Divisional round on deck. Super divisional round football.
Super divisional round. So excited.
We're going to get to all of it. We first, though, have to talk about this league, the big trade in the NBA, James Harden going to the Brooklyn Nets.
I have already contacted James Harden. He has not contacted me back, but I told him I would go halfsies on him for a gym membership in Brooklyn.
The old eat your way out of town officially worked. I'm so glad that it did, too.
And, James, I'll go halfsies on a Subway card with you. We can make this work.
With sandwiches? Yeah. Yeah sandwiches yeah yeah or the the subway both both yeah i'm talking about the sandwiches but yeah we can we can split the commute he seems more like a like a uber guy like he doesn't he doesn't want to do the two block walk to the subway system but he looks awesome his vertical leap right now is about 12 inches um i'm i'm that it worked.
I'm glad that he's joining

the Nets, the only team that

could possibly match his

level of dysfunction before he got there.

And now it's just going to get fucking crazy.

It's also so perfect that the Nets

did this because the Nets,

essentially, when you look back at the history of the Nets,

it's going to be just going for it

and then mortgaging the entire future

for the going for it. They did it, obviously, when they traded for KG, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce and traded every single pick.
And that's why the Celtics had every single first round pick for what felt like a decade. Now we're in a new decade and the Houston Rockets are going to have every single Nets pick for a decade.
And we're going to be sitting here in like seven years when Kevin Durant's already retired being like oh who does the 10 win Nets has their pick oh yeah the Rockets again yeah I'm glad that they're doing it though like and it's a little bit different from when they did it with the Celtics because no these guys are in the prime of their prime maybe of course not James Harden right now but get back he's going to play his way back and maybe not Kyrie because he's not playing yeah that's true what do you think about this nickname for James Harden the Brooklyn fridge oh I like that I like that too William Perry I like bring that back do some of those he's probably as big as like a kegerator now in terms of his he's a mini a pony keg yeah he's a pony keg he's I hope more players do this because this is going to be a roadmap you talk about a blueprint this is a blueprint for how to get anything that you want in the world is just get fat get as fat as i've been trying it for a long time i hope deshaun watson gets fat as shit eats his way out of houston do you think i hope arch manning forces a trade in a couple years by putting on so much weight he looks like jared lorenzen at the time did you see my theory do you think this has anything to do with the houston astros have now cursed officially cursed the city of houston because james harden and now deshaun watson both want out of town james harden gets his way out of town deshaun watson to be determined whether he eats his way out of town but it all goes back to the houston astros and their cheating scandal and yesterday the day that james harden did get traded was the one year anniversary of aj hinch getting fired shit yeah i i don't see mind i don't see any loophole in that plan at all. So you're cursed.
You're officially cursed, Houston. Hope you enjoyed your one World Series.
Yeah. I'll go with it.
I'll go with it. Right when the spin rate started to pick up down there, that's when everything went off kilter.
So the question is, now, the winners and losers of this trade, I feel like, well, I guess it's one of those trades you just never know because it's going to be, like, if the Nets win a title, they won the trade. But if they don't, like, this was a huge, colossal mistake for them.
The Rockets, actually, I will say are a winner just because James Harden was going to eat himself to 300 pounds, was not going to try. Some of his passes and effort in the last couple weeks was so funny and so disrespectful that they got anything for him, and they got a lot.
They got a lot of picks. Ended up being kind of a win, and they got Victor Oladipo because the Pacers and the Cavs got in on a little trade.
I love when two teams just show up in its little trade action. They're just showing up for the menage a trois.
They're like, here, let me just suck on this real quick. That's what the NBA always does.
There's always four teams involved in any trade, and you can never keep track of what happened. But it makes it great because you do get to have the debate down the line.
You can be like, there's a possibility five years from now we could say, you know what, the Indiana Pacers actually won that trade. Yeah.
Do you know what? The Cavs did because Jared Allen and Andre Drummond, they went back to like 90s basketball and no one could stop them. You know who really won that trade was Junior's Cheesecake in Brooklyn.
Yes. Buy some stock.
That was better than the Barstool Fund hitting them. Yes.
It was James Harden getting traded. I do feel a little bit slighted that we didn't get to see how far James Harden would push it down in Houston, though.
Because I'm sure you saw the same clip that I did that Rosillo put out there, where he almost threw the ball into the backcourt because he just didn't care how much it was passed. But I wanted to see how much fatter he could have gotten.
I wanted to see how many more egregious turnovers he could have. I wanted to see Boogie Cousins punch him in the face.
I wanted all these things to happen. But we did get to see, we got like two solid weeks of fat harding in Houston.
And that's a blessing. Yeah, when Boogie Cousins is like, yo, you're being really disrespectful.
Maybe you got to check yourself. The Nets now become must-watch.
They were already kind of must-watch. But they have no, I don't know what they're going to do on defense.
They're going to score 150 points points a game and I'm so excited to watch that Hank are you worried at all because it feels like if Kyrie Irving ever returns to playing basketball by the way just an aside it's just so funny that the Nets like Kevin Durant is by far in a way the most like reasonable same guy on that team like just he is the voice of on that team. Never thought you'd see the day, but that is absolutely what it is.
It is his team, and it is him. Everyone's got to listen to him.
What are your thoughts? They're unstoppable offensively. I don't think – what makes you think Kyrie Irving is ever going to come back to this planet? He's going to, because they got James Harden.
That was what I said on the Celtics. He's a big three.
When he was on the Celtics, that was always like the, Oh, well, he's going to come back to this planet. He's going to, because they got James Harden.
That was what I said on the Celtics. I always...
When he was on the Celtics, that was always like the, oh, well, he's going to come back, he's going to turn it on, and once he turns it on, we can make a run because he's Kyrie Irving, and it just never happened, and he's gotten farther and farther off the reservation. Kyrie Irving, he's always one good astrology reading away from coming back and getting it five triple doubles in a row.
He just needs a a little nudge he needs his horoscope to hit just perfectly right one morning and then he'll be like yep i'm back in let's do this do you know what so whenever we do like the winners and losers of a trade they should absolutely win the east though yeah whenever we do the winners and losers of the trade the true true winners of this trade is anyone who likes to watch basketball and loves the drama of the nba because not only did you get rid of that Rockets team that was so detestable down the stretch the last few years, which had already kind of had been falling apart, but you have a situation in Brooklyn where if it works, it's going to be so much fun to watch because I, I actually, I mean, we joke about there's only one ball. I don't, there's only one ball, but it also – and I think it's – I saw a statistic where those three guys

have three of the seven highest usage rates of all time.

Yes.

And they're all on the same team.

But it is a little different than, like, the big three

where, like, Dwayne Wade, not really a shooter, right?

Like, all these guys can shoot.

So it doesn't – the spacing is going to be hilarious in the fact that you just can't leave anyone open at any time when it comes to nets so either we're going to get like incredible offensive basketball that's going to be so much fun to watch or it's going to be an absolute train wreck and we're going to have so much behind the scenes drama and it's all going to fall apart and it's going to be like the Clippers last year on steroids. So we, as the consumer, completely win this one.
We win the trade. We totally won this trade.
And the Vikings, because they got Sam Bradford. Yeah, we totally won this trade.
I'm very excited to see James Harden, Kyrie Irving, Kevin. And not only is Kevin Durant the most sane one, but he's also the one who is going to probably take the ball less

because he's the best teammate of the three as well.

And maybe we can have like, I wish they had figured out a way

to get Russell Westbrook and they just had the OKC team back on the nets.

Maybe they could make that trade.

Kyrie for Russell Westbrook.

Recurring guest, Joe Harris.

And Joe Harris.

And no bench.

But that, guess what?

Steve Nash.

I do love how Jeff. Joe Harris is absolutely living the dream, though.
He is. He just gets to shoot it when he gets the ball.
I think they have three open spots now. When you get Sam Decker on one of those spots.
I do love that Jeff Green was trending yesterday. Because everybody was like, holy shit, Jeff Green still in the league.
Well, because they also were like, holy shit, Jeff Green's going to have to be the defensive stopper. Like, this is hiding James Hard Kyrie Irving.
Kyrie Irving can play a little bit of defense, but it's going to be... It's must-watch television.
What's going to happen when one guy goes out? But they're not going to... They're all...
James Harden and Kyrie Irving, at least, have shown no commitment to actually wanting to play basketball. This year? In the past few years.
Nah. James Harden likes to play basketball.
He goes to play basketball. He doesn't like to win basketball.
There was reports of him flying back and forth from Vegas before games. Oh, I'm sorry.
Vacation Hank is shaming one game. I would never shame a vacation.
I'm just saying that. Sounds like Dennis Rodman.
He won a couple titles. Right, but there's just, yeah.
You're sex-shaming him. I'm just saying I hope they turn it on just from a viewer's perspective.
I hope they go hard and they're trying to prove everyone wrong, but I don't think they give a fuck if anyone doubts them or shits on them. In a very serious take, I actually think this is a perfect situation for James Harden in that when they go to the playoffs this year, it is the first time in his career, maybe go back to OKC where he was coming off the bench, but first time in a long time where it isn't all up to him in that the success and failure of their team is put on James Harden.
He does at least have other guys who can... Yeah, but I mean, it still was...
It was still put directly on him. It was his team.
The Rockets were his team. Because he was like the MVP guy.
He was the guy that was scoring all the points. He was...
It was absolutely his losses. Like, what if he just...
What if that unlocks it? What if it's just the pressure? Because we all know James Harden in the playoffs. Remember the time that he just did drugs before that Game 6? Or at least seemed like it.
And he just was a no-show. Like, if he no-shows, they still have Kyrie and KD.
So, I don't know. I'm excited.
It's going to be fun to watch. It's going to be a carnival.
That's the whole point I'm excited about, and it's going to definitively answer the question, like, what happens when you get – is there a possibility of having too many scores? Yeah, is there truly only one ball? How many balls are there? Yeah, we will find that out. What are you going to say, Jake? Monday night, the Nets host Giannis in the box.
Ooh. On OK Day on TNT.
OK. First game Saturday, though, assuming Harden plays.
Is Harden going to play? I mean, he's got to probably get on a treadmill. They've got to get Bob Huggins in there and just have him set up one of his treadmills on the side of the court.
They need him to actually walk from Houston. By the time he gets here, maybe he'll be in shape.
I don't think he can play his way into shape. It's going to take until next March for him to play his way into shape.
That is, after everything we just said about how fun this is going to be to watch, James Harden's probably going to get injured trying to play himself into shape and Kyrie Irving's never going to come back. Oh, I hope.
And Kevin Durant's going to like take the Nets to the finals by himself and lose in four to LeBron. Fuck.
Right. All that's going to happen.
And like Sixers fans are upset now. If I was a Sixers fan, I would not have wanted James Harden.
I just wouldn't. If I were a Sixers fan, I don't want to watch Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid try to coexist anymore.
Like that's kind of been answered. I think that Big Cat's right.
This is a win for us. Win for us.
This is the best possible destination. It's going to be hilarious.
It's going to be. And I honestly think that they have.

They already were scoring like 118 a game, I think, and giving up 113 or 12.

They could break the record.

I think the record is like 250.

Do you think Kyrie knows?

I don't know if Kyrie knows yet.

Someone has told him on a Zoom or something.

He might be doing like a Matthew McConaughey style peyote trip down in Mexico. Here's my answer.
Kyrie knows, but has Kyrie internalized it? No. He hasn't really let it set in.
He knows. If someone asked him, hey, is James Harden on your team? Be like, yeah.
But he hasn't actually sat down and been like, oh, James Harden's on my team. Kyrie might know, but he might also not believe it he might just be like no that's not true that's just that's the media what if it's like the opposite effect of like you know when we talk about jordan love being drafted by the packers and how aaron rogers had a chip what if kairi's like oh you thought you could bring in someone who's like more dysfunctional fuck that and then i'm gonna get even more dysfunctional just keep going and going that'd be awesome.
Poor Kevin Durant. Do you think there's a little bit of him who's like, maybe I should have stayed with Steph? Well, I think that you can have some dysfunction, but as long as everybody is kind of dysfunctional in the same way, then it can work.
What's the old Belichick saying? Look at this fucking show that we do. We're all kind of weirdos, but we're weirdos in a way that works together.
With the Nets, it's like everybody is weird, but in extremely different ways. I think it's if you can all be wrong together, you can still be right.
There you go. It's like if you're all pulling on the same rope, if it's the same direction, even if it's dysfunction, it can work.
Yeah, so I think that what they're going to run into a problem with is that Kevin Durant is too right. So he's not pulling in the fucked weird he's got to get more burners too normal he's got to get back to burner life yep he's got to get back being real weird with it telling girls like he wants to smell their butts at the club i i need kevin durant to get weirder with it otherwise he's gonna he's gonna be the responsible one yeah it's like yeah it's like having a having a kid too.
Either you get more responsible or it just sends you out the door.

