Speaker 2 You can tell my voice has been through some shit. I had a terrible football weekend.
We'll get into everything. We got fastest two minutes.
Who's back of the week? Football guys of the week.

Speaker 7 All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars. One made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.

Speaker 7 Only one Reese's peanut butter lover's protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter, and only one Hershey's cookies and cream protein bars is made with Hershey's cookie bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar.

Speaker 7 One bars are the perfect protein bar to get you through your busy day, whether you need a quick pick-me-up between meetings or you need some fuel to power you through through your next workout.

Speaker 7 One also has other delicious flavors like birthday cake, maple glazed donut, and blueberry cobbler. Find all one bars at a retailer near you or on amazon.com.

Speaker 2 Okay,

Speaker 2 let's go.

Speaker 2 No place to hang out or washing.

Speaker 2 And then I can't blame all on the sun. Oh, no, we're gonna rock it down to Elite Trake Avenue.

Speaker 2 And then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 2 Oh, we're gonna rock it down to Elite Trake Avenue.

Speaker 2 And then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 8 That's part of my take presented by Brussels Sports.

Speaker 2 Welcome to Part of My Take, presented by Dave and Busters. Go check it out, the greatest place in the world to watch sports this fall.
Today is Monday, September 27th,

Speaker 2 week

Speaker 2 three.

Speaker 2 We start in western New York. It was showtime and Josh Allen's sexy rocket arm blasts off and connects with Emmanuel in space.

Speaker 2 Sean McDermott's brave heart was no match for the football football team as a

Speaker 2 franchise known for Scottish Norwood's battle against Longshanks couldn't be exploited by Gibson as the Bills stone the football team to death.

Speaker 8 They killed them, Boom.

Speaker 2 And no one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills. Bills 43, football team 21.
What?

Speaker 2 In Nashville, where Frank Thomas Reich and Carson Wench's long white socks couldn't cover up the big hurt his ankles were feeling.

Speaker 2 Mike the Rabel guy is thinking about cord-cutting his penis again as the Titans are steaming their way to the top of the division.

Speaker 2 One night in Paris, Campbell said, you can finish on my Chester Rogers. Meanwhile, Derek Henry Winkler stole all the Colts.
Hey, and is giving Tennessee fans happy days. The Titans, 25.

Speaker 2 The Colts, 16, the Fonds.

Speaker 2 Hey!

Speaker 2 In an MDMI battle between Maryland and Michigan, Mollywood Brown had Lions fans in ecstasy with all the pills he was dropping in the stadium. Devin Duvernay

Speaker 2 galloped his way into the end zone.

Speaker 2 Jared Hasselgoff and Dan Campola Anderson baywatched Justin Tucker Carlson go super far right on an early kick before lining up from 66 at the buzzer and ending the Lions' chances at defeating the bird gauntlet.

Speaker 2 Doink, Ravens 19, Lions 17.

Speaker 2 We go to Bleveland where the Bears offense was buzzing as Justin Yields took the wheel on every drive, stayed in his lane, and wouldn't cross that yellow first down line.

Speaker 2 Khalil went Mac, Mac, Mac, Mac, Mac, Mac, Mac to the locker room as Laker Mayfield and Kareem Abdul Jahunt dunked on the Chicago defense and showed them who the real Hoopers are. Wake up, Naggy.

Speaker 2 I think I got something to say to you. It's late September, and the Chicago Bears are 1-2.
Cleveland, 26. The Bears, 6.

Speaker 2 We head down south to Jacksonville, where Trevor Gami Lawrence looks good on paper, but folded to a stout Cardinal defense in what could be Urban Meyer's Swan song.

Speaker 2 James Connor McGregor scored a proper 12 points on two touchdowns. God hates Jags as Christian Kirk and the NFC Westboro Baptist Cardinals looked at Trevor Lawrence's passes and said, Let's pick it.

Speaker 2 AJ Green Mile was supernatural as he electrocuted an innocent secondary and paying homage to Michael Clark, Kyler Murray Duncan, all of his doubters as his Cardinals are three Amarosa.

Speaker 2 Cardinals 31, Jaguars 19. Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop,

Speaker 2 what?

Speaker 2 We go to Kansas City where aha Hatrick Mahomes and Edwards Hilarious were giddy after chiefing but couldn't compensate for a laughable Chiefs defense. Asante Samuel Jr.

Speaker 2 placed cornerback just like his daddy. You guessed it, Asante Samuel Sr.
That's wild, Boom.

Speaker 2 After throwing the no-look interception of the year, Mahomes found Judge Jody Fortson, who made the Chargers' defendants look like fools. I said, maybe

Speaker 2 you're going to get a win, Coach Staley.

Speaker 2 And after all,

Speaker 2 you're two and wonder why

Speaker 2 the San Diego Super Chargers find their oasis in Kansas City. The Chargers starting.
The Chase Corner.

Speaker 2 Out in Vegas, in a city known for plastic surgery, Peyton Barber, Streisand still managed to have a nose for the end zone.

Speaker 2 Alec Ingold Bond, Medicated Power, and Talcum Brown got applied to the balls and absorbed touchdowns. Truth or dare, Ikar admitted he has a crush on Hunter Renfro.

Speaker 2 Casey Anthony Hayward wrapped up her waddler because any good mother knows safety first.

Speaker 2 In overtime, Daniel Hawk Carlson took a dump down the dolphins' blowholes and just as we all expected, Las Vegas is at the top of the AFC West. Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? The

Speaker 2 Raiders 31, Dolphins 28.

Speaker 2 We go to Los Angeles where Deshaun Jackson Mahomes poured cold water on the Bucs defense and awkwardly danced his way into the end zone.

Speaker 2 Aaron Hernandez-Donald made Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski feel very scared and uncomfortable in their locker room.

Speaker 2 Turn up the Sony Michelle Stereo because Tom Brady DMX was shaking his head saying, Y'all gonna make me lose my mind. Cup in here, cup in here.
Sean MCV was asking, Where are my dogs at?

Speaker 2 And Matt Staffordshire Terrier delivered some bad news to the Bucs. The Rams, 34.
The Bucs, 24.

Speaker 2 Standing on the corner, Jameis Winston down in Nola.

Speaker 2 Such a fine sight to see.

Speaker 2 It's a pass my lord led by Kendrick Bourne Max mr. T-U-I-N-T

Speaker 2 come on patent

Speaker 2 people are saying

Speaker 2 the patriots might suck they're for late

Speaker 2 saints go marching 2813

Speaker 2 And that is fastest two minutes week three.

Speaker 3 I'm not going back to college to be your friend. I'm going so I can get Uber One for students.
It saves you on Uber and Uber Eats.

Speaker 3 I'm there for $0 delivery fee on cheeseburgers, up to 10% off smoothies, and 6% Uber credits back on rides. Just to be clear, I'm there for savings, not whatever you think college is for.

Speaker 6 Get Uber One for students, a membership to save on Uber and Uber Eats. With deals this good, everyone wants to be a student.
Join for just $4.99 a month. Savings may vary.

Speaker 6 Eligibility and member terms apply.

Speaker 8 I just want to raise my hand and say it was fucked up to make you do all the big noises. The Raiders, the Braveheart, all that stuff coming off this weekend.
Well,

Speaker 2 do we even have to talk about football? We don't.

Speaker 8 You know what we'll talk about instead? We got a really nice new paint job in the studio. Look at that.
Yeah, that is nice. We're driving a car.

Speaker 2 I wish I could go back to Thursday when I announced that basically all my happiness is at stake this weekend. And then every single thing that could have gone wrong went wrong.

Speaker 2 And I am in a football torture chamber that we can start with where we always start the Sunday night football game. And Aaron Rodgers

Speaker 2 shitting down my throat just to add to I was already dead. My corpse was already there, so it was actually, you're fucked up, Aaron Rodgers.
You're a pervert. You're Italian.
You're a pervert.

Speaker 2 You're a necrophiliac.

Speaker 8 I'm beginning to think that he doesn't actually wish you peace and love.

Speaker 2 No, I'm dead.

Speaker 2 I was a dead person laying there watching Sunday night football. And yeah, it turns out

Speaker 8 he wishes you terrorism and hate.

Speaker 2 Yes, yes. All the hemming and hawing about Aaron Rodgers possibly not caring, possibly not being still one of the best football players on planet Earth.
Turns out maybe not true.

Speaker 2 Turns out maybe a little premature. Turns out he's still pretty fucking good at football.

Speaker 8 I think there was hemming. There wasn't hawing just yet.
Hawing. I was doing both.

Speaker 8 You were hemming and hawing, but I think most people, we stuck to the hemming, and Aaron Rodgers went out there, lit it up. The throws to Devontae Adams are just insane.
You can't guard him.

Speaker 2 Nope.

Speaker 8 Even

Speaker 8 if you play perfect coverage against Devontae Adams, guess what? He's going to throw the back shoulder. If you play the back shoulder, he's going to lead Devontae Adams.

Speaker 8 It's almost impossible to defend him when he's dialed in. And he was definitely dialed in.

Speaker 2 And he also has Marquez Valdez Valdez Scantling, who's faster than everyone else on the field. So every now and then, like, oh, let's just do this, where it's the other side of the field.

Speaker 2 We'll throw to someone who's way faster than everyone.

Speaker 2 The sad part about this is Jimmy G had a drive to maybe save his

Speaker 2 starting job because because he had moments tonight where he was not looking great. They even brought in Trey Lance to run the touchdown play, which Kyle Shanahan deserves credit for.

Speaker 2 Big balls, two seconds left in the first half, bringing the touchdown play. Trent Williams with like an ⁇ I know he weighs like 150 pounds more than the defensive back he blocked, but it still was.

Speaker 2 Jeff Schwartz, I want to see that with the dirty sword.

Speaker 8 He'll hit the spoon on it. So Trent Williams, he bench pressed another grown man in that play.
Like literally bench-pressed him, almost threw him out of of the back of the end zone.

Speaker 8 And as bad as this weekend is for you,

Speaker 8 I'm not going to downplay your football sorrow.

Speaker 2 We have a lot of stuff.

Speaker 8 Anytime this shit happens on Sunday night,

Speaker 8 they always have to stick it in my face that Kyle Shanahan and Matt LaFleur

Speaker 8 and Sean McVay were all coaches on the Washington football team at the same time, and we let them get away.

Speaker 8 Now the record's like 110 and 60 or something stupid like that, and that's counting the bad seasons that the Niners have had with no quarterbacks because of injury.

Speaker 8 and then we have Trent Williams just dominating people just shoving people over yeah but it was a situation where I did I did the basic PFT tweets again tonight and I said too much time on the clock for Aaron Rodgers like five times but it's actually true it's a hundred percent if you if you give aaron rods I would say 19 seconds is not enough time for Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 8 Anything above 20

Speaker 8 is too much time.

Speaker 2 It's crazy because they had no timeouts. So you basically have to do the perfect drive and he did it.

Speaker 2 Like you have to get a big big first down 20 30 yard gain which they did uh you know i think they had one incompletion and then he makes the next throw over the middle to devontae adams and gets up to the ball and he knew it you saw him fist pumping mason oh my computer's making noise mason crossbar hits the game winner well packers i would say like if we're doing winners and losers this week just position wise fullbacks had a monster weekend but kickers had a monster weekend too an even better weekend for the kickers so he drilled a 51 yarder just pure at the end.

Speaker 8 And you knew what was going on. Aaron Rodgers knew it was in when he completed that last pass and he spiked the ball.
And then, you know what? Okay, I'm going to take a stand for 49ers fans.

Speaker 8 Go back, look at the tape. I'm pretty sure that Aaron Rodgers taunted after he spiked that ball.
I think he gave like a fist pump right in the face of the Niners' defense.

Speaker 2 That would have actually been incredible if that ref crew had called that taunting after they didn't call Devontae Adams getting like missled in the sky. Oh,

Speaker 2 not anything.

Speaker 8 I learned a new term tonight for football. I didn't know this, but the independent concussion concussion watcher, when he spots somebody that might be concussed, he wears a red hat.

Speaker 8 And so he goes and they call him the red hat guy. Yep.
And they grab the guy. They go into the blue tent with the red hat, and then they do the evaluation.

Speaker 8 I don't think that they actually did a serious evaluation

Speaker 8 on Devontae Adams because he probably shouldn't have come back in the game.

Speaker 8 But you know what? He did. Yeah, he did.

Speaker 2 And the Packers won, and the Packers look like a true Super Bowl contender. And they, I mean, that's not an easy way.
Like, I think think the Niners are a good team.

Speaker 2 I don't think that there's anything to be shamed about for the Niners going toe-to-toe there.

Speaker 2 I don't know, it feels like their quarterback situation will, at some point this season, there will be like a crossroads. It feels like all we're heading towards that.

Speaker 2 But as of right now, they're still a very good team.

Speaker 2 George Kittle's a monster. He had that one catch where he was just fighting everyone down the field.
And Debo Samuel is, I would say, throw it out there,

Speaker 2 the number one guy right now whose name matches his play. Because every time he makes a catch, it's like, holy shit, he's a man.

Speaker 8 I love watching George Kittle. I almost call him Greg.
I think his name's Greg at this point.

Speaker 2 His name is Greg.

Speaker 8 I love watching Greg Kittle in the open field because, you're right, he actually does get into fights. Yeah.

Speaker 8 Like, if that were to take place at any point outside a football field, it's like two places.

Speaker 8 One, outside of a club in like Baton Rouge, and two, just like on an African safari in the savannah, where it's like a lion taking on six wildebeests that gang up against him.

Speaker 2 That's That's what Greg Kittle is. Old lion.

Speaker 8 Except the lion wins.

Speaker 2 Yes. Yeah, no, it is very reminiscent of a guy, a way too drunk guy with superpowers trying to fight off a bunch of bouncers as he's getting kicked out of a bar.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Or like when you used to watch cops, now canceled, but cops, which I watch many hours of, whenever they would come across someone who maybe had dabbled in some angels dust or, you know, something like that where they had superhuman strength, Greg Kittle is always on angel dust.

Speaker 8 He's on PCP.

Speaker 2 He plays like he's on angel dust. Yeah.

Speaker 8 I do agree with you, though. I think that the clock is ticking on Jimmy G.

Speaker 2 It just feels like...

Speaker 8 Did Jimmy G get traded mid-season?

Speaker 2 I don't know if he'll get traded because you wouldn't. Just trade him to the Patsy.

Speaker 2 The 40s would be just for this week.

Speaker 8 That'd be incredible.

Speaker 2 We'll get to all the rookie quarterbacks today because it was a tough day for rookie quarterbacks across the league. But

Speaker 2 Jimmy G, I think you keep him because you have a roster that is Super Bowl caliber. So you don't want to like, what happens if Trey Lance gets hurt, especially if you're running him.

Speaker 2 But it does feel like if they can bring Trey Lance along and Jimmy G does just enough, like there'll be a point where like, all right, to take this offense to the next level, Trey Lance has to play.

Speaker 8 So the old saying, like, if you have two quarterbacks, you don't have one, they probably just have one quarterback. They can just say like, Trey Lance is just, he's our offensive weapon.
Yeah.

Speaker 8 And he happens to start at the quarterback position until he gets hurt. And Jimmy G is our quarterback.

Speaker 2 And listen, there will be moments in this podcast where people will be like, that's hypocritical because you're saying other starting rookie quarterbacks should play right away.

Speaker 2 And I think that's true if you are not contending and trying to win football games right now. Like, you don't, if you're Kyle Shanahan, you don't want to lose games because Trey Lance is not ready

Speaker 2 when you're a playoff team. Like, you're trying to go to the playoffs.

Speaker 2 So at this point, you don't want to give away a game for a rookie mistake when you could possibly keep winning games with Jimmy G.

Speaker 8 And Trey Lance is still adapting to NFL speed because he came from FCS. Yeah, one game.

Speaker 8 I love, by the way, I love, I absolutely love how on ESPN they keep telling us like FCS parentheses division one double A. Like that was last year that they changed the name.

Speaker 8 I'm pretty sure it hasn't been that way in like 20 years. No.
But as an old person that like my brain sometimes is stuck in sports memories from the year 2004,

Speaker 8 I appreciate them letting me know that. But yeah,

Speaker 8 I don't necessarily think this is a, like, there's just one ball thing. No.
No offense to the other Lance. Yeah.
But I do think that they can share time.

Speaker 8 I think that there's ways to incorporate them into the game and probably be a better football team in the long run.

Speaker 2 Yes. All right.
So that's Sunday night football. Should we move to the next?

Speaker 2 We'll start with actually the craziest ending of a game this week. The Ravens, Lions.

Speaker 8 I'm sorry, I forgot one thing. What? This is pretty important.
We have a handshake controversy. Why? After the game, Shanahan and LaFleur did the breeze buy.

Speaker 2 Oh, they don't love it.

