Speaker 1: From the King of sports Books comes the Key Sports
Speaker 1: Podcast Unleashed, presented by the MGM. Here's your host, Jerry
Speaker 1: Ferrara and Olivia Harlan Decker. Okay, the name of the
Speaker 1: game is parody. The unpredictable NFL season continues. Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, two future Hall of famers. Yeah, they lose
Speaker 1: to a couple of XFL along backup quarterbacks. Really a
Speaker 1: fourth string quarterback for Carolina. So who had that in
Speaker 1: their parlay? That is wild? Jerry Ferrara, I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: it that wasn't on your teasers, was it. No? I
Speaker 1: fortunately stayed away from the Bucks in the teaser because
Speaker 1: they destroyed mine the week before. I did have the
Speaker 1: Packer in a teaser, but different than Peter Andrew who
Speaker 1: had them at plus one and a half. I waited
Speaker 1: and bought the extra point to make the Packers plus
Speaker 1: three and they lost by two. So my teas are
Speaker 1: held up by the but I had, like by the
Speaker 1: insurance points almost to make Aaron Rodgers and the Packers
Speaker 1: hit a teaser. That's so sad. I know they've been
Speaker 1: favorites in their last three games, they've dropped all three.
Speaker 1: We'll get two more of that later. Unfortunately, we've got
Speaker 1: to give that a little air time. But hey, we
Speaker 1: got a World Series set Houston Astros Philadelphia Phillies that
Speaker 1: begins Friday. Jerry, I know you've got some thoughts on that.
Speaker 1: What what comes to mind right away, this is the
Speaker 1: exact two teams that should be there. My Yankees lost
Speaker 1: the Astros justifiably, so the Astros are so much better
Speaker 1: than the Yankees, and the Phillies are that awesome baseball
Speaker 1: story about the team that gets hot at the right time.
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper, happy for him. You know, I and I
Speaker 1: just think it's a great, great matchup, and I honestly
Speaker 1: would I want the Yankees to be there to watch.
Speaker 1: But this, to me is gonna be better baseball. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm with it. I'm for you. I was thinking when
Speaker 1: I was watching that Padres Billy's last game, and it's rainy,
Speaker 1: it's cold, everyone's there in jackets, and it did look
Speaker 1: like a really fun atmosphere. But I'm like, you know,
Speaker 1: Jerry's right, these games should be done by now. You're
Speaker 1: coming around, just isn't right. Yeah, we're gonna do more
Speaker 1: on that at some point. I'll lay out a whole
Speaker 1: bigger case. But yeah, baseball, get it together. And then
Speaker 1: I posted something on Twitter. I was just looking at
Speaker 1: all the Southern California teams and like where they should,
Speaker 1: like where, like where they after the Lakers lost that
Speaker 1: game on Sunday, I'm like, where are the Lakers ranking?
Speaker 1: And all the Southern California professional teams take U, C,
Speaker 1: l A, and USC out, and it's gonna be like
Speaker 1: Dodgers Padres. I mean you go charge, you could charges rams, like,
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot that could go in front
Speaker 1: of them. Just there's I mean, don't all of them
Speaker 1: pretty much. I think the Angels at the bottom. Sannaheim,
Speaker 1: you know, you have two really good players, that's really it.
Speaker 1: I think the Angels maybe are like the bottom. I
Speaker 1: think the Kings might even be ahead right now. What's
Speaker 1: the l A Galaxy doing right now? Let's out? Someone
Speaker 1: tweeted at me about like the there was some crazy matchup.
Speaker 1: I know nothing about soccer. I'm sorry, guys listening. Oh
Speaker 1: they're in the They're in the conference semifinals, right yeah,
Speaker 1: so yeah, throw them in. Sure, I just don't know
Speaker 1: enough to put them there. But the Padres are ahead.
Speaker 1: You know so yeah, yeah, Akers, tough sledding. Yeah, we'll
Speaker 1: get to more NBA news. Take our our takes from
Speaker 1: the first week. I think we've learned a lot, at
Speaker 1: least enough for some podcast bodder because some surprises in
Speaker 1: the opening week of the NBA season. But we have
Speaker 1: a really great guest coming up today, Pro Football Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer Andre Read. He's joining us. We're going to
Speaker 1: talk to him about his legendary career and if he
Speaker 1: thinks that this is the year is Buffalo Bills finally
Speaker 1: bring the Lombardi Trophy back to Buffalo quick? Jerry, what
Speaker 1: do you think do they? I think this is definitely
Speaker 1: the best year to do it. And I'm curious to
Speaker 1: talk to Andre Read to about, you know, the Beckham
Speaker 1: thing and is is he really going to maybe go
Speaker 1: to the Bills or do they even need him? Like
Speaker 1: they're so loaded to be great for death. So a
Speaker 1: lot to talk about. And Andre Reid's game is just
Speaker 1: one of those receivers you look at like right now,
Speaker 1: I plug him into any team with the way he played,
Speaker 1: and he's like the perfect receiver. Absolutely. I think he's
Speaker 1: like second all time and Super Bowl receptions behind Jerry
Speaker 1: Rice or something. I mean, this is this is a
Speaker 1: big guest today, Jerry. I'm excited to talk to him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're following up Kevin Garnett. You say, oh, b J,
Speaker 1: and I don't think the Bills need him. So many
Speaker 1: teams need a receiver more than the Bills, one of
Speaker 1: them being the Green Bay Packers. Holy cow. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm kind of running out of words, and it's it's
Speaker 1: making me feel better that Tom Brady and the Buccaneers
Speaker 1: are also laying an egg at the same time because
Speaker 1: very different trajectories, very different stories, but both TV twelve
Speaker 1: and a Rod we're upset big with what. You know,
Speaker 1: a lot of people are getting side I from the
Speaker 1: rest of the league. Right. I mentioned green Bay gets
Speaker 1: their third straight loss, and that's the first three game
Speaker 1: skid under Matt la Floor. Like ever since he's come
Speaker 1: to Green Bay, things have been rosy, So I don't
Speaker 1: know what to make of it. I saw one headline
Speaker 1: that said it's wilful negligence in reference to what the
Speaker 1: front office did at the receiver position, and I think
Speaker 1: that sums it up pretty well. I think it does too.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they took a big bet with
Speaker 1: their rookie receiver that And look, you can't say he
Speaker 1: hasn't panned out because it's only been seven games. But
Speaker 1: for seven games it certainly hasn't penned. I mean, you
Speaker 1: were running Randall Cobb out there, and this is no
Speaker 1: disrespect to Randall cop I love Randall Cobb five years ago.
Speaker 1: You know. It's uh, it's a lot too. It's a
Speaker 1: lot to ask, So I'm no longer surprised by and
Speaker 1: it doesn't get any easier the cat the Packers have
Speaker 1: to walk into those very same Buffalo Bill we were
Speaker 1: just talking about next week, so there's no end in
Speaker 1: the horizon. This would be a huge upset to me
Speaker 1: if they could somehouse. There are eleven and a half
Speaker 1: point underdogs right now, Aaron rod eleven and a half
Speaker 1: and a half point. Now, grant it's the Bills and
Speaker 1: it's in Buffalo eleven. When's the last time Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: has been a double digit underdog in a game. We
Speaker 1: need John Ewing to answer that question. We're going to
Speaker 1: get on that and if we find out the answer
Speaker 1: by the end of the show, we'll put it at
Speaker 1: the end when we talk to Peter Andrew. But I
Speaker 1: mean it's crazy. I think what concerns me so much
Speaker 1: about Green Bay is that they didn't convert a third
Speaker 1: down for the first time since. Let that sink in
Speaker 1: for a minute, like it's so tough. And of course
Speaker 1: when their division is usually the Aaron Rodgers Invitational. Now
Speaker 1: they have the same record as the Bears, and oh yeah,
Speaker 1: the Vikings are legit leading the way at five and
Speaker 1: one coming off by But you know, I will say,
Speaker 1: in regards to the NFC North, the Vikings have a
Speaker 1: pretty tough month at Arizona Bills Cowboys, but as you mentioned,
Speaker 1: Packers as well, starting with a trip to Buffalo this weekend,
Speaker 1: and then they have Dallas, Tennessee, Philly. So NFC North
Speaker 1: I think would be really interesting here in the next month.
Speaker 1: That's actually kind of how I feel about the whole NFL.
Speaker 1: I think November defines a lot of what you're doing,
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? Because any early season
Speaker 1: kinks are out of the way, injuries are piling up,
Speaker 1: or you're getting healthy like a team like you know,
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, for example, I keep mentioning every
Speaker 1: week they're about to get healthy. They're gonna get so good.
Speaker 1: They added CMC. You know, I don't know. November is
Speaker 1: gonna be pretty good in the NFL. It's been, yes,
Speaker 1: But before we close out October, could we just salute
Speaker 1: October and maybe now formally rename it money line Parlay
Speaker 1: October because if you were riding underdogs on Monday money
Speaker 1: line parlays for the last two three weeks, you have
Speaker 1: made some money. My it's just been one after the other.
Speaker 1: The Buccaneer losing outright after having to ten points, you know,
Speaker 1: being favored by over ten points two weeks in a row.
Speaker 1: That's one of the worst losses I think I've ever
Speaker 1: seen a supposed Super Bowl contending team had. They just
Speaker 1: got abused for four quarters and I love, I mean,
Speaker 1: just three points against a team that has pretty much
Speaker 1: packed it up. Carolina just fired their coach, traded one
Speaker 1: of their best players. Um, they're playing their fourth string quarterback,
Speaker 1: I mean, and they put up twenty one points on them, right,
Speaker 1: that's inexcusable. Do you think this is going to be
Speaker 1: the most Like you know, NBA, there's always these kind
Speaker 1: of moves where a team is like, wait, we're underachieving,
Speaker 1: we gotta make a move. Does Tampa and Green Bay
Speaker 1: like they have to make a move for this to
Speaker 1: get better. I mean, Tampa to me does have more
Speaker 1: blue Chippers on both sides of the ball. When Mike
Speaker 1: Evans dropped that touchdown pass on like the opening play,
Speaker 1: that's where I knew Tampa was in trouble because Mike
Speaker 1: Evans does not drop passes like that. But they have
Speaker 1: no middle of the field presence. I know it supposed
Speaker 1: to be Govin. The Bucks have to be like, offer
Speaker 1: something for Gisicky or beg Grunk. They have to get
Speaker 1: one more because I had to say it was Antonio
Speaker 1: Brown doing right now. Antonio Brown would be like the
Speaker 1: perfect piece for this team. That's never gonna happen, but
Speaker 1: they need something offensively. Yeah, and obviously Julio Jones out
Speaker 1: with a knee and he got way too much preseason
Speaker 1: hype for an injury prone older guy, right. I mean
Speaker 1: everyone was all excited about Julio Jones. I wasn't buying it.
