Speaker 4 and then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 4 Oh, we're gonna rock it down to Elite Trake Avenue,

Speaker 3 and then we'll take it. It's part of my take presented by Buster School Sports.

Speaker 4 Welcome to part of my take presented by Dave and Busters: the greatest place place in the world to watch football this fall. Check it out at D ⁇ B's.
Today is Monday, September 13th,

Speaker 4 week one.

Speaker 4 We start in western New York where the Bills and Steelers clash in a battle of Super Bowl contenders. COVID is no different than just an average Cole as Beasley caught everything.

Speaker 4 Deontay Johnson and Johnson gave the Steelers a boost as big Pharma Rocklessberger threaded the needle to his wide receiver for a score.

Speaker 4 The game changed on a big play in the second half, and speaking of a hack getting blocked, no one is able to see Michael Rappaport's tweets anymore.

Speaker 4 Here we go.

Speaker 4 Steelers, here we go.

Speaker 4 Pittsburgh's going to Super Bowl. Stellar's 23.
Bills, 16. What? What?

Speaker 4 Some spread. We head to Cincinnati vs.
Minnesota, two cities known for being very chilly, as we mourn the passing of Joe Burrow, the giraffe.

Speaker 4 And in a touching tribute to our sweet prince, the human Joe Burrow had the zookeeper's playing neck as he connected with Jamar Chase for 101 yards and a touchdown.

Speaker 4 In a garden of Thelin, Adam was the first man in the end zone, but Minnesota came up short as seven minutes and Evan McPherson went into the closet with his sister, but didn't kiss her, stopping us all from witnessing a tie.

Speaker 4 The Bangles 27, the Markets 24,

Speaker 4 to Nash Vegas, where four Chandler Jones trolled the Titans' backfield all afternoon long with five sacks. Chris Kyler Murray delivered a kill shot with four touchdowns and over 300 yards.

Speaker 4 Kirk was a good Christian, unlike Ryan Satan Hill. As for the Titans' offensive line, well, they had Taylor LeWah Wahwah.

Speaker 4 Just wanted on the record. We're still for the boys.
Cardinals 38, Titans 13.

Speaker 4 Down the road to Atlanta as Jalen Hurts so good.

Speaker 4 Arthur Smith stinks we knew that he would cuz Jalen hurts so good. Eagles cornerback Jalen Hurts was on fire Sunday hitting his tight end.
Zach arts so good.

Speaker 4 Yeah, baby, make it art so good. Arthur Smith stinks we knew that he would cuz Zach arts so good.
Jayvon Cougar Mellencamp had two sacks and look at those bald eagles fly. Ain't that America?

Speaker 4 Little did he palmature Ryan.

Speaker 4 Just American kid doing the best that he can. But it looks like the thrill of living is gone for the Falcons.
Eagles, 32. The Falcons, six.

Speaker 4 Two birds. Two birds.
Two birds. One cup.
One stone. In Detroit, Trey Lance Bass came out onto the field when the offense wasn't in sync to throw his first career pass, which was also a touchdown.

Speaker 4 Tim Debo Samuel did his best impression of a Mets outfielder, dropping an easy ball late in the fourth, keeping the Lions hope for a win alive. Dan DeLion Campbell had his team fighting until the end.

Speaker 4 And we'll have to wait another week until we give him his Trey Flowers. Niners 41, Lions 33.

Speaker 4 Punk Bumpo!

Speaker 4 In Indianapolis, where Olivia Rodrigo Blankenship said the kick is up, and it's good for you.

Speaker 4 Carson Wentz finally had his cast away, but still let Wilson get away as the first half MVP was at it again with four touchdowns.

Speaker 4 Chris Carson had pleat Garrett wearing his best pair of sideline khakis. And speaking of straight lines, DK Metcalf ran a couple routes and scored a touchdown.
Seahawks, 28. The Colts, 16.

Speaker 4 I'm going to have to tag you on that one, T.

Speaker 4 Oh.

Speaker 4 In Ral John, Justin Herbert Hoover sent Washington fans into a great depression as JP Morgan Chase Young isn't too big to fail after all.

Speaker 4 Terry Shiavo McLaurin showed signs of life, but Brandon Staley said, hey, can I borrow this outlet for my Chargers? Too soon, boom.

Speaker 4 Dying Fitzpatrick hit his life alert after taking a fall and hurting his hip.

Speaker 4 And as a fan of football in general, let's hope he's he's okay chargers 20 washington football team 16 let me do that again the san diego superchargers 20 washington football team 16.

Speaker 4 and we drive through tuscalosa north where we'll take a big mac and tua cheeseburgers with some admiral nelson aguilar and don't worry there might be a little dust on the waddle but brian flores tenure is getting sweeter with time and speaking of time bill belichek starts his 47th straight season coaching in the NFL.

Speaker 4 47 years ago, we both had hair teas. A lot more hair boom.

Speaker 4 The student becomes a teacher as Flores and the Dolphins take down the hoodie. And let me be the first to wish Julian Edelman a happy Yom Kippur from the couch.

Speaker 4 As it was clear, without him, the New England Patriots weren't fast enough. Dolphins 17, the Patriots 16.

Speaker 4 Sitting on a corner, Jameis Winston down in Nova Such a fine sight to finally see.

Speaker 4 He's finally back, leading the Saints attack, looking slim and throwing five TDs. You haven't learned your lesson.
Rogers looks depressing.

Speaker 4 Your job's in jeopardy, answer in the form of a question.

Speaker 4 Saints 38, Packers 3, and we finish in Kansas City, where you can find me in the tub. Battle for a dub as two quarterbacks make 50 cents.

Speaker 4 Astro Glyde Edwards Alaire slipped through all the holes, and the Kool-Aid man Andy Reid unleashed Chris Jonestown.

Speaker 4 And the Browns special teams had Cleveland fans everywhere killing themselves as they couldn't get a Guyana Chiefs receiver. The Chiefs come back for a huge win: 33, 29.

Speaker 4 All right, week one in the books. Obviously, Monday Night Football coming up.

Speaker 4 Okay,

Speaker 4 week one in the books.

Speaker 4 All of our teams suck

Speaker 4 except Jake, who is the best in the office. Again, his Dolphins won.
But if you are just tuning in for your first time with pardon my take in the NFL season, we are going to recap every single game.

Speaker 4 We're going to start with Sunday night football. Then we're going to go back and go through the entire slate.

Speaker 3 You can almost relive your Sunday afternoon with us.

Speaker 4 Yes, so Sunday night football.

Speaker 4 The Bears suck, man. They really suck.
And I don't want to just sit here and just be like, man, they suck. And I hate Matt Nagy because I think people are probably just sick of hearing that.

Speaker 4 But I really don't have much more to say besides the Bears aren't good. And Matt Nagy, I fucking hate you.

Speaker 3 Well, I can give you a spin zone. The Rams look like they could win the Super Bowl based off of tonight.
Well, the Rams look pretty good. Okay, they do.
Matt Stafford,

Speaker 3 it was very refreshing to see Matt Stafford play on a competent team for a change. Yes.
Except when he danced after he threw that first touchdown pass, that bomb down the field.

Speaker 3 I've never seen Matt Stafford that happy, and I don't know how to process it. Yes.
It's almost like he's a rookie quarterback this year. We don't really know what Matt Stafford is.
He's very happy.

Speaker 4 I thought the Rams looked good. I also thought the Bears' defense is everything that I was worried about because I've talked at length about the whole Matt Nagy, Justin Fields, Andy Dalton thing.

Speaker 4 It is what it is.

Speaker 4 I'm just going to sit here and watch him tickle us all and play just a tip with Justin Fields coming in every now and then to do like a shovel pass or he had a touchdown run, which was electric.

Speaker 4 That is what it is. I have been worried for a while.
Oh, is that my computer? Yes. I have been worried for a while that the defense was going to age and it was going to start looking bad.

Speaker 3 I don't know what happened to the secondary.

Speaker 4 I don't know what happened to Eddie Jackson, but there were plays in that game that looked like the Bears were a college football team where you're like, wait, is there a safety on the field?

Speaker 4 I can't tell if there is. So all my worst nightmares in that respect have come true.
The Bears can never, ever have a good offense and a good defense at the same time. It is actually impossible.

Speaker 4 So if Justin Fields becomes the guy, which I hope he does, of course the defense is going to age the way it does and basically have no pass rush, no secondary, and everything falls apart.

Speaker 3 But if Justin Fields is good and he's able to use his feet and get around, they're going to eat up more time, so at least the defense won't be tired all the time. Yeah.
That's a bonus. There we go.

Speaker 3 I mean, you would rather, though, have one unit that's really, really good and one bad than just have two average units because then you just get confused and you don't know what's going to show up in a given week.

Speaker 4 Here's a crazy thing, PFT, and I think we both probably don't know what this looks like, but what about both being good?

Speaker 3 No, that can't happen.

Speaker 3 That's meant for other teams that are

Speaker 4 competent.

Speaker 3 It's meant for teams like the New England Patriots to be able to do that. Big Cat, we are resigned to be rooting in perpetuity for the most frustrating NFL teams.
None of that's going to change.

Speaker 3 I did enjoy elements of Justin Fields in that offense, especially in that first first drive when they put him in. I thought Matt Nagy was a genius for a second.

Speaker 3 For a second, I thought he was a genius, and he was saying, you know, like Andy Dalton is going to start week one no matter what, and then he'd turn the reins over Justin Fields halfway through the very first drive.

Speaker 3 Turns out Matt Nagy is just as dumb as we thought he was, if not more, because I actually think the dumbest thing that Matt Nagy did tonight was in the fourth quarter when they were down by, what were they down, like 17?

Speaker 4 17, 13, 20.

Speaker 3 But they could have kicked a field goal. They were down 13.
They could have kicked a field goal to make it a 10-point game at that time.

Speaker 3 Instead, they went for it on 4th and 15, got a lot of plays in the playbook for 4th and 15, and then ran a route that took the receiver to like 13 yards. Correct.

Speaker 4 And then didn't bring Justin Fields in for the last drive when the game is already at hand and might as well get him some in-game reps.

Speaker 4 It was galaxy brain shit because he said, I'm starting Andy Dalton. I'm going to piss everyone off.
I'm starting Andy Dalton. We promised him the job in March.
I don't care what anyone says.

Speaker 4 Oh, I'm going to put Justin Fields in, but I'm also not going to let him get a rhythm. I'm also not going to really let him throw.
He did throw once. He completed his first pass.

Speaker 4 I guess technically twice because there was the shovel pass as well, which was a throw. I'm not going to let him throw.

Speaker 4 I'm going to let him use his feet once with the touchdown, but I also am not going to use him in spots like fourth and four when Andy Dalton can't get a first down with his feet and Justin Fields would be the perfect guy to be in there.

Speaker 4 I'm going to use Andy Dalton.

Speaker 4 Again,

Speaker 4 the moment has always been too big for Matt Nagy. I really do think the double doink murdered his brain.
The fact that he spent the next

Speaker 4 entire training camp practicing from the exact spot that the double doink happened from, that was the sign of a guy who, like, he, he just,

Speaker 4 he needs, it's like Bill Murray and fucking, what about Bob? He's the crazy one.

Speaker 4 You're the crazy guy, dude. Like, you can't figure this out.
So,

Speaker 4 whatever. Andy Dalton's a nice guy.
Matt Nagy, it's fine. The Bears, there was a moment in the game where I was like, they're not as bad as I thought they were.

Speaker 4 And then they ended up losing by 20 points. And they are just as bad as I thought they were.
And again, the defense is going to be bad. I have something more important to talk about, though.

Speaker 4 What does Chris Collinsworth and Matt Nagy, what's going on there?

Speaker 3 So I think it's just because Andy Dalton used to play for the Bengals.

Speaker 4 Is that it?

Speaker 3 I think that Chris has like a thing for a former Bengal that got away, and he's openly rooting for Andy Dalton because he saw Andy Dalton bring competent quarterback play to the Bengals, which is a rare thing in Cincinnati.

Speaker 3 So I think Collinsworth is now going out on a full limb. Collinsworth's prep was so, what's the word? Fastidious? Is that the SAT word?

Speaker 3 On Andy Dalton, and he was so prepared to talk about Andy that he didn't even know what Matt Stafford's wife looked like.

Speaker 4 Did you see that part? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 Chris was like, all blondes look the same from behind to me. I don't know.
I can't tell those apart.

Speaker 4 It was, what were you going to say, Hank? It was crazy.

Speaker 8 Well, no, I was going to say you during the game, you were like upset at Chris Collinsworth, and you were like, find out what he did.

Speaker 4 Yeah, no, I made memes. Go find it.
I was like, find out how Chris Collinsworth and Matt Nagy know each other.

Speaker 3 Because the only thing that made sense is a Cincinnati.

Speaker 4 Cincinnati, also Matt Nagy went on Chris Collinsworth's podcast.

Speaker 4 And I like Chris Collinsworth, but it was crazy how much he was supporting Matt Nagy's decision and being like, Justin Fields doesn't know how to read a defense. Dude, he played at Ohio State.

Speaker 4 He played major, major college football. He's like not stupid.
He knows, of course, there's rookie shit that he probably will make mistakes. Zach Wilson made some mistakes today.

Speaker 4 I'd rather, if I were a Jets fan, I'm happy that Zach Wilson was out there making those mistakes because he'll learn. It was just, it blew my mind.

Speaker 4 I don't know what Chris Collinsworth and Matt Niggy's relationship is, but it reminded me of,

Speaker 4 and you guys might not remember this, but I think Bears fans will remember this.

Speaker 4 John Gruden on Monday Night Football, I think it was like 2013 or 14, just completely shitting on Jay Cutler because John Gruden used to have Mark Tressman on his coaching staff and essentially just spending the entire broadcast being like, Mark Tressman's trying his best, but the guys are, you know, his quarterback does not know what he's doing.

Speaker 4 And just sitting there being like, what the fuck is going on? Why can't you just call this how it is? Like, Mark Tressman, not a great coach.

Speaker 4 And Matt Nagy, not starting Justin Fields, doesn't need an entire broadcast having someone defend him the way that Chris Collins work did.

Speaker 3 Yeah, and if there's one thing that we will not stand for on the show, it's people that do a podcast being biased towards their guests. But admit it.

Speaker 3 We would never do that.

Speaker 4 We admit our bias.

Speaker 4 We admit it. We admit our bias.
When we're biased, we tell you when we're biased. We say when we're biased.

Speaker 4 Also, we're not on, like, we're not doing Sunday Night Football. I think it's a little different.

Speaker 3 I'm being biased right now in everything that I say. You should not listen to me and expect any sort of neutrality.
I'm not Switzerland.

Speaker 4 Wait, but if Chris Collinsworth is biased on his podcast, I don't give a fuck. That's his podcast, right? This is a broadcast where he's basically telling us

Speaker 4 Justin Fields isn't able to start in this game, and anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot.

Speaker 3 Yeah, the only thing that he was nutting over harder than Andy Dalton was that circle video board that they had. Yes.
Just amazed by a circular television.

Speaker 4 And also the quote that he used for Sean McVay, which I'm not going to put on Collinsworth, I'm going to put on McVay, where McVay said,

Speaker 4 We love Jared Goff. He set up the Rams to be a franchise good enough that Matt Stafford would want to come here.
That was the most brutal thing you can say about a guy.

Speaker 4 It's essentially like the meanest.

Speaker 4 It's the woman being like, yeah, my husband was so nice to me and he taught me how to learn and how to find a new boyfriend that can give me great sex. Exactly.

Speaker 3 Or, yeah, like a guy just being like, This, listen, my first wife got me to a place where I was comfortable and confident enough in myself that I could go out and hit on other chicks.

