Well, 75 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 1: You've had so many years of shows that I've listened to, 76 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: and the running commentary has always been about the sandwiches 77 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 1: that come up regularly, and I felt that I wanted 78 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: to give something back, so I offered a sandwich a 79 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: week for the heroes and of course rushmore Worthy producers. 80 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: I assume Sydney's behind the glass there, so it's included 81 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: in that city and irishman, the irishman here, well, Irish fantastic. 82 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: Not no one's put them on rushmore yet. So at 83 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 1: this point, Sydney, yes, wait a one sandwich to split 84 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: between the four or five of us, or we each 85 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: get one, I thought you, Oh yeah, I hope. So 86 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: I just want to be clear, alright. So the offer 87 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 1: from Mr Flame is a round of sandwiches um in 88 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: exchange for there's more. Oh, there's more. Yes, we are 89 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: also even though they were going to sponsor us, we 90 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: are still not beholden to anyone. Oh that's very important. 91 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: That's an important part of this offer, all right. So 92 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: that's a critical independence. You know. The advertising can't subsume 93 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: the creativity of the of the geniuses heroes. So I 94 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: like the vision of us man. Yeah, and then the 95 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: According to Mr Flames right up, negotiations can commence a 96 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: SAP as long as Dan Hansis does not help with 97 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: the exchange rate talks on sandwich values. Since he once 98 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: earned a thirty eight on a state mandated mathist, I'd 99 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 1: like to correct you, Mr Flame. It was a thirty nine. 100 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 1: I felt a running bit should be the changing of 101 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,559 Speaker 1: that number given a number of years. That's been earned 102 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 1: that that's fair. That's fair, all right? So Mr Flame, 103 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: the offers out there a round of sandwiches, and all 104 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: we need is one round. Uh. We are not beholden 105 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: to anyone still, and I can't have anything to do 106 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: with the exchange rate. I don't really know what that means, 107 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,799 Speaker 1: but I'm I will step aside from any math related equations. 108 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: H Mark, what do we think about this? I think 109 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: it's number one. You know, we we work for a 110 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: company that is not, uh not light in the pockets. 111 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: They got a lot of cash to throw around. They're 112 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,799 Speaker 1: constantly making cash, and we are the number one earner 113 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: if they had a sponsor, the number one grossing, the 114 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: biggest podcast in NFL, and the league just says, I 115 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: couldn't care less. So you know who's coming in, Mr 116 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: Flame from the Hague, the Netherlands. He's saying, enough with 117 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: the nonsense, me and my economics class, We're gonna light 118 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: this thing on fire.

I I like that we had 121 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 1: to reach to a deep part of another part of 122 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: the world to find someone that said yes you should 123 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 1: be sponsored. Thank you. My only concern is the Hague 124 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: is known, it's actually called the International City of Peace 125 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: and Justice, and it's known, you know, for its international courts, 126 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: and I just wonder, like, do you have any power 127 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: to put us into international courts or international crime if 128 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: you're not happy with the podcast? And how the sponsors? 129 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: Good question, that's a fair question. Yeah, I think that's 130 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: a realistic question from the boss. Uh. You know, I'd 131 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: say the u c I c J probably has a 132 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: lot of things on its mind and on its plate, 133 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: and maybe we could keep the podcast off their docket. 134 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: They're probably quite busy. They're not aware of some of 135 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: Mark Sessler's outside interests when the podcast isn't well. And 136 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: by the way, the league also will not send us 137 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: to London, but maybe the League will send us to 138 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: the Hague, onto the Hague, onto the everybody do the Hague. 139 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: We think, isn't your boss, older Henry Hodson over in London. 140 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: He's constantly Yeah, he's always flying around.

Yes, 170 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: Monday Night football at the Superdome on the ten year 171 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: anniversary or close to it. It It was actually Sunday of 172 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: Steve Gleason's historic iconic blocked punt that uh you know, 173 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: came to signify the spirit of New Orleans after Hurricane 174 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: Katrina and changed the franchise. Really three years later they 175 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: were champions. By the way, is the first game in 176 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 1: the Superdome with Drew Brees and Sean Payton. I mean 177 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: that's there, you go. I mean a change, a change 178 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: that changed the city. And now ten years later, there 179 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 1: again playing the Falcons on Monday Night football. No magic 180 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: here in store though for the Saints this time around, 181 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: who could not get a stop on defense to save 182 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: their lives. I think what was it five or six 183 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: touchdown drives in a row by the by by the 184 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons in this game, a game that the Saints 185 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: kind of hung around uh in until the third quarter, 186 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: uh or early in the fourth quarter, when Drew Brees 187 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,559 Speaker 1: dropped back and got picked off his first picking over 188 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: three past attempts, a pick six run back for a 189 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: score that clinched the game. Final score forty thirty two. 190 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: Uh the Falcons over the Saints. The Falcons now a 191 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 1: surprise two and one and the Saints buried buried Greg 192 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 1: Rosenthal at two. And I think, Greg, this was your 193 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: lock of the week, no terrible memory, but I did 194 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: lose my lock of the week. Should it surprise me though, 195 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: that you anytime you don't get excited about the Saints, 196 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: because you must be dying right now. Saints oh and 197 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: three not not compared to Saints fans because they've seen this, 198 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 1: you know, hardcore Saints fans. You know, I'm just kind 199 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: of a deletante here. Did I root for them and whatnot? 200 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: But I don't know. They were a terrible defense that 201 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: needed to play good team defense this year just to 202 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: approach mediocrity. And they're missing seven starters from their defense. 203 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: So you take what's a bad defense and you make 204 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: it worse. And it reminds me of what we talked about. 205 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: They gave Sean Payton this extension. What what if they 206 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: do have another season like the last couple that they have. 207 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: What if they go off to another oh and three 208 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: start for the third straight year and this guy signed through. 209 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: It just feels like more of the same, the same 210 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 1: problems year after year. For me to take away from 211 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: this game, and you want, you want to find out 212 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: what an offense can can be, Go play, Go play 213 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: the Saints if you're not the New York Giants in 214 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: Week two, because what we saw from the Falcons was 215 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: and yes it's not great for Julio Jones fantasy owners, 216 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 1: but this year's Falcons versus Matt Ryan throwing the ball 217 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: up to Julio Jones eighteen nineteen twenty times a game, 218 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: it's your only way to score points, spreading the ball 219 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 1: all over the field. You mentioned the last night, Chris 220 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: their backfield, DeVonta Freeman, Tevin Coleman of fascinating duo s 221 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: new looks awesome so far. To me, I think he's 222 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: a perfect compliment and an upgrade from Royanhite. Well he's 223 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: been dealing with injuries, but I mean he's He's an 224 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: asset to that team and they can do a lot 225 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: of different things. There's a reason that Matt Ryan's numbers 226 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: and absolute kind of composure looks better this season. Let's 227 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: get Matt Ryan a lot of credit. He had a 228 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: down year last year, and I don't think there was 229 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: any real hype around him. A lot of talking, including 230 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: in this room, that maybe he was what he was 231 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: at this point, and I thought he he looked excellent 232 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: in this game. And yes, granted, this was a terrible 233 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: showing by the Saints defense. In fact, I want to 234 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: point out one point in this game, third and nine 235 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: at midfield. Uh. The score at this point is thirty 236 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: five seventeen. The Saints have a chance to get off 237 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: the field, and what happens. Matt Ryan UH does a 238 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,599 Speaker 1: little UH play action and Davante Freeman sneaks out of 239 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: the backfield uncovered, catches the ball and rumbles about forty 240 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: yards down into the inside the ten yard line. And 241 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: then on two plays later, Tevin Coleman bounces outside on 242 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,719 Speaker 1: a run and there's literally no one on the left 243 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 1: side of the field. It was some of the worst 244 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: defense I've ever seen that you almost want them to 245 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: fire Rob Ryan again. I'm with you, Dan, and I 246 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: know a lot of people like football games today where 247 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: the whole emphasis is, you know, high octa and scoring 248 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: on both sides. This is the I'm I'm in the minority. 