.
He said it so many times today.

Speaker 3 I was loving it every time. I said it when Boswell got hit.
It plays out.

Speaker 3 When he got the helmet to helmet, their kicker. I was like, if that kicker was Tom Brady, they would have called that.
Tom Brady gets that call. You just kept on saying it.

Speaker 3 I was just like, yeah, you know what? You're right. I am right.
You're right. Tom Brady gets every call.
Yeah. So, wait, yeah, ranking the quarterbacks.
Okay. All right.

Speaker 3 This week, I'm going to go Lamar number one. Okay.
On a bye week. He's healthy.
Probably no diarrhea right now. Yep.
Number two, I'm going to go, I'm going to go Ben. I'm going to go Ben.

Speaker 3 Recency bias. I like that.
Then three, I'm going Joe Burrow. He still has the potential to get back to number one.
Yep. And then what? I mean, that's our guy, but yep.
Go ahead.

Speaker 3 And then Baker Mayfield, as of today. Where's Chris Boswell? Chris Boswell is he's tied.
He's tied with Baker. Neither one are capped for all four.

Speaker 3 Okay, are we doing ranking them right now, or are we doing starting a franchise? Oh, that's a different conversation. Oh, wait, no, now let's do starting a franchise.
All right, Joe Burrow one.

Speaker 3 Ooh, okay. I'm going to take

Speaker 3 Lamar two. I'll go Lamar one, Joe Burrow two.
What? You don't like her?

Speaker 3 I think Joe Burrow is going to be a better person.

Speaker 9 Lamar's got a better resume.

Speaker 3 He does, because I think Joe Burrow's going to be a better passer. But remember, don't forget, Big Cat, Lamar is younger than Joe Burrow.
That's true. People forget that.

Speaker 9 And Lamar is an MVP.

Speaker 3 Yeah, he won the MVP. Okay.
Oh, he's a very good quarterback. Lamar, Joe Burrow, Baker, Boswell, Rothlessberger.
That's fair. Yeah, okay.
James Haskins. Actually, Justin Tucker gets that call, too.

Speaker 3 Justin Tucker goes ahead of Big Ben and Boswell. Yeah, so, yeah, the NFC North, I don't know why.

Speaker 3 It's just everyone loves to, I think it's just the fan bases because you have the guy who's old, who's won two Super Bowls, and then the other three kind of are rotating up-and-comers that you can basically dunk on Ben with.

Speaker 3 I would say the AFC North is the most entertaining division to observe as an outsider. Yes.

Speaker 3 With all the different rivalries that they have going back and forth and the different players and the up-and-coming Bengals, they're a fun team, or they're a fun division to just like look at.

Speaker 3 Yes, absolutely. Good colors, good rivalries.
Yeah, good history.

Speaker 3 All right,

Speaker 3 let's stay with the NFC North.

Speaker 3 AFC. AFC North, good call.
AFC North. And Billy, your Jets, 34-31.
The Jets win the shocker of the day, I would say, as 11-point underdogs. Mike White.

Speaker 3 Is there a quarterback controversy in New York? Because Mike White, just let me throw out his stats. He did throw a couple interceptions.

Speaker 3 They were tip balls, which is unfair because Zach Wilson, if he throws them and they're tipped, we're just like, oh yeah, that was a Zach Wilson, Mr. INT.

Speaker 3 Either way, Mike White, 37 for 45, 405 yards, three touchdowns, first quarterback for the Jets to throw for 400 or more yards since Vinnie Testaverdi. Also, first quarterback other than Cam Newton

Speaker 3 since 1950 to throw 400 yards in his first start in the NFL. Which is crazy to think that it's been 20 years in this NFL.

Speaker 3 And what they've done in the passing game, it's been 20 years since a team has thrown for 400 yards. But Mike White, I don't think it's like a Wally Pipp situation.

Speaker 3 It'd be fun to talk about and let's have the conversation. But I think that

Speaker 3 this will be known as the Mike White game. Well,

Speaker 3 here's all I'll say. Zach Wilson's obviously the future.

Speaker 3 Mike White is the present. The Jets wide receivers had an incredible game.
They were making catches left and right for Mike White.

Speaker 3 Maybe he's got the ear in the room a little bit more? I don't know. Based on

Speaker 3 Zach Wilson's mom, you would think that they'd be catching everything from him. Yes, with the see-through masks.

Speaker 3 But, Billy, go off. Mike White.
We gave you a lot to think about. Mike White, is he the future?

Speaker 6 He is the present. Zach Wilson is the future.
What I think is going to happen is now that they have more tape on Mike White, I think he's not going to have as easy of a time to do what he did today.

Speaker 6 But I think today was a great example of what the Jets could be consistently going forward.

Speaker 3 With Mike White?

Speaker 6 With a competent quarterback at the helm because the defense was amazing and the offense was able to

Speaker 6 keep the defense on the field for a good amount of time as opposed to like being on the field for most of the time in the other games.

Speaker 3 But Billy, if your quarterback goes out there, throws for 400 yards, how many touchdowns? 400 yards,

Speaker 3 three touchdowns, 400 yards, and you win, how are you going to stop? How are you going to change horses moving? No, no, no, no, we're not here.

Speaker 3 So everything's working right now. Zach Wilson's out for a while.

Speaker 6 I say, I think if Mike White played for the rest of the season, started every game, that'd be huge. And it would give time for Zach Wilson to sort of learn and become a good quarterback.

Speaker 3 What we say is the Patrick Mahomes model. Yeah,

Speaker 3 and then he turns into Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 6 Because realistically, he should have never been starting the first game anyway. They were trying to sell jerseys.
They were trying to get people interested in the team.

Speaker 6 It should have been Mike White.

Speaker 3 Well, it should have been... like a Joe Flacco, a veteran quarterback

Speaker 6 to just ease him in.

Speaker 6 And that's why we got those crazy games where Zach Wilson just got totally got exposed.

Speaker 3 I think it's funny, though, that the Jets kind of played to the level of their opponent, but in the reverse way. Like, if they're playing a really good team at home, they can beat them.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 So until today, going into today, in fact, going into this afternoon, the Jets were the only AFC East team to beat an opponent that had a winning record. Oh, wow.
Until the Patriots did

Speaker 3 against the Chargers, and they beaten two of them. 2-0, yeah.

Speaker 6 But Zach Wilson had a much more conservative play calling style when he was on their center. Today, they just opened it all up.

Speaker 6 the play calling was much more aggressive this week.

Speaker 3 I think that Mike White might be the guy. I think he's the present and the future.
Hank's walking out. Hank hurt his back very badly.
Actually,

Speaker 3 the way Hank put it was he got his back blown out.

Speaker 3 He came in and said that. I don't know where he's going right now, but I'm nervous about him because he might not be able to get back in here.

Speaker 3 So, Billy, so the Jets, that was an awesome win for the Bengals. It was awesome.
Huge. It was also,

Speaker 3 we could chalk this up to the old any given Sunday because it was a true letdown spot for the Bengals. We talked about it last week.

Speaker 3 The Bengals had their biggest win probably in franchise history in the last five years, maybe 10 years. Like it's been a long, probably since like Andy Dalton like 12 and 4 year.

Speaker 3 It was that big of a win against the Ravens. Then they go to the Meadowlands, think they can kind of come out there and roll over them.
Now, the Bengals did get screwed.

Speaker 3 That unnecessary roughness call was bullshit. They got boned.
That was a Pac-Man Jones reputation call. That was bullshit.
Because where do you aim if you're that cornerback?

Speaker 3 You can't aim any lower than his head was. He got ducked into.
And it decided the end of the game because that was they had a stop at third and 11 and they would have gotten the ball back.

Speaker 3 But with that said, if you're the Bengals and you want to be considered a bona fide good team that's going into the playoffs and maybe competing for things, you shouldn't even be in that situation with the team against like the Jets, right?

Speaker 3 Yep. Like that's if you're a Bengals fan, I think you can complain for like two minutes and then you have to snap out of it and be like, no, we were in this fucking game with the Jets.

Speaker 3 We should have killed them. We're way better than the Jets.
Right. And perhaps we were a little bit too quick to anoint the Cincinnati Bengals.

Speaker 3 I would say we forgot that they're literally the Cincinnati Bengals. I'll never apologize for Nietzsche.

Speaker 3 I'm sure we're doing it again this week. Listen, somebody let us know.

Speaker 3 Listen to this show and let us know which team we're Bengalsing this week because I'm sure that we'll very quickly anoint some. It's probably going to be the Patriots.
Yeah, no, it will be.

Speaker 3 And that's, you know, people are like, you overreact.

Speaker 3 Listen, if you want a measured take where everyone's like, hey, everyone's kind of good, and some teams are kind of really good, and some teams are kind of bad, like,

Speaker 3 we're never going to do that. I'm going to tell you teams stink.
I'm going to tell you teams are awesome. The Bengals stink.
The Jets are awesome.

Speaker 3 And based on this day. Let's also clap it up for the Jets.
They scored a touchdown the first quarter.

Speaker 3 Not only did they score a touchdown,

Speaker 3 Mike White went seven for seven on his first drive in the first quarter. He went 14 for 14 if you count the two interceptions that he threw at the end of the day.
Okay, that counts.

Speaker 3 The ball didn't touch the ground. Those are our stats.

Speaker 6 In the New York special. They were the two-point conversion play.
The New York special.

Speaker 3 That's

Speaker 3 just call it the Billy special yeah that's good it's mine yeah it's yours for Billy Billy get Mike White in prime time on Thursday night at Indianapolis

Speaker 3 I'm gonna bet against Mike White in the Jets after Jets Colts Thursday night all right all the haters out there that said that the NFL was dead suck my dick we get Mike White in primetime coming for you fuck you yes

Speaker 3 you know who's the real loser in all this who Joe Flacco yes although he's still does he really does he really want to play does the check clear Because I think he's doing okay.

Speaker 3 It's actually amazing that Joe Flacco is staying around as a backup quarterback.

Speaker 3 He must have another kid on the way that we don't know about because

Speaker 3 he's made so much money. I think he's made, what, like $150 million?

Speaker 7 So much money. Why is he a backup?

Speaker 3 If it were me, I would just, I would buy a house and a shitload of animals and just go out there and stare wistfully off into the sunset. Is that what it is? He misses the guys in the locker room.

Speaker 3 Yeah, he likes to be around. You got to be around the guys in the locker room.
I actually think if

Speaker 3 you can hang on, I never understand why quarterbacks retire, why they don't just be like, I'll be a backup for the next 10 years, because it would be awesome.

Speaker 3 Just be a professional athlete. I think being a backup quarterback is the best job there is.
It would be so much fun. I can hold the fuck out of a clipboard.
And then you have to work very hard.

Speaker 3 Every now and then that you might come in.

Speaker 3 But Mike White made himself some money today.

Speaker 3 Like as long as Mike White should, we've talked about this many times on this podcast.

Speaker 3 If Mike White was smart, he would go out on Thursday night, he'd get injured on the first play, and then he's Mike White. Oh my God, what's Mike White? Could Mike White be the guy forever?

Speaker 3 And it needs to be an injury where

Speaker 3 it's not involving his throwing arm or his knee. Right.
So go out there and I don't know, say that you got the Baker Mayfield. Your off-shoulders dislocated.
Yes.

Speaker 3 And then you go in the offseason for cleanup. And then, boom, six months later, you're getting paid, I don't know, 20 million guaranteed somewhere.
Done.

Speaker 6 He's a free agent after this year. I could see him starting for the rest of the games.
Zach Wilson stays on. They trade him in the offseason where he gets free.

Speaker 3 He trade a free agent?

Speaker 6 I mean, not trade him, but he signed somewhere else.

Speaker 3 He just gets the bag. Awesome.
That'd be next. That's

Speaker 3 Belichick style. Just be like, we're going to trade you, dude.
How you doing, Hank?

Speaker 3 Hank just came back. Hank's a warrior.
Hank is a warrior.

Speaker 3 I've had back pain like Hank before. I got my back blown out twice.

Speaker 3 And yeah, it's not fun. Oh, see, you see your back blown out.
You see Kim Kardashians dating Pete Davidson? Yeah, that's going to be a very healthy relationship.

Speaker 3 He's the ultimate rebound guy, I think. That's going to be a healthy, healthy relationship.

Speaker 3 If you want to piss off whoever you just got done being married to, just have a picture taken in public of you with Pete Davidson. Yes, yes.
But Hank got his back blown out and probably not.

Speaker 3 By myself. By himself.

Speaker 9 I blew my back out.

Speaker 3 He blew his back out picking up his or putting on his sweatpants. It's also like never a good thing that like you're, I guess this is just our relationship, but I think I was your first phone call.

Speaker 3 Were you the back guy? You're like, what do I do?

Speaker 3 Well, I'm not a doctor, but I'll tell you. To be fair,

Speaker 3 you want to to go and have it. I have some great back advice.
Yeah, I do.

Speaker 3 I've been through it a lot. Big Cat fixed my back.
Yeah. Big Cat has you through back problems.

Speaker 9 You weren't my first call. I did call my mom first, and she said, call Big Cat.

Speaker 3 That would have been funny.

Speaker 9 She was like, hey, is everything all right? Like, is it an emergency? I was like, no, I just like hurt my back really bad. She's like, well, I'm at dinner.
Can I call you tomorrow?

Speaker 3 I was like, all right, yep, all right.

