what's up everybody and welcome back to the anything better podcast NFL edition for going into oh my god three more weeks bill it's dude it feels like we started this two weeks ago um with your host me paul verzi bill burr you know we have the snake with the injury reports as always and we got the greek freak the beverly hills kid andrew themless um bill i got to tell you something okay i'm a kid that likes to give flowers when it's time because you know and I like getting my flowers. Well, you're a sensitive guy. You know, for the last four years, you have given me your Paul this and Paul's good at picking.

Bill Burr, you are the hope. You are like the first Star Wars that ever came out, a new hope. You are right there with three weeks left, three in one again. You know, they thought the game. I'm swinging in the dark. I have not watched one second of football in two weeks. I watched the Pat's highlights. I've been super busy.

you know with with the kids and all of that um i've just been uh you know i haven't been paying attention and my wife has got somebody at the door here um so no bill before the season before the season they were going has the game passed them by is he on the hot seat and then you had that bounce back year coached a year um all right well we are in i think we're in what is this uh was this week 16 oh my god week 16 um paul you can't stop it all he can do is enjoy it you know listen it's like your kids this guy once said to me paul time marches on and i was like you know what i think you're on to something there it's like your kids getting old you just you know it happens and you just got to enjoy the moments while they're happening

dude i'm going to tell you man i've been enjoying the moments oh i don't know if i'm ever going to go on the road again oh dude i'm just a home body my I'm freaking Disney dad now. I went to Disney with my kid. I had the best time ever. It's the best time. You ride the ride. Then you're excited.

You get off the ride. Then you're like, where are we going? You got to figure it out. And then you get all this quality time standing in line shooting the breeze. It was amazing. It's the best. And I've been a home body for a long time. But now it's more than ever.

Oh, you've got to drag me out of here. You got to get it's got to pay well. Hey, Paulie didn't like Roe. Gicks. In order to talk to get Pauley to do comedy, you had to talk to three other guys that would go to Pauley. All right, well, we're in week 16.

Before I pick, we have to bring in the snake. You know the drill, guys. We're going to bring in the snake, and the snake is going to tell us what we have to look forward to or I guess not look forward to depending on injuries this week. Jake, what do you got, buddy? Yeah, it's definitely more bad news than good this week.

We all saw Mahomes. He tore his ACL. The Chiefs were eliminated anyway, but you know, you hate to see anybody get hurt. It's overlining. If he's going to do it, it's a year and they're not competitive. He's got a whole year to come back. It happened to Brady. He came back and won three more Super four more Super Bowl. So they'll be okay. But that was brutal to see. Yeah, it was. And that's the conversation. They're saying Mahomes toured the same year in his career as Brady. So it's possible to come back. And then there's a big injury. Hey, Patrick, why don't you try being original? Yeah, exactly. And then, yeah, so similarly, Micah Parsons on the Packers. He tours as a seal as well, which is a really good injury. Non-contact, you kind of just could tell.

And so, you know, Green Bay, you kind of see the injuries starting to creep up with them. They've had a lot this year. So they got a huge game at Chicago Saturday. So we'll see how that goes. And then quarterback-wise, Jane Daniels. is being shut down for the rest of the year, which they probably should have done anyway. And then the dolphins,

dolphins are playing the Bengals. Both teams are linear from the playoffs, but the Bengals are going to play Borough, but the dolphins are not playing two of us. That was something that monitor through that. Well, it kind of looks like Tua might be done in Miami where the coach basically said, like, I think Tua might be done.

