What is the tally between us? I'm up 2-1. So it's a pivotal game. 3-1 can feel really towering. And like I told you last week, when I start seeing it, last week was a bit of luck for me, but when I start seeing them,

I really start seeing them. I tend not to stop. This one I feel pretty good about. So what do you think happens? Joe burrowed himself in the ground and went and lost the Jacksonville Jaguars. Oh, you're taking the Jags?

I'm not. I don't have the fortitude. I really want to because listen to this. Levisca, Marvin Jones, DJ Shark, a couple dudes on defense. Sounds good on paper.

Cincinnati 26. Jacksonville 21 Great This is awesome I get to root for a Jacksonville implosion which is always fun It just feels safe

So I got Cincinnati 2820 I'm so glad you're on the underside of that Delta there You're close too though Okay 2820 Now the line is like

You're always on the line That's what I need to remember You always pick the number That's on the line Since he wins by six or fewer I win them up two to one. If since he wins by seven or more, you're the big winner.

If Jacksonville wins, neither of us does. That's right. I'm of tape. Trevor Lawrence has thrown seven interceptions. Reed, historically, where are we on that? Lawrence is the fifth QB since the 79 merger to throw multiple interceptions in his first three games.

He is on pace to throw in a 17-game season to throw 39.6 interceptions. 39.6. That would break the record. I think Manning is the best guy that threw a bunch of picks. He had the rookie pick record, right? He was a rookie pick. Jim Zorn is right behind him

in 1974 with 27. In a 16 game season, Lawrence would throw at the current rate is 37.3 interceptions. He has a 5.9 interception rate. Well, Taylor, you hope that the math changes tonight and the people listening this morning are like, well, it's totally

different now. He's only going to throw 31. Hey, I mean, I bet you when he threw two picks at the beginning of the Army All-American game way back in 2018, uh, people were thinking this guy sucks. Hershey Pennsylvania. Hello. Why Hershey? Why not? Because, uh, I don't know, I haven't eating Hershey chocolate in a while. Yeah, but it kind of keeps me up at night. Dark chocolate. does as long as it's the like milk chocolate which i don't like that much i don't like the taste of milk chocolate that much i like dark chocolate do you like almond shortbread cookies sure yeah right answer yeah right answer yep absolutely um elsewhere in pennsylvania yeah philipedelphia this weekend talk to me charity tailgate this sunday all right it's my favorite kind of charity

event at tailgate dude so yeah benefiting the chris long foundation its commitment to serve the most vulnerable populations at home and abroad at home and on broad think about that a little double entendre there make like that uh but it's sunday 1030 we're going to live stream to you know from green light tube which is now the name of our green light youtube thing which is awesome and uh we're going to be talking about every NFL game around the league briefly. So interviews with a couple of guys that are going to be there, Brent Selig, Lagarek,

Garrett Blunt, but like we're going to spread the wealth. It's not going to be all Philly for people who are going to tune in from outside. We're going to talk about all the Sunday games. And my man, Les Bowen is going to help me out there. So, you know, could be some pop-up guys.

You never know. Us football players, tough to get in touch with, tough to, you know, get on the calendar with, you know, guys will just pop up the day before.

So you never know who might be there. Buy a ticket at www. waterboys.org slash events and come support if you're in Philly. But if you're not, you know, tune in. Philly youth especially will be benefited at this event. So hometown all the way. And the chiefs are in town. Chiefs are in town in, you know, less important news. But yeah, like, do you hate Philadelphia? Because you could have just said hello Philadelphia. I don't hate Philadelphia, but I have a process. I went through the process. I landed on Hershey and then I come to the office and I'm told just make it Philadelphia. No, I'm going to be

true to me and true to the process. I went Pennsylvania. So that whole mental gymnastics I had to do to figure out why Hershey was because of the process. Trust the process. Very Philly of you. Yes, but I stayed in the state of Pennsylvania so that you could mention Philly in this charity. You're like you're like stocked into my Malone. Hey, speaking to this charity event, right here, right now. I don't want to be Malone. No, I don't want to be Malone. Never mind. On this podcast, I would like to donate $25 to Waterboys. Thank you so much. My heart is full.

You're welcome. Thank you, sir. Appreciate you. And you at home can too. If you're not going to check the live stream out, just pay it forward. Chris Long Foundation is going to stay working in Philly. We are. That's 50 chickens to your cause.

Yeah. Worthy cause. Have a ball. Thank you. I'll see you back in here Sunday night. I'm sure we'll get out of it. You want to come with me? I want to officially invite you to Philadelphia.

Oh. Here, I'll write it down on a piece of paper. Can somebody write that down on a piece of parchment and deliver it to him via a bird in some medieval fashion? So he feels properly invited, anglophile. Thank you. This will suffice. Thank you for the invitation. And big MLS weekend, actually, in Seaville.

Good. I see that the houses are moving, at least in the MLS world, not in the fantasy world. Nice. Yeah, so. Nice. Hey. But I'll see you right back here Sunday night. I do appreciate the Alley, U.

there, bro. It's important to us, and Philly's important to us still, and making jokes about it on the podcast that it's a little too important in the football sense. But civically, I want to be Connor Barwin, you know? Connor Barwin's Mr. Philly. I want to be like the, maybe one of the vice presidents or something on his staff. I think they like you around there. We're going to stay involved there. Hey, layup line. It is the 23rd anniversary of two legendary hip-hop albums, of Quemini, which is one of my personal, maybe two favorite rap albums of all time. And they both happened within a span of three years by the same group. Actually, you could throw in Southern Playlists at Cadillac music as well, which that's

a three-album run that I talk about in this pod. That's legendary. And Hard Knock Life. They both came out this week in 1998. How cool was it to be 13? or what you were 12 which a lot happens

when 12 and 13 dude 13 at 13 you're a teenager kind of yeah so 12 like full on full on it literally we don't need to get into it but it changes a lot Aquam and I was going to pick like my favorite song on these respective albums

that don't have the album title making a path on the stress way the best way I know how up in the sky east west no class I'm coming now The artist storytelling part two off of Quim and I. I'm going to go money, cash, hoes, as my layup line selection from Hard Knock Life. So fun song, you want to read those lyrics? It's deep.

It's a deep song. Subject matters deep. Yo, yo, J-A-Y, I flow sick, fuck all y'all haters, blow dick. I spits the game for those that... No, we don't need to... No. No. I spits the game for those that throw bricks, money cash hose, money cash chicks.

What? Sex, murder, and mayhem, romance for the street. Only wife of minds is a life of crime, and since life's a bitch and mini-skirts and big chess how can i not flirt with death that is an incredible line too i mean the energy on that song is incredible i mean the lyrics are a little bit problematic maybe in 2021 but hey don't look at me i didn't write the song okay and since life's the bitch for talking about the song cancel somebody else in mini skirts in big chest we don't need to repeat the line it makes I'm just not quite following it.

Life's a bitch, I get. Yeah. But life, yeah. Yeah, like, like, like flirting with death, living life to the fullest. Oh, oh, we're flirting with death. Got it. Bucksome beautiful woman. Hove, man.

Right? Takes you a second there, doesn't it? Also a part-time podcaster here on International Podcast Day, Chris. Oh, that's, I love that we do this. Yes. I love that we do this. Hey, I've got some. I tell everyone who ask, it's,

really hard. The podcast with me? It's a podcast in general. It is a tough job. A lot of people, my kids, like, my kids come, when I come home, they're like, were you working? And I think one day they're going to wake up and be like, they're going to decide to stop using that verb.

Right. They're going to realize what a podcast is and they're going to say, Dad, were you fucking around at work? But in reality. It's work. Yeah. It's work. And the bills get paid this way.

So I am really excited that you recognize that holiday because the other day you did not recognize National Daughters Day. Tuesday, September 28. Hold on a second. National Sun's Day. Yeah. Well, I wish my son's a happy National Suns Day. When we were taping, you didn't mention Whalen or Luke.

