1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: Be Around with the NFL podcast. Maybe this year will

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: be better than the last. Welcome to another edition of

3
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: the Around the NFL Podcast. I'm Greg Rosenthal, sitting in

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: for Dan Hansas in the host chair, surrounded by a

5
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: room over stuffed with heroes, Mark Sessler, Rachel Bonetta, who,

6
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: Connie Fox hit the music? Maybe we have to have

7
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: the the intro music. If we must, we are here.

8
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: I just find it interesting that you know, I'm sitting

9
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: in this chair and Dan's nowhere to be found. I

10
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: just find it, really find it interesting that you're talking

11
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: over Colleen's intro. That's the way we do. You do

12
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: talk over it. That we're all together and it's kind

13
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: of nice and I'm giddy about it. Yeah, that's that's

14
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: the idea. Dan's, um, you know, on a beautiful anniversary trip.

15
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: You guys invite me on this show. He's nowhere to

16
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: be found. I just think I'm just inter I thought

17
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: a coward. I don't know you had asked you wanted

18
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: to be like in the Inner Circle on the bench

19
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: with Badetta podcast. Of course everyone should check her out.

20
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: If you like this podcast, you gotta love that podcast. Um,

21
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: what could be more Inner Circle than being part of

22
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: the ninth annual. I'm happy to be here with my gal.

23
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: Let's go, let's talk about it. I mean, do we

24
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: need to talk about it. It's like the it's the

25
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: day where it's like it's a confection more than any

26
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: other NFL day of the year. I do enjoy it though,

27
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: just kind of like getting excited. But Colleen, you know,

28
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: stopped us before the show and said she had some

29
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: very important matters to really hit us with first. So

30
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: you have the floor first of all. Last podcast, I

31
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: just gotta say, Connor or Mark Sessler, you have to

32
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: bring back Heat and Light Pod, Like that's it's got

33
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: to come back. It was such a fun listen to

34
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: have you guys together again, and I felt like Mark

35
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: really was just there was a different energy about him.

36
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: I felt like you were more alive talking to appreciated

37
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: being along for that ride. So I would like for

38
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,119
Speaker 1: the Heat and Light Pod to come back. I think

39
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: either Connor or was pulled from my rib if that's

40
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: how that story goes, or vice versa. There is a

41
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: kinship there. We did ten episodes and then we were

42
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: snuffed from existence. Um for an explanation, I can't really

43
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: discuss further, so the show the topics would be controversial.

44
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 1: Let's gout that way. This just got real. Shout out

45
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: to a lot of listeners who hit me up because

46
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: I have now the entire compendium of the Heat and

47
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: Light podcast. How did you find that? It's on the

48
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 1: internet or you found it like in the nfl R. No,

49
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: it's on the internet. Um. Twitter user at wand the

50
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: Hoosier was first one to make me aware of a

51
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: Reddit user whose name is Fannie Cox, which is funny.

52
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: Watch your mouth got a problem here? Has them all

53
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: uploaded to YouTube under a channel called Heat and Light Podcast.

54
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: Stand you can go find this on YouTube, but why

55
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: don't you tweet it out and then pin it to

56
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: your Twitter account? This is now that like you've taken

57
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: this oath as our I would never ask you to

58
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: do something like that. By the way, Justin right to

59
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: Rachel's point, like we tacked on an addendum to the

60
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: list of oaths, he has to listen to every single

61
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: Heat and Light episode, which is a lot of time

62
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: wasted for Justin that he was out of because these

63
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: did not exist. They now back in existence. Have a

64
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: nice week, Otherwise you wouldn't understand, like, are all of

65
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: our like, there's a chance we make an inside joke

66
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: eighteen months from now, and we want you to be

67
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: prepared for it. Graver is just drowning in work now

68
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: from tasks that you guys are that that was all

69
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: you had to bring up. That was the pressge that

70
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: just say it sounded important slightly. We something. We have

71
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: a schedule that needs to be released. I have one

72
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: pressing thing before we get started. I know that this

73
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: is an audio medium, but I feel like Mark's giving

74
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: me Jeff, Jeff probes don't Survivor today. Yeah, the shirt,

75
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: the attitude shirt matches our at Oh, you're just giving

76
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: a little Jeff. I don't know quite know what that

77
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: means because I haven't watched Survivor since about two thousand

78
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: and three, so I missed taking that wasn't kicked off

79
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: because he had come back. He's come back. Okay, I

80
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: might be mixing up. You're definitely mixing up. Jeff. Shirts

81
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: are always yeah wait, no, that was her bachelor. Jeff's

82
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: like an actual good guy, right, Jeff's a great guy.

83
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: I don't think he's been canceled. No, definitely not. Mark,

84
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: on the other hand, did you have another down that.

85
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: I look at my list of pressing matters and my

86
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: notes just say passenger landed a plane in Florida with

87
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: no flying experience whatsoever, and then something about tattoo talk. Okay,

88
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: but you can also mix these things in during the

89
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: show too. That's like another go like, I like that.

90
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: I like that. There's no rules when Dan's here, it

91
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: does feel like the kids are just playing. There's no organization.

92
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,119
Speaker 1: If you're listening to this, that means the schedule is out.

93
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: We are taping this before the show, before the actual

94
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: schedule um was released. Because we're very special people. We

95
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 1: got early copies of the schedule like every season, and

96
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: this is the ninth annual edition. Justin tells me he

97
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: went back and counted them up. Um. They always make

98
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: the producers turn off all the cameras, so that's not

99
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: going throughout the building. They warn us if they can

100
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: trace any leaks of the schedule, uh to us, like

101
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: if Canadians start tweeting it out. But now we're get

102
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: in big trouble. But if you're listening to this, that

103
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: means it was just released. So let's dive into it.

104
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: Let's dive into week one. I feel like week one

105
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: is always the the right place to start, because, um,

106
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: I'm like a small child that can't focus on too

107
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: many things at once. We're gonna be talking about week

108
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: one for the next four or five months, and beyond that,

109
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: it's like it's too far in the future. Mark, why

110
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: don't you get us started? Like something that excites you

111
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: about week one? Well, I think the start at the

112
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: very first game, because I think some of the kickoff

113
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: games have slightly been underwhelming depending on you know, like

114
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: they've just not always been the greatest matchup of all time,

115
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: depending on like the visiting team. The Bills at the

116
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: Rams is pretty much the best thing you could have

117
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: asked for. Ye that's fun. There's a chance we're eople

118
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: fist bumping in the in the control people. Not like

119
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: there's no weak point here. It was literally like not

120
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: paying attention to market and podcast the other day, like

121
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: whatsoever they were they were had other things going on mentally.

122
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: But this is a different show. It's about different things.

123
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: Bills at Rams. I mean, it's it's the Super Bowl

124
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: winner against the team that everyone shood. Many thoughts should

125
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: have gone from the a f C and will go

126
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: this year so you go. I like that one. That's

127
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: a great one. You have Matthew Stafford hasn't played the

128
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: Bills as a RAM yet. You have the Von Miller aspect,

129
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: which really doesn't matter that much. It's not like a

130
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: huge revenge game. He was only there for not even

131
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: a full season. They feel like cashed in because of that. However,

132
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: when I look at Week one Broncos at Seahawks, I'm

133
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: I'm losing my voice. Uh, Broncos at Seahawks. They went

134
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: for it Week one, Russell Wilson right off the back,

135
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: going back to town. I love that. It feels like

136
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: we're getting spoiled with that one. Like I feel like

137
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: we should, we should be forced to wait for that

138
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: one a little bit, but they're giving it to us

139
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: right away. The one that I'm excited about. Mark, I

140
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: don't know if you're feeling the same way, but I

141
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: want to see what these Browns look like week one.

142
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: I feel like I dated somebody hot and heavy in

143
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: high school and now it's like the tenure and the

144
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: whole thing is you're looking for a new team. Listen.

145
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: I just want to see if they did they get you? Still?

146
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: You know, did they get most botox in their face,

147
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: you know, as that's what I want to see. I

148
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: want to see them flailing. They buried Cleveland in terms

149
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: of national exposure. On this schedule. They have two primetime

150
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: games and a bunch of hidden away contests. And I

151
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: think we know why, but I love this idea. Let's

152
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: say something goes wrong, something goes wrong with the Panther's

153
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: quarterback situation, which is not hard to between now and

154
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: then an injury that could go right. But because because

155
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: they're not aiming for Baker Mayfield in theory at this point.