Speaker 3 Yeah, like you said, you shout out to her. She did a great job.
We appreciate her time that she spent here.

Speaker 4 It's a girl breaking up with you and being like, You taught me how to love and how to respect myself.

Speaker 3 Yeah, listen, all the pictures that I put of us on Instagram together that made other girls be like, Holy shit,

Speaker 3 this guy is nice enough and normal enough that he can have a girlfriend. Now I'm interested.

Speaker 4 Yeah, you taught me that I would like more than two inches. Yeah.
Okay, so you taught me some great lessons that

Speaker 4 I need to think of myself, my own self-worth, as higher than I was when I was with you.

Speaker 4 That's essentially what Sean McVay said. So it was a very that hurt my feelings.

Speaker 4 I hope Jared Goff wasn't listening, who played well today in the second half. But yeah, so that was the game sucks.
The Bears are going to be bad this year.

Speaker 4 I'm not going to let it affect me week in and week out. That's the one nice part is that

Speaker 4 my expectations could not be lower so that you can't get hurt as much when you really don't expect anything. And guess what? We'll get to everything else, but still in first place at the NFC North.

Speaker 3 I think the Gin Blossom said that if you don't expect too much from me, you might not be let down. Yeah, there we go.
It makes sense.

Speaker 3 I'm okay. The only problem I have with the Rams' performance tonight, because I think they played a pretty good all-around game of football, they have too many captains on offense.
Too many captains.

Speaker 3 They've got Whitworth on the line, Cooks, Cooper Cup, and Matt Stafford are all captains.

Speaker 3 I don't like seeing all those C's.

Speaker 4 Also,

Speaker 4 their end zone's too many colors. It is, yeah.

Speaker 4 I like the idea. It's a throwback.
It's cool, but it just, it looks fake.

Speaker 3 Well, the problem is like the first three yards of the end zone, it's a yellow stripe that runs across the field. It makes it look like you're not even in the end zone yet.
Right, right.

Speaker 3 I don't think, like, sometimes teams do that at the back of the end zone. Yeah.
You think they're out of bounds. You think that you have to go further to get in than you really do.

Speaker 4 Yeah, no, but the Rams were really good. That was two mismatch teams, two teams going in opposite directions, and that's what we got for Sunday night football.
All right, let's move on.

Speaker 4 Let's move on to some other games.

Speaker 4 Oh, one last thing about the Bears game.

Speaker 4 That first five minutes was so fucking funny. How they ran the ball back.
Nice run back. David Montgomery, who's awesome.
I fucking love David Montgomery. He makes me happy.

Speaker 4 Then they get all the way down to the four-yard line. Andy Dalton throws an interception, and then Matt Safford throws a bomb.
And it was like

Speaker 4 four minutes into the game was a whole game. I was like, I'm out of breath.
I can't handle this. All right.
Eagles, Falcons.

Speaker 4 Jalen Hurts might be the guy. And so week one is a big like, oh, we probably should have paid attention to this a little more.
Nick Siriani.

Speaker 4 So my question is, coming out of this game, Nick Siriani, good coach, Jalen Hurts, the guy, or did they just play the Falcons?

Speaker 3 I think it's a little bit of both. Nick Nick Siriani, by the way, knew that he was going to be on TV for the first time, like on a big broadcast.

Speaker 3 So he wore his most extra medium polo shirt that he had, made him look like he was in good shape.

Speaker 3 You have to come out strong as a head coach because first impressions are everything for people like us that see you on TV.

Speaker 3 And if you look frumpy at all, that's what we have in our minds for you for the rest of your career. So Siriani passed that first test.
He got dressed using a mirror today, which is good.

Speaker 3 And then on the other hand, we had Arthur Smith. Just, I think he said after the game, I sucked getting us ready for this game.
So he pulled the old, that's the Falcon style.

Speaker 3 I got to take a long look in the mirror myself, and it starts with me.

Speaker 4 Well, I do feel bad for Arthur Smith in the fact that I think the Falcons are just cursed.

Speaker 4 Totally new coaching staff. You know, Julio leaves.
They draft Kyle Pitts. They still can't score in the red zone.

Speaker 4 They get six points. They drove down the field in their first two drives very easily, scored six points total, basically did nothing the rest of the game.

Speaker 4 And I am at the point now where I officially, I want it on the record. I officially feel bad for Matt Ryan.
I feel bad for Matt Ryan, especially after watching what Matt Stafford got.

Speaker 4 Matt Stafford is like the middle-aged puppy that got adopted. Matt Ryan is a slightly older puppy that might smell a little bit, or not puppy, dog, and no one's adopting him.

Speaker 4 He's stuck there.

Speaker 3 He was like in a long-term foster situation for about a year. Right.
And he looked great. And he had like a bushy tail, happy disposition.

Speaker 3 He was finishing his meals, going outside at the appropriate times, not pissing in the house. And then the foster parent had to give him back.
And they're like, we can't handle this pup.

Speaker 4 I thought going into this season. They were good for wild.
They were good for a while, but at this point, it's sad.

Speaker 4 He's the most sackable quarterback in the NFL. He can't move.

Speaker 3 When they were good,

Speaker 3 they were still kind of bad in weird ways.

Speaker 4 Yeah, no, they had a good run. Like, he had a good run.
He won an MVP.

Speaker 4 They were winning the Super Bowl 28-3.

Speaker 4 At this point, I feel bad for him because it's like he's, if you're going to play out the stretch in Atlanta, it's probably not going to get better before it gets good. Like, their defense is bad.

Speaker 4 I mean, their defense is really bad. Their offensive line is not good.
And I don't know. I just feel bad for him.
Like, he's clearly, he's not the same guy he was when he won the MVP. I just feel bad.

Speaker 4 I don't know. It's sad to see quarterbacks.
He's a really nice guy. And it's just not, it's not going to.
The Falcons are not going to be good this year.

Speaker 3 If you compare Matt Ryan to Matt Stafford, I would have agreed with you going in this season, where if you found Matt Ryan a good home like this year, I still would have agreed and said, yeah, he can be a very, very good quarterback this year.

Speaker 3 But he doesn't look good just when he does have open guys to throw to him.

Speaker 3 I feel like the last two years, the last year and a half, has really sunk him down, has really defeated him.

Speaker 3 This season is probably going to be... I would say that, well, he's not in danger of getting benched because I think his backup is Josh Rosen, who looks like Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 4 Don't believe in him.

Speaker 3 He looks like, did you see that picture of him? Yeah. After the game, he looks

Speaker 3 like Aaron Rodgers got captured by ISIS and he's being forced to

Speaker 3 hold a newspaper up to his head. Still believe in him.
He's been on every team in the NFL so far. He's going to keep getting chances.

Speaker 3 But I don't see Matt Ryan pulling it together this season, the Falcons being a good team, because I think their leading rusher today was Corderelle Patterson.

Speaker 4 Yeah, no,

Speaker 4 he's dynamic anywhere he ends up. He just becomes the guy that you run every play for.
By the way, I'm just going to push back on one thing. Josh Rosen doesn't get chances.

Speaker 4 He gets chances, but without getting a chance.

Speaker 3 He gets chances.

Speaker 4 He doesn't actually get a chance.

Speaker 3 He gets it home.

Speaker 4 Yeah, he never gets an actual chance. He gets a lot.
He gets passed around, and then they're like, okay, you can be the third quarterback, but you're not going to get a chance.

Speaker 3 And he's the kind of guy that will show up and get the third quarterback position, and then he won't get a chance to even get a rep in practice.

Speaker 4 They'll cut him with no reps. Yes.

Speaker 4 When we signed him, we cut him. Yeah.
Two days later.

Speaker 4 Jalen Hurts' second touchdown pass. That was so

Speaker 4 we know that we always do this where if you see one play that you love of a guy or a bad play, you can kind of just write how you think of him.

Speaker 4 Jalen Hurts, the way he moved up and to the right in the pocket for his second touchdown pass. Again, this might be just the Falcons being this bad, but I was like, ooh, he's good.

Speaker 4 So I'm a believer in Jalen Hurts now.

Speaker 3 And I think I'm a believer in Devontae Smith. Oh, yeah.
I think he is big enough to play in the NFL, putting to bed some of those concerns. Yes.
Because

Speaker 3 first,

Speaker 3 you got to be able to jam the guy if you're going to jam him. And he can just, turns out you can just run away from a cornerback.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 So he's fast enough to play in the NFL, even though he's, what, like, 170 pounds?

Speaker 4 Yeah, he's a skinny guy, but he's very, very good. Okay.
The Falcons are going to be really bad. It's going to be very sad.
I said that a couple weeks ago.

Speaker 4 I had a couple of people be like, we're not going to be that bad. I think they're going to be really, really bad.
Yeah. All right.
Steelers bills.

Speaker 4 So. It happens to be that TJ Watt actually is very, very good, and they should have paid him all that money because he was fucking awesome.

Speaker 4 We also didn't talk about it because it was breaking news at the end of last thursday's show uh adam schefter writing a tweet that was just tj watt writing the tweet it read uh steelers outside linebacker tj watt overruled his agents who believe they could get more money today marched into the office of steelers president art rooney and told him they had a deal then the nfl's new highest paid defensive player excused himself and announced he had to go to work he had to go work out he'll go work out yeah he had to go work out out.

Speaker 4 That'll show him. He'll also work.

Speaker 3 Yeah, you know what? Keep your money. I need to get in the gym.

Speaker 4 This is close to Scheffter just being like, TJ Watts signed a new contract. Then he went and rescued a kitten from a tree and an old lady who was tied to a rail track as a

Speaker 4 dastardly villain. Yeah, as a train came barreling down.
Yeah. Oh, and then he donated all his money.
And, oh, he then went and fixed my car. Thank you, TJ Watt.

Speaker 3 Yeah, TJ Watt got a record amount of money for a defensive player who has also donated one of his kidneys each year to a needy, alcoholic child.

Speaker 4 Are Schefter and TJ Watt, do they have the same agent? I would assume. Can you find that for me?

Speaker 3 I don't know, but I feel like...

Speaker 4 I would assume this was written by T.J. Watt.

Speaker 3 I actually think this is written by J.J. Watt.

Speaker 3 This has JJ's fingerprints all over it. It's crazy.
And then, you know what?

Speaker 3 TJ Watt is getting dangerously close to getting it too much because announcers are always like, this guy, you know, TJ Watt, he gets it. He gets it.
He understands what it means to be a pro.

Speaker 3 He gets it. TJ gets it too much with this whole like, like declaring to the ownership,

Speaker 3 am I done signing my multi-million dollar contract? Because I have to go to the gym now.

Speaker 4 Hey, guys, I'm sorry that I have to do this paperwork, but I really got to go squat. Okay, please.
All right, so the Steelers' defense is awesome.

Speaker 4 That was a big time, like, oh yeah, they fell off last year. Things happened.
They got injuries.

Speaker 4 It sputtered out. But fuck, they're really good at defense.
And Cam Hayward needs a lot of credit, too, because I feel like he's the unsung guy where we talk about TJ Watt a lot.

Speaker 4 But Cam Hayward is just, he just eats up space.

Speaker 4 And they, so the big thing with the Steelers, like, they just don't have to blitz. They just get pressure with

Speaker 4 four guys, and they dominated the Bills today defensively.

Speaker 3 There was one really weird play, the fourth and one play that the Bills ran, I think, from the Steelers' 40-yard line, where Josh Allen dropped back.

Speaker 3 He turned around, and then he threw it like overhand. You know how we talk about Josh Allen pressing all the buttons when he's getting sacked?

Speaker 3 This was actually, you do it in Madden all the time, when you accidentally throw a lateral with your quarterback behind the line of scrimmage, and you just throw it as hard as you can to the guy that's directly behind you.

Speaker 3 Yes. That's what the play call was for Josh Allen to like throw a fucking dart to the running back, staying right behind him, who, of course, gets tackled for a loss in the backfield.

Speaker 4 That was a weird play.

Speaker 3 That was very strange.

Speaker 4 It was very strange.

Speaker 4 The block punt, this is, you just love when, you know, a coach who says, you know, it's a third of the game.

Speaker 3 You have 30 special teams. Big cat.

Speaker 4 Yeah, special teams. But it actually did basically swing the entire game.
And the Steelers just, yeah, their defense suffocated the Bills. And I'm not worried about the Bills.

Speaker 4 I do think we should stop, as like a country, we should do the Bills a favor and stop pumping them up so that the expectations, because I was pumped for the Bills. I was excited for the Bills.

Speaker 4 But yeah, I think we should just leave the Bills alone for a little bit.

Speaker 3 It's a long season.

Speaker 4 Let them do their thing. Let Josh Allen do his thing.
Then we can revisit.

Speaker 4 But yeah, the Steelers. And Big Ben, I do think he's lost too much weight.
He got ragdolled by Jordan Poyer, who is like 100 pounds lighter. So put it back on, Big Ben.

Speaker 4 But I think, is Big Ben in his, let me ask you this, is Big Ben in his

Speaker 4 playmaker phase where he can just not be good and not throw it deep for three quarters if he can just make a few big throws, which he did in the fourth quarter. I think Ben win a game.

Speaker 3 Ben's definitely in just keep it close. Yeah.
And then Ben will win the game for us. Right.

Speaker 4 Make a couple of things. Couple you have to do.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Big Ben will make some throws when he counts.
I agree. I think he looks.
It's weird seeing Big Ben that light because at least when he's fat, he's got an excuse of why he's so slow. Right.

Speaker 3 And now it's just like, wow, he's slow and he's skinny. Like, something's got to give here.
Right. So, but I, trust me, I think by Halloween, he'll put that.
Yeah. You know what he needs to do?

Speaker 4 When's his birthday?

Speaker 3 I don't know. He needs, he needs

Speaker 3 needs to have another kid so he can put on, have an excuse to put on the sympathy wave.

Speaker 3 Listen, I'm eating in sympathy for my wife right now.

Speaker 4 Yeah, give me Big Ben's birthday, Jake.

Speaker 4 Big Ben's birthday is any time in the next three months. We'll get back to Big Big Ben.
But I agree.

Speaker 3 I think the Steelers are good. March 2nd.
March 2nd, all that stuff.

Speaker 3 Well, it's almost as... What is his? Half birthday.

Speaker 4 Half birthday. Yeah, probably had.

Speaker 9 It just passed 10 days ago.

Speaker 4 Oh, okay, well, Christmas. Coming up, Thanksgiving.
What about Halloween?

Speaker 3 When are his kids' birthdays? Because he'll have to eat cake for those.

Speaker 4 He will have to eat cake. Yeah,

Speaker 4 I do think Matt Canada, who's their new offensive coordinator, will figure out a way to kind of open up this Steelers' offense, but it was weird watching the game, and it just basically was going back to the beginning of last year where it was like the Steelers can't really do anything offensively, can't really run the ball.

Speaker 4 They ran the ball a little bit better, but they play unbelievable defense, and Big Ben makes enough plays. And it really was.

Speaker 4 I don't think Josh Allen wasn't great, but it was just the defense was up his ass the entire game.

Speaker 3 And it's very weird seeing Emmanuel Sanders, who, yes, he is a Bill. Yep.
I think he's wearing number one now. Yeah.
Really strange.

Speaker 3 Actually, you know what the weirdest thing is? I figured out today, it's not when

Speaker 3 a cornerback or a linebacker wears like number 11 or number 13.

Speaker 3 It's when a running back wears a single digit. That is still fucking with my head.

Speaker 4 I still can't. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Our tight end. Kyle Pitts wearing number eight.

Speaker 4 Yeah, the thing that's killing me is when a guy catches a ball and they have number seven or eight. Yeah.
I'm like, what is going going on? Well, because

Speaker 3 that guy should be a gadget guy. The single-digit guys are gadget guys.