Speaker 8 Trouble in Paradise. I love it.
Two best friends. I love it.
If I was Matt LaFleur, I'd actually be pissed off because during the broadcast, I think Collinsworth or Al Michaels kept saying that

Speaker 8 LaFleur learned everything that he knows about football from Kyle Shanahan.

Speaker 8 I don't know if that's necessarily true, but they kept repeating, like, this is where he got everything that's in his brain right now.

Speaker 2 Who breathed by who?

Speaker 8 I think it was a double breeze by. Oh, because

Speaker 8 I heard an interview with him before the game, and they used to talk almost every day on the phone, and they haven't talked in a long time.

Speaker 2 I actually don't think that this is bad because

Speaker 2 they did like a half-hug pat on the the back so i'm not counting this as bad blood i'm counting this as that was a really close game i don't really want to talk sit and talk to you on the field i don't know i think kyle shanahan's pissed at him or uh lafleur's pissed at kyle shanahan for the aaron rodgers stuff for trying to take another man's quarterback no because this this if you want to say anyone's doing the breeze by here it's probably more shanahan than lafleur so if we're really going to break it down LaFleur does the pat on the back.

Speaker 2 I'm not counting this as a breeze buy. I don't think they have a big, I don't think they have a beef.

Speaker 2 I think that's Kyle Shanahan, the competitor being like hey i don't really want to catch up with a friend right now after i just lost a heartbreaker okay all right and everyone's you know cheering on the the packers are like going crazy on the field so i'm saying no beef okay we'll keep an eye on him no beef um all right the uh best game or the best ending for a game this weekend ravens lions so let's start there uh stop me if you heard this before but the detroit lions got screwed i think at this point the saddest part about the lions getting screwed is they've been screwed so many times and they've been cast off so many times as a fan base that people just don't, they don't really advocate for them anymore.

Speaker 2 It's like, well, it was a 66-yarder. It was fucking sick.
What are you going to do? So if you missed it,

Speaker 2 there was a moment. So the Ravens are driving to get a game-winning field goal.

Speaker 2 It's like, what was it, like fourth and 18, actually? No, no, no. Fourth and 19 was what they converted.

Speaker 2 So they converted a fourth and 19, which if you want to say, hey, the Lions, you could have won the game right there.

Speaker 2 You could have won the game right there if you don't let them convert a fourth and 19. It was like seven seconds left.
It actually was an incompletion, but it was very clear.

Speaker 2 I think Mike Torico even tweeted as 1.5 seconds elapsed from the moment it went zero on the TV to the moment the ball was snapped, which I know that they might be different than the clock in the stadium.

Speaker 2 It can't be that different.

Speaker 8 No, it's not that different. Dan Campbell was saying after the game, like, yeah, we expect to get a letter from the league office being like, hey, our bad.
Sorry about that.

Speaker 8 So Dan campbell saw the same thing that we saw he said it doesn't matter he said tomorrow we'll get an apology and it doesn't matter it doesn't matter i love that mentality dan campbell and the the lions are definitely frisky they're gonna play everybody hard they play very very tough yeah if they can stay relatively healthy with the players that they have which are not great they're still gonna play everybody tough yes and uh yeah we time i had jake time it actually i think we got to like point 1.9 seconds one 199 19 199 but at any rate no matter what happens because i know how they judge it on the field which is the back judge looks at the clock when it hits zero, then he puts his eyes on the ball.

Speaker 8 If the ball's not moving, he throws a flag. So, either this back judge has the slowest eyes in America, or he just fell asleep during a play and didn't call it.

Speaker 8 So, it's or he was caught up in the moment, too.

Speaker 2 No, or he hates the Lions, which is probably the most likely. And he knows that if you screw over the Lions, there's really nothing anyone will do about it.

Speaker 8 Right, well, we should do something about it because this one is fucked up, and it's also the second time that the Lions have lost on a record-setting long field goal.

Speaker 9 Yes, 51 years ago. Actually, both 19 to 17 final scores.

Speaker 2 They showed it. Yeah, 19 to 17, Saints beat the Lions.
And then they also showed it the last time that Justin Tucker was in Detroit.

Speaker 2 They walked off with a 61-yarder, I think, was what he hit to win that game. I think that was a Monday night game in 2013.

Speaker 8 Maybe the most heartbreaking part of it was the kick was up. It was dead center.
It hits the crossbar.

Speaker 8 And the Detroit Lions fans behind the crossbar stand up and start cheering as the ball is floating in the air, going over and into the net.

Speaker 8 I don't think that the Lions can have a closer loss than that. I don't think maybe I'm like tempting fate and Lions fans, if you're listening to me right now, you're like, just wait.

Speaker 8 We'll figure out a way to make it stupider next time. But I don't see how it gets any closer.

Speaker 2 No,

Speaker 2 it was so Detroit Lions from like everything. The fourth and 19, giving that up.

Speaker 2 It was like fourth and 19 on the Ravens' own 10-yard line. Like, you just get one stop.

Speaker 2 They didn't rush enough guys. Like, fourth and 19, they're playing a zone.

Speaker 2 Lamar lost it over fourth and 19. The clock, the rest fucking up the clock, and then the doink to go in with a record-setting.
Like it's not just a field goal.

Speaker 2 It's a record-setting field goal to lose that game. And

Speaker 2 my good friend Detroit Don DM'd me a couple hours after the game. He just said, I have no words.

Speaker 2 And I was like, dude, that technically is words, but...

Speaker 8 You're right. No, I don't think I saying I have no words should not count as that.

Speaker 2 Those are words.

Speaker 8 You're just, you're communicating. Yes.

Speaker 2 But it's so, so bad. Now, we should give the Ravens some credit because,

Speaker 2 well, I mean, they played poorly today. I wasn't actually, if you look at it, you're like, oh, Lamar Jackson wasn't the best.
It was Hollywood Brown just dropped every ball.

Speaker 8 He sucked today. He sucks.
He sucks so bad.

Speaker 2 He's so bad.

Speaker 8 Occasionally he'll show up. If he's got like three yards of separation, he'll make a 56-yard touchdown catch once every three weeks.
But besides that, he stinks.

Speaker 2 He dropped three touchdowns, two on the same drive. You know how hard that is to do?

Speaker 8 If you can touch it, you can catch it, right, Hank?

Speaker 2 And also, if you're Holly Brown. You're the one rolling football.
Yeah, if you're Hollywood Brown, I guess the only spin zone is like, I got open. Yeah.
And I beat my man a lot.

Speaker 8 You can't, at some point, the nickname has to go away.

Speaker 2 I don't think you can call yourself

Speaker 8 Marquise Brown

Speaker 8 until he has a game with zero drops. Yeah, that was.

Speaker 2 Well, it's because he's from, that's where he's from in Florida.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I know, but it's Marquise now. It has to be.
Fair. You can't.
TFT's right. You can't be Hollywood Brown right now.
You can't drop three touchdowns.

Speaker 2 And especially when Lamar Jackson, like, you know, there are actual debates about his ability to throw from the pocket, which I think is fair to at least throw out there.

Speaker 2 And then you're really not doing him any favors when you just keep dropping touchdowns. Yeah.
Yeah. So it's not on Lamar.
It was on Marquise Brown.

Speaker 8 Here's a fun stat. Lamar Jackson is undefeated when he has diarrhea.
There we go. This game and then the last year last year in prime time.
Beautiful.

Speaker 8 He's had diarrhea for like 10 days now.

Speaker 2 Just give him some chili. Give him some chili and let him cook.
Yeah. On his chap shit.
He's on his chap shit.

Speaker 2 Should we talk real quick, though? Justin Tucker giving him his flowers.

Speaker 2 Is he the greatest kicker of all time? I know Adam Vitatari obviously has the most clutch kicks, but Justin Tucker is insane. So 66-yarder,

Speaker 2 breaks the record. Matt Prater had it at 64, which was mile high.
So that doesn't, I mean, that's different. Asterisks.
Yeah, Asterix.

Speaker 2 Actually, the kick he missed earlier in the game was the first ever kick he missed in a dome. So he had been perfect in a dome.

Speaker 2 I looked at it. He's 98.9% extra point in his career, 90.7% field goals in his career, and he's never missed a kick, a field goal, in the final minute of a regulation game over 15 tries.

Speaker 2 I think that's true. That's clutch and incredible.

Speaker 8 It perfectly correlates to the Brady Rodgers debate. Because I'd say Adam Vinatieri is the greatest of all time, and Justin Tucker is the best of all time.

Speaker 2 And Justin Tucker has one ring. Yep.
Yeah. But he's, I mean, he's incredible.
He's like...

Speaker 8 Wait, no, Aaron Rodgers has more than one ring, right?

Speaker 2 No, no, no, no, no. He has more than one NFC championship appearance game.

Speaker 8 Oh, shit. Okay, I guess I've lost it.
But he's lost.

Speaker 2 He's so good. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Love and peace to Aaron Rodgers, by the way.
I really should have tweeted that while the game was still going on.

Speaker 8 That was an all-time reverse tweet.

Speaker 2 Well, actually, no, the worst tweet of the weekend was actually when I said Man Campbell's going to go crazy in the locker room

Speaker 2 right before the fourth and 19 play. So I'm sorry, Lions fans, you actually, I should have added that.

Speaker 2 You had the refs, you had the history of the Detroit Lions, you had Justin Tucker, and you had me just having the worst-time jinx tweets all going against you.

Speaker 8 Spin zone for Lions fans, though, you guys put up a great highlight at halftime when Calvin Johnson got his ring, his Detroit Lions ring, and then the owner of the Lions was out there on the field.

Speaker 8 I forget what her ring was last Ford. Yeah, Martha Ford, but she's got some other last name now.
And the entire crowd just booed the absolute shit out of her.

Speaker 2 Yes, it was great.

Speaker 8 It was so loud. I love it.
I love any chance that you get to boo the owner of the team, excuse me, the governor of the team.

Speaker 8 It was great. So, good job, Lions fans.
I think America is,

Speaker 8 we're sick of seeing the Lions lose like this. It's not fun.
I take no pleasure in the losing

Speaker 2 pleasure.

Speaker 8 Well, there's certain franchises that I love to see them lose.

Speaker 2 It was one of those things, too, that if you're going to lose in this tragic fashion, at least do it on a primetime game so that people can actually feel bad for you.

Speaker 2 When it happens during the witching hour, we've already moved on to the next four games. So it's like your moment of everyone being like, holy shit, it really sucks to be a Lions fan

Speaker 2 gets passed over. So we're giving it to you right now, Lions fans.
It sucks right now. But I have a spin zone.

Speaker 2 Dan Campbell, like, I know that we poke fun, everyone pokes fun. Well, we actually kind of love him, but you know, the meat head, you know, the biting kneecaps, you know, Metallica, all these things.

Speaker 2 I think he actually has them like going in the right direction. Yeah.
And he said after, he said the quote was, we can get discouraged and we can stop continuing to believe and fight.

Speaker 2 I love the grit of this freaking team. He said freaking, so I appreciate that as well.
But

Speaker 2 I actually think the Lions, like, the roster is not great, and they're fighting, and they're playing really hard. And if you want to really break it down, they have played the Packers.

Speaker 2 Who did they play week one? Oh, the Niners, the Packers, and the Ravens. One half of each of those games, they were incredible.
Yeah. No, they're

Speaker 2 playing them all in a half of the game.

Speaker 8 They're playing really hard. The best thing that the Lions could do this year is to lose every game, be competitive in every single game.
So

Speaker 8 you know that you're very close and you know that you have some pieces to build on and then get a sick draft pick. Yeah.
Probably not lose every game, but you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 8 Like it's not bad what they're doing.

Speaker 2 Don't say that because that actually has to happen.

Speaker 8 I don't want it to happen yet. And it's 17.

Speaker 2 You don't want to be the first team to go 0-7.

Speaker 8 You don't want to set any records. Yes.
Maybe, yeah, maybe win three games this year, but remain competitive in all of them because they're not a bad football team.

Speaker 8 And Dan Campbell's a good head coach, I think. Anthony Lynn, as offensive coordinator, is an awesome offensive coordinator.

Speaker 2 Well, he doesn't have to worry about timeouts.

Speaker 8 That's the thing.

Speaker 8 He's completely freed up his brain to he no longer has to pretend to care about analytics. Right?

Speaker 8 So, he's got somebody else that's in charge of the decision-making and the high-level stuff that you have to answer for. And Anthony Lynn, the bird brain, is no longer in existence anymore.

Speaker 8 Now, it's Anthony Lynn, the very competent offensive coordinator.

Speaker 2 I love it. Sometimes there's guys should be coordinators.
That's that's a fact. Um, all right, so sorry, Lions fans, that was terrible.

Speaker 2 But in a weird way, like, when you rack these up, it just, I mean, I want to say someday, someday. I think

Speaker 2 someday, and you'll have all these moments where you can look back and be like, remember this, remember that? Yeah. Someday.

Speaker 8 There are a few teams that you can say they're close. I don't think the Lions are in the they're close.

Speaker 2 I'm doing the someday.

Speaker 8 But

Speaker 8 they're on the right track conversation.

Speaker 2 They're doing what you have to do if you're a Lions fan is essentially say,

Speaker 2 I hope to live to be 80, and that's hopefully enough years that eventually it will turn.

Speaker 2 Like by math, by law of averages, if you're a 30-year-old Lions fan, you're saying at some point in the next 50 years of my life, it will turn.

Speaker 8 And you're looking frisky with one of the worst rosters in the NFL. Frisky, here's a fun game to play.
It's called Name a Detroit Lions wide receiver.

Speaker 2 Kenny Galladay's gone. He's gone.

Speaker 8 Not Slayton, he's gone too. Yeah.

Speaker 8 Golden Tate's also gone.

Speaker 2 I've got one. What is it?

Speaker 8 Amon Ross St. Brown.
Boom. It's a cool name.
That is a cool name. That's why I remember it.
That's a huge name. But yeah, it's not a good sign.

Speaker 2 Oh, no.

Speaker 2 I know one. Quintez Cephas, Wisconsin.
There you go. I knit.
Okay.

Speaker 2 There we go. Got it.
Nailed it.

Speaker 2 All right. Next game.

Speaker 2 Washington football team bills. So 21 Washington football team bills, 43 PFT.
Yeah. I give you the floor with a simple question.
What's up with the defense?

Speaker 8 We suck. We suck.
We're a sucky bunch of sucks, and we can't stop sucking.

Speaker 8 That's the only thing that I can say. Like, at some point,

Speaker 8 I need to figure out a reason why we suck. Right.
And I don't know why.

Speaker 2 Same guys.

Speaker 8 So I've got one explanation.

Speaker 8 It's maybe the worst explanation, but it's still something.

Speaker 8 Chase Young does too many commercials.

Speaker 8 What about

Speaker 8 I don't know. It's a terrible excuse.
I don't have a real answer for you.

Speaker 2 You want to go all Dan Woken on everyone and be like, the vaccination thing caused the riff in the locker room? It could go with that.

Speaker 8 There you go, because they're up to speed on their vaccinations now.

Speaker 2 Are they? Yeah, they are.

Speaker 8 But no, but you might be right. There might still be lingering bad blood.
Right. Like, they're passing around too many YouTube videos instead of watching films.
Yes.

Speaker 2 It was, I mean, it's just shocking because Taylor Heineke, nice guy. He's back to undrafted, by the way, if you want to do the status, undrafted rookie.

Speaker 8 He had what you got to call head scratchers status. Yeah, so

Speaker 8 he looked okay at times, too.

Speaker 2 Yeah, if we're doing the Scott Turner, you know, sliding scale, which Scott Turner was correct, that we do this whenever a guy has a bad game, we're like, oh, he's undrafted for a reason.

Speaker 2 Well, if we're going to do that, he's undrafted for a reason after this week. Yeah.
But I still like him, but yeah, he's undrafted for a reason.

Speaker 8 I think he's a decent quarterback.

Speaker 2 I think he'll be fine later.

Speaker 8 Well, we got to wait. This was just a shit kicking.

Speaker 2 He's got to be good again, and then we can be like, wow. Right then.
How was he undrafted?

Speaker 2 The touchdown was sick.

Speaker 8 Well, Taylor Heidegger, he loves nothing more than diving for the pylon. He knows that when the ball touches the pylon, it looks fucking awesome, and we all remember it.
Yep. He's correct about that.

Speaker 8 He'll always remember that. So good job, Taylor.
But yeah, this is

Speaker 8 it's not, we don't really have much to build on from this game, except we executed the longest on-side kick in the history of the NFL. That's huge.

Speaker 8 Where the ball bounced back, and our kicker recovered it.

Speaker 2 And also, Josh Allen's back.

Speaker 2 Not that he was ever gone, but the Bills looked like they're rounding back into form.