Speaker 9 She did call me this morning, but she was clearly like out and about. So then I was like, all right, well.
I'm lying on the floor. Like, can I

Speaker 3 am I going to be able to get up? You texted me and I FaceTimed you. So I was like, like, let's get this fixed.
Let's get this back fixed.

Speaker 3 We just kind of glossed over the fact that he hurt his back putting on sweatpants. You kind of moved on from that pretty quickly, Big Cat.

Speaker 3 I know what he did. Sweatpants are the easiest pant to put on.
I would say

Speaker 3 tearaways, number one, sweatpants two, jeans three, corduroys four.

Speaker 7 They were

Speaker 9 one leg was slightly inside out. So, you know, when you put on sweatpants, you kind of sometimes do the jump around, like jump on one leg while you're pulling it up.
Fact. I did that.

Speaker 9 I did one jump, and then then the second jump, I just blew my back out. Yeah,

Speaker 3 I next time.

Speaker 9 Then I was, I was worried my neighbors were going to call the cops.

Speaker 3 I was like screaming on the ground, and then it's like one of those things where I'm like, I'm by myself.

Speaker 9 Like, what am I even supposed to do here? Like, I'm just like,

Speaker 3 screaming in pain, wiggling

Speaker 3 paralyzed.

Speaker 9 I didn't know if I was gonna be able to move again.

Speaker 3 The last two times I've blown my back out, I literally tried to stand up and then jumped down.

Speaker 9 Like, I fell.

Speaker 7 It was bad. It was a scene.

Speaker 3 The last scene, man. The last two times I blew my back out,

Speaker 3 one was i was laying in a chicago alley in like the middle of winter just screaming for help because i couldn't move and the other time i was laying on my my uh living room floor saying just shoot me just kill me it's that bad it is when you yourself up like that it's very very bad and now what kind of mattress do you sleep on is it soft or is it firm it's a mattress advertiser yeah okay it actually is it's a firm mattress firm yeah okay good brand new don't use the soft stuff soft stuff will fuck you up soft stuff will fuck you up you actually should be sleeping on just like a board.

Speaker 3 Just sleep in your bathtub. Like, yeah.
Just like a wood plank. Sleep on the floor.
Start sleeping on the floor. That's the way to do it.

Speaker 9 Yeah, I mean, I've had a lot of time for perspective on the couch the past few days. Yeah.
You know, thinking about golf, thinking about being able to be here and just hang out and not

Speaker 9 lie down. Yeah, it really does.

Speaker 3 It makes you appreciate what you got. Yeah.
You don't know what you got till it's gone. I'm going to beat this, guys.
Yeah, you are. I'm going to beat this.
I know you will.

Speaker 3 If you don't,

Speaker 3 is it... Can we...
Dr. Kvorkian? Is that, was that, what was the final finding on that? Yeah, are you allowed to kill someone? I'm of the mindset that if Hank asked me to kill him, I will do it.

Speaker 3 I'm just that good of a friend. I'd do it.
I'd kill you.

Speaker 3 I wouldn't let it all get in the way of me murdering Hank if that's what he truly wants.

Speaker 9 If I'm unable to golf by spring, just I'd kill you.

Speaker 3 Yep. Done.
We do it on the podcast for the numbers. Yeah, for sure.
A live shooter.

Speaker 3 It would

Speaker 3 be like the eyeball stream. If we can hold our YouTube subscriptions at $600.
We kill him. We will kill him.
Yeah, we kill this motherfucker. All right.
Well, we feel bad, Hank.

Speaker 3 So the Jets, congrats, Billy. Great win.

Speaker 3 Shocker of the day. By far, the shocker of the day.

Speaker 3 Also, I like Robert Sala. Robert Sala is pumped at the bottom of the ball.
Yes, he was.

Speaker 3 I also like the vibe that the New York football teams are doing now, where they just suck, but then they just win two or three games out of nowhere. Like the Jets beating the Titans and the Bengals.

Speaker 3 That's so stupid. The fucking Giants beat the Saints.
Well, at Spin Zone, if you're a Bengals fan, only good teams lose to the Jets. Yes.
Yes, that's true. That's true.

Speaker 3 All right. Next up, let's talk Titans, Colts.
Crazy game. Carson Wentz.

Speaker 3 God damn it. Right when I got back in it, right when I was like, you know what, this Carson Wentz guy, maybe he is turning it out, turning it around.

Speaker 3 I was getting gaslit by Colts fans, people tweeting about how he only has one interception. He had two of the worst interceptions to end one minute left in regulation, backed up on his goal line,

Speaker 3 left-handed pass where it was the like eternal Carson. NFT that for Carson Wentz because it was the ultimate Carson Wentz, like, I can get myself out of any situation play.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it kind of was, but recently I've noticed Carson Wentz,

Speaker 3 he looks desperate when he plays sometimes.

Speaker 3 He actually looks like he's going to be killed if he doesn't complete a pass in certain circumstances. And what he ended up doing was he desperated himself into taking maybe the smartest

Speaker 3 interception. This was the pick six of all.

Speaker 3 Because if he had taken the safety, they would have to kick off. They would have to give the ball back to the Titans.
Yep. Game over.

Speaker 3 But since he threw a pick six, it was the best pick six in NFL history. He did it on purpose.
Because they got the ball back and they had a chance to go down the field. He did it on purpose.

Speaker 3 It was a genius move by Carzoan. So people were actually saying that.
Now, I do blame Frank Reich, and he actually took some blame for it in the post-game. That it was a terrible play call.

Speaker 3 Shouldn't have put him in that situation.

Speaker 3 But my God, dude, sometimes, like, I don't know what it is about him, but he just has this fearlessness where he's like, I can get myself out of any situation.

Speaker 3 Well, I've noticed about Carson Wentz that when he may, he looks very athletic when he's running around sometimes. He looks like an athlete, where if he makes a great play, it looks sick as shit.

Speaker 3 And that's why we fall so easily back into the, oh my God, I think Carson Wentz is a good trap.

Speaker 3 I don't think we've ever been at the same station at the same time. Correct.
I think right when you get off it, I get on right when I get off it you get back on.

Speaker 3 But he looks really good when he makes an awesome play. So you're saying you're back on.
The problem is when he makes a bad play like that one, it's like staring into Satan's butthole. Yes.

Speaker 3 And you're like, I've never seen anything this ugly before in my life. It's terrible.
So I think I'm officially out again 100% on Carson Wentz. And then I have to be back in.
Are you back in, though?

Speaker 3 We can't do this.

Speaker 3 Well, no, you know, I'm thinking about it because we just talked about the Jets. The Jets are playing the Colts on Thursday night.

Speaker 3 No way the Jets can win that game and then come back. Like, Hungry Dog runs faster.
I'm going to be back at Carson Wentz, and I'm going to hate myself. I think I just choked up saying that.

Speaker 3 I can't physically take this guy anymore, but here I am. It's your body revolting against your brain.

Speaker 3 I would love to, maybe in the offseason, we could just do a live cam of Carson Wentz in an escape room and just watch him be like, I got this.

Speaker 3 Or like, maybe, like, we'll give him, we'll, we'll simulate.

Speaker 9 You should interview him, but it's an interrogation.

Speaker 3 Yeah, like, bomb detonation, like, training. Watch Carson Wentz be like, I got this.
I don't know. He just blows himself up every time.

Speaker 3 I don't know if he's like always confident, but I think he's just more always very nervous that this is about to be his last play ever.

Speaker 3 In his mind, he always thinks he's one play away from getting benched for the rest of his career and he's got something to prove.

Speaker 3 And then he sees Sam Ellinger looking over his shoulder. Yeah.
And he's like, uh-oh, this guy's good.

Speaker 3 And then the interception, actually, if you wanted, if you want to take the route of, all right, that interception was actually a good thing because it was a pick six and they got back in the game.

Speaker 3 They were able to come back with a minute left. That's fine.
The interception in overtime was really, really bad. And Michael Pittman is like a true bona fide number one.
He's been awesome.

Speaker 3 Like, I don't know. It just, that was such a bad interception.
I don't know how you can like explain that one away. He was like triple, there was triple coverage.
It was just.

Speaker 3 Blame it on the turf if you're Carson West. The turf in Indy looks like it has alopecia.
It's all patchy.

Speaker 3 That might be a side effect from the sun coming in. I know Mr.
Ursay opened up the roof this weekend, which was the right play for Jim. But the turf looked just patchy and weird.

Speaker 3 Looked like it had some sort of weird skin disease. Yes.
So

Speaker 3 that's Carson Wentz. The Carson Wentz.
And also, credit to the Colts because they figured out

Speaker 3 they've now fully adopted the Joe Flacco offense of like three times a game. They're just going to throw it deep.
Carson Wentz is going to underthrow his receiver.

Speaker 3 His receiver is going to try to come back to the ball. Boom.
Pass interference. That's how they actually got it to overtime with the pass interference, the end zone.

Speaker 3 It's a genius strategy, and it works every time. And I feel like the Colts are, I think, borderline doing it on purpose now.
Yeah, they might be. It's a good call to make.
Yes.

Speaker 3 If you have a receiver that's on the same page as your quarterback and you know that he's going to underthrow it, the defensive back, they have their back turned to the ball.

Speaker 3 They're going to at least get in your way coming back to the ball, so why not try it more often? I think that

Speaker 3 we need to ding Frank Reich. Can we put that on the ⁇ we're dinging him today? Yep.
From going away from Jonathan Taylor in the second half. Yes.
Because Jonathan Taylor is a beast.

Speaker 3 I don't know if you know this, but he went to the University of From, from, from, from Wisconsin.

Speaker 3 If you want a beast in the NFL, draft a Wisconsin running back or an Iowa tight end, and you'll be good. But they just stopped giving the ball in the second half.

Speaker 3 And they said, this is Carson Wentz's game to win.

Speaker 3 I don't know why you do that. And here's the thing.

Speaker 3 So we'll get to the Titans in a second, but the Colts, like, this is a really, really demoralizing loss if you're a Colts fan because you finally got healthy. You had some guys getting back.

Speaker 3 You were the healthiest you've been all year.

Speaker 3 You are up 14-0 nothing against the titans who have already beaten you this season up 14 nothing everything's rolling your way and you somehow lose that game so now you are not only like behind them by what two three games in the in the uh standings you also lost both games to them so it's a brutal brutal loss for the colts the titans i i feel like the titans now like they have enough defense to do something and aj brown is incredible and like derrick henry wasn't even even, Derrick Henry got kind of low-key bottled up today.

Speaker 3 A.J. Brown was insane.
A.J. Brown is so fucking good.
And the Titans are just, I've always like, last year, I was very much like, hey, the Titans' defense is not sustainable.

Speaker 3 Now I think the Titans might actually be a legitimate AFC contender. They've gone through a little bit of a gauntlet here, and they've come out the other end.

Speaker 3 So if you're the Titans and you knew going into this game that Tan Hill was going to throw two interceptions and that Derrick Henry was going to run for 68 yards, you probably would have penciled this one in as a loss.

Speaker 3 Right. Good news is Ryan Tan Hill threw for three touchdowns.
A.J. Brown had 155 yards on 10 receptions.
So

Speaker 3 you ended up making it up in unexpected places.

Speaker 3 And likewise with the Colts, what they did was they were like, we're not going to let Derrick Henry beat us. And mission accomplished, Derrick Henry didn't beat you.
A.J. Brown beat you.
A.J.

Speaker 3 Brown beat you. Yeah.
And I'm looking at it right now. So the Titans have Sunday night football against the Rams next week.
If they win that game, they are officially on contender watch.

Speaker 3 I also think that we need to make some amends and do some public apologizing to Fat Randy. Because Fat Randy,

Speaker 3 maybe to our credit, actually, maybe he should be apologizing to us. Yep.
Because ever since that game-losing kick that he had when he was a Bengal, where he pretended to...

Speaker 3 Oh, sorry, no, he had two calf cramps. Both his legs cramped up right after the fact when he hit the root.

Speaker 3 He's been lights out when it comes to clutch kicks. And he had another awesome one today.
Fat Randy on Halloween. He's been chopping down candy bars all day.

Speaker 3 Blood sugar to the roof. Blood type is nougat.
He is just absolutely feeling himself. He was looking very, very big.
He was, but he went out there, he fucking nailed it. Yeah.
Right down the middle.

Speaker 3 Yeah. He's.

Speaker 3 I love fat Randy. I do too.

Speaker 3 I was going to say something meaner, but I'm not going to say it. What were you going to say? Well, I was going to say, like, he does have the skin of a guy who eats too much.

Speaker 3 He looked, he did not look well. I have that skin.
I know what that skin looks like when you're like, you just got that little, that little puff, the puff in your face where you're like, oh, geez.

Speaker 3 All the blood ran out of his face by the end of the game because I think it was all digesting. It's like, it's sodium.
It's sodium poisoning.

Speaker 3 I have had it many times in my life where it's like, oh, geez, like, hey, maybe just do like one salad and a couple and a glass of water.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I mean, Fat Randy's belly could just be a giant kidney stone, too, from all the salt that he's. So he's a brother in arms.
He's a brother in arms. By the way, I passed a kidney stone yesterday.

Speaker 3 Oh, hell yes. I just keep doing it.
I'm good for about. Hell yeah.
I'm good for about one every month

Speaker 3 until I piss all these suckers out. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Cars Wentz, by the way, last thing he said, I beat us in overtime loss to the Titans. He also was wearing a jean jacket in his post-game.
That would piss me off.

