16th. Week 10.
Wop! Wop! Wop! Wop! Wop! We start in the swamps of New Jersey where Boston the Saw Scott turned up field and tripped into the end zone. Carson Wentz's Diana had tunnel vision.

Too soon, boom.

And Daniel Indiana Jones scrambled as if a boulder was on his heels.

New York may have a deal with the devil,

getting back into the NFC East race as Darius Hale Slayton and the G-Men are just a half game out of first at 3-7.

Huh?

Giants 27, Eagles 17. WAP! WAP! WAP! WAP! To the frozen tundra where Jake Vladimir Luton spent more time complaining about passing interference than rushing interference.
The take continues for Jacksonville as Marquez Exxon Valdez Scantling spilled into the end zone on a 78-yard touchdown pass. A win is a win.
As David Bakhtiari and the Packers move to 7-2. The Green Bay Packers 24.
The Jacksonville Jaguars 20. In Carolina, where Teddy Bridgewater-Lose had the Panthers trying to sneak in an underdog win.
JPP used all seven of his fingers for an interception, and he'll be rating the game. Film a full 1.5 thumbs up.
That's had a 1.5, boom. DJ Morrigan trailed, survived the broken wheel route in horse cholera, but the Panthers cocked the wagon, and this season looks sunk.
Rob Gronkowski, skeet motherfuckers was catching balls from the windows to the wall

till the sweat drips off Ryan Jensen's balls.

All you bitches crawl.

Bucks 46, Panthers 23.

To Cleveland, where the weather was pretty chill,

also known as the Blake Effect.

A Cleveland win was a Sherlock

as my dear Watson played elementary. Kareem Hunter S.
Thompson was gonzo with a mind-blowing game out of the shotgun, rushing for 104 yards, and they call him Dick Chubb because he fucked over the Browns battered when he chose to step out of bounds on the last play of the game. The Browns 10.
Some spread in Detroit where Terry the Cable Guy McLaurin almost got her done and somehow this game was on TV even though neither of these teams are Foxworthy they call me Prater Salad won this game for the Honolulu Blue Collar Comedy Tour and on the other side of the ball Antonio Mel Gibson played with a brave heart disemboweling Lions defense for two scores, but it wasn't enough for the football team as they fall to 2-7. Lions, 30.
Washington football team, 27. In Miami, where we were expecting a lot of handoffs from Justin to Kelly, but the real American Idol was every kiss begins with Kalen Balazs, who threw his

hat in the ring and asked for a handoff in marriage. The Dolphins offense disturbed the Chargers defense as two, two, ah, ah, ah, threw two touchdowns with a sickness.
Solving cool clock, I'm going to want to bring that touchdown ball to the White House as the Chargers continue to bomb. Dolphins 29, the Chargers 21.
down to the desert where Cole

Pam Beasley the receptionist was

pretty fly for a Dwight guy as the Bills get beat in a shootout. Buffalo Bill O'Brien really wishing the Texans never traded DeAndre Anthony Hopkins as a wide receiver.
Ate the Bills liver with some fava beans and a nice candy. In a touching tribute to my good friend, the Pope, the Arizona conclave of Cardinals, smash that like button when it looked like they wanted a spanking.
Cardinals 32, Bills 30. In Las Vegas, where Jerry, hey, Judy, don't make it bad, take a sad team, lose to the Raiders.
Remember to let you lock into your heart. Then he will start to throw it better.
Truth or Darren Waller asked Derek Carr, do you like me? Like, like me, like me? Like more than a friend? And Devontae Corey Booker scored two touchdowns in his new jersey. And the life of the Broncos season was sucked out of them like Devontae Devin Booker in a hotel room with his new jersey and the life of the broncos season was sucked out of them like devante devin booker in a hotel room with his teammates and the raiders got ahead in the playoff race the raiders 37 the broncos 12 you're gonna die boom you're gonna Every man dies, not every man.
Truly grumps. Standing on a corner, Jameis Winston down in Nola.
Drew Brees is breaking his ribs. While Jameis is doing the...
We didn't do this right. Yeah.
What are we... Maybe I wrote this wrong?

Hang on, let's see. Hold on, we gotta do this again.

James Winston down low.

Should we stop this video?

You left out such a fine sight to see.

Ah, such a fine sight to see.

Dubriz is breaking his ribs while James is doing the twist.

Fresh off Lasik surgery.

We just forgot.

I just forgot to write down such a fine sight to see.

All right, ready?

We can do it with...

We can do acapella. Ready?

We're gonna go... Yeah, let's do acapella.

Yeah, we got it. We got this.
Ready?

Standing on a corner,

Jameis Winston down in

Ola, such a fine side

breaking his ribs while Jameis

doing the twist. Fresh off

LASIK surgery. Niners are losers.
Stay out of Ubers. And away from college, girl.
Better stick to Cougars. Sights go marching.

Okay, week 10 in the books. The Ravens are frauds confirmed.
Well, well, they fought a monsoon, but so did the Patriots. They did.
They both had to play in the same weather. It did get me thinking, would it be illegal for the Patriots to install a weather machine or some sort of cloud seating operation? Like, is it actually against the NFL rules? If you just had a giant sprinkler system that you installed outside of your stadium and just shot water into the sky? It looked like it.
It looked like it during that game. This is just Belichick doing the Jacoby Myers, Julian Edelman impression was just so vintage Belichick.
And I don't know what to say about the Ravens. I think Ravens fans are probably freaking out right now.
Yeah, they have a ton of injuries, but I don't know. You're a better team than the Patriots as of right now.
The Patriots have struggled this year. They had to do everything in the world to make sure they won that game against the Jets on Monday Night Football.
And they come back, and they kind of just ran it down their throat. They did the Ravens to the Ravens.
It was a classic Belichick game where he knew it's actually very easy for Belichick to game plan against the Ravens, I think, because he knows what they're going to do. He knows exactly how to take away some of their strengths on offense.
And then, yeah, they dipped into their bag of tricks a little bit. I read that Julian Edelman has actually been working with the Patriots on how to teach their wide receivers to throw passes.
Perfect. So that's a nice little fun wrinkle.
Also, in the article that I read about that, they made sure to mention that Julian Edelman is coming back from a standard precautionary exploratory knee procedure. Just a little cleanup.
Which was a cleanup. But, Hank, you have to be feeling pretty good.
Like, season back on? Season very much back on. I'm looking at it now.
It's like, you know, a couple – they could have beat the Seahawks. They could have beat the Bills.
They could be 6-3 right now instead of 4-5. Well, that's not going to help them at the end, but yeah.
No, but like as the team overall, as a team, like they are better than their record is to me. You are what your record says you are.
You are what your record says you are. Okay, then the Giants? They are right now.
Almost in first place in the NFC East. In the NFC East, correct.
Correct. So you're all in? You think that the Patriots are going to make the playoffs? You're all the way back in.
I have never wavered from the Patriots making the playoffs, and I still think that. There wasn't one moment? No.
I remember last week I was like, is it crazy that I still think the Patriots are going to make the playoffs? Yeah, I guess you did say that. It is crazy that they, like if you're looking at the stats, they did out-raven the Ravens.
Damian Harris, they ran the ball down the Ravens' throat. When you thought going into this game the Ravens would be able to do that to the Patriots because the Patriots' defense looks terrible,

and then they're able to make enough plays and make Lamar Jackson make enough plays,

which that one scramble was insane

when he just had a million seconds to throw and then scrambled.

But still, I don't know what the Ravens are now.

The one thing we can be sure of out of this game

is that Damon Harris is so good at running back for the Patriots

that I'm sure he will be completely out of the game plan within five weeks. The Patriots, they find guys that are destined to be their next superstar.
And then I'm sure Sonny Michel will come back. And like, I don't know, three weeks from now, Sonny Michel will have like 17 carries for 160 yards in the game.
And we'll all have forgotten about Damien Harris. Maybe not.
Damien Harris is good, but for whatever reason, they just never find...

The Patriots have never had a guy in their

backfield that they just stick with

week in and week out since Corey Dillon.

Yeah, Matthew Berry's just

cursing at the clouds.

You are right, Hank. I'm looking at it right now.

The bottom out was obviously the 49ers game,

which was abysmal, but

they played the Bills tough. They covered that spread.

They played the Chiefs tough-ish without Cam Newton. The Broncos game was weird as well they shouldn't have lost that one but their schedule i don't know it is they have they have the bills and dolphins and the rams but the bills and the dolphins are not the bills and the dolphins anymore i know but for this season like those games are going to be the season i actually would say the season is is going to be whether, as long as you don't slip up, if you can go two and one in the Cardinals, Chargers, Rams trip, those three games, you got to go two and one.
And that might be, that's a tough three games. Because, you know, the Rams are very good, the Cardinals are good, and the Chargers, who the fuck knows with the Chargers.
So I would say that the season probably comes down to that before the Dolphins, Bills, and Jets. Either way, yeah, I don't know what the Ravens do.
They're just like... I think their defense is a lot different when they don't have Calais Campbell.
Right, but it also goes back to what we were talking about on Friday when Lamar Jackson said, oh yeah, Greg Roman's offense, the defense defense is calling out plays and they're missing guys on the offensive line. And, uh, you know, it, it doesn't look the same as last year, but that's kind of what happened with Kaepernick's offense and Greg Roman in San Francisco.
It, it, it was awesome. It was, it was, it was new.
It was revolutionary. And then it slowed down a little bit.
There are only so many wrinkles you can put into that offense.

Right. I also think, I mean, just

the whole chaotic situation of the weather tonight

definitely favored the Patriots.

Bill Belichick. Really? Yeah, yeah.

Because you can run the ball if you're the Ravens.

