Speaker 2: about you got a new coach, you got some new

7
00:00:35,013 --> 00:00:39,453
Speaker 2: swagger walking in. How's it going on. I'm still proudly

8
00:00:39,493 --> 00:00:40,573
Speaker 2: wearing my Titans gear.

9
00:00:40,573 --> 00:00:42,333
Speaker 3: But they were big in the news this week, and

10
00:00:42,333 --> 00:00:44,093
Speaker 3: they have a big game on Sunday that I've got

11
00:00:44,133 --> 00:00:44,733
Speaker 3: my eyes on.

12
00:00:45,213 --> 00:00:47,693
Speaker 2: What is the Patriots? Is that right? Vrabel's coming home?

13
00:00:47,853 --> 00:00:49,693
Speaker 2: That's good? Well, we will we will get to all

14
00:00:49,733 --> 00:00:49,933
Speaker 2: of that.

15
00:00:50,733 --> 00:00:53,613
Speaker 1: I want to thank everybody who's been listening here on

16
00:00:53,853 --> 00:00:57,773
Speaker 1: NFL Cover zero. Our listeners continue to grow every week.

17
00:00:57,853 --> 00:01:00,893
Speaker 1: Make sure you tell your friends about it, or you know,

18
00:01:01,053 --> 00:01:04,732
Speaker 1: just people that you meet around the way. We it's

19
00:01:04,733 --> 00:01:07,013
Speaker 1: a Wednesday. So one of the things I like to

20
00:01:07,053 --> 00:01:08,893
Speaker 1: do when we start the midweek show is talk about

21
00:01:08,973 --> 00:01:11,013
Speaker 1: what happened on Monday night football. Because we didn't get

22
00:01:11,012 --> 00:01:13,252
Speaker 1: to talk about it two games. I think we got

23
00:01:13,292 --> 00:01:18,172
Speaker 1: to start with my Chicago Bears okay, folks that I

24
00:01:18,292 --> 00:01:21,532
Speaker 1: said going into last week, Drew, this is the game

25
00:01:22,212 --> 00:01:24,932
Speaker 1: that that this is a big night for Caleb Williams

26
00:01:24,973 --> 00:01:28,013
Speaker 1: and he comes through, gets a field goal, they win

27
00:01:28,572 --> 00:01:32,693
Speaker 1: at the buzzer. Are you now, like, did Caleb make

28
00:01:32,732 --> 00:01:34,013
Speaker 1: the statement he needed to make?

29
00:01:34,212 --> 00:01:35,973
Speaker 3: I think you did. I said going into it. If

30
00:01:35,973 --> 00:01:38,533
Speaker 3: you can win that game, that's a big breakthrough primetime

31
00:01:38,613 --> 00:01:41,292
Speaker 3: win against a team that haunted you last year.

32
00:01:41,732 --> 00:01:43,213
Speaker 2: Was that three in a row? Now three in a

33
00:01:43,292 --> 00:01:45,613
Speaker 2: row just one week one? You should be four, be

34
00:01:45,693 --> 00:01:46,853
Speaker 2: four and one right now.

35
00:01:46,973 --> 00:01:49,252
Speaker 3: But it was a fun game to watch neutral observer

36
00:01:49,333 --> 00:01:52,213
Speaker 3: here of a just a nice dramatic finish. Commanders obviously

37
00:01:52,253 --> 00:01:54,493
Speaker 3: had it, let it slip and you get the big

38
00:01:54,493 --> 00:01:55,053
Speaker 3: field goal in.

39
00:01:55,013 --> 00:01:56,532
Speaker 2: The middle of the weather. So it was fucking out.

40
00:01:56,773 --> 00:01:57,813
Speaker 2: I know you were excited.

41
00:01:57,853 --> 00:02:01,933
Speaker 1: A northeaster hit towards the end of the game, which,

42
00:02:02,053 --> 00:02:04,373
Speaker 1: as I have learned in the last few days, just

43
00:02:04,453 --> 00:02:07,533
Speaker 1: means win from the northeast. Feels like it shouldn't get

44
00:02:07,573 --> 00:02:09,653
Speaker 1: its own name, but it does. But they kicked the

45
00:02:09,653 --> 00:02:12,573
Speaker 1: field goal. Jake Moody, who had been sent away by

46
00:02:12,613 --> 00:02:14,573
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, kicks it. I knew he was

47
00:02:14,613 --> 00:02:16,853
Speaker 1: excited because in the postgame interview he didn't even take

48
00:02:16,893 --> 00:02:17,532
Speaker 1: his helmet off.

49
00:02:18,693 --> 00:02:20,413
Speaker 3: That was one of my favorite parts of the whole night,

50
00:02:20,533 --> 00:02:22,653
Speaker 3: as you know, just yapping right through the face Max.

51
00:02:24,133 --> 00:02:25,653
Speaker 2: Did he not want to be seen? Has he never

52
00:02:25,693 --> 00:02:28,253
Speaker 2: been interviewed in the football game before? He was like,

53
00:02:28,893 --> 00:02:31,573
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, helmet on the entire time the mood.

54
00:02:31,613 --> 00:02:33,333
Speaker 3: He played hero at the end, but there was a

55
00:02:33,373 --> 00:02:35,813
Speaker 3: stretch there in the second half where DeAndre Swift was

56
00:02:35,853 --> 00:02:36,853
Speaker 3: going wherever he wanted to.

57
00:02:36,973 --> 00:02:38,053
Speaker 2: He was the real star of the night.

58
00:02:38,053 --> 00:02:40,333
Speaker 1: I used to have for the Bears or running back

59
00:02:40,413 --> 00:02:42,532
Speaker 1: like that, but I think this was huge for Caleb Williams.

60
00:02:42,813 --> 00:02:46,213
Speaker 1: We talked about that was where the Hail Mary was

61
00:02:46,293 --> 00:02:48,813
Speaker 1: last year. That kind of changed the fortunes of each

62
00:02:48,853 --> 00:02:54,133
Speaker 1: of those teams. Troy Aikman just was harsh on Caleb

63
00:02:54,133 --> 00:02:57,093
Speaker 1: all night. Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson both said they

64
00:02:57,093 --> 00:03:01,693
Speaker 1: went back and watched the game footage to see how

65
00:03:02,653 --> 00:03:06,093
Speaker 1: much Troy Aikman had criticized them, and they both were like,

66
00:03:07,053 --> 00:03:09,093
Speaker 1: what's up, Troy, What do you think you're doing? Did

67
00:03:09,133 --> 00:03:11,453
Speaker 1: you think as watching it, the Troy Agman was too

68
00:03:11,533 --> 00:03:13,133
Speaker 1: harsh on Caleb Williams throughout the game.

69
00:03:13,173 --> 00:03:14,733
Speaker 3: I noticed a couple of times because he's on the

70
00:03:14,813 --> 00:03:17,813
Speaker 3: road on Monday night football in his second year in

71
00:03:17,853 --> 00:03:19,693
Speaker 3: the Rain. I don't know what you're expecting of him.

72
00:03:20,053 --> 00:03:23,613
Speaker 3: I just saw today. Actually he's on pace for four

73
00:03:23,653 --> 00:03:26,653
Speaker 3: thousand and nine passing yards. The Bears have never had

74
00:03:26,693 --> 00:03:28,773
Speaker 3: anyone throw for four thousand yards, So I.

75
00:03:28,773 --> 00:03:30,733
Speaker 2: Don't know Troy. He's kind of on a decent pace

76
00:03:30,813 --> 00:03:33,173
Speaker 2: chase in history than Troy was so harsh to him.

77
00:03:33,173 --> 00:03:36,173
Speaker 1: I mean they showed some moment like he threw a

78
00:03:36,253 --> 00:03:39,853
Speaker 1: pass and it like, for those of you watching at home,

79
00:03:40,853 --> 00:03:43,133
Speaker 1: Troy the past with the receiver caught it right in

80
00:03:43,133 --> 00:03:45,333
Speaker 1: front of his face, but he dropped it, so he

81
00:03:45,453 --> 00:03:47,053
Speaker 1: like it hit right in front of his face, and

82
00:03:47,093 --> 00:03:49,613
Speaker 1: Troy was like, you can't throw it there. And in

83
00:03:49,653 --> 00:03:52,213
Speaker 1: my mind, I was like, that's exactly where you throw

84
00:03:52,253 --> 00:03:54,333
Speaker 1: it right here. He's like, can't throw it there. It

85
00:03:54,373 --> 00:03:57,213
Speaker 1: did feel like Troy. You think he Caleb beat him

86
00:03:57,213 --> 00:04:01,493
Speaker 1: at warcraft or something being grumpy. He didn't have a

87
00:04:01,493 --> 00:04:02,173
Speaker 1: turnover either.

88
00:04:02,213 --> 00:04:05,893
Speaker 2: Did He didn't blame Jayden Daniels when he fumbled, when

89
00:04:05,973 --> 00:04:09,653
Speaker 2: he was like, eh, it's raining. Things happened and he

90
00:04:09,693 --> 00:04:10,213
Speaker 2: had a pick.

91
00:04:10,253 --> 00:04:12,973
Speaker 3: Also, I think it was zero turnovers to two turnovers

92
00:04:12,973 --> 00:04:15,053
Speaker 3: in that second year QB battle.

93
00:04:15,053 --> 00:04:16,893
Speaker 1: Now do you think it's weird though, that Ben Johnson

94
00:04:16,892 --> 00:04:20,293
Speaker 1: and Caleb Williams got up the next morning to listen

95
00:04:20,933 --> 00:04:23,733
Speaker 1: to the commentary to see how many was to him?

96
00:04:23,892 --> 00:04:26,573
Speaker 3: Nah, they're both young, new in their positions. They have

97
00:04:26,613 --> 00:04:29,733
Speaker 3: their doubters, whatever fire you need. Somebody probably tipped them

98
00:04:29,733 --> 00:04:31,772
Speaker 3: off like, hey, they'd be a little harsh on the broadcast,

99
00:04:31,813 --> 00:04:32,693
Speaker 3: and you wo that.

100
00:04:32,972 --> 00:04:34,893
Speaker 1: But the story was that Ben Johnson said he came

101
00:04:34,933 --> 00:04:38,013
Speaker 1: down to get cereal the next morning and his kid

102
00:04:38,733 --> 00:04:42,652
Speaker 1: was listening to the Troy Aikman commentary.

103
00:04:42,733 --> 00:04:46,212
Speaker 2: That doesn't strike me is how old is this kid?

104
00:04:46,253 --> 00:04:48,533
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean the kid was two years old.

105
00:04:48,573 --> 00:04:52,532
Speaker 2: I need I need to see how they're disrespecting Caleb Like, so,

106
00:04:52,613 --> 00:04:54,573
Speaker 2: I didn't know if I bought that just to own up.

107
00:04:54,652 --> 00:04:56,293
Speaker 2: You wanted to see what he said? Yeah, well it

108
00:04:56,293 --> 00:04:57,133
Speaker 2: doesn't shock me.

109
00:04:57,212 --> 00:04:59,053
Speaker 3: It does shock me that his child was in there

110
00:04:59,053 --> 00:05:00,972
Speaker 3: playing with toys saying come listen to dad. But the

111
00:05:01,053 --> 00:05:02,893
Speaker 3: fact that he would take that personally, want to hear it.

112
00:05:03,173 --> 00:05:05,852
Speaker 3: I saw his postgame speech in the locker room after.

113
00:05:06,133 --> 00:05:08,573
Speaker 2: What is that about it. He's passionate. He is. Yeah,

114
00:05:08,613 --> 00:05:11,093
Speaker 2: he's yelling, don't blink. And it was about two and

115
00:05:11,133 --> 00:05:13,893
Speaker 2: a half minutes long. I mean, you've Ben Johnson, new

116
00:05:13,933 --> 00:05:16,573
Speaker 2: guy had to playbook and with the Lions forever, but

117
00:05:16,772 --> 00:05:19,133
Speaker 2: didn't know a lot about his personality. He set some passion.

118
00:05:19,212 --> 00:05:22,133
Speaker 2: We're getting more of these postgame locker room speeches like

119
00:05:22,173 --> 00:05:24,892
Speaker 2: I remember you used to you'd hear it, like once

120
00:05:24,933 --> 00:05:27,413
Speaker 2: a year, you'd hear how about them Cowboys?

121
00:05:27,493 --> 00:05:31,452
Speaker 1: And now every week we are seeing what the coaches saying.

122
00:05:31,693 --> 00:05:33,373
Speaker 2: Do you like it? Yeah? One more thing I just

123
00:05:33,373 --> 00:05:34,333
Speaker 2: thought of. It popped in my head.

124
00:05:34,373 --> 00:05:36,493
Speaker 3: I think they have like eleven takeaways in the last

125
00:05:36,532 --> 00:05:39,172
Speaker 3: three weeks, and he's like, don't let anybody.

126
00:05:38,693 --> 00:05:40,932
Speaker 2: Tell you takeaways are lucky. They're not lucky.

127
00:05:41,013 --> 00:05:42,972
Speaker 3: Let's go get more of them so you are fired

128
00:05:43,053 --> 00:05:44,212
Speaker 3: up on your turnovers too.

129
00:05:44,693 --> 00:05:46,253
Speaker 2: He likes it. They're a little lucky, but.

130
00:05:46,972 --> 00:05:48,253
Speaker 3: It is a little I don't want him to know.

131
00:05:48,332 --> 00:05:50,973
Speaker 3: I said that after hearing how he Sander Stumble.

132
00:05:50,613 --> 00:05:52,053
Speaker 2: At the end was lucky. But do you like these

133
00:05:52,053 --> 00:05:53,373
Speaker 2: speeches in the locker room? Yeah?

134
00:05:53,373 --> 00:05:56,212
Speaker 3: I like all the access we're getting now. Players miked

135
00:05:56,293 --> 00:05:57,293
Speaker 3: up and practice and.

136
00:05:57,133 --> 00:05:59,532
Speaker 1: And do you think the coaches are now knowing it's

137
00:05:59,532 --> 00:06:02,772
Speaker 1: going to be there, They're coming in feeling like they

138
00:06:02,853 --> 00:06:03,253
Speaker 1: have to.

139
00:06:04,493 --> 00:06:08,532
Speaker 3: They got to performatrix. Also, it's not lost on me

140
00:06:08,613 --> 00:06:11,013
Speaker 3: that they cut these up. What are we cutting out?

141
00:06:11,053 --> 00:06:12,573
Speaker 3: I want to hear that part I did too.

142
00:06:12,693 --> 00:06:14,892
Speaker 2: Well. We don't see the losing ones. Yeah, maybe some

143
00:06:14,972 --> 00:06:18,373
Speaker 2: language subsalted. I would like to have seen Mike McDaniels

144
00:06:18,452 --> 00:06:19,013
Speaker 2: last week.

145
00:06:19,092 --> 00:06:22,052
Speaker 1: I want We don't get to see the losing ones, unfortunately,

146
00:06:22,092 --> 00:06:25,573
Speaker 1: but as a Bears fan, I'm very excited. You know,

147
00:06:25,733 --> 00:06:29,053
Speaker 1: I've been a Bears fan my entire life. I started

148
00:06:29,053 --> 00:06:31,372
Speaker 1: as a little kid in nineteen eighty five, and since

149
00:06:31,412 --> 00:06:34,853
Speaker 1: then it just hasn't been good. This is the quarterback

150
00:06:34,933 --> 00:06:37,452
Speaker 1: we've been looking for since the punky QB know Nas

151
00:06:37,532 --> 00:06:41,092
Speaker 1: McMahon and I believe an him. I believed an him before, yes,

152
00:06:41,253 --> 00:06:44,693
Speaker 1: before Monday, But now I'm in. I'm not being delusional,

153
00:06:44,772 --> 00:06:45,013
Speaker 1: am I?

154
00:06:45,693 --> 00:06:45,892
Speaker 2: No?

155
00:06:45,933 --> 00:06:48,453
Speaker 3: And He's it's not just that it's him. He's got

156
00:06:48,452 --> 00:06:51,853
Speaker 3: a great young coach, offensive minded in Swift's got a

157
00:06:51,853 --> 00:06:53,493
Speaker 3: little age on him, but a lot of pieces around

158
00:06:53,532 --> 00:06:55,532
Speaker 3: here that you own that he's building chemistry with. You

159
00:06:55,532 --> 00:06:57,173
Speaker 3: can see it you can see it forming right now.

160
00:06:57,332 --> 00:07:00,732
Speaker 1: Yeah, your guy, uh, your guy. Sorry, Luthor Burden got

161
00:07:00,733 --> 00:07:03,053
Speaker 1: a big catch about to see awesome.

162
00:07:03,412 --> 00:07:05,893
Speaker 2: Yes, I know he's right. So that was one Monday game.

163
00:07:05,892 --> 00:07:08,732
Speaker 2: Their money game, which I didn't watch any of, was

164
00:07:08,772 --> 00:07:11,973
Speaker 2: the Bills and the Falcons, and the Falcons kind of

165
00:07:12,093 --> 00:07:14,172
Speaker 2: dominated that game from start to finish.

166
00:07:14,253 --> 00:07:17,693
Speaker 1: They were up early held the league. You know, Josh

167
00:07:17,773 --> 00:07:21,732
Speaker 1: Allen loses to Michael Pennox Junior. Are you working like

168
00:07:21,893 --> 00:07:25,653
Speaker 1: the Bills were? Are my Super Bowl pick? The Bills

169
00:07:25,853 --> 00:07:29,813
Speaker 1: and the Eagles both are have taken losses with to

170
00:07:29,853 --> 00:07:33,613
Speaker 1: have two losses. Surprisingly, they were the definitive favorites. Are

171
00:07:33,653 --> 00:07:34,612
Speaker 1: you worried about them?

172
00:07:34,973 --> 00:07:35,253
Speaker 2: I am.

