Speaker 1: From the King of Sports Books comes the key sports
Speaker 1: podcast Unleashed, presented by bet MGM. Here's your host, Joanna's
Speaker 1: Papas and Olivia Harland Decker. Welcome to Unleashed from bet MGM,
Speaker 1: the King of Sports Books. You know, weird stuff is
Speaker 1: happening in college football and the NFL. Heck even in tennis.
Speaker 1: The Joker got upset. That was crazy. A lot to
Speaker 1: get to in this episode. But Janice has your sugar hangover.
Speaker 1: Wear it off. From our nice dacree day in Vegas.
Speaker 1: It was just nice to feel twenty two again. We
Speaker 1: drank diabetes level alcohol. It was, that's what it was called.
Speaker 1: We just said, give us two diabetes shooters. It was
Speaker 1: fun though. No. I was glad we could finally hang out.
Speaker 1: We we took Vegas by storm and would say, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. It was nice to finally meet in person,
Speaker 1: which was interesting. You're you're a tall You're a tall
Speaker 1: drink of water. I was just gonna say, that's one
Speaker 1: of those times you say you don't look anything like
Speaker 1: you do online. No, you do, you know, I just
Speaker 1: feel like the heels you were in like two in jails.
Speaker 1: I felt that was like a little unnecessary because you're
Speaker 1: ready tall enough. And if we when we do our
Speaker 1: next live event, I just I'm gonna have to wear pumps.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to wear Sylve's just a lone heels
Speaker 1: in order to still feel like a guy around you. Well,
Speaker 1: because it was so much fun and we said it
Speaker 1: on your Instagram story, can we have one more time
Speaker 1: of yelling our favorite thing to say here in Vegas? Yeah? Sure, okay,
Speaker 1: one to three king Yes, but that sounded good. They'll
Speaker 1: stake that up nice. That's actually sounded like a pack
Speaker 1: of hyenas who would be here like on a bachelortte party.
Speaker 1: So that wasn't bad. Yes, yes, and good animal analogy
Speaker 1: because it's a matriarchy. And I'll tell you as we
Speaker 1: got closer to Monday, as Rader fans started really pouring in,
Speaker 1: I mean it just got electric in Vegas. It is
Speaker 1: so much fun to go there. I am glad to
Speaker 1: be home. But overall, great weekend. You know who didn't
Speaker 1: have as good of a weekend as us? The Giants, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and the Packers. But no, Luke NOACKI he is our
Speaker 1: bad beat of the week. The week he placed an
Speaker 1: alternate bet on the Browns at chief Sunday. I would
Speaker 1: have taken this to my man put two grand on it.
Speaker 1: The line was five and a half, but he did
Speaker 1: four and a half. He brought it down. I would
Speaker 1: have thought that's so safe. I put money on five
Speaker 1: and a half, so it would have hit if the
Speaker 1: Chiefs had kicked an extra point. Instead they went for two.
Speaker 1: They were unsuccessful and they win by for his payout
Speaker 1: would have been one. Instead, he lost two grand. Oh
Speaker 1: that's so close yet so far, But you know, I
Speaker 1: would be encouraged by that and be like, you know,
Speaker 1: because with with luck, it means he's got a big
Speaker 1: one coming. Yeah. I would love to catch up with
Speaker 1: our man Luke and see if he put any money
Speaker 1: on the Raiders Ravens game. Maybe he was a little
Speaker 1: bit more successful, but he already's asking for Andy Reid
Speaker 1: to reimburse him. I don't know if that's going to happen,
Speaker 1: but bet MGM will because he's our bad beat of
Speaker 1: the Week winner. So bet MGM gives him a hundred
Speaker 1: dollars in credit to use on his next bet. So
Speaker 1: it's a small consolation prize after he lost two grand. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you know what he may turn that into something,
Speaker 1: So there you go. It could all be for a reason.
Speaker 1: Good luck to you, sir. I saw another bet MGM
Speaker 1: customer put five hundred bucks on a ten game soccer
Speaker 1: parlay and they won fifty thousand ten. I mean, how
Speaker 1: do you know that much about soccer? I didn't even know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what the what the was that American soccer or Venezuelan
Speaker 1: It was solely Venezuelan intramural league. Yeah. Well, the only
Speaker 1: time I've ever done a parlay on soccer was for
Speaker 1: girls middle school, and I was told that's illegal. You
Speaker 1: can't bet on girls middle Yeah. Did they kick you
Speaker 1: out after? And you already can't go within a couple
Speaker 1: of feet of a playground Anyways, I'm surprised you got
Speaker 1: that close. I know, well I got that close and
Speaker 1: then uh yeah, I was just squirted off. You know,
Speaker 1: you losing me up a lot, Jannis. In general, like
Speaker 1: I I say things I never thought I would say
Speaker 1: on the air. But you know who was loose with us?
Speaker 1: Um Maddie. You know our producer, Maddie. He keeps it
Speaker 1: pretty straight. He keeps, oh, you're talking about our man,
Speaker 1: our new best friend, Stephen Jackson. Yes, our new best
Speaker 1: friend Steven Jackson. He's the interview that plays in just
Speaker 1: a little bit. He met us at the Mandalaid Bay
Speaker 1: Beach and we did our interview pool side more or less,
Speaker 1: and oh my gosh, was it fun. You two were wild. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we got some really fun scoops. He was very candid
Speaker 1: with us. You know, he's retired from the NFL, so
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to worry about you know, uh Goodell
Speaker 1: breathing down his back. And he was very honest looking
Speaker 1: back in retrospect, especially about his relationship with Marshall Falk,
Speaker 1: which was very interesting. I'm really glad you asked him
Speaker 1: that question. That was really good. He also talked about
Speaker 1: conference realignment in college football. He went to Oregon State
Speaker 1: and he now serves on the board for the athletic department.
Speaker 1: So they're in the Pact twelve obviously, as we've talked
Speaker 1: about on this show, trying to figure out the next
Speaker 1: direction for the conferences that aren't getting as much love
Speaker 1: right now as SEC. So that's a really interesting conversation
Speaker 1: that's coming up. But for those of you who don't
Speaker 1: know Steven Jackson, he's top twenty in NFL history rushing yards.
Speaker 1: He's the RAMS all time leading rusher and he's a
Speaker 1: very proud Vegas native. We talked all about that. He
Speaker 1: was incredible. You guys are gonna like this. Some of
Speaker 1: y'all probably sell it on Twitter Live. Did you end
Speaker 1: up seeing that you honest? I did see it, and
Speaker 1: it was just as fun watching it as it was
Speaker 1: doing it. I mean, he was absolutely so much fun. Yep.
Speaker 1: So that's coming up. And then at the end of
Speaker 1: the show, as always, we have betting expert Peter Andrew
Speaker 1: joining us to help navigate week two. Make sure you're
Speaker 1: taking notes. Remember last week we started punishment Picks. Yannie
Speaker 1: and I pick a winner on three games at Peter
Speaker 1: Picks All NFL. Whoever comes out on top gets to
Speaker 1: write the outro for the loser to read. I'm already
Speaker 1: blushing at what your sick brain came up for me
Speaker 1: this week because your Steelers one, because you just were
Speaker 1: so confident, Ben Roethlisberger, I don't know, I feel fooled.
Speaker 1: That's what made the difference. Hey, listen, it's always age
Speaker 1: over beauty, remember that he will. That's why I always
Speaker 1: let you go first. Exactly well, speaking of age before beauty, honest,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you go first on this one. It's
Speaker 1: a new segment we have that is our namesake of
Speaker 1: the show Unleashed. Every week, you and I are just
Speaker 1: going to unleashed on what we want to talk about
Speaker 1: that happened that week, and we both have a topic
Speaker 1: and I think it's really good for context. I want
Speaker 1: to play back this tape. It's a reporter in Georgia.
Speaker 1: She's at the Georgia Clemson game doing a postgame report
Speaker 1: in the concourse as fans are filing out. Let's go
Speaker 1: ahead and play your tape and then let's both unleash. Hello,
Speaker 1: how long a times my witness? Please go? It's time
Speaker 1: to unleashed. Yeah, I don't know how you watch that
Speaker 1: clip and blame her. You know those are drunk fans.
Speaker 1: I think they should make alcohol legal at the stadium
Speaker 1: and it should only be marijuana. That would change the
Speaker 1: vibe quite a bit. Then we have Matt Wall who's
Speaker 1: a big Twitter personality, who tweeted that there should be
Speaker 1: no more female reporters uh in football, which really piste
Speaker 1: me off because my co host is a female reporter
Speaker 1: and I got your back. I mean, how horrible a
Speaker 1: take is that we don't want less women watching football.
Speaker 1: We want more. That's the dream. And why why should
Speaker 1: a woman not be allowed to report on football? What's
Speaker 1: your reason? He has no good reason. It's the dream
Speaker 1: for you and your girl to watch football together. It's
Speaker 1: relationship goals. Well, look, I dug into this a little bit.
Speaker 1: And so the reporter's names Lindsay Goff. She's twenty eight,
Speaker 1: she's my age. She is a very accomplished reporter. She's
Speaker 1: the sports director at her station, by the way, so
Speaker 1: they sent her from Savannah, Georgia to go cover this
Speaker 1: game in Charlotte. She has no cameraman, no audio tech,
Speaker 1: no light, no anything. It's a one man band. I've
Speaker 1: done that before in local news. It is brutal. But
Speaker 1: I didn't in in Bay, Wisconsin covering things like cheese festivals,
Speaker 1: so I didn't have to deal with like drunken people
Speaker 1: bothering me. But when I was working for the Atlanta Hawks,
Speaker 1: I would do postgame reports with security, two camera guys,
Speaker 1: lighting guy. You know, a full staff around me more
Speaker 1: or less. Who are my friends. We work together all
Speaker 1: season and they truly are like boxing out drunk fifty
Speaker 1: year old men trying to All they're trying to do
Speaker 1: really is getting the shot, and it's so stupid. And
Speaker 1: I don't understand this as someone who works in TV.
