Speaker 2 Only one Reese's Peanut Butter Lover's protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter, and only one Hershey's Cookies and Cream protein bars is made with Hershey's cookie bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar.

Speaker 2 One bars are the perfect protein bar to get you through your busy day, whether you need a quick pick-me-up between meetings or you need some fuel to power you through your next workout.

Speaker 5 Well, if Kershaw comes in, yeah, it probably will.

Speaker 4 Playoff Kershaw. But before we get to all of that, we are brought to you by our friends.

Speaker 6 When cool, creamy ranch meets tangy, bold buffalo. The hole is greater than the sum of its sauce.
Say howdy, partner, to new Buffalo Ranch sauce, only at McDonald's for a limited time.

Speaker 7 At participating, McDonald's.

Speaker 4 Okay,

Speaker 4 let's go.

Speaker 4 Now in the street, there is violence.

Speaker 4 And then I love the song of work to be done.

Speaker 4 No place to hang out, low washing.

Speaker 4 And then I can't blame all on the sun.

Speaker 4 Today is Monday, October 19th,

Speaker 4 week

Speaker 4 six.

Speaker 4 Sais.

Speaker 4 Week sace.

Speaker 4 How do you say weak in Spanish?

Speaker 5 Semana, seis.

Speaker 4 Semana, sace.

Speaker 4 We start in Nash Vegas where Anthony Firxer, I barely even know her, and AJ, what can Brown do for you? Combined for three scores in a shootout.

Speaker 4 Derek Henry Kissinger blazed the Ho Chi Minh Trail through the Texans' defense.

Speaker 4 Some may say Will Kane Fuller was acting in bad faith on Sunday, but he was just asking questions like, Can the Titans' defense defense guard him? And the answer is no.

Speaker 4 In a twist of irony, noted police hater NWA's Will Straight Out of Compton is now touting a 5-0 record. Titans 42, Texans 36.
What? What? What? What?

Speaker 4 In Indianapolis, where Giovanni Bernardini isn't just a token back, helping the Bengals rush out to an early first half lead.

Speaker 4 The game switched back and forth, and the Bengals were getting there before Jack Meoff Doyle scored the go-ahead touchdown.

Speaker 4 In the fourth quarter, Jesse Master Bates had a good grip on the ball, preventing Phil Rivers from scoring again.

Speaker 4 But the Bengals' final drive went up in a sick vape cloud as he hit that Julian Blackman interception of Joe Burrow. Close 31, the Bengals 20 seconds.

Speaker 4 To Western PA where Mercedes-Ben Rothesberger got into a high-speed Chase Claypool.

Speaker 4 Seven minutes in Kevin, Stefanski tried to make out like a bandit, but got the door shut in his face when the Browns stepped up a class.

Speaker 4 Some are calling the Dolphins trade last year the Lufanza heist as Minka Coat Fitzpatrick has the whole squad looking like a bunch of good fellas. Take it back.
Take it back. Take it back for six.

Speaker 5 The last time the Browns won Pittsburgh, you still had hair, Boom.

Speaker 4 Too soon, Tege. Steelers 38.
Browns seven. Wack bump bum bum.
Wow.

Speaker 4 In Jacksonville, two pussies rubbing up against each other in the scissor bowl. TJ Hakasson got into the club.
That's what the kids call the end zone teach.

Speaker 4 And Matt Cabin's Patricia looked like a chubby, fat-faced little doll. James, here's to you.
Mrs. Robinson came up shorter than his fantasy owner, Mike Florio, with only 29 yards rushing on Sunday.

Speaker 4 Many are asking if the Jaguars have toxoplasmosis as Jacksonville loses five straight and Doug Marone is clinging to his ninth life. The Lions 34, the Jaguars 16.

Speaker 4 Some spread.

Speaker 4 Up to New England where Philip Lindsey Buckingham ripped Stevie Nick's Belichick's heart out one more time as the coach could still hear the Broncos' offense forever move the chain.

Speaker 4 Ryan Lizzo took a DNA test and turns out he's 100% win of itch. Can't catch and played like a bum bum beat on bum bomb bidet.
Did I do that right, Tiege? Nailed it, boom.

Speaker 4 Vic, onlyFangio, made a business decision to exploit Cam and the Broncos shocked the Patriots in Foxborough. 18-12.
Huh?

Speaker 4 Huh?

Speaker 4 Down to Philadelphia, where the Ravens were serving up a dry Lamartini, taking shots of Eagles like they were Greycoose. Sanderspeed takes the hand off running free, running past these slower guys.

Speaker 4 This could be a scoring play. Destiny is calling me.
Oh, good. I've got my Eagles guy.

Speaker 4 Arthango wideside. The Ravens and a color performance.
Darley, Eagles, 28. You got a great voice, Boom.

Speaker 4 And Carolina, where size definitely matters with Teddy Bridgewater versus Nick Foles. Talking huge cocks, Boom.
Thank you, Tech.

Speaker 4 Skull Komet dipped into the end zone, and these Bears were tasting grizzly.

Speaker 4 Mike Davis Love III had the short game working, but it was the Monsters of the Midway that Matt ruled the day as Khalil Mac Miller and the Bears D

Speaker 4 had one of their best days ever. Now swimming at the top of the NFC, Norris, Bears 23, Panthers 16.
Whoop! Whoop!

Speaker 4 And Tampa Bay Watch, where Levante David Hasselhoff attacked the Cheeseheads like a late-night shirtless hamburger.

Speaker 4 On the offensive side of the ball, Cam Anderson Brayt seemed to be running in slow motion, but his counterpart Rob Gronkowski had a Carmen Electra performance.

Speaker 4 Tom Brady treated the Bucs offense like family, giving them mouth-to-mouth and a blowout win.

Speaker 4 And in a touching tribute to former Bucs legend Jameis Winston, Aaron Rodgers threw a pick six and did inappropriate things with his groin. Tampa Bay 38.
The Green Bay Kelly Packards 10.

Speaker 4 Oh, we finish in the city by the bay, Santa Clara, with the Battle of the Wiz kids.

Speaker 4 The balls seem to shrink in George Costanza Kittle's big hands, and don't call him Coco because the coronavirus can't catch him in the open field.

Speaker 4 Robert Tiger Woods brought his second and third cell phones and turned on the burners. You a sex addict?

Speaker 5 You addicted to sex?

Speaker 4 You got a problem with sex?

Speaker 4 Speaking of Tiger woods trent resner williams said i want to fuck you like an animal blocking for the niners run game and contrary to popular belief jimmy hoffa garoppolo is very much alive as he said to richard sherwin williams i heard you paint houses niners rams we're still watching with three minutes left all right week six we don't have a score because it's still going the rams just hit a bomb to actually make it a one-score game we said to ourselves let's start taping because this game feels out of reach.

Speaker 4 And just like that, we also have the

Speaker 4 Cody Bellinger and the Dodgers just hit a home run. So the Braves are the Braves.
We have those games still going on like we said at the start.

Speaker 4 We have two innings left in the baseball game, three minutes left in the football game. But we have week six to recap, PFT.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I'm very excited about week six. This was, it was a weird week.
Not so many great matchups.

Speaker 5 A big fuck you to the schedulers for only giving us two afternoon games, one of which was the Dolphins and the Jets. So really just one and a half afternoon games to watch.

Speaker 5 This is a situation where they should take like, I don't know, call it the

Speaker 5 Lions game from earlier, play it on time, but then just like show it to us as it's happening, as if it were happening in real time on the Red Zone channel in the afternoon game, just so I can like, you know, I can pretend that there are three games going on right afternoon.

Speaker 4 Right. We were going to say, Hank.

Speaker 8 I'm just confused because I asked that question on Twitter and everyone was like, I said, who chooses this? And they said the networks decide it. But is it the networks or the NFL?

Speaker 8 Like, who's in charge here?

Speaker 4 Roger Goodwill. Who can we yell at? Who can we yell at? Well, who's what?

Speaker 8 Like, should the NFL be like, well, fuck you, networks. We want to have, you know, entertain our fans.
Yeah. So is it the networks that run the NFL or does the NFL run the networks?

Speaker 4 And it was the

Speaker 4 afternoon slate was horrendous. Yes.
Like it was, we'll get to it, but those games were absolute snoozers.

Speaker 4 All right, so let's start with the Sunday night game. Like I said, we're going to update the Brave.
I mean, the Braves,

Speaker 4 actually, let's just start with this. Atlanta sports fans, I'm so sorry.

Speaker 4 I'm so sorry because I knew the minute that the Falcons won that the Braves would lose because you can't have both teams winning the same day.

Speaker 5 It just wasn't going to happen. And

Speaker 4 Georgia being like, this is when we're going to get Sabin and, you know, shorten season, and the defense is unbelievable. Just,

Speaker 4 it's really, really sad for Atlanta. I just, I feel really bad.
I really do.

Speaker 5 Well, I mean, you never know because it is the seventh inning right now, so they could come back and tie it.

Speaker 4 Playoff Kershaw.

Speaker 5 Playoff Kershaw could come in and give us all a little treat. I mean, baseball's got to be happy if it's going to be the the Dodgers and the Rays as opposed to the Braves.

Speaker 4 The Braves and the Rays. Yes.

Speaker 5 The Florida, Georgia Lions Series.

Speaker 4 I just want to say I'm sorry. So at the taping, at the time we're taping this, they're down 4-3 in the bottom of the seventh.
I'm sorry. Maybe they'll come back.
We will update if it happens.

Speaker 4 But right now, I'm sorry. I feel bad.
All right. Sunday night football.
The Battle of the Wiz, kids.

Speaker 4 Did you hear

Speaker 4 Al Michaels, and I actually, I'm okay with him screwing this up. He pretty much implied when he was saying, like, this is the son of Mike Shanahan and John Gruden going up against each other.

Speaker 4 And I was like, wait, that actually makes sense. Let's just start calling Sean McVay John Gruden's son.

Speaker 5 That's all he ever wanted to be in life.

Speaker 4 Yes.

Speaker 5 I mean, if you gave Sean McVay the option right now of disowning his own parents and being adopted by John Gruden, he would absolutely take that in a heartbeat.

Speaker 4 They also had the anecdote of the two of them like not being able. They're very close, but they can't talk to each other in the season because all they can talk about is football.

Speaker 4 So they're afraid they're going to tip each other off on what they're trying to do.

Speaker 5 So they just cut off all communication.

Speaker 4 They just can't. It's like us doing Save It for the Show.
Right, exactly.

Speaker 4 Like, we can't do this because I will accidentally tell you something cool I found out in my hours and hours of film study, and then you'll use it against me.

Speaker 5 I always just love when these two teams play each other, and we get to see all the pictures of how, like, the entire Washington R-Words coaching staff was filled with the best coaches in the NFL.

Speaker 4 And let them all walk away.

Speaker 5 And let them all walk away right now.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 4 This game, though, to me, was

Speaker 4 a classic NFL game in the case of you're never as bad as you look and you're never as good as you look. Like, the 49ers looked so bad against the Dolphins last week, and everyone

Speaker 4 was throwing dirt on them, and everyone was saying they suck. And the Rams have looked, for the most part, pretty good this season, but

Speaker 4 unless you're really, truly one of the worst teams in the NFL, you're just always a little bit better than your last game if your last game was a horrific loss.

Speaker 5 Yeah, especially if it was in prime time. Right.
Especially like if everybody paid attention to it and watched it. That's a major thing.

Speaker 4 And Kyle Shannon is such a good coach.

Speaker 5 He's a very good coach.

Speaker 4 He's not going to have them suck.

Speaker 4 There are certain coaches in the NFL. It's like, even if they don't have, even if they have injuries, even if their roster isn't great, they're still not going to suck.
And they could lose a lot.

Speaker 4 Like, remember when they had Nick Mullens playing the whole year, and I think they won like three or four games? Yeah. They were still competitive.
Right. And that's what good coaching is.

Speaker 5 Hand up. We might have overreacted last week when saying that Jimmy Garoppolo stinks and that he's probably not the best quarterback on that route.

Speaker 4 No, wait, we didn't say that.

Speaker 4 We said that he they brought him back too early.

Speaker 5 Yeah, so he is recovering from the high ankle sprain or is Trey Wing a call.

Speaker 4 Sometimes worse than a break.

Speaker 5 Just an ankle sprain.

Speaker 5 But he looks a lot better tonight, and he's moving around a little bit more than he did last week. So, you know what?

Speaker 5 Maybe we overreacted a little bit, but Jimmy looks...

Speaker 5 He looks good, but shout out to Al Michaels for saying you're not going to see a quarterback like Jimmy Garoppolo miss an open target downfield like that ever.

Speaker 4 It's like, Al, Al,

Speaker 5 I was alive in February. Yeah, we watched the Super.
I know it feels like, hey, remember Tiger King? This was right before that. It happened.
I watched it.

Speaker 5 So, yeah, I think both these teams are probably good. The NFC West is just so confusing to me.
Yeah. Because I don't think that there's like, obviously, the Seahawks are, you know, head and shoulders.

Speaker 5 But then their defense kind of stinks.

Speaker 4 And they play the weirdest games ever.

Speaker 5 Right. So any team in the NFC West could be any other team in the NFC West.

Speaker 4 It is the most, I would say, the most exciting division in the NFL. And maybe it's just payback for that year, like, what, 10 years ago when the 7 and 9 Seahawks won the division? The Beastquake.

Speaker 4 The Beastquake year. So this is payback.
Thank you.

Speaker 4 It took you 10 years, but this is payback.

Speaker 5 We appreciate it. People forget that the Seahawks used to be in the AFC.
Yeah. They're just a very, very strange franchise.

Speaker 4 Yes, they are. So it looks like the Niners, should we say they're back?

Speaker 5 Should we declare them back? Yeah, the Niners are officially back.

Speaker 4 Also, George Kittle is 100% back because I don't know how he got that open, but he deserves a couple easy ones. Yes.
Like, there are a couple.

Speaker 4 He gets so many of the hard ones where he has to fight off an entire team and be a man-up, like a bear and a lion, and just fighting through everyone.

Speaker 4 Every now and then, it's good to see him get one and just have no one around him.

Speaker 5 Yeah, get to run like 10 yards in the open field without somebody trying to rip his jaw off. Yes.
But yeah, Jimmy G looks pretty good, I'd say.

Speaker 5 I mean, Trent Williams looks awesome too. They're having him block Aaron Donald one-on-one a little bit and kind of dominate him.

Speaker 5 But yeah, the Niners are officially back, 100% back, meaning that they'll probably finish like 9-7 or whatever.

Speaker 4 Right, exactly, because they have a gauntlet coming up, actually.

Speaker 4 All right, let's get into the Sunday games. We'll start early.
By the way, this was overarching theme for this week was

Speaker 4 every single

Speaker 4 Fox, CBS, NBC figuring out how it started, how it's going, memes.

Speaker 5 And absolutely butchering them.

Speaker 4 They had the one, we were laughing so hard because they had the Big Ben one where it was Big Ben in high school and then Big Ben winning the Super Bowl, which happened like 10 years ago.

Speaker 4 So I don't know how that's how it's going.

Speaker 5 How's it going?

Speaker 4 But it's so funny when an entire

Speaker 4 industry figures out a meme at the exact same time because we saw it in every game. In every game, they were showing us how it's going, how it started.

Speaker 5 Next week, we're going to have the Pope meme. That's going to be on.
Almighty Google.

Speaker 4 We'll get planking at some point.

Speaker 4 Planking? Yeah. Yeah.
That'll be sick.

Speaker 5 Planking. I do feel like planking is due for a comeback, though.
Absolutely. Tua should have planked on the field after the game.

Speaker 4 Planking and the Bernie. Those are two things.
Take a flyer on them. Yeah, why not? And the internet was cool.

Speaker 5 One other thing about this Sunday night game, and I think it just went final. Yeah, so 24-16 Niners.
Jimmy G, he knows when the camera's on him. He's given that like little smile.
Well, he's hot.

Speaker 5 Yeah, that's the smile of a guy that knows that he's currently looking hot while he's smiling. Yes.
He knows when the cameras are on.

Speaker 5 Like, any given moment, you could just press pause when Jimmy Garoppolo is on there, and you'd end up with, like, a 10 out of a 10 bumble profile picture from him.

Speaker 4 Right. And he's got, you know, the gold.

Speaker 4 It looks hot. The whole thing is looking hot.
It should be the grief.

Speaker 4 I love when the Niners wear those uniforms they wore tonight.

Speaker 5 They're pretty sick.

Speaker 4 And the Rams.

Speaker 4 I'm not a fan of those ones.

Speaker 5 You don't like the Blueberries? I like the Blueberries better than I like the Grey.

Speaker 4 Salt. 50 Shades of Gray.

Speaker 5 Just get their asses kicked when they wear those uniforms. That's true.