Speaker 2 Like, it's so weird to think how crazy the NFL season is because we'll get to the Steelers game, but the fact that the Steelers beat the Bills week one, I don't think that

Speaker 2 if you just play that in 10 weeks from now,

Speaker 2 the Bills will probably be favored by a million because it's just the Bills needed a week to get going. They killed the Dolphins.

Speaker 2 They actually had a streak there of what is it, 35 plus 21, quick math.

Speaker 8 56.

Speaker 8 You got to be able to do that with gambling math.

Speaker 2 56 straight points. Well, none of my teams ever come close to scoring that much, so I can't really count touchdowns anymore.

Speaker 2 One, one touchdown I can count. But yeah, the Bills

Speaker 2 are back to being looking like a serious, serious Super Bowl contender.

Speaker 8 This was one of those history games, too, where the Washington football team hasn't won in Buffalo since 1987. Whoa.
Which is a long time.

Speaker 8 It's a very misleading stat because they play probably once every eight years or something stupid like that.

Speaker 8 But yeah, it was just, it was never going to happen this week. I said going into it, it's a measuring stick game.

Speaker 8 I think I just repeated what Ron Rivera said, and I just bought into it but uh the measuring stick is not we're we're using a protractor hey there's

Speaker 2 a yardstick the bills jumped out 21 nothing the washing football team came back made it 21 14.

Speaker 8 we made it real interesting and then it was just yeah but chase young said after the game uh this week he has he has one rule no bullshitting okay if somebody's bullshitting you let me know so if anybody sees someone bullshitting Let me know so I can let Chase Young know.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Okay, perfect.

Speaker 8 No bullshitting. No bullshitting this week.

Speaker 10 Have they they like asked, hit you up since you're like a fan ambassador or whatever? Been like, hey, what's going on? Do you have any input?

Speaker 8 No bullshitting?

Speaker 2 No bullshitting.

Speaker 8 I agree. I co-signed no bullshitting.

Speaker 10 Yeah. Episode no?

Speaker 8 You got to pin your ears back on defense. No bullshitting.
My feedback. No bullshitting.
No, no. You got to pin your ears back and you got to set the edge.

Speaker 8 You got to have your first rounders play like first rounders out there. No bullshitting.
No bullshitting.

Speaker 2 No bullshitting. All right.
Colts, Titans.

Speaker 2 Speaking of vaccine comments, did you see Jim Ursula? Well, Jim Ursa's band is awesome. Yeah.

Speaker 2 That was the highlight of the week, though. That was incredible.

Speaker 8 So what he does, I guess he does this on a regular basis. He just busts open his guitar collection, and then he has people who actually know how to play guitar come and play his instruments for him.

Speaker 8 It's great. As long as he can sing,

Speaker 8 which he sang beautifully. He sang all along The Watchtower.

Speaker 2 It's, I mean, this is...

Speaker 2 Listen, I know that it's not in vogue to be rich anymore, but Jim Ursa does rich correctly. He's a rich guy who's like, he's going to just kind of talk a little bit about his team.

Speaker 2 He owns a sports team. He collects a bunch of guitars.
He gives away money on Twitter, and then he has people play his guitars while he gets to sing and be like, I'm in a rock band.

Speaker 8 Yeah, he's a poor guy's rich guy. Yeah, it's great.
I love seeing it. If you have enough money like that,

Speaker 8 all I would do, I would own a sports team and I would buy a shitload of guitars. Right.
That's it. So he's living my dream.
Right.

Speaker 2 But he did say,

Speaker 2 I couldn't tell whether it was, it took a little bit of a turn because he had a comment about Carson Wentz, like his availability, basically being like, stop getting hurt.

Speaker 2 But then he also kind of turned that into a vaccine thing about Carson Wentz not being vaccinated. It feels like maybe Jim Ursa is a little, maybe the bloom is off the rose with the quarterback.

Speaker 2 He's paying a lot of money to not play or play poorly.

Speaker 8 Do you think there was a bloom?

Speaker 2 I don't know. I think maybe there was a two-game bloom.

Speaker 8 There could have been.

Speaker 2 The two-game bloom.

Speaker 8 I think there was a bloom right after they traded for him.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 8 And then the bloom went away when they saw him practice.

Speaker 2 But I bring that up because Carson Wentz gets credit for gutting it out through two ankle sprains, but also, I think, gets credit taken away for, I think you hurt your team because Jacob Eason probably would have given you a better option.

Speaker 8 Yeah, two sprained ankles.

Speaker 8 I get that he doesn't want to sit out.

Speaker 8 It's a good thing that he doesn't want to sit out. But it was visible.

Speaker 2 There were moments that he could not make plays with his feet or he didn't trust where he was going because he didn't have any mobility. So I don't know.

Speaker 2 I mean the Colts, they lose Quentin Nelson to it said high ankle sprain. He gets carted off.
It feels like

Speaker 2 the things are kind of spiraling for the Colts here. Yeah.
I don't know. Let's see what their schedule is.

Speaker 8 The big winner, I think they play the Dolphins next week. So they could get a win next week, maybe.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 But yeah,

Speaker 8 with Carson Wentz, the big winner in this is Philadelphia. Yeah.
Because the more he plays, the more likely they are to get a first-round pick.

Speaker 8 So I think I forget what the exact parameters are, but he has to play, I think, over 75% of the snaps in a certain amount of games or whatever.

Speaker 8 So this was big. The fact that they put him out there today

Speaker 8 meant it was much more likely that the Philadelphia Eagles are going to get a first-rounder for Carson Wench, which is just, it's crazy to say that that was the price tag on Carson Wentz.

Speaker 2 Very crazy. I think the Colts could be 5-5.
I just looked at it through their first 10 weeks. They still have, coming up, they have the Dolphins, Texans, Jets, and Jaguars in some combination.

Speaker 8 There you go.

Speaker 2 So that's actually,

Speaker 2 there's your silver lining.

Speaker 8 Then they get Sam Ellinger back.

Speaker 2 Yes, Sam Ellinger comes back. Then anything can happen.
Then the moon.

Speaker 2 By the way, I like, you know, not just because he is a co-worker of ours, but Terry Luon, who obviously was terrible week one, got shit on a bunch.

Speaker 2 He came back. He played well.

Speaker 2 You know, didn't mention him. Derrick Henry ran well, didn't give up any sacks.
I actually thought he had some great comments after the game because he got booed coming out on the field.

Speaker 2 And he was like, that really hurt and i like i was in a very very dark place after week one and it was very very hard like that was the hardest thing i've gone through is like fighting back from that much public humiliation and coming off an acl i just i don't know it was very honest and i i appreciate whenever an athlete's honest and that's not just because he's a co-worker but Good for him that he was able to get back out there and play well.

Speaker 8 Yeah, yeah, he did block really well, and Derrick Henry ran like a fucking monster. But this is, it's weird to see Derrick Henry playing this well this early in the the season.
Is he peaking too soon?

Speaker 8 I don't know. And sometimes we had that conversation and we're just like clearly bullshitting about the peak too soon.
He might actually be peaking too.

Speaker 8 I think he's peaking too soon.

Speaker 2 This was also the Titans didn't play that great, but it was, you can just chalk it up to it's tough to win division games. It is, yeah.

Speaker 8 It's tough to win division games. These guys beat each other up twice a year.
It's tough. They got a lot of film

Speaker 8 on the other franchise. So yeah,

Speaker 8 the Titans look good. They clearly look like the best team in that division.
And I don't know who's second place.

Speaker 2 Probably the Colts.

Speaker 8 I can't imagine it would be the Texans or the Jaguars.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 2 That was one versus two.

Speaker 8 You're probably going to finish second place in the division this year, regardless of what happens.

Speaker 2 That's a good point.

Speaker 2 All right.

Speaker 2 Bears, Browns.

Speaker 2 Go off. I mean,

Speaker 2 that was really hard to watch. That was really, really hard to watch.

Speaker 2 Nine sacks.

Speaker 8 Is there a chance that Matt Nagy was right?

Speaker 2 Wait, wait, wait, wait. You didn't let me finish.
Okay.

Speaker 8 Matt Nagy was right that Andy Dalton is better at running the Andy Dalton offense than Justin Fields is at running the Andy Dalton offense.

Speaker 2 Here's how fucked up I am in my own head right now. Here's how much Matt Nagy has me twisted around.

Speaker 2 I think he threw that game to try to prove that he's right, that Andy Dalton's a better quarterback than Justin Fields right now. Because that's the only explanation for the play calling.

Speaker 2 and the game plan that he put out there. He, and so much so, I saw after the game, Matt Nagy in his post-game press conference was like, yeah, Justin Fields

Speaker 2 might have hurt his hand at the end of the game, his throwing hand, and Justin Fields was like, no, I'm fine. See, he's like, he's doing this to fuck with Bears fans.

Speaker 2 He's doing this to fuck with me personally.

Speaker 2 He is basically saying, all you think you know more than me, I'm going to show you that Justin Fields stinks by making him a pocket passer, giving him Andy Dalton's pocket, not moving the pocket, not doing anything creative, not getting anyone schemed open, not doing any run-play option, having the offensive line, which is terrible, be very, very terrible, watching him just die out there just so I can say, I told you so, I'm smarter than you.

Speaker 8 I don't think that you're actually that insane because

Speaker 8 I saw a lot of people that watch a lot of football that are in no way connected to the Bears say the exact same thing today: that like Matt Nagy is not doing Justin Fields any favors, and it's almost almost like borderline

Speaker 8 mismanagement, criminal mismanagement, criminal, put him in chains done. The hag, what's the hag? The hag, yeah, Yeah, Netherlands.
I think it's the Netherlands. It's the Hague.

Speaker 2 Fucking

Speaker 2 put his ass in the hag. Put Matt Matt Nagy in the hague for fucking war crimes.

Speaker 8 Crimes against football.

Speaker 2 This motherfucker, he's like mustard gassing his own fan base. It's terrible.
He's a fuckhead.

Speaker 8 Matt Nagy, Saddam Hussein.

Speaker 2 I'm not going to say his nice hands.

Speaker 2 Yeah, no, I really had the thought. I was like, is he doing this on purpose? Is he doing this to fuck with us? Because it really was Andy Dalton's pocket.

Speaker 2 It was so incredible. And

Speaker 2 you know what? Let me do this real quick. Justin Fields didn't play well.
He really didn't. He did not.
Like, there's not a lot that you can do with that offensive line.

Speaker 2 Turns out maybe getting Jason Peters off the street as a 39-year-old who's

Speaker 2 going to be probably a Hall of Famer, but he's 39

Speaker 2 doesn't really work out when he's going up against Miles Garrett. Justin Fields did miss some throws.
You really can't say anything about 6 for 20 for ⁇

Speaker 2 well,

Speaker 2 I have a problem with the fact that the NFL does, because, you know, there's memes going around.

Speaker 8 They include the stats.

Speaker 2 Sacks include his passing yards, negative passing yards. So everyone's like, Justin Tucker's field goal was longer than the Bears' total yards.
Fuck that. Justin Fields had 68 yards, motherfuckers.

Speaker 2 A passing. 68.

Speaker 2 That's crazy.

Speaker 8 I saw one dude say that Justin Fields had one yard passing.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that's because they take away sacks. They sacked nine times.

Speaker 8 I've never seen that not used in a plural form.

Speaker 2 Yeah, no, he had a yard.

Speaker 8 He had a yard of

Speaker 2 passing. They had 47 yards total.
Yes.

Speaker 2 But again, it's bullshit. It's bullshit that they count sacks as negative passing yards.

Speaker 8 So 19 yards shy of Justin Tucker's field goals.

Speaker 2 But he had 68 yards passing. Yeah.
For real.

Speaker 8 We were right, though. We were right.
We said that Matt Nagy would run the same offense. We saw this coming a mile away.
Yes.

Speaker 8 But we were wrong because I thought that Stefansky would prepare for an offense that was going to run a different offensive scheme.

Speaker 8 But no, it turns out Stefanski is smart and he prepared for a matchup against an idiot. He's an idiot.
So he was very well equipped.

Speaker 8 I saw a quote from Matt Nagy after the game that said, there wasn't a lot we could do because they were coming off the edge real hot.

Speaker 8 And so we were kind of limited in what we were able to run offensively. It's like,

Speaker 8 that's exactly where you run.

Speaker 2 You're hired.

Speaker 8 That's exactly where you run the RPO. That's where you run the insides, the zone read.

Speaker 2 Bootleg, get him out of the pocket. If the pocket doesn't work, move the pocket.
You control that. You are the head coach.

Speaker 2 You're the offensive coordinator, which I should add, Matt Nagy fired himself as offensive coordinator last year, and then this offseason rehired himself as offensive coordinator.

Speaker 8 So he's got to do the Mike McCarthy and fire himself again.

Speaker 8 And then towards the end of the year, don't do it. Don't do it just yet.
But what you got to do, Matt Nagy, if you want to extend your job, here are the steps.

Speaker 8 You hold off on Justin Fields for as long as you possibly can. Then you bring him in and run a slightly different offense with slightly better results.

Speaker 8 And then when things start to sputter, you fire yourself as offensive coordinator.

Speaker 8 And then you're like, let's build on this for next year under this new format, the new organizational chart that we have inside my own brain.

Speaker 2 Hank, were you going to say something?

Speaker 10 I'll wait till the end. I just have to ask a follow-up Friday.

Speaker 2 I want to say something real quick, though. I want people to do a little policing on the internet this week for me.
This is all I ask. I'm as low as I could possibly be.

Speaker 2 Thank God we don't talk about college football on Monday shows.

Speaker 2 I'm as low as could be.

Speaker 2 It was a terrible, terrible football weekend. Watching the Bears is painful.
It's excruciating. It's disgusting.
Everything is just terrible. I want you, though, to do me this one favor.

Speaker 2 If you see or hear talking heads, be like, see, this is why Matt Nagy had Andy Dalton playing and not Justin Fields, tell them they're fucking idiots, please, because that was never the point.

Speaker 2 The point has always been the Bears are going nowhere. We know what Andy Dalton is.
Why not try to see what you have in a rookie QB that you just, you know, used a lot of draft capital on?

Speaker 2 Play Justin Fields play the rookie I didn't expect Matt Nagy to run a terrible terrible offense it doesn't change the fact that I want to see Justin Fields out there so please call out anyone who says Bears fans are so stupid for calling for Justin Fields no we're not we don't want to see Andy Dalton because Andy Dalton is what he is very nice guy but he is what he is he's not going to do it this team's not a playoff team they weren't a playoff team if they had Patrick Mahomes as a quarterback there's flaws all over the roster we want to see the young guy because there's no reason to play andy dalton and win win like six games.

Speaker 2 There just isn't. I'd rather see Justin Fields progress.

Speaker 8 Do you think that Matt Nagy is lazy and that's why he hasn't updated the playbook? He's just like, I don't really feel like it.

Speaker 2 Probably. I hate him so much.
I really, really, really hate him.

Speaker 8 It's all the Browns fans. Credit to the Browns.

Speaker 2 No, they're awesome. They really play bullyball.
The Browns.

Speaker 8 The Browns are going to beat the shit out of the Steelers next week.

Speaker 2 Yeah, they are. The Browns, the best compliment I can

Speaker 2 pay to the Browns is they are so good now at like running their offense. Every time they run a screen pass, I just expect to go 25 yards.

Speaker 2 They have that thing going where when Baker dumps it off to Chunt, it's like, okay, they're perfectly blocked and they're going to just run it down your throat.

Speaker 8 Yeah, this is a big-time take-care of business game for the Browns. They had to take care of business against a team that they should beat, and they did it.
So it's just like, check this off the list.

Speaker 8 Next week, I'm very excited for the Steelers coming into town.

Speaker 8 I think that the Browns are going to hang like 45 points off.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I do too. And Miles Garrett was incredible.
I mean, nine sacks is insane.

Speaker 2 He even said he was like, after the first drive, we kind of figured out what they were doing and they never changed.

Speaker 2 So that should tell you everything right there.

Speaker 8 Clowney had two sacks. This is a big game for Clowney to show up and remind people that he still exists and probably secure his next big contract because of this game.

Speaker 2 It turns out that maybe drafting or going up for a guy in the second round of the draft, take an offensive lineman that is the steal of the draft, but he has back issues at 22 and then needs back surgery before the season starts, and you're having your entire offensive line depend on him being good.

Speaker 2 Turns out that's not a sound strategy, Ryan Pace.

Speaker 8 Well, you can say that in retrospect. Hindsight is 2020, big cat.
At the time, did you.

Speaker 2 I love to pick at the time. At the time, did any of you? Of course I did.
Of course I did. I mean,

Speaker 2 let's not be crazy because I'm not smart.

Speaker 8 Anytime you get a blue chip quarterback, you have to draft an offensive line and pay way too much for him so you can say, and we got the guy that's going to protect him for the next 15 years, too.

Speaker 2 Listen, I can't actually do a better job than these two idiots, but I can still call call them idiots. That's my right.