So to Whalen and Luke, a belated. That's interesting. Happy National Suns Day. Maybe you were just shell shocked because I totally wish your love. Yeah, Megan, maybe you should listen to that pod. Yeah, I don't listen to a lot of it. You added it in later? No.

No, it was, that was live. He said it live. Fuck it. We did it live. We did it live, dude. You're shell-shocked right now. You fucked me. No, we did not coordinate this. That was a dunk that I came up with right there.

You walked into it, but I didn't think about that before you celebrated a fake-ass holiday. Let me regroup. National Daughters Day, fake-ass holiday, podcast day, noteworthy. Well, it's international, so it carries a bit more weight. Okay, got it. But in the words, in the words of, Scott Van Pelt on this show. I just wish Whelan and Luke

had a better dad. That's all. Drug addicted podcaster. I mean, if Whelan Luke lived in your house, they're probably beating up burglars for the family, aren't they? Well, yeah. So far, none have come to the house. So I'm technically about in a thousand

or zero. Hey, housekeeping. Speaking of, well, first, I want to shout out a couple of ballers of the program. Actually, you can because they're your fans. Boppers, hey, two of my best friends. I wake up with my daughter this morning. Good, that's incredible. You deserve a fucking medal.

Being a dad, flip-on sports center while we're, you know, drinking a bottle. And it's my two guys. It's Randy Scott and it's Fieldgate, so I snap a picture of him. Field looks like he has lipstick on and put it on Twitter and talk to the, talk to the fellas online for everyone to see. But you could tell they got some of the inside jokes. So you might listen to the podcast. Randy's the man because Randy get the little inside jokes that are only inside like me. Yeah.

Randy gets. Yeah, that's good. He's parking his car in the same garage. In the same garage. That's good. Shout out to those guys. Big shout out to those guys. Back to you being a good parent.

I think you have a gambling problem. I think we have crossed into the threshold of you having a gambling problem. Four baseball games at once last night. four baseball games at once, which for one thing obliterates the notion that you're busier than me. Oh, at 10 o'clock at night? Bro, at 10 o'clock at night, I'm still working. Okay. We're on a foundation, too.

We heard about it earlier in the pod. I worked so hard that I was just able to donate to that foundation. Mother trucker. All right? Okay. So. Reed goes to bed at 3 a.m. most nights. Okay.

How many jobs does Reed have? I think Reed's busier than you. Okay. Hey, what's this whole thing in America about being busy? It's not, but you're the one that makes yourself seem like you're just impossibly busy. No, no. That's in your head, all right? Okay.

I work smart. Okay, but we have a gambling problem. You're busy gambling. Yeah. To be fair, it's not you've been, you were, it's the most brilliant idea I've ever heard. Hey, make, here's a hundred bucks a week to gamble with. It'll be content. I turned you out, dude.

I gave you one hit. I can wrap my head around that. I can talk about that on a pod and then boom, full-blown addiction. So yeah, it was four parles. Four parles. So there's really like double-digit bets involved. The Reds and over 7.5 lost. Okay.

The Indians under nine runs lost. The Tampa Bay Rays in under nine. Big winner. Ding, ding, ding. the LA Angels and over 8.5 big winner ding ding ding ding Philly's lost the division I'm not even paying attention to this sport anymore so these were four $10 dollars bets 10 bucks all right yeah and I ended up making like 50 bucks Philly too hit good for you okay you still have a problem

$50 yeah divided by two is 25 yeah yeah and you just made two $25 donations oh damn it ha that's good thank you actually keep gambling keep gambling Good cowboy The Phillies though They threw me out of a moving vehicle On Broad Street And just backed up over me Dude if you know how stupid I feel about that back

Because I really Pushed my poker chips The middle of the table A few units Yeah well I thought we were gonna get some content out of it But it turns out not a lot of time to watch baseball Busy I do want to make light of something Okay really quickly

Sure You peed your pants earlier No no no no no no I peed the toilet And then when I was was done, look, I'm getting older. It's always a little residual

if you're a dude. Sometimes you rush out of the bathroom, you all know what I'm talking about. But this was like a full on peeing incident. I mean, this was like, we got to cut you off earlier. I was like, Ria, can you get me some waters? And I was like, no, no, no, not for making, dude. That's fair. This is my ugly. And part

of it is the pant. Okay? I'm wearing a Nike pant. No shade to Nike. This is my game day pant. Who's played Thursday night? This is my game day pant and uh... fuck up the Nike endorsement for facts right right right it it shows dribble more so than other pant okay now hold on yeah I go into the bathroom for another pee and I walk into see

not only unflushed pee of yours sorry which you might say is responsible water conservation behavior when really it is it is literally serial killer behavior not to flush your pee. You're right about that. You're right about that. Guilty is charged, but that's not what I was going to say. What I was going to say was I forgot because I was rushing here to do the podcast. No excuse. It has done to do with water conservation.

We don't. Never meet your heroes. Yellow mellow here. Second point of two points. It was yellow as hell. You're a bad teammate. I'm dehydrated right now. You're a bad teammate.

Yeah, but we're going to hit this pot out of the park, dude. And then I flush yours. Yeah. Because I'm not peeing on top of your pee. That's weird to me. Yeah, no question. And then I went clear. I'm clear.

I'm a good teammate. Okay, that's fine. But all you're clear is all over your khakis. And you walked into a meeting full of five people earlier. And it was like bad enough that I had to be like, hey, man. What's on your pants? Yeah, you peed a little, huh? Yeah.

Okay. That's ugly. So this week's been, that's been par for the course for you. Well, yeah. Gambling. Help change you guys tire. Put it on the internet. A little funny, you know.

That was a total, like, look at me move. Look at me. changing the tire. It's totally look at me, but it's also I, I interspers some self-deprecation and did look at me. And I almost believe that you actually changed that tire. I did. You really did change that tire. You really can change a tire. I assisted changing that tire. Okay, you're gonna need to stop here for a second. In, in what way? You didn't jack the car. Did. You jacked the car. Jacked the car up. You jacked it up. And then we were having trouble getting the bolts off of the tire with the nail in it. Oh man, you've got me here. And we of the five, we had to break off two of them.

But then finally did get the tire off. You might be a better dad than me. Oh. Yeah. No. Yeah. No. I'm conceding here. Tire change. Fucking kidding me. But then I, yeah, I posted on the internet and, uh, people ripped you. Hey, that squat doesn't look like a tire changing squat and you have nudely arms. You do look like you're making a tire changing sound. Look at your child. Look at your lips. I was talking to people while that was being taken. No, you're definitely making a drill sound. I was not a drill.

You're doing the sound you think changing a tire makes. This is a big publicity sound. This is a shout out to Michael Coleman. It was his car. Oh, well, saving a friend of the program. Yeah. Yeah, you've helped the passenger on this train, man. So you deserve, hey, cheer up, man.

You might have peed your pants. You might have a gambling problem. But you were better head to me and you can change a tire in 2000. That's incredible. Incredible. I would never, you odds on being able to change a tire? Plus. Dr. Kingston, what are you setting those odds at?

Plus 2000. Yeah. It's like the Texans win in the Super Bowl. It's not that difficult. Plus 250. And you'd put my odds at probably plus 800 maybe. Just by having a beard and being tall. But like I can't fucking change a tire.

Tall bearded people change tires. Fuck yeah, they can. Yeah. Yeah. So you'd be like minus one. 150. I know gambling now. I know odds. It's 2021. Even the guys with beards who were tall and 35. Chances are they might have

missed the generation that everybody could just You're calling AAA. Yeah, I'm calling fucking AAA. You also run out of gas lots. I ran out of gas. Three to four tons of year. Gold membership. Yeah. Ran out of gas a couple months ago. Sports World Ugly. You ready? Oh, yeah.