Oh, the kid just, yeah, you fail on everything.

We'll figure it out.

Yeah.

All right.

Let's talk some, what do you say?

Dwight Howard.

Dwight Howard would be a nice piece there too.

I also like whenever they throw in, they're like,

check out the Nets lineup.

And it's like, they got the big three and DeAndre Jordan.

It's like, is that really?

Okay.

Yeah, sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's fine. That's fine.
All right, let's get to some football. By the way, the road to Super Bowl 55 continues on CBS All Access with the divisional round presented by Intuit TurboTax Live.

Super divisional round. Let's go.
Packers, Rams. Oh, boy.
This feels like, to me, PFT, in my heart of hearts, I think the Packers are going to win.

Counterpoint, Blake Bortles.

He's active.

Blake Bortles is active.

Blake Bortles is extremely active.

Wolford is out.

I'm trying to do the thing where it's like I don't want to get my hopes up for a team that could potentially beat the Packers and then have them fail me. So I don't think, like, I'm going to be rooting for the Rams hard.
I'll probably bet on the Rams hard. 1-800-GAMBLER if you've got a problem.
But I know deep down this is probably a game that Aaron Rodgers is going to win just because like Jared's, he had surgery 10 days ago or 11 days ago. It's going to be fucking freezing cold.
It's no slight to him.

He's fucking gutsy.

He's the toughest guy I've ever met.

Straight up.

He'll beat up your dad.

That's how tough Jared Goff is.

Yeah, it's going to be an uphill battle.

The Packers, I think, they've been playing the best football in the NFC.

So I am with you that I want the Rams to win,

but I disagree with you because I do think that the Rams could win. I'm feeling good just in terms of their defense.
I like the Rams' defense a lot. So I have a couple stats that might help me and anyone who's rooting for the Rams feel a little bit better.
Jalen Ramsey versus top receivers this year. They're averaging 2.2 receptions, 23.5 yards's insane that is insane Amari Cooper had had the most with seven receptions and then you go down the list like Stefan Diggs had had uh one Terry McLaurin had zero Alan Robinson had one DK Metcalf had zero Mike Evans had four DeAndre Hopkins had three DK Metcalf again with one like he just shuts down these guys.
And the Rams have gone 11 straight games without giving up 250 yards passing. It's also going to be very cold.
Which makes me nervous about the thumb. Makes me a little bit nervous about the thumb.
Imagine Blake gets in and just dominates the Packers. Can you love a man more than you already? I already love Blake the most.
So what is more than the most love? There's nothing. Like, if he wins this game, I'll marry him.
David Baker needs to show up right after the game and just induct him into the Hall of Fame. And then wed us.
And then, yeah, yeah. I mean, I'm a minister.
I can say the rights. Done.
Okay, you'll get married. We'll trick them.
Yeah, you'll get married to Blake Bowles.

We'll have them call it and we'll fucking get married.

I think they can do it.

I think that the Rams can do it on the defensive side.

And, yes, the Packers' run game is not bad.

They've got a great running back,

which is something that they haven't always had in the past.

And it's going to be cold.

It's going to be tough.

It's going to be uphill.

But let me ask you this. If it's cold outside, doesn't that make your injuries hurt less? Isn't it like you're playing in ice? I don't think Jared's going to even be able to feel his hand.
That's the problem. Just run the ball.
Run the ball. Play good defense.
Bother Aaron Rodgers. I also love that Sean McVay called Aaron Donald the Terminator.
That made me feel a little bit better. He just made that up.
Yeah, that made me feel a little bit better about this. So come on, Rams.
Go Rams. All right, Saturday night, best game out there.
I think we're all very, very excited for this. Bills Mafia, Ravens, Lamar Jackson versus Josh Allen.
It couldn't have worked out better. Two guys the same draft class.
They obviously are compared against each other because you always compare guys in a draft class. How are you feeling about Bills Mafia? I think I'm going to bet on Bills Mafia.
I have the Ravens adjusted in the can't-lose parlay. I think the Bills win a close one.
So I've talked myself back into the Bills. I was nervous earlier this week because that Ravens defense matches up really well against the Bills, I think.
But I've talked myself back in strictly because of the weather and strictly because Lamar Jackson has never played in the snow before. Do you think he's rope-and-oping us, though? He doesn't? No, I don't think so.
Lamar Jackson's too respectful to the media. True.
He refers to people. He is.
The Mike Jones clip was a little disrespectful. He calls the media, like, Miss Sally.
Did you see the Mike Jones Club? No.

There's a reporter who's like, hey, Lamar,

Mike Jones here. Who?

Lamar just started laughing. He's like,

Mike Jones! Yeah, that's awesome.

Good. Lamar Jackson, I don't

think that he would lie to the media. He's too respectful.

And I think he's

afraid of the snow. I think the snow

has gotten inside his head already.

I don't think he's equipped to deal with Lake Erie. I like this.
Listen, they're going to let Bill's Mafia back into the stadium this weekend. That's going to be an issue for him.
I like the defense. Josh Allen, he said that he wants to be thrown through a table if they win the Super Bowl.
Yes, we'll do it. We need to figure out the correct table.
We'll do it. It has to be a special table.
Honestly, I would step back and I'd say, Bo boomer you have prima nocta on throwing josh this if you want to do the first one you can circle the wagons and spike them yourself but i like i like the weather the lake is the 12th man in buffalo i think that the bills are going to pull this off it's truly like a coin flip game in my mind it really is there's There's nothing... I think it's going to be close,

but I just...

If we're sitting here on Sunday and being like,

yeah, the Ravens won by three, the Bills won by...

These two teams are both very,

very good, and I don't really know...

I know that's lame to say, but

I just don't... I don't think it's going to be

a game where either team blows out,

and we can clip this, because this will probably be

my... This will be the clip.
It won't be a blowout. These two teams are too evenly matched.
40-10. a game where either team blows out and we can clip this because this will probably be my this

will be it won't be a blowout yeah these two teams are too evenly 40 40 to 10 uh but that's how i feel i honestly feel that way so i'm just thinking off the top of my head in terms of a poop town buffalo is one of the worst indigestion towns in america and we know that lamar jackson has dealt with his fair share of that he's got a weak gut you got you got buffalo wings and you got beef on whack, both of which

just slide through you like

shit through a weak gut. You got buffalo wings and you got beef on weck, both of which just slide through you like shit through a ten horn if you're a goose.
So I think that I like that matchup. And by the way, people from Buffalo keep telling me that I'm slandering buffalo wings by referring to them as buffalo wings.
You're supposed to call them chicken wings. Yeah, they're just chicken wings.
But if I'm from out of town, I feel like that's showing more respect by putting their name on it, right? No, they're just chicken wings. But if I ate it in Buffalo, I would call them chicken wings.
Like if you go to Paris and you make out, are you kissing or are you Frenching somebody over there? I don't know. Yeah, probably just kissing.
I don't think that you have to. So it's from a place of respect.
I will continue to refer to them as buffalo wings when I'm not in Buffalo. And then when I'm there, I'll just be too drunk to say anything.
That's fair. And just eat a million of them.
That's fair. All right.
Sunday, I have talked myself all the way into the Browns. That's dangerous.
It's very dangerous. That's a dangerous sentence to say.
It's a very dangerous place to be. So the Browns, a couple stats to maybe tell you why I'm getting there.
They're the first team ever in pro football focus to have number one run and pass block grade. And the Chiefs D ranks 26 in the run stop.
So the Chiefs offense, I'm a real believer that I do think the Chiefs have been playing with fire recently. They have won.
I went through it. I.
I've got to find it. They basically, the last eight weeks, besides week 17, because you can throw that week out because they didn't start Patrick Mahomes, they haven't beaten a team by more than six points.
So they've been toying with teams. You know what I mean? They've been toying with teams.
So here it is. They beat the Panthers by two.
They beat the Raiders by four. They beat the Bucs by three.
They beat the Broncos by six. Dolphins by six.
Saints by three. Falcons by three.
All of these have been close games. They haven't won a two-possession game and you're getting ten points.
Now, I'm not saying, when I say I'm falling in love with the Browns, I'm not saying I'm falling in love with them winning outright, but I just think ten, the Browns are two live in this game for 10 points. The last time these two guys got together, Baker and Patrick Mahomes, in college, the stat line, we have to just read the stat line out loud because it's insane.
Baker threw for 545 yards, seven touchdowns. Patrick Mahomes threw for 734 yards, five touchdowns, one reception, and lost.

And he had two touchdowns running.

Yes.

It was incredible.

So the thing that worries me is the Browns defense is not very good.

That's putting it lightly.

They do get Denzel Ward back.

They don't have any dudes.

No.

Miles Garrett's a dude.

He's a dude.

He's a bona fide dude.

No, he's a Haas.

No, that's an upgrade.

A dude is the number one. No, I think a Haas.
A Haas is a hoss yeah he no he's no that's an upgrade a dude is the number one no i think a hoss a hoss is a variant of dude like a bad dude i think a hoss when i think a hoss i think a hoss can only really be on the offensive line no i think i think that if you have a full back if you got a bad dude on defense that can get after the quarterback he's a hoss but he's regardless he's really the only dude that they have back there and And the Chiefs offense can light up anybody. So I don't know.
I want to believe in the Browns, and I'm going to be rooting for the Browns. I'm also going to bet the over in this game.
All right, last game, Saints box. Sorry.
Yeah. Mahomes threw the ball 88 times in that game.
Yeah, no, it's crazy. It was video games.
It was a straight-up video game. It's the truest.
That's the purest form, unstepped on, uncut Big 12 football. I bet you Mike Leach wouldn't change a thing.
Look at that. 734 yards, and he lost.
Yeah. All right.
Bucs-Saints, the old man game. I have been saying it all week, but I do think the Saints – I do like the Bucs in this game, and I like them because when you look at the Bucs' season and Allie Marpet goes out, they stumbled.
So I actually went and pulled the stats. With Allie Marpet in the lineup, there's pressure on 15% of Tom Brady's dropbacks without pressure on 24% of his dropbacks.
That's significant. That's a significant number, almost 10% higher.
I just don't. They also played the Falcons twice in that span.
No, no, no. This is for the whole season.
Okay. He went out for three and a half games with a concussion.
So that's the whole season that their offensive line looks different with and without him. I've said it a million times.

I just don't think that Drew Brees.

I just see another painful Saints loss coming.

Okay, I'm with you on that.

There will be a painful Saints loss that happens this postseason,

as is tradition.

But I think it's going to happen next week.

I think they're going to win.

I think they're going to dominate the Bucs.

It's a matchup thing.

Dominate?

I think they're going to dominate.

Where'd you get that from?

I don't think this is going to be close.

I'll see happen next week. I think they're going to win.
I think they're going to dominate the Bucs. It's a matchup thing.
Dominate? I think they're going to dominate. Where'd you get that from? I don't think this is going to be close.
I think this one might be a blowout. Okay.
I think it's going to be a lot like what happened last time they played. Okay.
Because I think that, for whatever reason, the Saints just, like, they've got their number. They just create problems for it.
And maybe it's because I wasn't blown away by the Bucs last week. You only beat the football team by, what, eight points? But they were never – so my counterpoint to that would be there was never a moment where I was like, the Bucs are going to lose this game.
If you think that Drew Brees is limited, what's Taylor Heineke? A lot better of a runner. Would you start a franchise right now with Taylor Heineke over Drew Breeze? Right this second? If Drew Breeze said, well, no, it's in the playoffs.
Oh, okay. You got one guy.
You got one guy. No, of course not.
But, yeah, I just, I mean, that game to me, and also the Bucs did a really good job blocking. All we heard was how great the Washington football team's defense was all year, and they kind of had got whatever they wanted.
Yeah, the offensive line was really good. I said that that's what won the game for the Bucs, and their running game was decent.
I don't think that Leonard Fournette, excuse me, Lenny, is going to have the same gas in his tank. I think he burned up.
Playoff Lenny. Burned up all the gas.
Playoff Lenny. Playoff Lenny.
Playoff Lenny. That's true.
He's coming up. He's a different guy.
I feel playoff Lenny. I like the Saints a lot in this game.

Okay.

All right.

