Speaker 2: some of those tech things we dealt with on Tuesday.

13
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: Apologies again for that fact wrong time. I forgot to

14
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 2: tweet out the link. Now I've done it, thanks to

Speaker 2: Jake and Victor and Daniel and everyone making sure that happened.

16
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: Ton to do today. I was at MSG last night.

17
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 2: I went there to watch Wimby. Instead I just watched

18
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 2: how terrible the Spurs are. We'll discuss that in a moment,

19
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: we have our gambling show. One of the two of

20
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 2: us is coming off not only a winning week, but

21
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 2: what really could have been, should have been, would have

22
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 2: been a five and oh week. The other one is

23
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: on the third longest teaser losing streak in recorded sports

24
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: media history. I'll let you guys guess who's who, but

25
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,559
Speaker 2: we will discuss later in the show. All right, here's

26
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: what missed the Cup. For today's show, Kyler Murray set

27
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: to return with a question about that. Carson Wentz signs

28
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: with the Rams and the Nets fans boo Harden at

29
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 2: Barclays Demansey, I actually want to talk about Kyler coming

30
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: back for the Cardinals for just a moment, because what

31
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: what do you what are you all gotting?

32
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 3: I'm getting it. By the way, are you gonna say

33
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 3: something about the call of duty that's coming out Friday?

34
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 2: Oh No, I didn't even know there's a call of

35
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: duty coming out of Friday.

36
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 3: Friday.

37
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh my goodness, what a bad beat for Kyler

38
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: comes out right when he's got to go back to work. No,

39
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: I didn't know. I did not know that, But that's hilarious.

40
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: Here's what I was going to say, So Jonathan Gannon.

41
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: If he can, he's the coach of the Cardinals, rookie

42
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: head coach. If he can thread the following needle, then

43
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 2: I think maybe he should get Coach of the Year consideration.

44
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: And then what they are and this is what I mean,

45
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 2: Jonathan Gannon. The Cardinals obviously had a plan going into

46
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 2: this year be terrible draft Caleb Williams and that's the plan.

47
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: And also, by the way, have the Texans draft pick

48
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: and the Texans are better than we expected, to draft

49
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: another guy and then hopefully get another good draft pick

50
00:02:54,880 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 2: for Kyler Murray. Now, because he's a new coach, I

51
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: don't think he wanted to come in and immediately have

52
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: it be like this team has no hope, they got

53
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: no chance. So they beat the Cowboys in Week three,

54
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: throw everyone off the tanking scent, and now all of

55
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: a sudden, we wake up in week ten and they're like, wait,

56
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: they haven't won since then. So now what the Cardinals

57
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: need to do is bring Kyler back, have him play

58
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: well enough that he is worth a first round pick

59
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: to someone while maintaining the number one pick. So they

60
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: need to have their quarterback play pretty well and look healthy,

61
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: not win any games, and If they do that, they

62
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: are set up beautifully for the future, and all believe that,

63
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: all believe in Jonathan Gannon despite his odd who took

64
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 2: the Boss press conference. I'm very interested, and I'm interested

65
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 2: if Kyler comes back, looks great or looks good even

66
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: and they end up with the third pick, and then

67
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: it's like, do you pivot entirely and instead of going quarterback,

68
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 2: stick with Kyler, draft Marvin Harrison Junior and go from there.

69
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 2: It's a very fascinating situation in Arizona. So a quick

70
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 2: little take there on what missed the cut. Now let's

71
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 2: get into the show.

72
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 3: Demansey, all right, so you were really low on Wimby

73
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: at one point, and it seemed like this season, okay.

74
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: I not hauled on, so you can't start the show

75
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 2: off with lies. I thought that Folks putting his floor

76
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 2: at a chem Olajuan was maybe gonna be a little

77
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 2: too much pressure on the nineteen year old French kid.

78
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 2: I was never low on Wimby. I just wasn't as

79
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 2: astronomically high as others. Now go ahead.

80
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 3: One might argue that's kind of low, but uh.

81
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 2: Well so in reference in comparison to others, Shore Go ahead.

82
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you went to the game last night and

83
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 3: he did really poorly. Did seeing him in person and

84
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 3: put up that performance give you a different type of

85
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 3: perspective on him or are you still at the same.

86
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: Well, listen, he he had a by a rookie standards,

87
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 2: a legendary performance one week ago.

88
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 3: Today.

89
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 2: The game he had against Phoenix out playing KD going

90
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 2: thirty eight and ten, being a monster defensively made I

91
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 2: think all of us stop and be like, oh my god, like,

92
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 2: what is this guy not going to be eventually? What

93
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 2: is he right now? Because and Wilds made this point.

94
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: They played Durant in back to back games, and you

95
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 2: kind of saw in the first game he was a

96
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 2: little shaky in the first half and then by the

97
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 2: second half had figured some things out. And then when

98
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 2: they played him again a couple days later, all of

99
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: a sudden, he's the best player on the court. And

100
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 2: it's like is he learning in real time? Like artificial

101
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 2: intelligence and like you know all the you know, like, oh, okay,

102
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 2: so this is how you play Kevin Durant when I

103
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 2: get him again, and people were really I mean, Tom Haberstrow,

104
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: where I have a lot of respect for, was talking

105
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 2: about how there was great value on him to be

106
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 2: the NBA's MVP this year at like forty five to one,

107
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: So we all did get maybe a little ahead of ourselves.

108
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 2: We did a game on the show where I put

109
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 2: up jail would you rather have not for the future,

110
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 2: but for this season, and the names I wimby or

111
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 2: and we did. Jalen Brown, we did Kevin Durant was

112
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 2: one of them. The we didn't do Tatum. I tried

113
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 2: to do guys that I thought I'm trying to think of.

114
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: We didn't do Lebron, we did Kawhi uh and it

115
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: is but it was like that caliber of player we did,

116
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of everyone that with Jimmy Butler,

117
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, we did like guys in

118
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: that seven to twenty five range in the league. And

119
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 2: I mean Brew took him over KD. After that game,

120
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: It's like, how could you not? Okay? So he since then,

121
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 2: he and the Spurs have not been good at all.

122
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 2: They haven't won. Last night, he came out firing, he

123
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: didn't hit his early shots, and then he seemed to

124
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: lose a bit of confidence. But all so, here are

125
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: my big takeaways from watching him on every single possession,

126
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: he goes seven eight possession stretches without touching the ball.

127
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 2: The Bill Simmons made this point prior to yesterday, and

128
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 2: he's one thousand percent right. The Spurs desperately need a

129
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 2: point guard. They have Jeremy Sohan, who's a small forward

130
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: running point for them. No one knows how to get

131
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 2: wimby the basketball, and that's a little frustrating. The other

132
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: thing that is true is this he he does right

133
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 2: now despite his size, He just has no inside offensive

134
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: game whatsoever other than rim runs and putbacks, Like you

135
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 2: can't give him the ball and just have him go

136
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 2: to work, and we know he can't lean on people.

137
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 2: But what I found so interesting watching him, at least yesterday,

138
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 2: is maybe because he missed those first or few shots,

139
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 2: he was when he did get the ball on the perimeter,

140
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 2: he seemed to be trying to go by people when

141
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 2: it felt like the whole idea of why he's going

142
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 2: to be so transcendent is he can just shoot over everyone.

