Speaker 3 NFL playoffs.

Speaker 3 Super Divisional Round.

Speaker 3 Final Four sets.

Speaker 3 Oh, we start in the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field, where Cam

Speaker 3 Akers is the place to be as the Rams tried to plow their way in the run game.

Speaker 3 The pregame weather was snowing in Van Halen, as David Lee Goff told his teammates might as well jump, but it was the Packers players in the end zone Saturday.

Speaker 3 In a look ahead to next week's inauguration, Aaron Donald Trump refused to show up while Joseph Day was getting all the attention.

Speaker 3 The Dukes of Lazard are speeding towards the NFC championship as they've had a generally easy path to the Super Bowl. Packers 32.
Rams 18.

Speaker 3 In Western New York, Mama take these folding tables from me. I feel like I'm Dawson.
Knox, Knox, Knox in on heaven's door.

Speaker 3 Bill Maher Jackson had a vulgar performance on late night television that left some people wondering if he was actually all right.

Speaker 3 Josh Personality gave the Ravens defense the Diggs Myers test, throwing extra verts to his wide receiver.

Speaker 3 Tyrannosaurus Johnson used his tiny little hands to intercept a pass and outran Ref Goldblum and the entire Ravens offense for the win.

Speaker 3 And the Buffalo Bills are heading to the AFC Championship game as no one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills. The Bills 17, the Ravens, three.

Speaker 3 In Kansas City, where it was a tale of two quarterbacks with Virgin Mahomes and Chad Henney, Baker Mayfield had his receivers picking up all the cognac. And Richard, Higgin, and Juice played great.

Speaker 3 But after Mahomes took a nasty shot, the Chiefs just laid back and sipped on Chad Hennessy, stealing a third straight AFC Championship game at Arrowhead. I'm going to go off script here.

Speaker 3 We're going to go down the field to a woozy concuss, Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 3 Hey, guys,

Speaker 3 I think I counted back from. Give me a number to count back from 73.
All right, thank you, Patrick. Chiefs, 22, Brown 17.

Speaker 3 I love it, Coach. We don't laugh about concussions.
That wasn't a joke.

Speaker 3 I feel good. Coach Reed.
He'll be back. Gave me a big bear hug after the game.
He said, Patrick, you're my best good boy. And I said, thanks, Coach.
Love it.

Speaker 3 Standing on a color of Jameis Winston down in Nola. Such a fine sight to see.

Speaker 3 There's a QB loose and a CD deuce and a guy they call playoff Lenny.

Speaker 3 Come on, Drew.

Speaker 3 Don't look so blue.

Speaker 3 By the time you're on TV, your ribs will feel like new.

Speaker 3 Saints, don't go marching. Tom Brady, the Ageless Wonder.
God's the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 3020.

Speaker 3 All right, divisional round in the books. We have our championship Sunday set.

Speaker 3 Unbelievable matchups. We'll get to that.
It was, I think, the best two days of quarterbacks in the history of the NFL. Yeah, and the games actually kind of stung.
Who cares? Doesn't matter.

Speaker 3 Who cares? Doesn't matter. That wasn't a complaint.
Stanley. Who cares? That was.
No,

Speaker 3 you sounded like you were complaining. No, no, no.
That wasn't a complaint. I watched every second.
I loved every second. But wouldn't you agree that

Speaker 3 they weren't like, there was no instant classics, but it doesn't matter. It does not matter.
It was playoff football, and it was names. It was just, there were so many names that were out there.

Speaker 3 If you look at the quarterbacks, like the worst one has still won a Super Bowl, and then the second worst one was an MVP last year, and then you've got some all-time greats like Chad Henney.

Speaker 3 Yeah, Chad Henney. All right, so we're going to get to every game.
We'll start with the game we just watched. The Bucs and the Saints.

Speaker 3 Tom Brady versus Drew Brees. Both didn't look great, but Drew Brees clearly looked very washed.

Speaker 3 Now, I'm going to take the high road because I have been on the Drew Brees' wash train for two years now, and I've said that the Saints have a Super Bowl roster, and the only thing that's holding them back is Drew Brees.

Speaker 3 Oh, hey, Jameis Winston came in for one pass, touchdown, not a coincidence. Obviously, it was a trick play.
Whatever.

Speaker 3 Drew Brees is a legend. He's a Hall of Famer, what he's done for the city of New Orleans.
Like,

Speaker 3 as...

Speaker 3 Much as I want to be like, oh, I told everyone,

Speaker 3 I'm not because of Drew Brees. Like, it was sad.
There was a moment where it was kind of sad to see him go out because it was clear, like, he can't throw the ball over 15 yards.

Speaker 3 His mind is still there, but he doesn't have any of the physical abilities, and that cost the Saints the game. Yeah, like they, he, Drew Brees, unfortunately, lost them the game.

Speaker 3 Like, their defense was game. Drew Brees could keep them in it.
He could step in immediately and be a great offensive coordinator. Yeah.
As long as he doesn't have to do anything physical.

Speaker 3 He's like a Stephen Hawking type that you could just put out there. And he could, you're right.

Speaker 3 His brain is still like next level, but it almost makes it that much more cruel when you see his brain still being so sharp and his body is just like I can't make I'm gonna still try to do what's natural to me, but I he almost didn't really recognize his limitations that much at least over the course of the last like I don't know 10 12 weeks you squatted on a take which I appreciate because you were like a year

Speaker 3 No, but last year was the same thing. You were like a year and a half early on the take.
No, I actually don't think so.

Speaker 3 I think I was actually right on time because what I've said time and time again is Drew Brees, his mind is one of the best minds out there in terms of seeing defenses, reading defenses, doing all this stuff.

Speaker 3 When you put him in a regular season game and he's playing against

Speaker 3 a middle-of-the-pack to lesser defense, he will rip them up. Doesn't matter that he can't throw deep.

Speaker 3 When it gets to playoff football and you have to make those throws that are 20 yards down the field, 25 yards down the field, when you have to be able to hit those few home run balls that can actually change a playoff football game, he hasn't had it for two years.

Speaker 3 And that's just kind of been like what I've seen is the limitation for a really good roster and a really good team in the Saints.

Speaker 3 And you even see, like, Sean Payton trying to, you know, the Jameis Winston play was very indicative. It's like essentially, hey, we need to

Speaker 3 pull seven points out of our fucking ass. Here it is, Jameis Winston.
Like, there's a reason why Drew Brees wasn't throwing those deep bombs.

Speaker 3 There's a reason why Drew Brees couldn't push the ball down the field. And it sucks because he's a Hall of Famer.

Speaker 3 And again, I think that there's there, it's a very short list of guys who mean as much to a city as Drew Brees in New Orleans.

Speaker 3 Like that connection is something that's on a different level, and I totally understand it.

Speaker 3 And everything posts Katrina, so I'm not going to sit here and be like, you know, Drew Brees so fucking, like, he had a Hall of Fame career. It just, it doesn't end this way.

Speaker 3 You know, it's not, everyone's not L-Wade. Fucking Dan Reno lost 70-7 in his last game or some crazy 63-7.
Like, even Peyton won a Super Bowl, but we saw that with Peyton. Like, he wasn't the same.

Speaker 3 And Tom Brady, like, he wasn't extra sharp. He can still throw deep.
I actually think he can still make plays.

Speaker 3 I think that Drew Brees in his last game is better than Peyton Manning in the Super Bowl that they won. Yeah, probably right.
Drew Brees is still, like, he can still function and throw passes. Right.

Speaker 3 That Super Bowl was tough to watch with Peyton, but he just managed the game. I actually think that Peyton Manning's...

Speaker 3 head was so far ahead of the game that he was able to recognize the fact that his head was so far ahead of the game and was able to tell his body, hey, man, you can't do all the weird shit that you used to be able to do.

Speaker 3 But yeah, Drew Brees, I mean, he had a great run. It was sad when he was walking off the field.
He turned back, looked back at the field.

Speaker 3 You see how he took in the Superdome, checked out.

Speaker 3 Any extra ribs that he left there on the field, wanted to check and make sure he scooped everything up.

Speaker 3 And yeah, it was obvious that when Jameis was coming in the game, it's because Jameis can still fucking throw the air out of the football.

Speaker 3 And that ball, I think that one pass made Jameis Winston $25 million next year. I don't know about that much, but it definitely.

Speaker 3 Whoever comes in second with the Deshaun Watson jackpot, they're going to have to pony up some cash for Big J-Dog. Well, he should be on the Saints.
And like,

Speaker 3 I do actually think that if Jameis Winston plays that game, starts that game, like, obviously we've seen bad Jameis, but he gives them something totally different that they just don't have.

Speaker 3 Like, when every single pass is eight yards, it's a lot easier to defend you. And it actually, like, so Drew Brees clearly doesn't have the physical ability anymore.
It was, it was kind of sad to see.

Speaker 3 It also puts into perspective how absurd it is that Tom Brady is still doing it. He's fucking 43 years old and he didn't have his sharpest game, but he can still push the ball down.

Speaker 3 Like that pass he made to Godwin that Godwin caught and then dropped, like that was a dime down the field.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it also had another one that Gronk usually hangs on to. It's crazy that he's still doing this.
Like it's actually insane

Speaker 3 the fact that he is playing at this level and it's not prime. It's not like he's in his prime, but the fact that he's still playing

Speaker 3 playoff winning-level football is fucking crazy. You know how we talk about how Kirk Cousins looks smaller now as he gets older? I actually think Tom Brady looks taller.

Speaker 3 I don't know if he's lost weight and is skinnier, if his neck grew. By the way, all-time neck on Drew Brees.
Well, he's gotten emaciated recently.

Speaker 3 Do you think there's someone who's sitting there, some like draft guy who's like, told you Drew Brees short quarterbacks can't win after 20 years of Drew Brees breaking every record? Oh,

Speaker 3 I think it's probably. Because it is.
No, you you know who it is. It's Nick Saban being like, see, I was right to pass on Drew Brees.
I knew that his shoulder wouldn't hold up in the long term.

Speaker 3 That's why we took Dante Culpeper.

Speaker 3 So Drew Brees had,

Speaker 3 looking at his stats, it's crazy. Everyone knows all the records that he's set, but he led the league in passing seven years in his career.
He led the league in touchdowns

Speaker 3 four years,

Speaker 3 and he led the league in completion percentage six years. Like,

Speaker 3 he's a Hall of Famer, first battle Hall of Famer. That's not a hot take, obviously.

Speaker 3 It's crazy how good and long of a career was, especially considering the fact that he was

Speaker 3 cast off after his shoulder injury. Do you think, though, like,

Speaker 3 what's the vibe for Saints fan, when Saints fans, when they look back and they're like, we had Sean Payton and Drew Brees for 15 years and we won one Super Bowl?

Speaker 3 Can we get a vibe check on the state of New Orleans? I think they'll be happy. I think today they're happy, but in five years they're going to look back and be like, wait, we won one Super Bowl?

Speaker 3 No, here's why, because the Saints can always fall back on being like, we got fucked out of at least two other Super Bowls.

Speaker 3 They can claim the Super Bowl that the Rams went to on that pass interference call in their own head. They can be like, yeah, we should have made the Super Bowl and

Speaker 3 we would have scored more than 15 points against the.

Speaker 3 It was three to was it three to ten? Was that Super Bowl? Three to yeah, I had to whatever it was. 13-3.
Yeah, they, yeah.

Speaker 3 New Orleans could be like, we would have scored 15 points in that game and won the Super Bowl. So that's theirs.
And then they can always have the,

Speaker 3 there was the Minnesota miracle and be like, yeah, you know what? The Eagles ended up winning the Super Bowl over the pay. We would have won that too.

Speaker 3 So that's technically like three titles for New Orleans. It still doesn't count.
They had a lost year. Plus, they had a lost year.

Speaker 3 I'm just telling you, you can look back

Speaker 3 and you can talk away some of those years. They're not no way, big.
You're out of your mind if you think that New Orleans fans will look back and be like, man,

Speaker 3 that could have been a lot better. They are so pumped over.
Oh, I think that's not crazy at all. That's being a sports fan.

Speaker 3 To look back and be like, 15 years of Sean Payton and Drew Brees and we won one. Again, I'm not saying it's tomorrow.

Speaker 3 I'm not saying like this will be a celebration of Drew Brees in New Orleans, I would assume. But I would absolutely, if you asked the Saints fan, like, hey, that was incredible.
Awesome memories.

Speaker 3 But there's definitely a small part of you that's saying to yourself, shit, how do we only win one? That absolutely exists. That has to exist.
I mean, otherwise they're not real.