Speaker 1: Mike Evans is expected to miss tonight's game against the Ravens.
Speaker 1: Wrestle gauges out. Yeah, Chris Godwin's kind of it as
Speaker 1: far as options that he trusts, and they're also one
Speaker 1: of the worst rushing teams in the league. They're dead
Speaker 1: last in some rushing stats, so they don't have a
Speaker 1: lot going for him offensively. And again a short week
Speaker 1: after that Panther's loss, and yeah, tonight against the Ravens.
Speaker 1: I like the Ravens in this spot. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: the Ravens have their own issues as well as we've seen,
Speaker 1: but two huge games. I can't stress how big these
Speaker 1: games are for the Packers in the because these are
Speaker 1: easily games that they could lose, and if they do,
Speaker 1: then they're really starting to get far behind. The Packers
Speaker 1: might almost be too far behind the catch up. The
Speaker 1: Bucks fortunately are in the South, so they could throw
Speaker 1: it away for a few more weeks and maybe they're
Speaker 1: just trying to get healthy and back by like week
Speaker 1: ten and they can start there run there. But this
Speaker 1: it's just been hard to watch, been ugly. Speaking of
Speaker 1: the Nnessey South, I have a hot take. I don't
Speaker 1: think the winner of this division will have double digit wins.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's so bad. In Tampa. Bay is
Speaker 1: still leading and they beat Atlanta and the head to head,
Speaker 1: so they're good there, but yikes, what a horrible division.
Speaker 1: And I just gotta say one more thing with the
Speaker 1: Tom Brady stuff. Obviously, everything going on off the field
Speaker 1: is really sad, Like I actually hate watching this, and
Speaker 1: I heard Bill Simmons on his podcast say his sources
Speaker 1: have told him that his divorce is all but finalized,
Speaker 1: which is really horrible. I hate to see that, and
Speaker 1: then that kind of loops in Antonio Brown just being
Speaker 1: at caustic asshole tweeting this stuff and putting up pictures
Speaker 1: of him and Giselle. It's all such a mess. I
Speaker 1: can't imagine Tom Brady walking into the facility every every
Speaker 1: day with all this going on. You know, he's got
Speaker 1: kids and there's a lot going on. Um, but this
Speaker 1: is the first time in his in twenty years, in
Speaker 1: the last twenty years, that Tom Brady is under five.
Speaker 1: I mean, you got like a five million dollar broadcasting
Speaker 1: contract waiting for you that you signed when we thought
Speaker 1: you retired. I still love watching Brady play. I do
Speaker 1: want to see him try to make one more run.
Speaker 1: I think it'll be fun. But look, Eli and Peyton,
Speaker 1: they they just had Obama on the Manning cast and
Speaker 1: they had Bill Burt look like they're having fun. So
Speaker 1: you know, maybe that that could be fun, Tom. It
Speaker 1: could be great. It could be great. I think he'd
Speaker 1: be so great. But you know, not not that I'm
Speaker 1: his therapist or anything, but I would take a couple
Speaker 1: of years off, you know, just kind of get kind
Speaker 1: of figure some stuff out. Anyways, I don't even know
Speaker 1: if that means for him taking a few years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he probably can't. He probably one of those guys who
Speaker 1: truly can't. Probably not a very good hang on vacation,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm serious, Like there's some guys who just
Speaker 1: cannot turn it off. This will be a good heat
Speaker 1: check if he's listening. My husband fits in this category sometimes.
Speaker 1: My husband, when we go on vacation, does not know
Speaker 1: how to sit still. See I'm the opposite. I only
Speaker 1: want to sit still on vacation. I don't want to
Speaker 1: go snorkeling. I don't want to go see the cool mountain,
Speaker 1: like we're in a cool hotel. Let's just kick it.
Speaker 1: I don't want to do anything on vacation. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: The first we're dating, and he was with the Houston
Speaker 1: Rockets and it was NBA All Star Break and we
Speaker 1: were going to go to Mexico and it was like
Speaker 1: our first trip together. And he said, what are we
Speaker 1: gonna do? And I was like, you know, I just
Speaker 1: sit on the beach, Penny Clods, I don't know. And
Speaker 1: we get there and he we sit up on the
Speaker 1: beach and he goes, so what are we gonna do?
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh boy, I have to teach this guy
Speaker 1: how to vacation. Anyways, that's a tangent. Like I said,
Speaker 1: I'm not a relationship therapist, but start with a good vacation. Well,
Speaker 1: here's my last hot take before we move on. I
Speaker 1: go pool over beach all day Oh, you're one of
Speaker 1: those guys who doesn't like to get dirty. You don't
Speaker 1: like the sand, like the sand on my toe. I
Speaker 1: pool over beach all day long. Okay, I can get it.
Speaker 1: But that's saltwater, man. Oh that is that is medicine.
Speaker 1: A seatox. Okay, it's time Jerry for a Halloween edition
Speaker 1: of Unleaked. It's time to unleash. We're calling this game
Speaker 1: trick or treat, which is how original. That's right. One
Speaker 1: thing is for sure this NFL season, anybody can beat anybody.
Speaker 1: One day a team looks great, the next they're suffering
Speaker 1: a humiliating loss. So it's very spooky stuff. So a
Speaker 1: team will knock on the door and then Jerry, you
Speaker 1: and I will decide if they are playing tricks on
Speaker 1: us this season or if they're actually a treat. Are
Speaker 1: you ready? I'm ready. Let's do it all right, Let's
Speaker 1: use that the door first. Oh, look who it is.
Speaker 1: It's the four and three Los Angeles Chargers, Olivia. This
Speaker 1: one's an easy one for me. This is a trick.
Speaker 1: They've been tricking us. And if it's not injuries, like
Speaker 1: you know j C. Jackson for the season, which is horrible,
Speaker 1: or Mike Williams for a couple of weeks. I also
Speaker 1: think that Herbert, who's great like but is he great? Like? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he does things that look great, but like, let's win
Speaker 1: some games. Two charges have been tricking us. I'm with you.
Speaker 1: I think they're a trick. They just lost by two
Speaker 1: scores at home to your Seattle Seahawks after three game
Speaker 1: win streak, and like you mentioned, they lost a lot
Speaker 1: more than just the game. J C. Jackson, Mike Williams,
Speaker 1: Ed Rusher Chris Chris Rump also injured in this game.
Speaker 1: They're already without Joey Bosa, who's recovering from a growing surgery. Uh. Look,
Speaker 1: they just got Keenan Allen back, but he didn't even
Speaker 1: play in the second half because he wasn't feeling it.
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I think. I think they are
Speaker 1: as depleted as any team in the NFL. The Oline
Speaker 1: has struggled. The run game is a mess. They're a
Speaker 1: trick Okay, who's at the door? Next it's the floor
Speaker 1: and two Titans and Jerry. I think they are a
Speaker 1: treat top of the a f C. South there four
Speaker 1: and two. Like I said, they're exceeding expectations. No one
Speaker 1: saw this coming. They're playing old school football. It's non flashy.
Speaker 1: And now we've got to see how Tannehill does after
Speaker 1: this ankle injury he just had last week against the Colts,
Speaker 1: and that when he did finish the game, we got
Speaker 1: to monitor it. But him coming back to finish that
Speaker 1: game shows how tough they are because the old line
Speaker 1: kind of similar story. Guys are fighting through these injuries
Speaker 1: and Derrick Henry three straight weeks of a hundred yards
Speaker 1: and more importantly, this defense is legit at a couple
Speaker 1: interceptions for his bumble last week. They got Matt Ryan benched,
Speaker 1: So I like them. They're a treat. I completely agree.
Speaker 1: The history has shown on their fabel they are a treat.
Speaker 1: We kind of always look past the Titans. I don't
Speaker 1: know why, but they're always there. That division is such
Speaker 1: a mess. I think they got the Texans and the
Speaker 1: Broncos next to two out of three weeks. So there's
Speaker 1: a lot of wins there. Yeah, and even if Tannehill,
Speaker 1: who if he struggles with injuries, I like Mollie Willis
Speaker 1: coming in if he has to give them some some snaps.
Speaker 1: And Matt Ryan you mentioned and I don't know, I
Speaker 1: they're gonna show up at the door. We're talking about
Speaker 1: saving private Ryan not Ryan might need to just like,
Speaker 1: yeah he's done that. That looks bad him and do
Speaker 1: him and Tom Brady need to go on vacation together.
Speaker 1: Maybe just like they can go stay somewhere really nice.
Speaker 1: They're super loaded. I just do something. Yeah, we don't know.
Speaker 1: If we don't know if the cults are gonna knock,
Speaker 1: we don't know who's up next. This is an interesting one,
Speaker 1: great costume. The four and three Miami Dolphins. I have
Speaker 1: to say treat. I mean, it's such a shame. I'm
Speaker 1: worried because of everything with Ta and what he's been
Speaker 1: through the last few weeks. And Kenny stay healthy. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a thing to look out for.
Speaker 1: But they did show how stout they could be against Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: They had some big fourth quarter stops to win. The
Speaker 1: offense did just enough, and they're just not healthy yet.
Speaker 1: If they get healthy and stay healthy, they are a
Speaker 1: treat all day. Yeah, in this Tyreek Hill experiment is
Speaker 1: paying off. I love tyreekan to it together. They've proven
Speaker 1: to be a great match. They have Detroit this weekend.