NBA Vax drama. Oh. Drama synonymous with the NBA, but now we're on to the vaccine. Oh, if it's NBA drama I am like I've I've quit that like I quit betting the Seahawks media days were were this week and that's what happened that's why all we found out about all the guys who were like fuck it let me just raw dog everybody got up onto the dais and they talked about their personal decision being personal but you know what though

honestly I do want to acknowledge that you know like hey Bradley Beale who I really like St. Louis guy all that stuff at least tried to talk it out now it's bad reason It's really bad reasoning. I'm about to tell you why. He thought that it's like a slam dunk that, you know, like you can still get COVID. He was looking at the press room like, see, you guys probably didn't have anything for that. And I'm like, no, they do. Like, you know, they do because these people are not being hospitalized or dying from COVID, which of course is the one of the primary self-serving concerns of taking the vaccine. Indeed. But there's more. You can help other people. Yeah. You can contract it, Bradley, Jonathan Isaac, Andrew Wiggins, Kyrie. Irving others. You can contract it, give it to somebody else. That person can die. They're not perhaps a superstar athlete. I liken it to the seatbelt thing, right? Okay. People put on seatbelts all the time. That doesn't mean that there aren't going to be horrific car accidents. The seatbelt is to give you a better opportunity to walk away from that horrific car accident. But wait, there's more. This seatbelt actually helps other people. And if enough people put on the

seatbelt in mass, car accidents altogether stop. But if you don't put on the seatbelt, guess what else happens? New kinds of car accidents pop up. So it's like imagine a seatbelt, which I'm sure you put on in your car, imagine you could do that, but like it's way more effective. No doubt. But did you hear about the guy that had seatbelt burn on his shoulder one time? And if you're looking out for number one.

Yeah. And if you're looking out for your team, well, now they are very real consequences. put in place in part by the NBA and in part by local city ordinances at the moment Kyrie Irvin can't play home games he can't enter whatever the hell it's called Barclays

that's an incredible story line that's gonna so you gotta think that you figure out a way around that because he's a he's a superstar but I can totally see Kyrie saying you know what I'm out I won't play more power to you you know but like hey there is a thing going on and you know it would help if in my opinion i just

disagree i'm not the the foremost authority i just read what the foremost authority said well and maybe somebody talked to carl anthony towns who has lost seven family members to covid including his mother i mean hopefully people like that can can get some of these other guys it's um i'm just i'm just people just continue the NFL for a lot of good reasons and players can be like sometimes a punching bag for people, but golly, if it isn't the NBA saying, look over here, we're also, you know, we're making news in not such a great way, is that like, it seems like in those locker rooms, not a big deal to. And there are some scenarios where you really can't get the vaccine, medical reasons.

No question. And that is a personal private deal. No question. But when you do talk it out, no question. As eloquent as you can sound, sometimes the logic and the reasoning only get halfway there you're missing the whole other part of it of of banding together trying to suppress the pandemic yes and and and everybody's screaming so nobody hears people talking and that's why i like bradley be at least talking and i thought he was like calm about it although i thought he thought he was

like dunking on all these reporters with the still get covid huh case and point i'm like knock knock who's there breakthrough cases that's who anyways uh yeah i'm over the NBA drama too and is kind of a bummer because a lot of people are watching those players and saying, oh, I wonder if I should get vaxed you now. Well, Bradley Beale's not getting vax. That's the only thing about being a, but if you think that's the right thing, then, you know, more power to you. You got your bog cap ready.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm tired of, I said yeah. Yeah. Fuck, yeah. Totally do. And, yeah, I'm sick and tired of Stanford, Steve Cochlin, bullying you. That's right. With that good looking waterfall mullet.

Yeah. and bullying me with my sideburns, which look perfectly fine. They do look better today, by the way. It's not, look. Let's go, let's just talk to Stanford, Steve. Okay. After years of fine print contracts and getting ripped off by big wireless providers, if we've learned anything, it's that there's always a catch.

So when I first heard that Mint Mobile offers premium wireless service starting at just 15 bucks a month, I thought, what's a catch? But after speaking with them and using their service, it all made sense. There isn't a catch, okay? Mint Mobile's secret sauce is that they're the first company is sell wireless service online only.

By cutting out retail stores, there's no crazy overhead costs that get passed down to you in the form of mystery fees. Instead, Mint just passes on sweet savings direct to you. Look, guys, Mint Mobile is a really good deal. You get premium wireless

for just 15 bucks a month. You can keep your same phone number along with your existing contact so there's no headaches involved. I love that. The best part is Mint Mobile has a seven-day money-back guarantee. To get your new wireless plan

for just $15 a month and get the plan shipped to your door free, go to mintmobile.com slash greenlight. That's mintmobile.com slash greenlight. Cut your wireless bills to $15 a month at mintmobile.com slash greenlight. Steve. Hi, gentlemen.

What's up, Big Dog? Hi, Big Dog. How are you? you. Good. How are you? You really pissed my hairdresser off yesterday, texting about my mullet. I saw Dana yesterday. Biggest, our hairdressers. Yes.

No, it took offense. They took offense to Steve's comments. Two things. If you were that proud of your mullet, you wouldn't wear a hat with the Manning cast and show everybody what's going on. And I don't know what's going on making it under his hat right now. Oh, well, we've had a tough week, Steve. We just decided to shave our heads and solid.

solidarity with you. Here we are. Now we all have the same haircuts. Going with the Cochland today. Yeah. You like that? It's like a pre-seating here. Like that? I mean, I wouldn't mess for you guys with that look. That's a that's better. You look like a renegade, man.

Are you happy now, Steve? No sideburns down here. Is that good for you? I think I see him. Yeah, I think I see him. We'll keep them on in solidarity for these. Yeah. How'd these get here, read via Amazon? party starts here, a local. Oh, you stopped at the party starts here on the way to the sex shop.

Right, Dr. Husson. They did. They have to. They're right on the same route. You want your party hats? You go there. You want your blow up to all you just write.

Buy local. By local. Steve, how are you, dude? I'm good. I'm good. Was getting ready for this. We got a big weekend. There's actually a big college football game in Maryland.

Are you coming up? for it. Okay. I avoid all nuclear waste sites. I don't want to end up in like a Chernobyl situation because that place is a dump. We all know that. It's a fucking. Well, yeah, I mean, but we're, we have big 10 football here, you know, ACC is probably on outside looking at the playoffs. I wanted to see if you guys wanted to come up and see some big 10 football. Yeah, I just don't. I'd like to top five team in a country coming to town. I'd like to do it without getting tetanus, you know, so maybe I'll just stay in Charlottesville to watch on direct TV. They got a big jumbo, Ron. It's coming out for the game tonight.

Have you been to college park, I guess, yet in your time in the DMV? I did. Taking this ball cap off, it hurts my dad. Last time I went, I got a speeding ticket 39 and 25 on that main drag. It's the worst place in the world. It really is. Well, that's perfect. That's a perfect way to start because we've got five undefeated matchups.

One of them, you know, like I was going to ask you because you're my gambling dad, Steve. minus 3 at Maryland on a Friday night. They're number five in the country. My heart is it my heart or my brain that's just going to make me hammer Iowa because you know I hate Maryland, but they actually look pretty good

and I kind of don't get it. Is it almost fishy? Oh, it's very fishy. When you look at it, it started at 4, and that's what makes me even think more about it. Now it's down to 3. You know, we know what Iowa brings to the table as far as the defense comes.

That thing's going to travel. they just haven't been good on offense, Chris. Like, I know Iowa's not going to wow you on the offensive end, but like if the defense didn't get these turnovers, they'd be in a lot of trouble. Like Colorado State lost to Vanderbilt, and Iowa was in a tussle with them last week, at home. It's a real contrast to styles.

Iowa's got the best center in the country. I can't wait to watch him, Linderberg, or Linderbaum, I'm sorry. He's phenomenal. And Maryland comes out you with all the flash. Like they got they got five star, four, five star guys at receiver. So how does that offense with Leah Tong of Iola, who's been awesome? He's completing 76% of his passes. How does that go against Iowa?