Speaker 3 That's a real sports thing. If you look at like millions of people, there are going to be some people that have that.

Speaker 3 But I'm just saying, like, the ability to look back and be like, the league fucked us out of three other Super Bowls is going to to be that's going to be a nice little salve that's going to be a nice little ice bath to ease themselves into Drew Brees heading off for the hills but at any rate you think his shoulder was hurt

Speaker 3 I mean I think that his shoulder is just permanently hurt now yeah his shoulder has definitely been hurt for a very long time yeah since 2000 was it 2006 well no but it's been very hurt the last couple years yeah yeah no it's been bad he he lost like all his arm strength in the last in the last couple years yeah and wasn't able to throw downfield but um let's not bury the lead here playoff lenny playoff lenny Came to play today.

Speaker 3 Fucking playoff Lenny. I hate playoff Lenny.
First of all, he stomped my football team last week when

Speaker 3 I was ecstatic that they were feeding him the ball all the time. I'm like, this is how you beat the Buccaneers if they keep giving Leonard Fournette the ball.

Speaker 3 And then this week, I put my biggest bet of the year in on the Bucs and then, or I mean, on the Saints, and then playoff Lenny stomps my heart out. Tough to beat a team three times, though.

Speaker 3 But they were matched up.

Speaker 3 They matched up well. They matched up better than I thought.
How do you not complete a single pass to Michael Thomas? Because he can't fucking throw. That's insane.

Speaker 3 Like, Michael Thomas isn't exactly...

Speaker 3 He's not exactly like a downfield threat. He's a guy.
If you can throw the ball 15 yards in the air, you should get the ball to Michael Thomas at least three times.

Speaker 3 I mean, Saints fans actually should be sitting here being like, hey, you know what would have been even worse is winning this game in a fluky like 20 to 17 and then having to watch Drew Brees in Lambo in 20 degrees.

Speaker 3 Because that would have been a disaster. Like you think this was bad? That would have been an outright disaster.
Because he, like, imagine getting his shoulder loose for that.

Speaker 3 But, yeah, playoff Lenny. So, Joe Buck, he told me earlier this week, he was like, they actually are calling him playoff Lenny because we gave him so much shit about playoff Damien last year.

Speaker 3 The big game against Washington last week called him playoff Lenny.

Speaker 3 And that's like last year with playoff Damien of the champion

Speaker 3 Kansas City Chiefs. There you go, big cat.
First down, Tampa Bay. And it's the dumbest nickname ever.
Playoff name is the dumbest nickname ever. But now we're two for two in playoff P.

Speaker 3 Yeah, right, exactly. Now we're two for two, though, in football where playoff Damien was truly playoff Damian.
And then playoff Lenny, I saw instead he's got six touchdowns in five games.

Speaker 3 I fucking hate playoff Lenny. Playoff Lenny is good.

Speaker 3 Every other time of year, playoff Lenny is when he regresses to regular season Lenny. He stinks.
And I'm so sure that he's going to go to a bad team.

Speaker 3 When he ends up going to a bad team, he's going to average like 1.3 yards per carry yeah it also the bucks defense they fucking hit hard like there were a lot of i mean the saints hit hard too but the bucks play a hard-hitting like swarm to the ball style of defense where there were a few times where i was like how the fuck did that guy get up because they attack you know whoever has the ball yeah and devin they make mistakes and they go after people devin white is a thick boy that that dude is big if you if that guy hits you and he was wearing the uh lsu shoulder pads underneath a a lot of players were doing that actually.

Speaker 3 I think like every player that went to LSU got together on their group chat and was like, hey, we're going to wear the purple and gold underneath our jerseys, and then it's going to show up on TV and people will be impressed.

Speaker 3 Consider me impressed. It always looks awesome in the dome.

Speaker 3 Yeah, he's a hitter. Devin Way is a hitter.

Speaker 3 The defensive line and Domican Sue, JPP, those guys are just big dudes that are fast.

Speaker 3 They don't even have Vita Vey. It honestly should be illegal to be as big as Domic and Sue and be able to run like that.
I also have a new most important player on on the Bucs guy. Scottie Miller?

Speaker 3 Yes. Yeah.
I mean,

Speaker 3 he did not.

Speaker 3 There's something about Scotty Miller. Like, they have unbelievable.
And Antonio Brown, I don't, so he hurt his knee. Did he ever come back in? I don't know.
He dropped one pass out of the backfield.

Speaker 3 And that's going to be something interesting to watch because I do, like, Antonio Brown clearly has a great rapport with Tom Brady.

Speaker 3 And, like, you need all the weapons you can have when you're going up to Lambeau and have to play against that Packers offense. But Scotty Miller, he is,

Speaker 3 he might be the most important player on the Bucs offense. Tom Brady always throw it out there.
You know the names, but Scotty Miller.

Speaker 3 Julian Edelman is watching the game, verbal meme, Leonardo DiCaprio pointing at the TV, holding the spear. Yes, yes.
He made that fucking huge catch. But yeah,

Speaker 3 it was a sloppy game. It was obviously just all about the turnovers that decided the game.
And Drew Brees

Speaker 3 out. He's going to retire.
He officially is retiring, right? Well,

Speaker 3 Jay Glazer said that he's retiring. And Jay Glazer doesn't get shit wrong.
Yeah. I mean, I think even

Speaker 3 everyone should just treat him like he's retiring without him even saying he's retiring so that he will retire. Yeah, because

Speaker 3 he might try. Yeah, right, that's going to be very painful.
Right. Do you think that his bust in the Hall of Fame is going to have his cool birthmark on it? It has to.
Yeah, unless Oprah does it.

Speaker 3 Has to. Do you remember? Have you seen that video? What? Where Drew Brees

Speaker 3 tried to scrape up. Oprah tried to wipe his birthmark off and was like, he got some lipstick on your face there, Drew.
Unbelievable. Yeah, no, he, I mean, first ballot Hall of Famer.

Speaker 3 And now we get to see Brady vs. Rodgers in Lambo.
So let's go back in time to Saturday. We'll talk Rams Packers.

Speaker 3 It's crazy that this is the first time that Aaron Rodgers is getting a home NFC championship. It is.
That's wild. There was a couple of surprising ones.

Speaker 3 The other one was the fact that the Chiefs are the

Speaker 3 three

Speaker 3 home AFC championship games, the first time that's happened in the AFC, which is like... It's like surely the Patriots'

Speaker 3 14 championship games. 14 is crazy.
All right, so Rams Packers.

Speaker 3 The Rams tried. They gave it their best effort.

Speaker 3 Aaron Rodgers is just playing.

Speaker 3 Aaron Rodgers wasn't even that sharp. He wasn't perfect, Aaron Rodgers, and their offense still

Speaker 3 is really, really good. He was still really good, Aaron Rodgers, and their offense had a few drops.
No, but he wasn't like. It could have been perfect.
Perfect.

Speaker 3 You know, when Aaron Rodgers is on fire and he essentially is like, you can't, there's nothing you can do because he's just

Speaker 3 putting it in perfect places. He wasn't that Aaron Rodgers, and they still won this this game pretty easily.
You know what it was?

Speaker 3 It was the fact that they found a way to make amazing offense kind of boring in Green Bay. Because you watch the Packers, and you're like, you can't stop them.

Speaker 3 They're going to be able to score points, but it's still kind of boring to watch them while they're functioning.

Speaker 3 Because if you try to just play your safeties deep, then Aaron Rodgers is like, okay, well, I'm going to get 12 yards every single time I pass the ball.

Speaker 3 Well, and also Aaron Jones was running the ball. Aaron Jones was a maniac.
He was running the ball really well. So everyone was calling Aaron Rodgers the surgeon because he was being very...

Speaker 3 That's That's what you say. If, like, that's an upgraded dink and dunker.

Speaker 3 That's like expert-level dink and dunking, where you have Devontae Adams just being able to get separation on a slant and get 14 yards anytime he wants. Yeah.

Speaker 3 So, it was, it was, it was a boring offense to watch, but it was a great offense. So, like, if you're coaching the team, if you're a fan of the team, you're like, yeah, we can't be stopped.

Speaker 3 Well, it's, it's, it's, I think it's

Speaker 3 indicative of like where we're at with football in 2021 is that you had the Rams' best defense coming in. Now, Aaron Donald was clearly hurt because I think he only played half the snaps.

Speaker 3 Jalen Ramsey wasn't playing his best. But even still, like at this point in time, it used to be the saying, like, you know, good defense trumps all.
Like, defense wins championship.

Speaker 3 That's not the case anymore. Good offense beats good defense in the NFL today.
You know what it is now?

Speaker 3 It's like a great defense that wins a championship is one that can still give up 30 points, but if you get one touchdown on defense, if you're able to get that one interception, jump that one route, it's like that's now what a great defense is.

Speaker 3 How about Sean McVay being such a genius that he somehow made Wildcat work again?

Speaker 3 Like it actually worked, and it was all runs again, but he ran Cam Akers in the Wildcat, and of course it worked. I don't know how he did it.
It makes no sense.

Speaker 3 The Wildcat has been dead since like the second week of the Wildcat, and somehow... Cam Akers running the Wildcat, they scored a touchdown off it.

Speaker 3 They did a few times, and it worked every time, and it was a run every time. They also had the sickest play ever, the little hook and ladder.
Yep. That was a two-point conversion, right?

Speaker 3 Yeah, that was an awesome play. Again, if you want to win at the next level, if you want to be like the next great offense, start doing more of those laterals.
They're awesome.

Speaker 3 And it's a perfect time to do it when you're down at like the five-yard line. Yes.
Because they never see it coming. And

Speaker 3 everyone's going to crash on that little screenplay. So yeah, Sean McVay, I think he did a good job considering what he had to work with.
But

Speaker 3 Jared played better than he did the week before. And I mean, his thumb is obviously fucked up.
What were you going going to say, Hank?

Speaker 3 Kind of an explain it to Hank, but is it hooking ladder or hook and lateral? Both. Me and Caleb were having an argument on this.
This is like shoveling.

Speaker 3 This is how people sometimes say shuffle pass when it's a shovel pass. Yeah, it depends on

Speaker 3 like that. Okay.
Cocaine. Yeah.
I didn't know if there was a definitive answer or not. I think it's just whatever you want to say.
Because the announcer said lateral, and I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Speaker 3 I think nobody really cares what you say because when you say it, it's right after a super exciting play. So no one ever stops to be like, yo, what'd you just call it?

Speaker 3 They're too busy being like, that was fucking sweet. Do you know what?

Speaker 3 So Aaron Rodgers, I hate the guy. Thanks for the $500,000, the barstool fund.
That was really cool. I think the thing that bothers me the most is that he's so goddamn good and he

Speaker 3 like smiles during it. He's just fucking hanging out.
He's hanging out, just dominating people in playoff games. He's actually, so now

Speaker 3 he's the second all-time for guys' playoff performances, 250-plus yards, and two touchdowns. Brady has 17 of those games.
Rodgers has 12. Montana has 12.
So

Speaker 3 he just does it, and he looks like he's walking in the park on a Sunday afternoon. Like, it's so fucking maddening.
I actually saw, I think Kevin Clark tweeted something about like that Aaron Rodgers,

Speaker 3 he's talked to guys that essentially say it's demoralizing to play against him because he'll have like a chit-chat conversation with you while he's beating your brains out.

Speaker 3 Yeah, the game is so slow for him.

Speaker 3 He'll be on offense, and he's like smiling, looking around, like cracking little sarcastic jokes before he snaps it's like it's like if he looks like he was playing poker and if if there were like 300 pound guys that were trying to hit you at the time and he's just like sitting there just like with a dry smile on his face not phased whatsoever i hate him nobody yeah nobody else operates at that same level and he's like i don't know it does seem like it's in slow motion because aaron rodgers always has at least like one or two times a game where he'll catch the other team having like too many men on the the field.

Speaker 3 It's illegal. And then I don't know what he does.
Does he tell his receivers to like hide between the linemen and the huddle so the other team can't see the personnel that they have on the field?

Speaker 3 Because he always catches them like that. And then there's always one straggler running off.
Everyone's confused. And then boom, he's able to throw for like a 40-yard touchdown.

Speaker 3 He almost juked out the all-22. I saw someone show the all-22 because the all-22

Speaker 3 shows the down and distance and then goes back to the field. And he had that quick pass where he juked out the all-22.
It's illegal. It's absolutely illegal.

