The first time that we worked together, 61 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: we didn't even really work together. We were sitting beside 62 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: each other getting our makeup done at the draft and 63 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: I looked over we weren't even having a conversation, and 64 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: I was on my phone and you were like making 65 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: out and I just looked over it you and I 66 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: was like, Patrick, you're really funny, and You're like you're 67 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: funny too, and I was like, why are only done? 68 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: Let's make some funnies together. Here we are, and I'm 69 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: so excited to announce this is not the only thing 70 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: that we are doing. You are joining Game Davut on 71 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: NFL Network this whole season. The whole time. I get 72 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: to sit there with you guys. Thank you. It's like 73 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: I sit in the corner and you do all the 74 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: heavy lifting and I just get to I don't even 75 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: know how this has happened. I feel like I won 76 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: some sort of contest. Well, you have to work with 77 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: Greg every single week, but you are usually a host. 78 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: You're in my position most of the time. So what 79 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: does it feel like to kind of like sit elsewhere. 80 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: It's it's freeing. It's like being out of the matrix. 81 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: Like I feel plugged in now if if if I 82 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: lose my IFB with you know, behind the curtain, that's 83 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 1: that's the thing in the ear that people in the 84 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: movies like for some reason make very obvious. Yeah, and 85 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: it's like, okay, like we see that. Yeah, but on 86 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: TV it's very important for the host to have that. 87 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: But but when you're doing all the work, it's like, oh, 88 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I'm just kind of here. And if 89 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: Rachel says something, I can respond and I can literally 90 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: strike Greg, which we try not to do. That's why 91 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: they separated you. Yeah, I think it's You're sitting beside Cynthia. 92 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: Now I'm sitting beside Greg. So good news is I 93 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: could strike You are the official Greg striker. Let's talk 94 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,679 Speaker 1: about this crew. It's gonna be me, you, Cynthia Freeland, 95 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: Greg every single Friday, and I think it's like all 96 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: over the weekend. You guys can watch it a bunch 97 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: of different times. Um, you have been friends and have 98 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: worked with Greg from much longer than I have. Right now, Okay, 99 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: what do I need to know about the scar? What? What? 100 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: What are these secrets that old Greg is hiding? The 101 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: secret to Greg Rosenthal is if you have to shade him, 102 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: wait till you're on air to do it, Okay, because 103 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: there's there's very little that he can actually do. If 104 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: you do it all for the air because it is 105 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: a small Yeah, well, he's just had he has so 106 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: many connections, right, He literally built Roota World brick by 107 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: brick with his bare hands. If you, if you, if 108 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 1: you run a foul of the Rosenthal matrix in football 109 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: in general, it's gonna come back and bite you. Okays, 110 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 1: you're saying, don't mess with him. Don't mess with him 111 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: unless you are in a position to see how he 112 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: would retaliate, because when he can like little finger, yeah, 113 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: like behind he gets his little birds going, it'll put 114 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: you in a situation. Paul's little finger that scares me. 115 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: I will say, there's been a couple of times I've 116 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: like thrown him some shade on air live and he 117 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: throws it right back so fast, and I was like, 118 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: I immediately regret that I suit him. And then he'll 119 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: remember it too. You will forget, you know, Rachel. It 120 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: was it was week three totally and you said this 121 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: that you're wrong. Um, okay, let's talk about a little 122 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 1: bit of football. We've got. Week one is started Thursday night. 123 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: Football has already happened, but we've got a bunch of 124 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: games to look forward to this week. Now. Usually at 125 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: the top of this show, we talk about like storylines 126 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: that are happening in the week. You know, is Tom 127 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: Brady getting a divorce, all of those things. But I 128 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: kind of want to look ahead to the entire season 129 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: and talk about the overarching the top five storylines that 130 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: I feel like are very important going into week one 131 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: and the rest of the season. So I'm going to 132 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: tee you up and we can just kind of talk 133 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: about both of these things. Are all of these things Okay, 134 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: So coming in at number five, I ranked them, and 135 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: you also tell me if you disagree, if somebody's got 136 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: to be higher. Uh, just all overall. Tom Brady's mental health, 137 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: his well being. He's forty five. He is going through 138 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: some things. Okay, we saw him in that press con. 139 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: He's going through some well, he said Tom Moulesby, he said, 140 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: he's going through some stuff. I'm thirty, I'm going through 141 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: We're all going through some stuff. But like you could 142 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: tell by the look on his face, he's like really 143 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: going through at the bags. I don't think I've ever 144 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: seen Tom Brady with bags under his eyes. He's the 145 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: kind of guy that's got frozen spoons in his freezer, 146 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: you know, he's always looking right. How do you think 147 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: what do you think that this guy is going to 148 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: look like this season? I kind of feel like he's 149 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: going to be like Football's all I have right now. Yes, 150 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: And I am going to prove to you all why 151 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: I came out of retirement. I'm gonna prove or approve 152 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: to Jaselle why zell Ney to be out here. I 153 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: just feel like there's a lot more on the line 154 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: for him this year. What do you think? I think 155 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: Tom Brady is different than everybody else. Ye, everybody else 156 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: can go through things. Tom Brady's experienced an entire lifetime 157 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: of things, but this is the thing he was put 158 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: on earth to do. Yes, I worry about the rest 159 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: of the team, Tristan Worth, So I worry about the 160 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: offensive line, the injuries up front. But the answer to 161 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: your actual question, the number five is Tom Brady getting 162 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: a divorce. It's a noe. I think financially it's it's two. Yeah. No, honestly, 163 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: it's just too ingrained. I think there are all those 164 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: years where it's like Tom Brady's taken a pay cut 165 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: to help the Patriots. Yeah, I think maybe, yeah, things 166 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: were working out financially for Tom and Giselle. Yeah, and 167 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: I think the marriage is strong. The team is not 168 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: as strong as tom Brady's a fit. Like there was 169 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: the whole crypto situation, Like I think that was a problem. 170 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: But once the football comes and it's tom Brady throwing 171 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: it to people, it's tom Brady Like, I'm done. I've 172 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: been saying like it's gonna fall apart for twelve years. 173 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: I know me too. Why have we ever learned our lesson? 174 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: Because we're stubborn. I would call myself dumb. You can 175 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: be stubborn. I'm just dumb. Okay, coming in a number four, 176 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: Will Aaron Rodgers win a third MVP back to back 177 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: to back? Baby, It's very hard to do. He did 178 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: some things in the offseason. He's got some tats, he 179 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: went to match beau, he did some things. Okay, uh, 180 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,599 Speaker 1: And I feel like he is, you know, working on 181 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: his It's crazy because I have just been writing a 182 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,599 Speaker 1: sketch uh with Aaron Rodgers. And I went back and 183 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: looked at all of his um like in season interviews 184 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: and just like interviews of him and how he was speaking. 185 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: He's very like blunt, like a very serious voice and monotone. 186 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 1: And then I went back and watched the most recent 187 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: Pat McAfee interview when he's talking about his officers while 188 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: he did uh, and he is just so much he's 189 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,839 Speaker 1: just so zen, and he's so calm and confident and 190 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: who he is. And his hair is beautiful, his skin 191 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: is flawless. He just looks like he's in a really 192 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: good place. And obviously he lost a want in this offseason, 193 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 1: and like, who knows what that is going to look like. 194 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 1: But what do you think is Aaron Rodgers going to 195 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: win his third MVP back to back to it's fourth 196 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: VA back to it. It's just it's so hard to do, 197 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 1: especially when quarterbacks gonna put up huge numbers, and you 198 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: kind of need DeVante to put up some of the 199 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: numbers that he's been putting up. And so I think 200 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: the Packers will be good. Much like Tom Brady, despite 201 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: all the change, all the different vibes in the offseason, 202 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: the way he's approaching interviews, the way he talks about 203 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: his teammates, once you're on that field, he's still gonna 204 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: be Aaron Rodgers. But the outcomes for the Packers are 205 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: gonna be a little different. They're gonna to do things 206 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: a little differently. Yeah, especially when we look at the 207 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: way things went against the forty nine ers in the playoffs. 208 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna run the ball a lot. I 209 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: think Aaron Jones is gonna get a lot of targets. 210 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: They're gonna have to feel out the wide receiver situations. 211 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: But as far as twelve, he's gonna he's gonna be twelve. 212 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: He's gonna do some weird stuff. He's gonna have some 213 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: odd interviews. He's gonna say some things where we're like, WHOA, 214 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 1: why would you ask him that question? Why are you 215 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 1: showing your feet on cameras? So a lot of those 216 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: we don't want to see feet. It's like a whole 217 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: timeline of feet. But still twelve, just it's just hard 218 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 1: to win three. Where does he go? So obviously you 219 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: are a big host in the Fantasy Live every single day, 220 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: every single week throughout the season. I'm sure you're in 221 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: how many fantasy teams six right now? I keep it low, 222 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: like ranking in Marcus and Floyal, they're in like twelve leagues. 223 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: Like Cynthia, everybody wants Cynthia Freeland and their fantasy because 224 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 1: they want to draft a team last night, and she's 225 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: just easily like a eating pizza, like she actually does 226 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: it telepathically. Oh yeah, she's she's a g But where 227 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 1: would you put Aaron rott Laker? Are you going after 228 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers? No, I'm with and people like Jamie Erdol 229 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: saw Floyals quarterback rankings on Good Morning Football, She's like, 230 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,599 Speaker 1: what Aaron Rodgers at thirteen? I'm I'm team I'm with. 231 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: There's just so many quarterbacks where the offense has to 232 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: run through them, right, running and passing it. And Aaron 233 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: is going to hand the ball off more this season. 