Week 18, a lot of people think Hayes in the Barn at this point, not so fast, my friends. Panthers and Buccaneers taking place, the winner of this game will win the NFC South. Seahawks and 49ers, both in the playoffs, the winner of that game will get the number one seed. Lions Bears, don't worry about that. Chargers, Broncos win this game. They get the one seed in the AFC, and then at the bottom, ignore that one right there. We'll talk about it, but don't worry about it.

Raven Steelers, winner of that game, NFC, Norwich. My future's prediction was Steelers to win the North. We'll see what happened on the show. Let's go to the standings for a second. Everybody in their mother, three and four. I'm sitting up one game ahead of Delaney, which is incredible, by the way. I know we talked about it last week, but that's amazing.

I was in the trenches last week, boys. I was in the trenches last week. Do you want to give a quick breakdown about that? Like, overall, everyone's back? Overall, everybody's back. Last week was Christmas week, so not a lot of help. And Rupopped the 104 fever. She had until Tuesday night kind of went away.

Fever came back. Wednesday. went back up, took her and Scotty to the pediatrician on Christmas Eve morning, because Scotty was also running a 103, 104, Charles was running a 102. They all got the flu, went to the pediatrician, Roo got her ears check. She ended up catching an ear infection from the flu. Her fever was back up. Friday was the first kind of normal day of like a normal routine.

But we embraced Christmas as much as possible. Family canceled planes to come in, but we made it work. We built some gingerbread houses. We opened up some presents. We had some fun, a lot of chaos, a lot of turmoil. Yeah. But we made it out alive. You hit me with the gingerbread house saying keep the vibes alive.

And that fired me up. Yeah. And also, Charles, your wife had a birthday this weekend as well. Yes, she had a birthday. So all that coupled into one. And it's like, we can look at Will Compton and feel bad for Will Compton. But getting on the other side of this, that scoreboard is crazy right now. You got yourself a few days where you can lean back and be like,

so remember that? You know? Remember that? still made the lasagna for Christmas Day, while six. So I still got a... Yeah. She was grind. I would kind of remind her, hey, the scoreboard were kind of getting it.

And she would get in the grind mode a little bit. You can take it easy. I like that. But we're back. It was good to come into the shop this week. Yes, indeed. I noticed you came in. Nails still...

Yeah, what's going on? We got two of the biggest bears hater all season long. You know, I've never... Three of the biggest bear to do. I have never hated on the bears. You've been against the bears all year. No, I have not. No, I have not.

You got against the bears so much. You said if the bears make the playoffs. I was, look. You was like, yo, the bears suck. If the bears even come close, if they make the playoffs, I'll pay my nails. Because I know it's not. They have a 12.5% chance. Let's get this right, everyone out there.

Honestly, I didn't hear what he said. When he first said it, I didn't hear what he said. And then he was just like, if the bears make it to the playoffs, would you paint your nails? I'm like, of course. Thinking that I'm with the bears. Do we need to go back and watch that? We had a full conversation.

I said, would you get kids? Caleb on your fingers? Nah, I'm doing that. Don't believe everything you see. Most of that stuff is AI. I had a conversation with a computer. No, I mean, it was me sitting in the seats, but the words coming out of my mouth may have been AI. So are you saying that you did not say you'd paint your nails?

No, I said I will paint my nails. Well, but you said you didn't know what I said. When the hell? I didn't know what you, I didn't know you said if they, I didn't know you was saying, I was taking them against them. going against them. I thought I was for them. Watching you get through that sentence, I realized you don't remember. Hey, regardless, Delaney, you're a man of your word.

I am. Yeah, you went six and oh. Your word is as good as gold, okay? It's like the gospel. And so I just went ahead and took the initiative to bring in a local Nashville nail tech, dare I say, artist who's gonna be painting your nails the entire episode. So Heather, if you don't mind coming on out,

I have him. Hey, yeah, y'all lying. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, we got to get the nails painted. What hand would you like to start with? Your left or your right?

The left. Okay. Heather, you don't mind sitting up. Did you anything? Yeah, I just blew the chair. Yeah, okay. Yeah. Maybe some water.

Something cozy, too. Yo, y'all, yeah. Yeah. You're joking. I don't know what. Hey, Carl, forget you. He sent me up. He sent me up.

He sent me up. He sent me up. Because I'm like, he like, dude, you see he's getting a lot of trim right now. And I'm like, yeah, I'm going to paint him for the, I'm going to get him painting. He's like, no, I don't do that. He said no one's doing after the show. He said you up. He set me up.

That is so. Do you do like designs? Like, what's your special? Oh, just waiting. Oh, you don't want to know. No, what? Listen. A real quick, real quick. I reached out to Heather a few days ago.

I was looking for a local nail artist. You know, not just a tech who could do colors, but an artist. And I found Heather here impressive designs. Reached out, she thought it was a little odd, so I had to have clump jumping. That's good, you gotta make sure. Yeah, but she ate.

And her husband who's here, friend of the show, by the way. So he knew. Is he, where's he at? Yeah. Yeah. You want to come on one quick? Introduce yourself?

behind the scenes guys moment yeah so she hey Heather was fired up she immediately began practicing the the Caleb's number hearts you know bear down daddy bear so we're just going to leave it up to her to have yeah as an artist we don't want to restrict her creative ability yeah so we're just going to let her do her thing for the show right in about 45 minutes to an hour you'll be ready to go you'll be looking pretty and I'm not going to tell Heather this, I'm just going to tell you this, but I love to be as West Hollywood as possible, if you know what I mean. Sparkles, glitter.

I know. I'm not going to tell you. That's my personal preference. I'm dead right now. I'm not even going to lie. Guys, they got me. The beautiful has been got. I am dead.

And then Heather, whenever you're ready, feel free, just move around. If you need us to move this while we're talking, we'll do whatever you need. This is your show today. Damn. All right? I wasn't expecting that. What a time? The lady, the whole time you were waiting on the other side she was.

I saw them come up. Really? I saw them go upstairs and I'm like, who the hell was that? But I didn't, I didn't question it. You know, I'm just doing your thing, man. I'm just doing my thing, you know. They're walking the building. Yeah, yeah.

She had the Titans, she had the Titans. I see, yeah, the Venty. I sure did. I pulled it out. Yeah. Did you have an 82 Titans jersey back in the day? No, Mike's parents did. It was a little too big.

so I just found this sweater. Yeah. That's awesome. I love it. I'm so uncomfortable right now. He's just, you know, I did the crazy, so. Yeah, that's awesome. So how's I feel to see one of your heroes like this right now?

Let's get into the games, huh? Yeah, let's get the games. This is great. The Panthers and the Buccaneers. The Panthers are playing at the Bulldogs. They paid two weeks ago. The winner of this game wins the NFC sour. The bucks are favored by three points minus three. The total in that game is 44 and a half. Would you like to start, Mule? You got chat GPT up there? I'm gonna let y'all go, man. I'm like, I'll fluster. I'm flustered. I'll go. This to me is Panthers. This is Panthers. And it's just, it's really sad to see because I know we sat there in September. We're like Baker Mayfield. He's having an MVP caliber. Look at all the comebacks he's had in the fourth quarter. I think he had four in the first quarter. I think he had four in the first. first like seven weeks of comeback winning drives.

And it's got to be, he reminds me of what we kind of talks about with Ty Simpson and Alabama. Baker Mayfield seems like a guy that's he's playing through a lot of injuries right now, whether they're disclosed or not, but he's fighting through it. You give them a lot of love for that. It breaks my heart. But the Panthers, and you lean on defense and run game in these situations, and the Panthers have that edge over them, so I'll be taking the Panthers. I'm rolling with you here.