Speaker 3 There were many times where I said the Packers, they were running plays that they might not have been illegal, but they felt illegal to me. And you know what?

Speaker 3 At the end of the day, it's about sportsmanship. And if something feels illegal, you should probably just throw a flag, refs.

Speaker 3 Like that fucking Devontae Adams touchdown when he ran across the field in motion, that felt illegal to me. Just throw a flag and try to, you know, maybe just call something.

Speaker 3 Let me ask you a question, Piquette. Would you rather beat the other team by running your best plays against their best plays? or would you rather be a little weasel? Yeah, right.
He's a weasel.

Speaker 3 He's a weasel.

Speaker 3 He's definitely, he has weaselish qualities about him.

Speaker 3 That Devontae Adams touchdown, that, so that was illegal because Devontae Adams took like a step towards the line of scrimmage as he was in motion.

Speaker 3 But it is kind of like an interesting hack that some offenses have figured out, which is you can actually have your guy get a running start on a play, like it's the CFL, if you just have them run directly across the field.

Speaker 3 Right. And it's pretty much impossible to guard them.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 So was Kevin Clark. He said that opposing players once told me the most frustrating thing about playing Rodgers is how much fun he has.

Speaker 3 You're in the fight of your life trying to slow him, and he's smiling like he's playing pickup hoops. They said it's incredibly demoralizing and makes everything slightly worse.

Speaker 3 Also, separately, Mason Foster told me once that Rodgers would talk Pac-12 football with him in between snaps. Like, that's...
It's fucking maddening. And I know he's incredible, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 3 That's what you're going to get out of me, Packers fans. He really is.
Like, he's playing at an incredible level.

Speaker 3 The fact that the Packers won this game in relative ease, like the Rams made it, you know, the seven-point game, but it was one of those situations where you just never really felt like the Packers were out of control.

Speaker 3 And Aaron Rodgers, I don't know, that was probably like a B-plus. Like, it wasn't...
He has an A-plus in him, and when he does an A-plus, it's literally impossible to stop him.

Speaker 3 So it's demoralizing for the opponent and demoralizing for me watching on the couch. And it's illegal.
Yeah. And it feels illegal.
And you know what?

Speaker 3 Him being this good, it takes away a lot of the credit from where the credit should be going, which is to that Packers' offensive line. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Because those guys are the ones that enable Aaron to play as well as he does. Yes.
So let's give some real...

Speaker 3 I would actually say that Aaron Rodgers played a C-minus game. But the offensive line played an A-plus.
They were really good.

Speaker 3 And Aaron Donald being hurt. And Leonard Floyd, like, that was Leonard Floyd, I remember, when he got just absolutely juked out of his shoes by Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 3 I don't know why the Rams, it felt like every time they went up tempo, they had a ton of success, and then they would kind of go back to not going up tempo.

Speaker 3 I guess that Rams, like the Rams season, and I don't know how many Rams fans there are out there, for you guys, for whoever I'm talking to, Jimmy,

Speaker 3 Robbie,

Speaker 3 St. Louis, that's a season.
A couple guys from St. Louis, Toby, you guys, the four of you.
That's actually a season where it's kind of a lost season because of all the injuries racking up.

Speaker 3 You lost to the Jets. Cooper Cup not playing, like Cooper Cup being out, the minute he was out, I think we all said to ourselves, well, that's a really fucking big deal.
Right after I bet on the Rams.

Speaker 3 And Aaron Donald being 50%. I don't know.
He was clearly hurt.

Speaker 3 His only memorable play was actually that when he got an unsportsmanlike conduct.

Speaker 3 So you still have one of the best coaches in the league. I think it's time to ask this question.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 If the Packers make it to the Super Bowl, if they win next week,

Speaker 3 is Matt LaFleur a better coach than Sean McVay? Matt LaFleur now, back-to-back NFC championship game. Yeah.

Speaker 3 I don't know. I think he might be because McVay got to that Super Bowl on the past interference call, laid an egg in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I know, Sean, you can remember every single play that you've ever been in in your entire life, so you probably would agree with me, Sean.

Speaker 3 But if LaFleur gets there, gets it two NFC championship games in a row, beats his old master on the way there, like I feel like Matt LaFleur, permission to do another verbal meme? Yeah.

Speaker 3 Not only Matt LaFleur, but Kyle Shanahan. So

Speaker 3 Splinter with the baby Ninja Turtles. Yes.
Splinter is Sean McVay.

Speaker 3 The baby Ninja Turtles are Kyle, Matt LaFleur, and then old-ass Splinter, probably with his shirt off, is now Sean McVay with LaFleur and Kyle carrying him off into a distance.

Speaker 3 I like that verbal meme. I agree with you.
I just mostly like that meme. Yeah,

Speaker 3 it's a great meme. It needs to be used more.

Speaker 3 It's criminally underused. Yes.
Wait, that's Mandalorian. Same thing.
This is the way.

Speaker 3 This is the way is Mandalorian.

Speaker 3 And guess what? The Packers, I fucking hate this, man. Like,

Speaker 3 yeah, we all laughed at them for not drafting a wide receiver and drafting a backup quarterback that's not even going to play this year.

Speaker 3 But turns out they have a fucking enough talent on wide receiver, okay? Whatever. Okay.
Robert Tanyan just showed up and decided to be the best tight end, not named Greg Kittle.

Speaker 3 And Marquez Valtez scandaling who will drop a big ball at some point is faster than everyone on the field. And Devontae Adams is incredible.
I get it, okay?

Speaker 3 It all just sucks because the Packers are just a well-run organization through and through, and they just do this. This is what they do.
And what do you think? So,

Speaker 3 like,

Speaker 3 we have a ton of time to talk about it, but knee-jerk reaction next Sunday, Tom Brady, Packers. The Balls are going to win.
Problem. Packers are going to win.
Yeah, probably.

Speaker 3 Packers are a wagon right now. And they're going to win.
It's going to be boring.

Speaker 3 They're still going to score 33 points. What, you're back on the tom? Yep.
You're on that tom?

Speaker 3 You want to play a game real quick?

Speaker 3 Always. What's the line? Oh, what is the line? Barstool Sportsbook app.
The line is up. Six minutes.
What is the line? What is the line? No, you're in silver. Come on.
No, you're in six. Come on.

Speaker 3 Hank, come on. Come on.
Come on. Take this to yourself.
So much disrespect for

Speaker 3 Tom Brady. So much.
Three and a half. Four.

Speaker 3 My book says three and a half. All right.

Speaker 3 Your book is Barstill Sportsbook app.

Speaker 3 I'm actually not looking at my

Speaker 3 book, I mean my brain.

Speaker 3 The Bucs. I actually kind of like the Bucs at four.
I do think the Packers are going to win. I think it's going to be a good game, though.
I still think that. It's going to be too cold for the Blacks.

Speaker 3 You can't trust your team. It's going to be too cold for you.
You can talk yourself up against every team playing the Packers, too. Yeah.
No, well, but I did it with the Rams. I knew deep down.

Speaker 3 You're telling him that you're too biased against Aaron Rodgers as you bet on Tom Brady? Yeah. I'm just saying for the people out there, you know, maybe take it with a grain of salt.
Four? Four.

Speaker 3 You don't think this is going to be a close game?

Speaker 3 I think the Bucks are going to win straight.

Speaker 3 I think it's money,

Speaker 3 Hank, that you think that big cat can't put aside his personal biases to give a genuine evaluation of the green bay packers

Speaker 3 you know who's gonna end up in the can't lose parlay though on sunday the green bay packers they can't lose they can't they can't it's literally all i have left it's the only thing i have left it's it's my you know break glass in case of emergency it's it's hiding it's hiding under the bed pulling out the gun case and you open it up million locks eye scan fucking fingerprints and then I open it up and it just says, put the Packers in the can't-lose parlay.

Speaker 3 That's it. That's all I got.
It's the best emotional hedge that you can do. I don't think that Tom Brady is going to be able to play in the cold.
It's going to be 24 degrees.

Speaker 3 It's going to be snowing probably, football weather. Tom is a California kid that plays in Florida.
Yeah, what's his record in cold? I don't think he can win a big game in the cold.

Speaker 3 There's going to be someone who makes that mistake, being like, warm weather Tom Brady going to the playoffs. He said he doesn't like playing cold.

Speaker 3 Three touchdowns against the Titans when it was like negative. I don't remember that.

Speaker 3 Hank, he's we're talking about playoffs. The rest of the team, though.
That was Mike Evans.

Speaker 3 All right.

Speaker 3 That's that game. Whatever.

Speaker 3 Rams fans, don't feel too bad. You got one of the best coaches in the league and Packers, whatever.

Speaker 3 Deal with Jean. You just said.

Speaker 3 You just talked about Mike Evans being like a warm weather guy, which he is. Yeah.
But every time I see the Bucs take the field, I always expect Deshaun Jackson to run like five routes. Yes.

Speaker 3 Like, okay, he'll get one touchdown. Yes.
All right, before we get to the next game, shit.

Speaker 8 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 8 Whether you order catering platters ahead from your local Boarshead retailer, or you create your own spread at home with Boarshead premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress your guests.

Speaker 8 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo-style chicken, paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy Munster cheese, are sure to score big and help me elevate my entertainment every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 8 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering.

Speaker 3 Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905. Ravens Bills.

Speaker 3 This one was one of those games that wasn't good, but boy, did it have dramatics. Yeah.

Speaker 3 It had a little bit of everything. Had a little bit of everything.

Speaker 3 The first half. Now, the wind was a factor.
I actually, someone reminded me of my take that the wind with no fans, with less than, you know, a full house, house, will be whipping more.

Speaker 3 I think we saw it, even though there were 7,000 Bills Mafia fans that sounded like 70,000. Well, I was very woke on the NFL reporting the attendance at Lambeau Field to be like 9,000.

Speaker 3 I was like, no, there are 30,000 people there. Easily.
In Buffalo, when they said that there were, what, 7,000? 6,700. There were 7,000.
They were just Buffalo fans. They were drunker.

Speaker 3 And they're louder. So, yes, that was, it was a home field advantage.
I do like to take that enough bodies will just stop the wind.

Speaker 3 But in Buffalo, as we discussed with the GI issues, the gastrointestinal stuff, they're all farting up there. So it probably makes up for a little bit of that.

Speaker 3 But Bills Mafia going to an AFC Championship game first time since 1994 when they played the Chiefs. So

Speaker 3 Jim Kelly beat Joe Montana. You're going to have another Josh Allen versus another future Hall of Famer and Patrick Mahomes, both Hall of Famers.

Speaker 3 But this game, so the first half was like a total rock fight, missed field goals. I'd never seen Justin Tucker, like it was weird.

Speaker 3 It felt like we broke through the matrix when we see Justin Tucker miss two kicks. In a row.
In a row. Doinkum.
Shout out to Buffalo Bills fans. Roan did a video.
Those guys are incredible.

Speaker 3 They basically go up to the screen and they push.

Speaker 3 They can make the field

Speaker 3 change directly. They swipe the screen.
They did it twice.

Speaker 3 Nobody has a bewildered face like Justin Tucker does after. Incredible.
He just stares up at the sky and he's like, he's talking to God. He's like, Father, why have you forsaken me?

Speaker 3 Yeah, like I'm nailing, you're nailing me to the crossbar now. That's what you're doing.
Yes, and then so the Bills, the Bills' defensive plan was incredible.

Speaker 3 Leslie Frazier, like the blitzing of Lamar Jackson, we'll get to Lamar and we'll get to the offensive line. Like the center, I don't know what he was doing.
That was crazy.

Speaker 3 He just snaps all over the place. I didn't understand at all what the Bills' offense was doing in the first half.
They did one design run play, two run plays total.

Speaker 3 Brian Dable, I think he forgot that he was trying to be a head coach, and at halftime, he figured out, oh, yeah, I'm actually interviewing for head coaching jobs. Maybe I should try to.

Speaker 3 Well, they had a new running back, which was part of the issue. But

Speaker 3 the rest was, you know what, we're going to go out there. We're going to play static smash mouth football.
In the win. We're going to try to pass the ball every single time.

Speaker 3 You saw it in the second half. They ran the ball.
Once they ran the ball, the offensive line started high-fiving each other afterwards. Like, do you know

Speaker 3 how bad that must suck to be an offensive lineman and just do nothing but pass blocks?

Speaker 3 It's actually my biggest

Speaker 3 critique on analytics, Twitter, and we love Warren Sharp, but people who are pass, pass, pass, it's more efficient. You forget the human element, like you just said.

