Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a brand new year. Oh, boy. Pretty darn good Sunday of football. We got Stanford Steve to recap it. Chris and Dr. Fax opened up with Antonio Brown's eventful day in New York. Then we'll rock with Steve. Chris and Steve will focus on Cincinnati, Kansas City,

the offensive output in that game, Indianapolis and Las Vegas and Carson's struggles, Tennessee and Miami. And you want to hear a little college football? Well, that's good because they'll talk a little college football for you. after Steve Chris and Fax focus on Philadelphia, Washington, Green Bay, Minnesota, Seattle, Detroit, Atlanta, Buffalo, Gus Johnson

and Akeeb-Talib, broadcast pairing, and Beatles conspiracy theories. Enjoy it, folks, forever and always. Hey, hey, hey. That's how the officials should start every call from here on out.

I don't know how that, what was that guy doing? We're talking about the referee in the Tennessee Miami game. It sounded like he couldn't get the attention of a class that he was substitute teaching. My theory is maybe they have like different radio like frequencies and maybe the other guys were like still talking and he was like, hey, hey, hey, hey, like shut up in my ear. Or I don't know. Yeah, well, I think they should keep it the way it is right now.

Hey, hey, hey, hey is the way I want. Every call started. You could hear people cheering. But did you get the crowd? The crowd kind of called. They loved it. They were all sitting there in the rain. they were like, oh, hey, what's up?

Like, yeah, we're up three scores. We're going to have home field advantage. We don't even have the best player on our team. We haven't had them for six weeks. I forget the award we were going to give out for the drunkest stadium. But that's the one today. The Nissan Stadium is the drunkest stadium. Did they still play?

They still, I think it was Folsom Prison Blues that they play at that stadium relentlessly. I remember when we played there and got our asses. kicked by CJ 2K and Vince Young back in the day. I got tired of Johnny Cash. It's the only time of my life I've ever gotten tired of Johnny Cash was playing that stadium, but people were, they were eating that shit up today. We'll talk about that game.

Hello! I fucked it up. Landover Maryland. Hello! I don't know who the mayor is there, but they need to shut that shit down. They need to mushroom cloud that stadium. I mean, we almost lost Jalen Hertz.

I mean, he was inches away walking out of the field day. If you haven't seen the video after the Eagles big win to slide in the playoffs, ultimately, Jalen Hertz is walking through the tunnel down to the bowels of that stadium. There is no bowels of that stadium. The whole thing is the bowels, the sphincter of that stadium. And Eagles fans are naturally hanging over the side like any fans at an NFL stadium at the end of the game. and they damn near met their demise. I mean, they fell probably eight feet right in front of the franchise quarterback.

Yeah, those fans, they did. They missed out an opportunity to get paid a lot of money because not one of those fans stayed on the ground. They were so, they should have stayed. They were so engaged to shake Jalen Hertz's hand. They fumbled the back. And little did they know if they would have stayed down, ask for a stretcher, yo, the whole entire Eagles team.

would have signed the football for them. Just do a soccer thing. Yeah, the Eagles team would have signed the football. I would have been like, yeah, just like completely still. But do you know how much money you can probably get for a malfunction in an NFL stadium? Yeah, a lot of money, dude. And then it's not even your rivals?

Yeah. Your rival stadium. A lot of times you don't feel until the next day, the whiplash. 1,000%. Well, those fans were quick top on their feet and dab up Jalen Hertz who like literally, I don't think people realize how big a deal this could have been. When I was in St. Louis, Reggie Bush

ran, it was like a screen or something, a perimeter play at the Edward Jones Dome, which was rough around the edges, caught on fire in pregame once. Oh my goodness. Yeah, dude. Like, I was standing there. I forget who I was talking to. Maybe it was

Ramone Foster. We were playing the Steelers. Piratech. Yeah, the pyro-technics hurt the whole field up. We had to go back inside. Like, people were breathing in rubber pellets. Scary stuff. Yeah, scary stuff. But one time Reggie Bush ran off the field

and Reggie Bush ran onto the concrete that butted up against the stands, which there should be no concrete butting up against the stands. And I think he tore his ACL. Yikes. Tours ACL sued the fuck out of St. Louis, sued the fuck out of the Edward Jones Dome. That's what these folks should do.

This is the Lake Lanier of stadiums, dude. You know what Lake Lanier is? it's the lake in Georgia where people just are dropping like flies. They just filled a town up and some holler with water and made it a lake and people get their foot caught on like

rusty old automobiles where they're swimming and shit like every time people are like just don't swim in that lake just don't go to this game. There's diarrhea coming out of the side of the stadium. We saw that earlier this year. There's sex acts going on in the stands. We've seen that before in Landover. Not

to mention the area is just shitty. It's Maryland. And then on top of it, the stadium could fall apart at any moment. No, it's falling apart. And just to clarify, the Rams did have to pay $12.5 million to Reggie Bush as a settlement in that case. Yeah, well, imagine what they might have to pay these Eagles fans. Yeah, like triple that. I could just imagine.

Reggie's got it. These guys don't have it, dude. And you know what, they better call Saul. If Saul was watching that game, He probably was trying to get the names of every single one of those people who fell to get due justice for them. Some guy on a billboard in Philly is tracking those motherfuckers. Oh, 1,000. They had a guy in St. Louis and some of you listeners in St. Louis might remember this guy.

The guy with the eyepatch, he was legendary. I mean, like, this guy with an eyepatch would go get your fucking money. I don't remember his name, but he was the man and they had the best ads. anyways yeah here's the only thing i'd be worried about jalen hurts being a great fan friendly dude dapping it up hugging it up with these these guys i mean this this omacron is it's moving around like shit through a pipe at landa in landover oh man that at fedex field that would be very but hey if that happened that's another maybe settlement that they well we'll talk about that in a second

We'll talk. They'll have to settle. The franchise could literally sue. Yeah. If he, yeah. If he ended up in a compromised position with those fans, just being a good guy. And one thing led to the next, then I think that's grounds for suing the Washington football team.

First in division lawsuit. Well, let's just be happy. Let's just be happy that that whole thing didn't fall on top of jailer hurts. That's it. We're having a different discussion. That's it. Hey, 2022 is here. Layup line today is.

Count it. Coming out hard. Happy New Year. Hey, hey, happy New Year to you too. We're coming out hard. That's the title track on the album. Coming out hard. And we're coming out hard.

I tell you, man, it's ugly what I'm doing in the WinBed app. I wish I could say the same. They got to blur it out what I'm doing in the Wind Bed app. I can't lie. I ended off the year very good with a big facts parlay. and since then they haven't got their money back but do you include the lions today they're chipping in your parley you know I did

god damn dude so did I and the worst Houston also no Houston I mean what was the line that game it doesn't matter you bet a money line I always bet money line like hey best playing around I won't give it out right now let's go into the Raiders Raiders, big win.

We'll talk about that with Stanford Stephen a little bit. Can't believe where they are right now, considering everything that's been going on. I know their flights are fun. I mean, I know their flights are a lot of fun. That Rich Passaccia seems like he goes back in the back with the players and drinks crown, dude. Like there are some coaches who are really cool

and like can pull off, walk into the back of the plane after a game and kind of lean on the, you know, lean on the chairs, how we doing guys? You know, they smell the, the crown apple or whatever it is getting passed around he's taking shots with them he's taking shots with them when i had kishan on and he said he called him the italian stallion i was like okay this guy this guy parties i think for sure and and to be in a position that they're in and to get a win

like that the way they did when if you're in you you control your own destiny it's unbelievable and that's just the circumstance the way that game came down to the wire and now if they want to get in they'll probably play in another one like that but that's a fun thing thing like you never feel so close to the team is when you get on a plane and you know what's ahead of you and you know like from here on out it's winter go home i mean that's a fun feeling i didn't get to experience it for a very long time but i was like oh it's pretty cool late in my career and um i don't know it's it's cool like you're flying back to Vegas just about the and you're not going to have to leave and you just say hey we play a one game season it's a division

rival and we want to get back at them. I hope they don't because I have the Chargers overwin total. And by the way, the Eagles are in. Thank you Packers. Thank you Packers for delivering. We sunk the ship. Kirk Cousins, Plexiglass, had a

hole in it. And my man, Sean Mannion, who I played with in 2015, didn't forget him like Garrett Gilbert. I don't know. I still don't know why I forgot Garrett Gilbert. If you're out there, I'm sorry. Not that you give a fuck.

But Sean Mannion's cool guy, but I had to fade him. And I didn't hedge or anything. I just hammered the Packers tonight. And everybody wins because the Eagles are in. Now the Eagles play next week against the Cowboys. And we're going to talk about resting starters, not resting starters.

There's a bunch of different ways you can do this. But the Eagles, if they win, if they beat the Cowboys, so I'm sure some people are like, looks possible after the way the Cowboys played this week. they would jump a spot. But if I'm the Eagles, I don't want to win this game because if I'm the Eagles, I'm going to play the Bucks.

And the Bucks are hurting. And by the way, just to stay on this game for a moment, Heineke looked like Brett Farr, the first half, defense stepped up, second half, big time, no points. Three plus guys on the defense with four plus pressures, three guys with four plus pressures, rather. Fletcher, Josh Swet who had a sack and a half,

and I think Javon Hargrave as well, who I apologize for three shows ago. I think I called him Malik Jackson because there were two signings, Interior, D-Lyman, for the Eagles, and those turned out to be too totally. Although Javon Hargrave is probably the, not Javon Hargrave, Malik Willis is probably the reason I'm not playing football anymore.