Speaker 4 You should be a backup quarterback.

Speaker 3 You shouldn't be a starter. Although it is a nice life hack instead of just wearing like a black t-shirt.
If you just wear a jersey with a number one on it, that makes you look skinnier.

Speaker 4 Also, remind me, I let my bias get the best of me, obviously, because I do want the Bills to do well. But remind me that anytime Mike Tomlin's ever an underdog, we just need to auto-bet him.

Speaker 4 Because he is. That's just what he does.

Speaker 3 Yeah,

Speaker 3 the Bills are used to being like, nobody believes in us. Right.
How are they going to manage the burden of expectations?

Speaker 4 We got to lay off. You know what? We got to lay off them so that they can get back to nobody believes in us.

Speaker 3 Josh, don't listen to this.

Speaker 4 The same old Bills. Same old Bills.

Speaker 3 Story is old as time. They'll probably lose to the Patriots twice again this year.
Who do the Bills have? That's just how it is.

Speaker 4 Yeah, we just need to chill out with the Bills. That's all.

Speaker 4 I just thought about that because I was genuinely hyped to watch the Bills, and I thought, you know, they were going to be electric offensively.

Speaker 4 Again, it was a very tough start against a really, really good defense.

Speaker 4 So we just all need to collectively say, hey, Bills, go do your thing, and then we'll revisit when, you know, we've written a ton of stories.

Speaker 4 All right, they're playing at the Dolphins next week, and then they have the Watch Game football team.

Speaker 3 That's a big game at the Dolphins. And then they have the Texans.
So that will be good. They're all big games.

Speaker 4 They're all big games. Any given Sunday.
All right, Vikings, Bengals.

Speaker 4 Bengals win 27-24. The Bengals have the most high energy

Speaker 3 franchise ever. Huge tie energy.

Speaker 4 They're just always flirting with a tie or tying. It would have been great to get a week one tie.

Speaker 4 My biggest takeaway from this game, though, is I don't know how Vikings fans deal with it at this point because I am sick of watching Kirk Cousins and I have nothing to do with it. Thank you.

Speaker 4 Thank you. I'm so sick of watching him play football.

Speaker 4 I really am.

Speaker 3 Well, he stinks, as is his right, his body, his choice.

Speaker 3 I've had to watch Kirk Cousins stink it up for a long time, and he's the kind of quarterback that will have a couple games this season where he'll look good and he'll throw some very nice long completions.

Speaker 3 But Kirk Cousins is what Kirk Cousins has always been. And he's extremely frustrated.
And I can't imagine how you feel if you're paying him all that money to be like a top five quarterback in the NFL.

Speaker 3 And then he goes out there and he looks, I mean, at his best, he looks like Matt Stafford on like the worst steroids in the world.

Speaker 4 Well, the best part about like having, well, there's a lot of good parts of having this job, but one of them is that we get to sit and watch all the games on Sunday.

Speaker 4 So we were watching watching this game, and if you didn't watch this game and you just went and looked or you played fantasy and you saw that Kirk Cousins had 351 yards and two touchdowns, you're like, damn, Kirk Cousins.

Speaker 4 No, he stinks. He stinks.
He doesn't throw the ball downfield at all. If you have a third and long, it's basically an auto punt.
It's just, he's bad.

Speaker 4 He had 5.8 yards depth of target. No, I think he's bad at this point.

Speaker 3 I don't think he's bad, but he stinks. No, he's bad.
He stinks.

Speaker 4 He's bad because of how much money he's taking up. Okay.
Now he's officially bad.

Speaker 3 Now that can use.

Speaker 4 And he's taking resources from everyone else.

Speaker 4 He's breathing our air.

Speaker 3 He's a bad asset. Yeah, right.

Speaker 4 Right. No, he's officially a bad asset.

Speaker 3 If he was paid

Speaker 3 Jameis money.

Speaker 3 If he's paid Jameis money, he would still stink.

Speaker 4 Two dollars, I think. But he wouldn't be bad.
I'd pay him $2.

Speaker 3 Fun fact about the Bengals, the reason they give off big tie energy, they've never scored an offensive touchdown in overtime as a franchise. I love that.
So

Speaker 4 how many overtimes? A lot.

Speaker 3 Say what you want about Fat Randy, but you remember when he missed that kick last year?

Speaker 3 The route that he accidentally kicked inside the stadium that threw off his, remember he looks down at the grass? They got rid of that route. And now they've got, what's his name, Evan McPherson? Yes.

Speaker 3 That was cool seeing a rookie kicker in his first overtime get carried off the field.

Speaker 4 Yeah, it was cool. And

Speaker 4 the Bengals played well. It was great to see Joe Burrow out there.
I did think at times it was like, why aren't they letting Joe Burrow throw it more? But they were running the ball really well.

Speaker 4 Joe Joe Mixon was awesome he's good and Zach Taylor had an all-time just be right at the end moment because he basically blew the game he got them to overtime by blowing the game it was he went for it on fourth and one on his own 30 with three minutes left in the third quarter up 14.

Speaker 4 it was and it was essentially when we get to a point where we get so aggressive with analytics and it's like always go for it on fourth down, never punt, and you just lose all ability to take like time and space the bengals were dominating the vikings the game was essentially over he gives the ball right back to them they score game on but then he redeems himself and the uh fourth and one where it looked like they were they had joe burrow do a play action pass where everyone bit and he throws it deep in overtime to win the game that was genius well i want to correct the narrative right now big cat i'm glad that you brought that play up because i saw everybody online being like, what a play call by Zach Taylor.

Speaker 3 A lot of Randy Marsh gifts of him with the wheelbarrow and the nutsack going around town.

Speaker 3 That was Joe Burrow who checked out of that play and into the play that ended up getting them that massive gain.

Speaker 4 So he gets credit for going for fourth and one.

Speaker 3 He gets credit for putting Joe Burrow in a position to beat Joe Burrow.

Speaker 4 It was just, it's just crazy because it really, and we'll get to like the Dolphins Patriots game where

Speaker 4 the distinction between the difference between winning and losing is so razor

Speaker 4 that

Speaker 4 no one will really talk about Zach Taylor essentially almost losing him that game with that fourth and one call on his own 30 with three minutes left. When the game was,

Speaker 4 we were watching that game. It was on.

Speaker 4 They were dominating that game.

Speaker 3 It was a bird-brain move.

Speaker 4 Yeah, it was crazy. We were saying in the moment, it was not revisionist history.
We were saying, what the fuck are you doing? Like, being aggressive is great. More coaches should be aggressive.

Speaker 4 That was just plain stupidity. Yeah.

Speaker 3 No, that should be, we should do a part of my take, like hollow brain move of the game, move of the week. And that was the hollow brain move.
We will not forget about that move by Zach Taylor. No.

Speaker 3 You know what? I'm counting that as a loss in Zach Taylor's head coaching record. It counts as a win overall.
And for Joe Burrow, it counts as a dub.

Speaker 4 Also, maybe Jamar Chase was just fucking with all of us because he caught the ball fine.

Speaker 3 I actually think that he was. I think he was like, what's the dumbest sounding thing I can say? Well,

Speaker 3 I can't catch the ball because it doesn't have the white stuff on it.

Speaker 4 What can I get Florio to blog? Yeah. He's basically, Jamar Chase, come on the podcast.
You and us, we're the same because you're just pranking Florio in a different way.

Speaker 9 Did you see Joe Burrow went up to the podium and he's like, I thought Jamar Chase drops everything.

Speaker 4 So that's what he needed. So this was a prank.
Yeah. And they pulled it off.

Speaker 9 Also, the last 10 ties in NFL history, the Bengals have been part of four of them.

Speaker 3 Yeah, tie energy. The most tieable franchise.

Speaker 4 Tie energy.

Speaker 3 I was rooting so hard for a tie, too.

Speaker 4 They're like Mario Kart for football games. Like, even if they're way ahead, someone will get a lightning or go for it on fourth and one more 30 and catch them at first place.

Speaker 3 They're like a really average soccer team. They're like the U.S.
men's national team.

Speaker 4 They're Wolverhampton.

Speaker 3 There you go.

Speaker 4 They tie a lot of things.

Speaker 3 Okay, I love that.

Speaker 3 One thing I'm a little bit concerned about, Mike Zimmer looks like he put on maybe 40 pounds

Speaker 3 in the offseason. That's okay.
You think he's going to work it off?

Speaker 3 I think he will during football season. He's like the opposite of Big Ben, where he's just going to live in his office and just subsist on a diet of sunflower seeds and red man.

Speaker 3 If he switches to like zero-calorie red man, I think he'll drop 15 pounds within like five days.

Speaker 4 You also forgot that he, I think he has a new girlfriend, so he's good. He doesn't,

Speaker 4 you know what I mean? Yep. He's 40 pounds.
When you're 40 pounds overweight, if you still get laid.

Speaker 3 All I'm saying, still get laid. Mike Zimmer, good job.

Speaker 4 I'm so sick of Kirk Cousins. Sorry, Vikings fans.
I'm just so... Yeah, I know, I know.

Speaker 4 I was just thinking about how much it must suck now because it really is that much, much, much money, and he just, sucks.

Speaker 3 So, I've noticed that, you know, three years ago when I started laying real thick on the Kirk Cousins slander, there were a lot of Vikings fans that would defend him.

Speaker 3 The last two years, they understand. You start to slowly realize the type of situation you're in with Kirk Cousins.

Speaker 3 Because you're right, he does have those moments and the stat lines where it's like, yeah, he played like a, like the numbers say that he was, you know, a top 10 quarterback this weekend.

Speaker 3 But you see that enough, and you're like, I'm not going to get fooled again by this. He's also,

Speaker 4 if everything is right right around him,

Speaker 4 you can sell yourself on it. Because if your defense is great and you have great wide receivers, you're like, okay, this could work because, you know, he's more than competent in that setting.

Speaker 4 But when it's not exactly that setting, it's like, man, does he stink? Yeah. Well,

Speaker 3 like we said, he's a bad asset. It's tough to have everything right around him when he's taking up such a huge percentage of the catch.

Speaker 4 And he gets paid a ton of money, and he doesn't elevate anyone's game. That's really what it comes down to.
The great quarterbacks in the league elevate other people. He does not.

Speaker 3 The only player that he will elevate on the field is his tight end because, like Kyle Rudolph, he got a lot of touchdowns from Kirk Cousins, throwing him really catchable balls inside the five-yard line.

Speaker 3 But besides that, you're right. He doesn't make anybody better.
Right.

Speaker 4 All right. 49ers, Lions.

Speaker 4 Trey Lance, first QB to throw

Speaker 4 his first pass for a touchdown since Tim Tebow in 2010. Good company.
Shout out Tim Tebow.

Speaker 4 This game was a blowout, and then Dan Campbell, Campbell, they never quit.

Speaker 4 That was the Lions fighting them, which I love to see. We all kind of expected that they wouldn't quit in games.

Speaker 4 But yeah, it was more, like, you'll look at this score, and you'll say, oh, the Lions were kind of close there. Oh, did you kick your bug?

Speaker 9 I tried clapping a fly.

Speaker 4 I missed.

Speaker 4 But to me, it was more that Kyle Shanahan's back. The 49ers have an offense back.
Guys are not injured anymore. Jimmy G was pretty good.

Speaker 3 They had two injuries today. Starting cornerback towards ACL.

Speaker 3 And then most hurt his knee. They don't think it's an ACL.

Speaker 4 They can just roll out any of that.

Speaker 3 Whoever.

Speaker 3 I could run for 1,500 yards in the Cal Shanahan offense.

Speaker 4 I think their first seven possessions went

Speaker 4 Jimmy G fumbled, and then they scored in the next six. Yeah.
So

Speaker 4 they were rolling, rolling, rolling. Everyone got a little bit of a scare because I think the 49ers week one this year was the most teased game in America history.
Everyone had the 49ers in a tease.

Speaker 4 So the Lions almost ruined all that. But yeah, it was more that the 49ers look awesome again.

Speaker 4 And the Lions, they didn't quit. But yeah, they're not, I mean, they don't have a great roster.

Speaker 3 I agree that Dan Campbell should probably just get a contract extension now for having the Lions come back in this game.

Speaker 3 For having a roster that's so badly outmatched compared to the 49ers and to be down that much and to come back and keep it competitive.

Speaker 3 And yeah, they got an onside kick, but still, like, they did not quit. Good for them.
Yep.

Speaker 4 I mean, Jared Goff played well in the second half.

Speaker 3 Played really well in the second half, and they had a running back who just got well,

Speaker 3 he definitely did not kill a guy.

Speaker 4 Billy, did you find anything else about that?

Speaker 4 I said you weren't here, but I said as we're talking about DeAndre Swift, there was a weird rumor online last week.

Speaker 4 And my rule in life is if Billy believes something to be 100% fact, it's almost always not true. No, no, no.

Speaker 10 The only things that was substantiated, that there was a picture of a police report.

Speaker 4 That was was substantiated billy was like i got the police report well billy the only idea i was just literally a cop literally came in the room and said a report just asked

Speaker 10 if killed a guy yeah well i was asking if you guys knew anything because there was also an like actual news report of the events happening so the event in the police report did actually happen

Speaker 4 him and oj confirmed running back just did kill somebody maybe his data we should data was the same the same night there was a murder same place that was described in the report whenever there's like a rumor like this online we just need to have you do a a press conference and give your findings, and then we just do the opposite.

Speaker 3 Wouldn't it be great if Dan Campbell leaked that report just to make the 49ers afraid of him?

Speaker 4 Like, wow,

Speaker 3 we're going up against a guy that shot a dude.

Speaker 4 The report could have been Photoshopped. It could have.

Speaker 4 That's the one that's. You're willing to say that.

Speaker 10 I'm saying the report was definitely of a real shooting that occurred.

Speaker 4 We don't know if they put in football photos of DeAndre Swift was in it. It was just a picture of someone's computer.
Right. So it could have been.

Speaker 10 But that's that's actually harder to fake.

Speaker 3 A picture of a computer? No, because then you just do a Photoshop and the Photoshop doesn't look as fake because you're taking a picture of it.

Speaker 4 It's a computer with your computer.

Speaker 3 It's way easier.

Speaker 4 This is true. Okay, either way.
Yeah, credit to the Lions.

Speaker 3 Good try, though, Billy. Yeah, it's a good try.

Speaker 4 I don't want it to be true, of course not. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 Listen, that's our job as journalists. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Look into this stuff. The Lions fought.
They fought their ass off. Listen, Billy,

Speaker 4 it's like my picks on sports advisors were one in five today. I think one in five? Terrible.
You can fade me.

Speaker 4 It's good to have you around so when news like this happens and you say, yo, he killed a guy, I'm like, all right, good. Now I don't have to worry about it.

Speaker 4 Like, I don't have to drop him for my fantasy team. He definitely didn't kill a guy.

Speaker 3 Like, it's good. That was their biggest win of the week.
Our running back is not a murderer.

Speaker 4 Imagine if he did. That would be Billy's going to have a great.
I hope for you, Billy.

Speaker 10 I hope no one actually killed anybody for the record.

Speaker 4 All right, good. Anti-murder.

Speaker 4 I'm happy Debo Samuel had a good game except for that fumble just because his name is awesome.

Speaker 3 Yeah, Debo.

Speaker 4 Debo Samuel.

Speaker 3 I'm terrified of a guy named Debo. It's great.
A million percent of the time. It's great.

Speaker 4 So, all right. Next up, Cardinals, Titans.

Speaker 4 God damn it. Chandler Jones was incredible.
Five sacks.

Speaker 4 The Cardinals whooped. Whooped the Titans.
So there was, I saw a stat.