173
00:07:35,373 --> 00:07:39,173
Speaker 3: I'm shocked they dropped that one having lost one before it.

174
00:07:39,933 --> 00:07:43,173
Speaker 3: Robinson for the Falcons was just unstoppable here. I think

175
00:07:43,213 --> 00:07:45,413
Speaker 3: he said, I think you said, a record for yards

176
00:07:45,413 --> 00:07:47,653
Speaker 3: from scrimmage in a single game. He also had a

177
00:07:47,733 --> 00:07:50,692
Speaker 3: nasty block on Ed Oliver. That's what we were talking

178
00:07:50,733 --> 00:07:53,292
Speaker 3: earlier in the our season here on cover zero about

179
00:07:53,293 --> 00:07:55,573
Speaker 3: how running backs can't win MVP. But he's putting up

180
00:07:55,573 --> 00:07:58,413
Speaker 3: an MVP like performance for this Taylor. Yeah, he was

181
00:07:58,413 --> 00:08:00,413
Speaker 3: the star of the game there, but a shocking result.

182
00:08:00,453 --> 00:08:01,933
Speaker 3: I didn't think there was any way the Bills would

183
00:08:01,933 --> 00:08:02,533
Speaker 3: lose that one.

184
00:08:03,053 --> 00:08:06,133
Speaker 1: I'm kind of shocked by the NFL as a whole,

185
00:08:06,453 --> 00:08:10,053
Speaker 1: and this game showcased it about how wide open things are.

186
00:08:10,373 --> 00:08:12,573
Speaker 1: I mean, it does not feel like there is any

187
00:08:12,613 --> 00:08:17,493
Speaker 1: team that is definitively even close to the favorite, right,

188
00:08:17,533 --> 00:08:19,653
Speaker 1: I mean when you have the Bills and Eagles losing

189
00:08:19,693 --> 00:08:22,213
Speaker 1: two straight weeks, and not just losing two straight weeks.

190
00:08:22,453 --> 00:08:25,093
Speaker 1: The Eagles lose to the Giants, the Bills loose to

191
00:08:25,133 --> 00:08:28,213
Speaker 1: the Falcons. If there was ever a year that a

192
00:08:28,373 --> 00:08:31,013
Speaker 1: random team could sneak up and win a title, isn't

193
00:08:31,053 --> 00:08:31,533
Speaker 1: this the one?

194
00:08:31,773 --> 00:08:33,493
Speaker 2: Definitely? It's kind of twofold.

195
00:08:33,573 --> 00:08:35,573
Speaker 3: Of the teams we thought were elite are losing, and

196
00:08:35,573 --> 00:08:38,333
Speaker 3: then some teams like the Colts are five and one,

197
00:08:38,773 --> 00:08:40,653
Speaker 3: and then the odds up there with the Super Bowl

198
00:08:40,733 --> 00:08:42,413
Speaker 3: favorites now, so a lot of this has just been.

199
00:08:42,293 --> 00:08:42,852
Speaker 2: Flipped on me.

200
00:08:42,973 --> 00:08:45,693
Speaker 1: Just look, if you were to say, Okay, when the

201
00:08:45,733 --> 00:08:48,573
Speaker 1: season started, most people believe there were maybe five teams

202
00:08:48,573 --> 00:08:51,333
Speaker 1: that could win a title, right, you would go, Bills, Ravens, Chiefs,

203
00:08:51,693 --> 00:08:55,693
Speaker 1: then maybe Eagles, Lions. Okay, Bills and Eagles, back to

204
00:08:55,733 --> 00:08:59,653
Speaker 1: back losses, but for both teams, Ravens are one to five.

205
00:09:00,773 --> 00:09:04,293
Speaker 1: The Lions were kind of not really competitive for much

206
00:09:04,293 --> 00:09:06,573
Speaker 1: of the game against the Chiefs, and the Chiefs their

207
00:09:06,573 --> 00:09:09,733
Speaker 1: first two games they've won three straight. It's I can't

208
00:09:09,773 --> 00:09:12,413
Speaker 1: remember a year ever that the favorites have struggled as

209
00:09:12,493 --> 00:09:13,453
Speaker 1: much as they have this year.

210
00:09:13,773 --> 00:09:16,173
Speaker 3: Well, think if we were just talking Ravens Colts before

211
00:09:16,253 --> 00:09:18,493
Speaker 3: the year and I said two teams, one will be

212
00:09:18,493 --> 00:09:19,973
Speaker 3: one in five, the other will be one will be

213
00:09:20,013 --> 00:09:21,693
Speaker 3: five and one, what would the odds be on the

214
00:09:21,733 --> 00:09:23,613
Speaker 3: Colts being the five and one? Like, no one would

215
00:09:23,613 --> 00:09:25,253
Speaker 3: even believe a scenario where that could happen.

216
00:09:25,253 --> 00:09:27,893
Speaker 1: And who would have believed that if you had the

217
00:09:28,373 --> 00:09:31,373
Speaker 1: playoffs right now, the one seeds would be Tampa Bay

218
00:09:31,413 --> 00:09:34,733
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis exactly. But that's what you have. I like it, though,

219
00:09:35,093 --> 00:09:37,573
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the NFL's dream. I mean I

220
00:09:37,613 --> 00:09:39,053
Speaker 1: know that because we work for the.

221
00:09:39,133 --> 00:09:40,973
Speaker 2: NFL, so like I talk to them all the time,

222
00:09:42,093 --> 00:09:43,973
Speaker 2: all the various people at the NFL.

223
00:09:43,893 --> 00:09:47,013
Speaker 1: Like, what's up, Bob, But this is what they want.

224
00:09:47,173 --> 00:09:49,533
Speaker 1: They want paired. They wanted to wear every team that's

225
00:09:49,573 --> 00:09:51,533
Speaker 1: not the Titans or the Jets. Feels like they can

226
00:09:51,573 --> 00:09:54,653
Speaker 1: win in a given week, and they have that right now.

227
00:09:54,893 --> 00:09:56,813
Speaker 3: I was watching Good Morning Football this morning and one

228
00:09:56,853 --> 00:09:59,173
Speaker 3: of the segments was redoing their power rankings.

229
00:09:59,533 --> 00:10:01,653
Speaker 2: You know, four or five panelists up there.

230
00:10:01,733 --> 00:10:04,453
Speaker 3: What made it interesting is like their rankings weren't even

231
00:10:04,453 --> 00:10:06,373
Speaker 3: close to each other. I mean there were teams that

232
00:10:06,373 --> 00:10:08,653
Speaker 3: were in some top fives that probably weren't another top ten.

233
00:10:08,733 --> 00:10:09,893
Speaker 2: So who would be your top five?

234
00:10:09,933 --> 00:10:12,053
Speaker 3: I think somebody had the Seahawks in their top five,

235
00:10:12,133 --> 00:10:14,293
Speaker 3: which is crazy, but it just shows how the parody

236
00:10:14,253 --> 00:10:14,613
Speaker 3: of your mention.

237
00:10:14,693 --> 00:10:16,773
Speaker 2: Well, let's just do our top five? Okay, who would be?

238
00:10:17,173 --> 00:10:19,493
Speaker 2: Who would be your top five? Right now? I can't

239
00:10:19,533 --> 00:10:21,333
Speaker 2: believe I'm doing this here, I'll do it since I'll

240
00:10:21,333 --> 00:10:22,333
Speaker 2: put you on the spot.

241
00:10:22,573 --> 00:10:24,053
Speaker 3: Let me give you my one because I'm ready. I

242
00:10:24,133 --> 00:10:26,733
Speaker 3: can't believe, but I'm putting the Chiefs back. We gotta

243
00:10:26,813 --> 00:10:28,933
Speaker 3: quit running from it. The Chiefs are still the Chiefs.

244
00:10:29,093 --> 00:10:31,373
Speaker 3: They get Rashi Rice back this week. We saw what

245
00:10:31,413 --> 00:10:34,373
Speaker 3: happened when they got Worthy back. They're back to my one.

246
00:10:35,453 --> 00:10:36,893
Speaker 2: I actually really liked that pick.

247
00:10:37,213 --> 00:10:40,453
Speaker 1: I think for me today, if you said the game

248
00:10:40,573 --> 00:10:42,733
Speaker 1: was gonna be tomorrow, who would you take. I'm putting

249
00:10:42,733 --> 00:10:45,813
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, So I was gonna go Chiefs one, and

250
00:10:45,853 --> 00:10:49,773
Speaker 1: then I was gonna go Bucks two. For me, I'm

251
00:10:49,773 --> 00:10:53,213
Speaker 1: gonna go Lions three because they lost at the Chiefs

252
00:10:53,213 --> 00:10:57,613
Speaker 1: but otherwise had looked really good. Maybe I'm silly, but

253
00:10:57,733 --> 00:11:01,293
Speaker 1: I'm then still gonna go Eagles four, Bills five. I

254
00:11:01,333 --> 00:11:03,493
Speaker 1: know though, that I'm leaving out the Colts, and I'm

255
00:11:03,573 --> 00:11:06,773
Speaker 1: leaving out the Packers and other teams, but I'm gonna go.

256
00:11:06,853 --> 00:11:10,493
Speaker 1: So I will go Chiefs, Bucks, Lions, Eagles, Bills. But

257
00:11:10,573 --> 00:11:12,253
Speaker 1: I don't feel great about any of those.

258
00:11:12,293 --> 00:11:12,933
Speaker 2: What are yours?

259
00:11:13,093 --> 00:11:15,573
Speaker 3: And Chiefs won I agree with you on I'm torn

260
00:11:15,613 --> 00:11:18,333
Speaker 3: between Bucks and Lions two three, and that's our Monday

261
00:11:18,373 --> 00:11:19,493
Speaker 3: night football game this week.

262
00:11:19,533 --> 00:11:21,853
Speaker 2: So that will look at you. That will answer, and

263
00:11:21,893 --> 00:11:25,293
Speaker 2: that will answer itself here in a few days. I

264
00:11:25,373 --> 00:11:27,933
Speaker 2: think it four. You're not gonna take the Eagles. I'm

265
00:11:27,933 --> 00:11:32,613
Speaker 2: going Colts. Colts, They've been tested, they keep answering. When

266
00:11:32,653 --> 00:11:36,013
Speaker 2: they play a bad team, they pummel them. I had Colts.

267
00:11:35,733 --> 00:11:38,013
Speaker 3: Ranked dead last beginning of the year. It wasn't me

268
00:11:38,093 --> 00:11:39,973
Speaker 3: being a hater. I really thought the Colts were going

269
00:11:40,053 --> 00:11:41,933
Speaker 3: to be terrible. With Daniel Jones, who didn't think they'd

270
00:11:41,973 --> 00:11:44,333
Speaker 3: be terrible. I gotta give them credit because when they

271
00:11:44,333 --> 00:11:46,613
Speaker 3: play a bad team, they destroy them. They could be

272
00:11:46,693 --> 00:11:48,893
Speaker 3: undefeated right now if you don't have that fumble at

273
00:11:48,933 --> 00:11:50,453
Speaker 3: the go line. So I have to put them there

274
00:11:50,493 --> 00:11:54,453
Speaker 3: and then I'll go bills. But I'm leaning I'm limping

275
00:11:54,493 --> 00:11:57,693
Speaker 3: in to putting your tough no, just nuts.

276
00:11:57,813 --> 00:12:00,493
Speaker 1: It is interesting, though, that's a hard list because you're right,

277
00:12:00,533 --> 00:12:04,093
Speaker 1: you're leaving out the Seahawks. I left out the Colts.

278
00:12:05,333 --> 00:12:08,173
Speaker 1: Then you throw in the Packers, although they've taken a

279
00:12:08,173 --> 00:12:10,613
Speaker 1: couple losses. It is a I can't remember a year

280
00:12:10,653 --> 00:12:26,373
Speaker 1: that this has been harder. All right, let's go over

281
00:12:26,773 --> 00:12:29,013
Speaker 1: some other things here. We mentioned the Chiefs and the Lions.

282
00:12:29,413 --> 00:12:32,213
Speaker 1: We taped our podcast the other night and did not

283
00:12:33,333 --> 00:12:35,533
Speaker 1: get into the fight. What do you think of the

284
00:12:35,533 --> 00:12:37,732
Speaker 1: fight after the end of the game, Branch is suspended

285
00:12:37,773 --> 00:12:38,333
Speaker 1: for one game.

286
00:12:38,373 --> 00:12:41,693
Speaker 2: Did you feel like that was fair? Yeah? Crazy fight. Really.

287
00:12:41,693 --> 00:12:43,773
Speaker 3: The craziest thing is that photo that came out of it,

288
00:12:43,893 --> 00:12:47,533
Speaker 3: where Juju's helmet is off and Branch his fists is

289
00:12:47,573 --> 00:12:49,733
Speaker 3: just a few inches from locking on that nose that

290
00:12:49,773 --> 00:12:51,933
Speaker 3: I guess got busted open. But you know a lot

291
00:12:51,933 --> 00:12:54,373
Speaker 3: of times you see guys pull on helmets in the wrestling,

292
00:12:54,453 --> 00:12:56,613
Speaker 3: it's rare you get a fight to that extent where

293
00:12:56,613 --> 00:12:58,253
Speaker 3: he actually had a fist to face.

294
00:12:58,733 --> 00:13:02,653
Speaker 2: Why was he mad? It looked like Mahomes just tried

295
00:13:02,693 --> 00:13:05,893
Speaker 2: to shake his hand and then he didn't want to

296
00:13:05,893 --> 00:13:06,453
Speaker 2: show it.

297
00:13:06,533 --> 00:13:10,053
Speaker 1: And then Juju's like, I think, sir, that you should

298
00:13:10,093 --> 00:13:13,293
Speaker 1: have accepted the congratulatory Like, why do.

299
00:13:13,253 --> 00:13:14,053
Speaker 2: You think he was so mad?

300
00:13:14,173 --> 00:13:16,533
Speaker 3: There was a block early in the game where Juju

301
00:13:16,813 --> 00:13:19,653
Speaker 3: it's not that in the back or illegal, but he

302
00:13:19,653 --> 00:13:21,373
Speaker 3: did get him a good pop when he wasn't you

303
00:13:21,373 --> 00:13:23,173
Speaker 3: don't think Mahomes had anything to do.

304
00:13:23,093 --> 00:13:23,733
Speaker 2: And I don't think so.

305
00:13:24,053 --> 00:13:26,733
Speaker 3: Juju even said in the post game that I could

306
00:13:26,773 --> 00:13:29,133
Speaker 3: fill throughout the game brand from ad about the block.

307
00:13:29,373 --> 00:13:31,653
Speaker 3: He was getting a little shitty, Yeah, he said, I

308
00:13:31,693 --> 00:13:33,693
Speaker 3: want to keep it between the whistles and the and

309
00:13:33,773 --> 00:13:35,853
Speaker 3: the horn. I didn't think he think was gonna blow

310
00:13:35,853 --> 00:13:37,813
Speaker 3: over like it did, but it seems to stim with

311
00:13:38,133 --> 00:13:39,333
Speaker 3: Juju hit him pretty good.

312
00:13:39,493 --> 00:13:41,693
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell seemed pretty mad about it. He said, we

313
00:13:41,733 --> 00:13:45,333
Speaker 1: don't do that. That's noth I like Dan Campbell's standing

314
00:13:45,413 --> 00:13:49,413
Speaker 1: up and saying that, But I don't know, I feel

315
00:13:49,453 --> 00:13:50,133
Speaker 1: like punched to.

316
00:13:50,133 --> 00:13:52,053
Speaker 2: The face he's on the ground.

317
00:13:52,413 --> 00:13:55,893
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I don't know. I might have gone two games. Yeah,

318
00:13:55,973 --> 00:13:58,733
Speaker 3: and it being I guess it shouldn't matter the scene.

319
00:13:58,813 --> 00:14:01,973
Speaker 3: But you're on the big stage playing the Chiefs. You

320
00:14:02,093 --> 00:14:04,093
Speaker 3: represent the NFL right there with all the as on.

321
00:14:04,213 --> 00:14:05,173
Speaker 2: No, I mean that matters.

322
00:14:05,333 --> 00:14:09,533
Speaker 1: I often think the suspensions for these things, it's inherent.

323
00:14:09,653 --> 00:14:12,493
Speaker 1: It'll be worse if everyone's watching, you know, it just

324
00:14:12,573 --> 00:14:15,093
Speaker 1: it's just it's just natural, like when everyone's watching that

325
00:14:15,173 --> 00:14:17,133
Speaker 1: when two on that one Thursday night game when he

326
00:14:17,173 --> 00:14:19,613
Speaker 1: got hurt and we were all sitting there watching. I

327
00:14:19,613 --> 00:14:22,253
Speaker 1: think the DeMar Hamlin thing was on Monday night football.

328
00:14:22,453 --> 00:14:24,733
Speaker 1: I think it's just natural. People tend to gravitate it

329
00:14:24,813 --> 00:14:26,973
Speaker 1: more if the whole country is watching that moment.

330
00:14:27,373 --> 00:14:30,973
Speaker 3: Yeah, like if the you know, Titans were playing the Jets.

331
00:14:31,093 --> 00:14:33,333
Speaker 3: She brought that up earlier and this happens probably yeah.

332
00:14:33,213 --> 00:14:35,453
Speaker 2: No, No, one's not even a word. Yeah, I know

333
00:14:35,813 --> 00:14:37,773
Speaker 2: other people in the stadium are not watching it at

334
00:14:37,853 --> 00:14:39,053
Speaker 2: that point. Being the Chiefs in.

335
00:14:39,013 --> 00:14:41,613
Speaker 3: That moment, Mahomes being the one that doesn't shake his hand,

336
00:14:41,653 --> 00:14:42,333
Speaker 3: there's a lot to it.