So thank you both. Now, if I'm them, and shout out to Gannon and Siriani, Siriani more wins than anybody that got a new job this year. I mean, a guy that has totally reinvented the way he does things. Also, kudos to Eagles fans for literally willingness to happen. I mean, y'all run the ball, run the ball, run the ball. A lot of fan bases don't have that kind of pull, but you actually affected the way that Siri Honey called caves.

And I know he probably would have come to that conclusion on his own, but my man is a really good coach. I mean, think about how, remember that press conference where he was, he couldn't quite command the press room. Well, evidently he commands the room pretty well in the building because guys have respected him from day one. Gannon, who, you know, at times this year after that Raiders game, it was, it was ugly.

People, you know, people were, were upset with him. It seemed like guys on the team were upset with him, but he, he, both these coaches are adaptive, man, and they seem to have the respect to these players. And so, kudos to them for coming around. If I'm the Eagles, I want to play the Bucks. You might beat the Bucks. I'm not saying they're going to beat the Bucks,

but the Bucs aren't winning the Super Bowl. You don't. Okay, I'm going to be the guy that everybody, yeah, I'm going to be the guy. I'm going to be the guy. Don't. I'm going to be the guy. Don't poke the bear.

What's the bear going to do? Go win? I'll hedge this take. I'll bet the Bucks small to win the Super Bowl. I hedge this take. It's not Tom's fault, but they're not winning. No, he's a winner. And I think right now,

side bet it. I think he honestly, in his gut, he loves this situation because this puts him in the underdog situation. And usually everyone's just, oh, Tom Brady has this. They're going to be good. They're going to be that. And just like you're doing right now, I think everyone's jumping on that bandwagon and they're forgetting that Tom Brady is Tom Brady.

And he still has gronk and he still has Mike Evans. And there's going to be some third string or some practice square guy that before the end of the year is going to be super famous because he's going to find that person to make this all work out. No, you know what? And if anybody could do it is Tom, and I'm not saying this is Tom's fault,

but with the injuries they've had, I've told you how important Godwin was for Net now. Antonio Brown, I mean, we haven't even gotten to that yet. Worst plane rides going to Antonio Brown. fucking commercial out of JFK. Oh my God. And then you know, trying to find a commercial first class flight last minute and there's an incoming storm.

So God forbid. There's an incoming storm? Yeah. He's stuck at JFK? Imagine that. Imagine. No, him and that Uber driver just hanging out. But no, I mean, like, that was fucking insane, dude.

And I'm, listen, with all this stuff, we have to be cognizant of people's mental health. don't know what's going on with A, B, because that's not normal behavior. I think a lot of times, like, we just call people crazy when they do things that are abnormal. They're not societally acceptable. But this is just, like, wild to take your shirt off and walk out of the game. You know what the craziest shit about this was? He didn't even, he cut through the end zone, bro.

He didn't even walk around the field. He just cut through the end zone. If you flipped to the game, you would have been like, hey, there's a streaker on the field. I mean, it was wild. The guy was, the guy was, I mean, it was surreal. It looked like one of those things. When you see a picture of him taken with a cell phone, like from the stands, it's one of those like, holy shit viral moments. Like out of a movie, that stuff doesn't happen in real life.

Mike Evans was like, dude, no. Oh, he was trying to save him. Mike, dude, no. And then there was a moment where I could tell that Mike was just like, all right, motherfucker, go ahead. I'm not saying he called him a motherfucker, but, yeah. Like, because he knew the, like, for people. who don't understand what Mike Evans was trying to do. Like, if Antonio Brown had just walked off with his pads on,

there's a lot of PR stuff that you can do with that and say, hey, he was hurt. He had to do this or that. But, hey, Antonio Brown was very upset at something in that moment. They say he's dinged. Like, there was something wrong with him physically. And, you know, Arians wanted to go in and he refused to go in. he said his ankle was hurting or something.

But listen, like, a lot of people are going to be like, hear him out, because they've been doing this thing with AB for like five fucking iterations of this. And I'm all about people getting the help they need to get. But I also think some people can just be, like, some people can just be kind of out there. Yeah. And, you know, like Ryan Clark said X, Y, Z about him. People have called him crazy. They've called him a hater, all this stuff.

After a while, the pattern of behavior is just like, dude, what are you doing bro? Like I want Antonio Brown to be well. No, yeah. But I also can't tell where it stops being about, you know, wellness and just kind of who you are. You know what I mean? And that's the, that's the tough part. But the biggest, I think the biggest, the biggest, the biggest loser in all this is Tom Brady.

Tom Brady, that's the point. Tom Brady put his neck out for him. And, and I love Tom Brady for the fact that right now in this situation, him of all people, he could come out there and say how disappointed or whatever. He, you can tell he's genuinely a friend. Yeah. With Antonio and he's worried about his well-being because like we're talking about,

those things like when you see people act out like that in a position that they're in, you, you almost have to know, hey, there's something else going on. Yeah, no question. No question. Something else going on.

No question. But you're also like the same people, and I'm not saying this about Tom. I'm just saying anybody that's like, hey, we want to do what's best for Antonio. None of this is best for Antonio. No. The Raiders weren't the best thing for Antonio. Like none of this stuff. No, maybe maybe maybe. Maybe he's the best thing for him like maybe the best thing for him is to get away from football. Is maybe he's exactly. Whatever it is that he needs help with. Maybe he's just kind of a jerk. Like fuck. I don't know. Dude like you got people out here talking about CT. You know how I feel about that shit. All of a sudden, you're all doctors. All of a sudden, all you simple motherfuckers are all doctors. You take

a fucking cross section of all your friends and all your family members in your social circle. They're all just as fucked up as football players, but none of them have CT. It's CT with us. Everybody has CT. Hey, they cut open 100 brains and 99 of them had CT, but only

one guy has ever taken his shirt off and walked off the field. But we know that CT. That's how it manifests. We just never seen it before. So stop sounding so fucking stupid and take into account that it could be

a whole host of things, including being an asshole. I don't know how hard this is. Stop diagnosing people when you haven't seen the inside of their brains. Anyways, I think it could be mental health. I think it could be his personality. I think there's a lot we don't know, but the best thing for Antonio Brown is not playing football right now. And the best thing for a football team is not him playing football.

He might be on a team in a week. Yeah, he might be. And he might have just said, fuck it. Like some people like if it is something where he didn't want to go in because of his body Maybe he was just at the threshold where he was just like you know what I'm done with all this right But nobody but I hear you yeah yeah no but I agree that the way he did it is 1,000% unacceptable because at the end of the day it's a team sport and when you do something like that It's all it is is me me me and if that's your last like your last go go out at the end of the day

realistically he's a Hall of Fame player if you stack up all his stats but to think about to think about that's his last that's his last image to anyone about him you're not even going to think about all the things he did on the field well see I think you got to vote players in based on what they're done in the field but it's also like you pointed out the last thing you do when you talk about your legacy if this is the last snap or the last picture we saw of AB it's bizarre and I think he'll have of fame you never know trouble right or wrong we we never know what they're really what they're really looking for because it's something else we could talk about later but steve smith not getting first vote in yeah that was fucked yeah um hey by the way in this game i also want to give an oa

award out to uh brus aryans who has evidently a ruptured achilles and he's coaching through it I said earlier I've never seen a hockey coach do that never not once some guy sent me a picture of a coach coached after he got hit with a puck it's a rubber

ball it weighs three ounces I'm not impressed Bruce Ariens has a ruptured Achilles he beat the jets today okay on a ruptured Achilles no Leonard Fournette

no Godwin no AB and by the way on the topic of hockey, I'll give out the Beville Conway this week to the Winter Classic. St. Louis Blues. I could give this to a lot, like Ole Miss, Baylor looked beautiful.

I love a blue team against the green team. You know, I love that, like a true blue team against the true green team. I also loved Utah's helmets. I love their shoulder stripe, everything about that uniform, but the numbers. Gorgeous,

Rose Bowl, the whole thing. But I got to give it to the Winter Classic. And the blues were in it. and people were sending me videos of the blues getting off the bus in a bunch of short sleeves and shorts and all that shit like I was supposed to be impressed. Well, number one, you're not going to get me here because the blues are actually the only tough team in hockey.

Number two, I just watched Sunday night football. The real feel was minus 10. Saw a bunch of motherfuckers without sleeves. Nobody was making a big deal about it. We didn't get cute with it. Not impressed, even though it's the blues. Those are my dudes. but um hollow man's got to be joe judge or a b but yeah no i don't think i hollow man wants to be

invisible a ab dropped a single after after all that there's a there's a song he dropped marketing you got yeah he's your guy you got to get ready hey he's in the back of the cab talking about his Netflix special oh didn't even know that was a thing probably not anymore got it you got to think about what you're going to do next with it. Yeah. I can tell we got more players here who are going to be free agents next year, all right, who are in my office every day, begging to come back. I know that.

Okay, I know that. Players that we coached last year that still call me twice a week talking about, you know, how much they wish they were still here even though they're getting paid more somewhere else. Okay. Joe Judge. Joe Judge, man. I'm going to talk to Steve about that in a little bit, I think.