Speaker 4 Chandler Jones, this is his second career game with four plus sacks and two forced fumbles. And he's the only player to do that in the last 20 years.
So he basically just goes nuclear

Speaker 4 and no one can stop him.

Speaker 4 We are for the boys, but there were some boys that had bad games, but we are for the boys.

Speaker 3 Is Taylor focusing too much on podcasting?

Speaker 4 I don't know. More blocking.

Speaker 3 We're for the boys. Less talking.

Speaker 4 We are for the boys.

Speaker 3 We are for the boys, yeah, for sure. That's not even a question.
We are the biggest boys podcast.

Speaker 4 I also

Speaker 4 have a confession to make.

Speaker 4 I don't want to say I forgot because I think I just didn't realize that A.J. Green was on the Cardinals.
Yeah, yeah. Just didn't realize that.

Speaker 3 A.J. Green's on the Cardinals.

Speaker 4 He's on the Cardinals.

Speaker 3 He's still good. Yep.
He's still very good.

Speaker 4 And Rondell Moore is awesome, and the Cardinals are loaded offensively.

Speaker 3 Kyler Murray looks taller than he did last year. When does the human body stop growing vertically?

Speaker 4 I don't know.

Speaker 3 Let me say 37 or 38. Billy? I think it's 25.

Speaker 10 It's 21. 21.

Speaker 4 Okay, 21.

Speaker 3 Kyler looks taller. I don't know if it's a bigger helmet or what it is.

Speaker 3 Maybe it's a smaller helmet, which would make the rest of his body look a little bit bigger, but he is able to do things on the football field that I forgot how dynamic he is when he's running with the ball.

Speaker 3 And he's at his best, I think, when he's scrambling around, buying time, getting ready to throw.

Speaker 3 And much like Russell Wilson, he's always looking downfield to see where the guy is going to be cutting to because you can't cover a wide receiver for longer than three seconds at a time.

Speaker 3 So when he's just like, he's...

Speaker 3 I don't know if he's the fastest quarterback in the league. He might not be the zero to 60 fastest, but I think he's the fastest going from 60 to 0.

Speaker 4 Ooh, nice. Cutting on a dime.

Speaker 3 I think he stops really fast.

Speaker 4 So I think Lamar Jackson is probably the fastest. And I was thinking about this, and this is a very, very big compliment I'm about to give Kyler Murray.
I think Kyler Murray, and again, I know

Speaker 4 Lamar Jackson won the MVP, incredible player. I think Kyler Murray is the most

Speaker 4 real-life video game play

Speaker 4 character since Michael Vick. When you watch him run around,

Speaker 4 you think it looks like if you had just made a created a player in a video game and made him 99 speed and just like every play you just did laps around the lineman trying to get guys open like it's crazy watching him run in the backfield like you said it's not even running forward it's just spinning and running backwards he is Carson Wentz thinks that he's Kyler Murray that's how he plays but Kyler Murray is so fucking good and so special that

Speaker 4 yeah I kind of forgot like watching him play today was incredible i think he is the he's the human d-pad not the human joystick yeah he's like he's amazing to watch out there but you remember and you know what i think he's actually at least in this game he looks like he's gotten better as a passer too yes but you remember when remember when michael vick like came on the scene and he was the video i mean first at virginia tech then the falcons madden 2004 playing with him in Madden was incredible.

Speaker 4 It was like, Michael Vick is a cheat code. This is awesome.

Speaker 4 And his real life was essentially like playing a video game because he would do runs you're like that's a video game run kyler murray is the first guy like that where it's like what the fuck how is he running he ran one today where he ran like backwards 20 yards and no one even came close to touching him and then he ran forwards 10 yards and threw the ball down the field yeah you know he's a lot of fun to watch i do think it's interesting that chandler jones had this game a career game right when JJ Watt gets into the locker room.

Speaker 3 Maybe they're sharing supplements.

Speaker 3 I don't know. Interesting.
Kinseiko and Maguire shared supplements too before Maguire went on that terror.

Speaker 4 Interesting. By the way, I think.

Speaker 3 Not saying I'm not making any accusations.

Speaker 3 It's a fact that J.J. Watt is now in the same locker room.
That's true.

Speaker 4 That he is in the same

Speaker 4 locker room as Chandler Jones.

Speaker 10 Or J.J. Watts getting all the double teams.

Speaker 4 Oh, nice. There you go.

Speaker 3 Freeing up the rest of the guys.

Speaker 4 Mike Rabel definitely strikes me as a bury the football guy. This would be a good bury the football game.
Just be like, week one didn't happen. We're moving on.

Speaker 4 Let's fucking pretend this, just bury the football, have a funeral for a football, actually, literally bury a football on the week two.

Speaker 3 I could see him instead of lighting the film on fire, just lighting the film room on fire. Yeah.
Just like throwing a couple M80s into the film room.

Speaker 4 Something literal needs to happen.

Speaker 3 Taping it off with like caution tape. We're not going into that room.
Whatever that environment was in there, that's radioactive. That's Chernobyl.
We don't go into that room anymore.

Speaker 3 We're getting a new film room from now on. He is,

Speaker 3 I want to give a little bit of credit to Billy Football for his Derrick Henry take that he came out with a year, year and a half ago, and everything.

Speaker 4 It's actually genius.

Speaker 3 It is genius that Derrick Henry is not a good short-yardage back because he's just too big. He's too tall, right? His legs are too long.

Speaker 4 His legs are too long.

Speaker 3 I kind of agree with. I don't know if it's necessarily just his legs, but we know that Mike Vrabel respects mass more than anything.

Speaker 3 He just likes big dudes on his team, and there's just more of him to tackle.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 10 Also, it takes him longer to accelerate because his legs are so long. So that's how like J.J.
Watt catches him in the backfield in those situations.

Speaker 4 And we watched it. There was a first and goal, and they ran it two or three times, and he got tripped up in the backfield.

Speaker 4 Their offensive line was also had an all-time bad day. But yes, I agree with your take.

Speaker 10 Just a certain play when he's running in between the tackles because when he goes out on stretches, he gets those yards. It's just him in space.

Speaker 3 Yeah, because he can run horizontally for a few yards, build up that head of steam, and then make that cut and deliver a stiff arm from hell. Right.

Speaker 3 But yeah, when he gets the ball in the backfield, he does take like a gather step almost. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Yeah. So the Titans throw it out.
Cardinals,

Speaker 4 who knows? This could be. I do have the take that Cliff Kingsbury could be on the hot seat this year.
And I actually think that

Speaker 4 this performance actually solidifies my take that the Cardinals have so much offensive firepower now. Like the fact that they have Rondell Moore, who is electric at Purdue,

Speaker 4 and A.J. Green and Christian Kirk and DeAndre Hopkins, who it feels like DeAndre Hopkins is doing a

Speaker 4 it feels like he's on a you guys all forgot about me tour that like the last year and a half where it's like you guys forgot I'm one of the best players in the NFL. So

Speaker 4 yeah, I think they are going to be very good and if they're not, I'm going to blame Cliff Kingsbury.

Speaker 3 Well, I think that's fair. The offense did look shitty.
And it wasn't just the blocking. It wasn't just the offensive line, which was definitely a problem.
But they looked totally out of sync.

Speaker 3 That's a new offensive coordinator that they have because Arthur Smith got hired for the Falcons. And so, I don't know.
Is this a regression year for Ryan Tannehill? Uh-oh.

Speaker 3 I've been very wrong about Ryan Tannehill for the last two years.

Speaker 4 You're Max Kellerman here. I am.

Speaker 3 I am. But if I keep saying it, I'll eventually be right.

Speaker 4 You absolutely. I mean,

Speaker 4 he has to

Speaker 4 retire at some point. Right.
Right?

Speaker 4 All right. Seahawks, Colts.

Speaker 4 This is, I'm going to throw my hand up again.

Speaker 4 There's a lot of storylines going into this season. I do think that we kind of just forgot about the Seahawks and Russell Wilson.
Obviously, it's, you know, first half of the season, Russell Wilson.

Speaker 4 Russell Wilson almost, Russell Wilson got cucked on his own, I'm discontent, I want to get out of my city by Aaron Rodgers. Like, he wasn't even the, he didn't even get to win that this offseason.

Speaker 4 But the Seahawks looked awesome. They kind of took their foot off the gas towards the end, but he was, Russell Wilson was out of this world.
Like, he was hitting the deep balls.

Speaker 4 He had four touchdowns. He only had a few incompletions.
He was incredible. They have the new offensive coordinator.

Speaker 4 Maybe they finally figured out the perfect mix and match of run-pass, Shane Waldron, because Chris Carson had a good game, but they were also throwing the ball. And yeah, I don't know.
The Colts.

Speaker 4 The Colts are the weirdest team because I feel like we've been talking about the Colts roster. Like, Chris Ballard has won a million awards, and

Speaker 4 where is it?

Speaker 3 Well, it's because everything around the middle of their offensive defense is really good. Like, their linebackers are really good.
Their offensive line is really good.

Speaker 4 But their offensive line kind of gotten.

Speaker 4 The Seahawks, the weird, the crazy thing about this game is the Seahawks might have a defense again.

Speaker 3 They might.

Speaker 4 Like, their defensive line was very good.

Speaker 3 Still pretty early to see.

Speaker 4 Yeah, no, of course. But

Speaker 4 the Colts' offensive line is very good.

Speaker 3 The Seahawks were still grading on a scale for the last couple of years because they've been awful, like, really bad defensively.

Speaker 3 But if they can be decent, I might have been too soon to label them frauds. But again, it's against the Colts right now.

Speaker 3 And Jim Ursa actually needs to take some credit for it because he tweeted out that the roof would be closed. I think that was his decision.

Speaker 3 And then he had people responding to him, pointing out that there are 152 sunny days a year in Seattle, and in Indianapolis, there are 186 sunny days per year.

Speaker 3 So it actually would have been to their advantage to close the roof. Mr.
Ursay said, he acknowledged that he said, Yeah, I got to love my roof announcements. Thank you for pointing this out.

Speaker 3 Ursay can always take the blame for this. Yeah.
Be like, this is my fault.

Speaker 4 I roofied myself.

Speaker 4 Yes, exactly.

Speaker 4 I am, thankfully, I am finally cured of my,

Speaker 4 Carson Wentz might still be good disease. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 4 So I'm done with that, which is nice because it did cost me a lot of money last year where I was like, he's got a, that guy I saw him in 2000, what, 17? 18? Yeah. 17, whatever it was.
He was awesome.

Speaker 4 He was an MVP candidate.

Speaker 3 That's why I bet on him.

Speaker 3 That's why I bet on him. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Because

Speaker 3 I am not cured yet.

Speaker 4 I still think he gets cured. Oh, you bet on the Colts today? Yeah.
I thought you've been on the Seahawks.

Speaker 3 No, I bet on the Colts. I'm still very much in the middle of thinking.

Speaker 3 I said on Friday's show that I have the mindset that every Philadelphia Eagles fan had until they traded him, which is we can put this all together. Eventually, Carson Wentz.

Speaker 3 I still think that they can. I'm cured.

Speaker 4 But

Speaker 3 I'm in a weird place where I know that I'm wrong to think that, but I still think it. So you need to...
There's got to be a German word for it.

Speaker 4 I just woke up one day and I was like, he sucks. So hopefully that happens.

Speaker 3 Just enlighten me.

Speaker 4 Yeah, it'll be like Nirvana.

Speaker 3 I'll just wake up one day and I'll be a new, a changed person.

Speaker 4 I remember I bet him a bunch of times last year being like, oh, Carson Wentz, the Eagles, they're going to fight.

Speaker 4 And then for some reason, today I woke up, or it was actually probably a couple months ago. I was like, Carson Wentz is not good.

Speaker 3 I can't wait for that moment when I wake up. It's great.

Speaker 4 It's freeing.

Speaker 3 You know, like when people are struggling to get over breakup, and somebody tells them, one day you wake up and you just won't miss her anymore. Yeah.

Speaker 3 That's what I'm hoping for that day with myself and Carson Wentz.

Speaker 4 I don't even look at his Instagram anymore.

Speaker 3 I hope not. Yep.
I'm sick of seeing all those fucking dead ducks.

Speaker 4 Yeah, but we did forget about the Seahawks, so apologies. Fucking NFC West is so loaded.

Speaker 3 Also, we should have known better than to bet against Pete Carroll the day after 9-11. True.

Speaker 3 He's been up for days just doing his research.

Speaker 4 Yes, he's, yeah, he's wired right now.

Speaker 4 He is definitely wired. Can the entire NFC West make the playoffs? Is that the thing we're going to say?

Speaker 3 Do you think Pete Carroll ever watches Loose Change and he throws a challenge flag at his screen?

Speaker 4 Yeah, probably.

Speaker 3 Can we get a review? Yeah, please.

Speaker 4 It looked like thermal. Go back to the booth here.

Speaker 4 I don't believe this. I didn't see a plane.
Did you see? God damn it, the internet's actually the worst. There was like people going viral on September 11th, being like, I don't see any planes.

Speaker 4 And it was just a reverse angle.

Speaker 4 Like, are we really this stupid? But we are. We are.
We are just stupid. We are absolutely the stupid.

Speaker 4 All right. PF.

Speaker 3 What? I was just going to say, people think that still just a missile hit the Pentagon when hundreds of people were driving

Speaker 4 on the road and saw yeah we are definitely that stupid all right sorry for forgetting about the uh Seahawks their uh

Speaker 4 guy from their pick from a

Speaker 4 last year I want to say Daryl Taylor their pass rusher from Tennessee who got hurt he was in the he played today and is good so that's why I'm starting to think oh okay bonus pick like if you're if your guy if you pick someone he gets hurt and then he comes back that's a bonus draft pick you got another first-rounder.

Speaker 3 Right. The Kevin Browns.
I don't know if he was a.

Speaker 4 He might have been a second-rounder, but either way, I think the Seahawks will see, but the Colts obviously have an offensive line that everyone raves about. So

Speaker 4 I'm thinking, ah, maybe they have a defense again. But again, it's Russell Wilson first half of the.

Speaker 4 We got to wait till Monday night football, and someone says Russell Wilson's never got an MVP vote, and then that's when we start fighting.

Speaker 3 Well, Pete Carroll's going to vote him for MVP. Yes.

Speaker 4 Pete Prisco.

Speaker 3 What'd I say? Pete Carroll. Pete Carroll also.

Speaker 4 That's okay.

Speaker 4 All right. PFT, before we get to the next game,

Speaker 4 you have a word from our great sunglass sponsor. And PFT is going to possibly take off his sunglasses not this Thursday, but the following Thursday when we do a stream-a-thon.
So go subscribe.

Speaker 3 I think it's more than a stream-a-thon. I think it's a sub-athon.

Speaker 4 It's a sub-athon. You're right.
We're going to eat a sub.

Speaker 3 Billy's going to eat an entire party sub. We're going to get the biggest sub that we can find.
Chicken parm.

Speaker 4 Chicken Billy wants chicken parm.

Speaker 3 And I think we have 25,000 subscribers left to go. Yep, and I'll lower the shade he raised one last time.
I'll put him back on, but I'll lower him at least one time. But we're gonna be doing that.

Speaker 1 Hey, what's going on there, pal?

Speaker 11 We saw you at the hockey game on. Do I know you guys?

Speaker 4 I'm Ryan Whitney.

Speaker 11 I got a drink named after me. Not a big deal.

Speaker 12 Pink Whitney?

Speaker 9 That's what I thought.

Speaker 3 See you, fellas.

Speaker 2 I invented the thing, you pigeon.

Speaker 4 Pink Whitney for legendary moments. Okay,

Speaker 4 your Washington football team for season's over.