Speaker 1: Why they think that's appealing, funny, good whatever. That being said,
Speaker 1: the reasons she's doing that live hit in the concourse
Speaker 1: is to capture the fan excitement in Vegas last weekend.
Speaker 1: I did a lot of reports on the sports book floor,
Speaker 1: a lot of people drinking, having fun, excited about the game.
Speaker 1: That's why we did it there, That's why we're not
Speaker 1: in a studio. But that being said, I've always had
Speaker 1: this feeling like whatever these men's job are. If their
Speaker 1: t jers, if their businessmen, if they're accountants, bankers, I
Speaker 1: don't know what they all do. But can you imagine
Speaker 1: someone drunken lee getting in their face, touching them, being
Speaker 1: so obnoxious while they're at a critical point of their
Speaker 1: work day, like they're giving a big presentation and someone
Speaker 1: just like, hey, they're getting all in their face. That
Speaker 1: drives me crazy. And it's double edged sword. There's on
Speaker 1: one hand, you can say you're taking it too far.
Speaker 1: What did you expect. It's the end of a game,
Speaker 1: end of a great game, you know, that's what it is.
Speaker 1: But in general, no one should put their hands on
Speaker 1: each other, and no one should put their hands on
Speaker 1: a woman. Um, they were touching her camera, they were
Speaker 1: touching her. It was so inappropriate. But the Matt Walsh
Speaker 1: aspect of it is asinine, and I truly don't believe
Speaker 1: he feels that way. I think he's trying to get clicks.
Speaker 1: So I kind of roll my eyes at that one
Speaker 1: pretty much. Yeah, And if it was a guy reported,
Speaker 1: the same thing would have happened. So I have no
Speaker 1: idea that she was a woman had anything to do
Speaker 1: with it, except that he wanted clicks because he's a troll.
Speaker 1: And uh yeah, and just one more thing with men
Speaker 1: questioning women's place in sports, I would always feel this way, like,
Speaker 1: do you know how many games I've been on a
Speaker 1: sideline at, how many practices, closed media practices I've been at.
Speaker 1: I've been at packer training camp since I was biting ankles.
Speaker 1: I've grown up in this sport and that's just me.
Speaker 1: Every person in this industry who's accomplished anything has a
Speaker 1: story similar. Everyone has a background, a resume, and it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter your gender. So if anyone's questioning women in sports.
Speaker 1: It's like, bro, I know you, you know, went to
Speaker 1: Texas and you're a big Texas fan and you win
Speaker 1: every home game when you were in college, and that's wonderful.
Speaker 1: Like you don't know sports the way people who cover
Speaker 1: it do. That's all say on that. Yeah, And I'll
Speaker 1: just say, listen, Matt, I think the NFL and college
Speaker 1: knows a little bit better than you what guys want
Speaker 1: to look at. And I mean not to not to
Speaker 1: be too superficial, but I'll just be honest. I'd rather
Speaker 1: look at you than named Garoffalo. That's a throwback to
Speaker 1: another the episode, than Goose, than the Goose. So it's like,
Speaker 1: there's nothing hotter than a woman who knows football. Those
Speaker 1: are two of guys favorite things, So stop trying to
Speaker 1: eliminate it. But Yann, it's also you're not helping my
Speaker 1: case because my case is that it's not about looks.
Speaker 1: But also, here's the thing that makes it even harder
Speaker 1: for a woman to be in sports is before I
Speaker 1: go live on air, as I'm trying to get my
Speaker 1: thoughts set, make sure all my numbers are checked, still
Speaker 1: looking over my shoulder to see if a player is
Speaker 1: going to run on the field still try to figure
Speaker 1: out everything. I also have to make sure my lip
Speaker 1: glasses touched up and I don't have flyaway hairs and
Speaker 1: I empowdered up. It's because if I'm not if I
Speaker 1: don't look good on TV, you better believe that's the
Speaker 1: only thing my Twitter timeline is gonna say. So you
Speaker 1: know here, I am boy. I really am going unleashed
Speaker 1: on this first one. But it's exhausting. It's like the
Speaker 1: thing where they say, uh, Ginger Rogers did everything Freda
Speaker 1: Stair did, but backwards and in heels. It's true, but
Speaker 1: also it works the other way too, when I say looks,
Speaker 1: it's not just women. I mean, let's be honest. Sam
Speaker 1: Cassell is never gonna be a reporter. You know, he's
Speaker 1: never gonna be on air talent calling basketball games. There's
Speaker 1: a reason why Joe Bucks on there. He's got a
Speaker 1: cute face. There's a reason why Kevin Harland, he's a
Speaker 1: he's my favorite announce She's great announcer, but he's also
Speaker 1: a cute kid. I mean, you know, to be on air,
Speaker 1: there's a certain thing you gotta have a face for.
Speaker 1: Some people have a face for for TV, and some
Speaker 1: people got a voice for radio. Let's be honest. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's the reason why I'm hiding here. I'm handsome. If
Speaker 1: I wasn't handsome, they wouldn't. Yeah. Yeah. In fact, when
Speaker 1: we were looking for co host, I said, I don't know,
Speaker 1: just give me a good face. That's it. That's what
Speaker 1: you're at the fact that was the only requirement. And
Speaker 1: you know, for a while I felt objectified, but then
Speaker 1: I said, you know what, she's got good taste. She's
Speaker 1: going for the closest thing to John stay where she
Speaker 1: can find my closest. I mean far were you really
Speaker 1: concerned when we set you a ben mg M bikini
Speaker 1: to wear during taping? I was concerned. I was concerned
Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, that was uh, that was yeah that
Speaker 1: I had to contact my lawyn'side. Will not do that
Speaker 1: because you mean, you will not do that without a
Speaker 1: spray tan. I will not do that without a spray
Speaker 1: tan exactly. That was the problem. The problem was I'm
Speaker 1: too pale right now. Okay, Well, that felt really good
Speaker 1: to unleash on that. Thank you very much for indulging me. Honest, Hey,
Speaker 1: let's get to our interview with Steven Jackson. He was incredible.
Speaker 1: He's your new best friend. RAMS all time leading rusher.
Speaker 1: It was last weekend in Vegas. We had too much fun.
Speaker 1: Let's roll it back. Okay, Well, this is such a treat.
Speaker 1: We are live in Las Vegas at the Mandalaid Bay Pool,
Speaker 1: joined by Steven Jackson. He's the eighteenth all time in
Speaker 1: NFL rushing yards rams, all time leading rusher, three time
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl selection, eight straight seasons with over a thousand
Speaker 1: rushing yards, a part of the ten thousand yards rushing Club. YadA, YadA, YadA.
Speaker 1: You're also funny, got a great personality. We've met you
Speaker 1: for ten minutes and we're already in love. Stephen, thanks
Speaker 1: for joining us. Thank you. How you guys doing. We're good.
Speaker 1: He's not getting to you, guys. He is getting to
Speaker 1: be right now. I'm sweating so bad. I'm gonna sit
Speaker 1: like this. You can't see the sweat stage. I don't
Speaker 1: think that's all that's getting to Honest. He had a
Speaker 1: large dacri before you made me. Yeah, I just had
Speaker 1: a spring break cancoon dack. Yeah, but you used to
Speaker 1: probably meeting drunk people because they come to Vegas. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But when you say spring breaking, its fall, it is
Speaker 1: kind of off putting. But is it full? Yeah? Is
Speaker 1: it technically? I think it's still summer technically, So we
Speaker 1: both have to take a shot. Now. We came on prepared, Stephen.
Speaker 1: We were just asking you about that. When you live here,
Speaker 1: it must be annoying people coming in all the time,
Speaker 1: trying to hit you up, go on the strip. What's
Speaker 1: it like living in Las Vegas? You know, my first
Speaker 1: like one one, two years in the NFL, I wanted
Speaker 1: to be the greatest house the veterans coming town. I
Speaker 1: want to show him everything. Then, you know, and then
Speaker 1: like year two, year three, you learned a kind of
Speaker 1: started fibbing like no, I'm not in town. And then
Speaker 1: about year four or five, you just file a lie.
Speaker 1: You're like, no, I could enough to get back if
Speaker 1: they see you like I'm not here. You got to
Speaker 1: make sure not to post on social media when you
Speaker 1: lie like that, because they can look at your stories
Speaker 1: and be like he's in town to down the fourth
Speaker 1: Twitter was brand new, No like no video, No, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's every good. I have to worry about that. You
Speaker 1: are actually credited as being the guy who made the
Speaker 1: NFL start paying attention to Las Vegas for football players.
Speaker 1: Because you don't think of football players. We think in
Speaker 1: Las Vegas because of the heat, Like, how do you
Speaker 1: play that game in this heat without like needing water
Speaker 1: attached to your body? It's hot. The commitment it has
Speaker 1: to be there, like for one, it has to be
Speaker 1: there to June, July, August summer. Training has to happen
Speaker 1: like five am or like after sunset. There's no like
Speaker 1: one pm we're gonna work out, Like no, that doesn't
Speaker 1: happen here, right, So I would say prioritizing your time.
