Yes, Patrick Claibron will get something off 23 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: his chest. Speaking of a chest he had, he's like 24 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: a Henley pull over. That one button was down a 25 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: little bit of a show and I mentioned it and 26 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: then he quickly buttoned it up. The temperature was getting 27 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: very hot in the pre show chat between us and UM. 28 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: I think it was appropriate for the view or that 29 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: that Claibon did that, Um or maybe not, Maybe he 30 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: needs to go in the opposite direction. Well, I was 31 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: trying to. I was trying to match Mark honestly a 32 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: little bit of chest reveal as well, maybe you guys 33 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: could join us? Uh? Yeah, who anybody have let us here? 34 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: Anybody have chest hair? I do not, not like overwhelmingly, 35 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: but it's there's I don't have the back hair that 36 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 1: the rest of the Rosenthal men do, but I do 37 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: have the chest. I always feel like like if I'm 38 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: at the shore and I'm at the beach and I 39 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: see the guy that is insanely Harry, and I know 40 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,519 Speaker 1: there're people watching right now that are this way, so 41 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 1: I'm not making fun of you, but it just sucks 42 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: like very hairy back and then there's nothing up top, 43 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: and it's just like, God, what's up? What are we 44 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: doing here? You didn't need to do this. I don't 45 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: know anyway. I my Irish heartage means I'm basically a 46 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: wet seal, so I don't. I can't. Really, it's not 47 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: a great show for me either. UM let's get into 48 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: all of the action. Yes, um, it's about me with Claybon. 49 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: We'll do some listener feedback, We'll have the week ten 50 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 1: injury a minute, will make some predictions, but first let 51 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: us close the door. On the first part of week 52 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: ten Thursday night, football Smith now motions right the snap 53 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: hand off Foreman. I want to go right side, going downhill, 54 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: touch down Foreman kick trucking. Wow. D'ante Foreman gets the highlight. 55 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: All right. Dante Foreman had a big day, so maybe 56 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: he deserved it, going a hundred and thirty yards and 57 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: a touchdown inin for the Panthers over the Falcons on 58 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: a rainy Thursday night in Charlotte. Um M, where to 59 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: start on this one? First? I'll start here. I locked 60 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: up the Falcons and you know it's annoying. I knew 61 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: it at the time. There's a trophy, right here. It's 62 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: because I'm good at this and I made some mistakes. 63 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: I did not look at the weeks late. I just 64 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: looked at t n F. Never locked t n F. 65 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: That was mistake number one. It's a weird, funky, silly 66 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: game to never lock up Marcus Mariotte on the road. 67 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: I did that. Number three, never lock up Marcus Mariotte 68 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: at home, which he wasn't. But that's just a safeguard. 69 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: So lesson learned for the old zuser. Who's gonna make 70 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: things a little more competitive or interesting in the locks challenge? 71 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: Now that I've given you guys a game, I mean, 72 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: and make it more competitive. I housed you last year, Greg, 73 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: and I was in first place before Thursday night, so 74 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: I've made things a little more challenging. So you're market 75 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: made an excellent move to jump out of the Falcons. 76 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I do wonder mystically, Dan, had I kept 77 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: the Falcons is my lock and the lock brothers, which 78 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: are brilliant, impenetrable solar force. Had I kept my lock 79 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: with the falcons have just one, I might have caused 80 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: the loss for you, which I apologized. No, that's a 81 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: good call, but I think what I should have done 82 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: in hindsight is once you did it as a lock brother, 83 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: that should been my message. I gotta get out as well. Again, 84 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: you learn lessons in this life and hopefully, um you 85 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: get better as a person and as a game picker. 86 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the game. Uh sloppy. Also 87 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: another rule is when there's a tropical storm pounding the 88 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: region where the stadium is, just get out. Get out 89 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: of that as well. But um, yeah, the Panthers did 90 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: a nice job bouncing back here, Greg from a game 91 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: where they last week. They're down forty two nothing in 92 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: the third quarter. So get in the w You get 93 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: some dignity back in the in the locker room and 94 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,119 Speaker 1: in general you you stick it to a division rival 95 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: and oh not for nothing kind of stay on the 96 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: periphery of the division race. What a what a year 97 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: in the NFC cell? Right? If the games go on 98 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: Sunday as I personally expect, which would be a Seahawks 99 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: win in Germany and a Saints loss in Pittsburgh or 100 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: Saints win it, that wouldn't matter that the Panthers only 101 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: one game out of first with three division wins. They 102 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: felt confident, I think because they pushed around the Falcons 103 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: just two weeks ago. It is a division game where 104 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: they outplayed the Falcons in Atlanta because they could run 105 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: on the foul kins. And I think they see the 106 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: Falcons running attacks so much they're a little more prepared for. 107 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: The Falcons are one of those teams I think that 108 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: are tough to prepare for. But they know what they're 109 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: about after playing against Arthur Smith with his defense for 110 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,799 Speaker 1: a while, and they stuffed the Falcons running game early, 111 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: and they made Mariota have to be a drop back 112 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: passer a handful of times, and you got the bad 113 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 1: Mariota game half the weeks this season. I'd say he's 114 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: a huge part of their great running game and it's 115 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: almost built around him. And he's good with all the 116 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: ball fakes and he he makes just enough, you know, 117 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: good decisions with the ball throwing that it all is fine. 118 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,679 Speaker 1: It's play action. He's