156
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: But if they lost Sam Donaldson, let's say they signed

157
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield and you get your ten year high school

158
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: reunion Cleveland Brown's version going up against Baker Mayfield. It

159
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: would be like the third guy in that love Trying picture,

160
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: you know, that Elmo Gift when he's like in fire

161
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: like that mark, And I like, if Baker Mayfield beats

162
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 1: the Browns in Week one as a member of that

163
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: could maybe I would be so happy. You can't roll

164
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: out Sam donald to play football again in twenty two,

165
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: Just do it. We know that they were interested, they

166
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: were talking trade during the draft. They weren't willing to

167
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: um take on all of his salary, and the Browns

168
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: weren't willing to pay like half of it whatever the

169
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: Panthers asked for. But that means they would like change.

170
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: That means they would accept him. At some point. The

171
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: Browns are at the point where they just got to

172
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: give up the Ghosts. They lost this Like you're a

173
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: big loser this offseason for everything that you've done, Browns,

174
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: and you're gonna get your wins in the future, at

175
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 1: least you believe so, like with the Shawn Watson, but

176
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: the whole Mayfield things over, like it's such a distraction.

177
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: He should show up to work and just like be

178
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: a pain in the ask so that they have to

179
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: get rid of him and so that he ends up

180
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: on the Panthers Week one. That's a good one. I

181
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: also really like Patriots at Dolphins. I hate that grand

182
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: entrance Mike pick Daniel versus Belichick in his first ever

183
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: Gamely Patriots like always crappy when they play the Dolphins,

184
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: Like don't that's true. That's true, but it's also the

185
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: third straight year that this has been the Week one game.

186
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: It's just an annoying, weird subplot to me, as like

187
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: a Patriots fan that they keep doing the same matchup

188
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: every year. I mean it's been like different quarterback matchups

189
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: depending on the year, Like these Dolphins different though, Mike Daniel.

190
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: The Dolphins in general are interesting. I just don't like

191
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: that big of a division game in Miami where they

192
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: always was like right off and it's the same, It's

193
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: the same thing year after year. I'm with you though,

194
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: on the Russ versus Pete Carroll thing week one, maybe

195
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: they were kind of thinking, how I thought, like, we're

196
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: small children. We can't like it, can't like hold our

197
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: attention in terms of this revenge rivalry. Why wait till

198
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: Week nine? Maybe the Seahawks aren't gonna be good by

199
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 1: then either. So it's got every like ounce of juice

200
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: that you can possibly have. But I love it because

201
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's on the Broncos, because ultimately Pete Carroll didn't

202
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: really believe Russell Wilson is as good as Russell Wilson

203
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: and thinks he is. And and he's also on the

204
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: Broncos because Russell Wilson doesn't think Pete Carroll's as good

205
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: a coach as he thinks he And it's it's just

206
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: true like like they did not think Russell Wilson is

207
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: a top five type of quarterback anymore, and so they

208
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: were willing to do this, and he gets to like

209
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: prove him wrong in Seattle. And I do think that

210
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: when they meet and like hugging stuff like that, it's

211
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: going to be boring, like they're both so you'll be nice.

212
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: Like you know, when like Belichick faced off against Brady

213
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: last year, we were all like, oh my god, are

214
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: they gonna hug? Are they gonna kiss on their cheek?

215
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: What are they gonna do? And it's like the most

216
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: excused the forehead what I wanted to say, And I

217
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: came out the next four months too. For Seahawks fans,

218
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: like knowing that this is first and it's home, you

219
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 1: can already see Seahawks fans. I've I've noticed some that

220
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: are rooting against Russell Wilson a little more than they expected.

221
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: Like they of course they loved everything that he did

222
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 1: for him, but now that they're seeing him, like have

223
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 1: the cheesy videos with cr where he doesn't know whether

224
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: his dog is male or female, and that's not a

225
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: great dog. Actually, I think if you're going to pick

226
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: a stop dancing, I feel like a lot of dancing happening,

227
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: and that was making fans are like, great, that's not

228
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: our problem. Again, if we win week one with Gino

229
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: Smith against Russell Wilson, everything greg One. Seahawks fans right

230
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: now are completely in space because I tweeted out that

231
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: they had a quarterback scenario that was a problematic thing.

232
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: You got Drew Lock or Gino. I know you love

233
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 1: Geno so much, but all these all times, like you

234
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: don't understand the Seahawks have a plan. It's a trench

235
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: in plan. You're you're like, you're blind to what they're doing.

236
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: And like, talk to me in week five when they're

237
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: one in four and they're trying to still sell Drew

238
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: Lock to us as an actual entity. If that happens,

239
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 1: does Pete Carroll? I feel like it's so weird to

240
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: see the Seahawks without Pete Carroll. Obviously he's getting older,

241
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to retire at some point, but like,

242
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: if the Seahawks are really bad this year, is he

243
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: still there? They gave him the power to go through

244
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: whatever this rebuild. I mean, at this stage, there's there's

245
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: word like the the Allan's Um, you know, Paul Allen died,

246
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: their former owner, and they're supposedly going to sell the Trailblazers.

247
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 1: Are the Seahawks potentially next. I think that's partly why

248
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: peakarel is still there, is like they just didn't want

249
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: to deal with I think the Seahawks think that they're

250
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: going to be good. Yes I did too, and I

251
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: kind of think they'll find some way to win eight

252
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: or nine games, which is about what they did last year,

253
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,719
Speaker 1: and everyone will like raise it up as like, oh,

254
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: it's you know, a great job by Peak Carroll weak

255
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: Ones a lot of fun. You also have Justin Fields

256
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: and Trey Lance going up against each other from the

257
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 1: draft for like a relatively low octane game. I think

258
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: that's kind of a Eagles Lions. I think it's gonna

259
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: be knock to the first game of the season teams.

260
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 1: You have both Lions. You said it's going to be

261
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: come on, I think the Lions are really I think

262
00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: the Lions have already thrown it out there. I want

263
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: to be the schedule makers, don't think so. The team

264
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: of around the NFL, right, it's a one pm game

265
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: time games. They all their schedules like almost every single

266
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: week is just a one o'clock game. The only team

267
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: with no prime time I feel like that was the Lions,

268
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: rewarding because they were fun down the stretch last year,

269
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 1: Like that Week one game is absolutely fun. It was

270
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: not a fun matchup when they played last year though.

271
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: They're also just a fun team to root for, whether

272
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: they're fun on the field, Like they've just got such

273
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: characters and we're going to get to know all of

274
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: those people way better. Oh, that's true because a Hard

275
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: Knocks That's what I'm saying, Like the first game of

276
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: a Hard Knocks teams like the NFL saying HBO were

277
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: bigger than you two. I know that that is surprising

278
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: because I think they're gonna be fun, and I think

279
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: the Eagles are going to get overrated by a lot

280
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: of people like me who already see them as like

281
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: a top eight team in the end. Really, I'm very

282
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: into the Eagles. Bucks and Cowboys, by the way, are

283
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: the Sunday night game there, so they are definitely swinging

284
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: for the fence. Is just like going for monster ratings

285
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: right away. Let's go to Thanksgiving. We always kind of

286
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: the real quick Raiders Chargers. Did we mention that one? Oh,

287
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: that one's gonna be really one. They ended their season

288
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: together full circle. They end where they begin, where they ended.

289
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: I also love Steelers at Bengals because for twenty years

290
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: that's been the Week one or Week two thing where

291
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh goes in and just wins forty seven to get going.

292
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: Now they're in space on some level and everyone is

293
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: starting to know the Bengals Actually last year was a

294
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: magic ride that won't translate to this season. I don't

295
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: agree with that. I'm I could talk Week one the

296
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: whole time. It's the best week of the year. I

297
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: think it's always the best week on the football calendar.

298
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: You've got the most football to go. Everyone is so

299
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: like fresh and new. Nothing's been ruined, hopefully people are

300
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: injured like sensory overload. Though it's a little much. It's

301
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: a little much when these games, and that is maybe

302
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: the best prime time slate possible. Bill's Rams, Bucks, Cowboys, Broncos, Seahawks.

303
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: That's pretty awesome. Let's go to Thanksgiving next, just because

304
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: I think of that, I think of our family. It's

305
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: my it's my favorite holiday in general. And it go there.

306
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: Go back to the Bills in a big spot. The

307
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: Bills have five primetime games, and they're on Thanksgiving this year,

308
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: which is exciting. It's Bills Lions, So that's the Lions

309
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: big moment. They don't get their primetime game, but more

310
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: people watch that game than any game all year, usually

311
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: even the number one game of it's not been a

312
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: big moment for the Lions, like twenty out of saying

313
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: it's the most people watching, even when it's like who

314
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: is your guy? David blow and the blowhards the other

315
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: year and they watched that game. You have Giants Cowboys

316
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: for the million time on national television, and then Patriots

317
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: Vikings as the nightcap. Do we have any thoughts here?

318
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: I'm kind of excited to see where the Cowboys are

319
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: at in November. I believe this could be wrong. I

320
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: believe they have one of the easier strength of schedules.

321
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: We're given the Cowboys everything. Here's all of these gifts.