249 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: I'm sure this is not the kind of football game. 250 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: You were annoyed, you were cheesed off watching this game. Well, 251 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: this is exactly what we said the Saints were going 252 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: to be and they were. Well, this is I'm sure 253 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: the because you're very angry talking about this game. Mark 254 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: anything to do with the the debates, the presidential debates 255 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: at the same time, going back and forth. At didn't 256 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: watch those till after I separate my profession from you know, 257 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: after there's a lot of fire, a lot of rage 258 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: on text as well. Well, I was annoyed about this 259 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: game on Thursday. And there's a reason I find the 260 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: Saints to be a construction of Hey, we've got Drew 261 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: Brees put us on national television a bunch of times, 262 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: but you have an incomplete team. Okay, they're all three, 263 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: they're done. What about the Falcons? Are they better than 264 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: we thought? That just said I think their offenses has 265 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: a lot of opportunities this season. Part of it's their schedule. 266 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: They played a really easy schedule and they're about to 267 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: play I believe the Broncos, Seahawks, and another in Carolina 268 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: in the next three weeks, so they're going to be tested. 269 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: But this Matt Ryan think the idea that he was 270 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: now mediocre quarterback. I never bought that. You can't extract 271 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: the quarterback play from his teammates. They had Julio Jones 272 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: and no win else last year. And now you've got, 273 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: I think, a backfield that is in the running for 274 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: the best complimentary backfield in the NFL the way Kyle 275 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: Shannon is using Tavonta Freeman and Tevin Campbell, and you've 276 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: got speed up wide receiver. Now Mohamed Sanoo has been injured, 277 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: but you can throw in al Aldrick Robinson who runs 278 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: a four three forty Taylor Gabriel used to be with 279 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: the Browns, and throw those guys in for fifteen to 280 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: twenty plays a game. Kyle Shannon's getting production out of these. 281 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: We We've talked about on our a YouTube hit which 282 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: you guys can check out or on NFL dot com 283 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: about that Josh McDaniel sweepstakes. Kyle Shanahan, to me is 284 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: another guy who could be a head coaching candidate because 285 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: dan Quinn hasn't improved this defense at all. It's probably 286 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: worse than when when Mike smith uh left. The defense 287 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: is bad three straight weeks. The offense. Yes, they're playing 288 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: the Raiders and the Saints. They scored what was it, 289 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: how many straight touchdowns? You don't see that in the 290 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: NFI Against the Raiders. They scored six out of seven 291 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: drives at one point, including three touchdown drives in a 292 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: row that were two minutes and forty five seconds and under. 293 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: So you can say, okay, they're playing a bad defense. Well, 294 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: the Giant score didn't score a touchdown against the Saints. 295 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: The Titans scored ten points against the Raiders, so you 296 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: have to give the Falcons some credit. They have one 297 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: of the most explosive offenses right now until proven otherwise. 298 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: And I want to say DeVante Freeman looked incredible in 299 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: this game. And our old friend Jari's bird right now, 300 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's been healthy in three plus years, 301 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: and at a certain point you gotta take him out 302 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: of the line up because he was he looked like 303 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: lost a couple of plays to the point where he's 304 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: falling on his ass. He had a couple of good 305 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: games to start the year. But this is a team 306 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: who is has an undrafted rookie Ken Crawley who is 307 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: gonna be what fifth on their depth chart as their 308 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: number one cornerback because they lost four players out of 309 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: their secondary. It's like they don't have a choice. They 310 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: can't blitz because they can't cover. They can't do anything special. 311 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just the most talent poor defense in 312 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: the NFL. I think the Saints are going to come 313 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: up a little later in the show, but let's move 314 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: on the team great right to shine up. It's a 315 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: very special higher. I like when they dig into the 316 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: rich second verse of that song. We don't always hear 317 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 1: that there's actually a bohemian rapsody version of the song. 318 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 1: It's like nine minutes long. That gets into the back 319 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: stories of all our lives. It's very explains when we 320 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 1: were around the League versus around the NFL. That's why, yes, 321 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: good point anybody asks asking questions. For about one episodes, 322 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: we were the Around the League podcast, and the changeover 323 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 1: happened right about the time Dick Banks, who composed that song, Um, 324 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: you know, recorded it and we didn't want to change it. 325 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: We like it. Team of at L, team of a T. 326 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: And it's the same thing, all right now. Let me 327 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: set the set the groundwork. He set the ground floor, 328 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 1: set the gonauld the ground floor, build the ground floor. 329 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 1: Here um the team of around the NFL, the team 330 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: that we collectively will root for together. We had a 331 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,239 Speaker 1: nomination process a couple of weeks back, and through that 332 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 1: nomination process, the following teams were up for nomination as 333 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 1: the team of a t L Mark Sessler, the Cincinnati 334 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 1: Bengals Chris Westling, the Tennessee Titans, the Old Zeus or 335 00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders uh Greg Rosen withal the Tampa Bay Bucks. 336 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: Mark Um moved away from the Bengals, and I believe 337 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 1: Mark is officially uh putting the Minnesota Vikings in as 338 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: his nominee in this in this game. Are you along 339 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:17,479 Speaker 1: with us on this, Mark? Oh? Yes, that's not news. Okay, alright, 340 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: So the Vikings are in, and so those are the 341 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: four teams right now before we go around the horn 342 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: here and I'll just some basic facts here. The Vikings 343 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: are three and oh and obviously playing tremendous football, especially 344 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball. Uh. And the 345 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: other teams are one in two, Titans, two and one, Raiders, 346 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 1: one in two, Bucks and the Bengals marks the original 347 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 1: team or one and two. So things not looking so 348 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: good right now in terms of win loss record, But 349 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,679 Speaker 1: that's not really Greg what it's all about. Now. The 350 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: Panthers when we chose them, I believe in two thousand 351 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: thirteen were I think they started the year three and 352 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: three and we chose them in the middle of that. 353 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: All right, So I want everyone to now have an 354 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 1: open mind, open hearts, and we might not choose a 355 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 1: team we're laying out there. We're not gonna force anything. 