Speaker 8 I actually think that we could do a better job as a general manager than a general manager could do hosting a podcast where they call out other general managers.

Speaker 2 Yeah, well, you know what?

Speaker 2 I'm going to say I could do a better job than Matt Nagy in this particular game because I would have simply had Justin Fields do super shotgun, where he's like 15 yards away from the line of scrimmage.

Speaker 8 There you go.

Speaker 2 Sharkwheel. Yeah, like just stay so far back that you at least have more than one second to throw the ball.

Speaker 8 I actually think that we would be better head coaches than most head coaches as long as we didn't have to actually be on the sideline and talk to players.

Speaker 8 Yeah, I think if you just gave us a controller,

Speaker 8 no, not at all. If you gave us like an Xbox controller and that's how we selected the plays, I think we could do a better job than most footballers.

Speaker 2 Dude, listen,

Speaker 2 people joke about Sharkwheel, but it is unstoppable.

Speaker 2 When you roll out the quarterback and you roll out the running back, and everyone has to decide whether they're going to guard the running back, guard the run from the quarterback, or

Speaker 2 you know, get the pass, it's unstoppable. Maybe put some Sharkwheel in your fucking playbook.

Speaker 2 Take the visor off, too.

Speaker 2 You don't deserve the visor.

Speaker 2 He doesn't. Just go bald.
Yes, he doesn't deserve the visor. The visor is Steve Spurrier running it up on people

Speaker 2 and kicking the shit out of opponents.

Speaker 8 He should have to wear the dunce cap on the side of the bank.

Speaker 2 You don't get the visor. Wear the cone head now.
Take that visor away.

Speaker 10 I know we don't talk about college football on Mondays, Big Cap, but we did talk about Friday, Wisconsin, and the Bears, and which would be worse after the weekend.

Speaker 2 Both were just follow-up.

Speaker 10 Is there one that was worse than the other?

Speaker 2 No, they were both equally equally just so devastating in different and unique fashions. One, I watched my teams play eight quarters, and they scored one touchdown.

Speaker 2 One.

Speaker 2 One.

Speaker 2 Graham Mertz might not be the guy, but he's just a kid.

Speaker 10 At least you weren't riding high going into the Bears.

Speaker 2 Yeah, and you lost. No, that doesn't help.

Speaker 8 At least the Bears lost to a starter.

Speaker 8 That's good, too.

Speaker 2 I mean,

Speaker 8 I love Drew Pine.

Speaker 2 It's too bad we don't do

Speaker 2 boomers for college college because they're. I retweeted it, but Notre Dame's quarterbacks are Cohn and Pine.
Yeah. Pine Cone.
Yep.

Speaker 8 I do love Drew Pine, though. That guy.
He's a short king. But I mean,

Speaker 2 the Badgers outgain. It's hard to outgain an opponent and lose 41.13.
But they found a way to do it. They found a way to do it.
And shout out. I was sitting in a suite.

Speaker 2 We were doing a penny VIP thing. Shout out the woman who sat next to me when the Badgers went up 13-10.
And she's like, are you happy now?

Speaker 2 And literally two seconds later, the kick return happened and everything fell apart. And she, like, she, she left so fast, I never saw her again.

Speaker 8 She mushed you.

Speaker 2 Yeah, so it was a bad weekend. You know what? Football is a stupid sport.
We shouldn't care about sports. It's dumb to care this much.
I'm a father of two. We're in a pandemic, okay?

Speaker 2 We're all on the same team. We're all on the same team.
We're fighting against the coronavirus.

Speaker 8 And also, as far as your teams go, They're about on par for everybody else in this room's teams.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 8 We root for the worst teams in sports currently.

Speaker 2 I had our

Speaker 2 co-worker, Evan, who does stats, pull it up. And it's not like some crazy stat, but the Bears and Badgers combined are 8 and 15 since October 26th of last year.
A lot of losing football.

Speaker 2 A lot of bad football.

Speaker 8 It's good for the podcast, though.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I just would like to win once,

Speaker 2 one big one, but, you know, that's not in the cards. I just am forced to watch like

Speaker 2 Clockwork Orange. Just have my eyes wide open while I just watch the worst football possible.

Speaker 8 And you're going to keep doing it.

Speaker 10 Yeah, I would actually contend that it'd be better if the Bears were like kind of good to make the playoffs.

Speaker 2 Yeah, no, I have no hopes.

Speaker 10 Like, being this bad this early is probably, it's good, but it could be better.

Speaker 2 It's starting to depress me.

Speaker 8 Usually I get happy when Big Cat's depressed because it's fun

Speaker 8 to watch, but now it's just.

Speaker 10 It's funny when it's later.

Speaker 8 Yeah, he's bringing my football brain down.

Speaker 2 The only thing you can root for at this point with the Bears to like see me more miserable is have Justin Fields be a complete and utter bust, and then you're a sick fuck.

Speaker 2 Like, truly, truly a sick fuck. Because he's a nice guy.
Probably needs to eat some meat, right, Billy? Probably stopped being vegan, but you're a sick fuck.

Speaker 2 All right, let's do an ad real quick. Let's talk about the Patriots.

Speaker 8 Before we get to the Patriots, I want to talk to you about our great friends over at Noom. We love Noom right now.
I'm trying to lose some weight.

Speaker 8 I think everybody in this room is trying to get in shape right now, and Noom is the best way to do it. It's not just about what you eat.
It's about your cravings. It's about your mindset.

Speaker 8 With Noom, you don't need rules to lose weight. You just need the knowledge.
You need the wisdom to help you build smarter, more sustainable habits.

Speaker 8 Noom has cognitive behavioral approaches, and it helps you unlearn bad habits. I know I have a ton of bad habits during football season.
It's tough if there's football on. Guess what?

Speaker 8 I'm going to get the melted cheese. I'm going to get something fried.
I'm going to eat stuff that's bad for me. But with Noom, they help you unlearn those bad habits.

Speaker 8 They help you better understand your relationship with food because one size doesn't fit all. So you choose your goals, and Noom is going to personalize a weight loss program to you.

Speaker 8 80% of Noom users finish the program, and over 60% have stuck with their goals for at least a year. That's really, really good.
A lot of these up-and-down diets, they're good to crash with.

Speaker 8 If you need them for like two, three weeks, you think that you can stick with them, but guess what?

Speaker 8 Once you get outside of that small time frame, you go right back to the way that you were eating beforehand. And with Noom, taking care of your health is empowering.
It's not stress-inducing.

Speaker 8 No need to fear running the whole program with one off day. Noom is going to help you get back on track.
All you need is a daily 10-minute check-in. That's it.
Just 10 minutes a day. No

Speaker 8 grueling early mornings. No huge chunks out of your day.
So you can start building habits for better, healthier, long-term results. Sign up for your trial right now at noom.com slash PMT.

Speaker 8 Noom.com slash PMT.

Speaker 2 I don't know if it was because we just did the Bears and I got heated, but we're four games in. I'm so, I'm sweating so

Speaker 8 it's hot. It's hot as

Speaker 8 you, Pete. Would LeBron say it's hot as hell in this room right now, Pete, you piece of shit.

Speaker 2 Pete, give the boys some AC.

Speaker 8 It's also 1234. Hank, cut that out.

Speaker 2 One, two, three, four.

Speaker 8 Kiss. Make a wish.

Speaker 2 Make a wish. I wish that Justin Fields wasn't a bust.

Speaker 8 I wish the opposite.

Speaker 2 Just for the sake of the show.

Speaker 2 Hank, Patriots, Saints. We're going to do the misery of this show.

Speaker 2 So,

Speaker 2 thoughts?

Speaker 10 Also an extremely disgusting game to watch.

Speaker 10 Zero fun.

Speaker 10 Mac Jones looked bad. Josh McDaniels called a bad game.
The offensive line was bad.

Speaker 10 Jameis was making Jameis throws that you thought were going to be intercepted. They turned into touchdowns.

Speaker 2 He was just dancing around in the pocket, too. He's just so funny.

Speaker 10 Mac Jones had some interceptions. One of them wasn't, like, a couple of them weren't his fault, but still, it was just bad.

Speaker 10 It was like, it was just,

Speaker 10 there was no point during the game where I was like, all right, we have momentum.

Speaker 8 Can I give you like a little glimmer of hope? Sure. Just look up how many times Belichick's lost two games in a row because it's probably not that frequent.
There you go. So, going into the game.

Speaker 2 Who do you guys got next week?

Speaker 8 It's no one big or good or someone they'd make an Adele commercial about.

Speaker 2 That's trying to

Speaker 10 play Tom Brady in the Bucks.

Speaker 2 Oh, let's play our favorite game.

Speaker 2 Who's the line? Who's the line? Who's the line is it anyway?

Speaker 2 I'm going to say. Wait, where's the game?

Speaker 2 It's in New England.

Speaker 8 I'm going to say Bucs by seven and a half.

Speaker 2 It's actually, I don't know if it's changed. I'm going to look it up right now.

Speaker 2 When Hank and I played Who's the Line Is It Anyway? A little earlier today, it was five and a half. It's still five and a half.

Speaker 8 I'm going to take the Bucs. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 I'm going to take the Bucks big two. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 8 Oh, yeah. But just look up.
See how many times that Bill Chopped

Speaker 2 two games in a row. Are you? I cried during that Dell commercial.

Speaker 8 Oh, yeah. Oh, for Tom Brady's homecoming.

Speaker 2 Like Tony Soprano. Have you gone to that episode?

Speaker 10 No, I stopped watching after

Speaker 2 season three. The Saints defense deserves a lot of credit.
They played great.

Speaker 2 And also the Saints in general deserve a lot of credit because they have not been home for an entire month. They finally get to go home this week because of Hurricane Ida.
They were displaced.

Speaker 2 So the fact that they're 2-1,

Speaker 2 you know, when they weren't able to be home, they haven't played a home game. They haven't been at their home facility.
That's a credit to them.

Speaker 2 They also get the Giants to come to the dome for their first game. So that's another win.

Speaker 8 I love it. Jameis Winston continues his MVP tear where he's throwing.

Speaker 8 We need to look up what his ratio of touchdowns to yards is.

Speaker 2 I have it. Oh, you have it? Yeah, yeah.
So he has... Jameis Winston is working right now on the most hilarious season ever.
So he has

Speaker 2 seven touchdowns thrown.

Speaker 2 He has 387 total yards.

Speaker 8 That's incredible. On the season.
That's efficiency right there.

Speaker 2 That's insane.

Speaker 8 That's efficient, Jameis. And the one that he had today, maybe the funniest touchdown pass that I've ever seen Jameis Winston throw.
And that's a stacked field to compete with.

Speaker 8 The one where he drops back in the pocket, he gets rushed from the side. And it looked like one of his training videos where they have like a dog hanging off of his leg trying to attack him.

Speaker 8 Yeah, and his like feet are stuck in buckets, and he just falls down, throws it over his head like a hook shot, throws a jump ball. It ends up working, but I loved it.
I loved it.

Speaker 8 The full Jameis experience in one play.

Speaker 2 When he's climbing the pocket and running around the pocket, all of his offseason

Speaker 2 training makes sense because you can see that Jameis

Speaker 2 playing a video game out there where he's there are no rushers, there are just

Speaker 2 big giant balls coming at his head and like goblins with towels trying to whip him.

Speaker 2 That's how he moves in the pocket. Like, oh, well, like, he gets scared a couple times and kind of jumps back.
Like, oh,

Speaker 2 here comes the robot dog to bite me. And he's just, I just imagine him playing in a video game.

Speaker 2 We should have memes maybe do that edit where it's just little fucking creatures like trying to grab at him because that's actually how he moves around.

Speaker 8 You know what he looks like? Not just a video game.

Speaker 8 Like, if you see somebody playing with the Oculus, the virtual reality, yes james when he drops back in the pocket he looks like he's seeing shit that nobody else is seeing and he's just looking in the strangest directions and ducking underneath invisible things and almost falling down oculus qb yeah he's the oculus qb yes before he ever throws a pass it's so funny he's the best and he really is i we knew that that Peyton was going to troll Bill Belichick by putting Sean Taysom Hill into the game and getting him a touchdown.

Speaker 8 That was a no-brainer, just being like, you know that you wish you had this as your quarterback right now.

Speaker 8 That's like belichick's wet dream like a more athletic tim tebow yeah we got him you don't he kind of sealed the game they had that long drive where he just iced the iced the clock yeah i have an army slash navy drive i haven't heard anybody refer to taysum as a swiss army knife recently have we moved past that point i think so he's he's grittier than a swiss knife they're just not playing in prime time yeah they got a lot of

Speaker 2 true breeze prime time joe testator joey test will definitely call him that or like he's he's more american than a swiss army knife he's like he's duct tape yeah that's the u.s equivalent he's no he's flex seal flex seal yeah where you're riding around in an invisible boat go ahead a leatherman a leatherman

Speaker 2 call the leatherman um so where are we at with mac jones meter i mean i think this is uh a theme on this show uh and i i think you're it's okay to say it is like hey some games just rookie qb games you know yeah i mean it was a struggle i feel like the first two games he had him in a position to win against the dolphins he didn't play great but they still should have won that game They beat the Jets.

Speaker 10 This was just bad. This was just a bad game.
Need a bounce back.

Speaker 10 I feel like in my heart that it's just like there's going to be so many emotions next week that the Bucs are just going to absolutely destroy a rookie quarterback with that much emotion like in Gillette.

Speaker 10 So if he can play okay and they can like even that's the thing. There's just no signs of there's no like great signs.
There's no great throws. There's no good drives.

Speaker 10 They didn't get a first down until like the second quarter. They just need to show he needs to show something.

Speaker 2 Give me something. Can you please remind me, Hank? Actually, Jake, remind me when we do Friday's show.
Don't let me talk myself into Belichick having some

Speaker 2 crazy thing that he's going to unveil to stop Tom Brady. Because that's really the only reason you'd bet on the Patriots, right? And you could talk yourself into that.
I will. Right.

Speaker 2 But

Speaker 10 my gut feeling is like the Bucs are going to beat them by 30.

Speaker 2 Can I have this water? Yeah,

Speaker 2 it's less Belcheck.

Speaker 2 This office is like... We're in a

Speaker 2 sauna.

Speaker 8 You know what? Today is? Today is just hell.

Speaker 8 We're stuck in hell today.

Speaker 2 I've already gone through one full water. Go ahead, sorry.

Speaker 10 It's less Belichick. It's more just like

Speaker 10 that big of a game, and Tom Brady is not going to be phased by it as much, and Mac Jones very much is. Yeah.

Speaker 2 All right, but rookie quarterback. Just say that.
Rookie quarterback, you know, bumps along the way. And MC sucks.
Yeah, but credit to the Saints. They were, they've been

Speaker 2 the fact they're two and one, their defense looks really good. And Jameis, we love Jameis forever.

Speaker 2 Working on the greatest season of all time. I hope he ends up with 30 touchdowns and 1,200 yards.
Yeah.

Speaker 8 I mean, it's fun to watch him succeed. You know what? It's fun to watch Jameis have fun.

Speaker 2 Yes, exactly. Winning football from Jameis Winston.
All right. Next up, Chargers, Chiefs.

Speaker 2 PFT, if you're okay with me, I'd like to speak on behalf of you and myself real quick to the audience. Of course.

Speaker 2 I think that as a podcast and myself and speaking for my co-host PFT,

Speaker 2 we under any circumstances, we would never, ever, ever make fun of a coach who has a health issue after a big loss. No.
So we want to say that Andy Reid, we hope you get better.

Speaker 2 We hope you feel better.

Speaker 2 Anyone who would ever say like, oh, this guy lost and then he immediately had a health issue,

Speaker 2 you're disgusting.

Speaker 8 I'd like to just add one word to that.

Speaker 8 I would never, ever say anything bad ever about a head coach who had a real health condition after a game. Right.
And so, Andy Reid, thoughts and prayers to you. Right.

Speaker 2 We would never do it. We would never, ever do it.
Ever. Ever do it.

Speaker 8 But, yeah,

Speaker 8 that broke my heart a little bit to see Andy Reid.

Speaker 2 I would actually go as far as to say it broke my back, and I kind of like laid down on the sideline the court that was named after me.

Speaker 2 That wasn't a specific. I'm not talking about anything specific.

Speaker 8 No, are you happy, Coach K? Yeah. You blew Big Cat's back out.

Speaker 2 You did. Coach K did? No, no, no, no.
We're not talking about Coach K. No, not Coach.
We're just wishing Andy Reed.

Speaker 2 I was just throwing a dip during the show. No.
Yeah, it's late.

Speaker 8 Let's just fucking get crazy. It's 12:42.

Speaker 2 Yeah, but Andy Reid, we hope you're you. We want Andy Reid to be better.

Speaker 8 Can I add one thing just to the game? I'll speak for you on the stuff that happened in between the lines. That Patrick Mahomes interception may be his best throw of all time.