You know, it's a real interesting thing. Maryland's done a good job recruiting. They have. They've got better players on defense. So, you know, what's going to give? Turnovers is going to be huge. Iowa's lived off them to start this year. And you mentioned the undefeated matchups.

I think a huge thing this week to look out for. And there's three teams in the top 12 that are all playing their first true road game in like two years. Oh, wow. Like teams have, I've seen a lot of teams go on the road for the first time this year and get swallowed up. So, you know, with the changeover rosters and the quarterbacks, you know, having the youth they have. And if they did play last year, they didn't play road games, you know. So it's a whole different thing now when I think about Arkansas, Ole Miss. in Oklahoma this week.

So I might change my lock to Georgia because I'm looking at that and people, I don't know if you're going to put your balls in the wheelbarrow there. They're laying like 18 and a half, but I think I'm going to, you know, Randy Marsh this.

I think I'm going to take Georgia. I mean, what does this say about them? You got a second ranked team and an eighth ranked team. Last time Arkansas won a top ten matchup on the road was 1964. Oh, let's go dogs. Wow. 18 and a half.

Yeah, 18 and a half, bro. 18 and a half. I will say, you know, Arkansas, has been really impressive with their big games. They smoke Texas and last week they got A&M. And they're different, man. They're like a different deal here. When they just play three down

guys, those guys are really good. But they got, I mean, with these super seniors now, I think they have like three on their defense. They got a first rounder at safety and Catalan. I really want to see George's offense. If they're the best team in the country, they cover this game and they score 30. So I'm interested to see that. I would probably lean taking the 18 and a half, though, knowing what I'm

getting with that Arkansas defense. All right. So we've talked about two of them. Which game here of these five undefeated matchups is going to be the game that in like January, we're going to look back at and say, okay, that game mattered the most in that weekend? Probably Alabama, Ole Miss. I mean, last week we talked about it, guys, you were bummed up the slate and I brought up Clemson because I wanted to see him go on the road in a real true road game. And we saw what happened. And now I look at the offensive problems they have. Oklahoma's got the same deal.

They're a mess off on the offensive line. And now they go to Manhattan and play Kansas State, who's beat them two years in a row, I want to say as a 20-point dog both times. And Kansas State's not flashy at all. They lost their quarterback. It's going to be a dog fight. But they'll muck it up a lot against Oklahoma,

which is what Oklahoma doesn't want to do. You know that. But I mean, all lives are going to be on Tuscaloosa with Lane, you know, going to face Nick trying to be that first assistant to beat him. He's been he's done plenty of time on the bird, uh, tweeting, tweeting out stuff. Uh, so. Will Bonn and him got a little, a little spicy beef.

Yeah. Yeah. A little spicy beef. You know, it's, it's a, Sujuck platter. Hey, you ever had Sujuck? It's, uh, it's a spicy beef sausage. It's delicious. It's true. It's good.

Where do you get that? Uh, Afghan kebab here in Charles. Salton, sorry. Yeah. You come down here. Hey, our first meal. will be Sujug It's spelled

S-U-C-U-K but it's pronounced sujuck Yeah spicy beef like Wilbon and Lane Kiffin Ah okay

So how about Sabin Uh He's looking at me Well hold on Can I can I issue a rebuttal Is he's not arguing anything

Are the bear cats In the Irish Is that not a more January Important matchup Because the winner of that Might have An inside track

That's what I'm saying And like, you know, because Bam and Ole Miss, I'm like, if it goes according to plan, we're going to look back in January and say, oh, Ole Miss, they were never real anyways. And yeah, I think the Sincere and Notre Dame game, you've got one like team that's basically grandfathered in every fucking year. And then the other team, I'm kind of wondering how high Cincinnati can climb. With Cincinnati, they still need a lot of dominoes to fall in front of them. Right. You know, they need the big 12 out.

They probably need the pack 12 out. But yeah, I mean, they're not going anywhere if they don't want. win this game. But it's, it's a, I mean, anytime Notre Dame could cry being an underdog, it's, it's an automatic for me to take out Notre Dame as an underdog at home. They've won the game outright the last five times in this scenario with Brian Kelly. They're off that win against Wisconsin, plenty of, plenty of storylines with coaching staffs and Kelly being a former coach of Cincinnati and Notre Dame's defense coordinator, Marcus Freeman, with Cincinnati's defensive coordinator the last couple of years. So I lean Notre Dame there because, I mean,

I love Desmond Ritter. I thought about him preseason for the Heisman. But if there's anybody that knows every one of his moves, it's Marcus Freeman who coached against him every day in practice the last two years. So I give Notre Dame an edge there. And Cincinnati went and won in Indiana. That's the other game they had circled because it's out of conference, you know, against a power five. They just weren't as impressive in that game to me. And they didn't look comfortable. all on the road and I worry that the Notre Dame will get some juice from that home crowd and win the game. And you think what when it comes to Alabama and Ole Miss is going to be more of the same like business as usual? Is this year different because it feels a little different?

Oh, it's different. But like, you know, are you going to give the points? You're going to take the points. You're going to take the under, which is nuts. Or you take the over. What's it at on your site? 79.5. When that total is 79 and a half, Alabama and Ole Miss. I feel like this game should be 85 or something, dude. I like the over. I mean, I mean, do you think people will be afraid to? No. To pound that number? Okay.

I don't think so at all. Everybody just talking about Lane, you know, this is the rematch you wanted, seeing how, you know, they, they set every, or I should say, Alabama set every record in the worst way last year when they played on the defensive side. I think it was yards. I think they went for 700 yards. Yeah. Just ugly.

So I got to think Alabama's got to have a couple, you know, another, you know, a couple bullets in the gun defensively, you know, because when I watch out. Alabama against Florida back. Their linebackers really, I mean, and it's a deal all over the place, right? You know, lineman downfield on the RPO's and the strain it puts on your inside backers. And they were not good against Florida. And you know Lane's going to go right after that deal now.

So what do you do? Can you still play too high, you know, and help your backers out in the run game? But it's getting, I mean, Chris, you watch all these games too. I mean, as a defensive guy, it's got to be brutal. Like I go back, go back and watch the Chargers game when in touchdown to Mike Williams. It's a fade on the four-yard line. The whole offensive line is in the end zone. Yep.

Yep. It's a run play. What are the rules? And he just throws it. But I appreciate them missing that one because I was on the right side for once on that game. My only other question is what do you think it's harder to do, be an assistant and come back and play Belichick or be an assistant and come back and play Sabin? Because on the field, it feels like right now Belichick doesn't have the Brady security blanket. so it's easier, but it's probably a tougher 50-yard-line conversation.

Yeah, I would say Saban, because you're probably taking a job that's not as good as Alabama. If you're going in the NFL, you know, you got some pros on your team. Maybe you can figure something out. But it's it's an interesting deal. I always wonder what goes on those 50-yard-line conversations. Oh, my God, dude. It's so awkward. It's so awkward because you're like somebody has a microphone.

Do they not have a microphone? We laughed about the Peyton Manning Mike McCarthy meeting at Midfield at the Hall of Fame game on Hard Knocks. You good? And then a month later, yeah, you good? Yeah, you good. I'm good.

Good, I'm good. Good, I'm good. Good, good, you good. Take care. Take much care. How's the weather? Yeah, and then family good. And they're like, good stuff.

And then they play music into the commercial. But like a month later, Manning's on the Megacast screaming at Mike McCarthy to call the time out. Hey, give us one college lock. I'll take Notre Dame. You know, as a as a home dog in that scenario, I like the way, I like the way it sets up for them. That's really provocative.

Give me one. The Wisconsin Badgers. I like that one too. We're fucking parking our cars as a parking garage against Michigan minus one and a half. Okay. You want a couple of stats to go along to back it up making? Yes. Okay.