356 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: It's gotta be a unanimous vote to pick a team. Uh. 357 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 1: We might have to adjourn this to a later date 358 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: if we have to. Let's see how it plays out. Mark. 359 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 1: We're gonna start with you, Uh. Mark set the ladies 360 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 1: and gentlemen again explained to us why the Vikings should 361 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: be the team of a t You. It starts for 362 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: me with the coach that I've been talking about all 363 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: offseason into this season, Mike Zimmer, who you know what 364 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: I think thirty one. Other teams can look around and say, 365 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 1: how do we had a vacancy? We should have thought 366 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: about this guy a lot sooner than we did. But 367 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: you know what, I think he is who he is 368 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,959 Speaker 1: because he came to it late in life. Mike Zimmer 369 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: has shown incredible resilience no matter what's happened to this team. 370 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: Who would have thought you lose your starting quarterback, you 371 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 1: lose the best running back on the planet, and you're 372 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: gonna be three and oh and it seems with this 373 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: entire locker room completely believes in themselves. I love their players, 374 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: Stephon digs on offense. They've got a very stacked defense. 375 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: I've been through it before. This is my team, and 376 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 1: if anyone chooses to sign up with me, there is 377 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: one caveat. You have to believe it too. I don't 378 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 1: want if they if the Kings, because I don't care 379 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: if the Vikings go six and ten, they're my team. 380 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: If someone else is looking for an NFC, you know, 381 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: playoff game win, I don't want to hear about it. 382 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 1: If things don't go your way. If you sign up 383 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 1: for it, it's because you want it. That man believes 384 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: what he's saying Mark Sessler Ladies and Gentlemen has officially 385 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: nominated in the Minnesota, but if hears about the rules 386 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 1: at the end of that, I just the one any 387 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: I don't want any flak in the Cube farm. The 388 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,679 Speaker 1: Vikings might have been a bad idea, like I just 389 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: don't want to hear any lip from anyone. Well, but 390 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: you were allowed to like other teams to you know, 391 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: in our hearts, we know what you're saying. Mark. If 392 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: we choose as a collective the Minnesota Vikings, they are 393 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: our team, so there can be no backbiting. Since we're in. 394 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: We're in together now, Chris Westling, we move on to um. Chris, 395 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans you were very high on in the preseason. 396 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: You publicly broke up with them on Twitter during Sunday's 397 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 1: Week three game. Question to you now, Wes Um, who 398 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: will replace the Titans as a nominee if anyone? Such 399 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: a hard question because the number one factor of all 400 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: the factors that go into a team of a t 401 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: L for me is always when I get home from 402 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: a long Sunday of watching football, who's the team I 403 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: want to turn on immediately on game pass? And there 404 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: is no team there's no team that has replaced the 405 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: two thousand fifteen Arizona Cardinals. Wow, cleaning up two NFL teams? 406 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: Clean it up? Sorry, it does this year. I want 407 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: to remind the audience to to refrain from any type 408 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,199 Speaker 1: of reactions like that. This is an honest discussion with 409 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: open minds and open hearts. Go ahead, West. So, since 410 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: no one has replaced the two fifteen Arizona Cardinals, and 411 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,360 Speaker 1: since I believe one of the worst mistakes we ever 412 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: did in this segment was jumping on a Chargers team 413 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: that peaked too early, I don't think it's a good 414 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 1: idea to chase three and O records for team of 415 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: a t L. I'm gonna stay with the Arizona Cardinals 416 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: as my nomination. Interesting, Interesting, especially because the Arizona Cardinals 417 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: are not playing well right now. West, that is a 418 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 1: nomination that you believe they will turn it around. Obviously, 419 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 1: you're still rooting for him, still rooting for him, and 420 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: I think the best is yet to come. All right, 421 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: that's good? I like that. Yeah. West brings back the 422 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,239 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals, last year's team around the NFL. And by 423 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: the way, there are no rules uh to say that 424 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: you cannot come back and have a back to back 425 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: team of atl not. Why not? Nowhere in the by 426 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 1: laws is that said. Nor are there by laws well 427 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: not officially, but you know, maybe maybe someone at home 428 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: has created by laws. Someone will within a week. I 429 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: remember West wanted to bring back the Chargers for a 430 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: second season last year. We said, no, not a great idea. 431 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna forget that. That whole thing ever happened. 432 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 1: I think, um, the next the next team I will 433 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: now go. And yes, the Oakland Raiders were my pick 434 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,679 Speaker 1: three weeks ago. Um, I'm going to stick with the 435 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders. And UM, no, now am I going to 436 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 1: say that? I think right now they're the most thrilling 437 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: team in the league. No. Is their defense problematic? We've 438 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: obviously talked about that. Um, but I thought there was 439 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: some progress, uh in the last week's game against Tennessee, 440 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 1: even though they were um playing the Titans who were 441 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: lost with Malarkey. But let me tell you the number 442 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: one reason why I believe the Oakland Raiders should remain 443 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 1: or be the team of around the NFL. And I 444 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,880 Speaker 1: didn't bring it up during the nomination process. Tell us, ever, 445 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: hear of a woman by the name of Little Debbie. Hey, Debbie, 446 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:50,639 Speaker 1: you there, there's a girl, Little Debbie. Gould have you 447 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: back on the show. This is a surprise. Marks blushing 448 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,120 Speaker 1: right now, not at all. We want to hear from 449 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: you about the why should we pick the Raiders as 450 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: our team this season? Well, why shouldn't the Raiders be 451 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: the show's team? Who else is balling like like them? 452 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know we're balling right now. Harders 453 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: are doing good, but who cares? And honestly, the RAM sucks, 454 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: so of course it should be the Raiders. A lot 455 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: of true things. Now, Listen, Little Debbie is from the 456 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 1: Bay Area. She represents she's loyal to the cause up 457 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: there in Oaktown? Is that? Does that? Check out? Ohtown? 458 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: Where we gonna do that? Yeah? That's cool, all right, Oaktown? 459 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: And she sees the Raiders as an up and coming team. 460 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: Who are we to go against Little Debbie? Well, plus, 461 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,199 Speaker 1: let's let's be honest being a Raiders fan, it's not 462 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: even just about the team. Back back me up on this, 463 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 1: little Debbie. I mean, what are you The Raiders culture 464 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: mean to you? They're kind of the badasses of the NFL, 465 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 1: like we are. The bad asses of the around the NFL. 466 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: It's NFL media, let's come down with that one. But 467 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: there is something to that. The Raiders are the bad 468 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: boys of the league. You're kind of like the bad 469 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: girl of hip hop a little Debbie in a lot 470 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 1: of ways. That's part of the process as well, isn't it. Well? 471 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 1: And I'm just like I was born in Oakland, Like 472 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: like I said before, I'm true to my soil. And 473 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 1: that's as as a girl that doesn't watch too much football. Um, 474 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: you know, I have to stick with the Raiders, you know, 475 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 1: But but I feel like all Bay Area football teams 476 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: are very influential and very good doing great things. Right now, 477 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: let's say we go in another direction. You know, there's 478 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 1: thirty one other teams to pick from. What is your 479 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 1: attitude towards the four of us? If we don't get 480 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: this done according to your wishes? But if we do 481 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: not choose the Raiders with that change how you felt 482 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: about us? Is what Mark's saying. I think, Uh, No, 483 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: I love you guys anyway. Oh I love you too, 484 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: Little Debbie. Hey, do you have any concerns about the 485 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 1: Raiders defense through three weeks? No, They're like, didn't they 486 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: do good. Lastly, they're doing better, right, absolutely, yeah, they're 487 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: rolling on it. They've won two out of three games 488 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: and their defense really did step up, held their opponent 489 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: on Sunday and just ten points.