Speaker 3 Chargers. Season's over.

Speaker 4 So,

Speaker 4 Ryan Fitzpatrick hurt his hip, which is not good for a man his age.

Speaker 4 Usually, when someone hurts their hip, we put them in a retirement home. I don't think that's going to happen for Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Speaker 3 But he's got hip dysplasia, like an old Labrador.

Speaker 4 Yeah, that's why you don't throw a tennis ball to your lab.

Speaker 3 Right. You got to keep him on a pitch count for sure.
Right. I'm a little bit concerned.

Speaker 4 PFT is so concerned. So it was, he went through the range of emotions.

Speaker 4 When it happened, he said, well, he's questionable to return. I was like, dude, like, they throw the questionable on just so that people can feel okay for a second.

Speaker 3 No, because I look at it in my terms where I'm questionable to wake up every night.

Speaker 4 Right. You were like, he's questionable to return.
I was like, I don't think he's coming back in the game.

Speaker 4 And then an hour after the game, PFT was like eating in the other room and comes back into the TV spot and he's like, and we've got an update on Fitzpatrick. And we all were like,

Speaker 4 no, I need it. Why? Why? We're watching games.
We don't care.

Speaker 3 All right, so first of all, it's never a good sign before the game when your stadium is literally leaking sewage onto all the fans, which is a great metaphor for what it's been like to watch that team for the most part for the last 30 years.

Speaker 3 But no, they were just dumping shit onto the fans that were in the stands. Not a good start, not a good omen for the season, but still, it's Fitzpatrick.
He'll be good.

Speaker 3 He'll figure out a way to make some magic happen. So I feel more, Rob, that...
If this is, if he's hurt and out for the season, I didn't get a dose of Fitzpatrick. I know.

Speaker 3 I got like one half, if that, like a quarter.

Speaker 4 I feel bad for you, Fitzpatrick.

Speaker 3 I wanted more. I feel like

Speaker 3 the strength of our team is our defensive line. And our defensive line sucked today.
They were not home. They were not good.
Didn't get home.

Speaker 4 They have the stat for Chase Young.

Speaker 3 Well, I'm going to tell you real quick. Five pressures.
Five pressures. Win rushing four.
Chase Young was off the field on one of the most important third and longs of the game.

Speaker 3 I don't know what was going on in that moment. Tired.
But if you're Chase Young, you should probably be on the field in a passing situation to try to get the ball back and have your team win the game.

Speaker 3 Don't know what was happening again. I still think that Montez Sweat's good.
I think that they've got enough talent. I don't know if the scheme was different or whatever it was today.
It's week one.

Speaker 3 Also, the Chargers, I have them winning that division. I have the Chargers as one of my best teams in the NFL this year.
So, yeah, it was against a very good team. Catch of the year, too.

Speaker 3 Catch of the year?

Speaker 4 For what? Who? The football team. What?

Speaker 8 Shall they catch the overhand, catch on the sidelines? No. Through the Chargers' players'

Speaker 3 hands. No.

Speaker 4 Oh, I did see that guy. Who caught Terry?

Speaker 4 Yes, yes, Terry got it. It was sick.

Speaker 4 Yeah, Terry.

Speaker 3 Terry McLaurin is still very, very good. I actually,

Speaker 3 I looked it up. Ryan Fitzpatrick has a hip subluxation.
I don't know what that is,

Speaker 3 but I did ask Billy to look up what all the doctors.

Speaker 3 We want Billy to be our injury expert on the show.

Speaker 4 And we're talking

Speaker 3 and crime expert, but mostly, like for actual football analysis, I think you could do a good job being our football, what, pro football doc? Yeah. And Bubba said we should call him Bro Football Doc.

Speaker 3 Yes. I think that's good.
So

Speaker 3 rub some dirt on it. What do you have for us on Ryan Fitzpatrick?

Speaker 4 Can I just say one thing before you start with your job as pro football doc? Any rib injuries I'd like to take care of? Yes. Okay.

Speaker 10 So subluxation is not dislocation, but it's kind of halfway. So you got like a hip halfway out of the hip joint.

Speaker 3 And I feel like that's being halfway pregnant. Either your hips out.

Speaker 10 The part I couldn't really find is.

Speaker 4 Is it in yet?

Speaker 10 Is it just hanging there halfway? Does it pop back in?

Speaker 10 Can you pop it back in? Popping it back in would probably be the move, but I don't think that's like

Speaker 3 medicine. The doctor's, it's always a good thing when the doctor's like, I think it's probably the move to get your hip back into its socket.

Speaker 3 That'd be clutch if we could do that.

Speaker 4 That sounds bad.

Speaker 10 But when he's walking off the field, he gave us a thumbs up. He did.

Speaker 4 Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah.
All right, there you go.

Speaker 3 That's the kind of analysis I walk in.

Speaker 4 I think Billy gave us a thumbs up.

Speaker 3 If you give a thumbs up, you're fine.

Speaker 4 No one who's ever,

Speaker 4 ever

Speaker 4 been, like, severely injured has given a thumbs up.

Speaker 3 Never.

Speaker 10 He seemed pretty chill about it.

Speaker 3 He did seem pretty chill about it. Pretty chill.
Actually, Billy, you should not, don't call yourself a doctor. You call yourself a medic.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 Field medic. I did.
It was just very sweet, though, because when you came in, PFT, and we're like, anyone got a Fitzpatrick update, it was like, as if...

Speaker 4 like Patrick Mahomes or Aaron Rodgers had torn their knee. It was like going to be the leading story when they cut in with Terry Bradshaw.
It's like, well, it's Ryan Fitzpatrick. So one,

Speaker 4 it's Ryan Fitzpatrick. Not a bad thing.
And two, it's Ryan Fitzpatrick. He'll probably be back because it's Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Yeah. He gets injured and then comes back all the time.

Speaker 3 It's funny you mentioned that, like, you thought that's what was going through my brain because for a second, I got mad because we always get a storyline in week one if there's some significant injuries.

Speaker 3 There's always like that pre-Sunday night football moment where like Florio is talking with, I guess in this case, it'd be Maria Taylor and I don't know, usually Jack Collinsworth.

Speaker 3 And they're like, and the story this year is all, it was injury Sunday. Yeah, black Sunday in the NFL as superstars across the league went down and succumbed to various like leg injuries.

Speaker 3 I was like, why is nobody talking about what a tragic day this is in the NFL because Ryan Fitzpatrick got hurt with me? Yeah, when you said that then I realized it's Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Speaker 4 I think Barty Mush was even like, why would we fucking care? I care a little bit because I do like Ryan Fitzpatrick and I care about you. But yeah, it was, I don't think it's leading any sort of...

Speaker 4 But I hope he's back. I hope he's back.
I hope he gets better because I also want to see Ryan Fitzpatrick out there.

Speaker 3 And Taylor Heineke is a perfectly fine quarterback. But I'm always, like, you never see any great quarterbacks with arm tattoos.
Yeah. Like arm sleeves.
Trying to think.

Speaker 3 Which tells me he's a good backup to have to keep things feisty.

Speaker 4 Arm sleeve

Speaker 4 quarterback.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I can't think of any. Chad Kelly probably has a couple.

Speaker 4 I don't have any either. Manzel?

Speaker 4 Michael Vick. Why'd you whisper?

Speaker 4 It's okay to say the name Michael Vick. I've already said Michael Vick in this podcast.

Speaker 4 Let's talk about the Chargers real quick.

Speaker 4 This is a game.

Speaker 4 I don't want to say this is going to be mean.

Speaker 4 This is a game that Philip Rivers Chargers lose. And that is the nicest thing I can say about Brandon Staley and Justin Herbert.
Because, like, think about it. One score game.
They get the ball.

Speaker 4 Like, the most impressive thing that Justin Herbert did today is they get the ball with 643 left on their own 18, and the Washington football team never gets the ball again.

Speaker 4 They had four third-down conversions, third and 16, third and seven, third and four.

Speaker 4 Like, all over the place, he made the big throws when he needed to, and that feels like a game that Phil Rivers would have not gotten the first first down.

Speaker 4 Washington football team would have scored a touchdown. Then we would have him trying to score late in the fourth quarter.
But that was like a clinical Justin Herbert. You can trust him.

Speaker 4 I feel like that's the next level of maturity for a quarterback, is not like the wow plays. It's if you get a chance to ice a game, can you ice the game?

Speaker 3 He's not going to fuck everything up for you.

Speaker 4 You're right. He iced the game.
He didn't let you get the ball back.

Speaker 4 He was methodical. He made the throws when he needed to.
And I, yeah, he's really fucking good. And this is a game,

Speaker 4 the old Chargers, those Chargers would have lost to these Chargers.

Speaker 3 Yeah, these Chargers are a lot better. And with Philip Privert, it's not just about about his quarterback play.
It's just

Speaker 4 his whole aura

Speaker 3 on the sidelines. If he's on your team, weird shit's going to happen.

Speaker 3 It's just, it's like a multiplying effect where your defense is going to give up like the dumbest penalty ever.

Speaker 3 You hit a quarterback five seconds after they throw a pass and you think that you're getting off the field on third and long. Correct.
And they just like take out their knee.

Speaker 3 That's what happens to Phillip Rivers-led teams for whatever reason. Not indictment on Phillip Rivers.
It's just a fact. That's what goes down.

Speaker 4 Justin Herbert is awesome, and the Chargers are run. Like that, I just thought of that when I was watching that game.

Speaker 4 I was like, this is a game that the old Chargers would have found a way to lose on the road, all the way across the country, first game of the season, and they won.

Speaker 4 So that's a great, great sign for Brandon Steely and Justin Herbert.

Speaker 4 Season's over.

Speaker 4 That's all right. Join me.
Season's over. That's great.
Yeah, it does. It was pretty much the worst start for the Washington football team in the fact that.

Speaker 8 At least you guys aren't playing primetime anytime soon.

Speaker 4 they lost the first game. The Cowboys probably aren't as bad as we thought, and also the Eagles are somehow like this is

Speaker 4 just the NFC East in a nutshell. Like, Jalen Hurts, somehow, winning the NFC East this year would be perfectly NFC East.

Speaker 3 I think this Thursday, I'm about to slap a can't lose on it. Oh, wow.

Speaker 3 Not a must-win yet, but like you can't lose this game if you want to be in contention. You can't.

Speaker 4 You can't. All right.

Speaker 4 Jets Panthers. We'll go quick with this one.
I mean, this was a reminder that Christian McCaffrey is fucking incredible because he was hurt. I think he played three games last year.

Speaker 4 He had 21 rushes for 98 yards, nine catches for 89 yards. Basically does it all.
And then also Zach Wilson looking okay, bad, but also good.

Speaker 3 I think he looked fine.

Speaker 4 Right, like he looked like a rookie quarterback.

Speaker 3 He looked fine. He didn't do anything that made me be like, I didn't slap the bust label on him.
And believe you me, when I'm watching rookie quarterbacks in week one

Speaker 4 of their first year, I have

Speaker 4 Trevor Lawrence.

Speaker 3 Yes, please, because it's funny you say that. I have one note for that game.
Trevor Lawrence, all capitals, bust.

Speaker 4 Yeah, but no, but Zach Wilson made, he had a couple nice drives at the end of the game. What did you think, Billy? Billy was wearing his Zach Wilson jersey.

Speaker 4 He also was getting duped by replays a couple times.

Speaker 4 It's all preseason, or not preseason, it's all week one for us because I, watching the games today, around 3 o'clock, I was spent. Like, I physically was spent.
We need to get back in game shooting.

Speaker 10 New setup, too.

Speaker 4 Yep. Yep.

Speaker 10 But I think he looked like Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 4 Wow.

Speaker 3 Really late. Wait, which Super Bowl?

Speaker 4 The last one. Okay,

Speaker 4 so his offensive line sucks, but he was making plays. I don't hate that.

Speaker 10 I mean, I think if they had more game, they would have won.

Speaker 4 They ran out of time.

Speaker 3 Mecky Bechten got hurt today, was taken off the field on a cart. He was crying.
He had the towel over his head. It looked real bad.
Turns out they're saying it's just a sprained MCL.

Speaker 3 So he can come back. But he did not give the thumbs up.
He was giving a thumbs down as he was going off. Turns out that he's okay.

Speaker 4 Yeah, he was crying. He was crying.

Speaker 4 Also, this is maybe the most hilarious

Speaker 4 next-gen stat I've ever seen. So, you know, like how they always just like to throw out.
Who does the next-gen stats?

Speaker 4 Who creates them? Either way, next-gen stat from this game: Sam Darnold went a career high,

Speaker 4 two for six for 62 yards and a touchdown on deep passes. Okay, career high, two for six, and 62 yards and a touchdown on deep passes.

Speaker 4 That is a next-gen insult.

Speaker 4 He insults that.

Speaker 3 He's Mr. 2 for 6 because

Speaker 3 he also had two completions for six yards to his namesake, Dan Arnold.

Speaker 4 Oh.

Speaker 3 At tight end.

Speaker 3 That's always weird when they're like Sam Darnold to Dan Arnold.

Speaker 4 Yeah, that's a mouthful.

Speaker 4 Oh, wow. The Texans fans had a sign, don't need Deshaun.
Deshaun, I don't know.

Speaker 3 And you can tell that that's a sign that they wrote after they got in the game and saw how the game was. Yeah, no,

Speaker 3 they didn't write it beforehand. They were not, they didn't go into this game thinking they don't need Deshaun Watson.
Yes, yes. But that's, yeah, they made that on the fly.
So

Speaker 3 to them, I had two other things about the Carolina New York game. One, Sam Drummond just kind of looks like Jake Delome when he's in there, just body type, head structure.
I like it.

Speaker 3 Similar quarterbacks. Number two, it should be illegal for the linebackers to change their numbers right before the game.
They swap numbers. Yeah.
Two linebackers on the Creators. Agreed.

Speaker 3 These guys spend too long watching film film game playing for this to have you switch up the numbers on this last second. Yep.

Speaker 4 Also, their new turf looks awesome.

Speaker 3 It does. Oh, and it's totally new.
Also, there's a giant Panther that attacked the field and stands out of the game.

Speaker 4 I hope everyone's okay.

Speaker 3 Somehow they got their heads down. They were able to play a game of football after a giant robotic Panther slaughtered thousands.

Speaker 4 Yes, that was very scary. Very scary moment.

Speaker 4 All right, Jaguars, Texans.

Speaker 4 So

Speaker 4 let's give the Texans credit. Hey, let's cop it up for the Texas Texans.

Speaker 3 Let's cop it up for Texas.

Speaker 4 Deep Crisco actually nailed it on Friday's show. By the way, I think I saw some people saying that, where's Warren Sharp? Warren Sharp, we're going to try to get him on later this year.

Speaker 4 The problem is he does have a podcast with a competing betting company. So we love Warren Sharp.
All good. We fucking love him.
I talked to him about it. We're going to try to figure out a way.

Speaker 4 No bad feelings or anything like that. We truly like him, friends with him, everything.

Speaker 4 It's just, you know, we're pushing pushing out new states and we're trying to, we're in a very competitive business. All right.
So, Jaguars, Texans, Pete Prisco, what I was going to say, Pete Prisco

Speaker 4 nailed it when he was like the Texans, they've got a lot of professionals. Hey, listen.
I forgot Lovey Smith was their defensive coordinator. They got a lot of professionals.

Speaker 4 They play, you know, professional football.

Speaker 4 That's what you got to say.

Speaker 3 These guys, they get paid to play too. Yep.
Okay. On Sunday.
They're putting tape out there. They are.
They have pride in their jobs.

Speaker 4 So, David Culley, good job.

Speaker 3 Great job.

