Tennessee, y'all too. 1-8009-9-9. Welcome to Green Lights Podcast. Oh, boy. NFL week 18 it is in the books. We've got 14 teams in the NFL playoffs for the 2022-203 season. There's some tight races yesterday. Detroit Lions were everyone's America's teams.

We were watching them late despite them not having any playoff chances. Did we see Aaron Rogers' last appearance in the NFL? And Wildcar weekend matchups. What playoff matchups are we looking forward to which games are going to be close, which teams have the most momentum going into the postseason? Chris Kyle and make and talk about all that and more. y'all enjoy this week 18 NFL recap. These playoff games suck.

Why? Well, I guess the, I knew you would have complaints on like the placement of the games, the timing at the very least. The knots of great teams is part of it. True. Is it going to be Skylar Thompson? I mean, a couple of these ball games are going to be 41.13. Okay, Miami Buffalo is going to be a fun game.

What? Could be. Yeah, it could be a fun game. Both games were really competitive. And too does well after concussion. The Skyler Thompson is not going to be a competitive football game. It's not going to be a competitive football game. Some of the balls he threw yesterday took forever to land,

and they went like 15 yards. Okay. San Francisco is going to hammer Seattle. Yes. Chargers Jacksonville could be fun. I think it could be fun. I think it could be fun. Eight o'clock, eight-fifteen games. Slugfest.

For some reason, people are saying Trevor Lawrence looked good the other night? Did it? Didn't? Looked eye. The only thing. that the Jags really have going for them is they don't have to fly across the country. That's such an awful trip. That's such an awful trip. With the injuries and the short week, it's always guaranteed that you get an ASC South team the first day of the wild card. So early game. Yeah, the early game. So Chargers have a

short week. We'll talk more about Brandon Staley's decision to play his guys. Yeah, inflammation doesn't get better on long flights. Baltimore, Cincinnati, you don't know about Lamar. You might be right. I might be coming around on this. Dallas Tampa Bay is going to be. be a good football game. Oh, God. Must you. And if it's not a good football game, entertaining at the very least. It'll be entertaining. Yep. Okay. So, yeah, I mean, they're batting about 500. Hey. But I'm excited

about your Giants. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That'll be cool. Daniel Jones, man, I can't wait to watch him in the playoffs. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. What a time to be alive. Yeah. Eagles will host the Niners for the NFC title, yeah. That's right. Can we put that in Sharpie? And that matchup scares the shit out of me.

As an Eagles fan, I guess I would count myself. Brock would be 8-0 all-time as a starter at that point. Incredible. Incredible. Okay. Let's kick this thing off, America's teams. Is this the final installment?

Oh, I don't think. So I was hoping we would go forever. I'll be submitting them through the spring. Because some of these, some of my teams aren't football teams. Yeah, we'll have March. Madness, et cetera. There are other sports. You're right.

You want to start? Oh, I'd be delighted to. The Chicago Bears. Yes. My first America's team. Holy heck, you got the number one overall pick in the entire NFL draft. That was... And you don't need a quarterback.

And you don't need a quarterback. Do you find the discussion interesting at all? Which discussion? If you don't think Justin Fields is a throw over the ball. I think that's a non-discussion. I agree with you, but you could go get another guy two years behind Justin Fields with regard to a rookie deal. I don't like any of this. I don't like any of this. I don't like any of this.

For a big old haul. Are you in September? Have you seen what the gentleman has done late in the season? I know there's still concerns about him throwing the football. I'm with you. But all I'm saying is when you're able to tank as gracefully as they tanked. They were two and one. Okay.

They won three games. Gracefully. They were a playoff team. When the draft pick makes tanking palatable, the draft pick might be special. You know? that's just kind of the rule I'm going off of. And the Bears are going to have a ton of picks and a ton of capital as a result of that. They have a bunch of cap space next year, $119 million.

They have eight draft picks as it stands. Eight draft picks, and you're probably going to be looking at 12, 13 draft picks by the time they're done with this. Do all Chicago pro teams suck right now? I think I read that. Well, the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup a number of times. when I was there. The Cubs won the World Series. The White Sox were coming off of being really hot before I got there. But now it's the youth. But now it's the youth of Chicago sports. They're going to build them back up. But I'm just telling you, I mean, like Justin Fields made it feel like the last 10 games

of the season. They lost all those games. They haven't won since they beat New England. They'll never forget that. That, you know, if you pulled Bears fans, they seemed happier now than they were in the Cutler era. Fuck yeah. You know, it's like because there's hope. Not only because there's Oh, but they see a guy in Justin Fields that's relatable, a guy that gets up and talks to the podium, and he shows, he puts his emotions on his sleeve. And for better or worse, there were times this season where people were saying, you can't say that at the podium. But people also appreciate the fact that he's even there after getting his ass kicked. It's all class. All class.

Yeah, I like to get a lot. They got their quarterback, so quit that. I just think it's interesting. Continue, because we're going to talk more about that. Chicago Sky went 26 and 10 last year. Fuck, yeah. Oh, did they? Yeah.

At the Allstate Arena. at the All-State Arena. I remember you sat court side when Deladon played. Yeah, Stud. Yeah. Blue Hen. Delaware. Yes.

Oral Roberts featuring... All right, so Kat's last name is A-B-M-A-S. You'd think Ab-M-A-M-M-A-S. I don't know. It's A-M-M-M-S for reasons unknown. I don't get it. He had a good tournament, maybe last year,

two years ago. They lost a transfer out. But Ace Miss, this kid Ace Miss, look up Ace Miss, the half-court buzzer beater he hit over the weekend. First name Max. Max. Max Aismiss, yeah. This is a fun club, Oral Roberts. They had the Kansas City ruse. They're the kangaroos. They're the Rooze. I like that. UM, Kansas City. And some folks, surely, were on the Royal Roberts Money Line, and that was a fun ending. Okay, got it. I was waiting. And the Kansas City Kangaroos? That's... Didn't know they existed. Look at Max Aspen.

U.M.K.C. rules? Also, I caught Gunner O'Shefskies College of Origin yesterday. I've never heard of it. Looked that one up. Where was it? You should see some of the schools. Look that shit up.