234 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 1: And as far as the down the field targets, Aaron 235 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: Rodgers is not a huge risk taker. Yeah, he's seeingly 236 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: accurate quarterback, but if it's not, their airs are gonna 237 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: throw the ball out. I think it's just hard for 238 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: him to get in that top five, top six quarterbacks. 239 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: Just so curious to see what this team is gonna 240 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 1: look like, what he is going to look like. He 241 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 1: just looked so mellow and so like confident in himself 242 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: and just feeling good. So I'm really excited to see 243 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 1: what the Packers look like. Okay, number three, just an 244 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: overarching look at what the heck the Arizona Cardinals are 245 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: going to do? Who are who? What is their identity? 246 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: Who are they going to be? You got two major storylines, 247 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,319 Speaker 1: three major storylines going into the season. Obviously everything going 248 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: on with Kyler, we are like, I don't even want 249 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: to get into it. There was so much stuff that, Okay, 250 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: you've got a major weirdness happening. You got d Hop 251 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: out for six games, right, that is gonna weigh heavily 252 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: on them. They've got in season hard knocks, which I'm 253 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 1: just tying to d Hop because that's going to be 254 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: interesting to watch. And then like Cliff has the weight 255 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: of the world kind of like does he keep his 256 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 1: job if they struggle? He just got the extension. It 257 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: seems like everything, all the things coming into the all season, 258 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,959 Speaker 1: it's like, what's going to happen with Arizona. Ultimately the 259 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: answer was, hey, we're chill, Like, Hey, we said a 260 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:19,319 Speaker 1: lot of stuff. We went through some things. Yeah, like 261 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: get on the sticks, Kylie. Do you think they're going 262 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: to be good? I do think I do think they 263 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: will be good. There's been these back to back seasons 264 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 1: where it's been late season collapse. Of course that coincides 265 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: with losing new Copkins late in the year. But they're 266 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: just going to get better. And of course the division 267 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: has some real competition, but it's as far as the 268 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: quality of the team because wins and losses. Who knows, 269 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: the ball could bounce either way. I think the team 270 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: is going to be better. Yeah. I think Kyler trust 271 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: cliffmore and I think Cliff trust Kyler Moore. There was 272 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: an incident where Kyler is calling the plays and they 273 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: asked They asked Cliff, like, why are you doing It's 274 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: like to show him this. It's not so hard and 275 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: that's not so easy. And then they go and score 276 00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: back to back touchdowns and so I think. I think 277 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: it's healing. It's all about reunion and love and trust. Okay, 278 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: I'm into that, but there is a teeny tiny part 279 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 1: of me, and if there's any Cardinals person listen to 280 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: this now, there's a teeny tiny part of me that 281 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: wants to see them struggle a little bit out of 282 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: the game. I just want Kyler to grow up a 283 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: little bit. I want him to just be like, oh, okay, 284 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: I gotta put the controller down and actually watch tape 285 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: and be I'm good a boy. I don't know where 286 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: that came from I want the Cardinals to struggle a 287 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: little bit. I just have a little bit of adversity 288 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: off the top, and then I think that go on 289 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: with through your season and be great as a as 290 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: a weirdo journalist. I just have the request. Yeah, when 291 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: it comes to Kyler and maturity or whatever it is 292 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: that people say the thing, what's the thing that he's doing? 293 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: I just want to know, like, what's the thing, Like, 294 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: is it from two o'clock to seven? Just be honest about, 295 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: like what's going on? Like what's happening if you're if 296 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: you're a shadowy Cardinals figure and you're like our quarterbacks 297 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: not trying hard, Well, what's he doing instead that? That's 298 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: all I'm looking for is when you whoever sourcing this, 299 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: if you get it, like ask for some context. Yeah, right, 300 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: Like that's all I want. I just want to know. 301 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: I just want to Rachel, you just love drama. You 302 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: want to see the drama that's okay, smart, exciting. I 303 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: like messi though, because it gives us stuff to talk 304 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: about every single week, Like every single week we come 305 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: on television and we have to talk storylines. I want 306 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: juicy storylines. I don't want to just talk stats all 307 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: the time. Who was listening to stats from this girl? Anyways? Okay, 308 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: number two, Okay, do you think power ranking is so 309 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: far so good? I'm right, I'm right there with you. 310 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: Number two. We've talked about this way too many times 311 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: on this show. I don't want to get dark, Okay, 312 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: but I gotta say the Browns drama comes in at 313 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: number two. I don't want to give it. I don't 314 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: want to give it the number one, even though it's 315 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: probably the number one in my world. I don't want 316 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: to give it the number one. We've been talking about 317 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: this before way too long. Their win total is eight 318 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: and a half. From what I saw on some things, 319 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: eight and a half is that? That was kind of 320 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: crazy to me. I mean, I know they obviously have 321 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: an incredibly talented team. He kind of Chobby gone, Miles Garrett, 322 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: you got all of these great players, you got Jacoby Brissette. 