Speaker 1: Mark that as a win. Dolphins are a treat. Okay,
Speaker 1: who's at the door. It's the Ravens and they're also
Speaker 1: four and three, and Jerry, I hope I don't regret
Speaker 1: saying this. I think they're a trick. I think they're
Speaker 1: a trick. Now. Look, the defense has improved a lot.
Speaker 1: Their top five in the NFL and interceptions. They pulled
Speaker 1: one off last week at a three point win over Cleveland.
Speaker 1: But look, I'm concerned about this offense. They're trending in
Speaker 1: the wrong direction. Lamar Jackson only had sixteen pass attempts
Speaker 1: last week. He hasn't really gotten in a rhythm the
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. Actually, they're averaging just twenty and
Speaker 1: a half points, about twenty points three twenty yards in
Speaker 1: their last four games. Their first three they average thirty
Speaker 1: three and three eighty. And I'm throwing a lot of
Speaker 1: numbers at you. But it's bad. Okay, it's bad. And
Speaker 1: they play tonight against Tampa Bay. I think this could
Speaker 1: be a get back game for a team that is
Speaker 1: super vulnerable, and they need it because Lamar Jackson needs
Speaker 1: to get in his rhythm in the passing game. They're
Speaker 1: struggling on offense. There a trick. I think they're an
Speaker 1: absolute treat. Now. I know it hasn't looked good. They
Speaker 1: are also one of the most injured teams in the league.
Speaker 1: It just year in, year out. I do think Lamar's
Speaker 1: looked good, not great great in flashes could look better,
Speaker 1: and I think will once they get you know, they
Speaker 1: get their running backs healthy at some point and their
Speaker 1: receivers healthy at some point. Four and three in that division,
Speaker 1: I think the Bengals are coming alive. But also think
Speaker 1: about the a f C for a minute. Okay, who
Speaker 1: are the wild card teams? Really? Who are we talking
Speaker 1: about when we think wild cards? Is it the cults?
Speaker 1: Is that the Chargers, Is that the Dolphins? Is that
Speaker 1: the Jets? I think the Ravens are a shoe in
Speaker 1: for a wild card team, So I'm going I'm going
Speaker 1: to treat okay, all right, this is another Los Angeles team,
Speaker 1: l A so so cow sports just killing it this year.
Speaker 1: The three and three Rams for me Olivia, this is
Speaker 1: an absolute trick. Now I know they won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: They're missing von Miller and O b J for sure.
Speaker 1: I think this isn't even a trick. I think this
Speaker 1: is like now the old dude who still wants to
Speaker 1: go to the costume party. It's like put the costume away,
Speaker 1: like Halloween's like wu tang, It's for the kids, like
Speaker 1: put it away, don't show up. Why are you still
Speaker 1: trick or treating? You're old? I'm worried. Now. Could the
Speaker 1: Rams get healthy? Put it together with that veteran team
Speaker 1: for sure, and they still got Jealen Ramsey and I
Speaker 1: love McVeigh, but I don't like when I'm seeing motivationally
Speaker 1: and also just age wise with Stafford, that's a lot
Speaker 1: of hits he's taken. It's a lot of wear and tear.
Speaker 1: So it's Cooper cop versus the world. Yeah, I hear you.
Speaker 1: I think Rams are a treat. I think they're getting healthier,
Speaker 1: just in time. They have San Francisco this weekend. I
Speaker 1: think they beat San Francisco. Um. But yeah, their division
Speaker 1: has proven more difficult than expected, mostly because of your Seahawks. Again,
Speaker 1: I've come out of nowhere and then I do think
Speaker 1: San Francisco with the addition of Christian McCaffrey now and again,
Speaker 1: they just need like two of these stars to come back.
Speaker 1: They're just anyways, that's a tangent, but division is tough.
Speaker 1: Rams are going to get better. Um. I think they
Speaker 1: are a treat. Okay, we've talked a lot about him.
Speaker 1: Knock knock, knock. Here are Jerry's Seahawks sitting up four
Speaker 1: and three seven weeks into the season. No one would
Speaker 1: have thought that the Seahawks would be leading the NFC
Speaker 1: West with the hell my co host and Jerry, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm really glad that we got this on tape a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. That might have even been our
Speaker 1: first show. But you are looking very smart here. Look,
Speaker 1: they have a young team. They've rookies up and down
Speaker 1: the starting lineup, and they all believe. It's like the
Speaker 1: ted Lasso believe sign must be in that locker room.
Speaker 1: They have this all decade coach and Gino Smith at quarterback.
Speaker 1: He's putting together a Pro Bowl season. He's earning himself
Speaker 1: a lot of money next year. And Kenneth Walker the third,
Speaker 1: My god, I can't say enough good things about him.
Speaker 1: He was crazy. So I don't know. I'm worried with
Speaker 1: DK mccalf. I think he's going to try to come
Speaker 1: back to early. I think he's out this week, Um,
Speaker 1: probably a couple of weeks, but he's going to try
Speaker 1: to come back. Um. Luckily he doesn't need surgery on
Speaker 1: that knee injury. But look, they have some winnable games
Speaker 1: coming up, and I don't know. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I want treat I don't think you declared. You have
Speaker 1: not declared yet. You have to declare. You just laid
Speaker 1: out a beauty case for you. Got to declare. I
Speaker 1: just I can't do it. I can't do it. I
Speaker 1: just don't think like some magic with a young squad
Speaker 1: is sustainable. I just have a hard time saying that
Speaker 1: this is for what have they been this year to
Speaker 1: this point? Have they been a trick or have they
Speaker 1: been a treat? Oh, they've been a treat, And what
Speaker 1: do you see going forward? So you're saying up, listen, Key,
Speaker 1: I need all this doubt. I love it. Keep bringing it.
Speaker 1: I want everyone to keep bringing it, because now we
Speaker 1: turn on any podcast or any any talking head show,
Speaker 1: the Seahawks or Everyone's darling? Who's darling? Were you first? Seattle?
Speaker 1: Who's darling? When you first? I believe? And I'm the
Speaker 1: only one you drafted Kenneth Walker and so many people
Speaker 1: in my fantasy leagues like who you watch? I do
Speaker 1: worry about the DK Metcalf thing. That's that's a little troubling.
Speaker 1: And Key again when they took him off on that cart, thought, oh,
Speaker 1: he probably just has to pee again. That was last week.
Speaker 1: I have over wins and I have Division winner on
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, and I have that mixed in with some
Speaker 1: giants over winds Parley. I I have some stuff in
Speaker 1: the my futures profile. Is you'd want to invest in
Speaker 1: my futures profile? Yeah? God, your kid's tuition on the
Speaker 1: line right there with the Seahawks. Okay, a couple more,
Speaker 1: This one will be fun for you. I can't wait
Speaker 1: trick or treat. Who's at the door. It's the Minnesota
Speaker 1: Vikings at five and one. I mean, it ain't pretty,
Speaker 1: but you have to say treat. Okay, they're coming off
Speaker 1: a bye, so you like the thing that they're healthy.
Speaker 1: Everything is just lining up. Green Bay continues to get words, Cousins,
Speaker 1: continues to get better, and continues to not get hit.
Speaker 1: He's one of the least sack quarter acts in the league.
Speaker 1: Hard to believe that. And the only loss is to
Speaker 1: Philly and that was a game. Now they have only
Speaker 1: one four they won four straight since by like one score.
Speaker 1: They're kind of a heart attack waiting to happen when
Speaker 1: you watch that As a sustainable I don't know. But
Speaker 1: they have Justin Jefferson, and to me, that's also someone.
Speaker 1: While we talked about this trick or treat stuff, I
Speaker 1: love talking Justin Jefferson. Plus six hundred for Offensive Player
Speaker 1: of the Year. I think that's a good number to
Speaker 1: get right now. He's not the favorite by any stretch.
Speaker 1: I think it's Jalen Hurts. I think that's a great
Speaker 1: number to do a little sprinkling on Justin Jefferson offensive
Speaker 1: player of the Year. Not you know, it's not a
Speaker 1: lottery ticket, but I think it's a solid investment. Right
Speaker 1: now that number goes lower, I think that number the
Speaker 1: odds get worse. I'd be an idiot to say the
Speaker 1: Vikings are not a treat. I really think they are.
Speaker 1: As I mentioned earlier, they have a tough November schedule.
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, top three receiver in the league. He's so
Speaker 1: much fun to watch. Now, if I can be a
Speaker 1: hater for a minute, I would say they're four straight
Speaker 1: game that they've won by one score. Is that one
Speaker 1: of those situations where you can say, does their record
Speaker 1: look better than they are? You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: I mean, if we're it's a game of inches, are
Speaker 1: we inches away from them being like three and three?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just trying to be a hater,
Speaker 1: but they're a treat. What am I saying? Okay, the
Speaker 1: New York Giants your team. I gotta see him up
Speaker 1: close and personal here in London, England. I gotta see
Speaker 1: him beat my team, and that was not fun. But
Speaker 1: they are a treat. Tough ground games, second most rush
Speaker 1: yards in the NFL. They have Dallas on their heels,
Speaker 1: and now they have Dak Prescott back to really find
Speaker 1: a groove. And those two teams meet on Thanksgiving. That
Speaker 1: is a huge game. But Jerry, I think the Giants
Speaker 1: went out until that game at Seattle. Then they host
Speaker 1: the Texans, then they host the Lions. They're legit, They're
Speaker 1: not getting much respect around the league, and I think
Speaker 1: they are a treat. I think that is a harder
Speaker 1: and six and one record. So look, this is an
Speaker 1: emotional one for me, and I'm going to be careful
Speaker 1: year because I love underdog mentality. We were underdogs last week,
Speaker 1: gonna be underdogs again in Seattle. Historically, Seattle has been
Speaker 1: a really weird place for the Giants to play. I
Speaker 1: remember the Sean Alexander game when they had like forty
Speaker 1: five false start penalties because it was so loud in there.