I think the juice is gone in Tampa. You look at Todd Bowles and the. footive, late in post-game tirade after the Falcons, you know, the 14-point lead, they didn't bounce back from that.

And like, and the way they're kind of cussing at each other on the way into the locker. Mike Evans yelling third and 14, third and 14. Yeah. You just, you know, I just,

I don't think either team really wants to win it, but as you said with Carolina, I mean, they held the Seahawks to three points in the first half. So their defense does show up at times. I think the talent, disparity in the second half really showed itself. But, you know, Bryce Young, I read these stats off, 14 completions for 54 yards for 2.3 yards per attempt, whereas Dowdell was running for 4.9 yards per attempt here.

So it's shown that the way they're going to win is running the ball, playing defense. He had a nice interception. I forget in the end zone on Darnold there. But I give them the plus three. The Panthers are plus three here. I just think the juice is gone in Tampa. And I think there's going to be some changes coming down there. But I mean, shoot, even if the Bucks win, the Falcons muddied it up last night.

Excuse me. They muddied it up by winning because there could potentially be a three-way tie where the bucks win and the Falcons beat the Saints, Carolina still goes to the playoffs. So you've got to think that's, that's weighing on their mind too. You got to play the odds. What odds are those? The odds. Yeah.

There's a couple situations where Panthers are in. Yeah. Yeah, the odds. So there's more odds to the Panthers make it head. Yeah, I'm just wondering why we're not going money line. Boys why we're not getting the Moneyland Matthews on this one. Moneyline, Manthans? I like Moneyline Panthers.

I like Moneyline Panthers. I like... I can't let you steal my flow. Well, I know that's why I was kind of waiting. Let's do it. Hey, Panthers Money Line. I like it. Yeah, I'm rolling Panthers Money Line.

I see it more as like Panthers fighting for the opportunity to playoff, like the optimism, the life that they still have in the building. Like the kind of trade-off games, losing one, winning one. The old Redskins were in that situation back in 2015 where the whole you like that game happens with Kurt Cousins. We were two and four at the time, end up beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and kind of going on this,

win every other game. Got to harden it up. Win every other game, but you're fighting for that chance to get into the playoffs where I feel like the Buccaneers kind of have, they haven't played to their level

of the expectation throughout the season. So them going into this game, the winning end game, I like the Panthers because, again, defense run game and everything else. So I'm going to go Panthers money. And you know the conversation

with the Bucks in that locker room and that team, meeting room is guys regardless of how things have gone the last four or five weeks like we're still in a position to like make it to the playoffs win the division and I understand that vibe but also there's a lot of you get in the locker room if things start to not go with their way earlier in the game it's when you've lost and things have not gone your way the last four or five weeks that's when you kind of crumble and it's like you know we're going to make it to the playoffs but at what cost like one extra from which teams for the for the for the bucketings the panthers have a little more

juice yeah a little more rolling I'm playing into I like the Panthers I'll still be taking a plus three. But that's just a hedge bet. I think they're going to win out, right? Just a hedge. But for the sake of standings, I see my name with a one next to it. And I'm like, I don't want to, I don't want to lose that. Yeah. It's a nice little, that's a little baby I got there. Because at one point and at one point, but now, you know, who you got? You know, everything you guys said is, is pretty much spot on. The Buccaneers is a team that's dwindling. They, they don't know what they want to do. Do they want to win a and go to the playoffs or do they ready to go on a vacation? Look like they ready to go on a vacation.

The Panthers are a team that is fighting showing that they can keep up, put points on the board, but the defense, that defense right there is the reason why they are so successful. And with that being said, I am taking the under, the undertotal of, what is that? 44 and a half. I'm taking the under. I don't think that. Oh, my God. Don't even look at it.

It's just a base. I don't even look at it. Hey, just wait till the end. primer she's moving to her yeah uh under under under under i do like that big hey boys do we have any worries about i just feel like the panthers have a little case of the yips when it comes to uh big moments yeah or winning back to back games wenting back to back games i'm just i'm a little worried you know because tampa does at times look incredible baker forcing a few passes but i'm rolling with the the the panthers based on their defense and their run game but i'm just i i think it's like we started out here i don't

I don't think either team. I think it's probably going to be a one and done for either of these teams. Oh, in the playoffs. It's 2015 Washington, bro. I'm telling you. Well, it depends. Who did they play in the wild card game? Oh, I forgot. My bad, bro. You don't know what I'm saying? Yeah, you're right. One and done. That was the Clay Matthews year. That was the year we went into the playoffs and you single-handedly won that game. Hey, thanks, bro. Hey, they kind of diffused you there for a second. Didn't you? I didn't know. I want to do. I'm not I'm agreeing with you. He was like, all right.

Yeah. All right, then. Your four tackles won the game. One and a half sacks. Force fumble. Yeah. Yeah. Four tackles.

Don't do that. So we got the Seahawks. Stop it. And I didn't. It's like one. And ten. We got the Seahawks at the 49ers. This game, whoever wins this game, will have the one seat in the NFC.

Incredible to see with Shantahan, the 49ers, the defense and the injuries that they've had. The Seahawks are favorite at one and a half. Total points in that game is 49 and a half points. William? Pass. Got it. Clay. My first reaction

without breaking all this down is watching the 49 versus the Bears. I don't think, well, Ben Johnson, but there's another better offensive play called it than Shanahan right now. I mean,

their offense is absolutely rolling. They've got holes on defense, obviously missing Fred Warner, Bosa, you know, it was just back and forth. I was telling Taylor, it's a casual NFL fan's dream, just back.

and fourth points comes down to four points left in the game. But Seattle, I think they're second in the league right now in points per game. Yeah, allowing the fewest points per game at 17.3. Man, I just, if the 49, and the Seahawks have been starting slow as of late, especially in the first half. I could see a game where the 49ers get, you know, a 14 point lead early and then the Seahawks are coming back, but I don't feel comfortable one way or the other. So I'm going to take the cowards pick here and just go over 49 and a half and just hope for a good game.

Fun offensive game. You got to look at this. This is a classic rival, two teams who hate each other. The 49ers versus the Seahawks. It's going to be a showdown, but I think it's going to be a low scoring game. It's going to come down to execution and coaching. I am taking an under on this game. I'm rocking with Delaney.

I thought everything you was saying was going to go under. Division of these team ball and I just feel like the 49ers, all the game. I just feel like the 49ers. offense is going to put up at least 24 points. And the Seahawks are going to be right there with them. I just don't think the 49ers have a defense to combat darn old. That run game, a buddy had, was it Charbonnet, two touchdowns last week. I just, I think it's going to be a high scoring affair.

I don't know who wins this. Should be a fun game. I like the over here, but I completely understand. You feel a shootout? You feel a shootout? I mean, I don't know if like a 28, 24 games, a shootout. maybe it is depending on your definition of it. I just think, I don't think it's going to be like the 49ers Bears game.

Does it not? Does it change your guys' thought process at all, knowing that the 49ers in the last three games have scored 37 or more points? Yeah, but against the Seahawks. But this is the experience. Experience is an odders late decade ago. And playing for the one seed? Playing for the one seed.

Yeah. But this isn't Pete Carroll. This isn't our ball. The new coaches. You're right. But that's the same. You got atmosphere, though. That same.

atmosphere everyone knows what's on the line they talking about this we may not put a lot of points on the board it's gonna be a greedy game whoever wanted the most is gonna come out on top they saying that you know San Francisco is not that loud no they're not well well it's gonna be a big game you got Trent over there where hold on it's not that is Trent even playing this week oh it's a short week I think that you didn't really see well then that should even help our case if Trent don't play the offenses they down a big piece talking myself out of it.

Hey, but you know who's coming back? Allegedly. Kiddle. I heard that. I heard that. Allegedly. It's going to be a dog fight. Yeah, it's going to be a dog fight.