Speaker 1: I was. I was a film study like nut like,
Speaker 1: so I would go watch film all day and a
Speaker 1: c right yeah, but then afternoon, I mean like sunset wise,
Speaker 1: after go work out. I'm on the field. I'm just there.
Speaker 1: I'm working out. And the thing about it is, um,
Speaker 1: the game of football is challenging. A lot of people
Speaker 1: don't know quite the how to measure the talent you're
Speaker 1: going up against. But if you see a guy's passionate heart,
Speaker 1: I mean you got to take a shot on that
Speaker 1: right at least right, And I think that's what happened
Speaker 1: for me. People saw how committed I was to the game,
Speaker 1: and then it just took off from there. Yeah, do
Speaker 1: you think if you go, if a person lives in
Speaker 1: Vegas and then they go to Hell, do you think
Speaker 1: they're just going that bad? No? So Funny Funny said, So,
Speaker 1: I just I was smoking a cigar with my wife
Speaker 1: the other night. I was on about No she just
Speaker 1: kind of like takes in the smoke and hates it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't want my hair to smell politics
Speaker 1: not casting already, but seriously, I was just smoking to
Speaker 1: the Garden of the Night on the balcony and like,
Speaker 1: literally I'm watching the torch go up. How like, damn,
Speaker 1: I don't want to go to hill. So it doesn't
Speaker 1: make it any better, you know, I'll be like, no,
Speaker 1: what this says? So bad? What is this one oh six?
Speaker 1: That's like that's like August and Vegas. What is the
Speaker 1: best month here? May even late September, right late September now,
Speaker 1: right now it's still hanging on. Good lord. Okay, so
Speaker 1: that is true. Janna said that you did put the
Speaker 1: Vegas area on the map for scouters at the college level.
Speaker 1: Two You went to Oregon State and we were just talking.
Speaker 1: It was the Pact ten then now it's obviously the
Speaker 1: Pact twelve. There's so much talk about realignment and what
Speaker 1: the other conferences are going to do with the departure
Speaker 1: of Texas and know you from the Big twelve and
Speaker 1: teams like like the Organs, the u c l A,
Speaker 1: and USCS and no offense, but like the big ticket
Speaker 1: names in the PAC twelve are trying to schedule games
Speaker 1: that can keep their ratings high from television perspective. Jannest,
Speaker 1: we were talking about that a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: I know you're on the board with Oregon State. What
Speaker 1: do you guys talk about that would be the best,
Speaker 1: most advantageous thing for the PAC twelve to stay as
Speaker 1: relevant as they can. I think it's important. I just
Speaker 1: used my example for instance, the early two thousand's, My
Speaker 1: primetime games are either like late night Coast is already sleep,
Speaker 1: or they're like Thursday, you know, trying to get like
Speaker 1: a pop game on Thursday night, and that just wasn't
Speaker 1: turning over the eyeballs wasn't there. So I think it's
Speaker 1: really smart that the PAC twelve was going in the
Speaker 1: direction of trying to have an alliance with the Big
Speaker 1: ten in the A c C. The conversation that we're
Speaker 1: having is is making sure that even the smaller schools
Speaker 1: in those conferences still get the notoriety. Right, So U S, C,
Speaker 1: U C l A, Ohio State, those schools, clems in
Speaker 1: those schools will get their attention. These are ly but
Speaker 1: the smaller schools Oregon State, Washington State, those kind of schools.
Speaker 1: It's supporting that you still get markuee matchups so you
Speaker 1: can recruit other kids like myself. Sure you might get look,
Speaker 1: you might get peeked over and not get recruited for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, but you can still go on those conferences
Speaker 1: and know, you guys, you have a big game on
Speaker 1: the on the schedule, and if you win your division,
Speaker 1: you still have a big game at the end of
Speaker 1: the year. Why is it important for you to still
Speaker 1: serve on the board. Why do college athletics still stay
Speaker 1: in your daily life? Now? You know, I think what
Speaker 1: college athletics. I think it's it's honestly, the athletes still
Speaker 1: care about the sport. For sure. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: say a professional jone, but it's a difference. So collegiately,
Speaker 1: I want to see those young those young people be
Speaker 1: able to do what they love and even if it
Speaker 1: runs out after four years, they maximize that. I think
Speaker 1: a lot of times as you get older, you progress
Speaker 1: through life, we as adults, we look back and like,
Speaker 1: I wish I did this, I wish I did that
Speaker 1: to me being a board memory, just making sure that
Speaker 1: those young people get to maximize whatever it supposure they
Speaker 1: have then and I have to look back like, damn,
Speaker 1: I wish that's really special. Because we talked to so
Speaker 1: many athletes on this show and of every sport, and
Speaker 1: I always usually asked that is, even though you had
Speaker 1: all this professional success, I bet you didn't love playing
Speaker 1: on a team as much as you did in college.
Speaker 1: Is that true for you? That is true? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: end of the week, it's like something about it like
Speaker 1: you calling your friends like what we're doing tonight, and
Speaker 1: a college town like Corvallis, Oregon, you can't duplicate that
Speaker 1: and allows you to grow up and mature where you
Speaker 1: have the fun and be a youth, but at the
Speaker 1: same time you have the privacy that most people don't
Speaker 1: have now and it's just not there. Yeah. But the
Speaker 1: good thing about the pros back then is he gets money. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that money comes in that check back. Then. Are you
Speaker 1: seeing the numbers now? The numbers now great, But I
Speaker 1: mean I saw what his contract was not bad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this guy loves himself in Wikipedia. I love Wikipedia and
Speaker 1: see what the numbers are. What do you feel about
Speaker 1: college players now finally being able to get a little
Speaker 1: get a back of the wrong. I love it. I'm
Speaker 1: an advocate for it. I just hope that the kids
Speaker 1: are smart enough to do a few things. Um one,
Speaker 1: be disciplined and setting a day's schedule right, you gotta
Speaker 1: maximize opportunities. You gotta still be committed to the school,
Speaker 1: bet your education so that it be committed to the
Speaker 1: sport that you're in, because that's why we're paying attention.
Speaker 1: But lastly, when you get the bag is taking care
Speaker 1: of it and growing it. So it's like when I
Speaker 1: talk to young people and explain to them my my
Speaker 1: theory on it is, it's coming in your raw talent.
Speaker 1: How do you get better? You gotta study film, you
Speaker 1: gotta know the plays, you gotta do all these things.
Speaker 1: So when you start getting the bag, you gotta take
Speaker 1: care of the bag. So it's a responsibility with it.
Speaker 1: So hope these young people are getting it and the
Speaker 1: more they become I think more in the market and
Speaker 1: a way that making a dollar. It's harder than what
Speaker 1: it really it really is. The more they are actually
Speaker 1: you know, valuing right, So you gotta know what to
Speaker 1: do with the money at that age, the chances that
Speaker 1: you're gonna invest it. You gotta be taught to do
Speaker 1: that because I know if I got that money when
Speaker 1: I'm seventeen eighteen, Ye, how Ya'm going on a day? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm doing I'm not I'm not investing in companies that
Speaker 1: have a huge upside. The first two things I'm doing,
Speaker 1: I'm going on a date and I'm gonna fill up
Speaker 1: the tank Stringy car dealership. They won't need to They'll
Speaker 1: get car car deals with these dealerships. I mean, the
Speaker 1: opportunities are endless. But then you see someone like Graandmarts,
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin quarterback. He had a whole scheme, a logo.
Speaker 1: You would have thought he's Tom Brady horrible Week one.
Speaker 1: So I think what it does is it teaches you, Okay,
Speaker 1: you want all this best players, Only the top tier
Speaker 1: guys are going to get money. I have a story.
Speaker 1: I don't know how long we have story about that.
Speaker 1: So my freshman, no, my sophone year in college, I
Speaker 1: tried to do a party promotion thing. Okay, bought out
Speaker 1: of ballroom twelve hundred dollars in the roommatebe split it bucks.
Speaker 1: But our rintless hunt allars a month, So splitting that
Speaker 1: three hundred dollars that normally split that three hundred and
Speaker 1: have to you know, stretch it over the month. Go
Speaker 1: all in on a party first business venture. Our game
Speaker 1: gets flat. This is what TVs Sports is trying to do.
Speaker 1: College football. Yeah, so our game goes from eleven o'clock
Speaker 1: or two o'clock kick off to the seven pm kickoff.
Speaker 1: The ball room is not flexible and we lose. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm depeating on my legs. Yeah. I mean that's again,
Speaker 1: that's growth, that's learning. So these young people will have
Speaker 1: to take those els and have to learn from those
Speaker 1: elves as you as you side at the West class quarterback.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, there's gonna be some young
Speaker 1: people that is inevitable. Their talent is going to take
Speaker 1: them to the next level. So I would prefer them
Speaker 1: to make their mistakes now before they get that big
Speaker 1: bag and then you screw it and then we're on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: now you got your big bag or your first bag.
Speaker 1: I guess two thousand four draft overall by the Rams,
Speaker 1: the first running back off the board, which is crazy.
Speaker 1: That was the first running back off the board. And
Speaker 1: such a great draft class. Obviously you were just telling us.
Speaker 1: You go to the Rams, you go to St. Louis,
Speaker 1: and who do you see in the way him He
Speaker 1: thought was going to be QB one. Yeah. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: so for people that don't know when the first round there,
Speaker 1: particularly gets flown out and like, next minute, you're just selected.
