1
00:00:06,413 --> 00:00:08,933
Speaker 1: NFL Covers Zero with Matt Jones and Drew Franklin is

2
00:00:08,933 --> 00:00:12,373
Speaker 1: a production of the NFL and iHeart podcast.

3
00:00:20,373 --> 00:00:22,333
Speaker 2: Alight. It is Cover zero.

4
00:00:22,453 --> 00:00:25,813
Speaker 1: And in his playoff time, we it's the Wildcard Round

5
00:00:26,053 --> 00:00:30,572
Speaker 1: six Games of excitement. It is also what do you

6
00:00:30,613 --> 00:00:36,853
Speaker 1: call the Tuesday after Black Monday? The melancholy violent Tuesday.

7
00:00:37,493 --> 00:00:41,013
Speaker 1: Drew is on vacation but was gracious enough to leave

8
00:00:41,613 --> 00:00:46,173
Speaker 1: his millionaire beach house to join us, and Drew, good

9
00:00:46,173 --> 00:00:47,173
Speaker 1: to see you.

10
00:00:47,173 --> 00:00:47,653
Speaker 2: You as well.

11
00:00:47,693 --> 00:00:49,493
Speaker 3: You all will be proud my first day on the

12
00:00:49,533 --> 00:00:52,653
Speaker 3: bench or beach. I pretty much just scrolled through anytime

13
00:00:52,693 --> 00:00:55,573
Speaker 3: touchdown scores and NFL news, so I'm ready to go.

14
00:00:55,893 --> 00:00:58,533
Speaker 1: That's exactly what your wife was hoping for when you

15
00:00:58,573 --> 00:01:00,733
Speaker 1: went down there. She was wanting to make sure to

16
00:01:00,733 --> 00:01:05,212
Speaker 1: get her to get her picks in. So I guess

17
00:01:05,212 --> 00:01:07,533
Speaker 1: what we'll do is we'll go, oh three parts. We'll

18
00:01:07,572 --> 00:01:12,413
Speaker 1: start with the coaches that got fired, then sort of

19
00:01:12,693 --> 00:01:15,133
Speaker 1: the news and notes, and then the playoffs.

20
00:01:15,693 --> 00:01:18,172
Speaker 2: So, Billy, I liked it.

21
00:01:18,212 --> 00:01:20,773
Speaker 1: By the way, you're doing the all black Johnny Cash

22
00:01:20,932 --> 00:01:23,813
Speaker 1: PGA look today, double logo.

23
00:01:23,652 --> 00:01:26,533
Speaker 4: Today hat and on the jacket, so we are repping

24
00:01:26,572 --> 00:01:27,053
Speaker 4: the brand.

25
00:01:27,333 --> 00:01:30,253
Speaker 2: Well, why black. It's not a common golf color.

26
00:01:31,012 --> 00:01:33,493
Speaker 4: It goes with the most stuff, so when you have

27
00:01:33,732 --> 00:01:35,813
Speaker 4: a limited number of jackets, you can wear it all

28
00:01:35,853 --> 00:01:36,172
Speaker 4: the time.

29
00:01:37,372 --> 00:01:42,572
Speaker 1: Okay, gotcha. Black does go with everything slimming, so that's good.

30
00:01:43,173 --> 00:01:45,053
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, all right?

31
00:01:45,092 --> 00:01:46,333
Speaker 2: Well, right, by the way.

32
00:01:46,452 --> 00:01:48,213
Speaker 1: You with the go tea and everything, you kind of

33
00:01:48,213 --> 00:01:51,533
Speaker 1: look evil, and I like, I'm kind of liking evil

34
00:01:51,653 --> 00:01:53,013
Speaker 1: Billy here, all right, so.

35
00:01:53,253 --> 00:01:55,213
Speaker 3: I'm saying that for the first time. Actually, what in

36
00:01:55,253 --> 00:01:57,293
Speaker 3: the hell is on your face? I didn't see you

37
00:01:57,333 --> 00:01:59,733
Speaker 3: all this week these last week, So you don't like it?

38
00:01:59,733 --> 00:02:01,093
Speaker 3: You don't want me to keep the Goateea?

39
00:02:01,133 --> 00:02:03,453
Speaker 2: Well no, it's evil, though, Like are you? Are you

40
00:02:03,573 --> 00:02:05,013
Speaker 2: trying to be evil? Billy?

41
00:02:05,413 --> 00:02:07,613
Speaker 4: Well, it's the playoff up front, and you know, as

42
00:02:07,613 --> 00:02:09,213
Speaker 4: an employee of the NFL, I'm going to keep it

43
00:02:09,213 --> 00:02:11,493
Speaker 4: growing until you know Super Bowl Sunday, right what?

44
00:02:11,813 --> 00:02:12,133
Speaker 2: Okay?

45
00:02:12,173 --> 00:02:14,973
Speaker 1: So can we analyze your goate for just a second, like,

46
00:02:15,053 --> 00:02:19,693
Speaker 1: really pick it apart? Go ahead, Sure, very thick chin

47
00:02:20,773 --> 00:02:23,933
Speaker 1: and a thick mustache, but I think you're struggling on

48
00:02:23,973 --> 00:02:27,973
Speaker 1: the line between the two. It looks like maybe not

49
00:02:28,133 --> 00:02:30,653
Speaker 1: as much hair there. One side seems to have very

50
00:02:30,653 --> 00:02:32,693
Speaker 1: little hair at all, what's happening there?

51
00:02:33,133 --> 00:02:35,933
Speaker 4: We're just growing at God's pace, mat. I mean, there's

52
00:02:35,973 --> 00:02:40,653
Speaker 4: really no you know, seerum being used or tactics involved.

53
00:02:40,733 --> 00:02:44,093
Speaker 4: We're just we're here living, all right, Drew?

54
00:02:44,133 --> 00:02:46,773
Speaker 1: What do you think about that? It's sort of I

55
00:02:46,773 --> 00:02:48,373
Speaker 1: don't want to say what I think it looks like

56
00:02:48,453 --> 00:02:50,693
Speaker 1: because I think it's that would get us banned. But

57
00:02:50,773 --> 00:02:53,013
Speaker 1: it's an interesting it's an interesting right. What do you

58
00:02:53,013 --> 00:02:55,093
Speaker 1: think you're a facial hair connoisseur.

59
00:02:55,613 --> 00:02:58,453
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I actually logged on fifteen minutes early because

60
00:02:58,453 --> 00:03:01,093
Speaker 3: Billy and I had to record something else and I've

61
00:03:01,133 --> 00:03:03,613
Speaker 3: been sitting here small talking with him, but where the

62
00:03:03,653 --> 00:03:05,413
Speaker 3: mic is positioned, I couldn't see it.

63
00:03:05,493 --> 00:03:06,853
Speaker 2: So thank you for calling that out.

64
00:03:06,933 --> 00:03:08,973
Speaker 3: I'm fifteen to twenty minutes of looking at him and

65
00:03:09,053 --> 00:03:10,133
Speaker 3: did not see that little.

66
00:03:10,013 --> 00:03:12,133
Speaker 2: Fuzz on his chin. But I like, you're right, it's

67
00:03:12,133 --> 00:03:13,773
Speaker 2: like a it's like a villain. It's like we got

68
00:03:13,813 --> 00:03:16,453
Speaker 2: the evil villay over there. You look like you could

69
00:03:16,453 --> 00:03:18,093
Speaker 2: be the villain in a cartoon.

70
00:03:19,453 --> 00:03:22,253
Speaker 4: I was thinking Austin Powers movie or something. But you

71
00:03:22,293 --> 00:03:23,293
Speaker 4: know what, it's fine.

72
00:03:23,853 --> 00:03:26,773
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks like you're I don't know, gonna get

73
00:03:26,893 --> 00:03:30,493
Speaker 1: droopy dog in the and and find a way to

74
00:03:30,813 --> 00:03:32,853
Speaker 1: take away his treasure.

75
00:03:32,933 --> 00:03:34,053
Speaker 2: Well, I like it.

76
00:03:34,093 --> 00:03:38,293
Speaker 1: This is the all black PGA. Look the goatee. It

77
00:03:38,333 --> 00:03:41,013
Speaker 1: looks like you're trying to plot something evil. So it's

78
00:03:41,053 --> 00:03:43,693
Speaker 1: perfect for the day after all the coaches get fired.

79
00:03:44,813 --> 00:03:46,813
Speaker 1: So let's go ahead and let's go through them here.

80
00:03:47,733 --> 00:03:47,973
Speaker 2: Yeah.

81
00:03:48,013 --> 00:03:51,253
Speaker 4: So there have been four coaches fired since the last

82
00:03:51,293 --> 00:03:55,013
Speaker 4: game of the regular season, including Atlanta Falcons. Raheem Morris.

83
00:03:55,253 --> 00:03:57,333
Speaker 1: Let's go one by one. Okay, let's start with Raheem

84
00:03:57,333 --> 00:04:01,493
Speaker 1: because he was the first one to go. One of

85
00:04:01,493 --> 00:04:03,013
Speaker 1: the things I want to do here is say like,

86
00:04:03,133 --> 00:04:07,653
Speaker 1: how eager would you be for these openings Raheem Morris?

87
00:04:07,853 --> 00:04:10,573
Speaker 1: And there are a couple jobs that are open anyway

88
00:04:10,773 --> 00:04:18,413
Speaker 1: because of other situations. Raheem Morris fifty to fifty chance.

89
00:04:18,493 --> 00:04:20,853
Speaker 1: I thought he still was in Tampa Bay. Like I

90
00:04:21,173 --> 00:04:24,212
Speaker 1: go back and forth. Raheem Morris is someone that you

91
00:04:24,253 --> 00:04:27,013
Speaker 1: could have any given point told me which team he

92
00:04:27,092 --> 00:04:28,933
Speaker 1: was coaching, and I would just guess someone in the

93
00:04:29,053 --> 00:04:32,532
Speaker 1: NFC South. I kind of don't think Atlanta is the

94
00:04:32,573 --> 00:04:34,612
Speaker 1: most exciting job to have in the world. I don't

95
00:04:34,613 --> 00:04:36,612
Speaker 1: think you know who your quarterback nes. So he's going

96
00:04:36,693 --> 00:04:40,212
Speaker 1: to be How will you best remember the Raheem Morris era?

97
00:04:41,573 --> 00:04:43,373
Speaker 3: For one, You're right, I felt like he was a

98
00:04:43,412 --> 00:04:45,892
Speaker 3: hot name in coaching searches for several years while he

99
00:04:45,933 --> 00:04:46,533
Speaker 3: was in Tampa.

100
00:04:46,613 --> 00:04:49,173
Speaker 2: He gets a chance. You only fired the GM too.

101
00:04:49,373 --> 00:04:51,452
Speaker 3: I think the GM did him wrong with that Michael

102
00:04:51,452 --> 00:04:53,933
Speaker 3: Pennocks pick where you just paid Kirk Cousins all that

103
00:04:54,013 --> 00:04:56,813
Speaker 3: money and then go awayte your first draft pick on a.

104
00:04:56,853 --> 00:04:58,812
Speaker 2: Quarterback when you could have gotten a lot of other pieces.

105
00:04:58,813 --> 00:05:00,933
Speaker 3: Maybe Pennocks is good long term, but I think that

106
00:05:01,412 --> 00:05:03,813
Speaker 3: situation alone set him up for failure to begin with.

107
00:05:04,293 --> 00:05:05,373
Speaker 2: I think that was tough.

108
00:05:05,532 --> 00:05:09,133
Speaker 1: And then and then Kirk Cousins wasn't very good, so

109
00:05:09,173 --> 00:05:12,133
Speaker 1: I think that hurt them, hurt him as well. Now

110
00:05:12,133 --> 00:05:15,693
Speaker 1: with that said, they tied for first in the in

111
00:05:15,772 --> 00:05:19,693
Speaker 1: the AFC year NFC South, so you know, if you'd

112
00:05:19,772 --> 00:05:22,133
Speaker 1: just gotten one or two good breaks, I think they

113
00:05:22,212 --> 00:05:24,452
Speaker 1: might have actually still, you know, it was a tie

114
00:05:24,493 --> 00:05:30,173
Speaker 1: for the division champion. Can you name the last Atlanta

115
00:05:30,293 --> 00:05:33,373
Speaker 1: coach that you think was good?

116
00:05:34,972 --> 00:05:39,772
Speaker 2: Dan Quinn? And you said good so loosely there, Davis?

117
00:05:40,013 --> 00:05:43,092
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, U, I guess that's okay? Did he was

118
00:05:43,133 --> 00:05:46,452
Speaker 1: the coach for the Super Bowl, right, you know, he was.

119
00:05:46,573 --> 00:05:48,733
Speaker 2: Twenty four to three coach. I feel like, didn't Dan

120
00:05:48,853 --> 00:05:51,653
Speaker 2: Reeves coach there too? After? After Denver?

121
00:05:52,412 --> 00:05:55,652
Speaker 1: And then I think what Jerry Glanville was the coach

122
00:05:55,693 --> 00:05:59,133
Speaker 1: at one point back in the day. But I still

123
00:05:59,133 --> 00:06:01,892
Speaker 1: think it's a It's a franchise that I don't know,

124
00:06:01,892 --> 00:06:04,373
Speaker 1: if you were to do the best coach in the

125
00:06:04,412 --> 00:06:06,533
Speaker 1: history of each franchise, I think Atlanta's is going to

126
00:06:06,613 --> 00:06:10,013
Speaker 1: come close to the bottom in terms of the most

127
00:06:10,133 --> 00:06:12,532
Speaker 1: historic coach.

128
00:06:11,772 --> 00:06:16,173
Speaker 2: I think of their owner, Arthur Blank with the making.

129
00:06:18,332 --> 00:06:20,732
Speaker 3: But he's got the billy kind of villain thing going

130
00:06:20,772 --> 00:06:22,892
Speaker 3: on to He kind of looks like a cartoon villain.

131
00:06:22,933 --> 00:06:24,373
Speaker 2: So I think of him more than their coaches.

132
00:06:24,412 --> 00:06:26,693
Speaker 1: Actually, he always ends up on the field at the

133
00:06:26,813 --> 00:06:29,053
Speaker 1: end in very uh.

134
00:06:29,133 --> 00:06:31,013
Speaker 2: He he dresses like he owns a funeral home.

135
00:06:31,253 --> 00:06:34,972
Speaker 1: I've always thought that about him, and I you know,

136
00:06:35,133 --> 00:06:39,133
Speaker 1: I think he's uh. I think he seems like a

137
00:06:39,253 --> 00:06:42,293
Speaker 1: nice enough guy. Well, to me, it would be a job,

138
00:06:42,332 --> 00:06:44,573
Speaker 1: if I had my choice of all the jobs, it

139
00:06:44,652 --> 00:06:46,613
Speaker 1: might be the one that I would be the least

140
00:06:46,693 --> 00:06:47,253
Speaker 1: interested in.

141
00:06:47,412 --> 00:06:48,133
Speaker 2: What do you think?

142
00:06:51,452 --> 00:06:53,853
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have some favorites in the mix that we'll

143
00:06:53,853 --> 00:06:56,292
Speaker 3: get to. But as I run through him in my head, yeah,

144
00:06:56,293 --> 00:06:57,693
Speaker 3: I don't know. If it's saying you're in a division

145
00:06:57,693 --> 00:06:59,573
Speaker 3: that's not usually very good, Well, you're in a.

146
00:06:59,493 --> 00:07:02,892
Speaker 1: Winnable division that's that could get me, that you could

147
00:07:02,892 --> 00:07:03,573
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs.

148
00:07:03,892 --> 00:07:04,932
Speaker 2: It could be very good.

149
00:07:05,013 --> 00:07:09,013
Speaker 1: And b John Robinson is obviously a positive guy to have.

150
00:07:09,053 --> 00:07:10,372
Speaker 2: In your on your team.