Wow. He looks a huge contract would be the only kind of issue there. So they're going to have to figure out if they really want to move on. what is going on down there it was like the coach didn't know what he's doing and then all of a sudden they went a couple of garbage games his florentine was telling me this isn't mine he watches the dolphins every week they didn't beat anybody big they beat some bad teams the frigging jets or whatever and then all of a sudden he's off the hot seat now it's on your quarterback yeah i don't get that well i think they won more than a couple though dude they won like five out of their last six six before they weren't good teams yeah they were playing like the dregs of the league i don't know who who's their biggest win this year against maybe i'm you know what paul kay you know they're wrong every week they beat buffalo so that's oh that's right i picked that game because everyone was saying buffalo i'm like this this is where

vegas cleans up yeah but i get your point overall like if if you're going to pin it on somebody it'd probably be the coach i feel like the coach is more likely to go just based on the salaries but But, yeah, it's a weird situation going on there. And they lost Tyree Hill for the year, too. So just a brutal season. And then I'll hit on two more real quick, and then we can get into the fix. T.J. Watt has a collapsed lung. So they're acting like you might actually play, which is crazy.

But I would imagine that he's not going to. So that's something to monitor. And then the Rams receiver, Devante Adams. I wish you guys watched. hockey. Do you want to see people battling back from injuries? Dude, Charlie McAvoy got his frigging jaw busted. He's not even on solid food and he's back.

That's nuts. The guy's drinking smoothies before a freaking NHL game. That's nuts. And he's back out there for regular season games. I mean, hockey players, it's like it's a badge of honor. Hey. I'm not saying football players, obviously, they're tough as hell. But Jesus. Anyway, we got to give credit to the Steelers, dude.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Aaron Rodd, dude, Mike Tomlin again is going to have another year. I know that they hate him in Pittsburgh and they'd say he can't win the playoff game. But, dude, the guy is just going to get another above 500 season for like 19 years, dude. And Aaron Rogers, you know, he played really good, playing with a broken wrist. So they, and they beat the Ravens. They're tough out, man. You know? I don't disagree with any of that.

All right. He's had these loaded teams, you know. He's had a lot of kind of mediocre quarterbacks. Sam Rogers has been his best quarterback in years, just to add your point. Since, yeah, since Big Ben. Yeah. All right. Well, we're in week 16, which means it's an even week, which means I pick first.

And, you know, I'm just going to do a little concede. Can I just do a little concede speech here? Guys, I have been mathematically eliminated from beating the book this year. Okay. It's been an unbelievable run. I loved doing it for four years. I loved that when I would do road gigs, people would come up to me and go, dude, I follow your picks. You made me money.

I am sorry about this year, but make no mistake, everybody. I'm going to look in the camera when I say this. We're going to regroup. We're going to look at tape. I'm going to see what I did wrong. And I will be back next year. Okay. So all we're going to do right now is we are going to root for the snake.

We are going to root for Burr. We are going to root for the Greek freak. But I'm going to try to make it respectable these last three weeks. Okay. But there you go. I had a good time. And we're going to get back into our winning. ways, all right? Even Tom Brady said it's a weird year. This is a weird year.

Like, that really hasn't been any, like, legit frontrunner until the last couple of weeks where you're starting to look at, like, you know, oh, maybe Seattle, maybe, I don't know, the rant, like trying to think of people out west. Like, even like the lions, the Eagles, nobody stepped up. The Bills, the Bills this week. Like, what they did in the second half coming to get back against the Patriots, exciting for Bills fans. But they were supposed to be doing that all year. Like, where has this been all year? Maybe they saved it, which is not a real thing. Why would you save it?

But, you know, I also think Joe Burrow, man, Joe Burrow coming back. How good do they look? I thought that, like, if he wasn't hurt, they would do something. And I really don't want to be a dick here. I really don't because I want to say I like Travis Kelsey and I'm not really a chiefs hater. But I will tell you this, Travis Kelsey's season this year, Travis Kelsey was a big part of their success.

the way he got open in the middle of the field, the yards after the catch. And this year, dude, he just didn't seem, he didn't see, you know, catching passes that he like kind of, you know, fumbles in the air, interceptions the other way. He looked a little bit out of it. I don't know what he's going to do, but I'm going to be interested to see what the chiefs do next year. But for my first pick, my first pick going into week 16, okay, might as well have a fucking chimpanzee throw darts at a wall with my picks, but I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to. You know, I mean, geez.