Speaker 1: So I get the Saint Littlest. The next day, we'reetting
Speaker 1: ready to do do a huge press conference. Kurt Waterers on
Speaker 1: the tread and mail. I'm like, holy crap. And you know,
Speaker 1: obviously you know who that is. Go shake his hand.
Speaker 1: He's on the tramp like he's walking right, I'm shaking
Speaker 1: his hand kind of thing. And you know, I can't
Speaker 1: wait to practice. Blah blah blah blah, fan boy kind
Speaker 1: of thing. And he's like, well, I just got words
Speaker 1: and I'm going to New York. What he got traded.
Speaker 1: He's gonna, you know, be the mentor and back up
Speaker 1: Eli Manning the first pick in that draft. So I'm like, whoa.
Speaker 1: So this thing in the NFL is a true business. Right,
Speaker 1: So like the guy you think your teammates at your teammate,
Speaker 1: I have a huge learning curve. Yeah, that's where we learned.
Speaker 1: It's a business. You came in obviously behind Marshall Falk,
Speaker 1: but he was towards the end of his career that
Speaker 1: year you didn't play, he played. Did he mentor you
Speaker 1: the way old quarterbacks meant their young quarterbacks? Or was
Speaker 1: more competitive? I mean it depends on the quarter there
Speaker 1: is it's my breath far Aaron Rodgers, are you that's
Speaker 1: my question? As a man, I appreciates, you know, points,
Speaker 1: I appreciate. I appreciate the directors speak direct to you.
Speaker 1: Um to start, Yes, he was very nice. When you
Speaker 1: see the talent, that makes anybody back up, you know right,
Speaker 1: So let's just say that the answer and he's looking
Speaker 1: to be on air behind you. You're like, wait, wait,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, kid, right, so obviously hit him ti heart.
Speaker 1: So obviously to answer the question, it started off great,
Speaker 1: My talent is started to flourish. There wasn't. There was
Speaker 1: some riff. Obviously, he's like he's a Hall of Famer
Speaker 1: and I was on the rise, So there was friction.
Speaker 1: What I what we have learned that maturity and growth is. Um,
Speaker 1: we're all great. You You were a physical running you
Speaker 1: were like you were a dude who like defenders. I'm
Speaker 1: sure at times like I want to tackle them, but
Speaker 1: I also want to stay in this game. Do you
Speaker 1: think you deserved a nickname? I mean you were kind
Speaker 1: of beast mode before Beast mode, that was kind of
Speaker 1: your style. I shied away from that. You didn't want
Speaker 1: to I didn't want the beast mode Mark Um. And
Speaker 1: the reason being is because damn interviews putting in some Yeah,
Speaker 1: if he starts crying, close up, blame it on the
Speaker 1: cancer sign. Tell us everything what happened today in Vegas
Speaker 1: or it's on a podcastcast. So I would say this.
Speaker 1: I didn't want the nickname the Marquis of the Beast
Speaker 1: is because I felt what I had to offer the
Speaker 1: sport intellectually, I was more than that. To be honest
Speaker 1: with you, then you could have been the books. I
Speaker 1: mean I could have been the books. X man. I
Speaker 1: don't know, it's just too long, too long on Mark, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what it is. It's crazy. My dad, my
Speaker 1: dad played college football, you know, smaller program. It's like
Speaker 1: a university New York Division three, but he wanted to
Speaker 1: be a football coach. Was this first day. You have
Speaker 1: to be smart to be a football team. That's like
Speaker 1: one of the stereotypes. That's not true. Football players are
Speaker 1: probably the smartest athletes because you gotta watch film, you
Speaker 1: gotta read books, you gotta always plays. It's like you
Speaker 1: have That's why football players are always smart. I believe that.
Speaker 1: And then on top of that, you have to own
Speaker 1: up for the the play, right, either you make a
Speaker 1: play you don't. And what I've learned to retirement, accountability
Speaker 1: is not as like it's not a bitchmark as much
Speaker 1: as it is outside the NFL. Right, right, I got
Speaker 1: the captain and as the team player, you're like, yo,
Speaker 1: did you do your job? And then like you get
Speaker 1: into the real where like did you do your job?
Speaker 1: And like I had a late night letters, I mean
Speaker 1: you can't have let you can't do that when you
Speaker 1: have a teammates who you're accountable to me, you can
Speaker 1: but right, yeah, well if you don't know what he's
Speaker 1: talking about. LT used to have a lot of late
Speaker 1: nights and then come in he said, yeah, I heard stories.
Speaker 1: He used to just ask Phil Sims, like who are
Speaker 1: we playing now you know what we're going but like
Speaker 1: the best, the best to this whole like last nine seconds. Now,
Speaker 1: now that there's this team here, do you feel like
Speaker 1: away teams here are going to have to handle themselves
Speaker 1: differently or have certain rules in place. But also in
Speaker 1: the NBA, like there's jokes. You know when a team
Speaker 1: comes to Atlanta, you're not going to get the best
Speaker 1: version of them because they're gonna fund in Atlanta whatever
Speaker 1: it is. Yea, yeah, I don't know. But in the NFL,
Speaker 1: you of curfew, Yeah, n A, don't no hangover happened.
Speaker 1: It's a longer six hours tomorrow. Give your husband a curfew?
Speaker 1: Probably the right you go, Sam, I want my husband
Speaker 1: plays in the NBA. That's why I asked. So we've
Speaker 1: we've been laughing about that though, because you know, it
Speaker 1: would be a home game wherever he played for the Clippers,
Speaker 1: and we'd l a. You know, you know when a
Speaker 1: team comes to late, they're gonna have fun, Yeah, shooting
Speaker 1: around like two pm? Yeah, I know, so jealous. Yeah
Speaker 1: what other sports were you good at? So? I played?
Speaker 1: I played basketball and also ran track. Um probably realistically
Speaker 1: basketball may have been an outlet football. I mean track.
Speaker 1: I mean they just always announced me as like Lane three,
Speaker 1: the football player Stephen Jackson. Well get out of here.
Speaker 1: You your name. I knew you're gonna say that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: defluely got to talk about So there's two Stephen Jackson's
Speaker 1: when everyone you know, when when I heard first we
Speaker 1: haven't Steven Jackson, was like, is the football player or
Speaker 1: the basketball player? Stephen Jackson basketball player? Obviously was a
Speaker 1: part of the Alis in the Palace, a great documentary
Speaker 1: out now mouis in the Palace. This is what I
Speaker 1: found interesting because I did a little research on you.
Speaker 1: Obviously I watched you play, but there was a time, uh,
Speaker 1: there was a an incident where you scored a touchdown
Speaker 1: and a player through a drink on you remember that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course fans can I curse fucking animals, But was
Speaker 1: there ever a moment that you wanted to do your
Speaker 1: own like, you know, you wanted to like what team
Speaker 1: had the most disrespectful fans that you like? Man, we
Speaker 1: find I would go on those stands, clean up you
Speaker 1: average fucking humans. Because I enjoyed the Mouse in the Palace,
Speaker 1: just watching athletes go up the fucking bunch regular people
Speaker 1: in the face should happen more often? Yeah, you would
Speaker 1: think it was they get this, I mean, get a
Speaker 1: drink thrown on you was disrespectfu ting you didn't even
Speaker 1: celebrate or anything. The guy just drink on you. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I mean I was having a good day, so he
Speaker 1: just had enough. Yeah, yeah he can, they can sign
Speaker 1: me for maybe he could to answer the question, I mean, great,
Speaker 1: quite know what's every accent? Like all my guys have
Speaker 1: been interviewed, um between Oakland and Philly obviously right, Philly
Speaker 1: has just like welcome me. They announced the starters of
Speaker 1: the game and they say, f you right, right, so
Speaker 1: I've started running back Stephen Jackson, right, you get it right?
Speaker 1: That was a nice welcoming. And I guess another one
Speaker 1: on I guess I didn't realize that would happened. My
Speaker 1: era in St. Louis is bad really, so before I
Speaker 1: was able to upgrade my parents to a suite, they
Speaker 1: said the normal stance. I've never heard that about Rams fans. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean when you go three and thirteen four men
Speaker 1: in consecutive years, like you know, so I had a
Speaker 1: stretch part one six games in three years. So it
Speaker 1: was some bad football being played. And when you're the
Speaker 1: marquee guy. Even if it's not your fault, it's still
Speaker 1: your fault. So it got ugly and I had to
Speaker 1: move my parents at the sweets. Yeah yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: almost wish I could say, like, Philly, Yeah, do you
Speaker 1: think one thing? You think if they just made alcohol
Speaker 1: legal and football games and just made weed legal, it
Speaker 1: will be a different vibe in there a little more.
Speaker 1: You're same for the players in the game, same fans.
Speaker 1: If they just said, hey, you know what, you can't
Speaker 1: drink it here, but you can smoke as much weed
Speaker 1: as possible. Oh, that's interesting. That's just stands on going
Speaker 1: through the roof. I just buying, I resell it, you know,
Speaker 1: because it would be four season. People just be giggled
Speaker 1: and be like, hey, I'm sorry. Yeah, yeah, something to
Speaker 1: think about. Yeah. Are you saying St. Louis number one
Speaker 1: most disrespectful Philly. I wouldn't say disrespectful. It was my
Speaker 1: my my own personal experience that was rough to have
Speaker 1: your parents disrespect before as a like on the road
Speaker 1: opponent is between Oakland or Philly, that's expect it is
Speaker 1: animals in Philly. Why Why wasn't call off guard right
Speaker 1: when it happened. You were just talking about your parents
Speaker 1: coming to games, and I know your family is so important.