protected. The other half he looks terrible, 119 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 1: and this was that other half. Maybe the worst game 120 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: I've seen out of him. The box score didn't really 121 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: say it, but they could have had three or four 122 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: interceptions on him. I mean, it reminds me what they did, 123 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: what Carolina did against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and that 124 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: sort of surprising result where they ran all over him. 125 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 1: I thought they looked at the Falcons and said, you know, 126 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: like a friend to a friend, like, um, can I 127 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: try your dress on? They just played the Atlanta's offense 128 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: and stuck it to And I thought it was a 129 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: weird uh, a weird night for Arthur Smith, who I've 130 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: been a fan of and I enjoy what he's done 131 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: with with lesser parts in general, but at one you know, 132 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: I think it was their third drive that you know, 133 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: they come out kind of throwing the ball in in rain, 134 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: in this hideous weather, more than you'd expect. And on 135 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: the third drive they're stuck in their own right near 136 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: their own goal line and run the ball three times 137 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: inside their own tent and punt the ball away. It's 138 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: like what happened to the creativity? Cordell Or Patterson wasn't 139 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: used very much? Um Again, it's like, I just look 140 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: at the Falcons and and they have been frisky. Um. 141 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if they qual a five for that now. 142 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: It's point but Mariota and it's his killer mistakes. He 143 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: doesn't a couple of things well, But I wonder what 144 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: the conversation inside that building is about when do we 145 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: find it appropriate or necessary to insert Desmond Ritter or 146 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: or what do they know about Desmond Ritter and practice 147 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: that says we're not ready to do that yet because 148 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: of what we do know. But it's like all the 149 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: reports on him in the preseason where he's smart, he's 150 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: really good with the offense, he knows the playbook, like 151 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: do you make the switch just to see what you have? 152 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: And honestly, Mark, because immediately after the game the question 153 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: was asked to Arthur Smith and it was a fast no, 154 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: like a fast and decisive no on the quarterback change. 155 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: And you know, we don't know because we're watching on TV. 156 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: He's standing there in the rain. But did you guys 157 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: not feel the frustration in the play calling from Arthur Smith, 158 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: especially on the heels of an eight play ninety two 159 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: yard drive where Marcus Mariota has a has the touchdown pass, 160 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: they pull within the score, and then they come right 161 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: back out on the first down on this opportunity for 162 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: the Marcus Mariot to TNF legacy drive and they have 163 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: this first down run and it's miserable and then Mariota 164 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: is trying to navigate the pocket under pressure and and 165 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: there's a holding penalty and then that happens. It was 166 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: the team was in absolute hell on that most important 167 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,199 Speaker 1: drive of the game, and you and you kind of 168 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: left wondering what does this what does his offense do? Like, 169 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: what's what's the plan? What do they hope to accomplish? 170 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: And it's just a lot of question marks after just 171 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: a nasty game like this from Billy G. Kyle Pitts 172 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: is stuck in that jail cell with Mark Yeah. I 173 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: think he had two catches and eight nine targets and 174 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,599 Speaker 1: gets wide open all the time. This is not a 175 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts is a bus situation. This is a quarterback 176 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: can't shoot straight situation. And heading into this game, um, 177 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: we were coming off the Sunday game where Mariota was 178 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,959 Speaker 1: missing throws all game and it was just like my god, 179 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: Like you just got the vibe watching Arthur Smith on 180 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: the sideline like he's he's probably gonna be ready to 181 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: move on after this year. So I don't after watching 182 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 1: this game on top of it, that's a too rough. Uh, 183 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: you know, game tape days for Mariota and you just 184 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: wonder if you should take anything out of what Smith 185 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: says immediately after the game. He's trying to keep things 186 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 1: under control. But at the same time, I don't think 187 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: it's to me any question. Mariota is not the future. 188 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: Is Desmond Ridder of the future? I don't know, Maybe 189 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: maybe not, But I think there are one or two 190 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: losses away and they're coming with Mariota cratering like this 191 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: from it being a no brainer to turn it over 192 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: to the kid and then you get a at him 193 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: before you make your decision in the off season, I 194 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: think it's to me it's just inevitable at this point. Yeah, 195 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: they're trying to make the playoffs too, and if Mariota's 196 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: making rookie mistakes and it's not like he's winning from 197 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: you know, above the neck in terms of like making 198 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: all the right decisions, that's probably been his biggest problem 199 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,839 Speaker 1: this year, then why not try out the kid? I mean, 200 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: p J. Walker wasn't much better. He made a few 201 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: good throws, he tried to throw the ball away a 202 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: couple of times, when Steve Wilkes surprisingly let him try 203 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: to win it with his arms on a few third 204 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: and longs late in the game, and neither team could 205 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: catch an interception. But I like that we got Deonte 206 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: Foreman at the beginning because he was awesome throughout. And 207 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: you look at their running attacks and Wills has taken over. 208 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: Their three best rushing days all a hundred and sixty 209 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: nine yards and over have happened in the last four weeks. 