Today is Monday, October 18th, week six. We start in foggy London town, home of Tua Lipa and the Dolphins, who are levitating just above really fucking shitty.
James Slob on my Robinson and Marvin Jones Jr. Soprano put their noses in the box and help the pussies come back in the game.
Come on down to the win column, Urban Meyer. The price is Matthew Wright as the Jags get their first victory overseas.
Jacksonville 23, Miami 20. And back stateside in Detroit where Dan Campbell's chunky chicken soup for the soul tried to fire up the Lions to a victory.
Chase had a performance that was, in a word, remarkable, with four catches and 97 yards. That's cash, boom.
Trey Christina Hendrickson ran around with his hair on fire, making Pete Dan Campbell a madman. Don't look now, but Joe Churro is looking like a snack again, as the Cinnamon Cincinnati Bengals improved to 4-2.
The Bengals 34, the Lions 11. To the Meadowlands where the Giants welcome back Tom Turnier Head and Coughlin and Arch Manning's uncle, Kadarius Tony the Tiger was great for the first drive as the Giants continue to be the walking wounded.
The Rams made a pit stop at Cracker Darryl Henderson and ate a Cooper cup of chili as they blew out the Giants. Rams 38, the G-Men 11.
What? What? In Chicago, where Darnell Jackie Mooney scored a touchdown to prove he was more than a semi-pro, but the Packers once again were able to submit a bear in the ring. Khalil Fortune Herbert solved the puzzle that is the Packers defensive line, but aspiring game show host Aaron Rodgers disclosed his financial holdings declaring ownership of the entire city of Chicago.
The more things changed, the more they stayed the same. The Packers, 24.
The Bears, 14. Boomer, sounded like you had some cinnamon and cinatti in your throat.
The entire city of Cincinnati, Cinnacago. Terrell John, Maryland, where Ricky Sealer, no seal Jones, opened up a case to show a touchdown.
Welcome to Diami. Bienvenido a Diami had three catches, but it wasn't enough as Tyreek,reek Capitol Hill and the Chiefs got right.
Patrick Mahomes overcame two interceptions to get his team a much-needed win, and we have Patrick on the sidelines to tell us about the game. Patrick.
Yeah, you know, I was real tickled pink with how we played in the second half. I made a couple doy-doy plays in the first half out there.
Well, I'm very proud of my brother Jackson. He did a great dance before the game.
Always good to see the boys get out there and have a little fun doing some shenanigans before a game starts. Right now, I'm just looking ahead and taking one game at a time.
And January 2nd, we'll be going to Cinnamon Snatty. And that's certainly one that we've had scheduled and circled on our calendars.
Chiefs 31, Washington football team 13. Thank you, Patrick.
Down south to Charlotte, where Chuba Hubba Bubba Hubbard chewed on some gum in the end zone, but it was Kirk Cousins who had a bazooka of a day with three touchdowns. Fantasy owner said, I got a peaceful, easy feeling, and I know a player who will let me down.
It's Christian McCaffrey, and he's wearing a hospital gown. Every Vikings game is a trip on the crazy train as KJ Ozzy Osbourne scores a touchdown in OT to show the victory.
The Vikings 34, the Panthers 28. In mile high where rich homie Kwon Basickia flexed in his first game as a head coach telling his team, living like a volcano, Josh Eagle, Derek Hall, and it's the only beginning of the lifestyle.
Henry just says no to Ruggs, got a mile high and smoked a Broncos secondary. Kenyon Drake's the type of dude who will put up numbies when he's on your bench in fantasy, but he's still hard in the DMs.
Meg Brian Edwards and the Raiders said, you've got mail, as the Raiders win a big one 34-24. In New England, where Kendrick, born in the USA, is a true patriot, scoring a late touchdown to put his team ahead, but Ezekiel Elliott and the Cowboys were born to run.
It was an axe-throwing competition as Mack and Dak traded scores. In overtime, the Cowboys said, CD's nuts, and wham, bam, thank you, lamb, scored to win the game, and Bill Bell and Chapstick couldn't do anything but stand and watch while his lips bled everywhere.
The Cowboys, 35, the Patriots, 29. We finish in Cleveland where welcome to the Odell, California.
Such a lovely case. Such a lovely case.
As Keenum came in relief of Baker, Ray J. Green put out some good film as Kareem Kardashian Hunt got his back blown out.
It's actually his calf. Boom.
Thoughts and prayers. Mercury Morris is in retrograde as the 72 Dolphins can't pop that bubbly just yet as the Cardinals.
The Cardinals? Huh? Huh? Huh? The Arizona Cardinals? The Arizona Cardinals? Huh? Improved to 6-0. Cardinals 37.
Browns 14. When your home system or appliance breaks down, American Home Shield will help fix or replace the covered item, no matter its age.

All right, week six in the books. We are currently watching Steelers-Seahawks with five minutes to play.
We will update that after that game goes final. So we will talk about that as soon as the game goes final.
This welcome to the show. This is officially Loserville.
Yeah, we suck. We are losers.
We all just have made a series of poor decisions in our life that have brought us to this week of football, and it's not good, buddy. Here.
Okay, so we're going to get into all the games. We're going to recap all the games.
But this happens, and everyone needs to just remember this happens. So if you are similar to us right now living in Loserville, your team stinks.
Your picks stink. The games weren't that good this week, and that's okay.
There's always an off week in the NFL. Like got to the witching hour, and there was pretty much nothing going on besides the Vikings and Panthers game.
And then in the night games, obviously the Cowboys and Patriots was a great game, but the other twos were kind of stinkers. It was just a down week, and that's okay.
It happens. We need to have perspective.
We've got to learn from it. We've got to watch film got to circle the wagons.
We got to count on football. Football owes us after today.
You know what this was? This was just going into some good debt for football. We're showing that we will still be here when it sucks.
They need to pay us back, the football gods. If you don't love football, football won't love you back.
Exactly. We're going to say, Hank.
And we have an extra week this year. So it's like we were due for one of these no matter what.
Yeah, this was bonus football. Yeah, this was the extra week.
These always happen, though. There's like two or three weekends of the football season that you can point to every single year where it feels like everything goes against you.
Now, it happened that everything went against everyone in this room all at the same time so it's uh it's extra special loserville edition of part of my take but everyone knows this feeling because it happens you'll have that one or two sundays a year where you're like does do i really want to do this do i want like this this hurts this this is not fun on a personal financial whatever level it's not fun but you got to just bounce back you got to get off the you've got to figure out a way to put one foot in front of the other, and you know, I don't know, just figure it out. You hear what I'm saying right now? It's false confidence.
I'm trying to pump myself up. I'm like the cowardly lion.
You know what I think is going to happen? I think we're going to have a great Monday night football game. There we go.
Josh Allen. He has to save football.
Josh Allen saves football. Actually, you know what? One of our teams didn't lose this weekend.
The Jets. Oh yeah, the Jets.
Congrats, Billy. The bi-week won.
Mr. INC, bi-week was heavily favored.
We'll get you through no interceptions this weekend. That's a fact.
Zach Wilson. As we're saying this too, there's a Seahawks player that is very, very injured, which makes me even sadder because football just doesn't love anything right now but yeah let's get into the games let's let's recap we'll put on a brave face we'll we'll go through everything can I just say right off the top I need you guys to carry me on this one yeah I'm I'm hurting well I need you to carry me I'm physically okay I'm spiritually hurting he's not he's not heavy he's my brother yeah that's what they say right you're physically I'm spiritually broken I need one footprint heavy.
He's my brother. Yeah.
That's what they say, right? You're physically. I'm spiritually broken.
I need one footprint in the sand right now. I need that sort of moment.
I need to find God. Okay.
Because, unfortunately, what Aaron Rodgers does to me twice a year is that he is God. It's borderline criminal.
He's God. All right.
Are we going to start there? No, we're not starting there. Let's ease our way into it.
We've got to start in London. We've got to start in London.
I feel like it might be good for you to just get it all out. No, I'm going to ease my way into it.
I'm going to ease my way into it. Let's start in London.
Jaguars, Dolphins. Did you know, I didn't know this until today, which is incredible, that the Jaguars got all the way to week six without making a field goal in a game.
No, I didn't know that. Yes.
Did they even have a kicker? They did. I think their initial kicker, Lambeau, got hurt, and then they brought in Matthew Wright, who ended up.
So this is how weird the Jaguars' season is. They're 0-5 going into this game.
They have Urban Meyer putting his finger up every chick's butt. They can't do anything well on the field, even when it looks like they might win a game.
They don't, and no one's on the same page. They go to London.
They're 0-4 in field goal attempts this year, and then they have Matthew Wright be the first player kicker in NFL history to make multiple 50-yarders in the last four minutes of a fourth quarter. It's incredible.
It's fucking crazy. Great job by Urban Meyer.
We need to congratulate him when he does things correctly.

He got a win.

It's been, what, two weeks since he's fingered a young woman's butthole?

Yep.

So he's on a hot streak.

Gooch, it was more the gooch.

So you have to look at it.

It's like putting perspective with the Ravens streak that they had

where it was, you know, what, 44 games in a row?

Yep.

The 100-yard rusher?

Yep.

Urban Meyer's knuckles have been clean for about a fortnight. That's true.
At he's a reformed man give him respect on that one uh but yeah the kicks were actually kind of crazy because they had little mason crossbar movement on them did you see that yeah so they they bent they bent inside they've been in the right direction we've seen some funny things with the kicker balls this year yep this guy matthew wright might just be the guy that's mastered the new kicking ball. You know how in the World Cup, once every two or three World Cups, FIFA just introduces a ball that's impossible to save? But there's always one person who can command it that understands how to kick it correctly.
That's what's going on. He knows how to kick these new balls.
It's also very like, the game was crazy because they had, there was a moment in the game where the Jaguars were up 17-13 in field goal range, went for it on fourth down not to make it a seven point game. The Dolphins then scored a touchdown, so Jaguars needed a field goal to tie it, a field goal to win it.
It's just insane that that happened, that they were 0-4, then they get Matthew Wright, makes two bomb kicks, Urban Meyer gets in the win column. The Jaguars get rid of that tweet that's just been out there from last year when they won their first game of the season, and they said not satisfied with 1-0, and then lost 20 straight games.
That's gone. Trevor Lawrence looked good.
Trevor Lawrence, I mean, he's going to be good. I'm pretty confident now that Trevor Lawrence, especially, like, we should actually, like, my column, Trevor Lawrence is actually the greatest rookie quarterback of all time, given the circumstances.
Oh, I like that. Given the fact that his coach is the horniest guy in the world.
Yeah. The team stinks.
Well, he also gets saying, like, he hadn't won before. Yep.
And you could say he's doing a great job at losing. Yeah.
You know what he's doing? He's providing a steady hand. And he's guiding this franchise during a tumultuous time when they don't have a leader.
And he came from a college where he didn't lose and also had probably the least horny coach. Yes.
I would say Davos Swinney doesn't fuck. No.
I'm very confident in that. Definitely not.
Definitely not. Maybe once a year after the college football committee puts Clemson into the Final Four.
No, he's like, he looks down and he's like, my penis is a distraction. Yes.
I don't like this. I need to get out there and start recruiting again.
But it was, I mean, it wasn't a memorable game. I think the most memorable part of this game was the fan that ran on the field.
Yeah. Look, now there's a card out's it's just bad vibes bad vibes on a sunday night but i hope this player is okay um so there's a fan that ran on the field to start the game the i so he tapped up the entire the entire squad it was great it was great our our good friend uncle chaps uh wants us to stop saying that the jaguars should move to london so here's saying I will never say that again.
Okay. But I would like to say as one last thing, the Jaguars being London's team is very, very funny because of the fans dressing up.
That picture of the guy and the dolphin, like the full, he was just, actually, I don't want to say guy because he might have just been a dolphin. They might have just had a dolphin sitting in the stands next to a fully face-painted Jaguars fan.
There's something about that matchup. I hope they play it every year in London because the fans dress up and they look ridiculous.
The only thing I wish that they would add to it is bring back the gradient helmets that they used to have. They're like multicolored for that game for the Jaguars.
Let them do that. Maybe give them a color rush game as a treat.
Have them do the electric mustard ones. But yeah, I actually like the Dolphins wearing candy-ass uniforms when they're overseas.
Yes. Because, okay, you're in a soccer country.
Right. You get to wear the candy-ass stuff right now.
Right. I noticed Urban during the last couple minutes of the game, when they were attempting the kicks, that we're going to take him into overtime and then the game winner, he doesn't even look when his team is kicking a potential game-winning field goal.
Give him a migraine. I don't think he enjoys any part of football.
No. I think he just likes being out of the house.
He did say he was going to remember this one for the rest of his life. Yeah, it's going on the coffee table.
His first win, yep. His first win in the NFL.
Yep. In London.
Add this to the coffee table. I saw him after the game, and he was giving his post-game speech.
The sound was off, but I could see him gesturing with his fingers, and I'm pretty sure he was doing the exact same. No, no.
Not that way? No, not that way. I'm pretty sure he was doing the exact same speech that they gave in Major League when they're like, that's one game.
Now we try to win two games in a row. Right.
Then if we can win they call that a winning streak. I think that's actually what he was.
He was like trying to joke with his team. They're checked out, though.
Yeah. I mean, it's more indictment on the Dolphins and where they currently are at.
The Tua thing is a problem. So I will say that I don't really understand what the Dolphins were tua he had a weird rib protector he's coming back from injury they threw the ball he threw the 47 times which was one of the most that he's ever had to do in the nfl i just don't like i i know we've gone through this last year went back and forth with with dolphins fans i think most dolphins fans are now starting to see it that maybe he's not the guy.

And the Deshaun Watson watch officially, I feel like, is on right now

because I think the trade deadline is, what, week eight?

So it's kind of a now or never situation,

and it feels like they will probably take a run at him

because I don't think Chua's the guy.

He's a nice guy.

