I'm your host, Brandon Kravitz, 0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:22.000 joined by the wonderfully insightful and talented Stucky and Kendrick Middleton. 0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:25.360 On today's episode, We've got our plant the flag, game 0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:28.400 of the week for week three, some picks that have 0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:31.280 us in a pickle, and of course the main event 0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:35.760 evans Tuesday Primer guys, sort of a weird week for me. 0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:39.400 Tomorrow night, I'm headed to the Sleep Token concert. I 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:42.400 don't know if you've ever heard of this band. I 0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:44.480 sent a picture of the lead singer in our group 0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:50.520 chat slightly frightening. It's members in the band remain anonymous 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:52.920 because they all wear masks, so you can kind of 0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:56.840 get an idea, like think old school wrestling. Demolition is 0:00:56.920 --> 0:01:00.520 kind of what I'm going to here any words of them, 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:02.639 because I feel like a complete fish out of water, 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:05.319 like Irock Khaki's on a regular basis, I feel like 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:06.040 I don't fit it. 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:09.720 Square black that would be, I think the best thing 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:10.880 you can do. I know that you have a pair 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:12.800 of black pants, I know you have a black T shirt. 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:14.400 Just wear black. 0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:17.080 I went to see Red Hot Chili Peppers or in 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:19.959 Atlanta a couple of years ago and they had some 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:23.040 like K pop scream o band come out and apparently 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.760 they're huge, and I had no idea and half of 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:27.120 the crowd was there to see them, and it was 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:30.920 the It was like little girls screaming with like heavy 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:33.520 metal in the back. Oh, there's some One of their 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:35.880 songs is like something chocolate. I know somebody who's gonna 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:37.560 watch this on YouTube is gonna know exactly what I'm 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:38.040 talking about. 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:39.520 I'm gonna have to send it to you guys later. 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:43.080 But I'm sitting there just watching their opener and these 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.520 little girls come out in these scary like death metal 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:48.120 costumes and just start screaming. And it was the weirdest 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:49.880 experience I've ever felt in my life. I was not 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:54.440 dressed in enough black just when end out black it out? 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.800 All right? No eyeliner, skip the eyeliner, just go or 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.040 like should I go football EyeBlack under. 0:01:59.880 --> 0:02:01.280 The Derek Carr. 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.320 Yes, I have no advice. I haven't been to a 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:10.120 concert since college sports. From my life, I have not. Literally, 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:12.959 I think the last concert I went to was so 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:17.120 I went to school in DC. I honestly think it 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:22.000 was like Kanye West came for some college fest thing 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:24.320 and that was the last concert. 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.000 Wow, you get to see him before he went absolutely bananas. 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:31.480 Yeah, it was like college dropout albums. So yeah, that 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:32.240 was when. 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:35.400 That's a vibrant See that's and that's my style. Like 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:38.440 I'm more of a catch a Kanye in his prime. 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:41.560 Maybe some Bruno mars. I'm going, I don't know how 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:44.000 my wife got into this group, but you know, she's 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.200 she's much more hardcore than I am. And I'm just 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:48.000 going to be a supportive husband. But I got to 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:51.120 get into it. Otherwise I'm gonna be that I'll be 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:53.520 the you know, the Jewish husband that's like, all right, 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:55.040 when's this thing gonna end? So I at least you 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:56.880 want to I at least want to do my part. 0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:01.239 I just I don't know what I'm getting myself into. 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:04.720 A Yeah, well, like you know, like hip hop pop, 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:06.239 that's usually more my vibe. 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:07.639 Isn't he in trouble for gambling? 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:09.000 Oh? 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:10.840 This is our kind of guy. We should get Bruno 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:12.720 on the on the Favorites podcast. 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.160 I think he owes Vegas like a million dollars or something, 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.280 so he has to like perform his way out of it. 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:23.120 Oait, Yeah, I that's why I'm hosting this podcast. Also, 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:25.919 it's well behind the scenes for all of you. 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:28.880 No, it's remember I did read that that. 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:33.280 He I'm reading allegedly is the is the proper phrasing 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:35.920 on Bruno and his gambling exploits. 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:37.880 From anywhere from seven million to fifty million. 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:40.040 That's a big number. 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:45.880 You got really suck at this. That's like some Drake 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:46.800 stats right. 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.800 There, the guy who screwed the Jaguars over on FanDuel 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:50.320 or whatever. 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:52.760 I gotta look at it this more. We'll put you 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:55.360 on the spot. What if i'd put you if I 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:59.720 dropped you on a stage? What what? 0:03:59.720 --> 0:03:59.760 What? 