323 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: What do you think eight and a half. I think 324 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: it makes sense. It makes sense to me because this 325 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: team was able to do what they did last year 326 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: with essentially half of a quarterback. Yes, and it was 327 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: you wonder what was the deal with Case Kingdom because 328 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: Baker literally couldn't do things with both of his arms 329 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: that normal humans should be able to do when he 330 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: was playing football, and so it's like, at what point 331 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: do you put your backup quarterback? In either way, that's 332 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: over of course, the giant cloud hanging over the team 333 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: in the way that they facilitated conversation around sexual violence, 334 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: which everybody should be able to facilitate a conversation. But 335 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: they're kind of struggling with that, not just kind of 336 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: there absolutely are. So it's it is drama, it's it's 337 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: still a good team, and the Haslams honestly have put 338 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: everybody in a situation where they have to tiptoe. If 339 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: there's an answer for any of this, it has to 340 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: come from the top. And until that happens, what's everybody 341 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: else supposed to do? Okay, I'm going to double this. 342 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: On the other side, you have Baker and Carolina. He 343 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 1: just came out with these like, oh, the shirts are 344 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: super guys. There's some mohun We were big browns. We 345 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 1: love Baker. You gotta admit, tell me to my face 346 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: they're bad. I like them. The it's not like Bakers 347 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 1: sitting there and with a whiteboard coming up with you 348 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: you don't think so anying his ps. People who do 349 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: it for him, that know his personality, of course it 350 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,239 Speaker 1: will approve him. But he didn't. He didn't come up 351 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: with it was like, yeah, that's awesome. It's like I 352 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: was previously attached via cable, but now I'm shirts to 353 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: say I'm not good at football. I don't know. Wow, 354 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: just something fun and good. Yeah, leash, you're already out 355 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: on Baker. What happened? No, I'm saying I approve of 356 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 1: this massa anymore. No, I didn't say that. I'm saying 357 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,360 Speaker 1: what would you? Just? Did you hear that too? Yeah? 358 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: He says, the man's off the leash. Mom's just litly 359 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: week by weeks showing us all who he is. So, 360 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 1: but what do you think on that side of the table, 361 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,919 Speaker 1: how does Baker come out of this? Do you think 362 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 1: he weeks wins week one? I honestly don't. I'm gonna 363 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: need I'm just gonna need to see it, right, I'm 364 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: just gonna need to see it. I'm taking the Browns 365 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 1: because it's it's been too often. Right. I saw Andrew 366 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: Luck hurt his hold his shoulder, try to come back 367 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: and say, you know what, I'm done with football. I 368 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: saw Cam Newton have the biggest arm I've ever seen 369 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: and then completely fall apart after shoulder surgery. I'm just 370 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: gonna need to see Baker do it and do it 371 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 1: at a high level before I just start believeing It's 372 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: It's really hard because we talk about fantasy. It's like 373 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: Dj Moore is a great player and we've been wanting 374 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: to have a quarterback, and it's like, yeah, now that 375 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: Baker is there, I just need I need to see 376 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: it first. I need eyes on it. It's like Tom 377 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: Brady retiring, I sitting next to me. I need to 378 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 1: sem sipping a peanut Colada on a beach. Um. Okay, 379 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: and then number one. This is just like an oh, 380 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: this is kind of why I'm like spread myself then 381 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 1: around the league. Here are the teams we think are 382 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: gonna be good, be good. And I'm talking Dolphins with 383 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: Tua and Tyreek. I'm talking Chiefs without Tyreek, I'm talking 384 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: rams Can Stafford, hold up Chargers. Basically, my question is 385 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: do you think that this league that we are heading 386 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,719 Speaker 1: into the season that we were heading into, we've got 387 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 1: some big surprises ahead of us. I think all of 388 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: these teams are gonna be good. There's a butt, and 389 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: that butt is that randomness plays such a huge part 390 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: in how all these things play out. We talk about 391 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: the AFC West all the time, like, oh my gosh, 392 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: these quarterbacks, everything's gonna be amazing. They can't all possibly 393 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: every game exactly. But when one of these really good 394 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: teams doesn't make the playoffs, of course, the way we 395 