People disagree on my Dolphins Twitter timeline. What, they think Chua's still the guy? They think it's on the coaching.
They think it's on everyone else. I thought he had a good game besides that one pick.
It just feels like every time he has even a little bit of pressure, it all falls apart. I mean, not saying 100% healthy definitely plays a factor.
Yeah, when you have a guy that is a wait-and-see guy, those are the worst guys. Those are the guys that 10 years from now, 15 years from now, you look back and you're like, well, we really wasted three years.
That's pretty much what happened with them at Tannehill. He was very average with them.
I was going to say Tannehill is the one example of the wait-and-see guy where it was actually like, okay, I guess he's good. I guess we wait and saw, and he's good.
And he's good. He finally took the step forward.
You're right. Tua's first drive was

really, really good. And then he had another really

good drive somewhere in the middle of the game.

But his first scripted drive was very good.

And I, you know, obviously

Dolphins fans will be like, well, dude, you

backed Mitch for four years.

Well, the difference, I would say, is that

the Bears were actually like a good team for a

while there. You know what I mean? Not because of

Mitch, but it's a little different when you have a competitive

team and you kind of see

things a little differently when you win games. When you

We'll be right back. the Bears were actually like a good team for a while there.
You know what I mean? Not because of Mitch, but it's a little different when you have a competitive team and you kind of see things a little differently when you win games. When you lose games, it definitely clouds it.
Maybe Tua will get better. I don't know.
I just think that, and yeah, it's only his second year. Seeing Herbert be Herbert.
Yeah, you're kind of going through what I went through with Mahomes and Watson, where it's like, fuck, this sucks. Because you're watching the two guys that got taken around him and being like, well, that looks nice.
I just don't know. I guess where I landed is the fact that the Dolphins are even considering Deshaun Watson tells you that they might not think two as a guy.
Exactly. Things have to get pretty bad to be like, yeah, well, how many dozens of women have accused him?

Yeah.

Only two?

Okay, only two dozen.

Yeah, we can work with that.

I'm fine with waiting and seeing because it honestly doesn't affect me whatsoever.

Right, with Tua, I'm okay with the two.

We can wait and see.

You know the wait and see guys.

They will ruin your franchise because you're like, I think this guy can be good.

If we get stability around him, have him have the same offensive coordinator for two years in a row, Jason Campbell was the ultimate wait and see guy. This guy will eventually be good.
If we get stability around him, have him have the same offensive coordinator for two years in a row, Jason Campbell was the ultimate wait-and-see guy. This guy will eventually be good.
By the way, just a quick update from the game. A very significant injury, so we hope this player's okay.
Who is it? It looks bad. I don't know, but it looks really, really bad.
So I hope everything's okay. They've had two commercials.
People are crying. Yeah, it doesn't look good.
But back to Tua. The only other thing I'd say is that, and this is going to sound offensive, maybe.
I don't know. I'll probably have a whole community come after me.
I do think when your wait and see guy and your guy that might not be very good is also a lefty. I don't know.
I really do think lefties... I think we've heard players say that it's different catching a ball from a lefty.
Right, so Belichick with the left-footed punters. Yeah, there's been good lefty quarterbacks, but I do think that maybe that is very old school of me to reduce it to be like, lefty, I don't want them, but kind of lefty, I don't want them.
Well, lefties look sweet when they're in college. When they're throwing the ball that has the stripes on it.
Right. And then in the NFL lefties just look weird.
Lefties look awesome when they're dribbling behind their back in basketball. I don't trust lefties.
I think back in the day like if you were a lefty you were a witch right? Yes. That's actually a fact.
I think my son might be a lefty. Well I was going to say you should actually but you should lean into that.
You are a lefty? Yeah. You are? Ew.
As a righty, I just want a righty coming in peace. You are? That's weird, Jake.
You right with your left? I throw and shoot my left. But you don't right with your left.
If I was a quarterback, I'd be a left-handed quarterback. And you would stink.
Yeah, I will say, though, basketball is completely different, but much better looking shot. But left-handed quarterbacks never look good.
Like the LSU, I was saying this at the LSU game because they have a left-handed quarterback, and I was just like, you have no confidence with a left-handed quarterback. It's just not the same.
You just can't have to be your wait-and-see guy. It must be harder to teach that guy too, right? Because you have to get a left-handed quarterback teacher.
Otherwise you have to do you. Otherwise, they just show you everything backwards.

Alright, so I just googled best left-handed

quarterbacks. Tim Tebow is the first

hit. Okay, not a great start.

Scott Mitchell, Mark Brunel,

Michael Vick, Steve Young,

Boomer Siason, Ken Stabler.

Yeah,

I just, I don't know. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Jake. If you ever

thought you were going to be a lefty quarterback.

I've just always thought lefties

are weird.

What are the thingsy lefty? Yep. The hefty lefty, RIP, hell of a guy.
But yeah, listen, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I apologize. Tim Tebow obviously wrote that list, right? Yeah, Tim Tebow wrote that list.
He's blogging now. Steve Young, very good quarterback.
But it still looks weird. It just does.
I don't know what it is. It is weird.
And yeah, I think if the wait and see guy is a lefty, that's just like one other data point that you have to be like, there's something weird about him. Right.
My data. I'm rooting for Tua, but yeah, that's where I landed.
We should also give credit to the new punter on the Jaguars. Or maybe, he might not be the new punter.
I think he's been their punter, but he just had a baby two days before the game. Yes, we got updated.
New baby alert. So I think he was probably the holder for those kicks, right? So that's why there was a little extra magic on the ball.
Yeah, that's why those kicks went through. So Jaguars get their first win.
Dolphins in a complete spiral. Did Shad Khan take the yacht over there? Because that used to always be a story whenever the Jaguars would go over to London.
It would be like, Shad Khan is going to leave a month early and just sail across the Atlantic Ocean and park his yacht in London. Magellan, yeah.
Yeah, so I don't know if he's there. Maybe he'll take Urban Meyer back.
Maybe he'll... That'd be funny if he just pushed him into the Atlantic Ocean on the way back.
I was like, I don't know. I just woke up in the morning.
He wasn't here anymore. He's not here.
Yeah, can't prove that. All prove that uh all right next up again we're easing our way into it so one more and then we'll ease our way into it but bengals lions um dan campbell's broken he's a broken man unfortunately i want to say dan campbell's a broken man he cried last week i thought they would have a bounce back from the cry they did not have a bounce back from the cry the bengals whooped them and not only did they whoop them but dan campbell the guy i never thought dan campbell would be a sad field goal guy dan campbell's a sad field goal guy they kicked a field goal down 27 nothing with eight minutes left okay i'm that's a sad field goal i'm okay with kicking the field goal to get some points so that you don't get shut out because you can build on that.
It's tough. But it's sad.
It's a sad thing to send your special teams out when you're down 27 nothing in the fourth quarter and be like, go on out there guys, kick that field goal. Maybe he knew people that took the over and he was trying to do them a favor.
And then the then the best is i think that dan campbell in his like football guy-ish life realized that the sad field goal was spitting in the face of the football gods because he then down 38 11 with a little more than two minutes left burned all his timeouts to try to get the ball back okay and 34 11 right 34 11 you. That's it.
He wanted to kick more sad field goals. And also, you could just be like, you know what? Anthony Lynn called that play.
That does remind me of an old Anthony Lynn bird brain play. Yeah.
To kick that. But it's just, you know the sad field goal.
It's just, it makes everyone feel sad. Even the Lions fans were in the background of the field goal.
All of them were just flipping off the camera like, this is sad. What are we doing here? It just bums you out when a team does that.
The sad field goal isn't as bad as a sad punt, though. Yeah, you're right.
If you're getting your ass kicked and it's halfway through the fourth quarter, let's say you're on your own 20-yard line and it's fourth and 17. Yeah, you're going to punt.
It's not going to help anything to punt, but maybe it'll take them a couple more plays to get back into your end zone afterwards. You're just trying to make it so they don't score immediately when they get the ball back.
But everybody involved knows that it's not going to be good. Yeah, the sad punt, I would agree.
But the sad field goal, I just didn't think Dan Campbell would be that guy. The, you know, the Lions have been bad, but they've fought.
And that was such a white flag. Like, what are we doing here? I think it's just one of those pride things.
Not having a shutout means a lot to a guy like Dan Campbell. If you tell Dan Campbell you're going to go to the stadium and not score any points at all, like Dan, that would make him cry.
That would make him spontaneously combust. No one wants to go to work environment like that so he i think he was just looking out for the guys being like hey you know you fought till the end that's what he was going to say if you look at our graph on when our points were scored we actually improved as the game went on when so my question is and we'll get to the bangles in a second oh When are we officially on 0-17 watch with the Lions?

I don't think we're there yet.

I don't, but that was a really bad game today.

And they have, I'm looking at their schedule right now,

there aren't a ton of winnable games left. You have a double revenge game next week.

Against the Rams.

Zapper versus Goff.

Yes, that's right.

But there aren't a ton of winnable games left on the schedule for them. They have the Eagles at home.
Yeah, that one maybe. Maybe.
At the Steelers, at the Browns. I mean, they play the Bears Thanksgiving Day.
Who knows? But they're not playing the Jets. They're not playing the Jaguars.
They're not playing the Texans. So I'm getting a little nervous, and I love Dan Campbell.
I want Dan Campbell to succeed. If Dan Campbell goes 0-17 as a coach after going 0-16 as a player, that would be the first coach to ever lose 17 games.
But he did it as a player, too, with the Lions. That would make me incredibly sad.
That would make me sadder than a sad field goal. God gives his hardest struggles to his toughest shoulders, right? Yeah, and he was very angry in the postgame, which, you know, he's got the fight.
He wants to keep fighting. It's just sad.
But alright, so let's talk about the Bengals, because the Bengals, we were having the debate during the game. I think the Bengals have graduated from not bad, and they're inching very close to good.
The Bengals right now, if you're grading them on a curve scale of the Bengals' expectations, this is the best Bengals team of all time. The Bengals are absolutely dominating everyone's perception of what they think that the Bengals are.
So on that curve, they're a very good team. When you compare them to other football teams...
Yeah, that's what I was doing. I was saying, so they just maybe last week or the week

before, officially

got their cap and gown and

walked through graduation

of the not bad teams.

And now they're in school.

They're getting their masters in maybe a good

team. And who knows? They could

maybe become a good team.

Their defense plays

like, their defense, and the Lions

offense has problems, but they were

lights out in the first half. I think the Lions

Thank you. maybe become a good team.
Their defense plays, like, their defense, and the Lions offense has problems, but they were lights out in the first half. I think the Lions had, like, 60 yards total of offense in the first half.
Joe Burrow, we love him. They can do a lot of, like, they have good running game, good receivers.
So, yeah, I think they might get close to being good. I'm officially ready to declare today, at 4-2, they're second in the AFC North, as we stand right now, the Cincinnati Bengals are good-ish.
Good-ish. Okay, yeah.
They're a good-ish football team. That means they just finished year one of law school.
Yeah. Of good.
Yeah. Which is the hardest year.
No, they're working. They're putting in some part-time, getting paid paralegal dues right right now they're working 80 hours a week and getting paid nothing and they're like i love this this is a great decision i i'm so happy i decided to be a lawyer yeah shout out the lawyers who are listening this right now because they know that pain and hourly charge they're like this this sucks yeah so i'm looking at the bengal schedule moving forward they um i'm ready to say it i think the bengals are to be a 500-ball club.
So next week is going to be the big test. So next week is going to be, well, tie.
They're going to get a tie. 8-8-1.
Yep, 8-8-1. They're going to be a 500-ball club.
They do have the tie energy, always. Yeah, they can tie anybody.
Actually, the Patriots and the Bengals are kind of existing on similar planes right now, where the Bengals can tie anyone. The Patriots should have beat any team in this league.
Yes, or should have lost any team. Or should have lost.
Yeah, it goes both ways. But the Bengals have it set up perfectly where they get a huge, huge test next week at the Ravens.
If they beat the Ravens, they're officially graduated to good. That's going to be a tie.
I think they're going to tie the Ravens. But the nice thing about their schedule is they play the Ravens next week, which is going to be an enormous test, and then they play the Jets the week after, which will be a nice bounce back no matter what.
Like, if you suck against the Ravens, you have the Jets as kind of like, there's always money in the banana stand. Yeah, it's a little Bloody Mary game.
Right. It's like, okay, you fix it up.
You win out hard, and then this is just going to ease you back into playing football. Right, right.
So yeah, the Bengals, credit to the Bengals, because listen, beating bad teams, you still get credit for beating bad teams. Yep.
You do. All right.
One more before we get to the other stuff. Colts-Texans.
So here's the other thing we found out about today. The Texans are truly terrible.
So they did a little rope-a-dope on us this year because they won week one against the Jaguars. And any team that wins week one, you're like, ooh, this could be something.
And then they lost. They played tough against the Browns, and they played tough against the Patriots.
So they did just enough mirage where you're like, hey, man, the Texans are kind of frisky. They won't roll over.
No, no, no. They stink.
They're a really bad team. It's a big rollover game.
We had a little flash of Davis Mills last week in that first half. Then he turned back into Davis Mills.
So I think we have a pretty good feeling of what Davis Mills is right now, and that's a guy that loses 3-31 to the Indianapolis Colts. Yes, that actually makes it even more painful.
That was almost a British thing, 3-31. Yeah.
The craziest stat about this game is the Texans actually had nine more minutes of offense than the Colts, and they scored three points. So he uses, so Culley uses every part of the play clock.
He like really likes to take it. I think that's all that means is they had more time in possession because it takes them longer to actually get the plays called in and have them set up, and not because they were like dominating in the running game.
Although they did have, they had 124 yards rushing. Yeah, no, I mean, they do a couple things every now and then in a few games where you're like, hey, the Texans, they're pros, like Pete Prisco said.
But no, no, no. They are officially in the running for worst teams in the NFL.
This game was over before it started because the roof was open in Indy for the first time all year. And the shadows, if you think the shadows during the Dallas Cowboys afternoon games are bad, when they have the roof open in Indy, it looks like when you see an old broadcast of a game from the 1960s or something, and it's before anything was really engineered to be optimized for television, when they didn't think anybody would even be watching.
That's what the Indy field looks like when the the roofs open. So that's a hostile environment to go into and have to play for Davis Mills.
And then, honestly, I forgot that T.Y. Hilton wasn't playing until he was back today.
It was a big deal. It was a huge deal.
Activated. He had neck surgery, and now he's back playing again, and he's dominating again.
I love T.Y. Hilton.
I do, too. Underappreciated player.
For his post-game press conference after his baby was born. Still one of my favorites.
I think the Texans should consider letting a fan play quarterback. That would be cool.
I think that would be more entertaining. Or a fan coach.
Yeah. Yeah, anything other than what's going on right now.
Jonathan Taylor's awesome, which is always great to see because I need Wisconsin players to be good in the pros so that we can get recruits because we just barely beat army uh which was actually by the side note was one of the funniest games uh of the weekend because it took like two hour two and a half hours to play yep and the the Wisconsin army game finished before Tennessee Ole Miss got into the fourth quarter and Tennessee Ole Miss started a half hours to play. Yep.
And the Wisconsin Army game finished before Tennessee-Ole Miss got into the fourth quarter, and Tennessee-Ole Miss started a half hour before Wisconsin Army. See, I always respect that.
If you're going to make me watch a painful version of football, which, I mean, Army football can be fun to watch sometimes when they just dominate people and run them over. Well, the triple option works.
It's a thing of beauty. It's amazing.
It's poetry. But yeah, at least make it fast.
At least have the games end. I think that the football team played by far the fastest games last year when they were just really, really bad.
And it's always nice to be able to end a little bit early and then get to watch what actual football looks like in that same time slot. Yeah, get that time slot.
The Colts, just a quick word on the Colts. So even though the Colts are, what are they, 2-4 now?