Speaker 1: It bums me out because like, obviously, the Giants are
Speaker 1: my favorite team and the Seahawks are my crush of
Speaker 1: the year, so it's hard. I obviously want the Giants
Speaker 1: to win, but it's gonna hurt my Seahawks bet. But yeah,
Speaker 1: the Giants are a treat. And I will say Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: first to cow I haven't cared about the Thanksgiving game,
Speaker 1: and I don't know how many years now my birthday
Speaker 1: is November, I'm either on or around Thanksgiving. This year
Speaker 1: it's the next day. And now we've segued into adulthood
Speaker 1: where Brie and I were like the we host Thanksgiving,
Speaker 1: so I have full control of TV's not going to
Speaker 1: someone else's house, and it's like they want the Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: parade on. That game will be on every single TV.
Speaker 1: I could disappear into my own bedroom if I want
Speaker 1: gets too intense, and I could like sweat it out
Speaker 1: in there. And lastly, I'm sorry, lastly talk about coach crush.
Speaker 1: I have a coach crush. I think we all do.
Speaker 1: Brian Dable coming out of Jacksonville walking up to the
Speaker 1: fans signing autographs while smoking a cigar where black cement
Speaker 1: Jordan's threes. Are you kidding me? It's like someone said, hey,
Speaker 1: let's make Jerry Ferraras like favorite things and put it
Speaker 1: in a coach. Oh my god. I put that video
Speaker 1: to the opening theme song for the Sopranos because it
Speaker 1: had strong Tony soprano vibes coming out with the cigar. Well,
Speaker 1: what a guy. I just stable, But I have such
Speaker 1: a coach crush on Dable it's insane. Boy. We have
Speaker 1: different definitions of coach crush, because for me, I'm just
Speaker 1: thinking Mata Fleur is a good looking man. Okay, let's
Speaker 1: move on. That was a good unleashed segment. I'm exhausted
Speaker 1: from trick or treating. I realized why I'm too old
Speaker 1: for the ship. Our guest today is one of the
Speaker 1: best to ever do it. At wide receiver. He holds
Speaker 1: nearly every Buffalo Bills receiving record, played in seven straight
Speaker 1: Pro Bowls, and of course help the Bills win a
Speaker 1: record four straight a SC championships. My god, Pro Football
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer Andre Read is here. Welcome to the show,
Speaker 1: Andre oh Man. You know, we talked of off camera
Speaker 1: here a little bit, so we're all over the place.
Speaker 1: But I'm glad to be here. I appreciate you guys.
Speaker 1: Finally I'm finally getting it right here to get on
Speaker 1: with you. So here we go. I love it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're you're in Ottawa right now and and always doing
Speaker 1: some work off the field and your post career. But look,
Speaker 1: I'm always curious about this. As the NFL evolved, which
Speaker 1: are some of the offenses you'd love to play in today? Well,
Speaker 1: you know what's That's a great question because a lot
Speaker 1: of the offenses have used our formula in a way
Speaker 1: if you guys, you guys don't, maybe you do, you
Speaker 1: probably do remember to know huddle and uh fast paced.
Speaker 1: So that's always has been a part of their people's offenses.
Speaker 1: But um, the game is different. They want to spread
Speaker 1: you out even more than they did when we when
Speaker 1: I came in the league, especially when our no huddle
Speaker 1: started working real well. You know, you gotta have a
Speaker 1: good quarterback that knows what he's doing, good receivers, a
Speaker 1: good running back that we had. But the offenses now
Speaker 1: were you know all about the quarterback. It's always been
Speaker 1: about the quarterback and getting the guys around them to
Speaker 1: make them better in their their offense more efficient. Um,
Speaker 1: you need to stout the offensive line that can protect
Speaker 1: that guy. And that's really the trend, it's been a
Speaker 1: trend the last twenty years in the league is to
Speaker 1: have that stud quarterback. You gotta have the receivers and
Speaker 1: you gotta have a running back that can catch the
Speaker 1: ball and run ball. Now, I'm not letting you have
Speaker 1: to hook that easy. You gotta name a team. I
Speaker 1: think the Bills, the chief staying the Bills. Of course,
Speaker 1: the Bills and the Rams are kind of like you
Speaker 1: know that those teams. You know, you got Cooper cup
Speaker 1: On with the Rams and Stafford, and you've got Digs
Speaker 1: and Gabriel Davis with Josh Allen. Uh So, of course
Speaker 1: I'm biased. I'm gonna go with the Bills. You're right, obviously,
Speaker 1: although your phone might ring, and it might be Tom
Speaker 1: Brady or Aaron Rodgers because they're in desperate need of
Speaker 1: some receiving health. So your phone might ring and say, hey,
Speaker 1: and could you come give us a quarter right now?
Speaker 1: I feel like you got that in you right now,
Speaker 1: you're in great shape. I can actually give them a quarter,
Speaker 1: actually a quarter, like like a physical quarter, a physical quarter.
Speaker 1: I give them anything else. I don't know about that,
Speaker 1: but again, um, obviously you have Yes, the Bills, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with. Their offense are very you don't see
Speaker 1: really fast paced offenses anymore. It's more about efficiency and
Speaker 1: the guys in the right positions doing the right things
Speaker 1: with an offensive line that can protect the quarterback. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know you mentioned how a lot of teams right
Speaker 1: now play the style that you you know, the Bills
Speaker 1: are playing. In the nineties, and uh, I absolutely was
Speaker 1: always a friend. I'm a Giants fan, so even in
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl I was terrified to play your bills
Speaker 1: like that offense was something we never saw before. They
Speaker 1: did a good job of keeping us off the field.
Speaker 1: And to stop an offense that could score a lot
Speaker 1: of points, you don't let them on the field. And
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's what the Giants did back in
Speaker 1: the day. But I don't know if that's the benchmark
Speaker 1: of how defenses go about defense and some of these
Speaker 1: really good offenses nowadays, it probably still is. You've got
Speaker 1: to keep them off the field and don't make mistakes
Speaker 1: and and keep them within you know what they not
Speaker 1: only what they do best, but trying to limit them
Speaker 1: at what they do best. You know, it's fun. Thanks
Speaker 1: to YouTube, we can look up so many great highlights.
Speaker 1: Tap type in anyone and you can see any play
Speaker 1: any day. It's really cool seeing some one handed catches
Speaker 1: of yours. Now they go viral, you know, on social media,
Speaker 1: but you know you were you were doing it long before,
Speaker 1: oh b J. So what was the comparison then of
Speaker 1: just people walking down the street and saying, hey, nice catch,
Speaker 1: Because it's all over the internet. So social media has
Speaker 1: not only enhanced sports, but it's enhanced the world. And
Speaker 1: you know, in the early eighties and early nineties, late eighties,
Speaker 1: early nineties, there was no such thing. And um, I
Speaker 1: tell all these guys, you can have one catch and
Speaker 1: that can go viral and that could be the catch
Speaker 1: that makes you who you are. And if you don't
Speaker 1: back in the eighties, if you didn't see that catch,
Speaker 1: you might not ever see it. So that's the difference.
Speaker 1: That's definitely the difference. Now guys, guys are out there more,
Speaker 1: they're doing a lot more and using their platform more
Speaker 1: to enhance what they do, want to feel and what
Speaker 1: they do off the field, for better, for worse, yes,
Speaker 1: hopefully for better, mostly for better. Yeah, you know, in
Speaker 1: recent years, but we said, we've seen it in the
Speaker 1: NBA where the sort of the super team, right, we
Speaker 1: never really saw it in football, but we're starting to
Speaker 1: see it a little bit more where it seems like
Speaker 1: guys are sort of pairing up almost like there's player recruiting.
Speaker 1: Was there anyone that you can recall back during those
Speaker 1: Bills years that not that you were recruiting necessarily because
Speaker 1: it's such a different era, but just someone that you
Speaker 1: need the Bills are maybe even close to get. It's like,
Speaker 1: if we just get this guy here, it would put
Speaker 1: us over the level. Or were you guys just all
Speaker 1: not enemies? But just like he didn't even think that
Speaker 1: way to We didn't know that's that's a good question
Speaker 1: to you guys are coming up with some good ones.
Speaker 1: We didn't even think of it that way because we
Speaker 1: had everything. We felt we had a team that we
Speaker 1: wanted to keep the keep together for ten to fifteen
Speaker 1: years if we could and develop that. Obviously, free agency
Speaker 1: was big back then, but it's not as big as
Speaker 1: it is. You know, it wasn't big back then, and
Speaker 1: like like it is now. Um, one player could put
Speaker 1: you over the top. And a lot of teams in
Speaker 1: this league are looking for that one player offensive defense
Speaker 1: or whatever to get him over the top. I e.
Speaker 1: Von Miller last year with the Rams. You know, he
Speaker 1: put the Rams over the top. So glad we have
Speaker 1: von Miller now. Anyway, but these guys now that are
Speaker 1: at the end of their careers, they want to go
Speaker 1: to a team where not only can they make a difference,
Speaker 1: but put their team on the right path to win
Speaker 1: a super Bowl. Von did that last year and we're
Speaker 1: hoping he does that with the Bills this year. So, UM,
Speaker 1: I think teams think that way. Whether or not that happens, Um,
Speaker 1: it's here and nor there, but they look for that
Speaker 1: one player that can put him over the top, to
Speaker 1: get him over the hump, to get him to the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and win. And Von has already brought so
Speaker 1: much to this Bills defense this year. But what about
Speaker 1: his former Rams teammate Odell Beckham Jr. Gott to bring
Speaker 1: it back to him? Would you like to see him
Speaker 1: in the Bills uniform? Yeah, of course. I mean I
Speaker 1: said this a couple of months back, and I met
Speaker 1: with Odell and it went viral to Uh, I met
Speaker 1: with O'Dell in in Atlantic City and he's working hard
Speaker 1: to get back on the field, and I think he
Speaker 1: will be with the team. He talked with Von, and
Speaker 1: Von has a good way of and I said this,
Speaker 1: Von has a great way of lur and some of
Speaker 1: his guys to follow him, and uh, we love to
Speaker 1: see you know, O'Dell in in red, white and blue
Speaker 1: and buffalo. But that's yet to be seen. Who knows.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of teams that are vuying for Odell
Speaker 1: Services right now and we'll see how that goes. But
Speaker 1: if Von has anything to do with it, you can
Speaker 1: bring him bringing the Buffalo just you know, some chicken
Speaker 1: wings and some blue cheese and all that kind of
Speaker 1: The fans of Buffalo are out of control. They're crazy.