You should be able to run the ball if you're the Ravens. When Belichick

starts looking like he's on the deadliest catch

on the sidelines, that's when you know that he, like,

the more uncomfortable he feels, he

can, like, put that out of his own head and be like, the more uncomfortable I feel, I know the other guy feels way more uncomfortable. Yeah, I get that.
I just, I still feel like the Ravens should be able to run the ball. Maybe I'm thinking of last year's Ravens.
Tough weekend for Harbaugh's. Yes, very tough weekend for Harbaugh's.
Also, we should at least mention our guy Tommy Lasorda. Hopefully he gets better.
He's in the hospital. If mean, he'll be okay, we think.
Yes. Hopefully.
2020 just end already. Yeah, fuck you, 2020.
Fuck you. Okay, let's get to the rest of the slate.
Patriots are back, Hank. Congratulations.
Did you take a money line? I did. That a boy.
Bailout special. That's fucking beautiful.
Well, you're responsible gambling, so no bailout. Correct.
Right. Let's get to the rest of the games.
Week 10, the weird, weird five and six, whatever. I'm over it.
It was unusual. It was unusual.
You know what it felt like? It was like my body had a full another week of daylight savings time when I wasn't sure what time it was all day today because there was football on every single TV. I was trying to figure out how like what my my body was going through when we were watching the one o'clock games and it didn't feel like it was ramped up and I finally halfway through it I realized it and I said it to you it felt like in week 17 when they do all the games that have playoff implications at 4 15 and all the games that don't at one o'clock so it felt like because we knew we had rams and seahawks and we knew we had cardinals and bills and we knew we had all these games coming and we're like all right let's just get rid of this slate which wasn't great but whatever it had a couple moments but we'll hop into it so it's texansowns was the first game, which was kind of perfect because we were having five games early, and then this one got delayed.
It was delayed 40 minutes, but I feel like it was over before all the other ones, and that's just because the Browns basically said, we're going to put our balls in your throat, and we're just going to hand the ball off a million times because it was like a hurricane. Did you see the videos inside the stadium? It was crazy.
It was like a hurricane before the game even kicked off. I, so my take is I think if you're a Browns fan now, it's been ugly and they're sitting what? Six and three now, six and three, six and three, six and three, a game that they kind of had to win, even though it's not a must win, but it was kind of a must win.
But I think if you're a Browns fan, you're sitting here on Monday and being like, I think God is a Browns fan now. Because God, who decides the weather obviously, keeps doing the worst possible weather in Cleveland on game days and forcing the Browns to run the football.
Yes. God is literally your best offensive coordinator.
He's saying, do not throw it a million times. Run the rock.
Run the rock. Run the rock.
You have Wyatt Teller back. You have Nick Chubb back.
Run the ball down their throats and do it again. And they did that in the second half, and they won.
Yeah, Hugh Jackson, if he was a better Christian, I think God would have stepped in and intervened a couple years ago and been like, hey, I know you keep looking for ways to hand the ball off to Nick Chubb more often. How about we just play every game in a torrential downpour of sleet with lightning hitting the end zones? Sideways rain, braille.
I mean, the Browns are kind of built to win ugly. Yes.
They are the old-school exotic smash-mouth team that the Titans wanted to be a few years ago. If they have Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb just getting fed the ball the entire game, they're going to be able to put up yards.
They both had over 100 yards rushing. Yep.
And remember I said on Friday, since Wyatt Teller, their guard, who's one of the best guards in the NFL, and Nick Chubb went out, they have not been able to run the ball. And they didn't have a rushing touchdown in the four games that they were out.
They had a rushing touchdown in this game, which basically was the win because it was a 10-7 game. And then a special fuck you to Nick Chubb on behalf of anyone who took the Browns minus three and a half, minus four, minus four and a half, somewhere around there, for him to go out of bounds.
I don't know what it is about Georgia running backs in late-game situations. He didn't really have to do that.
Well, if he was going to go down, you might as well take a knee and go down inbounds and keep the clock running. Yeah, teasing everyone.
The way that he went out of bounds, he was like, I'm trying to do the right thing. And it is the most Nick Chubb move ever because he really doesn't ever talk or say anything to get recognition.
So he's getting all the recognition for doing something that most players would not do. They'd rather get the touchdown to get the recognition.
He's actually getting talked about more for not scoring that touchdown. Right, right.
So that was an all-time bad beat for – well, I don't know. We'll get to the other bad beat.
This wasn't a really bad beat because you don't expect them to score a touchdown there and cover the spread. It was always kind of a close game.
It was always a shitty game. But the fact that he just stepped out of bounds there, come on, man.
Come on. Just go in.
Go in for everyone. Go in for America.
And I know he said, yeah, like I did it for my teammates. I don't care about stats.
I don't care about this. I care about winning.
Well, you should care because guess what? The people that sit at home and watch and probably bet everyone in Cleveland bets on the Browns you ruined their day I would like to see more Cleveland fans kind of stepping up into the weather like you know that if this weather was happening in Buffalo everybody that would be in the stands would have their shirts off they would like embrace and being like yeah you know what we're tougher than this weather look at me here my nipples they're out they're rock solid in Cleveland everyone just they put on their car heart, and they get doubly bundled up for the games. They don't choose to kind of show off how tough they are in the cold weather.
That's Browns fans. I think that maybe you get a couple more wins under the belt, they'll start to get a little more cocky.
But I am hoping that this trend continues in Cleveland where it's just the grayest days ever. Yeah, God is on your side.
God is your offensive coordinator. It's impossible to get more gray than Cleveland has been in their last two home games.
Yeah. I mean, you basically, the weather is saying, hey, let's both teams play with one hand behind our back.
Guess what? We're better with one hand behind our back because when we use two hands, we're the Browns. We punch ourselves in the face.
That's really what it's coming down to. Exactly.
And Baker, I've noticed, I think he wears three his shoulder pads because they like they they go out at like a 90 degree angle on his chest uh it looks like he's wearing like a push-up bra on his flat jacket that thing is so huge it's he it's it's baker and cam newton all all time uh flat jacket yep yeah all team flat jacket i think i think they just get used to it and they're like you know what i like this i feel like i'm wearing kevlar yeah exactly you feel like you're invincible when you're well and also if you're gonna run the ball what do you need i mean you don't really and they're like, you know what? I like this. I feel like I'm wearing Kevlar.
Yeah, exactly. You feel like you're invincible when you're playing.

Well, and also, if you're going to run the ball, what do you need?

I mean, you don't really need a flak jacket to, you know, like it probably hampers your throwing a little bit. Right.
But if you're going to run it all game, it doesn't really matter. But the Browns are in good shape.
The problem is the Raiders are going to be there at the end, too. If you look at their schedule, like both those teams could go 10 and 6.
Well, it's Ra's raiders titans browns uh dolphins yeah all gonna be fighting for that last spot i think i'm forgetting one i think i might be forgetting a team uh it would be oh well the ravens too maybe and yeah so it's gonna be it's gonna be the titans the browns the raiders and the dolphins that are all angling for that card. Yeah, it's going to be very, very interesting.
So, yeah, and then for the Texans, I don't have anything left for them. Just end the season.
They're in an official just end the season mode. Well, let me ask you this.
You said Raiders? Raiders, yeah. I'm sure we'll get to the new Hopkins catch in a little bit.
I don't trust you without your glasses on. If you're the Texans, hypothetically, would you rather have Bill O'Brien and DeAndre Hopkins or would you rather have no DeAndre Hopkins and no Bill O'Brien moving forward? I'd rather have Bill O'Brien and DeAndre Hopkins.
You'd rather keep Bill O'Brien around. Well, I wouldn't say that those don't necessarily go together.
In this hypothetical, they do. In this hypothetical, I think I'd still want DeAndre.
I think I'm okay with it if I'm a Texans fan, being like, you know what? We had to get rid of the best wide receiver in the NFL. That's not how it works, though.
To get rid of the worst general manager in the NFL. Are you a Texans fan? Oh, I'm not a Texans fan.
That is the biggest bargaining spin zone I've ever heard. Yes, yes.
You know what? Sometimes you've got to cut off your nose to spite your face. No, no, no, no, no.
You've got to cut off your chin to get rid of your shitty coach. I think you could actually make the argument you should have fired Bill O'Brien last year and you wouldn't have had to trade Deion Coppola.
Well, yes, in a realistic scenario, that's probably the outcome that you should have hoped for. Just not be idiots.
But sometimes, you know this, Big Cat, you're a Bears fan. You've dealt with heartbreak before.
You have to go back and spin zone yourself and convince yourself that maybe it's not all bad no that's not the spin zone i would use if i were a texans fan i would just be like well the rockets look like they're keeping things together oh wait no no uh well the astros haven't cheated uh no at least we're not the cowboys yeah that's the spin zone no snow yeah in the winter We just got to, yeah, no snow. We still have J.J.
Watt. Yeah.
All right. Washington football team, Lions.
Weird game because. It's the Lions.
It was, it's the Lions and the Lions somehow gave up a 21 point lead to an Alex Smith offense, which is almost impossible given like what Alex Smith is as a quarterback. By the way, he had career-high completions, attempts, and yards today, which is crazy.
But I just wonder, what does Matt Patricia do? Matt Patricia is a defensive specialist. He won this game.
He won the Super Bowl. He won the Super Bowl, for sure.
But he won this game. And he actually coaches a very entertaining brand of football.
I don't know what brand of football it is. Well, he doesn't coach the defense.
But he coaches in very entertaining games. In fact, if you're making just a power ranking of teams whose games will be interesting to watch, you have to have the Lions on the list.
It's probably like the Chiefs, obviously, in a good way. But I would put the Chiefs, the Lions, the Falcons, and the Chargers as the funnest teams to watch in the NFL, knowing that some crazy shit's going to happen.
Like a 21-point lead. Some sort of heartbreak occur to the Lions franchise.
But honestly, this game should have gone to overtime. Chase Young gave it away.
He admitted, like, I made a rookie mistake because he had that roughing the passer call, which it's always a little concerning right after a game when a rookie says that was just a rookie mistake. Like, I can tell already that I wouldn't have done that next year.
Yeah, two years from now, no chance. You're not going to do that.
But today, I had no problem with hitting Matt Stafford like three seconds after we released the ball.

But, you know, overall, I'd say this worked out pretty well for the Washington football team.

We didn't win.

So either way, if we had won, then we would have been in striking distance of the NFC East.

And now that we lost, we're in striking distance of Justin Fields.

So I'm happy either way.

And it was first half.

It was how the hell have the Washington football team only scored three points against this Detroit Lions defense? And then the second half is like, oh, here's the Detroit Lions defense. They showed up.
They arrived at the game. I also don't understand.
DeAndre Swift got his first start. Turns out he's good.
Which you drafted him because you thought he was good. And then you didn't feature him until week 10.
Again, what does Matt Patricia do? What does he do as a job? He finally realized that Adrian Peterson was like 40 years old. Like, Yundership was really good in this game and why is this his first start? Maybe you could maybe make the argument, the true football guy argument of, well, he was struggling with blitz pickups and he wasn't you know but when when has it ever been a priority for the Detroit Lions to protect Matthew Stafford's health yeah they literally don't even have that on like the list of things to do I don't think you can make that argument with him like he's not on the he doesn't know all the audibles just yet he cuts off routes yeah that's probably the the most honest assessment that you you can make to prevent him from starting at this point.
But yeah, he's good. The Lions defense, to be fair to them, they didn't really give up that last drive to Alex Smith where they drove down the field and they ended up kicking a field goal to tie it with like 15 seconds left.
It was the most head-scratching drive that I've ever seen to tie a football game because I felt like Alex Smith didn't really complete a single pass on that drive. It was just defensive holding, pass interference.
It was one of those plays or one of those series of plays where every single time a pass fell incomplete, you just stared at the screen because you knew that red little flag was going to pop up in the middle. It was a Buffalo Wild Wings drive.
Yes. Those drives were just like, we don't actually have to complete any passes.
We just know that someone in a bar in the middle of the country is hitting a lever that keeps this game going. All right.
So that was Washington football team. We should credit Matt Prater because I didn't realize how good Matt Prater is in clutch situations.
He sucks this year, but that was an incredible kick.

It's crazy that one of the clutchest kickers of all time

plays for the Detroit Lions.

That doesn't add up, but he's 22 for 22 on game time

or go-ahead field goals in the fourth quarter

with two minutes or less left.

Yeah, no, he's a very good character.

There has been moments this year where you're like,

he's washed up because he's missed, I think,

a decent amount of kicks for him this year.

So I was shocked that he was going to hit that, but credit to him.

Also, Alex Smith is just going to set a record

for the most heartwarming games.

Every single time that he plays,

there's something heartwarming that happens.

I have someone who's very mad at Alex Smith.

We'll get to it later.

Ben Roethlisberger.

Yes.

Because Alex Smith is taking away his comeback player of the year. Yes.
He might kill him. Yes.
He might kill him. All right.
Jaguars, Packers. Jaguars stuck around a little bit.
So I don't know where to start. I actually have a really weird theory that there are no facts behind this, but I'm just going to throw it out there and you just tell me if it's stupid, which it is.
Okay. I think no fans makes the stadiums windier.
Okay, because there's fewer bodies to intercept and block off the wind. I feel like wind has been happening more.
And this game was very windy and weird.