Speaker 4 Tyrod Taylor, good job.

Speaker 3 Tyrod.

Speaker 4 Tyrod Taylor, good job. Both of you, good job.

Speaker 3 I actually think that Tarod is the best quarterback ever that you can have on a shitty team. Yeah.

Speaker 3 That's your guy. If you have a bad football team, get Tarad in there.
He'll win you a couple games that he shouldn't. Yeah, he won't be that great, but everyone expects you to lose anyways.

Speaker 4 That also might be your guy, but yeah.

Speaker 3 What, Fitzpatrick? Yeah.

Speaker 4 True. Just describe Fitzpatrick.
Well,

Speaker 3 imagine rooting for Tarod Taylor and the Texans this year, and then he gets hurt right off the bottom.

Speaker 4 But he can come in, he can make some fucking plays.

Speaker 3 Listen,

Speaker 3 I feel for Texans fans because they were the butt of every joke made by us, including

Speaker 3 going into this season. But Tarad is a, he's a, he's a nice quarterback to have.

Speaker 4 He's a professional quarterback.

Speaker 3 He is a professional.

Speaker 4 He's a professional quarterback. He's the guy.

Speaker 3 He's the,

Speaker 3 what do you call it?

Speaker 3 There was a movie about

Speaker 3 a bad luck. Was it Good Luck Chuck or something? The guy that you date before you find your next guy?

Speaker 4 Jared Goff.

Speaker 3 Jared Goff. Yeah.
That's what Tarrod Taylor is. Got it.
When you're looking for your quarterback in the future, if you have Tarrod on your team, the next guy up, like last year, people forget.

Speaker 3 Tarrod Taylor is 12 months removed from getting stabbed in the ribs by a needle,

Speaker 3 which gave Justin Herbert his first start

Speaker 3 ever, excuse me, stabbed in the lung. And then before that, he was on the Browns, where Baker Mayfield took over.
So maybe whoever the Texans get in next, maybe he's a guy. Yes, yeah.

Speaker 4 By the way, that Jared Goff, that was Chris Collinsworth and Sean Sean McVay, not me. I love Jared.

Speaker 4 Yeah, so Trevor Lawrence, let's actually, I'm actually not on the Trevor Lawrence as a bust.

Speaker 4 I'm in the camp of the Jaguars are going to ruin Trevor Lawrence, and it starts with Urban Meyer. Urban Meyer,

Speaker 4 11 penalties, three turnovers, and Urban Meyer. Remember how in the Trevor Lawrence didn't look good.
He looked bad, right? Bust. Bust, in your mind.
Again, I think it's Jaguars.

Speaker 3 I'm more of the mindset that it's fun to say that Trevor Lawrence is a bust.

Speaker 4 He had three interceptions. He never had three interceptions at Clemson.
He never faced adversity at Clemson. First regular season loss of his life.
Wow. Wow.
High school and college. Wow.

Speaker 4 But my point is, Urban Meyer, you spent all of training camp splitting reps between Trevor Lawrence and Gardner Minshew to pretend that Gardner Minshew had a shot at the job.

Speaker 4 Maybe you should have given the guy that was going to start all along, your fucking franchise quarterback that you went 1-1 pick with, maybe you should have given him more reps, and maybe you should have had your team ready to play.

Speaker 4 This Urban Meyer thing, I don't know. Yeah,

Speaker 4 they were bad. They were bad.
They looked bad. They looked undisciplined.
And we've heard the reports that people are like, yeah, it kind of sucks to have to play for a guy like Urban Meyer in pro.

Speaker 4 So who knows?

Speaker 3 Before the game started, Jason Lockhan 4, and it is Jason Lockhan 4. So as far as trust-wise goes, he's like one step above your uncle on Facebook.
Right. He came out with a report that said.

Speaker 4 One step below your aunt.

Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah, exactly. Like, yeah, the stuff that they get into a fight.

Speaker 4 I trust my aunt more than I trust Jason Lockkin Forah, but I trust him more than I trust my uncle.

Speaker 3 So he came out with a report that said Urban Meyer is everyone on edge and that the vibes around the Jacksonville facility are at an all-time low before the season even starts, before week one, and that everyone hates him already.

Speaker 3 I believe it. I choose to believe it, again, because it's fun to believe that it's true.
But that report is definitely out there.

Speaker 3 And I could see, like, people were talking about how Urban Meyer was freaking out over a preseason loss and probably already sleeping at the facility and probably already cruising.

Speaker 3 He's at least typed in WebMD into his browser.

Speaker 4 He's done the hustle and hydrate.

Speaker 3 He might not have hit enter on it yet, but he's typed it.

Speaker 4 He did hustle and hydrate in practice, which is always fun to tell professionals that are making millions of dollars that they need to drink water and hydrate to go drink water.

Speaker 3 That's what Chip Kelly's downfall was. He was checking the piss of professional players.
He can go back to UCLA and look at all the urine he wants. Yeah.

Speaker 4 All right. Let's go to the afternoon slate.
Browns, Chiefs. So we've got four more games, then we'll get to the rest of the who's back and football guy of the week and send you on your way.

Speaker 4 Browns, Chiefs.

Speaker 4 Browns have won one week one game since 1999. They're 121-1.

Speaker 4 Patrick Mahomes is now 11-0 in September. This was an inevitable outcome.
The Browns looked good. They looked really good, actually.
They had a great game plan. It's just Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 4 And I thought about it. It must be so fucking awesome to root for Patrick Mahomes and root for the Chiefs and have him as your quarterback.

Speaker 4 And I know that there's obviously like Hank can speak to it, you know, rooting for Tom Brady.

Speaker 4 There's, you know, Packers fans, I'm sure, love rooting for Aaron Rodgers at times when he's not being surly.

Speaker 4 But there's something about Patrick Mahomes where we all just feel, we've seen it so many times now that, oh, we're down nine points.

Speaker 4 okay well why don't we just do a 75 yard touchdown pass to Tyreek Hill yeah like it just you just know that you are never out of it and you're not only never out of it in like the way that uh tom brady or peyton manning or aaron rodgers or drew brees you're never out of it where they can do a big drive.

Speaker 4 You're never out of it and you're never out of it by like one play. Yeah, I think it's just always there.

Speaker 3 I think the Chiefs have the offense that can score the most points in NFL history and the time that it takes you to go to the bathroom and take a shit during the third quarter and come back and then be like, what the hell hell happened here?

Speaker 4 They are

Speaker 4 the joke that people use on Twitter, like run the touchdown play. They actually do run the touchdown.

Speaker 3 So it's funny that you say the run the touchdown play thing because I think that the Chiefs are the easiest team in the league to live tweet their games, not watching their games, and just be like as basic as possible.

Speaker 3 So all you have to do is just do like, Patrick Mahomes, still good.

Speaker 4 Or like Tyreek Hill, you are ridiculous. Tyreek Hill, deuces.

Speaker 3 Deuces, yeah.

Speaker 4 Travis Kelsey, beast.

Speaker 3 This lead is safe. Said no one ever.

Speaker 4 Thanks for coming out, Chiefs.

Speaker 3 Yeah, exactly. You can get successful.

Speaker 4 Which I did use because I needed them for the Can't Lose parlay, which did win plus 300, no big deal.

Speaker 3 You can get super basic with the Chiefs because it does happen week in and week out where it's just you can set your watch.

Speaker 3 If they haven't run the touchdown play in the first quarter, they'll run it in the second quarter.

Speaker 4 I know this is a cell phone because everyone be like, wow, the Bears could have had

Speaker 4 cell phone?

Speaker 3 Cell phone.

Speaker 4 I know this is a cell phone because everyone's like, oh, Patrick's going to be a good one. That's Singh

Speaker 4 could have had him on the Bears. I don't care.
I'm at the point now because now that we're moved on to the next quarterback after,

Speaker 4 I just like watching him play, and I'm sitting there being like, man, it must be so awesome to be a Chiefs fan.

Speaker 4 And I'm sure there'll be Chiefs fans that will reply to us tomorrow and be like, yep, it is. But god damn it, that 75-yard touchdown, obviously the punt kind of, you know, that was really the play

Speaker 4 that changed the game officially. But they're down 29-20, 10 minutes left left in the fourth quarter.
And like, all right, let's run the touchdown play. Tyree Kill, 75-yard touchdown.

Speaker 3 Easy. And speaking of that punt, that's why you don't want a jacked-up punter.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 You never want a jacked-up kicker or a punter because if they lift enough weights, they start to think that they're a football player and they start to think that they can run with the ball for a first down.

Speaker 3 Yep. And Jamie Gillum, like, that was, first of all, it was just a botched kid.
He's Scottish. He's Scottish.

Speaker 3 The Scottish hammer.

Speaker 3 Don't trust him. Don't trust him.
He's too strong.

Speaker 3 You know what? It's not just that he's strong. I think you can be strong and be a punter and still be good.

Speaker 3 But if you like post pictures of your workouts and stuff, then you start thinking that you're an actual football player.

Speaker 3 That's where it becomes a problem when you drop it and then you pick it up and try to run for a first step.

Speaker 3 That's where it gets to be an issue. I also think that there is some truth to Odell Beckham

Speaker 3 being additioned by subtracting.

Speaker 4 100%.

Speaker 3 The Browns looked awesome today, with the exception of that fumble by Nick Chubb, who, by the way, is wearing gloves.

Speaker 3 I like him better when he's just going skin on skin with the ball.

Speaker 3 But

Speaker 3 besides that, like the Browns offense look really, really good today. Yeah, I know.
If I was a Browns fan, I know that they're probably freaking out.

Speaker 3 Like, I hope that this doesn't damage whatever momentum we have going because they probably should have won this game.

Speaker 4 But you're a good team. You went toe-to-toe with the Kansas City Chiefs and truly punch for punch in their place against Patrick Mahomes, who, again, has not lost in the month of September.

Speaker 4 So, yeah, if you're a Browns fan, it sucks to lose your opening game yet again. But that was definitely.

Speaker 4 I walked away being like, the Browns are for real, and the Chiefs essentially defensive plan is just let's just have Chris Jones do something sick like two or three times a game because he kind of changed, he changed the game with two or three plays on the defensive side where they were getting gashed.

Speaker 4 Oh, okay, he's got a big sacker, he's got a big tackle, and they can get back in the game.

Speaker 3 Uh, how did Judevian Clowney do today? I didn't hear his name called.

Speaker 4 Uh, I just saw him a couple times. Also, both uniforms were so bright, they were very bright on the TV.

Speaker 3 I don't know if it was the TV. Let's see, Jadevian Clowney.

Speaker 4 That is the oldest I've ever sounded. This TV is so bright.

Speaker 3 I don't see Jadavion Clowney.

Speaker 4 So he had a good tackle. Oh, wait, he had four.

Speaker 3 He had a tackle for loss today. Oh, okay.

Speaker 4 There you go. Good job.

Speaker 3 Good job. Still in the league.

Speaker 4 All right. Dolphins Patriots.
Hank, let's talk. Mac Jones looked good.
It actually is a very funny game because

Speaker 4 we talked about it with Zach Taylor. The difference between winning and

Speaker 4 losing is so small that if Damian Harris doesn't fumble the ball, Tua, that fucking pick he threw with like eight minutes left in the game where he was just wheeling around and threw it up in the air to no one,

Speaker 4 he's the one who gets all the blame. I thought Mac Jones was good, though.
What did you think?

Speaker 8 Yeah, I don't think Mac Jones is going to be catching blame. I thought I was refreshed to see what he did.
He didn't have any crazy plays, but he managed the game well, had them in a fight.

Speaker 4 Oh, no, no, no, Hank.

Speaker 3 He had a crazy play.

Speaker 4 Well, I had to miss that one. I had to wait.
He was very crazy.

Speaker 8 Coming to the Hoboken house, I missed the first drive of the game. I walked in.
They're like, you missed the craziest play.

Speaker 4 It was crazy. Well, it was because he's never seen pressure in his life.

Speaker 3 He threw a bounce pass, like a chest bounce pass that you'd see in basketball backwards. Yeah.

Speaker 8 But he had him in a position to win the game with a field goal or a touchdown with like a minute left. So that's all you can really ask for.

Speaker 8 The other thing I noticed watching this game, and I'm sure there's probably advanced stats that could back me up or tell me I'm wrong, but

Speaker 8 Tua throws left more than any other quarterback throws to their dominant hand.

Speaker 4 Like, he can't throw to the right. Ooh.

Speaker 8 I like it. Interesting.
All of his passes were to the left.

Speaker 4 I'm still not a believer in Tua.

Speaker 8 He's like a basketball player.

Speaker 4 He was better today. Make him go right.

Speaker 3 But it was funny. I thought he looked okay today.

Speaker 4 He looked okay, but that pick was an inexcusable pick that you can't have. And you can't, it's not like he's a rookie anymore.
What is he? A year two? Three? Two? Tua. Tua.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I mean, I guess so. He still is very young, so maybe you can't have that throw.
Either way, that would have cost them the game.

Speaker 8 Their first drive of the game and their first drive of the second half was like their best drives. And other than that, the defense was good.

Speaker 3 I thought it was interesting that they were putting Jacoby Brissette in Fortua. Like, I don't know what skill set

Speaker 3 Jacoby had, but it was for sneaks, but also they had him drop back a couple times. They had him in not necessarily like.

Speaker 4 Do you look fat and shooting or fortunate?

Speaker 4 He looks a little fat. He looks healthy.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 Let me ask you this, Hank. How many Super Bowls is Mac Jones going to win for you?

Speaker 4 Ooh.

Speaker 8 Conservatively, three.

Speaker 4 I was going to say you're going to say three.

Speaker 8 Three plus, though, is probably what I would say. Three.

Speaker 4 What I would expect.

Speaker 3 Anything less than three, disappointment? Yeah.

Speaker 4 Would you say dynasty officially back on?

Speaker 8 Yeah. Okay.
Well, you got to win the first one.

Speaker 4 You got to win one game to say dynasty back on.

Speaker 8 We got to win one Super Bowl.

Speaker 4 Oh, got it. Got it.
Got it.

Speaker 10 Do you think they beat the Jets next week?

Speaker 4 Yeah, absolutely. Yes.

Speaker 3 Yeah, for sure. One thing I noticed.
Nice try, Billy.

Speaker 4 I don't know. I don't know.
Really?

Speaker 4 Okay.

Speaker 3 One thing I noticed in the crowd in New England is there's probably still like 50% of New England Patriots fans are still wearing Tom Brady jerseys to the game.

Speaker 3 You think that that's still good to do? Because in my mind, you stop wearing the jersey until he retires and then he's a patriot again.

Speaker 8 I think he's a patriot for life no matter what.

Speaker 4 It's one of those things. He's literally not a patriot right now though.

Speaker 8 Yeah, but it's like people...

Speaker 8 Tom Brady won his first Super Bowl. I was eight years old.
When he won his last Super Bowl with the Patriots, I was like 26.

Speaker 3 It's crazy how time works.

Speaker 8 My entire life is with him, so it's like one of those things you just always support him. I don't know.

Speaker 10 What are you going to say, Billy? If there was a promotion where you could switch your Tom Bray jersey for a Mac Jones jersey, do you think they'd do it?

Speaker 4 I'm sure some people would.

Speaker 3 Yeah, buyback programs.

Speaker 4 Like with a firearm.

Speaker 4 Let's play our favorite game, Guess the Spread.

Speaker 3 Oh, I like this. I'm pretty good at that.

Speaker 4 Patriots, guess the spread.

Speaker 3 Are way too early looking in New York.

Speaker 8 In New York. Patriots minus six and a half.

Speaker 3 No, Patriots minus nine.

Speaker 4 Whoa.

Speaker 4 Four.