Here's a stag. For the one C. For the one C. Yeah, for the one C. Give me a nugget. Give me a nugget. Okay, Seattle this year, there's seven and one on the road.

Seven and one. They're five and one against the spread as away favorites. That's enough for me to lean towards Seattle, especially with the small of spread right here. And Sam Donald, He hasn't been himself the last couple of weeks. Brock Purdy, since he's been back, has been incredible.

All the Mac Jones, should he be a starter? That is completely getting silenced. He's still going to catch himself a back at the end of this year. No, he got one more year. He signed a two years. Someone's going to give up a two. Oh, I could see it. I could see it.

Desperate. Desperate teams. Need a quarterback. Who knows, Dante Moore, does he come in, does he go to the draft? Does he stay for one more year? People are looking at this quarterback draft class. It's not that strong. What if we get somebody that we know can play in the NFL?

I can definitely see somebody to give a lot. I can definitely see something to give up a two. But I'll go Seattle. That's smart. I'll go Seattle. I like Seattle too. Which is going against my original pick. I picked the 49th to win the division.

Yeah. Teams that know each other well. CMC. 1402 yards. They know each other well, Clay. I know. I just think they're at a different point. It was, was Matt playing at that time?

Like who would? I just, the first. I got to stick with it. I just got to roll with it. It was Brock. It was Brock. The first game.

I just got to roll with it. Okay. And it's like we're in playoff football mode with this game. Well, we went to a last, between the Bears and the 49ers was playoff football and it was just. Yeah, but not like, not like this week. Not like Week 18. This is for the one seed. Which means offensive mastermind.

Shanahan's just drawn up everything in the dirt. And you saw who what? Oh, no, that was a bear. I keep going back to the Bears with the hook and ladder. We got two teams running it. Yeah. All right. We ended up this episode of bring you form energy.

Form Energy delivers best in class taste with natural flavors and zero sugar. Forum Energy has natural caffeine derived from green tea. Form comes in a variety of flavors. We're talking about screaming freedom. We got Grape Smash, Blue Blitz, Orange Fury, perfect for those who put in the work. Form Energy. We do the work. Let's get to this episode. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what?

We have some big news. What's the news, new? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. able to do podcasts.

Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Oh, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes.

I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call it. in and say, hey Jonas, and then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smigel and Friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier.

And I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs. And on the Renee Stubbs Tennis Podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris, every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on Clay. Jen she went. I mean, she went down in three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay.

Listen, Lena Rubakina is arguably the best player in the world right now, and I actually can win on any surface, because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court-side seat to the French Open. Listen to the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast on the IHeart Radio app. podcast or wherever you get your podcasts presented by capital one founding partner of i heart women's sports i'm just saying i love you at are you going over i'll just give me the over he's going over over under under seattle okay all right lions at bears your boy caleb you already know at bears minus two and a half total points in that game 49 and a half points delaney you got who's going to take some

flesh out of him you got to look at it where the the I don't know what it is about December, January football. You got the good teams playing to the bad teams level. I don't understand that. What team are we going to get? What Lions team are we going to get? Are we going to get the lines that can come out with a high-power offense, put points on the board at any given time?

Are we going to get the lines we saw with Jared Gough just throwing the ball over? Was it five turnovers? Six turn-over. I mean, that is crazy. And we know how well the Bears are with the takeaways, how good the defense is playing. Caleb is playing some good football right now. At the end of the day, I am getting my nails painting

because of the bears are playing some great football and they're going to the playoffs. So I'm going to stick with this. Got to. Bears, bears, bears, but I'm taking the under. I'm sorry to the Bears fans. I think this is a no-brainer here. I think the bears have a lot to play for here

as the number two seed sets up a rematch with the Packers, who they're obviously very familiar with at the 7 seed, which I'm just, I'm loving. I'm loving. Do the Bears still suck? Hey, we'll find out. Trump said it. It's got to be true there.

Hey, don't shoot the messenger, okay? I was just reading the message here. But they split this. You weren't here last week. A little rehash, 2010, the year we won the Super Bowl, we split the regular season series, peace. We had to go back to Soldier Field to beat them on our way to the Super Bowl. And we all know how that ended. Beautiful diamonds on my finger now. But so, I'm just saying, those, those who don't study

history are doomed to repeat it. That's a bar. Yeah. It's actually, like Teddy Roosevelt or somebody. No, I think for the Bears, it's an no-brainer. I mean, the Lions lost 23 to 10 facing a third-string quarterback who threw for three net passing yards. Nine for 16 for 51 yards. Like, it's over. You're not making the playoffs. They need to look in the mirror or look at themselves. They have too much firepower between Gibbs and golf and, I mean, you name it, up and down

the board, and they're playing at Soldier Field. I'm not sure what the weather's going to be, but we know the team plays better, the Lions play better in the dome. They're going outside. Bears have more to play for. Give me the Bears at minus two and a half cover. And I think this is the no-brainer of the week. You think the lines are kind of laying down?

Of course. But I'm saying you really think like Dan Campbell, that locker room. Those boys aren't going to go out. Those guys aren't going to go out. I feel you. Last week, did you think they were going to lay down for the Vikings? That was for the playoffs. That was, yeah, much bigger implications.

Bigger states. If you're going, I'm already going. But you won't be alone. Lines? I don't think I'm going to lie. I'm going to. I'm just more so asking the question. Are we really talking ourselves?

I get that they play a bad. had game last week, but we think they're just, they're just going to pack it in and give up and go to Soldier Field being like, I can't wait until this game's over. Yeah, because I think they upstairs like, we need a new quarterback. Brother, they were 14 and 2 last year. Of course they're packing. I'm doing. No, that's a fan base is calling for Jared God said.

Last year, they played the Houston Texans in Houston and Jared had a similar game. He played terrible. Yeah. And with they lit it up. I get it. But how many times have we felt like, I felt like golf is the reason why the lines are not making into the playoffs. Let's just be honest. I think I think he's I think he's up and down. Up and down. The pocket's clean. I think you know he can he can deliver any past over 300 yards.

You like to like Derek golf is a scrub. I'm not saying he a scrub but I'd rather have Stafford. So they should trade him back. No, I ain't say that. I'm just saying eight. It's like I'd rather have Drake May. Yeah. Yeah. Drake May MVP? Dude, I think so. Or do you think they give you to Stafford just because he's old head? And so I feel like the stock for Drake May has went up because of that primetime game. I agree. And like there were, you know, comments coming back at me in the reply saying like he shouldn't

be defined by this one game, yada, yada, which I don't disagree with. I'm just saying this late in the year on prime time where everybody's watching and voting is about to take place and everything else and you throw three picks. And Drake May's out there throwing five touchdowns. I don't care against which NFL team it is. Like that's going to play. Yeah, it's an NFL team. Like that's going to play a part in the voting.

And it's like New England's got Miami this week. We're assuming they're going to take care of Miami. Of course. They go off on a win and it's going to be Drake Mays. Oh, he's lean for sure. Drake May is minus 390 right now to win MVP. So he jumped up to a match. Where's Stafford at?

Stafford's plus 280 and Fanduil and Drake Mays minus 320. That's that last game. 390? The last game. And they were just, they were just neck and neck. Last game just changed that whole shift, that whole little. Yeah, no, I think I think there's an argument for both

And you're right, one quarterback shouldn't be defined by one game However, it's a prime time game You're at the end of the year Recy bias clearly takes place When it comes to this voting Like you gotta finish stronger than you start True And that game which is shitty

Because I think Matthew Stafford I mean he doesn't have one yet right? No, he doesn't have one And he's playing arguably his best year he's had Which is heartbreaking And even if you look at their stats Like with the three picks Was it that Matthew Stafford had last night?