Speaker 3 If you ask offensive linemen to just go backwards an entire game, eventually it's going to really suck and wear them down. They need to go forward.
Kyle Long used to say it all the time.

Speaker 3 Like going forward and punishing the guy who's been coming after me all game feels good. And it's important for the offensive line to have that feeling every few plays.

Speaker 3 The human body was meant to move forward, not backward. If you look at how we walk, there's a reason we don't walk around backwards.
It's true. It's true.

Speaker 3 So then the second half starts. The Bills' offense looks great with their drive.
The Ravens' offense looks great with their drive. And then you get the Lamar Jackson pick six, which

Speaker 3 the presence of mind to return that was incredible. Like, most guys just down that.
And the Bills' defense was insane. So that 101-yard run back

Speaker 3 basically essentially ended the game. Lamar's concussion really ended the game.

Speaker 3 But in a game that felt like it was a rock fight and whoever makes the big mistake, that was the big mistake and it was over. That interception, you're right.

Speaker 3 So when you usually catch that on like the one-yard line or one yard deep into the end zone, most guys they get out like five or six yards because the first instinct is to run with the ball once they catch it.

Speaker 3 But then once they get out a little bit, they usually give one glance behind themselves to look back at the goal goal line and be like ah i should have stayed in there yep because they're about to get tackled that teron johnson he he ran like don beebe was chasing me it was crazy he was like i'm gonna take this motherfucker to the house it was the best play maybe in the history of the buffalo bills postseason yeah

Speaker 3 um well yeah i mean i don't i mean there was that one pass to the fullback that josh allen threw last yes that was frank reich's comeback was pretty crazy that was also pretty it was it was yeah it was awesome to see though and yeah the entire game switched on that although i don't know why i never felt like the bills were really in jeopardy, and it's mostly because Lamar was so limited in what he could do.

Speaker 3 And he does need receivers. He needs help.
No, so all right.

Speaker 3 Lamar needs help. Here's my, yeah.
I still think Lamar Jackson is like a top 10 quarterback to have on your team.

Speaker 3 I would take him on my team unless I had actually probably like top seven or eight guys. So here's where I'm landing on Lamar.
And I've done a lot of thinking about it. And I want it on the record.

Speaker 3 Like,

Speaker 3 last year, I said the Ravens were frauds. They were frauds.
This year, I thought their defense was playing great.

Speaker 3 Their defense did play very well against Josh Allen and the Bills last on Saturday night. Like they kept him in the game.

Speaker 3 Their offense wasn't able to, you know, that one play essentially flipped the entire game.

Speaker 3 Lamar to me is, you're right. He needs receivers.
He probably needs some, you know, they had some offensive line injuries. I think the issue with Lamar is

Speaker 3 when he won the MVP and how good he was that year,

Speaker 3 everyone immediately jumped to like Lamar. He He is probably, if you want to say like one of the, he's probably the second best playmaker.
Like if you want to say playmaker,

Speaker 3 he's probably the second best behind Patrick Mahomes. But all-around quarterback, he is still limited as a thrower.

Speaker 3 And I think we all threw him in the camp of like, he's the type of quarterback like a Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers,

Speaker 3 you know, Tom Brady in his prime, who can elevate his entire team. I think he's more in the category of if you can put the right talent around him, he can win a Super Bowl with the right.

Speaker 3 Like, he needs the help. He needs, he needs

Speaker 3 some receivers. He needs some offensive line help.
He needs all that. Whereas when he won the MVP and how great he was, we thought, oh my God, this guy is incredible.
He can kind of do it all.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I also think he needs to be in a system that changes every single year. Like the offense, Greg Roman hasn't really changed his offense around that much from year to year.

Speaker 3 And yeah, he won the MVP in this offense last year and he excelled at it.

Speaker 3 But if you give coaches like an entire offseason to study that offense and learn exactly like the weaknesses they were exploding, they're going to be able to stop it at least a little bit better the next year.

Speaker 3 They're not going to be able to shut you down, but they're going to get incrementally better year after year. Greg needs to like go.

Speaker 3 He needs to take an ayahuasca trip every single summer and just be like, okay, I need to start thinking. I need to start asking myself the question that...

Speaker 3 the other defensive coordinators are asking themselves a year ahead of time so that I can adjust my offense for what they're going to be doing to me. Yes.

Speaker 3 Lamar,

Speaker 3 like,

Speaker 3 you know what really it comes down to is Bill Pulling ruined it for everyone. Because when he did the, he's a, he's a wide receiver, not a quarterback, it basically put everyone into their, their

Speaker 3 defined areas of like, this is what I think about Lamar. When in reality, Lamar is one of the best playmakers and also a limited passer.

Speaker 3 Like, it's okay to say those two things, but for some reason, it's not online. You know what I mean? Like, because it became, it was like, Lamar's not a quarterback.

Speaker 3 Then he wins MVP, and so everyone's like, oh, he's not a quarterback. That's fucking crazy.
I can't believe he said he wasn't a quarterback.

Speaker 3 Well, now he's back to somewhere in the middle where it's like he's a work in progress as a quarterback, but he's an unbelievable playmaker.

Speaker 3 I think anytime you talk about a black quarterback, there's going to be race components to it. And Bill Pollion planted like an entire flag.
And then now

Speaker 3 he's ruined it forever. Anytime you want to critique Lamar, then it becomes a race issue.
It devolves into being a race, which it shouldn't be.

Speaker 3 In fact, what we're here to do, we're here to break all that down. Let's just break all that down.
Bill Poland, it's like Bill Pollin tried to put everybody in a black and white category.

Speaker 3 That's not a racial comment, a black and white category of like, if you think that Lamar is bad in any way at throwing the football,

Speaker 3 then that can be construed as a race issue. It's crazy.
It's crazy. If you think the other way, it can go the opposite way.

Speaker 3 You can overpraise Lamar for being a great quarterback when sometimes he's not a great quarterback throwing the ball.

Speaker 3 And once he won that MVP, then I think the conversation was like, well, if you don't think that he's a completely finished product as a passing quarterback, then that's a race issue on you.

Speaker 3 And I don't think that it's that cut and dry about anything. No.
It never should be an issue. It never should.
It's like the what's the scale that they use for human sexuality, the Kinsey scale?

Speaker 3 Where it's like Bill Pauline is like the, I'm going to tuck my t-shirt into my pleated khakis every day, and I'm over here saying I'm 100% long.

Speaker 3 I've never even looked at a dude. That's how straight I am.

Speaker 3 I can't be in a room with a woman one-on-one because I'll fuck her. Yeah.
Listen, I was never afraid of girls even when I was three years old. Right.
And I met Leslie at the pool. That's Bill Poleon.

Speaker 3 But it's not like that. It's not like that at all.
No. Lamar is limited in some things.

Speaker 3 I think putting him up in Buffalo against that defense and the elements exploited his weaknesses, including his diarrhea, which I still think he had a little bit of the buttons.

Speaker 3 And what happened is when he wins the MVP, everyone who is on the other side of the spectrum with Lamar, who's essentially like Lamar's incredible.

Speaker 3 Lamar is one of the best quarterbacks in the league, like, no, he's not. He's one of the best playmakers.
He's still got a long way to go as an actual passer. Guess what, though?

Speaker 3 Josh Allen, a year ago, two years ago, like he had a long way to go as a passer. It happened for him.
He got a deep threat. He's gotten worlds better.
He is a legitimate, like, MVP candidate.

Speaker 3 It's, it's, it really is weird because Lamar won an MVP so early and he did deserve it and he was so fucking good that year that everyone was like well there it is case closed Lamar is the best but it's you watch it and you're like no there are throws that he can't make or throws that he misses that you need to be able to make to win a Super Bowl and winning Super Bowl is really hard I'm not saying like it's it's it also becomes this like

Speaker 3 well he's a bust because he's you know one and three in the playoff Playoff football is really fucking hard, but it's clear that he has work to do to get to the level of like

Speaker 3 this guy is now a real threat every year to win a Super Bowl just by what he does.

Speaker 3 Well said, big cat.

Speaker 3 And you know what? The Ravens are going to be an interesting spot because I think next year they have one last go at it, and then they're going to be in salary cape-hell.

Speaker 3 So it will be interesting to see. I really thought their defense was playing phenomenal.
Like, I did not think that they were, I thought they found themselves a little bit.

Speaker 3 They weren't what they were last year and that, you know, the fraudulent frontrunners. So I, you know, we'll see.

Speaker 3 It's got to suck to be a Ravens fan and watch that game, too, when you're right.

Speaker 3 Like, the Bills really did kind of have control, but it really was a rock fight that came down to who was going to make a huge error, and the Ravens made the huge error.

Speaker 3 Say something nice about the Ravens. Nobody wears a mask like John Harbaugh wears a mask.
Yes. He covers up his whole face.
You can't see anything. He's got the entire dome covered on that.
Now,

Speaker 3 let's go ahead. I was just going to say,

Speaker 3 I want to address what the Bills did for Lamar after he got knocked out of the game. So Bill's Mafia.
I love Bill's Mafia. We love you guys like none other.

Speaker 3 They started donating to Lamar Jackson's charity, I think, in increments of $8. I would hate to be able to do that.
Which is great. I would hate it.
But it's also a little bit emasculating.

Speaker 3 It's the most patriotic.

Speaker 3 We just beat you.

Speaker 3 Now we're going to donate a shitload of money to your charity so that not only will we send you home, but in a couple days, you're going to have to acknowledge us and thank us for beating you and then paying money to your charity.

Speaker 3 I don't know who's in charge of the the Chad Hinney Foundation, but they've got to be forecasting an incredible fiscal year right now. I would be so mad if I were Lomar.

Speaker 3 I mean, I would be happy that I was getting donations to my foundation, but deep down, I'd be like, God damn it. Yeah.
Also, shout out to Lake Erie for bringing a little bit of the snow. Yes.

Speaker 3 Lake of the year. Let's talk about the Bills real quick.
The Bills are a complete team. And I say that like, no, duh, but...
Their offense wasn't very, like, it wasn't great on Saturday night.

Speaker 3 It wasn't A-plus against the Colts. They're playing fucking awesome defense and they're winning.
Like whenever a team starts winning games in different ways, you're just looking and you're like, okay,

Speaker 3 they have everything. Like maybe you wish they had a little bit more of a running game, but they have everything.

Speaker 3 And it's crazy to me that the Bills, I never thought I'd be sitting here saying the Bills are in the AFC championship game and they haven't even come close to playing their best playoff game.

Speaker 3 Like they have not, they have not played their best playoff game. They have not played a complete game of football on both sides, these playoffs.

Speaker 3 So if they do it and they have it in them, watch the fuck out.

Speaker 3 There's part of me that

Speaker 3 I don't know what's going to happen with Mahomes in the concussion. I think he'll play.

Speaker 3 I might be getting way ahead of myself, PFT. There's part of me that thinks the Bills might fucking blow out the Chiefs.
If Patrick Mahomes doesn't play, I think that they will.

Speaker 3 I'm saying the Bills have

Speaker 3 the Bills have...

Speaker 3 If they put together their fulls. I'm saying if you're a Bills fan, 12 through 16, those bills can absolutely blow.
This is all awesome.

Speaker 3 We did the speech last week, but if you're a Bills fan, I don't know if you've been sober in two weeks. You shouldn't be.
Enjoy the ride. This is why you

Speaker 3 watch shitty teams. This is why you go through the lean years for this fucking run.

Speaker 3 But if you're also a Bills fan, in the back of your mind, you're saying, we haven't even begun to peak in the playoffs. Like, they haven't actually played a great, complete, full game of football.

Speaker 3 And I know they have it in them. Hank, you kind of looked at me like, you're crazy.

Speaker 3 Maybe I am. Maybe I'm a little crazy.
And guess what? They could come out and lay a dud. But I'm saying,

Speaker 3 I don't think a lot of people are telling themselves there's any possibility the Bills could blow out the Chiefs. I'm saying there is.
That world does exist. They have that in them.
Buffalo.

Speaker 3 They have that in them. That's it.
No. No.
They have that in them. Hank, you're wrong.
I'm sorry, they did.

Speaker 3 The way that they played in the second half of the season, those Bills can absolutely go out there

Speaker 3 and blow the Chiefs out. They didn't, like,

Speaker 3 their offense looked lost in the first half of the year. They won this game.
And those Chiefs,

Speaker 3 you saw those Chiefs this year, where they took their foot off the gas and got too cute with it.

Speaker 3 If that's the Chiefs team that matches up against the Bills team that we know exists somewhere inside there, it can absolutely be a blow-up.