151
00:07:10,493 --> 00:07:13,093
Speaker 3: So I think it's not one of the four that

152
00:07:13,213 --> 00:07:15,893
Speaker 3: just got fired. But there's six openings. I would say

153
00:07:15,893 --> 00:07:18,013
Speaker 3: of the six openings, my team that's been had an

154
00:07:18,013 --> 00:07:20,733
Speaker 3: opening for a while maybe the last of all those.

155
00:07:20,973 --> 00:07:22,933
Speaker 1: Well, that's true, you but you might think you have

156
00:07:22,973 --> 00:07:25,533
Speaker 1: your quarterback, depend on what you think of came warning A.

157
00:07:25,533 --> 00:07:26,373
Speaker 2: Right, what's the next one?

158
00:07:26,573 --> 00:07:29,493
Speaker 4: Kevin Stefanski let go by the Browns two time coach

159
00:07:29,493 --> 00:07:32,173
Speaker 4: of the year forty five and fifty six in his

160
00:07:32,373 --> 00:07:33,133
Speaker 4: six seasons.

161
00:07:34,893 --> 00:07:37,413
Speaker 1: I understand why they did this, but I'm not sure

162
00:07:37,413 --> 00:07:40,893
Speaker 1: that I think it's a great decision to let him

163
00:07:40,933 --> 00:07:42,413
Speaker 1: go because I think he's a really good coach. It

164
00:07:42,413 --> 00:07:44,453
Speaker 1: wouldn't shot me if he gets one of these other

165
00:07:44,653 --> 00:07:48,893
Speaker 1: job openings. To be quite frank with you, I guess

166
00:07:49,293 --> 00:07:54,213
Speaker 1: the reasoning is that you say, well, we're going to

167
00:07:54,293 --> 00:07:57,533
Speaker 1: restart because I don't think they're choosing Shador Now. He

168
00:07:57,653 --> 00:08:00,213
Speaker 1: was very quick to leak out within minutes that he

169
00:08:00,213 --> 00:08:03,693
Speaker 1: didn't want Deshaun fast like that or Deshaun Watson. Excuse me,

170
00:08:03,973 --> 00:08:07,853
Speaker 1: that came out within seconds him being let go. I

171
00:08:07,933 --> 00:08:12,493
Speaker 1: think that was intentional. I actually think Stefancy's a very

172
00:08:12,493 --> 00:08:13,333
Speaker 1: good coach, so.

173
00:08:13,293 --> 00:08:15,693
Speaker 2: I don't know that. I think Drew this is a

174
00:08:15,693 --> 00:08:16,292
Speaker 2: good decision.

175
00:08:16,933 --> 00:08:19,293
Speaker 3: Yay. It took over right around Covid got in the

176
00:08:19,293 --> 00:08:21,852
Speaker 3: playoffs as a coach in your trophy. In his case,

177
00:08:22,133 --> 00:08:24,133
Speaker 3: I'd say his phone will ring very quickly, and he

178
00:08:24,213 --> 00:08:25,733
Speaker 3: might even be coaching one of these own teams we're

179
00:08:25,773 --> 00:08:26,252
Speaker 3: talking about.

180
00:08:26,453 --> 00:08:27,493
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you will.

181
00:08:27,733 --> 00:08:30,773
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're Atlanta or one of these other teams,

182
00:08:30,813 --> 00:08:33,213
Speaker 1: I think you would look at him. The Browns can't

183
00:08:33,213 --> 00:08:36,293
Speaker 1: get out of their own way. Do you believe his

184
00:08:36,493 --> 00:08:39,693
Speaker 1: leak that he had no interest in Deshaun Watson.

185
00:08:40,373 --> 00:08:42,693
Speaker 3: I think so, just the fact that because if I

186
00:08:42,813 --> 00:08:44,493
Speaker 3: were there, I wouldn't want everyone to know that I

187
00:08:44,533 --> 00:08:45,773
Speaker 3: didn't want to be a part of that or want

188
00:08:45,733 --> 00:08:46,733
Speaker 3: anything to do with that either.

189
00:08:47,053 --> 00:08:49,933
Speaker 2: So I would say the hurrying us woul getting out there.

190
00:08:50,373 --> 00:08:52,813
Speaker 1: I did like the owner who said in the press conference,

191
00:08:53,133 --> 00:08:55,413
Speaker 1: one thing the Browns have always stood for is getting

192
00:08:55,493 --> 00:08:56,573
Speaker 1: high character guys.

193
00:08:56,773 --> 00:08:59,253
Speaker 2: I like that answer, you know, I mean you might

194
00:08:59,293 --> 00:09:02,253
Speaker 2: as well. I mean, it's twenty twenty six.

195
00:09:02,413 --> 00:09:04,693
Speaker 1: Just say anything, right, like you can just say whatever

196
00:09:04,733 --> 00:09:07,373
Speaker 1: and people go, oh, of course, stay like high character

197
00:09:07,413 --> 00:09:08,293
Speaker 1: guys in Cleveland.

198
00:09:08,493 --> 00:09:09,333
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't they?

199
00:09:10,093 --> 00:09:12,853
Speaker 3: Or maybe the lowest character and had worse trade in history,

200
00:09:12,893 --> 00:09:13,813
Speaker 3: whatever you want to call it.

201
00:09:13,973 --> 00:09:15,333
Speaker 2: But when you're not winning, I guess you got to

202
00:09:15,333 --> 00:09:17,773
Speaker 2: try to point to something or make it up at least, well,

203
00:09:18,413 --> 00:09:19,453
Speaker 2: what's the next one, Billy.

204
00:09:20,133 --> 00:09:23,333
Speaker 4: The Arizona Cardinals have moved on from Jonathan Gannon after

205
00:09:23,373 --> 00:09:26,813
Speaker 4: three seasons. He went fifteen and thirty six and never

206
00:09:26,813 --> 00:09:28,773
Speaker 4: figured out Kyler Murray during that time either.

207
00:09:30,333 --> 00:09:33,413
Speaker 1: I kind of knew this was going to end as

208
00:09:33,453 --> 00:09:36,053
Speaker 1: soon as I saw his welcome to the team video.

209
00:09:37,693 --> 00:09:40,333
Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember when they initially showed

210
00:09:40,413 --> 00:09:44,213
Speaker 1: him talking to the team. He was like, Okay, guys,

211
00:09:45,173 --> 00:09:48,373
Speaker 1: we're gonna be playing football here and it's gonna be

212
00:09:48,453 --> 00:09:49,373
Speaker 1: it's gonna be swell.

213
00:09:49,853 --> 00:09:51,533
Speaker 2: And I thought, yeah, this isn't gonna work.

214
00:09:51,613 --> 00:09:53,973
Speaker 1: I just I knew immediately, like I didn't need to

215
00:09:53,973 --> 00:09:58,013
Speaker 1: see one other thing. I another team where Jerry Glanville

216
00:09:58,013 --> 00:09:59,733
Speaker 1: has coached, another team.

217
00:09:59,533 --> 00:10:02,613
Speaker 2: That really doesn't have an iconic head coach.

218
00:10:03,133 --> 00:10:08,373
Speaker 1: I knew within seconds that the Jonathan Gannon thing wouldn't work.

219
00:10:08,413 --> 00:10:10,053
Speaker 2: And three years later, that's where we are.

220
00:10:10,373 --> 00:10:12,253
Speaker 3: Hey managed to make it in three years for a

221
00:10:12,293 --> 00:10:15,133
Speaker 3: franchise that doesn't have much of a winning tradition and

222
00:10:15,173 --> 00:10:18,533
Speaker 3: a quarterback that's been pretty inconsistent that had high hopes.

223
00:10:19,613 --> 00:10:20,573
Speaker 2: With the Browns.

224
00:10:20,733 --> 00:10:22,973
Speaker 3: Maybe we can include the Falcons, but certainly the Browns.

225
00:10:23,013 --> 00:10:25,173
Speaker 3: These are just a couple places that don't have much

226
00:10:25,293 --> 00:10:28,173
Speaker 3: culture or anything to point to right now. And sure

227
00:10:28,253 --> 00:10:31,053
Speaker 3: Gannon probably need to go more than the Browns coach,

228
00:10:31,133 --> 00:10:32,893
Speaker 3: but it just feels like these places are doing when

229
00:10:32,933 --> 00:10:33,413
Speaker 3: you get hired.

230
00:10:33,453 --> 00:10:36,493
Speaker 1: Oh guys, all four of these jobs where they fired

231
00:10:36,493 --> 00:10:41,453
Speaker 1: their goud Monday have been four franchises that pretty much

232
00:10:41,493 --> 00:10:43,453
Speaker 1: have been horrible for the last decade.

233
00:10:43,533 --> 00:10:44,573
Speaker 2: I mean all four of them.

234
00:10:44,933 --> 00:10:46,973
Speaker 1: And I guess there's a part of it where you just,

235
00:10:48,093 --> 00:10:51,413
Speaker 1: you know, I guess you're just playing musical chairs with

236
00:10:51,453 --> 00:10:55,733
Speaker 1: the coaches. But it is kind of I mean, I guess, okay,

237
00:10:55,893 --> 00:10:58,733
Speaker 1: by Jonathan Gannon, Who's next, Who's gonna be the next

238
00:10:58,773 --> 00:10:59,973
Speaker 1: one that's gonna have the.

239
00:10:59,973 --> 00:11:01,093
Speaker 2: Job for three years?

240
00:11:01,373 --> 00:11:03,733
Speaker 1: I just I guess there must just be a culture

241
00:11:03,773 --> 00:11:06,693
Speaker 1: of when you're in that much heat, you're just not

242
00:11:06,733 --> 00:11:09,013
Speaker 1: going to do well. Because Arizona is a pretty also

243
00:11:09,213 --> 00:11:12,133
Speaker 1: dead end job it is, they'll just go. I guess

244
00:11:12,253 --> 00:11:14,333
Speaker 1: Gannon was a defensive coordinator with Eagles.

245
00:11:14,373 --> 00:11:14,773
Speaker 2: They'll just go.

246
00:11:14,813 --> 00:11:16,933
Speaker 3: Whoever wins the super Bowl this year, they'll probably go

247
00:11:16,973 --> 00:11:18,213
Speaker 3: out and get one of their coordinators.

248
00:11:18,373 --> 00:11:20,813
Speaker 2: Repeat the cycle n season three in this league.

249
00:11:20,853 --> 00:11:22,853
Speaker 1: I hope he gives a better intro speech though, the

250
00:11:22,893 --> 00:11:26,013
Speaker 1: Gannon speech. If you want to ever look for when

251
00:11:26,013 --> 00:11:28,333
Speaker 1: you're starting a new job where you're in charge and

252
00:11:28,373 --> 00:11:30,853
Speaker 1: you want to know what not to do, go look

253
00:11:30,893 --> 00:11:33,173
Speaker 1: for his intro video. I think he said something like,

254
00:11:33,373 --> 00:11:35,733
Speaker 1: so who took the bus here? And like no one

255
00:11:35,773 --> 00:11:38,613
Speaker 1: had taken the bus. They're like, we are multi millionaires,

256
00:11:38,693 --> 00:11:42,773
Speaker 1: we do not take the bus to the facility. I

257
00:11:42,853 --> 00:11:44,613
Speaker 1: think it was downhill from there, and then I guess

258
00:11:44,613 --> 00:11:45,173
Speaker 1: what's last?

259
00:11:45,213 --> 00:11:48,133
Speaker 4: Billy Pete Carroll seventy four years old, one and done

260
00:11:48,413 --> 00:11:49,373
Speaker 4: with Las Vegas.

261
00:11:50,253 --> 00:11:54,813
Speaker 1: Embarrassing for him, unfortunately, I mean a great career USC

262
00:11:54,973 --> 00:11:59,373
Speaker 1: national Championships, wins the Super Bowl in Seattle, like a

263
00:11:59,413 --> 00:12:02,973
Speaker 1: lot of old people, lost his fortune in Las Vegas.

264
00:12:02,653 --> 00:12:07,213
Speaker 2: When he tried to go one more round. It's a shame.

265
00:12:07,373 --> 00:12:08,413
Speaker 2: I like Pete Carroll.

266
00:12:08,453 --> 00:12:10,813
Speaker 1: Now, they did get one last win so he could

267
00:12:11,173 --> 00:12:13,253
Speaker 1: go out on top at three and fourteen.

268
00:12:14,973 --> 00:12:18,533
Speaker 2: But I actually thought this had a chance to work.

269
00:12:18,693 --> 00:12:20,413
Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't think they'd win a super Bowl,

270
00:12:20,453 --> 00:12:22,213
Speaker 1: but I thought he actually had a chance to be okay,

271
00:12:22,253 --> 00:12:26,333
Speaker 1: but they were never really competitive. They did, however, win

272
00:12:26,373 --> 00:12:28,933
Speaker 1: the first game of the season and the last game

273
00:12:28,973 --> 00:12:31,733
Speaker 1: of the season. And you know, I've always said it's

274
00:12:31,773 --> 00:12:33,533
Speaker 1: the most important thing is your first day and your

275
00:12:33,573 --> 00:12:36,453
Speaker 1: last day, and Pete Carroll did both those will that's true.

276
00:12:36,493 --> 00:12:39,013
Speaker 3: Good for Pete with their win on the back end,

277
00:12:39,013 --> 00:12:40,613
Speaker 3: though it almost messed them up with their pick. They

278
00:12:40,613 --> 00:12:42,453
Speaker 3: had to be bailed out by the Giants get to

279
00:12:42,453 --> 00:12:44,773
Speaker 3: win there too. But Pete, this is one of those

280
00:12:44,813 --> 00:12:47,053
Speaker 3: though everybody's just gonna you said it, you should have

281
00:12:47,133 --> 00:12:48,373
Speaker 3: just stay retired, man.

282
00:12:48,293 --> 00:12:50,373
Speaker 2: You had a great career. You're seventy four.

283
00:12:50,653 --> 00:12:52,253
Speaker 3: If you want to go to Vegas, just hit the

284
00:12:52,253 --> 00:12:54,253
Speaker 3: slow machine with the other seventy four year olds over

285
00:12:54,253 --> 00:12:55,373
Speaker 3: and over for hours at a time.

286
00:12:55,453 --> 00:12:57,693
Speaker 1: It's hard to be old, though, because like when you're old,

287
00:12:57,773 --> 00:13:00,493
Speaker 1: you still think you can do it, and you still

288
00:13:00,573 --> 00:13:04,733
Speaker 1: want to you still want it to work out. You know,

289
00:13:05,213 --> 00:13:07,533
Speaker 1: you don't want to accept me. I mean I, for

290
00:13:07,533 --> 00:13:10,413
Speaker 1: those of you that watches, I wear these these readers,

291
00:13:10,773 --> 00:13:13,813
Speaker 1: and for some reason, every time I put them on a.

292
00:13:13,773 --> 00:13:15,533
Speaker 2: Little piece of my soul dollars.

293
00:13:15,973 --> 00:13:18,613
Speaker 1: So I really try to strain and say, you know what,

294
00:13:18,693 --> 00:13:22,533
Speaker 1: I can still read this fune like I don't need these,

295
00:13:23,173 --> 00:13:24,773
Speaker 1: And I think that's how Pete was. He was like,

296
00:13:24,813 --> 00:13:27,253
Speaker 1: I can still coach. I don't have to just go

297
00:13:27,333 --> 00:13:29,973
Speaker 1: sit at home. But now he's gonna sit at home

298
00:13:30,013 --> 00:13:32,093
Speaker 1: and he won't get another job. Sad though, because I

299
00:13:32,173 --> 00:13:33,933
Speaker 1: like Pete Carroll. It seems like a fun guy.

300
00:13:34,293 --> 00:13:36,493
Speaker 3: I like Pete too. Well, I'll remember for the Seahawks year.