Speaker 1: Bills Mafia. Maybe Odell will h you know, lean towards
Speaker 1: Buffalo a little bit more than the other teams. Andre.
Speaker 1: I saw that clip you speak about Bills Mafia, right.
Speaker 1: I love Bills Mafia. I saw the clip of you
Speaker 1: going through at the table. Alright here, I am. Let's
Speaker 1: go Bills and bring a championship back to the to
Speaker 1: the city of Buffalo. Bills, Baby, let's do this. That's
Speaker 1: gotta hurt, man, It doesn't hurt now when you when
Speaker 1: you had Steve at Water and Ran and Ronnie Lock
Speaker 1: coming at you full steam with no flags. Going through
Speaker 1: a table is nothing well you brought up to date.
Speaker 1: Steve Atwa was one of my favorite players to watch.
Speaker 1: I would love to talk for a second. I'm sure
Speaker 1: you've been asked this in your career and even post
Speaker 1: career so much so forgive me, but I get the
Speaker 1: chance to talk to you you know, the comeback as
Speaker 1: the game is referenced to right, thirty five to three,
Speaker 1: deaf is it now? Also, I will say Frank Right
Speaker 1: gets a lot of the love, as he should. But
Speaker 1: you had eight catches for a buck thirty six and
Speaker 1: three touchdowns in that game. So we should never overlook
Speaker 1: that fact of the comeback. I'm just always, you know,
Speaker 1: because I respect pro athletes so much within the heat
Speaker 1: of battle, like when you're at the half of that game,
Speaker 1: is there really that feeling of still believing? Even we
Speaker 1: saw it with Brady and the comeback with Atlanta Downe,
Speaker 1: You guys are down thirty five to three to another
Speaker 1: high powered offense. That offense was the only thing close
Speaker 1: to yours. You guys are still believing at that point? Right?
Speaker 1: Of course you first of all, you guys weren't born,
Speaker 1: right I was. I wasn't Were you born? Like? No?
Speaker 1: That was it was so how I was born? I
Speaker 1: was twelve? There my point there. Um, that's a great question, man.
Speaker 1: I think that game that not not only goes down
Speaker 1: the history, is one of the greatest games that ever played.
Speaker 1: It's the way that game I went. You know, we
Speaker 1: didn't we had played Houston the week before to even
Speaker 1: get to that game. So we had to win that
Speaker 1: game just to get to the to the wild card game,
Speaker 1: and we happened to be down in Houston, the old
Speaker 1: the old Astrodome. We played in. Yeah, I'm really aged myself,
Speaker 1: you guys, I just want you to know. And we
Speaker 1: got we got the pretty well down there. Moren moon
Speaker 1: they put it on us. So we ended up having
Speaker 1: to play then the next week in Buffalo, and we
Speaker 1: came out and laid an egg the first half of
Speaker 1: this half of that game, and we were like, oh,
Speaker 1: are we gonna do this in front of our fans,
Speaker 1: And we had to make a conscious effort and the
Speaker 1: decision we got this far, we didn't and I'll go out.
Speaker 1: You know. We didn't want to go out like we did. Uh,
Speaker 1: we don't want to go out losing like we did
Speaker 1: the week before. So we got two fans on our
Speaker 1: side and a couple of plays and before you know it,
Speaker 1: you know we're kicking a field goal to win the game.
Speaker 1: So it's it's just a game of things changing and
Speaker 1: you'll be able to capitalize on the things that are changing.
Speaker 1: Every Yeah, they can give you a bowl of whatever
Speaker 1: you like to eat. If there's not one or two
Speaker 1: ingredients in that bowl whatever you like to eat, you
Speaker 1: you might not eat it. So we ended up having
Speaker 1: that everything going our way with the fans and everything,
Speaker 1: and just so happens that we we capitalize on everything
Speaker 1: they gave us. Oh that's a good story. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: one always stuck out. I think it was a lot harder.
Speaker 1: I feel like it was a lot harder to come back.
Speaker 1: Like now, you see comebacks a lot of the fourth quarters,
Speaker 1: like the witching Hour at Scott Hanson calls it, and
Speaker 1: I think it's almost like a lack of a run
Speaker 1: game that we see now, Like I feel like coming
Speaker 1: back in ninete was just so much harder than mounting
Speaker 1: a comeback now because a lot of teams don't have
Speaker 1: the running game to kill the clock the way the
Speaker 1: teams did back then. That's to me, that's the best
Speaker 1: football come back in my opinion. Well, to me that
Speaker 1: is too And there's been a lot of comebacks, you know,
Speaker 1: the Brady and the Patriots winning and into Super Bowl
Speaker 1: obviously was a bigger game, but you've got two or
Speaker 1: three games like that a year. It may not may
Speaker 1: not be the thirty game, but there's a point in
Speaker 1: the game where that always happens, and there's always teams
Speaker 1: going on. Oh, all you need is one play to
Speaker 1: get the ball rolling and you're you lost the game
Speaker 1: because of whatever reason. So um and offenses are geared
Speaker 1: to do that, to have comebacks like that because of
Speaker 1: spreading guys out, making mismatches all that kind of stuff. Um.
Speaker 1: Back in it was hard to get mismatches. Now you
Speaker 1: film and everything like this, you can you can pinpoint
Speaker 1: it and you can say, all right, we have to
Speaker 1: attack that. And if we can't attack that in the
Speaker 1: way we need to, then we have to go somewhere
Speaker 1: else to attack this to soften that up. So yeah, Andreas,
Speaker 1: we're looking at this current NFL season and how the
Speaker 1: a f C specifically is shaping up. Two of the
Speaker 1: better games on the bill schedule has been the four
Speaker 1: point win over Kansas City and the three point win
Speaker 1: over Baltimore. Who do you feel like, not just those
Speaker 1: two teams, but who do you feel like is the
Speaker 1: biggest threat to the Bills this season in the a a
Speaker 1: f C. Obviously the Chiefs, I mean, the Chiefs aren't
Speaker 1: going on as long as they've got Pat Mahomes back
Speaker 1: there and Travis and a great coach, and Andy Reid
Speaker 1: who's coach in Super Bowls and one one. Um, the
Speaker 1: Chiefs are always gonna be there. Um, the Ravens are
Speaker 1: always going to be that team because of Lamar. You
Speaker 1: just don't know. They have a pretty good deference, but
Speaker 1: Lamar kind of puts them over the top. The Bengals.
Speaker 1: Who knows about the Bengals. The Bengals, you know it
Speaker 1: played well this past weekend. Um scored a lot of points.
Speaker 1: They're they're kind of finding their stride a little bit. Um.
Speaker 1: Everybody thinks the Bengals were a fluke from last year.
Speaker 1: You know where the Bengals should have Bengals even been
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. Last year they beat the Chiefs
Speaker 1: to get to the Super Bowl, So yes, they should
Speaker 1: have been there. But the a f C this year
Speaker 1: is is the Bills in the beginning where the team. Okay,
Speaker 1: the Bills are gonna win it. They're going through the
Speaker 1: super Bowl. They're gonna win it. Back that up, We
Speaker 1: don't we don't know yet. There's a lot of season left. Um,
Speaker 1: they got some tough teams coming up. Um, they got
Speaker 1: the Packers this Sunday. Uh, Sunday night. The Packers need
Speaker 1: to win really bad. And if you heard what Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers said, Oh yeah, we just got the Bills where
Speaker 1: we need them right now. Well you gottam in an
Speaker 1: Orchard Park and you gotta you got a hot team
Speaker 1: right now. But this can make the season for the Packers.
Speaker 1: At three and three, the Packers are looking right now
Speaker 1: of a spark to get there, you know, get the
Speaker 1: ball rolling for them. And it could be a trap
Speaker 1: game for Buffalo coming off a bye week. It's a
Speaker 1: trap game. So the Bill's gotta you know, they have
Speaker 1: to just take care of business. No matter what I
Speaker 1: was gonna say, I was on the sideline for Bills
Speaker 1: Kansas City AFC champion or the playoff game last year
Speaker 1: that was to be one of the best NFL games
Speaker 1: of all time. I think a lot of NFL lums
Speaker 1: would have other words to say about that. About that, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, it's a pretty good playoff game
Speaker 1: that we were talking about earlier. Um, it seems like
Speaker 1: this is such a clear cut path that this is
Speaker 1: our uh, this is going to be the game in
Speaker 1: the playoff again that we're all talking about. And I'm
Speaker 1: just curious if you think, as we're approaching trade deadline,
Speaker 1: if there's any weakness, any vulnerability that the Bills have
Speaker 1: that you think they should try to fill up the
Speaker 1: trade deadline to get ready. Well, maybe another meeting. That's
Speaker 1: a good question to you know, Christian McCaffrey's gone, so
Speaker 1: he's in San Francisco now. So they were the Bills
Speaker 1: were always talking about getting a running back, whether it's
Speaker 1: before the trade dayline, deadline, after in the draft, whatever. Um,
Speaker 1: whether or not, that's the way the team is thinking now,
Speaker 1: you know who knows what they're thinking. Um. I think
Speaker 1: Devin Sang Singletary has done a great job. Um, he's
Speaker 1: he's played played, He played played pretty well last year
Speaker 1: in the playoff game and he kind of stepped it
Speaker 1: up a little bit in the playoffs. He's still that guy.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's had a pretty good year. He's a
Speaker 1: very solid year. If anything would be Zack Moss, then
Speaker 1: you know, trying to get rid of him. I mean,
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook's brother James Cook has played well. So if
Speaker 1: anything that the Bills would go for would be a
Speaker 1: running back, maybe not now but towards the end of
Speaker 1: the season. But they have to do it now. If
Speaker 1: they're gonna do it because of the trade deadline, they'd
Speaker 1: have to do it now, so um. And otherwise they
Speaker 1: they're they're pretty solid. Um when at every position. Um,
Speaker 1: they've been injured in the defensive backfield with with Micah
Speaker 1: Micah Hyde being out, but let's figure they weren't supposed
Speaker 1: to beat Baltimore. They probably weren't supposed to beat Kansas
Speaker 1: City with backups back there. But um, that's that's just
Speaker 1: a lot of credit to uh Tan McDermott in their
Speaker 1: and their staff keeping those guys right. I'm with you
Speaker 1: on the trap game. I'm worried because we found this
Speaker 1: out earlier in the show and we were looking at
Speaker 1: the lines of the first time in Aaron Rodgers career.