210 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: Since they've traded Christian McCaffrey. Like it's running backs are important, 211 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: I think that gets a little overrated. Obviously, Christian McCaffrey's better, 212 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: but it's also no question that they've become a much 213 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: at a running team, partly because of the opponents, cartly 214 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: because they're just getting better. But since they've traded Christian McCaffrey, 215 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna get back in this race. 216 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 1: But this is one of the worst divisions I've ever seen. 217 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: It's right there with the Panthers Division when they had 218 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: a losing record and the Panthers very last second, I 219 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: think they went seven eight and one or something like 220 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: that and then played the Cardinals in the playoffs. I 221 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: think that's happening. I don't think the Panthers are gonna 222 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: be the one to take it, but I think a 223 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: losing record wins this division. Is there a weirder quarterback 224 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: room that you can remember during the run of this 225 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: show than p J. Walker starting while two first round 226 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: draft picks, including a first overall picks sit on the bench. 227 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: I think because they just set up better. It's a 228 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: good call. And it's also you know, Mayfield stays in 229 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: the headlines by headbutting teammates with his cap on, which 230 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: you know he's got to do something at this point. Um, 231 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: it just shows they're so adrift in their quarterback room. 232 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,080 Speaker 1: But both these teams, I mean, this is going to 233 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: be I think a division. Uh. And you could look 234 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 1: at the Saints as well, perhaps here and maybe even 235 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: the Bucks where we could have a major facelift at 236 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 1: the most important position, because I think not this isn'tna 237 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: go across the board with this division, because I don't 238 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 1: think Brady's solely to blame for their issues over there. Um. 239 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: But the quarterback play I think is a big reason 240 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: why this division is so bad. Uh. And that and 241 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: that play that Mariota, that's the legacy play for Mariota, 242 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: the play in the second half near midfield where he's 243 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,599 Speaker 1: spinning down and his his butt hits the turf, but 244 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 1: he still throws it up for grabs and it's intercepted 245 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: and he gets saved because his his butt cheeks hit 246 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: the turf. It was like at that point, I don't 247 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: know how Arthur Smith watches the tape and says that 248 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: this is the guy I'm gonna ride or die with 249 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: for the rest of the season. He just looks like 250 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: a dude that's hit his expiration date. I have a 251 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: have a sandwich bet for you guys. Oh, let's get it. 252 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: Whoever wins this division, they go into the playoffs as 253 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: the obvious underdog, but they will be playing at home. 254 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: I'm telling you now, whoever wins this division convincingly wins 255 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: their playoff game convincingly, I'm gonna say they would it. 256 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm just gonna say they flat 257 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: out win their playoff game against a heavy favorite. I 258 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: would say I would take you on it, but this 259 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: is a weird year and I'm thinking out loud right now. 260 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: So they would be the lowest seeded division winner. They 261 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: would get the top seeded wild card, right, so they 262 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: would get let's let's say the Giants in their Cowboys. 263 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I think at the Cowboys I think they're cooked. 264 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 1: But I mean if they get the Giants or another 265 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: kind of funky team that you could see falling on 266 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: its face on the road. Yeah, I'm actually not gonna 267 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: take you on it. The leaks too weird this year. 268 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: Just so I can get in on a sandwich problem, 269 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: I will take because I see a chance the Vikings 270 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: lose a couple of games and you can get Kirk 271 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: Cousins against Tom Brady at home. Yeah right. I actually 272 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: don't like the odds. Are the Bucks win this division 273 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: and then if they're at home, they're probably favored or 274 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,839 Speaker 1: close in that game almost no matter who they're playing. 275 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna take you just for the fun of it. 276 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna lose, but I just want to be involved 277 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 1: in a sandwich prop and I just want to buy 278 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,839 Speaker 1: you a sandwich. I like the spirit of this. That's 279 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: very nice of you. Plus the huddle here the food 280 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: is free, so like that's an easy one as well. Um, 281 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: all right, can't be from the huddle. We need to 282 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: make a rule. It is not cold, yeah, ham and cheese. 283 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: Any other thoughts on this game before we move on? 284 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: One quick one, which is that Derrick Brown has made 285 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: himself more money this year than almost any player, a 286 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: top ten pick that was kind of seen as a 287 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: bus coming into this year and has been one of 288 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: the best nose tackle defensive tackles in the league. They'll 289 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: pick up his fifth year option, guarantee him ten plus 290 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: million for and then he'll make a monster contract. And 291 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: he kind of came out of nowhere. He was looking 292 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: at like a bus. And I was gonna say, Arthur 293 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: Smith might be a believer in the whole playing a 294 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback too early thing, and that might be why 295 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: we're not seeing Desmond ritter Mark. What is the food 296 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: in the in the local penitentiary that you're I mean, 297 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: I am attempting to convince you that it's not a penitentiary. 298 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: How do I see you in the studio? Three time 299 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: is a week and then I'm shuffled back to this 300 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: like high level. So it's I mean a sort of 301 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: three work release program. Alright, alright, well, it's the food 302 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: is fine. It's only one day a week. I have 303 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: to deal with it. It's like a new volunteer prison 304 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: where they simulate what prison is like for people who 305 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: want that feeling. Yeah, we established on last Week's Friday 306 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: Fun Show that it's one of those country club Greenwich, 307 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: Connecticut type.