Playing D1 College Hoos. Like Shippenburg? Queens? Bumigi State. Bumigi State. Somebody tell me where Bumigi State is. I went to Louisiana. Luigi Tech.

Okay. Luigi Tech. Tarleton State is a school? Tarleton State. I know Tarlin State. Yeah. Okay. Okay.

The Georgia Bulldogs By the time some of you are listening to this Georgia has won the national championship by 24 points over the TCU Hornford Rock. You think is that safe? And they won't cover either. Yeah, no, no, I think it's cover city. I think the talent disparity is so great

that this will not be a competitive football game Friday night. My buddies want me to go to a bowling alley to watch. I don't know if that sounds cool. Yeah. Kegler's? You want to go? I thought.

I'll pull the audience. No, I just said we weren't inviting any more people. I said it on the group through. Oh, you did? That's a wee thing. Are you going to go? Yeah, I committed. Wow.

I know. I know. Okay. That's a we thing. Yeah, you can go. I'd rather not watch it in public. Yeah. But. This is part of the deal.

Yeah, I committed. I committed. The time I was eating French fries and keglers and a guy put a cigarette out in my ketchup. That's amazing. He didn't give me a cigarette. The Buffalo Bills are an America's team. What a week

for those cats. Naheem Hines kicks it off with a return for a touchdown and then adds another. Well, he can kick it off. That was really something, huh? That was awesome. That was very cool. And then they go on to... Very uncharacteristic of the Patriot Special Teams unit.

They get behind to the Pats. You're wondering, do these guys want to see the Pats next week? But they end up pulling it out. Did you catch how they said everybody at the... The hospital in Cincinnati was going to go to great lengths to allow to get DeMar to watch the game. It's like, I don't know, turn it on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Great lengths.

Find the remote. Yeah, great lengths. It's a nationally televised game. Yeah. I think Donnie Romar is on the call. Demar's like, I got this. Yeah, yeah. Shoot, the remote's probably on the side of the bed.

So hopefully DeMar got to see the bills close out the radio. What an anxiety reliever for the entire country. You know, as the week went on, it was just like people were so uptight about this thing, understandably. I mean, the first couple nights, I was, I couldn't, I slept, but I was waking up and checking my phone. Like, I don't do that for anything. You're right.

And just for the league and for Damar and for the bills to get, you know, not only the whole game of life thing, but also the, you know, the Face Times, the, the Instagram posts, the Twitter posts like this this guy is good man and it happened before Sunday doesn't seem real so we could all get back to watching football big roge like sell some t-shirts yeah yeah yeah it's good for big roj yeah um very good stuff and finally i i reckon we'll will run the table with this one the Detroit lions not a not a cooler story in week 18 than Detroit with nothing to play for besides ruining the out of the food they went fugu they went fugu they went fugu they went foug They go out and...

What do you mean? Keith the Greenbacker... Well, in Japan, Kyle, have you ever been to Japan? No. There's a deli... You would be huge in Japan. There's a delicacy... Um...

Can you imagine him over there, though? I mean... Oh, God. No, so there's a delicacy called Fugu. It's one of the most dangerous fishes in the ocean... Is it a puffer fish? To eat, it's a puffer fish. Yeah.

It can only be prepared perfectly. Fugu chefs. And I was saying last week that in the... the event that Detroit is eliminated, how does Dan Campbell appeal to his team? Tell him to be like the Fugu. I do. You know, like they're trying to serve us up for dinner on Sunday night football for Aaron Rogers and for the country. We're going to get the Packers in. This is exactly what the brass wants. We're not, we don't, there's no, um, there's no qualified Fugu handler in the, in the Wisconsin area. And I was with you on that. I thought if anybody could get a team up in a

scenario like that, it would be Dan Campbell. But when, when the Rams were, we're, we're, we're driving to win it. Yeah. And then they weren't. Yeah. And they go to overtime and lose it. I was like, boom, that's got to be depleting. Huge deflation.

And yet, there we were. Jamal Williams. Y'all catch postgame Jamal Williams? Yeah, he's special. Range of emotions. They'll catch pregame intro, Jamal Williams? Yes. The guy's electric.

Stud. Yeah. And now the Detroit Lions's all-time all-time leader. I will say this about your point, seeing the Rams not win, and then the lions are eliminated before the game. It does kind of give. you that, okay, we only have four quarters of football left. Let's leave it out there. When you're playing spoiler, it's less...

And you can see the finish line now. It's less pressure pack than... And players know in the NFL, like, if we're out on this field, we have to play, or you get hurt. You know, like, you can't check out of something like that. And all these guys want to be a part of the future with the Detroit Lions because the future looks bright. So guys are going to play hard. And then the O.C. might call hook and ladder crack boss. How about it? That was awesome. On third and long. We're going to get to get to that in a little bit.

Who's your next America's team? That's five. That's five. Yeah, Kyle. Okay, so my America's team's number one, the Kansas City Chiefs. It's the football team with the most valuable player on it. And in my opinion, a guy that's really undervalued in the coach of the year discussion, Andy Reid. He should be in the conversation every single year.

They lost their number one weapon outside of Patrick, and they still found a way to get better offensively. Congrats, Andy. You were in the conversation, but Nick Siriani must cash. out this coach of the year. Brian Dable. Brian Dable, Kyle Shanahan. Better offensively, yeah? Yeah, I believe. So I think they're more well-rounded offensively. Okay. Number two, the Lions, they had the entire country on the edge of their seats last night. Spoilers, funny intros, redemption quarterbacks. Jared Goss, Ark has been a lot of fun this year. My God, that drive down the field, that gutsy throw and catch there to really seal the game, Penae Soule's arms in the

air. We were all Lions fans for a bit last night. Number three, Lovie Smith, quiet quitting and positioning himself to be in the Bears Hall of Fame. He's put an individual in the America's teams? Yes. Because he's without a team. Yes. So that's kind of free agent coach, Lovie Smith. Number four, Cincinnati Bengals.