We can maybe do a do 499 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 1: a show from there, do an episode from there, and uh, 500 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,919 Speaker 1: yes you can get Little Debbie's latest album is available 501 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 1: in iTunes and all other means of um share able music. Correct, 502 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: Yeah her on Twitter to alright, so make sure you 503 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: check that out. Little Debbie was a blessing to have 504 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 1: you here. We have to get you back in the 505 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: studio too, because, uh, you know, talking to a Little 506 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: Debbie is always a fun thing for us. But little 507 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 1: Debbie is one of the crew. That's next level stuff. Alright, yes, 508 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: what was that little Debbie? I said, squad, We're sure 509 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: al right, little Debbie, you're the best. See you later. 510 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: Thank you by give it up for a little Debbie. Everybody, alright. 511 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: I don't need to say anything else top that. That 512 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: was compelling. That was compelling because we could ask you know, 513 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 1: I didn't want to get into negotiations with her on 514 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: the air. It would go through her agent. But let's 515 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,959 Speaker 1: be honest, we could ask her to maybe drop some bars, 516 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 1: make a new team of at l song. Big Banks 517 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: doesn't like that. Out the rain. Gregg's nomination of the 518 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: Patriots will ruggle after what we've just heard. All right, 519 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 1: so let's let's before we go to Greg uh Mark Sessler, 520 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: the Vikings, Chris Westling, the Cardinals and the old Juser 521 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: and Little Debbie the Raiders, and now well the Bucks 522 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: are the team of th ch Al. That's my team. 523 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: But you guys hate the Bucks. There's no chance that 524 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: they have. It's an uphill battle. I see you, guys. 525 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: Let's let's call it like it is. It's it's a 526 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: west thing. He doesn't like Mark. Mark doesn't I thought, 527 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: But it's okay, I get it. Park has bitched about 528 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: the Bucks everybody as much as I. Yes, that is 529 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: absolutely true. It is I that's it's like, you know, 530 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: the Texans came up for a bit. I would have 531 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: stood it the way I get it. It's not logical. 532 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. I'm still going to enjoy watching Jamis 533 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: Winston this year. But I don't need to be Hugh 534 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: Jackson and have a positive outlook and try to lift 535 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: up a team that has no chance, no offense to 536 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: the Browns, none taking Greg. So I have chanced. I 537 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 1: have changed open hearts, open minds. I'm changing my nomination 538 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: and this is a long shot too. Uh. And I 539 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: do worry about chasing a good record. But you said 540 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: it in terms of what teams do you want to watch? 541 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: I like watching the Eagles. I mean I always like 542 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: watching the Eagles. I like watching Carson Wentz. That is 543 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: the team I turned on first on Sunday night. So 544 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: it got me thinking they are the team. And uh, 545 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: I picked them to win the division every single year 546 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: for no reason. Why not? The Eagles defense just excited 547 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: about the Eagles. But now you have the added benefit 548 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 1: of the most exciting young quarterback in the league. Exactly 549 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: a fun a fun team. They're not going to be perfect, 550 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: but a defense that flies around in a young QB. 551 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: Can I ask a question to the quiet storm? Yes? Please? 552 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: Is there any concerns or does the Carson Wentz issue 553 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: with you as a Browns fan? Would that preclude you 554 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: from getting behind the Eagles as the team of a 555 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 1: t O. I'm gonna kind of explain this. I I 556 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: don't take anything away from Carson Wentz, and I totally 557 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: see what Greg's talking about because either a team that 558 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: kind of came out of absolute nowhere, and it's not 559 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 1: just Carson Wentz, it's their defense too. There's a lot 560 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: to like about what's happening there. So taking nothing away 561 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: from the Eagles, but I I just feel cemented and 562 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: tied to my choice. It would feel kind of weird 563 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 1: for me suddenly to be tweeting and being like, hey, 564 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 1: look at me. I'm supporting the Eagles, this team of 565 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: a t L like you know which Bengals fans already 566 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: have seen me do this? Uh as I shifted to 567 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: the Vikings, So I respect your move. Greg Um. I 568 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 1: cannot support you. I expected that. I just want to 569 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 1: throw another team out there. If I didn't have a team, 570 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: I might sign up for that. So the Eagles are 571 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: not an option to saying not Mark, Are they for 572 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: everyone else? Does anyone else? Would anyone else rule them out? 573 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: Or does anyone else like I would not rule them out, 574 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: not rule out the Eagles. But if you're if you 575 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 1: feel strong, well, I I think what I laid out 576 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: initially was, is it do you want to drag me 577 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: along for the ride? Or can I be maybe our 578 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: our two teams of a t L would meet in 579 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 1: the playoffs that we could have phone with that when 580 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: But I want to keep the group together. So that's 581 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: why they are in opposition. Not only did they play 582 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: each other, I believe in week seven or eight, you 583 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: know they gotta have Bradford versus Wentz. I mean, this 584 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: is a this is a lot of connective tissues. This 585 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: is a no judgment zone. And if you really don't 586 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: think you can get behind the Eagles, it's not gonna 587 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: be uh, you know, dump on Mark. I will say 588 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 1: that it's not like the Steelers or well, and it's 589 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: exactly like the Big Ben Just essentially it's twelve years later. 590 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 1: But it's get it. Had the Jets passed on Carson 591 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: Wentz and I was trying to tell you to take Hey, 592 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: you know the Jacksonville Jaguars took Carson Wentz. Dan, you 593 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 1: got to get excited about this. Where would your headspace? 594 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: I'd probably probably be in the same place, But I again, 595 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: I'd not begrudging. The three of you can go down 596 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: a nice little road of your own, and I think 597 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: you might do very very well. We don't want to 598 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 1: leave you, we leave no man behind you. Well, then 599 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 1: I'm not going to make a decision right now. Okay, 600 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: so we'll keep them, keep them on the docket, and 601 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: you know, just to keep them there. But the docket 602 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: they have an up uphill climb. All right, I'm gonna 603 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: make a I'm gonna make a suggestion here. I don't 604 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: think it's red time to vote on these new four 605 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: teams yet. I think maybe we adjourn for a week 606 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 1: or perhaps even two before making the final decision thrown 607 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 1: out there. I think we try let's see what happens 608 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: on Sunday. I don't know. We promised that people have vote. 609 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: I just gone I'm with Dan on this. I don't 610 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 1: think we're ready yet. I mean, Mark seems like he's 611 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: dead set on the Vikings, which is cool and totally understandable. 