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 1: look at sports, it's like, oh, you're bad. Yeah, you're bad, 396 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: and you did everything wrong right. The Bengals had no 397 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: chance to win the Super Bowl because Aaron Donald was 398 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: gonna get that sack every time. But these things aren't predetermined, 399 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: like we play the games for a reason. They're all 400 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 1: gonna be good, but everybody can't win. I think that 401 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 1: we were about to have the most exciting postseason that 402 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: we have experienced in a really long time. There are 403 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 1: just so many high caliber teams that are kind of 404 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:15,919 Speaker 1: like the NFC's like anybody's game. The AFC is completely stacked. Uh. 405 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: I'm just very excited for football, because football. We got 406 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: these flyers in the office today. I forget what they said, 407 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: but it was very it was it was very Oh 408 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: my gosh, does anybody know what those Flyers said, or 409 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: the Flyers. I didn't see that. It was like a 410 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: flag and it's like it's good to have football or 411 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: something that's need them or maybe the phrase. I just 412 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 1: thought it was better than the one we actually got. 413 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: But but yes, maybe you should make the Flyers next year. 414 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: Somebody call me Patrick. Thank you so much for coming 415 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: on this podcast.

Sometimes we'll get tonight, Hey, 419 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 1: welcome back. It's time for Pick six, presented by Draftking Sportsbook. 420 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: We are picking our six favorite games from the upcoming slate. 421 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: These are the games we are most excited about for 422 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 1: week one, and I'm gonna go through some of these. 423 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,159 Speaker 1: The boys are gonna make their picks. It's gonna be 424 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: a real good time. Maybe just if you're in the car, 425 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 1: just talk to yourself, I'm because you can feel like 426 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: you're a part of the group. You know, that'd be 427 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 1: fun for you. Okay. Game one that I'm looking forward 428 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: to is I think this is obvious Browns at Carolina. 429 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: Carolina is favored by one and a half. Um, I 430 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: have this is a tough one because I feel like 431 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: there's a lot of like revenge on both sides. We're 432 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 1: gonna get to the best. Worst thing that I've heard 433 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 1: all week, and a lot of it is the Browns 434 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: and Bakers is going back and forth, and I love 435 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: it because I love drama. I am going Carol Lina 436 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: and I'm going twenty three twenty. I think it is 437 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: going to be a very close game, but it's just 438 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: mostly because I want this to happen. I don't know 439 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: if it is going to happen. Obviously, we've talked about 440 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 1: the Browns are so talented. Baker, what is he going 441 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: to look like healthy? Because he was so unhealthy last year. 442 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: He's got those terrible shirts. What do you guys think? Moh, 443 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 1: I'm really curious who you're picking. I like what you're doing. 444 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: You're speaking it into existence. I'm also going to ride 445 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,479 Speaker 1: with my guy Baker, and I think he's gonna come 446 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 1: out with a win. Revenge graver. I'm actually picking the Browns. 447 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: I hate everything they did this offseason. Obviously, I don't 448 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: support anything about acquiring Deshaun Watson and paying him so 449 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: much money. However, Deshaun Watson's not there for eleven games, 450 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 1: and you've talked about feeling for the other guys on 451 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: that roster, the Miles Garrett's, Nick Chubbs, Denzel Ward, all 452 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: the talented players they have. The entire world is rooting 453 00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:00,239 Speaker 1: against them for something that their front office did. They 454 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: don't even have Deshaun Watson around to like worry about 455 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: that bad juju. Right now, they probably have a pretty 456 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 1: strong our backs against the wall, us against everyone mentality. 457 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: Plus they know the revenge aspect from Baker, like they're 458 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: gonna want to get revenge too. I don't trust Matt 459 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: Rule as a head coach either, So I'm gonna I'm 460 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,439 Speaker 1: gonna pick the Browns, none of them. There's nothing, the facts, 461 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: all facts. I see a lize um. I just can't 462 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 1: bring myself to do that. Yeah, I feel you. I 463 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: just it's too much. I need to speak it into 464 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: existence that bigger is gonna ball out and the team's 465 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 1: going to do well. I totally understand. But looking at 466 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: Carolina as a team compared to what the Browns were, 467 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I don't believe one game 468 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: and what seventeen I'm saying the street. You can look 469 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: at it either way. The streak will continue or they're 470 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: due for a win. So the Streek will Their back 471 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 1: is two against the wall. It's too much pressure for 472 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 1: them to handle. Okay. Game number two that I'm really 473 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,719 Speaker 1: looking forward to is Patriots at Dolphins. The Dolphins are 474 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: favored by three and a half. This is so interesting 475 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 1: because a, the Dolphins are a Bill Belichick's kryptonite for 476 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 1: some reason. Every single time he plays this team in Miami, 477 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: it's just it just never goes well for him. I 478 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: don't I don't know what goes on, but I'm going 479 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 1: with the Patriots here. I have them winning