One of the hottest teams of football, and without a doubt, this country loves watching Joe Burrow play the game of football. I may be projecting. I just really think he is the epitome of a quarterback. He looks like a quarterback, talks like a quarterback. He does central casting. Like, it doesn't get any better than that. Number five, the Buffalo Bills medical team and the U.S. Cincinnati Hospital Medical Staff.

I haven't gotten to shout out this week. Here's my shout-out. Okay, I got a stub hub for reminding me on Thursday as we taped amp that the, so I was supposed to go to this concert last week, remember, or Saturday night. I was going to D.C. to go see this kind of post. punk band from Belarus. Don't ask. But Thursday, as I like bragged about my weekend plans, Reed hopped on Stubhub and saw that the show was April 8th. So I'm in the group text with the guys all week. I'm sending my buddy in Airbnb on a Friday and he's like, we got plenty of time.

I'm like, I don't think we have plenty of time. So, you know, like I was pretty sure I was going to D.C. this weekend and I wasn't. But there's a loophole there. there's kind of a silver lining when you find out that the thing you got permission for you don't have to do anymore you can still go get drunk because you've already gotten permission for a block of time Saturday night to go hang out so that brings me to my second team my second America's team the businesses of Charlottesville the staple businesses of Charlottesville the charlestville business scene I want to shout out two businesses Saturday I went out and took my family out to Riverside that was great

Crown jewel. Riverside is one of the crown jewels of Charlottesville, Best Burger in town, and it's just so consistent. It's like they're doing the mic and drill back there. I mean, it's like, it's the same process. Tim Duncan in the pain. No, yeah, but it's just, it's automatic. They have it down to a science. And then I want to shout out dirty Nellies where we watch the game Saturday night, Jacksonville, Tennessee game. Not a lot of places in Charlottesville with TVs that you can watch a game and enjoy a cold beer, especially in a setting like Dirty Nellies. Actually brought cash to Dirty Nellies.

Whalen lost a tooth yesterday, called me twice about it while I was on the live stream. I felt terrible that I wasn't there to see it. But when I got home, we had to arrange the monies for the kid. And you remember there's a whole conversation about how much money you need to give a kid when he loses a tooth. Well, I kind of land on the, well, he didn't do anything to earn it. End of the spectrum.

And I don't want like, well, like a spoiled rich kid. Zach Wilson? No, yeah, I don't want my kid to be like Zach Wilson. Zach Wilson got like $500 every time he lost the tooth. You don't want expectations. So I gave him Dirty Nelly's singles. So he got singles from behind the bar at Dirty Nellies, which is kind of special. One day, I can't wait tell him about that.

Don't spend it all in one place. Well, and said, Dad, here's my cash tag. Yeah, right. There you go. Meg, when we pulled the $3 out of my pocket, Meg was like, that's plenty. I was like, out of a girl. Yeah. Yeah, she's on.

on the program with me. The Houston Texans. Houston Texans are the epitome of America. What can we do to help ourselves in the future? Fuck it. Let's win right now. Kind of a mankind joke as well. But the Houston Texans are in America's team.

That was awesome. No, it wasn't. It was awesome. It was awesome. Exciting time to be a Bears fan. It was Lovey Smith with the fuck you, fuck you. you're cool, I'm out dude, that was one of the best

quiet with a job walk-off side of it. Well, because he found out that he was getting fired before the game. What do you expect him to do? That Colts DB, who jumped six seconds before the ball was in his orbit, might have been on the take. It was like a Hail Mary. I wanted to come out here this morning

and say, man, the Colts or the Colts gave up a fourth and 12. They gave up a fourth and 20 on the last drive. But let me put this differently. the Houston Texans, who were contention for the first pick, converted a fourth in 12 and a fourth in 20, and then trotted out for a two-point conversion try, which they succeeded at and won the football game.

It's just absolutely incredible when you consider this as like a franchise altering. Yesterday was franchise altering. This is wild. You don't get to see that a lot in the NFL. One, quote-unquote, meaningless game is going to alter a franchise's future. Yeah. I mean, and the crazy thing, is like, is Houston

going to have too much pride to move back into that one spot? Like if they really like Bryce. Wow, yeah. You know what I mean? It's just it's insane to me that one drive changes so much and Chicago's on their way now. If they do the right things, Poles, Ian Cunningham, our guy. So yeah, like, and another

thing with the Texans is why bring in Levy Smith for a year and fire him when this seemed like, you know, this was what was going to happen the whole time. Why not keep David Cully on another year? It kind of makes you wonder if Cully was just like, I'm not with this.

I feel like nobody wants to be there. Because like why fire two coaches? And now the next coach is going to be the fifth coach in four years. So, and, you know, unfortunately, many of them black coaches. They just keep, like, hiring a black coach and firing a black coach. It really does kind of make a mockery of the process a little bit. I think they're going to keep going with that. You think?

Next man up, Josh McCown. Well, yeah, they almost hired Josh McCown. And can you remember when we were like, that'll never happen? They'll never hire a former player off the street to be an NFL head coach, not Jim Mersey, hold my beer. Josh McCown is the type of guy that could lead a group of guys, man. Yeah, but he can't be an NFL head coach right off the street. But I think he's definitely a guy you'd want in your meeting rooms talking to your players.

Hey, man, I'm going to say this because I know he's seen it, he'd be the first to tell you the shit's funny. But the fucking his whole spiel on, landing in St. Louis. Porn? Have you ever heard this? So great. Have you heard this?

I don't know. Okay, so Josh McCown's talking about porn. He's doing basically like a PSA for not watching porn. And he's like, it reminds me this one time I was headed to Detroit. And all of a sudden we land and the captain comes on and he's like, welcome to St. Louis. And everybody's like, how did we get here? And that's a lot like me when I'm standing in front of my laptop and I'm like, how did I get here?

Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Or his iPad or whatever he's using. It was definitely a desktop at that. But he's not doing that because this was like a PSA against masturbation. I just thought it was a pretty interesting analogy. You've never seen this?

It rings a bell now. Okay, well, put the... I'm trying to come up with the talking heads joke at the moment. Yeah, put... My beautiful house. How did I get here? How did I get here? Uh-huh.