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.560 And you you had to do something? It was a 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:05.480 talent show and I just dropped you there and there 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.600 was one hundred thousand people in the crowd. What would 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:09.880 your talent pay? Do you have any talent? 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:11.760 So I did a talent show when I was in 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:13.960 high school. This is one of the most embarrassing stories 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:15.400 I can tell. I have a hoodie on right now 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.159 so I can actually reenact this. My headphones are on, 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:23.400 but I don't have any talents. This is about what 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.400 we're doing right now. Is about the extent of what 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:28.640 I would consider talent for me. So I was helping 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:30.680 someone out in high school that put on a talent 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.359 show and they said, I need more participants, will you 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:37.240 do something? And so I was pretty big into working 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:38.440 out at the time, so I said, I'll do a 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:40.480 hundred push ups. So that was gonna be my talent. 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:44.520 And I came out to Eminem's Lose Yourself with a 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:49.120 zip up hoodie on. I unzip the hoodie, I throw 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:53.160 the jacket off. We're going like Chippendale style, and I 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:57.480 stopped hard at seventy four. It was very embarrassing. Did 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:00.000 you go to a hundred? I don't know if anybody else, 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.359 but I definitely just sort of collapsed onto the stage. 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.640 So I'm I'm definitely afraid of talent shows now. So 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:08.720 I'm a little bit nervous even just answering that. 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.920 I think I would probably this sounds really weird and 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:14.719 it's not really a talent. But I can crack a 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:17.480 lot of really random bones in my body, like repeatedly, 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:20.720 Like I can pop my hips repeatedly, my back repeatedly, 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:24.039 my fingers, like I can do all of that, So 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:25.599 that might be my talent is I can just crack 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:27.600 weird bones in my body. I can't think of anything else. 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:29.080 I'm actually a talentless loser. 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:32.200 I think that's how we all got into this stucky 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:32.760 What about you? 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:39.520 I mean, I've done, I've done, I do karaoke, and 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:41.920 I do like, how will I know about Whitney Houston? 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:48.200 But you go Whitney Houston? This bold, my friend, You'd be. 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.919 Sports I mean, my only talents are like sports trivia. 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:53.640 I can if you in twenty minutes, I can name 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.560 every country and capital of the world A one hundred 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:56.960 and nineties. 0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:00.200 No, that's phenom. That's really I. 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:03.520 Would be like super boring, like sitting up there for 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:05.640 twenty minutes naming every capital and country. 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.240 Now, could you imagine us standing on a stage as 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:10.839 the Favorites trio doing all three of these things like 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:14.240 I'm trying to crank out one hundred push ups unsuccessfully 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.159 and stuck. He's trying to name capitals around the world, 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.960 and Kendri just just over here kracking knuckles. That would 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:22.240 be I think if we did that as a triumvirent, 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.720 we'd actually have some that'd be unique. You could get 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:26.000 us on America's got talent. 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.360 That is my bar play whatever. I'm at a bar, 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.800 and I'll just bet people all the time that I 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:35.159 can name every world capital and people will just start 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:37.479 They'll never they never believe that I can in able 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:40.800 to start firing countries. And then I've done this talland. 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:41.600 How did that start? 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:48.120 Ah? I just wanted to learn it one debt one time. 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:53.560 I like learning random things. It was useful to qualify 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.160 for Jeopardy, Like if you know every world capital, you 0:06:56.160 --> 0:07:00.400 can get soon you would. You're like you're a base 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:03.600 for like Jeopardy questions. Just when a country comes up, 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.120 you just learn like all that you learn, like certain cities. 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:10.040 And so I don't know, I'm weird, but yeah, I 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.640 don't really have any other talents. Like I can't juggle. 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:16.080 I can't even whistle, like I'm still this day. I 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.800 can't whistle. I can only do the just one. I 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.040 don't know how people like whistle a tune can't do that. 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:25.880 I'm pretty good at rock paper Scissors? Does that count 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:26.440 me too? 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.040 Because I know the cheat code? Do you know the 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:28.600 cheat code? 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:31.680 Everyone thinks are good at rock? Paer, there's actually a formula. 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:34.800 There's a formula of rock paper scissors. There actually is, 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:36.600 do you guys, Let's play. 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.360 First, let's sick.