Speaker 3 If I were a Colts fan, I'd be like, dude, come on. The gene jacket? The gene jacket would be like, I beat us.
Yeah. I don't know.
Put on a costume. He might have been a costume.

Speaker 3 Yeah, he might have been going as Aaron Rodgers from last year. Yes.

Speaker 3 Shout out, Billy, for nailing Aaron Rodgers, John Wick. Yeah, good job, Billy.
Crush that, Billy.

Speaker 6 Clap off for Billy. Always just tell you, look for your audience.

Speaker 3 Thank you. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Acceptance speech?

Speaker 6 I'd like to thank Keanu Reeves

Speaker 6 for looking like Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 3 Nice. Okay.
Nice. Good.
And vice versa. Yeah.
Yeah. I think I've changed my mind on Aaron Rodgers, by the way.

Speaker 3 I think I like him now.

Speaker 3 I do. I think that

Speaker 3 what he was saying after the game, he was like, he basically admitted that he micro-dosed and that he goes on like hallucinogenic trips because he goes, I did some stuff this offseason.

Speaker 3 Quickest way to your heart. He said, I did some stuff this offseason that changed my perspective and I'm seeing the worst.

Speaker 3 Can you just wait till he's off the Packers? Then I'll join you because I'm going to flip that on the Packers fans.

Speaker 3 If he ends up like on the Steelers, the Broncos, I'm going to be the biggest Steelers or Broncos fan this time. He changed my perspective on his perspective.

Speaker 3 He's the worst. Maybe I'm just still high from Biddy the Butcher.

Speaker 3 All right, let's go

Speaker 3 40. Oh, last note on Titans Colts.
If you get an interception and then you get injured, the fumble shouldn't count. That happened to Taekwondo Lewis today.
It was so unfortunate.

Speaker 3 He intercepted the ball. He tore his ACL.
I think he tore his ACL. I don't know.
And in the injury, like, fell down and dropped the ball.

Speaker 3 Well, the worst part was he hurt his knee, and I saw some people say that it was the patella tendon, which is what Victor Cruz had.

Speaker 3 Like, that's the really bad one that nobody ever tears unless it's like a car accident. Yep.
He tore it, fell on the ground. The ball comes out.
So he fumbles it. He's grabbing his knee.

Speaker 3 And meanwhile, six players from each team just jump on him, trying to get the ball out as he's like trying to reach and grab his knee. He's underneath the pile and just getting smoked.

Speaker 3 I I felt so bad for him. Yes, I did too.
All right, next up: 49ers Bears.

Speaker 3 Here's what I'm going to do. I promised myself before the season that I would not be upset about losses if Justin Fields looked like he was progressing.
And guess what?

Speaker 3 Justin Fields looked like he was progressing in this game. Turns out that Justin Fields is a really good quarterback when he can use his legs.

Speaker 3 Yeah, so maybe just don't keep him in the pocket all the time. Matt Nagy

Speaker 3 is on the COVID list. We hope he gets better.
Hope he gets better. He takes his time.
He did not have his stink all over this game. There were Fire Nagy chants at Soldier Field.

Speaker 3 And yeah, turns out play action, slants, quick slants, letting him move the pocket, letting him run the ball. He had like 100 yards rushing.

Speaker 3 He had that incredible run, the 22-yard touchdown run, where he ran 59 yards in those 22 yards to score that touchdown.

Speaker 3 Yeah, maybe that's why you drafted this guy because he's an electric athlete and you should let him make plays both with his arms and his feet. So

Speaker 3 the Bears' Bears defense is officially done. Like they're not, Khalil Mack was out, but

Speaker 3 it's over.

Speaker 3 They're varying the era of Bears' defense from like 2015 to 2018. Yeah,

Speaker 3 it's like, no, it's like 2017 to, there's been different Bears defenses, but this one's like 2017 to about last year and maybe a little bit of this year.

Speaker 3 And maybe they'll pop back up, but when you give up third and 19 tunnel screens to Debo Samuel for 80 yards. Like they were just, they weren't tackling anyone.

Speaker 3 They weren't doing anything that was helping out the offense. It's over.
And they made Jimmy G look electric. They made Jimmy G revive his career because he was clearly on the hot seat.

Speaker 3 So I'm just focused on Justin Fields progressing. He's obviously still a very big work in progress.
I'm not going to sit here and tell you he's incredible.

Speaker 3 He looked better than he has the last few weeks, and that makes me happy.

Speaker 3 And wins and losses don't matter, but I also would like them to win games because I'm really sad about the fact they they suck. There's a very mature outlook on your part.

Speaker 3 You're taking the macro over the micro, something

Speaker 3 your boss Alex Rodriguez taught you is important when it comes to sports. Exactly.
So I have a hypothetical here. If the Bears just

Speaker 3 let's say they change the passcode on their front gate, Matt Nagy couldn't get in, but his paycheck keeps going to him.

Speaker 3 Do you think Matt Nagy would just be like, okay, I'll just stay at home and not say anything? No. Because I don't think that he enjoys coaching football.

Speaker 3 I think he does because he does those stupid quotes like after we get fucking smoked by the Bucks and he's like, this team really loves each other. I don't know.
Shit like that. I don't know.

Speaker 3 It's ball to talk about. But even his quotes are kind of half-assed.
Yeah, but he's like, you can tell he doesn't even want to be googling inspirational quotes. He's a sentimental bitch.

Speaker 3 He's going off the first page of the Pinterest image results that he gets.

Speaker 3 So, yeah,

Speaker 3 I hope he gets better.

Speaker 3 Big winner in this game. But also, take your time.
Besides Justin Fields, who looked like a good quarterback today, especially with his legs,

Speaker 3 Kyle Shanahan. Yes.
Big winner today. Because Kyle has gotten a very, very long leash, and I'm still of the mindset that

Speaker 3 if he got fired tomorrow, there would probably be like six teams that would make a call on day one. Absolutely.

Speaker 3 Including, like, I would love for him to come back to the Washington football team and team back up again with Sean McFay and Matt LaFleur and Zach Taylor and all the other good coaches that we had at one point.

Speaker 3 But it felt like... It was wearing a little bit thin with Kyle Shanahan because the results haven't been there for the 49ers.

Speaker 3 And I feel like we were one game away from talking about his job. We haven't talked about his job yet.
If they'd lost this one, we would have been talking about his job. Yes.

Speaker 3 Now that they win this one, I feel like we're now three losses away from talking about Kyle Shane's job. Yes.
And Jimmy G was very good, so he saves his job for at least a little bit.

Speaker 3 It helps that he played against the Bears. Defense has no teeth left.
They didn't punt today. The Niners didn't punt.

Speaker 3 Never a good sign for defense, but a good sign for Jimmy G.

Speaker 3 Also, Debo Samuel is electric, and Debo Samuel is most likely, if he doesn't, if he stays healthy, going to break Jerry Rice's 49ers single season record. Wow.
Yeah. Like he, so he has.

Speaker 3 He has a calf now. Yeah, he has a calf now.
He has 819 receiving yards.

Speaker 3 Now, obviously, it's a 10-game season or 10 more games on their season because it's a 17-game season, but he would just have to average 75 yards a game in the final 10 games to break Jerry Rice's record for the 49ers, which is crazy.

Speaker 3 So the whole this team didn't punch that can be pretty misleading.

Speaker 3 I've realized that this year because when I was growing up, if a team didn't punt, you're like, wow, they beat the shit out of them. Their offense was probably really good.

Speaker 3 The Washington football team only punted once today and they scored 10 points. Yeah.
So it's not always. No, it's not always, but in this case, it was.

Speaker 3 And it's, I mean, these games, good teams don't screw up like the end of half, start of half situations. They don't.
And the Bears screw that up all the time.

Speaker 3 They should have scored a touchdown going into the half. They didn't.
They got a field goal. Then they led up a big pass to Debo Samuel.
So they got a field goal.

Speaker 3 And then they scored a field goal to start the half. So it was like

Speaker 3 they should have been able to put him away and they didn't. And that's what happens to teams that are not good.
And the Bears aren't good. But Justin Fields.

Speaker 3 One thing about Jimmy Garoppolo, I don't like how he slides.

Speaker 3 He gets a lot of late hits against him when he slides. But it's almost like he's inviting the contact when he slides.

Speaker 3 I don't want to say that it's because of what he's wearing or how he's acting or victim shame. Don't do that.
But there's something about him when he slides. He He looks so photogenic.

Speaker 3 He's like smiling and looking for the camera as he goes down. If you're a linebacker, you just want to hit him.
Yes, I agree. Again, not his fault.
Not his fault. I'm not blaming him.
Not his fault.

Speaker 3 All right. Next game.
Panthers, Falcons. Panthers 19, Falcons 13.
If Matt Ryan didn't get stepped on and have his hand gush blood everywhere, would we have remembered this game?

Speaker 3 No, I don't remember a single thing about this game except for the fact that Sam Darnold got hit in his head

Speaker 3 from the gravitational pull of it, and he was taken out of the game. And P.J.
Walker is a guy that always just manages to find himself in football games. Yes.
He never starts them.

Speaker 3 But I feel like the last two years, every Sunday, we've had at least one P.J. Walker drive.
Yes, yes, it's true.

Speaker 3 And Matt Ryan getting his hands smashed was like, that was like, oh, shit, that game's going on. Because

Speaker 3 there wasn't a lot of offense. It didn't go to red zone very often.
The Falcons, Calvin Ridley, which we saw afterwards, he's taking a step away from football. They missed Calvin Ridley.

Speaker 3 They did a good job shutting down Kyle Pitts. Oh, yeah, Stephon Gilmore.
Turns out he's still good. He had a late pick to seal the game.
But yeah, this was both these teams are kind of the same team.

Speaker 3 And it's just like the Panthers are a little bit better. They deserve each other.
Yeah. They deserve.
Yeah, Matt Rule also launched a flag. And when I mean launched, he like wound up.

Speaker 3 You've seen that video of the girl, I think it was at a Knicks game, who's got a t-shirt, and she just guns it into the stands. It goes into the upper desk.
That's hot. Yeah, that, well,

Speaker 3 that's what it looked like. That's what it looked like.
That's my favorite whenever

Speaker 3 they post a video of like, yo, check out this chick. She can throw a football.
Yeah. How hot is this? Well, Billy definitely looks at that and is just imagining the offspring.
That's all that is.

Speaker 3 Oh, my God. This chick can throw a football?

Speaker 3 Throw a spiral directly into my face. That's so fucking hot.
But yeah, Matt Rule launched a flag. I think it landed on Mars.
It was pretty cool.

Speaker 3 Sometimes when you're a little guy like Matt Rule, you just got to remind people that you still got it. You got to get it.
You're a little pep. Yeah, exactly.
You add some shit to you.

Speaker 3 Yeah, don't come at me. I'm Matt Rule.
I'll spit on myself in my smock.

Speaker 3 Okay, Eagles, Lions,

Speaker 3 yikes. Big yikes.

Speaker 3 So

Speaker 3 I think that the sign that the Lions were doomed was when everyone decided this was the game that the Lions were going to win.

Speaker 3 I woke up this morning, I looked, and I think it was 75% of the people were betting on the Lions.

Speaker 3 I think we as a country should stop trying to predict when the Lions are going to get their first win because at this point it might not happen. Yeah,

Speaker 3 it just seemed like the time was right. I'm guilty of it as much as anybody because I did bet on the Lions today.
I thought this was going to be their week.

Speaker 3 I thought I saw it as a matchup between Dan Campbell and Nick Siriani, and I didn't know that Dan Campbell had it in him to out Nick Siriani. Yes.
Nick Siriani. Yes.

Speaker 3 Trying to act like he was being aggressive for it and ended up making one of the dumbest play calls that I've seen in the NFL in a long time as far as coaching mistakes go at the end of the second quarter.

Speaker 3 where, what was it?

Speaker 3 It was a situation they should have kicked a field goal.

Speaker 9 14 seconds left.

Speaker 3 14 seconds left. Fourth and one.
Fourth and one. And he said, I'm going to go for it.
I'm going to be aggressive. And he was going to try to be aggressive and go for it.
One extra play.

Speaker 3 And then what would that extra play have been? A field goal. Yes.
And he said now, to his credit, this is actually him being more Nick Siriani than Nick Siriani.

Speaker 3 After the game, he set an all-time record for saying it starts with me.

Speaker 3 He never said it ends with me, too. So he's not reached that state yet.

Speaker 3 But he said that everything out there starts with me, all the coaching decisions, the mood going into this week, our team's attitude. It starts with me.

Speaker 3 So Dan Campbell, officially, he's number one on the coach looking into the mirror power rankings. Yes.
But I did like how he referred to the game today. He called it a sea of crap.

Speaker 3 Yeah, he, he, he was, uh, his, so my question to you and to the world is,

Speaker 3 Dan Campbell does a really good job of owning the blame. He said that was bad.
That's what he said. He said, that was bad.
I didn't set the tone. I didn't have my team prepared.

Speaker 3 At some point, just owning the blame, like,

Speaker 3 you just suck, right? And I like Dan Campbell, so I'm not going to be there yet. But, like, I think we've given him a lot of credit for owning how bad the Lions are.

Speaker 3 But also, if you keep saying, like, my bad, my bad.

Speaker 3 We should start listening and being like, yeah, you're bad. Well, I think in today's society, we're most used to seeing people who suck pretend that they're great.
Correct.