Speaker 1: You've brought him up a couple of times since we've
Speaker 1: been here. That's so cool. Your dreadlocks that we picture
Speaker 1: you playing, and you decaid that they had some significance
Speaker 1: towards your family. What was that significance? So I started
Speaker 1: growing my locks out in high school and obviously I
Speaker 1: knew I was talented enough to go to at least
Speaker 1: two you know, college football, So I wanted to take
Speaker 1: my family on the journey and bonding my hair. It
Speaker 1: was more like me taking them on this next ride
Speaker 1: and the ride can see you to happen in the NFL.
Speaker 1: But that's actually I saw growing my hair. It was
Speaker 1: the bond of you know me and as a family
Speaker 1: being so close knit. I was the first of the
Speaker 1: fan of golf to college. So it's like I'm on
Speaker 1: my own journey and something to bring you along significantly.
Speaker 1: I like that story. And your family now is everyone
Speaker 1: in Vegas now? And I know you Your son is
Speaker 1: a football game tonight. He's a freshman in high school.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. Is wide receiver DV no interest in playing
Speaker 1: running back? I'm not surprised, but you know, a pretty
Speaker 1: big guy. So we're also talking about that he's a freshman,
Speaker 1: he's already five ten one eighties. I'm like, okay, but yeah,
Speaker 1: but seriously, you said you didn't have him played football
Speaker 1: until now his freshman year of high school. That's really rare,
Speaker 1: especially for the son of an NFL player. Why do
Speaker 1: you make that decision because now you see people having
Speaker 1: a different approach to you sports. Yeah. So on my
Speaker 1: on my own Instagram, I do a little series called Legends,
Speaker 1: a highlight different players I respected growing up. And the
Speaker 1: more I started digging into my favorite players of the past,
Speaker 1: the middle more I realized that like Curtis Martin and
Speaker 1: Jerome Beaddess micro straighthand some of these guys that playing
Speaker 1: football too, they were high schoolers and like they're not
Speaker 1: only did they play long career, they Hall of famers.
Speaker 1: Giving the reps eight or nine years old didn't make sense.
Speaker 1: And I was that kid that did place and I
Speaker 1: was seven, so I had that experience and seeing the
Speaker 1: difference in um, the sport is more violent, guys are bigger, stronger, faster.
Speaker 1: So I started I said, hey, if there's a curb
Speaker 1: and learning the sport. I believe in myself to get
Speaker 1: them ready for that. So you did it for safety reasons,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, and not burning out burning out? Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you ever think about telling them to maybe just
Speaker 1: become a kicker? No, I told them to. You really
Speaker 1: pursued backup quarterback. They's got a good job. Sit on
Speaker 1: the sidelines and long career, long backup quarterbacks. There's some
Speaker 1: backup quarterbacks sixteen years. Some kids have never know their names. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they don't care, and they have a great life. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they don't get hurt, they collect their check, good life.
Speaker 1: You know. Scout team quarterback hand the ball out to
Speaker 1: the running bad Yeah. Okay, speaking of running backs this year,
Speaker 1: there's so many good ones. Derrick Henry seems to be
Speaker 1: the front runner to have another two thousand yard season,
Speaker 1: potentially break NFL rushing records with the seventeenth game. Now,
Speaker 1: is he the gold standard in season? Or who's running
Speaker 1: back you maybe like more than him, you know as
Speaker 1: a big running as a big back and then runner.
Speaker 1: Obviously people would assume there's an affinity there and it is. Um.
Speaker 1: I love I love his game. I admire everything he's
Speaker 1: done and even to see his build up because early
Speaker 1: in his career he didn't start off too hot, but
Speaker 1: progressively he's gotten really hot and he's probably he is
Speaker 1: the best running back in the league. But I will
Speaker 1: be lining with you because I did come in under
Speaker 1: the greatest Seawan Turf and under Mike Martz. I believe
Speaker 1: a running back should be able to do everything on
Speaker 1: the football right, So me being a bigger guy coming
Speaker 1: in and to you know, relieve Marshall fault, there was
Speaker 1: not like no catching out the backfield right like you
Speaker 1: gotta do it. So I have a tremendous respect for
Speaker 1: that craft and that ability to do so. So I
Speaker 1: love I love Henry, but you like but what Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of a seven running backs. Okay, so
Speaker 1: not just one. I love Dalvin Cook, I love Alvin Kamara.
Speaker 1: There's a number of guys that I enjoyed their game.
Speaker 1: Who would I consider the best is hard. I'm just
Speaker 1: really hard on the position, and obviously I played it
Speaker 1: for so long. I believe in longevity. I believe in
Speaker 1: being consistent in all those things and being able to
Speaker 1: catch and be able to between the lunch yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: So all these guys can't catch the ball, how about
Speaker 1: to say, But like, can you explain to the layman,
Speaker 1: like why is that so hard at that position? Because
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like a viewer And you know NFL
Speaker 1: fans they watch games like catch the ball, Like, why
Speaker 1: is that hard? I really think because the guy that's
Speaker 1: typically carrying the football is one he has hands of stone,
Speaker 1: but he has really nifty feet and he could get
Speaker 1: out of tight spaces. I get it. So like that's
Speaker 1: what he's always thinking about. You're thinking down, you're thinking
Speaker 1: just be elusive, and you can careless with the ball.
Speaker 1: So that's why it typically happens. Um no excuse because
Speaker 1: I've I've come from the era that that's everybody's paycheck. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you fumbled the ball. Now there's another possession for the
Speaker 1: other team. Were more than likely going to lose. So
Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of sympathy for fumblers, and
Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of sympathy for people that
Speaker 1: can't catch the ball. I'm not saying that again about Henry.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is I have a respect for guys
Speaker 1: that could do everything. Speaking of fumbles, Ezekiel Elliott, just
Speaker 1: glad your son's not a running back because you'd be
Speaker 1: hard on us. I'm hard on what do you mean?
Speaker 1: Then he'll be great when he becomes a running back.
Speaker 1: By a senior year, you can up running back. It's yeah.
Speaker 1: If you have to pick a team to join this year,
Speaker 1: who you really like the quarterback and you like the
Speaker 1: offensive line? What's a team you'd want to insert yourself
Speaker 1: in right now? I want to play for the Rams.
Speaker 1: I want to play. I want to play for McVey.
Speaker 1: I want to and see what my talent's been doing
Speaker 1: his offense. I would like to see what SOFI stadiums
Speaker 1: like from the ground level. And I just really believe
Speaker 1: in what they have built over the last couple of years.
Speaker 1: And crazy enough, I would like to compete against Aaron
Speaker 1: Donald and practice every day. I'm that kind of competitor,
Speaker 1: like like, that's what I enjoy. I think the two
Speaker 1: of us going to get to each other, especially when
Speaker 1: I was at the height of my career, I think
Speaker 1: we will only make each other better. Yeah, was that
Speaker 1: what made you great was your competitiveness Because obviously you
Speaker 1: got the talent, you got the toughness, you got the strength,
Speaker 1: But your first year in Oregon not huge numbers. First
Speaker 1: year in the league. Not great numbers, but then you
Speaker 1: just come out of nowhere. That's what it seems like.
Speaker 1: But it's competitives and putting in the work, right it is.
Speaker 1: You know, anytime someone presents a challenge that I can't
Speaker 1: do anything, I'm all in on proving that person or
Speaker 1: that situation wrong. And I think for so long. You know,
Speaker 1: it worked out for me health wise. But St. Louis,
Speaker 1: I mean, we wasn't good. I mean, it just all
Speaker 1: just gone through. But I didn't want to leave that
Speaker 1: because I just felt like I wanted to be around
Speaker 1: when the turn happened. I like that loyalty. Yeah, when
Speaker 1: are you getting in the Hall of Fame? Enough with
Speaker 1: the bullshit? You're a Hall of Fame candidate. When's it happening?
Speaker 1: And are you you? You know you should be in
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame? Right my mom says, So my
Speaker 1: mom told me I should I should be a model.
Speaker 1: So you've got some crazy stats we were looking at earlier, right, Like,
Speaker 1: there's only a couple of running backs ahead of you
Speaker 1: who've gotten in the hall. Got in the hall, and
Speaker 1: your eighteenth all time rushing so you're right there in
Speaker 1: that sweet spot. Yeah, you know, I think there's argument
Speaker 1: to be said if you consider what I had to
Speaker 1: endure and you look at my numbers compared to who
Speaker 1: was in the hall. I think there's a hell of
Speaker 1: an argument for myself. But if you want to predicate
Speaker 1: it all like postseason, I don't have. I don't have
Speaker 1: you know, a length the standard. But that's a team,
Speaker 1: that's a team game, that's the team at the You
Speaker 1: gotta tell people voting that they say that they know,
Speaker 1: you know this touchdown with the with the Patriots and
Speaker 1: playoff game. I did well season. Yeah you did play
Speaker 1: for Belichick? Um there's room. Is he human? Did you
Speaker 1: ever see anyone plug him in or charge him up?
Speaker 1: You know, I did not see him. The thing about
Speaker 1: it answer, So one of my first moments with Coach
Speaker 1: Belichick playing for him, right, playing for him. It's like
Speaker 1: five six am in the morning, and uh, I joined
Speaker 1: the team late in the season, so you got to
Speaker 1: get their first and pressure kind of and he's on
Speaker 1: the he's on a treadmill watching film, taking like everything
Speaker 1: in one and it's like, yo, this is the head coach.