Speaker 3 They also, I mean, they beat, they just played really good defense against two polar opposites in the Colts and the Ravens. And guess what?

Speaker 3 The Ravens and the Colts are the two best AFC defenses that are not named the Bills right now. Like, those teams play good defense and they beat them both.
I'm just saying, who knows?

Speaker 3 That's why they play the game. But if

Speaker 3 I wouldn't be shocked. That's all I'm saying.
I would not be shocked if the Bills dominated the AFC Championship. I wouldn't be like, oh my God, where did this come from?

Speaker 3 I really think they have that in them as a complete football team. One thing I love about Josh Allen is that even in a down performance, the quarter second after he releases a throw,

Speaker 3 if they can synthesize a drug that makes me feel the way I feel when that happens, I will spend all my money on it. It's an incredible feeling because that ball can go literally anywhere on the field.

Speaker 3 He can hit, if there's like a spray chart, Josh Allen could hit if he's like within 70 yards of the goal line. The ball could be going anywhere, and something awesome is very much liable to happen.

Speaker 3 And I don't know what it is about his deep balls, but they seem to get faster as they travel through the air.

Speaker 3 He can, I mean, there was what, Hurricane, he threw a fucking hurricane last night. Yeah.
It was a hurricane. Yeah, it was.
It was a literal hurricane. He was knifing balls.
Him against Mahomes.

Speaker 3 It's going to be like the strongest arm quarterback matchup ever. So excited.
Very excited.

Speaker 3 What's the line? What is the line? What is the line? Two and a half. Two and a half is right.
Two and a half for the Chiefs.

Speaker 3 Now, if Patrick Mahomes doesn't play, I feel like the Bills should be favored. Yes.
They'll be favored by probably two and a half.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. I mean, Chad Henney, though, he was fucking awesome.
He He was. Chad Henney was awesome.

Speaker 3 I also want to give a special shout out to Bill's Mafia because they reinvigorated my love of the signs that they show on the stands that have the network letters on them.

Speaker 3 When people make, like, an acrostic poem out of NBC or CBS or ESPN, I love the creativity. Like, somebody had one that said something like,

Speaker 3 nothing like...

Speaker 3 Blue cheese and Cole Beasley. It's going, watching a game in Buffalo is like going back in time to like 1998 Monday Night Raw.
Yeah. It's great.
It's amazing.

Speaker 3 I actually wouldn't be shocked if last night there was at least a handful of suck it to like suck it Lamar signs.

Speaker 3 There are definitely some like Looney Tunes crossover cartoons with with Bills like like Bugs Bunny Rock and Zubaz Pants. Taz.
I bet you there's a shitload of Buffalo Bills Taz merchandise out there.

Speaker 3 I've talked myself into the Bills, man.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Because they haven't played great.
They really haven't. Like they weren't dominating the Ravens.
And

Speaker 3 they didn't dominate the Colts. And maybe this is, you know, short-sighted me because maybe that's just they're not as complete of a team as I think.
But I think they have it in them.

Speaker 3 I think deep down, they look in the mirror. It's in there.
I think they're special. I think it's in there.
I think they're special. They really do.
I think it's in there.

Speaker 9 Stefan Diggs, Hot Mike Awareness.

Speaker 3 Yes,

Speaker 3 great catch. Great catch by you as well.
All right, before we get to the last game, 2020 is finally behind us, and we're looking ahead to 2021. What do you say?

Speaker 3 I was just going to say, Stephon Diggs might be the nicest person in the NFL. That relationship.
He's the nicest guy. It's the best.

Speaker 5 I'm not going back to college to be your friend. I'm going so I can get Uber One for students.
It saves you on Uber and Uber Eats.

Speaker 5 I'm there for $0 delivery fee on cheeseburgers, up to 10% off smoothies, and 6% Uber credits back on rides. Just to be clear, I'm there for savings, not whatever you think college is for.

Speaker 10 Get Uber One for students, a membership to save on Uber and Uber Eats. With deals this good, everyone wants to be a student.
Join for just $4.99 a month. Savings may vary.

Speaker 10 Eligibility and member terms apply.

Speaker 3 Okay.

Speaker 3 The last game. The Browns, the Chiefs.

Speaker 3 God damn it, was this depressing for the Browns because that's a winnable game. They had it.
That's a winnable game. And Kevin Stefansky, I do not understand why you punted.

Speaker 3 Yeah, the punt wasn't awful. I actually think the timeout was worse than the punt.
Well, they come together.

Speaker 3 So if they had three timeouts, I can understand punting. They had one one timeout.
They burned the extra timeout. They burned on a bad challenge.

Speaker 3 Then they burned their first time on a bad challenge, their second timeout on that last drive. So they have one timeout.

Speaker 3 There's no worse loss in football than punting to the opponent and never getting the ball back. It is the worst feeling to just sit there and be like, okay, they need a first down.
They got it.

Speaker 3 Game over. That's Chad Henney football.

Speaker 3 You don't want to see

Speaker 3 the game end with Chad Henney holding the ball in victory formation.

Speaker 3 That's got to be demoralized. Here's what I don't understand.
So I hated, this isn't a revisionist history. I hated the punt right when it happened.

Speaker 3 What I didn't understand was when they burned that second time out,

Speaker 3 we were sitting there watching. I said out loud, well, this has got to be four-down territory for the rest of the game for them.
They then start the, you know, first down, first and ten.

Speaker 3 They go run for no gain, pass, pass, punt. I don't understand why they didn't just say, hey, this is four-down territory.

Speaker 3 We have information that the Chiefs don't have because they don't know that we're going to go four downs. We know we're going to go four downs.

Speaker 3 let's fucking run the ball in second down catch them off guard like they they just ran it so

Speaker 3 regular and like it felt like it had no urgency they were doing a lot of wide runs so they were doing a lot of tosses and weird stuff like that that took forever

Speaker 3 yeah just get downhill run the damn ball and what's the way in in two first downs beats you anyway so if you go for it and you don't get it Like, the worst that can happen is the game's over, which happened anyway.

Speaker 3 Like, you, okay, they kick a field goal. Bucker already missed one.
Even if he hits it, you're only down eight and you still have some time left. I just, I hated that.

Speaker 3 I hated that, especially because that was such an incredible year for them.

Speaker 3 Kevin Stefanski is coach of the year consideration, probably coach of the year, and it felt like he turtled a little bit in that situation.

Speaker 3 Getting a Bills-Browns AFC championship game would have been everything. It would have been so amazing to watch those two fan bases.

Speaker 3 Like, the Bills should have, in solidarity, opened up half their stadium, like the Rose Bowl, to Browns fans, just to be like, hey, we get it. You guys have been there for a long time.

Speaker 3 I just want to see both those fan bases get to move on. But the Browns, you've got a lot to look forward to, I guess.
Baker was good. You've got Baker.
Baker was. He answered the critics.

Speaker 3 He was awesome to me. He answered the critics.
He got to the fucking dimes. Yes, he totally answered the critics.
They had some drops today, but

Speaker 3 he was really, really good. Kareem Hunt with a revenge game.

Speaker 3 I saw that going around.

Speaker 3 The revenge game. It's not a revenge game if you get cut from a team because you kicked a woman.
He's like, hey, you know what? It's not what a revenge game is.

Speaker 3 Fuck the Chiefs. They kicked me when I was down, so I'm coming back.
Wait, no, I probably shouldn't put it that way.

Speaker 3 Not a revenge game.

Speaker 3 So the big story coming out of this game, obviously, Baker was great, though.

Speaker 3 It was great to see Baker kind of have this season and then have that game where,

Speaker 3 you know, I think he had one interception, but he was throwing dimes around the field. He was making big plays.
He looked comfortable.

Speaker 3 That was the big question mark for the Browns, like, going forward. I didn't think it was a question mark, but obviously people did where last year he wasn't great.
It's like, is Baker our guy?

Speaker 3 Baker's your guy. Baker is your guy.
It's definitive as can be. Baker's your guy.
If you can get any type of defense around that offense, you guys are going to be really good next year.

Speaker 3 And I think the Browns led the league in just,

Speaker 3 I feel like every single one of their offensive linemen got hurt. Yeah, they're playing guys that I'm pretty sure one of the practices

Speaker 3 two weeks ago that they were bringing in. I saw one funny stat that was like, what's his name? Hants? Hans? Was that the guy that Blake Hance? Hants

Speaker 3 is, they listed all of his career stats, which were basically like two games played or whatever. And then playoff wins, one.
Joe Thomas, zero.

Speaker 3 That was tough. That was tough.
Joe Thomas,

Speaker 3 you have to give some love to the offensive line win stat. Yes.
I don't feel like that gets talked about enough because we do it with quarterbacks.

Speaker 3 We should start doing it with like left guards. Yes, I agree.
So the big story, though, coming out of this game, obviously, is Mahomes. He hurts his foot, his toe, and then he gets concussed.

Speaker 3 Now, our doctor, who is actually not here because he is.

Speaker 3 He has the Coco. Yeah, so Billy Football, who's not here, his tweet was, my not a doctor diagnosis.
I like that he just clarified he wasn't a doctor. People actually thought Billy might be a doctor.

Speaker 3 Well, I mean, his Twitter handle is like Billy Hot Takes. Yeah.
And then his name is Berserker Billy. No, Billy No Way, Jose.
Billy No Way, Jose.

Speaker 3 And then he's got a cartoon of the guy that stormed the Capitol as his avatar. And he's holding chickens in his avatar.

Speaker 3 So, my not a doctor diagnosis, Mahomes fell on the ball, knocking the wind out of him. His brain is fine, just shook up, will return when wind is back.
His brain is just shook up, not a concussion.

Speaker 3 Yeah, dude. Important distinction.

Speaker 3 He got the wind knocked out of him. I read that, and I read it out loud to you guys.
I was like, hey, guys, don't worry. I think Mahomes is coming back in the game.
Yeah. Billy was wrong about that.

Speaker 3 And don't worry about us. Billy contracted it from a sparring partner on Friday night after he had been around us.
We all tested negative today. Although,

Speaker 3 it would be very poetic if Billy killed us.

Speaker 3 If Billy was a dumbass. Well, we all just had that moment.
We all died. Hank and I were talking this morning, like, of course, this is how it's going to happen.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 Billy's a fucking asshole. Like, of course.
Of course. He's probably going to find the new strain.
He probably is going to go search for the new strain and kill us all.

Speaker 3 I think Mahomes will be fine. He's definitely going to keep his sample.
He's going to be like, I need to go. Yeah, he's going to

Speaker 3 fucking

Speaker 3 breed COVID in his body just in case. He's He's keeping that in the grit fridge for sure.
Yeah, he's definitely going to start a new pandemic in like two years. Once we figure it all out, you know.

Speaker 3 Oh,

Speaker 3 I can't believe you drank that body armor water. That was actually my saliva for the last three weeks.
Oh, fuck, dude. Did you just pet that chicken? Oh, shit, that's my COVID chicken.

Speaker 3 You shouldn't have done that.

Speaker 3 He's got 17 different types of diseases. I wanted to infect him with a billy strand of corona because it's built different.

Speaker 3 The doctors were like super impressed because it was bigger. The virus is bigger.
I'm trying to make a bioweapon in case I ever need it.

Speaker 3 All right. Hope you're better, bro.
Mahomes.

Speaker 3 Who cares?

Speaker 3 Mahomes. I think Mahomes will be fine.

Speaker 3 I don't think he's going to play. Okay, well, Andy Reid said that he's doing great.
Okay, well, in that case, looks like he's fine.

Speaker 3 But that's why he's going to play, though, PFT. Yes.
What do you mean?

Speaker 3 Oh, I know that Goodell, like, yes. He's going to play.
They're going to put two charts in front of Goodell. The doctors aren't stopping him from the future.
Right, exactly.

Speaker 3 He's not going to stop him.

Speaker 3 It'll be like, here's the future where you let Patrick Mahomes play in the AFC championship game. Just a picture, a Photoshop of Roger Goodell on a new ski-doo.
Right.

Speaker 3 Well, okay, yeah, I think I'll try to do that. But I don't know, man.
He looked really woozy getting up

Speaker 3 and getting walked off the field. One week, I don't have the stats in front of me, but look up how often a player gets a concussion and plays the next week.
Again, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 3 He's going to play. Like, they're already...

Speaker 3 I'm not saying it's right. What I'm saying is he's going to play.
Well, Andy Reid's already planting the seed. Andy Reid's like, hey, he's he's doing fine.
He's doing really great.