Speaker 3 And so when you see somebody who's sucking be like, hey, I suck, it kind of scrambles your brain for a second. You're like, I like his honesty.
Yeah, right. But the outcome is still.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I like how this guy sucks. Yes.
And I would rather have a guy be honest about it than have a guy who's deflecting blame elsewhere, coming up with excuses.

Speaker 3 But at some point, if you're like, listen, I don't have any excuses. I'm not good at my job.
Right. Then I'm going to be like, wait, it sounds like this guy might not be very good at his job.

Speaker 3 Yeah, he's kind of telling. telling us.
He tells us after every game that it's like, hey, it starts with me. We weren't prepared.
We weren't ready it's like okay

Speaker 3 um yeah so we should start listening and being like yeah they're not prepared they're not ready i i'm willing to go ahead and make my own excuses for dan campbell and i'm just going to chalk up that field goal no field goal at the end of the first half as just being a little bit of the inner meathead poking through yes where he just wants to be aggressive all the time and he doesn't stop to think about wait what's the point in being aggressive if on the very next play i have to kick a field goal right it's just the inner meathead that's all that was it was tough so but but that doesn't really excuse the rest of the game i and i don't know.

Speaker 3 Unfortunately, now I'm just personally worried because I think the only game that the Lions probably could win is Thanksgiving Day against the Bears.

Speaker 3 But I don't,

Speaker 3 it's bad. Like, this team is very bad.
I know they're supposed to be bad, but I don't think that makes it better for Lions fans. Like, Lions fans, you can tell yourself you're bad, but when you're...

Speaker 3 potentially going to go winless again in the span of what 10 years like that's

Speaker 3 I don't know what to say the only thing I have to say for Lions fans like some of you are michigan state fans that's huge shout out world of isaac yeah the rest of you are michigan fans that's a bad weekend uh but yeah it's it's very very bad in detroit and i feel really bad for detroit and they're just they're just not a good foot like dan campbell said they're just not they're bad that was bad i think you have to give dan campbell a full another offseason to restock the roster before we can accurately evaluate how bad he is.

Speaker 3 Because I think today, even if he had a roster that was as talented as the Eagles, they still lose that game by 25 points. Yeah, and we,

Speaker 3 but you never know. Like, we should give him some time to work into his job a little bit.
Maybe I'm just making excuses. You know what? He's tricked me into it.

Speaker 3 I want Dan Campbell to be good, but it's just he keeps telling us that he's not good. Uh-huh.
And we're not listening.

Speaker 3 I'm definitely not listening. No.

Speaker 3 I can tell from the last five minutes of the things that I have said and the things that I have thought that I am definitely not listening to Dan Campbell when he tells me that it's on him. Yes, yes.

Speaker 3 What are you going to say, Hank?

Speaker 9 Well, Calvin Johnson's, you know,

Speaker 9 their shining star. His receiving record is going to get broken by Cooper Cup, same quarterback, Matthew Stafford.
So

Speaker 9 that probably makes it worse.

Speaker 3 Is Calvin Johnson a system receiver? Summer. Summer Stafford.
It just makes everyone electric. Yeah, it's bad.
It's bad. Eagles, on the other hand, I...

Speaker 3 Like, this is the old, you know, are the Eagles back? No, they played the Lions, but you still get credit for winning and winning convincingly.

Speaker 3 And I don't want to say they found something, but Jalen Hurts only throwing 14 times

Speaker 3 and using his legs.

Speaker 3 They ran the ball very, very well. Their defensive line woke up.
I don't know.

Speaker 3 You should never apologize for wins. So Eagles fans, like, I think most Eagles fans are like, yeah, those lines, they stink.
But still, a win is a win and a convincing win.

Speaker 3 It's rare to have, you know, 44 to 6 or whatever the final score was in the NFL.

Speaker 3 Yeah, this is a win that definitely stings or loss that stings if you're the Lions because they gave up 236 yards on the ground. They limited Jalen Hurts to 103 yards passing.
Yeah, it was 9 for 14.

Speaker 3 9 for 14, 103 yards passing, but he had a 93.8 QBR, which is that stat is just so made up. It's just bad.
It's just bad. Very bad day.

Speaker 3 The camo that the coaches were wearing, Nick Siriani. has a wardrobe now that it's well you know what it's october 31st it's halloween today correct it's not even salute to service month yet Correct.

Speaker 3 It's not No Nut November yet, Nick. And they were both rocking the shit out of that camo.
He was just trying to beat us to it. I think they were trying to be first adopters.

Speaker 3 Yes, that's absolutely what happened. But I don't really have anything else to say besides that was bad, which is a quote from Dan Campbell.
Sorry, he's not telling us. He's telling us.

Speaker 3 Not a sea of crap. It was a sea of trash.
I agree with Dan Campbell. Okay.

Speaker 3 Let's see. Say something nice about, again, the Eagles.
I don't know. The Eagles are kind of what they are.
They're scrappy-ish.

Speaker 9 The Eagles fans probably wanted to lose that game, too.

Speaker 3 No, no. You don't want to lose.

Speaker 3 The Lions are now at the point where if you lose them, it's embarrassing because they're 0-8. Like, you can't be the first team.
That's why I'm dreading Thanksgiving Day.

Speaker 3 Like, that's going to be terrible. I'll say one nice thing about the Lions.
Bye-week came at the right time.

Speaker 3 So they don't have a game next week. Get a reset.
I don't know if you can say that the Eagles fans wish that they had lost this game. No, they won't have to.

Speaker 3 We know a lot of draft their draft order. Were they also the Dolphins? Just don't, which is number three right now.
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 3 They have the Dolphins pick, they have the Colts pick, and their own, which are all top 15 right now.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Maybe the only way I can think that the Eagles would wish they had lost a game is the Eagles fans that hate Nick Siriani.

Speaker 3 And I think also Eagles fans probably are doing, you know, they're straddling the fence right now of like, hey, if we could win a couple games here, maybe we'll be competitive in December.

Speaker 3 They're still trying to figure out if they draft a quarterback in the first round next year. Yes.
So I think they will with three picks. You kind of have to.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Okay.
Next game. Bills Dolphins.

Speaker 3 Weird game. 3-3 at half.
Felt like the Dolphins' defense finally showed up to the 2021 season. And then the Bills were able to

Speaker 3 just steamroll in the second half. Josh Allen smashing all the buttons, making plays.

Speaker 3 He had two plays in a row, I think, where he hit every single button.

Speaker 3 Like he tries to do a lateral as he's already down on the ground. Yes.
And the Dolphins, I mean, their defense did play well for half.

Speaker 3 Tua, I don't know, wasn't his best game. Let's wait till the All-22 comes out.
Wait till the All-22 comes out with Tua. That was a real defense he was playing this week.
He wasn't looking that great.

Speaker 3 It is weird, though, how the Dolphins only care about division games. Yeah.

Speaker 3 They play that division so tough all the time, with the exception of the first game that they had against the Bills this year.

Speaker 3 But usually, if they're playing against the Bills, the Jets, or the Patriots, the Dolphins, they look like a completely different team than if they play a good team from the West Coast. It's also

Speaker 3 Dolphins' candy ass season because now that the weather is starting to turn, and you see those jerseys in western New York, and you're like, oh, they're never going to win this game. It doesn't work.

Speaker 3 It's like it's so easy. They're like tourists walking down the stairs.
Yeah, like this will be popping out there. Yeah.
And the Bills, unbelievable cover that

Speaker 3 they weren't covering all game. They find a way to cover.
Yeah, Tua. I'm going to be nice to Tua, but he wasn't good.
He wasn't good. And Deshaun Watson could still get traded to the Dolphins.

Speaker 3 Again, can somebody make a cut-up of Tua's throws and just like completely gaslight us and show us why Tua was great on every single, even the bad throws? Why were they actually good in hindsight?

Speaker 3 But you're right.

Speaker 3 I feel like it's an inevitability at this point that Deshaun Watson is going to be, he's probably going to be making the rounds on the court-ordered door-to-door introductions in Palm Beach.

Speaker 3 Shade County. He's going to move into Epstein's old mansion.
Okay. I mean, it's vacant.
No, they destroyed it. Oh, they did? They bulldozed it? Yeah, good.

Speaker 3 Yes. Tua also had a ridiculous

Speaker 3 fumble, which I don't know if that was on him or the center or wherever.

Speaker 3 We looked up at one point and the ball was just everywhere. It was a Benny Hill skin.
I don't think

Speaker 3 that one wasn't on Tua. No, I think Gosecki was in motion and it hit him or something.

Speaker 3 Yeah, so they tried to do the thing where they send a receiver in motion before the snap.

Speaker 3 And I'm actually amazed that it doesn't happen more often, especially on the plays where they're going direct to the quarterback who just puts it right out in front and does a a jet sweep to the guy that's scooting by.

Speaker 3 I don't know how those types of fumbles don't happen. They have to time it perfectly on the snap.
This one was not timed perfectly. Yes.
I think just snapped into Gasicki's butt.

Speaker 3 So I'm being nice to Tua. Isn't that nice to Tua, Jake? Very nice.
I mean, he was bad, but I'm being nice to him.

Speaker 3 And I will wait for the Tua Believers to tag me in every tweet this week and let me know how he wasn't bad. Remember, 94.9% chance he's traded by Tuesday.
That's true. Jordan Defloria.
That's true.

Speaker 3 And then you know what? Or Deshaun Waltz. You know who the first game is for the Dolphins? Who? Be against the Texans.
Oh, wow.

Speaker 3 Instant revenge. Instant revenge.
Also, OJ Simpson was at this game. Good.
Yeah. Glad to see he's still out there.
Turns out who's back. Oh,

Speaker 3 yeah. He did a little video reminiscing about the old stadium.
O.J. is all about the content.
Do you think there are people who probably were like, yeah, what's up, OJ? Oh, I guarantee you.

Speaker 3 If OJ Simpson walks past you, there are people that go up to take like ironic pictures with him that then post it online, and nobody can tell the difference between irony and actually endorsing a serial killer.

Speaker 9 Also, I mean Twitter in a nutshell where people like it's because the jokes are kind of funny, I think people like it when OJ like does these videos because they can make jokes. Yeah.

Speaker 3 But it's like it's still OJ. Yeah.
Yeah. It's still OJ.
Right. Yeah.
I'm just glad to see that he's you know out there roaming. Yeah.
That he's still free.

Speaker 3 He's just doing the thing, whatever that thing is. All right, Rams, Texans.

Speaker 3 I don't even know what to say about this game. The Texans are like disgusting.

Speaker 9 the Rams.

Speaker 3 I mean, the Texans did blow, or the Rams did blow the cover out of nowhere. They're up 38-0 going in the fourth quarter.
Disgusting. Crazy.
Crazy, crazy blown cover.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I mean, the Texans won the fourth quarter 22-0.

Speaker 3 I do think that we're covering an on-side kick, if you're the Texans here, like, you wasted it. I don't know.

Speaker 3 Do you think this was recovering?

Speaker 3 I think on-side kicks

Speaker 3 as much as it's going to get for Texans fans.

Speaker 3 I think on-side kicks, like, I actually think of on-side kicks as like you have a certain set amount as a franchise. Oh, like eggs.
They don't need one in five X amount of eggs.

Speaker 3 They'll need one in five years, and they'll be like, no, remember that Rams game? You don't get it. I don't know.

Speaker 3 The fourth quarter, I think the Texans had 73 yards of offense total going into the fourth quarter.

Speaker 3 And then Davis Mills put the team on his neck, and he was like, I'm going to be a garbage time all-star. And garbage time all-stars, it's like Kirk Cousins.
That's one that comes to mind.

Speaker 3 Jalen Hurts.

Speaker 3 Carson Palmer had a couple nice seasons doing that.

Speaker 3 And then I would, Davis Mills is working his way into the conversation of a guy that gets yards and touchdowns in absolute garbage time. The Texans, though, are at the point where,

Speaker 3 like, I wrote down this game happened. I don't really know.

Speaker 3 They're not. It's actually, it's crazy at this point in,

Speaker 3 like, we usually have one or two bad teams. It feels like we have a few really bad teams.
I love it when the bad teams play each other, though.

Speaker 3 Yeah, because watch out, because coming up next, the Texans, they get the Dolphins, the Jags, the Jets, and the Colts. Oh, wow.
So we're going to, at least they get to play each other. Yes.

Speaker 3 So we can completely ignore those games if we want to. I think the Colts have actually graduated out of like being truly or sorry, not the Colts.
The Jets have graduated out of being truly bad.

Speaker 3 It's the Jaguars, the Texans, and the Lions right now where it's like watching those games are painful. Painful.
Like those three teams.

Speaker 3 They were down two touchdowns in the blink of an eye. Like you turned on the game and they were down.
Yeah, I have a a hypothetical for you. Okay.

Speaker 3 Would you take a million dollars to play on the Houston Texans for the rest of the year? No.

Speaker 3 Okay. That's easy.
You need to even let me get the stipulations out. Okay, go ahead.
How about this? Hank, you can feel free to chime in.

Speaker 3 I can't walk right here. I'm just saying, but listen, this is a part of the stipulations.
A lot of the stipulations.

Speaker 3 Would you play on the Houston Texans at running back? No.

Speaker 3 You get 17 carries a game. Nope.
No. You're guaranteed not to get injured, though.
You still feel the impact of the hits and you wake up with bruises, but you're not injured.

Speaker 9 What does that mean? No.

Speaker 3 You get $3 million for the rest of the year. You said I just gave you a raise.