322
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: You've got this incredible schedule. Jerry, here you go. Let's

323
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: see what you do. So I feel like by Thanksgiving

324
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: we will have a good indication on are they going

325
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 1: to throw it away again? They usually do after the playoffs.

326
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: Dad that this is a dan Um colonel that he

327
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 1: likes to throw out there just like literally, they've never

328
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 1: followed up a playoff season with another good season. They

329
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: they're horrible with success. They they start feeling themselves. Uh.

330
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: And I think the NFCC, like the Cowboys are listed

331
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: as you know, one of the easiest drinks of schedule

332
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: the entire NFC East is because a they get to

333
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: play each other. So the best one to me would

334
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: be the you know, the Eagles and the Cowboys because

335
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: they don't have to play themselves. They get to play

336
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,719
Speaker 1: the rest of the division. And then out of the division. Uh,

337
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: they play the a f C South, which is as

338
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: easy as it gets, sorry Graver, and the NFC North,

339
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: which maybe isn't the easiest NFC division. You could argue

340
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: the South, but that's the easiest combination of out of

341
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 1: division schedule. So the entire NFC East wins. I I

342
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: like the idea of mac Jones and Kirk cousinsun there's

343
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: anything I do too. But the one thing about the schedule,

344
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, let's look at a game and like

345
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: early December, be like player X first player X can't

346
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: wait to see that. The chances are half these teams

347
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: are shattered healthwise by then and we're projecting, but it's

348
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: supposed to be a day. But that's why there is

349
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: an element to this right now whatever, like this is

350
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: Probs the big like kind of downer. I mean, I

351
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: don't know. I've completely made up story about Jeff Probbs.

352
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about the man. I just keep

353
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: on saying, like Mark is the one who always puts

354
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: in his sandwich propositions predicting the season that some horrible

355
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 1: act is going to either be fall a player, a team,

356
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: or the earth as a whole. And once you were writing,

357
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 1: you pretty much predicted the pandemic, like you finally nailed

358
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: it is Survivor after all, right, I mean I do

359
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: I have no concept with the Jeff Probs thing. I'm

360
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: gonna have to go do some research. I take it

361
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: as sort of a slight um. I was wondering if

362
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 1: the Patriots would get as many primetime games as they

363
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 1: used to, and the answer is yes. They were four

364
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: weeks in a row a primetime games late in the season.

365
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 1: Is ridiculous. That is a little outrageous. I did too.

366
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: I think they will be I think Mac Jones is

367
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: going to be better than everyone thinks. But thirteen teams

368
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: have five primetime games, which is uh a lot, and

369
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: you can end up with six if you get moved

370
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: into Sunday Night Football. But it's forty Niners, Bengals, Bills, Broncos, Bucks, Chargers, Chiefs, Cowboys, Eagles, Packers, Patriots, Rams, Steelers.

371
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: No huge surprise. The probably the best team are the

372
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: best chance for one of those teams to totally stink

373
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: and ruin the primetime games. I'm gonna go Steelers. I'm

374
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: really excited that the Chargers have five. I feel like

375
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: they I feel like they can be something special. Well,

376
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: they watched the Rams win. They have that they had

377
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: so many I talked about this NonStop on our show.

378
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: They had so many like one score games that they lost,

379
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: Like they were so close. Your show being bent with

380
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: Banetta game debut, everyone also should check out. No, I

381
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,959
Speaker 1: thought that's what you men, but I didn't know game debut. Uh.

382
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: We have a schedule release show too, which is on

383
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 1: all sorts of streaming platforms, and we'll just be sitting

384
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: there if you want to find it on Amazon Prime

385
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: or Paramount Plus or it'll just sit there. No, No,

386
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: we're digital only, you know, for the most part, I

387
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: think network work together or this this episode, I don't know.

388
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: I think they needed something and they were like, well,

389
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: we're not going to give you Rich Eysen and them,

390
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,239
Speaker 1: but we will give you this other show and we're

391
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: going to knock it out of the people. People should

392
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: check that out. Show is on NFL Network tonight. Thank you,

393
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: just I didn't know that, and I think it's on

394
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: Friday as well. Um. I like that Lions game early.

395
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 1: Is there any other games though? Mark? Um? You suggested

396
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: a a segment that we could do here today, just

397
00:20:51,560 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: just randomly picking games that buzz your loins. You could

398
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: take that to mean what it means. I mean, if

399
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: you're picking, like one of us to use the word

400
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: loins in the show, it would definitely be it's like

401
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: I text Greg these things and then it turns around

402
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: he turns around and uses it against me on the

403
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: actual show. When I what I sort of mean is

404
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: it just gets you going, Okay, you should be proud

405
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: of your los I like that whole concept. And I

406
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: would say this to Bengals at Cowboys Week two. They've

407
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: got the Steelers in week one, and as I mentioned,

408
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: I think people are starting just to act like the Bengals.

409
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: We're maybe not for real last year. I love the

410
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: uniform matchup number one. But this is gonna be late

411
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: on CBS. You're gonna get Tony Romo announcing this and

412
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: the steel The Bengals also closed the season against the

413
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,959
Speaker 1: Bengals and Ravens, so like, for me, like they've got

414
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: a ton of exciting ones. But if they go in

415
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: and take care of the Steelers and then take care

416
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: of Dallas on a national stage, it's like, don't tell

417
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: me the Bengals aren't legit. I love that the Bengals

418
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: have five prime time games too, by the way, and

419
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: there's so many good matchups for Joe Burrow coming up,

420
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: like Burrow and Brady play for the first time. Week fifteen,

421
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: Burrow and Josh Allen. Week seventeen, um, Burrow and TWA.

422
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: That's fine since they're like Alice you Obama whatever. That's

423
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: Week four, Um, so that's a great one. I'm so

424
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: excited about Week six Bills Chiefs. That's like the best

425
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 1: game of the year. I hope there's no way it's

426
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: going to live up to what we wanted to be,

427
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,719
Speaker 1: but I want twenty five points in the first two minutes.

428
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: So that's how they like, that's how they will it

429
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: will be a completely different time. I think I feel

430
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: weird like picking games at the end of the year.

431
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: It makes a good point mark that we don't know

432
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: what's going to happen by then Week one or two

433
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: is like easier to get excited about. But I do

434
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: kind of love the Chargers rams, Like I'm down. It's

435
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: week seventeen, it's on New Year's Day. The entire uh

436
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: slate is on New Year's Day. Uh So you can

437
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: look at that anyway you want, but we we could

438
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: go to that. I think we should go to that

439
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: and the And one of the reasons I love it

440
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: not just because it's the Super Bowl champs and they're

441
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: both entertaining and it's Herbert, is they sneaky don't like

442
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 1: each other. And I don't even think it. I don't

443
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: think they. I don't think they like to like advertise it.

444
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 1: But it's a better sneaky don't like each other because

445
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: it's not really the players. The players don't care, they're

446
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: they're they like each other teams, it's the organizations. It's

447
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: like the team, the Ramps. It's like, hey, we built

448
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: a stadium. Oh, you want to come, like join us.

449
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: Like the Chargers, whether they like it or not, are forever.

450
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: That's gonna be the Jets with the Giants when they

451
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: were like leasing in the Giants Stadium when it was

452
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: called Giants Stadium and the Jets had to play there.

453
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 1: That is who the Chargers are. They're the little brothers.

454
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: But they look pretty good. So it's like a fun

455
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: thing to imagine. I really think that they need to

456
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: kind of buy into this rivalry in Major League Soccer.

457
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: There's l traffic. Oh it's the Galaxy versus l A

458
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: f C. They have billboards around the city that are

459
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: like crapping on each other and just you want to

460
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: go and watch these games. It's like a part of

461
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 1: l A versus another part of l A. Like people

462
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: for some reason hate each other even though we're all

463
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: in the same city. Like, it's it's fun buy into that.

464
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: More people are gonna want to go to these games.

465
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: I would definitely it's like a yeah, you're buzzing right? Sure?

466
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: Is that how? I don't want to talk about my loins?

467
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it's May twelve. What else is gonna get

468
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: your loins buzzing? Vacation Bucks Bengals. Is Kenning my Loins

469
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: buzzing as well? It's a nineteenior age gap. I believe nice.

470
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: That's good. I feel like the entire this entire schedule

471
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: would be so different if Tom Brady hadn't returned, because

472
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers are basically in every high leverage spot that

473
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: they could possibly be being. I like the TN f

474
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: Lamar versus Brady Ravens Bucks. Uh what else you got, Mark?

475
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: That's buzzing ear Loins. I like Chargers Niners. It's a

476
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: little bit more nerdy. But I did the idea of

477
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan versus Brandon Staley, justin Herbert versus maybe Trade Lance.