337
00:14:42,533 --> 00:14:44,653
Speaker 1: So you're you're like me, now we both have the

338
00:14:44,693 --> 00:14:49,333
Speaker 1: Chiefs at number one. They're back yep, right this week,

339
00:14:49,773 --> 00:14:50,613
Speaker 1: like they're back.

340
00:14:50,453 --> 00:14:52,373
Speaker 3: And they've already said like, we're not going to ease

341
00:14:52,413 --> 00:14:54,333
Speaker 3: him in. He's a big part of our workloads, so

342
00:14:54,373 --> 00:14:55,373
Speaker 3: they're going right to him.

343
00:14:55,413 --> 00:15:01,093
Speaker 1: And Travis Kelcey looks like Travis Kelcey again, Xavier Worthy doesn't.

344
00:15:01,133 --> 00:15:03,533
Speaker 2: I mean they're three and two. They should be four

345
00:15:03,533 --> 00:15:05,653
Speaker 2: and one, right, they could be five and zero.

346
00:15:05,813 --> 00:15:07,333
Speaker 1: I mean they could have won that game against the

347
00:15:07,413 --> 00:15:09,853
Speaker 1: Chargers down in Brazil.

348
00:15:09,973 --> 00:15:13,613
Speaker 2: I mean they are. I think they're they're back again.

349
00:15:13,693 --> 00:15:16,413
Speaker 3: Well once we what we've seen Worthy since he's been back,

350
00:15:16,453 --> 00:15:17,933
Speaker 3: I think if Kelsey doesn't.

351
00:15:17,773 --> 00:15:19,773
Speaker 2: Run into him, and it really could be undefeated. He's

352
00:15:19,813 --> 00:15:20,813
Speaker 2: a big part of what they do.

353
00:15:21,173 --> 00:15:23,653
Speaker 3: And even though Rice only played like four games last year,

354
00:15:23,693 --> 00:15:25,533
Speaker 3: he had good stats last year, so they have high

355
00:15:25,533 --> 00:15:26,093
Speaker 3: hopes for him.

356
00:15:26,173 --> 00:15:28,733
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, I give you the floor again. You're

357
00:15:28,773 --> 00:15:32,613
Speaker 1: Titans fired, Brian Callahan. I know that that was something

358
00:15:32,653 --> 00:15:35,333
Speaker 1: you thought should happen. Were you happy?

359
00:15:35,693 --> 00:15:37,453
Speaker 2: No, they managed to even mess this up.

360
00:15:37,973 --> 00:15:40,893
Speaker 3: I wanted to watch Vrabel beat him by fifty on Sunday,

361
00:15:41,213 --> 00:15:44,493
Speaker 3: but these cowards wouldn't even let Vrabel bend him over

362
00:15:44,533 --> 00:15:47,093
Speaker 3: and spank him in Nashville and stuff him in a locker.

363
00:15:47,373 --> 00:15:51,293
Speaker 2: We all know one more embarrass wanted Vrabel.

364
00:15:51,693 --> 00:15:54,733
Speaker 3: We already know that letting Rabel go was a dumb

365
00:15:54,773 --> 00:15:58,293
Speaker 3: move and Callahan wasn't the right move. It's not like,

366
00:15:58,573 --> 00:16:01,173
Speaker 3: you know, can they compete? But I just wanted to

367
00:16:01,213 --> 00:16:03,093
Speaker 3: see it. I wanted able to have his moment. He

368
00:16:03,173 --> 00:16:05,973
Speaker 3: never should have been fired. Rabel's played it nice in

369
00:16:05,973 --> 00:16:08,173
Speaker 3: them all week. He said nothing but good things. I

370
00:16:08,213 --> 00:16:10,253
Speaker 3: can't wait to get to Nashville. But I know between

371
00:16:10,293 --> 00:16:12,733
Speaker 3: his ears he's thinking, I want to pummel them, And

372
00:16:12,813 --> 00:16:14,413
Speaker 3: I wanted Callahan to have to sit.

373
00:16:14,293 --> 00:16:16,853
Speaker 2: There and take it. Other than that, though this needed

374
00:16:16,853 --> 00:16:21,453
Speaker 2: to happen, it was not it, And who did was it? Riley?

375
00:16:21,573 --> 00:16:23,773
Speaker 2: Is that who they picked to be them?

376
00:16:24,293 --> 00:16:27,973
Speaker 3: McCoy McCoy who was hired as an analyst earlier this year.

377
00:16:28,093 --> 00:16:32,853
Speaker 2: I always get Mike Riley and Mike McCoy confused. First

378
00:16:32,853 --> 00:16:34,813
Speaker 2: of all, is there a person named Mike Riley? How

379
00:16:34,813 --> 00:16:37,253
Speaker 2: do I know that name? I don't know who that is.

380
00:16:37,493 --> 00:16:39,133
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, hang on, just a second.

381
00:16:39,573 --> 00:16:42,813
Speaker 1: Mike Riley was just called up by Mike Carolina Hurricanes

382
00:16:42,893 --> 00:16:45,933
Speaker 1: last night and he had an assist against the Sharks.

383
00:16:45,733 --> 00:16:50,173
Speaker 2: He's Mike McCoy. Oh, you think he's better than he

384
00:16:50,293 --> 00:16:52,213
Speaker 2: could coach, better than Brian Callahowe.

385
00:16:52,493 --> 00:16:57,853
Speaker 1: So wait, mat, you're saying the backup third string defenseman

386
00:16:58,093 --> 00:17:02,053
Speaker 1: from the Carolina Hurricanes last night, veteran Mike Riley is

387
00:17:02,093 --> 00:17:03,293
Speaker 1: better than Brian Kellay.

388
00:17:04,013 --> 00:17:09,612
Speaker 3: Brian Callahan was four and nineteen against the spread. Wow,

389
00:17:09,733 --> 00:17:12,013
Speaker 3: and they were mostly underdogs.

390
00:17:11,373 --> 00:17:14,693
Speaker 2: Like, you couldn't even get close nineteen against the spread. Yes,

391
00:17:15,093 --> 00:17:16,332
Speaker 2: they just lost to the Raiders.

392
00:17:16,333 --> 00:17:18,973
Speaker 3: An anonymous Raiders coach said, that is the worst football

393
00:17:19,013 --> 00:17:21,213
Speaker 3: team I've seen in twenty five years. There have been

394
00:17:21,213 --> 00:17:23,293
Speaker 3: teams that have not won games. There have been teams

395
00:17:23,333 --> 00:17:23,893
Speaker 3: that can't tire.

396
00:17:23,933 --> 00:17:26,453
Speaker 2: Shoot. There was an anonymous Raiders coach that says that

397
00:17:26,573 --> 00:17:28,453
Speaker 2: he said he say it to is this the sources

398
00:17:28,733 --> 00:17:31,493
Speaker 2: tell covers it. He was like a CBS story, Okay,

399
00:17:31,733 --> 00:17:34,253
Speaker 2: but said they do not have a single player on

400
00:17:34,293 --> 00:17:36,933
Speaker 2: their roster that makes a difference except for Jeffrey Simmons,

401
00:17:36,973 --> 00:17:39,853
Speaker 2: our big defensive lineman. Worst team in twenty five years

402
00:17:39,893 --> 00:17:43,773
Speaker 2: he's ever seen. But you won a game. It took

403
00:17:44,133 --> 00:17:45,333
Speaker 2: none doubles in them.

404
00:17:45,333 --> 00:17:47,093
Speaker 1: Tripping over this, I mean, I would argue that makes

405
00:17:47,133 --> 00:17:49,853
Speaker 1: the Jets worse if if they if they haven't won

406
00:17:49,893 --> 00:17:50,173
Speaker 1: a game.

407
00:17:50,373 --> 00:17:53,133
Speaker 2: So do you believe in Mike McCoy Well, I had

408
00:17:53,173 --> 00:17:56,812
Speaker 2: to google him. Former Chargers coach the Charge Yah and

409
00:17:56,813 --> 00:17:58,893
Speaker 2: played for Carolina Hurricanes. Yeah.

410
00:17:58,973 --> 00:18:00,653
Speaker 3: I think he's been in the league like twenty seven

411
00:18:00,733 --> 00:18:04,013
Speaker 3: years as a journeyman coordinator. We hired him in March

412
00:18:04,133 --> 00:18:05,213
Speaker 3: just to be like, hey, are you come in here

413
00:18:05,213 --> 00:18:06,653
Speaker 3: and look at some of this tape and even have

414
00:18:06,693 --> 00:18:09,373
Speaker 3: a real coaching position, And now he's coaching the team.

415
00:18:09,413 --> 00:18:11,933
Speaker 3: I mean whatever, anything's better than Brian Callahan. I was

416
00:18:12,013 --> 00:18:14,773
Speaker 3: really ready to go to just let the players coach themselves.

417
00:18:14,853 --> 00:18:18,052
Speaker 1: He was that bat are you would you now like

418
00:18:18,093 --> 00:18:19,813
Speaker 1: to see them lose every game and get the number

419
00:18:19,853 --> 00:18:21,453
Speaker 1: one pick? Or do you feel like we have our

420
00:18:21,533 --> 00:18:23,853
Speaker 1: quarterback so he might as well have the number two pick.

421
00:18:24,413 --> 00:18:26,973
Speaker 3: I wanted them to lose to Arizona. We've already messed

422
00:18:27,053 --> 00:18:30,173
Speaker 3: up tanking. We fired Callahan right before we wanted to

423
00:18:30,173 --> 00:18:33,773
Speaker 3: see him get his boat whooped on Sunday. Let this Sunday,

424
00:18:33,893 --> 00:18:36,013
Speaker 3: Rabel is going to get that. Whole stadium is going

425
00:18:36,093 --> 00:18:39,013
Speaker 3: to cheer the opposing team. That'll get ready to watch.

426
00:18:39,293 --> 00:18:42,733
Speaker 3: That'll happen. Absolutely, Titans fans love Rabel. He's going to

427
00:18:42,813 --> 00:18:47,213
Speaker 3: get a large applause. And if it had been Callahan

428
00:18:47,253 --> 00:18:48,693
Speaker 3: and said we were gotting the booze, I don't know

429
00:18:48,693 --> 00:18:50,453
Speaker 3: if they'll boo Mike McCoy.

430
00:18:50,493 --> 00:18:53,893
Speaker 2: Interesting. The timing on this just adds to it, all Right.

431
00:18:53,893 --> 00:18:58,013
Speaker 1: So, Billy, you were telling me that the NFL the

432
00:18:58,093 --> 00:19:02,213
Speaker 1: viewership numbers, right, So we're through six weeks of the season,

433
00:19:02,253 --> 00:19:05,013
Speaker 1: basically through a third of the season. The viewership numbers

434
00:19:05,013 --> 00:19:07,213
Speaker 1: to the NFL are like crazy, right.

435
00:19:07,133 --> 00:19:10,493
Speaker 4: Highest viewership at this point of the season in fifteen years.

436
00:19:10,653 --> 00:19:14,013
Speaker 4: NFL games are drawing on average eighteen point five million

437
00:19:14,093 --> 00:19:16,612
Speaker 4: viewers per game, and the Bucks forty nine ers game

438
00:19:16,693 --> 00:19:19,292
Speaker 4: last week was the highest. It averaged twenty seven million

439
00:19:19,333 --> 00:19:20,413
Speaker 4: viewers on CBS.

440
00:19:21,413 --> 00:19:24,373
Speaker 2: Twenty seven million viewer during that Bucks forty viewers game. Wow.

441
00:19:24,733 --> 00:19:27,853
Speaker 1: So they've changed the way they do these writings. Now

442
00:19:27,933 --> 00:19:29,773
Speaker 1: they it's something called big data.

443
00:19:32,053 --> 00:19:35,013
Speaker 2: What are you laughing at? I'm not a conspiracy there.

444
00:19:35,373 --> 00:19:37,653
Speaker 2: Big data. It's not like it's not like big pharma.

445
00:19:38,013 --> 00:19:38,853
Speaker 2: It's big data.

446
00:19:39,333 --> 00:19:43,813
Speaker 1: And I think the reason they're now including sports bars

447
00:19:44,653 --> 00:19:47,533
Speaker 1: and they're including they're trying to include like every way

448
00:19:47,613 --> 00:19:50,973
Speaker 1: people watch it. So all the numbers in a lot

449
00:19:50,973 --> 00:19:53,253
Speaker 1: of sports are bumped up a little bit because of

450
00:19:53,573 --> 00:19:58,332
Speaker 1: what they call big data. But still it's kind of

451
00:19:58,413 --> 00:20:04,653
Speaker 1: amazing how much bigger the NFL is than everything else, right, Like,

452
00:20:04,693 --> 00:20:07,813
Speaker 1: it's I mean, when you talk about one seven million

453
00:20:07,893 --> 00:20:11,893
Speaker 1: people watching a game, that is crazy. I mean, there's

454
00:20:11,933 --> 00:20:16,413
Speaker 1: what eight thousand watching these playoff baseball games. It's kind

455
00:20:16,413 --> 00:20:17,333
Speaker 1: of unbelievable.

456
00:20:17,933 --> 00:20:21,253
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, they're they're picking whatever day they want

457
00:20:21,293 --> 00:20:25,253
Speaker 3: and they're dominating the viewership whatever network they're on. Netflix.

458
00:20:25,293 --> 00:20:27,893
Speaker 3: Now they're going to other countries. It was London, now

459
00:20:27,893 --> 00:20:30,693
Speaker 3: it's Mexico City, Ireland. They'll sell out anywhere.

460
00:20:30,253 --> 00:20:32,373
Speaker 2: They want to go. Madrid, yeah next week.

461
00:20:32,733 --> 00:20:35,653
Speaker 3: It really is the way they've separated themselves in the

462
00:20:35,733 --> 00:20:37,493
Speaker 3: last couple decades from the other leagues.

463
00:20:37,493 --> 00:20:38,733
Speaker 2: They're winning across the board.

464
00:20:38,813 --> 00:20:40,812
Speaker 1: It also doesn't feel like and I know we're going

465
00:20:40,893 --> 00:20:43,973
Speaker 1: to sound like company shills here, but it also doesn't

466
00:20:44,053 --> 00:20:44,733
Speaker 1: feel like that.

467
00:20:44,853 --> 00:20:48,173
Speaker 2: It's like people don't think there's too much of it.

468
00:20:48,653 --> 00:20:51,973
Speaker 1: You don't hear anyone, Yeah, you don't hear anybody saying well,

469
00:20:52,013 --> 00:20:55,532
Speaker 1: because like I like hockey, there's too many games I

470
00:20:55,653 --> 00:20:59,573
Speaker 1: like basketball, there's too many games. I like baseball, there's

471
00:20:59,613 --> 00:21:02,373
Speaker 1: too many games. But nobody thinks that about the NFL.

472
00:21:02,493 --> 00:21:04,733
Speaker 2: Right, No, I want more of it.

473
00:21:04,813 --> 00:21:06,532
Speaker 3: And you know, if you're attached to team, you're never

474
00:21:06,613 --> 00:21:08,773
Speaker 3: gonna once a week is all you're gonna get, So

475
00:21:08,773 --> 00:21:11,853
Speaker 3: you're not gonna get overloaded of your own team. It's

476
00:21:11,893 --> 00:21:15,653
Speaker 3: to the point other leagues are changing their schedules because

477
00:21:15,653 --> 00:21:17,413
Speaker 3: they know if the NFL puts a day a game

478
00:21:17,453 --> 00:21:19,613
Speaker 3: on their day, it's over. NFL is getting attention.

479
00:21:19,373 --> 00:21:20,973
Speaker 2: Yes, no, they are. They are changing.

480
00:21:20,973 --> 00:21:23,853
Speaker 1: I mean they the NHL debuted their season at five

481
00:21:23,853 --> 00:21:27,293
Speaker 1: o'clock in the afternoon one day so that they wouldn't

482
00:21:27,333 --> 00:21:30,253
Speaker 1: have to uh, so they wouldn't have to go against

483
00:21:30,293 --> 00:21:30,773
Speaker 1: the NFL.

484
00:21:30,813 --> 00:21:31,933
Speaker 2: Those numbers are nuts.

485
00:21:32,773 --> 00:21:35,893
Speaker 1: My question for you, though, is do you like including

486
00:21:36,013 --> 00:21:40,573
Speaker 1: the sports bars in the data? Do you like big data?

487
00:21:40,693 --> 00:21:42,573
Speaker 2: I guess it should. A big data is a wrestler

488
00:21:42,693 --> 00:21:46,373
Speaker 2: that's really good on the minor circuit. Okay, data, you

489
00:21:46,453 --> 00:21:49,453
Speaker 2: gotta watch out here comes big data. Big data cool? Uh.

490
00:21:49,573 --> 00:21:52,213
Speaker 3: Yeah, it needs to be factored in somehow because I've

491
00:21:52,253 --> 00:21:53,973
Speaker 3: wondered when they're talking about ratings and you're at a

492
00:21:53,973 --> 00:21:54,893
Speaker 3: sports bar, there's.

493
00:21:54,773 --> 00:21:56,613
Speaker 2: Hundreds of people in there. Do you count them? And

494
00:21:56,733 --> 00:21:57,693
Speaker 2: needs to be factored in.

495
00:21:57,853 --> 00:22:01,133
Speaker 3: They're they're probably they're more excited about what's going on

496
00:22:01,173 --> 00:22:02,893
Speaker 3: in a lot of cases than the people watching at home.

497
00:22:03,053 --> 00:22:07,013
Speaker 1: Yeah, one of the teams you mentioned that got such

498
00:22:07,053 --> 00:22:08,332
Speaker 1: great ratings was the Bucks.

499
00:22:08,573 --> 00:22:10,373
Speaker 2: Yes, I love this story. So, first of all, for

500
00:22:10,413 --> 00:22:13,493
Speaker 2: Bill people who don't know Billy is a Bucks fan.