612 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: He could change his mind next week. I think the 613 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 1: Vikings might have more support than he thinks in this room. Well, 614 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: there are some other stuff to get we have. West 615 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: is upset with the subreddit of the Vikings. Is that 616 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 1: a hurdle that we won't be able to clear? And again, 617 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: just like I respect Mark's reasons for me against the Eagles, 618 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 1: I respect that that is where you come down. On 619 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: the Viking subreddit. They unleased some personal attacks on the 620 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: three of you and Mark Mark got over that. I 621 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 1: don't like that they attacked. I'm I like the Vikings too. 622 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 1: I think one of their conceits was that we were 623 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 1: behind the ball on the Vikings last season. And I 624 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: don't care what their conceits are. Whatever your conceits are, 625 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: you don't go personally attacking people. Got petties what West 626 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,959 Speaker 1: is saying, and and we'll West is right to feel 627 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,479 Speaker 1: that way. But let's keep things open and we okay 628 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 1: to adjourn for one week. We can't drag it out 629 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 1: too far. We cannot do we want to do one 630 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 1: week or two weeks. I think we said we'd see 631 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,879 Speaker 1: where we are one week, because a lot can happen 632 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Okay, we adjourned for one week with our 633 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:41,359 Speaker 1: new teams, the Vikings, Cardinals, Raiders and Eagles. There you go. Hey, 634 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 1: we worked through it, guys, It's a process. Anybody that's 635 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 1: frustrated right now that thought, oh you guys suck. You 636 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,760 Speaker 1: should have had a team pick by now, it's important 637 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: that we get this right. That's the most important thing. 638 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,800 Speaker 1: And I want to apologize to Bucks fans for deserting them. 639 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 1: It was a political move for the sake of the 640 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 1: entertainment of the show. Well, that is a that is 641 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,920 Speaker 1: a shot at me, basically, that's what that is. What 642 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 1: are you talking about, Greg is saying, look at how 643 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 1: selfless I am to rally and pick a team that 644 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 1: I know the other the two guys on the on 645 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: board with And I'll say, you know, listen, sorry to 646 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 1: Bucks fans. I just had to do what was right 647 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 1: for everyone. I was not remotely thinking about you, thank you, 648 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 1: tape fly Adio. I wasn't even thinking about I don't 649 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: think about you ever. Um okay, And a basic tenant 650 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 1: of journalism happens downstairs in our newsroom. You don't have 651 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,320 Speaker 1: to be first, you do have to be right, and 652 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: that's why we're not voting. Let's move on. I don't 653 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,880 Speaker 1: want to be first or right. I don't get either right, 654 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 1: But let's move on alright, the return of our annual series, 655 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,360 Speaker 1: UH stick a fork in him, where we we decide, 656 00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,800 Speaker 1: we throw down the gauntlet and make the decision which 657 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 1: teams have no chance of making the postseason? Uh. And 658 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,400 Speaker 1: as the weeks go along, we will add teams to 659 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: the list of the damned and um to start, UM, 660 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 1: we want to look at teams that are And by 661 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 1: the way, if we get any of these wrong, if 662 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 1: we if we decide that a team is forked, forked 663 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 1: hard and they go on to make the postseason? Is 664 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,800 Speaker 1: it happened twice last year with both the Chiefs and 665 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: the Redskins, we will make a donation. Yeah, or was 666 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 1: it the Texans? Did we? I think it was three teams? 667 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 1: Good job? I don't even we did great. We will 668 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 1: make a donation to a local charity where that team 669 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,799 Speaker 1: plays as we did last year. Yes, we'll do We'll 670 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,840 Speaker 1: say we will do it all year and then not 671 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 1: actually do it. That's also another road. I mean, whatever happens, 672 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,800 Speaker 1: a donation will be made or it won't, but we 673 00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 1: will say we'll make it. There will be a donation 674 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,440 Speaker 1: made to just not be made by us, or it 675 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:05,239 Speaker 1: will maybe, you know, maybe we're feeling charitable come the 676 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,720 Speaker 1: end of the season and we have a little extra change. Listen, 677 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 1: I got a kid, I got another on the way. 678 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: I gotta pay our rent. It's not like I have 679 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 1: a ton of money to be throwing around to charitable foundations. 680 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 1: Does that make me a bad guy? You decide? We 681 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,279 Speaker 1: squandered an opportunity to throw this into the negotiations for 682 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 1: our sponsorship. You know, you know what happened. We got flamed. 683 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 1: We make the Netherlands paid donations to us out of here. 684 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,439 Speaker 1: They wanted this day longer. Get them out, get them out. 685 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,279 Speaker 1: Um okay, So anyway, we'll do this in a very 686 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 1: basic method. We'll just keep it, keep it very straightforward. 687 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 1: There are four oh and three teams in the league 688 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 1: right now. And we learned this statistic via Sean McDonough 689 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 1: and Jake Gruden or John Gruden on the Monday Night 690 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:57,839 Speaker 1: Football telecast last night. Since the two thousand two division realignment, 691 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:02,399 Speaker 1: which is how many seasons now, two thousand six, two 692 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 1: fourteen seasons? Maybe this would be the fifteen last time 693 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 1: your Raiders made the playoffs. Right in the fourteen seasons 694 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,479 Speaker 1: since the divisions realigned, no team that has started owing 695 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,880 Speaker 1: three has gone on to make the playoffs. So it 696 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,239 Speaker 1: is history tells us and West, as you say all 697 00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 1: the time about history, it is instructive. That's where West 698 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 1: says when I, when I make the West, pull string dollars, 699 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:30,880 Speaker 1: sell it and make billions of dollars, that will be 700 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: one of the things that said, it's about me. History 701 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 1: is instructive. You know a bunch of great phrases. I've 702 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 1: only said it's about me one time, and when I 703 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 1: said it really was about me, it got taken out 704 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 1: of context. It was iconic West. Anyway, history is instructive. 705 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 1: So the three, the four teams here history tells us 706 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,400 Speaker 1: are done. So there's nothing bold if we decide to 707 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 1: fork them. But we need to have it again. The 708 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 1: unanimous vote the New Orleans Saints, the Jacksonville Jaguars, the 709 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:03,480 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns, and the Chicago Bears, all oh in three um, 710 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 1: all in favor of forking all four teams say yea, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 711 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:18,279 Speaker 1: Sure a little hesitation there from you, Greg, who's giving 712 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: you a little pause? Let me guess the Saints. No, 713 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:24,880 Speaker 1: the Jaguars would probably be the team because their environment 714 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 1: that you know, the South, or the team quarterbacks broken. 715 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 1: Does the history thing do any do anything for you? 716 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,680 Speaker 1: The fact that it just has never happened, but how 717 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:37,439 Speaker 1: many Yes, of course it does. That's why I said yes. 718 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,440 Speaker 1: But it wouldn't be surprising to me to see the 719 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 1: Jaguars in the mix at some point in a lousy division. 720 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,200 Speaker 1: They're losing each game by a few points. I mean, 721 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,719 Speaker 1: the Saints are a good example, Like they wouldn't be 722 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 1: in this so in three crop if they had hit 723 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 1: a kick or if you know, they didn't lose it 724 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 1: the last second against the Giants. Like that's just how 725 00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 1: the NFL goes. I don't think there's so much different. 726 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:01,759 Speaker 1: And then some teams that are two and one that 727 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:03,719 Speaker 1: are well, some of those teams have out. They got 728 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,960 Speaker 1: some teams they've lost too, but a little different in 729 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 1: the NFC, and I think someone you know in the 730 00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 1: NFC South, I don't think the Saints are coming back 731 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,160 Speaker 1: by and if any of those teams made the playoffs, 732 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 1: it would be the story of the year. Um and 733 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,399 Speaker 1: I do want to say, you know, if you really 734 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,360 Speaker 1: do have actual hesitation, because we gotta want to be 735 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,160 Speaker 1: careful of this. We gotta get it right. Let's not 736 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,400 Speaker 1: mess up any teams this year. If you want to 737 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,680 Speaker 1: wait one more week on the Jags, they'll win this week, 738 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 1: I think in London. But it doesn't matter. Okay, So 739 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:32,160 Speaker 1: you're okay shocked if they won this week, I'm good. Okay. Well, 740 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 1: so that's right off the bat. We have forked, four teams, 741 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:39,239 Speaker 1: forked hard. Get the fork out of here. Did not 742 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:44,160 Speaker 1: take long for that Jaguars hype train to be derailed. Well, 743 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 1: it shows how much can happen in three weeks. Thank 744 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 1: god we didn't listen to the of people on Twitter 745 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,560 Speaker 1: who wanted us to choose the Jags for a team 746 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,600 Speaker 1: of all. Right now, there's some one in two teams. 