Speaker 4 All right. Let's go into them.
Ravens, 30. Eagles, 28.
This game was actually very much in hand.

Speaker 4 Carson Wentz pulled a little bit of a Brett Favre where he was terrible in the first half and then brought them back in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 4 He was so bad in the beginning of the game. They had their first six drives.
They didn't get a first down.

Speaker 4 Jalen Hurts was actually the one who got their first first down. It's a little quarterback controversy for you.

Speaker 4 But so. I have actually two takeaways from this game.
And the first one is I'm still buying the Eagles.

Speaker 5 Yeah. So I think that they could have beaten the Ravens today.

Speaker 4 They could have beaten the Ravens.

Speaker 5 There's a possibility. I still think they have the talent, like, if they ever get healthy, but the Eagles will never get healthy.

Speaker 5 That's like, it's always a nice thing to say, like, it's dangling out in the future. If we have 100% healthy roster, we could beat most teams.

Speaker 5 I think in the Eagles' case, it's true, but like, you can't count on the Eagles to ever field a healthy roster. So they're betting on France to win awards.

Speaker 4 No, they're not going to do it, but I still, I'm still buying them because the NFC East is terrible. Dak Prescott got hurt.
And the next four games for the Eagles are Giants, Cowboys, Giants, Browns.

Speaker 4 I think they're going to go at least three and one. And we're going to be sitting here being like, watch out for the Eagles.
They're looking pretty good.

Speaker 4 And Carson Wentz, I think we talked about it a couple weeks ago, but it was the Niners game, the Sunday Night Niners game. He's kind of turned a corner of you're not terrible all the time.

Speaker 5 Right. When he's running with the ball, we talked about it last week, I think, how he extends himself and goes completely horizontal.

Speaker 5 But when he's he's getting tackled he has he doesn't have the internal clock that's like it's time to go down like you'll see two different sides of the same coin Ben Rothelsberger and Carson Wentz they both try to extend plays longer than they should yeah but at least Big Ben has the good sense to fake an injury before he gets actually injured right and crumples to the ground like takes a couple plays to shake it off Carson Wentz doesn't know to fake an injury before he gets actually injured so it looks like there's like a pack of seven will-te beasts trying to like tear or he's like a will-to-beast and they're like a bunch of hyenas trying to tear him down.

Speaker 5 And he ends up taking like that one extra step and tweaking himself.

Speaker 4 Yep. And this is going to sound very, very stupid, but I actually believe it.

Speaker 4 You know, Patrick Mahomes, I have that theory that no one hits him hard because everyone likes him.

Speaker 4 Remember the rumor that like no one liked Carson Wentz in his locker room, which was debunked by our friend Chris Long and debunked by other people, but whatever. There was smoke there.

Speaker 4 And I don't think Carson Wentz is a bad teammate.

Speaker 4 But I do think other players on other teams are like, fuck, this guy is a bad teammate I'm a Nick Foles guy I'm gonna fuck him up right they know that they're not they're not gonna get any payback if they hit him late like I heard you're a bad teammate dude which could be it's totally not true right but I think that that actually matters and they're like fuck this let's get him the eagles are also starting to use a lot of the pop passes which we saw So many pop passes from Jimmy G tonight.

Speaker 5 His passing stats are probably inflated by like three times just based on those little handoffs that happen to travel like an inch forward.

Speaker 4 Yes, it's Drew Brees offense.

Speaker 5 Yes, exactly. Except they're throwing an underhand.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 5 which Drew Brees should probably think about doing.

Speaker 5 But in this Ravens-Eagles game,

Speaker 5 Lamar Jackson, we've talked about Lamar Jackson.

Speaker 4 I think you're going to say my second point before I do, but I like this. No, no, go.

Speaker 4 You can bring it up.

Speaker 5 Lamar, he's not really that great playing with a small lead either. He needs a big lead.

Speaker 4 Yeah, he needs an enormous lead.

Speaker 5 Which he can get you. He can get you a big lead sometimes, but he's not really, we talk about him not being able to come from behind at all.

Speaker 5 Even if you're up by like two scores, he's just

Speaker 5 limited sometimes.

Speaker 4 And the Ravens got penalized a lot in this game, but I just, if you're a Ravens fan, I know I've had my history calling them frauds and all that stuff.

Speaker 4 I think even a Ravens fan who hates me for saying that will admit that the offense does not look like it did last year. I mean, last year they were incredible.

Speaker 4 Last year, their run game was better than some teams' past game. They were just ripping off yards left and right and essentially unable to be stopped.

Speaker 4 This year, they still look good, but it's that extra gear that's like they don't really have.

Speaker 4 And I think it's actually not Lamar because Lamar, you know, you could maybe say the passing game hasn't clicked for those big plays, but it's actually the other part of the running game outside of Lamar that hasn't been like just absolutely killer.

Speaker 4 Yeah. Where they're just running it down your throats and Mark Ingram and they're going for, you know, seven yards a pop.
It just doesn't feel the same. So I don't know if they'll figure it out.

Speaker 4 I don't know what's going on, but I think it's okay. And Ravens fans, you can tell me if I'm being unfair right now, which I don't think.

Speaker 4 I think deep down you know the same thing, that it just feels a little bit different.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I think the passing game doesn't look as good as it did last year at all.

Speaker 4 Like Lamar hasn't made as many. The home run ties haven't been there either.
Yeah.

Speaker 5 Exactly. I do think that the kicking game is still on point.
And Justin Tucker, I was watching him kick.

Speaker 5 He kicks, like, he's going to hit the moon one day. Yeah.
Like, his field goals go so fucking high. But I'd like to give a shout out.
I don't know who their holder is.

Speaker 5 I think they have the best holder in the league no one talks about that

Speaker 5 but the holding game is a very it's a very intricate part of the kicking game would make sense because you have to put it down on that one blade of grass that the kicker wants it on yep they have an underrated holder whoever that is yes good job to that guy good job to you holder wait it might be that guy we oh no we had the long sentence morgan cox right that's morgan cox the cox uh sialis campbell Kalaeus Campbell, he said after the game, this team has championship DNA.

Speaker 5 And I thought that was interesting because he's, you know,

Speaker 5 as a person who's been in the Cardinals and Jaguars locker room for 10 years, he knows championship DNA. You feel it.
When he sees it. But by the way, he's probably got the best voice in the NFL.

Speaker 5 Oh, yeah. Kalase Campbell.
Oh yeah.

Speaker 5 You can say anything.

Speaker 5 It's going to sound great. But yeah,

Speaker 5 I think the Ravens defense isn't the same Ravens defense that we think that's.

Speaker 4 The whole team, in this, again, the Ravens are very, very good.

Speaker 4 We're nitpicking a five-in-one team.

Speaker 4 I'm excited. I think they play the Steelers next week.
I'm excited for for that game.

Speaker 5 I don't deem them worthy of examination.

Speaker 4 Well, right. It just feels a little bit different, and it's okay to.
I mean, you could make the argument for every team right now, so we're probably doing a little bit too much in nitpicking.

Speaker 4 But what else are you going to say for a five-in-one team? They're really, really good. They're also, it feels a little bit different than last year when they were just killing people.

Speaker 4 Ravens holder is their punker, Sam Cook. So there we go.
Great holder.

Speaker 4 So

Speaker 4 I saw, too, that the Eagles' Twitter account, whoever runs that account, everyone knows that I'm obsessed with the tweets after a bad loss.

Speaker 4 They tweeted, fought until the end.

Speaker 4 And let me tell you, Eagles fans were not happy with that. Really? Yeah.

Speaker 5 Because that is like the Eagles fan way. Maybe if the Eagles...

Speaker 4 We're knocked out, but we're still fighting.

Speaker 5 Exactly. We're going to keep throwing punches and throwing up on people.

Speaker 4 There was a video of a brawl in the 300 level with... 5,000 people in the stands, and Philly still found a way to fight.

Speaker 5 Yeah, well, the dude was wearing a Ravens jersey inside Lincoln Financial School. He was asking for it.
You have to ask about the elements of provocation.

Speaker 4 And then the last thing I had for this game,

Speaker 4 we discussed this a little bit off air because we were just, we sit and basically every Sunday we sit, watch every game, make jokes and half-baked ideas and say stupid shit.

Speaker 4 And the two-point conversion was terrible by the Eagles to end the game.

Speaker 4 And I said that Doug Peterson seems like a guy that if you peeled back his skull, his his skin and his skull, there'd just be a big bowl of beef stew where his brain should be.

Speaker 4 And like that just felt, I don't know why, but it feels like he's a beef stew brain type of guy.

Speaker 5 Yeah, just hardy,

Speaker 5 maybe not the most intelligent person, but like masculine.

Speaker 4 But good. Fills you up.

Speaker 5 Yeah, fills you up.

Speaker 4 Also, he feels like a guy who, if he was, if like you made beef stew, he would get force. Yes.
He'd be like, yeah, let me have some more. And then just start farting on your couch.

Speaker 4 He'd be like, that's actually a compliment to the chef.

Speaker 5 And his brain gets better over the course of the season as all the ingredients start to marinate and marry inside of itself. So the later you go with him, the stronger he is as a coach.

Speaker 5 John Harbaugh's brain, I feel like, would be

Speaker 5 maybe just popcorn.

Speaker 4 No. Just a bunch of popcorn.
No, John Harbaugh, he's like...

Speaker 5 Pasta.

Speaker 5 Here's what he is. He's like, he's linguine.
with like butter, like a very simple sauce.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I like that. I also would say he's a bunch of perfectly sharpened pencils.
Okay. Sitting like he's a pencil holder inside of his brain.

Speaker 5 And he's got a pencil sharpener in there. Like the one,

Speaker 5 it's a bunch of pencils that are in the process of being sharpened. Right.
And the old school Boston pencil sharpener that used to be mounted to your wall.

Speaker 4 Yeah, so we'll start. We got to start updating coaches and what's inside of their brains if you peeled it back.

Speaker 5 I feel like Belichick has just like a hyper-intelligent, pissed-off frog. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Or he has, Belichick just has like a mini Ernie Adams, like a a doll set. It's just Ernie Adams playing in his office.

Speaker 5 Or my theory is maybe Belichick has another Belichick inside of his head that's controlling the outside Belichicks. Yes.
Like the alien and Men in Black.

Speaker 5 There was like one of those small ones that is like pulling all the levers. I think there's just a smaller Bill Belichick that's telling big Bill Belichick what to do.

Speaker 4 And some of them are super easy. Like Bruce Arians, I think we can both agree, it's just Mai Tai.
Crown Royale. Just a ton of shitload of Mai Tai.
It's squashing around in his brain.

Speaker 5 It's a purple Crown Royal velvet bag. And then inside of that.
It's a Mai Tai.

Speaker 4 It's a Mai Tie. He's like, yeah, he wants some of Bruce's special sauce.
And it's like, wait, is this Crown Royal? No, it's my Mai Tie. Yeah.

Speaker 4 All right, yeah. So we'll update the...
And, oh, for Sunday Night Football, I think, I think in Shanahan's brain.

Speaker 5 A BMX bike.

Speaker 4 Yeah, it's a BMX bike with pegs on it.

Speaker 4 But it's also a little mini Shanahan saying, don't talk to McVay, and vice versa. Yeah.
Being like, do whatever you do, don't talk to your friend.

Speaker 5 Or they've got each other inside their own heads. Yes.
Sean McVay has a a little mini Cal Shanahan head right underneath the surface.

Speaker 4 With a BMX bike, and then in Shanahan's head is a little McVay with his shirt off. Yeah.
And maybe a

Speaker 4 perfectly sharpened beard with his Phillips Norelco one blade. And

Speaker 5 inside that head of Sean McVay, inside Cal Shanahan's head is John Gruden's head.

Speaker 4 Yes. Oh, Pete Carroll, isn't there a wall in Seattle with the gum wall? Yeah.
That's just his brain. His brain, yeah.

Speaker 4 It's just thousands and thousands of pieces of chewed gum.

Speaker 5 Either that or his brain is just wrapped in it with a double bubble wrapper, like the yellow one with the twisty ends on either side.

Speaker 4 Yeah, well, no, it's actually a gum. It's gum, but the gum makes up the twin towers.
Ooh, yeah, inside of his brain. For sure.
All right, we'll update as we go along the season.

Speaker 4 But yeah, beef stew for Doug Peterson. Yes, that's his.
Nice, hardy, big chunks of beef.

Speaker 5 Maybe some barley in there, too.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 5 Really warms you up. Yes.

Speaker 4 I'm just thinking of Mike Tomlin. He's just got a bunch of riddles in his head.
Oh, Jesus.

Speaker 4 It's a bunch of really hard to figure out riddles.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I think it's like a fortune.

Speaker 4 He wrote for himself.

Speaker 5 It's a fortune cookie, but the cookie is a brick, just like a cinder block, and you have to crack open the cinder block and then you pull out a riddle that makes absolutely no sense to anybody except for Mike Tomlinson.

Speaker 5 Yes. His brain is just an enigma machine that's designed with a code that only he knows how to translate.

Speaker 4 Oh, fuck. Yeah, we'll do more.

Speaker 4 They're off the cuff as we come up with them. All right, next game.
Texans, Titans.

Speaker 4 Romeo Cornell. I love this decision.
So the Texans played really well against the Titans. They take the lead 36 to 29 with two minutes left to play.

Speaker 4 Romeo Cornell goes for two to try to go up nine, doesn't get it. The Titans come down, score, kick the field goal or the extra point, tie the game, and then go into overtime and win.

Speaker 4 I love this move by Romeo Cornell. I know it's probably not the best math move, but you're one and four.
You're the interim head coach. You're not going to get the head coaching job.

Speaker 5 Fuck it.

Speaker 4 You know what I mean? Like, fuck it. Like, this is one of those two.

Speaker 5 Because nine is more points than seven points is.

Speaker 4 Right. And this is one of those decisions where the numbers might not back it up, but it's a total gut feel of how your team is.
And, like, hey, let's go try to fucking get a win.

Speaker 4 Let's go try to steal a win.

Speaker 5 You can't stop Derrick Henry. You haven't been able to stop him the entire time.
So you might as well. Basically, Romeo Cronel is admitting they're going to score on us.

Speaker 5 Hopefully we can stop them on their two-point conversion. Right.
And fuck with it that way.

Speaker 4 No, no, if if they got the two-point conversion, they would have won the game because they would have been up nine.

Speaker 5 That's right, yeah. So they're saying like

Speaker 5 he's saying if we kick a field goal, they're going to come down the field and score, and then we have to try to stop Derrick Henry on a two-point conversion, which we probably won't be able to do.

Speaker 4 So fuck it. Let's just go to the next one.

Speaker 4 Let's just end it.

Speaker 5 Also, big shout-out to Mike Vrabel, the time traveler. Mike Vrabel figured out a new way.
to to bend time.

Speaker 5 So remember in the playoffs when it was like him and Belichick having a stare-down, trying to figure out like who can milk the most time off the clock, who can stop the clock in these weird ways.

Speaker 5 It was in the fourth quarter, and

Speaker 5 Vrabel did an intentional too many men in the huddle on defense because it was like second and one.

Speaker 5 The Texans were obviously going to convert, you know, either on the next play or the play after that. They would have milked another

Speaker 5 40 seconds to minute and a half off the clock. Vrabel took.
the too many men penalty, gave them a first down, but it also stopped the clock.

Speaker 5 So he ended up saving himself like another 30 seconds of time. This guy.
He just, he is the clock master.

Speaker 4 He's the timekeeper. Yes.
He knows every little trick.

Speaker 5 He does. And then

Speaker 5 I think Deshaun Watson is the most sympathetic character in the NFL right now.

Speaker 4 Yeah. The, oh, poor Deshaun Watson

Speaker 4 world that just goes off. Like, can you like, Deshaun Watson is getting wasted.
Deshaun Watson, this is so sad.

Speaker 5 Yes. It's not only that, but he's actually using his power for good now across the entire NFL because now it became, became, oh, Deshaun Watson's not even going to get to touch the ball in overtime.

Speaker 5 Right. The overtime rules are broken.
They stink. So now they need to change the overtime rules because of Deshaun Watson.

Speaker 5 Like we went through this with Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs a couple years ago. Even that couldn't get it done.
But Deshaun Watson is like, everyone just looks at him and it's like, man, I'm sorry.

Speaker 5 You're really good. I wish that we could help you out a little bit more.

Speaker 4 Maybe that's the new rules. Just

Speaker 4 the rules stay as is, but if Deshaun Watson is involved, he definitely gets to touch the ball.

Speaker 5 We want to see Deshaun Watson get.

Speaker 5 And the funny thing is, like, if he got the ball in overtime, he probably just would have gotten drilled and broken his back.

Speaker 5 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Quick update, by the way, to your good, bad teams. I think the Texans are number one now.

Speaker 5 Texans are number one.