Speaker 1: Like fuck, So the standard is set by Coach Belichick.
Speaker 1: Excuse my mouth A game, guys. The standard is set
Speaker 1: by Coach Belichick. I think he is probably one of
Speaker 1: the smartest football genius is in the game. But what
Speaker 1: he portrays, how how he presents something the media is
Speaker 1: not who he is interested What do you mean he's
Speaker 1: not that he's really a cool guy. Yeah, you can
Speaker 1: have a drink with him. I would love to hang
Speaker 1: out with him in Vegas. How about that? So he's
Speaker 1: hang out with Level New Heights, right news, yeah street
Speaker 1: that right before he gets in front of the media,
Speaker 1: he's sucking high five and guys like drink Yeah, yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's Brady the same like when now we're seeing Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay Tampa Bay Brady, which is like everyone's new favorite
Speaker 1: favorite version of him. But was he not what we
Speaker 1: originally thought? You think He's absolutely not what people thought. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not. Yeah again. I joined the team late, so
Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time with the head coach
Speaker 1: and the quarterback to get up to speed on the playbook.
Speaker 1: And it just happened. I was with two Hall of famers,
Speaker 1: a future Hall of famers, and spending time with them,
Speaker 1: you realize that people hate them because of the success
Speaker 1: who they are, and they're like really cool people. That's awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah that makes sense. Yeah, yeah, i mean he let it.
Speaker 1: He let his personality show. Now, yeah, when he was
Speaker 1: having experience New England. Yeah, I mean he came in
Speaker 1: with a rookie, right, So you think that's just what
Speaker 1: the NFL is. And then you get a fresher breath there,
Speaker 1: because a lot of our time we spent about like,
Speaker 1: how wasn't in St. Louis, How wasn't in Atlanta? And
Speaker 1: I'm sharing this with a guy that you know, we
Speaker 1: all considered the greatest. So I'm telling him, like, yo,
Speaker 1: so this team, this is how it worked, this team,
Speaker 1: this is what we did for him. He wouldn't know
Speaker 1: no better, right, So for us to see, you know,
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Tom, we're like, oh, this guy is cool,
Speaker 1: but that's who he really was. So you're saying the
Speaker 1: culture of the Patriots was brainwash up, you know. And
Speaker 1: then when he got Florida's contagious and playing Florida, you know,
Speaker 1: you catch up. Yeah, you just catch the Florida. Well,
Speaker 1: it's like when you when a couple gets divorced and
Speaker 1: one is just like outdating and they're all they're rich
Speaker 1: and they look better than ever that's Tom Brady and
Speaker 1: tample Bag. You think you think Belichick's look a little
Speaker 1: upset because you know the thing was the big thing
Speaker 1: was like was it Brady or was it Belichick? I
Speaker 1: think Tom just proved it's Tom. It's terrific. Well I
Speaker 1: met you out of Jacksonville the wall, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I thought it was interested and he
Speaker 1: went after Cam Newton. Right. So after being after some bad,
Speaker 1: bad breakups, you tend to try to do the opposite. Yeah,
Speaker 1: now they're going back to a well speaking, just to
Speaker 1: finish up on the Patriots. They play in Miami. That's
Speaker 1: a huge game. Obviously they played twice this season, your
Speaker 1: former Patriot, even if it was or a brief moment
Speaker 1: in time. What do you think of them this season
Speaker 1: as they are trying to get back to that great success.
Speaker 1: I think that division comes down to Buffalo in New England.
Speaker 1: I think Buffalo gets them not. I just think it's
Speaker 1: their time. You know, when you when you rule a
Speaker 1: division for twenty years, everyone in that division wants to,
Speaker 1: you know, take you down and again. Liking it to
Speaker 1: my time in St. Louis, the greatest Seawan Turkekeick everybody.
Speaker 1: But so when I got there Seattle Saint frem And
Speaker 1: they got hot. Even Arizona with Kurt, they didn't take
Speaker 1: it easy on us. So I think we're going to
Speaker 1: experience some time until the rookie quarterback gets his legs
Speaker 1: underneath them. New England is gonna be a punching bag.
Speaker 1: I think the ass is Buffalo. Everyone's going to Buffalo. Um.
Speaker 1: What do you think about Tampa based chances of repeating
Speaker 1: bringing back all two starters. M Tom's still not eating
Speaker 1: any inflammatory food or drinking children's blood or whatever he does,
Speaker 1: stay all right? I think I think they win the division.
Speaker 1: I think they didn't win the division. I think, yes,
Speaker 1: impressively went and return twenty two starters. But the things
Speaker 1: like football, we all know injury plays a role. Older team.
Speaker 1: We don't know what Father Time says to that, so
Speaker 1: I don't have them going back and repeating. Interesting, So
Speaker 1: you don't like their depths? Okay, there's a lot of guys. Yeah, interesting,
Speaker 1: very interesting. How about your beloved rams? I like it really.
Speaker 1: I want to see what happens with the offense because
Speaker 1: we go to past heavy and we're not balanced. I
Speaker 1: think we get out of what makes you know that
Speaker 1: offense great? Right? You know you get a quarterback, he's aging,
Speaker 1: he has an our strength. You want to leave on that,
Speaker 1: but you have to remain discipline. So I want to
Speaker 1: see what we do with safford At as a quarterback.
Speaker 1: I think if we get past here, we go. If
Speaker 1: we get passed San franc think it's San Fran. We
Speaker 1: get past seat san Fran. I think the Rams have
Speaker 1: some noise to me. Interesting. Okay, I know we keep
Speaker 1: saying last question, but now I have a last question.
Speaker 1: I don't have anyone to go. You have a football
Speaker 1: game to go to. You mentioned San Francisco. They've got
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks that we've seen the preseason that they may
Speaker 1: plan on using, even on the same drive. There's an
Speaker 1: old adage, if you have two quarterbacks, you have no quarterbacks?
Speaker 1: Is that true? From your perspective? I do, and I
Speaker 1: think those two I think it starts off that way.
Speaker 1: In the first a month, what the pressure of winning
Speaker 1: in the National Football League ownership GM would make a
Speaker 1: decision for the team. That's my belief. I don't know
Speaker 1: that to be true, but I think there's too many veterans,
Speaker 1: there's too many people that the NFL career is only
Speaker 1: three years, so you try to figure it out. Coach,
Speaker 1: who you want is your trigger guy, and no one
Speaker 1: work for all of us. So as a captain that
Speaker 1: I've been in several years, captain g M, somebody had
Speaker 1: to say we need one guy to run behind. And
Speaker 1: I think that happens for them when he gets closer
Speaker 1: to the playoff time. And that what makes me afraid
Speaker 1: of Saffran interesting. All right, Now, the real question while
Speaker 1: we brought you here, I just wanted to get to
Speaker 1: the question. Yeah, the real reason we brought you here is, uh,
Speaker 1: what do you think about Kanye West Donda album? I
Speaker 1: like it, you, I haven't made it all the way through.
Speaker 1: It's a lot, it's a lot to take it. I
Speaker 1: didn't like the Donda for two minutes at the beginning.
Speaker 1: You know what that is. It's now, this is gonna
Speaker 1: get dark. It was his mom's heartbeat as she was dying. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's done, done, okay, and that no Kanye. I love
Speaker 1: Kanye Kanye's music. I don't like Kanye being interviewed because
Speaker 1: I just can't understand what he's talking. The opposite, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't like being in the dark. So the Donda thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't like him being interviewed. I can hear what
Speaker 1: he's on his mind. I appreciate, Okay, Yeah, so we
Speaker 1: can figure out together we we like different aspects of KYE.
Speaker 1: So that was your last question, honest or Jay z RNAs?
Speaker 1: Which one? Okay? And I love quick and I love
Speaker 1: Nas My last real I use a NAS song. So
Speaker 1: that shows you I'm torn. But well, it didn't sound
Speaker 1: like you were torn because you said that quicker. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's I'm a loyal person, you loyal, Okay, you loyal
Speaker 1: little Rams, your loyal little Jay, loyal to us. Now,
Speaker 1: thanks for letting us come to your hometown. It's incredible.
Speaker 1: Did you tell that to everyone behind us at the
Speaker 1: pool as well, that they can come to your place
Speaker 1: for dinner? Thanks so much for se well, thanks again
Speaker 1: Steve Jackson for hanging out with us. Hope you guys
Speaker 1: had as much fun listening to that as we had
Speaker 1: recording it. I think it's pretty obvious we all got
Speaker 1: along famously. He was wonderful. Let's bring in our bed
Speaker 1: MGM betting expert, our good friend who we wish had
Speaker 1: come to Vegas with us, Peter Andrew I'll be there
Speaker 1: next time. I'm sad I missed it, but I'm very
Speaker 1: jealous of your guys, big goofy drinks. You were drinking,
Speaker 1: Stephen Jackson, you got to do it all. Don't worry.
Speaker 1: Olivia was there so long. She got it in for you.
Speaker 1: I'm no longer allowed in Vegas. You're you're You've been
Speaker 1: there long enough that I don't think you're a Kansas
Speaker 1: City or sheboygan resident anymore. I think you're actually a
Speaker 1: Vegas And it was a lot of fun to watch
Speaker 1: these crazy NFL games from the sports book, so much
Speaker 1: like crying, cheering, all this emotion and one it was
Speaker 1: my first time watching that firsthand. It was very cool.