Tell me which – well, I guess that means that you don't like the can't-lose parlay because – so I've adjusted – here, tell me which one loses.

I've adjusted Bucs to plus four and a half.

You obviously hate that.

I don't like that.

Browns over 48.

Wait.

Browns, Chiefs over 48. Browns, Chiefs over 48.
Ravens plus 10 and a half, so that's adjusted, obviously. And then the Rams, Packers under 52 and a half.
That's a can't-lose parlay. You've been really feeling your Rams unders recently.
You are the Ram under king. Every fucking game they play under.
I mean, obviously last week, but it still hit on the... It just concerns me when I hear Big Cat discussing the word under three weeks in a row.
I'm just saying as a friend. The Rams unders, I mean, I've been wise to the Rams for...
Although our ticket, Hank, doesn't look so good. But Hank and I were wise to the Rams, what, like two months ago.
Then they lost to the Jets. Ruined everything.
Blake Porter's going to take us to the promised land. He's going to take us to the promised land.
I hope that Jerry Goff plays and he plays well. But how amazing would that be, though, if Blake Bortles came in? I mean, I already said I was going to marry him.
But I'm thinking about it right now. The postgame on the field.
Everything. He's probably putting that hat on real quick on the sidelines.
No, he might be wearing some kind of protect... Maybe he's wearing a wetsuit because it's going to be cold.

That's true. So do that, Blake.

Or a yarmulke. Yeah, do that.
Just get

it ready before you even... So when you

take off your helmet... Oh, got everyone.

Little okey-doke there. Dude, Blake in a

do-rag. What if Blake came out with

the dude from Poison,

Brett Michaels do-rag. He'd look cool.

And a long hair wig. He'd look cool.

He'd look cool in anything. I have a stat.
Literally anything. Compared to the show and this weekend's NFL games, a quarterback on seven of the eight teams remaining has appeared on part of my take.
Oh. Whoa.
Wow. So Tom and Aaron Rodgers.
Tom Brady. Wait.
Jordan Love. I'm a quarterback.
Yeah. Trace McSorley.
Got it. So everyone except Tampa.
Uh-huh. Okay.

Interesting.

Who's their backup? Ryan Griffin or something. Ryan Griffin.
Yeah. Wait, is this going to be one of those games where Tom Brady and Drew Brees are going to be going back and forth, like trading all-time completion records or all-time touchdown records? I think Tom Brady's got them beat now pretty handily.
Let me look that up. Because Drew Brees went out for five games this year so i think it's i think the touchdown record is he's he's uh ahead by not a big big margin but it's enough how much tom's got 581 and then drew breeze has 571 yeah but you can imagine you can imagine sean payton like even if they're up 40 just throwing hail marysys to try to get Drew Brees that record.
All right. Before we get to our interview, so we're going to have Hawk, and then we're going to have Warren Sharp.
So the pile is now on sale, 10 a.m. There's some stuff from PFT's pile and Hank's pile mixed in there, 10 a.m.
Go to Sideline Swap. It's going to all be sold right at 10 a.m.
So if you're listening to this before 10 a.m., you still caught it in time. If not, you probably missed out.
But maybe go check anyway. All money going to Barstool Fund.
I'm going to match. Also, Warren Sharp forgot to mention, but he wanted me to say it.

Okay, here he is, former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Andrew Hawkins. Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest.
It is Andrew Hawkins. You know him on Twitter.
You know him from his career in the NFL. You can see him on NFL Network.
He has the Tomahawk Podcast with our friend Joe Thomas. Former Cleveland Brown, we thought it would be perfect to have you on as the Browns are in the divisional round for the first time in forever so we want to talk some ball we want to talk about this weekend but I wanted to just um throw this out there do you understand what's at risk right now with the Cleveland Browns in this playoff run no what's at risk okay risking right now here's what's at risk you last played for the Browns in 2016 I think if the Browns had a had a season of destiny and won the Super Bowl this year, I think it's close enough that in 10 years people will think you were on that team.
This might be the last chance you have. You're right.
That is a good point because people actually, well, I also catfish them, but people think that I was on the Patriots Super Bowl team and I was there for three weeks and I don't correct them. So I can now turn into a two-time Super Bowl winner.
Wow, I didn't think about that. I honestly think you should get a ring if they win.
They should give everybody that's been on the Cleveland Browns in the last five years that went through the lean years with the team. You laid the foundations, the building blocks of this franchise, or at least you should say that.
And actually, you know what you should do? You should take a picture do you still have like your uniform and your helmet yeah yeah you have my helmet like right here you should get dressed up like full kit and like do a little walkout video but make it look like maybe you're back like in the back alley of the stadium seriously have to be like really close it'll be like game day let's do it and then people would definitely think that you're still on the browns yeah because all it would matter would be the tweet and the date this time stamp you're right that's deep but you're i feel like i really do have a part in this super bowl and everyone will be like yo shut the hell up hawk what are you talking about but you didn't have to go out there and get your head beat in for draft capital the way that i did like i got i got real life body bruises from that so i absolutely have a share in this damn playoff run. I don't care what anybody says.
All right. So on that point, and it's something that came up throughout the season, um, can teams tank in the NFL? What is that like in the locker room when you're on a team that basically is saying we are playing for draft capital? I would assume no one says, Hey, we're tanking, but there's to be at least a vibe like, hey, the front office isn't really convinced to winning right this second.
Yeah, I don't know if you're ever in it, if you ever really believe that that's going on, because every NFL player has like, they're idiots, right? In the sense of, you know, myself included. It wasn't until I looked back on my career and realized like, oh, you were never going to be this guy knew that while I was in it but while you're there you think you're one play away from from being DeAndre Hopkins or one play or one good game away from being Tom Brady you never quite come to grips with the fact that you're just there's guys who are just better than you even by professional standards so with a team you always have the guys on the team.
Like we went into every game thinking we would win most times. It wasn't until that 2016 season.
It was the first time in my life I would be on the other side of a team warming up. And I would think to myself, like, damn, we don't have a chance to win today.
There's literally nothing we could do to win this game. And that took a mental toll that took a while to climb out of.
Yeah, I imagine. And we're rooting for the Browns here.
We've been long established. We like Cleveland.
We said they were America's team a couple years ago when they hired Freddie Kitchens. That turned out to be – that was a flash in the pan.
But, but again god bless the broken road that brought us to this place right now so we are unabashedly rooting for the bills and the browns this weekend um the browns have a very tough task going to kansas city can you just lie to us can you just tell us like what is the way i think there's like a 10 chance the browns can win what has to happen besides having like the worst worst weather of all time the Cleveland weather that they're more used to playing in than the Chiefs besides that what's the formula for the Browns to beat the Chiefs formula to beat the Chiefs we have to have the absolute best running game that the Cleveland organization has seen in the last 10 years and we have the ability to do it because we have the best O-line left in the playoffs. And we have the best running back group left in the playoffs.
And the Chiefs defense is like 31st against the run. So it does two things.
Number one, that's our value proposition. And the star of our team is our run game.
So you are putting that on showcase and display and going with your bread and butter. And you're keeping Patrick Mahomes off the field.
The Chiefs have had slow starts throughout the season because they know they can just flip a switch. And Patrick Mahomes just like turn your little wheel like a little clown toys.
And he just goes. So if we can get out to control the clock early start gain a lead and kill time that is our best chance of knocking off the kansas city chiefs so the flip the switch thing is interesting because you know the chiefs are the best team in the nfl and you know you still have to find a way to talk about them instead of being like oh they're the best they're gonna win it all to win it all.
So what I've kept on thinking about is the last half of their season, they were playing teams pretty close. And it did look a lot of times like, hey, even the Falcons game, the Panthers game, they're like, yeah, when we want to, we'll just turn it on and we'll win this game.
Do you think there's a danger in that? Like that they can't, it might just run out where it's like, hey, they're going to flip the switch, flip the switch. And then all of a sudden it's the fourth quarter and the switch isn't there.
Like, have you been a part of a team like that or been around, you know, talking to guys where that is actually a real concern? Yeah, I can't say I've been on a team that can flip the switch that way. I was for three weeks with the Patriots, but that was only OTA practices, and those guys flipped the switch with the best of them in practice.
But anyway, so I think that is a problem. And it can come back to haunt him in this situation.
And I think, you know, there's negative reinforcement, right? They won the Super Bowl a year ago. They know how good they are.
They know that we are more talented than teams. And we have the quarterback that whether we need 13 points, whether we need three points, whether we need 21 points, at whatever time he determines to score those points, it's going to happen.
The only way you can stop that is if he's not on the field to do that. And, again, that's why I'm like the Browns team, if you can get to that point and then eat clock because your run game is way more dominant than the Chiefs run defense.

It's the perfect matchup for you.

You can literally just eat the clock away from Patrick Mahomes doing that.

Yeah.

We've been saying that the Chiefs are getting too cute.

But again, that's just us trying to like nitpick and find something to talk about.

And they have done things.

Sometimes it looks like they get bored with scoring like a 40-yard touchdown pass to Tyreek Hill.

Like that's old hat for them. So they have to do something weird like, you know, a double reverse or like a fake lateral to Travis Kelsey and then have Mahomes throw it underhand to Anthony Sherman to run it in.
So like the play calling has been almost too cute to a point, and the Browns, they're playing big boy football, the run game. That's what they're trying to do.
Now, hopefully they won't have any COVID issues this week because that's been right a big issue how bad was the NFL screwing over the Browns how bad yeah over the Browns COVID was screwing over the Browns pretty bad it was it had all the makings of a classic uh Cleveland uh story of like in the one year we were good this this and this happened but the football gods smiled upon us for the first time in like four decades. So, you know, now I feel like it's meant to be.
Can we talk real quick about Maction? My favorite thing in the entire world. You played at Toledo.
Thank God. I thought you would – hold on.
You played at Toledo. Jason Candle's a friend of ours.
I think I have one too somewhere in here. Is that a mini helmet? Mini helmet.
It is. I also have one that's signed by the Toledo greats, by, like, Lance Moore, Bruce Gragkowski, Chet.
I got a mini helmet of all the Toledo greats. And Coach Doug, I got to get him on there, too.
Yes, absolutely. National title with Toledo.
When you played on a Tuesday and Wednesday night, did you feel like, hey, this is our Monday night football? Because it's my favorite thing in the world uh matching on a Tuesday or Wednesday night do you want me to be honest or you want me to play into the no I want you to be honest I want you to be honest and I'll tell you you're wrong when you say that it was terrible playing in like uh you know the middle of Ohio on a Tuesday night and no one was in the stands and it was 30 degrees. Go ahead.
I hated it. Really? I hated Tuesday night football.
I hated Wednesday night football. I hated Thursday night football because for all the points you just said, it was freezing cold.
Every time they started, it would be like in the middle of November. It was freezing cold.
We didn't have any heaters on the sideline. In the pros, you have heaters.
So cold games don't really matter to teams because you're on heated benches with heaters. In the MAAC, we didn't quite have that back then.
They have some now, but back then we were thugging it. And they would give us things like one pair of gloves for the entire season.
So now by that time, your gloves don't work anymore. So it's cold, you have hypothermia, and you have worn down gloves that make you drop the ball that much more there was one specific tuesday night game we were playing against northern illinois i was a sophomore this was like to if we win this we go to the mac championship jordan lynch it was uh i was jordan lynch there this might have been pre-jordan lynch okay this might have been pre-jordan lynch i think it would have been 2005 2005 okay Bruce Grakowski was still the quarterback it was like maybe five below it was like the kind of game where you got the water cups you put it down you walk away for three minutes come back and it's frozen it was one of those games my hands were cold I ended up dropping like three bubble screen one for a fumble touchdown return that made us lose the game

and from that day on i was like never again with this tooth and a football shit i'm over it never again but it does showcase the mac and it does i'm sure that like play like those are the plays that i love when guys fumble passes backwards miss kicks that's the beauty of the Mac, it's chaos at all times.

It is chaos.

And Mac-tion is fun.

