guys i got 45 minutes here yeah yeah i mean what are we doing here all right we are i was sorry i just wanted to update those lines um i'll bring them up if you need them bringing jake when you need them all right let's all right let's hit it okay what's up everybody and welcome back there you go there you go i got that that you got to do that every week all right what's up everybody and welcome back to the anything better podcast show i truly can't believe i'm saying this i I truly can't believe I'm saying for week 18. I swear to God, I don't know if it's our busy schedules, whatever holiday. Dude, I feel like we started this three weeks ago and the regular season is over this week.

Paul, just imagine if baseball, you played 18, the Yankees had 18 games. I know. Or 17 games. They had one week off and they did it in 18 weeks. Yeah, dude, it's like, that's why if you go like 0 and 4, they're like, All right. Let's get ready for next season. It's like, I mean, yeah, no, it's over, it's over quick.

It's, speaking of which, Paul, can we talk college football playoffs a little bit? Oh, dude, I didn't, I fell asleep. I didn't realize Ole Miss won last night. Ole Miss one, Alabama, lost. Got smoked. Got smoked to Indiana. Ohio State. Lost to Miami.

Out. Our buddy Willis Whalen, I got a great one for you. I'm performing in Washington, D.C., January 8th, right, at the D.C. improv. It's a Thursday night. I'm just going in there for a one-nighter. Willis Whalen, our dear friend, goes, Paul, I'm bringing a few guys. I can't wait to see you. We'll go out.

I said, absolutely. All of a sudden, he texts me today. He goes, Paul, the Miami Hurricanes play on the 8th. And he gives an emoji of scratching his head. And I go, buddy, you don't have to come to my show. I go, I know how perplexed. I go, I don't want you at my. show you got to go and he goes he goes i told my wife last night if anybody would understand it would

be you i go i don't i go 1 000 percent go watch the game i appreciate it you could see me any time but willis whalen and his family and here's the best part if they win he's taking his son to the national championship where's that this year uh it might be do you know uh if you told me a month ago, not a month ago, a little six weeks ago. I mean, I was thinking Ohio State's going to win the fucking Big Ten championship

and make a serious run at the BCS, whatever the hell they call it now. The fact that they lost back-to-back games, wild. Like I thought, you know, when they lost to Indiana, I was like, oh, man, they're going to put a hurting on,

like if I was betting, unless the spread was crazy, I would have taken Ohio State whatever they were laying like i'm like they're gonna go in make a statement kick the shit out of the hurricanes unreal dude un fucking real i Alabama's not that big a deal to me because no because you know sabin's not there anymore but what indiana's doing is unreal well i'm gonna win a fucking national i think that would be their first one ever dude like yeah they're like a football they even said they go like we're now a football program too i mean

Listen, you got to give it a couple years to do that, but what a weird year. I'm going to say this. This is the weirdest football year of watching football ever. What happened out in Michigan, all of those players are going to leave. So they're done. They got to regroup yet again. And so, you know, it used to be Ohio State, Michigan, you know, during the good old days. And there was like 20 years of Michigan sucking.

Then they're back. And now this bullshit happens. So now it looks like it's going to be Ohio State and Indiana for a while. Um, yeah, I just feel like this has been the weirdest year of football, both pro and college. And, uh, listen, hey, my, uh, my results reflected that, but not you, Bill, not you because Bill, Eddie, dude, when some, Billy wins some, lose some. Well, listen, if you go, if you go Billy wins, some lose some this week, you beat it by half a game. So listen.

Yeah, but this week, dude, like there's so many people, they're sitting so many people. These spreads are crazy. Well, that's a good set. The Packers Vikings, Packers are getting nine points. So obviously, Jordan loves not playing. No, they're sitting people. And that's a good segue to bring in the snake, because Snake, we need you now.

Or the show needs you more than ever, Jake. Who's playing? Who's not playing? Who's hurt? Who is playing? This is what we need to know from you, Jake. Who is playing meaningful must-win games? That's what we need to know.