fourteen to ten. 480 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: Nothing crazy. The Patriots defense last season was so good. 481 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: They held their opponents to like ten points for seven 482 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: games straight. Wow, Like they were solid. I don't know 483 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: what's going on with the play calling, and I know 484 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 1: there was a lot of like offseason drama. We don't 485 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: know who's playing whatever. I don't know what's going on 486 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: with that. But also I just want to I want 487 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 1: two to marinate for like a second, like I need 488 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: to see that. I need to see what the two 489 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 1: A Tyreek situation is going to look like. They obviously 490 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,679 Speaker 1: have a new head coach who I love. I loved who. 491 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 1: I just want to see it. I guess this is 492 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: just a factor of me thinking that i'd just trust 493 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,479 Speaker 1: Bill Bell check a little bit more in this situation. 494 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: What do you guys like? I love Mike McDaniel. I 495 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: think I think he's gonna bring good energy. Is that club? 496 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 1: The Dolphins are the fastest team in the league. Yeah, 497 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Dolphins favored by three and 498 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: a half. I do too. I don't know if they 499 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: win this game by three and a half. I feel 500 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 1: like I would pick them to win by a field goal. 501 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: But I do like the Dolphins to win. We should do. Okay, 502 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: So we're gonna do these picks every single week, right, 503 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: there's gotta be I'll track it somebody. Yeah, we gotta. 504 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: We gotta come up with something in this next week that, like, 505 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: the biggest loser of the week has to do something 506 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 1: like drink a whole jar of pickle juice. I'd be 507 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: or eat spam. I love spam. That would not be 508 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 1: that should get that to me if I win, you 509 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: know what I mean? Okay? Game number three Raiders at 510 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: Chargers um I'm going Raiders twenty seven to twenty three. 511 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 1: And I know that that is very controversial because the 512 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: Chargers are my team. The Chargers are my team, baby, sure, 513 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 1: but I actually because I love the Raiders. The Chargers 514 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: are usually very exciting. I picked them for a reason. 515 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: They've got a very hot offense. And then you've got 516 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,919 Speaker 1: the Raiders with also a very hot offense. You've got 517 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: Davante Adams, You've got Josh McDaniels, who is there. He's 518 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: not gonna you know, he's given He's been given this 519 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 1: opportunity before, and he's gone back to the Patriots. Right, 520 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 1: He's got to have faith that this team is going 521 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: to do something special for him to leave the Patriots 522 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: and become a head coach again. I want to see 523 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: an exciting a game again like we saw going into 524 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,719 Speaker 1: overtime last year. It was a madness. That was one 525 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 1: of my favorite games of the postseason. I the season 526 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: right before the postseason, thank you, that was my favorite 527 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: game of the season, or one of them. I'm going Raiders. 528 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: I feel like they went through so much last year. 529 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: They've got to be super close Raiders. Would you like 530 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: I'm going the Chargers? I like the Raiders too. Yeah, 531 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: I've picked Vanta Adams on like five fantasy teams now, 532 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: I've been drafting him ahead of Jamar Chase. Like, I 533 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 1: really feel like this Raiders team is going to be exciting. 534 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: I think this Raider team is going to be very, 535 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: very and they're underdogs in this game. I know they're 536 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: on the road, but like a half, are they really 537 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: on the road. You know, there's a lot of Los 538 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: Angeles Raiders fans still like Raiders fans in LA. Yeah, 539 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: it's exactly exactly. That's a good point. Game four Chiefs 540 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 1: at Cardinals. Cardinals are a big underdog here. This is 541 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 1: a surprisingly big game by six. Yeah, almost a full Yeah, 542 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: it's kind of crazy. This one's very This one is 543 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: maybe the most interesting to me out of the bunch 544 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,360 Speaker 1: because Chiefs obviously everyone's like, well, you know, they don't 545 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: Patrick Moos doesn't have Tyreek Hill anymore. He's a crazy player. 546 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: He makes that offense, what that offense is. They don't 547 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: seem to think that it's going to make a difference. Obviously, 548 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 1: what else would they say. So I'm really interested to 549 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 1: see what they look like. And then you have the Cardinals, who, 550 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,160 Speaker 1: you know, we talked about it earlier in the show. 551 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: They've been a kind of a complete mess this whole offseason. 