It was like... When guys fumble, passes backwards, miss kicks, that's the beauty of the Mac.
It's chaos at all times. It is chaos.
And Mac-tion is fun. It really is an awesome football conference.
I'm not just saying that, not tongue-in-cheek. I loved playing in it.
Even at Toledo, it was a dope experience. Was that really fun for you when you were playing both offense and defense? If I were in your shoes, I would be getting ready ready for a game be like oh shit i have to go do this for two hours like that sounds like the most exhausting way to spend an evening that i could ever imagine no it was dope and i'll tell you the backstory which i've never told before so basically my senior year we had a new cornerback coach come in and the first day i met him i was like hey just so you know um I have first round feet and first round hips like that's how I could so I'm the best corner on the team I just play wide receiver and he laughed it off and so you know again I'm 5'7 and every coach has different philosophies they actually back then they weren't too high on shorter receivers so they would actually take me out of third downs imagine that slot receiver Andrew Hawkins that goes to play in the NFL they would actually take me out of third downs.
Imagine that. Slot receiver, Andrew Hawkins, that goes to play in the NFL.
They would take me out on third downs my senior year. And so I was like, yo, this is BS.
And the corner coach is like, yo, why aren't you? You're the best receiver we got. Like, why aren't they? He's like, well, fine.
Come play corner for me. And so it was like a thing to where the corner coach and the offensive coaches almost got in a fist fight at practice because I was like,

all right, I'll go play corner.

So one game we were playing and something happened where maybe I caught a

like kick return and like stepped out and then me and the,

me and the OC and we got into it heavy, like yelling back and forth.

And he was like, you're out. And I was like, well, forget you then.

I'll go play defense. And sure enough, the corner was like, yep, go yep go in you're at corner and so that's how i started playing both ways was kind of like uh you know inner squad squabble i like that you had people fighting everybody wanted a piece of the hawk yeah that's a power move you know what i mean ways in college come on exactly a lot of people experiment yeah sure are you in a sauna by the way? Yeah, a little sauna.
I'm in my garage, so let me show you. I built a set in the quarantine.
It's all fake. That's cardboard.
You should just tell people that's a sauna. You should get a little red light that comes on.
You're getting the hottest takes when you're talking to me in the sauna spray yourself down with some water yeah yeah um don't and don't don't try to sue me for that too because i'm using it no by all means all right so the rest of the divisional round obviously you cover the whole league uh which game are you most excited for outside the browns and what maybe matchup as well yeah can i say bills ravens yeah that's what i want to watch. I'm a Lamar Jackson fan.
Even though I'm a Browns guy, I feel like he's the most likable player in the NFL. If you don't like Lamar, you're an asshole.
That's how I kind of feel. Okay.
Well, that seems pointed towards me. I like Lamar.
No, I like Lamar. I do.
I think it's a weird spot. Lamar, like, he's very obviously when you talk about Lamar Jackson on Twitter,

there's two camps, and my camp has always been I think Lamar is incredible.

I think what he does with his feet is like no one.

That run against the Titans, no one else in NFL history besides maybe Michael Vick

can make that run.

I still have my doubts at times about being able to, you know, throw the ball when it's an obvious throwing situation. And maybe you could also, I'm okay with making the argument that it's, his receivers aren't great either because that's also true.
So do you think that that's fair to say like you still, I still would like to see a little bit more out of Lamar in the obvious passing downs,

in the obvious passing situations where he can, you know, he's come back a couple times this year,

so that's kind of to bed.

But, like, playoffs, if the Ravens get down in this game and Lamar has to pass, how's that going to look?

No, that's fair.

And when I say like Lamar, I mean, like, personally.

Yeah.

Oh, he's so cool.

Yes, yeah.

He's very cool. Like, that whole Ravens team has a coolness factor to it that absolutely like draws people in like he's just a good a good kid to me as a person but on the field no i don't think you're unfounded uh or you know you're wrong for thinking that because it's true and based off of what we've seen out of quarterbacks that is the the formula for quarterback but i do feel like we're seeing something in lamar that we've never seen and it is changing the game to where we're waiting for that moment where you got to throw it you got to do this but it's like if it's a sliding scale you know like i'm five seven um and you know what i mean but i can do these things better so it equals it out or if I'm not a good looking guy, I might be very, very funny.

Right.

And because of that, I'm now sunglasses.

Maybe I grow my hair. Maybe I grow a really strong beard to hide my, you know, my look.
So I feel like with Lamar, the fact that the way he runs is so much better than we've ever seen from a quarterback. Michael Vick included that because we're looking for this passing thing,

it's not going to, it's not going to be there,

but the running makes up for it for the elite level.

Now, eventually we'll find somebody.

That's the crazy part.

Where we've seen Mahomes, we've seen Lamar.

We didn't think someone could run the ball better than Michael Vick

at quarterback.

Think about eventually there's going to be a quarterback who can run like

Lamar and pass like Patrick Mahomes.

And then our minds are going to be just blown at that point. His name's Josh Allen.
He's playing in this game. Okay.
Yeah. Yeah.
So you've heard of him. Okay.
Okay. Great.
No, it is. You're absolutely right.
Like Lamar's running ability is so out of this world that it's okay that his passing isn't all the way what other quarterbacks are. I'm just, it's a fascinating team.
And I also think, like, Lamar becomes the biggest story because he won the MVP. He was 0-2 in the playoffs.
They win last Sunday. But more than anything, I walked away from that game being like, holy fuck, the Ravens' defense is incredible right now.
Like, they're finally all the way healthy. And that's the biggest thing to me.
Like, Lamar will get his. It's their defense being able to stop the Bills, who have been one of the top offenses in the league this year.
And that's what you kind of sacrifice for what you may lack at the receiver position. You know what I mean? It's like, what would you rather have? Would you rather have this top-tier receiver here, or would you have a defense that keeps you close to make sure you can play your game the way that it's set up? Yeah.
What about the Ravens' defense? I think that they actually have a bit of an edge going into this weekend because they're going against Josh Allen, who, yeah, he's making some great throws. Actually, his feet, we talked about that earlier this week.
But he's passing the ball as good as anybody in the NFL right now. But he's also extremely mobile and really effective running the ball.
So the fact that the Ravens defense gets to see that all the time in practice, does that actually make them more ready to play against a mobile quarterback like Josh Allen? Or is that just me trying to find a reason to think that the Ravens are going to be, you know, pretty dominant on defense? Yeah, I think that does. I think it does help, you know, because it's like I would tell corners that I would against, like, if you can guard me, you can guard any receiver route wise because no one's going to be as quick.
Yes, I'm smaller, but no one's going to be as quick and move like I can. And the corners, they would say the same thing.
Like they, you know, no one's going to beat them that way. So with Lamar, you're not going to find a mobile quarterback that you're going to play against that's different than Lamar.
And I will say in practice, the first-team defense doesn't go against the first-team offense.

It's rare.

So the first-team offense is practicing against the backups,

and the first-team defense is also practicing against the backups.

So they get to see RG3, though.

They see RG3 all the time.

Trace McSorley.

Trace McSorley.

Yeah.

Yeah.

They see a lot of Trace, a lot of RG3.

So that helps. RG3.
So that helps.

RG3 probably runs similar to Josh Allen does.

Yeah, like they're junctured nowadays.

But I do think that the Ravens defense has an edge

because I think they have the best cornerback tandem.

The thing that the Bills had is that they can't be guarded.

Like Cole Beasley can't be guarded one-on-one.

Stephon Diggs can't be guarded one-on-one.

And every receiver after that is fast and quick. And you've got a quarterback that can make any throw.
It's just tough to guard everyone. The team that has the best chance of that is the Ravens because their trio of corners is probably the best in the league.
Yeah, no, absolutely. So speaking of cornerbacks, and this is kind of a dumb question, but the Rams-Packers game, Jair Alexander and Jalen Ramsey, two of the best cornerbacks in the league.
How does a shutdown corner exist? I don't really understand it because the wide receiver position and the way the offense has moved in the NFL, how do you shut down any of these guys who are so big, strong, fast, and then all the rules are in their favor? Yeah, so I think it's two-part. Number one, Jalen Ramsey is the best corner on planet Earth.
He really is. He's like patient.
The scariest corners are the guys who are patient. That's typically the bigger guys.
They're not going to fall for a lot of fakes. They're just going to sit in there, hang in there and kind of muscle you.
If they can throw your timing off, I don't have to guard you and be so quick, fast and reactive. It's just a matter of ruining your timing with your quarterback and making them come off of you so that's what jim ramsey is great at and that's why he's the best the other thing he has working in his favor is he has aaron donald in front of him right so he's not having to guard guys you know as as much as the team with a terrible d-line because you can't just sit back there with ad chasing you he's going to come there and if if he catches you, he has bad intentions.
So the combination of those two players on a defense are huge because it takes three guys to block Aaron Donald. And Jalen can guard anybody one-on-one for the regular time, let alone a quicker tick because he has Aaron Donald chasing down the quarterback.
It is crazy, though like i'm so excited to watch jalen ramsey versus devontae adams on saturday because devontae adams like he had an incredible incredible season and if you had to ask yourself right now like who will probably get the best of that matchup is jalen ramsey and that makes no sense in my brain because devontae adams every every time he runs on the field he's wide open and he's catching balls from Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, and it's crazy.
I remember the graphic of Darrell Revis when it had, like, the list of receivers in that season, and they had, like, no catches, one catch, two catch, three catch. And if you look at Jalen Ramsey this year, it's the same thing.
And I feel like this is, like, the final board of the video game. And if he locks Devontae Adams down against Aaron Rodgers, it's like, yo, he's in a whole other stratosphere.
And I never thought we'd see a corner to kind of match that same graphic from Darrell Revis. Yeah.
Yeah. You mentioned Cole Beasley a second ago.
Do you have respect for his all-pro vote as a fellow slot guy? Are you like, yeah, it's about time that we start, you you know we're not going to slot shame each other out here it's 2021 we're not slot shaming no i mean he's he's he's he's taking the fight on um and taking it to new levels that i you know i didn't even i didn't even think was possible you know i feel like i played a small part in that and you know to watch peter king explain it the way he did at first i was like yeah those stats you know and then when he explained it like no this is my slot guy it was a standard ovation like you damn right this is a this is you wouldn't say you wouldn't judge a tight end based on his receiving yards to a wide receiver so why would you do that on a slot is the best slot in the game give him the all pro vote yeah Hawk that's also such a Peter King thing to do it is like like, hey, here's everyone's votes. Oh, I'm going to do something so different, so it's a story about myself.
I'm redefining the all-pro position. You know what he did? Okay, I'm with you on part of that, but I think that son of a bitch Peter King took away a vote for a fullback and then transferred it to the slot guy, which I don't appreciate at all.
That is the game we're in. I know you like the fullbacks.
I do, and I like Patrick Ricard. I think Patrick Ricard, hand up.
I haven't talked about Patrick Ricard enough. We all make mistakes.
That was a big oversight on my part. I don't know how I overlooked a dude that's like 6'2 and 311 pounds, but that dude, he's not.
We like to do this with different teams. He's not the best player on the Ravens offense, but he's the most important player on the Ravens offense.
I like that. I like that.
It's important. All right, the other game I want to talk to you about, the Bucs Saints.
So we always make the joke there's only one ball. And how much truth behind that is there when you're talking about a Bucs offense that seems to have kind of found their way, but you have Antonio Brown, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Rob Gronkowski.
If those guys don't get looks during a game, do they get out of the game? How does that feel as a receiver when you're not getting the ball or you're not getting targets and you're in the third quarter and it's like, I have no rhythm here. Yeah, you can definitely fall into that.
But it all depends. It's like a top-down mentality.
I'm going to go pretty deep into this rabbit hole. So, like, the Patriots work because everything in the organization flows up to one person.
Belichick decides, you know, what PR requests that you say yes to and don't, what we eat in the cafeteria, the schedule, our recovery, like it all comes, it all flows to one person. So everybody understands who's in charge.
Right. And then there's situations I'll go to the Browns where, you know, if you notice when OBJ went down, you know, the offense kind of started clicking more because at that point, Baker Mayfield stopped thinking, oh, let me get OBJ touches, Jarvis touches OBJ.
And it was like, let me just throw to the open guy, you know, because, and not as a bad thing, it wasn't anything on OBJ or anything on Baker either. It's just that OBJ is a big dog and he hasn't been for a while.
So yes, you want to give that guy touches. With Tom Brady, it's different.
Tom Brady is the big dog. You can't go to Tom Brady and say yo throw me the ball no one is going to step outside of that even Mike Evans or Godwin or whoever that is because they understand and they know that Tom Brady only runs his offense that way the open guy gets the ball so your touches will come when your touches are become open and we're going to do a lot of other things to make sure they can't take one guy or one side of the field or one play or one formation away so everyone just kind of buys in because it's it's tom what could you say and it's kind of so what you're describing is it's basically on you like you have to get open you have to win your one-on-one battle and if you do tom brady will get you the ball absolutely and if you didn't if you want if he doesn't throw it to you not to throw that's like that's what people get pissed they're like, yo, I was open.
I was the throw, throw it to me. I was never like, yo, give me the ball guy.
I would only get mad when I know this play is called. I know where I am in the progression.
I won and I didn't get the rock. Now I'm pissed, right? You never have to worry about that with Tom Brady.
Cause if I didn't come to you, you won't want to throw. And everybody knows that he knows that better than anybody else.
That makes a lot of sense. What about looking back on the earlier matchups this year between the Saints and the Bucs? Like the Saints dominated them, just absolutely like stomped on their heads last time they played.
What's the difference between a team that looks at that, goes in the next matchup with their heads down, and a team that looks at that and just gets pissed off? Yeah, I think there's only one goal for the Bucs and the Saints, right? And the Saints know they can beat them because they have twice. And they stomped them pretty good.
And to beat a team three times in a row that's talented as the Buccaneers, I don't know, I think it's tough sledding. I actually have the Bucs winning this game.
And I think a big important factor is the fact that Antonio Brown is starting to look like Antonio Brown, right's finally getting his rhythm and it's added another element to this offense so you know couple that with some of the injuries on the on the Saints side and you know they're not quite full rhythm they didn't look great against the Bears last week and the Bears look terrible oh yeah I yeah I'm going with the Bucs man yeah I agree with you I think the Bears as bad as Bears looked, they actually had a chance to win that game in the third quarter, which is shocking. What about our guy C.D.
Deuce on the Saints? Oh, yeah. So Mike Evans loves to get into fights against the Saints.
I think it's his favorite thing. I think he likes doing that more than catching touchdown passes.
And he's a big dude, and he likes to talk, and he likes to fire back. And the Saints are really good at getting under his skin.
That's like – that is the best matchup that they could have is an elite shit talker like CeeDee Deuce going after Mike Evans. Have you ever like – was there one quarterback that you played against that you just – you wanted to fight all the time? Nah, not because they were like trash talking.
The biggest trash talker was probably Kip Talib. He was like he would say some he would say some wild stuff you run into those guys that will literally say anything on a field to get under your skin he would say some wild stuff he was the best at it like it wasn't you know it's like chad ocho sick was like a fun trash talker yeah to live would say some disrespectful stuff man and i'm like it would absolutely get under guy's skin i think think Jalen probably did that too.
I didn't play against Jalen, but I've heard Jalen gets that level of disrespectful too. And hey, man, if you could do it and maintain and throw a guy off their game, that's the whole point of it.
Did you ever wear a necklace around a kid? Or did you know like, hey, he's going to come after your jewelry? I couldn't afford a damn necklace, TFT. I was still trying to make sure I was on a team.
I couldn't afford to get a necklace and get that ripped off in a game. I'd have been crying at midfield.
When that happens, though, so the Bears afterwards, Matt Nagy was like, yeah, we went over this in practice. We went over this in film.
CD Deuce is going to talk shit. Don't respond.
What do you say to your teammate when he gets kicked out of a game like that? It's like you knew this was coming. We talked about it.
It happened earlier in the year. What the fuck happened there? You just lost your mind? Or is it just some guys will say something so vile that you can't help yourself? I don't think people realize the mindset you have to be in to play an NFL game.
That's what I think. It's not just like, oh, you're going out to do a job.
Like we're not out here making copies at FedEx Kinko's, right? Like I would go into a game and I would turn into a completely different person. The reason being Ray Lewis is trying to take my damn head off, right? Like in my mind, there is a chance I don't make it home tonight to my kids.
These guys are going to try to kill me if I'm not looking. Right? So if they bring it to me, I bring it.
So when you're in that mindset, out on the field and bullets are flying and people are talking, you're not thinking with a sound mind. This is a Warriors game, and that's the mentality you go into it with.
I would be trying to take people's legs out. I didn't give a shit, and I would tell them that.
Like, yo, I want you to know. cause they would, they would say, Oh, we're going to knock you out.
They try to intimidate the smart. I said, you know what? You can try if you want to, I'm taking every ACL I see out here out.
That's the, that's the mentality that I would be. I'm going to, I'm going to cut block you every play and we'll see who lasts longer.
So I think just, it gets the best of players while you're out there. And even as much as you try to mitigate or say, okay, I'm not going to respond.