301
00:13:36,533 --> 00:13:38,893
Speaker 3: Hopefully this will be forgotten. And you're right, he wanted

302
00:13:38,893 --> 00:13:40,373
Speaker 3: to prove he was young, and he said, all right,

303
00:13:40,413 --> 00:13:42,453
Speaker 3: give me the map. I'm going to Vegas and I'm

304
00:13:42,453 --> 00:13:43,733
Speaker 3: going to show him I still got it, and I'm

305
00:13:43,773 --> 00:13:44,653
Speaker 3: taking Geno with me.

306
00:13:44,973 --> 00:13:47,693
Speaker 1: And then next thing, you know, Geno, and that's another one. Well,

307
00:13:47,693 --> 00:13:49,533
Speaker 1: they're going to get the number one pick. Well, I'm

308
00:13:49,573 --> 00:13:54,333
Speaker 1: sure be talking about that. We'll see if Babyface Nerdy

309
00:13:54,613 --> 00:13:58,773
Speaker 1: for Fernando Mendoza. How that's gonna work in Las Vegas.

310
00:13:58,973 --> 00:14:01,773
Speaker 1: I feel like it's gonna be like when is it

311
00:14:02,013 --> 00:14:05,853
Speaker 1: road Trip? When the guy ends up at the party

312
00:14:05,893 --> 00:14:07,733
Speaker 1: with all the women around him. I wonder if that's

313
00:14:07,733 --> 00:14:10,253
Speaker 1: what'll be Mendoza when he gets out on the strip

314
00:14:10,293 --> 00:14:11,053
Speaker 1: for the first time.

315
00:14:11,293 --> 00:14:13,613
Speaker 3: Great road Trip reference. That was the first DVD I

316
00:14:13,693 --> 00:14:15,893
Speaker 3: ever owned. I have the whole movie memorized. That was

317
00:14:15,973 --> 00:14:19,613
Speaker 3: DJ Qualls. I believe Djqalls. Yeah, I like DJ Qualls.

318
00:14:19,613 --> 00:14:20,453
Speaker 3: What's he do now?

319
00:14:20,973 --> 00:14:21,413
Speaker 2: I don't know.

320
00:14:21,773 --> 00:14:24,173
Speaker 3: He had a bit of new life when Ried Shepherd

321
00:14:24,213 --> 00:14:25,973
Speaker 3: got drafted by Houston on the internet.

322
00:14:26,573 --> 00:14:29,253
Speaker 2: He got maimed a lot that I haven't heard much

323
00:14:29,293 --> 00:14:29,773
Speaker 2: from him.

324
00:14:30,013 --> 00:14:33,653
Speaker 1: DJ Qualls, you know, he's always gonna have one type

325
00:14:33,693 --> 00:14:34,093
Speaker 1: of role.

326
00:14:34,213 --> 00:14:35,533
Speaker 2: I don't think he was ever going to be a

327
00:14:35,613 --> 00:14:37,213
Speaker 2: leading man, so.

328
00:14:37,133 --> 00:14:39,773
Speaker 1: He kind of needed there's a kind of role that

329
00:14:39,813 --> 00:14:42,733
Speaker 1: you're just like, this is where we get DJ Qualls And.

330
00:14:42,653 --> 00:14:44,093
Speaker 2: I don't know if they've had one of those in

331
00:14:44,133 --> 00:14:46,093
Speaker 2: a while, but Road Trip's a good movie.

332
00:14:46,133 --> 00:14:50,893
Speaker 1: Although people forget didn't Tom Green like put a rat

333
00:14:50,893 --> 00:14:52,413
Speaker 1: in his mouth or during.

334
00:14:52,253 --> 00:14:55,413
Speaker 3: That movie and he sings about tiny salmon swim in

335
00:14:55,533 --> 00:14:56,693
Speaker 3: that impossible dream.

336
00:14:56,813 --> 00:14:59,853
Speaker 2: I really can't do the whole movie. That's letting me

337
00:14:59,893 --> 00:15:01,213
Speaker 2: a good summer podcast.

338
00:15:01,493 --> 00:15:04,533
Speaker 1: And then the two jobs that were already opened were

339
00:15:04,533 --> 00:15:09,133
Speaker 1: the Giants and the Titans. Let's go with the Giants first.

340
00:15:09,173 --> 00:15:13,453
Speaker 1: I heard Joe Shane, who is my favorite GM, just

341
00:15:13,453 --> 00:15:16,413
Speaker 1: because he was on the one season of Hard Knocks

342
00:15:16,413 --> 00:15:18,533
Speaker 1: where they proved that gms don't know what they're doing.

343
00:15:19,333 --> 00:15:22,253
Speaker 1: They kept him surprisingly, and I heard an interview where

344
00:15:22,293 --> 00:15:23,453
Speaker 1: he was talking about what he was going to do

345
00:15:23,493 --> 00:15:25,973
Speaker 1: for his coach, like what kind of coach he's going

346
00:15:26,013 --> 00:15:28,773
Speaker 1: to look for, And he said something to the effect of,

347
00:15:29,773 --> 00:15:32,373
Speaker 1: we have a lot of time, we're going to study.

348
00:15:32,773 --> 00:15:34,533
Speaker 2: We're going to look at the collegiate ranks.

349
00:15:34,533 --> 00:15:37,573
Speaker 1: And then he said, and we're going to use AI extensively,

350
00:15:38,053 --> 00:15:43,373
Speaker 1: oh to do what I mean, I'm not like, I'm

351
00:15:43,373 --> 00:15:44,733
Speaker 1: not an expert in AI.

352
00:15:45,333 --> 00:15:47,613
Speaker 2: But what is AI going.

353
00:15:47,573 --> 00:15:50,493
Speaker 3: To do to help you pick a coach is it's

354
00:15:50,533 --> 00:15:52,413
Speaker 3: just going to put in their resumes and be like, AI,

355
00:15:52,493 --> 00:15:55,893
Speaker 3: which of these resumes is better? We just we talked

356
00:15:55,893 --> 00:15:58,253
Speaker 3: about AI just a few days ago on here about

357
00:15:58,293 --> 00:16:00,653
Speaker 3: how it's still messing up who could win the Super Bowl?

358
00:16:00,733 --> 00:16:04,733
Speaker 2: Whatever you said the latter, what could he even say? Like,

359
00:16:04,893 --> 00:16:07,173
Speaker 2: I don't even know, honestly.

360
00:16:06,773 --> 00:16:11,733
Speaker 1: Don't know what role AI could conceivably have in picking

361
00:16:11,773 --> 00:16:12,213
Speaker 1: a coach.

362
00:16:13,693 --> 00:16:16,453
Speaker 3: It would have to do his job, like give me

363
00:16:16,613 --> 00:16:18,573
Speaker 3: fifty questions to ask my job.

364
00:16:18,653 --> 00:16:22,093
Speaker 2: Then it was literally to like do that for him.

365
00:16:22,413 --> 00:16:24,813
Speaker 1: I mean, Billy, you're a you're a nerd. What do

366
00:16:24,853 --> 00:16:26,133
Speaker 1: you think I would do?

367
00:16:27,013 --> 00:16:27,573
Speaker 4: Organization?

368
00:16:28,093 --> 00:16:28,413
Speaker 1: Maybe?

369
00:16:29,093 --> 00:16:30,493
Speaker 4: I don't know what there's.

370
00:16:30,333 --> 00:16:33,493
Speaker 1: I mean, there's how many peoples he interview it it

371
00:16:33,493 --> 00:16:36,293
Speaker 1: feels like there's a limited amount.

372
00:16:36,293 --> 00:16:38,373
Speaker 2: Remember the five candidates.

373
00:16:37,973 --> 00:16:39,413
Speaker 4: I mean a little pros comment.

374
00:16:39,293 --> 00:16:40,453
Speaker 2: That's how you get his candidates?

375
00:16:41,493 --> 00:16:44,853
Speaker 1: Oh oh, you think Ai, who should I hire his coach?

376
00:16:44,933 --> 00:16:48,213
Speaker 3: And then he's like, hey, I scanned all of football pro.

377
00:16:50,693 --> 00:16:53,373
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski and DJ Quall those would be the three

378
00:16:53,453 --> 00:16:53,893
Speaker 1: you would get.

379
00:16:54,733 --> 00:16:57,933
Speaker 2: Nick Saban. Nick Saban, Yeah, Well.

380
00:16:57,933 --> 00:16:59,733
Speaker 1: I didn't have a lot of confidence after I heard it,

381
00:16:59,733 --> 00:17:01,733
Speaker 1: because it felt like somebody just told him what a

382
00:17:01,893 --> 00:17:18,093
Speaker 1: I was and he threw it in. And then you're Titan,

383
00:17:18,253 --> 00:17:20,693
Speaker 1: that's your team. What are you looking for in your

384
00:17:20,733 --> 00:17:21,213
Speaker 1: new coach.

385
00:17:22,973 --> 00:17:24,292
Speaker 2: I'll go ahead and tell you I don't like the

386
00:17:24,373 --> 00:17:25,413
Speaker 2: names they are throwing around.

387
00:17:25,453 --> 00:17:27,493
Speaker 3: Somebody randomly on the street the other day is like,

388
00:17:27,493 --> 00:17:29,453
Speaker 3: you're excited about Mike McCarthy, and I was like.

389
00:17:29,413 --> 00:17:32,733
Speaker 2: Don't something on Twitter? Well no, but he was asking

390
00:17:32,773 --> 00:17:33,773
Speaker 2: him his names were thrown out.

391
00:17:33,773 --> 00:17:35,292
Speaker 3: But the way it was presented to me, I was

392
00:17:35,293 --> 00:17:37,332
Speaker 3: like checking my phone, like, oh no, what did I

393
00:17:37,373 --> 00:17:38,253
Speaker 3: miss on Twitter?

394
00:17:39,173 --> 00:17:39,612
Speaker 2: I don't know.

395
00:17:39,693 --> 00:17:41,773
Speaker 3: I just That's what I've said many times when we

396
00:17:41,773 --> 00:17:43,773
Speaker 3: talk about anything with a team, I expect the worst.

397
00:17:44,453 --> 00:17:47,173
Speaker 3: They're at least what I've seen Florida around a lot

398
00:17:47,213 --> 00:17:49,933
Speaker 3: of recycled names like Mike McCarthy, which sounds about like

399
00:17:49,973 --> 00:17:51,733
Speaker 3: something we would do now the.

400
00:17:51,733 --> 00:17:55,292
Speaker 1: Good spot for Raheem Morris, and then I could like,

401
00:17:55,653 --> 00:17:58,733
Speaker 1: I feel like it's already another Southern Division team.

402
00:17:59,093 --> 00:18:02,693
Speaker 2: I can see Raheem Morris there. Yeah, they're gonna do

403
00:18:02,733 --> 00:18:05,532
Speaker 2: the word. I would like a name I haven't watched

404
00:18:05,613 --> 00:18:06,773
Speaker 2: lose on before.

405
00:18:06,773 --> 00:18:08,532
Speaker 3: Maybe take the Cardinals route and just grab me a

406
00:18:08,573 --> 00:18:10,213
Speaker 3: coordinator out of the Super Bowl this year.

407
00:18:10,893 --> 00:18:13,173
Speaker 2: But I don't want a veteran name that I've watched.

408
00:18:13,253 --> 00:18:15,333
Speaker 2: I might make the playoffs over and over somewhere else.

409
00:18:15,333 --> 00:18:18,933
Speaker 2: So not Matta Well, okay, no, he's another one.

410
00:18:19,013 --> 00:18:20,413
Speaker 4: That's the number one, Matt.

411
00:18:20,293 --> 00:18:22,812
Speaker 1: Naggy as a Bears fin. You do not want Matt Naggy.

412
00:18:22,893 --> 00:18:27,013
Speaker 1: Do not get mac Naggy. His name comes up a lot. Yeah,

413
00:18:27,253 --> 00:18:29,253
Speaker 1: stay away from that. I'm just gonna go ahead and

414
00:18:29,253 --> 00:18:32,533
Speaker 1: tell you that's that's that's fool's goal. I did hear

415
00:18:32,653 --> 00:18:34,773
Speaker 1: Rich Eyes. I was listening to Rich Eyes and Show today,

416
00:18:34,773 --> 00:18:38,733
Speaker 1: which I never do. But Kurt Signetti. He was very

417
00:18:38,813 --> 00:18:41,253
Speaker 1: adamant that Kurt Signetti should be hired by one of

418
00:18:41,333 --> 00:18:45,533
Speaker 1: these teams, specifically the Giants. Do you think Kurt Signetti

419
00:18:45,573 --> 00:18:49,292
Speaker 1: would be a good choice for the NFL? And do

420
00:18:49,293 --> 00:18:53,133
Speaker 1: you think there's any chance he would take it? You know,

421
00:18:53,253 --> 00:18:55,613
Speaker 1: they're wins everywhere, so I'm gonna be careful.

422
00:18:55,373 --> 00:18:58,773
Speaker 2: Down boy, I know. But well, when you do google him,

423
00:18:58,773 --> 00:19:00,373
Speaker 2: he seems to go to places.

424
00:18:59,973 --> 00:19:04,093
Speaker 3: That have never won, off the grid colleges and then

425
00:19:04,253 --> 00:19:07,093
Speaker 3: turn them into winners, even at the highest level with Indiana,

426
00:19:07,413 --> 00:19:09,812
Speaker 3: so putting him in a pro system with millionaires and

427
00:19:09,853 --> 00:19:13,133
Speaker 3: he's been but are millionaires now too?

428
00:19:13,613 --> 00:19:15,133
Speaker 2: That's true, That's very true.

429
00:19:15,533 --> 00:19:18,093
Speaker 3: Just the way he coaches too, you know, he's every

430
00:19:18,133 --> 00:19:19,933
Speaker 3: time they show him on the sideline, he looks like

431
00:19:19,933 --> 00:19:21,333
Speaker 3: he's ready to ring someone's neck.

432
00:19:21,453 --> 00:19:23,293
Speaker 2: And I don't know what he's saying, you.

433
00:19:23,253 --> 00:19:24,653
Speaker 3: Know, in the locker room, but I don't know how

434
00:19:24,653 --> 00:19:26,693
Speaker 3: that would translate to to the NFL. But you're right,

435
00:19:27,093 --> 00:19:28,813
Speaker 3: they're making close to about the same amount of money

436
00:19:28,813 --> 00:19:29,733
Speaker 3: in Bloomington right now.

437
00:19:29,773 --> 00:19:33,213
Speaker 2: But you could do worse, right, Oh, definitely. I would

438
00:19:33,293 --> 00:19:35,093
Speaker 2: be happy with him if he wanted to go to Nashville.

439
00:19:35,133 --> 00:19:37,893
Speaker 2: It seems very probable. But I think it's just a

440
00:19:37,893 --> 00:19:41,133
Speaker 2: true college coach. Which of the jobs is the best job?

441
00:19:41,253 --> 00:19:43,773
Speaker 1: Like, if you're going to rank the six, well, hey,

442
00:19:43,813 --> 00:19:45,453
Speaker 1: I'll give you mind and then you tell me if

443
00:19:45,493 --> 00:19:45,853
Speaker 1: you agree.

444
00:19:45,893 --> 00:19:49,253
Speaker 2: If I'm ranking the six in terms of how good the.

445
00:19:49,253 --> 00:19:52,253
Speaker 1: Jobs are, I would say the Giants are kind of

446
00:19:52,253 --> 00:19:55,453
Speaker 1: a definitive number one. You've got a quarterback, You're obviously

447
00:19:55,493 --> 00:19:59,532
Speaker 1: in New York, and I think pretty much everything you

448
00:19:59,573 --> 00:20:01,493
Speaker 1: would want is there.

449
00:20:02,413 --> 00:20:05,052
Speaker 2: I would say number two. It's kind of all in

450
00:20:05,093 --> 00:20:07,373
Speaker 2: the eye of the beholder. In some ways.

451
00:20:08,253 --> 00:20:11,812
Speaker 1: I think I would want the flexibility of picking my

452
00:20:11,973 --> 00:20:16,413
Speaker 1: own quarterback, So I would probably take the Raiders second

453
00:20:16,453 --> 00:20:18,373
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna get the number one choice, and I'm

454
00:20:18,413 --> 00:20:23,733
Speaker 1: gonna get whatever quarterback I would like in the system.