Speaker 3 The quote is actually, I just talked to him. He's doing good.

Speaker 3 But right now,

Speaker 3 we'll see how he is tomorrow. But right now, he's feeling good.

Speaker 3 And Andy Reid said he's doing great right now, which is real positive. Passed all the deals that he needs to pass.
So we'll see where it goes from here. They literally are, he could play tonight.

Speaker 3 Like, the way the Chiefs are talking, he's going to play. The NFL's concussion doctors have always said that they would have cleared JFK to re-enter the parade.
Yes.

Speaker 3 They would have been like, yeah, okay. Yeah, you're good to see him.
Just send him out there.

Speaker 3 Yeah, the crowd wants to see him. They're going nuts for him.
Put him back out there. So you take that back, right? I don't, I still think it's not as cut and dry as you think it is.

Speaker 3 He's going to play.

Speaker 3 There's no way the Chiefs are not. Patrick Mahomes is going to play.
Here's the reason. Unless Patrick Mahomes himself says, I don't want to play, which he could.
He could.

Speaker 3 He could, but if it's even 50-50 and Patrick Mahomes is like, I want to play, he's going to play. So Patrick Mahomes is probably going to want to play, even if he shouldn't play.
Correct.

Speaker 3 The only thing that's making me think maybe not is the Chiefs have so much invested in terms of the amount of money that they have to pay him. Nope.

Speaker 3 What are they paying him, like half a billion dollars? Flags fly forever.

Speaker 3 Nope. They don't want to end up being like Drew Brees.
I don't understand.

Speaker 3 And just have one championship. I think if they hadn't won last year, I'd be more on your side in saying that they're

Speaker 3 care to make it into the game. I would be shocked if he didn't play.
I'd be shocked. I will.
Actually, I don't think...

Speaker 3 Can we bet on this? I don't think so. Probably not.
Yeah. I think that the gaming commissions tend to frown on concussions.
So, Hank, we totally won't make a bet on this. Again, I'm not saying

Speaker 3 he should. I would like one of your historical jumpsuits.
Okay. I'm not saying it's right.
I'm not saying, like, hey,

Speaker 3 like, don't be a man, go play. I'm just saying, he's going to play.
I get your dog.

Speaker 3 All of it?

Speaker 3 I get your dog for a week.

Speaker 3 All of it?

Speaker 3 I get to have Normie in my apartment for a week.

Speaker 3 All right. Fuck.

Speaker 3 If he does not play. Deal.
Okay. All right.
I'm going to take so many hostage videos. I'm going to set up like an ISIS flag.
No one tells me that. Just hold him next to a newspaper.

Speaker 3 We'll keep this between us. Yes.
Yeah. Okay.
Don't, don't,

Speaker 3 do not tell Hank's girlfriend.

Speaker 3 All right. So, yeah, it was weird.
I mean, Chad Henney, the run,

Speaker 3 the run 3.0 now. That was incredible.
Like, the fact that he had those wheels. And then Andy Reid, like.
Swag Henny, please. Swagginy.
That's the difference right there between

Speaker 3 winning football and losing football. He knows that, why would I punt this back? Why would I do that when I have all these guys on the field that can get open and make one play? And I loved it.

Speaker 3 I loved it. And they did the fake out.
They did the fake out. So they faked out Tony Romo, too.
Tony Romo was like, ah, Jim, Jim, they got all the momentum, Jim.

Speaker 3 They're not going to run a play on this one, Jim. No way.
They're going to do a heartbeat. I wish you hadn't brought up his name.
He was soft. He was over the top.

Speaker 3 Oh, my God. I wish I loved anything as much as Tony Romo loves momentum in football game.

Speaker 3 Patrick Mahomes got concussed and they walked him off the field and Tony Romo was like, I feel a little momentum swing here.

Speaker 3 I think the momentum, yeah, yeah, the MVP, the best player in the NFL is now out of the game. So that probably has something to do with it.
Stop, stop just going crazy, Patrick or Tony Romo.

Speaker 3 That last play call that Andy Reid had where he let Chad Henney throw the ball, it's not like he was even trusting Chad Hinney that much.

Speaker 3 He was just trusting the rest of the team to get open and then Chad Henney to make probably the easiest throw that he's ever made in his life.

Speaker 3 That's part of going back, and I hate to go back to the punt. It did take nuts, though.
Yeah, no, it took nuts. Shout out to Andy Reid's nuts.
But when people were saying,

Speaker 3 oh, you know, you got to punt it back to Chad Henney. It's not Chad Henney.
It's the Kansas City Chiefs who have Travis Kelsey and Tyree Kill, and they have Andy Reid and Eric Bienemi calling plays.

Speaker 3 it's not just Chad Henney. You know what I mean? Like, it's not like, oh, we're just going to kick it back to Chad Henney.
He's going to flounder back there. And I know he threw that ridiculous.

Speaker 3 I loved it. That was such a like, fucking, I'm just throwing this.
It was like a Rex Grossman interception. But I still, you know, the Chiefs have so many fucking weapons.

Speaker 3 And that first drive by the Chiefs was like, oh, yeah, we forgot the Chiefs. Yeah, it's also just great to have a guy named Chad in the league.

Speaker 3 Anytime there's a Chad around thing, anything could happen on any given play. Chad is a guy that trusts himself a little bit too much, but it's fun to watch him fail sometimes.
Yes.

Speaker 3 And that's what that deep interception was.

Speaker 3 We should talk a little bit about the best rule in football.

Speaker 3 The fumble through the end zone touchback rule. Everyone says it's a bad rule.
Everyone says, actually, I think 99.9% of people who discuss it say that it's the worst rule in sports. I disagree.

Speaker 3 I think that it's not a bad rule. In fact, I think it's a good rule.
I like the rule. First of all, let me just throw this one out there.
It's chaotic, and I like chaos.

Speaker 3 I like anything that creates chaos. But besides that, it's the only rule that favors the defense at all.
We talked about it with the NCAA championship game.

Speaker 3 The way that the game's going, like every rule change is in favor of the offense. Correct.
Within five years, you'll be able to drive a car on the field if you play wide receiver.

Speaker 3 This is the one rule that on defense, it gives you like a little bit of, it's definitely an unfair rule. But it's the only unfair rule that's unfair in favor of the defense.

Speaker 3 And also, when you get into the end zone, weird shit happens in the end zone. If you're on offense, the rules are different.

Speaker 3 When it comes to what is a catch, when it comes to extending the ball for a touchdown, rules are different for an offensive player. For a defensive player, they should be different too.

Speaker 3 Like, if you fumble the ball through the end zone, why not have it favor... Now, I'm saying this even though I was betting and

Speaker 3 the Browns

Speaker 3 fumbled out of the end zone, it was absolutely not. He was like, fuck you, Browns.

Speaker 3 This is a lie. I think it was on a live stream.
But I was disappointed that it affected the the Browns, but character is who you are when no one's watching.

Speaker 3 Rico Bosco. Even though...
No, that was on my high school weightlifting room. No, you, Rico Bosco came up with it.
That was on my wall. Right, they stole from Rococo.
At my high school.

Speaker 3 And they stole it from Rico Bosco. Weightlifting room.
Right, and they stole from Rochester. Character.

Speaker 3 I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm going to assume that you're lying about this.

Speaker 3 But

Speaker 3 I'm still in favor of it, even when it inconveniences.

Speaker 3 I may disagree with what you say, sir, but I will defend to your death the right to say it. I like, that's why you think that pirate parlor should be back up

Speaker 3 the what parlor no I'm on gab now okay nice gab

Speaker 3 gabbing it yeah no I I love that it just makes everyone mad it's so funny because it's like we know the rule exists and guess what when you you I mean I've I've proposed that there should be little nets that you can throw a ball into but until that happens And this one was different than like the lunge where a guy takes a risk because this one, it was clear targeting, and that was what caused, like, the crown of the helmet was what caused the fumble.

Speaker 3 Yeah, that was bullshit. That should have been a penalty.
But I agree with you. What I'm saying does not, like, yes, that was absolutely a penalty.

Speaker 3 It's funny how, like, if you're a Browns player and you take a helmet and swing it at somebody, they call that all the time. But when somebody just hits you with theirs, they won't.
I agree.

Speaker 3 It just, it's chaos. And people get really, really mad.
And it's almost, it's the funniest part is like people get really, really mad. Like, it surprises them.
Yeah. We all know this is the rule.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 3 We all knew the minute it happened we're like oh fuck i do think it would be funny i in maybe this is the intermatchion in me but the offense should get to keep the ball but it should be third and 50 from the 50 third and goal from the 50.

Speaker 3 okay yeah i don't know that'd just be fun that'd be cool yeah just make it a real weird fucked up play right because most of the time we'll end up being a punt and they would get the the uh defense would end up getting the ball anyway but third just seeing third and goal from the 50 would just be so much fun how about this the defense gets the ball but instead of a touchback, it's snapped from the goal line.

Speaker 3 No, it snapped by the defense. It snapped five yards into the end zone is the line of scrimmage.
And if you don't get out, then it's the offensive ball on a reverse touchback on the 20.

Speaker 3 I like that too. Yeah.
I've never seen the ball snap from the end zone. Yeah.
That'd be cool as shit. Yeah, Lofsky would be a Hall of Famer.

Speaker 3 Jay Glazer. So the seeds are being sown here.
Sown?

Speaker 3 Sowed? Sowed? Sowed.

Speaker 3 Jay Glazer on Patrick Mahomes. The thought is he will be okay to play.
It was almost like he got choked out. Not so much a concussion, but still has to go through the protocol.

Speaker 3 He was trying to get himself back in the game. There's a lot of confidence.
He'll be ready to go next week.

Speaker 3 They are laying the groundwork. Patrick Mahomes didn't even...
They are...

Speaker 3 Actually, you know what? What's going to end up happening is Roger Goodell's just going to hire Billy Football to administer the concussion test.

Speaker 3 They'll be like, who was the first to say Patrick Mahomes didn't get concussed? He just got the wind knocked out of him. Oh, this guy, Berserker Billy.
Yeah. Hi, get him to Kansas City ASAP.

Speaker 3 Little pro tip, Roger, just say, like, give a press conference, be like, we've seen numerous reports. I've read a lot of reports out there that

Speaker 3 there wasn't actually a concussion. They are splitting hairs.
He's not choking. It does sound like they're saying, like,

Speaker 3 the difference between a chokehold and, like, a choke slam. Oh, my God.
So they're saying he got... He got guillotined is what they're saying.
Yeah. And that's what the issue was.

Speaker 3 This is so funny watching Jay like be like, listen, guys, it wasn't a concussion. He just got, it was like a, you know, you ever eat a fucking tortilla chip and it goes down the wrong pipe?

Speaker 3 That's essentially what happened to Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, he's fine.
Needs a glass of water. He's good to go.
I don't know if I'm going to trust a guy

Speaker 3 whose jaw goes into his shoulders to diagnose a neck injury. Jay, I love you, but I don't think you have a neck to injure.

Speaker 3 And Patrick Mahomes is tweeting.

Speaker 3 Oh, there you go.

Speaker 3 I'm telling you, this is...

Speaker 3 The NFL would never allow an AFC championship game to be played with with Chad fucking Henney. Come on.
What are the historical jumpsuits again? I want to make sure I get it. Shut up, Hank.

Speaker 3 I'm going to get your dog. I'm going to dress up in really embarrassing clothes.
Choked out is so funny to be like an obvious concussion we all watch. So, when we saw it, his head hit the ground.
Yep.

Speaker 3 And then, if there was a choke that was somehow applied to his neck in the middle of the rollover that the defender did, which, yeah,

Speaker 3 maybe you could say there was pressure put on the neck, but at the most, it lasted for a half second. At the most.

Speaker 3 Oh God, the NFL is so fucking funny.

Speaker 3 I bet you Goodell had like an emergency conference call the minute it happened. Like, all right, guys, what do we got? What do we got? And then some lackey piped in and was like,

Speaker 3 we can see he got choked out. Good.
Get it to Glazer. Let's fucking go.
Everyone get to work. He got choked out.

Speaker 3 No league like it, baby. Love it.
Oh, man. He's going to play.
He's probably going to fucking torch the Bills. God damn it.
Not coming back. No, the Bills have their best game in them.

Speaker 3 They're going to win. I love the Buffalo Bills.
All right. Let's get to

Speaker 3 some coaching carousel talk. Before we do that, PFT.

Speaker 1 What's up, guys? It's Big Cat here making my Irish entrance with proper number 12 Irish whiskey. How do you make an Irish entrance, you ask?

