Postgame Show: 11 Bananas

Alright, Smirnoff.

Official vodka of the NFL, the world's number one vodka.

Here's the deal: game day is everything.

The noise, the rituals, the passion, the dip, the wings, the dip again.

Smirnoff belongs in that mix because if you're tailgating or hosting or just sitting there checking your fantasy lineup every 30 seconds, you need Smirnoff.

Otherwise, it's not a real game day.

They've been doing this since 1864, which is.

I don't even want to do the math.

A long time.

They're award-winning.

They make cocktails super easy and they're all about bringing fans together.

So yeah, we do game days.

That's their thing.

And if you're over 21, you should too.

Grab a bottle of Smirnoff at your local retailer and head to Smirnoff.com to find recipes of delicious cocktails perfect for game day.

Please drink responsibly.

Smirnoff, number 21 vodka.

Distilled from grain, 40% alcohol by volume.

The Smirnoff Company, New York, New York.

Please do not share with anyone under legal drinking age.

Does this Mac Jones Diana thing work in post-game?

That's crazy.

Yeah.

I don't even know what it is, what you guys are talking about there.

He saw a dead body.

Yeah.

He saw a dead body and alerted the cops.

Yeah.

Let me get the...

Which is the second strangest thing that happened to him that day because he ate 11 bananas during the game.

Yeah.

11?

11 bananas.

That seems like too much potassium.

Do you guys think when you watch Mac Jones play in that game and see specifically the way the 49ers are all hurt and George Kittle and their wide receivers play styles that hurt the body.

Mac Jones was ravaged physically in the last game and still overcame it.

It was impressive to watch.

He was hit pretty hard.

And he was hurt in this game and he's still feeling it.

Every time I see him in that uniform, I think back to Shanahan wanted him over Trey Lance and then got talked into Trey Lance.

Like

he always liked Mac Jones.

and i mean constant i know he's got to do it he he's had leads in super bowls i i he as an offensive coordinator as a head coach i know he's got to win the big one for some people but it's irrefutable that he is just like a tier above what he can do with injured teams what he can do with cast off quarterbacks it's unbelievable you don't put o'connell and mcvet i feel like it's those three those are the three the results i mean it's hard for us to know what good coaching is.

Vrabel's also like a hell of an underdog.

I'm so happy to have that back in my life.

But to be able to win a game with Mac Jones as quarterback when everyone in the league wrote him off, Carson Wentz, same deal.

Baker Mayfield when McVay did it before.

Like, those guys are just a notch above.

It seems like there's like three or four guys in the NFL that can really truly put any QB in there.

Who's the fourth?

Because I said three.

Who else are we putting in there?

I thought

McDaniel was like pacing towards there, but not anymore.

Andy Reid?

I'd probably throw Andy Reed in there.

He did it with Alex Smith.

I'll allow it.

Thank you.

You guys have that as a skill, which would be a pretty great skill for any coach to have.

It would be more valuable than all the other skills.

Can you turn...

Sean Payton?

Yeah, he's good.

He's good, too.

Throw Payton, so it's five.

Five.

But that's it.

No one else is getting in.

I kind of like Liam Cohen if he can turn it off with Trevor Lawrence.

I kind of like it.

This is our analysis of these things in this sport.

There's a coach who could come over here and just make quarterbacks quarterbacks magical.

Andy Reid has always been that guy.

Andy Reid so happens to have the go now, but he did with Alex Smith, Donald McNabb.

Ty Deppmer, Coy Deppmer, given Michael Vick like that incredible

company.

Kevin Cobb.

Jeff Gardasia.

Kevin Cobb.

I enjoyed again for the third straight Saturday driving around and listening to college football local broadcasts

during the afternoon.

And today's or Saturday's was this, these two sentences put together.

You'll recognize the game, I assume, from what it is that he described.

The announcer yelled, what a juke by Gunner.

There are some Kentucky underwear at the eight-yard line.

So the visual magic of radio made it so that what I conjured in Athens was, you know, just some Kentucky underwear at the eight-yard line.

No, but I believe he was taking some creative liberties there.

The SEC, we can, we've seen enough to know that that's not special anymore.

They're the ACC with a better publicist and bigger NIL budgets.

But every week you can expect now that parody is there and certain programs aren't given carte blanche to cheat.

Yeah, I said it.

You're going to see a lot more of this.

But the narrative is going to remain the same.

You're going to have three lost teams still making the playoff because ESPN won't allow for us to apply context to what's going on.

Oh, but the flames have climbed high enough on James Franklin and Penn State that

these last two are crushers because he's supposed to have a talented team this year.

This is supposed to be the team that was the most talented of them.

And we go from Oregon and overtime, and there's a lot of parody to this league to, oh, no,

a real college football giant never loses to the Owen Ford team, whether they've fired their coach, whether it's UCLA or not.

That's something that never happens in the sport.

And so now Penn State gets just immediately swept out to sea.

Season of grand expectations, the grandest of James Franklin's life, gets swept right out to sea, four games in, five games in.

But they'll be back in the top 10 if they beat Ohio State.

I'm not wrong.

That's how this goes.

If Miami loses, though, they can't come back from 23.

Miami's going to end up being really obnoxious to people.

The Michael Irvin stuff, like the...

Good, that's how you know we're back.

Yeah.

When they try to change the rules on us, when they blame NIL, when they do what they do with the Florida Panthers, which is blame state tax,

that's how you know.

If Miami loses one game, they're gonna.

With a trubituary,

trilogy, excuse me, excuse me.

Trubisky.