All right, this is a fun one 336 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: for Dan and maybe Greg to answer two part questions ahead, Buddy, 337 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 1: is Geno Smith the best player the Jets have drafted 338 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: in the past fifteen years? How far could this Jets 339 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: team go with Gino at QB? Well, I don't. I 340 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: don't hate on Sam Green because I get it he's 341 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: trying to get a rise out of me. I don't 342 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: think any Jets fan is thinking right now, man, if 343 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: only we had Gino. That ship sailed so long ago. 344 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 1: It's like it's like feels like another generation generation ago. 345 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: He got drafted by the Jets before this podcast started. So, uh, 346 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: Gregg doesn't believe it. I don't. I'm fine with Gino 347 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: having a nice season. I don't want him to have 348 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: a good game against the Jets. I don't believe that 349 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: you guys were rooting so hard. I even pretend that 350 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: you would be loving it if he was. You're missing 351 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: You've always missed the point with this. I've never been 352 00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: rooting against Gino. He's rootting against you, so that what 353 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 1: I mean. But it's at this point it's like the 354 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: same there's nothing personal for me with Geno Smith. Um, 355 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: this version of Gino would be a huge upgrade over 356 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: Zack Wilson, by the way, So those are two I 357 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 1: don't I don't live in a world where I wish, 358 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: you know, was my quarterback. But I also you can't 359 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: hide from the fact that Gino is having a great 360 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 1: year and if you combined him with the Jets team 361 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,479 Speaker 1: as a whole, they'd be better. So there you go. 362 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of who's been a decent draft 363 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: pick by the Jets over the last second was coming, Yeah, Williams. 364 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,959 Speaker 1: I was thinking more like further back, but because they 365 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: had a great little run from like oh seven to 366 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 1: to eleven if they had the jet, if they had 367 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: Gino this year in an offense which isn't uh dissimilar 368 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: from the one Seattle runs, I think they'd have a 369 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: chance to make the super Bowl and be harder in 370 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: the a f C, but I think they'd have a 371 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 1: chance to make the super Bowl. And it has felt 372 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: personal Dan sometimes over the years because like the whole 373 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: thing with him getting punched in the face was I 374 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,360 Speaker 1: out like painted as like, well, this guy is kind 375 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 1: of obnoxious, and that I think that was the thing 376 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: that that got the Geno supporters most upset, like somehow 377 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 1: that was, well do you The only reason I've ever 378 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:15,199 Speaker 1: given Geno uh crap about that was it sounded like 379 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: he was being a to a teammate, Like he stiffed 380 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: the guy, a no name player on a six hundred 381 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 1: dollar flight after he blew off that guy's camp for 382 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: children in Texas. And when the guy that was not 383 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: a even a guaranteed salary dude was like, hey man, 384 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,120 Speaker 1: can you pay me back for the flight or half 385 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 1: the flight, he kept on like brushing him off and 386 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,199 Speaker 1: kind of laughing him off. And then the guy did 387 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 1: the wrong thing, I cam Polly, and but those aren't 388 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 1: like those aren't like a both sides things where they're 389 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 1: they're equal to me, or that they're like, you know what, 390 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: you're the morality police here. That's that's fine. But that 391 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: was the wrong thing for Geno Smith to do and 392 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: he had to miss games. This is this is such 393 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: a stupid conversation. I can Polly was an ask for 394 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: and he did obviously, but it's not that Gino and 395 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 1: I'm not saying Gino Smith deserved it, but you can't 396 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 1: just view it in a vacuum as he was an 397 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 1: innocent man that I clocked in the face. He was 398 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: being a dig and sometimes when you're you get popped 399 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: in the mouth. That's what happened to good question, Samuel Green, Yeah, 400 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 1: bring it. What else we got? All right, let's stick 401 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: to the quarterback discussion here. Daniel Black wants to know 402 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: has Burrow elevated above the to a Herbert debate? He's always, um, 403 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: I mean, why is this debate? They can all be good, 404 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: they can all be good. Um. The fact that like 405 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: some people are gonna question either quarterbacks. Some people of 406 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: course are gonna question Joe Burrow and managing the pocket 407 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 1: and taking sacks and all this. I think all of 408 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: these guys are good. I think football itself, in football discourse, 409 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: can elevate above like oh this guy, I know. Like 410 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: we rank quarterbacks and that's something that we do and 411 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: it's a fun discussion. But like, we don't have to 412 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: pick these guys against each other to take one. If 413 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 1: one goes up, another doesn't have to go down. I 414 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: think Joe Burrow to a talk about lot Justin Herbert 415 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: are going to be starters in the league for the 416 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: next ten to twelve years. Sometimes they're gonna win, sometimes 417 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna lose. They're gonna do it differently. It's not 418 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: I hope people don't think I'm fencitting to say this, 419 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: but I think they're all good. I think they're all good. 420 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: They're all good in different ways. Is that well, That's 421 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: part of the reason I love you Claibon is that 422 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 1: you just look at things from a different perspective than 423 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 1: a typical sports fan. I think for me, it's like 424 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: it's fun to debate who's better than who, But when 425 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 1: you look at it from that lens, it's like it's true, 426 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 1: you don't have to decide this guy is better and 427 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: that makes this guy worse. Uh, And that's why I'm 428 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: looking so forward to what's about to happen in a 429 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: couple of minutes. It's about me with Patrick. What else 430 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: we got? All right, let's do one more quarterback question. 