143
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 2: And he either was hesitant to last night or it

144
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 2: just didn't have it. And I don't want to overreact

145
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: one night, but what it definitely did do was took

146
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: him out of the game a bit. Defensively, he didn't

147
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 2: make an impact defensively that one could see in that game,

148
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 2: and offensively he was a negative. Now you remind yourself

149
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 2: he's nineteen years old and that was his eighth career

150
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 2: NBA game. But for people that were arguing, should the

151
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: Spurs have been a little more aggressive this offseason, I

152
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 2: didn't think they should because you don't want to try

153
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: to microwave this. But for his development, them having an

154
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 2: actual adult point guard I think could be incredibly useful,

155
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 2: like a guy like a Mike Conley, or it doesn't

156
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: have to be a great player, just someone that can

157
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 2: come in and orchestrate things, because I mean, Doug McDermott's

158
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 2: out there running and gunning, so hand is trying to

159
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 2: play out a position. I mean, the Spurs are a bad,

160
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 2: bad team. So it was fascinating to watch the most

161
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 2: stunning moment of the night, honestly, because when you're watching

162
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 2: the game, because of like guys at different depths and

163
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 2: perspective or whatever. You can tell who the tallest guy is,

164
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,599
Speaker 2: but it's you don't really have the exact right perspective

165
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 2: on it. The most stunning moment was the national Anthem.

166
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: I know it sounds ridiculous, but it's because all the

167
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 2: guys are lined up next to each other and Wimby

168
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 2: looked make believe, he looked like how one of the

169
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 2: like NBA guys look when they go to like see

170
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 2: people at a school and they take a picture with

171
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 2: the administration. It's like, oh, there's Kevin Durant and then

172
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 2: there's regular people. But he was standing next to well, yeah,

173
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 2: I mean it's it's really that part was remarkable. He

174
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 2: had a really rough game. But listen, I picked Scoot

175
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 2: Henderson for Rookie of the Year and we haven't talked

176
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 2: much about him. And the reason we haven't talked much

177
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 2: about him is because he hasn't got it going. Scoot

178
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 2: so far this year is I'll give you his numbers exactly.

179
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 2: He's only played five games because he got hurt. He's

180
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 2: given you eight points, four and a half assists on

181
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 2: thirty five percent from the field and nine percent from three.

182
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 2: So it's listen, tough life for ye long season, tough

183
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 2: early on for rookies. There have been some rookies. Derek

184
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 2: Lively for the MAVs has been really good. There have

185
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 2: been some the obviously the thunder of two excellent rookies.

186
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 2: Caseon Wallace and then Chet, who's like a rookiecause he

187
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 2: didn't play last year but was let the previous year's

188
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 2: draft class. Chet's been excellent. Now Chet is a guy

189
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 2: I was very down on who thus far has been excellent.

190
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 2: And so we'll see all right next.

191
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 3: All right, So it seems like the longer lebron On

192
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 3: stays in the league, the more disrespect he gains. He's

193
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 3: getting disrespect from players, panelists. The refs of Dylan Brooks

194
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 3: held him to eighteen points last night, locked him up.

195
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 3: Like you said, if he's still playing at a high level,

196
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 3: why is the disrespect only growing from fans?

197
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 2: So think all right, so let's talk about the refs

198
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 2: thing for a moment. This is not even a controversial opinion.

199
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 2: This is backed up by the data. One of the

200
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,479
Speaker 2: I forget which site it was, but actually just compiled

201
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 2: the in the last eight years. You know, the NBA

202
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 2: does those last two minute reports. What player has been disadvantage,

203
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 2: what player has had more calls be wrong calls by

204
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 2: the NBA's own reports, No players had more calls go

205
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 2: against them than Lebron James at the end of these games,

206
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 2: and even when you do well, how many did he.

207
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 3: Have go for him?

208
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 2: He is more in the negative than any player in

209
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 2: the league. I think Embiid set Embids the opposite. Embiids

210
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 2: had more things go his way that the refs then say, hey,

211
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: he got the wrong whistle in his favor. There is

212
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 2: a level of and last year the data back this

213
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 2: up as well of if you take all the play

214
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 2: and people are like, well, it's because Lebron's shooting so

215
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 2: many more threes. If you take all the players, the

216
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 2: league leaders, and either points at the rim, points in

217
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 2: the paint, or shots in the paint, Lebron last year

218
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 2: and the year before and this year it's very early,

219
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 2: was the lowest and free throw rate, so you're talking

220
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 2: about attacking guys, guys going to the basket. He just

221
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 2: hasn't been getting calls, and there is an element of

222
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 2: that he has lost. I think some of the luster

223
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: of this is the down best player in the game.

224
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 2: He needs a beneficial whistle, like every best player. Jordan

225
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 2: got it, Kobe got it, Yeah, anyone in the discussion

226
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 2: for all time legend at their apex, Giannis can get

227
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 2: it to an agree he doesn't get that anymore because

228
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 2: he's older, but he's still so physically imposing that guys

229
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 2: slap him on the arm when he's going up for

230
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 2: a layup and it doesn't seem like it affects him

231
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 2: the way it would affect other guys. So that is frustrating,

232
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 2: and I think it's incredibly frustrating for Lebron and the

233
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 2: Lakers are right that it's not just like Laker fans

234
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 2: being like, oh, the refs are against us. By the data,

235
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 2: he has had a very tough whistle for his entire

236
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 2: Lakers tenure. That's first thing as far as player's going

237
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 2: at him, it's the only player that's really going on

238
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 2: this years Dylan Brooks, and guy's a clown. This is clown.

239
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks has lost the right to be taken seriously.

240
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 2: He lost it in the series against What what are

241
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 2: you wincing about? Tell me, tell me why.

242
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 3: Dylan Brooks isn't having a bad year.

243
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 2: No, no, no, He's actually having an excellent year. But when

244
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 2: you Dylan Brooks, when you say the things he said

245
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 2: in the playoff series against the Lakers and then run

246
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 2: from the media and then cry saying I don't know

247
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: why everyone is calling me a villain. The media has

248
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 2: done this, and then introduce yourself repeatedly, is Dylan the villain?

249
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 2: And or the last time you played Lebron you got

250
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 2: kicked out of the game for punching him in the balls,

251
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 2: and then this time you're like, I'm gonna lock him up.

252
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 2: You're a clown. You're a clown, and you don't deserve

253
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 2: to be discussed. Like, the only reason we talk about

254
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks more than one hundred and fifty other guys

255
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 2: in the league is because he just talks like he's

256
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 2: a star. He's just the obvious manifestation of the evolution

257
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 2: or I should say evolution of Patrick Beverley. Exactly right,

258
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 2: It's a clown. Now we the media stuff. I don't know,

259
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 2: like everyone was. It seemed like on a lot of

260
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 2: shows the would Lebron have been the same guy with

261
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 2: or without Miami? Did he need Miami? Everyone was a

262
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 2: lot more interested in that discussion than I was. Like,

263
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 2: what I do think is it is possible that without Miami,

264
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 2: Lebron's career would not have gone this long. I think

265
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 2: that if those four years in the apex prime of

266
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 2: his career he didn't have. He didn't go to Miami

267
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: learn what he learned from that organization, be around Spolstra

268
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 2: and maybe most importantly, for the only four year stretch

269
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 2: of his entire career, could was he on a team

270
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 2: that if he went to the bench, they could survive

271
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 2: and he didn't have to play these crazy minutes things

272
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 2: like that. I don't know if he'd still be at

273
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 2: this level in year twenty one. He was already one

274
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 2: of the greatest players ever before he went to Miami.

275
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 2: Before he into Miami, he was a two time League MVP,

276
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 2: four time All NBA First Team, two times second Team,

277
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 2: and had taken a team to the finals at age

278
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 2: twenty two and had had a playoff run where he

279
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 2: averaged thirty five points a game. Now, he wasn't a

280
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 2: champion yet, and if people believe well, he wouldn't have

281
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 2: won any championships if he hadn't gone to Miami. I

282
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 2: think that's crazy. Would he have had the same number?

283
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 3: I don't know.

284
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 2: He won two in those four years, but everything about

285
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 2: his career changes after that. Does he go somewhere else?