I think the amount of people, yeah, I think no fans, more wind.

Watch out for it.

It makes sense because if you watch a zombie movie where the main character walks into an abandoned city, it's windy as shit.

No one is living there walking around.

It's always like plastic bags blowing down the street, and that symbolizes how emptied out that town is. I think that you're right.
I think the fewer people are around. Although, on the other hand, if you're in Green Bay, and you've got a bunch of people in the stands, they're all like burping and farting, which creates natural wind.
That's true. So I think that the wind was obviously a factor in this game.
There's nothing I really learned like like matt lafor actually admitted after the game that the packers came out very flat it was a classic aaron rogers no sense of urgency game right and i i i actually respect matt lafor for saying that like hey we just came out very very flat in this game uh but the packers still they can't like the jaguars are starting a guy who's a six-round draft pick, his second start in the league, and you know they're going to have to run the ball, and they still were able to run the ball. So, look, obviously I'm biased.
Packer fans will get mad, but they can't stop the run when they need to stop the run. It's kind of crazy.
James Robinson, shout out Mike Florio, had 109 yards. Yeah, the people that are, the teams that are leading each conference are probably not the best teams in each conference like the Steelers yeah they're eight no the Steelers might go undefeated who knows they might win or they might lose one or two games and then the uh the Packers are seven and two at the top of the NFC um I don't think either one of those teams is the best team in that conference right right no I agree we should talk I don't really know who's the best team in the NFC.
The NFC is an absolute shit show. I would probably actually say maybe the box.
We'll get to them in a minute, but maybe the box. Yeah.
Cause it, the NFC is just every single week. It changes every single, every single week we get a new team that we think is good.
I also coming away from this game. I don't, if I were a GM for an NFL franchise, I think I would draft a punter first overall okay because these punters like when johnny when johnny hecker does his thing you should be with the raiders yeah that's like their mantra and uh logan cook was the punter for the jaguars today he he pinned the packers uh inside the 10 four times twice two of those times inside the five.
Yeah. Like that's how you make up for being an inferior team.
They're weapons. I think that if the Broncos had punted on first down every time today, they probably would have come closer to winning.
Right. When you turn the ball over a lot, then yeah, just punt first down.
Get rid of the ball. Like we don't want this shit.
You can't throw an interception if you don't have it. As football fans, we always say, yeah, there's three phases to the game, but let's be honest.
We don't really take into account the third phase until it fucks up, like until you see a missed field goal or until you have a kick return on you. Then you're like, wait, what the fuck? That's the third phase.
I think if I were a GM or a head coach, I would just be like, let's just dominate special teams and just see how everything else goes. Maybe it goes well, maybe it doesn't.
Who cares? But we'll get field position. I really think that if you approach the Vikings with that type of scenario and be like, here's how I want to build our team, Mike Zimmer would be like, yes, I would prefer not to coach offense.
I don't like watching it when we have the ball. Mike Zimmer probably finds himself rooting for the other team's defense to sack the quarterback when his offense is on the field right right so I just uh I noted that I was like hey how did the how did the Jaguars stick around in this game they ran the ball and they punted well I also noted that when it comes to a brand new quarterback a lot of times defenses aren't able to intercept them as easily because they just they don't know how how bad he's going to be sometimes they're like even they get surprised they don't some of the passes that get attempted they don't know the dumb things he's about to do like bin denucci in that sunday night game the defense was utterly perplexed at how dumb he was being with some of the passes like you don't prepare to like try to intercept a submarine curveball uh from like a rookie quarterback that's just not something that that an NFL cornerback would ever sit down and practice.
That's a good point. It's a good point.
So maybe the key to the Jaguars is always just putting in new... Cycle someone in there.
Miles Jack had an all-time flop in the game. That was kind of fun.
That was very fun. It looked like he got shot.
He called the announcer. I don't know who was announcing the game.
Called him Vlade Jack. I like that.
Yeah, it's pretty good. Anytime you can do a real throwback to Vladi Divac.
This was also, it was the Paul Hornig tribute game, right? Yes. His name is so...
You've got to cover the spread when Paul Hornig dies. His name is so confusing to me because every time I hear it, it sounds like they're saying Paul Horny.
Paul Horny. Yeah, like you're listening to Sgt.
Pepper's Backwards and they're trying to tell you that that they were trying to fuck. Greg Jennings.
Oh. And Brock Huard.
Greg Jennings putting the whole team on his back. To put Greg Jennings on a Packer game.
Oh, yeah. Especially with some of the things he said about Aaron Rodgers.
Would you say that's not... If you were...
I mean, the Fox executives... The what? Did you say fuck? No, put your glasses back on.
You can't talk when you don't have your glasses on.

The Fox executives, they know what they're doing,

but Greg Jennings is known as a Packer.

Interesting.

They did have to dive real deep into the well

to pick out all these different broadcasting teams.

Fox had so many games.

Today, there's only three CBS games, so Fox is loaded up.

And Akeem Tlaib did the Lions game. Yeah, they just basically called him up and said, hey, can you just sit up here and talk shit? Yeah, he was good.
It would have been awesome if they put him in a booth with Crabtree. Just brought Crabtree in to try to take his necklace off.
Yeah, get a fight going. So, yeah, going back to the Packers, I think they're very similar to last year.
I I guess the better question is actually next week is going to be a really good test for them against the Colts because the Colts are a man football team yep they're not they're not uh razzle dazzle right uh their lineup punching the mouth football team I don't know if the Packers the the question is not to me whether the Packers I think they're the same team as last year it's just the question is is there a 49ers type team in the NFC because the 49ers were the best team in the NFC last year so that the Packers might be able to get to the Super Bowl just because there's not that team that's significantly better than that so as an owner of the Packers the only team that really concerns me I would say the Buccaneers fucked them up yeah the Buccaneers defensively, they can come out and they can hit the Packers in the mouth. And maybe the Rams.
Maybe the Rams. Maybe the Rams.
Which Whitworth, we'll get to that. That sucks so much because that could really fuck them up.
Honestly, just to give you a little glimmer of hope. I'm not worried about the Packers.
The Bears could beat the Packers. Dude, I know they can.
The Bears could absolutely beat the Packers. I know they can.
Especially, especially if the Bears keep losing. Yes.
Because that's when we beat the Packers, when it doesn't actually matter. Right.
When it can't actually help us. Are you guys playing week 17? No, we put, well, yes, we play week 17 and then we also, I think we play in two weeks.
Yeah. Okay.
So week 17, you will definitely. That's when we fuck them up.
I want to put a bet in advance that it's going to be week 17. It's going to be a slaughter.
Yeah. All right.

Eagles Giants.

The Eagles are the most out-of-sync football team

of all time.

And the Giants are going to win the NFC East.

Yeah, they are.

The Giants are actually, dare I say it,

a good football team. I i'm i'm graduating them yeah i am i'm saying they're a good football team as far as the nfc

east goes sliding no no no no no no i think they're a good football team not obviously not a great

football team okay maybe they have to win one more no they're not a good football team but i'm gonna

throw the challenge six games yeah their last six games they. Their last six games.
They won by 10. They won by three.
They lost by two. Football teams.
They lost by two to the Bucs. They lost by one.
Trap game. They won by one, and they lost by three.
They have lost three. They've gone three and three in their last six games, and they've lost those three games by a combined six points.
But the football team almost beat them. They didn't at home.
They started 0-5 for those five losses where Red Tiner lost. I'm telling you, man.
The Giants are by no stretch a good football team. I think you think that they're good because in your wildest dreams, this is like what a great Bears team would look like right now.
Yeah, I think just boring enough to win sometimes. No, no, no.
The Bears defense is way better than the Giants defense. Maybe not way better.
But the Giants defense is legit. Daniel Jones, do you want to walk? He played well.
Daniel Jones continues to be the fastest player in NFL history. If we're going, your Drew Locke is bad.
Your Drew Locke stock is bad. My Daniel Jones stock is going up.
It's trending up in the last couple games. And your Drew Locke stock is tanked.
It's growing pains for Drew Locke. He's going to be out of the league in a year.
It's growing pains. Daniel Jones played well.
He had no turnovers, which is huge for him. That's actually that should count as a touchdown.
No turnovers for Daniel Jones should count as a touchdown. He also is averaging 8.6 yards per carry and if he finishes the season with that, he'll be the highest rushing quarterback since Fran Tarkenton.
Oh, wow. Not even Michael Vick did that.
Yeah. So what you're basically saying is that the Giants are better without Saquon Barkley.
Yes. Okay.
I even forgot. Yeah.
I forgot he existed. Yeah.
I legit, before you said that word, holy shit. The Giants are a good football team if they had Saquon barkley yeah you you just plug and play what wayne gallman and alfred morris dude i'm i'm i am combined buying what they're selling with those two guys skill sets it's actually a plus improvement over over losing saquon barkley i their defense has actually played very well right like the and and if their offense like they they have more guys than we give them credit for credit for.
They're not a good football team. I rebuke that statement.
I disavow that statement entirely. That's fine.
I think they've been competitive in every game. They're still going to win the NFC East.
Mind you, the game before those six games that I just listed, they lost by eight to the Rams, who we just said might be the team coming out of the NFC. They lost by two to the Bucs and eight to the Rams.

Those are good teams.

Yeah.

They're a frisky.

They're a frisky at best.

Good-ish.

They're a frisky at best team.

I'll say ish.

I'll add an ish.

In the playoff.

Well, what about this big guy?

Good-ish.

They're a good-ish team.

You might be talking me into it a little bit.

Yes.

I think that the Giants could beat the Packers.

Yes. But that doesn't mean that they're good.
Yes. The Packers can lose to a shitty team.
No, they're good-ish. The Packers can, they'll beat most good teams.
Good-ish as in they'll lose to some shitty teams. I've walked back good.
I'm now on good-ish. Good-ish.
They are good-ish. How about this? They're not good.
They're good-ish. They show signs of good.
As far as I'll go, I'll say the Giants are not as bad as you think they are. Right.
Yes. Which is the highest compliment I can say to the Giants.
When you actually look at their season, they got blown out. If they weren't in the NFC East, they would be terrible.
They still are terrible. The reason I'm saying they're good-ish is because they're in the NFC East.

No.

I think they've been playing.

I'm basing this off of their close losses as well to very good teams.

They've been in every game.

They're in every game.

They got blown out by the 49ers.

That's really the only true mark on their record where you're like, ugh. And they lost by 10 to the Steelers week one.

But they were kind of in that game too.