478
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: I just want to see what the nine owners are

479
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: doing a quarterback at that point. Is that Sunday Night

480
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: Football Week ten. I mean, that's gonna have a lot

481
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: of meaning. I think the Niners could be a team

482
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: on the brink at that point, and the Chargers that

483
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: they keep winning games like this To your point, Rachel,

484
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: I mean they can start hanging in there with the

485
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: Rams in terms of how they are viewed. We also

486
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: get Rogers Brady Week three. That's another one. We get

487
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 1: the rematch go ahead. The Carson Wentz revenge Tour. I

488
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: love that it stops in Indie week eight at Philly

489
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: week ten, I cannot wait. I want to go to

490
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: that one. That's going to be a Connie Fox on

491
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: location special like that. That's one of those Like there.

492
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: Those are truly revenge games because the Colts brass for

493
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: lack of a better word, their ownership and their general

494
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: manager basically made it as clear as possible how they

495
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: think just getting rid of Carson Wentz is gonna save them,

496
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 1: and he knows that and hopefully still the starter by

497
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: week A. I'm not totally sure he's going to be

498
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: the starter there for the entire season because it might

499
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: go poorly, but I hope he lasts at least till

500
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: Week eight for the Colts. In week ten, uh Eagles,

501
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: I like Chiefs Bengals two weeks thirteen. I feel like

502
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: that's sort of gotten slept on um as the biggest

503
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: collapse since three, one of the biggest collapses in NFL history,

504
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: one of the most shocking games I've ever seen since

505
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: we've you know, been doing this job. I I put

506
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: that right with Seahawks Packers, even as the two games

507
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: to me. That just stunned me the most as I

508
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: was watching them. What happened like the Chiefs just people

509
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 1: treat Bills Chiefs as the a f C title game

510
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: and it wasn't we all know that? And it's like,

511
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: I'm with you that the Bengals scenario, what they did

512
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 1: to Kansas City coming out of the second half into

513
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: the second half was like a epic comeback and like

514
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: essentially met like sealed. How magical the Bengals were an

515
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: unstoppable cannot get out of my mind during that game

516
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: at being at Lakisha's with you, Greg and Lakisha walking

517
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: around the backyard burning stage at halftime, and it was

518
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs, like it was the winning this

519
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: team in the NFL over the last five years. The

520
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: team might still sort of can't get over that. Rachel,

521
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: you are are so busy. You have so many things

522
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: that you're doing. You're hosting game debut later, you're editing

523
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: some other piece. Um, You've got the Bench with Banetta podcast.

524
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: I should have mentioned at the beginning of the show

525
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: that we had a special guest that's actually gonna be

526
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: replacing you half way through, and is Patrick claybon I

527
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: want you guys to actually be on the show together,

528
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: because we're gonna be making some history here. They said

529
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: it couldn't be done. Patrick, could you just stand with

530
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 1: this headset for a couple of minutes before Rachel leaves?

531
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: And I want to make history here because they said

532
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: it couldn't be done. Five five headsets, five posts at once. Uh.

533
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 1: And I don't think you guys have ever it on

534
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 1: a program together. Rachel. We've had a really nice moment

535
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: at the super Bowl where we were sitting next to

536
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 1: each other for the very first time, and I think

537
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: I just looked at you and I was like, Patrick,

538
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: you're very funny. It's so funny, very funny. And I

539
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, this magical fifth headset, this would have happened.

540
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 1: This is a special moment that we all got to share.

541
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: And Dan's not here be the best part of all

542
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 1: to such um. You know, Mark and I are too

543
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 1: smart to say things. Going to stay quiet on that friend.

544
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: By the way, we are trying to make up how

545
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: much we miss his presence by over stuffing this show.

546
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: I don't know justy've ever. Mark looked over his shoulder

547
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: very quickly. I was so I thought he was in

548
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,959
Speaker 1: Mexico last I heard, but total fear of damn at

549
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: all moments, even if he's out of the country. Rachel,

550
00:28:58,600 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: it's been a pleasure. I don't know if you have

551
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: any final thoughts, but we loved having you here and

552
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: we'll we have you back on. I know there's been

553
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: some tension. You weren't happy with the oath that Justin

554
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: took as our podcast producer. Did you out yet? We

555
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: tried to, and I'm so sorry I talked over your

556
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: intro song. That's what I was trying to get off.

557
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I was trying to get it out right

558
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,239
Speaker 1: right away, and we're here. You know, life is too

559
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: short to be having I will only let me make

560
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: this proclamation right now. I'm only ever coming back on

561
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: the show of Dan's not here, and you can tell him,

562
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: and you can tell him. I thought this would be

563
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: a nice way to like quickly squatch that because you know,

564
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: we have enough um beefs like Daniel Jeremiah and the

565
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: little show that he has just started. Like that's enough.

566
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: That's enough beef in my life. I don't need anymore.

567
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: Isn't that a hint to you guys though, that maybe

568
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: you need to work on yourselves. If you guys have

569
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: all of these beefs, I'm not worried about that. Here's

570
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: your seat gonna we're gonna be more introspective as we

571
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: get older, Clay, But I don't want you to sit

572
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: the whole show. You should take Rachel's seat. That'll just

573
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: make everyone feel uncomfortable. One thing Um I thought about

574
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: with with Patrick here is that he is such a

575
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: versatile co host. He always just sits in for the

576
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: whole show. He's just another host, just like you, Colleen. Um.

577
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: You just another host on the Around the NFL podcast.

578
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: But there's never like a Clay Bond themed segment. Back

579
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: in the day, there was. It was like something your

580
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: tweets literally like six years ago, Golden segment. That was

581
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: a great segment. But this day where I thought, hey,

582
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: we got a lot of people in here, maybe Claibond.

583
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: He's busy at the news desk at least I thought

584
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: he was, and was only gonna pop in for fifteen minutes.

585
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: I thought, we gotta do a Clay Bond theme segment.

586
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: I don't even know what this segment is. He's surprising

587
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: me with it, but it's some sort of list of

588
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: games where Claybon prepared and I'm excited, and let's do

589
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: it right after a break. That's what the host has

590
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: to do. I mean, you're you're breaking me look bad

591
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: and graver. You can just like me that or text

592
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: me that you probably did, but I've ignored after this break. Alright,

593
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: we're back you. You just fast forwarded through all those

594
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: ads because you just wanted to get to this CLAYBONN break.

595
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: Uh and it's CLAIBONN segment. What what? What are you

596
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: treating us with here? These are games that will be

597
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,959
Speaker 1: incredible on the Twitter dot com. Okay, maybe not on paper,

598
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: but we don't care about paper. Paper isn't real. I

599
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: like that you're leaning into it because when I think

600
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: of NFL games in NFL Twitter, I think Patrick Claibon

601
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: very act of volume shooter, Thank you would say that

602
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: it does land and I appreciate that because that is me.

603
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: I will start. I guess we'll go in the order

604
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: of days that because that makes sense. Chronological September eight,

605
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: The Commanders take on the Lions, all right, okay, and

606
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: nothing gets the juices going on the bird app like

607
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: a quarterback who's not good and is not having a

608
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: lot of success. That has been a part of conversations

609
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: for a really long time. And if Carson Wentz goes

610
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: to the meltdown land, like the self destruction land that

611
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: he finished last season with against the Jacksonville Jaguars, it'll

612
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: be bad for the Commanders. Of course, it'll be bad

613
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: for Carson Wentz. It'll be great for Twitter. I think

614
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: it will make tweeter tweeters fun, especially those that have

615
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: the predilection that that Colleen does, right, And that's when

616
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: I that's when I stopped by, Like I'm basically on

617
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: Twitter strike most days, um, and then I come out

618
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: and then I become a volume shooter just in like

619
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: like a two hour span. Again, the sneaky story here

620
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: is like when watching Wentz and maybe the Commanders not

621
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: do well, and look, they haven't had a likable off

622
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: season as an organization or likable last couple of decades really,

623
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: so it makes sense. But it sounds like people are

624
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: ready to ru against that, and that could be Lions

625
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: coming off hard knocks, maybe coming off a home win

626
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: against the Eagles and maybe going for a two another there.

627
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: One concern is that it's buried on Fox at one

628
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: PM Eastern. So I'm make sure it's a national movement,

629
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: but maybe you're turning it into that. Well what you

630
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: hadn't considered, though, Mark, is what Carson Wentz is planning

631
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: to do when he arrives in Washington, which could get

632
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: the entire nation talking. As we all know, decided to

633
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: really go ahead and start to take command. But my

634
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: favorite drop actually start two in Week two. Alright, gave two,

635
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to game two. We'll go to

636
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: the Jets and the Steelers. And it's perhaps the same

637
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: premise because it's early and we might still be getting

638
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: Mitch at this point in a huge game at home.