286
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 2: Does he stay in Cleveland? If he stays in Cleveland,

287
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 2: they never get Kyrie Irving. They don't get you know,

288
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 2: Kevin Love. It's the whole thing's different. So I don't know.

289
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 2: What I do know is there are certain guys across

290
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 2: sports history, particularly in the NBA, that we're going to

291
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 2: be all time great legends no matter what. Lebron obviously

292
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 2: is on that shortest of short lists. Now, like let

293
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 2: me be, people could say, what would Kareem's career have

294
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 2: been if he didn't go to the Lakers. Well, it's

295
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 2: an interesting question because Kareem had already won won one

296
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 2: championship and won one finals MVP, and won multiple MVPs

297
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 2: with the Bucks. But he then won what four more MVPs,

298
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 2: five more championships, and went to nine more finals with

299
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: the Lakers. So I don't know what you know the

300
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,959
Speaker 2: career would have been. I do know that Lebron's career

301
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 2: could not have possibly worked out better. In my opinion,

302
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 2: he's the greatest athlete ever and so every decision along

303
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 2: the way, I don't think you could have been like

304
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 2: this decision it would have worked out better for him.

305
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 2: I don't think. I don't think there could be a

306
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 2: better outcome than the story of you get drafted to

307
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 2: your hometown team. You're within a year in the discussion

308
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 2: for the best player in the league. Take him to

309
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 2: the final, lose to a legend in Tim Duncan. The

310
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:09,959
Speaker 2: Boston Celtics, a legendary organization, creates the first modern super

311
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: team because of you, because you're there and they need

312
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 2: to get past you. You then can't get past that

313
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 2: super team that was created to defeat you. You go

314
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 2: to Miami, a team that has a guy, a friend

315
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 2: of yours in your draft class, who had already teamed

316
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 2: up with a legend in Shaquille O'Neil to win a championship.

317
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 2: You guys, immediately make the finals and you have the

318
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 2: one and only true failure of your career. It humbles

319
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 2: you to a degree, it makes you a better basketball player,

320
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 2: and then from that moment on you reel off the

321
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 2: greatest decade of basketball anyone's ever played. In the next

322
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 2: ten years, you can squint, you can argue, But in

323
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 2: the next nine years, I should say, you make the

324
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 2: NBA Finals eight times games. You have the longest winning

325
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 2: streak in the history of the league. You or in

326
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 2: the second longest wing streak pardon me, in the history

327
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 2: of the league. You are involved in one of the

328
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 2: greatest game sixes in game sevens of the finals ever.

329
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 2: You then go back home, you have the greatest comeback

330
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: in Finals history. Sandwiched around the greatest comeback in Finals history,

331
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 2: you have the greatest series in a losing effort in

332
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 2: Finals history, the thirty six, thirteen and nine with your

333
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 2: teammates injured, and then on the back end of it,

334
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 2: the single greatest game in Finals history, the fifty one

335
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 2: to eight to eight in Game one against Durant and

336
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 2: those guys, the greatest individual playoff run in NBA history,

337
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 2: the twenty eighteen playoffs where he had eight to forty

338
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 2: point games. You then go to the greatest organization in

339
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 2: the history of the league that, for the first time

340
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 2: in its seventy year career or you know, seventy year existence,

341
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 2: is in a downswing, hasn't made the playoffs in six years,

342
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 2: and within a year you win a title for him,

343
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 2: And then in that uniform, you become the NBA's all

344
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 2: time leading scorer, breaking the record of a legend from

345
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 2: that organization. And now in you're twenty one, you're still

346
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 2: the best player on your team and one of the

347
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 2: best players in the league. There is no, it's not like, well,

348
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,719
Speaker 2: but if he'd have gone to Chicago, Wuddy would have

349
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 2: not that, not that, and so uh I think it

350
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 2: worked out pretty well. All right.

351
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 3: Next, I guess I just listen.

352
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 2: It's just an accurate telling of this tale. It's just,

353
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 2: you know, I I am if nothing else, I am,

354
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,199
Speaker 2: you know, an arbiter of truth and fairness, and uh

355
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 2: it's important to be you know, have somebody out there

356
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 2: that is going to tell the true story. And what's

357
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 2: a better story than a guy being immediately great, can't

358
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 2: get over the hump, tasting real failure, reaching the absolute pinnacle,

359
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 2: going back home over what was considered an insurmountable deficit,

360
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 2: and then saying new challenge, going to the greatest organization

361
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 2: ever that was in total shambles and instantly delivering them

362
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 2: a championship, and now being literally the oldest player in

363
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 2: the league and still one of the best players in

364
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 2: the league. Never seen anything like it.

365
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 3: Next, all right, So the forty nine Ers and Jags

366
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 3: are gonna face off. Both teams are coming off of bye.

367
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 3: The Jaguars are obviously on the five game winning streak

368
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 3: and the forty nine Ers are on the three game

369
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 3: losing streak. So is this the ultimate setup for a

370
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 3: Nick was right situation with Perty facing off versus Trevor Lawrence.

371
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 2: It feels like it, doesn't it. I mean, if after

372
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 2: this weekend and it's the biggest game of the weekend,

373
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 2: this weekend slate is not great at all. Last weekend

374
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 2: had an amazing slate. This weekend slate is not a

375
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 2: group of great games. It's the it's the marquee game.

376
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 2: And if the Jags get to seven and two while

377
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 2: the Niners fall to five and four, and it's because

378
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 2: Trevor cooks and Purty struggles and all of a sudden

379
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 2: within a month the same you know what's gonna be

380
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 2: glorious if and when this happens. By the way, it's

381
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 2: a tough game. Niners still an excellent team. They're coming

382
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 2: off the by they should be healthier. You know, this

383
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 2: is a big test for the Jags. No team in

384
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 2: the league this year has had a winning streak longer

385
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 2: than six games. They're trying to get it to six

386
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 2: like they're yeah, they're trying to what are they? Yeah,

387
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 2: they're trying to get it to six games. That would

388
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 2: be right. So listen, this is by no means is

389
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 2: this like, oh a layup win. The Niners are still

390
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 2: a really good team, but nothing will be more satisfying

391
00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 2: for me then if the Jags win. Watching the same

392
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 2: my same colleagues, some of which I host a show with,

393
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 2: many of which you know what I mean, or on

394
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 2: other networks that I like and respect, having on Monday

395
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 2: morning a month after they were talking on their shows

396
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 2: or on our show, is brock Perty the NFL's MVP.

397
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 2: The topic will be is Trevor Lawrence the NFL's MVP,

398
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 2: And the follow up question is could brock Perty be benched?

399
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 2: I'm letting you know right now we are one Jags

400
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 2: win away from that being a conversation. Now. I also

401
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 2: want to make this clear, I do not think Trevor's

402
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 2: the NFL MVP. I do think if they win this

403
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 2: game and get to seven and two in a year,

404
00:24:55,480 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 2: there is no standout runaway MVP favorite. It will be

405
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 2: a discussion. And I am not saying you should bench

406
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 2: brock Party for Sam Darnold, but I am saying if

407
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 2: you're the Niners and you've lost four in a row.

408
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 3: EP by the way, but who is Sorry Lamar Jackson,

409
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 3: but I get it like they do the whole mate.

410
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 2: I mean Lamar right now, right now, I think Lamar.

411
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 2: If the voting were today, I think Lamar would win it.

412
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 2: It would also be an the reason for a quarterback

413
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,719
Speaker 2: who has nine passing touchdowns through nine games, you can say, oh,

414
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 2: well running two okay, so fourteen total touchdowns because he

415
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 2: is five rushing through nine games. That would be a

416
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 2: below average MVP season. Does that make sense? Like if

417
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 2: you look at guys who've won MVPs over the last

418
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 2: few years, there's not one. There's not an Aaron Rodgers

419
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 2: with thirty eight touchdowns, six picks, Mahomes leading the league

420
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 2: in points and yards and touchdowns. There isn't one, no

421
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 2: doubt candidate, you could make a great Lar. I'm not

422
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 2: arguing against it. I actually we talked on the show

423
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 2: because there's no standout candidate. Could Joe Burrow get back

424
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 2: in the conversation even though he was terrible for five

425
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 2: weeks because he was hurt. The answer is probably yes.