552 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 1: They don't have DeAndre Hopkins, Kyler Murray, who knows what 553 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 1: he's going to look like. I am going Chiefs thirty 554 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: two to twenty one, like a big, kind of a 555 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: bigger gap. Wow, what do you think? You're surprised that 556 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: they were a big favorite? Yeah? I think the Chiefs 557 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: will win this game. But something that the sports books 558 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 1: do a lot is they put the Chiefs number really 559 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: big because they know people want to bet on the Chiefs, 560 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: so sometimes they exaggerate that number a bit. And I 561 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: think the Chiefs will win this game. They could win 562 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 1: this game by a touchdown, but I don't know. I 563 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 1: might pick the Cardinals too, only lose by like four 564 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: or something. I'm going Chiefs blowout. Travis Kelcey, come on, yeah, 565 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 1: come on now, let's go. Okay. Game number five Bucks 566 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: at Cowboys Sunday Night Football. Um, Like we were talking 567 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: again earlier, this is all Brady has Football's all Brady 568 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: has h. The Cowboys faced the Bucks to open the 569 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one season. Dallas defense didn't log a single 570 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: sack of Tom Brady last season Also, Mike McCarthy came 571 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: out and said, We're not gonna sit here and try 572 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: to play chess with Tom Brady. We're focused on the 573 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 1: basics and playing our game. Don't you kind of have 574 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: to play chess with Tom Brady. Tom Brady's gonna be 575 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: playing checkers with Tom Brady's playing chess against you. Yeah, 576 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 1: so you're out at the table or what what are 577 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:18,479 Speaker 1: you gonna play? Go fish? No? No, no, that being said, Cowboys, 578 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: do you have to have some really exciting pieces on defense? Um, 579 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: I think that this is a closer game. But I'm 580 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: still just like we were saying, Yeah, I've we've doubted 581 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 1: Brady for so many years. I still until he's gone, 582 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,239 Speaker 1: I'm going Bucks. I'm gonna go with the Bucks too. 583 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: What are you going? I'm gonna go with the Cowboys 584 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: school because all this thing, all the stuff you're talking 585 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: about Tom Brady, like our our number five storyline. Is 586 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: the distraction too much for Brady? Or is it so 587 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: much that it causes him to focus even more on football? 588 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,719 Speaker 1: I think it's I think this Bucks offensive line has 589 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: some real week points and Micah Parsons is gonna look 590 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: like a star Edgdresher this weekend. Yeah, or this is 591 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: Sunday night football, Sunday football. Baby, you can't can't go 592 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: against Brady until you're proven. I think a lot of 593 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: I was reading that a lot of pieces brought from 594 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: Brady's offensive line are also gone too. Yeah, they had 595 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: three Pro Bowlers last season and now they're all even 596 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: from Cowboys. I mean I thought it was from the Bucks. 597 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: From the Bucks too. Yeah, the Cowboys have like three 598 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: future Hall of famers, but one of them is forty 599 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: year old Jason Peters. One of them is Tyrant Smith 600 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,959 Speaker 1: who's out till December, and the other one is right 601 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 1: guard Zack Martin, who I mean, he's a great player, 602 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: but right guard is probably the least important position on 603 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: the offensive line. But yeah, the Bucks have a lot 604 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 1: of offensive line turnover. I don't know. I feel like 605 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: this could be one of those years where the Bucks 606 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 1: start out a little shaky and then get it together, 607 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: kind of like they did in Brady's first season there. 608 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: New head coach. Brady's been gone during training camp, like 609 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: they could start slow. I'm taking the Cowboys. We'll see, 610 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: you know. If Brady doesn't play well, it's gonna be 611 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: he's in for a rough few weeks because all of 612 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: us are gonna be like, huh, what does it mean? 613 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: Should he have stayed retired? Like he's got so many 614 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 1: And that's also a whole whack of pressure that he's got, 615 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: Like if he doesn't win that game or doesn't play 616 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: as the Tom Brady that we all know and love, 617 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: he's gonna have so many questions on Monday. Plus like 618 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: is Chris Godwin ready? They don't know if he's ready 619 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: to go really coming off that torn acl Julio Jones, 620 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 1: is he healthy? Like? Give me the Cowboys. Okay, Final 621 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: game Game six, Broncos at Seahawks. I love this game. 622 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: It is one of my favorites. I gotta go Broncos. Okay, 623 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: I have high I have high hopes for Jerry Judy 624 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: this season. Apparently he's been attending all of the team 625 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: quarterback meetings, which I thought was kind of interesting. I 626 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: want to see this guy go off. I want to 627 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 1: see Russell Wilson go off. The Seahawks they have Geno Smith. Um, 628 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: I have nothing that good to say, but six, I'm 629 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 1: going Broncos. What do you guys go? I think the 630 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: Bronco's gonna win, but I think it's gonna be a 631 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 1: lot closer. It's gonna be Yeah, I think Pete Carroll 632 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 1: is gonna make it interesting, a little interesting down the stretch. Okay, 633 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: this is crazy to me that the Broncos are on 634 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: the road and are favored by six and a half points, Like, 635 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 1: how often do you see a home team as a 636 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: six and a half point underdog. I do think it'll 637 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 1: be closer than six and a half points. Team that's 638 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: in Seattle, by the way, which is like run of 639 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: the craziest home field advantages. That place is so loud. 640 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they're they're either number one or number 641 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: two in like the decibel levels that demin Arrowhead Studium exactly. 