455
00:20:23,973 --> 00:20:26,693
Speaker 1: I would probably say number three for a similar reason

456
00:20:26,733 --> 00:20:30,092
Speaker 1: would be Arizona. Then I get to pick my quarterback.

457
00:20:30,813 --> 00:20:37,173
Speaker 1: Then I would probably say, uh, I mean what I'm

458
00:20:37,173 --> 00:20:42,973
Speaker 1: looking at Titans, Falcons and Browns. I'm probably gonna go

459
00:20:44,413 --> 00:20:49,653
Speaker 1: Titans four, Brown's five, Falcons six. That's probably the way

460
00:20:49,653 --> 00:20:50,373
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it.

461
00:20:50,413 --> 00:20:50,973
Speaker 2: What about you?

462
00:20:51,853 --> 00:20:54,573
Speaker 3: I agree completely with you completely on the Giants. They're

463
00:20:54,613 --> 00:20:57,413
Speaker 3: like a runaway number one for me. You already got

464
00:20:57,653 --> 00:21:02,093
Speaker 3: Scataboo and Dart bringing some juices, rookies or got Waddell's

465
00:21:02,133 --> 00:21:05,453
Speaker 3: looking good. They've got the tradition, they like the one

466
00:21:05,453 --> 00:21:07,572
Speaker 3: of the NFL's first teams.

467
00:21:07,613 --> 00:21:09,293
Speaker 2: I mean, everybody knows the GMN.

468
00:21:09,293 --> 00:21:11,133
Speaker 3: So I'm going there and taking Dart and seeing what

469
00:21:11,173 --> 00:21:15,293
Speaker 3: i can do with that team. A lean joining you Vegas.

470
00:21:15,373 --> 00:21:17,292
Speaker 3: Next part of that's more just me want to be

471
00:21:17,333 --> 00:21:19,773
Speaker 3: in Vegas. But you know the number one pick likely.

472
00:21:19,653 --> 00:21:21,413
Speaker 1: But you give the number one pick, and like if

473
00:21:21,413 --> 00:21:24,813
Speaker 1: you're that's a new coach, you get to get your quarterback.

474
00:21:25,413 --> 00:21:28,133
Speaker 1: Nobody gets in your way, right, Like you're gonna get

475
00:21:28,213 --> 00:21:31,133
Speaker 1: and I mean whatever people think of the choices you

476
00:21:31,173 --> 00:21:31,773
Speaker 1: get to pick.

477
00:21:31,973 --> 00:21:33,653
Speaker 2: You also get to decide if you don't want.

478
00:21:33,533 --> 00:21:35,453
Speaker 1: Any of these guys, and you get like a free

479
00:21:35,573 --> 00:21:38,213
Speaker 1: year to kind of roam around until next year. So

480
00:21:38,253 --> 00:21:41,733
Speaker 1: I mean, I I think that one's probably the best

481
00:21:42,173 --> 00:21:44,093
Speaker 1: of any others, and then.

482
00:21:44,013 --> 00:21:48,693
Speaker 2: I'm going I think Atlanta third. They can't. They can

483
00:21:48,853 --> 00:21:50,933
Speaker 2: the GM. So I'm coming in with a new GM.

484
00:21:51,093 --> 00:21:54,773
Speaker 2: Hopefully we get along. We're starting this together. I give

485
00:21:54,853 --> 00:21:56,133
Speaker 2: a healthy Pinix one year.

486
00:21:57,213 --> 00:21:59,573
Speaker 3: Probably not the long term answer I want, but I

487
00:21:59,613 --> 00:22:01,573
Speaker 3: give them a chance that everybody knows that that wasn't

488
00:22:01,613 --> 00:22:02,933
Speaker 3: my quarterback in my first year.

489
00:22:03,013 --> 00:22:05,213
Speaker 2: And if it stinks the following year, I'm assuming I'm

490
00:22:05,213 --> 00:22:07,333
Speaker 2: not fired at for one year. Taking cam Ward like

491
00:22:07,453 --> 00:22:10,813
Speaker 2: I thought you would take the Titans. I love them.

492
00:22:11,053 --> 00:22:15,933
Speaker 3: That organization is embarrassing, So what they do? I love

493
00:22:16,813 --> 00:22:20,653
Speaker 3: Yes by far last like a gap I can't fit

494
00:22:20,733 --> 00:22:21,572
Speaker 3: in the screen, and.

495
00:22:21,613 --> 00:22:25,133
Speaker 2: I love cam Ward. It's just the moment you look

496
00:22:25,173 --> 00:22:26,213
Speaker 2: around the league right now.

497
00:22:26,613 --> 00:22:29,853
Speaker 3: Kevin Byerd is a Titans legend picking off passes for

498
00:22:29,973 --> 00:22:30,453
Speaker 3: your bears.

499
00:22:30,493 --> 00:22:32,733
Speaker 2: We think about Henry and A. J. Brown in Favril.

500
00:22:32,973 --> 00:22:36,093
Speaker 3: There are Titans everywhere making big plays right now. For

501
00:22:36,173 --> 00:22:38,853
Speaker 3: good teams and they let them all walk out the door.

502
00:22:39,333 --> 00:22:41,733
Speaker 3: So I just have no faith in that organization.

503
00:22:42,133 --> 00:22:45,533
Speaker 1: That's a bad sign if you if you're a Titans fan. Well,

504
00:22:45,533 --> 00:22:47,893
Speaker 1: all right, so those are those are the six jobs.

505
00:22:47,893 --> 00:22:50,053
Speaker 1: There might still be one or two more. Billy, what

506
00:22:50,173 --> 00:22:52,213
Speaker 1: other news and or notes do we have.

507
00:22:52,933 --> 00:22:56,573
Speaker 4: We'll start with Nick Sirianni. He's defending his decision to

508
00:22:56,693 --> 00:23:00,013
Speaker 4: rest the starters in the final week of the regular season.

509
00:23:00,133 --> 00:23:02,213
Speaker 4: He said he knew this was an outcome that these

510
00:23:02,293 --> 00:23:05,533
Speaker 4: things could happen. One thing he could guarantee was giving

511
00:23:05,573 --> 00:23:08,693
Speaker 4: them rest. I couldn't guarantee them anything else, but being

512
00:23:08,773 --> 00:23:11,213
Speaker 4: healthy and going into the playoffs is a big deal

513
00:23:11,293 --> 00:23:12,933
Speaker 4: for us. Are you buying that explanation?

514
00:23:15,013 --> 00:23:16,813
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I'm buying that that's what he thought.

515
00:23:17,213 --> 00:23:18,293
Speaker 2: I disagree with him.

516
00:23:18,493 --> 00:23:21,013
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the playing the Packers would be

517
00:23:21,093 --> 00:23:23,893
Speaker 1: a lot easier than playing the forty nine ers. Now,

518
00:23:24,053 --> 00:23:26,973
Speaker 1: maybe he thinks because the forty nine ers are banged up,

519
00:23:27,253 --> 00:23:30,213
Speaker 1: maybe he thinks they're a better matchup for the team.

520
00:23:31,773 --> 00:23:35,413
Speaker 1: I'll say this, if Cirianni thinks the forty nine ers

521
00:23:35,413 --> 00:23:40,373
Speaker 1: are an easier opponent than the Packers, then it'll play

522
00:23:40,413 --> 00:23:42,213
Speaker 1: itself out and we'll see, and I'll give him the

523
00:23:42,253 --> 00:23:45,373
Speaker 1: benefit of doubt. If he genuinely doesn't think it matters

524
00:23:45,373 --> 00:23:48,532
Speaker 1: who they play though, and rest is more important, I

525
00:23:48,733 --> 00:23:51,293
Speaker 1: just would disagree with that. I think that's an incorrect

526
00:23:51,373 --> 00:23:53,653
Speaker 1: point if he believes. But if he would rather play

527
00:23:53,773 --> 00:23:56,853
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers, then that's fine. But I just don't

528
00:23:56,933 --> 00:24:01,933
Speaker 1: believe that that rest is worth getting a harder opponent,

529
00:24:02,053 --> 00:24:02,253
Speaker 1: do you.

530
00:24:03,733 --> 00:24:04,253
Speaker 2: Not at all?

531
00:24:04,533 --> 00:24:05,893
Speaker 1: He better with?

532
00:24:06,133 --> 00:24:08,413
Speaker 3: And if that's a good team coming to Philly, I

533
00:24:08,493 --> 00:24:10,173
Speaker 3: know you're at home in that place will be rocking,

534
00:24:10,253 --> 00:24:12,053
Speaker 3: but it'll be a bad look if they dropped that

535
00:24:12,133 --> 00:24:13,893
Speaker 3: game with this on the back end. It could have

536
00:24:14,053 --> 00:24:15,653
Speaker 3: nothing to do with it. You know, the guys that

537
00:24:15,773 --> 00:24:18,333
Speaker 3: set could play great. You just lose on a fluke whatever.

538
00:24:18,813 --> 00:24:20,973
Speaker 3: But fans will still be livid if they don't win

539
00:24:21,053 --> 00:24:24,292
Speaker 3: that game after sitting all their stars in week eighteen.

540
00:24:24,733 --> 00:24:27,413
Speaker 2: So okay, you hear me. The Bears lose, and you

541
00:24:27,493 --> 00:24:30,733
Speaker 2: know the Bears are I think if the Bears were

542
00:24:30,773 --> 00:24:32,973
Speaker 2: playing the forty nine ers, obviously we saw the end

543
00:24:33,053 --> 00:24:35,653
Speaker 2: of that game two weeks ago and they lost.

544
00:24:36,293 --> 00:24:38,773
Speaker 1: So I mean the Bears, if you ask them for

545
00:24:38,933 --> 00:24:40,613
Speaker 1: the game, they probably say, yes, I want to play

546
00:24:40,653 --> 00:24:41,213
Speaker 1: the Packers.

547
00:24:41,853 --> 00:24:42,292
Speaker 2: How about this?

548
00:24:43,133 --> 00:24:46,173
Speaker 1: The Bears have never beaten the Packers in the playoffs

549
00:24:46,653 --> 00:24:49,813
Speaker 1: ozh and two. It's kind of crazy those How long

550
00:24:49,933 --> 00:24:53,493
Speaker 1: these franchises have been around and they've only played in

551
00:24:53,533 --> 00:24:56,493
Speaker 1: the playoffs twice. Isn't that kind of an amazing statistic?

552
00:24:57,253 --> 00:24:59,893
Speaker 3: It is, and I hate It's another way that the

553
00:24:59,933 --> 00:25:02,813
Speaker 3: Packers have had your number for the long with the

554
00:25:02,853 --> 00:25:04,973
Speaker 3: win streak and then never getting them in the playoffs.

555
00:25:05,613 --> 00:25:07,573
Speaker 1: We got to get over the hump. We'll get to

556
00:25:07,653 --> 00:25:09,372
Speaker 1: that game. We'll pick it here in a little bit.

557
00:25:09,453 --> 00:25:13,453
Speaker 1: But I disagree with Sirianni on that. But that's another

558
00:25:13,533 --> 00:25:16,573
Speaker 1: dude though. To be fair, I thought his opening press

559
00:25:16,613 --> 00:25:21,613
Speaker 1: conference was the most psychotic ramblings. But I thought it was,

560
00:25:21,853 --> 00:25:23,253
Speaker 1: and then he ended up winning the Super Bowl, So

561
00:25:23,453 --> 00:25:27,973
Speaker 1: maybe sometimes you can have a bad intro and be okay,

562
00:25:28,213 --> 00:25:28,693
Speaker 1: what's next.

563
00:25:29,053 --> 00:25:31,813
Speaker 4: The Seattle Seahawks are the favorite to win the Super

564
00:25:31,853 --> 00:25:34,413
Speaker 4: Bowl at plus three thirty on DraftKings. But I found

565
00:25:34,413 --> 00:25:35,933
Speaker 4: a trend you guys might find interesting.

566
00:25:36,133 --> 00:25:39,453
Speaker 2: Every time, Hey, hang on, it's down a plus three thirty.

567
00:25:39,293 --> 00:25:41,613
Speaker 4: Yes, plus three thirty plus.

568
00:25:41,493 --> 00:25:45,052
Speaker 2: Four point fifty Sunday night. So I wonder what's happened

569
00:25:45,053 --> 00:25:45,773
Speaker 2: in the last.

570
00:25:45,613 --> 00:25:49,573
Speaker 1: Two days to make people think that that seems crazy

571
00:25:49,653 --> 00:25:53,092
Speaker 1: low to me for a playoffs that I think eleven

572
00:25:53,213 --> 00:25:54,493
Speaker 1: teams can win the Super Bowl?

573
00:25:55,133 --> 00:25:57,173
Speaker 2: Do you only get plus three thirty? Is nuts? But

574
00:25:57,293 --> 00:25:57,613
Speaker 2: go ahead.

575
00:25:57,773 --> 00:25:59,532
Speaker 4: I was going to say, there's an interesting trend with

576
00:25:59,613 --> 00:26:03,453
Speaker 4: the Seahawks. Every year a pope is elected, the Seahawks

577
00:26:03,533 --> 00:26:05,973
Speaker 4: make the Super Bowl. In two thousand and five, Pope

578
00:26:06,053 --> 00:26:08,813
Speaker 4: was elected, Seattle won thirteen games and played the Steelers

579
00:26:09,053 --> 00:26:10,013
Speaker 4: in the in the super Bowl.

580
00:26:10,053 --> 00:26:12,333
Speaker 2: Well, there were popes before two thousand and five, you

581
00:26:12,493 --> 00:26:12,733
Speaker 2: know that.

582
00:26:12,933 --> 00:26:15,733
Speaker 4: Right, yes, But the last three popes to be elected

583
00:26:16,133 --> 00:26:17,613
Speaker 4: the Seahawks have been in the Super Bowl. When they

584
00:26:17,653 --> 00:26:21,173
Speaker 4: do two thousand or twenty thirteen, Seattle beats Denver after

585
00:26:21,213 --> 00:26:24,372
Speaker 4: winning thirteen games, and Pope Francis is elected, and then

586
00:26:24,453 --> 00:26:25,933
Speaker 4: now twenty twenty five Pope Leo.

587
00:26:26,133 --> 00:26:27,973
Speaker 2: So that's it. I mean, it's not the last three.

588
00:26:29,013 --> 00:26:30,093
Speaker 2: It's the last two.

589
00:26:30,653 --> 00:26:33,613
Speaker 4: Two thousand and five, twenty thirteen, and twenty twenty five.

590
00:26:34,053 --> 00:26:35,533
Speaker 2: Three times who Super Bowl?

591
00:26:35,613 --> 00:26:37,853
Speaker 4: Yet this could be the third time?

592
00:26:38,373 --> 00:26:38,933
Speaker 2: Oh this year.

593
00:26:39,053 --> 00:26:41,373
Speaker 1: Okay, So there's a difference between though, and it's not

594
00:26:41,573 --> 00:26:43,933
Speaker 1: the third could be the third.

595
00:26:43,813 --> 00:26:46,013
Speaker 4: Could be the third this year. But Seattle did win

596
00:26:46,053 --> 00:26:47,613
Speaker 4: thirteen games already this year.

597
00:26:48,573 --> 00:26:49,853
Speaker 1: Do you think I was the Super Bowl that I'm

598
00:26:49,853 --> 00:26:56,933
Speaker 1: going to say that's a genuine Pope connection. But I yeah,

599
00:26:56,973 --> 00:26:59,533
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're going to I'm very surprised

600
00:26:59,573 --> 00:27:02,613
Speaker 1: by that number of how good their odds are.

601
00:27:02,693 --> 00:27:04,853
Speaker 2: Do you think they are even the best team in

602
00:27:04,933 --> 00:27:08,333
Speaker 2: the playoffs? I do not. I won't spoil my picks,

603
00:27:08,413 --> 00:27:10,333
Speaker 2: but I will tell you I am fading the Pope.