Speaker 3 The market's thinned. You realize it was the worst hypothetical.

Speaker 3 The market's thinned out. Would you, Billy? Would you take it? Absolutely.
$10 million.

Speaker 3 $500,000.

Speaker 3 You'd have to live in Houston. You'd have to be in that locker room every day.
You'd have to deal with the sadness of being a terrible, terrible football team. And you have to get your ass kicked.

Speaker 3 Yeah. And you have to do whatever David Cully tells you to.
No, no, no. No satanic contacts.
Good point.

Speaker 3 Davis Mills is your leader.

Speaker 3 You do it?

Speaker 3 You get fucked up every single Sunday. You ask me 17 carries? You get hurt.
This whole injury stipulation is not real either. You'll get injured.

Speaker 6 I mean, if I'm not actually going to get a game-ending injury?

Speaker 3 No, you're going to get a life-ending injury. You get bruises.
You don't break any bones. Maybe some ribs.
You break one rib. Hairline.
And your nose. Hairline rib.
Yeah. And your nose.

Speaker 3 And maybe your spine gets. 5% chance your neck is snapped.
Your spine gets dinged. Yeah.
Gets nicked. You get a nicked neck.
5% chance

Speaker 3 your neck is snapped. 50% chance you get knocked out cold.

Speaker 3 Actually, I'm in. Yeah.

Speaker 9 I heard myself putting on sweatpants. There you go.
Why even, you know?

Speaker 3 It could be anything. You get the jersey.

Speaker 3 It just sucks so bad to look so slow and everyone be like, what the fuck?

Speaker 3 If you told me I get to keep my jersey and reframe it for me.

Speaker 9 Bust one out.

Speaker 3 Yeah. You break one? Two yards? It's a numbers game.
If you get the ball enough, you're bound to to break one.

Speaker 9 Blocking scheme?

Speaker 3 Yeah. Cooper Cup is incredible.
He's already, so he almost has already hit his career high in yards and touchdowns, and we're eight games in.

Speaker 3 His career high is 1,100 yards and 10 touchdowns. He's at 800 yards, 9 touchdowns.
You think he's going to just continue to go off?

Speaker 3 They can't stop him.

Speaker 3 Stafford and Cooper Cup have a clear connection, and no one has stopped them yet. I'm just a believer of weather impacting football later on in the year.
Hold on. But, I mean, they play in

Speaker 3 a dome. He's shaking his head.

Speaker 3 I mean, they play in a dome.

Speaker 3 But you can still get lightning in there. Yeah, that's true.
There could get lightning in there. Arizona plays in a dome.
San Francisco and Seattle, okay.

Speaker 3 Has he had a game? I'm looking right now. So the closest, Arizona, Arizona beat the Rams pretty good, and he only had

Speaker 3 64 yards for no touchdowns. That was the closest anyone has come to like shutting him down.
Every other game, he's had 90 or more. In most games, he has a touchdown or two.

Speaker 3 So they get the Titans on Sunday Night Football next week. That'll be fun.
Yeah, that's going to be a prove it game. That'll be a game of like,

Speaker 3 are the Rams going to be candy ass or are they going to be a real football team? Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 All right.

Speaker 3 Okay,

Speaker 3 let's do Hank.

Speaker 9 The Patriots are back. Yeah, they are.

Speaker 3 Patriots are back. Patriots 27, Chargers 24.
A very impressive win for the Patriots.

Speaker 9 Very impressive win. I said it in the pregame show on Thursday.
This would kind of shape how I look at this team going forward for the rest of the year. And I'm all aboard the playoff train now.

Speaker 9 Okay, so Mac Jones was airing it out. They kind of opened up the offense a little bit.
It wasn't just dinking and dunking. His numbers weren't as good.
He wasn't as accurate. But that's like,

Speaker 3 that's a one step backward for a couple steps forward situation. This year has been a story of how much does Bill Belichick trust Mac Jones.
And last week, he really trusted him.

Speaker 3 This week, if we're talking to like give him the keys to the offense, it's like you give your teenage son who's driving the keys and you're like, okay, you can now go out with your friends on weekends, but be back by midnight with the car, which is vastly different from where we were four or five weeks ago.

Speaker 3 I think the Patriots can be summed up at this point. They're like a throwback Patriots team in that they're not great at anything.

Speaker 3 They're very good at everything. Like, they're just commenting.

Speaker 3 I like how that sounded. But you know what I mean? Because

Speaker 3 you don't watch the Patriots. There's not one offensive player.
You're like, that guy's a game changer. Like, you know, he's a difference maker, upper echelon guy.
Matthew Judon on defense, yes.

Speaker 3 But like, defense, kind of the same they play good special teams like they do everything very good and then you get a performance like this against the chargers where it's the first time the patriots have won against a good team this year because their three wins were against the jets and the texans and i think we all kind of saw this coming they're like turning a corner where they're gonna they're actually gonna be a team that's gonna be contending for something you know at least making the playoffs in the afc yeah it's gonna be a december to remember those two games against the bills are gonna be very exciting

Speaker 3 matthew Judon, by the way, the red sleeves.

Speaker 3 I started hating the red sleeves when I was watching them earlier this season, but it's so smart. It's a genius move to wear those red sleeves.

Speaker 3 I guarantee you he gets more holding calls against them than he would if he were wearing standard sleeves because those things pop all the time. They stand out.

Speaker 3 If they're being pinned down, you know a ref can see it clear as day. Now I love the red sleeves.
Plus, if you're good wearing red sleeves, you look awesome.

Speaker 3 If you're bad wearing red sleeves, you look like a chump. I think if the playoffs started today, they wouldn't be in, but they're right there.
Like there's

Speaker 3 what? I'm pulling up the playoff picture right now.

Speaker 9 Someone tweeted at me they'd be the seventh seed, but that's, you know, take a look at the market.

Speaker 3 I'm looking at it right now.

Speaker 3 The Chargers are four and three. It's all because of the bye week and stuff.
Like, the Chargers are four and three. They're not four and four.

Speaker 3 But yeah, the Patriots, I still don't really know what they were doing at the end of the first half. I don't know what they were doing on goal line when they were throwing the ball.

Speaker 3 And it's like, you guys run the ball very well, or at least have it times this year, I should say. And in that game.
Yeah, there's been times you haven't.

Speaker 3 Yeah, and the Chargers' biggest weakness is their rush defense. It made no sense.

Speaker 3 But yeah,

Speaker 3 that was a game that they just,

Speaker 3 they like kind of, they fucked Justin Herbert up two times now. They played him last year and they fucked him up.
Justin Herbert also had some really bad throws. Yeah,

Speaker 3 some very unjustin Herbert-like throws. Yeah, so my question is now,

Speaker 3 were we maybe a little ahead of ourselves with the Chargers? I don't know. I still like them.
I still like them.

Speaker 3 I think Hank's right. I think that the Patriots might be...
Okay. I think they might be realish.

Speaker 9 But also, what Big Hat, it's Chiefs.

Speaker 3 The Chiefs.

Speaker 3 Yes. So here's what I was looking at.

Speaker 9 The Chiefs have kind of fucked everyone.

Speaker 3 Yes. Because the Chargers' wins were the Washington football team, bad team.
Chiefs, maybe a bad team. I mean, they're not good right now.

Speaker 9 And they definitely weren't good then.

Speaker 3 Raiders, a good win

Speaker 3 with Gruden, not Basicia.

Speaker 3 And then Browns, which, I mean, that game was crazy a million different ways. Remember, it was a 47-42 game.

Speaker 3 But the Browns, like, all those wins at the time were like, oh, my God, the Chargers, big, big wins. I don't.

Speaker 3 I'm looking back and I'm like, wait,

Speaker 3 were they big wins or were the teams they were playing not that good? And then they lost to the Cowboys. Which they lost to the Ravens.
That game was a very close game because they've gone either way.

Speaker 3 But they lost to the Ravens. They lost to the Cowboys.
They lost to the Patriots. And those might be...
Like, the Cowboys are an upper echelon team. The Ravens are an upper echelon team.

Speaker 3 So I'm not saying the Chargers are bad. What I'm saying is we put the Chargers in the contender category in the the AFC.
I don't know if that was right.

Speaker 3 I think that the offense today was just trying to, they were locked in on Keenan Allen. They're like, I don't give a fuck what's going to happen.

Speaker 3 We're going to throw the ball to Keenan Allen every single time. And it didn't always work out for him, but they didn't get off it.
They didn't mix it up enough.

Speaker 3 And I'm looking at, I just typed an AFC playoff picture. I'm on Yahoo.
Remember that website? Yahoo? It's been a while since I've been there.

Speaker 3 They got the Chargers as a seven seed. Patriots are on the bubble as number eight.

Speaker 3 So they're outside looking in, followed by the Browns and then the rest of the teams, including the Kansas City Chiefs. But no, I think the Chargers are still good.

Speaker 3 I think they're a very, very good team. They're well coached.
I don't know if I wouldn't put two varies on it. They're very good.
They're very good. Very.
And then half very.

Speaker 3 Rabbit Rabbit. It's midnight.
Yeah, those are my first words in the month. Okay.
You know that

Speaker 3 the old rabbit rabbit thing? First month. What is that from? You set your alarm just so you can do it.
You say rabbit rabbit. I need all the good luck I can get, dude.
What's rabbit-rabbit?

Speaker 3 It's like an old Nickelodeon thing. What is it? I don't know.
Hey, boys, we're done nutting. Rabbit foot?

Speaker 3 Rabbit rabbit is a superstition found in Britain and North America wherein a person says or repeats the word rabbit rabbit. I think

Speaker 3 it's the first of the month, yeah. Wake up, wake up, wake up.
Rabbit, rabbit. It's the first of the month.
You're supposed to say it on the first day of the month.

Speaker 3 I don't usually do it, but I really do need, like, I'm running bad. So

Speaker 3 I need the first things that you say?

Speaker 3 First thing you say. So you're already,

Speaker 3 why did your alarm go? Yeah, November is ruined for you. God damn it.
But I got it. So I'm about to get hot, boys.
Wake me up when November comes.

Speaker 3 I don't know. I just.

Speaker 3 The Chargers are very, very good. I'll say that.
They're coming off of a bye week. They're good.
And they had this performance.

Speaker 3 Off of the Ravens' performance. I still like the Ravens.
And I think I was looking at their schedule. Here's where the Chargers are going to land in my mind.

Speaker 3 They're going to end up with a good record because their schedule softens a little bit.

Speaker 3 I think that once they get to the playoffs and they have to play another really good team, they're not going to be on that level.

Speaker 3 Like, their next three games, the Vikings, Steelers, and Broncos, which should be winnable, or sorry, Eagles, Vikings, and Steelers, should be all winnable.

Speaker 3 They're going to end up with probably 10, 11, maybe even 12 wins.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I'm doing my math. Yes.

Speaker 3 I just don't think they're going to. I think they're not.
I'm not taking them for real in the AFC. Here's what I'm going to talk it up to.

Speaker 3 The last rookie head coach to defeat Bill Belichick was Jim Caldwell in 2009. Bill Belichick has won his last 11 versus rookie head coaches.
Okay. So Belichick versus rookie head coach.

Speaker 3 Also, that stat came from 2015, so I don't know if anything's changed in the last 10 years.

Speaker 3 I also always just like, I don't know, off of bye week, I just feel like you should always be, have your shit in order. You should be.
You know?

Speaker 3 So, speaking of which, this is a perfect segue. The Jaguars off of bye week.

Speaker 3 I totally forgot that the Jaguars had a bye last week. That's how much I didn't miss them.

Speaker 7 They had

Speaker 3 two 12-minute on-the-field issues

Speaker 3 in back-to-back place.

Speaker 3 Is that not the most insane thing you've ever heard? They got a 12-minute on-the-field penalty, and then they had to call a timeout because they had 12-month on the field the next play. Yeah.

Speaker 3 I've never seen that. That's how badly Urban Meyer's players want to get away from him on the sidelines.

Speaker 3 Incredible.

Speaker 3 It's nuts, especially off a bye. Not a good sign.
But it is, in a weird way, it's indicative of what you saw with Urban Meyer today. He doesn't have any friends there.
There's nobody around him.

Speaker 3 Usually a head coach at least has one lackey that's next to him that's like hoping to suck off. Yeah, he is.
The strength of the guy. The strength guy, but he was fired before it even started.

Speaker 3 He doesn't even have a yes man. That's how bad things are for Urban Meyer.

Speaker 3 He had this quote afterwards. I didn't see that coming.
I really felt we had a decent week of practice. Now,

Speaker 3 translation, we're at that point. So

Speaker 3 you can really kind of figure out everything from a coach's post-game press conference. We've made fun of Nick Siriani looking in the mirror, Dan Campbell telling us that he's bad.

Speaker 3 Whenever you do the good week of practice,

Speaker 3 it's kind of at the end. But that's also deflecting.
That's the opposite of Dan Campbell, where you're like, I did my job as a coach to get them profitable.

Speaker 3 Abermeyer's never taken blame for anything in his life. He's the king of it, like slipping those little numbers in there.
I remember Mark Trussman's Bears were the best practice team of all time.

Speaker 3 It was like, that was it. Like, uh-oh, we're good at practice.
Anytime a coach is like, you know, it comes down to execution out there. I felt like we had a great week of practice.
Great grand

Speaker 3 game plan. We're all schemed up.
We just suck. Everyone got to the bus on time.
No disciplinary issues this week. Yeah.
And then we went out there and stunk.