Just saying. Good-ish.
I'll settle with good-ish. Let's talk about the Eagles, though.
The most out-of-sync team of all time. I don't know what it is about them, but they look like a team that just doesn't practice because they, like, a good, an Eagles performance has a few bad snaps, some weird penalties, some miscommunication on routes.
They have all of that. And then Doug Peterson going for two when he shouldn't go for two.
Usually a couple drops. Yeah, that was the most baffling thing of all time.
He went for two when they were down by five? No, no. He went down by four.
So he went for two to cut it to 14-11. So that one was successful.
So they scored a touchdown. It was 14-9.
He went for two. Then the Giants scored again, so it was 21-11.
Then the Eagles scored to make it 21-17 and he was addicted to that go for two sauce and he went for two again where he could have just gotten into a three-point game with an extra point. If you're a coach, you might as well just go for two all the time because you can always find obscure reasons why after the fact to justify that you did it.
Just stop kicking. Even say, yeah, our kicker had a twinge.
So he gave us a better shot to go for two there. Right.
So it was – oh, God, that was a bad injury. Boyle? That was a bad injury.
It was the Eagles are Doug Peterson, like we've said, beef stew for brains. That was where he's got extra beef stew going in his brain when he goes for two for no reason when he's down four.
And then I hate to say this, but was Coward right? About what? Carson Wentz. I mean, about everything.
But Carson Wentz. He's a fellow soup guy.
I have to respect him. Like, was he right? what carson i mean about everything but carson wentz he's a fellow soup guy i have to respect him like was he right carson wentz was he right carson wentz spends half of the game within of like his head within a foot of the ground he's always scrambling around like with his just staring at his shoelaces bent over at the waist about to get hit yes he he looks all sorts out of sync i don't know i don't know what's wrong with cars like he hasn't carson wentz has not been good in two years and i doug peterson i think doug peterson actually deserves more blame for this loss than carson wentz because you're coming out of a bye you're playing uh what some people would say is a bad team i call them goodish and you look out of sync.
You go 0 for 9 on third down. You go for two in weird spots.
And the Eagles ran the ball pretty well. They had that big Boston Scott run.
They had Miles Sanders going for like five plus yards per carry. Yeah, they just didn't run it that much.
Yeah, and they're like, okay, let's just keep throwing with Carson Wentz and getting him killed and not completing anything. Right, yeah.
So Miles Sanders attempted 15 carries, but he was averaging 5.7 yards a carry. That's inexcusable.
So, yeah, you just got – at some point, his stew brain needs to kick in and just say we need to have a balanced attack. Like that's the ultimate quintessential football stew guy thing to just always fall back on.
It's like we got to have our ratio down to about 50-50 on rushing attempts and passing attempts. But it hasn't kicked in for Doug because I think too many people called him like the next level of statistical genius in the NFL, which is probably unfair to do if you knew Doug Peterson.
We got to talk in his language. Doug, you need to make sure that there's a good ratio of meat cubes to potatoes yes you right now you have way too many potatoes and maybe even too many carrots too in that stew you got to get some more meat in there he's yeah he's putting some he's started to like branch out and he's putting like uh korean spices in this and he's doing like fusion let's get back to basics just meat maybe a little uh red wine cooked down in there just meat it up tell you what yeah don't don't even think about making it a stew just think that you're you got to make a gravy now yes you got to make a meat gravy switch it up to beef stroganoff if you have to yes um by the way so the the eagles and the and the giants remaining schedule they the the eagles have seven games the giants have, the Giants have six.
They've played ten. They share four common opponents.
So Cowboys, Browns, Seahawks, and Cardinals. They both are playing those four teams.
And then the Eagles have to play the Packers and the Saints and the Washington football team. The Giants get the Bengals and the Ravens.
I think the Giants are going to win the East. Yep.
I think they are. They're good-ish.
They're good-ish. And I love your prediction about them beating the Packers.
I'm in on that. It could happen.
Just get Tom Coughlin as an honorary captain in his red face. It could happen.
That's also just like a, I know this doesn't make sense because it's been so long. No, it's the franchise matchup.
Yes, it is absolutely how it goes. Perfectly against the Eagles.
Perfectly. Get the game in Lambeau.
Have it be a night game. Have the wind whipping because there's no fans.
Just kidnap Tom Coughlin. Just have him stand nude on the sideline facing directly into the moon.
Just have Joe Judge wearing a red Tom Coughlin face. Oh, that's what he should do for his mask that he has to wear on the sidelines.
It should just be Tom Coughlin's red cheeks and mouth. Perfect.
We figured Perfect. We figured it out.
All right, Bucs, Panthers. So the Bucs, I would put at the top of the NFC contender list.
Obviously, the Saints game was terrible, but the Bucs have a trend now. They have three losses this year, and bouncing back from the three losses, they've looked awesome.
So they beat the Panthers after they lost to the Saints week one. They fucked up the Packers after they lost to the Bears on that Thursday night game.
And they fucked up the Panthers today. This was a, like looking at this stat sheet makes you realize Chris Godwin had six catches for 92 yards.
Mike Evans had six catches for 77 yards and a touchdown. Antonio Brown had seven catches for 69 yards.
Gronk had two catches for 51 yards and a touchdown. Owen Ronald Jones ran for 192 yards.
Including a 98-yard motion touchdown. No, it's not.
That's an all-pro team right there. Yeah, and Mike Evans, I think he continues to be kind of like an underrated wide receiver, even though most people give him a lot of credit.
Oh, he's so good. I think he's probably top three wide receiver in the NFL.
The catch that he had today, where I always love it when receivers do that, going back to, who's the guy from Alabama? Was it Pro Throw that made that catch on top of the hole? Yeah, and broke his leg. That was later that he broke his leg.
But that's what people remember. Yeah, whenever a wide receiver is able to catch a ball around an opponent and then hold on to it after they fall on the ground, for me, that takes you to the very top of my wide receiver rankings.
No matter how shitty you are, really, if you just make one spectacular catch, I still think that Brandon Lloyd is going to be a Hall of Famer if he ever gets his shit together. But yeah, Mike Evans is a fucking monster.
When you have him and Gronk in the red zone, there's no way that you can cover everybody. And Tom Brady's an all-time rabbit ears guy.
Like, he does listen to what other people are saying because the critics after the Sunday Night Football game were saying that, like, Mike Evans and Tom Brady are not on the same page. And he made sure that Mike Evans got the ball today and, like, fed him a lot.
I think that maybe Tom Brady has had some work done this year. I think that he's had plastic surgery.
His face looks different. Oh, you think? Maybe that's what happened last game.
Maybe he just got like too high of a dose of botulism in his face. He couldn't kiss his son properly before because all the muscles were just frozen up.
He was out of sorts, didn't feel like he looked good. So he didn't play good last week.
Now that the Botox has had its course to run through his veins, he's back to feeling normal and playing normal. But yes, I mean, it is crazy to think that this is the exact same team that just got their asses cut off and handed to them killed in there.
They ate their own asses last hill. And then they go out and they drop 46 points and they could have had more.
Yes. Yes.
By the way, the Panthers, I don't know what happened with Teddy Bridgewater.

He went out with a knee injury.

But they do keep, even though they got their asses kicked in this game,

that first half they were in it, I think they keep their frisky, spunky,

you know, fun little brother thing.

Yeah, I think.

They're a little brother. They're worse than the Giants.

They're worse.

As of right now.

As of right now, yeah.

We'll find out.

I think they're playing.

It's close.

No, they don't play.

The Panthers.

As of right now, yeah.

As of right now.

Well, Teddy Bridgewater got hurt.

Thank you. As of right now.
As of right now, yeah. We'll find out.
I think they're playing. It's close.
No, they don't play.

The Panthers.

As of right now, yeah. As of right now.
Well, Teddy Bridgewater got hurt. They're a well-coached football team.
Yes. Matt Rule is a good coach.
They just don't have talent. And I can't.
And Chris McCaffrey's out. Maybe if both those guys are healthy, I would maybe say Panthers.
There's something about whenever a player gets injured and they go to the sideline, they put them on the trainer's table, I always have to stop myself from laughing inappropriately when they wheel the blue tent over and then raise the tent over the top of the player like it's a horse at the Kentucky Derby that they're bringing the tarp out on to block the view of it. Shoot him like a horse.
Yeah, just have the tent already set up so you don't have to like... It's just kind of weird to raise it over somebody like they're in a field hospital in the military or something like that.
But the Panthers are little brother in that they are like – they'll never threaten to actually win one of these big games, but they'll always be game. Like it will always be fun for the big brother to be like, oh, that was a good time.
We had a good time out there playing a little ball. You almost had me for a second while you laughed.
And you're like, no, but you didn't. But you almost had me there.
Yeah, then they go home and they're like, if we just add a couple pieces here and there, we can put it together next week. But they're going to come up short again against good teams.
Yep. But, yeah, they're going to be a frisky team.
I think that Matt Rule is going to be a good coach in the NFL for a while. They're spunky.
Yeah. I'm putting them in my spunky pile.
Also, Gronk has all of his good weight back. I think he's actually heavier than he was in the past.
Yes. He looks like he's a load.
Yes. Yeah.
No, I agree. He does look good.
And the Bucs, I mean, so if we're talking about the NFC and you said like, I think you have to break it down as everyone is playing their A game. I do think the Bucs would be the best team.
If everyone was playing their A game. Maybe the Saints.
But we'll get to that. But we'll get to that.
That's a big question. Ribs.
Broncos, Raiders. You should say it like Vince Wilford.
Ribs. Ribs.
Broncos, Raiders. Drew Locke sucks.
Growing pains. I don't know how much longer he has to have growing pain so because he's like they have if they're gonna probably be high enough in the in the draft to pick another quarterback so well we went through the list and we're not sure that trey lance is tall enough for for john elway to go out on a limb and take yeah but i just well Well, you know who he could call? Andrew Locke.
Yep, that's true.

Stanford Connection. That's true.
Andrew Luck to Denver. Yeah.
Follows in the footsteps of Peyton, former Colt, going to Denver to win a Super Bowl. Also, John Elway, former Colt, that went to Denver to win a Super Bowl.
Wow. He was drafted by the Colts.
Wow. How about that? That's, I just thought of that.
That's spicy. But's good.
No, but seriously, Drew Locke, if he were a first-round pick, I think it would be different. Because then you've invested a lot more.
You have the first-round contract that's guaranteed. But he's a second-round pick, and if he doesn't put it together in this home stretch, I absolutely think the Broncos are going to at least look for someone to compete against him.
They will. Because he was bad.
He just doesn't look like he sees it. You know what I mean? Yeah.
Well, he looks like he has all the confidence in the world when he's making his bad throws. Right.
They just go directly to the other team. So he looks the part until the result occurs, and then you're like, wow, maybe he actually didn't know what he was doing.
Then they always cut to him on the sidelines when he's looking dejected. I always keep expecting that he's going to be rapping along to a Bone Thug song somberly on the sidelines after a bad interception.
And we should, so two things we should put into perspective. He had four interceptions today.
The Raiders were actually last in takeaways going into this game. So that's tough to do.
The Raiders' defense is not good, and you made them look good. Two, Drew Locke got a little bit of a bump from that comeback win against the Chargers, but isn't that more about the Chargers? It's the Chargers.
It's the Chargers. They exist so that you can have a comeback signature win against them.
Yeah, Drew Locke is not good. You might have noticed, I'm just running out of ways to defend my initial take about Drew Locke,

which is I'm running out of catchphrases to use.

Like, growing pains is I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel right here.

I need Drew Locke to come out and show me something next week

or else I'm just going to have to go down with the ship.

But the Raiders, on the other hand, I think we said last week,

like they're a physical football team.