501
00:22:14,493 --> 00:22:18,813
Speaker 2: The Bucks were had their game last week and Teses Johnson,

502
00:22:18,813 --> 00:22:21,853
Speaker 2: who's a rookie, caught a touchdown pass and when the

503
00:22:21,893 --> 00:22:24,653
Speaker 2: game was over, he said in the locker room that

504
00:22:24,853 --> 00:22:29,333
Speaker 2: Tampa fans were chanting MVP during the game, and Tess

505
00:22:29,453 --> 00:22:33,333
Speaker 2: Johnson said he thought they were chanting for him as

506
00:22:33,413 --> 00:22:35,613
Speaker 2: the MVP, and he was very happy, and then he

507
00:22:35,693 --> 00:22:38,973
Speaker 2: realized it was for Baker Mayfield. This was great. He's

508
00:22:39,013 --> 00:22:40,533
Speaker 2: a rookie. What do you make of that?

509
00:22:40,813 --> 00:22:44,813
Speaker 1: He genuinely thought the crowd after his first touchdown pass

510
00:22:44,893 --> 00:22:48,573
Speaker 1: of his career, thought he was the MVP of the league.

511
00:22:48,613 --> 00:22:51,253
Speaker 3: Do you like that level of confidence? Yes, this is

512
00:22:51,293 --> 00:22:52,773
Speaker 3: one of those we're talking about. Were getting the mics

513
00:22:52,813 --> 00:22:54,493
Speaker 3: up now. There's a clip of him sitting on the

514
00:22:54,533 --> 00:22:57,853
Speaker 3: bench with Sterling Shepherd and He's just so confused while

515
00:22:57,853 --> 00:22:58,613
Speaker 3: they're shanting MVP.

516
00:22:58,813 --> 00:23:01,453
Speaker 2: He's like, but I haven't even done anything yet. I'm

517
00:23:01,453 --> 00:23:02,173
Speaker 2: a rookie.

518
00:23:02,573 --> 00:23:05,013
Speaker 3: And then Sterling Shepherd's like, wait a minute, you think

519
00:23:05,053 --> 00:23:07,053
Speaker 3: this is for you? And then he runs and tells

520
00:23:07,093 --> 00:23:09,973
Speaker 3: the other receivers. But it's hilarious, like it was a

521
00:23:09,973 --> 00:23:12,413
Speaker 3: great touchdown. He's like a forty five yard touchdown pass,

522
00:23:12,453 --> 00:23:13,572
Speaker 3: but that is pretty much.

523
00:23:13,413 --> 00:23:15,613
Speaker 4: All he's done this season. And he's like, wow, they're

524
00:23:15,693 --> 00:23:18,612
Speaker 4: cheering for me. It's very genuine. He definitely thought it

525
00:23:18,653 --> 00:23:19,733
Speaker 4: was him that they were chanting for.

526
00:23:20,453 --> 00:23:24,973
Speaker 1: That's sweet, But wouldn't you love him? Wouldn't you like

527
00:23:25,133 --> 00:23:29,613
Speaker 1: to live your life with a level of delusion where

528
00:23:29,653 --> 00:23:34,493
Speaker 1: you would believe after one touchdown everyone's chanting for you

529
00:23:34,533 --> 00:23:36,493
Speaker 1: for MVP, Like there's got.

530
00:23:36,253 --> 00:23:37,613
Speaker 2: To be some you know.

531
00:23:37,653 --> 00:23:40,653
Speaker 1: The people say, like you're the center of your own story.

532
00:23:41,253 --> 00:23:43,532
Speaker 1: That is the definition of being the center of your

533
00:23:43,533 --> 00:23:46,013
Speaker 1: own story, where you're like, well, everyone's chanting it has

534
00:23:46,093 --> 00:23:47,853
Speaker 1: to be for me. Who else could it be?

535
00:23:48,213 --> 00:23:50,973
Speaker 3: Seventh round pick rookie, He has six catches this season,

536
00:23:51,013 --> 00:23:53,213
Speaker 3: and he thinks the stadium is chanting MVP.

537
00:23:53,453 --> 00:23:55,572
Speaker 2: So well, the others I can get for ten Johns

538
00:23:55,613 --> 00:23:58,493
Speaker 2: an MVP right now. Let Ts have his moment, let

539
00:23:58,533 --> 00:23:59,092
Speaker 2: him dream.

540
00:23:59,253 --> 00:24:02,893
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it was Baker Mayfield. I've been saying for

541
00:24:02,933 --> 00:24:06,653
Speaker 1: three weeks on this show. Baker Mayfield is the MVP.

542
00:24:06,893 --> 00:24:10,653
Speaker 1: He is now the second choice in the betting market

543
00:24:10,693 --> 00:24:14,253
Speaker 1: behind Mahomes. It's Mahomes and then Mayfield. Now I'm the

544
00:24:14,253 --> 00:24:17,013
Speaker 1: biggest Mahomes guy in the world, but I would pick

545
00:24:17,053 --> 00:24:19,092
Speaker 1: Mayfield over Mahomes right now, wouldn't you?

546
00:24:19,533 --> 00:24:20,133
Speaker 2: I would too.

547
00:24:20,413 --> 00:24:23,973
Speaker 3: Got one interception, like twelve or thirteen touchdowns, You've got

548
00:24:23,973 --> 00:24:26,173
Speaker 3: the comebacks, you got the swagger.

549
00:24:26,333 --> 00:24:29,613
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be Lamar No, and as of now,

550
00:24:29,653 --> 00:24:32,173
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be Josh Allen. I mean that could change,

551
00:24:32,213 --> 00:24:34,933
Speaker 1: but for right now, I wouldn't be Josh Allen. So

552
00:24:35,493 --> 00:24:39,493
Speaker 1: to me, if it's Baker or Mahomes, Mahomes is won

553
00:24:39,773 --> 00:24:41,613
Speaker 1: a couple maybe three in the past.

554
00:24:42,213 --> 00:24:44,053
Speaker 2: I think Baker should be the favorite.

555
00:24:44,493 --> 00:24:46,533
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would vote for him right now after last

556
00:24:46,533 --> 00:24:48,973
Speaker 3: week when he did that, which is a depleted roster,

557
00:24:49,013 --> 00:24:51,213
Speaker 3: he didn't have his running back, his receivers. You got

558
00:24:51,213 --> 00:24:53,493
Speaker 3: a guy named Tess Johnson coming in there making plays

559
00:24:53,493 --> 00:24:53,853
Speaker 3: for him.

560
00:24:54,013 --> 00:24:56,773
Speaker 2: Where would Daniel Jones be on your list. He's in.

561
00:24:57,413 --> 00:24:59,413
Speaker 2: He's got to be in the top five.

562
00:25:00,293 --> 00:25:03,773
Speaker 3: In the top five Baker until he cools off, it

563
00:25:03,853 --> 00:25:06,333
Speaker 3: has to be his I'm thinking, like last week, there's

564
00:25:06,373 --> 00:25:08,893
Speaker 3: like a third and fourteen, he gets that fifteen yard run.

565
00:25:09,093 --> 00:25:10,613
Speaker 3: I actually saw Todd Bowles today.

566
00:25:10,613 --> 00:25:13,453
Speaker 2: He was yelling get out and you're gonna get yourself killed,

567
00:25:13,693 --> 00:25:14,853
Speaker 2: and then he gets the first down.

568
00:25:14,893 --> 00:25:17,493
Speaker 3: I think that was one play before the Test Johnson touchdown.

569
00:25:17,893 --> 00:25:19,293
Speaker 3: He's just so fun to watch.

570
00:25:19,493 --> 00:25:21,572
Speaker 1: You think the only reason he's second in the odds

571
00:25:21,693 --> 00:25:26,173
Speaker 1: is because people think he's.

572
00:25:24,533 --> 00:25:27,213
Speaker 2: Like gonna not play that well all year, because I

573
00:25:27,213 --> 00:25:28,813
Speaker 2: think up to now he would win.

574
00:25:29,573 --> 00:25:32,373
Speaker 3: Yeah, and people probably wonder if the Bucks will level

575
00:25:32,373 --> 00:25:34,052
Speaker 3: out a little bit with their record in Mahomes is

576
00:25:34,053 --> 00:25:34,893
Speaker 3: only gonna keep winning.

577
00:25:35,013 --> 00:25:35,253
Speaker 2: Yeah.

578
00:25:35,373 --> 00:25:37,933
Speaker 4: To that point, Baker has more passing yards, touchdowns, and

579
00:25:38,013 --> 00:25:41,493
Speaker 4: less interceptions than Mahomes. But Patrick's getting Rashi Rice back

580
00:25:41,613 --> 00:25:44,213
Speaker 4: and this got maybe an easier schedule.

581
00:25:44,213 --> 00:25:44,572
Speaker 2: I don't know.

582
00:25:44,733 --> 00:25:47,572
Speaker 3: I liked Baker had a good quote this week. He

583
00:25:47,693 --> 00:25:50,213
Speaker 3: was like, I've been doing this exact same thing with

584
00:25:50,253 --> 00:25:52,613
Speaker 3: the same attitude since Cleveland. But in Cleveland I was

585
00:25:52,653 --> 00:25:55,093
Speaker 3: cocky and arrogant, and now I'm a dog and I

586
00:25:55,213 --> 00:25:57,893
Speaker 3: play with swagger like this is just what I've always done.

587
00:25:58,493 --> 00:26:00,893
Speaker 3: Cleveland was just really bad at using and evaluating me

588
00:26:00,933 --> 00:26:01,693
Speaker 3: and threw me away.

589
00:26:01,493 --> 00:26:06,093
Speaker 2: For Deshaun Watson. Got to frustrate. It's got to frustrate

590
00:26:06,813 --> 00:26:11,173
Speaker 2: Cleveland fans that this is happening, right, this was the

591
00:26:11,213 --> 00:26:12,973
Speaker 2: guy you had, and not just Cleveland.

592
00:26:13,013 --> 00:26:15,852
Speaker 1: I mean the Rams had him. Uh, the Panthers had him.

593
00:26:16,133 --> 00:26:18,533
Speaker 1: But still I think it's got to frustrate Cleveland people.

594
00:26:18,573 --> 00:26:20,853
Speaker 3: The most right I went from that was it went

595
00:26:20,853 --> 00:26:24,013
Speaker 3: from Baker to well we should go get to Sean Watson.

596
00:26:24,613 --> 00:26:27,333
Speaker 2: So and that move alone is like what are we doing?

597
00:26:27,453 --> 00:26:30,372
Speaker 3: And then now he's We're doing MVP talks while they

598
00:26:30,413 --> 00:26:33,053
Speaker 3: are on their forty second quarterback. Since Tim Couch, it's

599
00:26:33,053 --> 00:26:35,053
Speaker 3: got to be killing him inside. That was their draft pick.

600
00:26:36,293 --> 00:26:38,573
Speaker 2: It has to be and it has to be very

601
00:26:38,693 --> 00:26:42,933
Speaker 2: very Uh well, it's just sad. I mean they got

602
00:26:42,933 --> 00:26:43,653
Speaker 2: the number one pick.

603
00:26:43,693 --> 00:26:46,173
Speaker 3: They think he's the guy that I got crap another bus,

604
00:26:46,173 --> 00:26:47,733
Speaker 3: not our guy. And now he could go win the

605
00:26:47,813 --> 00:26:48,773
Speaker 3: MVP another team.

606
00:26:48,933 --> 00:26:50,453
Speaker 2: Well, I think he's gonna win it. I don't see

607
00:26:50,453 --> 00:26:53,373
Speaker 2: any reason. Now. Their schedule I believe gets is it

608
00:26:53,413 --> 00:26:54,493
Speaker 2: a little bit harder, a little bit.

609
00:26:54,893 --> 00:26:57,013
Speaker 3: I came remember the division, they said the Saints twice,

610
00:26:57,093 --> 00:26:58,853
Speaker 3: the Falcons twice, and the Panthers.

611
00:26:58,453 --> 00:27:01,092
Speaker 2: Twice, and they haven't played any of those games. They

612
00:27:01,093 --> 00:27:03,133
Speaker 2: played them at the Falconlanta.

613
00:27:02,533 --> 00:27:04,653
Speaker 1: So they have still Saints Twice's paid well, I mean,

614
00:27:04,653 --> 00:27:06,893
Speaker 1: he's gonna win it. What what are the It's like

615
00:27:06,893 --> 00:27:09,213
Speaker 1: plus three eighty or something right for.

616
00:27:09,653 --> 00:27:12,613
Speaker 4: Baker abb I'm not sure the number he's I think

617
00:27:12,653 --> 00:27:13,573
Speaker 4: it's plus three eighty.

618
00:27:13,613 --> 00:27:18,773
Speaker 1: To me, that's a really good bet right now, because I.

619
00:27:17,373 --> 00:27:20,493
Speaker 2: I mean, who are the lamar Is out? Alan is

620
00:27:20,533 --> 00:27:25,053
Speaker 2: close to out, Mahomes is Mahomes Matt Stafford's having a

621
00:27:25,093 --> 00:27:27,013
Speaker 2: pretty special year if they go on a big run.

622
00:27:27,133 --> 00:27:28,733
Speaker 1: I will note I was telling people to bet it

623
00:27:28,733 --> 00:27:30,933
Speaker 1: when it was like plus twelve hundred two weeks ago.

624
00:27:31,173 --> 00:27:33,733
Speaker 2: Of course I didn't bet it.

625
00:27:33,733 --> 00:27:36,693
Speaker 4: It's a Mahomes plus one seventy five, Baker and Josh

626
00:27:36,733 --> 00:27:39,653
Speaker 4: Allen at plus three hundred, and then Drake may Is

627
00:27:39,733 --> 00:27:41,653
Speaker 4: tied first third.

628
00:27:42,293 --> 00:27:42,693
Speaker 2: A good year.

629
00:27:43,053 --> 00:27:46,413
Speaker 1: Their schedule is so easy. We went over it last

630
00:27:46,453 --> 00:27:52,253
Speaker 1: week like their schedule is insanely easy. Now, Dylan Gabriel,

631
00:27:53,173 --> 00:27:55,813
Speaker 1: did you see his quote what do you saying this week?

632
00:27:56,493 --> 00:27:59,493
Speaker 1: I want to pull it up because you know, I

633
00:27:59,533 --> 00:28:01,653
Speaker 1: don't know when you were a kid, did you ever

634
00:28:01,813 --> 00:28:06,133
Speaker 1: did did your grandmother ever spank you?

635
00:28:06,813 --> 00:28:09,813
Speaker 3: Typically your grandmother, But yes I did get spanking because

636
00:28:09,813 --> 00:28:10,973
Speaker 3: it wasn't grandmother doing it.

637
00:28:10,973 --> 00:28:14,093
Speaker 1: Because Dylan Gabriel had a had a quote, I want

638
00:28:14,093 --> 00:28:16,613
Speaker 1: to read this to him. They asked him what it

639
00:28:16,773 --> 00:28:19,812
Speaker 1: was like to get hit so much by the Steelers

640
00:28:20,493 --> 00:28:24,013
Speaker 1: last week, and he said, quote, my mom used to

641
00:28:24,053 --> 00:28:26,893
Speaker 1: beat my blank when I was a kid, So I

642
00:28:26,893 --> 00:28:28,773
Speaker 1: don't think anything will be as bad as that.

643
00:28:30,413 --> 00:28:36,413
Speaker 2: Wow. Now I don't know. First of all, if i'm

644
00:28:36,413 --> 00:28:42,933
Speaker 2: his mom, I'm like, hey, you were another one. I'm

645
00:28:42,973 --> 00:28:48,853
Speaker 2: just kidding. Mom's got to be like con those were

646
00:28:48,893 --> 00:28:52,973
Speaker 2: out of love. Yes, this is not the same as TJ. Watt.

647
00:28:54,453 --> 00:28:56,453
Speaker 3: He's trying to rip your head off. I was trying

648
00:28:56,453 --> 00:29:00,293
Speaker 3: to giving you a love tag discipline. But he didn't

649
00:29:00,333 --> 00:29:03,853
Speaker 3: say spank. He used stronger words. I don't know what

650
00:29:03,853 --> 00:29:04,453
Speaker 3: do you think about?

651
00:29:04,453 --> 00:29:06,093
Speaker 2: This is a rookie's still getting used to the mic,

652
00:29:06,173 --> 00:29:09,933
Speaker 2: the phone. I've seen his mom, she said, she just

653
00:29:09,973 --> 00:29:13,773
Speaker 2: looks like a sweet person. I think we need an apology.

654
00:29:14,693 --> 00:29:17,293
Speaker 2: I think he should I think mom should have to go. Look,

655
00:29:18,333 --> 00:29:20,373
Speaker 2: it was, it was it was just meant to be nice.

656
00:29:20,373 --> 00:29:22,133
Speaker 2: He should have done the mind thing on that question

657
00:29:22,213 --> 00:29:26,413
Speaker 2: in the Cleveland locker room. Yeah, and now Chador was

658
00:29:26,573 --> 00:29:30,733
Speaker 2: named the backup. Okay, that's big. So uh do you expect?

659
00:29:31,253 --> 00:29:33,813
Speaker 2: I mean, dial Gabriel did not look good? He's got

660
00:29:33,813 --> 00:29:36,653
Speaker 2: it this this week they play the Dolphins. Okay, if he's.

661
00:29:36,533 --> 00:29:38,933
Speaker 3: Ever gonna have his hey, give me a chance game,

662
00:29:39,173 --> 00:29:40,373
Speaker 3: a little bit of a breakout.

663
00:29:40,853 --> 00:29:41,933
Speaker 2: This is an opportunity.

664
00:29:42,373 --> 00:29:46,813
Speaker 1: They're at home. Dolphins not good. Their defense is if

665
00:29:46,853 --> 00:29:49,693
Speaker 1: the Browns beat them, does Mike me Daniel get fired.