Speaker 4 Because the Vikings can get to. They've lost that power.

Speaker 5 They stink, yeah.

Speaker 4 Because the Texans are going to be. I think their schedule gets a little bit easier.
They did a good job blocking for Deshaun today. Will Fuller has not been hurt yet.

Speaker 4 I think they're going to get frisky. I think they're going to get frisky here.
They're going to win a couple games.

Speaker 4 The Texans are definitely top of my list of team to beat a playoff team with championship aspirations late in the season and be like, damn, that sucks for them.

Speaker 5 Yes, I'll put it this way.

Speaker 5 Later on in the season, when you're going through the upcoming schedules for the teams that are in the hunt and on the bubble, when you see the Texans, that's not a surefire W that you pencil in at that point.

Speaker 4 Nope, definitely not.

Speaker 5 Yeah, so Texans, Titans, Titans are really, really good, Derrick Henry.

Speaker 4 Now, Ryan Tannehill. Yes.
Ryan Tannehill

Speaker 4 is.

Speaker 4 We made made all the jokes in the world, but the step has been taken. It has fully been taken.

Speaker 4 This is not a statistical anomaly anymore because last year, at the end of the year, we're like, oh, he's doing it, but he's just playing out of his head. We're now six weeks into the 2020 season.

Speaker 4 He's got 13 touchdowns, two interceptions. He's on pace for 42 touchdowns, six interceptions, and 4,700 yards.
Yes. He's good.

Speaker 5 Has there ever been a quarterback that has gotten this much better this late in his career? Well, because this is not the same.

Speaker 5 He's aging like a, not a fine wine, but like a perfectly serviceable, but maybe a little bit overpriced wine.

Speaker 4 We'll get to it, but it's pretty clear there's really only one reason behind all of this.

Speaker 5 Dr. Cito.
No.

Speaker 4 He got away from Adam Gase. Yep.
Like this is...

Speaker 4 We'll talk about Adam Gase later when we get to the Jets Dolphins. Uh-huh.
But maybe the worst indictment on Adam Gace's resume is how good. Ryan Tannehill is.

Speaker 5 Well, yeah, and when you're with Adam Gase, first you must learn all the ways not to be good at football before you can really explain.

Speaker 5 It's like Socrates used to say, like, the wisest man knows that he knows nothing. After spending that much time with Adam Gace, you know that you're dumb as shit, right? You're under no illusion.

Speaker 5 Like, Ryan Tannehill didn't go to Tennessee thinking, you know, the starting job was going to be handed to him, that he was, like, hot shit.

Speaker 5 He's like, no, I know I've spent all this time with the world's biggest dunce. So I'm a blank slate right now.

Speaker 4 Right, right.

Speaker 4 So, yeah, Ryan Tannehill, very good. Shout out to our guy, Taylor Luan.
I think he might have torn his ACL. We don't have confirmation, right? They think, they fear.

Speaker 4 They fear.

Speaker 4 All right. I hope he's okay.
He's positive, not reporting.

Speaker 9 Also, to your point of good, bad teams, there are nine teams with just one win right now.

Speaker 4 It's very ugly up top. And the Jets.
Double-digit teams with zero or one wins.

Speaker 5 There's a lot of shit out there.

Speaker 5 People want Trevor Lawrence.

Speaker 4 Yes,

Speaker 4 they do. They do.

Speaker 4 I don't know. I think the Titans are good.
I just don't know.

Speaker 4 Every game they play is is close. I guess they beat the fuck out of the Bills.

Speaker 5 Well, we get to see them finally play the Steelers this week.

Speaker 4 Oh, so it's Steelers-Titans this week. Yes.
Ravens, Titans, or Ravens, Steelers, is a couple weeks from now. But yeah, Steelers, Titans.
So one of those teams,

Speaker 4 well, maybe they'll tie.

Speaker 5 That'd be great. It's just not fair that Tractor Sito was the fastest ball carrier this week.
You can't be that big and also be that fast.

Speaker 4 He's so damn good, and he's good way too early in the year, which is not fair.

Speaker 4 All right. Next up, Bengals, Colts.
I just wrote down poor Burrough. That's all I wrote.
Yeah. Literally all I wrote because he's good.
And

Speaker 4 there was that moment where he was trying to drive him. And you see it with young quarterbacks when their offensive line is so, so bad.
And Joe Burrow's a tough motherfucker.

Speaker 4 But he, like, he had three seconds. And then he almost, he kind of flinched in the pocket because he was just expecting to get smoked.

Speaker 4 And then he, but it was the one time his offensive line actually blocked for him. And he stood back up and completed the pass.

Speaker 5 He was like, I have no no idea.

Speaker 5 I've never been here for this long before without getting a cleat shoved into my mouth. But

Speaker 5 I noticed one thing about Joe Burrow today. He gets a lot of, he gets great spots after he completes passes.
This has happened over the last like three or four weeks. He'll throw it A.J.

Speaker 4 Green spot? Yeah, he'll throw a guy open to

Speaker 5 just about dead level with the sticks. They'll give him another yard.
I think it's the refs being like, hey, we know your offense sucks. Your line is not good.

Speaker 4 And the Bengals being up 21-0, I I think we all thought, like, okay, well, how are the Bengals going to blow this? Because it was 21-0, but it was like, okay, this is, this can't.

Speaker 4 Like, they got to be up 28-0 for us to start really thinking. Right.
And, and, of course, the Colts, I think, were down only three and a half. The Colts, I don't know what to make of the Colts.

Speaker 4 I really don't. I think I have to stop.
I'm not betting on them for the rest of the year because I just can't. They're too weird.

Speaker 4 They're just a weird team, and Phil Rivers has just gone to full shot put. Like, he,

Speaker 4 if you watch Phil Rivers, you isolate his throwing motion at this point of his career, you would not think he's plays any sport.

Speaker 4 No, you'd be like, that's the first time that guy, you'd think he's a crossfitter.

Speaker 5 Yeah, this guy delivers mail. Right.
That's what I would, not a cross, Phil Rivers, a crossfitter.

Speaker 4 No, I'm saying the, the, like,

Speaker 4 athletic build, but doesn't know how to hold a ball. Right.

Speaker 4 You just throw him a ball and he'll drop it. Yeah.
Like, what's going on here?

Speaker 5 To me, he looks like an aging college basketball coach. Yeah.
Like someone who used to be the hot shit that's kind of let themselves go a couple seasons worth of the grind has gotten to him.

Speaker 5 He just looks like a sweaty, he does look like a sweaty UPS driver. Yeah.
And yeah, he's going like full sidearm with a lot of his throws. He's not fully extending his elbow, but it works sometimes.

Speaker 5 And when they got out to that 21-0 lead, when the Bengals took the lead, like you were saying, it was not safe. I said when they were up 21-0, I was like, they're going to blow this game.

Speaker 5 It's like if you have a dream and everything in your dream is happening so perfectly, you tell yourself in your your dream, like, this is a dream. This isn't real.
Yeah, this is not real.

Speaker 4 This is not what's happening.

Speaker 5 No chance for me.

Speaker 4 This is no chance.

Speaker 5 And then sure enough, they woke up in the second half. And

Speaker 5 you remember Geno Atkins? Yeah. Is he still a thing?

Speaker 4 I think so.

Speaker 5 I haven't heard the name Geno Atkins in at least 18 months.

Speaker 4 I don't think so.

Speaker 5 And he's really good.

Speaker 4 Yeah, no, I mean, he was incredible. Those years,

Speaker 4 yes, he is still a thing. Those years when he, when the Dalton Bengals, when everyone was like, watch out for the Dalton Bengals, it was pretty much because of Geno Atkins.

Speaker 5 It was Geno Atkins and Domino Din Sue and Aaron Donnelly.

Speaker 4 Oh,

Speaker 5 those are like the defensive tackles that you talk about. Maybe Gerald McCoy, too.
Yes. But yeah, Geno Akkin.
Remember Geno Atkins? Yes. He was good.
I'd like to hear his name more often. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Fat Randy.

Speaker 4 Fat Randy's the best kicker in the league now.

Speaker 4 Oh, actually, he doinks.

Speaker 5 He doinks, which is perfect. Yes.
That's actually.

Speaker 4 But he also hit like a 58-yarder. So Fat Randy, like,

Speaker 4 credit to us for pushing you to those heights.

Speaker 5 When he doinks, when it should just be like a giant tuba sound effect.

Speaker 4 Boom. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Yeah, just following him around.

Speaker 4 All right. Falcons, Vikings.

Speaker 4 So the ghost of Dan Quinn. The Falcons, they have the death rattle.
They bounce back. Classic Vikings, Kirk Cousins, three interceptions.

Speaker 4 Actually, let's start with the Vikings because I have an idea for Vikings fans. Okay.

Speaker 4 Stop. Rooting for the Vikings this year.
Stop caring about the Vikings this year. Pretend that the Vikings, that you are just, they're a fantasy football team and you just have Justin Jefferson.

Speaker 4 Buy his jersey, like track, don't track the wins and losses. Don't track the actual final score for the Vikings.
Just be like, Justin Jefferson had nine catches for 166 yards and two touchdowns.

Speaker 4 That's a win for us. That's fun.
Like that's all you should do. Just minimize it.
Just hone in. Only watch him.
And you'll probably have a lot better of a time.

Speaker 5 Yeah, maybe tune in occasionally to try to catch a glimpse of the fights that Adam Thielen and Kirk Cousins get in with each other on the sidelines and those hilarious little lovers quarrels that they have.

Speaker 5 I think we said a couple years ago it was like watching two corgis in a dog fight when Thielen and Kirk and Cousins have little life vests on, too.

Speaker 4 Yeah, they're just adorbs. They're just corgis into the water.

Speaker 5 They're the most adorbs when they fight. They're so cute.
They have the funny little crinkle nose.

Speaker 5 It's like two Canadians trying to like in an argument over who's going to buy the other person's coffee. Right.

Speaker 4 That's what

Speaker 4 Horsen's paying ahead.

Speaker 5 That's what I assume they're yelling at each other about. But yeah, Justin Jefferson is awesome.
I think

Speaker 5 he's taking the throne of the coolest new touchdown dance that I don't totally understand yet. And I'll learn what the dance is, what it's in.

Speaker 4 What was he doing?

Speaker 5 Was he doing the gritty? Yeah, he's doing the gritty. Oh, yeah.
So, like, you give me another couple weeks to actually figure out and wrap my brain around what the gritty is. It's an LSU guys thing.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 5 You just look awesome when you do it. Yes.

Speaker 4 The Falcons do have the ghost of Dan Quinn on the sideline because at the end of the first half, and the Falcons were, this was a no-doubter.

Speaker 4 They were up and they were winning this game the whole time. But at the end of the first half, there were seven seconds left.
They were on the goal line, second in goal,

Speaker 4 and they had a timeout, and they ran the ball, called the timeout, and kicked a field goal. And I was like, you know what? It's good.

Speaker 4 I actually think Raheem Morris is like, this one's for Coach Corey. Yeah,

Speaker 5 pouring out a three-pointer for Dan.

Speaker 4 Yeah, let's do everything you're supposed to do. Let's do the opposite here and make sure that we get three points.

Speaker 5 I think that it's going to come down to the Falcons and the Texans. What they're playing for right now is the right to present the best case to Eric Bienname to be their head coach next year.

Speaker 4 So

Speaker 4 get ready for the Falcons because

Speaker 4 Lions

Speaker 4 at Panthers, Broncos at Saints, home against the Raiders. I think they can go 4-1 in that stretch.

Speaker 5 Let's go. Combine back in.

Speaker 4 Because I don't know what it ⁇ it speaks to just how bad Dan Quinn was as a coach because he's a defensive guy. But Raheem Morris had them playing defense today.

Speaker 4 Like, that wasn't, it wasn't, oh, Matt Ryan finally started. Matt Ryan played great, but their defense was so much better than it has been.

Speaker 4 So, I think, I think you're going to get, I think Raheem Morris might fuck around and just get this job.

Speaker 5 We also got a rare glimpse of the supportive version of Arthur Blank lurking on the sidelines and encouragement.

Speaker 4 Same as the non-supportive, looked exactly the same. He doesn't have any other look in his life.

Speaker 5 He just wants people to know that sometimes he can creep you out because he's happy. Right.

Speaker 4 And again,

Speaker 4 Falcons winning today means the Braves had no chance of winning. And I feel very bad for Braves fans.
They're now down to their final out just to update. So

Speaker 4 sorry. But Braves fans knew this was going to happen.

Speaker 5 I do like the Falcons jerseys today, too. The white Falcons ones.
Yes.

Speaker 5 Those are much nicer than the fake throwback ones that they sometimes.

Speaker 4 Yes, yes. Okay, before we do the next game, let's do a quick ad.

Speaker 5 By the way, Kirk Cousins, league high, 10 interceptions.

Speaker 4 Ooh.

Speaker 5 Nature is healing.

Speaker 4 New sponsor alert. Yes.
New sponsor alert.

Speaker 4 PFT. We got a new sponsor.
Very excited, everyone.

Speaker 5 I'm super excited. Hank, what was that?

Speaker 5 That was a sponsor alert.

Speaker 4 Yeah, okay.

Speaker 10 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 10 Whether you order catering platters ahead from your local Boarshead retailer, or you create your own spread at home with Boarshead premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress your guests.

Speaker 10 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing blazing buffalo-style chicken, paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy Munster cheese, are sure to score big and help me elevate my entertainment every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 10 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering.

Speaker 5 Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 4 Okay, next up,

Speaker 4 Hank,

Speaker 4 Broncos 18, Patriots 12.

Speaker 4 If I told you before this game that Drew Locke Locke would be 10 for 24 with two interceptions and the Broncos wouldn't score a touchdown, what would you have said the final score would be?

Speaker 8 24 to 6.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 4 So the Broncos instead decided to field goal the Patriots to death with six field goals. I love when a team wins with just field goals.
18 to 12.

Speaker 4 The Patriots do have a banged-up offensive line.

Speaker 8 And they're dealing with a global pandemic.

Speaker 4 And they're dealing with a global pandemic.

Speaker 5 They weren't allowed to practice, right? They had limited practice reps.

Speaker 8 Bill Belichick shut the facility down out of caution, safety. He cares about the players and the safety of his people

Speaker 8 more so than winning. In a regular year, it'd be

Speaker 8 down in the dumb doom and gloom.

Speaker 4 But

Speaker 8 I think we all can agree that we're just worried about the player's safety and everyone.

Speaker 5 You want to get through the season healthy. Right.

Speaker 4 Uh-huh. Right.

Speaker 5 What do you think that the chances are that the Patriots missed the playoffs entirely this year?

Speaker 8 Zero.

Speaker 4 Zero percent chance. Zero percent chance.

Speaker 8 Zero percent.

Speaker 4 I think this is the first time they're under 500 in like 2002. Jesus Christ.
That's crazy.

Speaker 5 That is crazy. Welcome to the club, Hank.
It's just, it's comforting just seeing you go through what we've all gone through as fans of normal football teams.

Speaker 8 But this isn't a normal year. If it was a normal year, it'd be a completely different story.
But it's like, we, I mean, they couldn't play, Cam couldn't play two weeks ago.

Speaker 8 They haven't been able to practice. They didn't practice.
Every team does a run-through on Saturday. They didn't because of COVID.
Somehow, the game probably should have gotten postponed.

Speaker 4 I'm not going to be that guy. Yeah, but you did.

Speaker 8 But it seems like they postponed last week, and then the same thing happened this week. But since there was a schedule problem, the NFL was just like, yeah, let's just play.

Speaker 4 How are you feeling about Cam?

Speaker 4 He had double everyone else combined rushing on the Patriots. And also, Julian Edelman had two passes.

Speaker 8 Yeah, I mean, that was kind of coming. I mean, that's one of those things where it's like you can tell when the Patriots are down and they're really pulling out all the stops.

Speaker 8 They pulled out the Edelman pass twice.

Speaker 4 Yes.

Speaker 8 So they're just trying to get it going.

Speaker 8 I'm not worried.

Speaker 4 Give us two weeks.

Speaker 8 Give us a week of a normal practice, normal schedule, and I have no doubt that we'll be back to where we need to be.

Speaker 5 Also, the Broncos are cursed.

Speaker 4 Since they're just low-key, it's like they're just a weird team for the Patriots.

Speaker 5 I think within like two minutes of each other, Big Cat and I independently put curses on the Broncos

Speaker 5 for

Speaker 5 cutting our friend Blake Bortles over the weekend. Now, you might say, wait, they can't possibly be cursed.
They just beat the Patriots.

Speaker 5 Fact check, they have not scored a touchdown since they cut Blake Bortles.

Speaker 4 Right, their offense, yeah, and Drew Locke threw two interceptions.

Speaker 5 Anemic offense. Yes.

Speaker 4 Yes. You know what?