426
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 2: Like everyone talked about how bad the Chiefs offense has been,

427
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 2: Mahomes right now is the favorite to win the award

428
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 2: because there's no standout. So that that's why Trevor despite

429
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 2: his numbers. I think he has eight touchdowns passing touchdowns

430
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 2: this year, maybe nine, Like his passing numbers have not

431
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 2: been super gaudy, and he obviously doesn't run as well

432
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,479
Speaker 2: as Lamar. I do think with the Ravens, the biggest

433
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 2: story of the Ravens season so far is and we're

434
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 2: I guess we'll get to it in a second, but

435
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 2: is their defense more than Lamar as good as Lamar

436
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 2: has been. Point I'm making is if the Jags win,

437
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 2: first of all, Trumpeters live and in person on first

438
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 2: things first, Second of all, uh is Trevor Lawrence the

439
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 2: NFL MVP will be a talking point, and should the

440
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 2: Niners give Sam Donald a look will be a talking point.

441
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 2: By the way, I won't argue for either. I don't

442
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 2: think Trevor's the MVP even if they win, not yet,

443
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 2: And I don't think that the Niners should go to

444
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 2: Donald even if Party plays terribly, But that will be

445
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 2: a talking point from the very same people that are

446
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 2: trying to convince me brock Perty was the NFL's MVP.

447
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 2: Let me ask you one other question before we move on.

448
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 2: If Party fully falters and also given what pre and

449
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 2: you know sad he got hurt, but what Daniel Jones

450
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 2: was looking like before he got hurt. If both of

451
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 2: those things happen next football season, if we're fortunate enough

452
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 2: to still be doing this, will you take my quarterback?

453
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 2: I need to see more. I don't don't quite trust

454
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 2: them opinions a little more seriously, or will you still

455
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 2: just think I'm an unrepentant hater. I'm asking you specifically

456
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 2: storing both of these.

457
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, it'd be that'd be very fair. I feel like

458
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 3: I wouldn't call it stupid, but it'd be kind of

459
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 3: ignorant to ignore that. But uh but yeah, no, I

460
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 3: definitely I might kind of where I need more test samples.

461
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:31,360
Speaker 3: But but yeah, there you go. I like it.

462
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, go ahead.

463
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, So does does it offend you or all? Or

464
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 3: like a little hurt that Trevor Lawrence has no idea

465
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 3: that like you call him the prince that was promised

466
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 3: like he kind of like shows me.

467
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,719
Speaker 2: I didn't like that. I got listen. I'll be honest,

468
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 2: I I didn't like any part of it. I listen now.

469
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 2: Sam Pepper used to produce He used to produce My

470
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 2: TV show. He now works for Omaha productions, and I

471
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 2: think he don't know, but I think he probably had

472
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 2: a hand in that question being asked. Was trying to

473
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 2: do me a solid every single part if people didn't

474
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 2: see it. Peyton asks Trevor Lawrence a question and he

475
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 2: says Nick right from Fox. And by the way, the

476
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 2: way he said it, it was not like the next

477
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 2: words out of his mouth were gonna be like, Oh,

478
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 2: I love that guy. It was more like who is this?

479
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 2: Like that was from like it was very clear Peyton.

480
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 3: Peyton also said when Trevor said that he had no

481
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 3: idea about it, or does he go by that? And

482
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 3: Trevor said no, and Peyton was like, good.

483
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he was. He asked him if so, Peyton says,

484
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 2: Nick Wright from Fox Sports, you know, has called you

485
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 2: the prince that was promised. It's also your nickname on

486
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 2: Pro Football Reference? Has this name called on in the

487
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 2: locker room? And Trevor said, knowing that he'd never heard it,

488
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 2: and Peyton said good, and then they left. And I

489
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 2: will admit, at first demonse that was sad and disappointing,

490
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 2: and then I realized he's just a humble prince, which

491
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 2: we need more of. He didn't you know what I mean.

492
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 3: He did.

493
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 2: He was humble and didn't want to draw more attention

494
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 2: to himself, so I understood.

495
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 3: All right, next, All right, then, Currently the entire AFC

496
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 3: North holds a playoff spot, with the Ravings leading the way.

497
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 3: Obviously a predicted team that fits for each of these

498
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 3: categories by the seasons in division winner strong five seed,

499
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 3: fighting for the seven seed, or misses playoffs completely.

500
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 2: All right, the the smart the logical order would be this,

501
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 2: The Ravens hold on to win the division, the Bengals

502
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 2: are a terrifying five seed, the Browns get the fight

503
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 2: for the seven, and the Steelers miss the playoffs completely.

504
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,959
Speaker 2: That's the logical smart if you've been watching them up

505
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 2: to this point order of how it's going to go,

506
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 2: I do not think it's going to go that way.

507
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 2: I think that something funky is gonna happen with either

508
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 2: Baltimore or Sinsey. I don't know which, but I just

509
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 2: I feel like right now people are getting a little

510
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 2: ahead of themselves that we know.

511
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 3: Like speak it into existence. I think something's funky gonna happen.

512
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 2: Come on, dude, well, I just I've been doing this

513
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 2: too long to not have my antenna go up when

514
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 2: everyone in the media this prematurely has the same opinion,

515
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 2: and everyone in the media has.

516
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 3: Essentially prematurely I means just prematurely to the posts.

517
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 2: And yet well, it's just a ton of football left,

518
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 2: a ton of football left. We played half of the

519
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 2: season remains half like as much has been played, that

520
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 2: much is left. And there is when everyone is in

521
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 2: agreement seemingly that the AFC North is gonna come down

522
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 2: to Baltimore in sensey, and when it's it's one thing

523
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 2: if these two like if you were to be like, well,

524
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 2: the nfcast is gonna come down to Philly in Dallas,

525
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 2: it's like, well, the Giants are you know, almost mathematically

526
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 2: eliminated already, and Washington's trading away its players. Got it.

527
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 2: But when the Steelers have underperformed as much as they

528
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 2: have on offense and are still five and three, it

529
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:55,719
Speaker 2: makes you pause. When the Browns are getting d level

530
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 2: play from the quarterback position and are still right there,

531
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 2: you pause. And when you recognize that the Ravens have

532
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 2: been six and three or better every year. Lamar has

533
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 2: been a starter and it has gone sideways on them

534
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 2: multiple times. Now, people are like, well, that's because of injury. Agreed,

535
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 2: but I think that is just one of the concerns.

536
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 2: But the other reason that I'm just pumping the brakes

537
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 2: on it a bit is this, here is the Ravens,

538
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 2: and I'll then do the Bengals remaining schedule. And by

539
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 2: the way, the same can be said about the Browns

540
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 2: and the Steelers to a degree. But here's my question

541
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 2: for you, Demanse, because I'm gonna read it off to you.

542
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 3: I see him, so I'm.

543
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 2: Gonna read it off and my only question is how

544
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 2: many easy spots do they have? So they are home

545
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 2: for the Browns, home for the Bengals, at the Chargers,

546
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 2: home for the Rams, at the Jags, at the Niners,

547
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 2: home for the Dolphins, home for the Steelers. How many

548
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 2: easy spots do you count there? Because I know how many,

549
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 2: I can.

550
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 3: Say, like kind of one and a half. I think

551
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 3: will take care of that, But Chargers, I'm not like,

552
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 3: I feel like we'll take care of that. But same time,

553
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 3: it can be a little frisky.

554
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 2: Exactly that is that is the exact math I did.