666
00:29:50,973 --> 00:29:55,373
Speaker 3: I was still watching the newswire right now, thought a

667
00:29:55,373 --> 00:29:58,853
Speaker 3: little bit of Yeah, he's gonna he's up against it already,

668
00:29:58,893 --> 00:30:02,173
Speaker 3: I think, even though they're probably phil go underdog at Cleveland.

669
00:30:02,173 --> 00:30:04,013
Speaker 3: But yeah, if you can't beat the Browns, are you

670
00:30:04,053 --> 00:30:04,453
Speaker 3: gonna beat?

671
00:30:04,693 --> 00:30:04,853
Speaker 2: Now?

672
00:30:04,893 --> 00:30:08,933
Speaker 1: The front the Browns four quarterback Joe Flacco is taking

673
00:30:08,973 --> 00:30:12,893
Speaker 1: the Bengals. They're playing Thursday night football against Aaron Rodgers

674
00:30:13,093 --> 00:30:16,453
Speaker 1: and the Steelers. It is being called the Icy Hot

675
00:30:16,493 --> 00:30:20,493
Speaker 1: Bowl since both quarterbacks are over forty. It is the

676
00:30:20,533 --> 00:30:25,253
Speaker 1: second oldest meeting of quarterbacks ever both guys say that

677
00:30:25,293 --> 00:30:27,493
Speaker 1: they would like the game to be called the Icy

678
00:30:27,533 --> 00:30:29,493
Speaker 1: Hot Bowl. So I'm going to go ahead and say it.

679
00:30:29,893 --> 00:30:33,253
Speaker 1: Do you like seeing two men over the age of

680
00:30:33,293 --> 00:30:37,853
Speaker 1: forty years old playing quarterback? They say sports is a

681
00:30:37,893 --> 00:30:40,933
Speaker 1: young man's game. Apparently not when you present it that way,

682
00:30:41,093 --> 00:30:43,893
Speaker 1: I would normally be like, no, I have no interest

683
00:30:43,893 --> 00:30:44,453
Speaker 1: in that, but I.

684
00:30:44,453 --> 00:30:46,733
Speaker 3: Kind of want to see another run of Flacco with

685
00:30:46,773 --> 00:30:47,893
Speaker 3: some pieces around him.

686
00:30:48,213 --> 00:30:50,653
Speaker 2: You know, he got that as that game went on.

687
00:30:51,213 --> 00:30:55,053
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase helped him, I know, but like, ultimately Jamar

688
00:30:55,173 --> 00:30:57,213
Speaker 1: Chase is good, So the goal is just to be

689
00:30:57,253 --> 00:30:57,773
Speaker 1: able to get.

690
00:30:57,693 --> 00:30:59,373
Speaker 3: Him the ball. That's what I mean. He finally has

691
00:30:59,453 --> 00:31:01,293
Speaker 3: weapons around him. In Cleveland, he didn't have any wee

692
00:31:01,533 --> 00:31:01,813
Speaker 3: and in.

693
00:31:01,773 --> 00:31:03,413
Speaker 2: The first half. I mean, he'd only been on the

694
00:31:03,413 --> 00:31:06,013
Speaker 2: team for four days, so you know, he probably didn't

695
00:31:06,013 --> 00:31:07,853
Speaker 2: even know the playbook. He's probably drawing it up in

696
00:31:07,853 --> 00:31:09,973
Speaker 2: his hand. You go left and then take a right.

697
00:31:11,653 --> 00:31:14,653
Speaker 2: That's a play by the way, it's like Thanksgiving, Yeah,

698
00:31:14,693 --> 00:31:18,533
Speaker 2: you got yeah to say about it, Go left, then

699
00:31:18,573 --> 00:31:22,853
Speaker 2: take a right. They're baffled. He draws that up and

700
00:31:22,893 --> 00:31:24,373
Speaker 2: then by the end of the game he was playing

701
00:31:24,413 --> 00:31:25,093
Speaker 2: really really well.

702
00:31:25,253 --> 00:31:27,773
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw in the Bengals press conference to day.

703
00:31:27,813 --> 00:31:29,653
Speaker 3: You know, I'm just watching random team press conference?

704
00:31:29,733 --> 00:31:31,693
Speaker 2: When did you do that a lot? I did this week.

705
00:31:31,773 --> 00:31:33,213
Speaker 2: You don't need a long time. I never knew you

706
00:31:33,213 --> 00:31:35,293
Speaker 2: as a guy watching random in until this week.

707
00:31:35,333 --> 00:31:38,213
Speaker 3: I watched a couple of them. But they asked Joe Flacco.

708
00:31:38,293 --> 00:31:40,413
Speaker 3: They're like, what you know, you're still figuring this out.

709
00:31:40,453 --> 00:31:40,773
Speaker 2: You're new.

710
00:31:40,813 --> 00:31:43,013
Speaker 3: What if Jamar Chase comes up to you. It's like,

711
00:31:43,053 --> 00:31:44,693
Speaker 3: I know this is the play, but I'm gonna do

712
00:31:44,693 --> 00:31:47,053
Speaker 3: this instead. And Flaco was like, I'm gonna say, yeah, man,

713
00:31:47,173 --> 00:31:50,493
Speaker 3: sure let's do that. Like I'm just he's the star.

714
00:31:50,733 --> 00:31:53,213
Speaker 3: I'm here to get him the ball. If Chase says

715
00:31:53,253 --> 00:31:54,773
Speaker 3: he's doing something, I'm going with it.

716
00:31:54,973 --> 00:31:57,893
Speaker 1: I always wonder Jamar Chase gave a quote that was like,

717
00:31:58,613 --> 00:32:01,373
Speaker 1: it's been nice to have someone who can put the

718
00:32:01,413 --> 00:32:04,853
Speaker 1: ball in my hands. He said something like that, implying

719
00:32:04,933 --> 00:32:08,533
Speaker 1: that Jake Browning could not put the ball in his hand.

720
00:32:09,333 --> 00:32:11,453
Speaker 1: I always wonder what it's like when you say something

721
00:32:11,533 --> 00:32:14,093
Speaker 1: like that when then you see Jake Browning.

722
00:32:15,373 --> 00:32:18,213
Speaker 2: Because he's he's still in the locker. Presumably Jake has

723
00:32:18,253 --> 00:32:18,813
Speaker 2: his phone number.

724
00:32:19,373 --> 00:32:22,373
Speaker 1: I mean, Mike sit next to it. Do you just

725
00:32:22,493 --> 00:32:27,853
Speaker 1: go hey, man, like you have to say that right here.

726
00:32:27,893 --> 00:32:29,373
Speaker 3: Like Jake said, be like, dude, this was pretty close

727
00:32:29,373 --> 00:32:31,333
Speaker 3: to your hands A few of those times, like I'm trying.

728
00:32:32,493 --> 00:32:34,653
Speaker 2: I'm doing the best of tam and well, remember Jake

729
00:32:34,693 --> 00:32:36,533
Speaker 2: Browning was the guy who did the press conference who

730
00:32:36,533 --> 00:32:40,573
Speaker 2: He's like, I'm trying, man, I'm I want to be good.

731
00:32:42,853 --> 00:32:46,173
Speaker 2: Every night I look in the mirror and I tell

732
00:32:46,213 --> 00:32:48,573
Speaker 2: you to go left and then right, doing my best.

733
00:32:48,853 --> 00:32:51,133
Speaker 2: But here comes Joe Flacco. And if you're Jake Browning,

734
00:32:51,133 --> 00:32:52,933
Speaker 2: and it's got to be a humbling thing. You've been

735
00:32:52,933 --> 00:32:54,893
Speaker 2: playing football your whole life. You've been the backup on

736
00:32:54,933 --> 00:32:55,733
Speaker 2: this team for a while.

737
00:32:56,773 --> 00:33:00,813
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco comes from an AARP meeting and watching Matt

738
00:33:00,853 --> 00:33:03,373
Speaker 1: Locke to come on the field and be better than you.

739
00:33:04,133 --> 00:33:06,613
Speaker 2: That's got to make you a little Sad's got the

740
00:33:06,653 --> 00:33:10,813
Speaker 2: gray hair, gray not great gray hair.

741
00:33:11,093 --> 00:33:13,493
Speaker 3: He's I mean, he's just kind of a statue right there.

742
00:33:13,773 --> 00:33:16,293
Speaker 3: You know, he's taking talent all at every turn. He's

743
00:33:16,333 --> 00:33:18,933
Speaker 3: just old feeling it and you're Browning. Browning has a

744
00:33:18,973 --> 00:33:21,133
Speaker 3: little swagger about him. He didn't till losing the last

745
00:33:21,173 --> 00:33:22,613
Speaker 3: few games. It looks like he's losing it.

746
00:33:23,013 --> 00:33:25,693
Speaker 2: Got the got the model girlfriend that goes viral. He's young.

747
00:33:25,773 --> 00:33:27,853
Speaker 3: He thinks he's just gonna step in and be Burrow

748
00:33:27,933 --> 00:33:31,933
Speaker 3: two point zero Texas woman. Flaco can't do that.

749
00:33:32,093 --> 00:33:33,573
Speaker 2: Then he's looking at Flacco, who's own.

750
00:33:34,053 --> 00:33:36,853
Speaker 3: Flacco's own kids are wearing rival teams jerseys and little

751
00:33:36,853 --> 00:33:37,413
Speaker 3: players on it.

752
00:33:37,453 --> 00:33:40,333
Speaker 1: And that's the guy that would be tough if he

753
00:33:40,653 --> 00:33:43,533
Speaker 1: Flacco takes. I mean, she already likes back up quarterbacks.

754
00:33:44,093 --> 00:33:49,973
Speaker 1: Flacco is the Flacco and Gardner minshew, that's that Cooper rush,

755
00:33:50,373 --> 00:33:51,493
Speaker 1: That's that's her type.

756
00:33:52,013 --> 00:33:53,893
Speaker 3: This has to be one of those moments for Browning

757
00:33:53,893 --> 00:33:56,093
Speaker 3: where it's like, you know this, I thought I was

758
00:33:56,093 --> 00:33:57,213
Speaker 3: gonna this was my moment.

759
00:33:57,293 --> 00:33:59,613
Speaker 2: I think I'm learning. Maybe it's time to seek some honey.

760
00:33:59,653 --> 00:34:04,893
Speaker 2: Do you winter grad school applications? We might see that.

761
00:34:19,292 --> 00:34:24,613
Speaker 1: The Jacksonville Jaguars offense coordinator says they will work during

762
00:34:24,652 --> 00:34:28,252
Speaker 1: this off week to give Travis Hunter a greater role

763
00:34:28,292 --> 00:34:32,772
Speaker 1: on offense for a team that's good, and Jacksonville's pretty good.

764
00:34:32,812 --> 00:34:35,013
Speaker 1: Don't you feel like they worry too much about what

765
00:34:35,252 --> 00:34:36,093
Speaker 1: Travis Hunt like?

766
00:34:37,332 --> 00:34:37,573
Speaker 2: Is it?

767
00:34:37,613 --> 00:34:41,493
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like we hear specific Travis Hunter

768
00:34:42,093 --> 00:34:44,852
Speaker 1: things every week they're good. Why do they do this?

769
00:34:45,613 --> 00:34:45,852
Speaker 2: Yeah?

770
00:34:45,893 --> 00:34:47,772
Speaker 3: I guess they traded to get him, and he's your

771
00:34:47,772 --> 00:34:50,412
Speaker 3: big asset. But you're what four and two? Four and

772
00:34:50,493 --> 00:34:52,332
Speaker 3: two got a lot of good things going for you.

773
00:34:52,933 --> 00:34:54,692
Speaker 3: It seems they are focusing on that a lot. He's

774
00:34:54,692 --> 00:34:56,652
Speaker 3: made a few big catches, but then there's some other

775
00:34:56,692 --> 00:34:59,973
Speaker 3: games where he's disappointing. It seems like he'd just be

776
00:35:00,252 --> 00:35:02,252
Speaker 3: like any other who's.

777
00:35:01,933 --> 00:35:05,532
Speaker 2: More disappointed him or Bronny. Are you saying this because

778
00:35:05,533 --> 00:35:08,412
Speaker 2: Bronni's bigges fan is in the room. Yeah, Mario, who's

779
00:35:08,413 --> 00:35:11,292
Speaker 2: sitting over here shaking his head, Oh loves Bryce. You

780
00:35:11,332 --> 00:35:13,332
Speaker 2: see just a little side note.

781
00:35:13,413 --> 00:35:18,013
Speaker 1: In a preseason game last night, Bronnie was minus fourteen

782
00:35:18,372 --> 00:35:21,172
Speaker 1: plus minus in a game the Lakers led by twenty.

783
00:35:22,812 --> 00:35:26,732
Speaker 2: He was thirty four points worse. I know it's a

784
00:35:26,772 --> 00:35:30,892
Speaker 2: preseason game, but I'm just saying, I take Travis Hunter there,

785
00:35:30,933 --> 00:35:32,373
Speaker 2: you take Travis Hunter over Bronny.

786
00:35:32,493 --> 00:35:35,572
Speaker 3: Yeah, they got saw a Skip Bayless went on some rand.

787
00:35:35,852 --> 00:35:38,572
Speaker 3: I think Travis Hunter got batized up before the game.

788
00:35:38,652 --> 00:35:40,772
Speaker 2: He did. Yeah, that makes Skip Bayless man. Well.

789
00:35:40,772 --> 00:35:43,332
Speaker 3: Skip Bayless has like a thirty minute video talking about

790
00:35:43,413 --> 00:35:45,852
Speaker 3: him getting baptized. I think it's positive, but he like

791
00:35:45,893 --> 00:35:47,973
Speaker 3: does a whole show on the baptism or something. I

792
00:35:48,093 --> 00:35:48,733
Speaker 3: saw it online.

793
00:35:48,933 --> 00:35:50,212
Speaker 2: What's there to say? I don't know.

794
00:35:50,292 --> 00:35:53,172
Speaker 3: That's why my I can't commit thirty minutes. Skip bellis

795
00:35:53,212 --> 00:35:56,013
Speaker 3: Skip Bayless has ran here, but he's felt very strongly

796
00:35:56,013 --> 00:35:58,292
Speaker 3: about it, but very very good on Travis Hunter. He

797
00:35:58,332 --> 00:36:00,172
Speaker 3: had the moment last week where he brought the woman

798
00:36:00,212 --> 00:36:01,533
Speaker 3: he met on the plane as his.

799
00:36:01,973 --> 00:36:03,732
Speaker 2: That was nice. Seems like a great kid. What was

800
00:36:03,732 --> 00:36:06,013
Speaker 2: the baptism was like? Was it the morning of the

801
00:36:06,292 --> 00:36:08,172
Speaker 2: game of the team the game?

802
00:36:08,812 --> 00:36:12,613
Speaker 4: Bayless called Travis Hunter checked out mentally because.

803
00:36:12,292 --> 00:36:14,812
Speaker 2: He got baptized. It wasn't possible. I couldn't give it there.

804
00:36:15,053 --> 00:36:18,333
Speaker 4: Deciding to get baptized the morning of a team game

805
00:36:19,453 --> 00:36:19,852
Speaker 4: for me.

806
00:36:19,893 --> 00:36:22,732
Speaker 1: For me to suggest that there are things more important

807
00:36:22,732 --> 00:36:26,053
Speaker 1: than the Bucks Seahawks game in the regular season. But

808
00:36:26,093 --> 00:36:28,572
Speaker 1: I don't think that would mean he was mentally checked out.

809
00:36:29,013 --> 00:36:35,412
Speaker 1: I do ever think that there's too much Travis Hunter distraction.

810
00:36:35,852 --> 00:36:37,492
Speaker 1: I mean he had a big drop at the end

811
00:36:37,493 --> 00:36:39,933
Speaker 1: of that game against the Seahawks, like they were the

812
00:36:40,172 --> 00:36:44,093
Speaker 1: Jaguars were driving and it went off his hands. This

813
00:36:44,212 --> 00:36:46,252
Speaker 1: continues my belief that he should have just picked one

814
00:36:46,252 --> 00:36:48,692
Speaker 1: side of the ball and played. I think there's way

815
00:36:48,732 --> 00:36:52,212
Speaker 1: too much focus on getting him involved rather than just

816
00:36:52,252 --> 00:36:52,973
Speaker 1: winning games.

817
00:36:53,212 --> 00:36:55,172
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's the physical angle where you wish you

818
00:36:55,172 --> 00:36:57,493
Speaker 2: can control a little bit with his snaps, But he

819
00:36:57,493 --> 00:36:59,732
Speaker 2: also has to memorize what he has to do at

820
00:36:59,812 --> 00:37:02,133
Speaker 2: two different positions, and that's got to take a lot

821
00:37:02,172 --> 00:37:04,133
Speaker 2: out of him also in addition to having to play

822
00:37:04,172 --> 00:37:07,853
Speaker 2: both ways. So it's too much task of an NFL player.

823
00:37:07,893 --> 00:37:09,013
Speaker 2: It's neat that they're trying it.

824
00:37:09,493 --> 00:37:12,412
Speaker 3: I enjoy watching it, but I don't think it's gonna

825
00:37:12,413 --> 00:37:13,492
Speaker 3: be best for him long term.

826
00:37:13,573 --> 00:37:17,812
Speaker 1: Then ultimately they probably should not have traded up to

827
00:37:17,812 --> 00:37:18,252
Speaker 1: get him.

828
00:37:18,372 --> 00:37:20,613
Speaker 3: That's a little that's silly at the time. Even if

829
00:37:20,652 --> 00:37:21,892
Speaker 3: he does turn out and play both ways.