639
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: And remember the Thanksgiving game a few years back, where

640
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: like Mitch is throwing screens and slants against the Cowboys

641
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: and everybody was like, Oh, he's back, baby, this is

642
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: the Mitch that was promised. I think it would be

643
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 1: hilarious and spectacular and great and good and everything. We

644
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: need to get the timeline going, well, true, whisky fun

645
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 1: so much. You're absolutely choosing games that Claibon will be

646
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: on fire about and that I don't know about the

647
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,320
Speaker 1: rest of America. Wait, what which game was this? A

648
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: Week four Jets and uh Steelers. Yeah, I wonder the

649
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: Jets Jets schedule here the Jets. I feel like people

650
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 1: would be into the Jets if they could get interested

651
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: the belief, right you hear that they believe and you know,

652
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: should they don't know. There's a lot of a f

653
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: C North teams and fans. I think that would be

654
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: happy to see the Steelers completely collapse. Well it's time.

655
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: Do you think it's gonna happen? No, because that's not

656
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: really their DNA. I mean, what is a collapse like

657
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 1: they missed the playoffs winning like five games or something.

658
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 1: The Bengals Patriots at Brown's. Let's say they're one and

659
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 1: two or oh and three going into that Jets game.

660
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: In Clay Bonne's right, Robinsky is throwing, uh some some

661
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 1: bad passes and they're staring at one in three, They're

662
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: they're trailing a half time. I could see it. Rabinsky

663
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: could vibe losing his job in week one to Kenny Pickett,

664
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: though he could and it depends on the philosophy and

665
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: how they go about that. But it's just the chance,

666
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: just the chance that it might happen. And even though

667
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: it's buried in the same with the first game. Right,

668
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,839
Speaker 1: if there somebody throws a left handed interception or does

669
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: something like, then it's good. We're gonna see the video

670
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: and people are gonna make jokes and it's just good.

671
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: People are watching Red Zone anyways. All right, I will

672
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: get more if if people think I'm being negative, let's

673
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: get more positive. October nine, Tottenham Hotspurs stay in the

674
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: Giants and the Packers um if well, I will get

675
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: personal because if I'm lucky enough to do Game Day

676
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: Live for another year, that's three and a half hours

677
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: every single Sunday where I don't really get to live

678
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: tweet games like like I don't get to go into

679
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: the trance You're busy, or like on primetime games where

680
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: I'm dual will being children and I have to try

681
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: to get Coco Melon going right. You're you're on, are

682
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: on hosting the show that melon. Consider yourself lucky that

683
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: you don't know. You don't know it's in small people

684
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: into a trance like state that allows you a cocktail.

685
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: You give them. No, No, it's it's a YouTube thing.

686
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,879
Speaker 1: It's it's a video which is a cocktail in a way.

687
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 1: But when they are asleep and along with the rest

688
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,280
Speaker 1: of the world, and I can sneak into the garage

689
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: and really go into Twitter right and watch a game

690
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: and live tweet it. That is special. And I know

691
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,800
Speaker 1: that there's probably a whole bunch of other parents on

692
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: the West Coast that would really look forward to that opportunity.

693
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: And so I think that's a great Twitter day, a

694
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: nationally nationally globally televised what We'll make it the entire

695
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: Milky Way sut out. We got a picture of Sagittarius

696
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: a star earlier today, right, they have a photograph of

697
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: the black hole, the center of our galaxy. Maybe it's

698
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: the biggest game in the Alexi at that time. Right,

699
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,879
Speaker 1: Even though this is where you know I often say

700
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: Claibon is too smart for the job he has and

701
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: once again, is this still the around the NFL. I'll

702
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: save it for to um, but but seriously, it's a

703
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 1: good opportunity to take it back to like my late

704
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,359
Speaker 1: twenties and live tweet a football game and Claibon time.

705
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: I think that sounds valuable to us and to you.

706
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,280
Speaker 1: I think Giants could be more watchable this year. I've

707
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 1: thought better for a few years, and I've been wrong

708
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 1: because I think Daniel Jones has a watchable couple of

709
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: seasons in his career. In him, I think he's a

710
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,320
Speaker 1: relatively entertaining player if he was in the right system.

711
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: And it doesn't get much more right than Brian Dable

712
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 1: and spreading out the field and all these He's got

713
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: like four slot receivers. I don't know how that's gonna work.

714
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: Areas Tony Sterling, Sharp one Dale Robinson. It's like and

715
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: there's no one really on the outside. There's Golladay, but

716
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: I think they're just gonna throw the ball like sixty

717
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: times a game. Throw it to sa Quan. It's in Tottenham,

718
00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 1: one of our favorite places to go. Maybe we'll be

719
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: at this game. Mark, maybe maybe you this time. Maybe

720
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: you can, maybe you can come, Maybe you can pull

721
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 1: it off. You're usually busy, you're usually busy traveling all

722
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 1: around the country, so you're a hard person to get.

723
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: But maybe we can get you for this one. This

724
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 1: would be a good one. These early not in a

725
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: suitcase like you could just as a human being. You

726
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: can put me in the overheading these these scenarios, but

727
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: as a as a like a parent here because you're

728
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: right the six thirty am game as I've gotten older,

729
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: is like, actually, I enjoy that game. I'm happy to

730
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,439
Speaker 1: wake up for that game. It's quiet in the house.

731
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: I'm totally with you that. At first, I was like, uh,

732
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 1: you know, like I was, you know, it was almost

733
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 1: like showing your professionalism by waking up for the beginning

734
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: of Bengals Dolphins there. But now I'm totally into it.

735
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: There's no other games that are that quiet, and like,

736
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: you can just watch football. It's like Christmas morning. You

737
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: get an opportunity to really to really enjoy something. Kind

738
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: of cuts into my sleep schedule a little bit. I

739
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: never watched the first half of a London game. That

740
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: is first. It can be real about that, all right.

741
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 1: Also on October nine, after maybe people have gotten rested up, Um,

742
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: the Seahawks visiting the New Orleans Saints. It's a matchup

743
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 1: that we don't get to see a whole lot and

744
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: similar theme Drew lock in the Dome against a really

745
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: good defense. Um, but what do you mean. It might

746
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 1: be bad and it might also be funny. And it's

747
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: not that I'm against these guys in any way. I

748
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,720
Speaker 1: want to see people who are good at football have success.

749
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: I can't help that It's really funny when people at

750
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:41,760
Speaker 1: the quarterback position continue to get chances and they continue

751
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: to be bad, And so all I can really do

752
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: is point out that, hey, this is funny and this

753
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 1: is also really bad and maybe yeah, and then in theory,

754
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: somebody else can get the job Jameis Winston on the

755
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: other side. So I mean, there's a lot of leeway

756
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: for collisions and problems. Could it could be chaotic, which

757
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 1: is always good, always great for the tomline, and this

758
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: UH Saints defense could be about the hardest matchup possible.

759
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: I think people people just think they're going to be

760
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 1: mediocre this year for some reason, even though their defense

761
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 1: is loaded. They start off with Mariota by the way,

762
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,359
Speaker 1: in Week one, like that's a tough Week one, Uh,

763
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 1: then you get the Tom Brady game where it's the

764
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: only team that stops Tom Brady. Then you get Sam

765
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: Donald potentially in week three, this Saints UH team and

766
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 1: defense could be Then they then they go to Tottenham

767
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 1: and yeah, that Shaks game, by the way, a rematch

768
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: of some good playoff matchups and heartbreak really for for

769
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints. Revenge the Beast Quake game, and

770
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: that was tough one all right, and then finally, finally

771
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: we have Thanksgiving date the Patriots visiting the Minnesota Vikings,

772
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: and this one is circumstantial as well. By the third

773
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 1: game on Thanksgiving, everyone is lathered up, people have had

774
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: their nap, presumably, people have eaten, They've probably imbibed some substances.

775
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: The phone batteries have died and been recharged. People are

776
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 1: at their best for that final game on Thanksgiving. And

777
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: I feel like we've gotten some duds. They look good

778
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 1: on paper, but they've been blowouts. The Saints game last

779
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 1: year was terrible. We need the last game not necessarily

780
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: be the best game. Probably the middle game is it's

781
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: a game we want to hold our attention because it's

782
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 1: competing with so many things. But that last game, let's relax,

783
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 1: Let's let's talk about random stuff and also football at

784
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: the same time and kind of appreciate the spectacle that

785
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 1: dominates our likes. You don't need the third one, right,

786
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: You don't need to be overly complex though, No, No,

787
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: you just need remember the Steelers Ravens game where it

788
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: was like I was covering that and it was like

789
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: the one, Hey I'm Mike Tom, I'm gonna run out

790
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 1: on the field and like there's gonna be on Bella

791
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: get like a dangerous concussion at the end, was like

792
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,359
Speaker 1: they're eighteen spinoff stories. We don't need that Thanksgiving nights.