Wisconsin gave up nine yards rushing to Notre Dame last week. nine. They're giving up 23 yards rushing per game on the season. And they have two losses. And when you look at Michigan, obviously they're undefeated. I think they're the only power five team that doesn't have a turnover. Wisconsin has nine. I figure like that's going to even out. And Michigan in a game where they finally played a conference opponent last week, and it was Rutgers, Michigan had two first downs in the second half, two. And that's not what I want when I go on the road to play Wisconsin in a team that's had our number lately. So a lot to prove for Michigan still. So I like Wisconsin. Fuck me. That was actually, I have it written down

right here. I didn't realize on the screen here. We're keeping track of my record. I thought this was like a joke thing. Our records are really bad. You know, like we'll share them next week. Let's give it one more week. I'm going to not let people peek behind the curtain right now, but it's not good. Actually, mine are better than yours. We can keep those up. It's all have a great week. We're all bad, dude. We're all bad. Do you want to say what yours are? You've taken a week off. Three and three in the NFL and one in college.

I'm 500 everywhere. And me and Steve are below 500. I'll just put it that way. It's been a rough couple weeks here, but not in the bank account. I just need to bet my plays. Yeah, it's only on this podcast. You guys are going elsewhere.

And we get another week in the NFL this year. Yeah, we do. There's a lot of time to donate more money. Plenty of time. I like Wisconsin too, but fuck it. I guess then I'll take. But fuck it indeed, Chris. Hey, hey, Steve.

Hey, Steve, do you think it'd be fool-ish or smart to bet the under in the Georgia game? Because you're worried a little bit about them covering by way of offensive production. I'm thinking they just strangle Arkansas and keep it low-scoring. I like that on the. Okay, I'll take the under in the Georgia game. There we go. There we go. Teamwork.

It makes the dream work. I assisted him with that Wisconsin pick. We can move on here. but Alabama 47, Ole Miss 31. Sure, I like that over too. That's an under. That's an under. 79 and a half.

Once I heard 47, I just do know. Fuck yeah, dude. That's, wow, you got to have balls, but I'm going to do it. Pro ball here. Patriots bucks. I'm like, oh, they're playing? Yeah, exactly. I feel the same way as you.

Hello. Is there anything people are missing about this game? Because I feel like we hear all the same storylines. I did like the Darlington interview. I thought that was really, that gave me chills. a little bit here in Tom saying I know the wind he does but what are people missing as they just talk about the cliches I don't think mac Jones has been that bad I know we had three picks last week um one of them uh you know on a tip ball the others on it on john new smith tipping the ball

up that goes for pick six and the other ones you know down 14 trying to put a ball in there um no one's taking the Patriots in this game no I think I see is like 92% of the money that that's Books love that when they see that. Now it's going to go to seven and a half. I love the Patriots defense. It's just how, you know, can they create against Tom? Are they going to get them on the ground? And, you know, field position is Mac Jones going to have enough to go up and down the field?

They don't have any game breakers. And I think you saw, you know, you need those against the Buccaneers defense as we did with the Rams last week. So if I got to take the game, I'm going to take the home dog. For sure, just because no one else is. I'm worried because I think the total is 43 or so, and I just did it in my head, and I think it's like 2717. So that scares me a little bit. I had them, you know, I had New England and Tampa under as one of my locks. I'm going to think on that.

I'm with you, man. It's going to be interesting. And, you know, the whole craft calling Bill an asshole, which, of course, I don't think was, like, malicious. I'm sure it was like, hey, I mean, stating the obvious. The guy's like, his brand is being an asshole. And I think it's awesome. I think Robert probably loves it at the end of the day. I would love to see New England win this game.

It would be awesome. Oh, Robert, Mr. Yeah. You're right. You're right, especially because I haven't talked to him in years. It's a scene for you. Who do you think is the one player

that Bill's yelling about in a meeting room? Like, you know, he wants to take one person away every game. Who do you think it is? Oh, that's a good one. For the bucks. I don't think it's grunk. I mean, Gronk is just a situation thing. Probably Mike Evans.

Talk about Gronk and Mike Evans. I think it's Godwin in the slot. A.B.'s back. You know what? This would be one of the most interesting. There are documentaries, right? And then there would be this documentary. Just like be in the meeting room this week,

listening to Bill playing chess with his old friend. And like these things that you know, if you know New England, their idiosyncrasies. Like, how are they filling those boxes? Who are the players they're obsessing about this week? And what is he saying about Tom's weaknesses? Tom's secrets.

You know what I mean? Like, what is Tom really fear? What does he hate? I'd love to know. Do you think, you know, you hear stories about Belichick, with guys going back into the facility for a workout or whatever at night, and Belichick's like on the treadmill, looking ahead to next week's opponent, just watching him?

Do you think he's doing that this week? I don't know if he's looking ahead this week, man. I think you might have told Ernie to like Moonlight and help him out a little bit. Yeah. I can't wait until it's over. Like the Monday night game is way better. Yeah. Monday night's going to be awesome.

Yeah. Well, I mean, storyline game. This is a first take game, right? Big for podcasts. We've got our first take and podcast games. All right, we've got division leaders,

Steve. You've got Raiders, Bengals, Titans, bills, Rams, Packers, Panthers,

Cowboys. Who are two of them that you think, or one or two of them? because I have two in mind that are least likely to make the playoffs. Oh, probably Cincinnati. Yeah, that's number one, probably. Nothing is true.

I'll tell you who I would take a shot at to win their division and they're in last place right now and it's not the Chiefs, the Vikings. Uh-oh. See, when we had this conversation earlier and we got to the Packers, I was checkmarking things off and I did like one of those squiggly checks

because I'm like, I mean, it's not that far-fetched. And I fucking have the under on the Vikings total wins. But if they keep kind of putting it together, Kirk can get hot, dude. He was awesome last week. And beating the Niners is not enough to tell me that like Green Bay is out of the woods. No.

Big one this week, Cleveland and Minnesota. Yeah, Cleveland, Minnesota. Yeah. Also, the Raiders were mentioned in the back room talking about this. I think the Raiders still make the playoffs. I'm jumping out of the gym for them. The Panthers.

I don't think they're going to make the playoffs. Really? I could be wrong And I'd love to be wrong Because I love Sam Darnold I love the head coach there I love I love a couple of those defensive pieces That we had to name a couple weeks ago

And we knew more than we thought Burns Thompson Chin The fucking Derek Brown kid I mean there's like four or five guys there Oh yeah But I still don't think they make the playoffs

I just there's There's a little depth in the NFC That I worry about there Okay How about you? Is it just the Bengals Broncos are up there, right? Because they're on thefeated.

Oh, yeah. And they are leading. Yeah, I would take Denver and Cincinnati, not to make the playoffs. Okay. Give me your three NFL picks this week. Kansas City, because I think Philly stinks. Couldn't give it out. Why?

I just can't give it out. He'll be in Philly this weekend. He's going to be there. Oh, you got the big tailgate? Is that this weekend? Yeah, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't do that this week.

Because I don't want to be sitting there in the fourth quarter. Yeah. Yeah. You can, Hey, your invites right now. It's Thursday. I want it formal.

I need it in print. Oh, he doesn't do formal anything, especially invitations. Hey, you should come out to Montana one year. Okay. Yeah.

Oh, you got that one too. Oh, what do you need like a wedding invite to visit me? You know, Hey, yeah, I could put on the calendar

so I can say, hey, look what I got. I'm not going to be home this week. Calendar. Free yourselves. Free yourselves. I just don't want to be up there sitting up there with LaGarrett watching the game

and Kansas City like gets a big lead. I'm like, oh, at least, you know, I wouldn't go to lock. You know, like, fuck, I want to root for the birds, man, the whole way. Go ahead, Steve. Who's next? I like the Vikings at home as a home dog against the Browns. Who's the best team in the AFC to you? I'm on an island.