Well, no, so, so, so read, put that in for the people... I guess I owe you one more. It's the Detroit Lions, man. The Detroit Lions. And lastly, the NFL. Okay, so I had Stubbub, the Detroit Lions, the businesses, Charlottes for the Houston Texans, and the NFL.

This is a week where everybody was pulling for us, except for Emily Radatowski. Fuck the NFL. I read that in the clickbait section. Why are we angry? Google. Yeah, what are we? Everybody's praying love for tomorrow.

You go fuck the NFL. This was a tough week for the NFL, but it was also a week where I felt like everybody was behind the NFL, which is a rarity. I can't believe nobody said Jacksonville. If they were in a bigger market, that would be a huge story. Yeah, it's a huge story. It is a huge story.

Go ahead. Yeah, I can address that. I don't like Jacksonville. I just don't, I don't let... The town? The team, like Doug, like Doug. Love Doug. Like Doug.

What's not likeable about Jacksonville? I love Trevor Lawrence. Christian Kirk, kind of, Christian Kirk, everybody making fun of the contract. And he goes out and ball out. You hate Evan Ingram, yet he played really well this year. I feel like the Titans out played him. Yeah. Maybe so.

I mean, it's not like they got a bad whistler. Yeah, they went out and earned it. It was a big play. It was a big play. It was a big play. Yeah, I don't know. You still haven't given us a real reason. They got rid of the Hooters at the landing.

That's it. Yeah. That's it. It has nothing to do with the Jags. That was the only place we went for the Gator Bowl. We were down the landing. They still have delightfully tagging yet unrefined establishments down there. I hear Hooters isn't doing too well right now.

We were out there running on, we were running on wings, man, out there at the... Yeah, you can tell. I was just, yeah, well... Michael Crabtree wasn't. Crabtree wasn't running. No, I did see him at the landing. He might have been heading to the Hooters. Okay.

This is a funny headline. Sorry, but fuck the NFL. Emily Radikowski is pissed after Demar Hamlin suffers life-threatening cardiac arrest during an NFL game. That's one way to just get mad. Okay. Fuck.

All right, now we get to vote on the worst interception of the week. This is going to be fun because there were so many bad picks yesterday. We had like, you know, the word I was looking for with my son and tooth fairy was entitled.

There you go. But there were a lot of backup quarterbacks out on the field, guys that, like, you know, you turn the lights on, they're like, where am I? Like, am I out on an NFL field right now? I thought I was going to be collecting checks all year backing up, whoever. But there were an incredible amount of, like, I'm going to go all the way with this interception kind of picks. Like, I'm not half-ass throwing this pick.

Like, yeah, fuck it. Like, there were punts. There were so many punts on the field yesterday. Was it Boyle or Boyle from the Bears? Tim Boyle threw a ball up that looked like. Remember we used to play five. 100 on the playground. $4.99 and just chuck it up there.

That's what he did. I mean, that's what we were seeing yesterday. Well, that was incredible. That was one of them. The Boyle pick was spectacular because they just took Peter Man out. They just took Peter Man out and Peter Man was playing too well and the Bears need those picks. So they were like, yeah, we're going to put Boyle in. And he just throws like a 22-yard net punt.

It was awesome. It was one of the best picks of the day. Week 18 is like Twilight Zone. David Blow had two. David, yeah. It was returned Patrick. So not a, it was actually a net, net negative, whatever. But 22 yards accurate, but there's no bear in the screen.

Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. David Blau had two absolute punts. And Sam Hal. And the Sam Hal pick might be my favorite, actually. He threw it into three Cowboys in the end zone.

That was a heat check. He wasn't particularly pressured either. just was like, fuck it, what down was that? It's like, Cam Sims is going to get this touchdown. You would think that was a two-point conversion in overtime. Yes.

You know? Clean pocket. You had Rogers, which is... The Rogers' pick was iconic because it might be his last at Lambo. And almost was... It actually ended up being

his last play, thanks to the lions grinding that thing out in four-minute mode, which is just it's very fitting. that they held the ball last. But Rogers, fuck the hot route on 3rd and 10. I'm just going to throw a moon ball. To guess who, it is Kirby Joseph.

We go admin on Kirby Joseph and Aaron Rogers. I'll chef something up. Who Kirby picked Rogers off three times this year. It would have been four hands of the face. Yeah, the hands of the face on, what's his name, 79. The Aaron throw to A.J. Dillon on 2nd and 10 with Aaron Rogers getting pressure in his face. I mean, that's the game right there.

When that play happened, I was like, you get a third and long situation. I'm like, they're fucked. Yeah. They don't have a guy that they can say, oh, third and ten, let's throw to Keenan Allen. Yeah, but you know what? Like, I'm not, earlier in the season, I buy all those excuses, but when you show me that you can do it with Christian Watson and Dobbs and Tanya made a nice catch last night, and I'm looking up and I'm thinking early in that game, I'm like, you know what,

they have plenty of weapons. Just get the job done. You know, it's been two games now. The last two elimination games for them, been at home in inclement weather against Jimmy Garoppolo and Jared Gough. They didn't take advantage early, and they let the Lions make big plays to stop their drives. It was frustrating to watch. So back to the interceptions here was bad because it would have secured the cover. They were up 16-0, which, by the way, Kenny Goliday just murdered half of America there.

And you would have thought the Giants media pool had the Giants plus 13 because they were asking him shit like, did you keep the ball? He's like, what the fuck we lost? Well, it was one of those four catches. It was his first Giants touchdown ball. But I swear the Giants media had the Giants, the way they were huddled around his reporter like he was baby Jesus. And, you know, like, oh, not to mention Davis Webb trucking, Reed, Blankenshire. ship at the goal line. I mean, that was a tough cover.

Dak, the pick six, was terrible. That was his 15th, the worst in the league in the play before, as we were talking about, Fuller dropped the ball. So, Dax's in the running. Anthony Brown, we both laughed out loud at the pick he threw to Jesse Bates. And then Ellinger threw into the D-line

for a pick six. Great catch. It was. And then a duck into the goal line. I think Ellinger threw to the most opposing players per interception, which should be a stat. I think you threw to eight players and two interceptions. Within a five foot radius.