830
00:37:21,933 --> 00:37:25,253
Speaker 1: Although that trade, if the Jaguars stay good, they won't

831
00:37:25,252 --> 00:37:28,332
Speaker 1: lose as high a pick, you know, the Browns. The

832
00:37:28,413 --> 00:37:31,013
Speaker 1: Jaguars are bad. The Browns could have gotten like a

833
00:37:31,093 --> 00:37:34,493
Speaker 1: top five pick. It'll probably be a little bit lower.

834
00:37:34,493 --> 00:37:36,972
Speaker 1: Speaking of teams that are not great, Will the Jets

835
00:37:37,053 --> 00:37:37,532
Speaker 1: win a game?

836
00:37:38,212 --> 00:37:40,412
Speaker 2: I asked that last week and you said yes. But

837
00:37:40,533 --> 00:37:44,013
Speaker 2: now you got Garrett Wilson's out for a little while. Oh,

838
00:37:44,053 --> 00:37:45,213
Speaker 2: they're fighting with his coach.

839
00:37:46,053 --> 00:37:48,333
Speaker 3: I saw Justin Fields has like some of the worst

840
00:37:48,332 --> 00:37:53,292
Speaker 3: stats in many years. Their schedule helps him. I'll say

841
00:37:53,292 --> 00:37:56,692
Speaker 3: they get one, but I think they're gonna end up

842
00:37:56,732 --> 00:37:58,493
Speaker 3: taking the number one pick for my Titans.

843
00:37:58,573 --> 00:38:04,652
Speaker 2: I Justin Fields is is just awful and it's not

844
00:38:04,772 --> 00:38:05,652
Speaker 2: totally his fault.

845
00:38:05,772 --> 00:38:08,413
Speaker 1: His off defensive line has been bad. But I watched

846
00:38:08,493 --> 00:38:11,013
Speaker 1: him a lot of years in Chicago and he seems

847
00:38:11,053 --> 00:38:13,292
Speaker 1: like a nice fella. Which, by the way, anytime you

848
00:38:13,332 --> 00:38:15,332
Speaker 1: start a sentence with he seems like a nice fell

849
00:38:15,413 --> 00:38:18,093
Speaker 1: whatever comes next is not good.

850
00:38:18,413 --> 00:38:19,933
Speaker 2: You know nobody ever.

851
00:38:20,372 --> 00:38:22,572
Speaker 1: So it's not like people say about Michael Jordan, he's

852
00:38:22,613 --> 00:38:24,973
Speaker 1: a nice fella, but then you just go ahead and

853
00:38:25,013 --> 00:38:26,412
Speaker 1: talk about some good So when he say he's a

854
00:38:26,493 --> 00:38:28,452
Speaker 1: nice fellow, that what's next is not going to be good.

855
00:38:29,453 --> 00:38:32,133
Speaker 2: But I think there's no reason to play Justin Fields.

856
00:38:32,613 --> 00:38:36,412
Speaker 2: They should put someone young, someone with potentially a future there,

857
00:38:36,732 --> 00:38:38,732
Speaker 2: or you just lose every game and say we're gonna

858
00:38:38,732 --> 00:38:40,613
Speaker 2: get the number one pick in a year where it's

859
00:38:40,652 --> 00:38:42,292
Speaker 2: not clear who the best quarterback is.

860
00:38:42,812 --> 00:38:44,892
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Justin Phils was supposed to do their

861
00:38:44,933 --> 00:38:46,812
Speaker 3: move like let's try this young guy and see what

862
00:38:46,852 --> 00:38:48,333
Speaker 3: he has even though it didn't work in Chicago?

863
00:38:48,413 --> 00:38:50,853
Speaker 2: How long did you get to be young? Maybe a reset? Yeah?

864
00:38:51,812 --> 00:38:54,933
Speaker 2: What is he like? Twenty five? Twenty six? Now, no, he's.

865
00:38:54,812 --> 00:38:59,172
Speaker 1: Older than that, just because like twenty how is Tyron

866
00:38:59,212 --> 00:39:00,133
Speaker 1: Taylor still there?

867
00:39:01,093 --> 00:39:04,732
Speaker 2: Tyron Taylor has been there. Tyron Taylor has been with

868
00:39:04,852 --> 00:39:10,572
Speaker 2: the Jets fifty years. Justin Fields is twenty six. Man,

869
00:39:10,652 --> 00:39:12,412
Speaker 2: I thought he was older than that. Yeah, I mean

870
00:39:12,453 --> 00:39:15,012
Speaker 2: he was your your future just a couple of years ago.

871
00:39:15,772 --> 00:39:17,973
Speaker 1: Yeah, well longer than that. This was like four or

872
00:39:17,973 --> 00:39:21,692
Speaker 1: five years ago. We mean the Bears. Yeah, oh, I

873
00:39:21,692 --> 00:39:23,972
Speaker 1: thought you were talking about something else. Know, I'm saying

874
00:39:23,973 --> 00:39:26,372
Speaker 1: that he was the young because like four years a

875
00:39:26,372 --> 00:39:27,892
Speaker 1: couture was not that long ago.

876
00:39:28,013 --> 00:39:29,452
Speaker 2: Now this is this is a while. This is like

877
00:39:29,453 --> 00:39:30,292
Speaker 2: four or five years ago.

878
00:39:30,372 --> 00:39:34,732
Speaker 1: I met a woman and and like we were talking

879
00:39:34,852 --> 00:39:36,892
Speaker 1: and I said to her, you know how you'll go

880
00:39:36,933 --> 00:39:38,732
Speaker 1: be like, oh, when's your last relationship?

881
00:39:39,133 --> 00:39:41,372
Speaker 2: And I was like and she was like, uh, I

882
00:39:41,413 --> 00:39:42,972
Speaker 2: was like, oh yeah, when's the last? Right she goes.

883
00:39:43,013 --> 00:39:44,292
Speaker 2: She goes, well, I went out on some dates with

884
00:39:44,372 --> 00:39:49,292
Speaker 2: Tyrod Taylor, and I was like, well, you and I'll

885
00:39:49,292 --> 00:39:53,772
Speaker 2: probably have a lot in common because I mean Tyrod

886
00:39:53,812 --> 00:39:55,732
Speaker 2: and I very similar.

887
00:39:55,852 --> 00:39:58,973
Speaker 3: Right, Well, if I think about his career history, you

888
00:39:59,013 --> 00:40:00,652
Speaker 3: both like to travel the United States.

889
00:40:00,812 --> 00:40:03,533
Speaker 2: He's played out everywhere. You like to see new cities.

890
00:40:03,573 --> 00:40:04,533
Speaker 2: He likes new cities.

891
00:40:04,973 --> 00:40:06,772
Speaker 1: Yeah, and she at the time was like ten years

892
00:40:06,772 --> 00:40:11,212
Speaker 1: older than him. So Tyrod, he'd be my quarterback. Actually,

893
00:40:11,332 --> 00:40:13,412
Speaker 1: if I was the Jets, why not. I just don't

894
00:40:13,453 --> 00:40:13,933
Speaker 1: see any.

895
00:40:13,812 --> 00:40:15,573
Speaker 2: Reason to keep throwing justin fields out there.

896
00:40:15,652 --> 00:40:18,533
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, he's one to go young. If he's the

897
00:40:18,573 --> 00:40:20,732
Speaker 3: only backup, I don't think that's going young. He's got

898
00:40:20,772 --> 00:40:22,412
Speaker 3: to be up there pushing the Flacco.

899
00:40:22,172 --> 00:40:24,292
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers range. As long as he's been in the link.

900
00:40:24,413 --> 00:40:28,133
Speaker 1: I think they are on alert for not winning any games.

901
00:40:28,652 --> 00:40:31,133
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and say I think they are

902
00:40:31,252 --> 00:40:34,452
Speaker 1: on alert. Now we have a new segment. Would you

903
00:40:34,533 --> 00:40:35,333
Speaker 1: like to know the new segment.

904
00:40:35,332 --> 00:40:37,493
Speaker 2: I'm excited about us. So we have a new segment.

905
00:40:38,332 --> 00:40:42,933
Speaker 1: We continue to add advertisers and excitement here to NFL

906
00:40:42,973 --> 00:40:48,413
Speaker 1: cover zero. This is known as the Victory Bundle, presented

907
00:40:48,413 --> 00:40:53,493
Speaker 1: by Liberty Mutual. It is time so every show I

908
00:40:53,652 --> 00:40:54,613
Speaker 1: will get to say this.

909
00:40:54,973 --> 00:40:55,533
Speaker 2: Are you ready?

910
00:40:57,053 --> 00:41:00,172
Speaker 1: You'll get to privilege. It's time for the Victory Bundle

911
00:41:00,533 --> 00:41:04,013
Speaker 1: presented by Liberty Mutual. And the victory Bundle is you

912
00:41:04,053 --> 00:41:08,093
Speaker 1: and I will pick three three games, uh, and we'll

913
00:41:08,093 --> 00:41:10,652
Speaker 1: pick who wins and we will give you our victory bundle.

914
00:41:10,692 --> 00:41:12,292
Speaker 1: Now we're trying. We're going to try to pick things

915
00:41:12,332 --> 00:41:15,292
Speaker 1: where we agree so that we can be like we

916
00:41:15,292 --> 00:41:16,373
Speaker 1: can bundle together.

917
00:41:16,812 --> 00:41:17,493
Speaker 2: Are you ready?

918
00:41:17,692 --> 00:41:20,532
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna pick three games randomly and then

919
00:41:20,613 --> 00:41:25,493
Speaker 1: we'll pick the winners in London nine thirty am Rams

920
00:41:25,573 --> 00:41:28,252
Speaker 1: Jaguars two four and two teams, maybe the best game

921
00:41:28,372 --> 00:41:31,013
Speaker 1: London's gotten in a long time. As part of the

922
00:41:31,053 --> 00:41:34,773
Speaker 1: Liberty Mutual Victory Bundle. Who do we take in London?

923
00:41:36,053 --> 00:41:38,412
Speaker 3: This is a tough one because this is the Jaguars

924
00:41:38,533 --> 00:41:41,692
Speaker 3: home field at Wimbley. Was it thirteen straight years they've

925
00:41:41,732 --> 00:41:42,252
Speaker 3: played there?

926
00:41:42,372 --> 00:41:42,612
Speaker 2: Yes?

927
00:41:42,732 --> 00:41:45,692
Speaker 3: But Billy, unless there's been recent news pook Is there

928
00:41:45,732 --> 00:41:49,052
Speaker 3: anything on Pooka Nakua right now? Because he's he could

929
00:41:49,093 --> 00:41:52,533
Speaker 3: be out questionable. So I'm leaning Jacksonville depending on Poka

930
00:41:52,613 --> 00:41:53,692
Speaker 3: did not practice today?

931
00:41:55,212 --> 00:41:56,573
Speaker 2: All right, I'll go with you.

932
00:41:56,933 --> 00:41:58,772
Speaker 1: The Rams are a three and a half point favorite, though,

933
00:41:59,252 --> 00:42:00,692
Speaker 1: so we'll take it against the spread.

934
00:42:00,772 --> 00:42:01,292
Speaker 2: There we go.

935
00:42:01,533 --> 00:42:04,573
Speaker 1: Our victory bundle against the spread is, if you want victory,

936
00:42:04,652 --> 00:42:08,252
Speaker 1: take the Jags on their home field. Uh in Uh there,

937
00:42:08,252 --> 00:42:11,973
Speaker 1: I think this one's at Wimbley. I'm gonna take the Jags.

938
00:42:12,212 --> 00:42:13,652
Speaker 1: That's part one of the victory bundle.

939
00:42:13,732 --> 00:42:13,972
Speaker 2: Now.

940
00:42:14,692 --> 00:42:17,692
Speaker 1: Can I like this one a lot? The Panthers and

941
00:42:17,732 --> 00:42:20,932
Speaker 1: the Jets. Panthers on the road to the Jets.

942
00:42:21,332 --> 00:42:23,332
Speaker 2: What are you laughing at? Just the fact that this

943
00:42:23,413 --> 00:42:24,493
Speaker 2: is a mashup.

944
00:42:24,893 --> 00:42:27,372
Speaker 1: Panthers and the Jets. Panthers are only a one and

945
00:42:27,453 --> 00:42:31,692
Speaker 1: a half point favorite against the Jets. I'm taking the

946
00:42:31,692 --> 00:42:34,372
Speaker 1: Panthers as part of my victory bundle. Are you with me?

947
00:42:34,692 --> 00:42:38,253
Speaker 2: Absolutely? We just talked about the train wreck the Jets

948
00:42:38,292 --> 00:42:42,732
Speaker 2: are right now, the star receivers out Panthers have have

949
00:42:42,812 --> 00:42:44,492
Speaker 2: they won two in a row? Yeah, they won two

950
00:42:44,533 --> 00:42:48,053
Speaker 2: in a row. Just keep riding this wave, all right?

951
00:42:48,093 --> 00:42:51,292
Speaker 1: So you're you're gonna ride on the the victory bundle, right?

952
00:42:51,292 --> 00:42:55,172
Speaker 1: And then finally I really like, uh, it's the Eagles

953
00:42:55,212 --> 00:42:57,933
Speaker 1: at the Vikings. The Eagles only a one and a

954
00:42:57,973 --> 00:43:00,012
Speaker 1: half point favorite, and we don't even know for sure

955
00:43:00,013 --> 00:43:03,692
Speaker 1: who's gonna play quarterback for Minnesota. I love the Eagles

956
00:43:03,732 --> 00:43:05,772
Speaker 1: here I'm gonna take the Eagles on there. I'll only

957
00:43:05,812 --> 00:43:06,452
Speaker 1: get one and a half.

958
00:43:06,493 --> 00:43:08,892
Speaker 2: If you set this spread two weeks ago, it's gonna

959
00:43:08,933 --> 00:43:11,292
Speaker 2: be six and a half. So give me the Eagles

960
00:43:11,332 --> 00:43:14,612
Speaker 2: to join. I like that here too. I will say, though,

961
00:43:15,292 --> 00:43:17,892
Speaker 2: if their offense doesn't click here in a little bit,

962
00:43:18,413 --> 00:43:21,573
Speaker 2: I'm gonna start selling the Eagles. But I'm gonna give

963
00:43:21,613 --> 00:43:22,333
Speaker 2: him a little longer.

964
00:43:22,573 --> 00:43:24,732
Speaker 3: But I think they are gonna have some serious concerns

965
00:43:24,772 --> 00:43:26,652
Speaker 3: if they don't fix that soon. Their run game and

966
00:43:26,652 --> 00:43:29,172
Speaker 3: half is dominant. Was a year ago we got aj

967
00:43:29,332 --> 00:43:32,013
Speaker 3: brown poutin. This could be a long term issue if

968
00:43:32,013 --> 00:43:33,012
Speaker 3: it doesn't get cleaned up soon.

969
00:43:33,093 --> 00:43:37,332
Speaker 1: So we're going all animals for our victory Bundle. It

970
00:43:37,453 --> 00:43:42,772
Speaker 1: is the Animal Victory Bundle. Give us the Jaguars, the Panthers,

971
00:43:43,252 --> 00:43:45,933
Speaker 1: and the Eagles. That is your victory of a bundle

972
00:43:45,933 --> 00:43:48,852
Speaker 1: presented by Liberty Mutual. You can start your quote at

973
00:43:48,893 --> 00:43:53,452
Speaker 1: Libertymutual dot com. All right now, time for our Survivor

974
00:43:53,812 --> 00:43:57,573
Speaker 1: League and our and well, first of all, our Survivor

975
00:43:57,652 --> 00:43:59,652
Speaker 1: League and our touchdown picks. Now, Drew is not in

976
00:43:59,732 --> 00:44:04,972
Speaker 1: the Survivor League because he did not survive. So it's

977
00:44:05,053 --> 00:44:07,972
Speaker 1: me and you Billy. It looks like do I get

978
00:44:07,973 --> 00:44:09,812
Speaker 1: to pick first this week on the Survivor League?

979
00:44:09,812 --> 00:44:10,252
Speaker 2: I think I do.

980
00:44:10,332 --> 00:44:13,692
Speaker 1: Yeah, go ahead, So it is the I've taken the Packers,

981
00:44:13,893 --> 00:44:18,413
Speaker 1: the Broncos, the Ravens, and the Lions. So Packers, Broncos,

982
00:44:18,533 --> 00:44:21,372
Speaker 1: Ravens and Lions and so to try. I've sitting here

983
00:44:21,372 --> 00:44:24,732
Speaker 1: looking this week, and you know there's a couple of

984
00:44:24,772 --> 00:44:27,692
Speaker 1: different choices. The biggest spread is Chiefs Raiders. But I've

985
00:44:27,772 --> 00:44:32,172
Speaker 1: kind of learned over the years, don't pick that game, right.

986
00:44:32,252 --> 00:44:34,812
Speaker 1: I mean, the Chiefs and the Raiders have won that

987
00:44:34,893 --> 00:44:39,452
Speaker 1: game surprisingly quite a bit, so if you don't take

988
00:44:39,493 --> 00:44:42,332
Speaker 1: that one, it becomes a little difficult. I'm gonna take

989
00:44:42,372 --> 00:44:46,572
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots to beat your Titans on the road.

990
00:44:46,692 --> 00:44:47,292
Speaker 2: What a lock.

991
00:44:47,973 --> 00:44:51,613
Speaker 1: So I'm going with the Patriots. They will join That

992
00:44:51,732 --> 00:44:53,452
Speaker 1: is my pick for the week in the Survivor League.

993
00:44:53,453 --> 00:44:56,613
Speaker 1: I'll take the Patriots. Now, Bill, you've taken the Jaguars,

994
00:44:57,013 --> 00:44:59,333
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, the Bills, and the Colts.

995
00:44:59,692 --> 00:45:00,692
Speaker 2: Who would you like this week?

996
00:45:00,772 --> 00:45:03,133
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, I love your pick of the Patriots.