All right. Well, we'll start with the must-win games. There's three, and two of them are tomorrow. Saturday as we're reporting this. So Carolina plays Tampa Bay and that will be well if Carolina wins they win the division but now that Atlanta beat the Rams Tampa not only has to win but Atlanta has to lose against New Orleans for them to win the division now. So that's what that's sake there. Then the Saturday night game is San Francisco Seattle and the winner of that will not only win the NFC West but they will get the one seed in the NFC so that's a really big

game and then the last big game is the last game of the season Baltimore and Pittsburgh and that will be for the final playoff spot in the AFC because the winner will win the AFC north and the loser goes on. So those are the three like big meaningful games and then we can quickly go through like who's kind of like resting players who's out stuff like that. So the teams that are resting players are the Chargers, Packers and Eagles from what I see. And Bill's right? Bill's. No, they just announced that Josh Allen's going to play. So it appears that they're not resting players for whatever the reason. Has that affected the line because I got Bill's minus seven?

Maybe not. Yeah, they're playing. Oh, my God, they're playing the Jets. So they play the Dolphins. Yeah, they're playing the Jets. That's crazy. They want the number one pick. It's minus eight now.

So Jets are getting eight right now. So that'll probably keep going up after we finish reporting even. but yeah so that makes sense and then lamar jackson will return for this raven steelers game he's been out and then we're hopefully getting tj walk back as well that's the other injury that we're concerned with and then for the nineers game george kittle missed last week with an ankle injury so they're hoping to get him back but they haven't announced if he's playing or not yet and then they're also they also lost their best offensive lineman trent williams to hamstring injury so they're trying to figure out if he's playing or not dude that's been their whole year

They've been trying to get healthy. They're holding here. Yeah. And Tampa Bay is getting a pretty big name back. Speaking of offensive line, they have this left tackle, Tristan Wirfs, who's a really incredible player for them.

So he's back as well. So those are kind of like the major injuries that have popped up. And, yeah, there are some teams resting people and off. But, yeah, there's pretty much three meaningful games that I thought I'd have put two of them on Saturday to make a few extra bucks. But, I mean, we're going to have a pretty unbelievable playoff. If you look at, I'm sure what the odds are for Super Bowl winner, it's probably the most wide open.

It's been in years. There's no, there's no undisputed, like, perennial favorite this year is, like, how I would describe it. Jake, why are the Texans minus 10 and a half against the cults who are out of it? I think, well, yeah, the Colts are out of it. I think the Texans could technically still win the division if Jacksonville loss. Is my view what's going on there? I kind of...

You thought it should be higher, Paul? No, I mean, I guess with Philip Rivers, I don't know. I just don't understand why the Texans line. I didn't know if they were going to rest C.J. Stroud. I don't know if they were going to rest anybody. So I didn't know why the line was like that. But if they need the Jaguars to lose, so they still have something to gain, I get it. I didn't know that.

I feel like one of these games feels like a season to Philip Rivers. and this is like the third fucking game and there's no zip on his ball and like when he threw that pick six and he ran two steps and it's like I was just like all right once the full turn 11th

10 and a half doesn't sound big to me Paul if they if they play the problem though is I feel like they might be covered in the first half and then sit CJ and then they come back with some bullshit in the end this fucking week sucks Paul I need to get two wins so I can finally beat the book

this is uh well i'm i'm gonna go first well yes you go first because even though it's an even week i did my picks without you you were very gracious last week so you the floor is yours buddy hey paul it's that's a new side of me that's great listen it's it's it's it's who am i you're you're paul verzi i'm easy yeah you're easy um 49ers spread is three now where's yeah i think so all right i'll take the 49ers at home that's i like that i like them I just like them to beat C. I think they win that game and they win fucking cunts. Oh, they're getting three.

No, it's two and a half now. It's two and a half. Sorry. Let me double check. I just think the 49ers are going to win that game. Two and a half. I do too. They look great against the Bears last week,

probably at five touchdowns. All right, don't jinx me, Chek. Come to send me, look great. Jake, you're looking like you're looking like you. got back from New Year's Eve, and I'm not asking any questions, brother. I know how you roll. A couple balls dropped. Anyway, sorry.

Jake's fuck, New Year's Rockin' Eve. I don't know, dude. You know what? I think the Saints are so bad. And I think the Saints are going to go for the pick and I think that the Falcons are playing spoiler right they're playing spoiler I hate the half a point if it was fucking if it was three I'd put my Lexus on it the three and a half I don't love you know what I'm gonna say Paul that sounds like a branding deal I don't know I

don't know where the Lexus somehow worked into that that was amazing the fact that I'm not fucking making money with Lexus those they don't even understand how I talk about them I'm gonna take I'm going to take the Falcons. I'm going to take the Falcons given three and a half. You know, I'm a nice guy. All she does is date assholes. I've been with these tricks. She was with me.