That's four enemies a pick. EPP, enemies per pick. I like that. Yeah, EPP. Sam Hal though, wins the day with three. That's my favorite interception of day. My favorite part about it was they didn't need it. Yeah, 26 to 6.

And that was on second down, Sam Howell. Yeah, second goals. I'll give this award to Tim Boyle. Yeah. If that is indeed his name. Just because there's no bear in the shot, just lofts it up there.

It was pretty. Yeah. It's laugh out loud stuff. Aesthetically pleasing. Yep. Yep. For the number one pictures. Yep.

Yeah. Here, clown noises and shit, circus noises. Go ahead. Who's your pick of the week? It's got to be Boyle as well. Okay. I just like howl, man. Dallas got beat by a kid with a neck beard,

was in college last year. That is not good. Yeah. Good looking kid. You think? Cowboys get a cowboy. Sam Hartman doesn't look the same in that Notre Dame uniform. I wanted to get your thoughts.

Still really, a really good-looking kid. Nah, just, he's so handsome. Who's the hottest quarterback in the playoffs? In the playoffs. Yeah. Give me five. Give me five minutes. Kyle, did you ever wear all blues?

in Chicago? I like that. Yeah. Looks pretty good. Did you like that? Look pretty good. Yeah, I thought so too. I remarked the same.

They come with the gray face mask. They take the logo off the helmet. Well, not yesterday. Not yesterday. The throwbacks, the all blue throw. I hear you there, but did you ever wear the normal kit, all blues? I want to see it closer. Because I don't think that they did some weird.

They did the orange unies this year. I did a look at it. I didn't like the orange unies this year. I don't like the orange unis either. It looks like they've, they have an NIL program. Yes. built the image of God. You think so? Yeah. Okay.

Why don't we start with the NFC, man? Last night, the one game that you can really just sink in and talk about, because it was a really great game, low-scoring, fun. We were talking about it before the game. I thought it might be low-scoring. And, you know, the weather probably played a factor,

gloved Jared Goff, not my favorite version of Jared Goff. He was throwing some ducks early. At least he was missing low a lot, avoiding the catastrophes. But overall, I think more than anything, I was just heartbroken for the Lions as the Rams game came to a close. and I actually texted Michael Brockers and was like, are y'all watching this game in the fourth quarter like, don't lie to me?

And he's like, we're not even looking at it. He goes, how are they playing? And I go, the Rams are actually not to jinx it, which I kind of did, but it looks like they're going to go in and score here. It was at the end of the half. But the bottom line is, if I'm to believe Michael Brockers, it's not like the teams huddled around a TV.

They had one mission that day. They had one mission, and that, was to win that football game. I'm sure it hurt to find out when they found out or when they saw that the Rams did not win, but you heard Dan Campbell. He didn't make any bones about it. We're trying to win so they don't go to the playoffs. And I think sometimes you forget Detroit and Green Bay is not a rivalry, but this is a team that's just been getting the shit kicked out of them by Green Bay for a decade longer than that. And you even hear the way Aaron Rogers talks about his opponents, particularly Detroit in Chicago.

He just makes a mockery of him. Yeah, well. And it's, it happens on the field, but it happens at the podium too. Well, not last night. Detroit's fed up with it. Not last night. And I thought Jared Goff had his moments early where he wasn't great. But I also thought, hey, that throw off his back foot for a touchdown, 45 yards or whatever it was, was a dart.

He made a great throw on the Jamison Williams, flea flicker touchdown. They got called back. You know, he delivered late. they possessed the football when they needed to. The defense played well. Hutchinson had two sacks in the first half. Bugs was great. Love this kid Bugs.

Defensive tackle. Perfect name for a defensive tackle. Bugs with two Gs. And he's a hit man. Kirby Joseph with a pick. Picked him off twice, as we mentioned. Dan Campbell's out there. We talked about this.

His nose is freezing off. Yeah. I guess that's a circulation thing. I'm praying for Dan Campbell. Love for Dan Campbell's nose. He's become a dome player. Yeah, yeah. But he's out there.

He's taking chances. Him and Ben Johnson are taking chances. Flea flickers. The hook and lateral. The hook and ladder on, what was it, second and 17? Letting Penae Sewell get out front. Yep, yep. Fourth and two down 16, 13.

They're going for it. And then they go quick on fourth and two with the game on the line, which really caught the Packers off guard. And they were out of sorts, man, on defense. They just were like, Rassoul Douglas made that mistake on the field. field goal, which made it an easier field goal. I don't know what he was looking at.

You guys said, do you think he? So what happens sometimes is the timeouts taken and the lions aren't going to get the field goal off. So what they do is they still work the procedure. And Macon and I were talking about this as a possibility. The whistle blows. Everybody on the field hears the whistle blows, but the long snapper says, let's still get a snap off here.

Right. So he goes to snap it. Rassul hears it. He's like, no, no, no, get in there. get the ball out, the whistle blue, and now there's an ensuing riot after the play. What people didn't see was Rasul Douglas hit the right tackle from the lions,

which ended up being the penalty. They cut away from it on the TV. Well, no, so I'm seeing now, like watching this, like the ref before he hits the ball is signaling. And I think, and Rasul looks to the left. He sees timeout on the sidelines. So he's like, yeah, okay.

So soon's reacting to timeout. Initially, I thought in real time, I thought the, the, the snapperhead moved the ball. Got it. And like they tell defensive linemen just go, you know, encroach in situations like that, force the call because a lot of times they won't call something like that, but they're afraid not to because, you know, a guy just walks across.

Now everybody's looking at it. That'd be a V casual encroachment. That would be a very most casual encroachment of all the time. And, you know, all it ends up being is a fucking Kevin Garnett deal. You know, how Kevin Garnett used to like... Anything's possible. No, he used to block every... shot after. Yeah, goaltim.