604
00:27:10,453 --> 00:27:13,373
Speaker 2: If the Pope has a Seattle as a super Bowl,

605
00:27:13,973 --> 00:27:16,053
Speaker 2: I'm out on the Pope. He get out of here.

606
00:27:16,293 --> 00:27:19,213
Speaker 2: He's done no ball. Leader does not no ball, though

607
00:27:19,293 --> 00:27:22,293
Speaker 2: he can go lead paper somewhere in the Vatican. Done

608
00:27:22,413 --> 00:27:22,773
Speaker 2: no ball.

609
00:27:23,773 --> 00:27:28,653
Speaker 1: It also, don't you think the whole pope, like the

610
00:27:28,693 --> 00:27:32,052
Speaker 1: whole way we picked popes is amazing? First of all,

611
00:27:32,093 --> 00:27:34,173
Speaker 1: I love that movie what was it called Where They

612
00:27:34,253 --> 00:27:36,373
Speaker 1: Had Play? That was a good movie. That was a

613
00:27:36,613 --> 00:27:38,693
Speaker 1: great movie. Did you see that movie?

614
00:27:38,773 --> 00:27:41,933
Speaker 2: Billy H No? I didn't you should.

615
00:27:42,093 --> 00:27:44,532
Speaker 1: If you told me there's gonna be a movie about

616
00:27:44,613 --> 00:27:49,453
Speaker 1: people picking popes, I would have thought, Eh, I don't

617
00:27:49,493 --> 00:27:50,173
Speaker 1: know if that's.

618
00:27:50,053 --> 00:27:52,253
Speaker 2: The movie I want to see. But I thought it

619
00:27:52,373 --> 00:27:53,373
Speaker 2: was really well done.

620
00:27:53,693 --> 00:27:57,773
Speaker 1: It had intrigue behind the scenes, Pope conniding.

621
00:27:58,933 --> 00:27:59,493
Speaker 2: I liked it.

622
00:28:00,333 --> 00:28:03,973
Speaker 1: And then it's also highlights though, like everybody just gets

623
00:28:04,013 --> 00:28:04,853
Speaker 1: in a room and.

624
00:28:04,973 --> 00:28:06,453
Speaker 2: You don't know who's gonna come out.

625
00:28:06,813 --> 00:28:09,773
Speaker 1: And I feel like the America embraced the trying to

626
00:28:09,853 --> 00:28:12,613
Speaker 1: figure out who the pope would be more this time

627
00:28:12,733 --> 00:28:14,773
Speaker 1: than they've ever done before, and we got rewarded with

628
00:28:14,853 --> 00:28:15,773
Speaker 1: an American Pope.

629
00:28:16,733 --> 00:28:19,253
Speaker 5: It's just a reality show, that's all it is. Since

630
00:28:19,293 --> 00:28:21,733
Speaker 5: Survivor Big Broad. You don't know any of the candidates.

631
00:28:21,973 --> 00:28:25,893
Speaker 5: Just someone emerges, Let's be honest. Unless you're really Catholic

632
00:28:25,933 --> 00:28:27,973
Speaker 5: and into it, I don't whoever elect whoever.

633
00:28:28,293 --> 00:28:28,733
Speaker 1: I'm with you.

634
00:28:28,853 --> 00:28:31,573
Speaker 3: I'm watching it for the backstabbing and the drama. Put

635
00:28:31,653 --> 00:28:34,453
Speaker 3: this thing on TV on Wednesday nights at nine o'clock live.

636
00:28:34,773 --> 00:28:36,693
Speaker 3: Maybe vote went out every week and it'll fit right

637
00:28:36,733 --> 00:28:38,413
Speaker 3: in our TV lineup that we love right now.

638
00:28:38,893 --> 00:28:41,893
Speaker 2: But who's got more pope connection?

639
00:28:42,813 --> 00:28:45,693
Speaker 1: Is it the Seahawks with the stat Or he's a

640
00:28:45,773 --> 00:28:50,573
Speaker 1: Bears fan, right, Billy Kurball, he's a Bears fan.

641
00:28:50,773 --> 00:28:51,893
Speaker 2: He likes the Bears.

642
00:28:51,973 --> 00:28:55,013
Speaker 1: I mean, we've never had a pope be this bear

643
00:28:55,213 --> 00:28:59,013
Speaker 1: tastic so I mean that maybe that's who wins.

644
00:28:59,293 --> 00:29:01,813
Speaker 4: Yeah, didn't we talk about if God was helping Kickers

645
00:29:01,973 --> 00:29:05,013
Speaker 4: make kicks the other night? You know, is God a

646
00:29:05,093 --> 00:29:05,933
Speaker 4: Bears fan this year?

647
00:29:06,253 --> 00:29:06,613
Speaker 2: The Pope?

648
00:29:07,413 --> 00:29:09,773
Speaker 1: Maybe God's always been a Bears fan. He just he

649
00:29:09,933 --> 00:29:15,013
Speaker 1: just was asleep when we had Jacob he was you know,

650
00:29:15,213 --> 00:29:18,293
Speaker 1: God wasn't paying total attention, by the way, about giving

651
00:29:18,333 --> 00:29:21,373
Speaker 1: a sofice battle. So I think that's we were talking

652
00:29:21,413 --> 00:29:24,453
Speaker 1: about Kickers. How did you think, uh, Loop de lou

653
00:29:24,653 --> 00:29:27,853
Speaker 1: hand handled the post game? He did a postgame press

654
00:29:27,973 --> 00:29:32,373
Speaker 1: conference and he uh, he like took responsibility.

655
00:29:32,373 --> 00:29:34,973
Speaker 2: I thought he actually handled it really well. I agree.

656
00:29:35,053 --> 00:29:37,293
Speaker 3: And just as I'm selling stock in the Pope right now,

657
00:29:37,413 --> 00:29:40,653
Speaker 3: I'm buying stocking Loop D Loop. That'll be the worst

658
00:29:40,693 --> 00:29:43,693
Speaker 3: moment of his career by far. He's a rock bomb

659
00:29:43,813 --> 00:29:46,093
Speaker 3: right now, straight up from here, straight up.

660
00:29:46,413 --> 00:29:48,493
Speaker 2: Think so they're going to keep him, right you don't

661
00:29:48,493 --> 00:29:52,613
Speaker 2: think he had an incredible season, He really did, so yeah,

662
00:29:52,733 --> 00:29:53,453
Speaker 2: definitely keep him.

663
00:29:53,693 --> 00:29:57,493
Speaker 3: I'll even say he won't match Justin Tucker, but it'll

664
00:29:57,573 --> 00:29:59,253
Speaker 3: be like Tucker never even left.

665
00:29:59,453 --> 00:30:01,893
Speaker 2: They'll just have an automatic three there on the roster

666
00:30:02,013 --> 00:30:02,853
Speaker 2: for the next decade.

667
00:30:03,333 --> 00:30:06,933
Speaker 1: It's interesting I did like the video of of Hardball

668
00:30:07,053 --> 00:30:10,853
Speaker 1: walking out with him. He had his he had his

669
00:30:11,133 --> 00:30:13,573
Speaker 1: arm around his waist. It was like an awkward middle

670
00:30:13,613 --> 00:30:16,493
Speaker 1: school dance. But he was trying to be comforting.

671
00:30:18,533 --> 00:30:18,693
Speaker 2: You know.

672
00:30:18,973 --> 00:30:22,853
Speaker 1: I mentioned I feel bad for kickers, so I'm glad

673
00:30:22,893 --> 00:30:25,453
Speaker 1: to see Loop dlu though. He stood up, he did

674
00:30:25,533 --> 00:30:27,533
Speaker 1: his thing, and now I'm gonna be pulling for him.

675
00:30:27,693 --> 00:30:31,253
Speaker 1: You know, he I it's gonna be tough because like

676
00:30:31,373 --> 00:30:34,813
Speaker 1: next year, the pressure on any game winning kicking. Chances

677
00:30:34,893 --> 00:30:36,973
Speaker 1: are he'll have one at some point during the season

678
00:30:37,413 --> 00:30:38,933
Speaker 1: that there it will be pretty amense.

679
00:30:39,053 --> 00:30:42,213
Speaker 3: So you think, oh, it'll be automatic, though he'll he'll

680
00:30:42,253 --> 00:30:45,013
Speaker 3: be feeling the last Sunday for several years, but but

681
00:30:45,133 --> 00:30:48,173
Speaker 3: he'll be automatic. I also Lamar, I don't know if

682
00:30:48,213 --> 00:30:50,373
Speaker 3: you saw the clips in Mars reaction, he starts walking

683
00:30:50,493 --> 00:30:52,453
Speaker 3: like they're going to the playoffs and Lamar, I mean

684
00:30:52,493 --> 00:30:55,133
Speaker 3: you see the second he realizes, but he was, but

685
00:30:55,253 --> 00:30:56,813
Speaker 3: he was. The point bringing that up is he was

686
00:30:56,933 --> 00:30:59,893
Speaker 3: very gracious, went straight to the to the Steelers, and

687
00:30:59,973 --> 00:31:01,093
Speaker 3: even Lamar put.

688
00:31:00,933 --> 00:31:03,173
Speaker 2: On a professional kind of Hardball with everybody around him

689
00:31:03,173 --> 00:31:05,293
Speaker 2: in that scene because you know he has something nice

690
00:31:05,333 --> 00:31:07,693
Speaker 2: to Loop dlue. I don't know anything specific to.

691
00:31:07,733 --> 00:31:10,493
Speaker 3: Loopti loop, but Lamar also had it very well because

692
00:31:10,493 --> 00:31:12,533
Speaker 3: you know that just absolutely gutted.

693
00:31:12,293 --> 00:31:14,053
Speaker 2: Him and everyone on that roster, and they had a

694
00:31:14,493 --> 00:31:16,453
Speaker 2: camera on him, and he haled as well as you

695
00:31:16,493 --> 00:31:19,973
Speaker 2: could too. Yeah, well, feel bad for him. What's next, Billy?

696
00:31:20,133 --> 00:31:22,373
Speaker 4: The Carolina Panthers won a division title for the first

697
00:31:22,453 --> 00:31:25,013
Speaker 4: time since twenty fifteen, but they are the fifth team

698
00:31:25,133 --> 00:31:27,653
Speaker 4: ever to make the playoffs with a losing record. They

699
00:31:27,693 --> 00:31:29,693
Speaker 4: are eight to nine. They're the first team to do

700
00:31:29,773 --> 00:31:31,973
Speaker 4: it since the twenty twenty two Tampa Bay Buccaneers With

701
00:31:32,173 --> 00:31:34,173
Speaker 4: Tom Brady. I want to ask you, guys, do you

702
00:31:34,213 --> 00:31:37,333
Speaker 4: think we should change that division winners get home field advantage?

703
00:31:40,973 --> 00:31:42,133
Speaker 2: Yes? I do.

704
00:31:43,573 --> 00:31:46,173
Speaker 1: I think aren't those eight to nine teams though, like

705
00:31:46,253 --> 00:31:48,533
Speaker 1: they're like three to one? There's something in the first round.

706
00:31:48,573 --> 00:31:52,453
Speaker 1: I think I think the eight nine teams have won. Yes,

707
00:31:53,373 --> 00:31:55,933
Speaker 1: I will take the controversial viewpoint. I don't know why

708
00:31:56,013 --> 00:31:59,933
Speaker 1: we have division winners in at all, Like why not

709
00:32:00,093 --> 00:32:01,413
Speaker 1: just take the seven best teams?

710
00:32:01,453 --> 00:32:01,933
Speaker 2: I don't really.

711
00:32:02,213 --> 00:32:05,453
Speaker 1: I mean, in college football, there's an argument about using

712
00:32:05,533 --> 00:32:09,253
Speaker 1: divisions because it's because maybe there might be differences in

713
00:32:09,413 --> 00:32:11,373
Speaker 1: resources or whatever.

714
00:32:11,493 --> 00:32:14,533
Speaker 2: But in football, it's a salary cap. Everybody's the same.

715
00:32:15,413 --> 00:32:17,533
Speaker 1: I kind of think the way the NBA does it

716
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:21,173
Speaker 1: is the way to do it, like divide it into two.

717
00:32:22,213 --> 00:32:25,573
Speaker 1: You play every team in that one. Maybe you play

718
00:32:25,653 --> 00:32:28,093
Speaker 1: them twice, maybe play them once. I mean, you can

719
00:32:28,213 --> 00:32:31,253
Speaker 1: decide when you do the schedule thing or whatever. But

720
00:32:31,453 --> 00:32:34,253
Speaker 1: then you can have a division winner. But it's kind

721
00:32:34,293 --> 00:32:36,173
Speaker 1: of meaningless, Like that's how it is in the NBA.

722
00:32:36,653 --> 00:32:39,493
Speaker 1: Whoever wins the nobody even knows who wins the divisions.

723
00:32:39,773 --> 00:32:41,733
Speaker 1: You just take the best teams in there in the playoffs.

724
00:32:41,773 --> 00:32:44,773
Speaker 1: That's what I would do, at least. What about you, Oh,

725
00:32:44,813 --> 00:32:46,533
Speaker 1: as a fan of team, it's not very good. My

726
00:32:46,613 --> 00:32:48,573
Speaker 1: only hope is when our team wins the division. I

727
00:32:48,613 --> 00:32:51,133
Speaker 1: guess we had a good run a few years ago.

728
00:32:52,173 --> 00:32:56,453
Speaker 1: You're maybe even Billy's division. It's just getting those teams in,

729
00:32:57,213 --> 00:32:59,853
Speaker 1: rewarding them for winning their division. I know the divisions,

730
00:33:00,053 --> 00:33:02,293
Speaker 1: there's a big, big gap and how good they are

731
00:33:02,413 --> 00:33:04,253
Speaker 1: right now. We got some really bad ones and some

732
00:33:04,333 --> 00:33:06,573
Speaker 1: really good wins, as this playoff bracket shows, where you

733
00:33:06,613 --> 00:33:06,853
Speaker 1: got the.

734
00:33:06,893 --> 00:33:09,053
Speaker 3: Rams and forty nine ers barely getting in his wild

735
00:33:09,093 --> 00:33:10,653
Speaker 3: cards or sixties as wild cards.

736
00:33:11,093 --> 00:33:12,973
Speaker 2: So even though it's a little Waukye this year, I

737
00:33:13,013 --> 00:33:15,293
Speaker 2: think overall it's good to reward the champion with a

738
00:33:15,333 --> 00:33:19,493
Speaker 2: home field advantage. Yeah, I'm definitely against the home field advantage.

739
00:33:19,533 --> 00:33:22,813
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you pair them up and then

740
00:33:22,853 --> 00:33:25,173
Speaker 1: you say, well, look, if you don't, I think the

741
00:33:25,293 --> 00:33:27,973
Speaker 1: five seed probably this Panthers game should be in l

742
00:33:28,093 --> 00:33:30,333
Speaker 1: Like that's the way. I kind of feel like I'm

743
00:33:30,373 --> 00:33:32,333
Speaker 1: final with the Panthers getting in that four seed, but

744
00:33:32,413 --> 00:33:35,373
Speaker 1: I think the home field should be decided or you

745
00:33:35,533 --> 00:33:37,653
Speaker 1: just get the teams in. I don't want to say

746
00:33:37,693 --> 00:33:40,173
Speaker 1: you see them like in college sports, but you get

747
00:33:40,253 --> 00:33:41,853
Speaker 1: them in and then you just do the record.

748
00:33:43,373 --> 00:33:46,333
Speaker 2: But I don't think it's gonna change. And that's the way.

749
00:33:46,653 --> 00:33:49,413
Speaker 1: You know, for whatever reason, they care about these division games,

750
00:33:49,453 --> 00:33:50,213
Speaker 1: and that's what it'll be.

751
00:34:03,893 --> 00:34:05,973
Speaker 4: Let's take a look at these stat leaders after the

752
00:34:06,133 --> 00:34:07,333
Speaker 4: regular season is now over.