But, I mean, my man gets up on the podium and says people are calling him. It's not a good move. I think I have Joe Judge's number. You do? from where he might have been talking about me really you got his number i'm posing as one of his old players trying to get back in okay he just doesn't know he doesn't know it um how many times you think he's going to get asked what players was he's talking about from now and to the end of a lot and he'll get mad at everybody for asking but like this is the way things

work you opened up a can of worms by you know like hey a couple of the guys that left this year and the free agency cycle some of them are interior lines like you know it's just He didn't say that, but there's only so many people it could be. And if we believe him, then you're kind of throwing somebody under the bus. What, what, how many reporters you think have done the investigation and they already have all the possible? Oh, Bill Barnwell has a whole threat, I guess. Oh, really? Yeah, whole threat.

So go check that one out. And don't get mad at me, Joe. Man, it pains me. And this is the thing about head coaches, man. It brings out a different side of people. Like, they get put in these positions or they put them. in these positions where they do things out of character. And I didn't think that was a great, I didn't think it was a great representation. Just stop lying. I don't know. I'm not calling him a liar,

but what I am saying, it was unwise. It was unwise. Hey, a couple good games coming up next week. New Orleans, Atlanta, hate week, all right? Like tomorrow night even, Browns playing spoiler. So even the teams that don't have a chance to get in, they can make week 18 fun. I'm looking forward of that week. But first we'll go backwards with Stanford Steve. We'll recap the action from today, AFC, NFC, NFC. And stick around. I got two things for these guys behind the machines here. All right, I've got Sunday Stanford Steve here. And we've got a lot to catch up on, buddy. Yeah. How is everything? It's 2022. It's a new year. I haven't talked to you all year. How was New Year's Eve for you?

Very good. Very good. I had some good picks. And I worked on my birthday, New Year's Day. So everything great. Oh my God, I missed your birthday on New Year's Day, bro. I'm such an asshole. I stopped celebrating those a long time ago. Well, good. I'm glad we were in the same. You should too. I don't know. I'm not really big on birthday. So that's really good. What is your birthday? March 28th. Oh, people should know that. 1985. Yeah. My co-host knows everybody's birthday. I really don't give a shit. But you, I would, I would wish you a happy birthday. Next year, I'll do it January 1st. Okay. Set my calendar right now. Yeah. I'm typing.

All right. So college football, man. The main story that kind of came out of that, that Ole Miss game was Matt Corral. I mean, that's what everybody was kind of like, you know, finishing the weekend talking about. And I wonder what you think because I think it's so easy to think four players on either side of it. You know, now people are going to use this to tell players

not to play you're a sucker if you play this sort of thing. And the other way is the Herb Street way, which I know, you know, he's your guy. I like Kirk a lot, but Kirk thinks the players these days are not as hungry as before, and it's tough to fix. I was wondering where you land on seeing that injury and what the future holds. Here's what I'll say, Chris, with the opting out, you know, and I go back to being a Stanford guy and McCaffrey being the first guy to really do it. Yeah.

And when it first happened, I'm like, what? like I can't process that what these guys are at have at stake it's it's a different world it's different one that I played I'm fine admitting that I hate it but I get it yeah that's that's all I could say I can't stand it because I'm being jealous and when it comes to a guy like at my college I want to see him one more time in the uniform but I totally understand it it's it's those guys have worked whatever they wanted um and however long to get to this point So if they think that's going to help them, I got no issue with it. It's just now with the Ohio State guys, I think it took on a new level where I think people are having a tough time with it because it's the Rose Bowl.

And they said no to the Rose Bowl. And people know and have certain feelings for the Rose Bowl. And then, of course, it's the greatest game of the season like yesterday. So that gets blown out of proportion. So I totally understand it. I just, it's, it's a tough deal for college football fans to deal with right now because it's something that doesn't look like it's going to stop. But I think people are scared.

Yeah, it's funny because at some schools, you're going to see like the birth of new stars, like guys are going to have opportunities to step up. Like that wide receiver room is deep. It's like a movie theater in there. I mean, like it's just, hey, your studs are out. People don't want to play. Fine. like somebody's been waiting to get these touches for a while.

Not every school is going to be like that. But I was thinking this, watching the Rose Bowl, they get that big fucking stealth bomber that flies over it. I've heard that costs like a half a million dollars. You can't just take the stealth bomber money and give it to like four quarterbacks that would make the bowl series a lot more, you know, provocative to people. Because that's what it's going to have to end up being.

You're going to have to compensate people to play in these bowl games. At some point. I'm not saying that we're going to be at like, hey, pay players like tomorrow, but if you want this bowl game stuff to not lose too much luster, you have to, you have to factor into the risk reward conversation inside of a player's head because everything is about risk reward. My senior year,

I was going to be a top five pick. I sprained my ACL, which I didn't think was actually a thing until somebody did that recently. Oh, yeah, I saw that. Yeah, somebody sprained their ACL. But it's a thing. It's a real thing. Anyways, I had about three weeks to get ready for the Gator Bowl.

Total waste of time. We lost the whole nine yards, but I wouldn't change a thing. I, you know, I risked everything. I had a conversation with Anthony Poindexter who tore his knee up junior year or senior year, came back for senior year, lost millions of dollars playing NC State in a meaningless game. But it meant something to him. And, you know, a decade or two later, he told me, hey, you won't regret it either way. I don't regret anything. and I think everybody has to make that risk-reward analysis in their heads.

And people on the sidelines can't tell players what to think. It depends on the player what's important to them. You know, it's just a, it's a calculation. So I don't think it's going to be the end of the world. I don't think anybody, like I don't think any quarterback that's gung-ho about playing is going to see Matt Corral's injury, which doesn't look extreme and says, I'm not playing anymore. I don't think that's going to be the outcome here.

So I don't want to lose our lunch over this. No, and then, yeah, I just going to say, it's a whole other conversation. If you bring other assistant coaches in it and head coaches, like they got no problems opting out. They've been opting out. They've been opting out. I know.

But then you get certain guys who hung around, like the old Miss Ophitz coordinator, he hung around to coach, you know, Corral one more game and he's going to Oklahoma. So, like, it can be done. It can be done. It's just amazing how different, every person makes the situation out to be for that certain person.

So let me, let me move on to SINC in the playoff here. I mean, I thought they played really hard. They kept that ball game competitive for a while. And you could see when you walk out to the 50 yard line and they're doing the coin toss. It's always interesting to see two teams from different conferences that you've watched independently all year, kind of line up and look at each other eye to eye and Bama in Sinci's case, Bama's players are looking down at Sinci's players. They're just built different.

Like, that is just, I mean, There are guys that are 6-6 on that defense that do not look 6-foot-6. You know what I mean? Because everybody's so fucking big. Centsy was outmatch. Is this the ceiling for Cincey? And what does that say about Luke Fickle? Will he assuredly be moving on now?

I mean, like, he's seen what's on the other side of that door. I know everybody's saying everything about the games and how bad they were. But I thought it came down to the first halves in each game. When you look at Cincinnati, there was a couple third down. on plays that were huge. That Alabama batted balls down at the line of scrimmage, whether it was a blitzer or it was a detackle. And you saw the back angle.

The guys were wide open. If Ritter could get him the ball, that's what I talked about going into the game. You need to extend drives and also keep the Alabama offense off the field. And Cincinnati couldn't do that, couldn't catch up in the second half. Also, you can't let him go 96 yards before the half.

And let's be real, man. Let's be real. There have not been competitive football games played in that first round of that playoff since this inception. So if you're going to look at Sincian and say, well, better luck next time. There'll be no next time because

you had your shot. Well, they did the same thing that every other fucking Power 5 school has done against Bama or whoever on the other side of the bracket since the beginning of time when it comes to this thing. So I don't think this is like going to, I wouldn't hold this against

the next Cincinnati. In fact, I thought they did a pretty good job. Now, Michigan got their asses handed to them early and often. And I wonder, Georgia looked really pissed off. Georgia looked really focused. You wondered, we wondered aloud how they would look after that layoff, off the loss. They look tremendous. Do you think that anything different happens in this championship game between Bama and Georgia? Well, history's going to tell you it does, Chris. I think this is going to be the sixth time a team has played a team twice in the title game or in the BCS title game.

And all five times previous, the team who lost the first one got, I mean, took care of the, of the team in the rematch. So it goes back, Clemson, Notre Dame last year. That happened in ACC title game, Alabama, LSU, Florida, Florida State back in the 90s. It happened. So I think this is a different deal. I think the METI injury is big now. Big, big, yeah.

Now you saw, I thought other guys would step up and take the place of him against Cincinnati. But I thought Cincinnati did a really good job defensively against Alabama. They kept everything in front of them and they played that waiting game. Against Georgia, they're going to be able to get a lot more pressure with less amount of guys. I think that tape is not going to lie to those guys up front for the Georgia defensive front seven. And they're going to be pissed off again. So I think Alabama has their work cut out of them. I don't think either team is going to be able to run the football against each other.

I just don't think it's going to happen. So I think it comes down to quarterbacks. And I can't, right now I can't take, I cannot take Stents of Bennett over Bryce Young. I can't do it. Even though I think Georgia's, I just, I can't do it because I don't think Georgia has enough difference makers on the outside. So you're still taking Bama? I think I'm, right now I am. What's the line?

right now. It's three. Georgia minus three. Georgia's favored by three. Okay. Yeah. I kind of like a tease there. Surprise. I didn't I know you were going to say that. Winning down. Man, I should have said that right away. The Tees God. The Tees God. The Tees God. How the Tees got to God?