Speaker 1: He's a ten point or more underdog in any game
Speaker 1: that ever played in. So right in itself, I just
Speaker 1: implore the Bills if you're listening time time. Yeah, Packers
Speaker 1: in the NFC usually are one of those teams you
Speaker 1: could count on to be there. Obviously they're struggling. The
Speaker 1: Eagles have sort of taken that place on the mantel.
Speaker 1: But when you look at the NFC, and like I said,
Speaker 1: I'm a Giants fan. I'm hyped with the six and one,
Speaker 1: but I'm still very cautious because they're playing over their
Speaker 1: heads a little bit. I don't you know what. I
Speaker 1: don't think they're playing over their heads. I really think
Speaker 1: they needed back to jump start dead team. And you
Speaker 1: can have a great running game and a kind of
Speaker 1: ben but don't break quarterback, you know. I mean they've
Speaker 1: been talking about the quarterback in New York for how
Speaker 1: long since he's been drafted. It has been like we
Speaker 1: have to see something. I mean, who was a quarterback
Speaker 1: before Daniel Jones. Well it was Eli, and then they
Speaker 1: benched Eli for the one Geno Smith game and never
Speaker 1: gave Geno Smith a shot. And now we see what
Speaker 1: Geno Smith was playing some great football in in Seattle
Speaker 1: right now. And they they got a running game that
Speaker 1: kids that a kid had had a great game against
Speaker 1: the Chargers on Sunday. Don't sleep on the Seahawks. They
Speaker 1: got a good coach, the defense is pretty good. I mean,
Speaker 1: you can't Gino is playing. Is he playing over his head?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just think he's been a veteran
Speaker 1: that scene a lot, and he's he knows what he
Speaker 1: brings to a football team. So you know, big, big,
Speaker 1: big shout out to Geno. Man, I'm glad he's playing well. Well,
Speaker 1: you mentioned coaching and I have to thank all the
Speaker 1: Bills for allowing our Giants to talk to Brian Dable
Speaker 1: And now did you have any interactions with Brian Dable
Speaker 1: is like my coach crush. I'm obsessed with that guy.
Speaker 1: He wears Jordan Threes the fiery He's a fiery guy.
Speaker 1: I had a chance to talk to him over the
Speaker 1: years in Buffalo and he'd always just say, yeah, you're like, hey,
Speaker 1: you guys are He had kind of like one word
Speaker 1: answers all the time, and I'm sure here, I'm sure
Speaker 1: he does that with his team and as a head coach,
Speaker 1: he probably doesn't have any answer. It just goes okay um.
Speaker 1: But you know what a great offensive mind and he
Speaker 1: really did a lot for Josh Allen for three years
Speaker 1: there in in Buffalo, and I'm sure that's why the
Speaker 1: Giants hired him as a head coach. That helped this
Speaker 1: quarterback in Daniel Jones and well else they got there.
Speaker 1: So but Tae Kwon there is kind of the he's
Speaker 1: kind of the X factor him being back um is
Speaker 1: a big, big plus for that offense in there in
Speaker 1: New York. He speaking of decision makers in the NFL,
Speaker 1: the GM Brandon Bean in his first year with Buffalo
Speaker 1: and McDermott, they make the playoffs after seventeen years, which
Speaker 1: is the last time you were there. They have the
Speaker 1: seventeen year playoff dro out. Obviously we don't have to
Speaker 1: tell you that. I'm reminding our listeners, But how do
Speaker 1: you explain how hard that is to climb out of that? Like,
Speaker 1: who really deserves the credit? Is it just Brandon Bean?
Speaker 1: Are the people behind the scenes maybe we don't know
Speaker 1: about I think it's everybody. I think it's all the
Speaker 1: way from the top, you know, top to the bottom.
Speaker 1: You know, building a football team isn't just you can't just,
Speaker 1: you know, go to your notebook pad and just start
Speaker 1: writing names down. You gotta you gotta do your research.
Speaker 1: And it seems like a lot of head coach you
Speaker 1: used to be offensive coordinators, they used to be defensive coordinators,
Speaker 1: so they have the mindset. And then some coaches were
Speaker 1: coordinators that aren't really don't turn out to be good
Speaker 1: head coaches. And why is that? You don't know? You
Speaker 1: do know, but you don't a lot of these guys
Speaker 1: become head coaches and they just kind of there's a
Speaker 1: lot going on. You know. As as a head coach,
Speaker 1: you have to be even more in tune to what
Speaker 1: the organization is about. But that's really what the thing
Speaker 1: is about it. Then hiring a head coach, you gotta
Speaker 1: hire the right guy that that really is good with
Speaker 1: the players, knows what he's doing, knows how to interact
Speaker 1: with his offensive coordinator, his defensive coordinator, special teams guy
Speaker 1: that's a complete football team. When a guy can do that,
Speaker 1: the head coach can do that. So you're in Canton.
Speaker 1: As we've seen lately too, it's not easy for wide
Speaker 1: receivers to get in. But I always want to ask
Speaker 1: someone who has the Hall of Fame jackets, you'll ever
Speaker 1: bust that thing out right? Like, do you ever like
Speaker 1: you want to throw this on? What do you ever
Speaker 1: wear that? I'm I'd be lying to you if I
Speaker 1: told you I did. No, you know what I don't.
Speaker 1: I mean Ottawa right now, I'm actually So we do
Speaker 1: things together sometimes and sometimes the people that we do
Speaker 1: things for and do speeches and all that, and a
Speaker 1: lot of things you know, my my foundation, we do
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff with Boys and Girls Club. That's
Speaker 1: my that's my foundation really, that's what we do with
Speaker 1: Boys and Girls Club kids. And I talked to different
Speaker 1: people and if they want me to wear the jacket,
Speaker 1: I wear it. I haven't pulled up to a tea
Speaker 1: box yet and got ready to tee off and had
Speaker 1: my jacket on and asked whoever I was playing with
Speaker 1: the hold my jacket for me before tef haven't done
Speaker 1: that yet, but I might do it. You should. Honestly.
Speaker 1: I play a lot of golf, I play in a
Speaker 1: lot of those charity but I feel like I've seen
Speaker 1: you either at like the Wallberg or the Jalen Rose
Speaker 1: that I would have totally held your Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: jacket like very bag. I said I was gonna do that.
Speaker 1: I haven't done it yet, but I have done it
Speaker 1: and been the different speeches that I've given and they
Speaker 1: have asked me to wear my jacket and I have
Speaker 1: done that. So it's a pretty good centerpiece, a pretty
Speaker 1: good conversational piece. When you're with Bruce Smith, Thurman Thomas,
Speaker 1: you know, is it is? Do you ever talk about
Speaker 1: when you guys are playing or is it all just
Speaker 1: like how's your family or do you tell like just
Speaker 1: three friends get together and you know, seeing each other
Speaker 1: and just a good question. It's great to see those
Speaker 1: guys because you know, I live on the West coast.
Speaker 1: Thurman lives in Buffalo. Bruce brustles and Virginia, so I
Speaker 1: don't get to see those guys as much as I
Speaker 1: used to. So we laugh and we we joke and
Speaker 1: it's like we're in the locker room again, because that's
Speaker 1: a big you know, that's the best time. The camaraderie.
Speaker 1: There was something I missed I always will miss. But
Speaker 1: it's good. Dude. We talk about a family, how your
Speaker 1: kids doing. I mean I saw their kids grow up.
Speaker 1: They saw my kids grow up. So that's really what
Speaker 1: we're all about, you know, family and knowing how each
Speaker 1: other is doing and how's our health and all that.
Speaker 1: So it's, uh, it's great to see them. And we
Speaker 1: talked about the team. Now you know, I was at
Speaker 1: two games. I was at the Tennessee game, was at
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh game. I was in l A for the opener.
Speaker 1: So obviously we are very very intune of what's going
Speaker 1: on with this team. And Bruce has been up in
Speaker 1: Buffalo and has talked to Brand Brandon has talked to
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott. So anytime I try to get to when
Speaker 1: I'm in Buffalo, I try to see the head coach
Speaker 1: and you know, see some of the players. So it's
Speaker 1: it's a fun times. I imagine guys who played in
Speaker 1: your time watched the wide receiver market this summer with
Speaker 1: wide eyes d Hunte Adams setting that all on fire
Speaker 1: record deals Tyreek Kill followed soon after. What do you
Speaker 1: guys think when you see what these guys are getting? Now?
Speaker 1: You know what, man, you know what it it is.
Speaker 1: Money comes and goes. But I think what we had championships,
Speaker 1: we have a I have a Hall of Fame jacket.
Speaker 1: I would trade that money money for money. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's all good and well, but I just think that
Speaker 1: that comes and goes. And I would just because there's
Speaker 1: a lot of guys that play in this league ten
Speaker 1: years and don't get to a playoff game. That's just
Speaker 1: the fact. And then there's a lot I played in
Speaker 1: twenty two playoff games, so I played a season and
Speaker 1: a half of playoff games almost and some of these
Speaker 1: guys just want to get to Super Bowl and want
Speaker 1: to see what that feels like. I want to see
Speaker 1: what they want to feel like. What is the playoff game? Like?
Speaker 1: There's some guys that played ten years played in one
Speaker 1: playoff game. So that's what you played the game for.
Speaker 1: You know, if you're playing the game for money and
Speaker 1: that's your main focus, um that that's really that's part
Speaker 1: of it. But when you get with the guys, you
Speaker 1: don't talk, you know, you don't talk with some of
Speaker 1: the guys about hey man, let me see your check,
Speaker 1: Let me see your check. You can talk about, hey,
Speaker 1: who were we playing this week? And how are we
Speaker 1: gonna win this game? That's it. Well, I gotta tell
Speaker 1: you nothing but respect as a Giants fan when I
Speaker 1: was a kid, that I always look at it like that.