I think it's Cleveland. I think it's the Bills. Okay. Because their pass rush got better. and I think everybody's sleeping on the bills I think everybody I'm not saying they're sleeping on the bills they don't know they're great I think last year is such a confirmation bias

that when they get to the big stage they're going to lose because they had a poor game playing against a really good team at that time I think Josh Allen's been up there playing shitty teams and games people aren't watching and I think it's going to get real I think the bills are the best team in the FC right now

they got to run the ball I mean you see it too many times you know where we're that flaw hurts you down the road when these games matter so you said you said Cleveland but you're going to put them at two and two through four exactly I am I'm taking I am tough schedule yeah the browns are are one of my locks so yeah just throw that one in there browns head to head yeah you're at Kansas City you get the Vikings and whom I'm going to take Russ this is it for

the Seahawks with me I'm going to take him as a dog at San Francisco um I think they have to win this game or else everything is going to start swirling around there, which we have not seen since he's taken over there. I'm five days clean, not betting the Seahawks, and I hope that goes for an eternity. Yeah, they're tough. I mean, if you could, if you give Garoppolo time, that secondary is shown a lot of holes, but I'm not still sold on Garoppolo. I'll take Seattle plus the points.

And the corners, you know. in San Francisco. So I'll take the lions covering Campbell. I'm all over it. I think this might even be the week they get a win. I just, listen, I like the guy. I'll admit it's a soft spot for me. It's a blind spot.

I like the fucking guy. And I thought people just been shitting on him, so I'm pulling for him. Because he's really competent. Maybe he's not competent. He hasn't proven that yet, but what he has proven is that at least the players buy him. Because you don't go out there.

And we'll see week 10 through 16, if you're 1 in 15 how he handles controversy. But so far, this team has played over its head in a couple games. So I like the Lions covering it, getting two and a half. They won't need it. They might win the whole damn thing. I also like the Browns, as I mentioned. And I'm flirting with the Tampa, New England under,

or the Denver, Baltimore under. Fuck it. I'll take the bills laying a million points. Hmm. Yep. What's the other guy got? You're up. Okay, fine.

You still got the ball cap on. I knew your head is pounding. I, uh, okay. We're gonna go. Definitely hanging out. Yeah, they are, dude. No, they're not. No, they're swooping.

They're curling, which is cool. Whalen's tail. Wayland's tail, but on the side of your head. All right. Now he looks like the old guy at the Y going for a swim. He does. The, uh, boardwalk empire swimmer.

I don't know what the, the lines are now. Okay. America's team, the New York Giants, plus eight in New Orleans. Evan Ingram liable to fumble a ball into the end zone, recovered by another giant for a score.

Love that one. Washington football team, a point and a half favorite in Atlanta. Back and forth on that one, too. Could the Falcons screw around and get to 500? I think Washington's a lot better. I just do want to say this, though. This is a get-well game for that D-Line.

I've been all over it, that they've been overrated, but that's nothing against them. It has more to do with the people. people saying absurd shit than a good, a good defensive line. This is a week somebody gets hot. Sacks come in bunches. You need the momentum.

I think this is the week. They just play a dog shit team and get going. Logan Thomas, seven for 92, Steve and two touchdowns. Damn. Cool. I would love that. And the Indianapolis Colts plus about a point in a half in Miami. You got to win.

Why not? Or forget about it. Why not? Yep. Colts. Bangarang. Forget about it. Last thing, Soldier Field's going away. Well, the writing is on the wall.

They're fucking buying up land. The household median income is like twice what it is in Chicago in Arlington. So is Soldier Field going away, Steve? And like, what the fuck? Why would they do that? I don't know. I had that question for you. Do you have a blow-up picture of that ball going up and you looking at it on the field?

I don't, but maybe I should have that. You should get that. I should. That would be, I mean. I know you like your plants in the background, but that would be incredible. Like a black and white of that, that'd be sick. I just couldn't see football without Soldier Field, man.

And I'm super bummed to read that news, even if it makes a lot of financial sense. But didn't know if you had a Soldier Field memory or anything. A couple 86 playoffs when they just destroyed Phil Sims and the Giants. I mean, think about that. Chicago in the winter on an old pasture. turf. That had to be brutal. Yeah. And the guy

jumping out of the stands to catch the extra point on Monday night football. Remember that? That was in the field. And what year is that? Ooh, I'm going to guess 95. 95. Yeah, that turf had to hurt back then. Yeah,

I'm just bummed about it, Steve. Not to end on a downer and bury Soldier Field like we gave it an obituary, but they just spent about a billion dollars on it. Yeah, in the early 2000s, they spent like a fuck ton of money to make it look like a spaceship was fucking Soldier Field. And it's right there. It's super cool.

It's right there. It's in a super cool area. And like, why would you ever move it? If Soldier Field moves, it's just the sanctity of American stadiums is gone, dude. We've just, we've crossed the Rubicon. I hear you. I'm totally agreement. Sorry.

Sorry to rant. Steve, be well. Love you guys. Wait. Oh! Oh! He said love you. Love you, Steve.

Love is love you. I feel it. I feel it. It took a couple of weeks. I didn't think Mackey was going to show up every week, so I had to prove a point, Chris. I'm here. He's here. He's contractually obligated. Big way. See you, buddy. Hey, we got a really exciting event coming up in Philly on October 3rd. I'll be hosting a Legends tailgate party that you don't want to miss. There'll be food, drinks, and music.

Legerrett Blunt is going to be there. Brent Selleck's going to be there. I'm going to be there. It's from 9 to noon on Sunday, October 3rd at the Navy Yard in Philadelphia. The best part is that all proceeds go to Philly Youth and towards ending water insecurity. Get tickets today at waterboys.org slash events. Hey, just had this thought. You are an anglophile because you're a pean. Hey, you're American.

You're American when you go into the bathroom. You're American when you come out of the bathroom. You're in the bathroom. What are you when you're in the bathroom? Could be Swiss. You could be from Greece. You know, you could be from Ireland, the UK, you're European. European.

Yeah. Soldier Field thing does bum me out. Sorry to get a little like Debbie Downer there at the end of a wildly entertaining segment with Steve. In a wildly entertaining segment to come with James Coe. Yeah, I know. Let's just bum out for a minute. Let's bum out for a minute. Sad about Soldier Field.

as you should be. I didn't even play there. Kyle's probably sad about it. I think this probably means like unquestionably that they're going to make a move or they said it overtly that they're at the very least considering it, right?

Arlington Heights. Yeah, Arlington Heights. That doesn't even say, that sounds so stupid, dude, they're going to show the Arlington Heights skyline. What is that? Part of the shots outside the new stupid field turf stadium. It's probably going to have half a roof like all these new stadiums.

Part of the appeal of Soldier Field is that it's right there in downtown Chicago too. Right on the water. Yeah. It's beautiful. It's awesome. It's beautiful. It is gorgeous. Whatever they're raising to build another new stadium, you might as well just light that money on fire. Because fuck that. Yeah, light the money on fire, man. Stop doing this.

Stop with the new stadiums, bro. Before it's all said and done, it's going to be impossible to look at, dude. I would much rather watch Bucks, Rams at that Coliseum. I know, but what about the sweets? Just say it out loud. You don't care about fans watching at home anymore.

All those steps in the Coliseum are uneven too. It's fun. Yeah, and you don't care about the people at the stadiums anymore because you're pricing them all out. Like, so it sucks, man. Some of my favorite stadiums. What are we most worried about? I mean, I'm not worried about Landover because I think they're going to

bulldoze that thing anytime. now and I'd be really excited if that would happen. It'd probably be one of those situations where you, like one of those Chernobyl situations. I talked, there we are in Maryland again, but I was talking about College Park, you might want to put a hazmat suit on, you know, demo in that thing. Diarrhea everywhere. Going through the list in the NFL, there are very few that are still standing. Worth saving.