747 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:55,960 Speaker 1: In fact, there's a lot of one and two teams. 748 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:57,799 Speaker 1: They're gonna put it. I'm gonna guess in the neighborhood 749 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,279 Speaker 1: of about ten teams out of the third the two 750 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 1: in the league are sitting at one and two right now. 751 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,360 Speaker 1: But I want to bring up four of these teams, 752 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,279 Speaker 1: and then if I if there's one another one that 753 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,480 Speaker 1: jumps out to feel free to bring it up. First. 754 00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 1: One I'll throw out is a team with some unrest 755 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 1: in the locker room. Got a much needed win in 756 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,200 Speaker 1: Week three on the road, but still a lot of 757 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 1: signs that this is a flawed team and a potentially 758 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 1: good division. The one in two Washington Redskins are thoughts 759 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:29,439 Speaker 1: on forking the Skins too much firepower, can't for them? Yeah, 760 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,520 Speaker 1: I need another week. I need to see. If they 761 00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 1: ever lost to Cleveland this week, you're gone. It should 762 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,799 Speaker 1: that be a general rule for all of these teams. Uh, 763 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 1: Cleveland loss and you're gone, Not any team in the NFL. 764 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I think could happen. But if if, if 765 00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,120 Speaker 1: a struggling team loses to a what people think is 766 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,200 Speaker 1: the top bottom one or two teams, yes you're in 767 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,279 Speaker 1: trouble alright, So cross keep the Redskins alive for now. 768 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,879 Speaker 1: How about another one and two team. They won their 769 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 1: opener a shutout win, a dominant shutout one win, and 770 00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,880 Speaker 1: the opener have since lost two straight. These Francisco forty 771 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,160 Speaker 1: Niners and Chip Kelly, We're gonna count out Chip before 772 00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:08,319 Speaker 1: October strikes. I would have had no problem forking three 773 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 1: teams before the season started, and that would have been 774 00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 1: the Bears, Browns and forty Niners. Nothing they have shown 775 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,840 Speaker 1: has changed my mind. Despite winning the game, I'd for 776 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,200 Speaker 1: them for them talent poor, Yeah, they're not They're not 777 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 1: making the playoffs number one, and that's what this is about. 778 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:25,560 Speaker 1: And they were giving up about you know, can you 779 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,600 Speaker 1: please give up more points per week? After having a 780 00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:33,719 Speaker 1: shout out there there, I didn't get my vote yet, 781 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,960 Speaker 1: but yes, I wish you did correctly predict that. I 782 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:38,880 Speaker 1: also will fork them as well. The forty Niners are 783 00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:43,440 Speaker 1: done Irish no taxation without representative bizarre. The bizarre dominant 784 00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 1: defensive Monday Night performance to start the season by San 785 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:51,560 Speaker 1: Francisco is one of the strangest two years in the 786 00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,719 Speaker 1: year in the league. I do kind of I will 787 00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:57,400 Speaker 1: say both to the UH, to this group and also 788 00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,359 Speaker 1: society at large of follows football. No, but he got 789 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,439 Speaker 1: sucked in by the one that happened this year though. 790 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,160 Speaker 1: It was the Rams showing up unprepared UH to play 791 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:10,840 Speaker 1: football in the regular sea and we took it. We 792 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,279 Speaker 1: sure are. We took advantage of that um. The next 793 00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,920 Speaker 1: team I will bring up is in the a f 794 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:22,320 Speaker 1: C a f C East. They are also one of 795 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:30,240 Speaker 1: the right. Um. If he throws six more interceptions on Sunday, 796 00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 1: I'm with you. But anyway, the team I'm referring to, 797 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,440 Speaker 1: of course, or there's two options here, the Miami Dolphins 798 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:40,720 Speaker 1: are one and two. Uh. They lost a narrow decision 799 00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:42,960 Speaker 1: to the Seattle Seahawks on the road in Week one, 800 00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,560 Speaker 1: then fell behind huge to the Patriots on the road, 801 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,239 Speaker 1: came back and but then just fell short. And then 802 00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:54,960 Speaker 1: they needed not only um uh three misses from Cody Parkey, 803 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:59,040 Speaker 1: the Cleveland kicker, but then a touchdown and overtime to 804 00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:03,080 Speaker 1: defeat the Ounds at home in Week three. Their upcoming 805 00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:07,560 Speaker 1: schedule at Cincinnati, home to Cincinnati, home at Cincinnati, home 806 00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:11,239 Speaker 1: to Tennessee, home to Pittsburgh, home to Buffalo, Bye week. 807 00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 1: The Miami Dolphins, it's tougher, one yea, not a lot tougher. 808 00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,879 Speaker 1: They got outplayed by the Browns last week. I would 809 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:23,919 Speaker 1: I would say, I'm inclined to say even if they're 810 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,000 Speaker 1: in it in December, Tannehill will ruin it for them 811 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,440 Speaker 1: and they'll fall apart down the stretch like they always 812 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 1: do well. Part of the reason we're doing stick a 813 00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:34,360 Speaker 1: forking fork and him is their most famous fan, Handsome 814 00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:38,160 Speaker 1: Hank didn't what doesn't He just so annoyed with this 815 00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,719 Speaker 1: team that he almost wanted us to fork them, did he? 816 00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:45,919 Speaker 1: He reached out to me yesterday on um our it's 817 00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,319 Speaker 1: the messenger client that shall but shall not be named 818 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,879 Speaker 1: because it's run by garbage people, and was pushing hard 819 00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:53,600 Speaker 1: for the Dolphins to be done because he said there 820 00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,959 Speaker 1: was no scenario by which they could win enough games 821 00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,280 Speaker 1: to make the playoffs. Um here's the thing though, Still, 822 00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,680 Speaker 1: you know I'm not ready to say goodbye to the 823 00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,480 Speaker 1: Dolphins yet. I would like to wait another week. Are 824 00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:09,640 Speaker 1: you doing this just to stick it to Henry? Maybe 825 00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:11,879 Speaker 1: I am. I I've been told by Henry that I'm 826 00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:16,560 Speaker 1: to anti Dolphins on this podcast. Well I'm gonna well 827 00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:22,520 Speaker 1: he is. He is anti Dolphins. We like when the 828 00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:24,919 Speaker 1: Browns and in the in the Miami played last week. 829 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,000 Speaker 1: We instead of putting, you know, lunch on it or 830 00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:30,880 Speaker 1: a big dinner as we've done in the past. He 831 00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:32,960 Speaker 1: had me write a Tim Tebow book report at one time, 832 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,719 Speaker 1: which I never did. I we bet a pat of 833 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:39,560 Speaker 1: butter from the huddle, because that's the stakes that kind 834 00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 1: of a game had. I'll give the Dolphins one more week. 835 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,359 Speaker 1: But uh my, the only reason is I look up 836 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:45,640 Speaker 1: and down the a f C and a lot of 837 00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,359 Speaker 1: bad teams in the a f C. Does Handsome Hanks 838 00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:52,120 Speaker 1: strike you as a man who pays up on his wagers? Well? 839 00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,239 Speaker 1: I lost, so I laid up. Let me let me 840 00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:58,680 Speaker 1: step in here. Remember he wrote a detailed book review 841 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:01,000 Speaker 1: back in the day and Amazon book review. What was 842 00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,240 Speaker 1: the book again? It was Kurt Warner's uh call a wife, 843 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,719 Speaker 1: She wrote in a wonderful biography autobiography. Why are you 844 00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,719 Speaker 1: making a face like that when you say it was 845 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,080 Speaker 1: remembering what the book is when you write about your life. 846 00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:16,320 Speaker 1: Randell Warner wrote a book about football, faith and marriage. 