Speaker 1: I feel like this is the best complement I can
Speaker 1: give you. The guys I was most afraid of what
Speaker 1: when they were coming to town to play? Were you?
Speaker 1: Randy Moss and Chris Carter? Those are the three names
Speaker 1: if you were asked me at like fifteen years old old,
Speaker 1: what receivers? What receivers scare you the most? As a fan,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't want andre reading the game. I
Speaker 1: don't want Chris Carter and I don't want Randy. Those
Speaker 1: are three I don't want them in the game. They terrified.
Speaker 1: I knew, I saw you. I knew I saw you
Speaker 1: in the stands and you were you were Yeah, you
Speaker 1: were terrified. But we we can't thank you enough, appreciate,
Speaker 1: thank you enough for coming on. Have a great time. Well,
Speaker 1: I finally got the I got it right. And sometimes
Speaker 1: it's been better late than never. You never know, but
Speaker 1: it's always good good. Thanks for having me, and it's
Speaker 1: always good to talk with you guys. And hopefully next time,
Speaker 1: you know I have all this internet stuff. Well we're hoping,
Speaker 1: since you know we're expecting the deep run by the Bills,
Speaker 1: maybe you'd come back on around playoff time. I'm already
Speaker 1: in Thank you, Jack. If you ever see me on
Speaker 1: the driving range, hand me whatever you want, I'll walk
Speaker 1: around with it on a hanger. I'll make sure it's
Speaker 1: I will dry clean it whatever you need. That would
Speaker 1: be a thrill. I got you, I got you. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well you know what our our little thing we're doing tonight.
Speaker 1: I could have swore these we're up here in Ottawa,
Speaker 1: that they would ask us to bring our jackets, but
Speaker 1: they didn't, so uh yeah, but I got my ring,
Speaker 1: I got my Hall of Fame. So we can't thank
Speaker 1: you enough. Thank you, and uh yeah, go bills for
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. Be fun. It'll be fun.
Speaker 1: Thank you, man, I appreciate it. Yeah. So, Jerry, where
Speaker 1: I'm at right now and entourage is it's getting really good.
Speaker 1: Median is about to come out, and I think you
Speaker 1: guys are going to can and all that, and so
Speaker 1: I don't know if you actually make it to the
Speaker 1: cann Film Festival. I really hope you do so that
Speaker 1: I can ask you about that trip. But I put
Speaker 1: this on my Instagram story. I have texted you about it.
Speaker 1: This was as excited of a celebrity guest as I've
Speaker 1: seen on the show. Lisa Arenna. You know, I'm a
Speaker 1: big Housewives fan. I love Real Housewives and Lisa Wrenna
Speaker 1: obviously on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She's currently in
Speaker 1: a lot of hot water. I will tell you that
Speaker 1: as well, But you've got to tell me what she
Speaker 1: was like on set and her character, which is so funny.
Speaker 1: And then the plot twist that you end up hooking
Speaker 1: up with Lisa Arena so a couple of things with that.
Speaker 1: You know, you know, you get that script before those
Speaker 1: parts are cast, right, so you're reading this stuff, you
Speaker 1: have no idea who these two women are going to
Speaker 1: be in the episode, and then you hear it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's Lisa Arenna and it's Colleen Camp who was one
Speaker 1: of my favorite actors. She's one of my favorite all
Speaker 1: time movies. She was in the movie Clue back in
Speaker 1: the day. She goes back to like apocalypse now, like unbelievable.
Speaker 1: So then you you hear it's them, and it's like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: I don't want to be you know, in the episode.
Speaker 1: My character is like being a little bit of a
Speaker 1: ball breaker. I'm like, I don't want to be like
Speaker 1: mean to them. And then they come out that first scene,
Speaker 1: I think Lisa Arenna yells out like get out here,
Speaker 1: you what, like curses out Colleen character. Yeah, it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: they came to play. I don't even think that was
Speaker 1: in the script, so it was. It was just hilarious.
Speaker 1: It was one of those episodes where you read it
Speaker 1: and you're like, anyone's gonna find this funny because we
Speaker 1: think it's funny, And yeah, that's one that that's an
Speaker 1: episode that goes along Lisa Arenna Colline Camp. They were great,
Speaker 1: they were hilarious, happy to be there, totally in on
Speaker 1: the joke and yeah, big plot twist uh in a
Speaker 1: very small jacuzy at the end. If you really looked
Speaker 1: at Jacuz, it's like really really tiny for no reason
Speaker 1: at all. Yes, I guess that's if you think about
Speaker 1: if you keep track of the women that Turtles slept with,
Speaker 1: I think Lisa is like the first one you actually
Speaker 1: confirmed that you might have slept with. Well, what about
Speaker 1: the prostitute horehouse episode? Oh well you got me there,
Speaker 1: you got me there? Okay, you got me there. It's
Speaker 1: fresh in your mind. The thing the things that come
Speaker 1: out of my mouth on this podcast. Now that the
Speaker 1: entrege section is a part of the show, what do
Speaker 1: I have to look forward coming up? Like what what
Speaker 1: other like big guests come on the show? You know,
Speaker 1: Okay you mentioned can and do we get there or not?
Speaker 1: All I'm gonna tell you. I'm gonna tell you a cameo.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna tell you what happens and talk about
Speaker 1: someone in hot water. You're approaching the Kanye West episode. Wow,
Speaker 1: Kanye makes a guest, appears is a long time agoes.
Speaker 1: It's back in two thousand seven, fresh off his song
Speaker 1: The Good Life was about to come out. So that
Speaker 1: song is heavily it kind of got released on Entourage.
Speaker 1: You're coming up on that episode, the Kanye episode. Oh geez,
Speaker 1: so this was like he's not talked about very much
Speaker 1: like Pink Polo Kanye exactly, exactly. Yeah, So you're coming
Speaker 1: up on that and the I have some fun stuff
Speaker 1: about the can stuff when you get there. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and assume that you guys make it.
Speaker 1: Um No, I'm pretty good right now. You keep telling
Speaker 1: me that there may be a drop off, and I'm
Speaker 1: not sensing any of that yet. I'm not saying like
Speaker 1: drop off like oh my god, the show is so bad.
Speaker 1: It's just like I just think that when you get
Speaker 1: to a certain point, you know, with these characters, you know,
Speaker 1: we did a hundred episodes almost you do. I want
Speaker 1: to see you run out of stuff to do. But
Speaker 1: you see the Vince path, right, it's like kind of
Speaker 1: knock them down, you build them up, you know, like
Speaker 1: how many times can you do that? So when you
Speaker 1: get there, I'm here for it, but I do think
Speaker 1: it takes a turn. I don't want to say for
Speaker 1: the worst, but just like you know, you feel it, like, man,
Speaker 1: we've done a lot with these guys. Yeah, by the way,
Speaker 1: Lisa Arena, I gotta give that lady props. I mean
Speaker 1: what that was? Oh seven, And she was supposed to
Speaker 1: be kind of an old cougar and right now she's
Speaker 1: still like top of her game. And man, that body
Speaker 1: is no joke. Whatever she's doing is looking good. It
Speaker 1: looks like she's like running the sand dunes like Russell
Speaker 1: Westbrook in the offseason. Oh my god. Well we'll get
Speaker 1: to more next week. All right, it's time for one
Speaker 1: of my favorite parts of the show. We gotta get
Speaker 1: some Week eight wagering in, and of course not doing
Speaker 1: that alone. We're joined by bet MGM betting analyst, our
Speaker 1: odds on favorite, Peter Andrew. How you do with Peter,
Speaker 1: I'm doing good. I completely understand you're gonna be torn
Speaker 1: a little this week. So we're gonna work around that
Speaker 1: Giant Seahawks game because I know that's gonna be a
Speaker 1: struggle for you on some day. Yeah, it's like it's
Speaker 1: it's like it's it's when Zack and Slater we're fighting
Speaker 1: over Kelly. It's like someone's gotta lose this. I can't
Speaker 1: handle it. Pete, not a bad week last week. You're
Speaker 1: barely missing on these these single game parlays. Man, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: You have the cards money line yet. Kamara anytime t D,
Speaker 1: Kamara twenty receiving yards, Hopkins anytime t D. But anyway,
Speaker 1: I think you only lost four units or two units
Speaker 1: something like that. You had the Titans on the wind,
Speaker 1: that was great. Yeah, I lost two units because of
Speaker 1: someone's Green Bay Packers not able to squeak it out
Speaker 1: against the Commanders. It's not my fault at this point.
Speaker 1: It's not Olivia. It's definitely not your fault. We can
Speaker 1: attest to that. I'm curious to see what you have
Speaker 1: this week. This is a tough board this week. It's
Speaker 1: an interesting board. There's a lot out there. So where
Speaker 1: is Peter Andrew's mind at going into week eight? Yeah,
Speaker 1: So we'll we'll start on Sunday here just for a second,
Speaker 1: because I've done enough betting on the Packers. I think
Speaker 1: it's time toime to start fading the Packers. So we'll
Speaker 1: start there. You know, we did pretty well with the
Speaker 1: teaser up until that point with the pack losing. I
Speaker 1: had him plus one end of the Blues and by two,
Speaker 1: which was unfortunate because at least if we would have
Speaker 1: the one point, it would avoid it the leg out.
Speaker 1: But we're gonna do another teaser this week. We're gonna
Speaker 1: go against Packers, so I've teased down Buffalo to minus
Speaker 1: four and a half to start it off. Eagles playing
Speaker 1: against the Steelers. The Steelers are another one of those
Speaker 1: teams that just all over the place quarterback obviously, situation
Speaker 1: between Mitch and pick It, so teasing the Eagles down
Speaker 1: to four and a half as well. So those are
Speaker 1: two very well rested teams coming off buys, so UM
Speaker 1: like both of them to win, probably win by that
Speaker 1: ten point month, but we'll be careful there. And then
Speaker 1: Jets plus seven and a half against New England. Jets
Speaker 1: obviously have a very unfortunate injury with the breast all
Speaker 1: out for the year, which was terrible, but I think
Speaker 1: they can fill the void. I think you have Michael
Speaker 1: Carter who's kind of going to be that checkdown running
Speaker 1: back for them out of the backfield. He showed it
Speaker 1: last week, had two catches I think for forty five yards,
Speaker 1: so you can kind of do what Breece has been doing.