I would treat it like a queen. I'm going to take the Falcons. Paul, you've got to stop. You're in love with this stripper. Fuck, Lexus. Paul, you're too good for Lexus. They need me. Paul, you're Sicilian.

You guys been around forever. How long has Lexus been around? when i was a kid there weren't lexas there was no lexas there was sicilians lexas should give me their first electric truck and let me do the talking for it over paul i think lexas is is lucky you haven't paid them a visit i have a little sit down paul you said you fixed your camera i did now it's back you were going a little blurry now it's back okay all right i like you i don't know about the listeners i like in focus paul all right i'm

Is it my turn? Your turn. All right, my turn. I'm running my yap here. As always, I apologize. I apologize to one and all, especially during this holiday season. Oh, God. Am I really going to take the Texans?

Did you take the Texans? I took the Falcons. He took the Falcons. All right. Oh, Billy's fucking losing it over here. I don't like that Broncos charges game. I don't like a lot of shit here. Let's see here.

Dolphins getting 10 and a half. Always play the Patriots tough. 11 and a half now. It's 11 and a half now. Stefan Diggs doing what Stefan Diggs does. But, you know, that's it, dude. You know, when somebody shows up with a waist-length fur with the mitten thing in there, too,

and a fucking diamond watch looking like Zaja Gabor, you know an off-field incident is coming. I'm going to take the Pittsburgh Steelers, getting three and a half at home. I fucking... I like fucking Aaron Rogers, and I think Aaron Rogers in games like this

and this time of the year that's the kind of guy I won under center I've been riding with this guy here for the last six weeks he's been treat me right that's the fucking I love that pick

and it was a pick that I was going to take but I'm glad you took it because you know what I'm about the show I'm not about me we got friends that are about them don't we bill

we know them we know them not friends anymore Paul not friends anymore we got friends that are about them not me Paul Paul we have acquaintances no we did have acquaintances Yeah. Like you said, I'm Sistillian.

Hey, Paul, yeah, you didn't know. That's why you had it ready. You didn't. God. Paul, you're shooting from the hip here. You're fucking, you play. You don't give a fuck. You're a spoiler.

Why are the, yeah, I'm confused about these lines here. Is Joe Burrow playing? Yeah. Yeah. The Rams are also Oh, you've been riding the Bengals Last couple of weeks The Bengals, as you call them

Like the Girl Group That was a great call They blew out the Cardinals the other week This is one of those weeks Where I just want to have a respectable week But be out of the way You know what I mean? I need to be out of the way here

What do you mean? My time at the party is over So it's like I just want to fuck it You know, I want to look Whatever fucking games you get I've been betting like the fucking Saints First the goddamn Panthers I haven't been in your lane all year

dude swing away and you picked four games last week none of that none of that was in my way three were thinking differently this year by the way just for the record i'm not a lame duck coach i went three and one last week okay i'm not fucking laying down oh you don't want to put your house on the market we've seen this before listen my hey bill bill my kids love the schools you're like the dolphins coach he's going to save his job he's going to fucking pull it out how great is laying kiffin's going to be in the next round of the or sorry not laying kiffin Ole Miss is going to be in the next round without Lane Kiffin. I think that's a great story.

Do you think he's not taking credit for that? Oh, you know he is. He might feel. Even this substitute teacher can get him a fucking playoff win. Where did he go? I'll take, you know what? LSU, but there. No, he didn't.

Link if went to LSU, but, um, yeah. Oh, my God, dude. Just shit in where he eats. That guy, he's hoared all around fucking the SEC. Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi. Mississippi, LSU. He's running out of fucking teams down there. Exactly.

I didn't mean a step on your pickball. Go ahead. All right, LSU fans. Enjoy it, but don't fall in love. Okay. Do the Giants, the Giants are playing the rival Cowboys. Both teams are out of it. The Giants have the second overall pick right now.

And I hate, you know, the Giants organization is not for tanking, but I don't know what that means. I'm going to take. I'm going to take the Jacksonville Jaguars minus 13. Big number. I'll say anything about you. You are a loyal guy. 13.5.