Tees got was really active today. Tees God's taking Winbet behind the wood shed today. Hey, wind bet. This is a new year, pal. It's a new year, new me. It's actually, I've been doing this for a couple weeks now, Steve. No big deal. But we've turned a corner and we're not turning back. One question. Less discipline. more discipline. I'd say it's more discipline. I still bet a lot, but what I'm doing now, Steve, is

when I'm confident, I always have to bet. Okay, you and I both know that, no pulse. I like to gamble so that I can enjoy the game that I'm watching. So I want to make a little investment in everything, including like New Orleans Carolina LiveLine today, including like, yeah, just a bunch

of games that nobody's watching. Fuck it, we'll sprinkle a little bit there. But I'm usually now doing a bunch of parlay's trying to hit somebody big, right? I'm trying to hit some parlays. I'm sprinkling a little bit of money line dogs. And then

I'm being tactical. I'm tactical with this bitch, Jake. The games that I really like, I'm betting big, but the games I don't love, I'm trying to, I'm trying to juice it. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So that's a little, it's amazing how much a little sprinkle will juice

things. Yeah, no, you got a sprinkle, man. I'm a big sprinkle guy in 2020. And I, unfortunately, one of the one live bets I lost today was on the Colts and we'll do the AFC playoff picture here I would have never bet the Colts against the spread but after that half of football

I would have thought they would have come out and they were three point favorites in the second half I bet them second half obviously we know how that ends but AFC we've got Titans chiefs, bangles, bills Pats all clinched Raiders and Colts in the hunt Colts

they're in with a win next week against the Jags but nothing is for certain with this team It feels like. And then the Raiders are playing a fucking playoff game. So how great is this for the NFL? You get the playoff game before the playoffs in Vegas in the shiny new stadium, which is beautiful. And you've already got one L.A. team in. So, you know, no matter how you slice it, this is good for the league.

You've got some really competitive weekday team matchups. Dolphins and Ravens are out essentially. And the Steelers, they're still in it. They get a win Monday night, which they won't. And week 18, they win as well, and then the Colts lose the Jags. They're in. So things are looking kind of, they're shaping up in the AFC, but the fringes still up in the air. West fires down feet.

Starting with the Colts today. I mean, Colts now 9-1 when Taylor has 100 yards, so we can stop doing that stat. Carson was just off. I mean, when you talk about a guy who didn't clear protocols until Saturday, I mean, including Sunday morning, I think he had to test and be asymptomatic. So you got an entire week with a guy who hasn't been really in rhythm. I mean, I tweeted last week that, hey, he made a terrific throw at the end of that Cardinals game, despite how poorly he'd been playing.

I got kind of attacked by Carson Stans, and I thought I was a Carson Stant. But evidently there was a whole other membership level. And they were mad at me and they were saying he has not been playing poorly. He played poorly the game before that. And for most of that Cardinals game, today he was atrocious. and when you don't have the reps and a guy comes out and starts one for seven, you know, I think you do have to tempo a little bit earlier.

He didn't get going until they tempoed at the end of the first half. I would have liked to have seen that earlier, ends the half 8 to 16 for 67. And it was just a bad day for him. 45 is like 150 was to TiWi on that fluky-ass Hail Mary. So tough for them. And this is why we don't trust the Colts necessarily to get to the Super Bowl, but again, they can beat anybody.

Correct. And I think it's the same exact deal, Chris, as we saw last week on Christmas with Baker Mayfield. That guy couldn't practice for two weeks. And look how rusty was. He was missing high. He was missing low. All those issues. You know better than anybody. As much as we hate practice, you have to do it. And that one throw to TY out of the backfield where he's going up the sideline, that's a 60-yard gain. And that flips the whole game around. And he overthrows him. He doesn't even complete it. I thought they got a couple of gift interference calls at the end of the game when they had that drive to tie it. But I'll tell you, you can say what you want. And, you know, people have weighed in on time and time again. Derek Carr in a two minute and a tie game. Yeah. There's not too many guys I'll take over. We got to give him his flowers here, man.

Dude, like Derek Carr, he takes a lot of shit. He threw two picks early in the game. I mean, he only threw one touchdown pass, I believe. but that doesn't tell the whole story. I mean, this guy was really stones at the end. He was money at the end. The big throw to Zay Jones, who had a big day, and then rolling right to hit Renfro on 4th and 2, 2017,

then sidestepping Leonard. That's the play of the game. You know, that play to Hunter Renfro, not just going for a touchdown at getting called back and actually fucking the Colts, because then you can run the clock out and kick the field goal. when he went down, I think there was 42 seconds if it stood.

44, yeah, I think so, yeah. So that throw was huge for a lot of reasons, but you got Derek Carr staring down the barrel at the Colts best player, all everything, rangy, he loops on a stunt. He's got the toughest tackle in football, which is directly at a quarterback who's standing in the pocket and sees you coming. That is a tough tackle, and he sidesteps him, and he delivers. So Derek Carr deserves a lot of credit.

The Satya deserves a lot of credit, the leadership on this team, Max Crosby, those guys. I mean, like, this is stuff out of a football movie, dude. This is stuff out of a down-on-the-luck football movie. You got, you know, the rugs thing. You have the Gruden thing.

You have all the injuries that they've had. It's been a shit show. And they found a way to be in it, week 17, week 18, counter to their entire reputation, which is that they have no guts. They have no heart.

But this is a different Raiders team. No doubt. They've been playing playoff games for a win. They've had to win every game. They've done it for a month. And now they got one more and they get into the tournament. I thought it said a lot about Carr with the idea of when Ruggs goes down and is out. And that whole deal happens.

And he says, I still got to love him. He's my teammate and nobody else wants to right now. Yeah. Like that's some big time stuff, man. That's locker room relationships and stuff like that. And then the way he handled when they stopped on the chief's logo. And he said, that's my team. You know, and you could tell.

He didn't agree with it, but it's his team. He knew it was a bad idea. Yeah, no doubt. And you saw that, but he didn't say that, and he took his teams back. And he owned it. That was all that was. Even though he wasn't part of it. That was also my boy, Will Compton's first week there.

So I don't know if Will Compton brought over some of that. I don't know if it came from old Willie Compton. He didn't look too sure to be stomping a logo. He was kind of on the fringes like, hey, guys, I want to be here, but I don't want to be here. You know what I mean? I don't want to be caught out of the picture. I'm going to do this so I can get on the plane home. Exactly.

But if I, you know, like I don't want to be in the middle. I don't want to be like the kid from Michigan, tearing up dirt on the Michigan State on Sparty at midfield. But I will say this. They had one chance here. As bad as they played, they had one chance. Leonard picking car with the Colts up 1713. They're at midfield.

They go five plays nine yards. You know, you get a fourth and 14 somehow on the Raiders 42 after a second in five. That's unacceptable. And this is like a crunch time situation when you're the Colts and you live dangerously and you leave teams in the game and I know the Cardinals are a good team

but you should have put them away last week you didn't make all the throws this is an opportunity and you take a sack from Yannick and Gakwe and you end up in a fourth and 14 and here's the worst part they back the Raiders up they have a third and three they let them out and the next time

they get the ball is on their own 20. So that sequence there is the sequence that like, hey, you still have a chance to totally redeem yourself like Lloyd Christmas, but you don't. And that was the game right there.

So Raiders can make the playoffs. Chargers jumped them the last time, 21-0-0. That was a lightning game. That was the game that got delayed for like five hours. So I'm really excited about this one because I got that Chargers win total bet. It's all going to come down to this. So go Chargers.

Farman busting up the middle, drives into Holland and takes it down to the one. And the other fringy team here that had a shot to stay alive was the dolphins, our beloved dolphins, who people have been calling like red hot, and I don't know if that's a word you used to, like people have been like the hottest team in football. They're the warmest team in football. They were the warmest team in football. The defense was hot. The offense was getting by.

and I think this game is it's disappointing because it's two years in a row that you have an opportunity to slide in the playoffs and the guy at the center of the conversation is not very good he had three picks against the bills last year when they got throttled and then today I know the weather's bad but Tanna Hill was playing with the same weather and Tua had an RPO that led to a turnover

just dropped the ball that made a 10-0 he had two on the day including an interception a lot of miscues botched snatches third and one, followed immediately by grounding. And then he got stripped on a reverse, like a reverse pass. Like that's got to be, these are the things that you're like, hey, we can't put up with this. It's not like the offense is explosive. You have to do things right.

And the difference between Tua, who did not understand the assignment today and the Tennessee Titans who always understand the assignment was glaring. And that's why Tennessee is where they are. They actually have a shot at home field, dude. It's crazy to me. Brable, coach of the year, dude. Coach of the year. Love it.

You know what's great about Tennessee when I think like nobody fears them because they are not pretty, but they don't fear anybody because they know what they got in that locker room. And that's a badass feeling to have, man. Like that takes a lot of belief in your team. And like we were going through the roster today. Like who's the longest tenure Titan? And it's the punter. Obviously that always happens like for a trick trivia question.

You know, but then like you go back like LaWan. has been there since 14. You know, Bayard didn't come in until 16. Is LeWan the longest tenured position player since 14? I think so. He may be.

He may be. It's around there. But the way that they've just taken on this approach since Braves has taken over is just awesome. Yeah. And that's to me out of this game.

With Miami, everybody had to say they thought they were a playoff team after Monday night football because they won and there was nothing else to talk about it because there was a terrible game and they still had a chance of playoffs. I watched them all. I mean, look at the quarterbacks that they beat during the win street. No, but like Lamar in there and we saw how bad Lamar was on that Thursday night. I think it was or Monday night, whatever was. Yeah, it was a primetime game and it was ugly. Yeah. And you just, they never put me over to hump to believe it. I want to believe in Tua.