Yo, it's tough, man.

It's emotional.

A lot going on out there.

All right.

So give us your picks this weekend.

Do you pick against the spread?

No.

I pick straight up.

Coward.

Pussy.

What?

I thought that was the gangster thing to do.

No, no, no.

You're being a pussy.

This is step into our arena.

Yeah.

You come on this show. If you don't pick against the spread, we're going to take your fucking ACL out.
That's the mentality you have when you step into the studio. Just tell you what.
Just tell us... By how much.
That the Browns are going to win by a lot so that we can make a video out of it, and then we'll try to get LeBron James to retweet it because I know that he follows you and retweets you all the time. Are you a baby Bron? Has LeBron ever referred to you as baby Bron? No, he has not referred to me as baby Bron.
Still working on that. Still working on that.
I will go with the Browns will win by seven points. Okay.
And then do the other three games. Okay.
The Ravens will win by four points. Okay.
The Bucs will win by three points. Okay, all underdogs here.
I like this. And actually, I'm going to be more serious with the Browns pick.
The Browns are going to win by three. Okay.
And what is the last game packers rams packers the packers will beat the rams by a touchdown seven okay that's about a push wherever it is all right i like those um all right well hawk this has been awesome oh i had one last question so So you do co-host a podcast with our friend Joe Thomas,

the Tomahawk podcast.

If Joe Thomas – there was the COVID issue with the Browns

and they've had a bunch of injuries.

Given his weight right now, could Joe Thomas survive a game

playing offensive line just knowing how great he was technique-wise

and like savvy vet-ness even though he's like 75 pounds lighter they would push joe thomas's shit in the dirt much as i love to try to go block those guys at 70 i mean joe is he's more cut than i am i know it's like you're essentially putting a receiver out there to go play left tackle i don't care how great your technique is i don't think you can do it it. Do you ever look at Joe and just be like, man, this is kind of creepy.
Dude, stop. You look kind of weird.
Eat a cheeseburger. Absolutely.
Yesterday on the show, it was weird when I got the gut and he had a six-pack. It was a very weird transition of things.
Yesterday, he just sits there and his arms are just jacked. I don't know.
It is weird's weird every time i see him i'm not gonna lie to you now what about the other side of it what if the browns all their wide receivers come down with with positive test or contact tracing again yeah i i said that they should get the whole gang back together like the old school browns you know the the highlight reel of the last 15 years suit them up could you go out there i could go out there out there. It wouldn't do anybody any good.
But if they were like, we need someone on the roster, I could. No, I would be terrible.
I would literally be. I don't work out.
I haven't worked out since I left the NFL. What do you mean? I don't work out.
I do not train. What does that mean? You don't even go on a treadmill? I mean, I'm the same, I'm the same way.
So like, but like when people say they don't work out, like when I say I don't work out, that literally means my heart rate hasn't gotten above like, you know, a resting heart rate in months. You do not run, sprint, shoot hoops, anything.
Nothing. I don't do.
I work all day. That's all I do.
I don't, I don't work out. It's not great, but I don't.
I did for, I did for a second, like a year ago when I got like really bad and I got real, I like snapped back in like 40 day period. And again, it's been over a year since then I hadn't done anything from retirement to then.
Like I didn't work out since my last Patriots practice for two years. And then since which has been like a year and a half now, I have not lifted a weight not run have not broken a sweat um yeah i don't i don't i'm not aware it's i'm over it i did it forever and now i'm like i want to spend a little time doing nothing all right that's cool and it's harder though to do what you're doing now than it is to play in the nfl right like not work out do podcasts all that yeah oh my god this is like this tough business.
That's why we didn't play in the NFL. Are you addicted to work? I see you working all the time.
You're literally on every show. How many shows are you on? Are you addicted to work? That's a good question.
Honestly, being 100% serious, I've had that conversation with myself recently that I might be. I might be addicted to work.
I do a lot of shows. I even do because I have businesses, too, that I work for in, like, an everyday 9 to 5 role.
And I have a hard time turning down jobs. It is a problem.
But that's okay because I'd imagine you live to work, not work to live. Yes.
Yeah. If you live to work, it's good.
If you live to work, it's okay. Like, we're kind of addicted to work.
Like, we enjoy working. Like, I live to work.
I don't work to live. You're right.
I like that take. That is how it is.
I like to make something out of nothing. That's a process that I'm very appreciative of.
So I like that. I love it.
All right. Well, Hawk, this has been awesome, man.

And now for something completely different. Okay, we now welcome on our good friend, Warren Sharp.
You can find him at SharpFootball, SharpFootballAnalysis.com. He's got a podcast on the ringer.
He's here to break down divisional round. Very excited for these matchups.
Let's just do it. Let's just jump in.
Let's just go chronological order. You can tell us your thoughts.
We'll tell you our thoughts. We'll trade thoughts.
Let's start with the Packers-Rams. It just was announced that John Wolford is not going to be active, so it's Jared Goff and then the boat, Blake Bortles, behind him.
Is there a recipe for the Rams to win this game, and what does it look like? The recipe is you've got to figure out, with Brandon Staley, a brilliant defensive coordinator for the Rams, figure out how to slow down the Packers in the first half. The Packers are the NFL's number one highest scoring offense in the first half.
What Staley has been great at is reducing offensive output by opponents in the second half of games. They have the number two best adjustments and second half point output of opposing offenses, but you got to figure out how to do that in the first half right off the jump against the Packers because that's where Green Bay does so much damage.
They're on their home field. Aaron Rodgers has been dreaming of this opportunity to host this playoff game.
That's what he's been playing all season for is to have home field advantage to be able to host one of these and now you're dealing with trying to manage a guy with a broken thumb who's only played a couple games in his NFL career in cold weather like this it's going to be a challenge but you have to win it with defense and not make your offense have mistakes what about the other side of the coin the Packers defense which we've slandered repeatedly this year but we've we've kind of come around on them because they seem to be playing better they won the fraud bowl the eye yeah the eyeball test in the fraud bowl against uh Ryan Tannehill who he's a quarterback that absolutely hates the cold I don't know if there's any stats to back that up but he looked like he was just he looked like he was frozen out there is the Packers defense actually that much better in the second half of season? Are we making that up? No, look, I think when the Packers play an offense, it's really going to test them. They're going to have some trouble that where they, where they match up good here against the LA Rams is that they're really good at the perimeter with their cornerbacks.
And so I think LA has got a very defined game plan here. I think it's a lot of Cam makers running the football, and you've got to try to get some upside from Higby as a tight end against some of those linebackers.
That's an edge that I think should be able to favor the LA Rams here. I like the Packers defense, but I do think that it is a little bit fraudulent, could get exposed by the right offense.
And I just don't know if this is the right team to do it. I think this easily could be a Rams cover and a game that sits right around like 26-20, possibly somewhere in that neighborhood.
I think the point spread is pretty good with this one. There is the potential that the Packers get out pretty quick in this game, and you definitely can't have that happen because this really is one of those first quarter games.
If Aaron Rodgers puts up 10 to 13 points to 14 points in the first quarter, I mean, you don't want Goff sitting back. They're dropping back over and over and over.
We now know, as you mentioned, his Walford, his backup is not going to be in there.

So it could be Blake Bortles who enters into the game.

But I just think the Rams have to figure out a way to keep this game close through the first quarter.

Do you think, is there anything with, you know, Vic Fangio obviously coached defense for the Bears.

Brandon Staley is a disciple of Vic Fangio.

Is there like a sharing of ideas in those situations where it's like, hey, how do we stop Aaron Rodgers? And can you even? Like, is this a situation where the Rams can go in and reasonably hope that they could maybe keep the Packers to 17 points? Because I feel like that's – like, for the Rams to win this game, the Rams aren't going to score more than 24 points, so they've got to kind of keep the Packers to 17, 20, 21, somewhere in that range, right? Yeah, I think that would be tough, especially at home for Green Bay to only have that level of output. Because you look at the Rams defense and the best elements of their defense, what they've been able to win the most with.
And it's Jalen Ramsey and it's Aaron Donald, right? Those are your two studs. And the Packers have the NFL's best graded center in Corey Lindsley to go up against Aaron Donald.
And we don't even know how long in this game Aaron Donald might be able to last. We certainly know that he's going to start the game.
But if he takes another shot to those ribs or something else happens or pops or who knows what is going on right there, he might miss miss some time in the second half of this game i don't know i hope he doesn't but it's a possibility but you have a great matchup if you're the packers to stop one of the biggest elements of the rams offense i don't think that lindsey's going to be able to stop him but at least try to slow him down it's better to have the best center playing the sport right now than it is like the 13th best or 15th best. So at least that's favorable to the Packers from that perspective.
And then you've got Devontae Adams who excels using his footwork. And that's the key thing.
I know they're going to talk about a time in and time out on the broadcast. He uses his footwork to gain separation.
He doesn't try to overpower with his hands against a guy like Jalen Ramsey. And Jalen Ramsey's had some success against guys who try to out muscle him at the line of scrimmage.
And I don't think Devontae Adams is really going to do that. I'm also really intrigued to see how they move Devontae Adams around and what that causes to happen for the rules of Jalen Ramsey and where they line him up.
I like this defense.