431 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: Becca Roby wants to know how quickly do you think 432 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 1: the Lions are looking for a new quarterback. I think 433 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: they will stick with Goff for another year. Love all 434 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 1: of your work, gentlemen. I don't think that. I'm and 435 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 1: I think that they've set their whole world up collecting 436 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: draft picks. The whole golf switched in, the whole Stafford 437 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: thing was to eventually get another quarterback. He's he's the 438 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: dictionary definition of a placeholder. And I mean he's he's 439 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: sort of fine. He's sort of dalton Linish to me 440 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: on some level. And I think that there's a better 441 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: draft coming up if Detroit's not looking at starting with 442 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: a new young quarterback. I'm not quite sure what they're doing, 443 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: he he going. I mean, there's no chance they've actually 444 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 1: put themselves in the position that they tried not to 445 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:30,919 Speaker 1: be in initially, which is like, well, we don't have 446 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: to take a quarterback. We we need to take time 447 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 1: because we need to build up the rest of the 448 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: team first. And that's fine. They didn't fall in love 449 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: with any quarterbacks available to them in the last two drafts. 450 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 1: But this season they're stuck in the place where they 451 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 1: have to They can't go into next season with Dared Goff, 452 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,880 Speaker 1: assuming the coaching staffs even there next year, which I'm 453 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: not totally assuming but I think is likely, they absolutely 454 00:22:52,640 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 1: have to do whatever they can to get him. The 455 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 1: British Nights cut you off there, Greggy, I was ending it. 456 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: It's all good. Apologies. They're you know, they're very regal, 457 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: but they're also very conscious of time. Apparently. Yeah they 458 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: have they have someone whipping them behind the scenes. All right, 459 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 1: it is time now, Yes, much long awaited h contribution 460 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: uh from Patrick Claiban on the segment we like to 461 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 1: call in honor of the great Chris Westling. It's about me. Oh, 462 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: it's about me. This is cool. It's also cool that 463 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 1: I can look down at YouTube and see instant reaction 464 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 1: from people all over the world while we do this, 465 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: because that ability hasn't always been available to us. So 466 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: while it's still around, I would like to shout out 467 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: social media, website, Twitter dot com, UM, Mike, anything involving people, 468 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 1: it can have an extraordinary set of problems because people 469 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: have problems, some of them more than others. But one 470 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: thing it fundamentally changed for me and for millions of 471 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: other people around sixteen years ago. Uh, it changed the 472 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: way we watch and consume sports, and that was with 473 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: each other digitally. UM. I can think back to all 474 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: these moments, Ray Allen in the corner, a season changing 475 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: field goal, hitting not one but two posts, the lights 476 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: going out in New Orleans, watching the phrase orchestrate a 477 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: murderous coup at a redding, at a wedding. UM. I 478 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: think about how I went a decade without watching wrestling, 479 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 1: but I knew the second that takers streak at WrestleMania 480 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: came to an end. I just none of these things 481 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: that we shared was a corporation. Uh. None of that 482 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 1: was gifted to us by a billionaire. Uh. That was us. 483 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 1: We invented the quote, tweet, the sub tweet, the modified tweet. UH, 484 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 1: entire genres of communication and jokes birth by us just 485 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: being in the same place, sharing the same moments. And 486 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: so this place where I've strengthened my relationships with all 487 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: of my coworkers who can understand me because of this website, 488 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 1: the place where I met my wife, the place where 489 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 1: we go to angry and happy and everything in between. 490 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 1: I'm not saying this because the u r L is 491 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: in danger from some talent was fraud. I'm saying this 492 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 1: because I love what we were able to accomplish and 493 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: what we were able to make together, and when and 494 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: if the opportunity presents itself, we will be able to 495 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 1: do it again here here. I that's that's great. I 496 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,360 Speaker 1: love I love that, Patrick, and it makes me think 497 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,479 Speaker 1: also like for me um in my sports fandom moving 498 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: across the country and you know, I wish I could 499 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: watch games with my friends and my dad and my brother, 500 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,400 Speaker 1: and Twitter for me has been like a companion uh 501 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: as well where I get to share opinions also here 502 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,479 Speaker 1: other takes like that. It really has changed the sports 503 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 1: fandom experience UH to such a positive degree. So it is. Yeah, 504 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 1: it's worrisome and a little bit annoying that billionaires, as 505 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: they tend to do, are trying to ruin a good thing. 506 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,640 Speaker 1: When you like, when you were talking, I thought to myself, 507 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: you mentioned, you know you've made friends, You got to 508 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 1: know coworkers, you met your wife on Twitter. That's pretty incredible. 509 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: Um that. Uh. I became friends with West on Twitter 510 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: like a year and a half before he came to 511 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: the NFL, and we had tweeted back and forth about um, 512 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: things that annoyed us, about books that we love. Fred 513 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: Extulely's a fan notes which he's shared with you guys, 514 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: like notably, And I was like, I don't, like, you 515 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,360 Speaker 1: know what Chris looks like, or I've never seen him 516 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 1: on a video thing because there was no Chris video 517 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,959 Speaker 1: back then. He didn't do that stuff. And like, I 518 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: just got to know him through words and through and 519 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: through writing. And so for me, I can get real 520 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 1: cynical about what Twitter is. But that's the high point. 