Yeah Three picks he now has the same amount of interceptions is Drake May. And 12 more touchdowns? 300 more yards? Something like that. Something out there. Something out there. I'm just doing numbers up the wall. Sometimes you got to look at who's catching that ball, though, too.

You got Pooka. Pooka catch a five-yard route and turning into 80. So that turns his stats, Stafford's stats into even crazier numbers. DeVante in the red zone. Devante in the red zone. Now look at the Patriots. They didn't get Stefan to what, weak

I don't know. I don't know exactly. Maybe week six. But is he a true wide receiver one at this point in his career? Right. Tori, coming up to TORRICL, yeah, he's older. Like, the casual fan's not going to name the wide receivers that are on the field for the Patriots. No.

But the casual fan can for the Rams. For the Rams. All day. Yeah, that's a great argument for the Patriots and Drake May. Anyway, I'm taking the Lions. Whoa. I'm taking the Lions. Shook that one up.

I like, I know the Bears are playing for more. The Lions are playing for nothing. They shish that. the bed when they were supposed to make the, uh, had a chance to make the playoffs last week. You gave the stats about, uh, the other quarterback. Listen, Dan Campbell in the culture, Jared Goff, the type of guy he is, friend of the show, sits there. He seems like a guy that's water off his back. He doesn't, he has a bad game. He knows he let the team down. This, he's going to come full

force this game. And I can actually see them winning this game. It's only two and a half points. So I'll take that money line. I thought I was taking crazy pills for a second, but Devon Diggs has been on the squad the whole year. No, I mean, as far as, he's, injury coming back from him. No, I think he played the one. Did he play week one? No, he did not play week one. He was out of practice the day we were, yeah.

He was coming back from, I believe it, toward ACL last year. Yeah, he wouldn't, he didn't play, with a big breakout game was against, was it the bills? Yeah, against the bills. That was like week one. When they lost the Raiders on September 7th,

he had six receptions from 57 yards. He was out there. That was week one. Really? Yeah. So, they lost in the Raiders. Right. Played all the September.

Oh, damn. He just had a breakout game against the bills. I thought he, I just said, I thought he didn't play. The craziest thing you were just saying, we were just kind of having a sidebar about us. Isn't it insane the Patriots lost to the Raiders? I know, crazy. And like that, like, at that point in time,

we're like, you know, the Raiders. We thought the Bears are going to be all right. She's going to get it done. They're going to get it done. Nope. I'm going to take the Bears. I'm going to take the Bears. I didn't get my pick out there, but I'm going to go Bears to cover.

All right. Next game is the Commanders and the Eagles. Eagles favored by six and a half points. Total night game is 41 and a half. Looks good. Don't look at it. Don't look at it. Have you,

has it come up nice, Willie? It looks good. It don't even look like my fit hand. Like, every time I look at it, it looks like a girl's hand. That's because you put motion on it, brother. Huh? It just looked like a girl's hand. I don't even.

Oh, yeah, Commander's Eagles. I mean, you're big Eagles guy. Will, what are you thinking? Are the Eagles going, I like commanders with the points. Eagles are still in play for their seeding. They're sitting between two and three. The Bears are.

Do we know what time these games are between the Bears and the Eagles as far as, is there any implications? Oh, wow. So they're both playing to win. They're both playing. Am I seeing this right? Does this one feel like an Eagles Moneyline game? So if the Bears win, they get the two. What am I looking at?

It just Eagles Money Line. They're favored by six and a half. Here's what I'm going to say. Talk to us. Oh, they're six and a half. Last time I checked they were seven and a half. I thought it was seven and a half too. Yeah.

Okay. I like that. Like I even wrote moved to six and a half. So me and Fanduil. They need to employ me. Okay. Hey, real quick, I threw an 11-leggar out this weekend. And this guy shits on it.

I threw it out, I didn't shit on that, bro. When you win, you win, that's been you won. Plus 399. He goes, awful lot of work for $3.99. I'm like, bro. No, you're right. The point of gambling is to lose, my bad. No, no, no, no.

My bad. I'm just picturing you sitting there. Scrobing all these games and putting together winners. Like, didn't you win a 15-leger the week? Yeah. Yeah. Like, since you've been out of the office, he's been going crazy. Yeah.

And I did come up short last night. Exactly. But as I was telling, as I was telling Mitch, the only person who lost more than me was Matthew Stafford last night. Okay. So we just let that one go. That was an anomaly. We get back on the horse. But I just picture him going through just all these situations to pick.

Oh, yeah, absolutely. Two plus receptions, like these massive double-digit leg parlayes. And it come out plus $3.99. You could probably, you know, delete a couple of those legs that still have the same odds as what Wilson. No, I check it. I check it. I make sure. Maybe I get this all out of here.

Yeah. I got another one. He's like Stafford. To record a 10-yard reception. Yeah, I'm going to. That's going to move me up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Two points.

You're winning. That's what- Whether I see Stafford over 50 yards passing or not, that's aside from- Hey, who do you guys got, Eagles commanders? Money line? I was kind of asking for some advice. Advice. Advice.

Ad-points, brain. I was asking for some advice. What's your advice? My advice is I go with the Eagles here. Eagles what? Eagles, I got an Eagles minus six and a half. six and a half. I think this game's going to be closer. If you remember, if you remember the Eagles went for two points just two, just a week ago,

or two weeks ago, whenever it was that they played last. One of the last time they went for two points. Dan Quinn was on the field looking around saying, hey, we're going to play him again. So they'd love nothing more than to play spoiler at least and maybe. And there was a fight at the end of the game. But that's what I'm saying. So there was something going on. But the commanders have lost 10 of their last 11 games. They're playing with their third string quarterback. I think just the talent disparity between these two teams is too much. I know it's a divisional game.

We talked about divisional games being close, but and the Eagles look phenomenal in the first half against the bills, both offensively and defensively. But then you look at these, I mean, this is what we've talked about all year with the Eagles. You look at the second half numbers, 17 total yards. They had it five times, five possessions in the second half on offense. Four, three and outs. One time they got a first down for 13 yards. total that.

I mean, it's just... They've done that twice this year. It's... Second half, under 20 yards. But I still think the Eagles, they take care of this game. I think it's going to be closer. I wouldn't be surprised

if they win by four, but for the show's sake. No, no, no. We've clearly thrown that out the window. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, do what you want. I like to play a little bit. I don't want to get people too upset.

You know what I'm saying? Hang on. Hang on. You know, don't know. Do you mind? I feel like, we've told that joke enough to where I'm... I literally said to your.

Oh, you did? My bad. Give me the Eagles money line right here. Last week, this exact thing happened. I'll give people between the Eagles money line. Eagles money line. Eagles fly. What are we got with Delaney?

Under. Divisional game. It's a divisional game. Like he said, everything he said, the second half, they will not score. I mean, they don't put points. I mean, they don't do a lot on offense. I think it's going to be a low-scoring game. so I'm gonna keep it under.

I just feel like all these games gonna be low scoring. It just is what it is. It is what it is. Under 41. Yeah, I can't move. You know, I'm a hand person when I talk. Yeah, you're kind of making my designs while.

Sorry. He wants to just look at the camera. The same of the mule. Hey, is that stat you said, Quint? The last one, last bar. Which one now? The bottom. The last thing.

The very bottom. Delaney, why don't we get. I know. You didn't say that, Seth? They want them to look better. O and seven? This is, yeah, yeah, this is, uh, Joan Hertz is the first quarterback since 1978 to go 0 and seven

in the second half or worse in multiple games. He said that to me. That's what, well, sent you. It was part of the stat, yeah. There's a few that we're going around with the Eagles. The full stat is the 2,025 Eagles are the first team since the 1987 Patriots to win multiple games in a season in which they did not complete a pass in the seven.