You mentioned the elements today. He looked awful and handling the ball with some rain. You're playing the AFC East, man. You know, you're playing the AFC East. You're going to play in games in December that are snowy, sleety, rainy, windy. I mean, like, so on one hand, it's kind of unfair to be like, hey, to us suck today. You know, the weather sucked as well. But that's part of the story in the AFC East and every December and every January.

So even if it's not like, it's kind of funny because you're like, oh, warm weather, that's not going to bother him. But maybe part of the reason why he needs a chance. of scenery is maybe he's not a cold weather outdoor quarterback. He shows flashes. He takes a little bit longer processing than I like but if you can't take a, if you can't

take care of the football in a week 17 must win game, that's a problem, two years in a row. And to me, this is what it comes down to two of me and I said this when he and Burrow were coming out in the draft. They had the

advantage of when they lined up every snap in college, their four guys, out on the outside were at an advantage against the defender trying to guard them in any formation you put out. And that included when Alabama played LSU. They both had the advantage. And now you see Burrow anticipate throws and have confidence in guys and pull the trigger. And to us just still, you talk about it. It seems like it takes a little bit longer to process. But I also think it's a lack of confidence in yourself wondering if you could fit the ball into a window where in college you, there was no second thought. You were ripping it in there because you knew you had the advantage.

You factor in the elements here. And that's what worries me when I watched two. Well, look at the way Joe Burrow trusts his guys. I mean, that's what I'm saying. I mean, we're going to get to that in a second. But, you know, like, too is not the most talented in the world. Like, you know, he's going to have to be cagey to land a job somewhere. And that's, that's what his best thing was. When you talk about people around him, his anticipation of throws was what made it. It's not there anymore. It's not there anymore. Nope. And I don't know if it's unfortunate. In the NFL, it's really hard to

keep your confidence, no matter what position you play. At the quarterback position, your confidence in the NFL is something you've got to guard with your life. Because when you don't have it anymore, you're fucked. And unfortunately, Tua has seen things that would break any other player in the NFL

in the last calendar year alone. And he's kept swinging, but he might need a change of scenery. And I think that's going to be out of his hands, because if you're Brian Flores, you're thinking, This defense is really good. And here we are again, you know, at the end of the season, and we can't put up enough points.

And so for them, especially with everything, the confirmation bias of, hey, he's not the guy. You're going to want to prove as a head coach that I was right and make the move that would buy you more time. So we'll see what they do there. But it says it all. Third and 10 down 10 nothing at the 27. They run a draw for five and then kick the ball.

I know the weather's fucked up. but the playoffs are on the line. You've got to take some chances and they don't seem to have the confidence. And Tannahill, but 70% of the time played really well. And good for the Titans because they blew a game like this a couple weeks ago.

Yes, and that's what I wanted to say. Out of all this, Chris, that we're going to talk about, you're going to talk about on your own. The most important thing to me coming out of this week is that if Tennessee beats Houston, the road goes through Nashville.

Incredible. That's nuts, man. Incredible. And you know they're going to show up because Logan Ryan just he poked the bear a couple days ago. He said Tennessee, you know, Logan, he'd been waiting to say that. There was something that happened in Tennessee. He didn't like. But he was like tickets were for sale to fill the seats and that sort of thing, giving tickets away.

I don't think they're going to have to give any tickets away if the road goes through Nashville. And here's one of the craziest things, you know, one of the best kept biggest secrets in the NFL is where is Derek Henry? You know, those guys know where he is in that locker room. No doubt. Like, they're not telling anybody. They want to buy a week. Exactly. Exactly.

The only team to get the buy, that's huge. Exactly. And by the way, with Foreman, stack box, most of his carries, he bawled out, man. Like, he has been a really good piece for them. And you might have found yourself a complimentary piece for a guy that's probably going to be at 75% if he comes back. Yep.

And you're going to want to spell him. So, you know, in some ways they've come out of this. even better. I mean, like, like if he's healthy. Just look at the adversity they had in there. That's huge. That goes miles, man. No question. So, number seven put that thing away.

He put that thing away. I mean, fucked up number, never heard of him until two months ago, but this guy is balling out. Big shout out to a foreman. Texas. And he, Texas guy. Yeah. Yeah. Texas guy. I don't watch that big 12 stuff.

All right. It's mostly garbage. I kind of like Baylor, though. I do like Baylor because they play physical. Yes. They play physical. Iran is a great coach. Yeah, I like Bailey. Unbelievable job.

They've been rebranding a little bit at the top of that conference. They've been playing some physical football games. That Baylor, Oklahoma State Conference Championship was awesome. And look at it. They caught your eye and now you're right. Now I'm in Big 12. Big 12 Chris. That's what they call me.

Tees God, Big 12 Chris. It's Joe. It's Chase. Chase. There is no Chase. It's a. Touchdown. Hey, by the way, Kansas City and Cincinnati.

Again, hey, Jeff, Schwartz, you listening to me? I told you. I told you about Joey Burrow, baby. And I also told you that, and I'm not excited about this because my brother's on the chiefs. I want him to have home field. They might not have home field. But this was an opportunity for Kansas City to kind of like not only secure that road

going through Arrowhead, which is a motherfucker, but also to make a statement if they see these guys again that it's going to be a beast to play us. And they were up 14-0. 28-14-5. 28-17-a-half because they got that field goal before the half, you're right. Which was the biggest little sequence of the entire game because not only did they get the field goal, because had they not got that field goal, this was a game for a while that was like, hey, if you don't score and if it's not a touchdown, at the very least, you're fucked. And they were lucky because going into the half, they knew they were going to get the ball back.

So they had an opportunity for a two for one. But they damn near left Kansas City too much time. So number one, they hit the kick to at least make this ball game from a cover standpoint a little bit more interesting. And then they actually get away with a Pringle return. You get a hold that calls that back. And then on top of it, they hit a deep ball to Tyreek that bell punches out at the last second or it's a drop.

If they hit those shots, if they hit that return, that game is over. You know, I know it's just a four-point difference if they get in the end zone, but I felt like that was big to get points going to the half

and not give them up and then come out of the half slinging. Yeah, to me, I still, I can't understand on that third and 27, Chiefs goes zero blitz. I can't,

I mean, you know where Burrow is going and I just can't believe it. Well, it's incredible because I think this this sums up why people love Joe Burrough so much and are excited by watching the bangles. Second and 27, fuck it, we're taking a shot. We're not trying to get a little bit back. We're going for the whole thing. Third and 27, let's lay up for the field goal. Nope. I'm going to go for the jugular. I'm going to go outside the numbers where I threw for a million yards. They threw for over 300 yards outside the numbers. it. Joe Burrow does not care, bro.

He does not care, dude. He does not care. That was an incredible show by them. Because what they showed was, not only can Burrow hang, but their skill guys are better. Top to bottom, I mean, like, top to bottom, I think that when you

had Joe Mixing in the mix and you get those three wide receivers, it's pretty fucking scary. As you mentioned, Uzama's not bad. So I know that you've got the two-headed monster, in Kelsey and in Tyreek and they have top end strength there but Sinci and they might see

Kansas City again is kind of like Golden State a little bit I don't mean to like a lot of guys at the beginning at the beginning a lot of guys can get buckets on that team you know what I mean like it does not matter who you know like Jamar Chase is your best receiver the ball he caught early to be able to do that make 54 miss and score from 70 is like people don't do that in the NFL what makes him so good is he's the same guy that catches a screen for minus five yards. He's faced up with the tackler,

and he turns it in five yards. He's a dirty work guy, and he's a guy who can take top off defense. And I think that's what makes him great. And I think what makes Cincinnati so impressive is everybody said, hey, Penae Soule, this tackle, that tackle, you're going to get Joe killed. And by the way, he was sacked like twice,

two straight possessions early in the game. And you're like, oh, no, that is going to come to fruition. That thing that we all said in preseason, the biggest game of the season, they can't protect him. But really what it turned into was like, we don't need to protect him. We're just going to get the ball outside the numbers and my guy's going to go up and get it. So I think this was a big win for them, not just in the wing column, but also something that kind of validates their entire their mantra, which is just we'll score with you. Yeah. I mean, they, they, they, you don't see it a lot where you, where teams say they're going to do something and they do it.

And Burrow is that right in your face. And he's not afraid. And that's the first thing I think about when I watch him play or I hear him talk. You're getting what you're getting. And he's been phenomenal. And the guts, the whatever, testicle fortitude, people call it. I thought you said testicles. Yeah, the balls.

The best thing about that third and 27 and that last drive was, and yeah, we'll talk about the calls in a second, but 319 to go. the last 314 was chaos but they never gave it back okay you get third and one at the two minute warning you get first and goal you get second and goal you get third and goal after the final time out

at 1.46 and mixing gets stuffed the clock goes under a minute you get a fourth and goal which I hate I hate them going there I do they got bailed out by calls I mean like they got flags all day okay it goes both ways but they got bailed out and I didn't like that

because at the very least in that situation I don't want to go into overtime with this team I just really don't. And so I'd like to kick that ball at 45 seconds and take my chance. At some point of up three with my defense and Mahomes with no timeouts with 40, 50 seconds, I have to take. That's good enough for me. Here's the deal.

The fucking Bucker guy, he could kick a football from 60 yards away. So that factors in the conversation. But another thing that comes out of it is Burrow gets dinged. So I don't know what his deal is. I still disagree with it, like I said, though, because at some point, up three with 40 seconds You're going to have to be able to get a stop. I don't want to go. What if I don't get the ball in overtime?