Was it Alan Iverson that shot all the way over him? I don't know, but I... I'm happy he did. I used to annoy the shit out of me. You don't want to let him see it go in. Yeah, and that's all he's doing. Now, I can't say the same for Quay Walker. Quay. That's a pretty weird problem to have here, Quay. A pushing problem. Keep pushing people.

Yeah, but like, not players. Right. Staff members. What twice in one year? I know. It's incredible. He's the only player they said as he walked out of the tunnel to be ejected twice this year. Yeah. I mean, it was surreal, dude.

It was just like he just has this impulse to push people. And then who is this that runs up on the trainer and gives him a body to? Wyatt. Yeah, Devon. Hey, Wyatt. Yeah, like, what are they doing, bro?

What are you doing? Like, what? It's DeMar Hamlin week, man. The guy just got resuscitated by NFL staff members on an NFL field. Did you miss the entire season? I don't know what's worse.

He's definitely a hollow man, but so is the guy in Pittsburgh who did CPR as a sack celebration on Alex Highsmith. Oh, I missed that. He didn't lay in the ground. He got a sack, he lays on the ground, they resuscitate him. Which is a common, I'm not going to.

But it's just the wrong time. I don't think he realized it in the moment. I think he saw him laying there, and his muscle memory went in. Like, no, no, he was. I thought it was a trip, like a poor taste tribute. If that's a poor taste tribute, they should run the guy out of the league. That's what I think, really.

His Madden Awareness should go down to a three. If it was just like impulse, I kind of get, I don't get it. Making it sing it for the first time and his jaw is on the floor. Okay, let me see what Highsmith does. He's like, what are you doing? Wow. Wow, buddy, I'm going to run away. Had planned like weeks before and didn't like rethink it.

No, I think I think. So now that I'm singing again, it looks like High Smith didn't know it was going to happen. No, he didn't. He didn't. And the guy started doing it to him, and he's like, who is the guy that we're running out of the league? Oh my God. This is just.

So anyways, yeah. Quay Walker, who's my, who was my defensive rookie of the ear pick? He is making a push. And they put Highsmith's name attached to this, Chris. Ah, got it. There he go. He's making a push.

Chris. They attach Highsmith's name to the worst possible sax celebration. Well, that's because the producer has written Alex Highsmith into the search bar on Twitter. That's terrible, man. That's terrible. Okay, so, so yeah, we know the ramifications of this game. The Lions spoil things for the Packers.

The league is a big loser here, right? You know, because they won an Aaron Rogers in the playoffs. I'm mad. Well, and what we really found out we wanted was the Detroit Lions. I wanted the Packers. I didn't want it to the Lions in the playoffs. I wanted the Lions in the playoffs. I wanted the Lions in the playoffs, followed by the Packers,

which you can't have both, obviously, the way it went down. And then the Seahawks, because I think the Seahawks are food for San Francisco, rather. But, you know, for the league, it's tough. You lose out on Rogers. It's tantalizing. The lions, I think, what did they finish? Yeah, they finish seven and two. This is one of the best football teams in the NFL, you know, however you slice it.

But this is one of those unique situations where the – and I would say the Packers are one of the better teams in the NFL, but neither are going to the dance because they had these really bad stretches earlier in the season and now the Packers when you look at it, Aaron Rogers is walking off the field and you guys caught the

Jameson Williams thing in real time. You didn't have to see that on Twitter right? Because I heard him and I was like, what did he say? Jameson Williams comes up, Axford, Jersey and Aaron Rogers says I think I'll hold on to this one and you know like immediately the speculation begins.

It doesn't surprise me at all. I think he probably is either leaving or is going to make sure that he postures like he's leaving, and this is step one. Oh, yeah. I mean, there's tons of microphones on the field. He knows that. He knows that.

He ain't dumb. He's smart cat. He's waiting for Randall Cobb. You know, they're waiting for one another. Randall sees one of his old teammates. All right. Aaron has to stop. Here's where I got to jump in.

Since when did Rogers and Cobb become fucking Ruth and Garing. Bro, I told you. These guys have been it for a long time. Bro, I told you. Let's forget the Lions. Let's forget the Seahawks. It's now about Aaron Rogers and Randall

walking off the field. That's a thing. Oh, my God. It's been a thing. That was nauseating. It's like H. He's Helen of Troy. He's Helen of Troy.

Remember what they had to do. Pippin all of a sudden. Fuck, Randle Cobb runs three yards off the line of scrimmage across the line. Catches a bunch of balls. All right. Rogers made a whole man. Rogers made a year-long stink about not coming back, and they gave him Randall Cobb, and he was like, I'm good.

Passifier. Yeah, here you go. Unbelievable. Oh, this is y'all's final game in Lambo? Cool. See ya. Well, listen, he can't retire because he's owed $59 million. All right.

What about that contract you signed, pal? Contracts, mon tracks. Little Shaw McVeigh over there. No, well, listen, I think he doesn't have a no-trade clause. Listen, LaFleur might be happy to ship him somewhere else. The guy's an amazing player. He's still great. But it's just been objectively a lot of tension up there.

It just feels like there's always tension. And maybe a team like the Jets, maybe a team like the Raiders, if they don't get Brady or whatever it is. Commanders? Maybe the commanders, although they don't have the assets of, say, you know, even a Seattle who might be in the running for a quarterback. I mean, Gina didn't look great yesterday. I know he set records, but let's be real for a second here.

I'm really happy about the Gino Smith story. I got a lot of respect for the guy. He had a great year. But do you think Seattle's like, yeah, he's our guy the next three years? Didn't Tyler Lockett say, yeah, I hope he is? Well, yeah, that's what they all say. I don't know. We'll see when we.

So anyways, that's kind of a subtle. That's a sidebar. and Gino could be a bridge for, you know, a younger guy. It would be a perfect situation in draft than Anthony Richardson if you fall in love for him. Gino will be 33 in October. Yeah, so he's older. You know, this has been kind of a one-year aberration. You figure there might be a regression to the mean.

They have a lot to work on defensively. But anyways, we're talking about Aaron Rogers. There's a lot of teams that would love to have this version of Aaron Rogers, even if he is perpetually disgruntled. And so I think that probably is the last game you see Aaron Rogers play at Lambo. I think it's finally it. Is it? Well, I mean, it's such a run.