Speaker 2 Hey, maybe you should look at your receiver.

Speaker 8 Well, he hit his receiver. It was a little bit behind him, but people were freaking out and saying, like, oh, my God, this no-look throw.
Actually,

Speaker 8 I made a list. The best interceptions of the week.
Yeah. Patrick Mahomes, number one.
Mac Jones had a pretty good interception. I think it bounced off his receiver's hands.

Speaker 8 And then Big Ben's interception threw directly to the linebacker.

Speaker 2 You're forgetting a huge one. No, you're forgetting a huge one.
Graham Mertz's first pick six that got everyone the over.

Speaker 8 Okay, there you go.

Speaker 2 That was his second pick six.

Speaker 8 That's a good intercept.

Speaker 2 That got the alternate over. Yes.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah,

Speaker 2 it's not good when you throw an interception on a no-look pass because then it suddenly, and yeah, it did kind of hit the receiver in his hands, which you should catch it, right, Hank?

Speaker 8 That wasn't even his best interception on the day, actually.

Speaker 2 Yeah, no, he was bad. That was a game.
That was a weird

Speaker 2 glitch in the Xbox game where you're like, wait, how did I lose this game? Because the Chiefs don't lose that game, and Patrick Mahomes doesn't throw those interceptions, yet they did. And guess what?

Speaker 8 The big story coming from this weekend is the Kansas city chiefs are now in sole possession of last place in the afc west damn that's what everyone's talking about that is what everyone is talking that's leads the podcast uh the chargers these chargers can win the super bowl these chargers are fucking awesome i love i love no no although i'd still like to see them not like become a completely different offense every time they get in the red zone don't don't doubt them just yet and when you say offense in the red zone a lot of that has to do with just running illegal shifts before the play is snapped and then they score a touchdown it gets taken off the board but joe lombardi is going to be a head coach if the Chargers continue this, which kind of sucks for them because right when their offense becomes awesome,

Speaker 8 they're going to lose their offensive coordinator down the road.

Speaker 8 But Keenan Allen, we should respect, we should take time on this podcast to respect Keenan Allen because nobody ever mentions him in the list of like the top five receivers in the NFL. And he is.

Speaker 8 He's been a top five guy. Win healthy.
He's been a top five guy for probably the last six years.

Speaker 2 And Brandon Staley, you get a lot of credit because you coached to your competition.

Speaker 2 You know, whenever we talk about analytics and going for it, and people, you know, there is no right answer every single time. The smart people are like, hey,

Speaker 2 you don't just play the numbers, you play your competition as well. Well, guess what? His competition is Patrick Mahomes.
Fourth and four from the 30.

Speaker 2 They ended up getting a five-yard penalty, but fourth and four from the 30 with like 59 seconds left or something, they go for it.

Speaker 2 Because like, if we kick a field goal here, they're just going to come down the field and kick a field goal or score a touchdown and beat us. So, I think that gets that deserves a ton of credit.

Speaker 2 They, it ended up being a fourth and nine from the 35. They get a pass interference call.
They score a touchdown, ends the game. Like, that's how you play against the Chiefs.

Speaker 2 You know that if you kick a field goal late to go up three, if you give, just like we saw with Aaron Rodgers, you can't win the game like that. You're like, at best, you're going to go to overtime.

Speaker 2 So, I want to give him credit. He deserves credit.
That's kind of a ballsy move, and he did it.

Speaker 8 It was ballsy. I thought it was insane.
I thought that he was going crazy.

Speaker 8 When it worked, it was awesome. I thought

Speaker 8 it was crazier that he did that than what he did at the end of that drive, where instead of just taking some knees and kicking a field goal, he tried to score. I get that.

Speaker 8 He wants to score a touchdown. That's fine.

Speaker 8 You never know with the Chargers. You can't trust your kicking game.
Correct.

Speaker 8 So, you know how they have the line that they put up, the graphic they put up on the drive where it's red and says, here's your target line to get there to make a game-winning field goal?

Speaker 8 They should never have that line for Chargers or Vikings games. The line should be one yard into the end zone.

Speaker 2 And for the Ravens, it should be the entire field.

Speaker 8 Yes. The entire field should be the red zone.

Speaker 8 You're in the red zone. But yeah,

Speaker 8 I like the fact that he went for the touchdown at the end. I know he left Mahomes some time on the clock, then he threw a nasty pick at the end.

Speaker 8 But the fourth and nine, that's you know what we're doing right now.

Speaker 8 We're cheering that because it worked.

Speaker 2 Well, no, if it didn't work, then they've got like

Speaker 8 20 yards to kick a field goal and win.

Speaker 2 i'm cheering that because not only are you doing uh who your competition is in the chiefs but also you're doing it in the first slate of games where if it fucks up it won't be the main story going into monday that's very if it's sunday night and you do that yeah and it doesn't work you get roasted so time and place smart time and place and the chargers that's a huge huge win and i don't i think the chiefs are going to be fine but it does clearly look right now like they're not, you know, humming on all cylinders.

Speaker 2 They're not 100%.

Speaker 8 Although they do have another guy that we have to learn. I got pissed off during this game because Mahomes threw a touchdown pass to Jody, what's his name, Jody Forton? Jody,

Speaker 8 Fortnite. Jody Fortnite.
And so now, okay, he's got another huge guy that he can throw. Fortson.
Jody Fortson.

Speaker 2 Every dad in the Kansas City area is going to call him Jody Fortnite. Jody.

Speaker 2 Fortnite thing you play?

Speaker 8 So now we have, he can pass to Hill. He can pass to Kelsey, Robinson, Hardman, Pringle, and now he's got another guy, Fortnite, that we have to learn.

Speaker 2 Clyde Edwards-Hilaire is awesome.

Speaker 8 And Clyde Edwards-Hilaire is really, really good too, and he's not fumbling the ball.

Speaker 8 So that's another guy that we have to just mentally prepare to hear his name called out when we least expect it on like a 70-yard touchdown.

Speaker 2 Yes. Yep.
But yeah, the Chiefs are, I don't want to say broken. No.
But they're.

Speaker 2 No, because you know what? They barely lost the Ravens.

Speaker 2 They had chances to win this game. They kind of just started very slow.
I'm going to say the Chiefs are sleepwalking through the first quarter of the season.

Speaker 8 And I think that's fine. I think they'll figure it out.

Speaker 2 They'll figure it out eventually.

Speaker 8 But the Chargers, I still think, are going to win that division.

Speaker 2 Yeah, and I mean, with only one team getting a buy, it does kind of like you can't really sleepwalk for much longer than this. You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 I don't think I'd have to look at the entire AFC, but like, I mean, what, 13 and 4 is probably the buy, like the threshold. 12 and 5 doesn't feel like a buy number.

Speaker 8 13 and 4 feels like the buy number.

Speaker 8 These numbers are new.

Speaker 2 But 13 and 4 means...

Speaker 9 With 18 weeks, you can now split the season into sixths.

Speaker 2 Oh, I don't like that. I don't like that at all.

Speaker 2 It's too many.

Speaker 8 I got to start doing denominators now.

Speaker 2 Let's just say 13 and 4 is the magic number for the buy. The Chiefs now have to go 12 and 2.

Speaker 8 Which they can do.

Speaker 2 Which they can do, but it's also a lot less of a room for error.

Speaker 2 They're going to lose probably probably one of the Raiders, and Gruden's going to be like, give me another contract, and the Raiders will lose every game afterwards.

Speaker 8 Andy, just don't come back too soon.

Speaker 8 Andy, you know what you can do?

Speaker 2 Again, we would never

Speaker 2 be part of a coach.

Speaker 8 Let Andy Reid do the thing where he coaches the game from the hospital bed that's in the suite that's set up.

Speaker 8 The old Liberty, his name's screwed it out of my. What's his name?

Speaker 2 Help me.

Speaker 8 Hugh Freeze. Hugh Freeze.
There we go. Hugh Freeze.

Speaker 8 Yeah, let Andy Reid do the Hugh Freeze thing, where he coaches from a very, maybe

Speaker 8 a nice lazy boy recliner. Do you think that

Speaker 2 Coach Kay called Andy Reid and was like, hey, you know, technically it's your legal right that you can make Eric Bienemi eat that loss?

Speaker 2 Like that, that should be 0-1 head coach, Eric Bianemi. I think he probably is.
He probably is like, hey, I just want to give you a tip. Hope you're feeling better.

Speaker 2 But just so you know, every loss for the rest of the season, you don't have to take on your record.

Speaker 8 I think Coach K has like a set amount of fruit baskets that he can send out that have a note in them that say that.

Speaker 8 And anytime a coach has a healthcare, he just tells his assistant, hey, just mail that, send a basket out.

Speaker 2 Yeah, but this year it has a note on it. It's like, hey, just a reminder, I'm retiring this year.
If you want to send me something back, right?

Speaker 8 It's like, yeah, it's like Derek Jeter for coaches getting injured.

Speaker 2 Yes. What?

Speaker 2 You get too much dip in your mouth, so you can't even reply. I don't dip.

Speaker 2 All right.

Speaker 2 Falcons Giants, Arthur Smith's beard. Let's fucking go.
Looks great. Guy's got a beard.

Speaker 8 He's 1-0 with the beard.

Speaker 2 The chin is not there, but it's less not there.

Speaker 8 He called it a get-a-win beard. Yeah.
And you know what? It worked. And you can't shave it now.
No.

Speaker 2 You can't because

Speaker 8 not that there's anything wrong with your normal.

Speaker 2 No, his chin is totally ridiculous.

Speaker 8 His normal chin, which is regular, but you can't argue with results. You can't shave in the middle of a winning streak.
We call that an Uncle Chap's. Yep.

Speaker 2 And that never was. He got creamed by Boris.

Speaker 2 Yes. Yeah, so that was not his.
He got creamed. Yeah.
He wanted me to cream you? That's what he told us. All-time ugly picture.

Speaker 8 But yeah, congrats to Arthur Smith. Getting that first win.
It's tough to win in this league.

Speaker 2 It's tough to win in this league.

Speaker 8 Every win should be celebrated, even if it's over the Giants.

Speaker 2 I do want to say that we should probably get a share of this win because we are the ones that motivated him to get the beard that got him the win. So credit to us.

Speaker 2 Good job, coach. The chin, totally normal chin, but also a lot more normal when you have a beard that you're growing in.

Speaker 8 I can't wait till the beard gets a little bit fuller so that we can actually tell him what to shave it into. So it's like a nice landscape.

Speaker 8 It's like a new lawn that's growing in right now, and we get to landscape it.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 8 I think the mid-90s relief pitcher Van Dyke goatee looked pretty good on our launch.

Speaker 2 He needs to get a little bit more hair going because right now I think there's like a little salt and pepper maybe going on. It almost looks like a tub of chive cream cheese.

Speaker 2 Where it's like there's some kind of weird shit in your cream cheese.

Speaker 2 Not that his chin normally looks like a tub tub of cream cheese, but that would be something I'd just throw out there to say.

Speaker 8 Like a big shredded coconut.

Speaker 2 Yeah, like what's in this cream cheese? I don't know.

Speaker 2 Is this salmon?

Speaker 2 What's going on here? That's kind of what he's going with right now.

Speaker 8 Well, I think he looks great. It's, yeah.
And he should keep it up.

Speaker 2 Yeah, and I, and who doesn't love cream cheese? No. I love it.
Especially on your chin. I love cream cheese.
Yeah, it's the best.

Speaker 2 Melting off of your... Well, not melting.
Well, and also he doesn't really have a chin for it to melt off.

Speaker 8 I'd say it's frozen cream cheese.

Speaker 2 Melting off of his lips where the chin should be. Okay.
But he got to win. He got to win.
We love Arthur Smith. He's going to come on this show.
We fucking love the guy.

Speaker 8 The big story coming out of this game was actually post-game. And the Giants' owner, John Mara.
Uh-oh, Mr. Mr.
Excuse me.

Speaker 2 Mr.

Speaker 8 Can you delete that? Mr. Mara.
Thank you.

Speaker 8 Yeah. Bleep out the word John, please.

Speaker 8 Giants owner, Mr. Mara, knocked over a trash can.

Speaker 8 Two trash cans. The report is.

Speaker 2 By accident or resolved.

Speaker 8 No, the initial report

Speaker 8 in the New York Post, it said, Mara seemingly knocks over a trash can in frustration after the game. Taunting.
I looked at the picture. It was two small trash cans when he knocked over.

Speaker 2 Like, how small? That's a pattern. How small?

Speaker 8 Slightly bigger than Daniel Jones' hand.

Speaker 2 Shin height?

Speaker 8 They look to be like hip height.

Speaker 2 Oh, okay. Those are decent-sized.

Speaker 8 No one wants to see that big. No.
No one. Again, taunting.
Yeah, find him. Find his ass.
Throw him out of the game.

Speaker 2 Yeah, no,

Speaker 2 I think the Giants, I think Joe Judge might be losing the team. I mean, they're just not good.
I don't really know. You can't even point to one specific thing in this game.

Speaker 2 A couple guys got hurt. I think Darius Slayton was out of the game.
Evan Ingram fumbled.

Speaker 2 When they needed to play good defense, Maddie Ice, who, shout out Maddie Ice,

Speaker 2 he is now tied with Matt Stafford 39 game-winning drives. Wow.
39. It's pretty good.

Speaker 8 I thought

Speaker 8 it was really indicative indicative that they were able to go out there and lay this egg even on Eli night. Yeah.
It was Eli Day at the ballpark. They put him in the ring of honor and

Speaker 8 they couldn't even get the team going for Eli Manning. But it's, you know what I mean? They just tied for Eli.
That would have been the best. A tie on Eli Day.

Speaker 2 The worst part about this game for Giants fans is like Daniel Jones didn't fumble. He didn't throw any interceptions, I don't think.

Speaker 8 No.

Speaker 2 Like there wasn't any comically terrible Joe Judge decision. They just aren't good.

Speaker 8 Saquon got hurt too.

Speaker 2 Yeah, just aren't good.

Speaker 8 I don't know if Saquon, he's not healthy. He's not 100% because I think he left the game for treatment mid-game, which tells me probably shouldn't have been playing in the game to begin with.
Right.

Speaker 8 But yeah, they're just the Giants just kind of stinking. Yeah, they're just not good.

Speaker 2 They're just not a good football team.

Speaker 8 But the Giants are also the team that I think when they won both their Super Bowls, I think they started 0-2 or 0-3 both those seasons. There you go.
So you can always talk about that.

Speaker 2 Remember last week we talked about how Matt Ryan's just a professional quarterback at this point? Like, or what did we say? I said I was sad.

Speaker 2 Well, no, yeah, we said we were sad at week one, but like he's no, I was sad week two. Yeah, I was sad week one.

Speaker 2 But he

Speaker 2 just like that drive he had when they're down 14-7,

Speaker 2 that was just like, hey, Matt Ryan, he still is better than

Speaker 2 average. I think he's slightly better than average.

Speaker 8 In a perfect set of circumstances with all the stars and planets aligning just perfectly, Matt Ryan can be a good quarterback. Yeah, but usually he's these days he's like sad.

Speaker 2 The

Speaker 2 only other note I had is like, I feel like in 15 years, we'll still watch Corderl Patterson on a new team being used

Speaker 2 out of the backfield and being like, whoa, this is awesome as a running back. Holy shit.
Like, how could they stop this?

Speaker 8 Yes, that's never going to stop.

Speaker 2 It's never, ever going to stop. He's still fast.
Yeah. He is fast.
Very fast. You want to speak of sad quarterbacks?

Speaker 2 Bengals Steelers. Bengals 24, Steelers 10.

Speaker 8 We have to talk about this.

Speaker 2 So this is bad.

Speaker 8 It's like watching your dog get old.

Speaker 2 It's bad, man. It's really bad.
It's sad to watch.

Speaker 8 He can't go down the steps when the elevator's out.

Speaker 2 He's still like, he'll still have a couple moments every day where he'll wag his tail and run around, and you're like, oh, this is fun. Yeah.

Speaker 2 But yeah, watching Big Ben play football at this time. And you know what? The worst part is like he even, even if you look at his, he had two interceptions.

Speaker 2 One was so, so bad where he was like tripping over himself.

Speaker 2 He did trip over himself a different play, but this one he tripped over himself and threw an interception to a linebacker that was standing, not really covering anyone, like five feet in front of him.

Speaker 8 Yeah, the linebacker was about to turn around and look for somebody to cover because he wasn't doing anything. And we're like, here, you take this.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 8 Maybe he's colorblind like an old dog. I don't know.
It was like right, sorry, Bubba. It was right into his chest.

Speaker 2 I have a fun side note, Bubba story. I could share one real quick.
Okay.