We're gonna have to do 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:47.520 this in person because we're not at the same time 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:52.720 streaming leg Yeah, we we will do. There actually is 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:54.480 a formula. Do you guys know who Live Morgan is 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:55.280 in WWE? 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:57.160 Hell?

It was actually so intense. 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:13.160 I didn't know that there was a formula to it. 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:15.360 I just am just really good at reading minds when 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:15.920 it comes to those. 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:18.920 There's actually a formula to beat someone in rock paper scissors. 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:20.800 But I can maybe do like some karate stuff. I 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.920 did martial arts for my entire childhood, so maybe whenever 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:26.200 I'm drunk, I like to like have people put cans 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:28.520 on stuff and I'll Roundhouse it, so maybe that would 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:29.160 be my talent. 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:31.080 I don't know, I'm not very comented. 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:32.480 Well that's better than cracking up. 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:36.040 Yeah, I really am talentless, Like I have no artistic 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:40.160 ability zero. I can't I can draw it the sun, 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:45.480 and I can't sing, can't dance, So yeah, I might 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:50.280 just have to have people ask me questions stuff. So yeah, 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:51.360 I would lose the talent show. 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:56.120 But anyway, Lisa, I just wanted to set I'm glad 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:59.720 that we were able to springboard into our talentless lives. 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.120 But I want to give you guys an update on 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:05.120 Thursday's episode as to how this the concerts tomorrow night. 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:09.520 So this today is more about my anxiety surrounding it, 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:13.079 and then Thursday. I can't wait. The one thing I'm 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:15.240 really excited about is the people watching is going to 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.920 be tremendous. So I'll give you guys the full breakdown 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.120 of all of that. But before we get to the sides, 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:23.760 let's get to our main dish of the day. Some 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:27.599 news across the league. Baker Mayfield leads the charge to 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:29.840 snatch a win on the road against Houston, a gutsy 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:33.720 fourth down conversion on their final drive, breaking Stucky's heart 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:35.439 sitting there with the Texans mine. It's two and a 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:39.160 half ticket and the Chargers absolutely dominated the Raiders. The 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:42.840 Raiders might just be a bad football team, Stucky. Outside 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:46.600 of the heartbreaking l you took ats any big takeaways 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:47.240 from last night? 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:50.280 Yeah, I always say your NFL weeks are all about 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.120 how much fun you had, and just those like the 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:56.959 games are always gonna be tight, markets are efficient. How 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.160 how those like final minutes of get your bets come 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:04.080 down to? And yeah, that was one that was zero fun. 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:05.560 And it was two weeks in a row. I had 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:07.440 the Falcons against the Bucks last week, so I've had 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:10.959 Baker Mayfield go down and score a touchdown and back 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:12.920 to back week so I alsow the Ravens against the Bills, 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.679 which was fun, Chiefs against the I've had a bunch 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:18.040 of bad No, I've had no fun through two weeks, 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:22.920 so hopefully that changes. But yeah, that was brutal. I 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:24.800 mean the Bucks ran it better than the Texans. The 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.040 Texas play calling still left a lot to be desired. 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:29.960 I thought they were going to really take a step, 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:32.240 Like the goal at the second and goal at the one, 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:38.520 those three plays were really they were confusing like the rollout, 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.120 and but they can't run the ball. It's still some 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:44.640 offensive line issues. I don't think the play calling was 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.080 that improved from I mean a lot of a lot 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:49.160 of the things I saw were like is Bobby Slogs 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.360 still there? So yeah, it was a good win for 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:57.640 the Bucks. But they, I mean they got a bit fortunate. Again. 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:00.199 I mean even in the first quarter, you had their 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:03.760 touchdown came off of and illegal hands to the face 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:05.520 on a third and long, which was not a made 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:07.040 up call, and then there was a tripping that they 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:10.719 didn't call. So then that those two touchdowns, the other 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:12.280 touchdown drive they had to drop pick. That was the 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.319 only time they scored until the last minute. But that's 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.320 what Baker Mayfield does in the last minute. All the 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:21.200 Texans had to do is come with a just compose 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:24.760 yourself on your your blitz and they would to tell 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.200 fourth and ten. I think they had like an eighty 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.720 five percent win probability on that play, but credit to 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:32.480 the Bucks probably deserved to win. Texans had some special 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:36.920 teams play go other way. But yeah, it was an 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:40.960 impressive last minute drive by Mayfield and company. And yeah, 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:45.840 Broke mart I had the Texans two in a round robin. 