Yeah, and they got their offensive line has the thickest guys in the NFL. They're the biggest, I think, statistically.
They are so big. I'm watching them, and it takes a lot for me to be like, damn, their offensive line is huge.
They probably average like 350 pounds per guy. Yes.
And there's a couple guys that are probably 370. I mean, Tripp Brown's like 500.
Tripp Brown is just a massive human being. I think that's how John Gruden, just him and Mike Mayock, when they get together to watch tape on offensive linemen, they're just like, how big is this boy? No, it's very simple.
Big guys, heavy guys, fast guys. Yeah.
Do it. That's it.
But the Raiders, so credit to them because they weren't very good throwing the ball they had a bunch of drops this game had like way more obviously i bet the over but this game had way more points in it than than it showed and they ran the ball down their throats so like that's always a sign to me when you're assessing teams can they win multiple ways can they do different things and they didn't have their a game passing and they ran for 200 plus yards and four touchdowns yeah and and we laughed the other week when the nicest thing the announcers could say about Derek Carr was when he runs out of the pocket he seems to have good balance about him I actually noticed it today I was like he is very well balanced he's very out in the open he doesn't seem to be leaning forward nor backward's just the perfect. Yeah.
Equilibrium. He's got like a little gyroscope built inside his body.
He could put a level right on his head. Yeah.
Right now we're watching the Patriots and the Ravens. Which we'll talk about at the beginning.
You heard us talk about it. The Ravens might have a comeback win.
We'll see. Yeah.
They would be two weeks in a row for Lamar Jackson. All right.

Okay. Chargers DolDolphins.
The Miami Dolphins are a good, maybe even better than good football team. And Tua looks great in those uniforms.
Tua looks great in those uniforms. He was kind of up and down today, but, I mean, he played well enough that they won.
Their defense has been awesome. And we talked about special teams earlier.
The Dolphins are a three-phase type of team. Brian Flores got all three phases cooking.
Got them cooking. So what would you say the Chargers are? The Chargers, I think the Chargers are the Chargers.
They're in their own power. The Chargers are the opposite, the complete opposite of the Panthers.
The Chargers have all the talent in the world. Yes.
And they've got a coach who just doesn't know what he's doing. Like Anthony Lynn is probably the most conservative coach.
But when you have that much talent on your team, you can't play that conservatively. I don't know actually what they do on special teams in Los Angeles, but if they had like half the balls that Matt Rule had when it came to faking punts, going for it, doing crazy shit, two-point conversions.
The Chargers should be around 500. Oh, absolutely.
I love that they scored late to make this a one-score game. That was so perfect.
It wasn't a one-score game. The Dolphins were in control the entire game.
They actually, like that Tua fumble when they were going in to go up 21-0, like this could have been an absolute route all game. The Chargers got back into it a little bit.
But I go away from this being like, dude, the Dolphins are good. Like, especially the fact that they beat the Rams.
They have a bye week, I think. Then they play the Cardinals.
They beat a good Cardinals team. And then you expect a young team to have a letdown and they didn't they did not like this game smelled like a rat the whole time the fact that the Dolphins that we said it on Friday they're 5-3 they're playing against a 2-5 team and they're only 2.5 point favorite like it makes no sense but I think it's just perception is all fucked up you look at the Dolphins and they've been bad for so long that you just assume they're bad but they're not they're good yeah and it's always funny watching like blue chip college athletes get to the nfl and you can tell which production crews don't watch college football on saturday because there are certain storylines that come baked into every single player like tua was always about his family and how huge his family was and how many of his family members were in the stands for their games it's taken until now for the nfl to realize oh we should be talking more about to his family so we're starting to get crowd shots of the tag of our little family which i need at least three of every single game they've they've moved down to miami finally from tuscaloosa in that beautiful home.
The Nick Saban purchase for him.

But yeah, the Dolphins are good.

I don't really know what else to say about the Dolphins other than they're good,

which I think is actually a lot.

You know what?

That actually is saying worlds.

I think any Dolphins fan listening to this,

even if this isn't going to be a 10-minute thing,

just us saying over and over the Dolphins are a good football team.

And guess what? Can I give you a little peek at what the Dolphins got coming up? Broncos, Jets, Bengals. Okay.
That's three. We could blink and the Dolphins could be 9-3.
But then... We could blink and the Dolphins could be 9-3.
But then there's a good chance that they'll finish. If they go 9-3, they might finish 10-6.
Yeah, they have Chiefs, Patriots, Raiders, and Bills to end the season. But no, I wouldn't be shocked.
New England always struggles. In Miami.
Pro players. But I'm just saying, we could be sitting here in three weeks and be talking about 9-3 Miami Dolphins, which would be insane.
Media, this is a message from me to you. The years and years that you have had as a luxury to not have to learn any of the Dolphins players' names is over.
You have to start learning their names right now. Because they're, you know what? The Dolphins, they're for real.
I've got them in my for real column. They're not a fluke.
The Dolphins are just clarifying. They might even be legit big cats.

No, no.

So they're not for real in that they're not going to the Super Bowl.

But what they are is they're an ascending team that has young talent

that is building something.

And you get a couple years to lose in the playoffs if you're that team.

Yeah, no, that's what I'm saying.

You get a couple years to get to the playoffs.

Like, this is the whole process.

They've got to get to the playoffs this year. They lose.
No one's going to be like, man, that's a disappointing. No, that's a great season.
Then next year they get to it, maybe win a playoff game. Oh, okay.
They're building something. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
They are past frisky. They've been elevated from frisky to, for real, the next step is legit.
That's when they're in contention year in, year out to win the entire division. Yep.
They currently have Houston's pick, which would be number six right now, plus their own. Wow.
Okay. Good job, Bill O'Brien.
And they've been, I mean, I'm looking at their games recently. They fucked up the 49ers that game, 43-17.
They beat the Jets 24-0, which obviously the Jets suck, but that's what you should do to the Jets, not give up a point. They beat the Rams 28-17.
They went to the Cardinals, beat them by three, and then they beat the Chargers by eight today, and it was more than eight. The Dolphins are a good football team.
So in my head, when I just said that they need to take another step to be in contention to win their division, I was operating on the assumption that the Bills won that game today, that they lost. They could win the division.
Correct. The Dolphins could win the AFC East.
And, like, the Bills, let's just go to the Bills because they're the next team on the list. That game sucked for the Bills because you expected a letdown coming off that huge Seahawks win, and they didn't have it.
They didn't play great. They had a lot of penalties.
Josh Allen was up and down, like, had a couple bad picks. But they had the game won.
Like, they had the game won, so you didn't have that letdown spot that you kind of saw coming and expected. It was won.
And then Kyler Murray, who is now, like, he is officially elevated to must watch, like, drop everything. you have to watch every time he's got the ball.
That was insane. That was an insane play.
DeAndre, what do you think Bill O'Brien, like where is he right now? And was he watching this game? And was he like lucky catch by DeAndre Hopkins? He's not that good. No, I think Bill O'Brien was probably like, you know what? It's going to be sweet as hell when I'm coaching Michigan next year.
Yeah. That's probably where his mind is.
He's probably just hanging out in Ann Arbor right now. Maybe he'll go back to Penn State.
James Franklin. That's right.
Who knows? But yeah, when that ball went up and it was DeAndre Hopkins and then three Buffalo Bills defenders, I was not surprised that DeAndre Hopkins thought that. It didn't seem that weird because he's that good.

You expect him to make plays like that,

which is a testament to just how fucking talented he is.

And I know that the catch is exceptional

and DeAndre Hopkins is exceptional,

but the throw and eluding the rush,

there's not many guys who can do what Kyler did there.

He's incredible.

He's just an incredible... I still sometimes things look a little weird and he'll miss guys,

but he is must-watch.

He's must-watch.

He's electric.

He loves hitting the spin button on himself.

Yes.

A lot of times he'll just spin for no real reason.

He'll just do like a 360 back into place and then throw fast.

He's like one of those race cars that you've got to wind up to go fast.

He just has to spin to go fast. He plays out there on the field like I played when I first learned how to use Madden.
When I got my first Madden game, I found out what the spin button was, and I just did it all the time as my only juke. I was going to say, when I first learned how to walk, and I was just spinning and falling everywhere.
Yeah. I don't know if we can call this a Hail Mary, though.
I was thinking about that, because a big premarital sex guy like Cliff Kingsbury, I don't know if Catholicism is the right way to go. Obviously, God has chosen his team with the Cleveland Browns this year.
This is like a Hail Satan. I think that Cliff has aligned himself with our Dark Lord on that.
But it sucks for the Bills because that drive that he had that should have won the game. Josh Allen had a great drive.
He did throw some classic Josh Allen balls today. It was – so the issue that Josh Allen has and he – I mean that drive was awesome.
And his touchdown catch was awesome. But sometimes he falls into the Jay Cutler, my arm's stronger than everyone, I can throw it through a guy problem.
Which I actually still, like, we've had this discussion before, but I always think that I'd rather have a guy who thinks he can make every throw because you're going to win more games than you lose usually than a guy who's very, very safe all the time and is checking down. So you just know that that's what Josh Allen is, and sometimes they won't work out.
Today it was, but he kept them in the game. The defense made some big stops down, which Bill's defense is not very good.
It was very good last year. It's not great this year, but they kept him in the game with some big stops.
And then Josh Allen, enough chances, and he goes down the field and has what should have been the game-winning touchdown. The nice thing about Josh Allen is, you're right, he has the arm that Rex Grossman thought that he had when he was taking all those chances.
So Josh, he'll get away with a lot of, you know, some riskier plays because he is physically talented in a way that most other quarterbacks aren't. So you can make them happen.
I mean, I don't even blame him because if your arm is that good, you definitely think you can make every throw. Yeah.
And also, let's keep things into perspective here. He just raised $500,000 for the Buffalo hospital.
He installed an entire wing of a hospital up in Buffalo for his grandmother. I love the guy.
I love the guy. No, and it's just not a bad thing.
Josh Allen is a little bit of a volatile player, but I think that's what you kind of want. You want there to be volatility because when he reaches his heights it's better than almost everyone you know what I mean so and Cole Beasley's catch was awesome Cole Beasley's a fucking Cole Beasley's a beast he's just gonna play for like 15 years how long has he been in the NFL because I would argue a decade but I know it's not I think it's been like 9 years I think that he's gonna play until Bill Bel in 2012.
So not even nine. About eight years.
Eight years. But doesn't he feel like a 15-year guy? I feel like he was on the Cowboys forever.
Yeah. He's slowly making his way towards New England.
And then Steve Belichick and him will be able to do some really funny twin-style Halloween costumes together. Yeah.
So this was bad loss number two of the day. But it wasn't really a bad loss because you had the Hail Mary.

But Cliff Kingsbury kneels the ball.

The line is Cardinals minus two and a half.

I was thinking it was crazy.

Then I remembered that they changed the rule a few years ago

that if you do return an extra point or a two-point conversion,

it does count as two.

So that's definitely what he was thinking.

As crazy as it sounds, that's actually the correct move by him. Either that or Cliff Kingsbury bet against the Cardinals today.
Right, but there's no way that you lose that game unless they somehow get an interception or a fumble or block kick to return it for two points and tie the game. Do you think that Cliff knew that rule? I do.
Someone did. Maybe not Cliff, but someone.

I don't, because he's too much of a membo to know that rule.

No, because that's the only explanation.

Cliff Kingsbury.

There's no other explanation for what he did.

If anyone has ever spent time at Texas Tech,

there's no gene in their body that tells them not to score a point

when they have an opportunity to.

Who's on his staff?

Who's it, Vance Joseph?