I think they're 2-4.

They are.

I think we talked about this last week, but they are very much in the AFC South. They are probably going to end up, I was looking at their schedule,

they're probably going to be a 500 team in late November going into the home stretch.

So even though it feels like the Colts aren't anything special right now, I guarantee you that they will be like part of the playoff picture come December. So I think I'm ready to maybe start getting tempted by Carson Wentz again.
No, don't. Just look like this.
If you look at the last two games, I know the elbows are bad, the long elbow sleeve that he has. The really high white socks.
I get all of it. The thing where he runs around and he gets scared in the backfield.
Like he has a sensitivity to loud noises and he panics. There's a lot to not like about Carson Wentz.
But I'm still finding myself being like, maybe they fixed him. Maybe Carson Wentz got fixed.
I don't know. That's the whole thing.
It's like maybe going out to Indianapolis, maybe that will fix him, reuniting him with Frank Reich. And, I mean, he played good against the Ravens last week.
Don't do this to yourself. He played pretty good.
I have just finally gotten over thinking this. And I was done even – I think I talked you out of believing that like two weeks ago.
It was refreshing. No, well, I stopped around last year, but I truly don't think he's good anymore, and it was a very freeing thing, both in betting and just life, to just not have to think all the time about how Carson Wentz, oh, this might be the game that he recaptures that year where he almost won MVP.
You know what's really puzzling about Carson Wentz is his rib protector that he wears. The rib protector, it's ridiculous.
It's egregious. It's like he basically has just a giant cylinder of plastic around his torso at all times.
And I've never seen a quarterback that has to look at this. Look how big that thing is.
It's enormous. Yeah.
I should probably wear one of those. I do wear one of those.
He wears a girdle. That's why I look like that.
He wears a girdle. Yeah, I do wear one of those.
All right, so this game's about to end. Oh, is the time over? They spiked it.
Now the dilemma is, is there one second or zero? Oh, okay. Interesting.
Well, should we do another game real quick before we finish and recap this one? Let's do another one. All right, let's just go.
Let's just keep... DK just absolutely choked the game.
Yeah, he just fumbled. He caught it.
He could have just ran out of bounds and he fumbled it. Well, he couldn't turn.
He was trying to make a play and basically run through everyone. Yeah, DK got the spike off.
Listen, it's DK. He'll go towards the end zone, but if you need

him to get out of bounds, he's the last player

that you want with a ball in your hands. Yes.

That's a Ted Ginn specialist.

We'll delay

the Bears-Packers for another couple minutes

here. Well, let's just do a couple more games before

we get to that. I'm going to start

crying. Yeah, that was

a stupid, stupid play by DK Metcalf.

That was awareness zero. I DK Metcalf.
Yeah. Rams-Giants, another one of these games.
There were so many games today that just weren't interesting because they were just blowouts. The only interesting part of this game was Eli and Tom Coughlin were back.
I actually think the Giants, given their current state, should bring Eli back for every home game. Just make every home game an Eli ceremony of some sorts because I don't know how else you're going to get fans to cheer, especially when Daniel Jones at home is not – I mean, we've talked about it, but Daniel Jones at home is just not good.
And he was bad today, and obviously a receiver slipped in one play, but I think the first play of the game he fumbled, they recovered it, but that was like, oh, it's going to be one of those Daniel Jones days. This was one of the games where if this one was going to be competitive, it would have given us a way better feeling going into the rest of the slate on Sunday.
But you knew that this game was a blowout. You're like, all these games are going to suck.
It was a good bellwether for how the Sunday was going to go. And it was competitive for the first quarter.
And then Tony gets hurt. Yeah, Kadarius, Tony gets hurt, which the Giants, I know that every team thinks that they have the worst injury luck.
I do actually think the Giants might have the worst injury luck, at least this year. Because it feels like every time they have a guy step forward, he gets injured.
I think they're down to like their fourth and fifth string wide receivers that are starting right now. Obviously, Saquon's out for, I don't know, probably forever with a softball-sized ankle.
Yep. But that sucked, because Canary's Tony's fun to watch.
They need to bring Madison Hedgecock back to the games. That'll get people back out to MetLife.
Yes. Yeah, MetLife will be packed with a buzzing farmers only day um so yeah so the the what so uh the giants stink um i think we're officially on joe judge watch yeah because you can't be joe judge correct coach the way that joe judge does and lose correct if you win then everything's great and it's oh, this guy's figured out how to coach in the NFL.
He's a genius. Right.
Because he makes his players run laps. But yeah, the hard-ass coaches, when they don't win, that's when things go sour.
Correct. That's when your Shianos happen.
Right. Things of that nature.
Yeah. Things fall apart very quickly for Joe Judge types.
And speaking of their injuries, Joe Judge, in a blowout,

was playing all the starters

at the end of the game,

which is another one like,

hey, maybe you're not the guy.

Maybe pack it in, yeah.

Yeah, maybe pack it in.

Maybe protect your players.

You're already like walking, wounded team.

I just think Joe Judge,

he feels like the first to go.

Do you think that,

gun to your head,

if you're a Giants fan,

do you miss,

do you allow yourself in secret moments

Thank you. like he feels like the first to go do you think that uh gun to your head if you're a giants fan do you miss like do you allow yourself in in secret moments to admit that maybe you miss mackadoo just a little bit oh i miss him i mean those big suits i miss him yeah the giant suits the hair the mustache the tiny door that he had to his office at least he was funny we never actually confirmed whether or not that was true but it's my favorite rumor that McAdoo had like a door that went into his office that was 60 the size of a normal door every other door in the building I choose to believe it's true because it's funny Cam would you take McAdoo back no he said no Cam says no no absolutely not I I would take him back just because he is a funny in the slick back hair and the oversized suit.
But, yeah, Joe Judge, it feels like Joe Judge is about to a couple more weeks and he could be the first coach. Yeah, I could see that.
Yeah. Because almost every other coach running through the list, they are either in a situation they knew they were going to be shitty going into this year.
It's rare to have a combination of a relatively new coach that has expectations that's being judged against them. Joe Judge, unfortunately for him, has expectations.
Right, exactly. And in terms of the Rams, another one of those ones that you just chalk up to good teams just blow out bad teams.
Matt Stafford had an incredible no-look pass. Did you see that? Well, no,

Big Cat, because his name isn't Patrick Mahomes,

so the media didn't talk about it. That's a fact.

But yeah, that was an incredible no-look pass. Cooper Cup

is now, through

six weeks, statistically

halfway to a career year.

His career year, which he had a couple years ago

where he had like 10 touchdowns,

1,100 yards. I think he's at five touchdowns, 600 yards right now.
So he is on fire. And yeah, the Rams, like credit to the Rams for kicking the shit.
That second quarter where they scored 28 points and that was just it. So yeah, I don't know what else to say besides the Rams are a lot better than the Giants right now.
Yeah, Jake brought it up earlier, but the double revenge game coming next week,

that'll be some good storylines.

Ooh, let's play Guess Whose Line Is It Anyway.

Guess Whose Line Is It Anyway.

It's Hank, we get it for us.

All right, Guess Whose Line Is It Anyway.

It's in LA.

Okay.

I'm going to say Rams minus...

I'm going to go 11 and a half.

I'm going to go 13 and a half.

Okay.

13 and a half.

Rams minus 13 and a half.

14 and a half.

I'm going to go 11.5. I'm going to go 13.5.
13.5. Rams minus 13.5.
14.5. Whoa! I think I got to take Dan Campbell.
Damn! No, don't. Don't do this to yourself.
Well, I know it could cook a field goal at the end of the game. Yeah, I just...
Can I bet on the Lions not to get shut out? That's what I want to do. We should put that up there.
Will Dan Campbell attempt a sad field goal?

Yes. Although, what? Absolute hard-out move to trot Russell Wilson out there when he's not even playing.
Oh, I didn't see that. That is.
I bet you he's not even a captain right now. He's just taking mental reps.
What is Russell Wilson doing out there? We should just talk about this game real quick uh i can't believe that russell wilson got caught uh practicing his two minute drive by himself on the field beforehand that was crazy i've never i think he wanted to just do that in peace and not have anyone see it uh but unfortunately the nbc cameras because it is a nationally televised game did him going through that. And it ended up going around Twitter and social media and being like, look at Russell Wilson.
He cares so much. He's not even playing tonight, but he's still practicing before the game.
It's reminiscent of Hard Knocks when JJ didn't know that HBO was filming at the time. Yeah, right.
And he was rapping to Fort Minor. Right.
It's sad because these are private moments that these athletes are trying to have, trying to improve their craft, get better. I mean, the dedication that he has to just happen to need to do this exercise right before their game that was going to be on national television, it shows you this guy works hard, okay? Yes.
And he doesn't do it for the accolades. Nope, he does it because he loves the game.
He misses the game. He's only been out of the game for one week he misses it that bad that he's got to practice it by himself like a crazy person running routes and and running in the pocket and running a two-minute offense and again i think that anyone who uh tweeted out that video should uh be reprimanded and because it was clear that russell wilson was trying to have a private moment by himself with no cameras around because that's just the type of guy he is.
Yeah, he's a great guy, great leader. And it is the first weekend that he's never played while he's been in the NFL.
So he actually doesn't know what to do for himself. He's going to do this every week, isn't he? He's absolutely doing it.
Yeah, he's doing it every single week. He strikes me as a guy that would have a a commercial a new commercial that would come out for like i don't know bo's headphones or something like that sponsoring that particular week of his recovery right like it's going to be finger week next week well no that's actually not a good no that's not we'll go back to the drawing board on that one yeah um but also this game had a fan on the field too right in the first quarter yes that's right we've.
We're entering a very dangerous time where I think we're going to have to have

some hard discussions as a society.

And I warned you guys about this.

We need to see the fans

on the field. Yes.
We need to show us the fans.

Show them. I want to see them getting

lit up. I want to see how

they run around. I want to be able to grade a fan's

performance eluding security forces.

We can see them on the internet. The videos are

going to get out anyways. Just show them

on the national broadcast. I want to have

I love it. I agree.
They rob us of the moment. We know the fans there.
we see him run on the field show the whole thing i want to see the fan juke out one security guard who might be a little bit overweight the security guard falls over tips over onto his nose and then the next guy lights him up i that's a beautiful piece of choreography that i think we're deprived here's the pro here's a little pro tip for all the uh media media companies out there who are broadcasting these games. You're trying to get everyone to watch your streaming service.
Have there be a policy on your streaming service that you will always show any fan that runs on the field. Yeah, you can pay extra for that.
I would absolutely be like, alright, I'm going to watch this game on the cock and not on NBC. Yeah, it's weird because you see the actual game of football where you've got T.J.
Watt just punching people in the face,

and then they're like, no, but we can't show this fan.

Yeah, we can't show the fan.

By the way, I did learn today that you're not allowed to punch somebody in football.

Yeah.

I knew that you couldn't do it after the play.

I knew that you couldn't try to punch them in their face,

but you're not allowed to try to punch somebody in their body.

Which is kind of bullshit.

It is bullshit.

You should be able to punch. You should absolutely be able to punch.
The next iteration of the XFL should be like, guess what? Punching is allowed. Yeah, punching is bad.
In this version of football. Yes.
Because we're not anti-football pussies. We're going to be able to punch.
You can punch any part of the body. It will be fun.
It will be heavyweights punching each other. Or one guy gets to punch.
Yeah. One guy per team.
Yes, one puncher per team. And has a knife um the big ben pump fake he just he's been playing with with fire he just loves to pump he's pumping all the time and then he finally pumped himself into a fumble um no more tuck rule i learned that tonight didn't realize that i forgot that they got rid of it but yeah big ben just pump he just to pump fake.
The pump fakes are, and they were talking about it earlier in the broadcast too, they were saying how dynamic his pump fakes are, how he gets everybody to bite on him. And we saw exactly why.
It's because when Ben usually tries to do a pump fake, he actually believes he's going to pass the ball. Correct.
Until the very, very last second. Correct.
So it isn't really a pump fake, it's just an aborted pass at that point. And so you saw him try to do that in this game, and he held on like one half second.
It looked like he had spider attack on the end of his hand. The ball stuck in, and he knew that he was in trouble when his arm was fully extended.
He was like, well, I've gone too far now, so this is going to end poorly. I'm fucked.
All's why don't we do a quick ad and then we will I will talk about Aaron Rodgers owning my entire life. Okay.