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:48.280 To close that around robin, I bet the Texans money 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:51.199 line live. I had the Texans minus two and a 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:55.360 half and in my big survivor pools ones that like 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:59.040 hay out millions of dollars. I get risky earlier on 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:00.720 I used the Texans, So. 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.320 H that's brutal. 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.760 And then yeah, the Chargers just were completely dominant that 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:14.360 defense so well schemed and Mintor put chip Kelly in 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:19.120 a blender. It was impressed performance and like Greg Roman, 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:25.240 like this, he's letting Herbert let it fly. And that's 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:27.360 like I was. I was very fearful and thought that 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:29.640 the Chargers like they did that because it was the Chiefs. 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:30.760 It was game one and they were going to go 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.960 back to being their old conservative selves. But yeah, they 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.280 look really good and they're obvious. They're the favorites to 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:38.320 win that division for a reason. 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:41.760 I like how they just casually mentioned that Tom Brady 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:44.480 is working with Chip Kelly on offense with the Raiders, 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:47.040 and then they go and score nine points. Gino has 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:50.839 three picks. Kendrick. If the Raiders were good, people would 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.319 be pissed, and they might be. They might be anyway, 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.319 you can tell me. I know that people in your 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.480 area of the country get all fired up about Tom Brady, 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:03.240 But is that a big deal or is that something 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:05.440 because the Raiders aren't very good, No one's going to 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:05.880 give a shit. 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:08.160 I think that it is a big deal. 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:11.280 Do I think that Tom Brady being involved in any way, 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:15.040 shape or form in the NFL is awesome? Yes, But 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.600 here's the thing, and so many of those pregame production meetings, 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:22.000 there's so much information given away about their schemes and 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.040 if guys are healthy and what their game plan is 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:25.880 and YadA YadA. So it's like, it's not a Tom 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.400 Brady issue. If I were Tom and I was allowed 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:30.200 to have, you know, like a five percent ownership and 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:32.000 a team and also be on the broadcast to make 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:34.160 almost forty million dollars a year, it's not a Tom 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:36.199 Brady problem. It's the fact that the league and Fox 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:36.800 are letting. 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:37.120 Him do this. 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:39.480 So do I think that it's a bad thing for 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:42.440 the league? Weirdly yes, But it's not a Tom issue. 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.400 At some point, somebody's got a step in and be like, Hey, 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:46.280 if you're going to be on the broadcast. 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:47.280 We change the rules for you. 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:49.280 You can't you can't have the headset on in the booth, 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:52.880 so I think that that's an issue. Do I think 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.320 it's the biggest issue that the Raiders are facing right now? 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:56.520 No, obviously not. 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:00.200 I I'm not sure if this game says but the 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.520 Raiders are bad or the Chargers or that really that 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:05.400 really that good. I'm just I'm kind of in the 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:08.040 middle of the Chargers being the best team in that division, 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:10.680 but also the Raiders not being as bad as this 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:13.960 game showed. Really, honestly, I think Gino Smith was just 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:19.240 throwing some terrible, fuck it balls inaccurate uugh, just terrible 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:21.400 at certain points in this game, and it just it 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:23.880 got boring quickly. I think mostly I put it on Gino, 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:25.640 to be honest, like the fact that you held the 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:28.000 Chargers to twenty points, I don't. 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:29.400 I don't think that that's I don't. 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:33.920 I think the Raiders are better than what we watched 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.960 last night. If you look at the box score, it's like, okay, yeah, whatever. 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:40.080 I'm not about a box score mouth breather watcher, So 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:43.280 that's not my vibe. I think that it's somewhere in 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:45.600 the middle of the Chargers being a top team right 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.200 now and the Raiders being a little bit better than 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:50.680 they were potentially climbing that ladder a little bit. They 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:52.520 didn't look good last night. I think people are looking 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:54.400 into it a little bit too much. The Tom Brady thing. 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:56.440 I think that there's definitely something there, but it's not 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:57.280 a Tom Brady issue. 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.640 It's a league and a Fox Sports issue. 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.280 As far as the Bucks Texans game goes, Baker Mayfield's 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:05.760 balls just do not fit in his pants. It's actually 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:11.360 so impressive, like absolutely beyond impressive. He I love the 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.160 kind of like character arc that his career has had. 