521 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: I also can think of about maybe a d eighty 522 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: tweets that I've sent out over the last ten years 523 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 1: that I kind of wish I didn't. Um. So there's 524 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: that element of I mean, that's the low, that's the low, 525 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: the low ebb of it. Yes, but it is a 526 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: powerful venue. I love that the the YouTube comments I 527 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: jumped in there was reading them live, had a few myself. Um, 528 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: we're expecting like a takedown of what's going on on Twitter. 529 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 1: But I think clai Bon reminded us of all of 530 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: our better selves. He was like, Jeff, Saturday is gonna 531 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 1: be on Sunday, um in that locker room when everyone's 532 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: expecting it to go poorly, and he's got to make 533 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: us want to run through a brick wall for for Twitter. 534 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 1: Twitter survives? Are you picking the Colt screen? Maybe maybe 535 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,479 Speaker 1: Mark grabbing off of me. I'm very pro cults on Sunday. 536 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 1: I cannot wait to see what Sundays with Saturday is 537 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: pretty fun. I just want to add to all of 538 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,959 Speaker 1: this discussion that I wouldn't even have this job if 539 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 1: it weren't for Twitter. I became friends with the social 540 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,719 Speaker 1: media manager of the Tennessee Titans. He sent my resume 541 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 1: to the NFL like this would this wouldn't even be 542 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 1: happening right now off it wasn't for Twitter. So that's 543 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 1: a prow. I'm justin. I adore you and think that 544 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: you're wonderful at your job, and I'm glad that Twitter 545 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: exists so that you exist in our lives and our fold. 546 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 1: Thank you for being here. Thank you. That'll be a job. Um. 547 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: Good stuff, good stuff, all right, it's time now and 548 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: I crowdsourced it this week with our amazing listeners. Um 549 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: what is accra shore. It is time now for the 550 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal Week ten Injury Minute, presented by Akrashore safety 551 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: nets for circus acrobats. Again. This is injury news as 552 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: of one thirty Eastern time. Do check your latest injury 553 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: report later in the day. In David and Joku and 554 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: uh Jeremiah Uso Kormore both out for the Browns. Denzel Award, 555 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: as Mark mentioned, will be back this week. Darren Waller 556 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: and Hunter Renfro were both placed on injured reserve Thursday. 557 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: Good Luck Raiders h Jonathan Taylor is practicing and is 558 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: likely back. Josin Josh Allen didn't practice all week. You 559 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: might know his status by the time you hear this, 560 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: but it's not looking good. Jordan Poyer is also out. 561 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay's back, Ezekiel Elliott's back, Antoine Winfield is back. 562 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: Just engages out a Russell gage rather for the Bucks. 563 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: Mike Williams and Keenan Allen have not practiced as of 564 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: this taping. Matthew Stafford has not practiced. It's looking like 565 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: Johnny Walford of them, maybe they'll mix in a little 566 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: Bryce Hopkins. Ryan dani Hill is limited and does seem 567 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 1: to be practicing more trending towards the return. But I'm 568 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: not going out on a limb like Tannehill. I mean 569 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 1: like Graver there. Justin Verrett, very disappointingly is out for 570 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: the seasoning after tearing his achilles. That is disappointing. My guy, 571 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 1: Pete Warner looks like he's gonna miss for a very 572 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: banged up Saints team. kJ Hamdler got hurt in Germany 573 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: and won't play this week, and uh, Eric Stokes is 574 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 1: gonna be out for the Packers. Shack Leonard, by the way, 575 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: has uh suffered an injury or at least just isn't 576 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: getting over that injury. It's kind of been a quiet 577 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: part of this Colt season. He's not looked the same 578 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: at all, and he is back to being out and 579 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: let me go out on a limb on that one 580 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: little PostScript that the owner is not rushing Shack Leonard 581 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 1: back to action. Well, he's been playing and it's awkward, 582 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: but he's probably been their worst player and has been 583 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: a big problem for the defense. And see in July. 584 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: It's just too interesting Sundays was Saturday? Did you say 585 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: kJ Hamler was in Germany? Did I? I that was 586 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: a brain fart that I should not have said that, 587 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: but that, but Greg, that would keep him out of 588 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 1: the game, So that's possibly true. Correction, he is definitely 589 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: not in Germany. I mixed up like the old Russell 590 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: Wilson team and the one he's playing anything else Grave 591 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: Digger before from the listeners, before we get to our 592 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: fearless prediction, Um no, I catch Flatwood. It's fun. Let's 593 00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: come on, there's a million great ones looking at stream through. 594 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 1: It's tough. It's don't know how to do all right, 595 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: Jim w Will the league shift their head coach criteria? 596 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday is a successful coach? Oh, I see what 597 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: you're saying. Um, So to hire Yes, every what is 598 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: more copycat than like coach Sean McVeigh, boy Wonder succeeds, 599 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 1: So we're gonna hire twelve other boy Wonders and four 600 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: of the least he was in Like the um the 601 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: world of NFL coaching, this that. I don't know if 602 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: a copycat scenario presents itself here. But what do you 603 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: guys think, Yeah, the copycat is the owners get to 604 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: do whatever they want, so right, it depends if he 605 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: becomes their head coach, and Jim Mercy did kind of 606 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: indicate that it could be something beyond this year. Maybe 607 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: it'd be something to do with an interim I mean 608 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: interim coaches. What does it really matter? And that on 609 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: some level you kind of keep the coaching staff in 610 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: the same spots that they were in. But if they 611 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 1: actually give him the real job next year, that's a 612 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: little different. Alright. What else we out here? A W 613 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 1: please take my wife out to dinner? Pat Wow suck scenario. 