Speaker 1 It starts with a shot of proper number 12 Irish whiskey because real friends don't let friends Irish exit a party without a story to tell.

Speaker 1 Original proper number 12 is rich in a smooth blend of golden grain and single malt. Age four years in bourbon barrels.
Mix it up with some ginger ale for a classic and refreshing proper ginger.

Speaker 1 In the mood for something smooth but a little sweeter, try proper Irish apple, a delicious blend of proper's award-winning Irish whiskey with crisp, fresh notes of apple.

Speaker 1 So get out there and make your Irish entrance. Anything else just wouldn't be proper.

Speaker 3 Okay,

Speaker 3 let's talk a little coaching carousel. Let's talk a little football guy of the week.
And then we'll do some who's back of the week. So

Speaker 3 Urban Meyer was hired. Urban Meyer.
I'm ready for this. This is me growing as a man.

Speaker 3 I'm going to say that Urban Meyer won't be an abject failure. Now.

Speaker 3 What does that mean?

Speaker 3 I think Urban Meyer will get the Jags to

Speaker 3 a

Speaker 3 AFC championship game. Okay.
Well, yeah, that would be... That's a strong.
That's a strong Blake Borderline. I think he

Speaker 3 I don't know if he'll last more than five years. That feels like a long time, doesn't it? For Irbmeyer? Oh, yeah.
I mean, five months would be.

Speaker 3 I was thinking about it more. You know, I still don't.
I don't really know how. Like, if I were the Jags, I wouldn't have hired him.
But now that it's done, they have a ton of draft capital.

Speaker 3 They basically have a roster that he can mold himself.

Speaker 3 They have Trevor Lawrence. He's got all the connections with the local police departments down there in northern Florida that he can get people out of trouble for.
Yep.

Speaker 3 He's making a bet on will Trevor Lawrence be a very good professional football player? And I am down on that bet. Like I think he will.

Speaker 3 So I would, it would be foolish for me to say Urban Meyer is going to suck if Trevor, if I think Trevor Lawrence is going to be good.

Speaker 3 That's a very hard walk to do to be like, Trevor Lawrence can be awesome. Urban Meyer is going to suck.
So I'm going to make fun of him when he decides to quit out of the blue.

Speaker 3 He may have a new contract with his family that he's put into place. I made fun of all the people who told me that he was never coaching again after he said that.

Speaker 3 You know, he was done coaching two years ago because the guy will just keep coming back for more. But I do think he will have success and because I believe in Trevor Lawrence.

Speaker 3 Really, that's it's more of a I believe in Trevor Lawrence.

Speaker 3 I'm very much looking forward to his first apology because nobody apologizes for things like Urban Meyer does because he's a big time, I'm sorry that you're asking me to apologize.

Speaker 3 That's like his statement that he'll release whenever he needs to say I'm sorry for something.

Speaker 3 I'm also very much looking forward to Urban Meyer trying to figure out how to navigate a system where he isn't Mr. Urban Meyer end-all be-all of everything

Speaker 3 because he still doesn't have like personnel say.

Speaker 3 At the end of the day, that's going to come down to the cons, the shots

Speaker 3 who own the team. They've got a bigger boat than he does probably.

Speaker 3 Urban Meyer is going to have to learn how to be second banana. I don't think that's in his system.

Speaker 3 Urban Meyer, I don't think he'll last longer than three years in the NFL.

Speaker 3 I think it's three and a half. Three and a half is the over-under.
Yeah, well, you got to put like quarter year, like three years and five weeks.

Speaker 3 Three years and then after a primetime loss to the Falcons. Right.
And it's going to be great to watch Urban Meyer interact with other coaches. That will be funny.

Speaker 3 Because he'll be hoping for the respect that he was getting as a college coach. Right.
Where he's like multiple championship winner Urban Meyer.

Speaker 3 He is good friends with Bill Belichick, I think, but I don't think anyone else is going to be like, hey, Urban, you're the best. Yes.
He's never coached in the pros. So

Speaker 3 it just makes football more interesting, though. Urban Meyer being in the pros definitely adds a little something interesting.

Speaker 3 Brian Dable just got ⁇ or sorry, not Brian Dable. Brandon Staley got hired by the Chargers.
We thought it was going to be Brian Dable, but it was ⁇ I guess they're going the defense route.

Speaker 3 He doesn't have to move across the country.

Speaker 3 I like that hire just because I just assume if you work for Sean McVay and Sean McVay plucked you out, that you probably have the brains to do it.

Speaker 3 What are they going to do on the offensive side? Who cares? You're going to have to fuck it. Hire Brian Dable.
I was going to say Schottenheimer.

Speaker 3 Get Schottenheimer down there. Yeah.
I mean, he won. It's funny because the Seahawks fired him because Pete Carroll was like, we need to re-establish the run.
And someone is going to take the blame.

Speaker 3 I'm going to be establishing the fuck out of the run now that I don't have an offensive coordinator who tries to tell me to let Russ cook all the time. So

Speaker 3 if you want to get Herbert throwing the ball more often, which I don't know if that's even going to be possible, he's the guy that you want down there.

Speaker 3 So they might go that route. But yeah, I don't mind going with a defensive guy when everybody else goes off.
Yeah, a little zig and zag. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Because eventually the guy that zags is going to be right. Yes, I agree.
And then Dan Campbell, maybe Dantalica, maybe the Lions head coach, which will be hilarious because

Speaker 3 Dantalica,

Speaker 3 greatest power stance of all time.

Speaker 3 Kind of, like, we made fun of him as the interim head coach. By all accounts, everyone loves him and says he's like a phenomenal locker room guy, coaching coach.

Speaker 3 But there is something funny about the fact that Dan Tallica will 100%

Speaker 3 do the Oklahoma drill, which is what Matt Patricia did his first day as the Lions head coach. Yeah, so Dan Campbell, he is the world's biggest Metallica fan.

Speaker 3 When he took over as interim head coach in Miami, it was Miami, right? Yeah. He had all the players put on black jerseys because he fucking loves Metallica.
And they blasted Metallica at practice.

Speaker 3 He would like get into shoving matches with his players during practice.

Speaker 3 They built the entire plane out of the interim head coach. I'm excited to see what happens because they're going with a mindset of like, we tried hiring a rocket scientist.

Speaker 3 Now we're going to hire the guy that kicked his ass in high school. Yeah, the meat head.
And Dan Tallica is a meat head, and I fucking love him for it.

Speaker 3 And then the Texans. Oh, I guess Robert Sala to the Jets.
I got nothing on that. Seems like a good hire.
That might be the Zag hire.

Speaker 3 That seems like a really good hire.

Speaker 3 So

Speaker 3 that does seem like,

Speaker 3 and it's funny because he has to say that he likes Sam Garnold. Yeah.
We'll see how long that lasts. Yeah.
He has to say it. You have to say it.
He's your only quarterback.

Speaker 3 Yes, you can't say otherwise, but he's probably going to try to trade for him immediately.

Speaker 3 Robert Seller also has one of the greatest holdback guys in all of sports. So I hope he's bringing that dude with him because that guy had a radar lock on his belt up to San Francisco.

Speaker 3 He's the same thing with Brian Staley. Like, if you worked for Kyle Shanahan or Sean McVay, I just assume that you probably have some smarts to you.
Yes. Yeah.
That's just kind of.

Speaker 3 Put Robert Sala in the Ninja Turtle meme. He's also another guy that surpassed McVay.
And then the Houston Texans, who have had probably the worst week of any of the NFL teams.

Speaker 3 That's including teams that lost in the playoffs.

Speaker 3 Deshaun Watson definitely wants out. I read an article.
They essentially got hijacked by

Speaker 3 Chaplin.

Speaker 3 Jack Easterby, he went into the office and made McNair, Cal McNair, pray with him. They pray for

Speaker 3 to find a good head coach. Yes.
It's crazy.

Speaker 3 It made me feel a little bit better about how dysfunctional the Bears are, the fact that the Texans are being... They essentially, like,

Speaker 3 the owner got...

Speaker 3 got duped by a guy who's like reading palms being like hey here's what our future tells us this makes me i should coach yeah it makes me jack easterby feel awesome about rooting for a franchise whose owner is so clearly aligned with Satan that he would never bring a dude in to like pray to God.

Speaker 3 It's crazy. It is nuts.
So Jack Easterby is essentially making the McNair family pray with him for his own success. It's crazy.
And then guess what?

Speaker 3 If you fire Jack Easterby after that prayer, you're spitting on God. Yep.
Congratulations. You get whatever bad thing.
You fired God. You fired God.
You can't do that. I'm Jack Easterby.

Speaker 3 You don't fire God. Holy shit.
I mean, what a shit show. Credit to Jack Easterby.
Yeah. Like, this dude sounds like he's a little rasputin-type guy.

Speaker 3 He's got a little bit of a hammer cock. And then I read

Speaker 3 an article about the Eagles who are going to have

Speaker 3 to hire someone, and it all kind of made sense because Howie Roseman has a fat head of Carson Wentz in his office. That's got to be an interesting interview.

Speaker 3 It essentially was like, he essentially has just been like, yeah, Carson Wentz is the best quarterback of all time, even though he hasn't won a play. He's played like six snaps in the playoffs.

Speaker 3 There was one line in it that was like, howie roseman treats carson went to he won that super bowl yeah it's like well that's a problem yeah so so they chose him i i heard that josh mcdaniels was interviewing like all day today in philly in philly that it's that must be a strange thing to walk in sit down there's a fat head of carson went

Speaker 3 and the owner goes uh so what would your plans be for our offense next what do you think about the quarterback situation uh uh

Speaker 3 Josh McDaniels is probably if the interview lasted so long he's probably put a chloroform rag in their face and then has been like trying to laser off all the Carson Wentz tattoos off of Hallie Roseman.

Speaker 3 He's like, hey, so Josh, you've, you know,

Speaker 3 worked a lot in offensive football.

Speaker 3 How good do you think you can make Carson Wentz? Now, mind you, he is already incredible. But, yeah, talk to me about that.
How many more Super Bowls do you think you could get Carson Wentz?

Speaker 3 Cars Wentz already has one Super Bowl. You think he had three? He'd probably be elite if he, like, he pretty much won an MVP.

Speaker 3 So how many more do you think he could put in his trophy today it was crazy question wish is probably in the interview yes he's probably sitting he's probably sitting behind yeah josh mutenos yeah like wrong answer i don't want to run that play god oh man dysfunction every all right let's do football guy of the week oh what are you saying i was gonna say going back real quick to the texans thing yeah stay very woke because isn't like nick casero he's their new gm yes i feel like the texans are just hiring as many people as they can well that was part of it too they hired so many people that just work in the front office, then you can't blame me, Jack Easterby.

Speaker 3 Well, they also hired a search firm for their GM,

Speaker 3 and then Nick Casario wasn't, like, the search firm didn't interview Nick Casario. Jack Easterby just went and hired him.
Yeah. It's crazy.
So I've been hijacked. It's fucking crazy.

Speaker 3 The Casario thing seems like a big-time Belichick Ernie Adams operation where it's like, we're going to send Casario down there, and then he's going to trade us to Sean Watson for like a fifth round pick.

Speaker 3 Right, right, right. And then he'll come back in two years when he fails.
Yep, yes. Okay, let's do football guy of the week, and then we will wrap up with who's back of the week.

Speaker 3 Jake, Football Guy of the Week, via Billy? Via Billy. Okay.
Yes, right.

Speaker 9 Billy is doing a good job with this. First up,

Speaker 9 I guess former/slash current Chiefs player Lauren DuRenay Tardiff, who I believe is sitting out due to COVID. Dr.
Tardiff?

Speaker 3 Yes.

Speaker 9 He was lifting in the snow while on the front lines with first responders.

Speaker 3 Ooh, okay. Okay, staying in football guy shape.
Yes.

Speaker 9 Greg Roman from the Ravens, bringing the perfect buzz concoction up to the booth. He had the dip up in the booth.
NBC caught it.

Speaker 3 This is Billy. Yeah, it's Billy just being like, oh,

Speaker 3 Chilly in the background. He's going to do his job.
Yeah, football guy. Wow, he dips.
I do like the bench pressing out on the front lines.

Speaker 3 This is right when

Speaker 3 I figured Billy had a good first football guy of the week, and then it would just start to trail off.

Speaker 9 Wade Phillips, who tweeted, I am ready to retire from retirement. I am ready and available.

Speaker 3 Let's win.