That was just a great image. I think chimpanzee was what made it funnier than monkeys. Chimpanzee is funnier than monkeys. It was the word chimpanzee for sure. Okay. You know, I'm going to take the, I'm going to take the Eagles minus six and a half. I think that Washington's shutting down Daniels, Washington, you know, I just, Washington is a bad team.

They're a three-win team or whatever, a four-win team. The Eagles seem like they righted the ship, even though it was against the Raiders. I'm going to take the Eagles to win by a touchdown in Washington. By the way, what is, what's the deal with the Washington commanders slash Redskins, just having their quarterbacks coming back too early and playing through these injuries? It's just like, didn't you learn anything with RG3? Shut the guy down. It's a great point.

Anyway, I'm going to go with the Pittsburgh Steelers, getting seven points in Detroit against the Lions. I like their defense. Aaron's playing great. The Lions, I don't know, they've been sputtering. They haven't, like, found their groove yet. I like seven points. And I think, you know, Aaron's not afraid of them.

He's seen it all at this point. I think seven points is a lot of points to be given to a old gun. slinger like that? I don't like that pick. I love that pick. Jesus, Paul. I was like, come on, man. It's the holidays. Go eat you. I love that pick. I love that car.

Paul, Paul, Paul, Paul, it's in my mother's name. It's in my mother's name. It's in my mother's name. It's in my name. What's the matter with you? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's some matter with you. What's the matter with you? Should I do that? Dude, you know what?

I'm going to shoot from the hip You got nothing to fucking lose man I'm gonna take the Denver Broncos dude Against the Jags I know the Jags are really good But the Broncos the Broncos are at home And the Broncos are really good And are the Broncos still fighting for

A home the whole way Yeah they're currently the 1C Because they're being lost So you know If they went out they will be the 1C I'm gonna take them to win by a field goal in Denver why not all right i will say uh paul if if i beat the book this year i'm gonna buy you a new fucking camera that you don't have to like refocus no i'm gonna have every other

sentence um why am i looking at jets and saints what's wrong with me what is wrong with me that you would eat or you would ever wade into the cesspool of a game that that's going to be raiders texans paul 14 and a half points sneaky peter on the road with 14 and a half point. Texans are a great goddamn team. Raiders stink. 14 and a half, Paul, that half. The Raiders had 75 yards of total offense in the sequels last week. Jake the Snake, last time Seahawks played the Rams, who won? Rams won. All right, I'll take the Seahawks minus one at home. Okay. Well, you know what I'm going to do? This game is a pick-em. I hate to do this to Packers fans.

guys packers are a team i usually it's a team i like but no micha no micha parsons uh i'm gonna take i'm gonna take the bears at a pick them it's a basically a pickum in chicago it's a one point the bears getting one at home the packers don't have their best defensive player and dude the bears just keep proving that they're a good chicago bears are a good football team i'm going to take them at home and a pick them why not and the packers beat him the last time yeah so i don't know i feel like That's what I fucked up last week. My one loss, the bills. I'm like, were we really going to beat these guys twice in one year?

That's why I think of it was. Yeah, that was a, you know what? You know, looking back now that I know the final score, Jake, I'm going to say I shouldn't have done that. Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. This is the Thursday night game I just picked. Yeah, the Rams, yeah.

Yeah, but I say if it's five and a half for more, division rivalry Thursday game. Thursday game I really feel like okay all right fuck it it's a pickum all right I'm really just stammering here am I going to really pick the bills to destroy the Browns do I really want to start a game down by 10 yeah why not I feel like maybe the bills I think it was a big win for them last week maybe they puffed their chest out I don't feel like they have a letdown game against the

Browns I feel like they have a another big win and then they get overconfident and then what ends up happening the lake effect snow lost in the playoffs it's fucking guys man they're a hard team to be a fan of because i i love the coach i love the quarterback like you know the fans have been suffering forever they still got fucked in 99 on that that the fucking guy was in the crease they called it the whole year so your heart goes out for bills fits but anyway i'm i think what i'm trying to say is i'm taking the bills minus 10 going into cleveland They're not afraid to play near a lake.