555
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 2: The Rams are the one game where you're like, the

556
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 2: Rams are cooked. They cannot block Baltimore. They cannot And

557
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 2: then the Chargers. You want that to be an easy game.

558
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 2: But that was at the Chargers, right, And so it's

559
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 2: like Baltimore going all the way to the West coast,

560
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 2: weird spot the Chargers. You just never know what you're

561
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,760
Speaker 2: gonna get to them on a week to week basis.

562
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 3: We don't know who the Dolphins are yet, and I mean,

563
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 3: and we're a good team. So it's like when the Dolphins.

564
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 2: Oh that's fair and that's correct, and that's in Baltimore, right,

565
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 2: So in Baltimore in January or yeah, into December or January.

566
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 2: But you follow me that. It's not a there are

567
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 2: no like, oh, okay, lock up three wins, all right, now,

568
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 2: we're gonna do Cincinnati do the same thing. Tell me

569
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 2: the easy games home for the Texans, at the Ravens,

570
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 2: home for the Steelers, at the Jaguars, home for the Colts,

571
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 2: home for the Vikings, at the Steelers, at the Chiefs,

572
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 2: home for the Browns. So how many easy games do

573
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:26,919
Speaker 2: you count?

574
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 3: There? About two and a half maybe with so actually

575
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 3: with the Tech, I mean, Texans be in the half.

576
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 3: Vikings and Colts I've seen them easily get.

577
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,280
Speaker 2: But Vikings and Colts are the easy are the two games.

578
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 2: I counted the Texans spot and we'll get to it

579
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 2: when we do our picks in a minute. You don't know.

580
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 2: And when you when you're the Bengals and you had

581
00:35:55,120 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 2: basically four consecutive season on the line games one in

582
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 2: three and you're in Arizona, You're season's on the line,

583
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 2: even though it's early because you're playing the Cardinals. You're

584
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 2: one and three. You get that win? Yeah, then two

585
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 2: and three, okay, home for the Seahawks, get that win,

586
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 2: and then I guess season one on the line anymore.

587
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 2: But massive spots at the Niners home for the Bills,

588
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,439
Speaker 2: and next week the division is on the line because

589
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 2: you've already lost to Baltimore at the Ravens. The Texans

590
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 2: are like the vintage trap game spot and Jamar Chase

591
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 2: is banged up and all of a sudden, T Higgins mispracticed.

592
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,240
Speaker 2: So I don't consider the Texans right now an easy

593
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 2: spot at all. Texans meanwhile flying so high off there

594
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 2: insane win. So moral of the story is, I think,

595
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 2: to use a you know, a term from political parlance,

596
00:36:55,520 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 2: I think it's too early to call the AFSCO. I

597
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 2: just think, yeah, and and here is the other thing

598
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 2: that and I know you don't You're gonna say I

599
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 2: shouldn't speak this into existence, and I'm not trying to.

600
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 2: But the other thing that would concern me if I

601
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:18,760
Speaker 2: were any of these four AFC North teams is having

602
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 2: games this man, if well, the Bengals in particular, having

603
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 2: Raven Steelers, Steelers Brows four games remaining against divisional rivals,

604
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 2: all of which that have awesome defenses and want to

605
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 2: hit the you would really give me anxiety about what

606
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 2: is even if my team can get rolling, what shape

607
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,479
Speaker 2: are we going to be in physically by the time

608
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 2: the playoffs start? And for if you're the Bengals, your

609
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 2: final three games of the year being at Pittsburgh at

610
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 2: Kansas City home for the Browns, three of the best

611
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 2: defenses in the league in cold weather, it's a tough spot,

612
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 2: man well, and so take.

613
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 3: Care of the next three games. I feel like if

614
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 3: they if they can come out of the next three

615
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 3: games two and one, maybe I'd say we're in pretty

616
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 3: good shape. And honestly, I think my fear to bench

617
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 3: lamar towards the end of the year.

618
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 2: Well, probably not if you're trying to get the one seed,

619
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 2: but maybe the you know I have. I've always thought

620
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 2: actually the best thing that for a team, that a

621
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 2: team could have going for him if they can't get

622
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 2: the one seed is to actually be eliminated from contention

623
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 2: for it. So in week eighteen, what you don't want

624
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 2: in week eighteen. Let's say you're the Ravens and you're

625
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 2: in this scenario in week eighteen, if we win and

626
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 2: Kansas City loses to the Chargers, we get the one seed.

627
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,240
Speaker 2: You don't want to be in that, se Anario. I

628
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 2: it's I understand you're like, oh, well, it could happen,

629
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 2: But then you go all out play all your guys.

630
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,280
Speaker 2: The Chiefs win anyway, you're in the two. You'd almost

631
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 2: now what you'd rather is it flatly be if we win,

632
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 2: we're the one seed. We don't need anything else. We win,

633
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 2: we're the one seed, or have it locked obviously, But

634
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 2: the next best thing is this, we can't be the

635
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,800
Speaker 2: one seed. The Chiefs have it locked. We're not getting

636
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 2: the buye. And then you give yourself your own buy

637
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 2: in week eighteen and rest your guys like, who cares

638
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 2: if we fall to the three? We just don't you

639
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 2: know what I mean? We want to give ourselves a

640
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 2: bye week. And what you don't want is to think

641
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 2: you're playing for something, go all out and then you

642
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 2: know then not get it and have.

643
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:46,479
Speaker 3: To play the very next week.

644
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 2: But the AFC North point of the story is the

645
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,959
Speaker 2: AFC North is gonna be. I mean, it's the most

646
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 2: interesting and tightly contested division and I don't know what's

647
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 2: gonna happen there. All right, quick break to our gambling

Speaker 2: Nick Wright Week ten Gambling Show. I told you last week, Demons,

668
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 2: I felt good about the picks. We not only had

669
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 2: a winning week, but zero bad picks. Let me, well,

670
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 2: you know the the I mean, I understand what you're saying,

671
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 2: but yeah, I mean the royal We Kansas City minus

672
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 2: a point and a half against Miami. They're of twenty

673
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 2: one to nothing at a halftime, or covering the entire game.

674
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay plus three at Houston. I thought that was

675
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,760
Speaker 2: going to be a disgusting push. Did you see, Demonse?

676
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:45,280
Speaker 2: What so Houston is winning? Baker leads an amazing drive

677
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 2: down the field, throws a strike. Tampa is now all

678
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 2: of a sudden up four with forty five seconds left. CJ.

679
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 2: Stroud then drives Houston down. They score, But Houston in

680
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 2: that game, their kicker had gotten hurt, so they were

681
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 2: going for two. They had the backup running back kicking

682
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 2: field goals. All thing well, right, he had a field goal,

683
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 2: but up to with six seconds left. Demigo ryans, this

684
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,800
Speaker 2: is not just because he got me the cover. Did's

685
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 2: this right thing, which was he was nervous to kick

686
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 2: an extra point because he is a backup kicker, and

687
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 2: he didn't want to go for two because if you

688
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 2: you're up to, if you turn it over, the other

689
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 2: team can return it for two points and it's a

690
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 2: tie game. So he did something that has rarely been

691
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 2: done in NFL history, but is smart, even smarter than

692
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 2: kicking the extra point there because it could be blocked

693
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 2: and returned. He took a knee on the extra point,

694
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:52,320
Speaker 2: so which you never see but was the sharp play

695
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:56,240
Speaker 2: and made my Tampa plus three cover now Atlanta minus

696
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 2: four and a half against Minnesota. DeMont, Yeah, I think

697
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 2: he's been excellent. Demond's eight. You know, tried to talk

698
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 2: me out of He's like, you keep fading these quarterbacks

699
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 2: just based on the fact their quarterbacks you keep losing.

700
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 2: Here's the deal. The quarterback I was fading, Jaren Hall

701
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 2: immediately got injured, and then Josh Dobbs comes in and Cooks.