Speaker 5 This is the first time I can ever remember even thinking about using the A word, the anemic word for the Patriots offense. It does look kind of anemic, Hank.

Speaker 4 The Miami Dolphins are ahead of you in the Standings.

Speaker 8 That's fine. I mean, it's Patriots, former Patriots coach.

Speaker 4 Brian Flores. So you root for that.

Speaker 8 No, but it's not surprising because it's like.

Speaker 5 Hank has a flowchart. If it's not the Patriots, then it's second would be Tom Brady.

Speaker 5 And then after that, it's any coach who's ever had a cup of coffee.

Speaker 4 Yes. Yeah.
What's wrong with that?

Speaker 4 So Philip Lindsay was back. He looked good.
Melvin Gordon, double the DUI, and then the strep throat. Those have to be related.

Speaker 5 Yeah. Maybe he blew into a dirty breathalyzer.

Speaker 4 And now he can sue the Denver police officers. Yeah.

Speaker 4 This game sucked, though. This was one of those red zone games we didn't really see much of.

Speaker 5 Just flew by.

Speaker 4 So

Speaker 4 instead, I would like to talk about Tim Tebow's tweet. We got to talk about Tim Tebow's tweet.
So Tim Tebow on Friday,

Speaker 4 I'm actually shocked that we didn't just stop everything and do an emergency show for this tweet.

Speaker 4 Sometimes parody...

Speaker 4 Like when we parody something and then someone does it for real and you're like, whoa, this is too freaky.

Speaker 4 He tweeted, would you rather be respected or liked? Imagine if we didn't have like buttons, but instead we had respect buttons. Would you rather have 110 likes or 34 respects?

Speaker 5 Definitely 110 likes.

Speaker 4 Why 34 respects, by the way?

Speaker 5 Why is it there's the conversion ratio?

Speaker 4 That's how many people like your tweets, but don't respect you? Uh-huh.

Speaker 4 The remaining like 70 plus? Yeah.

Speaker 5 Damn. Well, he's probably taking into account like irony and sarcastic likes of

Speaker 5 it. So he actually understands Twitter more than you think that he does.
Unbelievable. How high was Tim Tebow when he came up with this?

Speaker 4 On life? On God?

Speaker 5 Yeah, just huffing fucking through the roof. Yeah, just huffing church air.

Speaker 4 Yeah. As high as high could be.
Yeah. As high as I was when I thought that the Alabama, Georgia over didn't hit, and I tweeted, fuck this kicker for not hitting the field goal.

Speaker 4 He fucked our over, and then everyone was like, dude, we hit the over an hour.

Speaker 5 Shout out 3C.

Speaker 4 That high.

Speaker 5 So it's Tim Tebow coming up with the whole, like, this is a Michael Scott riff, essentially. And also, it's the F button in Call of Duty.
Yes. F.
Yes. It gives respects, right?

Speaker 4 Is that true?

Speaker 4 Oh.

Speaker 4 So I was just getting respects all that time. I would love

Speaker 8 to

Speaker 8 pay respects of a dead guy.

Speaker 4 Oh, okay. Maybe luck that part.

Speaker 5 If Tebow came out with his own version of Twitter.com. Yeah.
But it was all based around mutual respect. Respecting each other.
I would just, I would smash that button on every girl on my timeline.

Speaker 5 Yeah.

Speaker 4 This might actually fix the, like, social media. Everyone's mad at Facebook, mad at Instagram, mad at Twitter.
Just have respect. Yeah.
Respect books.

Speaker 5 I respect when Hunter Biden does cocaine with his friends. Respect.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 Done. Respect.
All right. So that was Broncos Patriots.
Washington football team, Giants. Yep.

Speaker 4 Joe Judge off the Schneide. He said afterwards, when the players lose, I feel bad for the players.
When the players win, I'm happy for the players. So that's

Speaker 4 Judge. Joe Judge has like a singular stick figure in his brain.
Ooh, I know. Just like waving.

Speaker 5 I would say

Speaker 5 himself.

Speaker 4 Joe Judge

Speaker 5 has like an autographed portrait of a shirtless John Taffer in his brain with accountability tattooed across the chest.

Speaker 4 Yes, yes. So Joe Judge, quite a quote.
But yeah, the Giants have a win. This was the unofficial,

Speaker 4 there's going to be a lot of Tank for Trevor Lawrence games, but this was definitely one of them that we can look back at. Also, the Giants.

Speaker 4 Say something nice about the Giants. The Giants defense actually is frisky.

Speaker 4 They're decent. Like, they're, I think, they're top 10 in yards allowed.

Speaker 4 They're not terrible.

Speaker 4 So, you can, if you're a Giants fan, you're looking at that and like, maybe we can, because that's really what it's all about when your team sucks: is find one unit, one player, anything to be like, well, if we just build this up, we'll be good.

Speaker 5 I think that the Giants are the best conditioned team in the NFL. They don't get very tired at the end of the game.
No, that's what I would focus on if I was a Giants fan.

Speaker 5 They run fast in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 4 Yes. And now, what is the

Speaker 4 football team's plan at quarterback? Because

Speaker 4 it doesn't seem like there is one anymore. A plan.
Well, Haskins was sick.

Speaker 5 He still has diarrhea.

Speaker 4 Yeah, he's sick.

Speaker 5 Haskins still has diarrhea. He was not at the office this week at all because he's just been on the toilet shitting his brains out.
They should stick with that.

Speaker 5 They should say he was not benched for performance.

Speaker 5 He's just had the runs for the last like three weeks.

Speaker 5 And that's really the only way that you can maximize trade value because they realize after the fact that like openly announcing that Dwayne Haskins hasn't made a single bit of improvement since Ron Rivera's been coaching him, Not a great way to try to get a high draft pick for Dwayne when you move on from him.

Speaker 5 You got to put him back in. Just say, yeah, you have to put him back in against a shitty team.
Hope that, well, I mean, it doesn't get much. This would have been the week.

Speaker 4 Put him back in for practice.

Speaker 5 Put him back in in practice. Have, oh, have like a viral video come out of

Speaker 5 practice one day where he just throws a sick pass down the sidelines to Terry McLaurin for like 55 yards, puts it on time. Yep.
Just use that and be like, his butt's better.

Speaker 5 He's no longer squirting out fudge. He's back to slaying guns.

Speaker 5 So I think that's really the only way that you can maximize the trade value because otherwise every team's just like, we know that you hate him.

Speaker 4 Right.

Speaker 5 And there's something up here. There's something going on.

Speaker 4 There's something up here.

Speaker 5 It's not going to work out. Just say it's the water in D.C.
He's allergic to the water in D.C. It makes him shit all the time.

Speaker 5 If he just had a new change of scenery, maybe like, I don't know, send him out to Detroit. He'd love the Detroit water.
He'd love the San Francisco water. He'd love.
The problem is, you know what?

Speaker 5 There are too many quarterbacks in the NFL right now. Yes.
There aren't enough teams that have like a dire, dire situation.

Speaker 4 No, and there's more coming in, like Justin Fields, you know, Trevor Lawrence, Trey Lance.

Speaker 4 There's going to be, I do think that we're in a great spot for quarterbacks in the NFL right now.

Speaker 5 We've got kind of a log jam.

Speaker 4 We've come through the, remember a few years ago when it was like, man, the quarterback position sucks. We're on the other side of that one.

Speaker 5 There's like a log jam of... good quarterbacks that might improve to being great one day.
So teams won't move on from them right now.

Speaker 5 If you look around the the league, there's maybe four or five teams that you know for a fact are going to be looking to get a quarterback in the draft, and that's it. Like,

Speaker 5 I'm thinking through the NFC East right now. Andy Dalton's a great quarterback.

Speaker 5 The Arwords and the Giants

Speaker 5 are probably going to use one. Philly, we would say that you might want to take a little bit of a

Speaker 5 good. Yeah, if you go through the divisions, there's like, I don't know, maybe five teams where it's like you know for a fact they're going to be looking at

Speaker 5 too many quarterbacks in the NFL right now.

Speaker 4 All right.

Speaker 4 so next game we got browns steelers

Speaker 4 uh the browns are still the browns that

Speaker 4 that sucks for cleveland because you went and played big brother and it's been now 17 seasons and that was an ass kick like i know baker's hurt and

Speaker 4 whatever you want to throw whatever out there like chub you don't have chubby but that was a out and out ass kicking like the steelers defense fucked your shit up and i actually think Ben, he wasn't that good.

Speaker 4 He did the thing where he looked at his hand after a bad throw at the beginning of the game, almost giving himself, like, hey, remember this in case I'm bad today, I'm hurt.

Speaker 4 But he, you know, he did enough. He had a nice deep bomb, and Chase Claypool is a beast.

Speaker 4 But yeah, the Browns, that just, there's, there's nothing worse than thinking you have a good team and then stepping up in class and just getting the shit kicked out.

Speaker 5 It was a little reminder. We didn't get fooled, though.

Speaker 4 No. I think we knew we had the Steelers.

Speaker 5 I think that was 2003. 2003.
2003 was the last time they won Pittsburgh. I wasn't fooled, even though the Browns are, I think, 4-2 since they had the open casket wake for Swagger for the original one.

Speaker 5 So, yeah. So, they've been on a good roll, but they've been playing very well for the Browns, but they're still the Browns.

Speaker 4 Yeah, get healthy.

Speaker 4 I don't like, I see a lot of people out there saying

Speaker 4 the new line is that Baker Mayfield might be short. He's gotten shorter.
He's gotten shorter. He's got a rib removed.
Well, it's when he has to stay in the pocket. He can't see the lanes well.
So

Speaker 4 we've got to fix that height issue.

Speaker 5 Get some Air Max 720s.

Speaker 4 Yeah, but

Speaker 4 the Steelers are good. The Steelers are really good.
I think the Steelers are one of the best teams in the AFC.

Speaker 5 This is probably not the best week to bring it up, but I keep forgetting to when the Browns win.

Speaker 5 And who knows when the next time the Browns won't, you never want to take for granted that the Browns will ever win another game. So I'll just say it now.

Speaker 5 Bill Callahan is the best offensive line coach in the NFL. Yeah.
So if you're looking for...

Speaker 4 Well, because, yeah, what's his name in New England? Dante Skarnecki. Yeah, he was probably the best.

Speaker 5 He was, but Bill Callahan is a very, very good offensive line coach. But what's going to happen is eventually he's going to have enough success.

Speaker 5 Like when he was in Dallas, he was a great O-line coach. When he was in Washington, a great O-line coach.
He's done a very good job in Cleveland. He's going to get promoted.

Speaker 5 There's going to be like some old-school GM, probably like... a Gettelman type that will try to resurrect his career as a head coach again.

Speaker 5 And then Bill Callahan will go 5-11 three years in a row and then go back to being off the head coach.

Speaker 4 I'm looking at it right now. The Browns are going to be okay.
The Browns are going to be okay. They play the Bengals next.
So the Browns have the Bengals.

Speaker 4 This is just, I'm picking off wins that I think they can have in the rest of their season. Bengals, Texans, Jaguars, Giants, Jets.

Speaker 4 I just named five teams, and so the rest of their schedule, if they can pick off one or two more wins, like they can be a 10-win team somehow here. Because

Speaker 4 there are some games that are winnable coming up. Yeah,

Speaker 4 the Browns don't jump yet.

Speaker 5 Don't write him off yet. The Steelers, what's the Steelers' biggest weakness?

Speaker 4 Well, Devin Bush getting hurt is bad.

Speaker 4 I would actually say

Speaker 4 Big Ben, maybe, but not.

Speaker 4 Like, there's been times where he hasn't looked fully.

Speaker 4 No, he's never going to be. He's not prime Big Ben.

Speaker 5 Big Ben was never fully

Speaker 5 in his entire life.

Speaker 4 Maybe they're secondary if their pass rush isn't getting there. By the way, TJ Watt, I think, like a pitcher, when a pitcher gets,

Speaker 4 he has a tell, TJ Watt definitely knew the snap count with Baker Mayfield.

Speaker 4 There was a few times where you can't be closer to being off sides, but like he was doing the when you're maddened when you just go up at the right time. He did that like four or five times.

Speaker 5 Every single time? Just perfectly. I think the Steelers' biggest weakness is that they don't have a biggest, they don't have a glaring biggest weakness.

Speaker 5 They don't know how other teams are going to game plan for them. Yeah.

Speaker 4 I think that's the only thing that's happening.

Speaker 5 They had one thing that they really sucked at. Then they would sit down every week and be like, well, we know that they're going to do this against us because we stink at kick coverage or whatever.

Speaker 5 Yeah. Um, so they don't, they don't know how to put themselves in the brain of a smart football coach that's evaluating them.

Speaker 4 At Titans, at Ravens, next for the Steelers. So we'll find out.
We will find out. We will know a lot about the Steelers in two weeks.

Speaker 5 If I were to ask you right now, Big Cat, how old do you think Kevin Stefansky is? What would you say? Pull up a picture of Kevin Stefansky.

Speaker 4 I would say early 40s.

Speaker 5 He's two years older than us. Whoa.
And he's got like a full gray beard.

Speaker 5 I'm looking at this guy on the sideline and I can't.

Speaker 4 I mean, that's not early 40s, isn't it?

Speaker 5 He's 38. Yeah, but remember, mentally, we both think that, or I think

Speaker 5 I'm a father, so yeah, I do think I'm 35. I'm 27 inside my own head.
But I look at Kevin Sevanta.

Speaker 5 I'm like, how is this? This guy's at least 50 years old.

Speaker 4 But yeah, this is back to this is the same conversation because you see anyone in a position of power and you're like, old person. Yes, exactly.
Like that guy is 35.

Speaker 4 Yeah. I don't know.
He just was probably with

Speaker 4 a facial

Speaker 4 beard like that. He's early 40s.

Speaker 5 He's buying Everclear when he was three years old.

Speaker 4 Yeah, you're like, oh, man, hey, Kevin, that's the cops.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I'm like, okay, boomer.

Speaker 4 He's got a job.

Speaker 4 He's got a big job. Big, important job.

Speaker 5 Actually, even like some athletes that are 10 years younger than me, I'm like, oh, that guy's old as shit. Right.

Speaker 4 Yeah, no, this is more about you than it is about Stanford. It is.
Yeah.

Speaker 5 It's a million percent about me. But don't look at Kevin Stefanski and be like, this guy's 38 years old.
That guy looks like he's 50.

Speaker 4 No, he's a... No, he's just got a gray beard.
If he shaved his beard, he would definitely look 38. Probably.
It's just the gray beard. Gray, that's why I die.

Speaker 5 It sucks that Devin Bush is hurt because he's really good. Yes.
And he's fun to watch. And you knew it, like, the second he got injured, he did the pound the turf.

Speaker 5 The pound the turf and then the hands on the head immediately are the two signs where a guy gets hurt and you're like, okay, this is actually.

Speaker 4 And then the thumbs up as you leave being like, okay, well, that's.

Speaker 5 A guy has never given

Speaker 5 a guy is never given a thumbs up in a scenario where he really wants to tell everybody I'm doing great.

Speaker 4 It's our old friend Trill Withers tweet when he's like, I just once I want to see a player give the thumbs down. Yeah,

Speaker 4 as they tear the ALCL and get carted off. My leg is like, I'm having a bad time.

Speaker 5 My leg's in five different places.

Speaker 4 This stinks.

Speaker 4 All right. We're good with Steelers, Steelers-Browns.
You got anything else?

Speaker 5 There's a shout-out to Mike Tomlin for waiting to put Mason Rudolph in the game until Miles Garrett was on the sideline. You don't want to be giving him flashbacks on that.

Speaker 5 I'm going to change my mind on what Mike Tomlin's brain looks like. I think it's just

Speaker 5 a very sharp rock. Yeah.
Like an extremely sharp rock.

Speaker 4 A lot of pointy edges. Maybe a little, maybe like one of those fake diamonds in there.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 It's not worth anything.

Speaker 4 But it looks like it might be worth it.

Speaker 5 And it can do damage to you. And you're intimidated by it.

Speaker 4 It'd be a good bookend. Yes.
Yeah.

Speaker 5 One other thing about the Steelers, certain franchises should not be allowed to pick up good free agents. Like Minka Fitzpatrick going to the Steelers.

Speaker 4 Well, that wasn't a pickup. They trade.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 Or they should be allowed to acquire good players that

Speaker 5 I know, but the Steelers, they draft good enough already. They're so good at doing that, like finding and developing talent on their own.

Speaker 5 You can't just give them another good player, like a bonus player.

Speaker 4 Yeah. Fuck that.
Bonus players. Okay, let's do, before we do the next game, let's do a quick ad.
Are you wearing your whoop? I'm wearing my whoop right now. So am I.
So am I.