I will say, having spoken with coaches, I don't think Vic Fangio would feel comfortable reaching out to Brandon Staley.

Be like, hey, here's some thoughts that I have for you on this game.

I think if it's going to happen, if there was some of that communication,

it would have come when Brandon Staley floats a little note out to Vic and say, any thoughts on the matchup this weekend? And then you get, might get a little bit of a, of a discourse there. So I'm not quite sure where that would go, but it's definitely going to be important to try to figure out a way to slow down Aaron Rodgers.
But I think expecting that you can limit him to 17 points is relatively unreasonable, in my opinion. I love the narratives about the disciples.
I just love any disciple conversation. And the big disciple conversation this game, obviously, is going to be McVay and LeFleur.
How does that usually shake out if there's a head coach that's coaching against a guy that worked underneath him? Does the advantage, would you think that it would go to the guy that learned so much from the head coach or would it go from, you know, would it go to a head coach like McVay who saw everything that LaFleur did, probably memorized it, and then, you know, has a little leg up leading into the actual game? I think it's really fascinating because I don't know that there's necessarily a hard and fast rule. I have not studied the game results when those two types of things line up because it really is so specific in this particular instance.
As an offensive coach, as a designer of your offense, you cook, you're the chef and you work with the ingredients that you have at hand. And then you're trying to make the best meal possible.
And each guy's got their own set of ingredients. It's not like these cooking shows where they give all the teams the same exact recipe, the same exact, or the same exact ingredients make something different and that we will like it's it's you got totally different sets of ingredients here.
So I think that there's going to be a little bit of familiarity that you could share with your defensive coordinator. Like, hey, I know he likes to use this.
I know he likes to do that. You might have a little bit of familiarity with Matt LaFleur.
Like, hey, I've seen Jared Goff, and he struggles with this a little bit. But I think there's a cat and mouse game associated with it, but I don't know if there's a definitive edge for the master or his pupil.
So what would you say looking at the difference between LeFleur and McVay? Because a lot of times, in my dumb brain at least, I'm like, oh, that's LeFleur. He's just McVay with darker hair, and he was hired to be like the next McVay during that whole coach offseason hiring spree.
So what does LaFleur do differently? What are the notable differences in his offense as opposed to what Sean McVay tries to do? Well, the cool thing is that when McVay was with LaFleur in L.A., McVay was 11 personnel, 90% of the game. I'm just going to – and you know what that is now.
One running back and one tight end. Yep, do it.
Yeah, and so they spread the field with wide receivers constantly, and that's what they were using up through that 2018 Super Bowl that they lost to the Patriots. But when LaFleur goes and leaves and goes to Tennessee, he's got Derrick Henry, he's got Marcus Mariota, he's doing totally different things with the offense.
They aren't using 11-wise. They aren't doing the same types of things that Sean McVay was using with the Rams back in 2018.
But then Matt LaFleur comes to Green Bay, and guess what also has happened now is that Sean McVay is no longer – he's learned from the 2018 and 2017. They were also using the three-wise all the time the time he's learned from that now they're using more two tight end sets to help pressure protect golf because golf is terrible under pressure that's going to be a key element to this game is the pass rush that green bay can get in there so even sean mcveigh's offense it looks a little bit different they're saying still the same principles and same concepts but i mean it the game that we remember Sean McVay, that was just like, holy cow, this is one of the best games we've ever seen was the game against the Rams versus the chiefs, where it was like 54 to 50.
It wasn't supposed to be, I think in Mexico, but then it got moved back to LA and they played this massive shootout on Monday night football. And it was incredible to watch.
And there was a lot of deep passes that the Rams were throwing down the field as a constant 11 personnel. Now they're not even throwing the ball deep down the field anymore.
They're hardly ever throwing, the Rams hardly ever throw deep. They're using a lot more 12, but the principles of using the run to set up play action and open the game off of that.
Both of these guys like to utilize that. Both of these guys like to add that.
But I mean, there's night and day differences that each of these coordinators have and play callers have with the ingredients specifically at quarterback and specifically in this game. Aaron Rodgers throws deep at the highest rate in the NFL.
The Rams are one of the best defenses at stopping deep passes. Jared Goff doesn't throw the ball deep hardly at all.
So, I mean, there's a lot of interesting angles from that perspective. All right.
So Saturday night I think is the game that everyone's looking forward to the most this weekend. The Ravens and the Bills.
It feels like whoever wins this game has a very decent chance of going to the Super Bowl. Maybe it's the Chiefs.
Maybe it's the Browns. We'll get to that in a second.
What is the – I looked at last week and I was like, damn, the Ravens defense was humming at a different level that they have been at for a while. So are they able to stop a dynamic offense like the Buffalo Bills? And how is that going to look when, you know, the Bills weren't perfect on Saturday against the Colts, so are they going to be able to kind of clean some of that stuff up? So a lot of elements to this game, but on that side of the football, I have a lot of respect for the Ravens' defense.
I do think it's going to be a difficult matchup. The difference between this matchup and, let's say, when Brian Dayball and the Bills went up against the Chargers or the Steelers with the Ravens' is that in the Chargers it's like okay we got to make sure that Joey Bosa doesn't wreck our game plan with the Steelers it's like okay let's make sure TJ Watt and Cam Hayward don't wreck our game plan getting pressure from those guys could derail some things and Brian Dayball was able to come in after the first series or two where they started a little bit slowly and made some adjustments.
And then the offense started humming after that. In this game, there isn't one guy or one or two guys that really stand out for the Ravens.
I mean, like Matthew Judon, they got guys who have a few more sacks than others, but there's not that guy that's just like, oh God, we got to make sure. It's the scheme of Wink Martindale and it's the pressure rate.
They blitz at the number one highest rate of any team in the NFL. and it's the scheme of Wink Martindale and it's the pressure rate.
They blitz at the number one highest rate of any team in the NFL. And it's the ability to send SIM pressures, which are like we stand at the line of scrimmage and there's six of us and two of us are going to drop out.
You don't know which is going to come or five of us are going to rush. And one of us is going to drop out and you don't know which is going to come.
So they're simulating that all the guys are coming. So the line has to figure out what are we going to do? And then the Ravens drop back.
That is like one of the better adjustments that defenses can use against offenses to try to slow them down. Like offenses use pre-snap motion and play action to try to get extra information before the snap or fake the defense after the snap to gain an even better edge by getting guys out of position with play action where the defense thinks it might be a run but it's actually a pass with sim pressures the same exact concept happens where the offense thinks we got the line thinks i'm blocking these guys the quarterback thinks i might have pressure.
So I got to look for my hot routes. And then it's not after like a second, it's not what you thought it was going to be.
So there's definitely going to be a challenge for the Buffalo Bills offense to try to figure this out. Two things that we know though, I mentioned that the Buffalo Bills, sorry, that the Baltimore Ravens have the number one highest blitz rate.
Josh Allen is phenomenal against the blitz. He's faced eight top 10 blitz-heavy teams in the NFL so far this season.
So he's faced teams that like the blitz, though nobody blitzes at the rate of the Ravens. And he's done well against the blitz, just the blitz.
But there's a difference between a blitz and pressure. Pressure means the blitz is getting home or you could be pressured even if they didn't blitz.
And Josh Allen has massively bad splits when he is being pressured. So the key, the whole framework of the Bills offense needs to be get the ball out of Josh Allen's hands before the pressure reaches him.
Because under pressure, he's not good. Without pressure, he's great.
And if he can diagnose a blitz before it gets to him and before he's pressured, he's great as well. So you just got to figure out the right types of personnel groupings, which there are some that work better against the Ravens than others, which the Ravens have not had much success getting pressure against.
Use those a little bit more often and try to get the ball out of Josh's hand. And the biggest thing here to guys for me in this game is it's imperative that the Buffalo Bills start quickly and put up points.
You must make Baltimore go into halftime down seven to 10 points and thinking, man, we've got to throw the ball more in the second half. We've got to take the ball out of Lamar's hand.
We've got to make an adjustment. And they have to be sitting there in that locker room at halftime, making some of those adjustments to use more 11 personnel or more dropback passing game from Lamar.
If the Bills keep the Ravens in the game, or if the Ravens have a lead here, they're going to be able to run all second half against this defense. And that's a concern for me.
What about the other side of it? What about the Buffalo Bills defense against offenses like the Ravens? I'm sure that there's no other team in the NFL that does certain things that the Ravens do offensively. But when they're going up against those, you know, the fancy math personnel groupings that you keep very close tabs on, how does that defense fare in those situations? The thing with the Ravens is that they only have one really good wide receiver and that's Marquise Brown, number 15.
And the problem for, but the problem for them is that the Bills have one of the best shutdown corners in the NFL, Tredavious White. Most teams that the Bills go up against have a couple of comparable receivers.
You're not really going to find another team in the NFL that has one guy who you should fear, who's got some speed, and the rest of the guys just kind of, eh, like they don't throw the ball to them much. There's not much to do with them.
So I'll be interested to see how the Bills deploy Tredavious White against Marquise Brown. Are they moving him? Is he traveling with Marquise Brown? Or is he staying on his side, which is what he's done most of the season? But beyond any shadow of the doubt, the number one thing when you've got a corner like that who can guard Marquise Brown is we've got to shut the run.
Let's focus the rest of our efforts on stopping the run. I think they had some success.
If you go back and watch the 2019 game where Buffalo, a much worse version of Josh Allen, played the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore struggled to run the football against this Buffalo Bills defense.
I do think Buffalo was a little bit better defensively in 2019 than they are in 2020. And there's going to be some edges.
Buffalo ranks number 30 over the course of the entire season against explosive rushes. It means like runs that gain 10 plus yards.
So I think that there's going to be opportunities for the Baltimore Ravens to have some of these big explosive runs on the ground. And Buffalo may struggle against that.
They've gotten a little bit better of late, but they still may struggle against that. But I think that Mark Andrews is the key guy that you want to be looking at to have a big game for Baltimore.
I think regardless of what Buffalo ends up doing, they stink covering tight ends. So I think Mark Andrews is going to have a big game here from a yardage perspective, possibly a touchdown perspective too.
I just think he's going to have a good game here. But it'll be interesting to see if the weather is bad.
I mean, the weather forecast is all over the place do know that we got surprised against the pittsburgh steelers with some lake effect snow flurries in that game that weren't being predicted three hours beforehand um and so that was certainly a big big shock to us um if the weather is bad that favors baltimore because they want to just run the football and Buffalo lost their

starting running back last week. So they're playing with Singletary and they want to pass

the football. Um, but what the funny part is, is it's already in Lamar Jackson's head.
He's

already said, I don't want to play in the snow. I really don't want to.
And so to me, it's like