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:17.720 But I think my biggest takeaway from everything last night 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.560 is that I hate the Monday night doubleheader. 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:22.600 I hate it so much. 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:28.000 Oh well, I also would say I don't mind it done. 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:31.120 Less shitty one pm game. Give it to me every week. 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.760 They should do this every week, shave one off of 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:35.520 the one pm slate, throw it on Monday. 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:38.920 No, it does maybe less productive because I gotta start 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:43.640 getting into I get into start just diving into the 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:46.200 week hard right after the last Monday Night game, so 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:48.880 when there's two that it's a couple hours later. But 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:51.600 I don't like when they're staggered Monday Night I've watched 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:53.560 football in multiple games all weekend. I'd like to just 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:55.640 have one and then if you're gonna get another one, 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:58.440 give it to me after. But look, kad gin know 0:15:58.480 --> 0:15:59.960 it was just a He was inaccurate. But the Chargers 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:03.480 defense was amazing. Darwin James was amazing. There wasn't much separation, 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:06.000 but Gino was inaccurate, and usually that's one of his strengths, 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:09.160 especially indoors were usually thrives. So I think the Raiders 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:11.440 offense will be better. Bowers wasn't one hundred percent. They 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:13.600 were missing their right guard, so I think their offense 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:16.600 will be better. But that's another black eye on the 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:21.720 Patriots defense, who really needs Gonzales back, because look, they 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:24.680 at the score board didn't show it as far as points, 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:27.880 but they moved up and down the field Against the Patriots, 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.240 Gino threw for what three point fifty in that game 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:32.760 or something something along those lines, so they were moving 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:35.120 the ball will And then they couldn't move the ball 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:38.040 at all against the Chargers. And then we saw the Dolphins, 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:43.480 who their entire offensive line is depleted. They basically couldn't 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:46.960 score a point until garbage against the Colts, and we 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:49.280 saw what the Dolphins did against the Patriots, putting up 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:52.400 nearly four hundred yards, So the Patriots defense definitely has 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:56.360 some issues. Christian Gonzales will help a lot when he 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:56.960 comes back. 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:03.720 AFC West. The public the dollars all in on the 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:07.119 Chargers minus won ten right now over at DraftKings to 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:09.200 win the division the Chiefs. You want to buy a 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:12.239 low opportunity. How about the Chiefs at nearly three to 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:15.480 one there plus two seventy to win the AFC West 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:18.119 quarterbacks going down fast and furious. That's one of the 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:21.600 big storylines this week. JJ McCarthy is out with an 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:25.399 ankle injury. Joe Burrow out several months. So we have 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:28.639 Jake Browning versus Carson Wentz. Kendra, are you still in 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:32.720 You were in Sunday Night Early Reads you wanted to 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:34.520 take the Minnesota Vikings. I don't know if you pulled 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:36.520 the trigger on that yet, but I did not take 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:40.040 God Okay, So are you off of that with this nonsense? 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:41.119 Okay? 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:44.400 Is it bad that I kind of like the Vikings 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:46.560 more than I did a couple of nights ago? Because 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:48.560 if you're gonna give me all right, let's say you 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:51.400 need to go out and win one game right now, 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:54.160 and you have, you know, a backyard pick them, Jake 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:57.359 Browning or Carson Wentz. I'm gonna take Carson Wentz every 0:17:57.440 --> 0:17:58.000 single time. 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:01.720 Yeah about seven years ago. 0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:05.400 Yeah, but Jeeke, I mean Jake brown up. 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:08.040 And down the field of the Jacksonville Jaguars. I don't 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:08.280 know that. 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:11.359 Browning beat her Jags. 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:13.840 No, no, no, Jake Browning has always beat the Jags 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:15.960 anytime he's ever played them. Like, I don't know what 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:19.000 it is about Jake Browning being the Jaguars kryptonite. The 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:20.760 one thing you guys have got to learn about me 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:23.280 quickly is that I'm a realist about the Jacksonville Jaguars. 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:25.199 I have them winning nine games this year. I am 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:27.840 not one of these super fan girls that is unrealistic 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:30.200 about the team. They've hurt me for far too long, 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:32.480 for far too many years. I know where to keep 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:34.639 them so that they cannot hurt me anymore. I know 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:37.879 that Jake Browning is their kryptonite. X y Z. I 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:41.000 just truly and deeply believe that the Vikings have a 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:43.720 better offensive line. They're gonna give Carson Wentz more time 0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:46.920 to throw the ball. Jamar Chase has not looked like 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:49.399 himself through the first couple of weeks of the season 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:51.520