Yeah, yeah, exactly. I mean, you got Lambo. Yep. I don't think that's going anywhere, but it's not near and dear to my heart, but I don't I don't think it's going anywhere. Arrowhead, I guess. Love Arrowhead. God, that's a beautiful retro stadium.

Mile High? Is Mile High even old enough to be? Mile High has the only thing I think about, I don't think Mile High is old enough to be really, I'm not worried about mild mile high. I'm worried about that big horse. Brooke Brown in 1999, opened in 2001. Yeah, dude.

That's like the, the pukiest era of stadium. Knock it over. Just knock it over? Yeah. Yeah, I would worry about in another sport, you know, Dodger Stadium. I hope that doesn't go anywhere. Correct. I hope Dodger Stadium doesn't go anywhere.

Fenway Park, you know, Wrigley Field. I especially would like Wrigley Field to stick around. If they ever bury Wrigley Field, like just cancel sports. Yeah, you can't do it. Wrigley Field at the corner of. Yeah, whatever the phone. Everybody knows. Yeah, dude.

The Ivy, the whole thing, beer, drunk people. Yankee Stadium. Seven total seats and the whole thing. Yeah, you're right there. where else? Hey, how about Old Trafford, St. James Park, Enfield. This is the European thing. Wembley.

Yeah, European again. Yeah. European again. We should get to James Co. Hey, Cameron Indoor, for the record, it's awesome. I hate to say it, but it's awesome. Sweaty. Very sweaty. Don't let that thing go down. They want a little shoebox there. Well, we own Duke, so. Yeah. I'm a man enough to say I like Cameron Indoor.

Pellestra. Shout out. Twitter, we got our shit together, okay? We got a real handle reflective of the name of the podcast. Guys, we did it. Applawed. And now go follow us at Greenlight. Twitter is at Greenlight. We also have a new YouTube channel name as well, Greenlight Tube.

Hope you guys like that. James Coe is in the building. What's up, James? What's cracking, boys. Dude, we're having a great week. It's only getting better. It's only getting better. Big Fantasy Week in Studio J.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It's a bit of a Belichick Brady thing. Yeah. The cucks and the houses. Highest scoring team versus defending champs. They're playing promos. We're going to tell you that legacy doesn't mean shit.

I'm the bucks. Yeah, no. You're the Pats. It's the only thing I have to hang my hat on. We'll get to that in a minute. James, I want to kick this thing off asking you, who'd you rather have rostered the rest of the season? I'm going to go quarterback

running back and then wide receiver starting with QBs, Dak or Russell, Russ, as he likes to be called. I think Dat, I think he's got some better weapons. And right now he's just playing in an extremely high level, man. I've just been so impressed by how well he's played after coming back from injury, man.

It's like you would have, you watch Dak played. You would have no idea that this man missed football last year. And the other thing, too, it's like, I love Russell Wilson. And listen, I love Pete Carroll too. But like this whole let Russ cook thing, like it's never taken off, guys. Like let's stop trying to make this a thing. It's never going to take off.

Pete is Pete, man. And I get he's got like young guy energy. But at the end of the day, he's still an old man. He's still doing old man things. You know what I'm saying? So like, no, man, give me Dak rest of season. You think everybody assumes Pete Carroll reads the internet. internet and I just don't think he cares about a hashtag so well he reads some corners of

internet I guess so yeah you're right Jordan Peterson and such how about running backs and I'm with you by the way on deck he's unbelievable he might be the most likable player in the NFL everyone up there percent yeah because think about he's doing this despite being a cowboy it's really unbelievable when you think about it I should hate the guy everybody like Drill on America's team, bro. Come on now. You know how it is. They're just like NFCs for two years and, you know, the America's team thing.

Running back, Saquan Barclay, Sequan Barclay or Najee Harris. You know what's really interesting is that like I know Sequant's, it looks like he's starting to ramp up back into form. And I get it. Like he still has some of that juice left in him. But you know what? And I know that Pittsburgh's offense looks like an absolute dumpster fire. but in PPR, I'll still take Naji Harris. I mean, the dude got targeted 19 times in week three.

Ben's arm is absolute jello right now, and he's looking for checkdowns. And give me Naji Harris in all these little checkdown contests. And I think Harris is going to have more value in PPR. Ben does. He looks a little old. I'll say that at this point. He might not be able to throw it farther than Naji can run far. You're right.

Exactly. That's why he's getting so many targets. Wide receiver, DeAndre Hopkins or D.K. MacKaff. This one's a tough one for me. I don't know how injured Newk Hopkins is right now. Is that what's limiting his targets? Is that why they're not trusting targets thrown his way? I'm not 100% sure.

But I'll say this. I think DK's got higher upside. And it's only because of the emergence of guys like Christian Kirk and Rondale Moore in Arizona. Now all of a sudden, there's a healthy competition for, targets in the desert that I don't think Newk has had before. And, you know, since Will Fuller, really, in Houston, you know what I mean? So I think there's an extra competition for targets. There's more volume in Arizona.

You know they're going to throw more. But I just wonder, you know, with D.K. and Tyler Lockett's kind of sort of banged up right now, too. I just wonder if, if D.K. just soaks up all of the targets there in Seattle. Who are the most disappointing fantasy players thus far? this year and who can turn it around? I think George Kittle, Alan Robinson, and Jonathan Taylor are three guys that

I certainly highlighted as being big time disappointments. I think Jonathan Taylor can turn it around. I've been saying this about J.T. Man. I love the athleticism. You look at that size speed combination at the running back position. It's rare. It's rare you ever see something

like that. And he's playing behind with a coach and an in an offense that want to run the ball. do they man frank rike man they would just they'd love to run the ball 60 times man they really would um so i think he's got some opportunity to turn around now last year man like he absolutely feasted on bad running defenses and didn't look great against good run defenses um and i think that may be coming into play uh this year as well i mean they're over and is decimated sorry

interrupt you James Yeah. Their old line is bad right now. I mean, I've been saying this in relation to the Carson Wend's conversation. It's like the old line is not much better than the one he had in Philly.

It's still Carson's fault in Indy right now. He's got to make the throws. But it's bad and the run game's affected too. The big man's on the bench. I currently have a trade offer out. I'm offering up, this is probably bad for him to do this because I'm showing my cards.

I'm offering Zeke and OBJ for Jonathan Taylor and Cooper Cup. Now, that'd be good for me. Yeah. But it doesn't really matter if Andre Loco is not going to even respond after 36 freaking hours. 36 hours. I mean, just say no. I mean, be respectful.

To be fair, I wouldn't have responded either. I don't know where the trade button is on the damn application. So I'm going to let James finish. What were you saying, James? You're done. Why are you tripping after 36 hours? 36 hours. It's bad.

I mean, I got a big game this week. It's a day and a half. Like, dude, it's going to take a day for the process. When you just put it like that, James, it's not much time, a day and a half. You see how he made it seem like an eternity? I have a game that starts literally Thursday night.

Well, it's not Andre Loco's fucking problem, evidently. Evidently. There's not some collective bargaining agreement. Hey, but he mentioned a name. That's interesting. Kittle. Are we going after Kittle in leagues? Are we,

Kelsey, Waller, and waiver. wire. You know, it's interesting. There's like a little movement right now to get Tray Lance in in San Francisco. And I just want to play Devils out to get a little bit. Like I get a Jimmy G looks skittish as hell in the pocket whenever there's pressure. Um, now that being said, he also missed a lot of football, man. Like he's coming back. I wonder if he's rounding into form as well. I just want to give him a little extra time. And plus it's like like, like first of all, America loves the backup quarterback. And I understand. You know what I'm saying? But Tray Lance played

one game last year at North Dakota State. Like, we don't know what we have. Not to mention, it's happening right now in Chicago. Now, I'll be it with a much worse situation. Okay, I'm not comparing Matt and Aggie to Shanahan, and I'm not comparing the rosters, but it happens all over the league. It happens every year.