Speaker 1: And then you bring in James Robinson first nothing, I
Speaker 1: think six that could become a fifth. You just gotta
Speaker 1: get him in that in that playbook. He's got a
Speaker 1: couple more days than maybe McCaffrey did last week. But
Speaker 1: I think they'll be okay. And speaking of quarterback controversies,
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that just aren't living up to the bill. Matt Jones,
Speaker 1: I know, still a little bit hurt, but him and
Speaker 1: Zappy both looked horrendous. That was weird. That was weird.
Speaker 1: That whole situation was weird and bizarre. Look like Bill
Speaker 1: Belichick was trying to summon the ghosts of picking Tom
Speaker 1: Brady over Drew bread Bled. So it's like, man, I
Speaker 1: don't know that that was a whole That was a
Speaker 1: weird game. And I don't want to take too much
Speaker 1: credit away from the Bears, but the patch just look
Speaker 1: really all over the place. So those three, so again
Speaker 1: it's Jets plus seven and a half, Eagles minus four
Speaker 1: and a half, Bills minus four and a half. That's
Speaker 1: plus one forty So I have five units there, so
Speaker 1: fifty to win seventy two and change, plus you're fifty
Speaker 1: steak um, So that can put us in a really
Speaker 1: nice position for next week on top of that home
Speaker 1: game for the Jags in London. So Jags minus three
Speaker 1: against another peculiar team in the Denver Broncos. A coument
Speaker 1: score touchdown last week. That's a very nice word. There's
Speaker 1: a few other words that This is a PG thirteen
Speaker 1: is podcast, right, so we'll keep it at that sum Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I don't know who the better option is at
Speaker 1: quarterback right now for the Broncos. Could be Ripping, could
Speaker 1: be Ross. They both look terrible, but you know, Jack's
Speaker 1: had a bit of a tough fourth quarter against the Giants,
Speaker 1: but they still are somewhat of a formidable team and
Speaker 1: they are competing. And I think, actually in a weird way,
Speaker 1: that James Robinson trade really helps Travis Aten, who's averaging
Speaker 1: something like six seven yards to carry. So given him
Speaker 1: RB one, no questions asked. He's great out of the backfield.
Speaker 1: I think he's got something like almost seven all purpose
Speaker 1: yards so far in the season. Get him as many
Speaker 1: touches as you can. It'll help obviously Trevor Lawrence, so
Speaker 1: minus three have them for four units at minus one
Speaker 1: ten um. So I really like them going into into
Speaker 1: London again. It's it's become a home game for them.
Speaker 1: This is I think they're time plane in London, which
Speaker 1: is crazy, and a Denver team who's coming across the
Speaker 1: entire West coast into East coast, then into another time zone.
Speaker 1: I think they could be all over the place. So
Speaker 1: it's dangerous, dangerous. Nothing's more dangerous than keep an air
Speaker 1: in those those subway sandwich commercials. This is crazy. They
Speaker 1: talk about like blowing it up in Denver. You're like,
Speaker 1: you hear like Judy's on the market, hammlers on them,
Speaker 1: like you guys just traded and paid someone like four
Speaker 1: billion dollars, You're gonna blow it up. I do like
Speaker 1: the like I do like that. But man, the in Olivia,
Speaker 1: you're there in London. I'm sorry that they're sending me
Speaker 1: in a game. Yeah. And I have a friend who
Speaker 1: works for the Broncos and we talked about it. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm good. Yeah, I think you should be good.
Speaker 1: That's like, go get brunch or samething. I would do
Speaker 1: any Sunday roast. Yeah, Sunday roast go, you know, put
Speaker 1: the game on in the background, you go to Winston
Speaker 1: Churchill's war room or something and I'm not watch Yeah,
Speaker 1: well yeah, but the great thing just about a London
Speaker 1: game is just the time. I just love having a
Speaker 1: football game on in the middle of the day instead
Speaker 1: of staying up so late to watch them. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's not one to write home about. It's one
Speaker 1: of those days where you watch English Premier League football
Speaker 1: instead of the NFL. That's fun. That is fun. O.
Speaker 1: We're here. By the way you speak of that, if
Speaker 1: the NFL had relegation, this would definitely be a relegation game.
Speaker 1: If this would have heavy relegation implications, I feel like
Speaker 1: I think this is the one situation where you say, Okay,
Speaker 1: England got this right, there should be some relegation. Get
Speaker 1: damn into the NFL, get the Broncos down into NC
Speaker 1: double A football. I would be totally here for that.
Speaker 1: Do you have what do you have a one game
Speaker 1: parlay for us? Because you know how you are knocking
Speaker 1: on the door, so we're gonna you have taken a
Speaker 1: step We're taking a step back this week because we're
Speaker 1: so damn close to this, so I'm gonna try to
Speaker 1: put an easy one here, and let's get us back
Speaker 1: to winning a couple of units, and then we'll get
Speaker 1: a little crazy next week. So very easy. You have
Speaker 1: an interesting game this week. Ravens at Bucks. Bucks are favorite,
Speaker 1: and I believe right now wh're's somewhere around at one
Speaker 1: point one and a half point spread. That line is
Speaker 1: very very shady to me because of a similar to
Speaker 1: the Packers, a Bucks team that just frankly does not
Speaker 1: look good. We're gonna keep spread and points kind of
Speaker 1: out of the equation here. I'm just gonna go player props.
Speaker 1: So four things. We got this for one unit plus
Speaker 1: three sixty So a ten dollar bet, when's your thirty
Speaker 1: six bucks doll bet? Sixty bucks? So on and so forth.
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews fifty plus receiving yards. He is the target
Speaker 1: for Lamar Jackson. I think that's an easy one to hit.
Speaker 1: Um Lamar Jackson two passing t ds. They are somewhere
Speaker 1: around top six or seven in receiving efficiency, so I
Speaker 1: think they should farewell against the weird Bucks team that
Speaker 1: gave up three touchdowns to a Panther's team that has
Speaker 1: no business being in that game. Uh, Lamar over forty
Speaker 1: one and a half rushing yards. He's just scrambled enough, right,
Speaker 1: I think you're just banking on a decent yard run
Speaker 1: to get him over that chunk. And then Mike Evans
Speaker 1: over fifty four and a half receiving yards. He is
Speaker 1: obviously the target. He should have had that plus some
Speaker 1: with that drop catch in for in the first quarter
Speaker 1: against Anther's last week. Um, So they're gonna keep going
Speaker 1: to him. He's just gotta make sure it comes down
Speaker 1: with those balls. Um, but plus three sixty. Like I said,
Speaker 1: we're trying to take a step back here, win an
Speaker 1: easy one and then hopefully next week we get some
Speaker 1: some craziness. Hey, earlier you said that my packers were
Speaker 1: giving you a hard time. Obviously that was true. And
Speaker 1: earlier in the show, Jerry, we said if we found
Speaker 1: out the answer if Aaron Rodgers had ever been a
Speaker 1: double digit underdog in his career, we would bring it
Speaker 1: up in the Peter Andrew segment. Well, I found out
Speaker 1: the answer. He has never been a double digit underdog
Speaker 1: in his career. The closest he's ever gotten, which is
Speaker 1: I think ten and a half he said, eleven and
Speaker 1: a half earlier, it might have gone down a bit.
Speaker 1: I bet MGM. He was an eight and a half
Speaker 1: point underdog at Seattle in that's as close as it's
Speaker 1: ever gotten. He started two thirteen regular season games, and
Speaker 1: this is the first time in all of that time
Speaker 1: double digit underdog. So I just had to finish with
Speaker 1: that because I said at the end of the show,
Speaker 1: if we had an answer, we would bring it to
Speaker 1: the people. Do you know what that makes me think?
Speaker 1: Peter and in Olivia, I think if if we know
Speaker 1: any see, look, John Ewing has great stuff on Twitter. Peter,
Speaker 1: you bet a little bit like me, but you're much
Speaker 1: smarter with the numbers of it. But I I'm a writer,
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm an actor. I like storylines. What better
Speaker 1: storyline would it be? Aaron Rodgers ten and a half
Speaker 1: point on the dog and he goes into Buffalo and
Speaker 1: wins the game. Out Right, that's how crazy the NFL
Speaker 1: has been. That's like a real thing that no one's
Speaker 1: gonna bet on. And if anything is if the Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers have taught us anything, it's that that could
Speaker 1: absolutely happen, And that storyline wise, is probably what will happen,
Speaker 1: because it will only confuse everybody that much more than
Speaker 1: the Chiefs will become their favorites again in the a
Speaker 1: f C. Do you think that players look at this
Speaker 1: in any sport and take it personally? Did they see
Speaker 1: ten point dog and say what the hell and get
Speaker 1: more pissed off that Rogers needs more ammunition to be
Speaker 1: angry right now? But I feel like he's going to
Speaker 1: look at that and say this is bullshit. I think
Speaker 1: it's definitely motivation. I mean, I look, what am I
Speaker 1: What do I know about playing on a professional level? Uh?
Speaker 1: I just know when you look at and when it's
Speaker 1: like confirmed publicly, you guys are supposed to lose this
Speaker 1: game confirmed, everyone believes that. Yeah, I think that's a
Speaker 1: little like, well, who gives you we're supposed to lose anyway,
Speaker 1: Let's just let it fly, let's go have fun. I
Speaker 1: mean yeah, I mean plus three seventy five. I don't know,
Speaker 1: they're the Packers are going in the money line. Partlay
Speaker 1: for me. I can just tell you that right now.
Speaker 1: It might only be for a dollar, but they're going
Speaker 1: in a money line. I won't do much more than
Speaker 1: it's happening, all right, Well, thanks for everything, Peter, Andrew.