Speaker 3 That's your coach throwing your team under the bus. And I'll say something nice about Trevor Lawrence.
Besides, I'm not going to say he's a bus just yet, but he's showing me bus-like tendencies.

Speaker 3 I can't really judge anything in this system, in the whole

Speaker 3 urban environment. James Robinson got.

Speaker 3 Here's something nice about

Speaker 3 Trevor Lawrence. His receivers stunk today.
They were dropping everything for him. He should have had a much, much better stat line than he ended up with.
So it's not all on Trevor Lawrence.

Speaker 3 But I am excited to say he's a bust when he does reveal himself as a bust. Fun stat.

Speaker 3 The Jags are 3-14 against the West Coast in their last 17 games. Oh, damn.
Well, that's actually very good for the Jaguars because I think they're like 1-17 in their last 18 regular games.

Speaker 3 So they actually improve when they go. Oh, they go west.

Speaker 3 The 3-14 is an improvement. They should be better on the West Coast.
I saw that. I had the exact same reaction as you did.
I'm like, wow, can't bet on the Jaguars today.

Speaker 3 They're playing on the West Coast. Turns out it's actually a good thing for them at 3-14.
Yes, they also made Geno Smith look awesome.

Speaker 3 I did see, this was, I noted it beforehand that, like, Jaguars Seattle is one of those matchups that I just have no memory of. Like, none.
I just don't.

Speaker 3 I can't think of a big moment where the Jaguars and the Seahawks played. And I looked it up up

Speaker 3 in the last three times the Jaguars have gone to Seattle. So today they lost 24-0.
Last time, 2013, they lost 45-17. 2009, they lost 41-0.

Speaker 3 So it doesn't go well. It doesn't go well.
Yeah. Not at all.

Speaker 3 It's bad. I'm looking up the distance here between stadiums in Jacksonville and Seattle.
Here's the Seattle chart. Jacksonville is, it's got to be like a top two or top three farthest apart stadium.

Speaker 3 Yes. 3,052 miles apart.
I'm going to say that that's the second farthest distance that an NFL team would have to. I feel strongly about that.
I feel strongly as well.

Speaker 3 It's bad for the Jaguars. They made Geno Smith look good.
Geno Smith had sick air on that quarterback sneak at the goal line. Yes, he did.
He got up in the air.

Speaker 3 He also completed his first 14 passes. This is Geno Smith who we saw a week ago

Speaker 3 not even be able to throw the ball when he needed to get that last drive. 14 passes.
Geno Smith ended up 20 for 24. The Jaguars are so, so bad.
Yeah, very bad. I feel bad for Jaguars fans.

Speaker 3 Sean Khan did say he's all in with Urban, though, which is, again, another sign that he's going to be fired very soon. Yeah, did he take his yacht to Seattle? Did he go through the Panama Canal?

Speaker 3 I don't know, but like when your owner says you're all in, that means you're just not. Yeah.
Like you're publicly all in.

Speaker 3 That means privately you're figuring out how can we get this guy out of here for the least amount of money out of my pocket. Why would you even say that you're all in on Urban?

Speaker 3 There's not a more obvious lie in the world to tell. And good news, though, good news for Urban Meyer, it's not like half the country dressed as him fingering chicks' buttholes for Halloween.

Speaker 3 Oh, wait, that is exactly what happened. And you know what?

Speaker 3 Every one that I saw, every picture I saw of people dressed up on Halloween, wearing the Ohio State thing at the bar, I laughed at every single one of them. It was very funny.
Always funny.

Speaker 3 I saw this one kid who was like five feet tall, blonde, long hair, and a girl who was like brunette. And I was like, that's still funny.

Speaker 3 It's nothing because I get the joke, but it's a very funny joke. And it's hard to nail, like perfectly nail the topical Halloween costume.
Like, I'm sure a lot of people went in Squid Game.

Speaker 3 I'm sure there was, what's the other topical one that was Island Boys? Yeah, Island Boys. Like, it's head lasso.

Speaker 3 Urban was a topical one that made me laugh every time. It was really good.
And it's also a genius Halloween costume if you're the guy. Yeah, because that means that

Speaker 3 you have a girl that just comes and grinds on you all night. No, babe, it's part of the costume.
Yeah, it's part of the cost. They won't know who we are.
Yes.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I've always thought that if you do a topical costume, you just have to be ready to fight whoever you see at the party who's the same costume.

Speaker 3 Like if you show up as Ted Lasso and there's another Ted Lasso,

Speaker 3 it's a fight. Well, there's very clearly a hierarchy of who's the most Ted Lasso player.
I once went to a Halloween party where there was two Al Borlands and it was fucking awesome.

Speaker 3 That's fucking funny. Because I tried to make them fight.
What year was that? It was like 2004.

Speaker 3 Yeah, that's incredible.

Speaker 7 That must be so rare to see these days.

Speaker 3 No one even knows who Al Al Borland is. I actually think if there were two Ted Lassoes, they would just hit it off instantly.
They would have to bring this. This is awesome.

Speaker 3 Yeah, you want to play some darts and have positive conversations? Yeah.

Speaker 3 And make this show our therapist? Go ahead.

Speaker 9 Two stats that are going to be deep in my head going into this next week. Geno Smith is 8-0 against the spread in his last eight games, and the Cowboys are 7-0 against the spread this year.

Speaker 9 Taylor Murray. One's got to give.

Speaker 3 One's got to give.

Speaker 9 I'm just like one of those things where it's like, and I've been betting against the Cowboys and losing. Betting against Geno Smith, losing.

Speaker 3 That's why we bet against Cooper Rush. I think.

Speaker 7 But now it's like, you bet against Geno Smith because Geno Smith sucks.

Speaker 3 But he's 8-0 against Spread. They covered.
Who'd they play last week in the rain game? The Seahawks? It was a Thursday night game against 49?

Speaker 3 No. No.
Why is my... This is bad.
Brain is melting. Saints? Monday night.
Monday night, they cover. Yeah, that's right.
Yep. Yeah, you're right.
Damn.

Speaker 3 What were you going to take? I think it's going to be a little bit more. Guess whose line is it?

Speaker 3 It's probably not up yet. We have to predict who's going to start a quarterback.
Yeah. Guess whose line is it anyway?

Speaker 3 There's no way this is up.

Speaker 9 There's no way they're playing each other, is there?

Speaker 3 I thought you just said.

Speaker 9 No, I'm just saying those are just two.

Speaker 9 I'm not saying they're playing each other.

Speaker 3 They're two stats.

Speaker 9 Two stats that I'm going to be in my head to say.

Speaker 3 No, the way you said that. They're not

Speaker 3 playing each other.

Speaker 9 No, I didn't mean it that way.

Speaker 3 I just meant the way there was two

Speaker 3 of the spreads.

Speaker 3 do you choose no no

Speaker 3 that's a great thing to have in my mind. I thought that you were saying like one's got to give.
Yeah, this is going to be incredible.

Speaker 3 This matchup, like who the fuck will which one are you going to pick?

Speaker 9 No, I meant more like I'm going to probably hop on both trends

Speaker 3 and lose. All right, so who do the Seahawks play next week?

Speaker 3 That's my bad. That's so funny.
I hope they play the Seahawks. Seahawks.

Speaker 3 I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 Cowboys play the Broncos. Okay.

Speaker 3 Packers, Seahawks. No.
Actually, the yeah wait we need to sort this out no the cowboys host denver yes

Speaker 3 seattles on a buy okay all right good so we can't have to

Speaker 3 apply to next week it is a good stat though hank thank you for bringing it up do the cowboys and seahawks play this year

Speaker 3 no they do not

Speaker 3 okay maybe next year maybe both trends will continue till next year i think they both win the division well i guess seattle not really but then they would be guaranteed right damn

Speaker 3 Okay.

Speaker 6 Probably be a push if they did play.

Speaker 3 The Tony Romo game. Sorry, brother.

Speaker 3 That's okay.

Speaker 3 We were pumped. It was going to be an incredible matchup.

Speaker 3 All right. It's fun to think about.
Washington football team probably is. It is very fun.
It's very fun to think about.

Speaker 3 PFT. Just trying to give you some fun stats.
Washington football team.

Speaker 3 Listen,

Speaker 3 we're brothers in arms and terrible quarterbacks, but I did feel especially sad.

Speaker 3 I bet on the Washington football team today, you turn to me before the game, you're like, I think this is one of those days that Taylor Heineke is going to make me excited.

Speaker 3 I think I used the words

Speaker 3 go off. I think I said that Taylor Heineke was going to go off today.
And this was, it was the most Taylor Heineke game because he played serviceably at times until he got close to the goal line.

Speaker 3 Now, granted, his interceptions weren't. I'm not going to count those as real interceptions.
Okay. Because

Speaker 3 one was the Hail Mary at the end of the game. But Jesus Christ, we're bad.
And I was just thinking to myself while I was watching the end of that game, I don't have to do this to myself.

Speaker 3 I don't have to watch and be invested in the Washington football team, who shouldn't even be called a football team. We're not the Washington football team.
We're the Washington sports.

Speaker 3 We're Washington recreational activities. We're the Washington, we get our asses kicked regularly.

Speaker 3 It was a depressing loss because at the end of the game, Between us and Vic Fangio, it was like watching two six-year-olds play blackjack against each other. And no one knew the rules.

Speaker 3 And everyone kept fucking everything up, giving us hope that we were inevitably going to squander away and i reached the point with chase young where i'm

Speaker 3 the football team's defense is better when he's not on the field i'll just say it i'll say it even though he had the fumble to maybe keep them back in it yes even though they had that at the end that was part of the legendary fumble incomplete pass when you're running the clock out yeah fumble again drive yeah that that the broncos put together broncos really wanted to lose that game but chase young i don't know i don't want to say that i want to retract what i said i'll put it this way He's on thin ice with me.

Speaker 3 The Washington football team is on

Speaker 3 last straw.

Speaker 3 Chase Young on thin ice.

Speaker 3 He's on thin ice with me right now.

Speaker 3 He doesn't seem like he's rushing the quarterback at all. He stands straight up a lot.
They take him out of the game for half the drives in the first half. I don't get it.

Speaker 3 I don't know what's going on. Montez Sweat is better than Chase Young is.
Chase Young, every time I see him play, he reminds me of Brian Arackpo when he was a first-round pick.

Speaker 3 And I went through this phase.

Speaker 3 Yeah, great voice, deep voice.

Speaker 3 I went through this phase of the Rackpo where I was like, he just doesn't get the calls.

Speaker 3 He gets held every single play. And at some point, that just becomes a guy that can't get to the quarterback.

Speaker 3 Chase Young, just, he doesn't even get close enough to the offensive lineman to get held. He just holds him out at arm's length.
It looks like he's playing the run every time he tries to pass rush.

Speaker 3 That's frustrating on defense, but it's bad. It's bad.
It was a painful game to watch. And the only thing I kept thinking about while I was watching it this whole time was, why do I do this to myself?

Speaker 3 I don't have to.

Speaker 3 No. Like, it's not in my blood to, I don't wake up and I have to watch the Washington football team and root for them like I have to eat or sleep.
But I do it. I do it to myself and I don't know why.

Speaker 3 And it sucks. And I'm not happy.
No, they're bad. And I just would rather just ignore them.
But I can. And Chris Blewitt.
I mean, that guy, he sucks. It's honestly impressive.

Speaker 3 He kicks it right into the line every time. 60% of his field goal attempts have been blocked.
Oh, my God. And this is what I was worried about.

Speaker 3 Not only when you sign a guy named Chris Blewitt, he has to be the best player to ever play the position, or else you're just inviting an onslaught of shit being like, oh, your kicker's name is Blewitt.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it is. That was our decision.
We consciously decided, or we would like to have a kicker named Blewitt who can't kick the ball over 10 feet in the air off the line of scrimmage. But then

Speaker 3 it was just the reason why we signed him was because we wanted to cut Dustin Hopkins, who immediately gets signed. right off the street.
They're like, okay, we think this guy's good.

Speaker 3 Because we wanted to show that we were holding the team accountable for stuff. Yes.
And so we cut a guy guy that's not bad. He's not good, but he's not bad.
For a worse guy.

Speaker 3 For a worse guy whose last name is literally Blewitt. Yeah.
It's bad. It's bad.

Speaker 3 Yeah, they're just a bad team. And it's crazy because last year, like, it felt like they were building something.
I guess, when is Ryan Fitzpatrick coming back?

Speaker 3 Because I do think that some of these games, like today was a winnable game. Ryan Fitzpatrick probably wins this game.
I think so.

Speaker 3 That's the beauty of Ryan Fitzpatrick. I actually would argue that if Ryan Fitzpatrick was quarterbacking for the Washington football team, they might have like two more wins.
They could.

Speaker 3 Because Taylor Heineke just

Speaker 3 finds new ways to like blow games and just be awesome between the 20-yard lines and then just fall apart. So I saw a post-game quote from Rivera.
It said that this team is still trying to find itself.

Speaker 3 Not a great thing for your head coach to say about you, that you have no identity, but it's true. They don't have an identity.
Their identity is Ryan Fitzpatrick is injured at this point.

Speaker 3 Their identity is our defense was good last year.

Speaker 3 This is week eight. And I saw the most pathetic fan response to that quote ever.

Speaker 3 Bear in mind, we're talking about the Broncos' Washington football team game, which was 17 to 10, which we've already spent too much time talking about on this show.