Look, the Titans are the worst team in the league or second worst team in a league. And if the Jaguars win, they lock the division, right? Uh-huh. Yeah, they would. I'll take that. All right, dolphins always play as tough. It's 11 and a half. We've got off-field distractions.

I hate this fucking game. And you already clinched the division. You're only going after the one seat. Yeah, but I think, you know, it's the Patriot way, at least during the Belichick thing. And I think they're going to keep this is that you don't fucking take games off. No, yeah. You don't take your foot.

Remember that time the fucking Colts did that? Not going into the playoffs either. I can't do that shit going into the playoffs. I think the Pats are going to play it hard. Remember when the Colts did that? They sat back in Peyton Manning and then they fucking lost the first round. I remember that. Peyton Manning do.

They bench them against the Jets. I love the Patriots too much and I want to enjoy the game. So I'm going to fucking stay away from that. Fucking Eagles is four. Is that still four? Sorry, everybody. With all the new information, these lines. No, everything's changing.

Yeah, the Eagles are benching players. so it's like it kind of shows you how little the lines or little Vegas respects Washington that the lines that low well they don't have a quarterback legals aren't what are they got like mariotta marcus marriota all right now he's fucking stammering and stuttering here i don't know what to do on my next pick i think i'm just oh you fucking asshole am i going to do this am i going to take the texans minus ten and a half because i think philip rivers he's done he's not even buying

he isn't he retired yeah he retired they're gonna play this guy Riley Leonard and I haven't heard of but they're playing them oh dude I'm swinging in the dark over here it's an ugly fuck and you know they're going into playoffs they just want to win the fucking game it's 11 and a half there's another injury to Miles Garrett's going for the you know I'm gonna take the Buccaneers I'm gonna take the Buccaneers I think what's his face Baker May 4 field is a fucking winner they need to win this game i i just i'm gonna go with him what a crazy story that is they started six and two they've lost seven of their last eight and now they can

but they still have a chance to make the playoffs while you ever say that in a bar what a crazy story there's and then some random guy yeah you want a crazy i'll tell you fucking crazy he dumps his life on you yeah it's like yeah this kind of wasn't an open call here buddy I'll give you crazy you fucking son of a bitch the bears are minus three at home are the bears playing for anything Jake um

you know they aren't but they're still playing their starters so hey Paul is it me or is this like a fucking terrible week it's a rough one it's a rough one everybody's in flux um are they tanking

Are they sitting? Are they playing? Do they need to win it? It's a shit show. I'm going to take the Buffalo Bills minus seven against the Jets. The Jets stink and they need to pick. And they're not going to play tough. And it's in Buffalo. And Josh Allen's playing. And I think the Jets are so bad. And the Jets will pick the wrong person with that first pick. There you go. I'm going to just, yeah, I just, I feel like even if the Jets are trying and the I'm taking Buffalo. Paul, it's minus eight now.

It's all right. What do I got to lose? You got nothing to lose, Paul. I, on the other hand, I on the other hand, I'm hanging in there by half a game. Bill, what was your last pick? Don't tell me. I got to work on my short-term memory.

I took the Buccaneers. Buckees. You just make sure. Yeah. Bill's got the Niners, the Bucks, and the Steelers but all great games and all great games that matter Paul

yep you got all three fuck it dolphins 11 and a half I don't give a shit it's gonna be one of those stupid weird ass fucking games all right

okay listen I think that cocaine cowboy wants to keep fucking riding that horse down there so he's probably going to do a couple of flea flickers Paul next thing you know that 11 and a half becomes like a big hill to climb we have off-field distractions

I think that they're going to kick the shit out of them and then once they do that I think Drake May comes out of the game wait a minute who the dolphins have a quarterback this guy Quinn yours two is done for the year ah fuck that pick god damn it

I thought Bill was gonna I thought you were going to take the pats on that too well now i might that they have this complete nobody how's he been doing is it okay i mean he beat tambay last week um so not terrible do the patriots come out can you win at campabay they they fucking started scientology down there yeah so do the pats come out to try and you know i i they got hand-rolled cigars in ebor city there's too much fun to be had down there people water skiing start religions rolling cigars. Of course they're going to fucking lose to the Dolphins.