997
00:45:03,133 --> 00:45:05,573
Speaker 4: That's a home game for them in Tennessee. With Frabel

998
00:45:05,613 --> 00:45:08,133
Speaker 4: coming back. I've flipped on this pick a couple of times,

999
00:45:08,453 --> 00:45:11,413
Speaker 4: and you mentioned it. I'm taking the Chiefs versus the Raiders.

1000
00:45:11,613 --> 00:45:14,973
Speaker 4: I know there's that stat of I guess Las Vegas

1001
00:45:14,973 --> 00:45:18,173
Speaker 4: now not Oakland playing Kansas City close in the past.

1002
00:45:18,252 --> 00:45:20,453
Speaker 4: It just seems like Kansas City has hit their stride

1003
00:45:20,493 --> 00:45:21,812
Speaker 4: with Rashid Rice coming back.

1004
00:45:22,172 --> 00:45:23,172
Speaker 2: Give me Kansas City in this.

1005
00:45:23,332 --> 00:45:26,133
Speaker 1: So we've now hit five straight weeks or we have

1006
00:45:26,172 --> 00:45:27,973
Speaker 1: a chance to hit five weeks. I will take the

1007
00:45:28,013 --> 00:45:31,613
Speaker 1: Patriots on the road against the Titans, and you will

1008
00:45:31,652 --> 00:45:35,613
Speaker 1: take the Chiefs at home against the Raiders. We have

1009
00:45:35,652 --> 00:45:38,972
Speaker 1: a chance to go to week six here of the

1010
00:45:40,812 --> 00:45:43,812
Speaker 1: of the Survivor League, Drew you unfortunately don't get to participate.

1011
00:45:43,933 --> 00:45:45,452
Speaker 1: Now it's time for the touchdowns.

1012
00:45:46,212 --> 00:45:50,772
Speaker 2: Last week I got one with with Daniel Jones and

1013
00:45:50,812 --> 00:45:52,893
Speaker 2: then no one else did.

1014
00:45:53,372 --> 00:45:56,052
Speaker 1: So Drew went first last week, so he's he will

1015
00:45:56,053 --> 00:45:59,253
Speaker 1: not go this week. So Billy, you get to go first?

1016
00:45:59,453 --> 00:46:02,573
Speaker 1: Who is your or no, wait a minute, yes you do.

1017
00:46:02,852 --> 00:46:04,212
Speaker 1: You get to go first. Who would you like?

1018
00:46:05,372 --> 00:46:08,333
Speaker 4: I am picking a guy that is taking the league

1019
00:46:08,413 --> 00:46:12,812
Speaker 4: by storm. Give me is Cam Scatibo to score a

1020
00:46:12,852 --> 00:46:15,772
Speaker 4: touchdown against the Broncos. I mean, how many touchdowns did

1021
00:46:15,772 --> 00:46:19,212
Speaker 4: he score in the last game was three against against

1022
00:46:19,212 --> 00:46:22,973
Speaker 4: the Eagles. I know Denver maybe have a decent run defense,

1023
00:46:23,053 --> 00:46:26,452
Speaker 4: but Cam is going to do it very well. For

1024
00:46:26,493 --> 00:46:28,852
Speaker 4: only a few years, he'll do it very well.

1025
00:46:28,893 --> 00:46:29,772
Speaker 2: We're gonna do it very well.

1026
00:46:29,812 --> 00:46:34,292
Speaker 1: You're taking the running back Scatabo okay, which means I

1027
00:46:34,332 --> 00:46:36,892
Speaker 1: can take I'm next. I can take either a quarterback

1028
00:46:37,093 --> 00:46:39,772
Speaker 1: or a wide receiver. I've taken three quarterbacks, so I

1029
00:46:39,772 --> 00:46:42,613
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna have to to lay off the quarterback.

1030
00:46:42,652 --> 00:46:44,652
Speaker 1: So I'm going to take a wide receiver. I'm going

1031
00:46:44,732 --> 00:46:49,053
Speaker 1: to take Xavier Worthy against with your Chiefs against the Raiders.

1032
00:46:49,573 --> 00:46:52,493
Speaker 1: I think he gets a touchdown, so I will go

1033
00:46:52,573 --> 00:46:55,613
Speaker 1: with Xavier Worthy. That means Drew, you have to pick

1034
00:46:55,652 --> 00:46:57,892
Speaker 1: a quarterback. You have not picked a quarterback all year,

1035
00:46:58,372 --> 00:47:00,012
Speaker 1: so people can have any of them you want.

1036
00:47:00,053 --> 00:47:06,652
Speaker 2: Who would you like down the Hurts Allen. I'll go

1037
00:47:06,652 --> 00:47:07,053
Speaker 2: with Hurts.

1038
00:47:07,652 --> 00:47:10,173
Speaker 3: Take to get that offense on track, and when they're

1039
00:47:10,172 --> 00:47:12,852
Speaker 3: playing their best, they're to pushing and running. So I'll

1040
00:47:12,852 --> 00:47:14,493
Speaker 3: say Jalen Hurts gets win in Minnesota.

1041
00:47:14,533 --> 00:47:14,932
Speaker 2: All right.

1042
00:47:14,973 --> 00:47:17,852
Speaker 1: So Billy, who all year has taken weird picks but

1043
00:47:17,973 --> 00:47:20,692
Speaker 1: is still tied for the lead. He scatter bows it

1044
00:47:20,812 --> 00:47:24,732
Speaker 1: up against the Broncos. I'm gonna go with Xavier Worthy

1045
00:47:24,732 --> 00:47:28,613
Speaker 1: with my wide receivers, and Drew goes with Jalen Hurts.

1046
00:47:28,652 --> 00:47:29,372
Speaker 2: I forgot the rule.

1047
00:47:29,413 --> 00:47:30,732
Speaker 3: Could I have picked a tight end or is it

1048
00:47:30,772 --> 00:47:34,053
Speaker 3: tight ends? Tight ends wide receivers? Because I got my

1049
00:47:34,093 --> 00:47:36,252
Speaker 3: eyes on Harold Finn and Junior from Bowling Grad all

1050
00:47:36,413 --> 00:47:37,772
Speaker 3: week and Joe, Who's hurt?

1051
00:47:38,533 --> 00:47:41,892
Speaker 2: Dylan Gabriel gets you picked it? To Joe, why do

1052
00:47:41,933 --> 00:47:45,172
Speaker 2: you want Brown's tight end so much? The times I've

1053
00:47:45,172 --> 00:47:47,972
Speaker 2: done it? But this is only week five of us

1054
00:47:47,973 --> 00:47:49,813
Speaker 2: picking and you've picked it? You want to pick Browns

1055
00:47:49,812 --> 00:47:52,252
Speaker 2: tight ends twice? I would have done. He's like four

1056
00:47:52,252 --> 00:47:54,652
Speaker 2: to one. I'm just I'm only one one on my

1057
00:47:54,812 --> 00:47:58,092
Speaker 2: Browns bets one loss. And I told you on week

1058
00:47:58,133 --> 00:48:01,932
Speaker 2: one Harold Fannon is the future of that position in Cleveland. Now, Joe,

1059
00:48:01,973 --> 00:48:04,452
Speaker 2: who's hurt? You got Dylan Gabriel trying to make a

1060
00:48:04,453 --> 00:48:06,772
Speaker 2: statement against Miami. I'm just saying, keep an eye on

1061
00:48:06,772 --> 00:48:07,973
Speaker 2: Harrold Fan and Junior from Bunker.

1062
00:48:21,973 --> 00:48:24,333
Speaker 1: All right, Let's run over some other games we haven't

1063
00:48:24,332 --> 00:48:28,772
Speaker 1: mentioned yet. In the Icy Hot Bowl, does Aaron Rodgers

1064
00:48:28,973 --> 00:48:30,893
Speaker 1: go to five and one, against Joe Flacco.

1065
00:48:31,493 --> 00:48:35,013
Speaker 3: He does saw Rodgers has the it's either the fifth

1066
00:48:35,093 --> 00:48:36,853
Speaker 3: or sixth best quarterback.

1067
00:48:36,453 --> 00:48:37,973
Speaker 2: Rating of his career right now. I don't like that.

1068
00:48:38,413 --> 00:48:40,812
Speaker 2: I wanted this to be a miserable failure too.

1069
00:48:40,933 --> 00:48:43,613
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, four out of the five one MVP when he

1070
00:48:43,613 --> 00:48:44,253
Speaker 3: headed Betters.

1071
00:48:44,533 --> 00:48:47,292
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, next thing, you know, he's going to be like

1072
00:48:47,372 --> 00:48:50,333
Speaker 1: the surgeon General because of how he's playing right now.

1073
00:48:50,533 --> 00:48:53,053
Speaker 2: It helps that he has DK Metcalf, who's also killing

1074
00:48:53,053 --> 00:48:54,133
Speaker 2: it with Pittsburgh. Yeah.

1075
00:48:54,133 --> 00:48:56,892
Speaker 1: I mean both those guys consider washed up. I think

1076
00:48:56,893 --> 00:48:59,493
Speaker 1: they win too. But I would just say Thursday night

1077
00:48:59,573 --> 00:49:03,453
Speaker 1: foot this this this feels like a game that could

1078
00:49:03,533 --> 00:49:06,652
Speaker 1: surprise Flaco on the row.

1079
00:49:06,852 --> 00:49:11,133
Speaker 2: An old rivalry in the AFC North. If you're the Bengals,

1080
00:49:11,453 --> 00:49:14,493
Speaker 2: if you can find a way to win this game, okay,

1081
00:49:15,013 --> 00:49:17,732
Speaker 2: get to three and four, then all of a sudden,

1082
00:49:18,013 --> 00:49:23,292
Speaker 2: you've got the Jets next week, Bears, Steelers, Patriots, Ravens.

1083
00:49:23,613 --> 00:49:25,932
Speaker 1: Like, you can make some movements here. But I think

1084
00:49:25,973 --> 00:49:27,852
Speaker 1: if you if you look at the Bengals to make

1085
00:49:27,893 --> 00:49:29,972
Speaker 1: the playoffs, I kind of think they need to win

1086
00:49:30,053 --> 00:49:30,493
Speaker 1: this one.

1087
00:49:30,812 --> 00:49:33,573
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, this is a desperation game because the Steelers

1088
00:49:33,573 --> 00:49:36,133
Speaker 3: would just further their lead, and they're already up a

1089
00:49:36,133 --> 00:49:36,932
Speaker 3: couple of games on.

1090
00:49:36,893 --> 00:49:38,852
Speaker 2: You as it is, and this is your home too. Yeah,

1091
00:49:38,973 --> 00:49:41,252
Speaker 2: you can't if I mean, you're pretty much mathematic You're

1092
00:49:41,252 --> 00:49:43,372
Speaker 2: not mathematically eliminated, but you're pretty much eliminated if you

1093
00:49:43,453 --> 00:49:45,133
Speaker 2: let Steelers get another one on you in a headhead

1094
00:49:46,292 --> 00:49:52,933
Speaker 2: another battle of terrible Dolphins Browns. I'm gonna I'm gonna

1095
00:49:52,933 --> 00:49:55,093
Speaker 2: fade the Dolphins. Neither one of these teams I want

1096
00:49:55,093 --> 00:49:57,732
Speaker 2: to say I have confidence in, but it's it's in Cleveland,

1097
00:49:58,413 --> 00:50:02,772
Speaker 2: like you, like Dylan Gabriel. Here, it's more of the Browns.

1098
00:50:02,852 --> 00:50:05,972
Speaker 3: Defense is the only elite part of any of this.

1099
00:50:06,133 --> 00:50:09,012
Speaker 3: So I'll trust their defense and hopefully Gabriel can find

1100
00:50:09,053 --> 00:50:09,972
Speaker 3: the end zone once or twice.

1101
00:50:10,053 --> 00:50:12,772
Speaker 1: I'm telling you what I'm worried about. In Chicago one

1102
00:50:12,812 --> 00:50:16,053
Speaker 1: o'clock Bears Saints. This feels like a letdown. You'll go

1103
00:50:16,172 --> 00:50:19,613
Speaker 1: in on Monday night, you go win against the Commanders,

1104
00:50:19,652 --> 00:50:22,013
Speaker 1: then you come home against a bad Saints team and

1105
00:50:22,053 --> 00:50:23,973
Speaker 1: you think, well, of course we're gonna win this one

1106
00:50:24,133 --> 00:50:27,572
Speaker 1: to go four and two. I would stay away from

1107
00:50:27,573 --> 00:50:29,613
Speaker 1: this game as a game where I kind of am

1108
00:50:29,613 --> 00:50:31,613
Speaker 1: a little worried about the Saints here.

1109
00:50:32,172 --> 00:50:34,573
Speaker 2: You don't think four straight wins for Chicago.

1110
00:50:34,933 --> 00:50:37,452
Speaker 1: No, Saints are plus two hundred. The Bears lose a

1111
00:50:37,493 --> 00:50:41,932
Speaker 1: game like this every year and short rest. I am

1112
00:50:42,013 --> 00:50:44,452
Speaker 1: worried about it. I'm gonna take Saints have played web

1113
00:50:44,533 --> 00:50:46,292
Speaker 1: last few weeks, even though they've lost.

1114
00:50:46,172 --> 00:50:48,452
Speaker 3: They have I'm gonna take the Bears. I think you're

1115
00:50:48,933 --> 00:50:50,612
Speaker 3: you're just being a fan. You gotta keep your guard

1116
00:50:50,652 --> 00:50:52,172
Speaker 3: up as a fan. It's not my team, so I

1117
00:50:52,172 --> 00:50:53,932
Speaker 3: can look at it objectively, so you'll be all right,

1118
00:50:54,292 --> 00:50:56,692
Speaker 3: and I hope you're right. Colts go to the Chargers.

1119
00:50:58,493 --> 00:51:01,492
Speaker 3: You don't have to worry about road atmosphere in La.

1120
00:51:01,732 --> 00:51:05,053
Speaker 3: Colts could go to six and one. However, if the

1121
00:51:05,133 --> 00:51:08,053
Speaker 3: Chargers win, they would be on pace to be the

1122
00:51:08,053 --> 00:51:10,012
Speaker 3: one seed in the AFC. So this is a game

1123
00:51:10,053 --> 00:51:10,813
Speaker 3: that could swing.

1124
00:51:11,533 --> 00:51:13,973
Speaker 1: I don't think people think Colton's Chargers is a huge

1125
00:51:14,013 --> 00:51:15,492
Speaker 1: game for the playoffs, but.

1126
00:51:15,493 --> 00:51:15,932
Speaker 2: It might be.

1127
00:51:17,372 --> 00:51:21,333
Speaker 3: Yeah, this game on paper a month ago looks silly.

1128
00:51:21,413 --> 00:51:22,613
Speaker 3: And just to add to it, I don't know if

1129
00:51:22,692 --> 00:51:25,692
Speaker 3: y'all saw the Chargers are wearing like all yellow color

1130
00:51:25,772 --> 00:51:26,613
Speaker 3: Rush uniforms.

1131
00:51:26,812 --> 00:51:29,213
Speaker 2: They want to see those. I think they're called Charger power.

1132
00:51:29,973 --> 00:51:33,013
Speaker 3: Just imagine as much yellow, as much yellow as you

1133
00:51:33,013 --> 00:51:33,933
Speaker 3: could get on your person.

1134
00:51:34,013 --> 00:51:35,932
Speaker 2: That's what they're going for for this game. I want

1135
00:51:35,933 --> 00:51:39,332
Speaker 2: to see this Charger power. That is yellow. A lot

1136
00:51:39,332 --> 00:51:43,252
Speaker 2: of yellow, A lot of yellow. Okay, whoa, So they're

1137
00:51:43,332 --> 00:51:46,852
Speaker 2: they're fired up. They want the yellow going. Wow, they've

1138
00:51:46,893 --> 00:51:48,133
Speaker 2: been disappointing lately. They had to win.

1139
00:51:48,212 --> 00:51:50,013
Speaker 3: I know you said they're in good standing in the

1140
00:51:50,053 --> 00:51:52,493
Speaker 3: playoff race, but they took some losses they shouldn't have.

1141
00:51:52,613 --> 00:51:57,212
Speaker 2: Oh, that is yellow. It looks like a banana does.

1142
00:51:57,212 --> 00:52:00,133
Speaker 2: Look like Herbert's gonna be out there in a banana suit. Yeah,

1143
00:52:00,172 --> 00:52:03,372
Speaker 2: but I kind of like it. Do you think they

1144
00:52:03,413 --> 00:52:04,013
Speaker 2: have hoodies?

1145
00:52:05,133 --> 00:52:08,652
Speaker 3: But yellow is just not like it doesn't motivate me.

1146
00:52:08,893 --> 00:52:11,172
Speaker 3: If I'm a football player, I'm not gonna be walking.

1147
00:52:10,973 --> 00:52:12,492
Speaker 2: Around and yellow. I kind of like it.

1148
00:52:12,573 --> 00:52:15,573
Speaker 1: I think the Chargers their thing, because they're so boring,

1149
00:52:15,573 --> 00:52:19,292
Speaker 1: should just be have the ugliest, brightest colors.

1150
00:52:19,493 --> 00:52:23,773
Speaker 3: They're doing like a retro field, maybe some retro field,

1151
00:52:23,812 --> 00:52:26,652
Speaker 3: Like they're painting it yellow and the old bolt and

1152
00:52:26,692 --> 00:52:29,093
Speaker 3: like they're going back and going to be all of it.

1153
00:52:29,172 --> 00:52:31,652
Speaker 3: But the end zones they're they're going it's a throwback game.

1154
00:52:33,013 --> 00:52:36,172
Speaker 2: Throwback to win. They're extra yellow. I don't know. I'm

1155
00:52:36,212 --> 00:52:36,932
Speaker 2: just tell you.