Okay.

Packers 24, Bears 14.

All right, you want to do Ravens Chargers?

I think what Aaron Rodgers did today today is disgusting i think it's gross i don't understand the taunting rules in the nfl he gets to uh say so the exact quote was i've owned you all my fucking life i own you i still own you that was to the bears fans he said that there was some phantom uh bears fan a woman who was giving him the finger. I don't believe that.
I would like to see video proof before I believe that. Wait for all the facts to come out.
Yeah, wait for all the facts to come out. In all seriousness, it was funny because I tweeted that right after.
And I had, you know when you get the Twitter crossover to, it gets retweeted to enough people that have no idea who you are that I had like 1,500 replies

of people just calling me soft

and like, this is insane

that you actually are this upset about it.

I am this upset about it.

I'm not obviously upset that he talks shit.

The worst part about the entire experience

is he's correct.

He does own me.

He owns my life.

The two worst days of my year are when the Bears play the Packers,

and I have to watch.

It's the same thing every year.

And even in the first quarter, I was like, oh, my God,

this was an awesome first drive.

The game starts.

We play great defense.

Justin Fields takes him down the field, score a touchdown.

This is going to be different.

No, no, no, no.

It's never different.

We'll be right back. The game starts.
We play great defense. Justin Fields takes him down the field.
Score a touchdown. This is going to be different.
No, no, no, no. It's never different.
Aaron Rodgers owns my fucking life, and I'm sick of it, and I'm sad about it. The thing is, he knows that he owns you.
You know that he owns you. It just didn't need to be said.
Right. It was mean.
It was mean-spirited. It was understood.
It's mean-spirited. I get get it it's not like you were sitting here pretending that he didn't own you uh it was yeah it was very mean-spirited and thoughts and prayers to this one bears fan on reddit uh did you see this i'm gonna do a little monday reading i mean it's he's everything he says is right it's one thing as a fan to see aaron rogers saunter into the end zone to score the gamealing touchdown with his own two hands.
It's what he's been doing for literally my entire life as a Bears fan, and sometimes it'd just be like that. But to hear him stare the crowd down and yell, I own you, I still own you, crushed my soul to a new level.
It served as a reminder that Aaron Rodgers isn't just an idea. He's a real human being that comes into our city once a year and fucks my shit up.
Aaron Rodgers is the boogeyman, and I fully expect him to be there when I die. Staring into my eyes, smiling softly, I still own you.
Yeah. No, it's terrible.
He's 22-5 against the Bears. Renfri doesn't begin to cut it in this situation.

It's not even Renfri because Renfri, like, I

admit everything. You know what I mean? Like, Renfri

is when you're like, oh, it doesn't bother me.

It bothers me. It sucks.
It sucks

how much he owns the

Bears. They've beaten, the Bears

have beaten the Packers three times in the

last decade. One was because

Joe Philbin was coaching. Another was

Shane McClellan broke Aaron Rodgers in half.

So yeah, remember that Aaron Rodgers in half. So yeah, remember that, Aaron Rodgers.
Shea McClellan fucking snapped you in half, you bitch. That was mean of me.
I don't want to stoop to his level. When he goes low, I go high.
I think that was well-deserved. Well, the fact that he went after an entire city made it, I guess, so he could get away with it.
Because if you taunt one person yeah it's a crime if you taunt a million people it's a statistic but you know what i'm saying like it's not rent free it's it's because he i admit it like it's just sucks he fucking beats the bears all every time and it sucks and there's nothing i can do about it and every time i go into it thinking it's going to be different, and every time it's the exact same thing, and it just is what it is. This is why when I was obsessed with him maybe retiring in the offseason, you understand why.
Because the idea, like the best part of my year was the fact that there was a moment in time when I thought Aaron Rodgers might actually retire. Well, he definitely considered it, but I think that this is why he came back.
I think that he obviously doesn't... He didn't do it to win Super Bowls.
Well, he doesn't have, like... He's not a football guy.
He doesn't, like, bleed football, obviously. He has a wife, and he likes art.
So he has other things that he's interested in. Correct.
Big red flag, first of all, in your quarterback. Huge red flag.
But what he really loves is just making an entire city of people pissed off at him. He loves it.
It's personal. He personally loves to do this to the Bears.
I think he hates football fans. And so the best way that he can get back at football fans is just by beating their teams.
So I don't really have any spin zones. I don't have anything positive.
I do think Justin Fields played well at times. I also think that his processing needs to speed up.
There's times when he doesn't run when it's clearly a time to run. He kind of moves to try to get more time for his guys down the field, and he misses opportunities to pick up plays with his legs.
So there's Geno Smith just fumbled. Yeah, TJ Watt just ran the punch play again.
The punch play. So it's bad like i think the bears are still in that weird

zone of they're not terrible but they're clearly not good uh if they had won this game i would have been like oh they might be good but yeah aaron rogers owns me it's it's awful i i don't even know when we play them again but it will be another worst day of my year and as long as he's on the Packers twice a year, every year, I will be miserable and everything will suck and my soul will be crushed. It kind of kicks ass to have a...
Sunday night football, can it be flexed? Oh, it can be flexed. That can be flexed.
I don't want that. A flex would probably involve you guys going on a big losing streak.
You don't want that either. Honestly, that might be better.
That might be better than having to do Sunday Night Football. It's going to be Sunday Night Football, and he's going to own you.
Billy, if it's Sunday Night Football, Bears-Packers, I give you permission to hit me with a frying pan and knock me out. Drop a piano on my head when I'm not looking.
Knock me out and wake me up on Monday. Seriously.

Okay, gotcha.

All right, thank you.

Other notes from the game.

Eddie Jackson can't tackle.

That really sucks, and Razul Douglas should be in jail

for what he did to Justin Fields.

Noted.

That was a dirty hit.

Also, Justin Fields, he had another nice fumble recovery to that.

Yes, he did.

He's amazing at recovering fumbles.

He's the king of them.

And Khalil Herbert, he's doing a great job as the third running back now because we've had injuries and COVID and all that shit. And then guess what? The Bears have to play the Bucs next week on nationally televised 425 games.
That will be awesome. Alright, let's keep going.
You want to do Chiefs-Washington football team?

Yeah.

Okay, so I'll just pass the baton of sad.

Okay, this is, yeah, we're fucking losers on this show.

Yeah, no, it's Loserville.

I said it.

We all lost.

It's Loserville.

I'll give you some stats, and then I'll let you take it from there.

So the game starts.

Yeah.

Everyone expects the Chiefs to have their big bounce-back game. There's big galvanizing.
The Chiefs are okay. It didn't go that way.
Patrick Mahomes was bad in the first half. He was 13 for 23, 222 yards, zero touchdowns, two interceptions.
He sucked. His mom was making excuses on Twitter saying, okay, people, this was talking about the interception where he threw it, and Tyree Kill, it went through Tyree Kill's hands, bounced up, intercepted.
She said, okay, people, that should not be an interception on the QB. That should be a fumble or anything else.
Just putting it out there. Go Chiefs.
I love that from her. That's ride or die.
I actually like that from my mom. Yeah, that's ride or die.
I don't expect a mom. It would be concerning to me if the mom was like, yeah, that pass could have been better, Patrick.
That's what you would expect a hardcore dad to do, to actually give honest assessments. But mom, mom has to have your back.
Has to. All right, so last thing, and then I'll let you just take it from there.
But the game turned at halftime. Spot Rack, am I saying that right? I think it's Spot Rack, the place where you can look up all the contracts, tweeted out, Mahomes has $440 million left on his contract, 69 guaranteed through 2023.
So we were at that point where they were, it's an absurd tweet to have. Is Patrick Mahomes an albatross? Yeah, it's an absurd, but we had reached that point.
Even Stephen Che was saying other quarterbacks get killed for this. Why does Patrick Mahomes get off the hook? Well, I'll tell you why he gets off the hook.
Because in the second half, he went 19 for 24, 175 yards, two touchdowns, zero interceptions. And yeah, he's still the best quarterback in the NFL when he's on.
We were literally having to debate, has the league figured out Patrick Mahomes in the first half of this game?

And it's like, no, trust me, he's still

Patrick Mahomes, he'll be fine. Although if they

did want to trade him to the Washington football team, I would give

up Taylor Heineke.

He's an asset, but... So you take it from there.

Taylor Heineke...

I may have spoke

slightly too soon on saying Taylor

Heineke is our guy.

He's a guy. I think he's gone to...
He's definitely a guy, and he's there, and he can be the guy, but a lot of times he's just not the guy. Yes.
And so he had some really bad interceptions today. Didn't play well all in all, but the main story going into this week was how if you had told me week one, you remember when the stadium actually leaked shit onto Washington football team fans? I do.
If you had told me that wouldn't be the worst in-stadium experience of the year, I would have probably said that you're crazy. Turns out they figured out a way to one-up it by announcing the Sean Taylor jersey retirement three days before they were going to have the game, leading a lot of people to be like, yo, does this have anything to do with the giant fail son, Bruce Allen's emails that keep coming out? And the team denied that it was.
Some of the family members close to Sean Taylor were saying that they just heard about it like three days ago. I know that they had like an event planned four months ago.
They said, okay, this is going to be alumni weekend, and we're going to take that opportunity to honor Sean Taylor at halftime. We're going to dedicate a road to him.
That was clearly all planned out in advance, but every single time I've seen somebody from the team defend this jersey retirement, they've been very careful with their language, and they've said it was always our intent to honor Sean Taylor. But I haven't seen anything that says, like, literally, we had always planned to retire his jersey.

And the Washington football team doesn't retire jerseys.

I think we have two other jerseys that we've ever retired in the history of the franchise.

I have a question for you.

At least no one did a TikTok on his number on the field, right?

No, that's actually...

It was a fire TikTok, though, Jackson Mahomes.

He always brings it. So I gotta say, like like the art may have been worth it in that context no um it was bad it was bad it just everything you just said and then add on the fact that jackson mahomes and there's a picture of him standing in a very roped off area yes that is sean taylor's number spray painted onto the field it's like you know what it's like at um at the pro football hall of fame rp david baker oh fuck not dead but no not dead well still with us as far as as far as we're concerned yes yeah so uh so you know how they had goodell's chair set up behind those ropes that was like what the what the-painted jersey number on the field was.
And they definitely had to step over those ropes. He was like, this is actually a great place for a TikTok.
You know what? If I die, I give Jackson Mahomes permission to film a TikTok dance at my funeral. Okay.
I would actually like to be memorialized. That was tough.
That was tough. But I got to say, I've seen a lot of dirty shit from this franchise.

Yeah.

And this might cost me my position as the Washington football fan ambassador. But if they literally were exploiting Sean Taylor's death, the one player that I care about, the one bright spot that we've had.
Like, Sean Taylor's my favorite football player of all time. Everybody in that city absolutely loves him.
and if they were exploiting his death

to get the stank off of their front office,

are people... football player of all time.
Everybody in that city absolutely loves him. And if they were exploiting his death

to get the stank off of their

front office, or

people that used to work in their front office,

that's a new low. And I think

they were. I might be

out. No.

Out? Out? That's a

very, that's a low I never thought that they

would ever stoop to. Yeah.

I mean, I kind of actually thought they would.

I might be, yeah.

It actually is very Washington

Thank you. that's a low I never thought that they would ever stoop to.
Yeah. I mean, I kind of actually thought they would.
I might be, yeah. He actually is very Washington football team.
The Bruce Allen emails are very funny, too, because it's very clearly his job as the ultimate fail son, the son of the former coach of the team, his job was like, okay, go sit at a desk for 12 hours a day and email bikini pictures to the guy that you most recently played golf with and then make a joke about a black guy getting an interview. And that was your day-to-day job.
And obviously didn't produce anything on the field. But I probably shouldn't be...
I shouldn't be shocked at anything at this point, especially after the shit leak situation. But it's bad.
It's really bad if that's what actually went down,

and that's how they planned it out.

Yeah.

And so in terms of the game, too, the defense is bad.

So I said this to J.P. Finley on Friday when I went on D.C.
I said, if you're going to plan the Sean Taylor jersey retirement well in advance,

how about just not make it against the Chiefs? Right. Right.
If we truly had this planned out four months ago, I don't know, can we maybe find out when the Lions are coming to town? A game we could actually win? Yeah. But to play against the Chiefs? Yeah, that was...
You know what, though? I always had this one circled as a loss when I looked at the schedule. There you go.
So good news is we get to get back on the right track by playing against the Bucs and the Packers and at Denver. So pretty good stuff.
Yeah. I mean, like looking at the schedule, do it against the Seahawks Monday Night Football right after Thanksgiving.
Yeah. Give it a national audience where you can actually honor him.
It's gross. It's disgusting.
And also the defense is too. The defense is really bad.
It's still... Do you know how dumb I am? No one cares about your fantasy team.
I drafted the Washington football team in fantasy defense because I was like, they were so good last year. And I just forgot I had done that.
And I was just losing. And then I realized this week, I was like, oh, I'm getting negative points every single week because they're that bad.
So by benching your defense, you're scoring more points. I picked up the Panthers.
I was like, okay, we'll try this. Because it's baffling they're this bad.
I also really... Can someone do an investigation onto what Chase Young is doing with his helmet? Did you see in the first half? So the first half he had like a million pieces of tape.
That was a Sean Taylor thing. Oh, that was Sean Taylor.
And then he took it off, though. I don't know why he took it off.
Probably because it might be harder to see through it. Yeah, I don't know.
But yeah, he was doing something. But then he took it off.
I was like, why'd you take it off? I saw that he changed it. Chase also comes out of the game at weird times.
Yeah, he does. I don't know why, but on a third down in the third quarter, I don't know that he should really be off the field.
Because he's still good, I hope. No, he is very good.
No, no, no. He's very good.
You still have that. I just don't.
Everyone's talking about his consecutive games without a missed tackle streak. That's the new Ravens 100-yard rush.
That's huge. I just don't...
It's baffling to me how they can be this bad. I think that's probably a Jack Del Rio.
You're going to have to just fire him and hope it gets better. And then it doesn't help the fact that Taylor Heineke is not good.
He's not. He's a guy.