Miami has top tier Blue Chip Pussy. They can't lose that fucking game. Go back to Joe Robbie. Who the fuck was Joe Robbie? He was a big name in the end. And I think the AFL. I can't remember. All right. All right. Here we go. I got nothing, dude. All of these games. Am I going to take the Texans against this fucking no-name guy?

you keep bringing them up oh you know what you keep talking about it why don't you be about it fuck it i'll take the texans 10 and a half or 11 and a half 10 10 and a half 10 and a half oh i'll still take them i'll still take it i like it yeah i like it dude it's gonna be me it's gonna be me on sunday here comes the river you know when they walk away they push all the chips in listen I'm rooting as hard for you as ever because, you know, the show will beat the book again. And you know what? I love your picks.

Well, these other guys are in, too. Andrew's in. I was going to ask, Andrew. How does it be in the book? Paul, make your last pick and I'll pull up the records here. And I'll show the tale of the tape, Paul. I went one and three, though, so I don't know. I fell off with it.

You know what? You go four and no, Jake. That's right. Like you do every weekend If you go out The way you do with the ladies Just like a fucking goddamn right I'm going to take

You know what I'm going to take a team That I've been going with all year I've been running with them all year They've gotten me wins all year I'm going to take the Bears Minus 3 They're at home The lions are eliminated

You know I just think it was a great year For the Bears And I don't think they want to go into the playoffs with a loss to a rival. So I'm going to take the Bears minus three, get me a win. And I'll be honest. If I go back-to-back weeks with the winning record,

I'll be happy to get out of the season like that. Well, I've got to be honest with you. Now that you brought that game up, I should have taken the Lions instead of the Texans. Oh, you can. You can. Because you know what it is about the fucking bears? There's still the goddamn bears.

Dude, you can. We could go head to head on that. I don't want to do that. because I want the bears to win. They're great story. I like their fans. And now those fucking assholes are moving the stadium to Indiana. After they fucked up Soldier Field.

Yeah. Put that female condom on top of it. Whatever that fucking that vaj-looking spaceship that they stuck on that thing. It's unbelievable. The fucking shit you get as a comedian, and they can do that to a fucking war memorial goddamn stadium for veterans. Good point. You can turn it into like a frozen yogurt looking shop.

Nobody says the goddamn word. And now, now they're going to fucking Indiana. Why? Yeah. Who's sucking your dick over there? It makes no sense. You guys can see this, right? The chart.

Well, fucking Indiana should have to pay for it. Who's paying for it? Who's paying for that stadium? Probably the city. That's a sad part. How the fuck is Chicago paying for something that's in Indiana. Yeah, I couldn't agree more.

Come on, Jake, you're in the mix. Who's sucking who's dick out there? We can't see it, Andrew. Yeah, sorry. I don't know why the streamer is not allowing me to share it. I'm going to... I'll tell you why, because they're worried. We're getting close.

We're getting close to the truth on this new Chicago. They don't want us to see. Jake, what do you do? Do you follow the money or the pussy? What is your story? Always follow the money. oh there it is sorry about that guys

I don't know why if I see one more city get held hostage by a billionaire goddamn owner to get a new fucking playground for his fucking team did you hear what the I heard a couple

guys shout out to a couple of the local economists in KC for doing some good some good info but I heard somebody break it down and listen like you can look at this a million ways

the only reason the owner of the chiefs hunt there The only reason that he pursued this deal was just out of his ego. They were like, it's just to show to other owners, like, look what I got out of a city. Because they're like, there's literally no other reason as far as like the amount of money that he could have made, the way he could have structured it, the way he could have written certain things off. They were like, there's a lot of reasons that's weird. And shout out to Bob Kraft, potentially building.

I'm back east. I'm watching a lot of local news. Yeah. But they want to build an industrial area on the water. soccer stadium uh indoor soccer stadium and uh they're not going to take any city money so shout out to them that's the second time he's done that he's a great owner and what do we get what do we what thanks do we get Andrew what thanks do we get huh how much you know nothing yeah they got the local schedule they fucking uh put something in the other team's toothpaste before the game

it's just it's all fucking ridiculous all right there's my record So Bill and I are tied at 32, 34, and 2. Jake, I know you're close with the Jackson family, so you go to Indiana a lot. Andrew. You can hear anything when you were back. Andrew, how am I 22 and 40 when I was 18 games back, one, three, and one? Here we go. Let's just take a look here.