847 00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:20,120 Speaker 1: And if you want to track that down, Henry wrote 848 00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:23,000 Speaker 1: what amounted to about a three hundred four hundred job. 849 00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,400 Speaker 1: So I would say he does own up. That was 850 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,480 Speaker 1: back when he was owning up. Let the records show 851 00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:34,040 Speaker 1: that we've seen Henry using a fork. Oh and he 852 00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,279 Speaker 1: vowed that if the Redskins made the playoffs last year, 853 00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,960 Speaker 1: he would never use a fork again. Okay, that's a 854 00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:43,440 Speaker 1: fair point. I mean that's you're right, okay, Well, handsome 855 00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:47,640 Speaker 1: hand as much follow through as our charity endeavor, we're 856 00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,920 Speaker 1: working on that. We're working on that, all right. So 857 00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:52,719 Speaker 1: the Dolphins we're gonna hold for a week. Were you 858 00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:56,279 Speaker 1: ready for him? I hadn't decided. I was listening to 859 00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,680 Speaker 1: the room. But we're gonna hold. I think it's cruel 860 00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:00,319 Speaker 1: of you, Dan to let them twist in the wind 861 00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,920 Speaker 1: for another week, Stu fun let's stay in the a 862 00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:06,600 Speaker 1: f C East now and talk about the Buffalo Bills. 863 00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:11,880 Speaker 1: Um a team that, yes, with their back against the wall, 864 00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,120 Speaker 1: they beat the Arizona Carlos, beat up on the Arizona Cardinals, 865 00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,960 Speaker 1: uh in their building. But listen to their schedule the 866 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,759 Speaker 1: next two weeks already at one and two. Now they 867 00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 1: go to New England, who you know, still with either 868 00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:32,720 Speaker 1: a banged up Jimmy Garoppolo or Jake Brisket. Perhaps slice 869 00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:38,239 Speaker 1: me off that Jake Bristol. But here's a look at 870 00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:41,480 Speaker 1: the upcoming schedule for the Bills. At New England in 871 00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:46,239 Speaker 1: week four, at l A in week five, and at 872 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,439 Speaker 1: New England. Is gonna be a tough game, even though 873 00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,840 Speaker 1: it might be a banged up Jimmy Garoppolo Garoppolo or 874 00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,640 Speaker 1: a banged up Jake Brisket. Uh, you still think that 875 00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:58,719 Speaker 1: that's gonna be a very tough game. Our thoughts on 876 00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:00,840 Speaker 1: the Bills will start with you, Mark, Well, I know 877 00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:03,719 Speaker 1: what you're gonna say, Mark, No, I'll tell you what. 878 00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:08,000 Speaker 1: I watched them play the Cardinals today and uh, they 879 00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,239 Speaker 1: beat them up, as you said, I mean they were 880 00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:12,879 Speaker 1: they it was at home, and that Buffalo wins one 881 00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,160 Speaker 1: game like that a season at least. But that's a 882 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,280 Speaker 1: game that everyone thought they were gonna go in three. 883 00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:19,719 Speaker 1: I don't see them getting past the Patriots, but they 884 00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:21,520 Speaker 1: could be two and three after win at the Rams. 885 00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:24,080 Speaker 1: Then they have the forty niners and the Dolphins. So 886 00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,600 Speaker 1: I'm not going to eliminate the Bills when I think 887 00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,000 Speaker 1: they're a better football team than the Miami Dolphins right now, 888 00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,040 Speaker 1: that's a that's a good way to look at I'm 889 00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,040 Speaker 1: not saying they're good teams, just they're up there with 890 00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:38,160 Speaker 1: where the Cardinals. No showed. That's what I attribute the 891 00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:40,680 Speaker 1: Bills win to the Cardinals. No show. Wow, they but 892 00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,080 Speaker 1: that there's a little more to don't you think you 893 00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:44,839 Speaker 1: guys can take away whatever you want from the game. 894 00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,560 Speaker 1: My takeaway was the Cardinals no show, and the Bills 895 00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,319 Speaker 1: can beat the Patriots in New England, and I'd still 896 00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,719 Speaker 1: vote to fork them next week. They're a bad team, 897 00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,560 Speaker 1: They're a shallow team, and they have no offense. I 898 00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,120 Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna make the playoffs yet I wouldn't 899 00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,400 Speaker 1: fork them just because I'm not in it. I'm not 900 00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:04,040 Speaker 1: in a rush too, and you know, like dance around. 901 00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,839 Speaker 1: These seasons are over after week three. Let's like play 902 00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:09,960 Speaker 1: out a little team like the Bills. By the way, 903 00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:11,960 Speaker 1: does it bother you that a team that you believe 904 00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:13,719 Speaker 1: no showed would be a team of a t L? 905 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,160 Speaker 1: Do we want a no showing team to be the 906 00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:19,319 Speaker 1: team we all support? Did bother me? Yes? That did 907 00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:23,759 Speaker 1: bother me? Okay? Uh? The So those are the four? There? 908 00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:25,919 Speaker 1: Any other one and two teams are there? I say 909 00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:29,120 Speaker 1: two and one teams that you guys think should be 910 00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:37,400 Speaker 1: forked after three games. Looking at the standings here, I 911 00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:40,800 Speaker 1: don't see any other teams I would nominate. The Titans 912 00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,839 Speaker 1: would certainly be the word. If I had to pick 913 00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,399 Speaker 1: who's the worst team with one win? I would pick 914 00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,480 Speaker 1: the Titans. You know, kind of when I was thinking 915 00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:50,640 Speaker 1: about Okay, the Jaguars. What's the difference between them and 916 00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:52,920 Speaker 1: some other teams? Are the Saints? To me that the 917 00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,360 Speaker 1: Titans have been one of the worst teams in the NFL. 918 00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,040 Speaker 1: They had a one point when which was nice, you know, 919 00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:02,279 Speaker 1: a comeback again a team that was decimated. They haven't 920 00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,960 Speaker 1: really shown me much. But I again, I'm I'm not 921 00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:08,799 Speaker 1: really anxious to go crazy forking so early because this 922 00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:11,120 Speaker 1: season is long. I mean that the Chiefs were oh 923 00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:14,000 Speaker 1: in five last year, we've forked them. We would have 924 00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,600 Speaker 1: never I think we've forked about Owen three. We would 925 00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,400 Speaker 1: have never considered what they what they ended up accomplishing. 926 00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,080 Speaker 1: I don't see the Titans doing that. But it's too 927 00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:23,600 Speaker 1: early to give up on them. And you did have 928 00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,319 Speaker 1: your bit earlier about the Jets, but I will say no, 929 00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:28,440 Speaker 1: I would not if they don't. If they don't find 930 00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:31,399 Speaker 1: a way to pull together three weeks, I'm just gonna say, 931 00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:33,719 Speaker 1: if they fought to one in three on Sunday and 932 00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,279 Speaker 1: then they have back to back trips to Pittsburgh and Arizona, 933 00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,879 Speaker 1: they should be at least brought up for conversation at 934 00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,480 Speaker 1: one and three. Not gonna be a homer on that 935 00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:44,560 Speaker 1: it's no different than West's take on the Bills that 936 00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:46,880 Speaker 1: the thing is they have to make the playoffs. It's 937 00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,520 Speaker 1: not oh, they might hang around and be a very 938 00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,080 Speaker 1: sub average team. Well, he got to make the playoffs. 939 00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:54,360 Speaker 1: And it's fair to say no on the rest of 940 00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:56,120 Speaker 1: the NFC East if you feel that. And and it's 941 00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:58,840 Speaker 1: always tricky to do it anything based on the schedule. 942 00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:00,520 Speaker 1: We say this in the off season, and now it's 943 00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:03,040 Speaker 1: starting to come home to rouse, like, we'll see if 944 00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:05,279 Speaker 1: the Cardinals are a tough out, like, if that's a 945 00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:08,759 Speaker 1: tough games. So far they haven't been particularly they've been 946 00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:10,799 Speaker 1: and okay to you know, the middle of the road 947 00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,280 Speaker 1: type of team. We'll see if that's a tough aut alright, 948 00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:17,080 Speaker 1: let's uh, let's it right, guys. So the final teams 949 00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,600 Speaker 1: anybody else, even when they want to throw out, okay, 950 00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:24,280 Speaker 1: the final teams now forked. Your season's over. Sorry, guys, 951 00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:26,600 Speaker 1: hate to be the bear bad news. Still listen to 952 00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:29,319 Speaker 1: the pod because it's really If you're a fan of 953 00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:32,200 Speaker 1: the podcast, you should enjoy the banter and also just 954 00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:36,359 Speaker 1: football is fun. Well, plus it's been proven we can 955 00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:39,360 Speaker 1: be wrong on this many times. You could stick it 956 00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:41,759 Speaker 1: to us there's been your interest highly at the same 957 00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,239 Speaker 1: time telling you your lopes are over. I believe in 958 00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:48,560 Speaker 1: three years five teams that we've forked have made the playoffs. Yeah, 959 00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,399 Speaker 1: so we're not infallible. We never have been and will 960 00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,920 Speaker 1: probably wrong again. But five teams after Week three have 961 00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:57,360 Speaker 1: been forked by the group. The New Orleans Saints, the 962 00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:04,359 Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars, Cleveland Rounds, Chicago Bars in the San Francisco 963 00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:13,879 Speaker 1: Fartie Niners. Goodbye, guys. Let's talk Thursday night football. Busy show, guys, 964 00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:17,319 Speaker 1: busy show. Uh. Here is a game between a team 965 00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,120 Speaker 1: that we were not ready to fork just yet, the 966 00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:23,720 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins, but they have a tough one on Thursday 967 00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:28,120 Speaker 1: night in Cincinnati against the Bengals. Yes, you got it 968 00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:31,520 Speaker 1: to one of two teams, a double wounded animal game, 969 00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:34,560 Speaker 1: and you know I say that in Jess, but I 970 00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,040 Speaker 1: also you know you fall to one of three, you're 971 00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:39,320 Speaker 1: in deep trouble. So both these teams are gonna be desperate. 