Speaker 3 One of the responses was, the NFL is so scripted.

Speaker 3 Like, Roger Goodell set this plan in motion to make sure that the Broncos could beat the football team 17 to 10 in a game that precisely nobody watched.

Speaker 3 And that's the level of cope that we're at right now. It's like rigged.

Speaker 3 Refs are rigged.

Speaker 3 Refs are rigged against the Washington team. You know what? I might just join in that.

Speaker 3 This league is rigged against the Washington football team because it's impossible for any team to be as consistently bad and just numbing, just numbing to your soul as they've been for the last 25 years.

Speaker 3 I got some extra bad news for you. I think they might be

Speaker 3 power rankings are coming out on Tuesday. We still have Monday Night Football, but I think they're officially the worst two-win team.
Good.

Speaker 3 Even though they've beaten beaten the Giants head-to-head, I think the Giants are better because the Giants have beaten real teams. The Washington football team has beaten the Giants and the Falcons.

Speaker 3 Yeah, okay. You know what? I'm going to request that you relegate the Washington football team from two and five to one and six.
Ooh, okay. Can they be included in the one and six?

Speaker 3 Yeah, because that guy was...

Speaker 3 He wasn't off sides. Yeah, so I disavowed that win against the Giants.
Yeah, yeah. So we beat the Falcons.
All right, I'll put them in there.

Speaker 3 So they, so, okay.

Speaker 3 In terms of one-loss, one-win teams,

Speaker 3 they are probably not the best. No, they're second, though.
Okay, who's number one? I'd probably put the Dolphins one. But that's subject to change based on all 22.

Speaker 3 I'd say just off the top of my head, and I got to look at the statistical models that I have on my computer and everything.

Speaker 3 But right now, if I had to do it, if I called the Washington football team a one-loss team, it would go Dolphins, Washington football team,

Speaker 3 Texans, Jaguars. Okay, Ron Rivera, here's my advice to you.
Just run the fucking football. Yeah.
Just do it.

Speaker 3 Who's going to get mad at you if you go out there and you just run the ball 40 times? Yes, just go to Navy's offense. Taylor Heineke could run the triple A.
It's salute to service months.

Speaker 3 What better salute to service than to just run the ball 55 times next game? I'd love to see it. I'd love to see it.
All right.

Speaker 3 Oh, yeah. And Broncos, I don't know.
I mean,

Speaker 3 you can't like... Broncos are so bad.
They try to lose that game so many times that you can't even be like, that was a great win. No, it was not good for either either team.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 Both teams should be ashamed. Both fan bases should be ashamed for giving those teams your money.
Although, I saw that Peyton Manning was there for his ring of honor ceremony.

Speaker 3 All the Mannings are getting honored. Why do you waste your Ring of Honor ceremony against the football team? Well, because they won.
Well, because they won. Good point.

Speaker 3 Yeah, we could probably learn a thing or two and not schedule our next ceremony for the Chiefs.

Speaker 3 Probably just two days ago. Yeah, they probably just, yeah, they were like, hey, can you just, are you free? It's crazy the Broncos are and four.

Speaker 3 And I even said when they were fumbling away the game and trying to lose the game, I was like, the Broncos, what are you doing? And all these Broncos fans were replying, being like, we're not good.

Speaker 3 Yeah. We're just not a good team.
But they're four and four. Yeah.
It's crazy. I mean, they've beaten some.

Speaker 3 I think that the list of teams that the Broncos have beaten are actually funny if you say all the team names in succession.

Speaker 3 They've beaten the Giants, the Jaguars, the Jets, and the Washington football team. Yeah,

Speaker 3 that's a joke. Yeah, it's incredible.

Speaker 3 The Broncos and the Panthers are the Spider-Man meme because

Speaker 3 they're both now sitting at 4-4.

Speaker 3 And it's like insane that they're both 4-4 because the Panthers have beaten the Jets, the Saints, that counts, the Texans and the Falcons.

Speaker 3 So a reminder for you from two weeks ago to remind you that the Panthers aren't good no matter what happened the last two weeks. Okay, good.
They're not good. They're not good.
All right, last game.

Speaker 3 Great game. Bucs, Saints.
Jameis got hurt. It was very sad, although he was celebrating in the post-game locker room with his crutches, all-time clip.
I fucking love Jameis so much. It was.

Speaker 7 How would you even verbally just

Speaker 9 play it out as if someone can't see the video?

Speaker 7 Yeah, so he was.

Speaker 3 So Jameis, I think, might have torn his ACL. Billy called an LCL.

Speaker 3 He got carted off.

Speaker 3 Not carted off, but he was off. A lot of pain.
Horse collar tackle. They get the big win.

Speaker 3 The locker room looks like there's like some kind of smoke machine or something. It's like club-dub, like weird shit going on.

Speaker 3 It's everyone in their pads dancing, and then the camera flips, and it's Jameis going fucking bananas with his crutches in his hands, like Lisa Turtle doing the screech.

Speaker 3 That's a throwback that only PFC and I will know right there.

Speaker 3 I think he was playing air guitar on his crutches, which is fucking awesome.

Speaker 3 I'm actually more concerned that Jameis is going to injure himself worse being injured than he would playing in football games. Absolutely.
Because he's going to be a guy that's on the sideline.

Speaker 3 If he does have to get surgery, he's going to insist on being on the sideline day one and he's going to be trying to sprint around like hitting people on the ass with his crutches someone's probably going to fight him because he gets them too pumped up for a game the team loves jameis you could tell when he was going when he was going off like how much they love him it also was very unfortunate because jameis was certified on one today like he was making plays he was doing he tried to do the pitch 10 yards down the field the forward pitch that he like faked the guy out he was wiggling around he was doing crazy shit He was running.

Speaker 3 We need to talk a little bit more about the fake pitch play that he had because he was like 13 yards downfield. He's running with the ball.
And then there's a defender closing in on him.

Speaker 3 He pretends that he's going to granny shot style pitch the ball at the defender

Speaker 3 because there's nobody that he would be passing the ball to. So he like faked them out with a pass.
So it's actually like a genius move. Because the defender would probably put their hands up.

Speaker 3 It's not out of the world of possibility that Jameis Winston would throw an interception 15 yards downfield. Yes.
And so you have to be ready for that. And then Jameis just scoots around him.

Speaker 3 And when he got tackled, it looked like he was doing the drill again where he ran through all those arms, you know, that gauntlet thing. And he's like stumbling around.
Jameis was fucking awesome.

Speaker 3 It was so great.

Speaker 3 I'm not ashamed to say it. I almost cried when Jameis Winston got hurt.
It was very sad. When he hurts, I hurt.
Yeah. No, it sucks.

Speaker 3 I love Jameis Winston. I wish he was still with us.
Yes.

Speaker 3 He's no longer with us. Moment of silence for Jameis.

Speaker 3 All right, that's long enough. Trevor Simeon played well.
Also, the Saints just have Brady's number. I know that

Speaker 3 the Bucs beat the Saints when it mattered in the playoffs. Drew Brees' noodle arm was a large part of that.
But the Saints now, since Brady's gone to the NFC South, they're 3-1 against Tom Brady.

Speaker 3 And he looks uncomfortable playing against him. Like, that was a great defensive game for the Saints.

Speaker 3 They obviously had a couple blown, like that touchdown where no one was even on that half of the field.

Speaker 3 But it was crazy because with a minute left, I think all three timeouts or two timeouts, you're like, there's way too much time for Tom Brady. He's going to win this game.

Speaker 3 We've seen him a million times. Pick.
Like it was, it would pick six. I also think going to this game, obviously Mike Evans and CeeDee Deuce don't like each other very much.

Speaker 3 And so Bruce Arians is probably just like, if you want to kick his ass, kick his ass now, not in the playoffs.

Speaker 3 Like get it all out now. If you have to get suspended for a week, just get into a fight with him today.
Don't do it in January. Yes.
And of course they went at it.

Speaker 3 Mike Evans, like, I don't know what the Saints defenders say to Mike Evans to piss him off so much, but they do it. They're very good at it.
Yes.

Speaker 3 And I think CeeDee Deuce must just be an all-time shit talker. The Saints are a certified tough out at this point.
Yeah. Like they just play in the dome.
And they're just a hard-nosed football team.

Speaker 3 They beat you up. They tackle well.
Like, they just, I don't know, their defense is all over the place. And

Speaker 3 even their offense play, their offense plays like their defense. Like, Alvin Kamara, like, always gets the extra yards.

Speaker 3 It's violent running. So they're a decent team.
And I don't know what's going to happen if it's going to be Trevor Simeon.

Speaker 3 I know that we're going to pretend that Drew Brees is going to get a phone call. That will be funny.
He already shot that down.

Speaker 3 He said, I think Mike Tarico asked him on Football Night America, and he said, I will be broadcasting the Notre Dame game this weekend. Yeah.
So that's actually kind of a non-denial.

Speaker 3 That doesn't mean you can't play, right? Well,

Speaker 3 how are the ribs?

Speaker 3 Not good, still. Probably not that good.
Good. Yeah, not good.
I don't think that Drew Brees is coming back, but Taysom Hill should be back next week. Taysom Hill should be back.

Speaker 3 Andy Dalton is still out there available to be traded for. Is he? Yep.
Fit out. Last report.
Come and get him.

Speaker 3 I like Trevor Simeon. My only problem is he's an all-time pat the ball guy.
Yeah. Yeah, Blake.

Speaker 3 Yeah, Blake. Good call.
Blake. Imagine Blake in the big easy.
Ooh. Hell yeah.
It would work. Blake Javis in the same QB.
It would work. Blake Poncha train.
Yeah, it would work.

Speaker 3 Kevin White, one catch, 38 yards, no big deal.

Speaker 3 Also, one target. Mike Evans faked out an adult male on his touchdown celebration.
That was cool. Acted like he was going to hand it to the dude, and then instead handed it to a seven-year-old girl.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Because it's probably a lot easier to get the ball back if he needs to from the child.
Yep. But that was, yeah, big win for the Saints.
Huge win for the Saints. The Bucs are mortal.

Speaker 3 The Bucs are like,

Speaker 3 are the Bucs dirty?

Speaker 3 What do you mean dirty? Their defense, like, they beat the fuck out of people. Well, they do it after the West.

Speaker 3 That was a a horse collar. Yeah.
It was at Devin. That was Devin White.
Yeah, Devin White and Vita Ways. He wasn't even a horse collar.

Speaker 3 Hank, he's going to be thrown out of the league. Hank, Jameis might never walk again.

Speaker 3 It's disgusting. Yeah.
He should be. He got horse collar to have.
He had a horse collar.

Speaker 9 And they didn't just throw a penalty because Jameis got hurt.

Speaker 3 I bet you that Jameis is going to train in the offseason, actually, like wearing a saddle and being treated like a horse

Speaker 3 just to protect against that. God damn it.

Speaker 3 Are you going to put a jockey on? Please have a documentary about him, please. Please.
Yeah, I need all in week one, Jameis Winston. Yes.

Speaker 3 All right, let's do Football Guy of the Week.

Speaker 11 Man, I'll tell you what. When you're hungry out there, you start acting like a rookie quarterback in his first game, making bad decisions, messing up the basics, being all out of sorts.

Speaker 11 That's where Snickers comes in, man. That thing is packed.
Roasted peanuts, nugget, caramel, milk, chocolate. It's like the MVP of candy bars.

Speaker 11 And when you bite into it, boom, it sorts you out, gets your head back in the game of life, satisfying your hunger. Remember this: Snickers handles your hunger so you can handle everything else.

Speaker 11 Snickers satisfies, man. That's a winning play.

Speaker 3 Yes. All right, Billy, let's go.
Football guy of the week.

Speaker 6 So we had an awesome week eight nominees pool. Congratulations to week seven winner, Max Williams, who dressed up in his full gear while he was injured to watch the Cardinals.

Speaker 6 So he beat out some pretty good competition with Dawson Knox with a broken thumb and the high school kid who played through bleeding lungs. I do not know how he beat those two.

Speaker 3 Yeah, the guy that bit his lip and pretended that he wasn't bleeding from his lung. Yeah.

Speaker 6 So first up we have Colin Wilder, free safety for Wisconsin. So if you saw in Wisconsin's 24-7 win over Iowa, there was a grit factory hat that they were all wearing as a turnover touchdown reward.

Speaker 6 So that was Colin Wilder's Halloween costume that got incorporated into the game last minute. He was dressed up as a grit factory factory worker for his Halloween game.

Speaker 3 Do you clock in, clock out at the grit factory? I think that it's always open. It's always overtime.
Yeah. Yeah, I like that.
Check it out. Remind me, tomorrow, I want to do an NIL deal

Speaker 3 for the Grit Factory hats. Got it.
Okay.

Speaker 3 That will be sick. We're going to have Grit Factory hats soon that you can buy.
It's awesome. Yes.

Speaker 6 Our second nominee is Mark Schlerith, a retired piss dog who is quoted on saying on the broadcast.

Speaker 3 He's a big piss piss dog, right? Yeah, he is.

Speaker 3 He doesn't retire from the piss dog.

Speaker 3 Actually, if anything, when you get really old, you become a piss dog again.

Speaker 3 Okay. Resurgence.

Speaker 3 You come into this world of piss dog, you leave this world a piss dog. It's the beauty of life.

Speaker 6 He was quoted on saying in the Washington Football Team Broncos broadcast, I love football. It is the lifeblood that courses through my veins.