He goes against everything they stand for. Maybe it was Vance Joseph.
Vance Joseph might have known. Yeah.
Someone on his staff knew. If there's someone that doesn't like scoring, it's Vance Joseph.
Larry Fitzgerald told him. Larry Fitzgerald told him.
Yeah. Larry Fitzgerald went up to him and was like, hey, dude, I don't know if you know this, but the rule changed.
Actually, I'm going back. I think Cliff King's very new because I think this is the rule in college, and they changed it in the NFL like five years ago, I want to say.
So maybe he knew it because of college, and he didn't even know. He just assumed it was the same rule as in the NFL.
So he was wrong but right. He was wrong about the rule being changed back.
In his mind, it was just always the college rule. Always this way.
So, yeah, that's what the answer is. He was wrong, but he was right.
I feel bad for Larry Fitzgerald because he had that drop that led to the interception. And then he didn't even get the tackle afterwards.
So, it threw off the whole ratio of how many tackles Larry Fitzgerald has as opposed to drops. The stat that everyone likes to talk about.
Yeah. By the way, yeah, 2018 was the last time Larry Fitzgerald dropped the ball.
Yeah, that's crazy stuff. From 2015, Dean Blandino tweeted, the extra point rule for 2015 has changed snap for kick from the 15-yard line, two-point tries, stays at the two-yard line, and defense can return.
Okay. Also, Baby Braun update.
Baby Braun is no longer DK Metcalf. Baby Braun is now DeAndre Hopkins.
Okay. LeBron James shattered him out.
He didn't call him Baby Braun, but he's claiming DeAndre Hopkins as his protege in the NFL. Whoever's good.
His NFL equivalent is now, yeah. The theme of today's episode is special teams.
We're in all three phases type of podcast. So special shout out to Tyler Bass, the Bills kicker, who in the second quarter kicked 54, 55, and 58 yard field goals.
And they were all career longs for him yeah insane three in a row one after the other and he's a rookie yeah he is the guy that has he's got one black eye black straight he looks like he's nelly out there so shout out to him because that was uh that was pretty exceptional i also just think his name's tyler bass yeah that's just a coolest hell name yeah that's a guy that'll pick you up in his truck. Yeah.
It's a good name. It's a good name.
All right. Yeah, that sucked, though, for the Bills.
I feel bad for Bills Mafia. In my head, it should be a win for the Bills.
I know. I know.
Fucking Satanic worshipping Cliff Kingsbury. Well, they got the Chargers next week, so they'll get right with a one-score win.
Yeah. Don't worry about that one.
All right, next up, Seahawks-Rams. Is Russell Wilson hurt? He's got to be hurt, Big Cat.
He's got to be hurt. He was in the middle of an MVP season.
He's got to be hurt. I did notice that some more people started to pick up on the fact that we awarded him the MVP after week three.
Yeah. Just because everyone knew the stat that he had never been given an MVP vote, and he was really good in the first few weeks.
I said this last week, but the way he's been playing, so they've lost three of four, and the one win was against the 49ers, who were pretty battered. They had no one in that game.
Yeah. He might not get an MVP vote this year.
I think he'll get one out of pity, but Mahomes is going to win the MVP, and Russell Wilson probably won't deserve a vote because he has not been good. And this, by the way, we were joking about the hurt thing.
If you don't know, Russell Wilson is one of the – there's certain sports – there's certain athletes that are so beloved that the only way they can ever be bad is if they're hurt. Steph Curry gets it.
So when Steph Curry has a bad game, it's like, well, his ankles must be hurt. Yeah.
Russell Wilson gets that because everyone loves him so much. They're like, well, he must be hurt.
Gino Malkin in the NHL. He must be hurt.
He's got to be hurt. The Rams defense is fucking awesome.
Jalen Ramsey shut down DK Metcalf. Shut him down.
And they. Well, did he? Yes.
Did he shut him down? Or did Russell shut him down? No, I mean, he shut him down. Because Russell wouldn't even look at him.
Yeah, he shut him down. And this happens.
It's weird. It's happened, I think, in three different games this year where Russell Wilson has just not thrown the ball at all to DK Metcalf.
I'm going to give Jalen Ramsey some credit. I think DK is sleeping with Ciara.
I think Jalen Ramsey played a great game, and the Rams' pass rush was all up in Russell Wilson's ass.

Leonard Floyd, shout out him.

Fucking A, man.

Former Bear.

That guy is the biggest fraud stack guy.

He had three sacks today.

So I went back and I looked,

because he's a quintessential bunches guy.

Yeah.

62 games. He has 25 and a half sacks.
He's a quintessential bunches guy. Yeah.
62 games.

He has 25 and a half sacks.

He's played 62 games in his career.

He's recorded a sack in 16 of those.

So he just either gets sacks or he gets nothing.

They come in bunches.

They come in bunches.

We talk about that.

So he got three today.

I have a modest proposal for the Seahawks defense because they're absolute trash.

Although today they held Jared Goff to 300 yards passing, which is a huge improvement for them. They should just give up five yards on defensive holding every single play.
Yes. Every single pass play, just tackle the wide receiver.
Your defense would be way better if you just took away the entire possibility of them getting a chunk play. Well, that's the old Legion of Boom.

It's like, hey, we're going to try to hold on every play,

but they're not going to call it on every play.

No, I'm saying make them call it.

You want them to call.

You just literally tackle them on the line of scrimmage every single time.

It's crazy how the Seahawks have gone from unstoppable to this

in a matter of four weeks,

but they're averaging 34.3 points per game going into this and the Rams held them to 16 like that's impressive the Rams defense is good and I don't know what's gonna happen with the Whitworth injury because that's bad yeah and like especially for a Rams team that they want to run the ball and they want to do play action and he's really really good that sucks but the Rams defense but the Rams' defense, man, they're fucking good. They are.
Yeah, I think the NFC West is obviously the best division in that conference. Yes, it's the opposite of the NFC East.
It is the polar opposite. So, I don't know.
Either that or Seahawks just start blitzing all the time. Just blitz every single down.
They kind of actually do that with Jamal Adams. With Jamal Adams.
Yeah, that actually is their strategy. You're joking, but it's the strategy.
Do we need to ask, like, is Jamal Adams a good safety? Or is he just like a small linebacker? It's funny that you say it because literally that's their strategy. Yeah.
Blitz with every single time with Jamal Adams. It is because I think he just looks so cool, like a big-ass linebacker almost that plays safety.
He's got like all the wristbands and tape tape set up he looks like he's going to hit the shit out of you so every time he's in the

game you're like we need to get this guy into the backfield yes and it ends up just like exposing

them massively on the back end so yeah i think the rams the rams are for real i will say with

the seahawks when they get chris carson back they become a much more complete football so i was

actually thinking about this and did we maybe let russ cook a little too much yes did we maybe

See you next week. they become a much more complete football team.
So I was actually thinking about this. Did we maybe let Russ cook a little too much? Yes.
Did we maybe, has he maybe overcooked the meal? He's well done. Like let Russ cook was fun, but they might actually do need some balance.
When you let him cook a little bit, it's rare, and he's usually able to take advantage. but when you let him do it too much, now they're ready for it.

That one interception he threw in the end zone was bizarre, because

he had a touchdown. There was

no one on that side of the field.

It was very bizarre. That's where I think he might be hurt.

They played one...

They put one really strange

stat on the screen today. I'm going to get it

a little bit wrong, but it was something along the lines of

every year but this year,

with Russell Wilson on the

Seahawks, Pete Carroll has averaged Thank you. stat on the screen today.
I'm going to get it a little bit wrong, but it was something along the lines of every year but this year

with Russell Wilson on the

Seahawks, Pete Carroll has averaged

like, I don't know, he was like 27th

in the league in terms of past

attempts. And then this year

they were first in the league.

That's a big swing.

You can't change the culture

of your football team like that. Do you think Pete is trying

to dunk on the NFL Twitter?

Yes. So he's

going so far in the direction they want them

to get You can't change the culture of your football team like that. Do you think Pete is trying to dunk on the NFL Twitter? Yes.
So he's going so far in the direction they want them to go. You wanted this.
Yeah. You got it.
Russ is cooking. I hope you guys are enjoying.
You know what would be very funny? If so many people gave Russ Wilson MVP votes thinking they were going to be the only one to give him a vote, his first MVP vote, that he ended up winning the MVP. Yes, I could see it happening.
Yeah. Absolutely.
Someone's going to do it. Someone is going to throw him a vote just so that we can stop the conversation.
And I don't – I mean, the Seahawks are still going to be dangerous because it is still Russell Wilson, and he still is an MVP candidate, kind of. But they're just a flawed football team.
We get to see them in the Cardinals on Thursday Night Football, which is going to be a fun game to watch. So they have to win that game for me to get back on the Seahawks can make some noise, like some serious noise.
And when I say serious noise, I mean, you know, NFC Championship. Yeah.
They're not going to get the bye. They're so flawed.
So they have to win two games. If they win one playoff game, I'll be shocked.
Right. So I'm saying that if they win the Cardinals game, I'll start believing, okay, maybe they have two wins in them.

Over under how many times are we going to hear the word baseball when it comes to Russell Wilson and Kyler Murray playing against each other? Yes. And the DK Metcalf running down Buda Baker.
Yes. They are both, by the way, such great, excellent sliders when they have the football in their hands.
Russell Wilson, he has timed it out perfectly where he'll run at a defender and then slide at the last second, almost trying to get a personal foul. He goes studs up too, like he's sliding in second base.
So he goes after your knees with his cleats, but you better not try to even approach to tackle Russell Wilson when he's about to slide. All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars.

That was an insane run by Lamar Jacksonson but you already know that because we already recapped the game yep we talked about it all right let's go we got two games left uh 49ers saints drew breeze hurt his ribs yeah quote unquote ribs you're skeptical about that uh did you see the hit i did see the hit he got body slammed on his shoulder.
He got planted into the ground. But Big Cat, what you don't know is that sometimes when you get slammed onto your side, it's not just your shoulder that gets hurt.
Okay. Your ribs also hit the ground.
Right. I think you're a little too woke on the whole rib gait situation.
Drew Brees has a bad shoulder. Okay.
He got slammed on his shoulder. Okay.

His shoulder's hurt.

He probably still has broken ribs. You think Drew Brees, stat padding Drew Brees,

wouldn't have come back in when they were first and goal

and Jameis was floundering around to throw a touchdown

if his ribs were hurt?

He could play with broken ribs.

He can't play with a hurt shoulder.