He's not.

I think we also, the last couple weeks we've answered the question,

if Ryan Fitzpatrick gets healthy, I think he has his job back.

I would say at this point, yes.

Right.

So that kind of tells you everything about Taylor Heineke.

But we'll always have that Giants game.

We always have that Giants game at Tame and Busters,

which feels like 10 years ago.

Video this week.

What? Video this week. Oh, did you guys play a competition? Maybe.
Who? Billy versus Jake? Maybe. And how'd it go? You'll have to tune in and find out.
Billy, did you win? A couple. Oh.
Okay. Out of how many? A lot.
Okay. But they were...
A couple out of a lot. They're like cool ones.
It wasn't like... Oh, they're the cool cool ones You guys can do like Like a sports competition Or like anything That involved athletics No there's no real sports There's no Yeah We should go do some real sports Just axe throw up What would you compete with Against Jake in Because I think Jake would beat you in everything We could do like 40 yard dash Okay Bench press max Okay Squats You're describing exercising Mm describing exercising.
Mm-hmm. Well, we could also play basketball.
Mm-hmm. Not tennis.
What about Papa Shot? That's pretty close to basketball. Did you guys do that? Oh.
You must have won that. No, that's not real basketball shooting.
Oh, okay. I actually think Jake could beat Billy in real basketball.
You think so? Yeah. Okay, that's what we're doing on Thursday.
I don't think so. I don't think so.
I don't think so. I think Jake could.
I don't think so. No, let's go play basketball.
Billy plays basketball like a football player, and you can't beat that guy one-on-one. He'll just tackle.
He would just try to back Jake down the whole time. We'll do that.
Okay. No, let's not do that.
Let's watch the video where you win a couple out of a lot. Then we'll make another video.
We might have to suspend you from playing sports after this performance. Yeah, it's a bad look for all of us.
What? Because we're fucking losers already, but at least we still have the card in our back pockets of, I haven't gotten beaten in a decathlon by Jake. Yeah, and we also, we like, oh, we got this one guy.
I always tell people, they're always like, hey, tell me about part of my take. I'm like, well, we got this one guy, Billy.
He's a sick fucking athlete. So now I can't say that anymore.
That's always the line I use. We probably need to drop football from your last name.
That'd actually be nice. Oh, you don't want it anymore? Yeah.
What the fuck? Because I don't play football anymore. So I feel like a frog.
But you haven't for the last couple of years. Yeah, exactly.
Can we just drop it? All right, fine. Billy, William, that's fine.
All right, we're not dropping it. Last thing about the Chiefs.
So Patrick Mahomes does have, he is third now in the NFL in interceptions. Zach Wilson has nine.
Trevor Lawrence has eight. Patrick Mahomes also has eight.
So he's second, actually. Tied for second.
The one that he had in the first half today was ridiculous. The second one? Yeah.
That was, he, so it's weird because obviously anyone who's tweeting out like, why does Patrick Mahomes get away with this? Well, the reason why he gets away with it is because he has a Super Bowl. He has an MVP.
He threw 50 touchdowns. He's fucking electric.
There's a reason why he gets like rope here. It's just the same way that like Aaron Rodgers gets rope he has bad games, or Tom Brady.
There is something a little off, but I'm not concerned long term. But there is definitely, they're not as sharp as they have been in the past.
The cuteness thing is an issue. For sure.
They again got real cute with it today. Honestly, it's like they're coaching Andy Reid's calling plays trying to get boops.
Listen, I don't know. I don't want to diagnose someone from afar but I think maybe Patrick Mahomes should just start taking Adderall.
He probably would just be back to Patrick Mahomes. It does feel like he gets almost bored with the game times.
He's beating it at the final level.

Right.

So he's got to do something to make it hard again.

Right.

He's got to recapture that.

Well, you know what they're all saying?

What?

That his baby's keeping him up at night.

Oh.

That's like all the Kansas City Chief fans, like diehard ones.

I have a feeling that's not true.

Yeah, he's like Patrick Mahomes ever since that kid came around has been playing well.

Geez.

Well, the kid's mush like Jersey Jerry's kid. Well, no longer.
They won the the Steelers one, which by the way, TJ Watt, that was an incredible play to punch out. Yeah, good job punching TJ.
Good job, TJ. I don't believe that, but yeah, clap it up.
Good job, TJ. We should talk about X-Factor a little bit.
He got kicked out of Arrowhead Stadium. He's not allowed back there.
Yes. life and for life bad boy yeah he was at he was at ral john today he was see him trying to take pictures most famous guy in the world kind of upstaging sean taylor's day yeah that's fine though yeah if you have to share a day with one super fan i'm glad that it's x-factor um his last game ever yeah his last well he's gonna go to away go to away games I have a feeling that other teams will rally and support and preemptively ban him he's going to be blackballed ok so that was Chiefs Washington football team Vikings Panthers this was actually a great game.
And in large part, so I'm ready to do something

that a lot of people

will be happy I'm doing. I'm going to give

Kirk Cousins his flowers.

He was very, very good today.

He is winning

these games in spite of Mike Zimmer

trying to lose them with conservative

coaching at the end and just weird

things that he's doing. Kirk Cousins

is now, I think every single game they've played, the Vikings play in a tight game every single week. I think all six games he's had to drive them late, and he's done it.
He's in five of the six games. He's driven them into field goal range or a touchdown.
So he's playing well. He deserves a lot of credit.
The first half was bad. He missed some throws, but the second half he was very good.
Three touchdowns. He also, this is a crazy Kirk Cousins stat.
Again, I still don't believe in him long term, but giving him his flowers right now. Kirk Cousins is only behind Aaron Rodgers for having the most games with three or more touchdowns and zero interceptions in the last year and a half.
He's got 11 games like that, three or more touchdowns, zero interceptions since 2020. The king of Kirktober.
That's crazy. Yeah, he played really well today.
He's had some bad luck, too, with the kicker situation in Minnesota. The Minnesota Vikings should just not have a kicker.
Yeah, no, he won this game twice. He drove them 46 yards in 42 seconds for a field goal, missed it, then he drove them 75 yards for a touchdown in overtime.
So he gets a double win. Having to win these games when you have a kicker that kicks for the Minnesota Vikings is extra hard to do.
Correct. And he went down there, he's like, you know what, we're just going to score a touchdown.
So that way we don't have to worry about sending our field goal kicker out there to miss another one.

But I don't know what you do if you're a Minnesota Vikings fan because everyone knew. Every true Minnesota Vikings fan knew when they put their kicker out there that he was going to miss that field goal at the end of the game.
It's just a given that it's going to happen. It must be so torturous to have a good, solid team that's had opportunities in the last 15 years to do big things in the playoffs, but just also know we're never going to have a kicker, and so it's never going to work out long-term for us.
And it's Kirk Cousins. And it's Kirk Cousins, so yeah, that's another playoff limitation that you have.
But he's playing awesome. He's playing really well right now.
And Mike Zimmer's going to die coaching this team because they're in in a lot of his own doing like Mike Zimmer basically brought that he I think they I think with like a minute left and I'm Sam Darnold's not good we were talking about it last week but Sam Darnold the idea that Sam Darnold was fixed because he left the Jets is just insane he was bad again today even though his team had seven drops which which is insane. But Mike Zimmer, it was I think third and eight with like a minute plus left and he ran the ball to punt it.
It's like, why are you doing this? And you can say to yourself, well, we don't think Sam Darnold's going to go 90 yards, but also like Kirk Cousins was having a great game. They were passing all over the place.
The Panthers couldn't defend the pass. It's just Mike Zimmer keeps putting Kirk Cousins in situations where Kirk Cousins has to get him out of it.
And he's doing it right now, but it's obviously not sustainable. Yeah, best case scenario in Mike Zimmer's head was they were going to get it to like fourth and one.
Yeah. And then put all the pressure on Kirk Cousins to try to get that first down.
They were not, yeah. Sometimes he gets a little too conservative in his play calling.
I thought it was very funny how at the start of the game, on the very first play from scrimmage, Sam Darnold threw an interception. I always love it when that happens.
It's going to be one of those kinds of days. I actually think that it's better to do that in terms of all the attention that you'd get for a bad interception.
It's way better to do it on the very first play of the game because the game hasn't started yet it's basically basically a long kickoff return that you just that you just gave up yeah um but yeah uh he he's he's not fixed he's sam darnold breaking news he's not fixed he's not fixed yes we just i think the idea of the jets being so toxic that they could ruin some unbelievable quarterback was so alluring to everyone that we're like, Sam Darnold, he's fixed. Oh, actually, it turns out that the Panthers played the Texans.
They played the Jets. They did beat the Saints, which was Saints are just the yo-yo team of the year.
But I think we can officially say that the Panthers are not going to be good. They could be frisky.
They could be. They could be frisky, but they're not good.
They're a team that's going to win a game that they have no business winning later on this year. And one thing that's a little concerning to me is Matt Rule, his dimensions are changing as a human being.
It's like he's getting compressed. He's getting squished.
Yeah, vertically. He's getting compressed.
He's getting wider and shorter. He's going into the machine that they squish cars in.
Yeah, the compactor, the trash compactor. Yeah, now that I said the Vikings stink, or sorry, the Panthers stink, I'm looking at it right now.
They play the Giants and the Falcons next two weeks. So they might end up being back to like, ooh, are the Panthers good? No, they're not.
Just remind us. Jake, set a reminder.
Panthers aren't good. Don't fall for it.
It's like memento. Set the reminder.
Don't listen to his lies. For November 1st, please.
Yeah, Sam Donald was 17 for 41. That's, when you're a quarterback, you can't be like that far apart with numbers.
You have to throw... If you were 17 for 38...
Yeah, no, the three digits is bad. One to four.
Right, you can't have that. You have to get to 20.
22 of 45 doesn't look that bad. Compared to 17 for 41.
Yeah, 17 out of 40 is way worse than if you go 22 to 49 yeah absolutely right and but the reason why is because our at least my brain i just look at any sort of quarterback completion rating and i just divide it and i check to see if it can go into it twice so if it's if they're less than 50 that's what i look for and automatically like, okay, that guy sucks. He stinks.
But if it's over 50%, I'm like, wow, he's a gunslinger. That's like the line right there between gunslinger and shithead is if you can get consistently like 50% of your passes completed in a game, I'll give you a little bit longer of a rope.
And in today's NFL, if you have 17 17 pass completions i think once you get past 25 pass attempts it sucks because it's just something about like the any number below 20 even 19 is okay i can deal with the 19 but 17 like 17 for 23 is good that's drew breeze game uh late career. But 17 for 27? That's terrible.

Not good. That's terrible.
Not good.

Don't ever get stuck

on 17. That looks really, really bad.

You should have had him throw just a screen pass at the end.

Yeah. Okay.

Next up, Ravens Chargers.

The Ravens are really fucking good.

And I think the Chargers we have to downgrade just a

little bit. Just a tiny little bit.

But the Ravens coming off an overtime emotional win on Monday night to then playing the Chargers today. Chargers, we all think one of the best teams in the AFC.
They fucking killed them. So I'm going to chalk this one up to a matchup nightmare.
I think these two teams just don't match up well for the Chargers, which is one way of saying the Ravens are much better than them. Yeah, I was the ravens are much better than them without fully admitting my take that the chargers are going to be the best team in the nfl um the ravens yes they're very good uh they are more physical than the chargers especially when they get the running game going chargers defense has a little bit of softness to it turns out yep uh and then the ravens got levy on bell he's on the ravens good reminder he had a touchdown today it actually is crazy i know that we're people have been making fun of the ravens 100 yard uh rushing streak because you know what they did in denver and everything where they're running the ball when the game was out of hand but it is crazy the ravens are able to put together this type of running running game with what they lost their top three running backs in July and August,

and they've been able to cobble it together.

They had 187 yards today,

which it actually brings their consecutive game streak to one.

Yes.

So they're starting it over again.