972 00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,839 Speaker 1: But West, uh, it seems like this is a nice 973 00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:45,520 Speaker 1: match up here for Cincinnati, a team that needs a 974 00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:48,160 Speaker 1: win against let's face it, kind of a a weak 975 00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:51,440 Speaker 1: willed Miami Dolphins squad. You could say week willing for 976 00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,480 Speaker 1: what the past decade. Yeah, I don't know what's different 977 00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:57,279 Speaker 1: about there. I don't know it's different about this team 978 00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:59,000 Speaker 1: because I don't know what they do well other than 979 00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:03,480 Speaker 1: get the bolt to Gavan Landry or Jarvis Landry and 980 00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:06,640 Speaker 1: then Dominican sum cameraon wake play well. Rashad Jones is 981 00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:09,120 Speaker 1: always at the line of scrimmage making plays. Other than that, 982 00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,279 Speaker 1: they got nothing to hang their hat on, and the 983 00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:14,960 Speaker 1: Bengals should clean up in this game. The Bengals haven't 984 00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:19,680 Speaker 1: shown any proclivity to being a dominant type of team 985 00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:22,440 Speaker 1: this year. They were very lucky to beat the Jets, 986 00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:25,000 Speaker 1: and I think they were soundly beaten by two good 987 00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:26,919 Speaker 1: teams in back to back seasons. They need to show 988 00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,680 Speaker 1: what they do well because I was really surprised to 989 00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:34,120 Speaker 1: see them go so run heavy against Denver. Uh, they 990 00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:38,000 Speaker 1: go so pass happy the week before. They've really haven't 991 00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,040 Speaker 1: rushed the pass or two. Well. The defensive line is 992 00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,440 Speaker 1: something you think of as a strength. It's been okay. 993 00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:45,120 Speaker 1: They they I think, want to prove to themselves that 994 00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:47,200 Speaker 1: they can be that old sort of Bengals team, and 995 00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:48,800 Speaker 1: I think they should. I think it's a good spot 996 00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,040 Speaker 1: for them, and it's fair after all the changes and 997 00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:54,040 Speaker 1: losing your you know, your top two wide receivers outside 998 00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,440 Speaker 1: of A. J. Green during the off season, that it 999 00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:59,160 Speaker 1: had an impact on this passing game. Geo Bernard is 1000 00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:02,480 Speaker 1: their second lead in target getter and C. J. Osama 1001 00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:04,600 Speaker 1: is the third. I mean they need Tyler Reifford back 1002 00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:07,600 Speaker 1: number one in that offense. I think this is a 1003 00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:10,840 Speaker 1: much better team than the Dolphins. They lost to the Steelers. 1004 00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:12,880 Speaker 1: I realized they have not you know, they're one and two, 1005 00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:15,000 Speaker 1: but they lost to the Steelers in Pittsburgh, which has 1006 00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,160 Speaker 1: always been an issue for the Bengals, and they lost 1007 00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,160 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl champions that have not slowed down 1008 00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,399 Speaker 1: from what we've seen there, there's good a teams last year. 1009 00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:23,759 Speaker 1: So I I don't have a problem with one and 1010 00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:25,479 Speaker 1: two for the Bengals at this point. They're not gonna 1011 00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:27,560 Speaker 1: stay in a in a losing column for long. I 1012 00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:30,880 Speaker 1: don't think they're confident they can protect Andy Dalton about 1013 00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:34,439 Speaker 1: after what happened in Week one. I think that's why 1014 00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:36,960 Speaker 1: that's part of the reason why they avoided it against Denver. 1015 00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:39,480 Speaker 1: I mean, they went crazy, run heavy. It was working 1016 00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:41,520 Speaker 1: for the most part, but it was a limited a 1017 00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:44,200 Speaker 1: limited offense, and in Week two it was kind of 1018 00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:46,400 Speaker 1: a similar story. And if the Dolphins have one thing, 1019 00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:49,279 Speaker 1: it's in dominance wu Cameron Wake maybe get a good 1020 00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:51,200 Speaker 1: game out of Mario Williams. I think that's their hope, 1021 00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:52,759 Speaker 1: is that they could have a good defensive line. The 1022 00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,160 Speaker 1: leading rusher for the Dolphins right now is Ryan Tannehill. 1023 00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:59,600 Speaker 1: Not a balanced offense. Ryan Tannehill is not a balanced quarterback. 1024 00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:02,680 Speaker 1: If you will, and let me say something, I listen, 1025 00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:05,440 Speaker 1: I went to Cincinnati last week. Is the team that 1026 00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:08,480 Speaker 1: I thought would be an absolute winner and they failed me. 1027 00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:10,480 Speaker 1: But they will not fail me two weeks in a row. 1028 00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:12,719 Speaker 1: Because guys not only think the Bangals are gonna win, 1029 00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:17,560 Speaker 1: They're gonna be my luck of the week. Don't let 1030 00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:20,439 Speaker 1: me down, Striped Cats, don't. I don't think they will. 1031 00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:23,240 Speaker 1: The Dolphins gave up two total yards of Terrell Prior 1032 00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:26,279 Speaker 1: last week and let made Isaiah Crowell look like a 1033 00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:29,000 Speaker 1: top running back. I mean, this is happening week after 1034 00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:31,000 Speaker 1: week with the Dolphins. And my big issue with them 1035 00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:33,960 Speaker 1: is that the better teams, no matter what happens to them, 1036 00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:36,080 Speaker 1: you're gonna get four quarters out of them. They're not 1037 00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,320 Speaker 1: going to be a different team before and after the 1038 00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:40,520 Speaker 1: half every week, and the Dolphins have been a schizophrenic 1039 00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:43,320 Speaker 1: organization week after week. You're good one, you're good in 1040 00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:44,799 Speaker 1: the first time, you're bad in the first half. You 1041 00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:46,920 Speaker 1: and you're in garbage time, you start to light it up. 1042 00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,320 Speaker 1: Garbage time has a lot to do with it. This 1043 00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:52,480 Speaker 1: is that one year try out potentially for Ryan Tannehill 1044 00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:54,799 Speaker 1: and Adam Gates. I don't think that this is necessarily 1045 00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:58,240 Speaker 1: a long term marriage. I think they would Ryan Tannehill 1046 00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:00,600 Speaker 1: for Ryan Tannehill. I think they would maybe give Adam 1047 00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:03,440 Speaker 1: Gatee the opportunity to draft a new quarterback if he 1048 00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:05,920 Speaker 1: didn't believe in Tannehill. After they're trying to think if 1049 00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,160 Speaker 1: I would like to see chan Gailey and Ryan Tannehill 1050 00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:11,200 Speaker 1: together in the middle ends, that might be crazy enough 1051 00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:13,120 Speaker 1: to work. I would talk myself into it and then 1052 00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:17,160 Speaker 1: probably suffer for multiple years. Um alright around the horn 1053 00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:24,200 Speaker 1: winner and score Mark Sesler Bengals thirty one, Dolphins nineteen 1054 00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:32,160 Speaker 1: nice nice score, Bengals twenty six Dolphins. I will go 1055 00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:37,080 Speaker 1: Bengals and a stinker Thursday Night stinker Bengals, Sorry, n 1056 00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:41,840 Speaker 1: AFIL Network, Dolphins six.

That's provided 1058 00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:48,479 Speaker 1: us so many great memory memories like Cameron Wake's walk 1059 00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:51,799 Speaker 1: off safety. That was a great Remember that one. I'm 1060 00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:56,640 Speaker 1: going to Bengal alright, across the board the Bengals. That's 1061 00:56:56,680 --> 00:57:00,200 Speaker 1: the Thursday Night preview and remember watch the game, yeah, 1062 00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:02,400 Speaker 1: go ahead, watching an NFL network.

I am curious how you would like the 1075 00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:56,440 Speaker 1: listeners because we don't know if Brandon will be back 1076 00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:59,320 Speaker 1: He's a talented guy, and we hope that one day 1077 00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:01,920 Speaker 1: the NFL rings them in in a full time capacity, 1078 00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:04,880 Speaker 1: but we know that could be a challenge around these parts. 1079 00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:07,840 Speaker 1: And he's talented enough to get a good job elsewhere. 1080 00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:09,760 Speaker 1: But we we hope to see you again, but we 1081 00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:11,360 Speaker 1: know this could be the end.