753
00:34:07,613 --> 00:34:09,973
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's let's do that. Let's do that together.

754
00:34:10,853 --> 00:34:14,773
Speaker 4: The passing title went to Matthew Stafford, who had four thousand,

755
00:34:14,812 --> 00:34:17,093
Speaker 4: seven hundred and seven yards and is the favorite for

756
00:34:17,133 --> 00:34:20,252
Speaker 4: the MVP. The rushing title went to James Cook, who

757
00:34:20,292 --> 00:34:21,533
Speaker 4: had one thousand, six hundred.

758
00:34:22,372 --> 00:34:28,292
Speaker 1: Who would you vote for for MVP Rue, I'm giving

759
00:34:28,332 --> 00:34:33,332
Speaker 1: it to me. I'm giving it to Stafford because of that,

760
00:34:33,533 --> 00:34:37,133
Speaker 1: because he won the passing title of both teams were

761
00:34:37,172 --> 00:34:40,333
Speaker 1: similarly good, even though the Patriots had any better record

762
00:34:40,372 --> 00:34:42,212
Speaker 1: and an easier schedule. Who would you give it to

763
00:34:42,332 --> 00:34:46,292
Speaker 1: Billy Stafford? Okay, so Stafford wins, all right, what's the

764
00:34:46,372 --> 00:34:47,013
Speaker 1: next I was?

765
00:34:47,212 --> 00:34:49,013
Speaker 3: I was Stafford all year. If he had won his

766
00:34:49,133 --> 00:34:50,852
Speaker 3: division and they were the one seed, I'd give it

767
00:34:50,893 --> 00:34:51,172
Speaker 3: to him.

768
00:34:52,413 --> 00:34:55,252
Speaker 4: Some of the other leaders was James Cook at over

769
00:34:55,453 --> 00:34:58,093
Speaker 4: over sixteen hundred yards for the rushing title, Jackson Smith

770
00:34:58,133 --> 00:34:59,332
Speaker 4: and Jig rushing title.

771
00:34:59,372 --> 00:35:00,053
Speaker 2: I didn't realize that.

772
00:35:00,133 --> 00:35:03,853
Speaker 4: Okay, go ahead, Jackson Smith, Jigbudd didn't get to two thousand,

773
00:35:03,933 --> 00:35:06,412
Speaker 4: but had one thousand, seven hundred and ninety three to

774
00:35:06,533 --> 00:35:10,933
Speaker 4: lead all receivers this year. And finally, in kick return yards,

775
00:35:11,133 --> 00:35:14,492
Speaker 4: Ray Davis had the highest average, over thirty point four

776
00:35:14,613 --> 00:35:15,732
Speaker 4: yards every return.

777
00:35:17,172 --> 00:35:17,852
Speaker 2: Ah, you did that.

778
00:35:18,453 --> 00:35:21,732
Speaker 1: Just throw a Kentucky stat in there, right. I'm surprised

779
00:35:21,732 --> 00:35:23,893
Speaker 1: about James Cook. If you had asked me to guess,

780
00:35:23,973 --> 00:35:26,372
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I would have guessed James Cook because

781
00:35:26,372 --> 00:35:29,493
Speaker 1: everybody always says, well, Josh Allen has no help.

782
00:35:30,053 --> 00:35:32,892
Speaker 2: Clearly he does. He's got the number one rusher in

783
00:35:32,973 --> 00:35:35,372
Speaker 2: the NFL. Cook surprised me too.

784
00:35:35,613 --> 00:35:37,692
Speaker 3: There's been some good year, maybe just being healthy this

785
00:35:37,772 --> 00:35:39,893
Speaker 3: year gave a little bit about some guys miss few games.

786
00:35:39,933 --> 00:35:42,692
Speaker 3: But yeah, that one of all you listen surprised me

787
00:35:42,772 --> 00:35:45,652
Speaker 3: on our boy Ray Davis, most of that. I don't

788
00:35:45,692 --> 00:35:47,172
Speaker 3: have the numbers in front of me. I feel like

789
00:35:47,252 --> 00:35:49,453
Speaker 3: the back end of the year either they went to

790
00:35:49,573 --> 00:35:51,972
Speaker 3: him more. He was just about won a game if

791
00:35:52,013 --> 00:35:53,372
Speaker 3: he wouldn't take to the house. He was getting a

792
00:35:53,413 --> 00:35:54,693
Speaker 3: good run to set him up for a score.

793
00:35:55,013 --> 00:35:55,613
Speaker 2: So we'll learned.

794
00:35:55,652 --> 00:35:56,973
Speaker 3: And it felt like that started when we were in

795
00:35:57,013 --> 00:35:58,613
Speaker 3: Buffalo because he had a big return in that one

796
00:35:58,933 --> 00:35:59,573
Speaker 3: while we were there.

797
00:35:59,933 --> 00:36:03,252
Speaker 1: Yeah, he killed it. Yeah man, I mean no one

798
00:36:03,332 --> 00:36:06,493
Speaker 1: ever talks about James Cook. I mean literally the story

799
00:36:06,772 --> 00:36:09,652
Speaker 1: is Josh Allen has no help. He's got a number

800
00:36:09,652 --> 00:36:11,053
Speaker 1: one running game in the NFL.

801
00:36:11,252 --> 00:36:12,573
Speaker 2: What do you mean that's no help?

802
00:36:13,212 --> 00:36:16,012
Speaker 1: Those people And of course I'm not naming names because

803
00:36:16,013 --> 00:36:17,493
Speaker 1: I can't think of who said it, but all of

804
00:36:17,573 --> 00:36:19,973
Speaker 1: them should just should shut up.

805
00:36:20,573 --> 00:36:22,093
Speaker 2: I would have lost a lot of money on that.

806
00:36:22,212 --> 00:36:25,012
Speaker 3: I would have gone Henry or Jonathan Taylor and bet

807
00:36:25,093 --> 00:36:27,612
Speaker 3: the house against the field with those two.

808
00:36:27,573 --> 00:36:29,812
Speaker 4: Eight Henry by twenty six yards, And.

809
00:36:30,692 --> 00:36:32,412
Speaker 1: Okay, see, I would have thought, by the way, I

810
00:36:32,533 --> 00:36:35,053
Speaker 1: just got a news alert. So I have it programmed

811
00:36:35,053 --> 00:36:38,013
Speaker 1: where the only news alerts I'm supposed to get are

812
00:36:38,252 --> 00:36:42,252
Speaker 1: high priority national news or international or national news. So

813
00:36:42,413 --> 00:36:45,133
Speaker 1: the goal is only to get an occasional news alert,

814
00:36:45,172 --> 00:36:47,172
Speaker 1: so that if I see a news alert pop up,

815
00:36:47,973 --> 00:36:51,932
Speaker 1: I know this is something that needs my time. Can

816
00:36:52,013 --> 00:36:55,493
Speaker 1: I just tell you what just popped up? Kidman and

817
00:36:55,613 --> 00:37:00,772
Speaker 1: Keith Urban finalized their divorce. Why would they think that's

818
00:37:00,852 --> 00:37:02,133
Speaker 1: high priority.

819
00:37:04,172 --> 00:37:04,613
Speaker 2: Priority?

820
00:37:04,732 --> 00:37:12,493
Speaker 6: If you're novill, if you're like children, that is not

821
00:37:12,973 --> 00:37:16,972
Speaker 6: high priority. If that's high priority, you just beginning.

822
00:37:16,613 --> 00:37:19,212
Speaker 3: It alerts every second for every piece of news all

823
00:37:19,292 --> 00:37:21,173
Speaker 3: day long. That should not even be top hundred.

824
00:37:22,493 --> 00:37:24,692
Speaker 2: Did the leak? Did joke in the leak? Is a question?

825
00:37:25,732 --> 00:37:27,652
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, so that's all I need to know.

826
00:37:28,172 --> 00:37:30,292
Speaker 1: First, I didn't need to know that, But now that

827
00:37:30,372 --> 00:37:32,892
Speaker 1: I know it that, if there's nothing, there's not one

828
00:37:32,933 --> 00:37:35,533
Speaker 1: other piece of information from that that I care about.

829
00:37:37,692 --> 00:37:41,252
Speaker 2: Nicole Kidman, did you see the show where she's like

830
00:37:42,573 --> 00:37:43,852
Speaker 2: I've seen two shows.

831
00:37:43,573 --> 00:37:46,212
Speaker 1: With her recently, she's like a guru in one of them,

832
00:37:46,812 --> 00:37:49,412
Speaker 1: like a life coach, and they take them all to

833
00:37:49,573 --> 00:37:51,973
Speaker 1: the this wellness retreat.

834
00:37:52,252 --> 00:37:54,053
Speaker 2: Have you seen that? Yeah? I'm trying to think of

835
00:37:54,093 --> 00:37:55,133
Speaker 2: the name of it, but I watched it.

836
00:37:55,453 --> 00:37:59,172
Speaker 1: It's called like I don't know something. I only got

837
00:37:59,212 --> 00:38:01,772
Speaker 1: a couple episodes in that. And then there's one where

838
00:38:02,093 --> 00:38:08,332
Speaker 1: she like goes it's with borat Uh. It's on Apple TV,

839
00:38:09,252 --> 00:38:12,493
Speaker 1: and it's like she once had an affair with a

840
00:38:12,613 --> 00:38:16,692
Speaker 1: younger guy and God and like then the dad.

841
00:38:16,692 --> 00:38:18,812
Speaker 2: Thinks that he killed her, Like did you ever see

842
00:38:18,893 --> 00:38:21,372
Speaker 2: that one? I knew there was something with like a

843
00:38:21,533 --> 00:38:23,453
Speaker 2: young affair kind of thing. I didn't know Boor was

844
00:38:23,493 --> 00:38:26,212
Speaker 2: in it. I feel like she and what's the other

845
00:38:26,292 --> 00:38:31,452
Speaker 2: woman that I think are the same person, Julianne Moore?

846
00:38:31,893 --> 00:38:35,372
Speaker 3: Is that a person a little strawberry blonde, reddish hair

847
00:38:35,453 --> 00:38:39,493
Speaker 3: is that's Are they the same person? They're not?

848
00:38:40,292 --> 00:38:42,732
Speaker 2: I would guess similar in age they do.

849
00:38:43,493 --> 00:38:46,293
Speaker 1: And Moore had a show right where she was married

850
00:38:46,332 --> 00:38:49,973
Speaker 1: to Kevin Bacon and then a girl moved in to

851
00:38:50,093 --> 00:38:55,252
Speaker 1: be like her protege, and then her sister, which was

852
00:38:55,292 --> 00:38:57,613
Speaker 1: the girl from White Lotus, came in to save her.

853
00:38:58,852 --> 00:39:00,332
Speaker 2: I don't think I caught that one. I was still

854
00:39:00,372 --> 00:39:01,053
Speaker 2: probably caught up.

855
00:39:00,973 --> 00:39:03,972
Speaker 1: In all these shows. I've seen every one of those shows.

856
00:39:04,013 --> 00:39:05,412
Speaker 1: I just first of all, I can't remember any of

857
00:39:05,493 --> 00:39:06,652
Speaker 1: the names any of them.

858
00:39:06,772 --> 00:39:11,332
Speaker 2: Sirens. It's called sirens. I don't have you on that one.

859
00:39:11,453 --> 00:39:13,133
Speaker 2: I don't have y'all that you all are helpful to

860
00:39:13,252 --> 00:39:16,292
Speaker 2: my night shows. I liked her more in I guess

00:39:16,413 --> 00:39:20,293

Speaker 3: so highlight your boy, Nicole, if you would like. I've

866
00:39:33,413 --> 00:39:34,933
Speaker 3: seen your entire catalog.

00:39:35,692 --> 00:39:38,652
Speaker 2: I'm sure after hearing that that's okay. She'd love to

868
00:39:38,692 --> 00:39:39,252
Speaker 2: meet up with you.

869
00:39:39,573 --> 00:39:42,812
Speaker 1: Are Julianne, you feel free as well, either one of you.

870
00:39:43,812 --> 00:39:44,972
Speaker 1: I feel like we're all kind.

871
00:39:45,053 --> 00:39:46,573
Speaker 4: What would you talk to them about if you met them?

872
00:39:46,652 --> 00:39:47,732
Speaker 4: You can't talk about their movies?

873
00:39:48,573 --> 00:39:50,372
Speaker 1: First of all, about the movies. Say, I heard you

874
00:39:50,413 --> 00:39:52,413
Speaker 1: guy divorced. I came up on my phone.

875
00:39:55,013 --> 00:39:59,292
Speaker 2: Congrats? Yeah, and what do you think about Tyler Lup?

876
00:39:59,573 --> 00:40:01,412
Speaker 1: Those would be the first two things I would say,

877
00:40:01,852 --> 00:40:04,212
Speaker 1: and then after that we just see how the conversation goes.

878
00:40:04,332 --> 00:40:05,133
Speaker 2: What's next, Billy?

879
00:40:05,332 --> 00:40:07,892
Speaker 4: While we're talking about the Bill's interesting stat the Bills

880
00:40:07,893 --> 00:40:12,212
Speaker 4: have lost eight straight road playoff games since nineteen ninety two,

881
00:40:12,493 --> 00:40:16,093
Speaker 4: and with a playoffs without Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, OJE

882
00:40:16,692 --> 00:40:20,172
Speaker 4: or Joe Burrow. Many people think this is Josh Allen's chance.

883
00:40:22,093 --> 00:40:24,492
Speaker 1: That's an amazing stat. I didn't know that they've lost

884
00:40:24,772 --> 00:40:26,692
Speaker 1: eight straight road playoff games.

885
00:40:27,493 --> 00:40:28,253
Speaker 2: I have no idea.

886
00:40:28,292 --> 00:40:31,133
Speaker 1: What's gonna happen. Well, let's just do you have any

887
00:40:31,172 --> 00:40:33,133
Speaker 1: other news? We could just start with the playoff game.

888
00:40:33,172 --> 00:40:35,933
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, we can really get to it. Yeah, the

889
00:40:36,133 --> 00:40:36,772
Speaker 4: playoff game is.

890
00:40:36,812 --> 00:40:38,892
Speaker 2: That important news. I don't want to skip over your

891
00:40:38,933 --> 00:40:39,572
Speaker 2: important news.

892
00:40:39,772 --> 00:40:41,652
Speaker 4: No, no, it's fine. I was just gonna make fun

893
00:40:41,652 --> 00:40:42,732
Speaker 4: of the Jets for a little bit, but we.

894
00:40:42,732 --> 00:40:44,492
Speaker 2: Can skip that. No, let's go for it. Let's make

895
00:40:44,533 --> 00:40:45,052
Speaker 2: fun of Jets.

896
00:40:45,093 --> 00:40:46,652
Speaker 4: Really Okay, Well, the Jets were the first team in

897
00:40:46,772 --> 00:40:49,732
Speaker 4: NFL history with zero interceptions since nineteen thirty three.

898
00:40:49,772 --> 00:40:50,093
Speaker 1: You know that.

899
00:40:50,292 --> 00:40:52,772
Speaker 4: But they're also the team that's the farthest away from

900
00:40:52,812 --> 00:40:55,252
Speaker 4: the playoffs. They have the longest playoff drought it's been

901
00:40:55,372 --> 00:40:59,212
Speaker 4: fifteen years since the twenty ten AFC Championship game, their

902
00:40:59,292 --> 00:41:00,053
Speaker 4: last playoff game.

903
00:41:01,453 --> 00:41:03,812
Speaker 1: That's an amazing stat, even more so to me than

904
00:41:04,013 --> 00:41:06,933
Speaker 1: first of all, did you see there's been no team

905
00:41:07,332 --> 00:41:11,533
Speaker 1: in college football to not get an interception in a

906
00:41:11,613 --> 00:41:13,973
Speaker 1: season since nineteen seventy.

907
00:41:15,013 --> 00:41:17,613
Speaker 2: And that so I mean, and let's play fewer games.