Speaker 1: I was one of them too. I lost some money,
Speaker 1: so so did I. I got held out from the
Speaker 1: late game. But but all in all, it was a
Speaker 1: crazy I don't think we'd have it any other way.
Speaker 1: It was a crazy first week, absolutely crazy. A couple
Speaker 1: of big Tree top headlines, a lot of unders hit
Speaker 1: last week, which is where I lost my money, and
Speaker 1: some Super Bowl favorites already went down. Week one, the
Speaker 1: Packers the Bills, that was crazy to NFC West started
Speaker 1: four and oh and all year two quarterbacks Herbert Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts to Burrow all one. So that was pretty cool
Speaker 1: to see. We saw some cool action from our rookies.
Speaker 1: Justin Fields got in there and scored. Trey Lands got
Speaker 1: in there and scored. But Mac Jones and his first
Speaker 1: start with the Patriots, they lost to the Dolphins. That
Speaker 1: was an upset. That was exciting. That was I didn't
Speaker 1: see that coming, Peter start with that game. What do
Speaker 1: you see in Patriots Dolphins? Yeah? I think with Mac Jones,
Speaker 1: he saw a pretty good game. I just think the
Speaker 1: team just frankly is and good enough for what he
Speaker 1: was and coming in week one starter obviously, after the
Speaker 1: can Neet news a couple weeks ago, I was pretty
Speaker 1: impressed by him. Dolphins have a league all around the team.
Speaker 1: I think two is probably the one weak point and
Speaker 1: that's the one that everybody has some concern on. But
Speaker 1: arguably best corners in the league that have are really
Speaker 1: strong defense. I think they have some weapons. So it
Speaker 1: was shocked, But it was one of those toss up
Speaker 1: games that I just wasn't sure, and rightfully so, because
Speaker 1: I think it could have one either way. How much
Speaker 1: do you guys think Cam Newton bet on the Dolphins.
Speaker 1: Everybody I saw probably ten or fifteen memes of people
Speaker 1: just but you know, pictures of Cam Newton laughing away
Speaker 1: either at that game, all the quarterbacks that went down,
Speaker 1: like Ryan Fitzpatrick. Uh, he got a little bit of
Speaker 1: glimpse of Cam Newtons some means maybe playing for Washington.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I wouldn't I wouldn't be shocked. Well, another
Speaker 1: one that I lost was on the Packers. Man, Honest,
Speaker 1: I feel like we talked so much about this in
Speaker 1: last week's show. Uh. They won thirty eight to three
Speaker 1: to New Orleans. It was rogers worst career loss as
Speaker 1: a starter, fewest points scored in Week one since two
Speaker 1: thousands six. And the reason I'm bringing this up beaters
Speaker 1: because I'm going to the Monday night football game where
Speaker 1: the Packers host the Lions, who had a backdoor cover.
Speaker 1: Where do I put my money on this one? Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, the Packers Saints scheme. I think you could
Speaker 1: look at both sides. Packers arguably played their worst game
Speaker 1: I've seen since the NFC Championship against the Niners a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. But certainly to your point, regular
Speaker 1: season I've not seen Aaron Rodgers that off sync. I mean,
Speaker 1: there was one kind of hail Mary throw. I think
Speaker 1: he missed receiver about ten fifteen yards. That's just so
Speaker 1: unlike him. But at the same side, you know, James
Speaker 1: Winston played like an m v P. Caliper quarterback the
Speaker 1: way that offense was running. Even if Rogers did put
Speaker 1: up you know, three touchdowns twenty seven to thirty points,
Speaker 1: that offense was absolutely rolling. I didn't have to do
Speaker 1: much in the fourth quarter, so I think he can
Speaker 1: take some stock in to both sides. I'd be more
Speaker 1: interested to see what happens with Rogers coming off that
Speaker 1: bad loss. I think they bounced back. I think it's
Speaker 1: a plow out. This week Lions was a weird one.
Speaker 1: The Niners did everything they possibly could to make that
Speaker 1: game close. I mean point I think it was a
Speaker 1: three or a three touchdown game, or maybe even something
Speaker 1: like twenty four points. So I wouldn't take too much
Speaker 1: stocking Lions coming back there and covering. I think it
Speaker 1: was more than Niners just let that one off the
Speaker 1: hook and got a little lazy. Peter, let me ask
Speaker 1: you about the Pittsburgh Steelers. Are we seeing a team
Speaker 1: that's gonna keep that level of play up or was
Speaker 1: it just a great game? A little bit of both. Um,
Speaker 1: they looked great. I mean Deanta Johnson unbelievable catching the
Speaker 1: end zone. I think Naja Harris is going to come
Speaker 1: into his own big bend. You said it aged before Beauty.
Speaker 1: I think he you know, she had a couple of pounds.
Speaker 1: He looks a bit nimble. I think they're a really
Speaker 1: good team. Bill's probably didn't play their best football. Uh
Speaker 1: Josh Allen didn't look particularly great, but that's not to
Speaker 1: take credit away from the Steelers. So I like them
Speaker 1: moving into this. I think Browns are probably still a
Speaker 1: favorite to win that division, and you know, we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens with the Ravens and even the Bengals, which
Speaker 1: we're exciting team, but the Steelers are no joke. They
Speaker 1: still have a lot of good weapons on that team.
Speaker 1: And then you bring in someone like Nagy Harris should
Speaker 1: and could be a top five, top seven kind of
Speaker 1: running back. I think they set themselves up for success. Well,
Speaker 1: we already talked about the Monday night game Lions at Packers.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the game tonight Thursday, Giants at the
Speaker 1: Washington Football team. As long as they're sewage piping remains intact,
Speaker 1: FedEx Field should be okay to host another game. Did
Speaker 1: you see that Peter and Janice? I did, and that's
Speaker 1: I think indicative of what the game is gonna be
Speaker 1: on Thursday. I think the as we're recording right now,
Speaker 1: the under went from forty two to forty one already.
Speaker 1: I would take it now because I can see it
Speaker 1: going down to potentially thirty seven thirty eight points. Giants
Speaker 1: looked really bad. I just I hate to say this
Speaker 1: because I'm root for Daniel Jones, but he just doesn't
Speaker 1: seem like he's the solution on that team. We'll see
Speaker 1: what happens as quant progresses through the year. I think
Speaker 1: they're just gonna be a bit cautious with him. Just
Speaker 1: give him coming off that a CIL injury and then Washington.
Speaker 1: They have the weapons, but losing Fitzpatrick is a big
Speaker 1: allen and we'll see what they end up doing with
Speaker 1: with with some of their backup quarterbacks. I don't know
Speaker 1: how it'll, you know, potentially shake out, but it looks
Speaker 1: like Fitzpatrick's at least out for a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: It was a hit injury, let me ask you this
Speaker 1: question real quick, just because I'm a Giant fan. What
Speaker 1: do you think about Joe Judge calling for an instant
Speaker 1: replay when he couldn't and losing a time out? I mean,
Speaker 1: what is going on with the New York Giants. It's
Speaker 1: to me, it's this sounds messed up, but it's just
Speaker 1: a classic New York football Giants and Jets just can't
Speaker 1: get their own way sometimes. And yeah, and it's it's
Speaker 1: a Jet move, but apparently that's been rubbing off onto
Speaker 1: the other side at MetLife. Yeah, I mean, can your
Speaker 1: husband play on a football team so I can start
Speaker 1: rooting for them? Olivia. You know when he was at Wisconsin,
Speaker 1: Paul Chris try to make him a tight end. Hey,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham. Jimmy Graham was a basketball player at Miami
Speaker 1: and after averaging basically four points a year, they decided
Speaker 1: to make him tight end, and look what happened. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about college football for a second, because last weekend
Speaker 1: got pretty weird. That had playoff implications as Oregon Upstate
Speaker 1: Ohio State really back and forth in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: I was at the R Sports Book during that, and
Speaker 1: that was very exciting. Ohio State's defense is just so vanilla.
Speaker 1: They looked so flat, and their national champods went down
Speaker 1: from five to one to eight to one. Still very
Speaker 1: much in the picture. Arkansas beats big bad Texas, Florida,
Speaker 1: A and M on the last play of the game,
Speaker 1: upset FSU. I think the biggest takeaways for me the
Speaker 1: Pac twelve is horrible. Besides U c l A and
Speaker 1: l s U starting to and oh and Oregon beating
Speaker 1: Ohio State, U c l A had to buy they
Speaker 1: should beat Fresno State in Stanford these next two weeks
Speaker 1: and they are a legit playoff contender. I can't believe
Speaker 1: I'm saying that Michigan already matched their win total from
Speaker 1: last year going to and O Harbos fighting for his
Speaker 1: life in anne Arbor. I mean, just just a lot
Speaker 1: of crazy stuff, Notre Dame, who I like. In the playoff,
Speaker 1: they barely snuck past Toledo thirty. Just a lot to
Speaker 1: get into. But as I looked at the updated playoff
Speaker 1: picture on bet MGM, almost every high bet still has Bama,
Speaker 1: U G A, and then a mix of Ou, Oregon, Iowa. Peter.
Speaker 1: When you kind of look big picture, what do you
Speaker 1: think about those odds. Yeah, I mean it was an
Speaker 1: absolutely crazy week. Even the teams to your point about
Speaker 1: Notre Dame Miami, the teams that squeaked it out, they
Speaker 1: looked horrible. Ohio State, I think it was severely exposed.