What? And it was Jalen Hertz twice this year. He went 0 for seven twice. That is insane. That's what you're getting with the Eagles, man. He's going around here saying. He's baking on them not scoring. He'll just, this is, I feel great about the money line.

Yeah, I do too. I feel really good about the money line. But the only thing it gives me pause is a divisional game. And with what happened last time, Dan Quinn, getting the boys ready, they, there's going to be a little extra motivation because like, a 15-R penalty here and there. Yeah, I just think I look at the commanders way differently with the Lions.

Like the commanders have just kind of been gone the whole year. Like expectations, as soon as September ended, everyone kind of forgot about them, moved on. And with the Lions, I feel like that culture is still intact even in week 18. But Queen's a culture guy too.

No doubt. No doubt. It just feels, this is just a personal feeling. It just feels different. Yeah, I'm just, my thought is I just don't see either of these teams even though they know they're years over. Like week 18, all of a sudden.

They're just showing up and rolling out, like, hey, let's get this game over with. Yeah. They're going out for one last spike. You love to talk about Super Bowls. No one knows Week 18 means nothing more than me and Delaney. And we still play hard. The team still plays hard. That's where you get the speeches, not for the name of you.

If you've got to play for something, play back there. Yeah. That's when you flip the script on everybody. That can't talk is now completed. Yeah, look around. This entire roster is going to look different. Oh, yeah. I might not be here.

When the head coach was, I might not be here next year. That's when you know. Oh shit, we got to put a resume out for this. Yeah, yeah. Is there a world, though, where the Eagles rest their starters? Because Siriani after the game, I think somebody had asked him, do you rest your starters? And he said, ah, it's a little too early for that. But the fact he didn't put it down and with the bears, who are they playing again?

We just talked about. Is there a world where they, if it's not going their way, do they rest them? What's the difference between a two and a three? Two is going to play the Packers. three is going to play either the Rams or 49ers? Yes. Yes. So that would be.

It'd be a loser of Niners, Seattle. Yeah. Right? They'll be the three. They'll be the three. I'm saying out of the 49ers or the Seals. The five seed is going to be the loser of Niners in Seattle. And that's a tough game.

Clump, you're the Philly guy. That's a tough game. You think Philly's up there. Have you seen any more outside of? I haven't seen anything in that. I'm surprised, though, Will Compton didn't smirk and say that the Eagles will be better if they didn't play Jalen Hurts.

I am surprised that that was not your kids. I'm sitting there waiting and be like, Tanner McKee's still going to sling the rock around. I think the Eagles backups would still beat the commanders. I think they'd still cover six and a half. I don't think they rest them, no. I think if Jalen Hurst doesn't play, first round of the playoffs are saying,

who do you play? Yeah, I feel that. Hey, that made sense, right? How about two, when Siriani was coming up the tunnel? Be like, I ain't talking anymore. Then he looks over at AJ, and he's just like, yeah, man. And Siriani kind of like keeps walking and realizes the lock rooms. You got to turn it back here.

Oh, stop, lock rooms over here. Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, big news? Huge news. We created our own podcast. called Hey Jonas.

We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how did we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember.

I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember. going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing a bit for the podcast where people could call in and say, hey Jonas. And then I

wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy.

The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis, and I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast,

I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris, every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on Clay. Jenchian went. I mean, she went down to three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lerabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now, and I actually can win on any surface,

Because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open. Listen to the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. All right. Chargers at Broncos. Broncos are favored by 11.5 points here. Total points in this game is 36 and a half.

They favorite because Jess and Herbert's not playing? They're sitting everybody. They're sitting everybody. Chargers are sitting there. Everyone. Herbert was the only one keeping them in these games. Being Superman out there. Without him,

defense salt, too. Well, they are solid, but if they're resting them as well. They got the old buddy, though, for 49ers quarterback, right? What's his name? Kaepernick? Lance. Oh, train Lance. I wouldn't be,

I wouldn't be surprised if Jim Horvall ain't got. You know when Philip Riverside. Well, hey, we. That would be crazy. That household had to be. Piz. Hey, we need to get Heather to Delaney's right hand now. Oh, yeah, yeah. Do we need a little help? Can we have something? Move this stool. How are we looking? Yeah, that's us.

Let me see, let me get a look at it. Hey, how dare you? No, he was blowing my hands. He was blowing my hands. Oh, he was blowing my hands. Come here. Say it for the reveal. Hey, that's how you got to do. That is insane. You're doing an incredible job. Oh, my God, is nuts. Oh, polished. Hey, just hit up with that. That is crazy. Somebody, I watch the interview, they say, How do males look at their nails? How do, how do male?

This? No, you go, no, like this. You see something, you see them, yeah, you're closer look at that. Yeah, like this. So which one is us? What the hell is that? This or this?

Biss. I was showing you. Hey, Degg, you show them like this. Listen, you do it where you all. On this show, we support. Friends of the allies of the show. I like it. Friends.

You do it then. It's actually sick as pale, though. I can bust these. I show you that middle finger. Daddy bear. I didn't see which one was which. I think he suggested it in the last podcast. One of y'all suggested it,

and that's where I got the idea up for daddy bear she went back she went back she does a homework this is a show Heather friend of the show that's incredible I'm dead hey you should have seen she just looked over her husband with the biggest smile that was the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life I am dare right now you're not dead dude you've you just found the new you look at the way you're schooling on your phone too you crazy how am I supposed to school oh I'm dead right now I'm dead oh I can do there

It's got oil oil. Hey, just take me under this game. We'll move on. Minus 11.5. Total points the game is 36 and a half points. Delaney? We're back to the Broncos? Yeah.

Oh, yeah. I'm taking the under. Taking the under, 36. I'm taking up. Wait, did the line move? 36 and a half. What was that? Oh, yeah.

No, I'm taking the under. These boys ain't playing nobody on the Chargers. I'm taking the under. I get to the Bronf is coming up. 36 and a half. I know. And if the spread two is like 11.5. If, say, the Broncos are just up 20 to 3 at halftime, like they're going to be getting

the Broncos backups gear up ready to go. Just running the ball. Finish the game off. Yeah, then you have twos on twos. There should have been more scoring taking place. I don't think so. I think it'll be uglier. Yeah.

And you know the Broncos is a second half team. I feel like they're going to start off slow. A lot of points, no points going to really be getting put on the board. second half that's where they step up put a few points on the board but it's still going to be under i think the proxas will be up in the first half i think they will i think they really start to let the foot off the gas like beheld start to mitigate reps and then i see a backdoor covering happen with the charges some sneaky bullshit seven points at the end of the game and for that reason i'll think the charges plus 11 and a half hey clump you can get on the uh fandulap see what the first half number is

this is what i was thinking too yeah start a first quarter second quarter third Quarter, fourth quarter, put that in a parlay? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Too early. We can cut it. But that's one that's one to keep an eye on.

Yeah. That's one to keep an eye on big time. So, all right, where are you going? I'm going to go show these numbers that we got under. This seems like a prime. It's a prime. Delaney Walker, Clay Matthews, Broncos money money. This is an Iowa number.

Yeah, this is money line. It does because you see how big numbers. You see like, right. Bro, minus 11.5 is wild. Like, maybe minus 6 and a half. That's scary. What's minus 6 and a half? That's scary.

I don't like those numbers. But you see, he wants us to jump on it. In the text, he put it out there. That's a lot of work for 399. We're just about winning to win. Yeah, that's it. That bet right there, Broncos money line, that minus 820, that's something that lives in a Clay Matthews parlor.