908
00:41:18,013 --> 00:41:22,772
Speaker 1: That's playing fewer games and since nineteen seventy and it

909
00:41:22,893 --> 00:41:26,293
Speaker 1: was like Navy didn't get an interception in nineteen seventy.

910
00:41:26,413 --> 00:41:30,573
Speaker 1: I mean, that's pretty unbelievably horrific by the Jets.

911
00:41:31,493 --> 00:41:34,053
Speaker 3: And I said this on a past episode, I believe,

912
00:41:34,332 --> 00:41:37,053
Speaker 3: but their playoffs drought is all is also the.

913
00:41:37,133 --> 00:41:41,093
Speaker 2: Longest, not just in football but in any sport. And

914
00:41:41,292 --> 00:41:44,652
Speaker 2: half the teams make the playoffs. In the NFL, you

915
00:41:44,732 --> 00:41:45,652
Speaker 2: just got to win the division.

916
00:41:45,692 --> 00:41:48,053
Speaker 1: What the hell you got or just come.

917
00:41:47,933 --> 00:41:50,452
Speaker 2: In the top seven. I mean, that's that is is.

918
00:41:52,013 --> 00:41:55,933
Speaker 1: Truly, and they're awful, like there's they have no hope

919
00:41:56,212 --> 00:41:58,452
Speaker 1: at all, and they're New.

920
00:41:58,453 --> 00:42:15,053
Speaker 2: York World market. All right, well, let's go.

921
00:42:15,613 --> 00:42:19,172
Speaker 1: Here's what we're gonna do. We're going to pick the

922
00:42:19,212 --> 00:42:22,013
Speaker 1: playoff games. But then we're also while we're doing it,

923
00:42:22,212 --> 00:42:25,492
Speaker 1: going to pick a touchdown for each of them.

924
00:42:25,613 --> 00:42:28,532
Speaker 2: So let's do this. We'll start with the first game.

925
00:42:29,013 --> 00:42:30,852
Speaker 2: I'll just do it in the order I look at

926
00:42:30,852 --> 00:42:31,373
Speaker 2: the screen.

927
00:42:31,573 --> 00:42:34,372
Speaker 1: So, Billy, I'll let you go first, and Drew then

928
00:42:34,493 --> 00:42:36,932
Speaker 1: me on the first game and we'll just rotate through.

929
00:42:37,613 --> 00:42:41,533
Speaker 1: First game is Saturday. We've got the Rams are at

930
00:42:41,613 --> 00:42:46,252
Speaker 1: the Panthers. Let's start with who do you pick to win? Drew,

931
00:42:46,893 --> 00:42:49,172
Speaker 1: any you think the Rams can go on the road

932
00:42:49,212 --> 00:42:49,852
Speaker 1: and get the w.

933
00:42:51,732 --> 00:42:55,932
Speaker 3: FU thought about picking the upset here. It was really

934
00:42:56,013 --> 00:42:57,692
Speaker 3: weighing on me. I wanted to do it, but it's

935
00:42:57,812 --> 00:42:59,733
Speaker 3: just it's too big of a gap between these teams.

936
00:43:00,133 --> 00:43:02,052
Speaker 3: I think the Rams going there and win. I want

937
00:43:02,093 --> 00:43:03,573
Speaker 3: the Panthers magic to continue.

938
00:43:03,613 --> 00:43:05,292
Speaker 2: I want it so bad. But of all the teams,

939
00:43:05,332 --> 00:43:07,973
Speaker 2: for them to draw here, that's the worst. So I

940
00:43:08,053 --> 00:43:12,053
Speaker 2: think the Rams can have done. Yeah, I'm gonna go.

941
00:43:13,453 --> 00:43:15,253
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the Rams. I mean the pants.

942
00:43:15,332 --> 00:43:17,093
Speaker 1: Like I said, the eight to nine teams have won

943
00:43:17,212 --> 00:43:21,532
Speaker 1: three of the four times they've played. But I don't

944
00:43:22,093 --> 00:43:24,013
Speaker 1: think the home field's gonna matter, and I think Matthew

945
00:43:24,053 --> 00:43:27,052
Speaker 1: Stafford will play well. I will say in all six

946
00:43:27,172 --> 00:43:31,732
Speaker 1: of these games, literally all six I do not think

947
00:43:31,812 --> 00:43:36,692
Speaker 1: there could be a surprise winner like I I think

948
00:43:36,772 --> 00:43:40,093
Speaker 1: any of these twelve teams playing could win. As a

949
00:43:40,093 --> 00:43:42,292
Speaker 1: matter of fact, the game with the biggest spread, which

950
00:43:42,332 --> 00:43:46,813
Speaker 1: is Eagles forty nine ers, to me, that makes almost

951
00:43:46,893 --> 00:43:50,093
Speaker 1: no sense. Like I actually think that game is one

952
00:43:50,133 --> 00:43:52,093
Speaker 1: of the closer ones that you could have.

953
00:43:52,292 --> 00:43:55,693
Speaker 2: But I that spreads much lower than this one. Eagles

954
00:43:55,772 --> 00:43:56,412
Speaker 2: forty nine ers.

955
00:43:56,613 --> 00:44:00,052
Speaker 1: Oh it is, so the Rams are the biggest still, Okay,

956
00:44:00,172 --> 00:44:02,292
Speaker 1: I can still see the Panthers winning. Nevertheless, I'm going

957
00:44:02,372 --> 00:44:04,013
Speaker 1: to take the Rams as you do. All right, Billy,

958
00:44:04,093 --> 00:44:05,932
Speaker 1: what is going to be your touchdown pick?

959
00:44:07,372 --> 00:44:10,012
Speaker 4: I'll take the easy one. Pooka Nakua had a great year.

960
00:44:10,252 --> 00:44:11,892
Speaker 4: I'll take him to score a touchdown in this one,

961
00:44:12,172 --> 00:44:15,053
Speaker 4: and hoping Carolina Mike plays before the game starts. I

962
00:44:15,093 --> 00:44:17,012
Speaker 4: think that should be a lock that we can bet onto.

963
00:44:17,133 --> 00:44:19,052
Speaker 1: So you got Pooka nakou all right, Drew, I will

964
00:44:19,093 --> 00:44:21,252
Speaker 1: let you take who would you like to have? This

965
00:44:21,372 --> 00:44:23,372
Speaker 1: is again, you have to score the touchdowns. You can't

966
00:44:23,453 --> 00:44:24,533
Speaker 1: just take the path.

967
00:44:25,212 --> 00:44:29,013
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of targets there for Stafford. He'll hit

968
00:44:29,013 --> 00:44:30,412
Speaker 3: a lot of them, but I'm not I'm not sure

969
00:44:30,493 --> 00:44:32,333
Speaker 3: which one I want to pick, So I'll take Kyen

970
00:44:32,372 --> 00:44:34,772
Speaker 3: Williams to run one in and let you all try

971
00:44:34,812 --> 00:44:37,852
Speaker 3: to figure out what receiver tight end. Stafford's throwing too.

972
00:44:37,973 --> 00:44:39,533
Speaker 3: So Williams gets a touchdown for me.

973
00:44:40,573 --> 00:44:44,332
Speaker 2: So you're gonna take Kyen Williams, all right?

974
00:44:46,732 --> 00:44:49,572
Speaker 1: So you know, you guys are both taking people from

975
00:44:49,772 --> 00:44:53,573
Speaker 1: the the Rams, so I feel like I need to

976
00:44:53,613 --> 00:44:56,133
Speaker 1: take someone from the Panthers.

977
00:44:59,453 --> 00:45:01,732
Speaker 2: I don't know who's the how many Panthers do you?

978
00:45:01,852 --> 00:45:02,092
Speaker 5: Rico?

979
00:45:02,973 --> 00:45:05,532
Speaker 2: It's pretty much Rico or mcmillaner, you're.

980
00:45:05,732 --> 00:45:08,813
Speaker 4: The rookie receiver has been great this year, all right.

981
00:45:08,852 --> 00:45:14,093
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take I'll take Rico down ll He only

982
00:45:14,133 --> 00:45:16,732
Speaker 1: has six touchdowns though on the year, but I'm still

983
00:45:16,812 --> 00:45:20,373
Speaker 1: gonna I'm still gonna go with him. I'll give me Rico.

984
00:45:21,013 --> 00:45:25,013
Speaker 1: And so you've got Kyron and I've got Rico. All right,

985
00:45:25,093 --> 00:45:27,613
Speaker 1: let's go to the game that night, Bears Packers. I

986
00:45:27,692 --> 00:45:32,053
Speaker 1: am officially not only nervous, I'm pessimistic. I think just

987
00:45:32,093 --> 00:45:34,852
Speaker 1: because it's Green Bay and it's the Bears and we

988
00:45:34,933 --> 00:45:37,093
Speaker 1: haven't played well last two weeks. I'm wearing the hat

989
00:45:37,252 --> 00:45:40,413
Speaker 1: trying to talk myself into it. Who you got this weekend.

990
00:45:42,372 --> 00:45:45,573
Speaker 2: I will let you have the pessimism. I love your Bears.

991
00:45:46,053 --> 00:45:49,133
Speaker 3: This is the moment where everything flips. It's been all

992
00:45:49,292 --> 00:45:52,893
Speaker 3: Packers for decades. This starts the beginning of the Bears

993
00:45:52,973 --> 00:45:56,533
Speaker 3: owning that series. This is the beginning of killing William

994
00:45:56,613 --> 00:45:58,692
Speaker 3: Stuff and Jordan Love and a locker for the rest

995
00:45:58,692 --> 00:45:59,253
Speaker 3: of his career.

996
00:45:59,613 --> 00:46:01,732
Speaker 2: Your Bears will get it done, man. I know as

997
00:46:01,812 --> 00:46:04,252
Speaker 2: a fan you have that built in pessimism. If it

998
00:46:04,332 --> 00:46:06,452
Speaker 2: were my team, I'd be nervous and thinking negave too.

999
00:46:06,973 --> 00:46:09,533
Speaker 2: I'm neutral. I think your Bears get the job done.

1000
00:46:10,893 --> 00:46:15,412
Speaker 1: Well, I hope, so I'm very nervous about it, but

1001
00:46:15,573 --> 00:46:20,053
Speaker 1: I will take it. I'm gonna pick. I'm gonna pick

1002
00:46:20,093 --> 00:46:24,093
Speaker 1: the Bears, but it's more out of hope than belief.

1003
00:46:25,772 --> 00:46:28,172
Speaker 1: But I think it'll be a great game. I would

1004
00:46:28,212 --> 00:46:32,053
Speaker 1: love to be there. Unfortunately, because if it was Sunday,

1005
00:46:32,093 --> 00:46:33,892
Speaker 1: I was gonna try to go, especially if it was

1006
00:46:33,973 --> 00:46:39,772
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon or Sunday night. But because it is is Saturday,

1007
00:46:39,893 --> 00:46:42,332
Speaker 1: I do not think I can go. So I'm gonna

1008
00:46:42,372 --> 00:46:43,973
Speaker 1: but I'm still gonna take them. Now, you get to

1009
00:46:44,013 --> 00:46:46,053
Speaker 1: pick the first one on the on the touchdown.

1010
00:46:46,093 --> 00:46:48,172
Speaker 3: Who you got I'm gonna go a little bit of

1011
00:46:48,212 --> 00:46:50,613
Speaker 3: a longer shot here. I'll let y'all have these running backs.

1012
00:46:51,172 --> 00:46:53,172
Speaker 3: Jenkinson Swift had been great this year for making a

1013
00:46:53,172 --> 00:46:53,612
Speaker 3: little money.

1014
00:46:53,812 --> 00:46:55,533
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go to your tight end and go with

1015
00:46:55,613 --> 00:46:58,412
Speaker 2: Colston Lovelin getting a big catch late. We've said some

1016
00:46:58,613 --> 00:47:01,652
Speaker 2: huge catches this season. So I'll go with a little

1017
00:47:01,652 --> 00:47:03,492
Speaker 2: bit of a longer shot here at our second pick

1018
00:47:03,533 --> 00:47:04,133
Speaker 2: and go tight end.

1019
00:47:05,212 --> 00:47:07,292
Speaker 1: All right, Well, then I'm gonna take DeAndre Swift if

1020
00:47:07,332 --> 00:47:09,172
Speaker 1: you're gonna give me, if you get to give it

1021
00:47:09,252 --> 00:47:11,013
Speaker 1: to me, And I actually think Billy's gonna end up

1022
00:47:11,013 --> 00:47:12,212
Speaker 1: getting a pretty good one here too.

1023
00:47:12,252 --> 00:47:14,412
Speaker 4: Who you got, Yeah, I'm gonna get even weirder. I'll

1024
00:47:14,453 --> 00:47:17,093
Speaker 4: go Kyle Imanung Guy the other Bears running back to

1025
00:47:17,133 --> 00:47:17,893
Speaker 4: give me a touchdown.

1026
00:47:18,252 --> 00:47:23,932
Speaker 2: We're all picking bears. Nobody's picking Jacobs. He's a he's

1027
00:47:23,973 --> 00:47:26,453
Speaker 2: an automatic touchdown too. I don't want to.

1028
00:47:26,493 --> 00:47:30,533
Speaker 1: I lovely no one picking Jacobs. All right, Well, you

1029
00:47:30,613 --> 00:47:33,172
Speaker 1: may regret that pick, Billy, or if Kyle fun Guy

1030
00:47:33,413 --> 00:47:36,692
Speaker 1: makes it, you will be uh, you'll be pretty happy,

1031
00:47:36,732 --> 00:47:39,012
Speaker 1: all right, So let's go the next day. You got

1032
00:47:39,093 --> 00:47:43,973
Speaker 1: the Bills, uh and the Jaguars. Any result in this

1033
00:47:44,133 --> 00:47:48,372
Speaker 1: game would not surprise me. I mean, either of these

1034
00:47:48,453 --> 00:47:52,493
Speaker 1: teams could blow the other team out and I wouldn't

1035
00:47:52,493 --> 00:47:53,013
Speaker 1: be shocked.

1036
00:47:53,332 --> 00:47:56,692
Speaker 2: I really would. Two touchdowns either way would not surprise me.

1037
00:47:58,133 --> 00:48:02,013
Speaker 1: Jaguars are better, but the Bills have gosh out and

1038
00:48:02,212 --> 00:48:05,452
Speaker 1: so because of that, I don't know what to do, Drew,

1039
00:48:05,533 --> 00:48:05,692
Speaker 1: do you?

1040
00:48:07,772 --> 00:48:11,893
Speaker 3: I'm leaning one way, But before we each pick Josh Allen,

1041
00:48:12,133 --> 00:48:12,932
Speaker 3: look at your path.

1042
00:48:13,133 --> 00:48:16,412
Speaker 2: You've had ridiculous paths for so many years. Look in

1043
00:48:16,493 --> 00:48:16,892
Speaker 2: front of you.

1044
00:48:17,053 --> 00:48:19,332
Speaker 3: Sure, Jags, Lawrence, They've had a good year, But this

1045
00:48:19,453 --> 00:48:22,292
Speaker 3: is in Mahomes and Lamar Jackson and what you've had

1046
00:48:22,332 --> 00:48:24,412
Speaker 3: in front of you in the past. It's set up.

1047
00:48:24,453 --> 00:48:26,692
Speaker 3: I know you're on the road, but if he can't

1048
00:48:26,772 --> 00:48:29,133
Speaker 3: do it now, as good as he is, he's just

1049
00:48:29,332 --> 00:48:30,093
Speaker 3: not gonna get over that.

1050
00:48:30,172 --> 00:48:32,492
Speaker 2: Home may just not do it right. I'm gonna take

1051
00:48:32,533 --> 00:48:35,332
Speaker 2: the Bills. I'm gonna pick Josh Allen as my touchdown.

1052
00:48:36,533 --> 00:48:39,772
Speaker 1: I feel like in big games, when they get close

1053
00:48:39,772 --> 00:48:42,013
Speaker 1: to the end zone, he only trusts himself.