Speaker 2 Bubba texted me on Saturday, and he was like, hey, could you, if you see Shane Gillis, he's one of my favorite comedians at the game today,

Speaker 2 tell him what's up. And I was like, oh, okay, cool.
Like Shane Gillis, he is a very funny comedian. He's got a new special out.
I'll definitely tell him what's up.

Speaker 2 So I go and I look Shane Gillis, like his Instagram stories. He was at the Texas game, the Texas, Texas Tech game.

Speaker 8 He was at a a football game.

Speaker 2 He was walking out, and

Speaker 2 there was a painted end zone.

Speaker 2 But because Baba doesn't know colors, he was like, well, I don't know. He's at the Texas game.
He's in the state of Texas. Wait, Chicago, Illinois.

Speaker 8 The end zones there were red, right?

Speaker 2 Orange and red are pretty close.

Speaker 8 It's a dark orange in Texas.

Speaker 2 I was like, Baba, he's not. We're in very different states.
He might have been high as well.

Speaker 2 Neither there north. I'm colorblind.
All right, sorry, go back. Sadness.
No, I'm just like, I'm just sad.

Speaker 8 I'm sad watching him.

Speaker 8 That one where

Speaker 8 he fell down as he was trying to throw it. He was trying to take two steps to his right and throw a pass, and he just fell down.
He looked like a toddler trying to drive a car.

Speaker 8 It's tough to watch him out there.

Speaker 2 And I don't. He should play with a life alert.
He should.

Speaker 2 He actually should play with a life alert attached to his waist because I really do think one of these times he's going to fall down and not be able to get back up.

Speaker 8 Well, you can't bench him if you're the Steelers, right?

Speaker 2 Or can't.

Speaker 2 All right, so that's the thing. People are mad.
He still threw for 300 yards, and he had 38 completions. But if you watch the game, it's so bad.

Speaker 8 I think people are now mad at Mike Tomlin for not benching Ben.

Speaker 2 For not making him retire.

Speaker 8 Yeah, but if you're Mike Tomlin, can you really tell Ben? I guess Mike Tomlin would probably be the guy that could do it.

Speaker 2 Where's that guy who said that Big Ben would be closer to MVP than

Speaker 8 what insane person are you?

Speaker 2 Remember that reporter who was talking about Big Ben's diet? Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 He's like, I wouldn't be surprised if he's closer to mvp than bottom of the league no he he looked very sad today uh also tj watt is turns out tj watt very very important because the steelers snapped their streak of 75 straight games with a sack they didn't get a they didn't record a sack he matters a lot and joe burrow looked good efficient day you look good and jamar chase looks awesome he trolled us in single coverage what's up jamar chase trolled us with officially oh yeah

Speaker 8 jamar Chase can catch football still. He was fucking with us.
Great job, Jamar. You played us.

Speaker 2 No, we didn't.

Speaker 2 We knew.

Speaker 8 We kind of knew.

Speaker 2 You can't fuck with us that way.

Speaker 8 But yeah, he trolled us.

Speaker 8 And when he's in single coverage on the outside, you might as well just blitz that cornerback because nobody's proven that they can run with him and also out jump him in the end zone.

Speaker 8 Because whenever they run that nine route, it's just cash every single time. Yes.

Speaker 2 Oh, cash.

Speaker 8 It's cash. Jamar.

Speaker 2 You thought you could slip that one. Jamar Chase Bank.

Speaker 8 It's cash. Tomlin threw a dump off on fourth and ten.
I had that as a.

Speaker 2 I just wanted to note that you just said it's cash.

Speaker 8 It's straight cash, homie.

Speaker 2 It's a 36-year-old man. You said it's cash.

Speaker 8 It was cash.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 8 It was cash. And by the way, fuck you guys for the nephew thing.
Snoop Dogg says nephew all the time. It's cash.

Speaker 2 I've heard

Speaker 8 Snoop Dogg can't stop saying nephew. And that was what you guys made fun of me.

Speaker 2 That was the.

Speaker 2 I thought you said cousin. No.
That was the. You didn't say cousin.

Speaker 8 No, I said.

Speaker 8 Steve Buscemi gift.

Speaker 2 That's you saying it's cash.

Speaker 8 It's cash.

Speaker 2 It's cash. But yeah, the Bengals look good, and the Steelers are very sad.
And you know what?

Speaker 2 It's going to get worse for the Steelers before it gets better because they have to play at the Packers versus the Broncos versus the Seahawks at the Browns.

Speaker 8 I have a question for you about Steelers fans. How long is it until Steelers fans boo Big Ben?

Speaker 2 I don't think ever. I really don't.
I think that's actually the beauty of Steelers fans, is they'll never, like,

Speaker 2 they respect.

Speaker 2 They respect.

Speaker 8 They respect what Ben has done.

Speaker 2 No, they respect.

Speaker 8 They're mad. No, you're wrong.
They're mad.

Speaker 2 I don't think they can. I don't think they can.
I think they'll just play out this season, be sad about it. Hope the defense gets them to like nine or ten wins in a playoff exit and then just move on.

Speaker 2 I don't know. If TJ Watt comes back, like their defense is still very good.

Speaker 8 Their defense could be good with TJ Watt back, but I don't know if they're going to get to the playoffs. And I think that maybe they're starting to turn on Big Ben a little bit.

Speaker 8 I'm not saying that they're going to boom like next week.

Speaker 2 Wait, there's not next week, though.

Speaker 8 The week after that.

Speaker 2 There's a big difference between turning on him on Twitter where he has everyone blocked and it doesn't really matter versus like...

Speaker 8 No, he unblocked everybody.

Speaker 2 But in real life, but in real life, there's no way that people will say shit about Big Ben on Twitter and they will not say it to his face.

Speaker 2 They will not boo him.

Speaker 8 You can say it from the crowd.

Speaker 2 That would be disgusting. I expect more out of Pittsburgh.

Speaker 8 I think they might.

Speaker 2 They respect football.

Speaker 8 They respect the game. I think they might.

Speaker 2 If Big Ben comes back next year, they will definitely boo him.

Speaker 8 Well, if he comes back next year and the Browns should just change the locks, or the Steelers should just change the locks and not let him back in.

Speaker 8 We should also respect Joe Mixon. Yes.

Speaker 8 You know what Joe Mixon is? He's a professional.

Speaker 8 He's a consummate pro.

Speaker 2 When the Bengals can run the ball, their offense looks better than competent.

Speaker 2 And they're 2-1. The Bengals are 2-1.

Speaker 2 That's significant.

Speaker 2 I'm just looking.

Speaker 2 Week

Speaker 2 4-5-6,

Speaker 2 the Steelers play Sunday night football. That will be very sad

Speaker 2 for the Seahawks. Yeah.
Yeah, that's going to be very sad.

Speaker 2 All right. Next up, Cardinals, Jaguars.
Another rookie quarterback. Billy.

Speaker 2 Hashtag Billy was right again.

Speaker 2 Trevor Lawrence, bust.

Speaker 8 I think in the environment he currently is in, it's very hard for him to be able to.

Speaker 2 Oh, you've softened it. I like this.
Okay.

Speaker 2 But, yeah, I don't see him doing too well.

Speaker 2 Do you know what always sucks when your rookie quarterback is struggling and then you try to run a flea flicker and then he throws an interception from the flea flicker? It looks especially dumb.

Speaker 8 Off his back foot.

Speaker 2 Yes, it looks especially dumb.

Speaker 8 He wasn't even going

Speaker 8 for the big throw on the flea flicker.

Speaker 2 No, it was like a check down.

Speaker 8 He was like a 20-yard flea flicker back foot interception. Yeah, so bad.

Speaker 8 That was really bad to see.

Speaker 8 The Jaguars got the kick six, though. They got the kick six.

Speaker 2 That was electric.

Speaker 8 Urban Meyer was right. It's like playing against Alabama every week.

Speaker 2 Every week. Every single week.

Speaker 2 The Jaguars are the number one. How did they not cover this game, team of the week, because they were up 19 to 10 with three minutes left in the third quarter, and they lose 31-19.

Speaker 2 Like, that's hard to do, and they did it. The Cardinals did not play very well.
They made the plays when they needed to.

Speaker 2 Also, the Cardinals, I think every week we're just going to be like, damn, I forgot the Cardinals have this guy. Like, A.J.
Green had 112 yards.

Speaker 2 Like, DeAndre Hopkins didn't have, they focused their defense on DeAndre Hopkins, but they still have AJ Green.

Speaker 8 How did the NFL let A.J. Green become a car?

Speaker 8 I don't know. It is a super team, right? Bullshit.
That's where everyone's going is out to the desert. Shout out to Chandler Jones, who has not had a single sack since he got five sacks in week one.

Speaker 8 Damn. I love that.
Just like build it. It's like a salesperson working on commission.
Yeah.

Speaker 8 You hit your quota and then you get to coast for a few weeks. Free roll.

Speaker 8 You can get by for probably like nine or ten games on those five sacks. Yeah.

Speaker 8 As long as you're still in the mathematical realm of like getting to double digits on the year, people will totally forget anything you've done past that five sacks.

Speaker 2 Make one video and you're like, I'm good for a month. There you go.
That's like, that's kind of the content game equivalent.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it was nice. Trevor Lawrence had a nice TD throw.
But yeah, the Jags are... I mean, so

Speaker 2 actually, let's do the Broncos right now, too, because what...

Speaker 2 Like, worst team in the NFL? Is it the Jaguars or is it the Jets?

Speaker 8 I think it's the Jets.

Speaker 2 I think it might be the Jets.

Speaker 8 I think it's the Jets. But the crazy thing is,

Speaker 8 I think these Jets would be favored by a point over last year's Jets. I don't know.
If they played on a neutral site.

Speaker 2 Well, how's Sam Darnold playing? Is he playing like this Sam Donald or that Sam Darnard?

Speaker 8 He's playing like that Sam Darnold. Got it.
And they're playing at wait, they're playing at the Meadowlands, but it's a Giants home crowd.

Speaker 2 But you know that that Sam Darnold has this Sam Darnold somewhere inside of him.

Speaker 8 Inside of him. But who knows what this Zach Wilson has inside of him? We don't know yet.

Speaker 2 Nothing. Nothing.

Speaker 8 Mr. INT.
Billy.

Speaker 8 Yeah,

Speaker 8 that was a tough scene today

Speaker 8 with Mr. INT, but I think he is actually improving.

Speaker 2 How? Yeah. Well, give us like

Speaker 8 he threw two INTs today. Right.
So, yeah, he's twice as good as he was last week. Exactly.

Speaker 10 You tweeted that it was an improvement from last week. It was.
It was.

Speaker 2 I'll give you special

Speaker 2 less interceptions. He's starting to look a little bit older.
Because I think the Jets age people at a rapid, rapid pace, like presidential years or dog years.

Speaker 8 Now he looked like a high schooler, now he looks like a PG high schooler.

Speaker 2 Right, he's starting to

Speaker 2 he's if he stays on the Jets for another two years, he's going to look like he's 40, so that's good.

Speaker 8 No, but I mean, he ran the team well.

Speaker 8 He kept the like,

Speaker 2 he ran the team. I know.
They haven't scored a touchdown since week one. You're not listening to the team.

Speaker 8 I know, but he ran the team well. Instead of throwing picks, he was taking sacks.
So

Speaker 8 he's

Speaker 8 making better decisions.

Speaker 8 He managed his mistakes better.

Speaker 2 Exactly. Okay.

Speaker 2 Do you think

Speaker 2 they're the worst team in the NFL?

Speaker 8 Well, their defense was pretty good today, if you look at it.

Speaker 8 Like, they were

Speaker 8 third-down percentage was actually super high for stopping

Speaker 8 one third down. And in the red zone, I think they stopped the Broncos

Speaker 2 twice

Speaker 8 to five in the red zone.

Speaker 8 So if their offense could start putting together drives and stop putting so much pressure on the defense, I think they could actually get in some close games and win some games.

Speaker 8 I'm looking at a picture of him right now.

Speaker 8 He doesn't look like a high schooler anymore.

Speaker 2 Yeah, no, I'm telling you, the Jets have aged him.

Speaker 8 He looks like a guy that's playing a high schooler in a movie. Yeah, he's just like, that's an extra at least three years.

Speaker 2 We found like the antidote to the Mormon youth, you know, like the

Speaker 2 AC Green. He wasn't Mormon, I don't think.

Speaker 8 He was just a Verge.

Speaker 2 Yeah, the guys who don't drink or have sex, they are going to look younger for the rest of their life. The Jets are the antidote for that.

Speaker 2 You put them on the Jets, It's like going on a million benders and fucking a thousand hookers. Tim Team, that's what the Jets are.
Good, though.

Speaker 8 But yeah, you're right. He looks like he's seen some shit in just the last couple weeks.

Speaker 2 Is that mine? No, that was me.

Speaker 8 But their offensive line actually looks pretty decent. It just doesn't matter what the third one.

Speaker 2 No, it doesn't look decent. I think it looks terrible.

Speaker 8 But most of his sacks were him taking too long in the pocket.

Speaker 2 Okay. So he holds onto the ball too long.

Speaker 8 Right, I think it's the wide receiver.

Speaker 2 So you're saying better to hold on to the ball too long than throw an interception right what about getting the ball out on time well i don't think the wide receivers are open okay that's why i that's why i think it is we're working on that and that was yeah yeah i mean listen we're all going or

Speaker 2 many of us on this podcast are going through rookie quarterback woes right we need to support each other exactly and be like hey you know what what you just said that makes sense also

Speaker 8 i think it's the wide receiver core that needs to they're putting too much pressure on zach wilson to make all the plays okay yeah Okay. If you're not getting separation.

Speaker 8 And then when he does make a throw, like the one. He's trying to force barriers.
He's trying to make something happen. He's just making interceptions happen.
Yeah,

Speaker 8 you got to catch it. You got to help out your rookie quarterback when he does make a good throw.
Exactly.

Speaker 2 Eight quarters, six points.

Speaker 2 The last eight quarters, the Jets have six points. In the three games this year, they have 20 points total and 15 sacks.
So this will be a fun race to see. Points or sacks?

Speaker 2 Which one are the Jets going to have more of by the end of the year?

Speaker 8 So the Broncos are 3-0. you know what they might be they might be my fool's gold team ah

Speaker 2 might be they've played 3-0 and i they've played teams that between oh none between the three of them have not won a game yet yeah the the the jets the jaguars and the giants the broncos have played that is who do they have next because that like

Speaker 2 oh the ravens

Speaker 2 might be time to bet on the ravens

Speaker 2 yeah i mean they I think they're okay because their defense is good, and I do love Vic Fangio and Teddy Bridgewater, I mean, all he does is win games.

Speaker 2 Right now, Teddy Bridgewater is 54 for 70, 592 yards, and four touchdowns. That's crazy efficient.

Speaker 8 3-0 against the spread this year.

Speaker 2 77% completion. Teddy Bridgewater, give him some flowers.
But yeah, no,

Speaker 2 they have played the worst teams.

Speaker 2 If they could just find a way to schedule the Bears, and

Speaker 2 I don't know who else is really bad.

Speaker 8 So the Texans are not good.

Speaker 2 Yeah, the Texans and the Bears. Throw them in there.

Speaker 8 Bears, Jaguars.

Speaker 2 They play the Jaguars. The Jaguars are NFC Beast.

Speaker 2 Get some more wins there.

Speaker 2 What does that mean? Dallas and Philly, of course. Yeah, there you go.
Love it. Yeah, if you can play the NFC East and the AFC South, you'll have a good year.

Speaker 8 That's the trick.

Speaker 2 All right. Dolphins, Raiders.
Jake, you're up. Jacoby Brissette's not bad.

Speaker 9 Yeah, I mean, this was a game that you see on paper, all right? No-tua, cross-country.

Speaker 2 Probably. No, I think that's a positive, by the way.

Speaker 2 No-tua. Oh, yeah, no, you've been on that train since.
I mean, the camp of Jacoby Brissette is not a step down from Tua.

Speaker 9 Yeah, so

Speaker 9 they started off hot. Yes.
And then the Raiders got a safety and it kind of unraveled from there.

Speaker 2 Safety as fuck everything up.

Speaker 8 I actually think this is a game that the Raiders would lose by 21 in late October or early November.

Speaker 8 Once Gruden has really gotten his hands on the team for a few months and they start to tune them out a little bit. But credit to the Raiders.
They went down and they didn't let it get away from them.

Speaker 8 But yeah, last year's Raiders, especially towards the end, they would get smoked. They would be demoralized by that start.

Speaker 2 I got a stat for you for Raiders fans out there. The Raiders are the first team in NFL history to start a season 3-0, beating all teams that won 10 games the previous season.

Speaker 9 At least 10, right?

Speaker 2 At least 10. The Ravens, Dolphins, and the Steelers.

Speaker 8 It's crazy that the Dolphins won 10 games last year.

Speaker 2 It's crazy the Steelers did take off. They had a crazy, what was it, a Saturday night game?