Speaker 3 Okay, so the guy asked me for a job. And for the record,

Speaker 3 I would hire him. He is ruined for a while.

Speaker 3 Okay.

Speaker 9 And then lastly, Cole Beasley, who said, when I had to watch week 17, it tore me up. I told him there was no way I was watching another game.

Speaker 9 The pain I felt watching that game mentally was worse than any pain I was going to feel physically.

Speaker 3 Yeah, okay. It's not bad.
Let's get halfway there. All right.
Good job, Billy. It's just like if Billy,

Speaker 3 if Billy wrote a book about himself, like a fantasy book of like Billy succeeding at the highest levels of athletics that he wanted to. Yep.
He would include all these little anecdotes

Speaker 3 that he does. He also just didn't have enough and then was watching football on Saturday.
He did ask me that guy dipping?

Speaker 9 He did ask me for a few. So I just cleared hashtag football guy and sent him like four.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 3 All right. Before we get to who's back of the week,

Speaker 3 are you protecting yourself, BFT?

Speaker 2 All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars. One made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.

Speaker 3 Each.

Speaker 3 Okay, let's wrap up. We got who's back of the week? Hank.

Speaker 3 Got a couple. First one, Max Holloway.
He won a fight on Saturday night. On ABC, yeah.
On ABC, he was talking shit to Dana White mid-fight while throwing combinations.

Speaker 3 It was like one of the cockiest fighter moves ever seen. It's cool to see.

Speaker 3 Somehow, not as cocky as the other time that he fought when he was giving the guy instructions during the fight while beating his ass. I thought, I mean, this was crazy.

Speaker 3 He was literally like, he was like, he was no look punching. Yeah.
Essentially.

Speaker 3 He would go nuts if Patrick Mahomes did that. Right, exactly.
Miley who's back the week is James Harbor. He's a hooker does it and no one says anything.
Yeah, and Max Hollywood never get choked out.

Speaker 3 And McGregor's fighting this week, so just big week. I believe they said that he got choked out.
Big week for the UFC. He choked out from the back of his neck.
Oh, my God.

Speaker 3 It was a glancing blow to his neck. Unbelievable.

Speaker 3 It's actually his shoulder, not his neck at all. And James Harden's back had a triple-double in his first game with the Nets.
Looks skinny as shit. And it's old.
Oh, my God.

Speaker 3 Now, I saw this, and people were roasting it, and I was shocked as well.

Speaker 3 Well, so he was very fat, like three days,

Speaker 3 and then he was very skinny.

Speaker 3 I can understand it. It happens.

Speaker 3 Water weight, not to that extent. He was just wearing, it was really just, if the red is not a slimming color, because if you wear,

Speaker 3 it's like, oh, that's a Kool-Aid, man. Yeah,

Speaker 3 if you wear a shirt that's too tight.

Speaker 3 Things can look really, really bad. So it was so funny, though.
It was so fucking funny. The fact that he's on the nets now, that's going to be fun to watch.
It's great.

Speaker 3 And, I mean, I do have a couple theories about him. One was that he was wearing some sort of like vest, some sort of weight bearing.

Speaker 3 It's layers, dude. He had like nine wife beaters on underneath his jersey.
That's actually a possibility. Remember, that might have happened.
Remember the NLCS 2015 when I got fucking roasted? Layers.

Speaker 3 And I was like, dude, it's layers. And people like, dude, what are you talking about? Layers.
Like, I was wearing 17 shirts. That can happen.
So I'm in on that.

Speaker 3 So the other theory I have is that he's got a a twin brother.

Speaker 3 I think he just might have a fat twin and he was like, hey, I need to get out of Houston. You mind stepping in my uniform and absolutely suck.
Like, go out there and try your hardest. Yeah.

Speaker 3 And it'll look like I really, really suck. It's also, he can do, he can deceptively change how people see him because he's got the beard.

Speaker 3 Like, you can always tell when someone's had a rough weekend from their face. You can't tell with James Harden's face.
Yeah. So if he sticks his gut out a little bit, like, I bet you if

Speaker 3 he had a shaved beard, I bet you we wouldn't be thinking like, oh my God, he lost all that weight. He probably looks about the same.

Speaker 3 Whatever happened, like the black shirt between four weeks ago and today,

Speaker 3 there's something, like he might have just drank a shitload of that diarrhea tea. He might also just like, as someone whose body...

Speaker 3 Reacts poorly to carbohydrates. Like if I go two days without eating carbs, I do look five pounds lighter.
Do you think that easy?

Speaker 3 Do you think that maybe if it is the twin theory, that was his twin in the playoff game that came out there that one really weird time? Mostly new drugs.

Speaker 3 I think that he's got just like a fat slob of a twin brother that he just puts in for himself. Like the copy of the copy from multiplicity.
He's like, when I need to really fuck something up.

Speaker 3 Played like it, yeah. I'll call this guy.
Yeah. Such a funny.
I mean, the whole we win. We win.
Yes. The viewers win.
All right. Who's your who's back, PFT?

Speaker 3 My who's back of the week is Deshaun Watson Photoshops. Every team has him.
Every team. So I don't care who you are, unless you're like...
Again, the Bears were the first.

Speaker 3 Unless you're one of the top five quarterback-led teams in the NFL, there's a Deshaun Watson Photoshop. And there probably is.
Actually, those are the ones I haven't seen.

Speaker 3 I haven't seen a Chiefs one yet. I haven't seen a Bills one yet.
I haven't seen a Packers one yet. I would like to see those franchises get involved in the sweepstakes because the Photoshops

Speaker 3 they make me feel alive. It's great looking at a Photoshop of a player in a jersey that's not the current one that he's wearing because it's like, hey, this could be new.
This is cool.

Speaker 3 This could be changed. This is different.
But I fucking love the Deshaun Watson Photoshop. I hope that he chooses where he goes based strictly on which Photoshop

Speaker 3 is the best. Yeah.
Give him everything. My other who's back of the week is horny Darren Revelle.
Actually, no, I'm going to put him as our podcast baby brawn of the week. Oh, my God.

Speaker 3 Baby Revelle is our baby brawn of the week.

Speaker 3 He put up this Instagram story on Friday, I believe. It's a picture of him as a three-year-old with his arm around a three-year-old girl, and he just looks like a pimp.

Speaker 3 I'm just going to call it as I see it. Darren is a fucking fucking pimp in this picture.
He says, older throwback, January 1982. I was three.
I always loved girls. Never thought they were disgusting.

Speaker 3 This was my friend Leslie at the pool at Woodmont Country Club in Tarmac, Florida. I need help finding her to catch up.
Guessing she's 45 now. So, Leslie, if you're out there.

Speaker 3 God damn it, man. This could be a nice love connection, a nice sleepless in Seattle moment.
Leslie, you remember that three-year-old that just rocked your world from the pool?

Speaker 3 Because he thought you didn't have cooties, yeah. The guy who didn't even need to wear floaties in the shallow end, uh, that guy is on the prowl right now.

Speaker 3 It's and he is a sports business reporter, as if you needed another reason to get back with him, sports gambling reporter. Oh, excuse me, yeah, really good at that.
A lot of uh cards. Um,

Speaker 3 I

Speaker 3 he's just

Speaker 3 this actually is

Speaker 3 I would throw this in the uh

Speaker 3 like positive for Ravel because he, so Ravel does, no, hear me out, hear me out. Ravel does things that are so fucking stupid and annoying that you're like, this guy can't be real.

Speaker 3 And then he does something like this and you're like, oh, he really isn't real. Because he thinks that was normal.
And he's like, he doesn't think what he was doing was creepy.

Speaker 3 So it almost helps him in a backwards way because you're like, okay, his brain is broken. You know what I mean? Like if he...
Like, it's not his fault? Right, it's not his fault. It's not.

Speaker 3 And he says every now and then where it's like, you know what? Hand up. That was even for you, Darren, that was so ridiculous and stupid and out of control that, and you defended it.

Speaker 3 So now I can't even be mad at you because it's so crazy. It's crazy in a way that is, it makes it a legally sound setup for if he ever has to plead insanity.
He can point back to this. I was stalking.

Speaker 3 And then they're like, yeah, he's like, hey, well, Your Honor, may I submit exhibit A?

Speaker 3 And it's just a picture of Darren Revelle trying to get with a girl that he thinks aged well from the age of three. Right.

Speaker 3 He's like, she was hot for your honor, you have to admit, for a three-year-old, when I was a three-year-old, and

Speaker 3 mind you, I liked girls even back then. So not afraid of them.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 It's just, you know what I mean, though, when he does this, and then he doubles down and he defends it when everyone's like, hey, man, that's kind of weird.

Speaker 3 It actually makes me be like, okay, let's lay off Ravel because it's like, it's such a lost cause.

Speaker 3 You can't even explain this.

Speaker 3 You kind of sound like a beta, right? You sound like a guy that thought girls were disgusting. No, I honestly sound like a guy who's just giving up on like, I'm so exhausted by him.

Speaker 3 His personality is I wouldn't be here without him. True.
It's true. He's just an exhausting.
For a guy I don't have any real interaction with, he's an exhausting personality.

Speaker 3 Imagine being Leslie right now.

Speaker 3 If you see,

Speaker 3 if you get a phone call from Darren Revelle and he's like, hey, hey, Leslie, you probably already know this from the sound of my voice, but it's me, Darren, from the kiddie pool. Remember me?

Speaker 3 I was three. Wasn't afraid to talk to you.
Oh, my God.

Speaker 3 What would they even talk about? She would freely divorce her husband immediately and get taken on a wild ride by the D-Man.

Speaker 3 He's the worst.

Speaker 3 My who's back of the week is

Speaker 3 well, I have a goatee, so goateees are back officially.

Speaker 3 I feel like I should be driving a Miata.

Speaker 3 You're a Braves relief pitcher from 1997. Not paying child support.
Yeah. That's the vibe I feel right now.
You can make all those things happen. I could.
I could buy a Miata

Speaker 3 and be out of my son's life if I wanted to.

Speaker 3 This goatee sticks together.

Speaker 3 The Van Dyke is your first step on that road.

Speaker 3 Feels good. All right, Jake, end us with the who's back.

Speaker 9 Average Joes, because Mike LaFleur was hired by the Jets. So everyone's on Twitter is making the same joke about

Speaker 3 Mike LaFleur, Adam LaFleur, and Peter LaFleur from Dodgeball. Oh, God.
Got it. Oh, we didn't even say Arthur Smith got hired by the fellows.
Oh, yeah. They got two Arthurs.
Dude, he's got no neck.

Speaker 3 No neck. He looks like.
They found the best picture of him, and it was the worst picture I've ever seen. He looks like fat Nicholas Cage.
It's great. It's fucking great.

Speaker 3 It's a wonderful hire, I think, because no, no neck is definitely a good hire. Who knows?

Speaker 3 If your football coach has no neck, that's a good hire. And his dad is richer than Arthur Blaine.
Yeah, his crazy. His dad can boss around his boss, which is.

Speaker 9 I met Matt LaFleur, not Adam.

Speaker 3 No, that's okay. We got it.
It was a mistake. A huge mistake.
I corrected myself. Well, but I mean, you know what? This is what happens.

Speaker 3 Billy doesn't show up one one time, and then Jake just lets everything you guys are too comfortable, Jake. Kind of ruined the show.
It was a great show up until this point.

Speaker 3 That's why we had Billy around, was to make you feel like he could take your job at any second. All right, 100.

Speaker 3 18.

Speaker 3 8.

Speaker 3 I hope we get it without 9.

Speaker 3 Bim has 21. What'd you guys guess? 8, 8, 8.
18, 21.

Speaker 3 47. God damn it.

Speaker 3 A snooze can sleep for three years at a time. Wait, let me just check Uber Facts real quick.
Wait, yeah, yeah. No, I just googled animal facts and that came up.

Speaker 3 Did you know that squirrels actually, when they have nuts in their mouth? It would take a swarm of about 1.1 million mosquitoes sucking at the same time to drain all the blood from an adult human.

Speaker 3 Wait, let me do one. Let me do one.
Let's all do one stupid animal facts. Animal facts.

Speaker 3 A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes.

Speaker 3 The African elephant is the largest living land-dwelling animal. A bat can eat up to 1,000 insects.

Speaker 3 Oh, wait, hang on. These are pretty good.

Speaker 9 A snail can sleep for three years at a time.

Speaker 3 Yeah, save him. We got a whole sick.
Just don't tell him where he is. Polar bears have black skin and see-through fur.
Love you guys.