Speaker 7 This is awesome.

Speaker 3 And it was probably talking about a punt. Yeah.

Speaker 6 It was.

Speaker 3 It was actually during a timeout.

Speaker 6 And he was dressed up as Mr. Incredible.
So,

Speaker 6 football guy.

Speaker 6 Our third nominee is another Wisconsin player, Jack Sanborn, who said he dislocated his finger to the point where stitches were needed inside the locker room, said it was pretty gnarly, but came back because it's Iowa week.

Speaker 3 Yes. That's a fact.
Playing through pain.

Speaker 3 Shit out of Iowa.

Speaker 6 I don't know how you can dislocate your finger to need stitches because the bone comes out.

Speaker 3 Yeah, you get a compound.

Speaker 6 fracture type dislocation then they jerk it back in iowa week that's pretty gnarly but pretty awesome our fourth nominee is Jed Fish, the head coach of the University of Arizona, who said about

Speaker 6 his players, I probably tell him I love him more than my own wife on his linebacker Anthony Pandy.

Speaker 3 So

Speaker 6 football might be his true love and his players much more than his own wife. So those are our four nominees for this week.
You can vote on them on the Part of My Take Twitter.

Speaker 6 And also our bonus throwback football guy of the week.

Speaker 3 Yeah, this was Billy. Billy, you're putting in overtime workers.

Speaker 6 Well, sometimes when there's a bad crop, you need to just bring something back.

Speaker 3 So, yeah.

Speaker 3 You said before we got into it that we have an awesome crop. Yeah, but he's doing it every week.
I'm doing it every week.

Speaker 6 It's always exciting. So

Speaker 6 there was a video that was going viral this week, which is perfect because it's a viral old football guy moment.

Speaker 6 On this day in 1974, Vikings quarterback Fran Tarkinton celebrated what seemed like a game-winning touchdown by spiking the ball off Patriots quarterbacks Ron Balton's head and getting ejected after the ensuing fight.

Speaker 6 Now, this is an insane video because he scores a touchdown and then just literally turns around and takes a football and spikes a guy in the head for celebration.

Speaker 3 Imagine if Tom Wilson did that.

Speaker 9 And then the center, his center is the ultimate football guy,

Speaker 9 the quarterback and the cornerback on the fight, and then the center just comes out of nowhere and just starts bulldozing people to get, you know, protect his quarterback.

Speaker 3 It was insane.

Speaker 6 And it was actually kind of warranted because you can't really see in the video, but the cornerback tried to step on his heels after he scored the touchdown, trying to get a little extra action, which caused

Speaker 3 it. Yeah.
By the way, do you think that if Patrick Mahomes threw that left-handed interception that Carson went through, everybody would be going nuts of what a smart play it was.

Speaker 3 Great pick six. Yes, yes.

Speaker 3 Yeah. And those are football guys.
Okay. Good job, Billy.
Good job, Billy. Thank you.
I'm proud of you. All right, let's wrap up.

See out for details.

Speaker 3 Also, I forgot one thing to say about the Patriots Chargers game. Sad, I mentioned this guy last week.
He's doing sad stats for us. Jeff Henderson, great.
Like, go follow him. Great, sad stats.

Speaker 3 Jacoby Myers,

Speaker 3 there's never been a wide receiver like Jacoby Myers in that he has played three years in the NFL, 126 receptions, 1,478 yards, has yet to catch a touchdown. Wow.
Has not caught a touchdown.

Speaker 3 I think we've got to start betting him to catch a touchdown every single week. I like it too.
Has never caught a touchdown. He leads the

Speaker 3 tweet that he sent me, he made a graph.

Speaker 3 He leads the, he's like far and away, like 3x

Speaker 3 the

Speaker 3 wide receiver end zone virgins with the most blue balls. That's Jacoby Myers.
That's incredible. He has not.

Speaker 3 I bet there were some players on those Chiefs teams back from like 2015 where Alex Smith went like two years without throwing a touchdown. They already had been in the league.
Right.

Speaker 3 He's never ever caught a touchdown. I'm just saying there was probably like one rookie one of those years.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 But that's a lot of catches.

Speaker 3 126 receptions, not a single touchdown catch. Let's get him one.
Yeah, we're going to start betting on him. Let's get him a touchdown.
All right.

Speaker 3 Hank.

Speaker 9 My who's back was OJ. We We talked about that already.
My other who's back, which we already kind of talked about, was just my back, backs in general. A lot of AWLs, a lot of people reaching out.

Speaker 9 There's a lot of people telling me they've gone through similar experiences. Sucks.

Speaker 9 And not one single person was giving me any type of positive, like, you know, it's fair because they're just being honest with me, but it's like, I'm in pain. I can't move.

Speaker 9 I mentioned that online, and everyone's like, yeah, dude, it sucks. Like, good luck for the next two weeks.
Like, you're just going to be miserable.

Speaker 3 The best part about having a back injury, Hank, is it's going to be like that forever. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Yep. I already gave him that speech.
Yeah. Also,

Speaker 3 not to hurt your feelings, but I told Dave when he was like, Where's Hank during the Patriots game? I was like, He threw out his back, and he goes, How old is he?

Speaker 9 Yeah, no, I mean, I agreed to that. I feel the same way.

Speaker 3 I'm too

Speaker 3 bright spot is that if you do the exercises, Big Cat fixed my back. Yep.
To the point where if I do these exercises like five days a week, I actually don't feel bad.

Speaker 3 But if I miss them for two or three days, I wake up feeling like my back's on fire. So just do the exercises.

Speaker 9 Gonna become a yogi.

Speaker 3 No, you're not. Yeah, but that's it.
Just do like these three exercises that will strengthen your core a little bit, and you won't throw out your back.

Speaker 9 It's a targeted ad.

Speaker 3 These three new tricks. Yeah.
Lay on this thing.

Speaker 3 Piece of plastic. Doctors hate it.
Yeah. All right, PFC, your who's back?

Speaker 3 My who's back is Arch Manning. Oh.
Arch Manning's back this week. He went to Clemson.
So he's doing his college tour.

Speaker 3 They're all unofficial visits, though, meaning that the Manning family is paying for them. They've got a lot of money, those Mannings.

Speaker 3 And so Arch is going to a different college every week, getting all the stops pulled out for him, so they treat him like he's a celebrity. This weekend, he went to Clemson.

Speaker 3 Dabo Swinney made his pitch to him. But I think we need to have the conversation around Arch Manning.
Have you seen the teams that he plays against in high school? Why?

Speaker 3 Have you seen any of the highlights? Well, yeah, I have because Billy always puts his games on. He

Speaker 3 they look like they're tiny people that he plays against. Are they even the same age?

Speaker 7 It's private school, right?

Speaker 6 So his league isn't like IMG Academy, like top quality competition. He's like, from what Ben Mintz has described to me, that his league's a little like, it's kind of mid-tier.

Speaker 3 Okay. He's playing mids.
He's playing mids, and I've noticed that he's very good with his feet. I've seen him go on a couple long scrambles.
Is he going to be quarterback?

Speaker 3 Are we sure that Arch Manning is a quarterback?

Speaker 7 Because remember, Cooper was a wide receiver.

Speaker 3 He's a wide receiver, yeah.

Speaker 3 What if a team is like, hey, listen, Arch, we see you as being an elite wide receiver in college? Yes. Would he ever do that? Probably not.
Is he uncoachable? Some are saying.

Speaker 6 I'd see you as 40 because he might just be fast for that league.

Speaker 3 That's what I'm saying. It's impossible to evaluate.
It does look like he's playing against sixth graders sometimes. He's so much bigger than everybody else.

Speaker 3 Is he a bust? Is Arch Manning a bust? Probably.

Speaker 3 Let's have the discussion.

Speaker 6 No, because he's lost in high school, which I think is important for a quarterback's progression. Good point.

Speaker 3 Good point. Losing it.
I'm serious. Yeah, I know.
I know.

Speaker 6 Guys who don't lose in high school, they don't pan out. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Trevor Lawrence. I want him to go somewhere.

Speaker 3 All these bad players. He can't go to Clemson.
Don't go to Clemson. Yeah, don't.
That would not be fun. I want him to go to Texas.

Speaker 3 Omiss would be fun because it would just be like they're not going to.

Speaker 3 I want him to go somewhere where

Speaker 3 he won't have the most loaded team every year. I want him to go somewhere where he wants to go.
I'm team arts. He should go.
What if he goes to just like some small liberal arts college?

Speaker 3 Like he goes to Reed. He goes to Reed and just gets high.
Yeah. That would be fun.

Speaker 3 Jackson State, yes. We are recruiting him, bro.
We are recruiting them actively.

Speaker 3 Take an unofficial visit to Jackson State. Yeah.
Arch. My Who's Back of the Week is Bashing Candy Corn.
It's back. So this is the season.

Speaker 3 There's two seasons that you get to just take out the old reliable online for instant retweets. It's Peeps around Easter and Candy Corn around Halloween.

Speaker 3 I never thought Candy Corn was as bad as everyone says it is. I don't think it's good, but it is always funny when everyone's like, you know what really sucks? Candy corn.
I agree. Oh, wow.

Speaker 3 You gave us something original. Candy corn's fine.

Speaker 3 It's okay. I said,

Speaker 3 I like one handful of candy corn a year. Candy corn's fine.
That's perfect. Peeps are good, too.

Speaker 3 One handful. I don't like actively seek out candy corn.
Yeah, no, if you have a bowl, I will take one handful and then be like, you know what? It's almost like

Speaker 3 swimming when we watch swimming every four years. Like, that's enough swimming for four years.
One handful of candy corn, that's enough candy corn for the whole year.

Speaker 3 Sometimes I fuck around with a little candy pumpkins, too. Oh, wow.
Which are, I think those are the same exact ingredients. I think it's the same thing.
Yeah, but they taste different.

Speaker 3 You can say, oh, those one tastes like pumpkins. They taste different.

Speaker 9 Yeah. Olympics and back, only 100 days till the winter Olympics.

Speaker 3 Oh, thank God. Goodie.
That's a lot. Good easy.

Speaker 9 That's a lot.

Speaker 9 A little amount of time.

Speaker 3 Is Lolo Jones playing? Is she doing the winner? The bob sled? I don't know. She's like a world champion bob sleddis.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 By the way, way, I just realized you draw your back on

Speaker 3 Bob Slettis. Like when everyone's going out for Halloween, that's very sad.

Speaker 9 I mean, I was going to the movies, so I don't think that matters.

Speaker 3 So it was already sad. I guess.

Speaker 3 Did you watch the movie that you were going to go out and watch at home?

Speaker 9 I was going to spite. Well, yeah, I tried to spite watch it because I was so mad at myself for hurting my back trying to go to the movies by myself, which now sounds sadder now that Big Cat said that.

Speaker 3 No, I didn't mean to do that.

Speaker 9 And then I was like, all right, I'm going to watch the movie. And then I fell asleep during it.

Speaker 3 Did you guys dress up for Halloween? Jake and Billy? What were you, Billy? A football player?

Speaker 6 No,

Speaker 6 I was Woody from Toy Story.

Speaker 3 Oh, nice. Jake? And not Buzz Lightyear? That's an all-time mess on your part, Billy.
The Woody. You are such a moron.
No, but

Speaker 3 the Woody costume is so much easier to put together.

Speaker 3 Yeah, hat, a vest? Yeah, a hat, a vest, gun.

Speaker 3 Did you walk around with a badge?

Speaker 6 I did not have a gun or a badge.

Speaker 3 Okay, sure.

Speaker 3 Just call me Major. It is so much easier to just throw together i went as woody if he was uh if instead of being a cop he got drafted into the united states marine corps

Speaker 3 uh jake where were you i went as blake bortles really yeah i brought you a picture i don't have any pictures what do you mean i just don't have any pictures damn let's see what was your blake bortles costume a blake bortles jersey from the studio that i borrowed all right that's it you didn't shave your head no you didn't put on a skin-colored yarmulke

Speaker 3 that would have been funny yeah that actually would have been good next year. Okay.

Speaker 3 Jake, why don't you go with your who's back? And then Billy will wrap it up. The Who's Back of the Week is Maxion.
He's back this week.

Speaker 3 We see this streak every year.

Speaker 3 Starting Friday was the beginning of 27 straight days of college or NFL football. Great time of year.
Very good time of year, yeah.

Speaker 3 Also, we're going to, I'm cooking up an awesome sweatshirt where it's essentially

Speaker 3 the sweatshirt bets might be cursed. So it's going to be, you can bet any of the games.
I think there's five games this week: three on Tuesday, two on Wednesday. You can bet all five if you want.

Speaker 3 If you win even one bet, you get the sweatshirt. So it's an unbelievable deal.
You only get one sweatshirt. You can't go like five and all and get five, but it's going to be awesome.

Speaker 3 So tune in for that. Billy.

Speaker 3 I actually have a bunch of stuff. Okay.

Speaker 6 Steve Ushemi is who's back because he just dressed up as the How You Doing fellow kids meme.

Speaker 6 So that was pretty cool. It was.
Jake Paul's fighting again in December.

Speaker 6 tommy fury so he's back uh curses are back uh everyone who's appeared on the manning uh broadcast has lost i was gonna say tom brady right yeah tom brady lost everyone else lost um

Speaker 6 who else is back josh allen is back he's like this i mean he's not actually back these are just some stats i wrote down so uh josh allen is uh tied with cam newton for the most uh rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in their first 50 games with 28.