793
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:57,800
Speaker 1: So this is actually the ninth annual Spectacular. But another

794
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 1: anniversary is this is actually the nine straight schedule release

795
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: extravaganza that Mark has mentioned that game and I know that.

796
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 1: I know that for a fact because on the way

797
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: to work this morning, I decided to crank up are.

798
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: I think it was our first ever extravaganda. It was

799
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: back in UH and you did bring up that game

800
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 1: on that EXTRAVAGANZEMA has been the previous Thanksgiving and you've

801
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 1: you've brought it up ever since. There was also a

802
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 1: great moment. I'm just gonna play it now. I was

803
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:29,879
Speaker 1: thinking of playing it after the show, but I want

804
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: to hear it now where the name of this very

805
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: show where we are talking UH first came into being

806
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: and was first decided just a little piece of around

807
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: the NFL history. Let's listen to it. This is a

808
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 1: very special, very special Round League podcast. It is the

809
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,240
Speaker 1: let's see what we're gonna call it is a scheduled

810
00:42:50,280 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: release special bonanza. Sounds good. It's extravaganza. What do we like?

811
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:06,800
Speaker 1: Bonanza extravaganza, extravaganza, extrava bonanza. It is the schedule release

812
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: extrava bonanza. The same thing, the schedule release extravaganza. So

813
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 1: they you know that that's live work shopping, that's podcasting

814
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:33,359
Speaker 1: at its best. That it's always now, it's always, it's

815
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: always great. In the Chris Wesleyan podcast studio to uh,

816
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: to hear his voice, I was looking for like a

817
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:43,399
Speaker 1: clip where West just ranted about how much he hated

818
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: the schedule release show, and at one point I almost

819
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: prompted him to it, saying how much he hated writing

820
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 1: about the schedule release, and instead he just went on

821
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 1: a rant about how bad the recent Superman was. Uh,

822
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,399
Speaker 1: and Uh totally didn't answer it. So, which is which

823
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 1: was very West, very nice. I recommend it if if

824
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: some reason you're a big fan of the show, go back.

825
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:06,919
Speaker 1: That was a fun one, gold standard producer. I will

826
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: say in West's honor that doing these shows for schedule

827
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: release is the most annoying thing of the entire year

828
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 1: because we can't get our hands on the information until

829
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 1: like basically right before we do the show, and we

830
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 1: have to beg people and sometimes like side text people

831
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: and promise them that we won't tell anyone that we

832
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 1: got the schedule, but we need the schedule to actually

833
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: do a show talking about the schedule, and that person

834
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: who you're requesting that from is under fire from the employer,

835
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: our company that if you do share, you're essentially fired,

836
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: so you're putting them in a tight spot. But you're

837
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: a preparation person, so you're I feel like though it's

838
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: it's a sign of um where we are, like we

839
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: our jobs are easier, frankly than they were nine years ago.

840
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 1: We were having to make a content plan and write

841
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 1: all this stuff and do all this stuff. And you're right,

842
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: we a begging and borrowing and stealing. Now I know

843
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: the person to go to. I'm not gonna say it out.

844
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: I just you know, just walk up. You ask a

845
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 1: few days before and and we had to us no

846
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 1: problem areas here. I don't know why, because people you get,

847
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:18,320
Speaker 1: you get with us and you uh and you get it,

848
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: and which is more of a statement on your acuity.

849
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,240
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. To manage the system as opposed

850
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: to like when it's Colleen's actual job to release the schedule,

851
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,919
Speaker 1: but they don't release. There were a couple of years,

852
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: like years ago, where I would be like frantic and

853
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: I would be basing my notes off of leaks on

854
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 1: Twitter and and I'm like, the show is in like

855
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 1: two hours and I still don't have the schedule, Like

856
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 1: how am I going to do a show that that

857
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 1: is slightly hostile on the part of the producers for you, Yeah,

858
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: that that is absolutely ridiculous. We've done this so long though,

859
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 1: that I've heard every schedule release take that there there

860
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: have been, and I've actually had every schedule release take

861
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: that they've been, Like you go through are the cycle

862
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: of it. It's like at first you think you're clever

863
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,959
Speaker 1: for being like, hey, they're not even announcing the games.

864
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: You already know the schedule. They're just announcing the order

865
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: of it. Like okay, everyone's already said that, we know that.

866
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 1: Then there's then there's the response, which is like, well,

867
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: fans schedule, they're planning around it, they do travel, and

868
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 1: so it's very exciting. And I agree with that too.

869
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 1: Now I just I just accept it. I accept the

870
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 1: fact that the NFL is so powerful that this is

871
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 1: even a thing, and that's ultimately going to pay for

872
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,399
Speaker 1: my kids to go to college. Yeah, they're they're they're

873
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: prestige on the tower of the NFL. This day proves it.

874
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:38,240
Speaker 1: There's it is largely meaningless, but I do think probably

875
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,399
Speaker 1: there are hotels all over the place where the phone

876
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: lines are blowing up when you find out what Green

877
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: Bay's schedule is. Kids are so into it. That's how

878
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 1: I know when I was, I don't think it was

879
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 1: it wasn't nearly the same thing, but whenever it was

880
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 1: like you probably got it in the newspaper the next

881
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, that was extremely exciting. But yeah, my kids

882
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:03,359
Speaker 1: want to like write down everything they were. They were

883
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: looking for leaks from me. I gave them like a

884
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 1: couple This morning, I was like, don't tell the kids

885
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 1: at school that it's Bill's RAMS week. One. If there's

886
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:12,760
Speaker 1: a if there's a bubbling up in the Santa Monica

887
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: school system of what we know what's going on with

888
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 1: the RAMS schedule? We know about right rogers like looking

889
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 1: at a Twitter account of some nine year old in

890
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:23,359
Speaker 1: Santa Monica that breaks this news. I'm in trouble. All

891
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 1: of us just silent there. We didn't tell our kids

892
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 1: tell them one game, and I made them promise, Well,

893
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 1: one game is no different than fifty, like you broke

894
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: the seal, and Ellis is super smart, so she could

895
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 1: take that one game and extol She's leaked it to

896
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: the time. Um, do we have any other things we

897
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: want to go over here? Maybe like the revenge games

898
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: we hit? We hit some Carson Wentz. I I saw

899
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: the Matt Patricia versus the Lions game week five. There's

900
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: no one that Lions fans hate more than Matt Patricia.

901
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:56,800
Speaker 1: So I would if I was a Lions fan, I

902
00:47:56,840 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 1: would find it very annoying if Matt Patricia is getting

903
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:03,800
Speaker 1: a lot of love by then as some offensive genius

904
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: that is helping Mac Jones get to another level. I

905
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 1: don't think that's a likely scenario, but that's one of

906
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: many possible scenarios, especially when you consider that the winning

907
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: ist coach and the franchises last forty years was fired

908
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: specifically because Matt Patricia was going to come in and

909
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 1: take the next step and they had to start over

910
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 1: from scratch with the tight ends coach. How about this one?

911
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:24,879
Speaker 1: Like this got on my radar Yank and gok Way

912
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 1: who was now with the Cults, and like you think, oh, well,

913
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 1: you know what, he's he got traded away, like he's

914
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 1: for the Raiders. He's with his old defensive coordinators. Should

915
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:36,879
Speaker 1: be happy. Um no. He His quote was, they'll see

916
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:38,840
Speaker 1: how I feel when we play them, we go to

917
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 1: their house, They'll see why they up. They'll pay WHOA.

918
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: That's a revenge game. A lot of these revenge games

919
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: are nonsense. But how about Doug Peterson also going to Philadelphia?

920
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:51,239
Speaker 1: What about Mike McCarthy going to Green Bay for the

921
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:53,799
Speaker 1: When is that could be under fire at that point?

922
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: We ten that is? That is a great one because

923
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 1: it I know that I do have Doug Peterson. You

924
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 1: can play that I'm what does he say? What is

925
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 1: his little clip? Who? I'm annoyed? Now? Like I would

926
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: play that on on Loop at in Philadelphia over and

927
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 1: over while he's trying to do his job. I I

928
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 1: love that in Gockway thing too, because it's kind of

929
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:21,800
Speaker 1: like you traded me for Rocky in bro. Yeah, genuinely,

930
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 1: he seems highly annoyed. We've got Bobby Wagner against the Seahawks.

931
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 1: A couple of different times he mentioned specifically he was

932
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: gonna be ready for that game more excited for that week.

933
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:40,279
Speaker 1: What else have we got? How about I don't want

934
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 1: this revenge, but I'd just like to see how it

935
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:45,720
Speaker 1: goes down. Josh McDaniels first Bill Belichick, Week fifteen, Sunday

936
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: Night Football, Raiders page. McDaniels already has a win as

937
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 1: a head coach over Belichick. It is pumping his little

938
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:55,840
Speaker 1: fist on the running across. I remember that that was

939
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 1: the pretty much the high point of the McDaniels era.