Just the way that it's built from the inside out,

I think that's what you say, right? When a team has a strong offensive line getting good push, you know what they do? They reset the line of scrimmage. They do.
They win it. They win in the trenches.
Every single week. But they're just good.
I actually, I've talked about the Ravens being frauds in the past. I'm not going to say that this year.
I think the Ravens are a legit, very, very good team. And they are in that group of, I don't know, let's do it real quick off the top of our head, in the AFC.
I think it's Ravens, Bills, Chiefs, still, and then Chargers. But the Chargers, after watching today, are they? Yeah.
Because that was a big step up. The Chargers have played against two big-time opponents, and the Cow and the Ravens, and they failed both those tests.
If this game is played at home—wait, was it at home for the Chargers? It was in Baltimore. Okay, yeah.
So if this game was played at home in Los Angeles with Boltman around, it's a different game. Okay.
But I think that's the list. And I think those are—the Ravens, the Bills, the Chiefs, and maybe the Chargers are the three teams or four teams that I feel confident about in the AFC being like, okay, I can see this team going to the Super Bowl.
Yeah, I wanted to say the Browns. No.
I wanted to. Can't.
Can't. We can talk about the Browns next.
Well, first we should also do the thing where when Brandon Staley makes a really good play call on fourth down and gets real aggressive and it works, we cheer him. He went for it on fourth down on his own 19.
19, yeah. Didn't get it.
I loved it. So now we have to motherfuck him and be like, you idiot.
I mean, it's actually statistically the right call. I'm a little concerned, though, because they did the thing where you can check and see what your expected win percentage increase would be

and he's getting these calls almost

a little bit too perfectly so he had like

it was one

of the fourth downs that he went for today

it increases win probability by like

0.5% so it was

a coin flip but he chose the right

side of the coin and it didn't work

out but he's getting like I think he

actually has a math guy

that is telling him during the game he

has that formula that he's looking up

These are the things one, football outsiders. Yeah, yeah.
He just has a subscription to there. I did think, though, that was actually that fourth down that you're talking about.
I think it was like they were on their own 19 and they were down 24-6, I want to say. That was the reverse of the sad field goal from Dan Campbell.
That was the we're going to keep trying to win this game. And, yeah, the Chargers got punked.
That was just an ass-kicking. So I actually, in a weird way, if you're a Chargers fan, all five of you, that is a game that you're probably, weirdly, like we needed that because that's, you know, you're a young team trying to accomplish big things, kind of a reset like, oh, we're not there, let's get hungry again.
Yeah, Billy, can you give me like a power ranking on like the clown shit? And yeah, compare clown shit to the shit pumping to they got run over by a wagon. So a shit pumping is more of just beating but not making the other team look comically bad.
But putting up tons of numbers, it's more of a numerical stat. Whereas clowning is like doing Patrick Mahomes, underhand passing type stuff, even throwing ridiculously bad interceptions while still being the other team.
But statistically, numerically, you can't tell that it was an absolute clown show. Got it.
Okay, got it. Got it.
That actually makes sense. So was there a clown show this week? There was a clown show.
Where was it? The Kansas City Chiefs did end up clowning them. Oh.
You did say while it was happening, you're like, oh, that's some clown shit. It's fair.
And PFT was like, no, that's not clown shit. And you're like, no, no, that was clown shit.
There was clown shit. That's the high-level talk we're having on Sunday afternoons.
Other side of it, more clown shit, but like a different type of clown shit. But then it was a show it was so funny if you I sometimes think like if we could just put someone from a different country sit with us for an entire Sunday like what the fuck are these guys talking about because I do I vividly remember the conversation happening when you were like that was some clown shit and PFC was like no that wasn't clown shit they're not getting clowned no bro that was clown shit I was like that's not clown shit that's some clown shit.
And PFC was like, no, that wasn't clown shit. They're not getting clowned.
No, bro, that was clown shit. I was like, that's not clown shit.
That's some fuck shit. And then you're like, no, that's clown.
And I was like, no, it's not clown, that's fuck. Fuck shit was what happened at the end of the Cowboys-Patriots game.
There was some fuck shit. It was like the back and forth.
That was some fuck shit. That was some fuck shit.
Do referees get suspended? Can referees get suspended? Yeah. Because the one ref in the Patriots and Cowboys game where he turned on his fucking microphone and he made the signal of hold, but then he just didn't point in a direction to tell us which side it was going to for 30 seconds.
That referee should be penalized. Absolutely.
We need to get that out of our game. Yes.
No one wants to see that. Absolutely.
Fuck shit, the refs are usually involved. Yeah.
That's when fuck shit happens. Yeah.
Yeah. All right.
We mentioned the Browns almost want to put them in the AFC contenders category, but let's do that game next. Cardinals 37, Browns 14.
The Browns are teetering. I think the Browns are like they have to play short week at home, thankfully, against the Broncos, but they're teetering along like the lines of shit might fall apart because everyone's injured.
Like they were missing both their offensive tackles. They were missing Nick Chubb.
Kareem Hunt got hurt. Baker Mayfield's shoulder definitely is affecting him, but the wheels are starting to come off for the Browns' season.
Yeah, once you lose Chonk, that's the formula for them winning games. It's just like pound them in the face with these two really good running backs and then let Baker do some play action stuff.
So Baker's going to keep playing. He's got a non-throwing shoulder that he just keeps dislocating.
And so it's just going to happen every time he lands on it. And it definitely is affecting him, his ability to run and desire to run.
I would say desire to run. But that matters for his game.
We're a Baker podcast. We defend Baker.
But I also think questions are fair right now. Let's just say that.
Well, he's hurt. He's hurt.
He's hurt. Also, Odell Beckham, what are you doing? Every time he's on the field, it just doesn't work.
I don't know what it is. The chemistry, I don't know what it is.
They need Jarvis Landry back. He's definitely a good football player, but he also sucks.
Simultaneously. How is that possible? I don't know.
I just keep thinking of him taking a slant to the house for the Giants and being like, where's that guy? Why isn't that guy still here? He's still there, but he sucks now. It's crazy.
If they didn't get the Hail Mary, it actually would have looked way, way worse. They get a Hail Mary at the end of the first half to score, to make it like 23-14.
You're like, ooh, this game might be on, but it was never on. The Cardinals are a lot better than the Browns right now, and the Cardinals deserve a lot of credit because even with all those injuries, the Cardinals didn't have their coach, and they are now winning games.
They keep it tight with some bad opponents opponents but they kick the shit out of the browns today also jj watt had a watt punch he did he did he learned that from his brother uh but yeah he had a nice little strip sack which what do you think we would rather have right now still tj yeah if we're doing watt power rankings yeah i would say so. TJ, Derek.
No offense to JJ. Yeah, I would say so.
TJ, Derek,

TJ, Derek, JJ.

Yeah, I think JJ would probably say that. In that order, yeah.
TJ is in

his prime. But yeah, the cards, we said

last week, if you win this game,

I'm officially retracting my stance

that the Cardinals give off

candy-ass vibes. Yeah, no, they're good.

I'm retracting the word candy-ass.

I think that they're just a good team. Kyler Murray is playing out of this world, and he didn't even need to run today.
That's the piece with Kyler Murray, when he doesn't even have to run, and he does that. He looked awesome passing the ball.
They didn't have Cliff Kingsbury. He probably is...
I mean, he's probably the MVP right now if people voted.

But, yeah, he was awesome, and the Cardinals are very much for real.

So let's play a fun game.

It's called Guess Who the Arizona Cardinals Backup Quarterback Is.

Got in the game today.

I think he had one rushing attempt.

Who would you guess?

John Skelton.

John Skelton?

No.

Remember him? Remember that guy?

That guy just seemed destined to live as a backup on the Cardinals. Yes.
It's Colt McCoy. Oh! Colt McCoy is still in the league.
Good for Colt. And he's playing backup in Arizona.
Good for him. Good for Colt.
But yeah, the Browns, I'm very nervous about the Browns. All the Browns fans we know.
The season looked very promising to start. Because the problem with the Browns is right now now you can play the game of like we went toe-to-toe with the big boys only so much and then eventually you're just like well we keep losing to the big boys and maybe we're not even close to them you know what I mean? Because I think the Browns like started the season when they lost to the Chiefs you're like ah well they went toe-to-toe with the Chiefs and they almost won that game that's almost weirdly a win they lost to the Chargers oh they kind of they went toe-to-toe with the Chargers they got fucked by the refs and they got fucked by the refs by the way this this game too the roughing the passer I don't know what roughing the passer is anymore no it was it was just like a shoulder bump it's crazy I don't even think Kyler Murray fell down did he no it's it's insane what what gets called roughing the passer now.
I'm worried about the Browns. Let me just say that.
Is it fair to ask if the Cardinals are a super team? They're in that super team conversation right now. They've got names.
They have a ton of names. They've got so many names.
They've traded for Zach Ertz. They got Ertz.
It feels like a super team. That feels like one of those ones where Ertz was like, hey, if you're going to trade me, can you send me someplace good? And he had been with the Eagles for so long that he probably had some goodwill, and he picked where he was going to go on that trade.
Yeah. But yeah, listen to these names.
A.J. Green, Christian Kirk, DeAndre Hopkins at wide receiver.
Rondale Moore at wide receiver. Those are some names.
Those are some names. And Larry Fitzgerald, as first reported on Part of My Take, will be returning probably in December.
Yeah. No, they might be a super team.
6-0, only undefeated team left. What are you going to say, Billy? These NFL super teams creep up on you.
Yeah, they do. They're just sneaky.
Yeah. Where does this come from? I would say they're a low-key super team.
Yeah. I also just, like, the Cardinals still have to, I think the Cardinals have to win multiple Super Bowls before I start respecting them.
Yes. Like, as an idea in my head.
And I know that's mean to say, but it just is. It's a fact.
Yeah. And what also, like, confuses me when I'm looking at the Cardinals coaches on the sidelines, the birds point in different directions.

They've got to get that figured out. Depending on which piece of equipment you're like.

On the hat, I think it points one way,

and on the chest, it points the other way.

Figure that out.

Make it easy on us.

Figure it out.

Give that Cardinal some teeth.

Okay, two more games.

Let's do Raiders-Broncos.

Rich Basicchia.

Fucking Rich Basicchia. What a guy.
We knew, so we all bet the Raiders. Probably the only bet we won today.
Rich Basickia. Booger called him a foxhole guy.
You see him on the sidelines. He's got the old man glasses that tear apart.
Yeah, the magnetic ones in the middle. So you can put them together.
Great, great gray goatee. Rich Basickia had these guys fighting hard.
I think they got something with this. I think they can ride this wave for a little bit because it's clear.
Like, you know instantly whether a team is playing for their interim head coach or not. They're playing for Rich Basickia.
He also had a great quote after. uh the the part of me uh he was talking about getting back up you know into a game situation he said the part of me uh that was getting back on the grass was the best the worst part was figuring out the headset which is such a football but like he can't he doesn't know this email this fat what do you fax it to someone yeah that's like uh when when bruce arians goes out there and i think bruce is the is the only coach in the league that has the chess kit where it looks like he's strapped up with a bomb.
That's got to be confusing for any first-time head coach, especially an interim one where you're a special teams coordinator. You've probably been around head coaches for a number of years, but until you put that shit on, there's buttons and stuff.
You don't know about buttons. You know how to coach football.
Yes. And one thing I learned about Rich Basicki today is that he was the guy that was brought in to fix the San Diego Chargers special teams the year after they had the worst special team unit ever, 2010, when they had the best offense in the league, best defense in the league, and their special teams were so bad that they didn't even make the playoffs.
He's the guy that they called in to fix the biggest disaster. That's Rich Basicchia.
So this guy can handle a locker room that might be a little chaotic, you might say. So yeah, Rich Basicchia.
Love betting on him. I think we're going to have to just keep betting on Rich Basicchia.
Absolutely going to have to keep betting on Rich Basicchia. They're playing for him.
You saw all the quotes afterwards. It's clear that they're going to rally around Rich Basickia.
Booker told us this. We believed him and we did it.
But yeah, the Raiders... We should talk about the Broncos.
The Broncos are, I think, the biggest... Tied with the Panthers is the biggest fraud start of the season.
They beat the Giants, the Jags, and the Jets. And we all kind of like, ooh, maybe.
Because, you know, I like Vic Fangio. Vic Fangio, his frustration challenges went to a different level today.
It was insane. He was challenging plays because they would score a touchdown.
The opponent would score a touchdown. Something bad would happen on the field.
And he'd be like, maybe if they look at it again, something different will have happened.

He was challenging plays simply that he didn't like the outcome.

It was Noah's fan, right?

Yeah.

He came down with his foot very clearly on the line.

100% out of bounds.

And he was just like, I'd like to challenge that

because I would have preferred that that play went a different way.

And then he did it again when a Raiders player, I think it was Ruggs,

caught a ball, and it was not even – the ball didn't even come close to touching the ground. He just threw the challenge.
He's like, I don't like the outcome of that play. Yeah, he should not have access to the challenge flag anymore.
It was... He should lock it up.
It was a bad scene because it truly was like... It was reminiscent of a little kid just trying to change the rules of something in the middle of the game, being like, I don't like how this is going.
Timeout. Let's change how the rules are interpreted here.
I also think we might be on Vic Watch. I think Vic Fangio is probably on his last season.
The thing that he has going for him is he has already got three wins in his back pocket. So it's a little different than Joe Judge, but I would agree.
I think Vic Fangio is probably not going to make it out of this year. And Teddy Bridgewater was bad today.
He had four turnovers, which is very un-Teddy-like. But yeah, Vic Fangio, it's too bad.
And he'll go back to being a defense coordinator somewhere and build an awesome defense. It'll be incredible.
That's just how it's going to work. He's the best defensive coordinator in the game right now.
Next week now is building up. Thursday night is building up to be a loser leaves town game with Denver and Cleveland.
Because it feels like whoever loses that game is going to be real doom and gloom. Because both teams are like, if we are for real, we should win this game easily.
So Cleveland is 3-3 right now. To me, I thought that the Browns, if you'd asked me just off the top of my head, what's the Browns' record, I would have said probably like 4-2.
I would have said like 6-3. Yeah.
And I was like, we're not in Week 9? I forgot about that Chargers loss already. I forgot about the Chiefs game.
Well, that's what it is. The Chiefs game at the start of the year, that felt like a win for the Browns.
It was a huge win. That was a big-time win.
It was a huge win. They lost 33-29, but they really won.
Right. 29-33.
Yes. But yeah, the Broncos are in trouble.
Rich Basiccia, though, is a hero. We are on Rich Basiccia.
We're going to ride this wave. Next week, they're playing the Eagles.
Ride it. Love it.
Yep. Rich Basiquia.
I'm all on board. And he's just like everything about him.
He just has a look to him. He's very smooth.
I fucking like this guy. It's a guy that you can tell he shaves his head every day.
And he coached for 38 years without getting a head coaching kick. Probably because he didn't want one, right? No, he did, I think.
Oh, really? Yeah. He he probably something rich did in the interviews probably didn't go so well yeah i i you know what it is persecution of italians yeah there you go persecuted class in the world i actually thought that it was just like the mark of a true football guy if you coach for that long and you just never want to be a head coach yeah you just like being around the guys yeah being in a locker room yeah once you once you're head to be their dad.
You'd rather be their fun uncle. Yeah, exactly.
Bruce Arians, right? Yes, Bruce Arians. All right, last game, Cowboys-Patriots.
Hank, this was, well, this is, Billy said, the fuck shit game of the week. I still don't really know how the Patriots didn't cover three and a half.
That was complete and utter bullshit. Hank, though, your thoughts on this game because it felt like, I mean, PFT put it perfectly earlier, the Patriots are really good at almost winning games.
Yeah, that's pretty much their identity this season. Their defense is horrible.
Couldn't make a stop. Cowboys were getting like 15, 20-yard plays.
It seemed like every single, every other play. 445 yards is the most a Bill Belichick defense has ever let up against a quarterback.
It was wild. Every single time, Dak would drop back on a ton of pressure and then just get a wide-open guy in the middle of the field for 30 yards.
Are you concerned about your head coach bleeding from the mouth during this game? That's vintage Belichick. I'm not a chapstick guy.
That's like chapstick. It poisons your brain to convince you that you need more chapstick.
That's true. So once you use it once, you get dependent on it.
That is true. Same thing with water.
Yeah, but water, you need water. Never drink water.
You don't need chapstick unless you use chapstick. I've never used it.
Never needed it. Built different.
That's interesting. But yeah, it seemed like there was going to be some Mac magic at the end this was gonna be like his you know his showing up game it wasn't uh bad pass to uh that got intercepted yeah i mean credit it was it was a good he threw multiple passes over 10 yards today so it's like there was some some some looks in the right direction and credit to mac jones because he threw that interception and then he went right back and threw that touchdown.