Exactly, dude. They win the toss. It's over, dude. Over. Because on top of it, all of it, I'm just thinking, you're the Bengals. It never works out. Yeah. I mean, hindsight's 2020.

It worked out for them. The penalties were huge. Fenton, DPI, third, and three. That led to 21 to 14. Fenton, third, and four. That led to 28, 17. And then you get Sneed horse collar and DPI on the same possession. That was tough.

Those two calls were brutal. I liked the horse collar, though. Really? But he had him by the shoulder. It really wasn't a horse collar. He did. At the very end, he ended up on the back of his,

above the back of his nameplate. And by the letter of the law, as somebody who's betting the Bengals, I did not hate that call. Okay. All right. But the other ones, I'll give you that.

But the D. The DPI after that was brutal. Yeah, I'll give you that. But the horse collar, I could see it, especially in real time. That's a tough call. It's a tough call. It's chaotic on the sideline.

And Kansas City still looks good. But if you're Cincinnati, you might feel like your five-year outlooks just as good. Yeah. I mean, your five-year outlook. I don't know if they could beat him again in the playoffs, so might see him again in the playoffs. That was my coming out here. Is Cincinnati coming out, getting to win? Awesome. Put your division champ hats on and T-shirts. Teddy Bruske always used to call, you know, you get fired up for the head, you know, t-shirt hack game.

But I don't see Cincinnati going to Kansas City and winning in the playoffs. I don't care what the line is. Give me Kansas City. Yeah, it's going to be tough. But I will say this. The Bengals missed a lot of opportunities early. Eli Apple drops a pick.

I think they forced to hold and get them in like second and 20 and then they give up an explosive. When you have these opportunities and since these defense, one of the worst things they did today was their rush lanes at times were kind of fucked up. There was a third and four where Mahomes is full sprint 10 yards

nobody around him into the middle of the pocket you know everybody's behind him I tweeted a picture of it like if you give Mahomes a pocket that he cannot climb sprint into he's going to burn you and so like if they play him again you know Hubbard should have had a sack but there was no balance up there was a lot of stuff with pass rush that they can get

kind of rectified the next time they play this team and they spotted him 14 points and still won so I know it's arrowhead it's different but this is going to be a hell of a game. A hell of a game if we see this matchup again. By the way, put third and 27 on a fucking shirt. You know these homage?

I'm sure it's going to be out of shirt tomorrow. On these homage shirts. Hubbard sent me one. He sent me a large. I don't know if that was a subliminal that I'm too small. Sam, but I'm going to get on the creotene and I'm coming to fucking Ohio. There's the t-shirt there. Cowboys got it. It's

O.H. Fed. Now we're going to have a third and 27 shirt tomorrow. I want it. I want the third and 27. I want in two I'm still a big guy. All right. Dallas on the other side. Like Dallas, Arizona, that was the big NFC matchup. Rams got to win as well.

Gutsi. Still in it, but they're so variable. They're so variable. Stafford did not look good. I thought that was huge in the defense. Huge, huge by the defense. And yeah, I mean, like, it's, he has four pick sixes in one year and golf has four in his Ram's career.

Oh. So, you know, people are going to be throwing that stat out. all week, but Dallas off of one royal ass kicking. Maybe their foot was still stuck in Washington's ass, and that was why they didn't play well. But they were due for a down game already.

Like, you know, I said a couple days ago, I thought this line stunk. And it turned out that, you know, even with all the injuries Arizona's had, even with Dallas getting well, even what they did last week, they kind of regressed in the mean when it came to not only

Dax play, and we'll get to that in the second, but they really haven't been impressive the last five, six weeks. So I wasn't going to take a one week sample size and say, fuck, they're going to blow the Cardinals out. It made too much sense that the Cardinals won a low-scoring game.

So we get that straight. Dallas got jobbed. Okay, they got job late. They should have had another opportunity possibly. The play clock was at zero. Very same play. You get a fumble, clear recovery. Edmonds coughed it up, 241 to go.

get it. If you're a Dallas fan, you're sitting here and saying you got a job for once you did, for once you did. But you put yourself in this position. Play better in the first. Play better in the first 55 minutes of the game. You have all that time. You're right. The consistency on the offensive side, I just don't get C.D. Lam a non-factor until late in the fourth quarter drops, you know, just uncharacteristic things where in the playoffs, when you're trying to keep your offense on the field, you can't have those things. and the injury to gallop.

I don't think it's as big as people, but it's also as people are going to make it out to be, but it's just another guy you have. That's a great matchup for you, and Dak likes him. But then you also saw how much Dak likes Cedric Wilson when he went to him after the injury. So to me, this was more about Arizona, Chris,

as they've been as bad as it has been. Yeah. And seeing how we talked about last week, you start out seven and O, and then, you know, everything starts swirling. People start comparing Kingsbury starts in Lubbock of what they are in Arizona. And that team needed a win, and they got it.

And I give them a ton of credit. It's a playoff atmosphere. And I think that got them going. Like, there's a little back against the wall feeling there with the Cardinals. And I thought Kyler was good when he had to make plays. I still wonder about their offense where there's some of these one man goes. And if they don't get the route rub the right way, it's just a throw away. I don't know if that stuff flies in the playoffs on the road.

So it's a really important win. for Arizona to get off the ground and get on their feet. So to me, it's more about that, but I understand what you're saying about Dallas, the consistency. They haven't wowed us in a couple of weeks. Don't look into that Washington win too much from last. Dak played poorly. And I love Dak.

There's nobody I want to play well more than Dak. And there's nobody I think is a better leader than Dak. But like since Dak's been hurt, more often than not, he's looked off. And I don't mean the big injury. I mean, the little one with the calf, which calves hang around, dude. No doubt. I mean, I had a calf for like. Especially when they got big one.

Well, you got big ones like you. Like me. Yeah, I had a calf for two years, bro. I remember when I was in St. Louis, a guy, Sammy Brown from Houston. I don't know if you remember him. He had like 17 sacks when you're at Houston. He was one of the best pastures I ever saw,

but never like saw the field. Yeah. And he always had this calf. And everybody was like, he's just making shit up. He's had a calf for two years. I had a calf for two years at the end of my career. I'm not saying that's why DAC is off,

but from the beginning, he was off on very routine throws. Like the third and nine early where he missed Cooper, They had a chance to go up 7-3 at that point, and that's big at home. You talked about a throw that was missed early in the game. And I forget which game of me. Yeah, Wentz missed a throw to T.Y. Hilton. When you have those opportunities at home or on the road, you have to take advantage of him.

He missed those opportunities. You know, he's behind Zeke, you know, on flat stuff. They're getting stuffed on third and one early. The run game's not great. He almost did two picks, one to Hicks, and Buda Baker, by the way, who we've promised. We've promised Buda Baker that when he gets his first pick six, which we want him to,

we're going to donate some money to a cause of his choice and the whole thing. And he had that screen pass read perfectly. He's a great player. He jumped it too fast because the flow was behind him. He jumped in too fast. He was too smart. He was too fast.

Buda Baker was too fast, bro. But either way, they got the win and Wesley stepped up. That was big. Like Wesley played big. that ball out of the half that he caught was big. I mean, the fourth and goal and they were aggressive, like the fake

punnerally. Uh, that catch. It's a great catch. Nobody's talking about it, but it was like, it was like, it's going to be the best thing that Scott saw on our show tonight. I'll tell you that. Is it? Oh yeah. I mean, caught it like, it was like a car phone. Like, at least he pulled it in where David Tyree just kept it on the helmet.

It's a better catch. It's a better catch. Way better. Better catch. Try that on for size. Giants fans. Hey, Giants fans. don't say shit. Because you got Joe Judge talking about what's he talking about? There's people

calling him from other. That's a no-no. Go check out Barnwell's feed. He went through all the guys it's possible. It's great. Well, that's the problem. That's the problem. If that's true, that he's lying. Well, number one, he could, he probably might be lying. But if he's not lying, that's fucked up because, and I like

Joe, and I was in New England with Joe. I really like him, but if I'm one of those guys, I'm hitting Joe Judge up, like, now I got people wondering, like, is it you? You know what I mean? I think that's one of the the kind of undercover most fucked up things about that. And another thing from that game, Robert Quinn.

What's up? The Richard Dent's Sack record. You might not even have heard about it. Like, people didn't even hear about this. Oh, yeah. He broke the single season sack record. He's been there like a second. He's now held two franchise single season sack records. unbelievable.

No offense to Rams defensive linemen. No, we have better edge guys. All right. We do. Okay. Where would you have as many Hall of Famers as Chicago? It doesn't matter. We're talking numbers here because that's what the crux of this conversation.

Gold jackets don't matter. Got it. No, it doesn't. Single season records. No, we're talking about single season records. Okay. So I had 55 with the Rams and I think I was like fifth or something. Where would 55 with one franchise be with the Bears?

We'll look that up. I mean, I had to deal with fucking. Deacon Jones, fucking Jack Youngblood, Merlin Olson, all those guys. And those are the guys that are not even keeping stats for. Kevin Carter, Leonard Little, Kevin Green. Come on, man. And then Robert Quinn, Aaron Donald. It's a motherfucker to place.

I would have been fourth all time on the Bears list. Just make it. Make that full screen. Read. Full screen. If he was a bear. If he was a bear. If I was like a Jaguar, I think I'd have the record.