I think that Drew Brees, if he had a couple broken ribs,

would not come into play. Baker Mayfield plays with broken ribs.
I'm not saying broken ribs are a nothing injury. I'm saying that Drew Brees, knowing he's a tough guy, he stays playing with his shoulders hurt.
I don't know. His shoulder is hurt.
He got slammed directly onto his already hurt right shoulder. I think that you're too woke on this.
I think he's got broken ribs. It makes perfect sense, too.
Why would they lie about it? Because if he's going to play the rest of the day, if they're going to bring him back and his already kind of weak arm is even weaker and everyone knows that he has no chance of throwing it downfield, wouldn't that help game plans? Wouldn't that help defenses? I guess so, but I think he's going to miss some time. Yeah, because his shoulders hurt.
So then what would they be lying about? Well, because they want to obviously see how bad it is. They want to see how bad it is.
His shoulders hurt. He hurt his shoulder.
You're being too woke on this one. Watch the replay and tell me his shoulders hurt.
I watched the replay many times. I want you to watch it again and tell me his shoulders hurt.
He got straight up planted it. Well, first of all, you can't really see exactly how he hits the ground.
It's right on his shoulder. You can think, like, okay, it looks like he lands on his side somewhere.
It might be his shoulder. It might be his ribs.
It was his shoulder. I was excited to see Jameis out there.
And also, Jameis Winston got his lead leading second quarterback save. Yes.
Another save. And he didn't throw an interception.
He didn't fumble. He looked ridiculous, though, on that first and goal.
They had like eight plays from the five-yard line. He was just floundering around getting sacks and everything.
So, yeah, yeah. Also, Sean Payton's going to be so mad at the NFL because Schefter had a report this morning saying that the NFL was about to come down with unprecedented fines on the Saints for not taking COVID seriously.
So Sean Payton is going to be on an all-time fuck you revenge tour against Roger Goodell. It sucks for the Saints that Drew got hurt because I think the Saints had flipped a switch.
I think Sunday night was a switch-flipping game, and the Saints do this every year where they just go on an insane run after figuring it all out. I think that they were in that position right now.
They were going to be far and away the best team in the NFC. No doubt about it.
Their defense still played great. Their defense shut down the Niners.
The Niners had a drive to start the game down the field, and then the defense kind of picked it up. So they get the win there.
But, yeah, I think Drew Brees' shoulders hurt. His shoulders already hurt.
The 49ers' two muffed punts didn't help. Muffed punt is one of those things that I know it's not sexual, but it really sounds sexual.
Yes, and the returner who has the green hair, you can't have green hair and muff a punt. It was a quarter green.
It was an all-time, like, that guy is cool as hell. If you got that haircut and then you scored, like, two return touchdowns, you're like, that guy's the swaggiest dude in the entire world.
Yes. But if you muff two punts with the green hair, you got to get rid of the green hair.
I'm watching a replay, by the way, right now, and he's doing this where he can't use his shoulder. Well, he probably had...
Shoulders hurt. No, I think he got the wind knocked out of him.
His shoulder was already hurt. He got the wind knocked out of him.
He was already on the injury report for his shoulder. Okay.
I think his shoulders hurt. And I would be nervous if I were a saint.
So there's a real good chance that he broke ribs and also hurt his shoulder. Yeah.
But the shoulder's the one I'd be a lot more worried about. Like that's the thing.
It's the ribs. If he hurt it just as ribs I'd be like okay fine.
Whatever. A few weeks he'll be back.
The shoulder is the one I'd be a lot more worried about. That's the thing.
It's the ribs. If he hurted just his ribs, I'd be like, okay, fine, whatever.
A few weeks, he'll be back. The shoulder is something that's a big, big injury.
Yeah. So I'm worried too.
I want to see Drew Brees still play. Just because I think he's washed doesn't mean I don't enjoy watching him play.
I really thought it when Jameis was floundering on that goal line situation.

It's like, it would be perfect for Drew Brees to come back in,

just throw a quick pass to Michael Thomas and get another touchdown.

Captain Slant?

Yeah.

It would have been like two seconds, and he would have done it.

But his shoulder's hurt.

Maybe we'll see Taysom Hill, too.

They did have Taysom Hill in there, like a bunch.

Who do the Saints have next?

Because Jameis, like on primetime, give me Jameis primetime. Let's see.
Give me Jameis primetime, please. The Saints have...
Jake's going to beat us to it. Jake is great at Googling.
Get it, Jake. You're like a top five Googler that I've ever met, Jake.
Get it, Jake. You're so fast.
Get it, Jake. If you say so.
Falcons. Home versus Falcons.
Okay, so Jameis can win that. And then at Broncos.
And then at Falcons. And then Eagles.
Jameis can win that. Jameis can win that.
And then Chiefs week 16. Jameis can win that.
Jameis can win all of these. Will they have something to play for? Jameis is back.
I think Jameis is going to be favored in all those games. Jameis is back.
Ooh, Vikings Christmas Day. Jameis.
Jameis. Kirk Cousins is going to have a bad gingerbread hangover.
God, I wish the Saints were playing on, like, who's Thanksgiving night?

Raven Steelers.

Damn, it would have been great to have Jameis then.

Yeah, but Raven Steelers.

Have a nice conversation around Thanksgiving dinner about Jameis Winston.

Jameis and Big Ben.

Texans, Lions, Washington football team.

Oh, Cam just got rocked.

Did they throw the flag?

Nope. They hate calling that on Cam.
Yep, they did.. Alright, last game.
Bengals-Steelers. Big Ben's block was so funny.
He just, big time business decision on that end around and he goes out and he just stopped halfway. There were a couple plays where Big Ben you could see he gets tired during plays.
Yes. So whether he's out like as the lead blocker on an end around there was one where he about running for a first down, but as he took his first three steps, he looked at the first down marker.
He's like, I can't do eight more yards of this. And he threw a touchdown pass instead.
He's like, I'm just getting rid of the ball. Yes.
The Steelers' defense was awesome. Joe Burrow was running for his life.
He got hit 13 times. T.
Higgins was great, but, yeah, this game was kind of a who cares. Why did they keep Joe Burrow in the game at the end of it? I don't know.
There's no good – like, he was getting his ass kicked out there. Yeah.
I mean, they're not, like, saving him for the playoffs. Yeah, but I don't know.
Zach Taylor – I don't know if Zach Taylor's coming back next year. Has Zach Taylor done anything to make you think, like, this guy is even frisky? Yeah, they've had some frisky performances.
But Zach Taylor, if he gets fired this year, which we never talk about another man's job, we don't want him to get fired. Kids have to change schools.
He will be a trivia question that no one gets in 10 years. Like, who was the coach between Marvin Lewis and Hugh Jackson? Probably Marvin Lewis again.
Yeah, yeah. Marvin Lewis had two stints with the Bengals.
Who coached in between them? This was the Steelers' 14th straight home victory against a quarterback who was drafted number one overall. Whoa! So it's basically like Carson Palmer and Baker Mayfield.
Yeah, that's a fun fact. Yeah, and now Joe Burrow on that list.
But yeah, the Steelers are good. Their Steelers are good.
They're 9-0. Their schedule breaks nicely for them.
Big Ben's shoulder looks strong. His arm looks strong.
Yeah, I still... He was whipping it in there a few times.
He's not jacking off anymore. He's back to peak physical Ben performance.
By the way, that was so funny. On Friday, Mike Tomlin was quoted as saying that Big Ben's knees are fine.

Yeah.

And they never were a problem.

Yeah.

And Big Ben, yeah, going into this week, he was like, I've got two injured knees and I

low-key have coronavirus.

On the low.

Yeah.

Yeah, he's got to be pissed at Alex Smith.

What do you think's inside Mike Tomlin's skull?

Did we do that already?

I think he's just got a brain that's camouflaged in the salute to service design.

Just a normal human brain.

It's a mini Mike Tomlin.

It's actually the fake Mike Tomlin that used to be on the sidelines saluting to service.

Yes.

Inside Mike Tomlin's brain.

But yeah, the Steelers are good.

I don't know what else to say.

Like, they're a good football team.

They're a very good football team, actually.

I just say they're very good.

And it feels like it's a collision course between the Steelers and the Chiefs,

which saying that out loud right now means the Steelers will lose in the playoff to, can the Jaguars get in? Because that would be a lot. They've got their number.
Dolphins? To Blake? Something stupid will happen to the Steelers if you think the Steelers are going to go to the Super Bowl. I mean, I could see the Raiders beating the Steelers.
That would be an old school matchup. Yeah, just because we're going to be more Pittsburgh than you are.
That's what John Gruden and Mike Mayak are up to. They're building Pittsburgh, too, out in the desert.
Yes, I like that. I like that.
All right, that was all the games. Should we do Football Guy of the Week real quick? Football Guy of the Week.
What do you think about your Bears tomorrow? Cal Slota Revenge game. Must win.
Can't lose. I don't feel confident, but I will probably bet on them and I will convince myself that they're going to win the game.
Also, it was very funny how Billy spent all this time on Friday and Saturday putting together a spreadsheet. He learned how to use Excel and was just hammering away at some formulas putting together six different parlays that all had like a statistically insignificant chance of all losing it was like what do you say it was like less than one percent it was crazy and then they all lost yes they all lost he's he thought he did it he thought he broke vegas uh he thought it was gonna be bringing down the house the billy football version all right let, let's do Football Guy of the Week.
Then we're going to talk some Masters, some other stuff, and who's back on the other end. Football Guy of the Week presented by Phil Sorocco OneBlade, the only tool that can trim, edge, and shave any length of hair.
It's November, and that means gift-giving season is coming up, which makes now a perfect time to pick up a specially marked OneBlade Barstool Pack nationwide, where you could win up to $1, thousand dollars to the barstool store make sure if you already have your barstool one blade that you head to the barstool store and use your credit also keep tweeting us your funniest game day facial or body hair looks to at part of my take using trim it to win it for a chance to win a special pmt experience your style made simply uh philips norelco one. So thank you to Philips Norocco OneBlade.
And our Philips Norocco OneBlade football guy of the week nominees are Jake. We will start things off with Raiders fullback Alec Ingold, who played versus the Broncos today despite two fractured ribs, plus got a fullback assist.
Yes, he did. Wisconsin tough.
That's right. He's a low-man award winner.
A pair of Iowa high school teams earlier this week, Rams and St. Mary's and Montezuma.
Do you guys see their final score? Yeah, I think it's 7-on-7. Or 8-on-8.
8-on-8, but still 108-94. Now, is that football guy? No, I don't like it.
Points equal football guys. No, wrong.

That's Mickey Mouse football. I send you guys this list in the afternoon.

Yeah, we don't look.

A real football guy would rather win.

I like to be surprised.

I like to be surprised.

I'm keeping him in.

All right, okay.

A real football guy would rather win 3-2 than 108-94.

Fair.

All right.

Indiana head coach Tom Allen.

ESPN did a graphic of his injuries while celebrating this year. Black guy losing two front teeth teeth, pulls muscles and a gash on his face.
Okay, that is football guy. I also think that this guy might just get into fights just at night.
And so he just says, oh, no, that black guy, yeah, I got that celebrating a touchdown during the game. Everything after a win for 24 hours counts as celebration for him.
Yes. And then lastly, Lane Kiffin.
I mean, if you didn't see this, after the Rebels scored a 91-yard touchdown late versus South Carolina, he threw his clipboard high into the air, and that's understating it. Lane officially has his swagger back because when he's doing this shit where he draws up a play that's so good that he knows it's going to be a touchdown before the ball's even thrown, nothing better.
Yeah, he loves that shit. And then he is really feeling himself because then he tweeted out, what, minus 12? Minus 13.
Minus 13, showing that he acknowledged the cover, the meaningless cover. And so I expect Lane probably got a call from compliance.
Yeah, he deleted that one. But those are our football guys of the week.
Which, I mean, that makes me want to bet on Lane Kiffin every single week.

The fact that he is acknowledging and courting that type of...

He's always been a spread guy.

Yes.

Always been a spread guy.

Always coaching the spread.

All right, so Football Guy of the Week presented by

Phillips and Relco OneBlade.

Go check out Phillips and Relco OneBlade.

Thank you, and then go vote.