They live on that lake, Paul. Cleveland's in bad shape, too. That's a great thing. They're going one town over, Paul. Yeah, that's a 35-17. Paul, it's a road trip. It's, it's nothing. Sleeping in your same bed that night.

You kissed your wife goodbye. You go down there, you kick their ass by at least fucking 11, and you come back. Not staying in Cleveland. No. Euclid Ave. So you didn't take, you're not touching the tonight's game, are you? no he took seattle i took seattle you know what you've beaten me you've beaten me on and i think we've done three head-to-heads and i think you're two we're two and one you know what i'm

not i'm not competing against you i'm not keeping score no i know paul and you know what i'm available for a hug whenever you need it i i know there's been a tough for you with the book hey i need it it's gonna be one of those hugs where we're you let go, I still hold on. You know, it's funny is you pulling up outside of a convenience store to a Cadillac Civil, you just give them all the money. And the guy's counting your money, and then I just come in and I just give you the hug. Sorry, Paul.

Is anything funnier than the guy that needs a hug, he holds it too long? So the other guy, when he wants to end it, he just bats the back. Yeah. Universal sign. If you don't pick up social signals, if you're in a hug and somebody goes like this, that means wrap it up. Credits are rolling. It's the end of the movie.

I'll tell you, who never gets that little tap on the back is fucking Jake the snake. The ladies can't keep their arms. That's all they want to do is wrap him around him. Oh, he gets a tap. It's just not on the back. Right, Jake? All right. Jake, I like you growing out the hair.

You really start to look like Mac Davis and North Dallas 40. I like everything about it. Thank you. Yeah, definitely longer. The back is like it's starting to get down here. So we'll see. There you go. I'll go ahead.

Jake, save some for us. That's all I'm saying, you know? I'm going to go head to head. I'll take the Rams getting one tonight. You know what? I'll watch the game, see what happens. Matt, there you go. They're great.

I don't have a problem with that. Jake the Snake, 49ers against the Colts Monday night. How are the 49ers looking health-wise? They got everybody back. They got their quarterback back. Yeah, they got, I mean, their defense had the, you know, has like their main guys out, but they're playing well

and McCaffrey's out there and purdy's out there. Their offense is really healthy. So that's... You know what? I'm going to take Philip Rivers again and cover the spread. I'm not saying he's winning these fucking games,

but like, I don't give a shit. I don't know why. You just want to... You know what? I'm off the road. I'm relaxed. I got a sweater on.

I'm fucking, I'm going with Philip Rivers. I like it. Old guy. I have one more pick, Andrew? uh you had rams bears uh and you took phillop so you have no no yeah you got four you got yeah rams i want to go i want to go i want to talk to some retired field goal kicker and just amp them up be like dude you were kicking during the dead ball era yeah they got these floaties out there man all your experience all those three two one shots that you it's basketball they don't fucking

And clock doesn't count down on a field goal, does it? Whatever. Philip Rivers can come back and play quarterback. That's what breaking. Around the yards. You can't come out there. You can't come out there and kick one of those floaties, 50 yards. Yeah, so I'm in practice.

He hit like 5, 70 yards. 70 yards. Yeah. What are they kicking, Paul? It's a beach ball. The radio-controlled beach ball. It really is ridiculous, man. Like a 70-yarder is in play for the.

the Cowboys. I mean, it didn't help their season, but it's nuts. You know, Paul, everything that's going on in the world right now, the one thing that really is just getting me going is that a 70-yarder is on the board. It's called having your priorities straight. All right, so Bill, the Monday night special tonight

is the Colts and 49ers. Yeah, fuck my bet, dude. Say what? No, let's go. You want a 49ers money line, so he went like fucking $2? No, let's go, let's go Colts. Let's go Rivers to Throw one.

I'll say you have that Rivers to throw one. Rivers to throw one is what we're rooting for. Rivers to throw one. Colts getting the points. And Jonathan Taylor to get a, Jonathan Taylor's to get a touchdown. All right. If I was Philip Rivers agent, I would have called up Grecian formula. And I would have said, we got to do like, we got to do a one-off.