940
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 1: It is wild as you meant, and uh, mark that

941
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:06,399
Speaker 1: the Patriots have four primetime games in a row. It's

942
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 1: that Thanksgiving game we should have mentioned. They get the

943
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 1: Bills the next week in prime time. They always do

944
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 1: that thing where uh, two teams that played on Thanksgiving

945
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:18,839
Speaker 1: then get the Thursday night game the next week. It's

946
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 1: usually the Cowboys. It's usually in a big spot. It's

947
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 1: like December one, it's week thirteen. It's like right at

948
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:25,320
Speaker 1: the height of the season. This time it's gonna be

949
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 1: Bills Pats. That's pretty good. Then it's at Arizona on

950
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football. And then yeah, the Raiders that you mentioned.

951
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 1: I did notice in general, and I don't want to

952
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: get us in trouble here. But I thought the Thursday

953
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 1: night prime video schedule was not as not as um

954
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 1: juicy as the Fox Thursday night schedule was. And that's

955
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,840
Speaker 1: why you need to embrace alternate means of enjoying the

956
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: football game. If the things get bad, things get a

957
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 1: little sideways. Um, don't don't be that guy that's like, oh,

958
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: there's a night football again, like you're not watching anything else,

959
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:01,839
Speaker 1: like where you like law and there's that's why there's

960
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 1: I think that's why there's thirteen teams with five prime

961
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:06,320
Speaker 1: time games. That's more than ever. It ties for the

962
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 1: most ever. Like last year there was said it's spread out.

963
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: I actually like that better because the more it's spread out,

964
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 1: the more you have some teams that are popping up

965
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: that you haven't seen a ton of. And and hopefully

966
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: you don't have like the Bears who are like in

967
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:22,399
Speaker 1: prime time. So hopefully the Bears are only in three times.

968
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: I'll take it three times in six weeks though. And

969
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 1: it's like to me that that stood out as a

970
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 1: little bit obscene, justin fields could make them. If you

971
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 1: have a good quarterback or an interesting quarterback, you could

972
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 1: be interested. So I'm people also have the most home

973
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 1: prime time games they have four, so I'm not piste

974
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:44,919
Speaker 1: off about that, Angelo um. And then also a couple

975
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 1: of other things that I looked at. Weeks nine and

976
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 1: fourteen are going to kill fantasy teams. Uh, each of

977
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 1: those weeks six teams are on buy. And then this

978
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:59,919
Speaker 1: was interesting that the Packers, Steelers, Texans, and Titans each

979
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: face two teams on their schedule that are coming off buys,

980
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:07,760
Speaker 1: and the Packers, Titans, and Steelers like they aren't easy teams.

981
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:09,959
Speaker 1: I think the Packers probably have it the worst because

982
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,239
Speaker 1: they face the Bills and the Cowboys, who both will

983
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 1: be coming off buys. The Titans have the Chiefs and

984
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 1: the Broncos off buys. Um. So those Steelers have the

985
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 1: Eagles and Bengals. I mean, that's tough with the Bengals,

986
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 1: but that's not that's not easy. Those those teams kind

987
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:27,800
Speaker 1: of got screwed. I never I never like that. You

988
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 1: never liked the team that gets stuck on the road

989
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks. I hate that. Or if

990
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: you have any three game road trips, that's bad. I

991
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 1: didn't I looked and I did not see any. Uh.

992
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: We didn't mention the Christmas Day games by the way

993
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: we have a triple header on Christmas. Packers Dolphins is

994
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 1: the first one, then the Broncos Rams, which we had

995
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: talked about Russell Wilson here. I've gotten word back from

996
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 1: my kids. They don't want to go to the football

997
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: on Christmas, so they do not know, but they could,

998
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 1: like they could go on New Year's Day though. I

999
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: was like that. I brought it up. I thought it'd

1000
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 1: be cool. They had they had so much fun going

1001
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 1: Christmas Week last year to ram Seahawks, but they both

1002
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 1: were like, no, we want to stay home the whole

1003
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:06,760
Speaker 1: day and play with their toys like and I was like, okay,

1004
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 1: that totally too. I just thought to be like a

1005
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:13,279
Speaker 1: one time thing, and it's like it'd be unique, like

1006
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: you're only gonna go to one Christmas Day game probably

1007
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,439
Speaker 1: ever if you're here, Like I just thought, No, they're

1008
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 1: not a New Year's Day though, that's perfect. And then

1009
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 1: Bucks Cardinals is the NBC game. They're doing a Sunday

1010
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:27,919
Speaker 1: night football game on Christmas. They're really trying to ruin

1011
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:31,840
Speaker 1: our families. Speaking of the Cardinals, they buried them and

1012
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 1: it has had to be DeAndre Hopkins centric, but they

1013
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 1: bury them. I think six seven weeks in a row

1014
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 1: at one pm out of the gate, and then they play.

1015
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 1: They have a tough finish. They have a bunch of

1016
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 1: like backed up primetime games into the year, but their

1017
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:46,440
Speaker 1: final five games and we know what they do at

1018
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 1: the end of the season under Cliff Kingsbury historically include

1019
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 1: the Patriots, Broncos, Bucks, and Forts. I still love that

1020
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 1: for them. I mean, I like they're gonna have to

1021
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 1: reverse field and like finish as strong as possible. I

1022
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:02,320
Speaker 1: think when you're trying to do like hardest schedules easy schedules,

1023
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 1: it's really this is the part that West hated was

1024
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: it's it's impossible ahead of time. I think the best

1025
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 1: way to do it, though, is is probably just look

1026
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:12,800
Speaker 1: at which divisions play which divisions. You could kind of

1027
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 1: look at like the Vegas over unders. That makes more

1028
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:17,319
Speaker 1: sense than the strength of schedule we usually put out

1029
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 1: on NFL Network. But to me, all the there's a

1030
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,279
Speaker 1: commonality of all the hard schedules. If you're in the

1031
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 1: a f C East, you've got a very tough out

1032
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: of division schedule in general. So if you're trying to

1033
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 1: be an up and coming team like the Jets are, Dolphins, like,

1034
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: I think it's a little tougher than it would have been.

1035
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 1: And then I think the two Western divisions are very

1036
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 1: difficult just because they're playing each other, and outside of

1037
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 1: the division it's a pretty tough schedule too. So I

1038
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 1: feel like the a f C East, a f C West,

1039
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 1: and NFC West, if you're any of those teams, to me,

1040
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 1: it seems West has like nineteen primetime games too, which

1041
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:53,720
Speaker 1: is the most in the Super Bowl era for any divisions.

1042
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 1: And the Dolphins, to your point, you're Mike McDaniel, you're

1043
00:54:57,239 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 1: a different Dolphins team. Out of the gate. You have

1044
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:02,839
Speaker 1: the Patriot, It's Ravens, Bills, Bengals. And then it late

1045
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 1: in the year, between Week thirteen and fifteen, three straight

1046
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,880
Speaker 1: road games against the forty Niners, Chargers, and Bills. That

1047
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:12,080
Speaker 1: feels like an arrow to the forehead. All people really

1048
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:14,359
Speaker 1: want to see is is some sort of progress. I mean,

1049
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:17,320
Speaker 1: of course, wins and losses ultimately matter, but if you

1050
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 1: have a tough schedule in your competitive hopefully franchises don't

1051
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,799
Speaker 1: bail on new coaches. I think that happens all the time,

1052
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:27,440
Speaker 1: that people end up getting fired or hired based on

1053
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:29,800
Speaker 1: like if they got a little lucky from the schedule.

1054
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,320
Speaker 1: On the flip side, do you guys have any easy

1055
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 1: schedules that stand out to you anything. I think the

1056
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 1: a f C South in general pretty easy because they

1057
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 1: again they get to play each other like you'd rather

1058
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 1: be the culture of the Tech Titans because then you

1059
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:46,240
Speaker 1: get four games against the Jaguars and they're out of division.

1060
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:49,759
Speaker 1: Schedule doesn't look too tough to me. NFC North gets too.

1061
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:51,760
Speaker 1: I don't think that's that tough of division in general,

1062
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:53,399
Speaker 1: and you get to play the a f C South

1063
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 1: out of division, So I like that. In the NFC

1064
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 1: East in general, I think those are the easier ones. Yeah.