614 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: That's that's that's for you to do a W. But 615 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 1: I'm I'm rooting for you. I'm rooting for everybody. AW 616 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: is not quite understanding how marriage works apparently here. But 617 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: well he has a different viewpoint on it, Peter. Our 618 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: point of view, you're a good hedge head coach. Who 619 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 1: was available? Which hot seat most interests you? Oh? I 620 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: like this one the Arizona Cardinals, although I would love 621 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 1: it if there is a different GM there because Kyler 622 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: Murray is their quarterback. I would like to work with 623 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: him and watching Cliff Kingsbury try to rally the troops 624 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: and just thinking of the veterans that have been in 625 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 1: that locker room for three years and what they're thinking 626 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: when he speaks to them. I think that that place 627 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: is due for a coach that looks good replacing Cliff. 628 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: I don't think that Kyler is the problem there, but 629 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's the solution either. I don't know. 630 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: I might go Detroit. I'm going, I'm going right here 631 00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: in southern California, And well, that's a good point. I 632 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: fire right now, one more fry farms. At the halfway 633 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 1: point of the season. Is Kirk Cousins still the prime meridian? 634 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 1: Is he the Dalton mine for quarterbacks? But he kind 635 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: of goes up and down and he just has But 636 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 1: I mean there's I mean, what's the prim ridian right now? 637 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: Is like this season? Like, I think he's playing above 638 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins levels for the most part. I think he's 639 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 1: a unique player because I think he's been above the 640 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 1: prime meridian this whole time. That's the whole that idea. 641 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 1: We've never put him up as the Dalton scale. He's 642 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: just this weird spot where he's like twelve always and 643 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 1: that's not the middle that's why he's getting that all 644 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: that guaranteed money. Is he's like slightly better than it was. 645 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 1: It was a car. There was a Tan Tannehills car. 646 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: What I don't think So it was out in the 647 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 1: comments section, what car Fields perfect. His car is back 648 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 1: to sinking because of what's going on around him. But 649 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 1: he's fine. It's like, he's not the solution, He's not 650 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: the problem. Yeah, that I think we talked about that 651 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 1: in the episode. That the fact that Cousins keeps getting 652 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: gobs of money is he is such a kind of 653 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 1: a unique dude that nobody knows what to do with him, 654 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:12,719 Speaker 1: so you just keep giving him all this money. But 655 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 1: he also is, like Greg says, not a top ten quarterback, 656 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 1: but he's also not at bottom sixteen. It's he's got 657 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: a nice spot, all right. Anyway, Uh, let's move now 658 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 1: to fearless predictions. What do we have Last week? Mr 659 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 1: Grave Digga, we had a bunch of predictions that went awry. 660 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 1: Mark had four on his own. Mark said the Titans 661 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,839 Speaker 1: will beat the Chiefs by ten plus points. That did 662 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 1: not know that was looking good for a minute. For 663 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 1: a second. If if Tannehill played, that could have happened. 664 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: Dan will turn full villain on Zach Wilson by sundown 665 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 1: on Sunday. I am not full villain. Uh No. Zack 666 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,320 Speaker 1: Wilson beat Curious and the Bills, so he's some doubt 667 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 1: they're still them. Greg will eat cottage cheese at some 668 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: point during the weekend. I actually don't know if Mark 669 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 1: was correct about this or not what happen, right, It's 670 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:05,720 Speaker 1: been months, it's been And also Mark said that Rachel 671 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 1: will hike Runyon Canyon and encounter Diego Luna and then 672 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 1: went off on a big, long, fantastical tangent. I don't 673 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,800 Speaker 1: think any of that happened, because Rachel flew to Munich 674 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: before that could happen. Okay, Greg said the Falcons would 675 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 1: rush for two hundred and seventeen plus yards against the Chargers, 676 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,760 Speaker 1: but the committee would still have no ruling on Mark's guys, 677 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 1: Tyler Algier. That was close, Greg, the Falcon's rush for 678 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 1: two hundred and one yards but lost. And you're certainly 679 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,399 Speaker 1: right about the second part. We're still three to four 680 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 1: weeks in terms of the processing. I mean, Algier had 681 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,719 Speaker 1: three catches for negative seventeen yards last night, so I 682 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: don't know what the like the big competition for the 683 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,400 Speaker 1: guy is thing. Here's part of a five man running 684 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,399 Speaker 1: back committee. I've never seen such a big committee. Also, 685 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 1: it's a it's a holiday weekend, so you know how 686 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 1: that backs up paperwork. So I think we're back up 687 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,840 Speaker 1: to four to six. Okay, um Dan said the Chargers 688 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 1: would lose to the falcon Is because the Chargers are 689 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,720 Speaker 1: the Dalton scale of teams. You're correct about the Chargers 690 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:05,799 Speaker 1: being the Dalton scale of teams, but incorrect in the 691 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,320 Speaker 1: prediction about the Falcons. What a clown show. The Falcons 692 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 1: just banging the over and over weekend, faux feisty, faux spicy. Yeah, 693 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 1: they they've lost it, by the way, they are no 694 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 1: longer spicy, They're no longer here and that they are 695 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:23,280 Speaker 1: they are, they are. And finally, Rachel with the only 696 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 1: correct predictions, said that Aaron Rodgers would lose to the Lions, 697 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: although she also said he would burn sage on the field, 698 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:33,239 Speaker 1: which I think that part if you don't know, we 699 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,239 Speaker 1: don't know that. We'll have to follow that up. All right, 700 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 1: I'll go first with a prediction, very straightforward. We talked 701 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,840 Speaker 1: about it on the Thursday show. The Rams are in 702 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:47,240 Speaker 1: the worst way. Who do they have again this week? Cardinals? Cardinals? 