1054
00:48:42,652 --> 00:48:46,092
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna take Josh Allen and that's my pick. Billy,

1055
00:48:46,172 --> 00:48:46,692
Speaker 2: who do you have?

1056
00:48:47,772 --> 00:48:51,812
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go Jags receiver Parker Washington. Think he's been

1057
00:48:51,852 --> 00:48:52,892
Speaker 4: great second half of the year.

1058
00:48:54,013 --> 00:48:59,452
Speaker 2: Parker Washington. Parker Washington is your pick.

1059
00:48:59,573 --> 00:49:01,692
Speaker 4: I mean to come Andrew as somebody that watches the

1060
00:49:01,732 --> 00:49:04,252
Speaker 4: AFC South. He's been pretty good for Jacksonville lately. But

1061
00:49:04,973 --> 00:49:07,372
Speaker 4: I mean we are throwing arts from pretty far away

1062
00:49:07,413 --> 00:49:08,172
Speaker 4: from the board right now.

1063
00:49:09,053 --> 00:49:11,172
Speaker 3: I've learned with Jacksonville because I pick a player out

1064
00:49:11,212 --> 00:49:14,692
Speaker 3: every team every week. They're very balanced, like right when

1065
00:49:14,692 --> 00:49:16,332
Speaker 3: you think you know who's gonna have it. And that's

1066
00:49:16,332 --> 00:49:19,172
Speaker 3: why I believe the board's got five guys at plus

1067
00:49:19,212 --> 00:49:21,932
Speaker 3: two hundred or less of all teams. They don't really

1068
00:49:21,933 --> 00:49:23,613
Speaker 3: have a star that's just punching it in every week.

1069
00:49:24,133 --> 00:49:29,332
Speaker 3: So who are you getting, Drew, I'm gonna go. I

1070
00:49:29,453 --> 00:49:32,252
Speaker 3: never gave my team pick either. I'm gonna say Jags

1071
00:49:32,292 --> 00:49:33,973
Speaker 3: get it done, even though I had a part of

1072
00:49:34,013 --> 00:49:34,692
Speaker 3: Bill's mafia.

1073
00:49:34,812 --> 00:49:37,212
Speaker 1: Now, but I will pick James Cook since I just

1074
00:49:37,372 --> 00:49:40,893
Speaker 1: learn about he's the Lady goes James Cook or Jamemes

1075
00:49:40,973 --> 00:49:41,573
Speaker 1: that's crazy.

1076
00:49:41,772 --> 00:49:42,812
Speaker 2: I'm picking James.

1077
00:49:42,652 --> 00:49:45,692
Speaker 1: Cook, all right, So you get James Cook, all right.

1078
00:49:45,772 --> 00:49:49,573
Speaker 1: So then in the afternoon game forty nine Ers and Eagles.

1079
00:49:51,893 --> 00:49:52,292
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1080
00:49:52,453 --> 00:49:54,732
Speaker 1: I think this game. That's another one I could see

1081
00:49:54,772 --> 00:49:56,972
Speaker 1: either team winning. I think you're gonna get a good

1082
00:49:57,053 --> 00:49:59,172
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts game here. That's why I think this is

1083
00:49:59,252 --> 00:50:03,172
Speaker 1: gonna be the game he actually plays well. So I'm

1084
00:50:03,212 --> 00:50:06,493
Speaker 1: gonna get take the Eagles something like I need a

1085
00:50:07,292 --> 00:50:10,333
Speaker 1: ten something like that would be my guess as a score.

1086
00:50:10,692 --> 00:50:12,212
Speaker 2: So give me the Eagles. What about you, Drew?

1087
00:50:13,573 --> 00:50:15,572
Speaker 3: I think the Eagles get the job done because they're

1088
00:50:15,613 --> 00:50:18,093
Speaker 3: just so well rested. I mean, last week they just

1089
00:50:18,133 --> 00:50:20,493
Speaker 3: got their feet up at home watching NFL on TV.

1090
00:50:21,413 --> 00:50:23,613
Speaker 3: So they win, and they better win or I would

1091
00:50:23,613 --> 00:50:26,652
Speaker 3: hate to be Nick Sirianni facing Philadelphia after the way

1092
00:50:26,692 --> 00:50:28,332
Speaker 3: that season would have played out there at the end.

1093
00:50:28,973 --> 00:50:33,253
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Billy, what is your your touchdown?

1094
00:50:33,493 --> 00:50:35,852
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take cmc easy pick, but I will take

1095
00:50:35,852 --> 00:50:37,732
Speaker 4: the forty nine ers to win outright in this one

1096
00:50:37,772 --> 00:50:38,093
Speaker 4: as well.

1097
00:50:39,252 --> 00:50:43,453
Speaker 1: So you're gonna take McCaffrey. All right, that's a totally

1098
00:50:43,573 --> 00:50:48,133
Speaker 1: understandable pick, Drew, What about you? I was gonna go

1099
00:50:48,252 --> 00:50:51,812
Speaker 1: McCaffrey to get me my Eagles win. I guess I'll

1100
00:50:51,893 --> 00:50:53,053
Speaker 1: do Saq one.

1101
00:50:53,133 --> 00:50:56,253
Speaker 2: I hate no no sake. I hate the favorites. That's boring.

1102
00:50:56,533 --> 00:51:00,013
Speaker 3: AJ Brown gets in, mister drama gets him a playoff touchdown.

1103
00:51:00,093 --> 00:51:01,453
Speaker 3: So AJ Brown put me down for that.

1104
00:51:02,292 --> 00:51:07,732
Speaker 2: AJ Brown. So after all that happens, AJ Bren.

1105
00:51:08,332 --> 00:51:09,933
Speaker 3: You gotta get somebody with some odds. I want a

1106
00:51:09,933 --> 00:51:12,613
Speaker 3: little juice. It's no fun watching Derrick Henry run for touchdown?

1107
00:51:12,692 --> 00:51:15,093
Speaker 3: Does every week give me a receiver a tight end?

1108
00:51:15,133 --> 00:51:17,133
Speaker 3: In this case, I'm going receiver and going.

1109
00:51:16,933 --> 00:51:17,212
Speaker 2: To A J.

1110
00:51:17,332 --> 00:51:17,572
Speaker 3: Brown.

1111
00:51:18,372 --> 00:51:24,292
Speaker 1: A J Brown it is for me. I guess I'm

1112
00:51:24,292 --> 00:51:26,613
Speaker 1: gonna have to go Saquon right Like I mean, if

1113
00:51:26,613 --> 00:51:28,652
Speaker 1: you're gonna if you're gonna give them to me, I

1114
00:51:28,732 --> 00:51:31,812
Speaker 1: guess I'll take Uh. I will take Saquon all right.

1115
00:51:31,893 --> 00:51:36,573
Speaker 1: So that night Patriots and Chargers, I've already picked the

1116
00:51:36,692 --> 00:51:40,772
Speaker 1: upset Chargers, make Bill Simmons cry and make all of

1117
00:51:40,973 --> 00:51:44,093
Speaker 1: Boston uh the sadness that it deserves.

1118
00:51:44,533 --> 00:51:46,972
Speaker 2: I'm going to take Justin Herbert on the road. Give

1119
00:51:47,013 --> 00:51:52,533
Speaker 2: me the Chargers. What about you? This is I'm close.

1120
00:51:52,652 --> 00:51:53,692
Speaker 2: I was close to doing that with you.

1121
00:51:53,772 --> 00:51:56,133
Speaker 3: I really think the Patriots could be in trouble here.

1122
00:51:56,212 --> 00:51:57,973
Speaker 3: To be different, I will say the Pats. I just

1123
00:51:58,013 --> 00:51:59,732
Speaker 3: had Drake may as my MVP, so I need to

1124
00:51:59,812 --> 00:52:01,492
Speaker 3: lean into the pats a little bit here. I'll say

1125
00:52:01,933 --> 00:52:04,252
Speaker 3: they get it done at home. But this is don't

1126
00:52:04,292 --> 00:52:06,372
Speaker 3: sleep on Herbert if they can protect him at all.

1127
00:52:06,453 --> 00:52:07,732
Speaker 3: This is a game in there where you can go

1128
00:52:07,772 --> 00:52:09,893
Speaker 3: in there and shine and light him up in New England.

1129
00:52:09,933 --> 00:52:10,853
Speaker 3: But I'll see you're.

1130
00:52:10,772 --> 00:52:13,973
Speaker 2: Taking Drake may Is the is the scored in the touchdown.

1131
00:52:14,332 --> 00:52:17,172
Speaker 2: I'll put put me down for Trevion Henderson for the touchdown.

1132
00:52:17,973 --> 00:52:20,052
Speaker 1: So you're taking Henderson, well, then I will take Drake

1133
00:52:20,133 --> 00:52:25,533
Speaker 1: may Uh for the touchdown. I like having quarterbacks on

1134
00:52:25,613 --> 00:52:25,932
Speaker 1: my team.

1135
00:52:25,973 --> 00:52:28,372
Speaker 4: What about you, Bill, I'll take the rookie Hampton, the

1136
00:52:28,453 --> 00:52:29,932
Speaker 4: running back for the Chargers.

1137
00:52:31,332 --> 00:52:34,172
Speaker 2: Rookie Hampton. All right? Did you know that was almost

1138
00:52:34,252 --> 00:52:43,692
Speaker 2: my name? Omar Marion? What Omrion Nome?

1139
00:52:45,732 --> 00:52:52,212
Speaker 1: Yes, my mom almost namely named me Lamarion, but you

1140
00:52:52,453 --> 00:52:53,292
Speaker 1: decided not to.

1141
00:52:53,812 --> 00:52:55,172
Speaker 2: You could be a Hampton. I could see it.

1142
00:52:55,893 --> 00:52:58,212
Speaker 3: You think I could be a good Hampton. Yeah, I

1143
00:52:58,332 --> 00:53:00,772
Speaker 3: was supposed to be a Joel. People could be listening

1144
00:53:00,812 --> 00:53:04,133
Speaker 3: to it to Hampton and Joel right now, cover.

1145
00:53:04,172 --> 00:53:08,373
Speaker 1: Zero with Hampton and Joel, covers abro with Hampton and Joel.

1146
00:53:08,493 --> 00:53:10,573
Speaker 1: All right, Billy, do you know your backup name?

1147
00:53:10,652 --> 00:53:10,892
Speaker 3: Did you?

1148
00:53:11,093 --> 00:53:15,493
Speaker 4: I was William from minute one. Yeah, so I have

1149
00:53:15,732 --> 00:53:17,372
Speaker 4: to do the fourth for my kid.

1150
00:53:18,852 --> 00:53:22,533
Speaker 1: All Right, we go to Texans and Steelers. Should be

1151
00:53:22,573 --> 00:53:29,772
Speaker 1: a low scoring battle in Pittsburgh. I kind of feel

1152
00:53:29,772 --> 00:53:32,932
Speaker 1: like Pittsburgh is gonna find a way to squeeze this out.

1153
00:53:33,172 --> 00:53:35,773
Speaker 1: It just feels like on a Monday night that crowd

1154
00:53:35,852 --> 00:53:40,333
Speaker 1: advantage will be like strong. So I'm going to actually

1155
00:53:40,413 --> 00:53:43,652
Speaker 1: take the Steelers to win. But on my touchdown, I'm

1156
00:53:43,652 --> 00:53:48,453
Speaker 1: gonna take Nicocollins as my touchdown pick, even though I

1157
00:53:48,573 --> 00:53:51,572
Speaker 1: do believe that Pittsburgh wins the game.

1158
00:53:51,652 --> 00:53:54,173
Speaker 2: What about you, I guess, Billy, you get to pick next.

1159
00:53:55,372 --> 00:53:57,613
Speaker 4: Well, I'm gonna take Houston for the game. But if

1160
00:53:57,652 --> 00:53:59,692
Speaker 4: you'd like my touchdown pick, I think I'm gonna go.

1161
00:53:59,772 --> 00:54:01,172
Speaker 4: Nico Collins gets it done.

1162
00:54:01,692 --> 00:54:04,293
Speaker 1: I said, Nico calls, do you not listen? I literally

1163
00:54:04,372 --> 00:54:07,053
Speaker 1: went first and I said, Nico Cobbs.

1164
00:54:07,133 --> 00:54:08,292
Speaker 4: Oh, I just love him that much.

1165
00:54:08,372 --> 00:54:11,692
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't get to Picky, even if he's

1166
00:54:11,692 --> 00:54:14,133
Speaker 1: going to need to pay attention to the to the

1167
00:54:14,332 --> 00:54:14,812
Speaker 1: to the game.

1168
00:54:14,893 --> 00:54:17,133
Speaker 4: Well, DK metcalf is coming back from suspension, so I

1169
00:54:17,172 --> 00:54:17,933
Speaker 4: think he can get.

1170
00:54:20,013 --> 00:54:24,533
Speaker 1: Well him to score after missing the last two games.

1171
00:54:24,573 --> 00:54:26,532
Speaker 1: So actually I think DK is a good pick. Well,

1172
00:54:26,573 --> 00:54:28,892
Speaker 1: that means, Drew, you give me the game winner and

1173
00:54:28,973 --> 00:54:30,853
Speaker 1: then the final touchdown.

1174
00:54:31,133 --> 00:54:33,533
Speaker 2: You guys took for a place here.

1175
00:54:33,613 --> 00:54:36,492
Speaker 3: I was gonna go Steelers and DK metcalf still keep

Speaker 4: Those picks are our victory Bundle, presented by Livery Mutual.

1198
00:55:51,133 --> 00:55:55,413
Speaker 1: Yes, time for the victory Bundle presented by Liberty Mutual.

1199
00:55:55,573 --> 00:55:57,892
Speaker 1: Let's do the three games that I feel the beast. Well,

1200
00:55:57,933 --> 00:55:59,933
Speaker 1: let's each We'll each do the game we feel the

1201
00:56:00,053 --> 00:56:04,133
Speaker 1: best about against the spread. I'll go first, the game

1202
00:56:04,212 --> 00:56:09,613
Speaker 1: I feel the best about again the spread. See, I

1203
00:56:09,652 --> 00:56:11,572
Speaker 1: don't feel good about any of these games. I guess

1204
00:56:11,613 --> 00:56:15,372
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Buffalo as a road one and a

1205
00:56:15,413 --> 00:56:19,453
Speaker 1: half point favorite. Everyone's gonna bet Buffalo, but I believe

1206
00:56:19,493 --> 00:56:21,493
Speaker 1: in Josh Allen, so I will take Buffalo.

1207
00:56:21,652 --> 00:56:22,732
Speaker 2: Billy, what will you take?

1208
00:56:23,212 --> 00:56:26,133
Speaker 4: I love Houston on the road. They are a three

1209
00:56:26,292 --> 00:56:29,652
Speaker 4: point favorite. They have the best defense in football. Aaron

1210
00:56:29,692 --> 00:56:32,212
Speaker 4: Rodgers used all his magic in the final week of

1211
00:56:32,212 --> 00:56:34,732
Speaker 4: the regular season. Give me Houston as a road face.

1212
00:56:34,812 --> 00:56:36,452
Speaker 1: I don't like that being part of the bundle since

1213
00:56:36,533 --> 00:56:38,973
Speaker 1: Drew and I both picked against it, but we'll take it.

1214
00:56:39,053 --> 00:56:44,332
Speaker 2: Neverthelast Drew. What do you add? Well, Hampton, I'm taking

1215
00:56:44,372 --> 00:56:48,772
Speaker 2: your Bears. They're getting points at home as the two seeds.

1216
00:56:48,812 --> 00:56:50,332
Speaker 2: You tell me they get a point and a half.

1217
00:56:50,413 --> 00:56:51,852
Speaker 2: I think that's what it was last time I saw it.

1218
00:56:51,933 --> 00:56:54,452
Speaker 2: Point and a half. You're giving me that? Absolutely give

1219

00:56:58,732 --> 00:57:02,452