He's, you know, the most tenured guy in the National Football League. Yeah. And really puts it in perspective to me when Derek Carr got benched a couple weeks ago and left the building and he was the second longest tenure quarterback in the league. Aaron Rogers is far beyond that. He's synonymous with the green and gold. So for Packers fans, it sucks. They're going to have to figure something out.

But for the National Football League fans, we're going to have to hate another team because Aaron Rogers would probably be the quarterback. Yeah. He's a perfect villain, dude. I like him. He's developed into a perfect villain, man. It's like any villain origin story.

It's like when fucking, who's the guy in the wheelchair and X-Men? Professor Xavier. Professor X, Star Trek guy, is sitting in the wheelchair, and they do like a flashback. I'm pretty sure there was something in his youth where he got picked on by Brett Fav. You know, like Brett Favreve wasn't nice to him

and then, you know, this is what happens. And that's what the Aaron Rogers story. Is he was a good guy? Yeah. He was? Oh, you're thinking of Magneto. Magneto. No, it was Professor X is in the wheelchair.

He's a good guy. See, I'm confused about X-Men. I don't really pay attention to things that are realistic. Chris, good for you. Lord of the Rings, the big tall guy with the white beard. Uh-huh, Gandalf. Same character as Professor Xavier, kind of like the Overwatch. Isn't there an evil version of the old guy?

It's not just Magneto, is it? Oh, you're thinking of Bran. Am I? Brand. Brand wins. Yeah, all these motherfuckers that... It is typical for the hero to become the villain, though. Yeah, the hero becomes the villain.

That's a story arc. Or the prodigy becomes a villain. You know, there was something in Aaron Rogers' youth that made him this way, and that is Brett Favre. It wasn't the vaccine. Okay, Kyle. Hey, all right. You recall the Jay Wright retirement

juxtaposed by the Coach K farewell tour? It feels like we've gone through this with Aaron in the last three or four off seasons where he's always posturing and he always returns and good for him for staying in one place. But you've been paid. And maybe I walk back my irritation with it becoming a Rogers Randall

fucking walk-off story at the end of that game because Aaron didn't do this pre-game as one wouldn't when you think you're about to have the playoffs. He alluded to it. He alluded to it this week. Like as soon as he started kind of, you know, posturing

as soon as this game became one of intrigue, it was... Yeah, what do you do? I forgot. I hope, you know, I hope to continue play. You know, that kind of thing. We'll see. You never know what the future holds. I haven't started manifesting it yet. You know.

He's got a few guided meditations to do this week. And you know, plenty of time. Yeah. We're having some fun with the guy. He's a great football player. Great football player. Bad haircut. Yeah. I mean, he's a

supervillain. It's okay to be the super villain. And I'm kind of into the supervillain. I know you are. You like the jarhead and avatar. Yeah, he was all right. Same thing. Seemed like not a bad guy. Okay, so that means that the Seahawks are in. They're going to the playoffs, and Gino limps into the playoffs. Hey, does Gino have to buy Jared Gough a scooter now?

Is that kind of how this goes? Or find out would Jared Gough's charity of choices and donate yearly? You know, like the Andy Dalton thing? I wouldn't be surprised at something like that did happen. Yeah, Gino owes Jared Gough something. You got to send him something. Oh, thanks, Jared. I'm going to go get pounded.

into the ground by that 49ers front lose by 30. Playoff check though. Playoff check. Playoff check. Or. Or there is no war. There is no war. Gino did make a extra million dollars yesterday because he confirmed

played 80% of the snaps and made the playoffs. That's great. Nice. There's nothing cooler than hearing these guys get to their Yeah and Cairo Santos didn't have to kick a single football. These multi-millionaires have really had it tough. Good good for them adding adding to the old bank account.

That's what some people would say about you fucking real estate agents. You just walk in and tell me if there's any rate on and then you make like some exorbitant... No best is here. Cut of the sale. I mean, you guys are thieves. Oh, I'm sorry from protecting you from harmful gases that you can't see coming up from the soil.

I'm sorry for numbing your brain as I injure mind to pacify a society that's lost their fucking minds. Who? Who... presents more value. We could have robots be real estate agents. I was kind of responding. They're never going to replace

football players. I was responding to your brother's comment. They will replace real estate agents. Which I believe the line was nothing better than seeing those guys hit their incentives. Oh, nothing better than seeing you guys get fucking I don't know, world peace. Didn't we cure polio? Clean water?

Clean water. Rogers didn't like us cured polio. Chris, speaking of clean water, I was on the plane yesterday and coming back to Charlottesville and a lady and her kids walked up and they said, we love your work with water boys so much. My kids did a project on your water boys and I said, thank you. Tell them look at my face and I said, thank you. And look closely. You're welcome. I said, get out of here.

Stolen valor. I said, please get the fuck out of. So the Seahawks are in. Quandre Diggs ruins the Lions season, which is ironic because he's former Lion, not a big fan of the Lions. You get the Niners, they got to be ecstatic. It could have been San Francisco or Roxanne. It could have been Green Bay. It could have been the Lions.

Yeah. Even worse. And I think it's McVeigh's last game. I do. I think this is for real. But for now, right? Yeah. Maybe for now.

A little recharge, two years. I think he's doing a Gruden thing. Aaron Donald retire becomes the head coach. Just stay off the racist voicemails or emails. Is McVasen? No, no, no, no, no, I'm just saying. He's trying to do the Gruden thing. Maybe more like a Sean Payton thing.

He's trying to do the Gruden thing. Sons. No, remember Gruden left. Sons racism. Gruden retired early. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Went to the booth for a long time. Okay.

And then went back and coach the Raiders. Yeah, yeah. And I think, you know, honestly, I think, Gruden and McVeigh have Coaching Tree Connections. They're both Ohio guys. And I think McVeigh is... Gruden gave McVeigh's start.