Buffalo should use this to their advantage, right? Like I know Buffalo has, hasn't fared well

against the, in the weather conditions that they've played, but why did you go get Josh Allen? You got the big hulky dude from Wyoming, the guy with the big hands and the big arm who could play in these conditions, who's played in them in Wyoming, who could, this is a Buffalo quarterback, right? This is Josh Allen's perfect for this. And you've got another quarterback who's like, I don't really want to play in the snow.
So Buffalo needs to welcome whatever the weather conditions are and just try to use it to their advantage. The lake is the 12th man.
I mean, Lake Erie across the board. Those are our teams there.
So Lamar's never played in the snow in his life. He saw snow one time.
Is this going to be the coldest game he's ever played in as well? I think it might be. I know he played in Buffalo last year.
I think the Chargers-Baltimore playoff game a couple years ago was super cold. Remember that? Yeah, I think Lamar obviously didn't have a very good game in that game.
That's when they lost, and the Chargers used a deployment of like six linebackers or six DBs rather and got rid of some D linemen. Yeah, I don't know that it will be the coldest because I do think that the game time temps are going to be around like 35 to 36.
It's going to feel a little bit colder. And then it's just a matter of whether or not there is moisture in the air and whether it ends up coming down as rain or a little bit of snow or some mix therein.
But I don't think it will be his coldest but he's already talking about it so you know he's thinking about it yeah that game was that game had a pretty big wind gusts and was i'm looking at it right now that was where everybody was like do we put joe flack it wasn't yeah it wasn't that cold but it was it wasn't like nice out i just want to say one thing about buffalo last week so buffalo last week, one big thing that's not getting as much attention that should get more attention is Buffalo's average starting field position in the first half of that game. Like it or not, you know, before I started talking to different guys around the league, I just wanted offensive coordinators to, even if they're backed up on their 10 or their 15 or their just call some call what they need to call like to move the ball call the most efficient stuff anyways but there is an extreme tendency it's hard to call the best stuff it's hard to call all these creative plays down there backed up where you know that a small mistake will result in immediate points for the other team and look at where buffalo starts this game last week in the first half against the Indianapolis Colts.
They have drives starting at their own three-yard line, four-yard line, six-yard line, 11-yard line, and 15-yard line. And that's it.
That's their entire offensive series in the first half of the game. They marched two of those drives, 85 yards and I think 96 yards down for touchdowns, which takes a lot of the clock to do and is very difficult to do.
But for the most part, they're staying backed up and they're giving the Colts good field position. And the Colts, if they called better plays offensively, if Frank Wright was a little bit more aggressive in certain situations, I think that they end up scoring more points.
So I'm not going to sit here and say like, well, the Bills should have won by an even larger margin because the Colts made some mistakes offensively. They had a good field position.
They didn't take advantage of it themselves. But I do think that right now the thought process of Buffalo is, man, they probably should have lost that game last week to the Colts.
And then the thought process of the Ravens is like, man, they had a really good game down in Tennessee. They were able to exercise the demons, so to speak.
Lamar won his first game. They were able to stomp on the logo and get revenge.
But I do sit here and question, like John Harbaugh says that that was his favorite game, his best win of his entire coaching career. I don't know if you guys heard.
He said his best win of his entire right? Like that, that particular win. And you're playing one of the worst defenses in the entire NFL.
The Titans have one of the worst defenses. And, but for like that Lamar pass play where he drops back and then scrambles for 50 plus yards, like incredible run scoring that massive touchdown.
What really does your offense do the entire game? And you had a lot of help on the other side of the ball because of Arthur Smith, and this is something I've been saying on your show each time that I come on and we talk about the Titans, stop running the ball on first downs in the first quarter of the game. I know you love Derrick Henry, but when the defense is stacking the box and you're not having efficient gains on those run plays, adjust, throw the football, use some play action,

then go back to the run later.

And he came out on 10, Arthur Smith did,

the office coordinator for the Titans,

on 10 first downs in the first half

and ran the ball on eight of them.

And they were getting like 2.7 yards per carry or something.

And the Ravens, you look at the next gen stats,

they were stacking the box on those plays

and the Titans never adjusted.

So I think the Bills will adjust.

You can guarantee Brian Dayball is going to adjust

Thank you. next-gen stats.
They were stacking the box on those plays, and the Titans never adjusted. So, I think the Bills will adjust.
You can guarantee Brian Dayball is going to adjust to whatever Wink throws at him. I think it's going to be a fascinating game.
It's really hard to pick a winner. I can tell you sharp action has been on both sides of this game.
When the line opened a little bit higher, they grabbed Baltimore. When the line got down to like minus one and a half, they grabbed buffalo they laid it with buffalo so there's a couple of really really sharp groups with a lot of storied success in the sports betting like the the part of the space that i live in like behind the scenes that are on opposing fronts on this game um so we actually had andrew hawkins on the show as well we're gonna we have we always do two guests on friday so we talked a ton about the Browns and Chiefs.
So let's skip that game and go to Bucs-Saints. I love the Bucs.
Tell me why I'm either an idiot or I'm the smartest man alive and my bet on the Bucs is going to win. Well, can I ask you a question? Yeah.
How much of Tom Brady catching points is factoring into the reason why you like the Bucs here? No, it's actually that I don't believe in the Saints, and I think Drew Brees is very limited. And more than anything, I think if you look at the Bucs' season, the first half of the season trying to figure things out, the second half when they had that little blip where they close game to the Giants, get killed by the Saints, lose to the Chiefs, Allie Marpett's out for all those games, one of the best guards in the game.
And I think that that changes, that shifts it to me, where the Bucs will have a lot more success protecting Tom Brady. And at that point, he can slice you up any which way.
Well, I think that if you like the Bucs in this game you have to like them for one of two reasons the first reason is you think Breeze and the Saints are toast you think that they're kind of done his arm strength is done um the best of his career has come and gone and now he's in the twilight and this isn't going to work out well so you either you either think that they're going to be inefficient against the Bucs defense, which the Bucs defense ranks pretty well, but really is susceptible. So you got to feel like the Saints aren't going to be able to take advantage of that this go around.
Or you have to think that the Tampa Bay Bucs, something has changed either personnel wise, like you said with Marpet or or strategic wise, the strategy of the attack, because they obviously had no success in the first couple of games against these guys. And so what I did is I went back and I looked at.
It's rare that a team wins twice against the same opponent in the same season. It doesn't happen very often.
When it did happen, when the first team won, like let's pretend it's a divisional matchup. That's what all these games are.
We're not talking about the playoffs yet. We're just talking about regular season only.
Team A wins the first game. Then they play the same opponent again later that season, divisional rematch, and team A wins again.

So they swept them. Typically, when you play and win the second game against the opponent, you win by higher margin than you did the first go-around.
And why would that be? Even though that on average only like 55% of the time, will there be a sweep? Will the first team be able to win the second game? Like I said, it's very difficult to do. but the 45% of the time,

or sorry,

the 55% of the time that it does happen,

you win by higher margin. And the reason is probably because you've got inherent matchup edges against that opponent.
You're just better. I mean, football, at the end of the day, it comes down to the X's and O's and the Jimmy's and the Joe's.
It comes down to the players lining up against one another and the strategy that the coach is using. And in some cases, a combination of those two things or one more than the other ends up factoring into the outcomes of games where certain teams just don't match up well with one another.
We're talking a very low sample, very small sample size, but I want to share the results here. When a team sweeps its opponent and then plays them for a third time in the playoffs, and I went back to 1990 to look at instances of this, and there's only been 17 instances where that has happened, and the team that swept their opponent won 13 of those 17 games in the third meeting, the third meeting of the season, the one that was in the postseason.
If it was beyond the wild card round, they won five of six. And they won by pretty large margins.
And it, again, speaks to the fact that this one team may just have this inherent matchup edge or coaching advantage, personnel advantage over their opponent, which you can say, oh, everything you want. Well, we don't want to get swept by them.
We don't want to lose a third time. We're going to make all these adjustments, which is helpful.
When you lose a game, you tend to make more adjustments when you play that same team. Again, team that wins says, let's just do the same stuff.
So there are things that do benefit you, but sometimes you might just be outmatched. And that's what I'm trying to figure out here is, are the saints just a better matchup against the bucks and will the bucks or will the bucks have any hope of success? Because when you guys look at the saints defense, you'll see that they rank top five in defensive efficiency, but then you go down and you look at the opposing offenses that they played.
Look at any team that ranked above average that the Saints have played this year besides the Bucs. The Chiefs, they gave up 32 points.
The Vikings, they gave up 33. The Panthers, they gave up 24 in the first meeting.
The Raiders, they gave up 34. The Chargers, 27.
And the Lions, 29.. We're talking about 24 plus points to all of these teams with just above average offenses, not the best of the best,

just above average. The Bucs obviously are an above average offense.
They're better than that.

They're one of the best that we have in the NFL. Will they be able to produce like these other

guys have done or is the matchup just so much in favor based upon the way that these teams physically line up against one another that they're not going to have as much success? It's a tough game. I mean, I'll just tell you that it is a tough game to bet.
Yeah. So in terms of this matchup and the coaches in particular, you find something about like every coaching matchup that you tend to get upset about sometimes on Twitter.
this guy should have been doing this he did this all season and he's doing it again right now and it's costing his team in terms of Bruce Arians or Sean Payton is there what do you get pissed off about when it comes to those coaches is there one thing in particular that's like a pet peeve with those guys a hundred percent this season with Bruce Arians and Byron Lothwich because I think they're both working on the offense. I think Byron is actually the one calling in the plays, but it's some of Bruce's philosophies in there as well.
And it's their run rate on first downs, on early downs. I mean, I will just tell you this.
The Bucs got lucky that they had success running the football last week against Washington because they called a very high rate of run plays in that game. Maybe they were trying to keep Tom Brady away from the pressure, ended up not having as much pressure.
Their O-line did a very good job. They should have been throwing the football a little bit more often.
But I looked back at the first like 13 games of the season for Tampa Bay, and they had one of the higher run rates in the NFL and above average run rate and the worst production on these runs in on first downs in the first half of games, literally number 32 in the NFL yards per carry on run plays. They had their bye week.
They play Minnesota out the bye. You remember that game, the poor old Minnesota kicker shanks a bunch of field goals, and the Bucs end up winning that game by a margin,

but the game was a little bit closer than that, but for those misses.

They come back their last three games of the regular season,

Tampa does, against the Falcons twice and the Detroit Lions,

and they go 68% pass on these first down plays in the first half of games.

I'm like, oh, my God, they turned a corner.

This is what we want.

Why the hell did you bring Tom Brady to Tampa?

You bring them to the world. on these first down plays in the first half of games.
I'm like, oh my God, they turned a corner. This is what we want.

Why the hell did you bring Tom Brady to Tampa?

You bring him to Tampa so that you can manage him.

You hand off the Leonard Fournette so that you get a Byron Lefkowitz running the show

and deciding what ends up happening with this team.

No, that's not why you bring Tom Brady

and Antonio Brown and Rob Gronkowski

and all these pieces.

You do it because you love Tom Brady.

You think he's the key to get you over the hump. He's gives you the best chance to win games.
They came out last week. And if you go back and look at the film or just look at the data, they ran the ball on 58% of their first downs in the first half of the game.
Way too high of a run rate once again. And I just feel like if they come into this game with a too high of a run rate on these first down plays, they could say whatever they want in terms of their reasoning.
We're doing it to protect Tom Brady from the pass rush, or we just think it's a good game plan to be balanced. Whatever the reasoning is, the Saints have a much better run defense than Washington does.
And those runs have a lower likelihood of seeing the success that they had last week. And that's going to be meaning more situations where Tom Brady is going to have to convert on third downs.
Against Washington, he converted, I want to say, at a 60% clip at the beginning part of that game, averaged 10.8 yards per pass attempt. It's going to be very difficult for him to replicate those numbers against the New Orleans Saints defense.
So bigger than anything to me, well, that's the pet peeve I have about Bruce Arians and Byron Lefkowitz. It's, this is the playoffs.
This is a game against Drew Brees, a team that you've played twice and lost to twice. Tom Brady goes out on his shield in this game, in my opinion.
Let Tom Brady throw the damn ball on first down. We will win or lose because of Tom Brady, not because Byron Lefkowitz is a play calling genius, right? That all of a sudden, oh my God, it's Byron Lefkowitz.
He figured it all out. No.
Tom Brady wins or loses this game. Let's not take that opportunity away from him by running Leonard Fournette too much.
On the other side, it's very simple. It's just one man.
It's one man that bothers me. And that's his usage of our old quarterback friend from BYU.
I just don't understand the affinity that he has to Taysom Hill. And when he trots him in and throws off the game plan and the timing of it, I mean, if they bring him in in the red zone against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and he botches the play in some capacity, I mean, I'm just going to lose my mind because I don't think the upside is there with Taysom Hill being involved in this offense.
I would much rather have Drew Brees and Alvin Kamara either passing or running or throw it to Alvin Kamara rather than mixing in Taysom Hill. Now, I hope to God if I was backing the Saints here, that Taysom Hill scores a bunch of touchdowns.
I don't care at that point. If my money's on the Saints, I want him to do well.
But if he screws things up in this game, then that's on Sean Payton more than anybody else. Counterpoint, it's fun when he comes to the game.
When Taysom Hill comes in and just runs face first into a linebacker, that's fun to watch. And maybe it's fun for his teammates too.
Maybe his teammates are like, that was pretty fucking cool when Taysom just put his head into that guy's shoulder pads and now he's going to be out for another 15 plays until we see him again. Maybe his teammates are like, that's fun.
Let's have fun on the next play. Then they score a touchdown from Drew Brees.
It is fun. It is fun.
Warren, admit that it's fun. Just say it.
It's unexpected. You don't know.
I think the viewer, I will give you this. If you think it's fun to raise the level of variance on any outcome of a play such that it could be a boom, bust, or a highlight, then yes.
Then that's what you're going to get when you trot him out there and we don't really know what we're going to get. It could be great.
It could be terrible. It could be a nice collision.
He could hurdle some dude. Yeah.
I guess that's fun. Perfect.
The Jameis Winsher. I've come around.
That's the Sabre method that we have wrapped around that. All right.
Well, Warren, thank you as always. At Sharp Football.
What? I have one last question. Yeah.
Are there any props that you're fired up about? I want to lay some money on some props this weekend. Feels like a good prop weekend.
I think it should be a good prop weekend. Just give us one.
Okay, I'll give you two. And they're tight ends, and we love talking about heavy personnel and tight ends with you guys.
I like Travis Kelsey. I think he's going to have a really big game against Cleveland Browns linebackers.
And you guys covered that game in detail before. And I also like Mark Andrews.
We talked about him before. I think he's going to have a big game as well.
So Mark Andrews and Travis Kelsey should have some success here. Love it.
All right. Well, thank you, Warren.
Hopefully those hit so everyone can say thank you on Twitter. You're the best.
We appreciate it, man. And we'll talk soon.
Thanks, guys. Best weekend of the year for football.
I can't wait. Yes.