And you should do like he just, you, you just, you. have the commercial, like right after he throws the touchdown. It's Philip Rivers for Grecian formula, and he's taking all the white out of his beard, getting ready for the game. And all the players are coming in talking to him like he's their dad. Oh, dude, how great is the headline? Yeah, can you come out and throw the football around?

Sure, son. He's just doing that. Dude, how great is the name Old Man Rivers? I mean, that's fucking incredible. There's nothing better, dude. There's nothing better than somebody who is. retired and they come back and they actually have a couple of good games i mean come on dude you know what it is paul it gives us all hope and they were right there against yeah yeah he did dude my wife was

watching the highlights and she goes is that philip rivers and she goes oh man and she goes that's awesome and then she just goes he looks kind of heavy and i'm like yeah he's been fucking sitting and she was like that's great how about how great was his line how much do you weigh he goes i don't know more than i did when i stopped oh no but the first time they asked him he goes right now He goes, oh, I have no idea. And they just burst it out laughing. I do feel bad for him because he was in the class of Eli and Rathesberger and both have two. And he didn't get one.

And he had great ears. Dude, he had Ladanian Tomlinson. He had great ears with the Chargers, man. And I wish, I wish he would have got one. Because he does have that nice, fast release. He was a good quarterback, man. He was. So it's luck of the draw.

You got to have the players, the coach, the GM, and the owner's You've got to have all of that. And then you play in the same conference as, you know, Big Ben, Brady and Peyton Manning, Ray Lewis, all those years. Yeah, all the sports writers do is blame the quarterback. Yeah, our front office let him down, big time. You heard it from Jake. Right there, there you go.

You know what? If Philip Rivers here, he would have given me a little tip of the kid. He's probably too class to even, like, throw his own team under the budget. Yeah, he would have, yeah. Yeah, you know. But, yeah. Things that happened. Well, how about.

necessary roughness after you stop the Patriots on fourth down to give us the first down and then you lose the game. I mean, it was just, it wasn't, you know, it's a team sport, but I mean, it wasn't Phil. All right. Let's get back here. Oh, by the way, I'd be remissed if I didn't give a shout out to, and I know it's funny. That NBA Cup, which I was like, whatever, these guys, these guys need motivation, knowing money. And then the Knicks won it.

And me and my son were in front of the TV, just watching confetti. with the Knicks is just, just that. Just watching the New York Knicks get some trophy and just made me and my son be like, we were almost uncomfortable. We didn't even know what to do. We were just like, they won, but they all get, what are they, 500K each? I mean, that's pretty fucking cool, you know? Nice win by the Knicks for sure.

You know, hey, look, we're second in the east. We're going to be, but dude, OKC and the Spurs are coming. So the Knicks got to do something now. And dude, Bill, I will say the basketball. courts that they use during that time that it's a lot it is a lot it looks like you're not in the NBA anymore it looks like you know when like Iverson well like Iverson was you know after his career he's playing in like turkey like that's what it looked like is this European ball like what yeah you didn't have to change it that much but dude the Celtics even without Tatum are hanging on

the Detroit Pistons are number one in the east the Knicks are number two in the east but the Knicks have won 10 of the last 11 and then dude okay see has lost two basketball games. The Oklahoma City Thunder defending champs are 25 and 2. Dude, they are on pace to lose eight games this year, man. They are fucking good. So the West is really good. But anyway, congratulations to my New York Knicks.

It was nice to see them win something. And shout out, the Knicks have made a decision. I don't know if you guys heard this. They made a decision that they are not going to raise that to the Raptors. They said they're not doing that. They're not raising that. They're not doing that. They're not doing that, which I like, okay?

I like that you guys actually had to discuss that. Yeah. Well, they kept going. Are you guys going to put it up in Madison Square Garden? It's the third one ever, because I guess the Lakers won the first one, the Bucks won the second one, and then... I bet the Lakers put it up. Yeah, Silver made a call.