25, 41, and 2. But my, I went three and one, week 17? I really did? I don't remember that. Oh, okay. Well, there you go. I can actually go above 500. No, I went one in three. Oh, you go one and three. Yeah, I was like, that doesn't seem right.

I'd love to take credit, but I went one and three, but I went three and oh and one the week before. God help us if that MGM ever audits this fucking wins and losses. I apologize. That's my fault. That's all good. So, yeah, I'm curious. So I was exactly 500. And then, okay, so I'll be, I'm still on the hunt for being the book. so that's all that's that's nice to see check you're right there and i'm right there you and i i'm right in shock you know i you and i must beat the book um all right so there you go so there's there's our picks paul can you another season just like that there we go updated sorry about

that just like that paul okay there's my there's my record that makes more simple well look here's the deal here's the deal we're the show we're going to do it Bill's going 4-0. Andrew's going 4-0. Yep. I get out of here, two and two, three-and-one,

and you know what? I lick my wounds. I'll be back. You've still got the playoffs, Paul. Paul, you're the only guy beating yourself up. You've gone four-and-one the last five years.

It's fine. Even Alabama fell, you know. Oh, I'm glad those fucking khaki pants wearing assholes. Ever since I almost got into a fight with that ticket in loafers on a bus, I was rooting for them. I even bet them.

and then they acted like assholes. Fuck you and your bloopers. Isn't it funny like how some of those college fans dressed and you just like, like, TCU. I saw them at the Rose Bowl and all of the fucking guys were dressed like J.R. Ewing.

They had sport coats and cowboy hats on. I'm like, oh my God. Go, go frogs. You guys dress like that? You know, there's another great story going around too. It was like they were like fucking guest starring

on Matt Houston. Sorry. It's at least a 40-year-old reference. So Indiana, one of the losingest programs ever now is in pretty far in the college football playoff. And you look at the Detroit Pista's, the NBA. Two years ago, they lost 28 straight games. And here they are now first place in the east.

So Pauley, they play your Knicks on Monday. How are you feeling? Do you see them as a real threat in the playoffs? No, no, just because of our experience, man, our experience. and I think OGN and Obie is the whole difference, dude. I think that guy, that was, you know, I know, I know Nick fans didn't want to see RJ Barrett and Emmanuel quickly go. I was kind of one of them to be like, wait, but, dude, if you look at the numbers of

the Knicks when OGN and Obie plays, I mean, of course, Jalen Brunce is Jalen Brunce. I'm not, that goes without saying. Dude, the Knicks percentage of winning when OGN and Obie starts is, it's like, yeah, dude, I think we're the third best team in a league and, but I want to, I think they got to win now because the spurs, dude, the spurs are coming, dude. The spurs are coming, so the spurs are about to go on a fucking other run, so we got to get them now.

Yeah, and Nick's... I'm not worried about Detroit. Detroit's got to prove that they could win a seven games against they can't. You guys took them out last year. That was a unbelievable series. It probably should have went seven, but I mean, it didn't... I mean, I don't want to hear about the fucking New York Knicks until they win a fucking championship.

I am so sick of hearing about this stupid-ass fucking team. It hasn't won in 52 fucking years. It's tough to be. the last, right now. Well, they were still killing people. The 1973 that knew too much about that lunar landing. That's the last time you fucking won. I can't argue that.

I always say Jet fans, Metfan, and Nick fans, you just got to win one until you talk. I really do believe that. Well, talk to the fucking sports media. They got you guys on there. I mean, like the story of the misery of Jets fans is like taking more precedent than fucking teams that win. It's ridiculous.

You guys stink You've stunk forever You haven't won shit And when you had a chance to win You fucking choked I don't want to hear it again this year I don't want to Oh don't do it

You play for the Knit I don't nobody does That's choosing the Brooklyn Nets Over you guys You know You think Janus goes to the next You think Janus goes to the next Next year not this year

No I know not this year But you think he's gonna at all ever You know I don't know I don't know. He wants to, but I don't know what it's going to cost to get it done. Did he say that? Yeah. Yeah, he's an expensive player.

Yeah, you can't give up. You can't give up everybody for the guy. Yeah, yeah. By the way, we didn't mention it. I didn't used to do that, Alan Houston fucking contract again. Oh, God. That was fucking brutal. That was brutal.