Yes. With about nine other bets. And that just juices the odds right there because you know that's the closest thing. to a guarantee. I just think that stuff scares me because they sit in the locker room and the reporters is like, how are y'all feel? And then, you know, the Chargers ain't playing, no one. And all they all got about to go out there and play.

You know, they in their head like, shit, we shouldn't be playing either. You know what I'm saying? You'll be getting that. Cats get that. They say they won't, but it happens. They have to win this to keep the one seed, Denver? Yes. You're saying the backups don't care to play either?

Yeah. No, I'm talking about the starters. Patriots beat Miami and Denver loses the Chargers. They get, they get that talk by us. Are you all sitting out? The Chargers sending all their people out. They say, we in the playoffs, we don't care about getting a better seed. We're in.

We're going to get in and win. But Broncos got to make sure they win. Because if they win, they got the one seat. They got the one seat. Yeah, but sometimes that buy hurt you too, though. Yeah, but they're not thinking like that. Rest is great. Yeah, you want the one.

You know, I'm all, you know, I was old. I'm old right now. I'm like, I don't want to buy. I want to keep going because if I take that buy. So you want to lose the game of you, the Broncos. I mean, I wouldn't, I never go. go out to lose, but yeah, I'll be whispering it. Hey, we should lose.

He said, I'm old. We don't need the body wing, man. That is hilarious. How to keep these legs fresh. Hey, maybe a simple little two-leg parlay here, Broncos money line with the under. That under, oh, man. The 36 and a half kind of. What I would do.

I know, but that's like a challenge. I would do Broncos money line. I'm whiskey. I heard you. I do it. money line I tease that over under to the 42 and a half and give me the under and then I'm taking first first quarter second quarter third and fourth Broncos money line no no no to lead the lead in the in a half because they know I'm on to

them brother they got a way they got a hope I forget I'm just saying okay actually I tell you what the lions put me out this week I had a I had a juicy little three leg money line on Christmas Day, the Eagles and the, who played the first game? Dallas. Dallas. Minus two and a half. I think they won by seven. Seven.

I had, let's just fast forward to the last game, minus six and a half. Eagles won or whomever won by seven. Damn, lions. I'm just saying, I lost. Trying to walk me through that. We talked about too many games. Sounds like you got hos. We don't know how, but we sounds like you got a ho.

Yeah. By the lions. Hey, when you're explaining that new Knives Out movie, that's how I'm thinking it goes. There's too many games. Too many games. You see, the thing here is I got, we'll fast forward, but I lost. The Eagles, man, screw me. I know, I know.

They played the bills, they're lying screwing. Hey, so many bets going out. So many. I'm sorry. The parlay, will, you said, Denver money line in the under 36 and a half is plus 123. We go. Okay, that's a nice old deal. That's actually going to do the halves, too.

I'm down to do that once those things come out for sure I like that so I'll jump before the show I'll do a little you know yeah I'll take that money line under 36 and a half plus 126 123 that's nice I wonder how the viewer follows the show they probably just got up it they're gonna watch they just be pausing they go back like okay I got it now motherfuckers be just saying anything Delaney out there talking about he whispered losing games games a week. Oh shit.

I can't bet on the Broncos now. As he's getting his nails painting, I'll be whispering the shit. This True Classic Game of the Week is brought to us by True Classic.

the week every sunday's got games and one fits just right this is the true classic game of the week this is for the nfc north a fc north baltimore ravens at pittsburgh steeler's the win and in uh ravens are favored minus three and a half half total points in that game is 41 and a half under oh sorry guys I'm I was looking at her doing my nails this is winning in this is a playoff game no this is yeah this is winning in and I am going with the under actually to be honest with you great call man the Baltimore Ravens those dudes man they they hurt me last week obviously I'm not thinking Derek Henry is about to have the game that he

had four touchdowns you have over 200 yards over 200 yards fed the rock like 30 i think he the first running back in NFL history to score four times in a game correct no no no you sure yeah i don't have to look i think he is there's there's definitely been running backs have scored four times in a game i'm gonna score six six on christmas charles yeah with the christmas shoes right yeah yeah that's right no i'm tripping uh but yeah derrick henry Beasts, I didn't think he was going to, they was going to give him the ball the way he did. He went out there, showed up. The Steelers, now, with the Steelers, you got to look at, they losing a big piece, receiver done for the season.

Thank God he's still going to get his guarantee money. Thank you, Stilers, for doing that for my boy. So this game, I don't know, this is a game where I feel like either team can win this game. It's a flip of a coin. It's three, what, three and a half? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I'm just going to go under. Man, I ain't gonna cap, I'm not really focused because just shook. I'm shook. I appreciate you being honest. Yeah. Delaney took all of the unders. That parlayed together is plus 468, $10 to win $4666.

There you go. That's a mule right there. Yeah, I like that. If I wasn't getting my nails down, I'll be really excited about that. But even you're not sedated. You're just getting your nails done. It just, I don't know. He's like coming out of anesthesia.

I am with you. This game to me is confusing just because it's like the Bears they go on this three-game win streak. They lose the fucking Browns last week. Ravens, they just put up over 40 points. And Derek Henry, like, they're feeding him like the way you would assume

that they were going to be feeding them all year. I know Huntley's in. And I have no clue who's going to win this game. Yeah. D.K.'s, he has a second game suspension, correct? Yes. So he's out. He's out.

Darnel, Washington breaks his He's been reliable the whole year. Yeah, he's out. He's out. And what's the name? Jaylon Warren had 12 characters for 64 yards. They wanted to continue to pass it the whole game than they did just keep feeding him the rock.

I think, I'm sorry to whoever I just told I stepped on, but I think if you're going off your last game and you see the way the Ravens play in the momentum they have, realizing, hey, if the Browns win, we got a chance. And now they get that opportunity to play the Steelers who are really just scoring six points against the- Yeah. Now, Arod said, hey, you'll find a way. They always rise to the occasion. I know he will, but is there enough pieces on that team? I don't think T.J. Watts is going to be playing again. I just think you know Arod's going to rise to the occasion, then he's going to rise to the occasion. He's going to do it all. He can't do it all? But offensively, if he is rising to the occasion, he's going to make something happen on offense. Can the Steelers defense stop Derek Henry in the run game? No. No. Not right now. With the way they look. All year we've been talking about Derek Henry and how. they need to defeat him the Rock more. He had the three fumbles in the first three games of the year. They kind of benched him for a minute. He was splitting carries like 60, 40, not him.

Now they go to these got-to-have-it moments. They give him the Rock 36 times. They're going to do the same thing. And the more times you give him the ball, the more successfully is going to be with the Steelers' lack of power on their offense. To me, this is a clear Ravens, minus three and a half. This is it if you're the Steelers. I don't know.

The money you got there on defense. They had a chance last week to seal it. That was it. But again, this is, this is no matter what, this is it. Okay. This is for real it. Oh, for real it. Like, Aaron Rogers, could this be a last year playing?

Just in case we got to fall back. Right. Yeah. Like, they still have a shot. They still have a shot. I'm not saying that was playing into them losing last week, but I'm saying we don't know if this is Aaron Rogers last season. They brought them in here to go to the playoffs and go after the Super Bowl. They're in the spot to make that happen.

You get D.K. Metcalfe back next week when you go into the playoffs. Who would they be playing? So whoever wins this game, who are they playing as the, Five seats. What it was? Oh, yeah, yeah. TBD. Yeah.

I mean, they're gonna be one and done. Right now, right now where it's slotted, they'd be playing the Texans. Ooh. Done. Ooh. Give me the Ravens. Oh. First running back to score four touchdowns for two different teams.

Two different teams. So you was on to some. Yeah, you was on to some. Yeah, you were on to something. I think the Ravens. I like the Ravens. Should we see who Delaney picks was? He took the under.