Speaker 5 Nothing I like more than looking at my strain after a day of losing a bunch of bets on football and realizing that I pretty much got a workout in, just sitting on the couch being terrible at gambling.

Speaker 5 You guys have heard us talk about whoop for a while, and you know how much we love them. I love whoop.
I like checking my stats in the morning, see how recuperative my sleep was.

Speaker 5 I like using it when I'm on the Peloton. I can tell how hard I'm pushing myself.
It was actually like a godsend for me over the pandemic break when we weren't really in the office.

Speaker 5 I would check my stats, make sure I was getting good exercise in on a day-to-day basis.

Speaker 5 Now it's bulking season, so I'm going to try to get up to 200 pounds before my next XFL tryout so I can be a thicker kicker.

Speaker 5 And Whoop is the perfect tool to help you train for whatever you have going on in your life. They're proud to partner with Barstool to host a virtual charity 5K on October 26th.

Speaker 5 I'm going to run in this. I'm saying it right now.
I'm going to run in the 5K. I don't know what a virtual 5K is.
I assume that we're just going to be doing it independently. No cheating.

Speaker 5 I'm definitely not going to cheat and make it look like I ran really, really fast. Not going to happen.
But I will be participating in that. It's during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Speaker 8 You guys should do it on a bike that two of you can ride.

Speaker 4 That would be a good idea.

Speaker 5 Yeah, a tandem bike.

Speaker 4 If it doesn't rain on Fridays. Yeah.

Speaker 5 What's up with Fridays just always being raining?

Speaker 4 This sucks, man.

Speaker 5 This Friday, we were going to do it again.

Speaker 4 It was raining. It was pouring rain outside.
Yep.

Speaker 5 Our donation page is live now, so go to barstallesports.com slash whoop5k. Help us raise money for MD Anderson.
If you don't have a whoop yet, check out with the code TAKE and get 15% off.

Speaker 5 Go to whoop, W-H-O-O-P.com, enter promo code TAKE at checkout to save 15%. When I was playing Ping Pong last Thursday, I was logging this under my whoop.

Speaker 5 I saw that my heart rate was getting up to like 148 beats per minute while playing ping pong. That's probably not super normal or healthy to be exercising that hard whilst playing ping ping pong.

Speaker 5 Be you, King. But I'm just doing me.
And I end up winning. Hank almost won, too.
Good job, Hank. Yeah.
Almost. Almost.
Almost a good job, Hank. Yeah.

Speaker 5 So you can sleep better, recover faster, train smarter, and join our fight to help raise money for M.D. Anderson this October with whoop.
What do you think? How fast do you think I can run that 5K?

Speaker 4 22 minutes.

Speaker 5 23 minutes. Yep.
That's my goal. Eight-minute miles.

Speaker 4 You've got it. It's not going to happen.
Okay.

Speaker 4 The

Speaker 4 NFC North leading Bears. Will you apologize for?

Speaker 4 5-1 Chicago Bears.

Speaker 4 The

Speaker 4 Would You Rather Lose Pretty or Win Ugly? That's a quote from Nick Foles. Chicago Bears.
The defense is back.

Speaker 4 The Bears are 5-1. I don't give a fuck how they're winning.
They're going to be underdogs every single game. I'm going to keep betting on them.
I don't care. Chicago Bears.

Speaker 4 And fuck it. I don't care.
I do not care. Yes, Matt Nagy.

Speaker 4 Matt Nagy is, I actually think I've finally come to terms with Matt Nagy.

Speaker 4 I actually like him as a head coach.

Speaker 4 I don't like him as a play caller. Okay.
So, like, if he could just find someone else, that's to call the play caller.

Speaker 5 Because that's like the opposite of what he was brought in. Right.
He was brought in because he was a hot shot play caller.

Speaker 4 Like, if Nick Foles could call the plays, that'd be cool. I think Matt Nagy's actually a good head coach.

Speaker 4 I think he actually gets, pushes the right buttons, gets some guys, you know, the club dub thing. I think it's lame, but whatever, it works.

Speaker 4 I don't like his play calling because

Speaker 4 he's always trying, like,

Speaker 4 he's trying to check boxes, and he has like a collection of shiny little plays that he wants to show off that don't work. And it's like, just let Nick Foles do his thing.
And

Speaker 4 let me put a little tag on this. The offensive line is not good.
It hasn't been playing well. So you could be the best play caller in the world.

Speaker 4 If your offensive line can't block, it's going to look like shit.

Speaker 4 So there's a little part of that, but that for the second week in a row, in a situation where he could run the ball, burn more time, he passes and they don't complete the pass.

Speaker 4 And thank God the defense bailed him out because that would have been an all-time stupid decision.

Speaker 5 There was a series of two plays where I actually really, I think I liked what Matt Nagy was doing because I think he ran a play to set up the very next play.

Speaker 5 He almost ran a play ironically where he put four tight ends in. You remember that play?

Speaker 4 Yeah, on the go line. It was like on the goal lines.

Speaker 5 They ran just a straight up, like the most unimaginative dive of all time. They were lined up with four tight ends, and they just gave the ball to the tailback and said, okay, plunge straight forward.

Speaker 5 Everyone knew that play was coming. And then the very next play,

Speaker 5 they spread it out. I don't know, Warren Sharp.
You can look at whatever the formation was. I want to say the personnel was probably like...
White box.

Speaker 4 It was like 11.

Speaker 5 It was like 11 personnel out there. So you had one running back, one tight end, then receivers spread out to the side.

Speaker 5 And then they ran the same type of play, the dive up the middle, which scored a touchdown that was overturned.

Speaker 5 But he ran that first like unimaginative play to set up running the exact same play out of a different formation.

Speaker 4 He's got good ideas.

Speaker 5 And so if you're coaching against him, you're like, okay, well, this asshole just obviously ran in a jumbo package. And then when he spreads it all out, he's probably going to pass it this time.

Speaker 5 Psych, left turn, we're going to run it again.

Speaker 4 But he does that also to the detriment of the team when, you know, I've talked about it before, but he will oftentimes only run it out of under center and not pass it, which becomes predictable.

Speaker 4 The situation situation that I'm talking about at the end of the game, he actually said afterwards, we knew we were going run, run, pass, which is exactly what he did against the Bucks, run, run, pass.

Speaker 4 So teams might be able to figure that out, Matt. Like, they might be able to figure that out that you're going run, run, pass there.

Speaker 5 There's something about these Bears' wins because they're a very good team, right? Their record says that they're a very good team. Yes.
But there's something very unsettling.

Speaker 4 I don't know. Very good.
There's some things. There's a Super Bowl chatter around the Bears.
No, the D. Okay, so in all honesty, the defense, and I don't want to make this about Mitch, but

Speaker 4 I'm a big, big believer in complimentary football and the psyche of a football team.

Speaker 4 And I do think the defense has their edge back, knowing that they can play and maybe make a couple mistakes here and there, but fly around and also go after the ball and like almost like a little bit of a freedom.

Speaker 4 Where if they give up a couple touchdowns, it's not game over. Right.
They can take chances. I agree with you.

Speaker 4 It was like, all right, we have to play a perfect game to have a chance to win. With Nick Foles, a quarterback, it's like the margin for error is not as slim, so we can be a little bit more free.

Speaker 4 And they have been playing a more free style, and it feels like they have their edge back. So that matters.
That shit does matter to me.

Speaker 4 You can put it on a fucking spreadsheet. That shit is like human emotion, locker room, football guy shit that absolutely matters when it comes to offense and defense.

Speaker 5 Right. But what I was saying was like after every Bears win, there's something deeply unsettling that prevents you from like fully enjoying it because it's a flawed team.

Speaker 4 No, in a lot of different ways.

Speaker 5 So yeah, so this is how it's always.

Speaker 4 Even though you win, it will always be.

Speaker 5 You're thinking back and it's like raising a lot of questions. You're like, yeah, it was, I guess we won, but I'm very, very troubled.
It's like watching a Warner Herzog movie.

Speaker 5 You're like, you sit and you think about it later and you're like, that's really fucked up, but it was really good.

Speaker 4 No, the Bears will never be

Speaker 4 perfect. They're just not.

Speaker 4 The Chiefs have been perfect.

Speaker 4 Last year, there were times when they're like, oh, that's a perfect team. Like, the Patriots have done that.

Speaker 4 Even the Ravens, when they won the Super Bowl, are like, you can list all these teams. We're like, oh, yeah, they have no real weakness.

Speaker 4 If they're playing their best game, they'll beat you 10 times out of 10. If the Bears are playing their best game, we'll still lose a couple times because it's just,

Speaker 4 I mean, you just point to things. Nick Foles, I like him, but he's still Nick Foles.
Like, he's still not, like, there's a reason why he's been on seven teams or whatever it is. It is.

Speaker 4 And I'm okay with it.

Speaker 5 And he went to like several colleges and everyone wants him.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I'm not going to apologize. I'm not going to apologize.
I'm going to enjoy it. I'm going to have everyone doubt us.
I know that deep down

Speaker 4 the Bears are destined for a 10-6, 11-5 record, and then to lose in a heartbreaking way in the first round and then everyone to shit down my throat.

Speaker 4 I know that, but I don't care because I'm going to enjoy it until I have everyone's anus hovering over my mouth as I swallow America's shit.

Speaker 5 It would be just a real shame if you guys finished 10-6, made the playoffs, and then Aaron Rodgers beat you. No,

Speaker 4 they might not. We'll get to them.
The Packers might not make the playoffs.

Speaker 5 Well, the Bears are in first place. First place.

Speaker 4 Number one. First place.
Our loss was against the AFC. The Packers lost against the NFC.
The Bears are in first place. I will not apologize.
I fucking love this defense. I don't care if it's ugly.

Speaker 4 We'll keep winning ugly. Monday night football next week.
No way that will go bad.

Speaker 5 Monday night against who?

Speaker 4 The Rams who just lost. No way that will go bad.
Nope. No way.

Speaker 4 Remember we did the most important player, best player thing to sound smart. The Bears have a definitive

Speaker 4 best player on their defense, Khalil Mack. Most important player, Akeem Hicks.
He's a fucking beast. So if you want to sound smart about the Bears, you say, yeah.
You know who really makes a cook?

Speaker 5 Akeem Hicks. You know what? You can also say to sound smart, just because Allen Robinson doesn't light up the stat sheet every week,

Speaker 4 you can say he's a really underrated blocker at wide receiver. No,

Speaker 4 he's a great wide receiver.

Speaker 4 Yeah, he doesn't get enough credit. And David Montgomery is not the problem.
The offensive line is. But hopefully that gets fixed.
All right. Next up, Lions, Jaguars.

Speaker 4 The Jags are just tanking.

Speaker 5 The Lions didn't blow a big lead. The Lions didn't blow.
They maintained a big lead today for the first time.

Speaker 4 Which is more about the Jaguars being just terrible.

Speaker 4 I think they're tanking now. I don't know.

Speaker 5 I don't know. So Doug Maron, after the game, he had a really nice quote.
He said, it's being 0-5 is a big challenge, but with big challenges come big rewards. So

Speaker 5 he's done a spend zone. That's right.
It looks like it's always darkest before the dawn.

Speaker 5 I think maybe he was just talking about getting paid.

Speaker 5 It's nice to, like, the big reward is I cash a paycheck

Speaker 5 every two weeks,

Speaker 5 even though we're 0-5, and it's for a lot of money.

Speaker 4 Yes. Yeah, that makes sense.

Speaker 4 DeAndre Swift looked good.

Speaker 4 Our friend World of Isaac, who's now becoming a regular on Mentioning Lions games, did have a tweet that I very much liked because Matt Stafford does make throws like Patrick Mahomes, and no one loses their mind about him because he's Matt Stafford.

Speaker 4 But he had a throw, like a sidearm underneath, under, like a silverine throw that was incredible. And it was like, this is an incredible throw.

Speaker 4 If Mahomes did this, and it's not, I'm not blaming Mahomes, it's more the media. They would all be losing their mind.

Speaker 4 But Matt Stafford, I'll forever say that he's a good quarterback stuck in a bad situation.

Speaker 5 Hall of Famer. Hall of Famer

Speaker 4 Hall of Famer, by the way, one in five. What's that? They're one in five.
Yeah, they beat the Colorado. Oh, that's right.

Speaker 5 Yeah, they've had five straight losses. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 He's saying that that's when

Speaker 5 it's darkest right now. It's about to be dawn.
When I go to my mailbox and put that deposit into my bank, it'll be nice. It might be time for another Cry Fest for Marone.
Yeah.

Speaker 5 I think he might need to start weeping again. Yeah.

Speaker 5 I don't, yeah, I think he said that he's keeping all of his friends employed, which is nice. He's not going to fire his defensive coordinator.
That's huge.

Speaker 5 He's like, as long as I'm the coach, he's going to be on the staff also collecting a check. Yep.
So say what you want about the coaches. They're getting

Speaker 4 They're probably just going out for some spaghetti and meatballs on Tuesday nights.

Speaker 4 Hey, we're getting paid.

Speaker 5 This is a classic

Speaker 5 kind of test case franchise when it comes to my theory of just like the kicking situation on any team is always going to tell you if it's a functional franchise.

Speaker 4 Yeah, you talked about this a couple weeks ago. The new kicker that has never kicked before in an NFL game.

Speaker 5 That a kicker that had never kicked a field goal in a game. Preseason he did a couple years ago.
And then I looked him up. His name is John Brown.

Speaker 5 And I got confused because it said, like the little nugget that they put on Google when you search his name says that he's a UK soccer star.

Speaker 5 So I was like, wait a second, is this guy like a British soccer player? No, he played football at the University of Kentucky.

Speaker 5 Same amount of World Cup titles in the last 50 years, but like very, very different ecosystems, Kentucky as opposed to Great Britain. Yes.
But he made a field goal.

Speaker 5 That was nice.

Speaker 5 You always know that your franchise is in dire straits when the best thing that you can take out of the weekend is like this guy that had never done his job before in an NFL game didn't completely screw everything.

Speaker 4 It's a nice story. It's a nice story.
So Lions get their second win. They're going to be one of those teams.
They might be a good bad team. Yeah.

Speaker 4 They have the bones to look good on a given weekend, but be bad.

Speaker 5 I think that they're a bad average team.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 4 They might be below average. I think they're good below average team.

Speaker 5 It depends if we're talking first or second half. So first half Lions are a great bad team.

Speaker 4 Yeah, their resting heart rate is bad, but I think they have abilities to be good.

Speaker 5 That's just because teams take on the personality and physical parameters of their head coach.

Speaker 4 Right.

Speaker 4 But like the Vikings are, I think their resting heart rate should be good, but they're bad.

Speaker 4 You know what I mean? Yeah. They're underachieving, where the Lions, when they win, it's like, oh, that's nice.

Speaker 5 It's kind of overachieving a little bit. I'd say the first half Lions are one of the best teams in the NFL.

Speaker 5 If the Lions and Eagles could figure out a way to just combine their halves together, they played an entire game of foot football.

Speaker 4 You humans centipede them.

Speaker 4 All right. Jets, Dolphins.

Speaker 4 Dolphins, 24, Jets, 0.

Speaker 4 I mean, there's only one story here. It's Adam Gase.
Adam Gace. There was this graphic that was shown on the TV that's shocking.
Adam Gace, 2015, Bears OC, 21st ranked offense.

Speaker 4 2016, Miami head coach, 24th ranked offense. 2017, Miami head coach, 25th ranked offense.
2018, Miami head coach, 31st ranked offense. Last year, Jets head coach,

Speaker 4 32nd-ranked offense. This year, Jets head coach, 32nd-ranked offense.
They've scored 75 points in six games, six offensive touchdowns. No one else has less than 100.

Speaker 4 It's inc I actually am going to zag on everyone and say like I applaud Adam Gase for getting this far in life. Yeah.
It's incredible what he has done.

Speaker 4 And we've said it before. I will say it again.
It is a great lesson for everyone out there.

Speaker 4 Get yourself next to someone great and have everyone else think that you had something to do with it and you're set for life.

Speaker 4 Adam Gace was the OC for the number one ranked offense and the number two ranked offense when Peyton Manning was with the Broncos.

Speaker 5 And Peyton Manning was essentially the offensive coordinator for

Speaker 5 Adam Gates' job was to make sure that Peyton Manning's hot tub was turned on when he was like soaking his foot in it watching practice.

Speaker 4 Yes, and then he has parlayed those two years where he was just basically around Peyton Manning to

Speaker 4 five years for some change because he'll probably get fired this year of being a head coach in the NFL. It is.

Speaker 4 In your wildest dreams, you can't fail upwards like Adam Gates has failed.

Speaker 5 And say what you want about him, but I was listening to you list list off all those stats. He's very consistent.

Speaker 4 Yeah, consistently offensive. Yes, yes.

Speaker 5 You know what you're going to get out of Adam Gase. There are no surprises.