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're gonna be able to do
Speaker 1: against even in Michigan. I think Michigan's overplaying right now
Speaker 1: and they're probably overperforming a bit. But it seems like
Speaker 1: some of these teams are gonna give them trouble. Hence
Speaker 1: State as an example too. I think Penn State looks
Speaker 1: really good. They have an interesting one against Auburn this week,
Speaker 1: which I do like them. I think it's gonna be
Speaker 1: under but that defense is no joke. But it really
Speaker 1: all falls still to kind of those three mentioned. Bama
Speaker 1: still as the clar cut favorite. They have a really
Speaker 1: interesting one against UF this weekend. Until they proved otherwise,
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't. You have to take the points
Speaker 1: in run of. I think they're fifteen and a half
Speaker 1: right now. You don't know what Florida is going to do.
Speaker 1: They played USF and I think another small Floria school
Speaker 1: their first two weeks. I think dam is just a
Speaker 1: step above and then you know, oh use Rattler look better.
Speaker 1: You g A is a pretty clear all around good team,
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be an interesting week. I think that
Speaker 1: we need wait wait wait, wait wait. You A is
Speaker 1: a pretty clear all around good team. They haven't allowed
Speaker 1: an offensive touchdown in the first two games. They're better
Speaker 1: than just a good defense, and their backup quarterback looked
Speaker 1: incredible last weekend stets in bed at my man, get
Speaker 1: them get him O. I do like that energy. I
Speaker 1: can only pay enter to you so much, especially since
Speaker 1: I can't get the invite to Vegas, so I can't
Speaker 1: be as if it's mine to give out. I know,
Speaker 1: I know, no, I mean obviously is a premier team,
Speaker 1: and to your point, not being able to give up
Speaker 1: a touchdown through two weeks is pretty damn impressive. They are.
Speaker 1: I said this, I said this a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: So I think you know you take Bama U G
Speaker 1: as a national championship matchup. I think you put yourself
Speaker 1: in a pretty good spot. May not be that great
Speaker 1: right now, but I think two really, really good teams,
Speaker 1: and for last week you got you saw the teams
Speaker 1: getting exposed, the teams that are just frankly not well rounded.
Speaker 1: Ohio State prime example. Oregon looked really good. We'll see
Speaker 1: what what they kind of look like as they get
Speaker 1: through some pack twelve games. You know, for me, I
Speaker 1: bring up Miami even though they should be a non factor.
Speaker 1: Miami looked horrible. I mean, having to squeak out wins
Speaker 1: like that against Appalachian State. You almost need that weird,
Speaker 1: crappy week of games just to really understand. Okay, who
Speaker 1: is actually a pretender versus a contender? Well, you mentioned
Speaker 1: two of the three ranked matchups in Week three of
Speaker 1: college football, But the last one I want to ask
Speaker 1: you honest about just because I feel like it's teamed
Speaker 1: him up too easily be Honice. On Saturday, number nineteen
Speaker 1: Arizona State, the Sun Devils go to number twenty three.
Speaker 1: B y U. What do you like there? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: like B y U. I'm gonna be yu and you
Speaker 1: know I'm yeah, They're just Ye and Joe Smith Smith
Speaker 1: American Jesus. If you will so, I I like B
Speaker 1: y U. You can't. You can never go against the
Speaker 1: American Jesus if you're a Patriot. And as far as
Speaker 1: the points go, I always check with my man Peter
Speaker 1: because he he has done me right in beating you
Speaker 1: this week. So Peter, what are the points I should do? Yeah?
Speaker 1: First off, breaks traditionally love the Mormons, so that's why
Speaker 1: he's pandering to the Mormon today. Is you favored by
Speaker 1: three and a half under fifty and a half points?
Speaker 1: For what it's worth, I'm actually going against the honest.
Speaker 1: I like Jaden Daniels in Arizona State, and I also
Speaker 1: like the under. I think Jane Daniels has not shown
Speaker 1: much from the passing game ran for plus last week.
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna need that to the threat this week.
Speaker 1: But hey, maybe we have our own punishment game here
Speaker 1: me and be honest on this game, so we'll see
Speaker 1: absolutely well. Speaking of which, let's get to this week's
Speaker 1: punishment picks in the NFL for a week to Peter,
Speaker 1: we don't know what games you're gonna pick, but I
Speaker 1: am ready for a comeback laid on us punishment. Yeah, three,
Speaker 1: I think really intriguing games. All uh successful teams minus
Speaker 1: one first one Niners, Eagles, Niners or three and a
Speaker 1: half one favorite at the Eagles to come to Philly.
Speaker 1: They're actually staying on the road. For what it's worth,
Speaker 1: for those teams west coming to East Coast, they're actually
Speaker 1: staying in West Virginia, so they don't have to deal
Speaker 1: with the travel. But Niners, Moneys three and a half,
Speaker 1: can I go Yeah, eight before beauty, that's what we
Speaker 1: do here age before beauty. I am definitely picking the
Speaker 1: Eagles in this one. They looked so good. I know
Speaker 1: they were playing a horrible team last week, but they
Speaker 1: look so good. Jalen Hurts looks so good. Philadelphia. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take Philadelphia in this one, and got ahead. Peter
Speaker 1: picked for me. Yeah, plus three and a half, got it, okay,
Speaker 1: both us three and a half Eagles. I also am
Speaker 1: going to take the points. Eagles. I like them. I
Speaker 1: thought Jalen Hurts looked so great last week, three touchdowns.
Speaker 1: Davante Smith, the raining Heisman winner, I like him a lot,
Speaker 1: and they did. They looked sharp and new head coach.
Speaker 1: I'm excited about the Eagles nine years by the way,
Speaker 1: that's my team. But losing Raheem moosted as of today
Speaker 1: eight weeks so that's a big, big loss for the team.
Speaker 1: I'm writing that one down. Yeah. Next up, Saints favored
Speaker 1: by three points against the Panthers, Saints had an obviously
Speaker 1: really strong week, as we alluded to, but the Panthers
Speaker 1: look pretty good Against the Chets. Sam Donald looked like
Speaker 1: a an All Pro quarterback. Who do you guys like? God,
Speaker 1: let's do beauty before looks? On this one, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take the Saints. I was very surprised by what I
Speaker 1: saw in Jacksonville last weekend. And you know what's funny
Speaker 1: about the Saints. The last team they beat thirty eight
Speaker 1: to three ended up going on to win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: That was the Buccaneers last year. So I can't be
Speaker 1: mad at the Saints because maybe they just sprinkled a
Speaker 1: little good New Orleans juju on us and the Packers
Speaker 1: are going to go on and win. So I'm going
Speaker 1: to go with the Saints because maybe I owe them
Speaker 1: a thank you God. I hate to agree with Olivia,
Speaker 1: but I'm taking the Saints as well. I mean, they
Speaker 1: look they actually look like the Super Bowl favorite week one.
Speaker 1: I mean, they look so good. Jamie's looks so good.
Speaker 1: So I'm taking the Saints. Let's go plus fourteen, just
Speaker 1: taking the alternate spread. I love it, okay without an option,
Speaker 1: but I don't that's gonna be some heavy money on
Speaker 1: that one. But that's what keeps the lights on this one.
Speaker 1: So obviously we're tied to two here, so we're gonna
Speaker 1: need each to take one side of this. Yeah, Titans
Speaker 1: plus five and a half. So Seahawks favored by five
Speaker 1: and a half points. Titans plus five and a half.
Speaker 1: Titans had a really, really poor week. I don't think
Speaker 1: that's indicative of what that team can be. And then
Speaker 1: on the other side of the all you have the Seahawks.
Speaker 1: It looked great, okay, so k yeah, because I was
Speaker 1: about to six Seahawks. I mean, Russell Wilson, it looks great.
Speaker 1: They look great. He aired it out what what was
Speaker 1: seventy yards? But I will, I'll, I'll go against the
Speaker 1: Seahawks just for the sake of this game. Let's say
Speaker 1: that let's go with the Seahawks, and you picked picked
Speaker 1: the points from me, Peter Gus, maybe some money. I
Speaker 1: think I think it's a field goal game. I like
Speaker 1: the Titans to keep it close. They have a little
Speaker 1: bit of a bad taste and out getting getting absolutely
Speaker 1: routed by Arizona, so I like them with the points.
Speaker 1: I think the Seahawks to win, but they keep books
Speaker 1: all right, so three. Well, there you have it. Thank
Speaker 1: you Peter very much. Hopefully Olivia will have better luck
Speaker 1: this coming week. I hope not, because it was a
Speaker 1: lot of fun writing up her punishment which is coming
Speaker 1: up soon. But guys, don't forget to go to bet
Speaker 1: MGM on Twitter on Monday to place your bad beat
Speaker 1: of the week and we will announce the winning bad
Speaker 1: beat next week. Don't forget to follow us on Apple, podcast, Spotify, Stitcher,
Speaker 1: or anywhere else you find your favorite podcast. Okay, donkey, Olivia,
Speaker 1: why don't you end this episode with something that you
Speaker 1: know you just are gonna say organically? Okay, I'm never
Speaker 1: losing again this week. The Seahawks has to get it
Speaker 1: done for me. Okay. I hope you enjoyed this podcast
Speaker 1: with the King of Greeks, Yanni Papas and the Blonde Girl.
Speaker 1: Tune in every Thursday. We're all just be supporting Yanni
Speaker 1: on his mission to crush women's rights and impose a
Speaker 1: well needed patriarchal resurgence on us Danes. Because I'm just
Speaker 1: a girl in the world.