1156
00:52:37,613 --> 00:52:39,452
Speaker 3: Yellow going to have the old logo in the end

1157
00:52:39,533 --> 00:52:42,053
Speaker 3: zone and okay, they'll probably have Antonio Gates out there

1158
00:52:42,093 --> 00:52:45,412
Speaker 3: flipping a coin. Ladani and Tomlinson flyover. They're just all

1159
00:52:45,453 --> 00:52:47,652
Speaker 3: the throwback chargers you can get. You should, you should

1160
00:52:47,652 --> 00:52:51,053
Speaker 3: bring all those people, famous charger. You know, you get

1161
00:52:51,493 --> 00:52:54,573
Speaker 3: Mike McCoy, bring him back. Once the Titans are down thirty,

1162
00:52:54,652 --> 00:52:56,053
Speaker 3: McCoy can get in the jet and being.

1163
00:52:55,933 --> 00:52:59,052
Speaker 1: Sent san exactly. That's exactly right. Let's make it. That's

1164
00:52:59,093 --> 00:53:03,013
Speaker 1: make it a fun yellow day. The Commanders are playing

1165
00:53:03,053 --> 00:53:06,133
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. This is kind of an important bounce back

1166
00:53:06,252 --> 00:53:09,452
Speaker 1: game for both team. Cowboys lost the Panthers, Commanders lost

1167
00:53:09,493 --> 00:53:09,933
Speaker 1: at home.

1168
00:53:10,533 --> 00:53:13,053
Speaker 2: This is a big game. This will be a huge audience.

1169
00:53:13,292 --> 00:53:15,573
Speaker 2: Who do you like? Commanders?

1170
00:53:16,172 --> 00:53:18,573
Speaker 3: Dak's been awesome, their offense is awesome, but they have

1171
00:53:18,652 --> 00:53:21,613
Speaker 3: a bad loss to the Giants, a tie and then

1172
00:53:21,652 --> 00:53:22,933
Speaker 3: that loss to the Panthers.

1173
00:53:23,573 --> 00:53:28,172
Speaker 2: Your boy, your bears got iber Flus. He's the defensive coordinator.

1174
00:53:28,372 --> 00:53:30,533
Speaker 2: Why the people aren't very happy with him? Right now?

1175
00:53:30,652 --> 00:53:32,812
Speaker 1: Eyen, when a bad sign the sound knew it was

1176
00:53:32,812 --> 00:53:37,813
Speaker 1: a bad sign. I saw who was it that Jerry

1177
00:53:37,893 --> 00:53:40,652
Speaker 1: Jones I think said you want to be in the

1178
00:53:40,732 --> 00:53:44,532
Speaker 1: fox hole with Matt Iberflus. When someone says they want

1179
00:53:44,573 --> 00:53:46,373
Speaker 1: to be in a fox hole with you, I'm worried

1180
00:53:46,413 --> 00:53:46,812
Speaker 1: about you.

1181
00:53:47,413 --> 00:53:49,732
Speaker 2: Billy Gillespie said that to his player fox hole.

1182
00:53:49,973 --> 00:53:52,053
Speaker 1: First of all, people who the first thing they think

1183
00:53:52,053 --> 00:53:56,133
Speaker 1: of as a fox hole, they're probably they're probably a

1184
00:53:56,172 --> 00:54:00,013
Speaker 1: little too into war analogies for me for football. But

1185
00:54:00,093 --> 00:54:01,893
Speaker 1: the moment, I don't want to be in a fox

1186
00:54:01,893 --> 00:54:05,732
Speaker 1: hole with eber Flus. I was for three years and

1187
00:54:05,812 --> 00:54:07,732
Speaker 1: a fall foxhole with Eberflus and.

1188
00:54:07,732 --> 00:54:09,212
Speaker 2: It was never pleasant.

1189
00:54:09,453 --> 00:54:11,932
Speaker 3: Well, they have the worst defense in the NFL in

1190
00:54:12,053 --> 00:54:15,692
Speaker 3: like several categories. Their thirty second Jerry might have even

1191
00:54:15,732 --> 00:54:17,333
Speaker 3: called him out a little bit. It's like, we're fine,

1192
00:54:17,533 --> 00:54:20,493
Speaker 3: the defense just has to improve, like putting some pressure

1193
00:54:20,533 --> 00:54:22,493
Speaker 3: on him. So I'm gonna take the Commanders. They're a

1194
00:54:22,533 --> 00:54:24,453
Speaker 3: wreck on Cowboys are a wreck on that side of

1195
00:54:24,453 --> 00:54:24,772
Speaker 3: the ball.

1196
00:54:24,933 --> 00:54:27,652
Speaker 1: Falcons go to the forty nine Ers. Sunday Night Football.

1197
00:54:27,732 --> 00:54:30,893
Speaker 1: Kind of an odd game on Sunday Night Football. Michael

1198
00:54:30,933 --> 00:54:34,212
Speaker 1: Pennix versus Mac Jones. This might be one Sunday where

1199
00:54:34,252 --> 00:54:37,573
Speaker 1: we can type a little early. I guess when good

1200
00:54:37,613 --> 00:54:41,613
Speaker 1: dinner after the show on Sunday night. I'm just kidding,

1201
00:54:42,172 --> 00:54:43,493
Speaker 1: who do you like in this one?

1202
00:54:44,332 --> 00:54:45,533
Speaker 3: This will be one of those where I have to

1203
00:54:45,533 --> 00:54:49,213
Speaker 3: see who is not in street clothes for the forty

1204
00:54:49,292 --> 00:54:53,332
Speaker 3: nine ers. But I I lean San Francisco regardless of

1205
00:54:53,332 --> 00:54:56,012
Speaker 3: their health, just because of Falcons getting a big win

1206
00:54:56,053 --> 00:54:57,932
Speaker 3: a week aldgo and then having to travel.

1207
00:54:57,613 --> 00:55:01,492
Speaker 2: Out to I'm gonna take San Francisco, but don't bet

1208
00:55:01,573 --> 00:55:04,052
Speaker 2: on the What'd I say bet on the Bills last week?

1209
00:55:04,093 --> 00:55:07,052
Speaker 1: But then what did I say? Never pick a Falcons game?

1210
00:55:08,453 --> 00:55:10,613
Speaker 1: I feel that way again. So I'm gonna take San Francisco,

1211
00:55:10,652 --> 00:55:11,933
Speaker 1: which means Atlanta will win.

1212
00:55:12,013 --> 00:55:13,932
Speaker 3: And we have no idea who will be on that

1213
00:55:13,973 --> 00:55:16,573
Speaker 3: injury report for Sinfrance. They could lose four more players

1214
00:55:16,573 --> 00:55:17,452
Speaker 3: before Sunday.

1215
00:55:17,133 --> 00:55:20,212
Speaker 2: At three through. I think Kittle is trending on returning. Okay,

1216
00:55:20,413 --> 00:55:23,812
Speaker 2: what do you mean you think like sources to Cover zero?

1217
00:55:24,053 --> 00:55:29,452
Speaker 2: Say that who you've been talking to? Hey, I can't

1218
00:55:29,493 --> 00:55:32,532
Speaker 2: reveal my sources. That would defeat the purpose. I need

1219
00:55:32,573 --> 00:55:36,172
Speaker 2: an in wrapaport tweet from Billy from Cover zero reports

1220
00:55:36,372 --> 00:55:41,093
Speaker 2: Billy rap report. Yeah, so you are you willing to

1221
00:55:41,133 --> 00:55:42,892
Speaker 2: stake your credibility on George Kittle.

1222
00:55:42,973 --> 00:55:45,252
Speaker 4: Yeah, Kittle coming back, but not party and I haven't

1223
00:55:45,292 --> 00:55:46,332
Speaker 4: heard enough about him yet.

1224
00:55:47,252 --> 00:55:50,933
Speaker 1: Billy r Sports reports it's part of his victory bundle.

1225
00:55:53,292 --> 00:55:56,252
Speaker 1: Then George Kittle is returning. Monday Night football. We got

1226
00:55:56,292 --> 00:56:00,252
Speaker 1: two games again. First game is a great one Bucks Lions.

1227
00:56:00,613 --> 00:56:02,772
Speaker 1: For the fourth straight week. The Bucks are playing for

1228
00:56:02,812 --> 00:56:09,212
Speaker 1: playoff seating against the Lions in Detroit. I think the Bucks,

1229
00:56:09,413 --> 00:56:12,172
Speaker 1: the Bucks luck falls here and we get a Detroit victory.

1230
00:56:12,172 --> 00:56:12,892
Speaker 1: What are you bout you?

1231
00:56:13,252 --> 00:56:15,692
Speaker 3: I agree the spreads five and a half. I might

1232
00:56:15,732 --> 00:56:17,692
Speaker 3: take the Bucks to cover that. This seems a little

1233
00:56:17,732 --> 00:56:20,372
Speaker 3: hot for two teams that played so well. But the

1234
00:56:20,372 --> 00:56:22,452
Speaker 3: Buck's gonna have to take some losses somewhere, and add

1235
00:56:22,453 --> 00:56:24,013
Speaker 3: Detroit seems like the place to do it.

1236
00:56:24,292 --> 00:56:24,812
Speaker 2: What do you aint?

1237
00:56:25,172 --> 00:56:27,492
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're struggling. I mean Abukah is going to miss

1238
00:56:27,493 --> 00:56:31,573
Speaker 4: some time. Mike Evans trending in the right direction. But no,

1239
00:56:31,652 --> 00:56:33,252
Speaker 4: I don't no guarantee.

1240
00:56:33,573 --> 00:56:38,092
Speaker 2: Billy parlay. Kittle and Evans play injury parlor. They both play.

1241
00:56:38,133 --> 00:56:39,093
Speaker 2: That would be a good parlay.

1242
00:56:39,533 --> 00:56:43,053
Speaker 4: But I agree road game Detroit is a formidable foe.

1243
00:56:43,852 --> 00:56:45,973
Speaker 2: But if Baker wins this one. I'm ready to crown

1244
00:56:46,053 --> 00:56:56,292
Speaker 2: him in week seven. You are a formidable foe. The

1245
00:56:56,332 --> 00:57:01,253
Speaker 2: fits General Campbell, I will meet you on the battlefield.

1246
00:57:01,413 --> 00:57:05,052
Speaker 2: Is a formidable foe. Bill. Are you a foxhold guy

1247
00:57:06,493 --> 00:57:07,172
Speaker 2: in the but.

1248
00:57:07,133 --> 00:57:08,892
Speaker 3: Really a banker goes and wins this and doesn't have

1249
00:57:08,933 --> 00:57:12,212
Speaker 3: an interception as like through three touchdowns or something. This

1250
00:57:12,252 --> 00:57:15,293
Speaker 3: is gonna be an unbelievable season for him already is there's.

1251
00:57:15,133 --> 00:57:17,852
Speaker 2: A ten o'clock Monday night football game. At least they're

1252
00:57:17,852 --> 00:57:20,333
Speaker 2: offsetting him a little better. I like that. Who you got?

1253
00:57:22,293 --> 00:57:26,133
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Seahawks. The Darnold Smith and Jigba

1254
00:57:26,173 --> 00:57:29,052
Speaker 3: connection has been insane this year. He's the leading the league.

1255
00:57:29,053 --> 00:57:30,733
Speaker 3: He's been better than pookin Nakua and he's got I

1256
00:57:30,733 --> 00:57:32,773
Speaker 3: think he's got a pretty big lead on him in

1257
00:57:32,852 --> 00:57:35,412
Speaker 3: receiving yards. So I'm gonna trust them to be able

1258
00:57:35,413 --> 00:57:36,333
Speaker 3: to throw on the Texans.

1259
00:57:36,413 --> 00:57:38,933
Speaker 1: I think I forgot the Texans were a team this year.

1260
00:57:39,973 --> 00:57:42,972
Speaker 1: They started really bad. Like I think about it, We've

1261
00:57:43,013 --> 00:57:45,492
Speaker 1: gone how many shows has it been since we talked

1262
00:57:45,533 --> 00:57:46,333
Speaker 1: about the Texans?

1263
00:57:46,333 --> 00:57:48,452
Speaker 2: Oh, they were on a bye last week. They're a bye.

1264
00:57:48,493 --> 00:57:51,133
Speaker 2: They played the Titans, which is like a bye before that. Yeah,

1265
00:57:51,173 --> 00:57:54,013
Speaker 2: I just I don't think I've thought about the Texans

1266
00:57:54,013 --> 00:57:57,053
Speaker 2: this year. Give me the Texans highlight this season on

1267
00:57:57,253 --> 00:58:00,853
Speaker 2: long rest Monday night night game early. Wait a minute, seriously,

1268
00:58:01,093 --> 00:58:05,453
Speaker 2: give me one thing that's happened with the Texans this years? Okay,

1269
00:58:05,733 --> 00:58:11,412
Speaker 2: but that can you think of a moment? Has there

1270
00:58:11,453 --> 00:58:12,173
Speaker 2: been a headline?

1271
00:58:13,973 --> 00:58:17,012
Speaker 3: They lost their first two games, so people were questioning them.

1272
00:58:17,013 --> 00:58:20,372
Speaker 3: Then maybe three games. I can't think of one thing

1273
00:58:20,413 --> 00:58:21,613
Speaker 3: that's happened with the Texans.

1274
00:58:21,973 --> 00:58:24,133
Speaker 4: Yeah, they lost their first three games and then beat

1275
00:58:24,133 --> 00:58:26,413
Speaker 4: the Titans and the Ravens before they're by Yeah.

1276
00:58:26,293 --> 00:58:29,693
Speaker 2: I'd say shutting off the Titans. Wow, so they played

1277
00:58:29,733 --> 00:58:33,493
Speaker 2: both of your two teams, which is why you two know? Yeah? Yeah,

1278
00:58:33,533 --> 00:58:34,093
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1279
00:58:34,213 --> 00:58:36,293
Speaker 1: I don't think I know anything about them. Well, and

1280
00:58:36,333 --> 00:58:37,773
Speaker 1: the Seahawks are going to win.

1281
00:58:38,253 --> 00:58:40,892
Speaker 2: Drew at home. I'm really racking my brain for like

1282
00:58:40,933 --> 00:58:43,852
Speaker 2: a Texans memory from the first six weeks. Well, I

1283
00:58:44,213 --> 00:58:46,412
Speaker 2: watched an entire game that they played. I don't say

1284
00:58:46,413 --> 00:58:50,413
Speaker 2: this to be rude.

1285
00:58:49,213 --> 00:58:52,533
Speaker 1: But I can't think of a lot of Texan memories

1286
00:58:52,533 --> 00:58:57,452
Speaker 1: from my lifetime. They always play the first playoff games Saturday.

1287
00:58:56,973 --> 00:59:01,613
Speaker 4: And noon against Cincinnati Gats, Cincinnati or the Dolphins. Texans

1288
00:59:01,653 --> 00:59:02,893
Speaker 4: always play at noon.

1289
00:59:03,253 --> 00:59:03,773
Speaker 2: It's the game.

1290
00:59:03,813 --> 00:59:06,733
Speaker 1: You're like, what channel is it on? And there are

1291
00:59:06,773 --> 00:59:10,253
Speaker 1: announcers that you've never seen before. That's the Texans every

1292
00:59:10,293 --> 00:59:13,933
Speaker 1: single year. Yeah, this year they I keep focus on

1293
00:59:13,973 --> 00:59:15,773
Speaker 1: the Titans. That's the Texans game.

1294
00:59:15,813 --> 00:59:18,533
Speaker 3: When cam Ward said, if I'm keeping a buck weep,

1295
00:59:18,613 --> 00:59:20,092
Speaker 3: I won't say Billy Centimore.

1296
00:59:19,733 --> 00:59:21,933
Speaker 2: Works by that. I don't know what they've done.

1297
00:59:22,293 --> 00:59:24,053
Speaker 1: I do have one last final thing, since we were

1298
00:59:24,053 --> 00:59:28,452
Speaker 1: talking about the Texans, Spirodidas said he's one of the

1299
00:59:28,533 --> 00:59:33,493
Speaker 1: guys who does announcing and always gets assigned an AFC

1300
00:59:33,533 --> 00:59:37,253
Speaker 1: South or NFC South game. He said that he knows

1301
00:59:37,372 --> 00:59:41,173
Speaker 1: his assignment so often that his group chat for his

1302
00:59:41,213 --> 00:59:44,453
Speaker 1: broadcast crew is called NFC South Boys.

1303
00:59:48,413 --> 00:59:52,492
Speaker 2: He knows his role leaning into it. I've decided I

1304
00:59:52,653 --> 00:59:53,052
Speaker 2: like him.

1305
00:59:53,453 --> 00:59:56,813
Speaker 1: If you know exactly where you're gonna get assigned, I

1306
00:59:56,852 --> 00:59:59,013
Speaker 1: am going to get the Panthers this week.

1307
00:59:59,413 --> 01:00:01,932
Speaker 2: You have to give him credit. And just that it's

1308
01:00:01,973 --> 01:00:06,372
Speaker 2: that conference adds to the joke. That's the I am

1309
01:00:06,372 --> 01:00:08,173
Speaker 2: a big groove chat. Does he have beef with your

1310
01:00:08,213 --> 01:00:10,892
Speaker 2: boy Chris Myers, who also likes well, he might be

1311
01:00:10,933 --> 01:00:14,173
Speaker 2: in the groove chat place all the rotator. I just

1312
01:00:14,213 --> 01:00:16,852
Speaker 2: looked at are you New Orleans? I just looked up

1313
01:00:17,533 --> 01:00:19,852
Speaker 2: I just looked up Spiro's name on Twitter, and the

1314
01:00:19,893 --> 01:00:21,893
Speaker 2: first thing that came up as a tweet that goes

1315
01:00:22,213 --> 01:00:28,133
Speaker 2: nothing says a New Saints season like Spirodidas and Adam Arschaletta,

1316
01:00:28,372 --> 01:00:31,852
Speaker 2: I like Archi LETTA good ram. There you go.