Speaker 4 12 and a half points per game, and he's an offensive genius.

Speaker 5 I think it's possible that the Jets don't know whose job it is to fire Adam Gase. And that's the whole reason that he still has a job.

Speaker 4 We also have the theory that at this point, I think Joe Douglas hates Adam Gase so much, the best way to stick it to him is make him keep coaching the Jets. Yeah.

Speaker 5 And then, I mean, Woody Johnson is the owner of the team, but how involved is he? Like, Douglas might be waiting for Woody to put his stamp of approval on it. Yeah.

Speaker 5 And he's not checking his email over in England. Right.

Speaker 5 And so, like, I think that I think there's a very real possibility that everyone is thinking that it's the other guy's job to make that decision to fire him.

Speaker 5 And so that's why there's been no movement on it.

Speaker 4 It's remarkable. Joe Flacco took a 28-yard sack.

Speaker 5 I was about to say the play of the day was Joe Flacco took a sack for minus 28 yards.

Speaker 4 One shy of the record.

Speaker 5 I didn't think that Joe Flacco could cover that type of ground on one play. That's amazing.
Like, Flacco, say what you want about him.

Speaker 5 He's still got the wheels if he's able to retreat 28 yards before getting tackled.

Speaker 4 Joe Flacco is the king of taking the snap, running 10 yards backwards, and then throwing it 10 yards over the sideline. Yes.
That's his play. Uh-huh.
And no one's even close.

Speaker 5 That and drawing a pass interference penalty.

Speaker 4 Which he can't really do anymore.

Speaker 5 Because there's literally nobody at wide receiver.

Speaker 4 Right. It's impossible.
And he can't also get the ball close enough.

Speaker 5 Well, his receivers are so bad that you can't, every ball is technically uncatchable when you're trotting out those guys.

Speaker 4 Did you see Greg Williams has has tried to take over? So he,

Speaker 4 the question was asked about your defense, you're giving up all this, and he said it's not all on the defense.

Speaker 4 Basically saying the offense is so bad, which is true, but you have to be a fucking moron to say that. And then Adam Gace apparently replied, shut up and play.

Speaker 5 Yeah,

Speaker 5 I absolutely need a mid-season hard knocks on the gists. Do we know who's doing the Amazon all or nothing right now?

Speaker 4 No.

Speaker 5 I hope it's the Jets.

Speaker 4 Adam Gase should fire Greg Williams right now. That would be great.

Speaker 5 Well, no, I think Adam Gase is hoping that he gets fired so that Greg Williams will have to coach the Jets. Yeah.
He's like trying to pass that on.

Speaker 4 He hates him. Yeah, right.
That makes sense. But yeah, Adam Gates, I'm sure

Speaker 4 he's probably going to get fired by the time this show comes out. I don't know.

Speaker 5 I don't think Greg Williams is the kind of guy that would throw anybody that he works with under the bus. Yeah.

Speaker 5 So I don't know if that was taken out of context where he said you'll have to figure that out when it comes to the offense. But

Speaker 5 I'd like to see Greg Williams just, you know,

Speaker 5 roll out the bounty incentive program one more time.

Speaker 5 He should probably put a bounty on Adam Gase.

Speaker 4 Yes.

Speaker 5 Yes. Like run into him on the side.

Speaker 4 But the Jets defense is so poorly coached they wouldn't be able to do it. Right.

Speaker 5 They'd be offsides.

Speaker 4 They're coached by Greg Williams.

Speaker 4 I think the Jets are, at this point, they just got to be like, fuck it,

Speaker 4 Trevor Lawrence.

Speaker 5 Yeah. Like, fuck it.

Speaker 4 We're not going to win.

Speaker 4 You can look around the bad teams in the NFL. Like, even, you know.
The Washington football team, they win week one, and they've been in games. They're in the game this week.
The

Speaker 4 Vikings, the Falcons both have only one win, but they're in game. The Jaguars were, you know, have every now and then sniffed around it.
The Jets aren't even close. Like, this wasn't even close.

Speaker 4 The Dolphins should have beaten them by more. The Dolphins didn't even play that well, but it wasn't, like, they're not even playing football anymore.

Speaker 5 Right. It's a different sport.

Speaker 4 They need to just get COVID and just go away.

Speaker 5 I was looking at the upcoming schedule because I have, in moments of, of honesty with myself, I've thought like, hey, there's a possibility that the Washington football team could get Jetson's chance.

Speaker 5 No chance.

Speaker 5 and it's just not going to happen.

Speaker 4 The Jets are not going to win a game.

Speaker 5 The Jets should be prevented from getting Trevor Lawrence. Yeah.
The league should step in, and Roger Godello should say, like, for the good of this young man, we're not going to let you screw him up.

Speaker 5 Although that would be like Dan Snyder's

Speaker 5 final quest to conquer. Like, I've ruined the development of so many quarterbacks.
Maybe I can screw up Trevor Lawrence. Maybe that might even be a bridge too far for me.
Yes.

Speaker 5 You know, he loves a good challenge. So

Speaker 5 the Jets will probably finish with two or fewer wins if they get two. If they get two, it'll be a miracle.

Speaker 4 It will be a miracle. They have that one game.
So when I saw they only have six touchdowns in six games, I was like, but didn't they play that shootout with the Broncos?

Speaker 4 And they scored 28 points, but they only had one offensive touchdown. Right.
They just kicked a shitload of field goals and had a pick six.

Speaker 5 Yeah, they just.

Speaker 4 And one offensive touchdown was Sam Darnold just happened to like break free and kept on running.

Speaker 5 He accidentally ran for like 54 yards.

Speaker 4 Yeah, that wasn't a designed play by Adam Gates.

Speaker 5 Adam Gates is doing like the producers on the sidelines and he's just like livid that Sam Donald figured out a way to scramble for a touchdown and play that was designed for him to take a 12-yard sack.

Speaker 4 The only thing I would,

Speaker 4 the only positive I would say is, well, this isn't really a positive if you're a Jets fan, but you'd have to assume that both Sam Donald and Joe Flacco

Speaker 4 will be good next year if they get away from Adam Gase. That's true.
That's true. Like the Ryan Tanno.

Speaker 4 Like, that's the part that's crazy is that we just talked about all that with Adam Gace, and we're not even mentioning because we kind of alluded to it earlier, but

Speaker 4 probably the fourth in voting for MVP this year

Speaker 4 is because Adam Gase was his coach and he sucked forever, and then he got like he went to the Titans and became good.

Speaker 4 Like, that guy was coached by Adam Gase, and he looked like he never played the position.

Speaker 5 I'm actually starting to turn the corner on Sam Darnold. I, I, earlier this year, I just thought, okay,

Speaker 5 he's not going to ever be the guy that they want him to be when he was drafted. Now I'm starting to realize just how bad Adam Gace is at everything that he touches.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I'm the same way. I'm like, maybe, you know what?

Speaker 5 I'm starting to feel like a lot of people feel towards Deshaun Watson, towards Sam Darnold, where it's like this guy has gotten absolutely boned by his coaches. I'd like to see him.

Speaker 4 I'm the same way. I've been hard on Sam Darnold.
It's more because

Speaker 4 people loved him more than Josh Allen, but I agree with you. I would like to see Sam Darnold in just

Speaker 4 whatever a step above the most fucked up situation is, just show me that with Sam Darn.

Speaker 4 Like, he doesn't even have to be in a functional organization, just a like semi-dysfunctional organization, and he might be good.

Speaker 5 He's like, if you have a, if you have a neighbor that just leaves their dog outside all the time and never goes out to like feed it or take care of it, that's how I'm observing Sam Donald right now.

Speaker 5 Right. And the Jets, just if he just had a doghouse, so not even a doghouse, just give him a bowl.
Or just like a plank of wood. Yeah.

Speaker 5 Just like some particle board so when it rains, he doesn't have to stand out in the rain the entire time. That's it.
Just like catching fungus in it. That's it.
Just give him a 2x4 from Home Depot.

Speaker 5 Let him make his own little nest underneath that occasionally. I'll feel much better for him.
Yes.

Speaker 4 All right. Last game before we get to Dion.

Speaker 4 The Green Bay Packers, 10. Tampa Bay, 38.
Aaron Rodgers,

Speaker 4 inappropriately, disgustingly.

Speaker 5 Disgusting act.

Speaker 4 Disgusting act.

Speaker 4 humped thrust in America's face for a touchdown that was called back.

Speaker 5 It's a simulated sex act.

Speaker 4 It was a simulated sex act. So two things happened at the same time.
Aaron Rodgers simulated sex in our eyes

Speaker 4 on a non-touchdown.

Speaker 5 On the Lord's Day.

Speaker 4 On the Lord's Day, simulated that sex. And Colin Coward tweeted, if anyone sees a weakness with the Packers, just give me a heads up.
I can't spot one.

Speaker 4 And those two things happened at the same time. And then the Packers gave up 38 points, unanswered points, and lost 38 to 10.
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 5 Yeah. Well, the kiss of death from Colin Coward.

Speaker 5 I would like to think that Colin Coward hasn't lost his fastball that much, where he will be able to fire off some good takes about Aaron Rodgers doing the sex act, the old discount double dick.

Speaker 5 But I think that he's just, I think Colin Coward is like in love with Aaron Rodgers. Yeah.
I think he's just, he's, he loves everything that he does.

Speaker 5 So I'm doubting Coward's ability to move forward because Aaron Rodgers, he typically wears his hats in the correct direction. So he's a little bit blinded when it comes to evaluating him on that one.

Speaker 5 But it was

Speaker 5 an ass kicking. It was an ass kicking.
And I think it's because Aaron Rodgers has been too happy recently.

Speaker 4 Too happy. And, all right, so I'm sure I'll get some blowback for this, but I'm going to say it.

Speaker 4 This is the same issue the Packers had last year. They step up in class.
They step up against a physical team. And they don't look like the same team that started the season 5-0 or whatever they were.

Speaker 4 Like,

Speaker 4 They have beaten the Vikings, the Lions, the Falcons, and the Saints.

Speaker 4 The Saints was a good win on the road, Sunday night football, but the Bucs played physical.

Speaker 4 They blitzed. They fucking played great defense.
Aaron Rodgers looked lost.

Speaker 4 I'm not going to say the F word just yet because I don't want to piss off Aaron Rodgers more than already, you know, the world already has this year.

Speaker 4 But if you're looking at last year and this year, when they play a physical team, it looks a little different.

Speaker 5 I think think we should just actually want to compliment aaron rodgers more we want to keep him happy right picat so if we keep him happy aaron i thought that was i thought i thought it was hilarious how you did that little uh double pump from the sketch comedy show that came out 10 years ago i thought yeah and also uh it was originally done by lance moore back in 2013 in a game and you almost almost very funny and timely how you did that and you almost like you you got like halfway to the uh cervical wall or whatever yeah yeah you were almost there almost yeah you nice little thrust.

Speaker 4 You totally had a lot of sex, dude, if that's the way you thrust.

Speaker 5 You totally touched the G-spot on that.

Speaker 4 Yeah,

Speaker 4 you for sure,

Speaker 4 you for sure got there.

Speaker 4 She definitely wouldn't say, is it in yet?

Speaker 5 She squirted, Aaron. You did a great, wonderful job.
Also, I thought it was cool how the Packers didn't put Jordan Love in the game when they went to their back.

Speaker 4 That was super nice of them. I didn't because I had an all-time gambling meltdown when I needed a half a point, but credit to me, I bounced back.
Yeah. Bounced back.

Speaker 5 If Skip Bayless doesn't believe in God, he should now because he hates aaron rodgers yep and the guy that is threatening to take aaron rodgers job is literally named jordan love yep like this is a wet dream concocted inside his little weird brain i need to i i saw at the end of the game he tweeted out brady greater than greater than greater than greater than greater than greater than greater than aaron rodgers at the end of it put his little stamp on it uh the packers are gonna by the way like

Speaker 4 this is This is why it sucks to even throw out the thought, the hint, the whiff of the F-word with the Packers because they're playing the Texans and the Vikings next.

Speaker 4 Aaron Rodgers is going to have like 15 touchdowns against those two teams. This is going to be, he's going to fucking torch those teams.

Speaker 5 We got a nice little treat to cap off for Sunday, something that nobody expected. But at the end of this game, we got Blaine Gabbert.

Speaker 4 We got Blaine Gabbard.

Speaker 5 He made his triumphant return. The Blaine Train.
The human victory cigar or the human victory spliff. Blaine Gabbert came in, and I think he just handed the ball off a couple times.

Speaker 4 Also,

Speaker 4 shout out Gronk. He's back.
Yeah. He looked good.
He looked young. We also had the Troy Aikman talking about Ryan Jensen's butt sweat for like 10 minutes.

Speaker 5 There's a 10-minute diatribe on buttholes.

Speaker 4 Because they just ran out of shit to talk about.

Speaker 5 Different type of towels that get shoved up there.

Speaker 4 Yeah, Gronk's spike needs a little work. He hasn't done it in like two years.
It's been since his last touchdown.

Speaker 5 You know whose spike was really surprisingly good today? Was Joe Burrows? Yes. Joe Burrow is a very good spiker of the ball.

Speaker 4 Yes. So do you think the Packers are cursed by the Aaron Rodgers pump?

Speaker 5 By the sex act? Back baby pump?

Speaker 5 I don't want to say cursed just yet. I'd say that they've got...
They're having a haunting.

Speaker 5 There's an apparition. Apparition.
What's the word?

Speaker 5 Apparation. There's a dog.
There's a ghost that appears.

Speaker 4 He also said that Rodgers said afterwards, the loss may be good for the Packers. Fuck that.
Of course it is. Of course they're going to fucking rip off a bunch of wins.
Their schedule stinks.

Speaker 4 Their schedule... they have, they play no one except the Bears.
They play no one.

Speaker 5 Do they have to play the Bears twice, though?

Speaker 4 They play no one.

Speaker 4 The Packers are going to be like 13 and 3 again. And it was going to be like, you call them frauds.
And then we'll just wait. We'll wait.
They're going to play a physical team. We'll wait.

Speaker 4 Play some man football, and then you're fucking tossing it around and smiling and discount double-checking. We'll wait.

Speaker 5 Tom Brady looked like he had all his mental abilities today. Yep.
He recovered from dementia. It was a long time.

Speaker 4 Long nap. He drank a lot of water.

Speaker 4 A nice massage.

Speaker 5 It's Just because it's earlier in the day. He wasn't sundowning yet.
If you play him after dark, he gets confused and forgets where he is.

Speaker 4 And credit to the Bucs defense for losing Vita Vey and being awesome. Levante David was sick.

Speaker 5 You know what I really enjoyed about today's game? It was the rare appearance of Aaron Rodgers trying to make tackles. You never get that.

Speaker 4 Yeah, he's only thrown three pick sixes in his career, which is crazy.

Speaker 5 And so he got, he actually kind of stopped a pick six. He almost had two pick sixes today.

Speaker 4 Yep.

Speaker 5 But he got just absolutely ran over by somebody. But in the process of getting run over, kind of like clogged up the lane a little bit and the guy got tackled.

Speaker 5 But seeing Aaron Rodgers get blocked or try to make a tackle,

Speaker 5 it's completely unnatural act, but it's fun to watch. Good times.

Speaker 4 Okay, let's get to Dion before we do that. A quick word from our friends at.

Speaker 4 Okay, here he is, Deion Sanders.

Speaker 4 All right, our good friend, co-worker, Coach Prime. He is on with us 10, 15 minutes every Sunday talking about the biggest news from the NFL.
Let's start with the game we just watched.

Speaker 4 The Green Bay Packers got absolutely smoked

Speaker 4 by Tom Brady and the Bucks.

Speaker 4 What's your biggest takeaway other than after Aaron Rodgers did that disgusting act of humping in everyone's face, the Packers scored zero points, and it was a 38-0 run from that point forward?

Speaker 4 It was so funny because when he was doing that, all I could see is Dave right next to me saying, Yeah, when he's playing somebody that he could beat down, he has this arrogance about him.

Speaker 4 And he does, like, I just heard him just blasting in my ear saying that.

Speaker 4 And then, after the two picks, he never recovered. Yeah, it was bad.
Never recovered. It was bad.

Speaker 4 And the Bucks, credit to the Bucs because they're missing Vita Vey, who's out for, I think, the rest of the season, and their defense looked awesome, even without where was this.

Speaker 4 Where was this Bucs defense a week ago? Yeah. Like, where were they? And Gronk has finally risen.
Right. Yeah.
That's like old Gronk. I'm happy that Gronk is alive.
I didn't know if he was alive.

Speaker 4 I didn't know if he was. I don't know what he was doing these last several weeks, but Gronk is alive.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I think he looks like he's back up to what his old playing weight was. Maybe it was the uniforms they were wearing today because he had those like powder, the pewter pants or whatever they are.