And if you really like a player, why do you want him ruined? Right. That's what I would ask fan on Twitter. if you like Tray Lance maybe just be patient 100% agree and I just I think Jimmy G might be trying to find his legs literally

and figuratively as well and that's why I think there is some buy opportunity for George Kittle like obviously he has disappointed you invested in George Kittle thinking this dude is

basically like Kelsey he's an absolute destroyer after he gets the ball he just not seeing as many targets as we're anticipating right now. So yeah, I think he's a little bit of a by-low. The Alan Robinson one guy's like, I don't know, man. Like I want to pick your brains. Like, I don't know what's due. Like, it's an absolute abject disaster in Chicago right now. And I don't know if, I don't know if they

could turn it around. It's bad. You know, I, I lived it as a viewer for years. I mean, at least one that watched the Jumbotron while Kyle was playing and it was just- Kyle? Kyle. It was excruciating watching the way they lost games. So, I mean, the way they built the roster, there just doesn't seem to be a direction, and I hate that for a player like Alan Robinson. Who's the guy sitting on benches,

not waiver wires, who deserves a long, hard look at the starting lineup this week, place at the table? Yeah, I think Mike is sickie's starting to really come around. Hell yeah. Love that guy. See him jump over a bench last week? Put him on the team.

Yeah. Start him by that. You know, he's third on the team in Targets and Routes Run. Last year, this is a guy in terms of volume. The volume was there. He was top 12 in targets among tight ends. This year, he's tied for fourth. And he's also top three in air yards right now among tight ends. So for me, the volume is absolutely there. Last year, he was fourth among tight ends in receiving yards. This year, again, he's top 10. And top 10, I don't think actually quantifies or captures the amount of volume he's getting as well. So

I got the quarterback situation there is absolutely a big time question mark, but he's seeing volume. And for me, I'll chase the volume. We did this last year with Logan Thomas, where we're saying, okay, this is a talented player. He's getting volume. It's not translating yet, but the keyword is yet. And I think right now this is a guy that, again, very talented player can he can catch the hell out of the ball, man, doesn't have great quarterback played, but he is seeing volume and I'm going to chase that every single time. I think Mike Kisicki is worth a start. And I know he's rostered almost everywhere, but absolutely worth the start, I think, depending on what your tight-in situation is.

Guys, a freak show. Like, athletically, total freak show. All right, game of the week in the C-Vegas Fantasy Football League, Chris Long's Liberty Cuckolds against my The Houses. The Cucks have scored 508 points this year. Bucks Pats.

The houses have scored 381 points. So I'm like... Oh, how the turntables? Remember last year when you were like, he didn't even know the fucking rules? Now, for the record, I am two and one. Okay. I mean, that's cool. So we're like the Panthers, dude.

So we don't need to spend. You're the Panthers, you're the Panthers, dude. A whole lot of time on this, James. No, we should spend a little time on it. And a, Moester, Judy, we have to give that disclaimer. We're not, we're not sending our, you know, drafted players out there due to injury. I guess you're a route for injury sort of guy. No, I'm not.

I just, I thought about that stuff when I drafted. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Monster. Did you say Monster? Mostert. Well, that guy, however you want to say it, has an injury history. You should take that an account.

You should read the websites. How do you see it, James? Do I have a shot? First of all, look at the confident-ass look on Chris Long's face. Look at that shit. This is not something you want to get used to. Right now, I feel like I'm in the catbird seat. Oh, man, it's great.

Hey, by the way, when I looked at it, did I, did I see this right? Are they projecting the cucks? I'm sorry, the houses to win this matchup? No, no, no. 18 point dogs at the moment. Yeah, like, who was it, the Razor Hogs. When you look at Chris's team, he, he did well, man. Like he invested in Jamar Chase, took in Debo, you know, he said, oh,

Brandon, I just getting the hype. Let me just go swoop in and get Debo real quick. Let me go get Lockett, who's just been outperforming ADP. Why was he there for me? Why was Tyler Lockett there for me when I drafted him? I think I drafted him like the third or the fourth round. I don't know. Hope that hips okay.

You probably dropped him in the fourth. What do you mean by hope that hip's okay this week? I want to pull deck for both spots. Look at who's rooting for injuries now, man. Come on, bro. Look at you. You guys hear what I said? Let's just bury the, you know, bury the story because it's not much of one.

It's not really much of a matchup. You know, the houses, what's the prospects for the houses? Well, I think when you look at the back end, like the top end is looking fine, you know? But like guys like Marquis Brown, L. Beckham, Eli Mitchell in there. It's like, oh, brother. Like that's, that's, that's pain. In a 10 team league. In a 10 team league. In a 10 team league. Oh, man.

Yeah. Okay. Lamar, Zeke, Eccler, Justin Jefferson. Can I ask you a question? Were you on drugs when you drafted this team? Yeah. They were stripping me out about Derek Henry, man. Like, they're using them in the past game, Chris. Like this is a dude that average 1.3 targets the previous five years, right? Like 1.3 targets a game. The dude's averaging.

damn near five targets game now. They're completely renovated like how they're using him in this offense and if you start getting Derek Henry out in space, boy. Oh my goodness. I love it, man. I love the way to utilize him there in Tennessee, man.

This is like my high school graduation or something. I feel good about this. Yeah, your last graduation if I recall correctly. Yeah. Oh, chance. I, uh, wow. I've got an injured AJ Brown on my bench for you

All that school and couldn't Couldn't help you draft Low integrity folks All right James We got a little draft for you We're going to do this every week Two players for the three of us This week is quarterbacks

So look at little cheat sheets We're going to do a snake draft Hold on I want to pull up the ESPN fantasy app And just draft that way Go for it Who's the first pick? Am I the first pick? Who's first pick?

Chris is going to announce. Chris is, and that's me. Who's picking second? James. Okay. That would be you third. And fourth. Snake draft.

Oh, snake draft. Yeah, many snakes. Let's do it. And just for the record. Garden snake. This is only for week four. Week four only will tabulate the points scored by these players and we'll have a big winner.

We'll keep track of standings. I'm in the app. I'm ready to draft. Stakes are bragging rights. That's it. We have too many high stakes on the show. I love it. This is like a little mini DFS tournament.

Yeah, next week we'll do running backs. The week after we'll do receivers. It's going to get nuts in here, James. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Okay, first pick. Chris Long. I guess I'll go.

I guess I'm going to have to take Josh Allen playing the Houston Texans, too. Okay. Hope he plays four quarters in that one, big boy. Please. Oh, that's okay. What do you mean? You hope his hips okay or something? No, if they're up 40, he's going to sit down.

Okay. All right, Chris has Josh Allen, James. I'll take Patrick Mahomes. Shit. That's a fine pick. That's a fine pick to go Patty Mahomes. He needs to watch out for Cox this weekend. Fletcher Cox, dude.

Okay, with the third and fourth picks. Somebody back to look. That was a very awkward pause after you said Cox, for sure. I was looking at it. All right, go ahead. Third and fourth picks. Kyleor Murray and Justin Herbert the the cuck starting quarterback I just cucked you I'm going Kyler and Justin Herbert and then James is on the clock at five I'm so happy

that was a great move dude I'm so you went I'm sorry you went Kyler and who Justin Herbert Herbie Kyler and Justin Herbert bro I'll go Tom Brady I think he's just gonna absolutely pour it on in New England it's a good pick fuck me running fuck me running and I guess I'll take Ryan Tannahill. Wow. That's a great pick. Off menu. I'm just fading bad defenses, dude.

Yeah. Okay. I love it. I love it. You got Josh Allen, Ryan Tannahill. James has Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady.

Was that a bad pick? Justin Herbert. We will see. We'll see. I don't know about the game script against the Jets. Going off menu. Oh, man. Thank you, James.

Thanks, James. Hey, it's been great, guys. Hey, I'll see you out there on the field. A little digital field. Good luck to your fake players. Your players are like space jam fake. I don't know what that means. Take care.

Y'all take care.