Okay. I'll go Steelers. I'll go Steelers. And that's got to make you feel better. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Right. Yeah, because if we bet the same, fuck that.

Yeah. I ain't doing it no more. I'm with you. All right, bet the boys parley. I will be taking CMC versus the Seahawks. Derek Henry. Y'all already know what time it is. J.S.N.

Seattle. Wow. Give me Rico Dowdell. Against the Buccaneer. Ooh, I think, I think that's a head right there. They're going to run. They got a lean on him.

They have to. And the Bucks haven't stopped anybody in the last 10 weeks. You know he going to get the ball. Rico getting the ball. I thought he was going to get the ball last week. I know, that was crazy. So now they got to, they got to recognize. I think he was seven yards and one touchdown for 1.2.

He's getting that. He's got. He's getting it. They're going to make sure he get it. Who's the week 18 is the most fun. Oh, no, he's a cheap skate. Oh, my God, he a cheap skate. He a cheap skate.

Is he a bomber type? He will tell them not to give him the ball. Get in there by the goal line, take out recal. Take him out. Put in Chuba? Yep, he will do that. I mean, if he get it and take it to the crib, you can't do nothing about it. In the red zone, though.

He may take him out in the red zone, though. He take him out. That's, that's, that's varsity blues. Yeah. He'd rather not pay you. He'll do it again next year. Hey, did you guys lose? Hey, real quick, did you guys lose any incentives?

Did you have any incentives in your contract? You didn't make or I got a, I will. I had a 35,000 dress-up clause. So if you dress up, you hit your incentive. I had that too. It was a 46-man game day actor. Yeah, yeah, actor. They'd have, let's just say it was like 500K.

They'd split it over the 16 games. You just get paid. But I'm talking like incentive. Like, hey, if you don't give up X amount of sacks, if you get 100 plus tackles, you get 10 touchdowns. Well, see, the Titans would do, you got to be like top five, top 10. and receiving.

Like, I had to hold the receiver, pretty much the, we had to be top 10 and receiving the whole squad, not just me. I had to have, I always got the catches, so I had to have like over 70 catches. Easy. That was easy. How much money was that, though, like $250?

$250. Then the $1,000 was $4.75. And then, Pro Bowl was 50,000. But you get that for making the Pro Bowl. Everybody gets that. No, you get it sent it for your team if you make the Pro Bowl. In your contract.

In your contract. Sometimes, like the Titans may have put that in his contract. In my contract, Pro Bowl. Where if he makes it, he gets an extra 50-K. He does get paid for winning or not winning. So. Oh, really? What the fuck?

Hey, were you on your rookie contract when you were making it? Both. Once you started rolling, they're like, we didn't put that in there. easy money so i didn't go one year and then they put it in simple like if you go because garel came in me was like oh let's not be alternates we should have been i i was literally right next to y'all for that conversation i remember thinking to myself that's so fucking dumb i did because it's like if you have a chance to make a pro bowl as an alternate and usually your first year balling out you don't make it you don't make it because they give it to somebody but the next

year if you have a similar year you'd go again but to me it's like at the end of day like if you're an alternate and a guy drops out and you can go in then it says you're a Did he not go? We didn't go. They didn't go. Brother, my first year, Lance, it was Lance Briggs, DeMarcus Ware, and Brian Arakpo. Yeah.

And Lance Briggs backed out and I, 2009 Pro Bowl. Well, to be fair, you didn't take the alternate? No, I didn't be fair, I didn't take the alternate. I was mad to, Drew's mad. If you look at that year, we both, we, every tight end that went, I have more catches,

more yards. They have more touchdown. This is 2015, right? Yes. Yeah. So you're, you're, that's because we were three and 13. My pride.

Your pride. But you're not sticking it. You could have been a four-time pro-ball. I'm sitting there. It was my second year. And I really- because Gerald was ball. Delaney was ball.

They were our two best players in the team. And they're talking about not going to the Pro Bowl. I'm thinking to my, I'm like not saying a word. I'm thinking, these motherfuckers got to go. Yeah. Like we have a poll board.

Yeah. It's going to be my first one. Yeah. Like all been Gerald's first one too. All the Taylor, all the Hall of Fame nominees you're going to have. Yeah. And it's going to be three-time Pro Bowl Art tested.

It's in four. I know. Because you was mad they didn't pick you first. I know. But then the next year they picked my ass because we made us think about it. Well, no. You had the good year so you're on everybody's radar. You had a great season the next year.

But we also went from 3 and 13 after being 2 and 14. And they went 9 and 7. We had eight guys make the poll before. Yeah, eight guys that next year. Rack was in there. Well, it was U.D. Brett Kern. Drill Casey.

Dr. Dr.L. Casey. DeMarco Murray. DeMarco Murray. Yeah, we had like a little squatter. We had a squad. Yeah, it was nice. To answer your question, no, no incentives.

No, I never had to answer it. Mine was like, hey, you might be able to make the team next year. My, hey, the performance bonus checks though. Oh, I'm sure. Because you guys would have, like, the incentives in your contracts or your performance number, like, you know, at the end of the year, it would be super low. It's also like years in and your contract size. So if your contract size is bigger and you play,

lower, like if you and I both play 30,000 snaps, your number is going to be way higher, unless your contract is. If your contract's, you know, so. making league minimum and he played, let's just say, like, 99. My rookie contract when I got to play, dude, I was fired. I was number one or two on the team in performance bonus. What was your performance bonus? How much was it?

It was over four. Damn. Yeah, that was one of the top right there. And I was like, oh, my first. 99% of the start. My first year, when I only played, I was activated that last game of the season. And I just played special teams. So I had like I don't know five or six plays I had like in the teens

Performance bonus and I was so fired the fuck up I was like yo I got like 15 grand just to go in there for six plays Just they hit a couple of punt sets Yeah what's this performance bonus they're like oh you know guys who don't have the bigger contracts or you're on a rookie deal or minimum Whatever it is like anytime you're on the field you'll get much more of the percentage of the bucket that the NFLPA has set aside from performance That shit is like Yeah when I started like my performance

performance bonus was, I was like, oh, that's when I went and got the truck. The, yeah, paid more than cash. I was like, oh, I'm getting me a truck now. Fuck this Hyundai Sonata. Yeah. Hey, no, Cash used to live for those player bonuses. Yeah. I remember when we would do like a victory formation, I would have like, like, young cats,

like, yeah, let me go in for a rookie. I'm like, why. Oh, yeah. Field goal block? Yeah, that's why. Hey, Clay, you got to, I got to go, you got to get right on this performance. I think to myself, this is insane. You just be out there just in your linebacker's side.

Look out to see the extra point go in. That's why I never. Jog off the field. Be like, boom, performance. Got us. That's why I never went in on victory. I was never in on victory. Watch it.

I always put all the tight ends in. I'm like, I told them like, hey, all the tight ends going on victory. Let them get plays. We didn't do it all a lot, but when we did, they got in. I used to get to, like, when people had have incentives in the contract, I was kind of jealous. I never had one incentive in my contract. Other than the classic, like, OTAs, workout bars.

Yeah, the workout. you get just for showing up yeah but when guys would have like a like we get like 16 17 18 uh weeks and guys would have like I need like this many catches or whatever I'm like man must be so fun and like so much anxiety for that yeah I need to get this because you be thinking about it like but would you want a incentive for like an old lineman I would assume what no incentive would be like hey don't give up it more than three sacks or something like they're just gonna be living in your head because you can argue you can argue you can argue that's coverage sack or like hey this guy touched them first there's a lot of like argumentative stuff yeah

It would be like weight, percentage of snaps, starts. Yeah, starts. That would kind of be like your basic. What are like run game top, if you are the run game was like in the top five, top ten, I would think. I just don't remember there ever being like team stats getting in. Did you ever read it and just know that you had an incentive? I had great agents that would walk me through the whole thing.