Speaker 8 Well, no, yeah, they were the best 11-0 team of all time.

Speaker 9 This game last year in Vegas was a crazy Saturday night throw.

Speaker 2 Yeah. But it was, yeah, I mean, the Dolphins fought.
I still don't understand what they were doing running two, not one, but two Wildcat plays from the goal line. Just end it.
Stop. Wildcat is over.

Speaker 2 It had its moment. Just stop.

Speaker 8 I still kind of like it.

Speaker 2 It's so stupid.

Speaker 2 It's so dumb. Ronnie Brown's there.
In college, yes. In NFL, it makes no sense.
Yeah. Everyone knows how to defend in the NFL.

Speaker 8 It was funny at the end of overtime, too, when the Raiders. So the Raiders kick a field goal.
Dolphins come back, kick a field goal. Raiders get the ball again.
They go down the field.

Speaker 8 And John Gruden did not want to kick a field goal to win. He doesn't trust kickers.
He doesn't like kickers. He wants to score touchdowns.
And he tried, and then they were running out of time.

Speaker 8 And then he said, you know what? Fuck it. Let's take it down to two seconds.
Kick a field goal. I was hoping for a tie.
A tie

Speaker 8 tie would have been great in this game.

Speaker 2 I was going insane because I was listening to it in the car, and Brent Musberger does the Raiders radio broadcast and he so clearly had been on the Raiders. So he just was openly being like,

Speaker 2 go for a touchdown, go for a touchdown. And his co-host was like, well, the smart play here would be run out the clock and kick the field goals.
And Brent finally was just like, we're in Vegas. Yeah.

Speaker 2 And his co-host was like, oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah,

Speaker 2 we want a touchdown.

Speaker 8 Yeah, Al Davis didn't say just tie, baby. Yeah.

Speaker 2 It was just driving me nuts because I had the Dolphins. I was like, shut up, Brent.
No, I had. I felt like it was going to push them to score.

Speaker 8 I had the Raiders. I was doing the Brent Mussberger myself.
I love Brent.

Speaker 9 Yeah. I feel like that's a Jim Calhoun-like retirement.
You retire from the big broadcast, but you're still broadcasting staying in Vegas. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Just yelling about point spreads.

Speaker 2 And I know that it's such a ridiculous thing to get mad about, but if you have something opposite of the announcer and he's saying, I want goal for a touchdown, I was screaming at my radio, like, shut up, Brent.

Speaker 2 Kick a field goal.

Speaker 2 It was what?

Speaker 8 I was just going to say, are we all in on Derek Carr? Because it's like Derek Carr and Kirk Cousins are in a game of chicken to see who's going to turn into a pumpkin first.

Speaker 2 Yeah, so let's talk about Kirk Cousins. But I'm not...
I am.

Speaker 2 If it were a pool, if Derek Carr were a pool, I have my shirt still on, but I'm sitting on the edge with both my feet in. Okay.
Fair? Yeah.

Speaker 8 If Kirk Cousins is a pool, I'm in the shallow end. I'm shooting a basket at the poolside basket thing up to my thighs in water.

Speaker 2 If Kirk Cousins is a pool, I'm standing standing at the edge and I'm peeing in it without even going in the pool. And everyone in the pool is like, ew, why are you doing that?

Speaker 2 I'm like, because I don't really like the guy.

Speaker 8 Nice guy. I like him.

Speaker 2 Nice guy.

Speaker 8 I just think that if you buy too hard into Kirk Cousins, you're setting yourself up.

Speaker 2 Yeah, you're going to get hurt.

Speaker 8 Ultimate disappointment.

Speaker 2 If you buy too hard into Kirk Cousins, you'll be in the one pool that's ever been created where if you pee, it actually shows up as ink.

Speaker 8 Yeah, no, at the side of Kirk Cousins' pool, it says 10 feet, and then you dive into it, and it turns out that it's two feet deep, and you break your neck. That's correct.

Speaker 2 Kirk Cousins, though, he's like efficient. They won the game.

Speaker 2 This Viking Seahawks game also proved a very important point for all GMs in the NFL. If your backup physically

Speaker 2 and hairstyle looks like your starter, he'll be just as good. Because

Speaker 2 what's his name? Alexander Madison was awesome. Yeah.
And he looks like Dalvin Cook.

Speaker 8 I've always believed that, definitely with the Dreds.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Yeah.
100%.

Speaker 8 And they ran the same offense that they do. They didn't really skip a beat.
And Madison played pretty well today. And they absolutely killed the clock in the second half.

Speaker 8 So first half, Vikings came out. They scored some good touch.
They had some solid drives. Kirk Cousins, I think, threw, what, three touchdowns? Yep.
In the first half.

Speaker 8 Second half, the Vikings had the ball for 22 minutes and 40 seconds out of the 30 minutes in the second half. Yeah.
It's tough to beat them when they have the ball the entire time.

Speaker 2 And it's what we've always said with Kirk Cousins. When Kirk Cousins has a running game to even everything out and he doesn't have to stand in the pocket and

Speaker 2 get sacked and look super short, he can be a competent quarterback. So here it is.
We're telling you right now, Kirk Cousins can be a competent quarterback, but be careful.

Speaker 2 Kirk Cousins, Eric Carr, be careful, folks. We don't want to see you get hurt.

Speaker 8 Jump in feet first.

Speaker 2 Don't go ahead first. The Vikings are a weird team, though, because they really are like two plays away from being 3-0.

Speaker 8 They're the best 0-2 team.

Speaker 2 They were the best.

Speaker 8 They were the best 0-2 team in the NFL.

Speaker 2 But the conversation about them is so different if they're 3-0 right now.

Speaker 8 It's real close, yeah.

Speaker 2 The Seahawks are broken again. Stop me if you heard this before, but the Seahawks are broken.
So

Speaker 2 Seahawks, this season,

Speaker 2 first half, 21 points. Second half, 7 points.
First half, 24 points. Second half, 6 points.
First half, 17 points. Second half, 0 points.

Speaker 2 To add it all up, in the first halves this season, they've scored 62 points. In the second halves of this season, they scored 13.
That's pretty remarkable.

Speaker 8 They need more conditioning work.

Speaker 2 That's a stark difference.

Speaker 8 That's what your coach would tell you back in high school and middle school. If you got outscored in the second half, you just got to run more.
Yeah. So Pete Carroll, just make him run more.
Yeah.

Speaker 8 That's it. It's a simple fix at this point.

Speaker 2 But that feels broken.

Speaker 8 It does feel broken.

Speaker 8 I actually don't think that Pete Carroll is a very good head coach. From an X's and O's standpoint.
Obviously, from game management, he can be okay sometimes.

Speaker 2 Recruiting, getting recruits' houses.

Speaker 8 Exactly. Yeah, his credit score is really good.

Speaker 8 But as far as X's and O's type stuff goes, he gets a lot of credit for winning that Super Bowl, which they dominated with an all-time defense.

Speaker 8 I don't think he's that great of a head coach.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, you can definitely make the case for it because he's a big culture guy.

Speaker 8 Yeah. And he does set up a good culture.
Culture matters. He does set up a good culture.
Culture does matter.

Speaker 8 And the Seahawks have been, they've been pretty good, but they've also had Russell Wilson on their team since 2012, which that certainly helps a lot.

Speaker 2 But I don't don't know what, like,

Speaker 2 I never understood if you are that good coming to start the game and maybe it's the first 15 plays, just run it again. Run the first 15 plays again, or run it in reverse.

Speaker 8 Yeah, they'll forget.

Speaker 2 Yeah, right.

Speaker 8 Do you think another team would actually pick up on the fact that you're running the same 15 plays in the same order? I don't think so. I don't think so.
I don't think they would.

Speaker 8 A coach should at least try it. Also, before the game, they sprinkled fake snow on the field to get the Vikings, to get the fans feeling like real Minnesota pride.
I love that.

Speaker 8 Ragnar would have absolutely torn up.

Speaker 8 He would have done donuts on the snow.

Speaker 2 Oh, shit. Ragnar.
Yeah. R.I.P.
All right, last game, and then we'll get to Football Guys of the Week and who's back. Bucks Rams, Matt Stafford.
Has he arrived?

Speaker 8 Stafford is like, I think he's the MVP.

Speaker 2 He's having his moment? He is. I actually feel really good about my take, my long-standing take, that Matt Stafford is going to be in the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 8 Seeing Matt Stafford go out there and beat Tom Brady like this, that was like twisting the knife on Lions fans, too. Yeah.

Speaker 8 The Lions, they always have to have one guy on the team who would win MVP if he was on a really good team.

Speaker 2 Yes, he was awesome. I looked it up.

Speaker 2 So Matt Stafford's 33 years old right now. Let's say he just plays, let's call it four years, which could be more, but four years.

Speaker 2 If he goes 4,000 yards and 35 touchdowns in the next four years, he will end up top eight all-time in passing yards and top five all-time in touchdowns.

Speaker 2 It varies because there's some current guys who are still obviously playing that are ahead of him, but I don't know if he can make the missing piece for him is playoff success.

Speaker 2 If he can make a Super Bowl, if he can make a couple NFC championship games, I don't know.

Speaker 2 And Matt Stafford's going to have a case.

Speaker 2 He's a good quarterback.

Speaker 8 If you're out there saying, Big Cat, those numbers sound pretty high. Well, guess what? There's 17 games now.
Yeah. Are those including playoff games?

Speaker 2 No, but not

Speaker 2 like a no, I don't think it includes playoff games. I mean, he averages more than 4,000 yards a season.
Maybe it's a little bit high on the touchdowns, but that's not like a crazy season for him.

Speaker 8 So when you said 33 years old, I was like, holy shit, I would think that Matt Stafford is like 36, 37 years old, just based on what he's been through, all the injuries and shit that he's had.

Speaker 2 Maybe that was high on the touchdowns because he has had, he's only had one season where he's been over 35 touchdowns. He had 41 when he was in 2011.
But he averages like over 4,000 yards a season.

Speaker 2 So let's say he has 30 touchdowns. He's still going to end up top 10 in both categories.
Now, how do you rate this error? I have no idea.

Speaker 2 I just know that when you have those types of numbers, and if he can figure out a way to get to a Super Bowl or even win a Super Bowl ring, then it's like if Matt said, let me just say this.

Speaker 2 If Matt Sever wins a Super Bowl this year, the very first thing they'll say on first take the next day is Matt Saffron's a Hall Fame. Yeah.
Because that will be it.

Speaker 8 You're just early to the conversation. Yeah.

Speaker 2 I was like five years early and got roasted for it for a very long time.

Speaker 8 Just chill out, man. Sean McVay.
Did you see him sprinting at the end of the first half? He looked like Dabo.

Speaker 8 He looked like either Dabo or like Jimmy V after he won the national championship and was looking for somebody to hug.

Speaker 2 Yes. Sean McVay.

Speaker 8 Coach pros. He was just, yeah, come on.
Let's maintain an air of professionalism. Right.
Mr. McVay.

Speaker 2 You want to go coach Georgia Tech and do that? Go ahead. Not in the pros.

Speaker 8 We respect it. He could have gone a taunting penalty and hurt his team for that.
Yes. Bruce Arians also looked even redder than he did last week, which was redder than the week before.

Speaker 8 When he gets mad, he gets like a mood ring for rage. Yes.
And he was like a ruby red today. He looked like he'd burst every capillary on his face.

Speaker 2 Do you think this is a look-ahead spot for Tom Brady? Yeah.

Speaker 8 That was true. We'll chalk it up to the look-ahead.

Speaker 2 Look-ahead spot.

Speaker 8 Trap game against the Rams.

Speaker 2 Trap game against the Rams. It was kind of the Rams Super Bowl, early season Super Bowl.

Speaker 8 Also, Gronk is out with a rib.

Speaker 2 It looked like a rib, yeah.

Speaker 2 If you can bring Rob Grinkowski down in pain like that and not have anything to do with his like legs, that's a hit.

Speaker 8 You win.

Speaker 2 Yes, that is a significant hit.

Speaker 2 Breakfast Club update, Cooper Cup and Matthew Stafford. 25 catches, 367 yards, five touchdowns through three games.

Speaker 2 Eat breakfast together, you perform well.

Speaker 8 This is also the first time that Tom Brady has thrown for 400 yards, no interceptions, and lost the game.

Speaker 2 Whoa.

Speaker 8 Roadmap.

Speaker 2 Did you see our co-worker Kenjak's tweet, which I had never seen on Pro Football reference?

Speaker 2 Actually, now that I'm saying it out loud, knowing that he just lives to troll people, I'm going to double-check that. Yeah, let's see what did he say.
I'm going to double check that.

Speaker 2 I literally, as I was saying it, I was like, wait, this is

Speaker 2 Photoshop.

Speaker 8 Did you see the image that Kenjack came up?

Speaker 2 Kenjack tried to send me a video

Speaker 2 last week on

Speaker 2 texting me, and I just refused to watch it. I was like, I'm not going to watch this video because there's going to be some gross, like, cockroaches coming out of something.

Speaker 2 Okay, it's real. It's real.
Tom Brady on Pro Football Reference for nicknames listed. TB12.
Stop me when there's one that you haven't used, Hank. TB12.
Yep. Tom Terrific.
Yep. Touchdown Tom.

Speaker 2 Of course. The GOAT.
Yep. The Pharaoh.
Sure.

Speaker 2 What?

Speaker 2 The Pharaoh. Scratch?

Speaker 2 The Pharaoh?

Speaker 10 Anything that's like, you know, puts him at the top,

Speaker 8 the top of the top, top, I think is fair.

Speaker 2 I want to find the one person who's called them the Pharaoh. Who is that? Show yourself.
The Pharaoh? It sounds like

Speaker 2 Tom Kern.

Speaker 8 What a ridiculous thing. It sounds like Dan Shaughnessy.
The Pharaoh. It sounds like there was a very specific game where Tom Brady beat Cairo Santos.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 8 And then Dan Shaughnessy in his post-game write-up was like, a lot of people are calling him the Pharaoh. The Pharaoh.

Speaker 8 And he just, he claps his hands, shuts his computer, takes a big sip of coffee, and then takes a massive shit.

Speaker 2 Maybe it was because of the goats, the Pharaoh, like walking around with, I don't know. That one makes no sense.
Pharaoh's Pharaoh.

Speaker 8 Who were the Pharaohs? They were the kings of Egypt.

Speaker 2 Maybe he hates Jews.

Speaker 2 Is that what it is? Pharaohs hates. Well, I mean, they made him build the no, I mean, his friend is Julian Edelman.

Speaker 8 That's true.

Speaker 2 That's true. I have to rectify that.
Although he didn't bring him to Tampa.

Speaker 8 Atone. You have to atone.

Speaker 2 He didn't bring him to.

Speaker 9 Spikes came up with it a few years ago.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 Why?

Speaker 2 Also, he's called the comeback kid or sir. The quote is me.
I refer to him as Pharaoh because he's amazing. Okay.
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 Anything that just puts him in the title is respected because he comes out every year with that edge.

Speaker 9 That's what the great ones do.

Speaker 2 Got it. Pharaoh is problematic, though.
Canceled.

Speaker 2 Enslaved people. You have to cancel the Pharaoh.
Is Tom Brady cool with that?

Speaker 10 I'm sure he is.

Speaker 2 I mean, it's not enslaving people? No. Oh.

Speaker 2 Canceling it. Oh, canceling it.
He doesn't call himself the Pharaoh. Imagine if he did.
Imagine if you met him and he's like,

Speaker 2 you know what? I like you. Go with the Pharaoh.

Speaker 10 That'd be some LeBron shit.

Speaker 8 The other nickname he has is Sir.

Speaker 2 Yeah, Comeback Hitter, Sir. Sir.

Speaker 2 I think it's Comeback Sir.

Speaker 8 The Comeback Sir.

Speaker 2 Yes, the Comeback, Sir. Not just Sir.
That's like

Speaker 8 when you leave your phone in a car for a valet. That's what that sounds like to me.

Speaker 2 Also, needs to be noted, Deshaun Jackson. We talked about Corderelle Patterson just being in the backfield in 15 years.

Speaker 2 Deshaun Jackson in 15 years will play two games and both of them he will have enormously long touchdowns. So he actually broke the record today.

Speaker 2 He has the record for most

Speaker 2 50 plus yard receptions in NFL history. Deshaun Jackson.
He beat Randy Moss. He has 44 of them and he tied the record for nine most

Speaker 2 75 plus yard touchdown receptions. Yeah.
It's insane.

Speaker 8 All you have to do is just be fast if you're Deshaun Jackson. It's crazy.
No one's one's asking you to block. No one's asking you to run like curl routes.
No one's asking you to go across the middle.

Speaker 8 Just run straight and then see if somebody can run straight with you. And they can't.

Speaker 8 And also, he leads a league in the history of the NFL for guys that catch a ball and then act like they're not going to go into the end zone at the last second. Yes.