702
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have laid four and a half points with

703
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 2: Taylor Heineke against Josh Dobbs. Josh Dobbs is legit. Aila

704
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 2: was laying four and a half points with Taylor Heineke

705
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 2: against Jaren Hall. Jaren Hall got injured. Not fair, but whatever.

706
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 2: Dallas plus three against Philly. If Dak doesn't step out,

707
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 2: you know we're covering. They still have a chance to

708
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 2: win outright. I don't feel badly about that pick. I

709
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 2: feel like taking the points to the right side there.

710
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,280
Speaker 2: And the Chargers minds three and a half against the Jets.

711
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 2: They annihilated him, so that's three and two. So that

712
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 2: means despite the fact that on TV it's been shaky,

713
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 2: and despite the fact that we have not you know,

714
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 2: had the monster weak yet Demanse, we're just twenty one

715
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 2: and twenty four, which means we are minus five point

716
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:14,800
Speaker 2: four units on the year, So one perfect week away

717
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 2: from being above five hundred and the picks and being

718
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 2: right at even almost in the actual dollars. And this

719
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:28,479
Speaker 2: is the exact situation we found ourselves in last year

720
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 2: before we got red hot to finish the year. I

721
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 2: do believe last year, after nine weeks we were twenty

722
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 2: one and twenty four. Now we've gotten here this year

723
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 2: on a somewhat circuitous path. Last year I think we

724
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 2: had some own five, some five and oh's. This year

725
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 2: it has simply literally been, I believe two and three

726
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 2: or three and two every single week. If we go

727
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 2: four and one, we're at five hundred. If we go

728
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 2: five and oh, we're above five hundred. Let's get going.

729
00:44:58,120 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 2: What's my first pick of the week.

730
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,839
Speaker 3: First pick is Jacksonville plus three versus San Francisco.

731
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 2: All right, so they're both coming off of bye, so

732
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 2: that's a wash. San Francisco traveling cross country for a

733
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 2: one o'clock start, tough spot. Brock Purdy has not been

734
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 2: a good road quarterback this year. Doug Peterson seven and

735
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 2: one last eight games against the spread as an underdog,

736
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence whenever he has extended rest, three and oh,

737
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 2: straight up and against the spread. And I simply think

738
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 2: that this Niners defense right now is a touch overrated

739
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 2: now and I think that there are right right now

740
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 2: real cracks in the armor for that Niners offense. Now,

741
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 2: obviously this is a game where the injury report is

742
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 2: going to matter a ton if you check the forty

743
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 2: nine ers injury report, and this is where doing the

744
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 2: picks Thursday morning is tough. But Trent Williams is still

745
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 2: not practicing, so that is highly concerning for San Francisco. Now,

746
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 2: fortunately for them, uh Deebo Samuel was a full participant,

747
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 2: so he will be back. The Jags injury report is

748
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:19,240
Speaker 2: pretty damn clean. I think the Jags win the game outright.

749
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 2: I certainly like them plus three. The Jags defense has

750
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 2: been underrated and that Niners offense has not been humming

751
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,479
Speaker 2: the Jags running game. People are gonna talk more about

752
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 2: Travis etsy In after this game. I like the Jacksonville

753
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:35,799
Speaker 2: Jaguars coming off of bye at home getting the full

754
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 2: three points against San Francisco. Your thoughts, demons.

755
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 3: I like that one. I honestly do not believe in

756
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,800
Speaker 3: I don't. I'm not. I don't want to say I

757
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:48,280
Speaker 3: don't believe in Brock Party.

758
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 2: But wow, wow you've come around. Wow all right?

759
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:00,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean yeah, three three three game. I'm losing

760
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 3: streak coming off of by I mean, but next you've

761
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,280
Speaker 3: got Cleveland plus six at Baltimore.

762
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 2: Okay, so this is not me picking the Browns to

763
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 2: win out right. This is me saying the Brown this

764
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 2: is statistically the two best defenses in football, and it's

765
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 2: a divisional matchup and I'm getting six points. Now, I

766
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 2: know the Ravens Demonse have blown out the Lions and

767
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 2: the Seahawks. So here is an importance, man. Yeah, so

768
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 2: here is an important note on this. Lamar is now

769
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 2: I think eighteen and one in his career against the NFC,

770
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 2: which tells you a few things. Most notably is if

771
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 2: you don't face Lamar often or you almost never face

772
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 2: him as these NFC teams, you can't. You can't deal

773
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 2: with him if you see him twice a year. I'm

774
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 2: not saying he's easy to deal with, but you at

775
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:07,240
Speaker 2: least have some familiarity. You can draw upon game plans

776
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 2: that you previously had. Now, Baltimore played Cleveland earlier this

777
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 2: year and annihilated him twenty seven to three. But if

778
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 2: you remember, that was the game that Deshaun Watson mourning

779
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 2: of was like I can't play sorry, guys, Dorian Thompson, Robinson,

780
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 2: good luck buddy. So I'm not throwing that one out,

781
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 2: but I am putting a little mini asterisk just on

782
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 2: how much of a blowout it was I'm getting six points.

783
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 2: Lamar over the last three years is four and fourteen

784
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 2: against the spread when he's favored by more than three,

785
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 2: and he's three and eight at home against the AFC

786
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 2: North against the spread in his career. And so Cleveland

787
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:59,919
Speaker 2: getting a full six points in a game that feel

788
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:04,240
Speaker 2: very twenty to seventeen ish to me, I'll take Cleveland

789
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:05,800
Speaker 2: plus the six go ahead.

790
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 3: I don't like it. I'm never I'm never gonna do

791
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:15,280
Speaker 3: this again, betting straight up line teaser. I'm not betting

792
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 3: against the Ravens. I just think that on any given

793
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 3: Sunday they are liable to blow a team the hell

794
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 3: out of the water, and I just am not going

795
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:24,720
Speaker 3: that's fair.

796
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, I understand. I just it's a divisional game,

797
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,360
Speaker 2: tough opponent. Six points is too much.

798
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 3: Next, all right, you got Houston plus seven at Cincinnati?

799
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 2: All right, I'm getting a full seven. Jamar Chase did

800
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 2: not practice yesterday and T Higgins all of a sudden

801
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 2: popped up on the injury report, limited the While the

802
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:56,720
Speaker 2: Bengals right now they need every game. They really must

803
00:49:56,760 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 2: have next week's game against Baltimore, So why does that matter?

804
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 2: I think they will be extra cautious demanse, certainly with

805
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 2: Chase and maybe also with Higgins. Higgins it's a soft

806
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 2: tissue thing. So if they are worried, if we push

807
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 2: him to go this week and he can't play against Baltimore,

808
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 2: they could be cooked for the division. Jamar Chase hurt

809
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 2: his back, I don't expect him to play. He had

810
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 2: the massive win against San Francisco, huge win against Buffalo.

811
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 2: Next week you have Baltimore. So this is a spot

812
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 2: that I think Cincinnati could trip up. It certainly is

813
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:46,840
Speaker 2: a spot that they are not going for style points.

814
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:48,839
Speaker 2: They are not gonna if they get a lead, they

815
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 2: will just try to hold on to it for dear life,

816
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 2: get everyone healthy and get to next week. So I'm

817
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 2: getting a full seven points with a quarterback that I

818
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:03,439
Speaker 2: like a lot. They've shown you in Houston. The back

819
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 2: door cover is alive. At they canna be down thirteen points,

820
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 2: They're gonna be, you know, throwing it to try to

821
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 2: just keep in rhythm, and I think Houston could win outright.

822
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 2: I definitely think they can at least keep this relatively close.

823
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 2: They're healthier, they are you know, this is a massive

824
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 2: spot for them where to kind of announce themselves as

825
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:29,239
Speaker 2: a real playoff can.