Speaker 4 Gronk looked like big, old Gronk.

Speaker 5 He looked happy. His spike sucked, though.
Did you see his spike?

Speaker 4 Yeah. He was just, he hadn't been in the end zone,

Speaker 4 what, two years. Yeah.

Speaker 4 He took a toll on him.

Speaker 5 He's out of practice with that for sure. Yes.

Speaker 4 So is Aaron Rodgers washed up? Ooh.

Speaker 4 Oh, of course not. Aaron Rodgers is still the man.

Speaker 4 That was a good question. Still the man.
That was a really good question.

Speaker 5 Can you just say that he's washed up so that we can put out a quote saying that you said that Aaron Rodgers is washed up and we'll get a shitload of him.

Speaker 4 Aaron Rodgers is the man still.

Speaker 4 Oh, brutal. What about the Cleveland Browns not being able? So it's 17 years now.
17 years they haven't won in Pittsburgh

Speaker 4 in terms of like the psyche of a team that's rolling they're 4-1 they're feeling good they go into Pittsburgh they get absolutely demolished Baker was hurt he was playing hurt what happens

Speaker 4 no I'm gonna do that his wrist

Speaker 4 his ribs don't do that his wrist

Speaker 4 don't do that what happens to the psyche of a team though after having a loss like that

Speaker 4 you know, a promising start and then a loss like that where they step up in class to the big boy division and they get absolutely killed they're they're jb you know that

Speaker 4 we know that everyone knows that they know that they're jb they're not varsity yet so and you know don't don't give baker that out don't do that i don't think baker would respect you if you give him that out okay and i want him to respect you well so what does he have to do to get up to varsity yeah what do the browns have to do no no not not baker the whole team that that's not just on baker the whole team they're not on that level yet man they they got a ways to go They're not on that level.

Speaker 4 I just think about how happy the Browns fans were, and it is demoralizing to have that big test and fail it. Like, even if you lose close, you can say, well, we're right there.

Speaker 4 But that game was never even close. No,

Speaker 4 from the corn toss.

Speaker 4 Yeah. They probably lost that.
I didn't even watch that. They probably lost the corn toss, too.
Yeah, that's true. That is true.

Speaker 5 What about what's going on in New England? Are you concerned at all?

Speaker 5 If you're Hank Lockwood, our producer, and you are a die-hard, unbiased New England Patriots fan, fan, are you pushing the panic button?

Speaker 4 No, because that's just time away from the game.

Speaker 4 That's just COVID-type stuff.

Speaker 4 What we saw today was the tribute to COVID.

Speaker 4 Those guys are regimented guys. New England is like, they're like an army type team.
Like, they got to be here, do this, do that, do that.

Speaker 4 And when it messes up their schedule and their routine, they don't respond well.

Speaker 4 Don't do that. Don't do that.
Bill Belichick would not appreciate that. He wouldn't respect you as a man if you did that.
And I want him to respect you. Don't do that.

Speaker 4 See how that sounded? Because I know Belichick's not using an excuse for that game. No, absolutely not.
He's not. He's not, but that's what it is.
Sometimes you just have those games.

Speaker 4 Denver, like Denver? Are you serious? That's why I'm saying this is that type of game because Denver, this was Denver that went in there and did that. And they didn't even score a touchdown.

Speaker 4 That's the craziest part. No.
They didn't have a very good game. I don't think just pull Cam out of that MVP conversation that you guys had.

Speaker 4 That's a wrap. It's actually interesting because we had two of those happen today.
I mean, Cam was more of a fringe MVP guy, but Rodgers,

Speaker 4 like that.

Speaker 4 That's going to be tough to win the MVP with a game like that where he doesn't throw a touchdown. He has two picks and like 150 yards or whatever it was.

Speaker 4 Like that definitely feels like with Russell Wilson, Mahomes, maybe Josh Allen, he's throwing there, Lamar, the defending MVP.

Speaker 4 Having a game like that.

Speaker 4 I'm so proud of you. Yes.
I'm so proud of you by saying Lamar. I'm so proud of you.

Speaker 4 I really am.

Speaker 4 It's going to be tough for Rodgers to

Speaker 4 come back in the MVP race for that. Now,

Speaker 4 are you ready to respect the Chicago Bears that are now first place in the NFC North, 5-1? No respect. They're underdogs every single week.

Speaker 4 I saw their underdogs next week, Monday Night Football against the Rams.

Speaker 4 What do they have to do to get respect? Consistency offensively. Defensively, we know what they bring to the table, but everybody's just waiting on Foles, his slipper, to come off.

Speaker 4 You know, I'm a Foles guy. I love me some Nick Foles.

Speaker 4 That's why I can't stand Philly because they wouldn't have won anything without Foles, and it's showing. They're not going to win anything without Foles.

Speaker 4 I love Nick Foles. I just want him to prove to the world that he can be a consistent starter.
That's what they're way known consistency

Speaker 5 now if he can prove that would you put the bears are they are they in your uh pretender pile or a contender pile because i i'm fully on board with the bears no i'm and i'm gonna tell you why you're wrong because the bears they win the weird games that everyone expects them to lose but they do it enough where that's just their pattern you are what your pattern is the bears are a are a a weird kind of bad football team that's actually really really good i wouldn't say bad they're kind of are you going to ask for my opinion, then tell me no?

Speaker 4 I'm just letting, I'm letting you know because they're going to be, the Bears are going to be 15 and one, and they're going to win every game by one point, and you're still going to be sitting there being like, they stink.

Speaker 5 And at some point, you have to say

Speaker 4 you are who your record says you are. Stop that.
Five and one. You are who your record says.

Speaker 4 You can't ask me something, then jump me when I give you an answer. That's what I do.
Well, your answer sucks. Ambush me.
Your answer sucks.

Speaker 4 I want to trade and find a new way of saying that yeah you know what i'm going to get i'm going to get me a junk talker and a cusser just for y'all when i come on the air and i'm going to point to him and he's going to do all my dirty work you know what i think kfc is the guy okay okay all right he can talk

Speaker 4 for you yes he can do that for you all right he's my guy i had uh one last question this is you you went against your own advice uh the falcons they have the dan quinn firing and then you get the bump that you talked about which i thought was an unbelievable point How after a team

Speaker 4 fires their head coach, guys in the locker room are looking around and saying,

Speaker 4 What do we do here? We're playing for our job. We're probably not going to be here next year because we're not the guy's guy.

Speaker 4 And then you went against it. Does the bump last they've hurt me? Yeah, does the bump last, though, for more than one game? Can the Falcons kind of get a little run going?

Speaker 4 It's like making love. Once you get it, you sleepy now.
Now they're sleepy.

Speaker 5 But you need that second nut, though.

Speaker 4 Like, if you have the refractory period, you know what I'm talking about. Yeah.

Speaker 4 I knew you were going to take that bait. I knew you were going to tell me that.

Speaker 5 It happens. It's not like, and afterwards, you feel like you're pretty much dead and you have nothing to give the world.
But no, I understand what you're saying.

Speaker 5 They had like a little bit of a bounce back. But

Speaker 5 if you're... So if you're like the Dolphins right now, or excuse me, if you're the Jets right now, Adam Gase is pretty much like a dead man, right?

Speaker 5 Like there's no way that the locker room is following him. No, no, no, no.

Speaker 4 It's not just him. The quarterbacks too.
Like the quarterbacks, plural, and the head coach, they're connected. They're the only two that's going to have a record.

Speaker 4 You might as well get ready for the Clemson sweepstakes.

Speaker 4 You know, that's where they are. Lawrence.
First pick. Yep.
Trevor Law. I'm sorry.
Yeah. Trevor Lawrence.
Thank you for recanting, man. Trevor Lawrence sweepstakes.
That's what they're on right now.

Speaker 4 This is pathetic.

Speaker 4 But I've always thought... Now,

Speaker 4 it's hard to tank in the NFL because it's hard to get up. It's a physical sport.

Speaker 4 But you think that they can... They're not trying to tank.
They just suck. They don't have to try to tank.
They just got to do what they've been doing.

Speaker 5 That's why they're not firing Adam Gates is because he's found the magic where he's not trying to tank, but he's doing a really good job of tanking, anyways.

Speaker 5 So if they're firing him, they might get better and then miss out on Trevor Lawrence.

Speaker 4 But let me tell you something that's going to happen. I feel like Trevor Lawrence is going to pull

Speaker 4 an Elway and an Eli

Speaker 4 and say, I'm not doing that.

Speaker 5 Where do you think Trevor

Speaker 5 wants to play?

Speaker 4 That's what I'm saying. It's not New York.

Speaker 4 I can't see that. I can't.

Speaker 5 Washington.

Speaker 4 I just can't see it.

Speaker 4 It's something wrong with the organization. You can't have,

Speaker 4 it's not too many. That's too many consecutive quarterbacks in a system that's bad.
That's just bad. They hadn't really won what since Rex, right? Yeah.

Speaker 4 And that was based on the defense. That was based based on all defense.
Rex wasn't even,

Speaker 5 his final tally as head coach of the Jets was even below 500. It's been like, I think, 25, 30 years since they've had a coach that finished above 500.

Speaker 4 Right. And you think that kid wants to go there with all he's accustomed to winning, winning, and more winning? Ain't no way in the world.
He's going to pull an Eli. I like this.

Speaker 4 I like this.

Speaker 5 Dion, from a perspective of like a player inside a locker room, what does it look like?

Speaker 5 What's the difference between you always hear about like good organizations with good culture and then you know trash organizations that can't get their culture together.

Speaker 5 What is like the actual difference as a player, like on a day-to-day basis between, you know, playing for a good organization that has their shit together and one that doesn't?

Speaker 4 Commitment.

Speaker 4 The commitment and the expectation. It's sort of like when I was in Atlanta, I loved the Smiths, the Rankin Smith, Taylor Smith, all those guys.
They were good guys.

Speaker 4 But then when I go to San Francisco paying for Eddie DiBarlo and Carmen Policy, it's a total different expectation in the locker room a total different feeling amongst the the team in the front office there's a whole different expectation there's a different commitment to excellence just totally different and you won't know it unless you're in it like the the the front office from atlanta had no idea who they are or who they were unless you go and really spend time with somewhere like the san francisco 49ers of that era in that decade is unbelievable interesting total difference i mean i i i i i definitely agree with what you're saying because I've heard, and you look around the NFL, a lot of people will say, like, the NFL is a bunch of franchises that there are a handful of franchises that are consistently trying to win the Super Bowl and everyone else.

Speaker 4 Like, that's it. Like, there's franchises.
Everyone else is just trying to make a little money. Right, exactly.
Make a little money and maybe sneak in the playoffs every now and then.

Speaker 4 And then you have like five or six franchises. Like, this is our commitment to try to win the Super Bowl every single year.
You are accurate, my brother. That's why I love you sometimes.
There we go.

Speaker 4 Sometimes, sometimes.

Speaker 4 You just got to start respecting the Bears a little bit more because they're five and one and we're not apologizing.

Speaker 4 I love me some Nick Foles, not the other Nick that y'all talk about, but I love Nick Foles. Yeah, you love it.
Yeah, there's a lot to love. Sir, yeah, there's a lot to love.
A lot to love.

Speaker 4 All right, Deion,

Speaker 4 Coach Prime.

Speaker 4 I got the guy's name wrong today. Give me the name again.
Trevor Lawrence? No, no. Oh, he called.
Deion called Glenny Balls Lenny Balls. Oh, Lenny Balls.
It's actually like Lenny is. Not Lenny Balls.

Speaker 4 The other guy that I was introducing to him. Oh, Tongue Town Bob.
Yeah, you're dipping into the bars. Tongue was Tongues Down.
It's Tongue Town. Oh, yeah.
Tongue's Downstown. Youngstown, Ohio.

Speaker 4 Yeah, Tongues Down. Deion Snow is quickly finding out we're not the NFL network.

Speaker 4 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 Tongues Brown Bob is a totally different guy with a different

Speaker 4 guy. Yeah, that's a different guy altogether.

Speaker 4 All right, Dion. You guys are unbelievable.
All right. See you, man.
Thank you. All right, buddy.
See you there.

Speaker 4 Okay, let's wrap up the show with our Football Guy of the Week and who's back of the week. So, Football Guy of the Week, presented by Phillips Norelco.

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

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

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

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

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

Speaker 4 All right, Philip Siralco, One Blade, Football Guy of the Week, Jake Cubb.

Speaker 9 So we have.

Speaker 4 Thanks for dressing up, Jake.

Speaker 5 Is that a diss?

Speaker 4 Yeah, no, it's just, I don't know. I don't know why.
You're sitting in Billy's seat, so like it's reflexive.

Speaker 5 Reflexive? I'm just going to have to roast you. Yeah.
Yeah, reflexive. It just feels natural.

Speaker 4 Like, if you were sitting one over, I wouldn't have said a word, but because you're in Billy's seat, it's like,

Speaker 4 I just want to bust you.

Speaker 4 You need a punching bag. Talk to me.
Right, Billy's our guy. Right.
Yeah. So you're just going to have to be it right now.
Thanks for dressing up, Jake.

Speaker 5 I like those pants, actually. Yeah, they're actually really nice.
Do they come in your size?

Speaker 4 Roasted. Got him.
Roasted.

Speaker 5 Have some. Suck it, Billy.

Speaker 4 Billy football. What did I do to deserve it? You're sitting in Billy's seat.
It's very simple. You sat there.
Yeah. Okay, Jake.

Speaker 9 We only have four spots, but we have five nominees. You guys

Speaker 9 have to help me out.

Speaker 5 Oh, we're going to whittle it down.

Speaker 4 Yeah, okay. All right, let's do it.

Speaker 9 First up, Dolphins quarterback to a tung of Iloa. He went back to the field and sat around the 15-yard line in full uniform to FaceTime his parents and soak in the moment after making his NFL debut.

Speaker 4 I love it. Two for two, 10 yards.

Speaker 5 Very nice, But

Speaker 5 his hip did not fall off during the game, which is what we're all hoping for. Yes.
I like that, though. I like just becoming one with the field.
It's very less miles-ish.

Speaker 4 Just soak in that moment.

Speaker 5 Just soaking with it. He should have gone dick down onto the field.

Speaker 4 This is actually the other side of the football player retiring that refuses to take off their pads for like an hour in the locker room. Yep.

Speaker 4 This is the beginning of the career, which I hope is a long, illustrious career in the NFL.

Speaker 9 Friend of the program, Titans head coach Mike Varable. This is from Tuesday, so he locked in a spot earlier in the week.

Speaker 9 Gave everybody in the organization a game ball after Tennessee's win over Buffalo following the team's COVID outbreak.

Speaker 4 I like that.

Speaker 5 Yep, just spreading all the germs. Everywhere.

Speaker 4 Love it.

Speaker 9 Rams

Speaker 9 running backs coach Thomas Brown, after rupturing his Achilles during practice Thursday, he, according to Sean McVay, walked right off, didn't flinch, and won't miss a beat.

Speaker 5 Okay, I like that too. I would like to see him get a scooter on the sidelines, though.
A scooter or like some sort of homemade Booger Mobile that he can use to just like teleport back and forth.

Speaker 4 You don't have the Northwestern coach on there, do you? I I do not. Okay, because this also happened to Northwestern coach.
I think it was maybe a wide receivers coach.

Speaker 4 He looked like he tore his groin in practice and they had the clip, and he was just doing all the drills. And everyone kept on saying, Coach, are you okay?

Speaker 4 He's like, Yep, fine, fine, as he's hop skipping around the field trying to play through the paint.

Speaker 5 I also like the idea of the coach now using the training facility, like getting the same treatment done at the same time as the players. Yeah.
Like he's doing his rehab.

Speaker 4 And you know he's pissed because he's like, can't make the club in the tub. Yeah.

Speaker 9 Next up, we have a random West Virginia fan who customized a jersey named FU COVID with a number 19 and wore it to Saturday's game versus Kansas.

Speaker 5 I love it. This is what we need.
We need to shame the virus itself more.

Speaker 4 Go at it. Yeah.

Speaker 5 You know what? We've been, it's like being in training camp for a while. We're sick of hitting each other, getting into arguments about spreading the disease.

Speaker 5 We need to actually just go at the common enemy, which is just roast the virus.

Speaker 4 We should fight COVID. I would imagine if COVID, we should just get, yeah, like, be a man, COVID.

Speaker 5 Fight us. I want to hang out next to somebody that has COVID and just punch the droplets coming out of their mouth.

Speaker 9 And then finally, we have Kentucky head coach Mark Stoop.

Speaker 4 Waterboard him with hydrochloricloroxican. Bleach.
Bleach, yeah, bleach.

Speaker 9 Bleach their ass. Mark stoops after his team's winner.

Speaker 4 Not bleach their ass, that's porn. Right.
But bleach their ass.