Speaker 8 And almost get the ball knocked out of their hands. Which I love it.
And sometimes do get the ball knocked out of their hands. He fucking hates running directly into the end zone.
Yeah.

Speaker 8 Absolutely cannot do it. Well, he's so fast.

Speaker 2 He has time to just hang out.

Speaker 11 I think he loves playing football so much that when you get into the end zone you have to stop playing football for a second so he's savoring every moment yes of live action that he's in the game yes yes so deshaun jackson uh yeah two two records crazy he's still doing it um all right let's get to football guys the week that that's the sound of extremely processed dog food which is the norm at most pet food companies but at the farmer's dog we do things differently we gently cook our food without ultra-processing.

Speaker 2 All right, Billy, Football Guy of the Week.

Speaker 2 I'm so hot right now. Also, it's great that we have

Speaker 2 American Ninja Warrior back on.

Speaker 8 Feels like old times. It's 128.
Yeah, we're here.

Speaker 2 All right, right, Billy, Football Guy of the Week.

Speaker 8 So last week, the Steelers fan who shot himself and was cleaning his pants in the bathroom won.

Speaker 2 So congrats to that guy.

Speaker 2 Okay, you win a free Chevy.

Speaker 8 So

Speaker 8 first Football Guy of the Week is actually a repeat from last week, but he brought the receipts so we can talk about this.

Speaker 8 Bruce Barnum of Portland State bought 1,300 Coors Lights for everyone who came to see the game. Okay.
So he, you know, stuck to his word on it. So that's a huge football guy move.

Speaker 8 And he also, you know, bought 1,300 Blue Mountains for everyone who watched this game. I love it.
So I'm putting him back on there this week because I thought he deserved to be there.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 8 I just like to make a running, we'll leave a spot open every week for the person in America that bought the most Coors lights for other people in America.

Speaker 2 Love it, Billy.

Speaker 8 And then second nominee is also a repeat.

Speaker 2 No, no, no. Oh, that would have been fun.

Speaker 8 His name is Connor Davis, a Poplarville high school lineman who put

Speaker 2 high school football. I love it.
Well, you know what? High school football has some awesome photos. No, I know, I know, I know.
So they're underappreciated. I know.

Speaker 8 So he took his senior photo with a stack of pancakes and pouring maple syrup on it. He's a lineman.
He loves pancakes. And it's his senior year photo.

Speaker 2 I love this. This is like on Sunday Night Football when they do that halftime thing where they like spotlight on a different high school football.
That's what what we're doing now.

Speaker 8 You know what I also love about Billy is sometimes when he's telling us something and he realizes that there's not a lot of meat to the story that he's telling, he just keeps repeating the same details.

Speaker 8 So he's like, so there's this lineman and he took a picture of him eating a stack of pancakes with syrup because he's a lineman and they like pancakes.

Speaker 2 So in this picture, he's got the syrup that he's pouring on the pancakes. It's a great skill.

Speaker 8 But it's in the stadium. It's a huge blow-up picture.

Speaker 2 It's great.

Speaker 8 So he's giving out pancakes.

Speaker 2 It's great.

Speaker 8 Why pancakes? Because pancake blocks.

Speaker 2 But also because he likes pancakes?

Speaker 8 He probably also likes pancakes. He probably likes eating pancakes

Speaker 8 after he makes pancakes block. Because he's an offensive lineman.

Speaker 2 Exactly. Okay.

Speaker 8 Okay. One of the boss hogs.

Speaker 2 Yep.

Speaker 8 Anyway, third nominee is Kenny Chesney, who says that he...

Speaker 8 Wait, is he going back on the Chalacca?

Speaker 2 This is now my favorite, my favorite segment of the book.

Speaker 8 You know why Kenny Chesney? Why? Do you know why he's a football guy?

Speaker 2 Why is he a knock-knock joke?

Speaker 2 You know why Kenny Chesney is a football guy? Why? Why?

Speaker 8 He refuses to tour during the fall

Speaker 2 because of football.

Speaker 8 He doesn't want to, you know, like people playing weddings and

Speaker 8 it's always on a college football Saturday. Yeah, he's not going to do that.

Speaker 8 Well, he's got a very busy schedule of being on college game day every fucking Saturday when they don't have anybody else to make the pick in that town.

Speaker 2 I love it.

Speaker 8 Yeah, but he's not touring. That's a football guy movie.

Speaker 2 It is a football guy. He's leaving money on the

Speaker 2 football. Super rich guy.

Speaker 2 I

Speaker 2 aspire to be where I can be like, hey, I don't have to work all football season.

Speaker 8 That's awesome. Thank you, Kenny Chesney.
Yeah, thank you. I think we do all aspire to reach a level of being rich where we just take our phone off the hook for the entire fall.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it's like, hey, we got it's football season. I can't be bothered

Speaker 8 with my busy schedule. I can't be bothered to return your calls.
Yes. And the last nominee is Mark Ferrante, head coach of Villanova.
Okay. I may have butchered that name.

Speaker 2 Covered the spread.

Speaker 8 Covered the spread. And throughout practice all week, he had leaf blowers going to mimic the Beaver Stadium noise.

Speaker 2 So So he's just, whoa.

Speaker 8 So he was just, you know, leaf blowing his quarterback all through practice. Just putting it right up to his head.
That's fantastic.

Speaker 8 That sounds like the next Jameis drill: just have like five guys with a wind tunnel. Yeah, like head trimmers and all sorts of landscaping equipment just going at him.

Speaker 2 I love it. Good job, Billy.

Speaker 8 Even though they didn't win, it is an FCS team and they did cover it.

Speaker 2 They covered the spread.

Speaker 2 Listen, FCS teams covering the spread is a win.

Speaker 8 That's formerly Division I double-a. Yes.

Speaker 2 Yes. Good job, Billy.
Everyone vote blog up tomorrow? Yes. Okay.
It's already written.

Speaker 8 Beautiful. It's in the chamber.

Speaker 2 Beautiful.

Speaker 12 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 12 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 2 Hank, who's back of the week?

Speaker 10 The USA, United States of America.

Speaker 10 We are back

Speaker 10 thanks to the Ryder Cup team.

Speaker 2 Absolutely.

Speaker 10 Skull fucked Europe 19-9.

Speaker 10 Biggest win since 1975.

Speaker 2 We

Speaker 2 locked them up.

Speaker 10 Brooks and Bryson are best friends. They're

Speaker 10 hugging, holding the cup together, laughing, posting Instagram stories and shit. Everyone was getting drunk.
It looked like an awesome time in Wisconsin. I'd like to say something on Wisconsin.

Speaker 2 Oh, that was nice. I'd like to say something nice about Bryson, if I may.

Speaker 10 That To Shaw was one of the best T-shots.

Speaker 2 Incredible. Like, the fact he just...

Speaker 2 That was Tiger Woods. We were like, fuck it.
I'm just going to see if I can hit it 500 yards over all these trees.

Speaker 10 And they were winning by so much, so it didn't really matter.

Speaker 2 He was just like, fuck it. It was so, so funny watching the Euros after day one when they halved a hole.
So they have the match. They got a half a point to go down like four.

Speaker 2 And they were fist pumping like they had won the whole fucking thing. You stupid idiots.
USA is the best ever.

Speaker 8 This is actually the perfect scenario to kind of be able to root for Bryson in a circumstance. Yeah.

Speaker 8 So like you can pick and choose the parts about his game that are good and fun to watch, even when he's being an asshole. When he nukes a T-shot, that's fun to watch.

Speaker 8 And so we got to root for that when he hit the 417-yard drive, and then when he drove the green that other time in front of the whole crowd, the gallery, and like put his hands up in the air.

Speaker 8 And then I actually found myself rooting for Bryson when he was being a prick and put his putter down on the ground to be like, why didn't you give me that gimme? Yes.

Speaker 8 When he drilled, he sank like the four-foot putt.

Speaker 10 And he's like a hundred-foot putter.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 10 That was where it was like,

Speaker 10 the general rule of thumb is like, if it's within a putter, not assuming that your putter is like 60.

Speaker 8 Yeah, Bryson probably had his drive

Speaker 8 and lay that down and be like, see, that's within 70 inches. You should have given that to me.

Speaker 2 But it was awesome. Ryder Cup is such a cool, like, thing.

Speaker 2 I know we probably, I think we actually give it the appropriate amount of attention.

Speaker 2 It does suck that it goes on during football season, but it's just awesome because it's like, it's cool that there's teammates playing against another team.

Speaker 2 USA gets you a little pumped up.

Speaker 8 There's nothing more American, too, than kicking ass at a sport that we don't really care about.

Speaker 2 Right. I love it.

Speaker 8 And then just parachuting in once every couple years and being like, yeah, fuck you, Europe, in your face, you piece of shit. Right.
You know, like, we live and breathe this stuff.

Speaker 2 Right. And all the drunk dudes who like dress up in American flags.
And it's cool. I'm in.
I like it.

Speaker 2 Good who's back, Hank.

Speaker 8 Thank you. Great who's back.
Yeah, I appreciate that. I would say.
My who's back is John Bones Jones got arrested again.

Speaker 2 Oh, no.

Speaker 8 And then Dana White said, it's not even surprising at this point.

Speaker 2 Oh, no.

Speaker 8 And so we can just kind of, we could probably kiss goodbye any notion of John Bones Jones coming back to fight for any meaningful type of thing.

Speaker 2 I'm not ready to do that. I'd like to see him come out and call Daniel Cormier a pussy again.

Speaker 2 That'll get me excited.

Speaker 10 He'll do one of these boxing events in like five years.

Speaker 8 Yeah, I don't think Dana White's going to give him the time of day.

Speaker 2 Maybe rough and roundy.

Speaker 2 Yeah, maybe rough and rowdy. Who knows? All right, my who's back is my ability to hold a grudge and not mention the fact that the Cardinals have won 15 games in a row.

Speaker 8 Yeah, congratulations.

Speaker 2 Thank you. I will never mention it on this show.

Speaker 8 Which Cardinals?

Speaker 2 The St. Louis Cardinals.

Speaker 2 15 games games in a row is a lot. That's a fucking lot.

Speaker 2 But we won't talk about that.

Speaker 10 Are they getting hot too early?

Speaker 2 They're winning all these games to fucking play in the one-game playoff and get the shit kicked out of them by the Dodgers. Have fun, guys.

Speaker 8 Cool. It is late Sunday.

Speaker 2 I care about draft picks.

Speaker 2 Oh, Billy. My who's back.

Speaker 8 My real who's back is people making green day jokes later on. This is on Twitter.
Yes.

Speaker 2 Also, my real who's back is misery because I had.

Speaker 2 Sports are stupid. I really.

Speaker 2 need to reprioritize father too. Uh Billy.

Speaker 8 My who's back of the week is dog the bounty hunter. Yes, dog the bounty hunter is on the trail of Brian Laundrie.

Speaker 2 Peace, Brian Laundry. Turn yourself in, bitch.

Speaker 8 Dude, dog's like knocking on his parents.

Speaker 2 I saw that house.

Speaker 8 I saw that.

Speaker 2 6 a.m. Yo, Brian Laundrie's toast.
Go with Christ, brah. Dog.
Hope he's not smoking a fucking ice pipe because dog will smash it with his boots.

Speaker 2 And dog's also married again. Remarried.

Speaker 8 He remarried?

Speaker 2 Remarried. After? Oh, a woman who looks kind of similar to Beth.
May she rest in peace.

Speaker 8 I hope that Dog doesn't give this guy a cigarette, though.

Speaker 2 No, this guy doesn't.

Speaker 2 No.

Speaker 8 I hope Dog puts out the cigarette on his face.

Speaker 2 I hope Dog lets Leland shoot him with rubber bullets before they fucking zip tie his ass.

Speaker 8 What happens if Dog finds him before the FBI?

Speaker 2 What do you mean? He absolutely will. He's Dog the Bounty Hunter.
Like, Brian Laundrie probably saw that clip, wherever the fuckface is, and he's like, all right, it's over.

Speaker 2 Dogs, dog's on the case, it's done. Damn.
Yeah, no, he, no.

Speaker 2 The FBI probably hired Dog.

Speaker 2 Smoke him out, bro.

Speaker 8 Also, bonus, who's back? Devontae Davis.

Speaker 8 Famously retired at halftime of a Bills game. Yes.
We had a Ohio State player.

Speaker 8 It's Vante Davis. No, Devontae.

Speaker 2 I like him.

Speaker 8 What is he?

Speaker 2 Devontae Davis. I like him.
Devontae Davis.

Speaker 2 I think you're a little bit of a dude.

Speaker 2 The. I said the Vanta.

Speaker 2 I think you were also maybe doing like Devontae Adams, who played in Sunday Night Football? Yes.

Speaker 2 Yeah. It's 2 a.m.
I like The Vante.

Speaker 8 It's 2 a.m.

Speaker 8 We had an Ohio State player who quit Ohio State football in the middle of the game. He just started taking his jersey off, and one of the coaching staff members took him off the field.

Speaker 8 The Vanta Davis is what you were saying.

Speaker 2 The Ohio State University.

Speaker 10 He saw the four losses on the wall.

Speaker 2 They were down 7-0 to Akron. They were.

Speaker 8 I was a little bit afraid.

Speaker 2 I was afraid because then Akron somehow didn't cover 49 and a half point spread.

Speaker 8 I know. That was ridiculous.
They almost did at the end, though.

Speaker 2 Insane.

Speaker 2 Hank,

Speaker 8 how confident are you?

Speaker 10 I mean, with news like this, I feel great.

Speaker 2 Team is falling apart at the seams.

Speaker 8 With Devontae quitting?

Speaker 10 Well, it was in honor of Devontae.

Speaker 2 Has Ryan Day lost the locker room?

Speaker 10 This would point to yes. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Would it not? I'd agree. No, I'd agree.

Speaker 10 Do good teams have players quit in the middle of the season? Nope. Never.
Nope.

Speaker 2 Jake, finish this off. We're all so hot, sweaty, tired.

Speaker 9 My who's back of the week?

Speaker 8 It's Joe West.

Speaker 2 Yep.

Speaker 9 Crazy things happened at Fenway Park on Sunday night. He had himself a game.
There were bloopers and missed pop flies, and Joe West called strike three on Aaron Judge.

Speaker 2 Or called a foul ball,

Speaker 8 and it...

Speaker 8 The catcher caught the ball.

Speaker 10 It was a foul tip, strike three.

Speaker 8 The catcher caught it. It was what happened at the end of the Yankees game.
Where they called a phantom foul tip.

Speaker 10 He was going to, after he caught the ball, was transferring it back to his hand to throw it to the pitcher and dropped it, and they said it was a phantom foul.

Speaker 2 Not reviewable.

Speaker 9 Judge hits a two-on-double. Stanton hits a bomb over the monster.

Speaker 2 Sweet guy.

Speaker 2 He just makes everything about Joe West. He has incredible experience.
Crazy strike recalls. Like he's, just when you think that you have forgotten about Joe West, he's like, nuh-uh, America.
Exactly.

Speaker 2 I'm still Joe West.

Speaker 10 I feel like Joe West lives in a world where the ESPN game cast and like square that shows where the pitches actually go. I don't think he acknowledges its existence.
No, no, no.

Speaker 10 Because in every game, there's like Joe West, call this a strike, and the ball is just like four feet outside.

Speaker 2 I love that ball.

Speaker 8 I admire his commitment to like find new ways to make things about Joe West. Yes, he's actually an innovator.
Yes.

Speaker 8 For most people, they could pull that stunt off for maybe a year, maybe two, and find ways to make it about themselves. Joe West has made an entire career out of it.

Speaker 2 Joe?

Speaker 8 To the point where I think I'm going to miss Joe West when he's gone. In fact, I know I am.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Because I don't know.

Speaker 8 It's fun to laugh at Joe West doing Joe West stuff.

Speaker 2 It's insane how he's able to keep himself in the moment. Everyone has to.
Joe West is 9-11. Never forget.

Speaker 9 His strike three call,

Speaker 9 Call Looking, is literally like he doesn't want to be there.

Speaker 2 I don't know if you guys have seen it.

Speaker 9 He just stands up and does this. You just never forget Joe Williams.
No emotion.

Speaker 8 I'm going to listen to his country album when I go home today. Oh, love it.
Love it. He's got a song about going on a blind date and his girl being like, hey, quit looking at the candy corn girl.

Speaker 8 If you cheat on me, you'll be out at home.

Speaker 2 Oh,

Speaker 2 yeah.

Speaker 2 It's a great album. Joe West.

Speaker 2 All right, numbers. Great guest coming on Wednesday, by the way.

Speaker 8 95.

Speaker 2 One we've been looking forward to for a very long time. Haven't taped it yet, so I can't say who.

Speaker 8 I mean,

Speaker 2 97.