We didn't mention that the Chiefs might have the eighth overall pick next year. it's not impossible that they could lose that game to the Raiders I mean you know with a third string quarterback in there who knows but I mean the Raiders what's the draft like by the way

Raiders are picking first I'm saying it's not it's not a strong one but I'm sorry you know I usually support you on your it is but like it is a strong one isn't it quarterback wise possibly I mean the Indiana quarterback can go first so I don't know too much after that

oh yeah there's two wide receivers i think that wide receiver coming out of ohio states my son was saying is nuts he is nuts i think he's staying another year though he's only like a freshman or sophomore he's just that unbelievable um jeremiah we got we got one we got one more giants titans cardinals i will say that fucking kid when he won the heisman trophy for indiana like his speech that he gave uh yeah yeah he's like that guy could like like run for office. I mean, I don't know how that

translates to the NFL Grit Iron. How do you think it translates to the Raiders? I apologize. I apologize for my fucking dude. You don't have to apologize.

You don't have to apologize. I, listen. What are your bum-ass fan still owes to be $500 from fucking last year? Who? One of those, you know,

one of those fucking guys always running his yap, running his yap till about mid-May, and then all of a sudden he stops answering his phone. He owes to be $500 bucks. That's the worst.

Dude, they beat the Celtics without fucking Tatum. And he's a little shabbing him. I go, you're going to lose to the paces. You know this. He does no or not. I go, I'll bet you're 500 bucks. Easiest money you fucking ever get. That's great.

That's great when somebody says, no. I didn't hear after game two. I still haven't heard from him. Didn't say anything about happy holidays. Well, the heartache was game one. Once game one happened, I said, that's coming back to haunt us. That was fucking the most pain I felt. Um

He shook off game one And then he yapped through game two And I haven't heard from him since Um All right Fan baseball Well Hey don't put me in that

Comes time to pay And then you guys fucking disappear I pay my debts Yeah Or is he crazy bets Don't put me in that under that umbrella You know Now you know why there's so many subway stops in New York

So you guys can all go underground When you're fucking Close somebody some money that's like last we saw him he was entering this subway dude that's like that's like end of friendship to me like you owe me 500 bucks and don't pay like how does how do you just let that go dude it's not even about the money i expected it oh whenever i see that blue and orange i expect that behavior all right that's it enough all right here where are we going here well you know you know what I really feel.

I know what I really feel. I know. I want you guys to win because I want to be there. I want to see you cry. You're going to cry. Well, dude. It's going to be great and I'm also going to be laughing my ass off. But you are going to, you are going to cry.

I don't know. My son is going to try. When his team lost in the World Cup, you're going to. No, what's the spread look like? If they're in the championship, it's like game seven, what's the food spread look like? No, here. No, it's not that. It's, it's me and my son.

My son cares more than me. will cry my son hugged my wife you know it's funny when we beat the celtics my son hugged my wife and all of a sudden he just stayed there and all of a sudden i was like what the fuck and like 15 seconds went by and i realized he was literally crying and i was like oh man he cares way more than i do but this is what my fear is you ever feel guilty that you dragged him into that world no no because of the i think because of the the feeling he'll get if we do win and i think but Here's the, here's what I'm afraid of. You gotta get it on this one, Paul, because when, historically, that's what I mean.

Like, you guys, you guys go underwater for like decades and then you come back. So I love that 99 team. I actually like the Knicks. I'm just being a, this is, this is natural to me. This is actually the most talented Knicks team that they've ever had. And here's the problem. That happens when the Oklahoma City Thunder are one of the greatest teams ever assembled. Like the Knicks have this team and my fear is going to the,

finals against the thunder who are a fucking juggernaut and fucking having that heartbreak but you know what i'll take them getting there what's you like being a nix fan your team's been around for this fucking long you got to wait and like all these expansion teams that are named after weather they're like weather forecast like the heat the thunder yeah fucking microbursts all these people are out there winning these fucking shit's annoying it is i i that happened to me in hockey when the bruin's were in their fucking drought. And I'm watching the ducks and the hurricanes and the Tampa Bay light lightning.