All right, before we do who's back of the week,

what about our friend Bryson DeChambeau, who called Augusta National a par 67? Yeah, he said that was his goal, right, if he shot worse than a par 67. Big Cat, what did he end up shooting? I think he was minus three on a par 72.
So I think Whitney, our friend Ryan Whitney, said he was plus 18. Plus 18 on the weekend.
Not great. Didn't make the cut, even.
Didn't make the cut. Yeah.
That was hilarious that he... And then, of course, he did the, I don't feel good.
My tummy hurts. I feel dizzy.
I don't have COVID. I got tested.
He definitely got tested for coronavirus like 17 times. Yeah.
Do it again. Run it again.
There it again. Gotta be another reason why I'm going to run it until I get a false neck.
Yeah. But when I, when I have Corona, I tend to hit the ball out of bounds.
I tend to not be able to see my balls anymore. That was so funny when he was looking for his balls in the, uh, in the rough.
Yeah. And then he asked the rules official.
He's like, wait, what do you mean? What do you mean that I get a stroke penalty if I can't find my ball? Yes. That doesn't make any sense to me.
That was actually the end of it for him. That moment when his ball plugged and he couldn't find it and he took the penalty, from that moment on he was a head case.
Dustin Johnson won course record minus 20. He was awesome.
It's crazy that he's such a good golfer and he's the world's number one that he hadn't won a Masters yet. So credit to him that everyone got really horny when he cupped Paulina's ass afterwards, which was nice.
It's going to be interesting seeing what they serve at the Masters dinner next year. What is a guy like? Cocaine.
Yeah, just an eight ball and a pack of camel blues for everyone. The golf post-golf is the horniest Twitter gets,

like old man horny.

Well, because you've been staring at dudes for nothing but three and a half hours,

and then it's like, oh, there's one attractive woman.

We all turn into the horny wolf

that starts kicking our leg on the ground

with the air horn.

Our tongues roll out onto the table

like a typewriter spiel that dings when it hits the ground.

The horniest that Twitter gets. So yeah, it was a good tournament.
Weird timing. It was so weird that it ended at 5.30 every day because of obviously the sun.
That goddamn sun. And Brooks not great, but he finished seventh.
He was like 9 under. He was coming back from injury, dude.
What else do you want? He played well on one leg. You know who he played better than? Bryson.
I mean, on one leg. If he had two healthy legs, I think he runs away with this.
He sets another course record. If his hip is feeling good, it's a no-doubter.
He was looking strong, too. Yep, looking real strong.
But, yeah, it was fun to have the Masters on. I don't really know what else to say other than, oh, Tiger, that fucking three times in the water.
That was rough. That was really bad.
There were a few holes just relatable. Absolutely.
Yeah, very relatable. I mean, it was like last year.
What was it, on 13 when it was Tiger catching up to, who was the Italian guy that choked it away?

Francesco Molinari.

Molinari, yeah.

Everybody was just dunking their balls on that,

on hole 13.

It's always fun to watch the pros do that.

I also didn't realize I learned this week

that Jordan Spieth is just not good at golf anymore.

No, he sucks.

He was good for like three years,

which ended in 2017.

Now he stinks.

Rory actually, Rory was playing the best golf out of everybody at the end of the day on Sunday. If it was one round longer, I think that Rory McIlroy would have won the Masters.
He got the big cat jinx bump because I tweeted on Friday morning, I could beat Rory right now after he went into the drink. And then from that point on, I think he was minus 25.
He had a shitty, shitty first round. besides that, he was lights out.
And people forget just how short Rory is. Rory's like 5'7", 5'8".
Real short guy. Really? No.
Pretty sure. 5'7"? 5'9".
Real short guy. That's what he's listed at, so you know that he's 5'8".
Yeah, that's probably true. All right, let's do Who's Back of the Week,

and we will wrap up our Monday show.

Hank, you want to start?

Who's Back of the Week?

Sure, my Who's Back of the Week is this league.

Yeah.

NBA.

NBA draft is this Wednesday.

Yeah, we're going to have a preview on Wednesday.

Kind of snuck up on everyone.

Anthony Davis today, he declined his $28.7 million player option,. He's now an unrestricted free agent.
What? Think of Bulls? No, he hates LeBron. And then James Harden.
He was going to do it anyway. No, no.
He wants out. That's how I interpreted that tweet.
Russell Westbrook wants out of Houston. So it's just like the same song, different different dance with russell westbrook and james harden apparently wants to come to brooklyn and play with the nets god that would be a complete disaster it would destroy the entire yeah that's not gonna work they wouldn't even be a super team it would just be like i don't i i saw a couple tweets afterwards it was like james harden wants to come to brooklyn and then it was like nothing you know specific or or real sources but it was like i'm reading the tea leaves here like James Harden wants to come to Brooklyn Kyrie doesn't want James Harden which makes sense yeah yeah so everyone just doesn't want to play for the Rockets anymore I think it's just Russell Westbrook is no one wants you know but Russell Westbrook is gonna get traded too right yeah James Harden is probably Chris Paul's gonna get traded as well yeah he did get traded he he got traded officially.
That's right. That's right.
Will, has he been sucked off yet? He's not officially on the team. Yeah.
I don't know. He's like the head of the.
Let me know when he gets a blowjob. He's the head of the NFL, whatever.
I feel like he's a narc in those. NBA, NBA, NBA.
You know, like, he's not a player. He's like a narc.
You can't really. No.
Disagree, dude. How are you going to have the Sun gonna have the sons the bubble sons the hottest team in the world have chris paul come on and not get his nut off with the boys with the fellas team camaraderie how do you bring that up to them like if you're chris paul you're joining the team for the first day like when is this like part of my onboarding i think devin booker just i think he makes it not awkward and just says it like, hey, dude, hope you're ready to get sucked off.
She's in there. Yeah.
Yeah. All right.
Frank's in there. You're after him.
All right. That's it.
For who's back? Who's back? Yeah. Did you enjoy the slate today? It was all right.
You know, listen, I i'm not gonna get into semantics about it like in theory i'll always take a slate like this versus slate like uh seven or eight and three that's not the that's not like what it's up to though yeah it is no i'm looking at the numbers you're talking about specifics and you know he said she said type deal so you're saying that you prefer this slate over the three afternoon

games which I agree with. Yes.
Three.

I said three sucks. Good take.

Four is perfect. Thank you.
Hank's right.

You tried to like make it

like a argument that I don't want

football. You're like more football?

He doesn't want more football?

It's still the same amount.

It's just how you present it. You want to taper off.

You don't want football all day. Yes.
Real football wants football all day. The witching hour is a sacred time.
So you get two. You get double witching hours.
There was not double witching hours. Yes, there was.
There was no first witching hour. There absolutely was not.
Well, that's what I'm saying. He said, she said.
Right. No, no, no.
People know that if they watch, those first games did not produce a witching hour. The witching hour is a sacred time in our Sunday afternoons where all

chaos reigns supreme. But it doesn't always happen.

Yes, it does because there's

eight games. There's something crazy

happens when there's eight games. I do think that it was

actually, it wasn't very COVID safe

for the NFL to have double witching hours

which extended the amount of time that people were staying

at bars today. You basically had to be in a

bar for eight hours. Hank, you don't care about the

gamblers. That's your problem because you don't give them an out, enough of an out, when they're six games late.
Well, what do you mean? Imagine if you had the Cardinals. Yeah, I did.
Yeah, if you had the Cardinals minus two and a half, and there's only one game left. Come on, man.
Come on. That's crazy.
My who's back of the week is the Patriots. I'm surprised Hank didn't take the Patriots.
Not as big of a fan as you think he was. We talked about it at the beginning.
Patriots are back big time. My other who's back of the week is giant coats on quarterbacks on the sidelines.
I always like the giant coat season. Aaron Rodgers broke one out today.
It didn't hit the same when it's not Tom Brady wearing his prescription coat. Double pads.
Yeah, it's the width of four normal coats. It sucks that he's in Tampa and probably won't play.
Let's see. Is he going to play any cold weather games? Probably not.
So we're probably not going to get Tom Brady coat season. But I do like it when, when quarterbacks just go on the sidelines and they disappear into the coat.
And then when they get out of the coat is almost better when they just like shrug it off their shoulders and it looks like they're a night, like stepping off of a stallion to go into water. Steam coming out of it.
Alright, my Who's Back of the Week is the Wisconsin Badgers. They're all the way back.
And Jim Harbaugh is Dunzo. That was sad.
We don't celebrate that. No, we don't celebrate it because I do like Jim Harbaugh.
Poor Rich Eisen. Sucks that game was on national television.
Everyone could watch it. I don't know where he's going to go.
Broncos. Bears.
I'd be I'd take him on the Bears. But it's always bad when you have during the game on Saturday night.
Rich Rod was trending. Oh, that's tough because Michigan fans were like, we'd rather have Rich Rod.
Yeah, Rich Rod, Brady. That's bad.
That's bad when that's trending. So, yeah, that, that was a tough one for Michigan.
And then I don't know what I'm going to do next Saturday because Wisconsin plays Northwestern, and I don't want to live in a world where Ravel. It's not happening.
No, it's not. He's so annoying.
I don't care about it. That's the thing.
If Wisconsin beats Northwestern, I don't care. I'm not going to tweet him.
I don't give a fuck. He's going to, I just, I might block him.
I might just fucking block him. Well, he's going to set up a bet that you don't know about.
And he's going to be like, Big Cat said that he's going to run a 10K if Northwestern wins. And you're going to be like, excuse me? Jesus Christ.
That's going to be the worst. All right, Jake, you got a who's back? Yeah.
Let's do it. In the hunt graphic.
Yep. This is the first week I saw it.
The Bears were right off top. Yeah, they were.
Right at home. Yeah, they were.
It's great. In the hunt is so – I love how universal it is.
Who's in the hunt now? The Washington football team. Yep.
Patriots are. The Cavaliers is pinky.
That's right. Oh, fuck.
I forgot I added them. And you know what? You also added every NFC East team.
Yeah, my good-ish giants. Fuck.
I don't know how I added five teams. You got bullied into it.
No one can ever mention the COVID thing again. Five teams? That's too many teams.
And I have to get a tattoo if Drew Brees wins the Super Bowl. What if Jameis wins the Super Bowl? Don't.
I said I didn't. I'll get a tattoo just out of fun for that.

No, I said that if Drew Brees wins the Super Bowl,

I'll get a tattoo of whatever number of touchdowns he ends up with.

When it comes to Jameis, though, I think I just might be so excited.

Yeah, no, I would probably get that too.

I'll just get a tattoo voluntarily.

That would just be fun.

Yeah.

All right, let's do numbers.

Eight.

Eighteen.

Eight again.

Oh, by the way, I think I said it at the end of Friday.

Ten.

Fifty-two is our first three-peat. Forty-seven.
Forty-seven. Fort.
52 is our first three-peat. 47.
Friday. Is it a dynasty? 47.
47. He gets a big Chelsea Clinton fan.
What is this? One. One? Wow.
One? So basic. Wow.
Real basic. It is, I believe, a first timer.
Interesting.

All right.

Animal fact.

You don't have one?

I've never.

I'm just going to Google animal fact.

Fun animal fact.

You know that if you put your finger up a scum spot, it can't spread?

You know a frog's G-spot is in its stomach?

Ducks love to surf.

Woo! There we go. That's pretty cool.
Love you surf. There we go.

That's pretty cool.

Love you guys.

There we go.

There we go. Take me on I'll be gone You after your change Needless to say I'm all descended But I'll be stuck with it away Slowly learn that life is okay Say after me It's no better to be safe than sorry So Bye.
Take me on I'll be gone And I'll do a dream Of the things that you say Is it like a one Just a day no worries away You are the things I've got to remember When you shine away Oh, my God. Thank you.
Take me on me It's Pardon My Take presented by Barstool Sports.