Speaker 3 Four is correct.

Speaker 4 Oh, wow. Four is correct.
I'm a little rusty. That now makes me think the Jets are going to cover.
Because I saw four and I was like, what?

Speaker 3 That doesn't make any sense. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Vegas zone.

Speaker 3 Because if you look up Bill Belichick against a rookie quarterback, I actually have no idea what the answer would be, but I assume that.

Speaker 4 But he's got a rookie quarterback.

Speaker 3 But it sounded cool when I started saying, like, Bill Belichick dominates rookie quarterbacks. Bill Belichick? I have no idea if it's correct.

Speaker 4 You should have just finished. Bill Belichick versus a rookie quarterback is 22-2.

Speaker 3 Yeah. That sounds cool.
That would not surprise me.

Speaker 4 Jake, you're the only winner today. Any thoughts?

Speaker 9 Yeah, the Dolphins have won two two out of three in Foxborough.

Speaker 9 Before that, they haven't won since the Wildcat Ronnie Brown game.

Speaker 4 Are you saying it's Miami North now?

Speaker 3 No, I wouldn't say that.

Speaker 4 Okay, you're too good of a

Speaker 3 sportsmanship.

Speaker 4 Sportsmanship. Of course.

Speaker 4 Okay,

Speaker 4 last two games. Broncos Giants.
I'm officially

Speaker 4 giving up on Daniel Jones. I am ridding myself of ever thinking he's going to be good.
At some point, you are what you are. And that fumble that he had, they were losing anyway.

Speaker 4 He had his 30th fumble today. He's been playing for like less than three years, full-time as a starter.
But he basically, they were down 10. They were driving first and 10 on the 20-yard line.

Speaker 4 And he fumbles at the Broncos 12. You just can't have it.
So I just think he just will never not fumble. And Joe Judge, you're an idiot.

Speaker 4 He tries to challenge a touchdown and gets a timeout taken away.

Speaker 3 He He has to make himself run a lap for that.

Speaker 3 That's the rule that we talked about with Calvin Johnson, where how all these bad calls, all these really unlucky circumstances happen to the Lions.

Speaker 3 That was one of the ones that I think Jim Schwartz had when he was up in Detroit. But

Speaker 3 that's a rookie head coach mistake is to try to challenge that touchdown play.

Speaker 4 It's his second year.

Speaker 3 It's your second year, Joe Jones.

Speaker 4 Daniel Jones' third year.

Speaker 3 You got to know. And Daniel Jones has 30 fumbles in 28 games.
He's the first quarterback to do that since Tony Banks, like 1994.

Speaker 3 That was per Cam, part of my take, per pro football focus.

Speaker 4 He's bad. Yeah, he's bad.
He's bad, and he loses the ball a lot.

Speaker 3 If your best asset is that you look like a distant relative of Eli Manning,

Speaker 3 that's not a plus.

Speaker 4 No, no. So he's,

Speaker 4 yeah, I'm done with that. And then Vic Fangio, the defense is back.
Teddy Bridgewater is the... I feel like we won that debate with Pete Prisco.
Yep.

Speaker 4 Teddy Bridgewater is the perfect because Drew Locke would have thrown an interception in this game that would have gotten the Giants back in the game.

Speaker 3 It's funny because if you listen back to that conversation about Drew Locke or Teddy Bridgewater, we were just talking past each other in the most hypothetical situation.

Speaker 3 Well, if Drew Locke throws like a hundred-yard touchdown pass, wouldn't you want that? Yeah, he might throw like a bad interception the first quarter.

Speaker 3 Like, we were just doing all hypotheticals, but the reality is, I think Teddy Bridgewater is a much more consistent, good quarterback.

Speaker 4 And they have a good defense. Von Miller's back.
Vic Vangel's a great defensive coach. They have dudes.
Like, they played great defense. They took care of the ball.

Speaker 4 Teddy Bridgewater did his thing, and they won easily.

Speaker 3 And Teddy looks so cool when he's wearing the two gloves with the short sleeves because later on in the year, you get the Teddy 2 gloves, but it doesn't pop as much with the long sleeves.

Speaker 3 He looked awesome today. And also, Teddy's that guy where you have to say, like, what a nice guy.
You have to root for him.

Speaker 4 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 3 Because his knee exploded. And also, his name's Teddy.
His name's Teddy. You can't be mad at him.

Speaker 4 Teddy Teddy. Right.
Right.

Speaker 4 All right. I think that's it.
Was that all the games?

Speaker 3 Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 4 Oh, wait. Hey, wait, hang on.
Oh, hold on.

Speaker 3 Speaking of quarterbacks, we were right about. Wait, did Aaron Rodgers retire?

Speaker 4 Because I'm seeing it right now. It says Saints 38, Packers 3.

Speaker 4 So he retired, right?

Speaker 3 It's a shame, big cat, that you're choosing to lead off this game with talking about how bad Aaron Winston.

Speaker 3 How great Jameis Winston was.

Speaker 4 Well, I mean,

Speaker 4 big news. Aaron Rodgers retired.
I think he's still playing, but he's technically retired mentally.

Speaker 3 He's checked out.

Speaker 3 I have a staff. He's checked out.

Speaker 4 I have a staff for you, real quick. Aaron Rodgers had 28 attempts, 133 yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions.
He had a 36.8 rating.

Speaker 4 If he had just thrown all 28 passes into the ground, he would have had a higher rating.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it would be a 39.6. Love it.

Speaker 3 So Tim Tebow would have actually been a perfect quarterback.

Speaker 4 Andy Dalton was better than Aaron Rodgers today. Yeah.
That's a fact.

Speaker 3 Aaron Rodgers does stink in Florida historically, though.

Speaker 4 He hates the state. I don't think he wants to play anymore.

Speaker 3 I don't think he wants to be in that state.

Speaker 4 I think he's done. I think he just doesn't want to play anymore.

Speaker 3 I think the Packers shouldn't have cut Blake Bortles. Yep.

Speaker 4 We put a curse on them.

Speaker 3 Curse of Blake Bortles.

Speaker 4 Okay, now Jameis. Jameis kicked the shit out of the Packers.
That was...

Speaker 4 He's everything. He is.

Speaker 3 He is everything. Five touchdowns, what, 150 yards passing? That's just efficiency.
And yeah, sure, one of them was like a little shovel pass, but whatever.

Speaker 4 Who cares?

Speaker 3 Whatever.

Speaker 4 And then he had an unbelievable sound clip after where he said,

Speaker 4 they asked him, like, about the game, and he's like, well, it's like my trainer trainer always says wait what did my trainer say oh yeah it's he said to be prepared that was it put the clip in can you put it in hank how did the defense in the running game give overall shape to the way this played out jameis well i just think we were prepared you know one thing my uh my trainer he told me he said what did he say he just told us to be prepared that was that's jameis it's probably for the best that jameis forgot what his trainer if it's the same trainer that's like hey uh go throw a wiffle ball into a little cross stick in a wind tunnel full of hummingbirds, it's probably for the best that you're not hanging on every word that guy's telling you.

Speaker 4 Hey, Jameis, I got this dog, and I'm going to whip you with a towel, and this dog's going to chase you around. Well, also,

Speaker 4 my wife over here, she's going to have some boxing gloves and try to punch you in the face. Yeah, see if you can get your pass-off.

Speaker 3 Jameis Winston trains like he's shooting trick shots with Brad Johnson.

Speaker 4 Yeah, he's part of Dude Perfect.

Speaker 3 Yeah, he is part of Dude Perfect.

Speaker 4 It's Dude Perfect without the shot. It's actually, it's softcore porn.
There's no insertion. You don't get to actually see the shot go in.

Speaker 4 You just get to see everything, all the weird shit in your backyard that makes the cool trick shot.

Speaker 3 Which is why we love James. He's kind of a spaz.
And when he was running, when he was running with the ball today, he runs like Forrest Gump, like straight, completely upright.

Speaker 3 He looks like he's shitting himself while sprinting at the same time. But he gets results.
And guess what? You can't argue with results. Five touchdowns.
Five touchdowns. Five touchdowns.

Speaker 3 On pace for 85 touchdowns.

Speaker 4 85 touchdowns.

Speaker 3 That would be a record. I'll have to check it in the official record books.

Speaker 4 Aaron Rodgers on pace for 34 interceptions and zero touchdowns.

Speaker 10 I got some bad news for you, big kids. What? You know what the team was last time to get beat 38-3 by the Saints?

Speaker 4 Who?

Speaker 10 Buccaneers.

Speaker 4 Week one? Then they won the Super Bowl. That wasn't week one.
It wasn't week one. Fake news.

Speaker 3 That was not week one. Fake news.
I remember we were watching in this room. The same score 38-3.
Okay. That was mid-season.
And also, Tom Brady had basically a torn MCL. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Aaron Rodgers is the healthiest he's ever been. Don't do this, dude.
The only wins I get is when the Packers lose. That's all I get.

Speaker 3 Don't do this. Also, don't do it.
I think that Sean Payton.

Speaker 3 Did you see Sean Payton try to mix it up with Taysom Hill today? I think

Speaker 3 what Sean Payton's trying to do with Taysom Hill is just time out when Jameis' weird plays are going to be. Yeah.

Speaker 3 And because there's no real rhyme or reason for when he's putting Taysom into the game, it's just like he gets a sense, like, Jameis is about to do something fucking stupid right now.

Speaker 3 I'm just going to put Taysom in there, and we just won't have a turnover on this play. Yes.

Speaker 3 Because if you can take, they always say, if you can eliminate the bad plays for Jameis Winston, I think that Sean Payne's just like riding that spidey sense.

Speaker 3 He's like, I think I can actually literally remove the bad plays from Jameis Winston.

Speaker 4 The Packers suck. Aaron Rodgers retired.
Whether you believe it or not, Packers fans, Aaron Rodgers has mentally retired from the Green Bay Packers. I saw it with my own two eyes.

Speaker 3 He's mentally retired.

Speaker 4 No chance does this come back and haunt me, this clip.

Speaker 4 It is so hot in here. We got to clap it up.
Clap it up. Also, so, like, we're actually, I'm looking at Hank.
I think he might pass out. I'm starting to feel lightheaded.
It is so hot in here.

Speaker 4 It's 1.24 in the morning. No big deal.

Speaker 3 I was just about to say, we're not recording this now

Speaker 3 this part, but it is 1.24. It's 1.24.

Speaker 4 All right, so here's what we're going to do. Clap it up for us.

Speaker 4 Clap it up for us. We also don't have water bottles.
We don't have water bottles.

Speaker 4 We're going to do some

Speaker 4 reminders.

Speaker 4 let's talk some college football on wednesday's show just briefly oh state they did punt from their uh opponents 33 and then lost to oregon and florida state and florida state with an all-time loss but jake remind us we'll do that for for brevity today and also i actually think one of us might pass out i am Really lightheaded.

Speaker 4 All right.

Speaker 4 Let's do Football Guy of the Week and then we'll finish up with who's backing.

Speaker 4 Billy, Football Guys of the Week.

Speaker 10 Our first football guy of the week nominee is Jack Cohen. Jack Cohen popped his finger out.

Speaker 4 Cohen?

Speaker 3 Jack Cohen. Jack Cohen.

Speaker 4 He was in. Sayville, New York.

Speaker 10 Long Island product.

Speaker 10 He popped his finger out, went, ran over to the sideline, popped it back in, ran back out, threw a touchdown. That's just grit.
Can't teach that.

Speaker 3 That's like an injury that you have to be around football for a while to be able to self-diagnose. Because I think any normal human would be like, My finger is like, I'm dead.

Speaker 3 My finger is extremely fractured. But if you've just seen other guys get it popped in, you can like mentally get past that.
I'd also like to point out: Hank took his shirt off. Hank's looking good.

Speaker 4 Dude, that woman trainer. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Hank, are we doing September? One beer a week?

Speaker 4 Look at how much sweat I have on my arms. Fuck.
All right, here we go. Football Kai Week 2.

Speaker 8 No, I'm doing sober September. Sober?

Speaker 8 yeah, or get pulled over.

Speaker 4 PFT said on the way to the car today, he goes,

Speaker 4 He was like, I went out in Hoboken on Saturday. He's like, That's probably the last time I drink on a Saturday in the football season in September.

Speaker 4 It's all one sentence.

Speaker 4 He was texting me.

Speaker 8 He's like, Come on, I was like, I think I'm trying not to drink all September. And he's like, I'm doing September starting at 7 p.m.

Speaker 4 tonight.

Speaker 4 But it was all as he was saying it, he realized what he was saying, and he's like, Wait, in September?

Speaker 3 Well, in September, I call it September because

Speaker 3 you take it easy. I'm going to have like a couple Friday drinks occasionally.

Speaker 8 It was just like a 30-second run-on sentence.

Speaker 4 Yeah, right.

Speaker 4 He just didn't stop. He just kept at it.
He kept on going, yeah. In September, on the weekends, specifically.

Speaker 4 Those Sundays. Yeah.
All right. Number two.

Speaker 10 Number two is Sean Elliott, the head coach of Georgia State. He was mobbing up with his players before the game, ripped a guy's helmet off, was just in the mosh pit with him all game.

Speaker 10 They did lose, but

Speaker 4 he was getting pumped up with his voice.

Speaker 10 Yeah, I mean, matter of respect.

Speaker 10 Next one, Robert Salah, running the

Speaker 10 whatchamac

Speaker 10 in the stadium before the game.

Speaker 4 Yep.

Speaker 4 Again, it's very hot. It's hot.
It's hot. It is hot.
It's 110 seconds.

Speaker 3 Are we sure his name's

Speaker 4 right? No, no, no.

Speaker 4 Go ahead. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Doesn't matter. I'm sorry for you from bringing it up.

Speaker 10 And then our last one.

Speaker 3 Is it

Speaker 4 every time I say Salay, that's also not the same?

Speaker 4 that's also not right.

Speaker 4 Salah. Soleil.
Salah or Sala. You guys keep telling me I'm wrong when I say Salay, so now the only other option is to say Salah.

Speaker 4 Sala. Say, okay.
No, it's the last one.

Speaker 3 Salah. Salah.
Salah.

Speaker 10 Last one.

Speaker 3 We've got Salah.

Speaker 4 Mane, Mane,

Speaker 4 and Robert Forminio.

Speaker 4 And we've got Cotinio.

Speaker 10 This one was highly submitted.

Speaker 10 I'm not entirely sure if this is a football guy move, but Will Hall, the head coach of the University of Southern Mississippi, said regarding his next game, I'm not excited. My life is on the line.

Speaker 10 I thought it might not be a football guy move to be excited about a game, but also it's a matter of life or death for him.

Speaker 4 So very, very also there was a

Speaker 4 baby born in the tunnel of the Southern Miss game this weekend. Oh, wow.

Speaker 4 Maybe not actually born, but I know that the water, the woman's water broke and like there was a big scene, and then she might have gotten to the hospital, but that's a football baby.

Speaker 3 I think, yeah, shout out to that mom for going. I guess Mississippi is really the only state that you would expect that.

Speaker 3 If

Speaker 3 you're nine months and two weeks pregnant, guess what? You're still going to be Klanga. Hell yeah.

Speaker 3 What about Chiano Man? Chiano Man has Rutgers at 2-0. 2-0.
Also... He took the name off the back of their jersey and then put a second name on the front, on the back.

Speaker 3 So everybody's name was Rutgers on the back. This was

Speaker 3 a a huge move by Shiana.

Speaker 4 Yeah. All right.
Good job, Billy.

Speaker 4 Yeah. All right, go vote on it.

Speaker 4 Also, shout out Daniel Ricardo, who won. We got to get him back on the show.
Did a shoey push-push for stopping.