Oh, okay. Yeah, we sat there and I was like. See, my agent would be like, hey, they put this in there for catches. They put this in for what you think. And I'm like, catches, let's do seven. And he like, they ain't going to do 70. You've been getting 70 every year. You got to go up a little bit.

I'm like, oh, fuck it 80. You're like, you sure? See, if I was you, I would put a crazy number up there and with a big dollar sign. Yeah, but I got to be, I got to think about how our team was and how we were throwing the ball at the time. And then when AJ came, I started thinking like, okay, AJ may take reps away from me in the passing game. So I moved it down even more because I was coming off the injury too. And I had to send all I had to do was make it to eight games and I couldn't even do that I was gonna get a bonus Because they had an eight game for me because after coming from the end

The broken leg yeah broken leg and I made it to five I was fuck it was right you know I always thought was super sneaky as like guys like Ben Jones who like the last three years I played with him like every camp He would come in at some point and came like just re-signed I know here and he made like an extra a couple million bucks just like under the radar Well because he he was the one of the best centers in the game Let's just be honest. Our team got better when Ben came. Absolutely. Just be honest.

Yeah. And every year a center will like become the highest pay. He'd be like, I don't want to be the highest paid, but I need to be close. Right. He was always like, just out of the top five. Just at the top five. They would do that every year. Because they're like, yo, you better.

Definitely you better. It was like Greg Olson. Your cousin, yeah? Jake? Jake? Yeah, I don't know how much he's making a lot, though. He's making a lot. Yeah.

But kind of staying out of the. sphere of yeah he's probably what five to ten somewhere in there yeah that does a sphere under the radar yeah once you start giving the top three yeah he was he was a top three in 2018 he made a pro bowl right around then no that was his contract here yeah when you like taylor you the number one dog you got to perform at a high level every are they oh you catch a little knee am I good you're sorry catch you game like it's over you got put you down back big dog when you lean the eyes are on your ass it's nice dude it's nice for a while it's flying towards a sound like at least i got to get up here

yeah yeah good show great show great show how are we looking uh are we looking we're almost we almost done we need to keep this going yeah y'all y'all still got to do the reed yeah what's your incentive story yeah i was your incentive story yeah i was just going to let it right No, so my last year, like incentives go to old heads like me and 19 when I was playing for the Rams. It was a sack incentive. So if I got, if I got eight and a half sacks, if I got like three sacks, it was 250, six sacks, it was 500. Eight and a half, it was 750. Damn.

And I finished the season at eight sacks. And I actually had eight and a half. And Aaron Donald reported the sack we shared together. for against, it was like for a safety against the stealer. So they gave it all to him. And I lost 250K. No. Yeah.

Talk to him about that? Nah. But I heard him talk about it like on one of his podcasts where he's like, I came in on Monday. I was like, yo, bro, they took my sack away. And it was like, oh, man, that's messed up. He did you what Klump did to Delaney. Yeah, Klump got me.

I'm in there telling everybody I'm gonna paint him after the show I'm like yeah I'm gonna paint him after the show AD was getting 20 sacks a year I'm like you couldn't hook your boy up I mean he could just give it to you so I lost 250K and then the organization wouldn't give it to me either

yeah that's the Rams though you know Clay went into that office too mad at hell when he said the organization didn't give it either brother you know Clay was in there or at the very least in picture with his wife bitching

once the kids were asleep for weeks on him. She's just thinking, we've talked about this. And you were talked about stressing for it. So we were playing Kyler Murray in week 17 at home. I got a rough in the, it was fourth quarter. I was stressing for that sack to get that money. I got a rough in the passer penalty on the final drive.

I was like, we didn't make the playoffs and I didn't get my money. Do you a playoff bonus other than the one that everyone gets? Yeah, if you were to win, yes. Yeah, it would be like 250 playoffs, 500 for you yeah you had it bro no you dude that is you have to negotiate in your contract oh you okay yeah you get like the regular game check like or extra forget all that but when i'm on the when i'm on my way out you're on the way out it was like hey how can we get you some money yeah yeah

and then so hey after the season i was feeling good i'm like i come back do this again hey clay it's coach mcvay we're gonna have to let you and girly go i was like oh all right bet COVID. He's probably getting over the sack thing, walks into the kitchen. His wife's like, what now? And it's just McVeigh. Do you think it's because the older you get, they try to get you to play a little harder,

so they put this in and say, because I feel like. They're not going to offer you as much money. So they like to appeal to you, like, hey, how can you earn that money back? But they're not, they don't have to pay you. Yeah. If you don't hit it.

And they don't have to pay you. But if not, it's just a little unsettling. Just a little. No, yeah, I kind of was feeling a certain way because in the beginning of my last year against the Browns, I went nuts, got two touchdowns, had like eight catches. And then I'm like, okay, I'm about to hit my stride. And then every week, less play, less play, less play, less. I'm like, damn, I'm getting like 20 snaps a game. What the fuck going on?

You know, and then they told me, well, we just try to get Janoo going. We don't want you to get hurt, you know. I seen. John was going off too. John was going off. Then I wasn't dressing up. I'm like 35,000 gone. Hey, healthy scratch.

Healthy scratch. And then I go tell, I told Arthur like, yo, I'm pissed. I'm in me, not talking. They're asking me questions. I don't say now. I'm just looking. Me, no, he's like, what's wrong, man? They ain't like you to be like this while, you know, in front of everybody.

I said, and y'all costing me money. He's like, what you mean? I said, when I don't suit up, I don't get my money. He's like, why you didn't tell me that? If you would have told me that, I would have never not. told them not to dress you. I'm like, why the fuck I'm not dressing anyway? Like, because we, it's a hard run week.

You know, we don't want you to put a lot of pressure on your legs and stuff like that. And always serve it up or something for you. Yeah, I'm like, man, hell no, suit my ass up. And then I fucked up. Remember, I suited up one game, did two plays and got hurt. This is why we kept you. I was right out of it. What are you doing?

Man, now suit my ass up. You got sued up. Two plays. Gary just sent this in the group chat. Sequin Barclay needs 87 total yards for $250,000. Sam Darnold needs three passing touchdowns for $500,000. And he also needs 150 passing yards for another $500,000. God, damn.

Tony Pollard needs 66 rush yards for $250,000, two TDs for $200,000. Keenan Allen needs six catches for $750,000. Damn. Nine receiving yards for an additional $250,000. And two TDs for another $250,000. So Keenan Allen is looking at a possible. Yeah.

Was it Kenan Allen last year who they went to? Like who got all these bonuses? They went to him in Week 17. Oh, they went. They kept going to. Was that Mike Evans? They did. You went to Mike Evans, but I think it was Keenan Allen too.

It was Keenan Allen. Keenan Allen. Yeah, you have to check that up. It was Keenan Allen as well. Mike Evans got in Week 17 as well. I was fired up for him at home. Yeah, the whole team lost their mind. Because he got his catch and then he got off the field.

I remember that. There's just one catch? Yeah, yeah. He did just like, I'm better. Stefan Diggs. He needs eight catches for 500,000. We already talks about RICO. Thank you.

Dawson Knox, one TD for 100,000, seven receiving yards for 100,000. Thank you so much. Hunter Henry needs five catches for 250. Hey, boys. He's done. Still holding it down. Yeah, what do you think?

Well, let me take a peek. You got Daddy Bear, Bear Down, Caleb with a heart, number 18. That is beautiful, man. That's great work, Heather. You kind of mess with it a little bit, don't you? It looks good, man. I'm not going to remove them until they,