826
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 3: Contention, Who's Who's this a bigger game for it? It's

827
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 3: got to be Cincinnati, right, Well would be.

828
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, yes and no, yes, and that Cincinnati is,

829
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 2: you know, trying to be a super Bowl contender, so

830
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:47,800
Speaker 2: all their games are bigger.

831
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 3: No.

832
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 2: In this regard, for Houston, you could argue this is

833
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 2: one of their biggest games of the year, and for

834
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 2: Cincinnati it's their least big game of the last month

835
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 2: or the games moving forward because they have Baltimore they had,

836
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:09,800
Speaker 2: but you know what I mean, And so in that regard,

837
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:13,320
Speaker 2: this game just means more for Houston. And I'm getting

838
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 2: seven points, and so I'm going with Houston go ahead.

839
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 3: This one directly contradicts my teaser. I hate it when

840
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 3: that happens, but sorry sticking it out. But yeah, I

841
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 3: think it's a good to logical bet. So next, you've

842
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:31,760
Speaker 3: got Detroit minus three at the Chargers.

843
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:35,720
Speaker 2: All right, This was the one I struggled with the most.

844
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 2: But Detroit coming off of Bye Detroit in a spot

845
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:49,879
Speaker 2: where I feel like, because they got rolled the way

846
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 2: they did by Baltimore, people you know, kind of were like, oh Okay,

847
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 2: that's not that's not a real, you know, contender team.

848
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 2: But as we then saw Balton more Roles Seattle know,

849
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 2: maybe Seattle's not a real contender team either. There are

850
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 2: some things Baltimore can do that no one else can.

851
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 2: The Chargers we're a little too happy with themselves with

852
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:15,320
Speaker 2: the win over the Jets in a game where once

853
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 2: again their offense didn't look great. The Detroit is off

854
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 2: a bye the Chargers played Monday. I always hate when

855
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 2: the NFL does that to teams, like it's not only

856
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 2: does the other team have an extra week, but the

857
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 2: Chargers don't even have the full week. The Lions, aside

858
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 2: from that Ravens game, have been a covering machine, and

859
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:39,760
Speaker 2: the Chargers are not a trustworthy team in my opinion.

860
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 2: And so for all those reasons, do I think Detroit's

861
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 2: going to win? And I listen, Do I love laying

862
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 2: the full field goal on the road? I don't, But

863
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:54,839
Speaker 2: it's what the line is. I'll take all tepidly. Take

864
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 2: Detroit minus three.

865
00:53:56,880 --> 00:54:01,760
Speaker 3: Next, got Dallas minus sixteen and a half versus the Giants.

866
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 2: Okay, I understand that in theory, laying sixteen and a

867
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 2: half points is super square. I mean this sincerely doubt.

868
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:18,920
Speaker 2: If Dallas gets to twenty four, it is impossible they

869
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:23,879
Speaker 2: don't cover. If they get to twenty they might cover,

870
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:30,200
Speaker 2: and at seventeen they could cover. The New York Giants

871
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 2: offense with Tommy DeVito playing quarterback with their offensive line injuries,

872
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 2: I would and I might make this bet. I bet

873
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 2: the Dallas defense outscores the Giants offense. I bet the

874
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:53,720
Speaker 2: Dallas defense has more defensive touchdowns than the Giants offense

875
00:54:53,760 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 2: has offensive touchdowns. The Giants are right now, given the injuries,

876
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 2: the worst team in the NFL, and Dallas is what

877
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 2: they have shown us this year. Whether the Super Bowl

878
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 2: contender or not, we can argue about is they annihilate teams,

879
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 2: annihilate them. They beat the Giants forty to nothing already

880
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 2: this year, and that was with the Giants having Daniel

881
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:25,279
Speaker 2: Jones at quarterback. They are now have Tommy DeVito at

882
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:29,840
Speaker 2: quarterback with Matt Barkley signed the team. I think that

883
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 2: Dak owns THENOT. I think I know Dak owns the

884
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 2: NFC East. The Giants right now are the worst team

885
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 2: in the league. It's a big number, all lay the

886
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 2: big number. This is a Cowboys blowout. This feels like

887
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 2: thirty to three Dallas. I'll lay the sixteen and a half.

888
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:49,800
Speaker 2: Your thoughts, Demant, say.

889
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 3: My thoughts is Dallas minus sixteen and a half. That's

890
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 3: a huge number those are.

891
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 2: It is a huge number. It is. I mean, there's

892
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 2: no doubt about that.

893
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 3: I think that little rant that you just went on

894
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 3: might have been more disrespectful than any other rant that

895
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 3: I've heard you go on. And there was the time.

896
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:11,440
Speaker 2: Listen, the Giants are. The Giants are with.

897
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 3: It's seventeen points, but.

898
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:17,839
Speaker 2: I mean they can shut them out. All right. So

899
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 2: here's my five picks for the week. We're taking three dogs,

900
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 2: two favorites. One of them is a massive favorite. Jags

901
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:26,359
Speaker 2: plus three against the Niners. I think they went out right.

902
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:29,319
Speaker 2: Cleveland plus six at Baltimore. I think they keep it close.

903
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 2: Houston plus seven at Cincinnati. Sneaky trap game spot for Cincinnati.

904
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:37,360
Speaker 2: Detroit laying three at the Chargers. Don't love it. Dallas

905
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 2: minus sixteen and a half against the Giants. Love it.

906
00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 2: There are the five picks for the week. All right now,

907
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 2: Demonse's teaser.

908
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 3: So energy seemed to go down when you when you

909
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:48,799
Speaker 3: were all right?

910
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:50,520
Speaker 2: So, first of all, our producer.

911
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 3: I got the Miami one right.

912
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 2: The Miami one, you got right. It's in red, but

913
00:56:55,480 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 2: it should be in green. Demonse's teaser was Miami plus

914
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 2: eight and a half, which covered see we can put

915
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:04,800
Speaker 2: it on the screen. Guys, it's all right, Seattle plus

916
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 2: twelve and a half, which I warned him against. I

917
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:12,239
Speaker 2: told him the Ravens screwed him before. He didn't care.

918
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:15,479
Speaker 2: It didn't cover, and in Cleveland minus a half point

919
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 2: against Arizona that did cover. Demond's season record on the

920
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 2: years one to eight. So the bright side is, uh,

921
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 2: you can still finish above five hundred. The downside is

922
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 2: to finish above five hundred, you have to go undefeated

923
00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 2: the rest of the way. So it's unlikely, but it's

924
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 2: on the board. What are we doing this week?

925
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 3: All right, it's time to make a comeback, guys. I've

926
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 3: got some And just look at it as like, you

927
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:47,480
Speaker 3: know how when you learn a new language, like you're

928
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 3: learning Spanish, they tell you to behave or act as

929
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 3: if you were a baby and you're a sponge and

930
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 3: just like trying to take it in solely. That's what

931
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 3: we're doing on these teasers, guys. I've got new rules

932
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:01,400
Speaker 3: and principles that I'm gonna as the season goes on,

933
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:04,360
Speaker 3: and then hopefully, like like my dad said, if we

934
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:07,640
Speaker 3: have the graciousness to be doing this next year, we'll

935
00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 3: get better. But hey, this is not me being down myself.

936
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 3: This is this is a winning teaser right here. This week,

937
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 3: you got a three team seven and a half point teaser.

938
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:19,080
Speaker 3: Know you love those half points at plus one oh five. Yeah,

939
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 3: we got Jacksonville. We're teasing them up to plus ten

940
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 3: and a half. We got Minnesota, we're teasing them up

941
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 3: to plus ten. We got Cincinnati, and we're just basically

942
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 3: making them a pick them versus the Texans. Hey, man,

943
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 3: go ahead, Yeah, the whole little Texans, the whole the

944
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:43,960
Speaker 3: no the Texans talk that you had. I don't want

945
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 3: to say it got me down, but Texans plus fourteen

946
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:50,440
Speaker 3: and a half would be sweet versus the Bengals. But

947
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 3: I'm very confident that the Bengals are gonna win that game.