There's another fucking one of these weather teams. Hockey teams in tropical weather. And the lightning are great. The Carolina cold fronts. Even if the thunder don't get there, you still, you know, you got to play Yolkich. You got to play Houston as Durant. Anthony Edwards, my third player on Minnesota.

The NBA is filthy. How about the fact that the Dallas Maverick gave up that fucking guy to the Lakers for nothing, and then they win the draft lottery. Filthy. Filthy. I thought it was fair trade. Jesus Christ.

We have one more, we have one more, Sunday night special, guys. There is no money on my game, boys. I hate that. What is it? It's a late game Sunday. We can make one for Baltimore,

Pittsburgh on Sunday night football. Well, that's the last one we got for our fans. Last regular season game. of the year. Let the Sunday night's special win some money for you. It's the day of the Lord. I love the stealer pick. I love the Steelers getting three and a half or getting two. Whatever, the Steelers getting points I love. So I think we definitely take the Steelers with the points. I love Aaron Rogers to throw one. I love Aaron Rogers to throw one too. My vote would be to have Derek Henry Run run. He had four touchdowns last week. He's rolling right now.

that would be my suggestion okay i would do that too this is our classic thing paul we pick a team and then we bet for offensive bet on offensive players on the outside well every week and we're like we haven't in a special since the first two weeks of the fucking we basically bet that everybody's gonna fucking do great everybody that's every name every top every top name of the team still my favorite my favorite wager this this year was a plus 50 field goal. That was fun. Is it me or did they shut that down?

Did they shut that down and bring out the old balls? All of a sudden, too many people were saying shit. That was great. It felt that way. But that was a really fun pick. I liked our Phillip Rivers one team, even though it didn't hit. I just like Philip Rivers. So I like that he got some love.

But I think that the Ravens are going to score, and it probably will be Henry. So I like our picks. Henry, I mean, last me. Coming back to the Colts was like when Led Zeppelin got together for like that fucking farm aid shit in the mid-80s and they had like two drummers. Bill Collins

was jet lagged and one guy was playing triplets, the other guy was playing 16th. I mean, if you're ever to get a guy to replace John Bonham, Phil Collins is a pretty good replacement. I would have just gone with him. That's fair. I didn't see the show. I wouldn't get it. They stuck him with somebody else and they were

just like, yeah, right, what's up? And then they just started playing. You don't live eight. Philip Rivers Philip Rivers goes I'm not going to come out of retirement again that was a great three games I'm done

oh yeah good for him can you imagine the noises he was making Christmas morning I bet it took all 10 of his kids to get him downstairs for some egg nuts oh man yeah Andrew they're wheeling them in like Hannibal Lecter

they got him on the dolly eating him more gravy dad you know it's done it was one of the more fun things in this weird year i'll be down in a second was there ever any less pressure on where my pills i'm only going to do it for six weeks i know what i said last time no but i think that's why he did it Andrew it was the least amount of pressure of a comeback it's like him even throwing a touchdown was like a huge deal that was the greatest it was the fact that that guy is in

his mid-40s and has 10 kids and just went out and played professional football. I gave hope to all of us old guys. I loved it. It was one of my favorite stories of the year. I know we're teasing him, but I was definitely on his side. Of course. Yeah, really fun. So what are we

walking in on this? We're walking in. We're going to lock in. Steelers and a half. Steelers is the points. Rogers to throw one and Derek Henry to run one in for the Ravens to hopefully get one more Monday night special.

I mean, we're not taking the money line. We're not taking the spread, are we? We're taking the spread with the Steelers because they're plus three and a half. Yeah, but not the money line. Listen, why don't we switch it up here, Paul? If we're going to say Aaron's going to throw one and Derek Henry's going to run one, like, why are we going to get involved in the fucking spread here? So what do you want to do?

Pick somebody else to do something. Like, uh, like, um. Jalen Warren. There you go. I like, that's a Steelers money. I like that name. I don't know who that is, but I think he could do something. Steelers running back.

All right. I like that. Let's do that, Paul. Okay. I don't know. At the end of the season, maybe Rogers throws, too. We have the stress of the spread. Look, we could do just players.

Yeah, we don't have to worry about the game. We just worry about players. Maybe that's a good one. Maybe that'll be a good way to get, that's a good omen. Maybe that'll be a good way to finish the season. And we should finish the season by thanking all the fans that watched us again this year. Yes. Just four knuckleheads.