703 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 1: The Rams in the worst way need one of their 704 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,319 Speaker 1: stars to win a game, and Aaron Donald, who's had 705 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 1: a quiet season. I'm not blaming on Aaron Donald Donald 706 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 1: because there's all sorts of issues with that team, but 707 00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,799 Speaker 1: he has not had the year you expect to. Statistically 708 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:05,799 Speaker 1: that changes. He's gonna have multiple sacks and force a turnover. Uh, 709 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,880 Speaker 1: you know, be a star of this game in a 710 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:14,359 Speaker 1: big Rams win like that. It's good, all right, Mark? 711 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,359 Speaker 1: Oh no, we're gonna save Mark because this is all 712 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,240 Speaker 1: just the build up to Mark at this point. Greg. Okay, 713 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 1: my favorite moment, or one of my favorite moments, I 714 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 1: shouldn't say my favorite, but one of my favorite moments 715 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 1: of our live show in London is when a listener 716 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 1: came after me for talking too much about Gino, and 717 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 1: then the rest of the crowd rallied behind me and 718 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,920 Speaker 1: started chanting Gino. Well, that won't be the only international 719 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,960 Speaker 1: chant of Gino this year. The German fans at some 720 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:46,560 Speaker 1: point will be chanting gen no, geno, Gino when the 721 00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:50,520 Speaker 1: Seahawks take down the box. All right, so they have 722 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 1: the chant Gino and they need to win. They need 723 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 1: to win too. And by the way, we might we 724 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 1: might have another live show coming up in the Los 725 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 1: Angeles air you. Uh, let's just put a little tease there, 726 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 1: little tease there for the wet clay mix on that 727 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:13,160 Speaker 1: one batrick. I'm also gonna go super simple, mainly because 728 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,879 Speaker 1: I'm I'm over on the season on predictions right here 729 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 1: on the Friday Fun Show. So no, you got it 730 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 1: last week two weeks ago. Either way you did two 731 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,279 Speaker 1: weeks ago, I don't know. It feels like, all right, 732 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 1: I'm uh, forty seven points more than forty seven points 733 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,840 Speaker 1: will be scored in Santa Clara on Sunday. Uh. The 734 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: arrival of Christian McCaffrey has broken something within Kyle shanahan. Also, 735 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 1: they got a bunch of guys back on offense the 736 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,720 Speaker 1: forty hours and Chargers will score a lot of points, 737 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 1: almost fifty. Yes, Claibon, you said that Giants would score 738 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 1: under twenty one against the Seahawks and you were correct. 739 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 1: Look at that. So this this feels, you know, close 740 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 1: to a Clay bonn rainmaker. Essentially, we need we'll need 741 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:57,200 Speaker 1: to work here again today, Greg and Patrick. Don't don't 742 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,200 Speaker 1: rule out the possibility that you hit on this one too, 743 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 1: because after the Giants prediction, you do have some momentum. 744 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 1: All right, Mark closed it out. Okay, it is a 745 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:12,279 Speaker 1: m A swift three part uh one, it will not 746 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,760 Speaker 1: be swift, well, it will be. At one, a player 747 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,000 Speaker 1: is forcefully kicked by someone. Um and Dan, I know 748 00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 1: that you and I were working together during this. I'm 749 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,759 Speaker 1: thinking of the Nodomican Sioux match Shop Thanksgiving incidents. Something 750 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,120 Speaker 1: on that level will occur. As as if working on 751 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:31,799 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving doesn't suck enough, then you have the star of 752 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 1: the Lions kicking a guy in the nards was great. Yeah. 753 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 1: I had to take a plane that day out of 754 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,359 Speaker 1: l a X and I was assigned to that game. 755 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,279 Speaker 1: And they're like eighteen spinoff posts. It's like, come on, 756 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:47,320 Speaker 1: football gods, you're already annoying. UM. Part two, Tony Romo 757 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:51,759 Speaker 1: starts weeping out of happiness and a boylike excitement, and 758 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:55,720 Speaker 1: then starts speaking in tongues. After a particularly elite Patrick 759 00:39:55,760 --> 00:40:01,000 Speaker 1: Mahomes touchdown pass, they quickly cut the commercial break. UM three, 760 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,920 Speaker 1: stop there at top that that's your best one all year. 761 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:05,919 Speaker 1: I love you know what I'm starting to think because 762 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,480 Speaker 1: I think we all get the vibe that maybe Tony's 763 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 1: not working quite as hard as before he got the bag, 764 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,279 Speaker 1: that he's just doing these games because he doesn't need 765 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 1: to do really and he's studying at this point in 766 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,360 Speaker 1: the homes because he's called almost every one of his 767 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 1: games in the last five years. Right, just play the hits. 768 00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 1: I I totally I'm with you on that. That analysis 769 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:27,239 Speaker 1: the third one in Germany, Colleen or Rachel will get 770 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,239 Speaker 1: a selfie with Tom Brady before the weekend raps. Oh, 771 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 1: that's good. You could see that he's kind of kept 772 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,319 Speaker 1: in shrink wrap on I don't know. Well, that's so 773 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 1: it would be so it's not a home run. It's 774 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,840 Speaker 1: not an easy prediction. It's uh, you know not. And 775 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:49,839 Speaker 1: that's why I think you should be free, free Sessler free. Alright, Wait, 776 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,640 Speaker 1: do they think everybody? No one or the other. It's 777 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:55,080 Speaker 1: got to be a friend of the show one. That's 778 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 1: the only two friends of the show that I that 779 00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,480 Speaker 1: I truly know. Well, I guess the Good Morning Football 780 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,640 Speaker 1: cruise over there, all the shots fired to no. I 781 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 1: just I was trying to think of like like like 782 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 1: people that come on our show all the time, and 783 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,879 Speaker 1: Colleen and Rachel. Joe Thomas just heard this and was like, Oh, 784 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:10,720 Speaker 1: what the heck, Mark, I thought we had a bond. 785 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,920 Speaker 1: You know you're Browns fan. I I love everyone is 786 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,000 Speaker 1: over there with with the deepest part of my heart. 787 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,480 Speaker 1: Rich Eisen's like, I started this network. You you don't 788 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,920 Speaker 1: like me, don't missed opportunity there, Mark to lob the 789 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,359 Speaker 1: grenade back. Oh you know, Peter and all the guys. 790 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:30,879 Speaker 1: I'm not looking to create um problems. All right, thank 791 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:34,120 Speaker 1: you everybody for listening. Enjoy your weekend, enjoy the football 792 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:37,359 Speaker 1: On Sunday. We'll be back with the flagship program. Until then, 793 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 1: free Mark Sesler and he's the call.