1065
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:00,360
Speaker 1: I think Tampa and New Orleans may it out with

1066
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:03,760
Speaker 1: a very successful year with what's going on in Carolina

1067
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 1: and Atlanta and then being good teams as well. Of

1068
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 1: course that means I have to deal with each other,

1069
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 1: but you get too on the other side, and I

1070
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 1: think that things and with the Saints, Uh, the one

1071
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:14,840
Speaker 1: thing that kind of stood out to me was Week seven,

1072
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 1: they played the Cardinals, and I think a prime time

1073
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 1: game or it's a third it's a Thursday night game,

1074
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 1: and that should be the first game that d Hop

1075
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,800
Speaker 1: is back off suspension, so that has a little a

1076
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 1: little bad luck there. So one of the first things

1077
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 1: I did, while we're talking suspension looking at the schedule,

1078
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:33,240
Speaker 1: is like, Okay, what do they do with the Browns

1079
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: because I was just curious if they were going to

1080
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 1: strategize around Watson's potential suspension. But I didn't really have

1081
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 1: that takeaway. My bigger takeaway just from a football angle,

1082
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:51,320
Speaker 1: was their schedule is loaded up with their easiest games

1083
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:54,960
Speaker 1: on paper early and that is extremely that could be

1084
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:57,480
Speaker 1: advantageous to the Browns. I don't know if that was intentional,

1085
00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:01,800
Speaker 1: but they opened at Panthers home for Jets. Then you

1086
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:03,719
Speaker 1: do have a primetime game. So if you are a

1087
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 1: conspiracy theorist, they're not hiding the Browns there in Week

1088
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:09,759
Speaker 1: three while Watson could be suspended, that might be Jocoby Brisset. Well,

1089
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 1: that's where you'd want them to play. You don't want

1090
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:13,040
Speaker 1: to have to talk about Deshaun Watson. So I think

1091
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:15,439
Speaker 1: if anything, they that's when you want the primetime game.

1092
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: That that's a good point, and then they're at Atlanta

1093
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 1: after that. Their schedule, like the rest of the division,

1094
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 1: I think, is extremely challenging, but that is about it.

1095
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 1: That is the easiest four game stretch of the year

1096
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 1: uh for the Browns, and it might line up exactly

1097
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 1: with Deshaun Watson suspension, but we have no idea. I

1098
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:35,000
Speaker 1: do find it like the NFL. The longer this goes,

1099
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 1: the more I'm concerned the NFL is not going to

1100
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 1: do anything about right. I Like, I find it confusing

1101
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 1: that the league would cater to the Cleveland Browns because

1102
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 1: they went they were the team that went and got

1103
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 1: to Shaun Watson and trying to give them cupcakes while

1104
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 1: he's suspended. Yeah, I think there's so many possible permutations

1105
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 1: of the schedule that we could we could draw any

1106
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 1: kind of conclusion right based on how we want to

1107
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 1: view it. Why do you have the cord uh wrapped

1108
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 1: around you? Act of the headset? He does this on

1109
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:05,920
Speaker 1: a frequent basis, so if it were to fall off,

1110
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 1: it wouldn't fall far or well when you're talking on

1111
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 1: the cord, well, the thing is the West clip made

1112
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 1: me think of of how much Chris hated the whole

1113
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 1: pin the thing behind your head. Yes, so it just

1114
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 1: makes me think like, let's make this as ridiculous as possible.

1115
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 1: Let's drap big Claybon fans. It's it's Disturbuted, you're right

1116
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:30,920
Speaker 1: that we probably shouldn't read too much into it, but

1117
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 1: I think you can absolutely read into that they only

1118
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 1: have two prime time games. What's what I'm saying. In

1119
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 1: a world, in a world where Deshaun Watson just got

1120
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:42,560
Speaker 1: traded there and he had never um been accused of

1121
00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:46,520
Speaker 1: all of his sexual assault and misconduct, the Browns would

1122
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 1: be in primetime five times. Absolutely, it would be a

1123
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 1: premier team. So the other prime time game is in

1124
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 1: week eight. We don't know if Watson will be back

1125
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 1: by then. Necessarily either that's against the Bengals. But yeah,

1126
00:58:57,560 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 1: that was really surprising. They are at one p m.

1127
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:04,160
Speaker 1: Four or fifteen times this schedule, war than any team

1128
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 1: and looks like Cleveland schedule during the eighteen years that

1129
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 1: they'd win about four games this season and hopefully right uh,

1130
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 1: there was no decision made by anybody that would try

1131
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 1: to hide from facilitating a conversation around sexual part and

1132
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 1: I think that's absolutely because, I mean, we should do

1133
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 1: that anyway. We should do that regardless of whether Deshaun

1134
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 1: Watson is playing football. But hopefully it's just you know,

1135
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 1: there's so many scheduled permutations. And if this was Baker

1136
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:30,440
Speaker 1: Mayfield and he would be like, Ah, this is a

1137
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 1: personal offense. They don't want us, that nobody believes in us.

1138
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 1: I'm Baker Mayfield. Yeah, but like instead, you know this,

1139
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 1: maybe he'll get traded. Wow. So we so we get

1140
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 1: a Baker. Baker is going to join the Panthers. He's

1141
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 1: gonna beat the Browns in week one. Then we're gonna

1142
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 1: have the Sessler handsas Bawl and Zac Wilson's gonna beat

1143
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 1: the Browns in week two. Sam for the fact Greg

1144
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 1: that I'm not a Browns family, I'm not. Now you're

1145
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 1: gonna actually I don't know if you'll enjoy it, but

1146
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:00,120
Speaker 1: it's not gonna bother you like it normally would. And

1147
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 1: then they would be oh and two heading to the

1148
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 1: Steelers on Thursday night. We three. That would be a

1149
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 1: tough situation and the football gods maybe they would be

1150
01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 1: speaking there. But that's that that that's too much of

1151
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 1: a downer to go out on. Let's go out on

1152
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 1: something positive. Landing the plane that had no experience, how

1153
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 1: about that guy was incredible. It was a single engine

1154
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 1: Cessna flying from the Bahamas to Florida, and this guy

1155
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 1: gets on the air traffic control radio and it's like,

1156
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 1: we have a serious problem here. Are pilot is incapacitated.

1157
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 1: And the air traffic controller was like, Roger, what's your position?

1158
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 1: And the guy was like, I have no idea. I

1159
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:43,440
Speaker 1: don't know how to fly a plane. I don't know

1160
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 1: any of this. And they ended up The guy who

1161
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 1: was controlling the traffic was also a flight instructor, and

1162
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:54,760
Speaker 1: he literally talked him through landing the plane and he

1163
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 1: landed it, like beautifully. When did this happen? This happened yesterday.

1164
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 1: You were breaking the news. To me, that is an

1165
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 1: exciting story, and you you have been a pilot before.

1166
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 1: People don't know a student pilot. So, and my dad's

1167
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:08,800
Speaker 1: a flight instructor and an air traffic controller. So this

1168
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 1: uh took about a half hour away of my morning

1169
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 1: where I was supposed to be looking over the schedule.

1170
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 1: But I was like, what he did? What? I need

1171
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 1: to hear the audio, I need to see the video.

1172
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:21,120
Speaker 1: Who is this guy? That's amazing? Like yeah, of course,

1173
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:23,800
Speaker 1: my brain is so ruined. The first thing I thought was, oh,

1174
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 1: well they were ferrying some sort of illegal material and

1175
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 1: the deal got bad in mid air, this person knocks

1176
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: the other person out and then feign's ignorance to the

1177
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 1: entire experience of flying in order to escape the authority.

1178
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 1: That's so highly possible. Everything you just said like it

1179
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 1: just is mark any any final thoughts. The only thing

1180
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 1: that I would like to see outside of football, I mean,

1181
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 1: if that's what we're going, is what if we too,

1182
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 1: like a schedule release on Earth where like you find

1183
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:57,560
Speaker 1: out on like January one, for like holy like Halloween's

1184
01:01:57,560 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 1: on June six this year, or like Christmas is on

1185
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:02,440
Speaker 1: Mar nine, like we not every year, but like one

1186
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 1: year where we are like that. That's the only thing

1187
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 1: that could be bigger than what the NFL has created.

1188
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 1: If it went down and suspect of changing my birthday

1189
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 1: this year or so people their never let them know

1190
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 1: where you're going. I that was so beautiful that we

1191
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 1: need to make that an episode. I at least do

1192
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:22,960
Speaker 1: a schedule release of like our podcast and maybe our world,

1193
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 1: we could release some dates for what's coming up. I

1194
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:28,479
Speaker 1: think that is a million dollar idea. We're not gonna

1195
01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 1: talk we get a sponsor for that. I think we

1196
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:34,200
Speaker 1: should go out on that. Um Graver, your Titans are

1197
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:37,200
Speaker 1: are not in prime time five time, it's maximum, So

1198
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:41,680
Speaker 1: that gives your team another thing to complain about. The

1199
01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:44,800
Speaker 1: Titans Twitter verse will be on fire, no doubt. Um.

1200
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 1: But they're they're they're, they're in there plenty um. This

1201
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 1: has been a thin slice of heaven. GHO Celtics Friday Night.