642 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 1: Russa's first game backst team back is what I think 643 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 1: is is cooking this number up so much because they 644 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: want people. They're the dramatics, it's the flare. I don't know. 645 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: I think the Broncos will definitely win, but maybe my 646 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: like a field goal, not by a lot, not by 647 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: this Like the Seahawks are a team that's gonna slow 648 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: down the game with a lot of like they're gonna 649 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: run the ball, they're gonna play Pete Carroll defense. They're 650 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: gonna make this game fewer possessions, So the Broncos just 651 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 1: aren't gonna have as many chances to drive up the school. 652 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: This might be their super Bowl for the oh this game, yeah, 653 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: like the Seahawks super Bowl. Yeah, if they win this game, 654 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: they lose out. It's really not that same as what 655 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: we were just talking about with Josh McDaniels. Like Carroll's 656 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 1: like in his seventies, Like why come back unless you 657 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: actually feel obviously he's in great shape and it's Pete Carroll, 658 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: but why why are you still in this? Have you 659 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: just lost your star quarterback? Like there's still something for 660 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: you to prove, you know what I mean, and definitely 661 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 1: something to prove now he wants to say I was right, 662 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 1: Russ was wrong exactly. Yeah, it's like a Bill Tom 663 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 1: kind of situation. So many great storylines for a week one. Okay, 664 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 1: So those are the games that we are most excited about. 665 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 1: Let us know which ones that you're pumped. What did 666 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 1: we get right? What did we get wrong? Tell us 667 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: we'll ignore you. It'll be so fun.

Time to talk about the 676 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I think we're gonna keep this in. 677 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 1: I just smoke an entire pack of cigarettes on that break. 678 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 1: Its I have to talk about the best and the 679 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 1: worst things that we heard all week long, and there 680 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 1: are some juicy, juicy things in here. Okay, let's start 681 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 1: with the best. Let's start with some really just great 682 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 1: a drama between Baker and the Browns. First we start 683 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: with Nick Chubb. He was asked about, um, what he 684 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,880 Speaker 1: expects from Baker in week one, and this is what 685 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:36,280 Speaker 1: he said, So, I don't know what day. Okay, guys, 686 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 1: say what you're saying. Baker responded with this, you know, 687 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,439 Speaker 1: a big hug from Nicholas Chubb would be a really 688 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: really good gift. You know, just to hear him say 689 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 1: a word would also be nice. II. Yeah, he's the 690 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 1: he's the quiet, silent type okay is the thing that 691 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 1: he does. I love this. You guys think it's a 692 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 1: little bit there's a little bit like a facetiousness going 693 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 1: like I don't know if this is is real, you 694 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like, I don't know if Nick 695 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 1: meant that as like as big of a snub as 696 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 1: he just seems like such a decent guy guy doesn't 697 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,840 Speaker 1: want to cause drama. I think what he was alluding 698 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 1: to was just like it's Baker, like who knows what's 699 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: gonna happen? Yeah, I wasn't thinking that he was saying 700 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 1: like who knows where he's gonna throw because he's so 701 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: like not accurate or you know what I mean, nothing, 702 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,759 Speaker 1: We're making something out of nothing. And then going back 703 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,479 Speaker 1: to Baker. I think that that's a funny joke about 704 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 1: Nick because he doesn't Baker's feels more lighthearted. But Nick's also, 705 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,279 Speaker 1: I think was just taken as not lighthearted when it 706 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: was meant to be. I know, this is very unlike 707 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:40,879 Speaker 1: me because I'm gonna like make I'm the one that's 708 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,279 Speaker 1: blowing these things out of the out of proportion. I do. 709 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 1: I do love the back and forth, but I think 710 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 1: it's more playful like, there's no reason for Baker and 711 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,920 Speaker 1: Nick to not like each other. Yeah, and there's no 712 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,360 Speaker 1: reason for Baker and you know, I mean, no one 713 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:56,239 Speaker 1: the players. It's none of anybody's fault, right. I like 714 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 1: that he call him Nicholas to la. That's another thing, 715 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 1: Like if he was being serious, I think he would 716 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 1: have just like not even said his name, but he 717 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,840 Speaker 1: called him Nicholas. I love it. I love it. It 718 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,640 Speaker 1: kind of makes me a little bit happy to see 719 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 1: that these guys are still getting along. But sad um, okay, 720 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,439 Speaker 1: and then the worst thing. Let's just make this quick, 721 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 1: but Baker's March is terrible. Mohum, loves it? Did you? Yeah? 722 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,920 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna buy it, but you already did, didn't you? 723 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 1: You swipe that credit card? No, I just don't think 724 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 1: Off the Leash is a horrible thing. But it's like 725 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 1: one night only, like it's just so yeah shoogee. The 726 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,359 Speaker 1: graphic element of it is is too much. And also 727 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:41,440 Speaker 1: Off the Leash is way too like dog Pound just 728 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,239 Speaker 1: so on the nose. Yeah, it is so on the nose. 729 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 1: Would I wear it ironically next week if somebody sent 730 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 1: one to me? Yes, actually order those right now? We're 731 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 1: all wearing. Yes, okay. If Baker wins, I am ordering 732 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 1: those asap. Okay, okay, and we all got to wear them. Yeah, okay, 733 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,479 Speaker 1: we'll put it on the production budget. There you go.