Those fucking guys, dude, I swear to God. The Lakers will put up anything. They'll fucking put anything up there. They got a banner up there. They somehow won an end. championship before the NBA existed. They got like four or five

from Minneapolis. They got pile on teams, attach cases, the cocaine and cash, forum club, whatever the fuck you need, whatever they need to try and keep up with the Celtics is insane. Which, by the way, if the Patriots somehow win it this year, which I know is

crazy, we would have the most NBA titles and Super Bowl titles alone with only four teams there, Mr. Nebula. New York with your 97 fucking teams, I would be happy. And Paul, I wouldn't rub it in your face, but you'd feel the vibe. It would definitely be a vibe. I'll tell you what, if the Patriots do that, I got as even a non-patriot fan, of course,

I would be very impressed. Like if the Patriots came back and just started winning titles again, dude, it's like, what can you say? You know, what can you say? Oh, Paul, they'll figure something out. the New York media will always think of something to say when a Boston team wins. But, Bill, I'll give you this. I'll give you this one.

My favorite one was when we finally won a World Series. The New York Post was like, both time. Couldn't even say congratulations. I give you this, though. If the Patriots win a Super Bowl this year and it said the Lombardi Trophy now goes back to its rightful owner, I wouldn't be mad at that. Do you want to know why? because if the Yankees won a World Series

and they said that about us, I would be like, okay. That's why I don't like it. It's nobody's right. That's a sign of a bad league. Yeah. The fact that ESPN, whenever they fucking, the Yankees win it,

they go, and all is right in baseball. It's just like, like, okay, so we're all just like what? Just a bunch of bums? I mean, the whole thing is stupid. Somebody said it. Somebody probably said it in like the 19, whatever, 40s or 50s, you know, waxing poetic about America in the fall or something like that. I'm sure.

And then they're just quoting that. I don't think that they realized what they're saying. I don't know. Did you see the Stuart Scott 30 for 30? No. It's fucking amazing. Really? Yeah.

I had no idea in the 1990s. it was still that racist I didn't see it like the stuff he was doing like you know quoting hip hop and all of that stuff I mean it was so they was so out of touch because everybody I knew loved it thought it was funny when he called Vladi Diva

he called him Vladdi Dati I remember I was I burst it out laughing I'm like that's fucking great dude cooler than the other side of the pillow was fucking incredible well that was an expression but I love that that existed all right I'm giving it, Vladdi Dottie was his thing, though, Paul.

I'm going to want the original material here. Bloddy Dottie. Lottie. I burst it out laughing. And then there was, I guess, a bunch of people there. A bunch of white people in Connecticut, Paul. Can you imagine? Yeah, that was really fascinating.

Dude, they were like talking about the way he dressed, that he was dressed into black and all of this shit. It's like, you realize most of these sports are dominated by black athletes. And the white people watching it don't have a problem. Why would I then need this guy to go on camera with a blue blazer? And wasn't he an athlete? I think he was an athlete that went to UNC. I don't know if he played like on the main.

Yeah, he went to Chapel Hill. You know what that reminds me? I remember that that first openly gay player was playing for like the St. Louis Rams and they kept asking questions. And then the one guy in the Rams is going like, yeah, man, it's no big deal. You guys are the ones making it a big deal. Yeah. And he kissed his boyfriend after he got drafted.

And he was like, good. I fucking love his boyfriend sitting on like the arm of the chair. And his boyfriend was so much smaller. It was fucking the greatest thing ever. He's just a skinny little dude. Oh, man, that was the best. Oh, we got a shot. Guys, we didn't shout out to sponsor.

We have to shout out to sponsor because if you want to come along with our picks, all you got to do is download the BetMGM app to your device. And you put a minimum of $10. in the account and you make your first wager. If your wager loses, you'll get $1,500 in bonus bets. Use our code, Burr, very easy, B-U-R-R, and you could bet with us. And they also have the first touchdown promotion. I will say this, though.

I don't know, I don't think it's BetMGM, but one of these, one of these online betting things, you guys got to stop having these commercials with his 50 people in a bar and everybody hit their bet.