All right, Fire Fest of the week.

Let's do it, boys.

Let's finish the week strong.

Hank, start us off.

So this one's pretty serious. As you guys know, it, boys.
Let's finish the week strong. Hank, start us off.
So this one's pretty serious.

As you guys know, it's winter here in New York.

It's cold outside.

Don't say you're depressed or some shit like that.

Even worse, big cat.

Dude, just exercise.

The zipper on my jacket broke.

Oh!

Way worse than depression.

Way worse.

Yeah, that's worse. And it's like it just fell off.
And do I have to bring my whole coat to get thick? Do I have to get a new coat? Yeah, you got to go to it. Or do I have to go through the process of bringing my coat in? No buttons, obviously.
No buttons. You're going to have to drop your coat off at the coat guy and then walk out with your JV coat.
And then walk in the cold with that. And then walk back to pick your coat up.
And I just donated, we put in, there's like a hundred starter jackets in the pile. The barstool fund.
But those are gone. You can buy them now.
I think you had like six Patriots jackets that gave away. I saw a TikTok how to fix that, like actually.
Oh right. Find that, and I'll just bring it in on Sunday.
We'll do it. You saw a TikTok firefest solved.
No, seriously. TikTok actually pre-algorithms you.
Yeah. It's like Tenet.
They knew Billy was going to talk about this today. Spoilers, man.
So they showed it to him. I don't think that's a spoiler.
I don't even... I don't know the movie well enough to spoil it.
I've perfected my TikTok feed to just give me the most useful information ever. Oh, nice.
Here's my Tenet review. I haven't seen it yet.
Here's my review. I don't know what the fuck I just watched.
Yep. But I'm a little bit creeped out, but I'm not sure if I'm totally creeped out.
There you go. That's Tenet.
Nutshell. Yeah, I know.
Everyone's been talking about it, and I actually, like, they haven't been able to spoil it because they're like, I don't understand it. Yeah.
I thought I was following. It's really long in, like, the first few hours.
How long is think it's like two and a half hours. I think I'm there.
Then the last hour, I was like, I have truly no idea. Tenant, what? How are we still talking about what? Zippers.
We're talking about zippers. How did we get to Tenant? Because you got preconceived into watching a TikTok video.
I just don't get it. Billy, I would say, yeah, don't watch Tenet if you couldn't even follow along that one-minute conversation about not understanding Tenet.
I know, but I don't understand how he got on the- Right. So don't watch Tenet.
Yeah, we get it. We'll never see him again.
Actually, Billy would get so woke off, didn't it? It'd paralyze himself. I would love to hear your review.
Billy would just get mad. Let's do it, Billy.
You'd get mad at your television. You've poisoned me into being confused.
PFT, what's your fire fest? My fire fest is I'm kind of addicted to Warzone. Ooh, that's not a fire fest.
That's fucking badass. No, it's a fire fest.
Have you ever been addicted to something that you're really, really bad at? Reading. Watching the Bears.
Watching the Bears. Reading, too.
I'm addicted to reading, but I can't do it. Yeah, you're a big reader.
Big cats and big. No, but I can't do it.
What do you mean? Like, I can't read. Because once you start, you know that you'll just read all the time.
I'm such a bookworm. And you'll never do anything.
Right. Yeah.
So I play a lot. I've started to play, like, almost every night.
We've been doing these streams with Billy, with Hank, with Aaron Rybkowski, with a lot of people. And I'm so bad, I can't follow along what's going on.
Occasionally I stumble my way ass backwards into a kill. But it's so painful to really enjoy doing something that makes you not enjoy it as you're doing it.
But all you gotta do is win once. That's video games, right? I'm years away.
Years away from winning an entire Warzone. You're playing in diamond lobbies with Rip.
Rip is really good. Hank is now doing a big eye roll at Billy.
No, but he'd have more fun in a bronze lobby. Well, no.
I'm also playing by myself. I'm also doing solos, and I still stink in that.
Occasionally, I'll hide in a sniper tower and just be a coward and pick a couple people off and get lucky. But I'm so bad at it, but I can't stop playing it.
I mean, this is like my Firefest from quarantine. Although it's not a Firefest, but I have...
You're good at it, though. No, I'm bad, but I was likeft for the first few months then once you once you at least know how to play i'm getting nerfed i'm getting nerfed uh but i've yeah i mean call of duty like i've become i just like i i used to always like scoff at the people that were like at the office like watching streams and stuff like i'll just if i like if we're working or whatever and it's late like i'll just turn on a stream like watch a youtube video.
It's like sports. It's like sports.
It's like sports. It's like sports.
Get better. And I don't know all the lingo because people have been using the slang terms that I don't understand because they've been playing the game for like three years.
That's actually just a problem that I have in general where I get into trends years after they're already popular. Yeah, you need to wait.
I missed the boat on this Call of Duty. I'm going to try to hop back in on maybe the next one.
Because you've got to get there early. Right.

Otherwise, you're fucked. Remember when I was trying to

talk to you guys about Game of Thrones like six months ago?

Yeah, we do. I mean, I just

started wearing JNCO jeans within the

last couple years, so I'm considerably

late to most things, but it's just

tough because I want to get better, but I also

suck at it. Keep at it.
It sucks

while I'm doing it, but I don't understand why.

Yeah, that's it. That's video games.
They're frustrating as hell, but when you get that win. All right, my Fyre Fest.
Well, the entire Bears organization, but I don't even want to waste my breath on that. They're just fucking incompetent morons.
They literally are keeping everyone hired because they work well together. Not because they're good, but they work well together.
That was actually what they said. That's cool, though.
They have a good time at work. Hang with the boys.
Collaboration is what Ted Phillips said 17 times. You only get one life.
You might as well do it with people that you like hanging out with. I'll tell you what.
I'll say something nice about the Bears organization. George McCaskey and Ted Phillips are elite at answering their own questions.
Did we figure out the quarterback position? No, not really. That's it.
That's like their whole thing. I mean, I did.
Do we want to win more? Yeah. I love that quote when they said, you know, we've done a pretty good job at everything except for finding a quarterback and winning games.
And winning games. They've been over 500 once in the last eight years.
That's crazy because I feel like, well, that also might be misleading because I feel like the Bears have been exactly 500 many times. They have been twice.
Yeah. But they suck.
It's a bad franchise. It's a bad, it's an ugly eight-year.
And I'm excited for next year whenever they draft. They're probably Mack Jones.
Give me McCorkle. But my real fire fest is I had the moment after Monday night we have seven games left.
Seven football games left. Right.
Seven football games left. Once you get down to seven, it really kind of hits you, and you're like, ooh, this.
Because I've just been all week. I think I even said when we're sitting at our desks on Tuesday at 2 o'clock, I was like, PFT, I'm ready for the divisional round like i was ready right then that was when it hit me like let's play these games right now i'm just thinking about the fact that uh yeah it's it's sad it's sad so cherish it cherish cherish the memories we've made and uh the last seven games live in the moment over the weekend because we're gonna have to wait all wait all the way until the end of February to get more football.
Yes. Billy.
Division two. I can't stop pissing.
Why? Because I keep drinking so much water. Dude, but you're a weapon.
I know. You know what Billy told me earlier today? What did you think of Jose's videos, Billy? Loser.
I'm going to fucking kick his ass. Yeah.
No, like seriously. Like straight up.
Straight up. So when you watch those videos, what was your thought? I've been sparring with dudes who are much more dangerous than Jose Canseco.
You're winning the spars? Well, I'm putting up a fight. I mean, I started boxing a month ago.
Not winning. You're going to kick his ass.
I'm going to fuck him up. No, yeah, you are.
Dude, I've hit the point in my athlete to weapon transition where it's like,

if I'm going to, the only way to win and to get this guy to stop punching me

is I have to punch him harder to make him quit.

Yeah.

Right.

So he doesn't punch me.

I think you just have to go.

Exactly.

What's funny is Billy's 100% right, but he totally believes that he's found this secret to boxing, and once he'll attach himself onto that, you can actually do it. When it becomes that simple for you, Jose Canseco is going to be in a lot of trouble.
Well, if it gets into your reptile brain, that means no matter what, it's going to be functioning. Guess what, Jose? Billy just figured out boxing.
Bad news for you, bro. Yeah.
You're dead. It's going to be so funny to see Jose Canseco in West Virginia.
Just trying to, like, get around. I actually doubt that Jose Canseco will be able to get from the airport to his hotel, then to the venue.
Like, he doesn't know how to get around there. No.
He's probably going to try to drive his shitty-ass Camaro, get salt all over the tires. Fuck it up like a moron.
Probably still owes money on it. Jake, do you have a fire fest? You lost to Hank in ping pong.
No, he was the better player. Oh, but you did lose to him.
Yeah, I did. That's not your fire fest? No, I need your advice.
You took your tie off. I'm starting to get some visible gray hairs.
Let me see. On my side.
Where, Jake? Nah, not enough. Whoa, Billy.
Jake's been zoomed up close. No, dude.
That's good for you. It totally depends.
It totally depends. If it evens out everywhere, go with it.
My problem is I have them just on my temples. So just, yeah, let it go.
I'm sure Bubba got a nice zoom in there. Hank's got them too.
I think that's good for Jake though, isn't it? Like being a real big J. Yeah.
You will look older. You'll get better jobs.
I would actually dye my hair. I miss one.
No. Of course not.
You've had better jobs than I realized that's such a cell phone. Yeah.
Dude, you'll actually be with real professionals, not like us. So I might need to borrow some guys on the road.
Are you saying that Marty Mush isn't a respected college basketball compensator? Rico Bosco. No, I think it's good for you, and I don't want to go back to ping pong, but I need to discuss a little bit because I haven't heard all the details.
You took your tie off. To me, that's the bigger stain on your legacy is you kind of disrespected Stoolstream Stadium by taking the tie off.
Did you give it to Hank

like Jim Nance? No. I mean, he

deserves it, but I didn't formally give it to him.

Yeah, it's just weird that you took...

I don't like it, Jake.

You look naked. You look nude out there

without your tie on. Agreed.

Agreed. We'll see.
Alright.

100.

8. A group of frogs

are called... 18.

What did you say, Liam? I said 11. 8.
11. 43.
A group of frogs is called an army. I saw that on UberFacts today as well.
24. R.I.P.
Kobe. Yeah.
R.I.P. Love you guys.
Also, Gritcoin is inflating at an unsustainable rate right now,

so I'm having to control the outflow of it.

You know what I should do?

I should start issuing negative Gritcoins to people.

Love you guys. All right.
No. I'll be coming for your lover.
Take on me. Take me on.
I'll be gone. And I'll be on you.
Needless to say. I'm all the said is.
But I need some real weight. I'm all the same But I need to Roll it away Fully learning that life is okay Stay up to me I feel better to be safe I'm sorry Stay up to me I feel better to be safe I'm sorry Stay up to me I feel better to be safe I'm sorry Stay up to me I I feel better to be safe than so.

Stay up to me.

I feel better to be safe than so.

Take on me.

And I feel too. I'll be gone.