Speaker 9 After his team's win at Tennessee, showed his excitement.

Speaker 4 Did you watch porn, Jake? No. Okay.
Of course you do.

Speaker 4 Wait, Jake, say two is last name again?

Speaker 9 Tung of Iloa.

Speaker 5 You've practiced that.

Speaker 4 Very much so.

Speaker 4 Many times. I looked it up right before to confirm the practice.
We're not going to have another hilaire incident.

Speaker 9 Claude Edwards, Elair. There we go.
Okay, perfect. Finally, we have Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops.

Speaker 9 After his teams went at Tennessee, he showed his excitement by saying, quote, we haven't won here and I am tired of that

Speaker 9 in the locker room.

Speaker 4 So he didn't swear. Oh, he did.
That's.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 4 What did he say? What words did he say?

Speaker 9 I can spell it out, but I feel like there's a different idea.

Speaker 5 I think as a journalist, you need to say, it's like a mad leg. You have no idea what he You need to accurately portray what was said.

Speaker 4 You know what you're doing?

Speaker 5 Jake,

Speaker 5 you're making the story about yourself now by not saying it's a story.

Speaker 4 It was written.

Speaker 9 Print journalists, they put it in quotes, and that's okay.

Speaker 4 So put it in quotes. Air quotes.

Speaker 9 No, speaking's different.

Speaker 4 Speaking? Quote. What if you just say quote?

Speaker 4 Was it a slur? Yeah, it sounds like it was a slur. Well, how would we know? Funny stuff.
F-U-C-K-I-N-G-S-H-I-T.

Speaker 4 Got it.

Speaker 9 And I think it was leaked because one of his players was on IG Live, so I don't know if this is supposed to get out there, but Matt Jones tweeted it.

Speaker 4 Okay.

Speaker 4 I think.

Speaker 4 So Mark Soup. Who do you want to kick out? Well, Mark Soup should be in there anyway because I think I saw a tweet that they stopped on the way to Tennessee to hold a practice.

Speaker 4 So he's in there.

Speaker 5 I think he's got a natural clock. Like most football guys do.
If they spend longer than four hours without a whistle around their neck being blown, it just feels unnatural.

Speaker 5 They have to reset that clock.

Speaker 8 I feel like tonguey. I'd vote tonguey.

Speaker 4 No, I think we should vote the guy who got hurt because he doesn't want us to draw attention to it. The Rams to it.
The Rams. Yeah, he doesn't want us to.

Speaker 5 We're drawing attention to his injury. Either that or Vrabel because Vrabel was last week.

Speaker 5 Also, if they're not going to take the virus seriously, then we should not take them seriously. True.

Speaker 4 As Doug Farrar pointed out.

Speaker 9 So thanks for coming out, Vraibes.

Speaker 4 No, we can't do that to Vrabes. Let's do the

Speaker 4 coach. Yeah, because I think that he would be upset that we even talked about him being hurt.
Yes. Because he's not.
Well, no, he's hurt. He's not injured.
Yes. Right.

Speaker 9 So we'll kick him out. Thomas Brown.

Speaker 4 All right. Everyone vote for it.
Football.

Speaker 7 The pro football football show is presented by the Chevy Silverado. Built for the hustle, ready for the game.
Chevy Silverado is America's most dependable full-size truck.

Speaker 7 Whether you're grinding through the week or gearing up for kickoff, the Silverado is one ride that's always game ready. Just like football, it's about grit, grind, and getting it done.

Speaker 7 Head to Chevy.com to learn more and build your own Chevy Silverado.

Speaker 4 Let's finish up. We got who's back of the week?

Speaker 4 Henry.

Speaker 8 Daniel.

Speaker 4 Go ahead. Scalboy.

Speaker 8 I have a few who's back to the weeks. My first one was Will Smith.

Speaker 4 Ooh.

Speaker 4 Which one? Exactly. Both of them? Yep.
But not the one that we think.

Speaker 8 No.

Speaker 8 Yes. There's two Will Smiths back.
Neither of them are the ones.

Speaker 4 That's what I said. Yeah, right.
Well, I know which ones to think because I was watching that game.

Speaker 8 So in the,

Speaker 8 what was it? The Braves Dodgers? Yeah. Will Smith, the pitcher on the Dodgers versus Will Smith, the batter on the Braves.

Speaker 8 Will Smith versus Will Smith. Took him Yabo.

Speaker 4 Took him Yabbo. Took him a hard off him.

Speaker 4 Yeah, and Tim Kirchin, I tweeted at the time, but I'm pretty sure Tim Kirchen just ejaculated everywhere because that is such a fun, quirky football or a baseball moment.

Speaker 5 Yes, that's the ultimate baseball moment.

Speaker 8 My other who's back of the week is the Pope.

Speaker 4 The Pope. Good.
The Pope. The P guy.
Big P. The Big P.

Speaker 8 Although, I think this is like, this might have been like.

Speaker 4 What's the Pope's name? Big Cat. The Pope.
No, but is it John? they're all name john yeah they're all choke oh yeah that's right but what was his name before that uh but uh pre-pope yeah

Speaker 4 uh

Speaker 5 his name i can you imagine like if you grew up with brons as like your buddy when you were like teenagers and the pope was like running around smoking cigarettes with you the pope benedict no francesa

Speaker 4 yeah mike francesa pope francis is actually his name no yeah pope francis it's pope francis all right there we go his name's not John. We just learned a lot about religion that we didn't know.

Speaker 4 Pope Francis.

Speaker 8 Why is Pope back? Pope memes are hot in the street. This might be, you know, Stay Woke, Big Cath, just trying to get, you know.

Speaker 4 Oh, Big Cath trying to get into the youth of America.

Speaker 5 Barstool Big Cath. They should put out like a

Speaker 5 Twitter handle.

Speaker 4 We should do that.

Speaker 5 And just to put it

Speaker 4 out. TikToks.

Speaker 5 Yeah, all his gambling losses. TikToks of praying.

Speaker 4 Uh-huh. Yeah.
But yeah, it's one of those things. He tweets out like last year.

Speaker 5 He tweets out a six-pack of communion wafers every Saturday morning.

Speaker 4 Saturdays are for the wafers.

Speaker 8 It was funny, you know, the first few, and then every single

Speaker 5 boys would also probably work in the country.

Speaker 8 Every single account that's ever existed had to make their own Pope jokes and Pope memes, and I killed it within like 24 hours.

Speaker 4 Yes, it was very funny.

Speaker 5 Confession, I thought it was Rudy Giuliani when I first saw it.

Speaker 4 Yeah, nice.

Speaker 4 No, Rudio Giuliani actually looks like a dead person walking. Like, if you were like, what would a dead person who's still alive look like? That would be Rudy Giuliani.

Speaker 4 All right, PFT. I wonder what the.

Speaker 4 God save the makeup artist who has to sit down and help out Rudy every time he goes on TV.

Speaker 5 I thought you were saying, well, I think it's just Rudy that does it to himself. Yeah, he just likes, he just head-butts a patch of foundation.

Speaker 4 Powdered donut. Yeah.
Like, we're good to go.

Speaker 5 Who's back of the week is Nick Sabin. Nick Sabin's back, battled bravely back from COVID in less than a week, I think.
So there's some speculation whether or not it was a false positive test.

Speaker 5 But the rule was like you have to have three negative tests come back within a 24-hour time span or something like that if you want to be allowed to coach again.

Speaker 5 And then I'm pretty sure they just gave him a test every five minutes. Yes.
They were just like testing him nonsense.

Speaker 4 He was just spitting constantly in a bottle.

Speaker 5 Yes. They just had like a beaker that was in front of him at all times.

Speaker 4 My favorite

Speaker 4 moment from Nick Sabin getting back on the field was all the journalists being like, this sends a bad message that Nick Saban is bigger than college football. It's like, we're just finding that out?

Speaker 5 Yeah, it wasn't the $10 million a year contract.

Speaker 4 Nick Sabin is bigger. Okay, yeah, yeah, you're right.

Speaker 4 God, like, we can't have that. We can't have people think Nick Sabin is bigger than college football, even though he's literally been bigger than college football for the last decade.

Speaker 5 Yeah, Nick Sabin is bigger than the Pope in the South.

Speaker 4 He is the most powerful man. He's probably like the third most powerful man in America.

Speaker 5 I'd say the most powerful in the SEC states.

Speaker 4 Yes. All of them.
Yes. So, yes, goddammit.
We finally found out that Nick Sabin is more powerful than the college football.

Speaker 5 We're definitely going to get some Paul Feinbaum callers talking shit about Corona, too.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I would love to see the conversation, like Mark Emmert trying to have Nick Sabin not coach. She's being like, can you please? And Nick Saban just shut, like, probably just hangs up on him.

Speaker 5 He'd just be like, fuck you. And this is, yeah, so Saban.

Speaker 4 Talk to my assistant.

Speaker 5 Saban probably like figured out the process for how he was going to defeat this virus very early on. He had the game plan for it.
And this is like the ultimate boss for Nick Saban.

Speaker 5 He's going to weep because there are no stronger enemies left to vanquish after he's already crushed a contagious disease like that.

Speaker 4 Clemson, Clemson, yeah. Tabos got his number.

Speaker 4 That was such a coach-oh, there's very few times

Speaker 4 in like the Sabin-Alabama run where you can get

Speaker 4 Alabama under a touchdown and everyone being like, I don't know about Bama this year. And you're like, Okay, I kind of do because they're always fucking good.

Speaker 4 And they're not like peak Bama, but Mac Jones is good. Really good.
And Jalen Waddell is electric. We were talking about it last week.

Speaker 4 They had Henry Ruggs and Jerry Judy, and Jalen Waddell's better than both of them. Yes.

Speaker 5 They've had awesome receivers. I still think Mechie is going to be as good, if not better, than Waddell.

Speaker 4 They're fucking sick. They're sick.

Speaker 4 All right, my Who's Back of the Week is JFK Jr.

Speaker 4 He's back, or was supposed to be back. Didn't show up.

Speaker 5 Oh, he was going to show up in a wrestling.

Speaker 4 He was trending on Saturday, and I clicked it, and I was like, what's going on here?

Speaker 4 Apparently, there was a theory online that JFK Jr. would come, has never died and was coming back to announce that he was President Trump's running mate.
Oh, shit. That was.

Speaker 4 Total cuck. I love that, like, these theories, in all these theories, it has Mike Pence being a cuck.
Right. It's like, what happens to Pence?

Speaker 5 All right. So JFK Jr., he was going to like, where has he been? Has he been to like slow pressure?

Speaker 4 Probably like, I don't know what's going on.

Speaker 5 Just flying around the world. Chappaquita? Yeah, Chappaquita.
Just like practicing water landings. Yes.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 He's just been hanging out there.

Speaker 5 Him and Harrison Ford have been going on a coast-to-coast, just one constant flight back and forth, getting their pilot license. Yeah.
Getting instrument rated for the family.

Speaker 4 He's been hanging with Amelia Earhart. Yeah.
Wherever she is.

Speaker 5 Okay, so, but he didn't show up.

Speaker 4 No, he didn't.

Speaker 4 But he was back for a minute. He was trending, which is kind of cool to trend from the grave.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 And not be canceled.

Speaker 5 I think it's one of all of our goals to, like, at some point go viral on a platform that did not exist at the time of her death.

Speaker 4 And, but, like, especially not canceled. Because, like, people trend from the grave, but they're usually being canceled from the grave.
This one was like, hey, dude,

Speaker 4 it's Saturday, October 17th. I mean, JFK Jr.
is about to show up.

Speaker 5 How incredible would it be if that was true, though?

Speaker 4 Just once I want one person to be dead forever and show up. What happened? Like, just K Jr.
originally.

Speaker 4 Well, he died.

Speaker 5 He flew his plane into the Long Island Sound. He died.

Speaker 4 I didn't know that. Yeah.
He died. Rip.

Speaker 4 R.I.P. Well, maybe not.
So it goes. So he might be alive.
But I just want, like, Tupac, like just Elvis, once, just one of these guys, just show up and be like, guess what? Emilia Earhart.

Speaker 5 Like, hey. Steve Jobs.

Speaker 4 Still here. Yeah.
Steve Jobs. Just give me one.

Speaker 4 Not Hitler. No,

Speaker 4 any of the others, give me him.

Speaker 5 I mean, there is like a whole underground conspiracy theory that he is alive in South America.

Speaker 4 Right, exactly. Recently did it.
Wait, Steve Jobs?

Speaker 5 Yeah, both. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 I was just saying

Speaker 4 H-Man, no.

Speaker 5 No, definitely not the H-Man.

Speaker 4 Everyone else, give me one of these cool stories where a guy just shows up and is like, hey, I'm here.

Speaker 5 You know what they need to do? Tim Apple needs to, at his next press conference exhibition thing where he unveils the exact same iPhone again, he needs to just...

Speaker 4 In a turtleneck. Yeah, he just needs to come out

Speaker 5 with something so extremely shitty that Steve Jobs can't bite his tongue anymore. It was like, this guy's ruining my company.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I'm back. I'm back, baby.
All right, Jake, you're up. Dickie V.

Speaker 4 Yes. Yeah.
Dicky V.

Speaker 9 College basketball may be in the offseason, but his Rays celebrations in front of his TV and his personalized Rays jersey are electric.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 5 So it's great to see. I need to see him jumping back into his hot tub wearing the polo shirt again.
Yeah. It's just the voice.
That's the best celebration.

Speaker 4 I really wanted the Astros just to crash the party and just

Speaker 4 what? Jake's a purist. I hate them.
The Rays are the Rays are like anti-purist baseball. They play that whole thing on a spreadsheet.
Yeah. They're fucking nerds.

Speaker 5 Wait, Jake, you just said, you just said the A word.

Speaker 4 A?

Speaker 5 Yeah, the Houston Astros.

Speaker 4 Oh, Astros. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 Ass.

Speaker 5 You said ass. Ass and titties.

Speaker 4 Which one are you?

Speaker 5 Knew we could get you to cuss.

Speaker 4 Got me. Yeah.

Speaker 9 Also, there's all these clips that are coming up. Of course, I've cursed before, but after

Speaker 9 the Brennan thing, I've

Speaker 4 the line in the sand, like, I will never curse again.

Speaker 9 No, it's just, it makes it.

Speaker 4 You'll never say that hard F bomb again. God, I really limit myself.
It was funny because

Speaker 5 Jake was actually concerned about that. He's like, that really opened my eyes.
Like, it can all be gone in a second if you say something like that.

Speaker 5 It's like, like, Jake spends his free time dropping hard Fs, just like strutting around the the office using homophobic slurs

Speaker 5 I really need to cut that out of my vocabulary

Speaker 4 And the best part about all this is that like if Jake swore on camera, this is the only job you can't get fired for

Speaker 4 But it would be the worst thing for Jake because he'd be like, I'd be stuck with these guys for the rest of my life. Yes, muscle memory.

Speaker 4 This is hell.

Speaker 5 Yeah, it's very easy.

Speaker 4 Muscle memory.

Speaker 5 It's a lot easier to not start a habit than it is to quit it.

Speaker 4 Yeah, Jake is not afraid of getting fired from the job he has. He's afraid of only having this job.
for the rest of his life.

Speaker 5 Yes. Pre-fired from the job that he wants.

Speaker 4 He's like, could you imagine anything worse? Yeah.

Speaker 9 So I apologize retroactively for those clips.

Speaker 4 Apology not accepted. Until you swear now.

Speaker 5 There's a drive to Deep La.

Speaker 4 There you go.

Speaker 4 Do you have a fact for us, Jake? Animal fact?

Speaker 4 Uh.

Speaker 9 This is the part where you throw it.

Speaker 4 That was a great million aggression.

Speaker 4 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. There's a lizard in South America

Speaker 4 that lives on Hitler's property.

Speaker 5 How about this one?

Speaker 5 Duck-billed platypuses are the only mammals that lay eggs.

Speaker 4 That is good. That's really good.

Speaker 4 That's crazy. That is crazy.

Speaker 4 I bet you. You should have seen me after some chili.

Speaker 4 All right. Let's do numbers.
829. And then, by the way, Wednesday, the best interview we've done this year.
Yeah. With the coolest guy we've ever had.
There's awesome people that actually predicted.

Speaker 4 Yep, a couple people. A couple people had it correct.

Speaker 4 But you'll be very happy because it was an awesome, awesome interview.

Numbers. Who's who wants to guess? Give me 8.

Speaker 4 888. Lucky 8s.

Speaker 5 888. 79? Damn it.

Speaker 9 I feel like we need to shuffle it, like, hand shuffle it next time because the numbers at the bottom have no shot.

Speaker 5 Yeah, you're right. The single digits are all down at the bottom.

Speaker 4 All right, well, we'll hand shuffle next time. Yeah.
For Wednesday's show for a great interview.