So it's like, hey, that was nice that he was able to shake it off.

But, yeah, that was – it's crazy.

Again, I keep saying, but it's crazy they didn't cover.

There was also like three or four fourth and one, fourth and two,

fourth and threes that they just punted every single time

and it's like they knew they couldn't stop them,

so why not just go for it?

Yeah, no, that was a big-time give-up play at the end where I think it was like fourth and two around midfield. It's like you have to try to win the game here.
If you give Dak the ball, they're just going to score. Everybody knows it.
I'm going to say something that's probably going to hurt you, Hank, but that game was a game that the Patriots always win and the Cowboys always lose. Yeah, I mean Patriots are 0-3 at home.
It's just not. It's a different Patriots team than the Patriots that we're all used to.
Did you see Jerry Jones kissing people on the lips in his suite afterwards? Beautiful. Up in the booth? Just guys going in for it.
Yeah, it's not pause, it's not sus, if it's right after a big win on the road.

And I think that was his first time ever winning in Foxborough.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

He has every right to open mouth kiss his uncle if he wants to. Yeah, and I think the Cowboys, I don't really know what the Patriots are.

I think they're a frisky bad team.

Or maybe a bad team.

They're a team you don't want to see late in the season.

There you go.

That's actually perfect. But credit to the Cowboys because it's never easy.
Every game is tough in the NFL unless you're playing against the Texans or whatever. But that was a game it felt like the Cowboys always lost.
And I also kept waiting for the big mistake. Right.
I didn't get my good fix of a big Cowboys mistake. Or like Mike McCarthy just like complete and total brain fart.
Right. Something you're waiting for that the Cowboys were able to just overcome.
And Tony Romo calling that game. Hank said he should be fined by the FCC.
I actually agree with Hank. Tony Romo.
Bad performance today. That was actually what that's probably if like in 20 years when they write the book about Pardon My Take, I think that like us being the first to say, Tony Romo, not that good.
That would be a big one. That would be a big one for us.
But he's stoned today. I think people are starting to slowly come around.
And once you get Hank started going down like a very slippery slope, so he hears one bad thing that Tonyony romo says now you've got his attention and

now he's listening to everything oh he was on him he is picking up he was on his ass even the smallest

most microaggressions that probably weren't even real but hank was you were observing them like a

dog that can no he was like yeah he was like trolling patriots fans yeah no he's trolling

you personally the patriots don't throw it deep and he's like if i was mac jones i'd throw it deep

knowing that that's what fans internally want and he knows that they're not going to but he just

Thank you. you personally.
The Patriots don't throw it deep and he's like, if I was Mac Jones, I'd throw it deep knowing that that's what fans internally want. And he knows that they're not going to, but he's just fucking with us.
Hypothetically. If I was Mac Jones here, I'd be bombing it 30 yards every play.
Is it possible that Tony Romo actually thought that Mac Jones should try to throw the ball a little bit deeper? No, I think he was trolling. He was trolling.
The homerism was blatant the entire day. Either way, I do think Mac Jones...
As an announcer, Jake, I'm sure he didn't... I don't think he saw the whole game, but he would have been disgusted if he heard what was happening.
Yeah. The Patriots playing like two out of the last three weeks in like primetime slots or, you know, this wasn't a primetime, but it was when there's only two other games.
You're right. I do think Mac Jones is like, he's getting better.
Yeah, like I said, he had multiple, usually before there was no big throws. He had a few today.
Yeah, a few big throws. So Trayvon Diggs had his seventh interception.
He then got burned on the next play. But just for, I went and looked back because I was just curious for uh some context in the last obviously interceptions aren't the end all be all stat for cornerbacks but they're obviously a big deal in the last 40 years there's only been four cornerbacks who have been defensive player of the year uh deon or rod woodson had eight interceptions in 2000 or.
Deion Sanders had six in 1994. Charles Woodson had nine in 2009.
And Stephon Gilmore had six in 2019. So Trayvon Diggs already has more interceptions than half of the cornerbacks that won defensive player of the year.
The record is 14 in a season. You know who has dick night train lane ah great name old dick all-time nickname i mean your name is your name is dick lane and you even have a cooler nickname than your name dick lane right night train yes badass guy he had 14 inter interceptions um i feel like at some point they just have to stop throwing to his side of the field, right? Because the Deion Sanders stat that you had in 1994, that was still well in the era of teams being like, we're just not going to throw.
I'm going to cut the field in half. Whatever side that Deion's on, I'm going the other direction.
At some point, teams have to stop throwing him the ball. But then they scored the touchdown against him.
And I don't know if the safety obviously needed to be helped. But he did get turned around.
Tyron Diggs did bite on it and get turned around off the line. I don't know if it probably wasn't 100% his fault, but he also was out of position.
Right. But I feel like at some point they're just going to stop passing the ball in his direction.
So he would be my MVP right now. Seven interceptions is crazy through six games.
But I feel like in the next couple weeks, he's probably not going to get above ten interceptions another year. The opportunities.
It's like Chandler Jones getting those five sacks. We still are waiting for six.
Is he still alive? Is he around? Five. All time.
Week one. Everyone remembers Chandler Jones.
Get everyone talking about it. And, like, you'll remember him all year.
He put in all his work week one. Everyone remembers Chandler Jones.
Get everyone talking about it. And you'll remember him all year.
He put in all his work week one. Yep.
He's like, I'm good. It's smart.
Yeah. It's a smart way to do business.
I don't even think he showed up. He might not have played today.
I think he did play today. Did he? Yeah, I think he played today.
All right. Those are the games.
Cowboys are good. Cowboys are good.
It's weird to to say but the cowboys are a good team uh well actually let's do it for the nfc so the nfc we did it for the nfc super bowl contenders in the nfc i think it's cowboys bucks packers rams rams cowboys bucks packers rams cart yeah we almost unintentionally disrespected. I got them.
But those are the five. Yeah, that sounds about right.
So it sounds like six weeks into the season, a third of the way through the season, it feels like there's about nine teams total that I could see them being in the Super Bowl. Well, I'm going to take one away.
I don't think that the Packers can be in the Super Bowl this year. I unfortunately— – It's Aaron Rodgers.
He doesn't win. He doesn't win.
All right, I like that. That's true.
So Packers are eliminated. I appreciate that you did that to me.
That was a big friendship moment right there. All right, let's get to football guy.
Hockey is on. And no matter the city, no matter the team, no matter the game, whether it's face-off or penalty shots, regular season or playoffs, win or lose, no matter what happens, no matter where it happens, New Amsterdam Vodka is there.
All right, Billy, Football Guys of the Week. So last week's winner was Dan Campbell for crying.
Many are saying he cried too early in the season now, so that could have changed. He won last week, so that's all that counts.
So our first nominee is Owen Begman, an O-lineman from McQuaid High School in Rochester, New York, who broke his leg. Look, these are great football guys.
Like, what if I just had a bunch of stories? How did you find this story? Oh, I'm deep. People are just sending it to you because they know that you'll highlight these high school football stories.
Yeah, well, there's some of the best stories. Okay.
Some of the most football played. Like, think about it.
There's more high school games than there are college. Whoa.
Pro. Anyway.
There's more football. So he broke his leg, and he was getting carted off.
It looked like a really bad fracture. How do you know? Because I can see the video.
Oh, there's a video? Yeah. Okay.
So anyway, he gets carted off in a stretcher, and while he's getting carted off, instead of just giving the crowd a thumbs up, he gives them a thumbs up and like a whipping type motion where he's like pretending he's driving off the cart, which is pretty chill because it just shows that, yes, he's okay, but he's more than okay. He's whipping it off the field.
We've lost the plot on football guy there. I think I get it.
If you saw his ghost riding the whip. Yeah, but that's not a football guy.
Yeah. That's a football guy.
No, that's not a football guy. I thought you were going to say someone tossed him a beer and he chugged it and smashed it.
Wait, wait. Okay.
Anyway, the second one. Someone beat the number two team in the country and then chugged a beer on the field.
No, well, that's number three. Oh, shit.
Anyway, so second one is they didn't have, this one is also a high school football game between Elmwood, Brinfield, Lewis in high school. They didn't have a quarter for the coin toss, so they just decided to do rock, paper, scissors in order to get the game going faster.
Again, that's not a football guy. That's a football guy.
No, it's not. They want to play the game sooner.
They could have just said, you get it first, we'll get it second. I know, but they just did it.
They played rock, paper, scissors before game. That's your football guy? Yeah, instead of the coin flip.
Are you acting like the game would never have been played? Well, they just wanted to get it going's like, Zoolander? Yeah. They're like, oh, we don't have a quarter.

The game's canceled.

Sorry.

Okay, so number three is Greg Long, Purdue offensive lineman,

who after a beer was thrown on the field, he didn't want to waste it.

He chugged it during their winning when they beat them 24-7.

Let's talk about that game real quick.

We've got to give a shout-out to Purdue.

I know that I have mean words about Purdue, but that was a hell of a win. Also, crazy stat, Purdue has the most wins as an unranked team in the history of college football against the No.
1 or No. 2 team with nine times they've done it in the history of the program, and the next closest is four.
That's kind of crazy where it's like at the same time a very good compliment and indictment of the Big Ten because they have so many teams that have been ranked number one that are also capable of losing to a team like Purdue. Some of them are non-concred.
They beat Notre Dame, I think. A lot of them happened a long time ago, but remember they beat Ohio State when they were number two a few years ago.
But that was a big, big win for Purdue. And Iowa, I'm sorry, Iowa.
Iowa fans, they were starting to really feel... Because they were doing the...
Oh, we'll always have that week iowa fans again iowa and wisconsin are very similar in football programs and like how everyone like reacts to it so iowa was just reacting to the fact that everyone hated watching iowa football from a national perspective but they were starting to feel themselves like you're gonna fucking watch it and you're gonna like it because we we're fucking number two in the country and there's nothing you can do about it.

Well, big bad Purdue walked in and stole your lunch money. They were like, we're making ugly sexy.

Right.

We've got the best fullback in center,

which I still think they have the best fullback in center.

Yeah, no, they're still a very good team.

They're still a very good team.

But, yeah, that was short-lived.

Yeah, it was fun, though.

I'm glad that we got to give Iowa a shout-out.

Yeah, number two for a while. But, yeah, Purdue, that was a hell of a game.
Because they not only beat them, they whooped them in their house. Go ahead.
The last nominee is Bill Belichick for playing with blood streaming down his face and not using chapstick. Which, that is a football guy.
I'm not so sold on the fact that it was just chapped lips. I think he had, an internal mouth injury.
He also had a cut on his nose. Yeah.
So he got in a fight with like a raccoon that was trying to eat his trash. He probably, there was probably some type of wild animal that was going through his trash.
And he's like, they're going after my secrets. And he like wrestled with a raccoon.
It was Steve. Yeah.
Steve going through his trash. Steve's still doing the crazy mouse stuff.
It's amazing. Just put a dip in, dude.
It's amazing how they caught him on the sidelines, and for the only two seconds that the camera showed him today, he was doing the mouth thing. Yeah.
I saw Bill, once he started tasting blood inside his mouth, he started doing the mouth stuff too. Belichicks, weird birds.
All right. Thank you, Billy.
You're going to write the blog? I already got it. Okay.
Awesome. Football guy of the week.

Go vote on it.

All right.

Let's wrap up.

Let's do who's back of the week, and we'll send everyone on their ways.

Paul Bissonette, Biz Nasty on Wednesday's show.

Get excited.

It's going to be awesome.

From TNT.

From TNT.

Hey, what's going on there, pal?

We saw you at the hockey game on.

Do I know you guys?

I'm Ryan Whitney.

I got a drink named after me.

Not a big deal.

Pink Whitney?

That's what I thought.

See you, fellas.

I invented the thing, you pigeon.

Pink Whitney for legendary moments.

Hank.

Who's back of the week is America's pastime.

Baseball.

Yes.

And we'll be playoffs have been buzzing along.

The Braves hit a walk-off as we were recording this. They this they're up to nothing the red sox are tied 1-1 going into this week i'm gonna watch baseball this week it's gonna be a big week i'm gonna watch baseball playoff baseball it's similar to playoff hockey for me personally where watching the regular season doesn't matter how much even if i bet i just don't get that interested in doing it and playoff baseball and playoff hockey like i don't even have to have any rooting interest in the game you can just feel the intensity like the Dodgers Giants game 5 was an all time intense baseball rivalry game it made the case great for robot umps at least for the check swing thing I feel like first base umpires just make it up most of the time when they ask to appeal appeal to first base.
His explanation was, I thought he went, so I called it a strike. Yeah, that's it.
They're like, well, I guess we can't argue with that. I'm pretty sure the human eye isn't capable of determining what angle a bat is at during a check swing from 90 feet away.
The rules itself, you have to offer up. It's so stupid.
Baseball's back, though. Baseball is big time back.
When it comes to appealing a strikeout like that, what if the catcher had never pointed at the first base umpire? They always do. Does the first base umpire, though, does he have in his head, he's like, I have to wait if they call on me.
Have to be called on? Yeah, if I get called on, he's out. This is my moment.
I need to be authorized.

That's what he was thinking.

Yeah.

He had a strut.

Like, he walked it off and walked it off.

Yeah.

I'm going to watch some baseball playoffs this week.