No, there's a few things. might take you to me. Can you play next week? They might need you. Yeah, exactly. Hey, anybody listening? I know some of you motherfuckers listen. I can still rush. I heard people are talking about signing Antonio Brown. Okay? Antonio Brown's still eligible

to play football? Sign me. I can still rush. Come back. Yeah, I'll come back. One of you motherfuckers. I see you sitting there in your desk chair watching film of your shitty ends. Just getting blocked.

You just giving their leverage. I'll show you leverage. They're just giving their chests up. I can do this off the street. I can push the pocket off the street. Anyways, I'll balance the rush.

Some of these young fucks. Won't balance the rush. Get the shoots out tomorrow at the house. I will. Robert Quinn's got me in the mood to fucking go go do this thing. Isaiah Simmons, by the way, in that Cardinals game,

best play of the game. Best play of the game, dude. I mean, not to mention some of the, some of the plays in the red zone and on Chase Edmonds that talk about second level freaks

in nature. We've got Parsons hunting Chase Edmonds all night. I mean there was one play that he bypassed Chase for a screen, put his foot in the ground, turned around and Edmonds is seeing him coming, and the ball is off target. He's like, damn, I'm glad I didn't catch that. He almost defended the quarterback and the screen,

him running him down. But Isaiah Simmons it's, I think it's a touchdown game at this point late. The Cowboys boys might go down and tie it. And he blows up Zeke on an ad, then runs down DAC

on a second effort and fucking Mani Paceos the ball out. I mean, this kid, freak athlete, it's nice to just have him at your disposal and we don't even talk about him much. Great play by him. Do you guys think that any of these teams that have already made the playoffs will

rest players next week, like Cowboys, Eagles or Cardinals? Well, it depends on if they have a spot to lose. Yeah. I think I think they'll rest because I've said it all year. No one at there's only, and I know it was last year too, but no one really seems to remember it

where only one team gets to buy in each conference. I think it's just about getting in the tournament and being ready. Now, if you're talking about a home game, maybe, but you've got to talk about how valuable these guys are that you might be sitting. So I think it's a valid question.

I think it's something that we're going to see. Well, I'm looking at it here. Who are you thinking? I mean, the Packers might rest some guys. I mean, the Packers are going to play the Lions.

And they're going to be playing. for home field, but if they can get out to a good start, it kind of depends on how your coach is. How about your Eagles? They're locked in. They're locked in. Well, the Vikings are down 20 here with 10 to go. You never know. Yeah, if I'm the Eagles, honestly, I think that team needs a lot. I think that team needs, like, I don't think that's a team you want to just sit guys. I think there's certain guys you want to sit, veteran guys, I think you get Fletcher Cox a break. Fletch, if you're listening. I am campaigning for you to get a break next week because I know you probably are too. But like if you're an older guy and you got tread on the tires, you don't have a lot of tread on

the tires left. I forget which way that goes. But yeah, yeah. Take, you can't buy new tires. You can't buy new tires at this point in the season. You know, they say when you go to OTA is the veterans say, this is the best your body's going to feel all year like in May. So this is the other end of that spectrum. Actually, I think you feel the worst like the first month out of training camp. I don't know about you, Steve. But yeah, I feel like they just kill you in training camp. Your legs. Yeah, it's your legs. The best you feel is like turning the corner Thanksgiving, but then you really need this break if you're an older guy. So anyways, yeah, Matt, good question. Rams aren't going to wrestle anybody because the Niners are going to beat that ass probably.

I mean, the Niners own them and they'll be playing for something, won't they? So. It is Willford time, though. It's his time of year. Oh, yeah, it is. And are we going to get Jimmy G back? I don't know. No, UCL. I don't know.

They might have to win without Jimmy G. Next weekend's going to be so fun. So fun, dude. I mean, we're rounding into form, dude. This was so, I woke up like a kid on Christmas this morning. You know how I feel about some of the slates we've had this year. So I got you. I will see you next Sunday night.

Tell Scott we said hello. And Scott's take was terrible about eggnog. I know. This dog shit. He said eggnogs like mayo. He also doesn't like anything, but he also still can't taste anything. Oh, because of the COVID. I don't know why he's arguing.

Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, congratulations to the Terps, too. Will you thank him for that? I will. I will. That's the only time I've ever rooted for them.

who are going to get the potential buy to start the playoffs, all the division leaders. Yeah, yeah, there's only one on one side and each side. So do you think that possibly they are at more risk with having that buy with the COVID and everything? You're giving your players that extra week off. That's interesting.

And of course, you want to keep them enclosed and try to have everyone stay in the house. But realistically, we know that you have families, you have obligations. And some guys, maybe they can isolate themselves and they can think about the bigger picture and do as much as they can. But with that being said, not going in every day to get the rapid test and get... I don't know what the protocols are on a buy, but you're right. Like, inevitably, you're going to have to give guys like the weekend off. And like, then what do you do with it? So you bring up a good point, facts.

I mean, I'd still rather have the buy. But it's a good point. I mean, like, you could get COVID. A bunch of fans could fall on you if you're playing Washington. It's tough, man. It's tough. Funny story about the buy. And I'll always tell this story.

It's my first experience with it. And by the way, Green Bay is probably going to have the buy, right? And then Green Bay is locked into the buy. And then if Tennessee wins, they have the buy. But Kansas cities could still get it. So Tennessee worries me more than Green Bay. I don't think there's shit to do up in Green Bay. Yeah, that is true.

So unless somebody pulls like an O'Dell and hits, you know, like goes and. And that's what usually those guys do at this time of year is you hop on that quick flight. And we all know getting on the flight is major exposure traveling these time zones. But who doesn't want to get out of Green Bay for even a couple of days? If I'm the coach there, I say, guys, we're doing something that you're never going to forget the rest of your life. Now, you have an opportunity to leave here this weekend. You're a grown man. Like, you want it, take it.

But I'm just telling you that we have an opportunity to do something that you're never going to forget the rest of your life. In six weeks from now, it'll feel like it went by in a blink. So if you can just hang on and think about where you're going and what you're doing this weekend, I think it'll pay off for us as a group. You give them the freedom. but you let them know what's at stake. It's something to look at. COVID, I swear, is playing an intricate part that's making all of this very, very, way

more interesting. And I'm glad they changed the rule. Yeah. And a lot of people say, hey, listen, Chris, like you were, you were hardcore on, I've never been hardcore on anything, but just don't act persecuted. You know, like, you have your choice. Nobody's picking you up in an unmarked white van and sticking a needle in your arm.

But if you work in the NFL, like a lot of workplace, places in America, there were going to be some things that you had to contend with, start the year out. The game has changed. Omicron is different. So I have no problem. This isn't people going back on the gung-ho rules. This is, hey, we're hitting a curveball here. It's a developing situation. And if I'm a player, I'd feel the same way. I'd feel like Aaron Rogers is getting interviewed by Aaron Andrews. As soon as the mics go down, they're walking side-by-side in the tunnel. They're eight feet apart. They're side-by-side going in the tunnel. I do think there's been a dog and pony show

that I think has been good that they kind of they changed the guidelines a little bit to go with what the CDC says. Because you're going to like, you could lose somebody in the playoffs that could change the history of the game, right? Like Aaron Rogers,

he has the antibodies, right? That's a valuable thing. Because he's probably straight until I think actually the timing of that is he's straight until right before the Super Bowl. But a lot of guys don't. and you lose one guy, you get popped on a Thursday, right? That's in the danger zone.

So there's a lot to contend with here for these players. No, there is a lot. But my bi-week story, it's not that great, but it's a story that makes me smile because I don't know if Bill cared or not, but it was my year in New England. It was week 17, back when we had 17, walk both ways to school, seven miles in the snow.

Week 17. I don't know. I was averaging like maybe 30 something plays a game at this point. My snaps were a little down. And I needed like 40 to get this big bonus in New England. And it was week 17. We were playing the dolphins. And he got me to my snaps.

And then I got taken out of the game. Like I made the bonus by like five, seven snaps. And I'll never forget being so thankful because I thought I was just going to get fucked on it. And week 17 or 18 is always interesting in that right. Because there are guys that need a certain amount of snaps. There's guys that need a certain amount of stats.

I've told you about the one sack I had against San Francisco and St. Louis. It was like eight and a half on the year. It was my third year. And it was a big bonus. And I got it the last game, Christmas week, fourth quarter, bro. And so like there's a lot going on week 18 in the NFL that

has nothing to do with the outcome of the ball game. My rookie year, I'm in Jacksonville. I just got picked up off the practice squad from New York about five weeks earlier. Or, yeah, about five weeks earlier. Last game of the season. I'm a rookie. I'm excited because I'm about to get some playing time. I don't know how many games we won that year.

Maybe four or five. Is this a year you threw your Christmas tree down the trash shoot seven floors instead of? Yeah. Almost killed a guy probably? So I go into the locker room last game of the season, and I see one of our starting old linemen throwing a fit, upset, cussing, and I have no idea what's going on, and it was a bonus situation.

He walks into the locker room last day. I think he needed so many games starting, and that particular game, they were starting a rookie. And they'll do that. They will do that. And that's what I really realized. was a business and it's like why are we going to give you a bonus when we didn't win shit this year now i don't know that bill was sitting there counting my money or my snaps but for sure there's

somebody in the building that's looking at that stuff one one thousand percent someone's so let you know i'm appreciative of that couple games that i didn't mention today first off gus johnson and akib especially gus like was making me now i had a little money on the the lions but it was like a 38 13 game And he's screaming, dude. And I'm believing that this is a good football game. It's the worst thing when you're chasing a bet that you're not going to win and you're watching and Gus Johnson's calling the game because you don't turn it off. Like Gus convinces me that I'm going to win a bet.