Speaker 4 Won too, didn't he?

Speaker 4 Hamilton got in an accident, and that's F1. That's tough.

Speaker 8 Big week for Asa Martin.

Speaker 4 He didn't watch the second of it.

Speaker 3 Football's backs. What about he sent us a party shirt, right? Yep.
Daniel Ricardo sent us a party shirt.

Speaker 4 I'm not going to say where it's from. I don't don't want to ruin the allure.

Speaker 4 Urban Outfitters. I was a little disappointed.
Potshit. Yeah, I was just like, what is this? Maybe that's like his first ever party shirt.
I don't know. We have a party shirt, though, from him.

Speaker 4 All right, let's finish up. Yeah, I know.
It sucked. I was a little bummed out.
I was a little bummed out.

Speaker 3 Can you bleep that out?

Speaker 4 Hey, bleep it out. I don't want to ruin words for space.

Speaker 4 All right, let's finish up. We got Who's Back of the Week to End the Show.
By the way, Wednesday, Carmelo Anthony. You saw the book on the table.

Speaker 4 If you were watching, go subscribe to the podcast or subscribe to the YouTube. We're gonna get to 300,000.
PFT is gonna show us his awesome eyes. Subscribe-a-thon, sub-a-thon.

Speaker 4 Carmelo Anthony was an awesome, awesome interview. We had him for an hour, hour.
It was great. It wasn't that hot in here, too.

Speaker 4 Okay.

Speaker 5 Give it up for Chicago.

Speaker 12 Sebastian Menescalco's new stand-up special, It Ain't Right, is coming to Hulu on November 21st.

Speaker 5 30 years ago, Jeff Bezos, complete nerd. Bezos now ripped to shreds on his super yacht.
And the boxes keep coming.

Speaker 12 Sebastian Maniscalco, It Ain't Right. Premieres November 21st, streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney Plus for bundle subscribers.
Terms apply.

Speaker 4 Okay.

Speaker 8 Hey, my news back is Connor McGregor.

Speaker 4 Oh.

Speaker 8 He was at the VMA tonight in Brooklyn. So that's the important thing to note.
Something about Conor McGregor in the Barkley Center. It just gets him all hot and bothered.

Speaker 8 He got in a fight with Machine Gun Kelly.

Speaker 8 There's a video of him taking a full cup of Pepsi or drink and just throwing it at him, but in the process, hitting all the photographers and security people around him.

Speaker 8 No one knows what they were talking, you know, fighting about, but Conor McGregor's back talking shit, trying to fight Machine Gun Kelly at a VMA.

Speaker 3 Who wins in a fight, Machine Gun Kelly or Conor McGregor? Now, bear in mind, Machine Gun Kelly is a foot taller than Conor McGregor.

Speaker 4 But also, he's all skinnier than Conor McGregor. He's like less pounced.

Speaker 3 But he's all elbows. Yep.

Speaker 8 And reach does matter in these types of things. So I feel like probably MGK.

Speaker 3 Also, he's got Travis Barker on his back. So I feel like Travis Barker could absolutely whip some ass.

Speaker 4 And the idea that Megan Kelly might leave him.

Speaker 3 Fox. Megan Fox.
Fox. Megan Kelly, that would be a power combo.
Who's Megan Kelly?

Speaker 4 The Fox? Oh, that's confusing.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Well, no, she's

Speaker 4 Megan Kelly's the Fox. No, she's Megan Fox is Margo Robbie.
Now she's

Speaker 3 Megan NBC.

Speaker 4 And Megan Megan NBC.

Speaker 10 There were reports that Conor McGregor was asking for a photo, and then MGK said no, and that's what caused the whole thing.

Speaker 3 I feel like that's something that MGK's camp would put out. Yeah.

Speaker 3 I don't see Conor McGregor being like, hey, MGK, big fan.

Speaker 4 Or fan of Megan.

Speaker 3 Yeah, can I get a photo of Megan?

Speaker 3 Can I get a nude photo of Megan? Is what he was asking for.

Speaker 4 All right.

Speaker 4 PFT.

Speaker 3 All right, breaking news real quick. The Patriots are a perfect 13-0 against rookie quarterbacks at home.

Speaker 4 Hell yeah.

Speaker 3 I knew that sounded right.

Speaker 4 Also, Robert Griffin III still thinks that Jameis Winston crab jokes are funny.

Speaker 3 He's made several of those today. Yeah.

Speaker 4 They're not. He made one mistake.
Did you read the tweet? It's all time, folks. Yeah, he says, so after beating, this is from Robert Griffin III.

Speaker 4 After beating Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, Jameis Winston is now requesting strategy meetings with the Saints brass and demanding five crab legs, one for every touchdown he threw, but be placed in his locker every day for consumption since he ate a W.

Speaker 4 This is like your dad sending you a forward, forward, forward email. And they check this out.
Did you hear about Jameis Winston? He asked for crab legs from the Saints brass so he can eat a W.

Speaker 3 RG3 also said earlier that people are going to get mad at Jameis for proving the doubters wrong and playing lights out.

Speaker 3 Makes the fact that when he gets paid, he will be accused of stealing money that was earned and given to him like he was accused of stealing crab legs

Speaker 3 that were given to him because of his play at FSC.

Speaker 4 He really thinks this crab leg thing is the funniest thing ever.

Speaker 3 Really hammering it.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 4 All right, PFT, your who's back.

Speaker 3 My who's back is Sabermetrics. Stephen A.
Smith, he went on an I think there's a TikTok live, and he broke down how many takes he has given over the course of his career. Listen to Stephen A.

Speaker 3 Smith do sabermetrics on himself and the amount of takes that he's had.

Speaker 3 a week,

Speaker 3 over 3,000 takes a year.

Speaker 3 In the nine years that I've been on First Take, I've given over 33,000 takes.

Speaker 3 And what a lot of people don't realize is that not just the work that goes into that, but also the fact that it's a chemistry that you have and sometimes it should.

Speaker 3 So 33,000 takes.

Speaker 4 None of them have been the same.

Speaker 3 None of them have never talked about the same thing.

Speaker 4 They're like snowflakes.

Speaker 8 They've never talked about the same thing on these shows

Speaker 8 on multiple days.

Speaker 3 Just because

Speaker 3 Baker's dozen of those takes happen to involve him listing players that haven't played on that team for the last three years is irrelevant. It's immaterial to the discussion.

Speaker 3 And nothing changes the fact that Stephen A. Smith has given over 33,000 takes in his career.
Oh, my God. I love how many takes do you think? How many takes do you think we've given?

Speaker 3 I'd be shocked if it was.

Speaker 8 Well, how many per show?

Speaker 3 That's a good question. I think we'd give 20 to 50 takes per show.

Speaker 8 Multiplied by like 550-something.

Speaker 3 Let's say 100 takes a week.

Speaker 4 So, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 4 500 a year.

Speaker 4 No, we've given. I couldn't do math anyway.

Speaker 3 We've given over 3,000 takes on this show. 3,000? 3,000 takes on this show.
Sounds about right.

Speaker 4 More? More? Probably more. Probably more.

Speaker 3 But yeah, shout out to Stephen A. Smith doing live calculations of

Speaker 3 the amount of takes.

Speaker 4 Him laughing about the Cowboys.

Speaker 3 That's just the best.

Speaker 4 He's goaded for that.

Speaker 4 All right, my Who's Back of the Week is cuck fans are officially back because the NFL season just started. And I feel like NFL fans have a special cuckness to them, which is very, very funny.

Speaker 4 NBA fans do it, and it's kind of pathetic. NFL fans do it, and it's like, this is really bizarre.

Speaker 3 What do you mean, cuck fans?

Speaker 4 Fans that are saying coming in peace as a fan. So I saw this on Twitter.
This came from the Steelers Reddit.

Speaker 4 It came, so it reads: Ravens fan here. Here, I come in peace.
Who the hell do the Browns think they are? That fan base is so fucking

Speaker 4 toxic and think they run not only the division, but the league. As far as I'm concerned, as long as the both of us are in this division, it will always be ours.

Speaker 4 They have a good team for the first time in decades and think the league is theirs. No matter how much I hate you guys, if I'm going to war with one team by my side, it's the Steelers.

Speaker 4 Simply because of the great fights put up against us year in and year out. No matter how bad one of us are, at least Cincy fans know their place and remain somewhat humble.
Fuck Cleveland.

Speaker 4 Best of luck this year, unless you're playing us.

Speaker 3 That's sad behavior from a Ravens fan.

Speaker 4 I want to go to war with you guys.

Speaker 3 Honestly, that is pathetic behavior. Yeah.
If you're a Ravens fan.

Speaker 4 Unreal. Coming in peace.

Speaker 3 You know what? I would say at this point, the Browns live rent-free in that guy's head. Yep.

Speaker 4 That's rent-free for that behavior. I'd agree.

Speaker 3 The Coming in Peace is always funny. It's always funny.
Adnan Syed fan here coming in peace. I hope DeAndre Swift's okay.

Speaker 4 It's always, it's always, always good. Oh, my God.
All right. Billy, no Jake.

Speaker 9 Deep drive to left to make it a 4-0 ball games are back. Because that's exactly what Nick Castellanos did yesterday.

Speaker 3 What? What was yesterday?

Speaker 4 He hit a deep drive to left. I'm over it.

Speaker 8 I think people reach too. It's like, yeah, I'm so over it.

Speaker 8 He hit a home run on September 11th.

Speaker 4 Obviously, I don't know. They're playing games.
I thought it was cooler.

Speaker 9 Not cooler, but more ironic that he hit a deep drive to the left to make it a 4-0 ballgame.

Speaker 4 Oh, he did exactly that.

Speaker 4 Jake is so pure.

Speaker 4 I love it. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah. 9-11.

Speaker 4 No. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He did all those details.

Speaker 3 Same direction, same.

Speaker 4 How was he going,

Speaker 4 yeah? Okay.

Speaker 3 I do agree, though. It's kind of weird.
Like, every time there's a home run, people jump on Twitter and quick Google, Google, like,

Speaker 3 they search for what's the most recent tragedy of that.

Speaker 3 Like, I hope there was a mass shooting today, so I can

Speaker 3 take a screenshot of this Cassiano's tweet and put it next to the news.

Speaker 8 You're talking about no one in particular.

Speaker 4 No one in particular.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 4 He's going to eventually, like, unfortunately get to a point where he hits a home run and then someone has to go commit a murder just so that they can get it in the news.

Speaker 4 I wouldn't play fast me because

Speaker 4 he's like, fuck.

Speaker 3 I can't find it.

Speaker 4 He takes up the office. He's like, this is a tragedy.
Yeah, he's like, that happened.

Speaker 4 What is it? Nightcrawler? Yeah. Their Gellenhall movie? Yeah.
That's going to be me. Right.

Speaker 4 Fuck.

Speaker 9 The debate for Tennis Goat is back, though, because we still have a three-way tie because Jokovich.

Speaker 4 It's NFL Sunday. Yeah.
No one.

Speaker 4 What happened, bro? I don't know. I just saw some highlight of someone smashing your lap in years.

Speaker 4 He choking.

Speaker 4 Washington terrible. He choked.
He was losing three sets.

Speaker 8 He could have had the first Grand Slam in men's since the 60s.

Speaker 3 He fucking balled.

Speaker 4 Oh, so you're saying Federer's never done it.

Speaker 4 Nobody knows it. Good.

Speaker 8 Yeah, but exactly.

Speaker 3 Jokovich could have had it. Yeah, but Jokovich probably's sets are the straightest sets of them all.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Fact.

Speaker 4 You know what? He finished so fast.

Speaker 4 Not a patino joke.

Speaker 4 He was probably trying to watch the end of the Chiefs Browns game. That's a football guy.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 That's a fact. Jokovich loves football.

Speaker 4 He loves football. He loves Patrick Mahomes.
He'd actually probably be more Josh Allen.

Speaker 3 He's probably live tweeting. He's probably live tweeting in between sets.
Wow, the Chiefs really suck. Said no one ever.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 Thanks for coming out, Chiefs. Yeah, so Jake, I don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 3 He's a joke.

Speaker 4 You're a joke. He's a joke.
You're a joke. He's a joke.
You're a joke.

Speaker 8 He's a fucking joke.

Speaker 4 You're a joke.

Speaker 4 Oh, Hank almost won. No.

Speaker 3 All right, Big Cat won.

Speaker 4 You're a joke. You're a joke.
He's a joke. You're a joke.

Speaker 3 I'm like that ref in boxing.

Speaker 4 Billy, we're all punch drunk.

Speaker 4 You're a joke. I didn't say it.
I doubled it. Big Cat one.
That was That was

Speaker 4 your drink.

Speaker 3 No, because you waited so long to counter. Big Cat.
That's how much of a joke you are. That was a pin.
Big Cat just pinned you.

Speaker 4 Put it up. Three points.

Speaker 3 Also, count all those as individual takes given on this show.

Speaker 3 On who's a joke?

Speaker 4 Joke race being a joke. Yeah.
Yeah, no,

Speaker 4 that's another take. Nice try.
You're a joke. I knew what you were saying.
Joke.

Speaker 4 Billy. I think

Speaker 4 Billy has no idea what's going on.

Speaker 10 Who's back of the week is Handball. Handball is back.
If you haven't, go subscribe to our YouTube. If we get to 300k subscribers, PFT is going to be taking off his glasses.

Speaker 10 I went and played in a handball tournament just like to test it out because everyone talks shit about handball. I actually went and did it.

Speaker 10 The handball community actually gives me a little creds because I'm the only person to talk shit about it and then go do it.

Speaker 4 I don't care.

Speaker 4 That sounds pretty cool.

Speaker 4 Wow. Yeah, the handball community is pretty excellent.

Speaker 3 What do they both say? So to check it out,

Speaker 4 I'm going to stop talking shit now.

Speaker 10 On Tuesday.

Speaker 4 I've never talked shit about something that I have no intention of doing, but I can definitely beat an alligator in a fight.

Speaker 4 Alligators are kind of small. Okay, go ahead.
Keep going.

Speaker 3 But yeah, we're gonna be dropping the video.

Speaker 10 It'll be cool.

Speaker 4 Oh, that's not exactly. When did you tape this?

Speaker 10 I did it like before Grit Week, but like everything's been crazy and stuff, so we're finally getting it out.

Speaker 4 Got it.

Speaker 10 Shout out Nick Fasoli for doing it with me.

Speaker 4 Nice. When was it?

Speaker 4 Hopefully people like it Billy you let's we we give Billy shit, but he took time on a Saturday

Speaker 4 yeah he's fucking you can't crush these things. No, he went on a Saturday his own time.
He went and did it. He joined the handball community.
He asked before if he can go.

Speaker 4 I was like, fuck yeah, this is awesome. You should do it.
So initiative is great.

Speaker 4 I'm excited for the video. When's it come out? In a a couple months? Tuesday?

Speaker 10 I literally tried to learn how to edit videos.

Speaker 4 This is like Force Cump 2.

Speaker 3 I would have loved that.

Speaker 3 You should have made the video about you learning how to edit videos. It's so hard.
Shout out, all video editors. Shout out to all of you.

Speaker 4 Carmelo Anthony on Wednesday. We will touch on college football on Wednesday as well.

Speaker 4 I have some things I want to talk about, especially Ryan Day punting from Oregon's 33.

Yep. Five years.
Add it all up, 26k.

Speaker 4 Good math, Billy. Great.

Speaker 3 All right, give me a number eight.

Speaker 4 Do you have anything else, Billy? Any wrap-ups?

Speaker 10 The Jets kicker came in for their punter and had a 65-yard punt. It's pretty dope.

Speaker 10 Because the punter got hurt. Oh.