Because it's very weird.

On a college football Saturday and NFL Sunday, I did not see a single pitch of game two of the Red Sox Astros

or game one of the Braves Dodgers. Not even even a pitch two grand slams and two innings i i'm gonna get i'm gonna get on that shit all right i'm gonna start watching that what i like about playoff baseball is the players actually care about the game and a lot of times during the regular season they're just like they're bored when they're at the game.
It's like, this is August. It's hot outside.
This sucks.

Shout out Jock Peterson's bat too.

Anthony Rizzo's bat. But that's what I'm rooting for

in that series. Just so everyone knows

where my allegiance

is lie. Fair enough.

PFC. My Who's Back of the Week

is Succession. Succession's

back on. It was out tonight.

No spoilers, please. We haven't seen it yet.

Hank, are you caught up?

Yeah. Okay.
Well, no.

Not caught up?

I'll be episode behind. Imagine if we found a way to watch the episode while we're here and then spoil it to Hank.
We wouldn't do that. That would be amazing.
Actually, should we delete this entire part? Because now people are definitely going to. Yes, absolutely.
Okay. Yeah, I'll delete it, guys.
Okay, thanks, Hank. Appreciate it.
Wait. Are you going to prank me? Yeah, no, I got you.
All right, who's your who's back, PFT? My who's back of the week is not the TV show Succession because I don't watch it, and so it'd be pointless if somebody tried to spoil it for me because it's not like I spend my time watching it or reading fan theories about it. So don't even bother.
Okay, nice. Greg dies.

Good who's back.

Damn it.

Greg the Egg.

Should we do a recap on Wednesdays?

Succession isn't owned, it's leased.

Yes.

Rent is due every day.

We won't call it that, but we will do a recap on Wednesdays.

We'll do like a five-minute quick recap.

If you watch the show, maybe put it before Guys on Chicks. We all watch the show here.
It's a very awesome show. Guys on success.
Yeah. All right.
My who's back is the Chicago Sky. Won the WNBA championship.
If you don't remember, I was a two-time. I don't think you say two-time.
I owned season tickets for two years. Oh, congrats.
So, huge day. Did you get a ring? I don't think so.
I missed the game. It was on during NFL Sunday.
But I just told you that part about baseball, so that's not sexist of me. I just don't watch other sports in the fall.
It's nice to be an owner of a franchise in Chicago and be able to say, you know, I own these tickets. Yeah.
What do you mean? It's just, it's cool. That is cool.
Yeah. I don't own them anymore, but yeah.
Is this an Aaron Rodgers thing? God damn it. Yeah, shout out to Sky.
And also, who's back is Live Sports, because I went to Tennessee on Saturday night. It was fucking awesome.
The fans might have gotten a little out of hand. I say let them throw.
Throwing golf balls and mustard bottles. I heard you were encouraging it.
I was. I actually was just standing on the field with a huge hot dog being like, has anyone got any mustard? And that's how it all started.
It's very funny that people actually went to games with golf balls in their pockets. Yeah, I was thinking about either that person uh is just such a down in the dumps tennessee fan that they're like at some point i'm gonna want to throw this golf ball at someone or most likely it was just like a drunk dude who was golfing earlier than the day yeah and just forgot you're wearing cargo shorts and it's in that pocket maybe you haven't watched it from the last time you went golfing.
It happened to be there. And honestly, if you pick up a golf ball at a game and you're frustrated, it must feel so satisfying to throw the golf ball.
You're actually going to throw the golf ball. As long as no one gets hurt, I say litter.
Yes. I'm pro litter at football games.
But Knoxville was incredible. That stadium is awesome.
We were on the field for the beginning, the beginning of the game. Just sick.
College football, there's nothing, nothing like college football from, like, a live sports action, like, the band, everything. What were you going to say? You think something's better? No, I was going to say, should we talk about the more unfortunate college football news? What? Oh, our boy.
Coach O. Coach O got fired because he likes me.
He's too horny. It's a separation agreement.
A separation agreement. Thank you.
You know what? That's the official word. It was mutual.
Yeah. It was his idea as much as it was theirs.
They're going to stick around for the kids for the rest of the year. Yep.
Try to make it work, and I'm sure that'll go fine. Sorry, Kojo's a red-blooded American.
The problem is he's too vivacious. Yeah.
He's too in shape. His libido is too robust, and really all he was doing is he saw a woman and he invited her to work out with him.
Right. Is that a crime? She happened to be pregnant and also the wife of a high-level guy at LSU.
But that, to me, actually is he was looking out for the baby's health. He was trying to save her life and maybe the baby's life.
Yes, exactly. So Coach O.
He went undefeated. Yeah, 2019 flies forever.
So he'll be back somewhere. I don't know where.
But someone will be happy to have him as a recruiter. I wouldn't be surprised if he just kind of, like, you know, hangs out in Baton Rouge and then in 10 years.
They hire him again? Yeah. He could do that.
That would be sick. I mean, he should just hang out.
Like, once that donor dies or whoever it is. Next time any program needs an interim head coach.
He should be interim for hire. He should be a full-time interim coach.
Yes. Yes.
It is sad. It's a sad end of an era, but it was a hell of an era.
It was an awesome, awesome time. We love Coach O forever.
They asked him what his future plans were. He said, I think he'll have me enough money to buy a hamburger.
There we go. He's going to be eaten.
Coach O, you want to come to New York? Hop on the podcast. We'd love to have you.
So how was the scene in Baton Rouge? It was awesome. I mean, always.
Definitely, I've been lucky enough to be a lot of college atmospheres. It's definitely the most authentic college atmosphere that's also crazy on game days.
It doesn't matter that it was an 11 a.m. start.
The game was a shootout. One of the most fun.
A rivalry? It was crazy. Fun games I've been to where it's like we were on a bachelor party.
Everyone bet that over, and we were just rooting for points the whole time,

never in doubt.

Florida's quarterback that they put in second is Cam Newton 2.0.

He's on my big board for Heisman next year.

He passed the eyeball test. Who else is on your big board?

Him.

Caleb Williams?

Yeah, Caleb Williams.

I haven't seen Caleb Williams with my own eyes.

It's just him.

Okay, just him.

There's Hank's big board.

Billy, you're who's back. My who's – It's actually D3 football.
All right, Jake, who's your who's back? Oh, go ahead, Billy. Go ahead.
No, there was just a D3 football game between two Wisconsin,

Platteville and Wisconsin lacrosse, where at the end of the game,

it was 23-24.

Lacrosse is the name of the town.

We got to move there. It's the town of the future.

That's awesome.

Fastest town on two feet.

Anyway, they were about to set up the game-winning field goal. It was 24-23, and their quarterback was supposed to spike it.
He kneeled it with two seconds left. Yeah.
That's the one mistake you don't want to make. And this guy had a great game, too.
He had, like, 463 yards and two touchdowns, but that's a heartbreaker. That's your who's back? Yeah, just it's a great story.
I mean, it's a bad story, but like... I guess...
We needed to hear that. That has to be mentioned.
Like, what do you do if you do that? Imagine if there was people going to their work today and they couldn't talk about Northwestern lacrosse. Dude, okay, who's back in the week?

Batman.

Fucking Batman's back.

What's Batman up to?

It's a fucking new movie.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I didn't even watch it.

Is that what you nerds want to hear?

Batman a football guy?

No.

It's the Batman.

It's a different title.

When is it back?

Is it Christopher Nolan?

No, it's fucking vampire.

Twilight, yeah.

Wait, is it a cartoon?

No, it's like goth noir. No, I want Christopher Nolan to just make more Batmans.
Goth noir? Yeah. There's like an artsy Batman.
With a vampire. If Derek Carr was Batman.
Not even. Is he a billionaire? I think so.
Derek Carr's got some flow, by the way, right now. Big time.
Definitely growing that out. Jake, you're who's back.
Oh. The 280-day drought is over.
Rams 38, Giants 11. I'm sorry we didn't mention that.
No, it's good because I was saving it for this anyways. So were you on a plane? I was on a plane.
I bought the Wi-Fi. It was kind of sketchy Wi-Fi, in and out, but enough to witness it with my own eyes.
Mini Firefest. What do you mean, witness it? You were watching the game or you were watching the scoreboard app? No, there was – you were refreshing Twitter.
No, you could watch the game. Well, you were watching the game.
Yeah, but it was like buffering. Got it.
I forgot to mention this. I was going to text you too.
Will Wade was just sitting in our seats yesterday. Oh, really? What? Yeah.
Why? We walked up to our seats, and I'm looking at the tickets, looking at him. I was like, I think this guy's in our seats.
And he had a credential, and I was like, Will Wade, football coach or basketball coach, whatever. And I was just so thrown off in the moment.
This was right when we walked in. I was like, just not.
I was like, prostited all quickly was an open lane like two rows behind. We were 10 guys.
I was like let's just sit up here for a second and figure it out. If these people come, I'll go tell – I'll go kick Will out of our seats.
Make him a damn strong offer. He's an American gangster after all.
Yeah. Yeah.
That's true. But the people in our seats never came and he left after the first half.
So that never had to happen. But I was getting myself ready to be like, hey, Will, produce part of my take, blah, blah, blah.
Also, can you get the fuck out of my seats? Yeah, scram, bro. He left at halftime, though? Yeah, but it went somewhere else.
There was a bunch of – you could tell it was a bunch of recruits or coaches and stuff. I think they just walked up, took the seats, and then were waiting for someone to kick them out.
It's still so awesome to me that Will Wade... It was a hilarious, like, what are the chances? Yeah.
Will Wade was just basically like, no, I think I'm going to keep coaching. Yeah.
Forget about the investigation. No, you can't do that.
Yeah. I'd rather continue to coach, so I'm going to do that.
Shout out to Sean Miller. I think he's been fired now, right? No.
Yeah. They hired Tommy Lloyd, the Gonzaga assistant.
That's right. But Sean Miller did the same thing where he's just like, yeah, I'm just going to coach through this.
Yeah. Respect.
Yeah. It turns out that's all you need to do.
He did a documentary review. Yeah.
He was like, yeah, no, if you guys don't have anything firm here, we're just going to keep going. Because it turns out like the NCAA is fake.
Yeah. It's just people that gave themselves jobs.
Yes. And so if you just say, no, I don't feel like it, there's really nothing they can do.
Anyways, three weeks until the season starts. Ken Baum came out today.
Oh, nice. Very exciting stuff.
Nice. Yeah.
Who's on your big board? Syracuse. Okay.
Nice. Scorigami, though.
Huge moment. Yeah, a little bit of a fire fest, not being able to witness it with you guys here.
It's all we were talking about. I know.
I'm not going to lie, Jake, and I know this is probably going to hurt you, but no one said anything about it. Yeah, but a lot of people care.
I did. When they showed the graphic later on, I was like, oh, I wouldn't.
Jake, you would have been on it beforehand. beforehand oh he would have been telling us the whole time but we we just lived life without knowing it so it kind of worked out i wasn't here yeah you guys have to deal with yes no no no it's not a deal with you thing it's just it was i wish you had been here okay and then i would have actually even known that it was happening and the lunder hit and the lunder hit it's a great day for a lot of weird things i root for if you went and worked uh you know like let's say you got sun in football tomorrow and we never saw you again i don't and you asked me what score gami is like 10 days from now i'd be like i don't fucking know so i appreciate what you do yeah of course my hack is that i i see if a game's going into overtime, and then I'm like, that's probably going to be a scoregami if it ties.

No, 2020, like tonight, I had no shot.

No shot.

Damn, dunked on BFT.

What if it was 23-23?

No shot.

I don't think so.

No shot.

He gave you a no shot.

Damn, no shot.

He gave you a no shot.

All right.

Because they used to tie all the time back in the day, right? I think that's what it is. Yeah.
22 is a tie. 25 is a tie.
32 and 36. So he did have a shot.
So 15. All those ties.
23, 23 would have been a – No. Oh.
No, no shot. All the ones I just listed would be Scorgambis.
Jake said no shot. He meant no shot.
He knows what he's talking about. Have we ever had two scorgambies in one day? I don't think so.
We had 12 last season. So like in 50 years, there'll be none left? The website goes up to 7351.
It could happen. Someone has way too much time on their heads.
But then again, I have dumb hobbies too. Actually, I don't.
I just watch too much football. For the record, it's 1-14.
It is 1-14. A little early.
A little early. Billy, got anything off? Yep.
Any other D2, D1, AA, FCS? This is the end of the show, right? Yeah. Okay, so.
College rugby? Just wanted to give you guys some updates. Pop Warner? CT scans on Daryl Taylor were clear.
So the guy who got carded off the field, he's doing well. I doubt he's doing well.
Well, he's not. He's doing better.
He's got it. We're being positive.
He didn't even do the whip dance when he was getting carded off. Yeah.
If he did the whip. How good could he be feeling? No, but if he'd done the whip dance, then we'd all been like, oh, that's fine.
He's doing okay. Also, the reason they don't show fans on the broadcast is because advertisers could pay their bail and make it really cheap to advertise on the broadcast if they had someone run out with a sign or something.
Got it. Got it.
That makes sense. Yeah.
And then also, even though we said that this was a bad week of football like aren't we thankful that we have football? Oh yeah. For sure.
Because remember we almost didn't have it COVID. But here's the thing.
It's important to say how you feel about the week of football. Otherwise you can't be like every week rules.
Because then you can't actually genuinely say the weeks that rule rule. Perspective.
It was still good to have football, though. You're right.
Of course. You're right.
We're thankful every day for football. I would like to win a few more bets and the Bears to not lose to Aaron Rodgers every single time.
Is that so much to ask for? No. All right, numbers.
69. 97.
96. 18.
52. Scorgami Fifty-two.

Scorgami.

Damn.

Ooh.

Uh-oh.

It moves from five to six.

Second place behind the juggernaut, 47.

47.

Wow.

The goat.

Fish don't pay taxes.

Love you guys.

What inside joke was that?

No. Oh.
You don joke was that? No.

Oh.

You don't get it?

No.

They go to school though.

Love you guys. Love you guys.