948
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 3: As far as Minnesota, I've got no worries that they'll

949
00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 3: go out there and be within ten points of the

950
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 3: New Orleans Saints and then Jacksonville. Like I said, I

951
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 3: just trust Trevor Lawrence A little bit more than I

952
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 3: trust Brock Party. They're on the winning street. Brock parties

953
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:10,920
Speaker 3: on the losing street. They're both coming off a bye.

954
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 3: What do you want to say? I feel like he

955
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 3: got something to say about Cincinnati.

956
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 2: The Vikings one worries me a bit. I stayed away

957
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 2: from that game. I just wonder if there's a bit

958
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 2: of an emotional let down there still playing a quarterback

959
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 2: that just got in the building. Saints have been playing well,

960
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 2: it's not terrible. You obviously know where I stand on

961
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 2: not only teasing across the zero, but the Texans Bengals

962
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:39,600
Speaker 2: game in general. I don't love it. I'm not gonna

963
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 2: lie to you there. If I were to construct a

964
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:49,919
Speaker 2: teaser for the weekend, I am, I am, I'm trying

965
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:52,360
Speaker 2: to This is not a great teaser weekend. I'm not

966
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 2: gonna lie to you on that front either.

967
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 3: All right, Wait, hold on, I'm hijacking the teaser boath.

968
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 3: Hey take Cincinnati out play US one. We're doing Texans

969
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 3: plus fourteen and a half.

970
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 2: Wait you're wait, You're just keeping the same game and

971
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 2: switching it.

972
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:10,160
Speaker 3: One thousand percent. What's the problem.

973
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm with you. You know what? Good for you? Pal,

974
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 2: This is how you turn it around. I thought you

975
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 2: were gonna be like putting the Cowboys to minus nine

976
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 2: or something. No, duh, oh, that's not a bad one.

977
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 2: By the way, Texas Cowboys down to minus nine, and

978
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:28,560
Speaker 2: I'm saying, but they always down to my sign is

979
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 2: not a bad one.

980
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:32,919
Speaker 3: No hundred percent. No, As you were saying that they could.

981
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 3: The whole rant that you went on made me think

982
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:38,320
Speaker 3: about putting the Cowboys. But I mean, no, I'm not

983
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 3: going to carry away from the game entirely. I want

984
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 3: to keep the Texans in there.

985
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 2: I was thinking of it. Okay, all right, so we

986
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:46,720
Speaker 2: got Jacks plus ten and a half, Minnesota plus ten

987
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:48,560
Speaker 2: and a half, using plus fourteen and a half. This

988
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 2: is how you turn it around. What's the offer this week, demons?

989
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:54,840
Speaker 3: The offer this week is called Nick was right? Uh

990
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 3: prety under one and a half touchdowns under two hundred

991
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 3: and thirty nine and a half yards and the over

992
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,320
Speaker 3: one and a half touchdowns over two hundred and forty

993
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 3: one and a half yards odds are plus eleven hundred.

994
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:10,640
Speaker 3: You want that? So you don't want that because of

995
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 3: the San Francisco defense, and we're not sure.

996
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:16,240
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, I'm a little worried if the

997
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 2: Jags are winning the game. It's always if you think

998
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:22,000
Speaker 2: the Jags can win the game out right, you're a

999
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 2: little nervous of the underpassing yardage numbers for the opposing quarterback. Uh,

1000
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 2: here's the deal. I'm gonna decline that offer, but I

1001
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 2: am going to create a nice same game parlay for

1002

Speaker 2: this exact game that i'll tweet out. All right, we've

1003
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 2: got We'll answer your chat questions quickly, take quick break,

1004
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:49,640
Speaker 2: come back. What's right? All right, quickly, let's do the

1005
01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 2: questions because I gotta get to work. Demons. What's the

1006
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 2: first one?

1007
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 3: First question is from Dusty demonte A. You're gonna play

1008
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 3: the new Call of Duty with me again? On the

1009
01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:00,920
Speaker 3: new one. We can get in by joining Zealand Lobbies

1010
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:06,400
Speaker 3: right now, Dusty, I get paid this Friday tomorrow, so

1011
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 3: it won't be playing tonight, but it might be able

1012
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:10,840
Speaker 3: to get on tomorrow after I got that.

1013
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 2: Okay, all right?

1014
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:18,480
Speaker 3: Next next one, Jack Fisher asked, why do you think

1015
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:20,919
Speaker 3: the Eagles don't use the push to the push toush

1016
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 3: for two point conversions? Seems like they could get it

1017
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:25,400
Speaker 3: almost every time. That's disgusting.

1018
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 2: Oh so you're coming around on me on this with

1019
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 2: me on this.

1020
01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:32,160
Speaker 3: No, I've never said that the play looks good, but

1021
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 3: like if you can't be stopped doing it for two point.

1022
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:45,440
Speaker 2: Conversions, I honestly think the Eagles smartly understand we've gotta

1023
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:49,640
Speaker 2: be that with how we utilize this, we don't want

1024
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:54,920
Speaker 2: it to get banned. And I thought there when they

1025
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 2: were doing it. They did it on first and ten

1026
01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 2: when they were backed up on their own one, and

1027
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:02,600
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, they always could do this, you

1028
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:04,600
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like, but it was a big

1029
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:08,440
Speaker 2: spot in a big game, So I listen, I would

1030
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:11,640
Speaker 2: not rule it out of the realm of possibilities that

1031
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:14,400
Speaker 2: they do something like that in the playoffs. They're saving

1032
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 2: it for the playoffs and be like, stop it, what

1033
01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 2: are you gonna do? I think that's on the board.

1034
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:23,040
Speaker 2: I absolutely think it's on the board next All right, season,

1035
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:25,840
Speaker 2: I don't I don't have to takes in the NBA

1036
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:26,840
Speaker 2: and season tournament.

1037
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 3: Go ahead, actual, we still love you. Brian Reyes said,

1038
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 3: if CJ. Stroud continues to play at this high level

1039
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 3: for the rest of the season, do you think he

1040
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 3: has a chance at MVP.

1041
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:40,440
Speaker 2: We'll see if the Texans make the playoffs. I mean,

1042
01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:43,439
Speaker 2: the guy's got what fourteen touchdowns one pick if they

1043
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:47,919
Speaker 2: make the playoffs and his numbers are amazing, it's on

1044
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 2: the board, like this is a weird MVP year. I

1045
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:53,400
Speaker 2: made a case yesterday on TV that Miles Garrett should

1046
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:56,480
Speaker 2: be getting consideration. The Browns of the best evens in

1047
01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:59,520
Speaker 2: the league has been awesome every single week, Like, yeah,

1048
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:01,920
Speaker 2: what are you gonna do? All right? There was the

1049
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:03,480
Speaker 2: show the oh do you.

1050
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:03,760
Speaker 3: Want to do?

1051
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:05,160
Speaker 2: The last question? I didn't know if you had.

1052
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:06,800
Speaker 3: I mean, you kind of brought me to the last

1053
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:11,400
Speaker 3: question perfectly. The Texans are my underdog, my underdog playoffs.

1054
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:14,000
Speaker 2: Playoff that would be so much fun. It would also

1055
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:17,480
Speaker 2: mean a team with very high expectations in the AFC

1056
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:20,800
Speaker 2: gets left out. That would be really fun, really interesting.

1057
01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:22,840
Speaker 2: All right, I'll see guys on TV today at three.

1058
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 2: See you guys for the pot on Tuesday, Round ten thirty.

1059
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 2: What's trick