Like Lions did not cover, but Gus, as always, doing a great job keeping me into the game. And the Lions feeding the big guys. Decker had a touchdown. They had one tight end on the active roster. I just want to say this. Detroit, I've never seen a two and 13 and one, two and 14 team play so hard.

I mean, like, really, I mean, we talk, and it's not even a, look at how Jacksonville played. Look at how these other teams played. Like, Detroit was on the road in Seattle playing a meaningless football game. Guys are in vacation mode, and they're playing their asses off.

Meaningless to who? It's meaningless to a lot of guys. I had to be my parlay again. But they do play hard. But I do want to say this, though. I told you so on Buffalo, too. I know Jeff, I hate to do the victory lap on 15 things. Well, a couple things here.

I said last week, Cowboy, you were here. I said, I'm worried about the lions because I'm worried D.K. Metcalfe goes off. And Jeff and Makin snickered. And they said, well, he never goes off. We went off. He had three touchdowns today. Another thing, Falcons covered. They did cover, right?

In the snow. But that was a ball game. And this is why people got mad like Buffalo. You got mad last week because I counted, quote unquote, counted the bills out for treating them like every other team in the NFL. But they got the win nonetheless. So credit to Buffalo. That was a thing of beauty.

Snow everywhere. Tough ball game. And as somebody who bet the bills on the windbed app, I can tell you they did not cover by how. the point. Yep, there you go. There you go. So yeah, bet the bills at your own risk when they play the Falcons. Hey, two things for you guys to wrap up the day. One for Reed. Read, the guy who tweeted that you look like John Wilkes Booth. Yeah, that was a bummer. No, not a bummer. I mean, John Wilkes Booth was a bad guy, right? Racist, killed a president. Yep. But, I mean, that was like

spot on, dude. I mean, like, you look like the guy, right? I'm not saying you are the guy I'm not saying you're going to kill me I'm like I'm your Abraham Lincoln somebody said if he goes with the side part I got to start worrying Yeah no don't need to worry about any of it I mean could have gone

Edgar Allan Poe you look a little Edgar Allen Poe Could have gone my name is Earl There are a few better ones Than a My name is a murder Presidential murderer Well don't ever ask me to go to the movies with you motherfucker's gonna be like Chris we should go see

or just don't tell me when you're going to the movie yeah well no you're gonna be like I'm good back here I'll just sit behind you um yeah so if go to my Twitter Cowboy Reed looks like John Wilkes booth it's fucking the guy didn't even tag me in the post he just tagged you it was incredible yeah I know he knew he knew you might sneak up behind him at the theater

that's right he knew what's up yo it would suck to get us assassinated back in the day because like you know you're getting assassinated like it took a while to die back in the day like it wasn't like you they walk up behind you in abraham lincoln it was like nothing like the sopranos no spoilers he was on an operating table all night it took like a long bro he's like fuck i got assassinated like he's just sitting there like knowing he got assassinated for like eight hours it's the worst they was shooting bullets that look like marbles Yeah. And also why assassinate somebody you get called an assassin and then you break your leg jumping off the stage and you have to deal with a broken leg.

Oh, well, I mean, racists will go to tremendous lengths. Was it just about, it was just the economy to him, I'm sure. States rights. States rights, that whole thing. He thought Lincoln was a tyrant. He yelled six semper tyrannis, which means thus always to tyrants. I know, I know. And is also Virginia's flag.

flag state motto yeah yeah it's up there this guy is pretty famous you guys know a lot about this guy yeah he's the guy that killed abraham lincoln did you know that famous actor you did know that yeah john wilkes booth yeah it's famous actor yeah he was wasn't he yeah he was popular at the time was a lot of shows also supposedly holy shit that'd be like one of these people and by the way i saw that movie don't look up you hated it no at first i hated it because i thought it was really heavy-hand but then I realized they were trying to be heavy-handed. Like, you know how some movies tried to do both? This movie was just fucking around,

but, like, there was a serious undertone because that's how we would act. Yeah, I'm a sucker for Leo. I like most things he does. Yeah, Leo's great. Jennifer Lawrence was awesome. And my favorite actor in the whole thing was the guy with the drones.

But Elon Musk-type character. It's Mark Rylance, I think. Oh, my God. That guy was so... funny. It was so funny. He had to go to the bathroom. What movie is this? This movie, don't look up. It's on like Netflix.

Okay. I'm going to check it out. Yeah, it's fucked up. Now, this is what I was going to tell you, Matt, before we close the show. This weekend, I was doing, I was on YouTube, as I do sometimes. And when I'm not checking out the green light tube, it's a plug there, read, I'm looking at like conspiracy theory things. sort of thing like every other white male in this 30s. So,

uh, there's a Beatles conspiracy that I had no idea about. You know it. John Lennon, not John Lennon. Paul McCartney is dead. The Paul, the Paul is dead one. Yeah. If you like play a certain album backwards, it'll say that. It ain't just that, dude. It ain't just Sergeant Pepper's the whole cover. There's like, he's holding a black instrument. There's a guy with a hand over his head, like, you know, which is an Eastern religion is, is like a symbol of death. There's also Paul, um, didn't look quite the same as the guy supposedly that they that they brought on to be the

Paul they were that his back was turned on the back of Sergeant Pepper's like and everybody else is looking at that there's like five pictures him with a hand above his head how many videos how how many videos like it only takes one it only takes one now where do you stand on this thing how could you pull this off dude marshmallows doing it marshmallow's doing it fuck me dude Marshmallow wears a fucking hat. That's how he's doing it. I don't know. I mean, the whole thing was like Paul is dead, but he's alive.

Bro, there are so, if it wasn't true, there are a lot, they were doing it on purpose. Yeah, I think they probably were trying to like do some weird shit on purpose. They were definitely doing it on purpose because there were like a ridiculous amount of clues. I'll pull this up real quick. I got to look into that more, but I'm afraid of those YouTube rabbit holes that can take up your whole evening real quick. Yeah. Yeah, Ken. I don't know.

What's it like not having an evening to take up? We're having an evening to take up. Like, once you motherfuckers have kids, it is over, dude. There's no evenings. I got to sneak all my YouTube when my wife thinks I'm sleeping. You know what I'm saying? I started watching magic on YouTube the other day and it just went down a dark hole. Magic.

Like magic cards or like like, like Ricky Jay doing card tricks from the 80s on. I love it. So here's the deal. married and you have kids um and you say i'm going to take a nap and my wife's not listening we're like 90 minutes in this pod you say i'm going to take a nap what you're really doing is you're smoking and watching youtube for an hour and then you're sleeping for like an hour is that why you sent me a picture of like a desk set up in your bathroom at home that's the office dude that's my office late at night i told you this is where i get a lot of my work done you know this is my saturday night i had everything

that you need to prepare for sunday football is in my office the porcelain throne the oval office. The oval office is what I call my bathroom because the toilet is shaped like an oval and that's where all the big decisions are made. But yeah, I believe this shit, the Paul McCartney thing. And by the way, happy New Year's to everybody. I don't believe that Paul McCartney's dead. I think they were doing something on purpose. They were doing it on purpose. They were doing it on purpose. It's marketing scheme. Marketing. That's all it is. A happy new year and quick fact for you. Yeah. Were you a, I don't know for any Jetson's fans out there, George Jetson was born in the year. 20.

And isn't the Jetsons some bullshit? The Jetsons is the biggest pump fake in movie or TV history because let the Jetsons tell it. I don't have to worry about road noise anymore. Like all the cars are silent and they fly through the air like all this stuff. You know, we're living up in the sky and shit.

Hey, George just must have been really rich because I think like really rich like Elon Musk, he probably's living like some of that stuff that was going on Jetsons. You think George was loaded? I almost think yeah, he was very loaded. He had a flying car. You bet your ass he was. And he was best friends with his boss. I don't know much else of the plot. But I will say this, happy New Year. And if you have kids and when you got like it was one,

it's one of the highlights of New Year's Eve. Like when you're young, New Year's Eve is exciting. Right. It used to be one of my favorite holidays because there's so much ahead of you. You know, like the world is so unknown and exciting and now you're older and just kind of fucking sucks but so new year's is less exciting for people that are like say 30 and up because you're kind of on the back half but once you have kids it starts over and you can start doing like fake new years with them at 9 p.m. that's a lot of fun dude me and my wife did three different new years my kids had three different new years one at 9.05 one at 915 one at 930 there's all these videos online. If you're ever looking to do a fake

New Year's and like pump fake somebody, you go online, you YouTube like, I don't know where she found this shit, but it's basically house music with cartoons dancing in front, dubbed over the house music and like still shots the 2016 Super Bowl

with Cam Newton and Von Miller. Anyways, these videos are on the internet. If you have kids next year, you should find them because there's nothing more fun than watching your kids think it's New Year's Eve. I hope everybody has a really good 2022.

I know that I'm going to have the best year of my life. After all that, I just said about how much it sucks now and we've got nothing to live for and we're old. Fuck it. It's win anyways.

That's what Antonio Brown said today. Fuck it. His 2020 is off to a golly. A great start. He dropped a single. It's charted.

Grimlin. That shit is not even. Grimlin. It's Charlie. I might drop a single. Hey, featuring Dr. Fax, let's do it.

It'll probably go through the roof. Plastic, looking for my chapstick. People would be really upset. Like, if we did drop a single and it, like,

it might hit the charts. Totally hit the charts. Oh, oh.