Yeah, so I mean, I think there is some of McVeigh that's like I can do the exact same thing minus the racism and live my life on my terms. Like I don't have to clean up after the mess we made here in L.A. I probably know something about Matt Stafford that you don't know. I might not want to sit through this. I'm going to go sit next to, you know, Bill Cowr or Howie Long or whoever the fuck it is. And I'm going to collect a bigger check than I would have had I been,

Amazon's just giving money away, dude. Dude, it's crazy. They paid us more than they should. Or that are five and 12 next year. What do you pick? Yeah. I mean, listen, life's good for him. Life's real good for him.

He needs to just go enjoy it. Does Matt Stafford retire? he sees McVey go. I don't know. Like an elderly couple. It's like one after the other. Aaron Donald, I... It's like where the red friend grows.

I'm still a proponent of, especially if McVeigh's retiring and you're hitting the reset button, I just pray they trade Aaron for his sanity. And I pray they trade Jalen Ramsey. He's too damn good. I don't want to see him rot away there.

Did you see him yesterday? I mean, I would love to see them sell great assets for a lot of spare parts and start over. I mean, hope for Caleb Williams. Yeah, hope for Caleb Williams.

They could be in a great position for Caleb Williams. They have a draft pick in 2024 in the top in the first round. They'd have to go get one with all these assets. Yeah, they have to get one with the assets. So I think that's the end of the Sean McVehrer in L.A. Let's just not call it a retirement. he's stepping down. He's taking a stake station.

And at the top of the NFC, that's the bottom of the NFC, so we know who the 7 is. Everything was all kind of in place up to Sunday night. The Eagles, the Cowboys, and the Niners kind of playing in this little group of death there, week 18. You got to keep an eye on these guys. You could go one, you could go five if you're the Eagles and the Cowboys. Obviously, there was a variation of results that you could have had.

the San Francisco 49ers were not going to lose to Arizona. So you kind of felt that coming into it, even though they stumbled early. But the Eagles kind of took care of business. It was slow. It was a struggle. Obviously, if you bet the Giants or if you bet the Eagles, there was a lot of emotion involved in the end of the game. But it was just a flat performance by the Eagles.

They ran their offense. The offense didn't look the same. I mean, they didn't take a bunch of chances with Jalen, which I thought was smart. They talked about him sliding and they were getting the ball out. A lot of quick game. Just want to get him some reps before the playoffs. And that's the smart thing to do. I like that.

And keep that in mind when we talk about the Chargers. Ooh! But, you know, the Eagles, there were various junctures in the game where you might be like, hey, his game's over, pull the guys. They kept running their offense, which I thought was the smart thing to do. The defense was in there late. But ultimately, they took care of business. And, you know, if you look at the other TV and DAC, you know, Dr. Fax on the live stream yesterday,

it was like, Dak's playing like that Housewives commercial. I just want to talk to you. Yeah. I thought that was pretty damn funny. But, you know, 14 or 37. He played his worst game. Maybe as a pro. Considering the circumstance.

He's going to okey-doke all y'all. All y'all are going to get on the bucks. I thought I was going to be like Mr. Sharp this week and bet the bucks. But now I feel like that's ruined because the rules. Yeah, the rules go the other way now. But I'm not betting the Cowboys. I cannot wait to bet the bucks on Monday night. I'm wearing a Keem Hicks jersey.

It's going to be a big chase. Playoff of Keem Hicks. Come on. Everybody's going to be on the Giants too. You're going to stick with that? Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

Watch out. Look at the lines real quick. Look at the lines real quick. Look at them. I have them. You have them as we go through this. But, you know, Dak and the Cowboys,

can you imagine playing for possibly home field advantage? This also might speak to how focused they are if they're looking at the Eagles game and that sort of thing. I mean, they got their asses kicked yesterday. Dallas by a field goal. Dallas is not to be trusted. I'm not looking.

I'm looking away from the screen. Field goal. And probably Vikings by. field goal, yeah? It would have been four and a half. Just over. Yeah, I got lucky. Yeah. Vikings, three and a half. You get $20. Giants. Okay, I like that hook for the Giants.

Giants three and a half. I got the Giants. Ravens catching six and a half. Eleven? Well, they're hedging for Skyler Thompson. Yeah. That's the biggest line of the weekend. Yeah. What's the latest that can change? Up until a kick. Fucking Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

I don't know. kickoff. K-Kee how much request you. No, no. They move up until Kiko. The 49ers line moved just in the time we've been talking. Ten and a half. Goodness gracious.

Tough to see the board this weekend as well. Oh, I'm seeing it. You are? Niners by a million. Yeah. Bills by a million. Jags. Jags by 105 points.

No, not 105 points. That means plus one. I can't look at the Dolphins game. I don't know who's playing. I can't look at that. But, you know, the bottom line is... I can be two. I think it's 34 to 10. What about the Bengals? I do glean a lot at six and a half points.

Bengals, boat race. I like the Bengals. Dude, are the Ravens back? Six weeks. Or is Lamar back? It sounds like he could have been back to order now. That game stands out to me as one that could be either the least interesting game or the most interesting game of the week because Lamar Jackson is Superman and we forget that. If he's out on the field, he's going to be doing Superman's shit. Yeah, I just feel like this match.

of is so different from the first one this season. These teams are in such different places, the one where Baltimore beat Sincere. Baltimore players either don't feel good about Lamar playing or they're doing a really good job of selling it. Because if you read their quotes in postgame, it sounds like... Like, man, we don't know.

We hope... There was a quote from Isaiah likely that was like, Lamar will always be family. You know, like, and I don't know if maybe internally, and you know how this is. sometimes players know all the time way more than everybody else does outside the building. Maybe there's a feeling in that building that he's played his last game in Baltimore. You know, I don't mean to speculate, but they're trying to keep speculation coming.

You know, if he doesn't play, it might not be any more Lamar Jackson in Baltimore. Yeah. Did you see what Joe Burrough said about his championship window? This is amazing. It's as long as I play. It's always open. The window is my whole career. our window is always open.

Hey, I'm down for a big teaser this weekend. Making just threw me a teaser. They all look. San Francisco minus three, Buffalo minus four. What's teaser? Teaser is when you put, okay, for people at home, I'll do this. Teaser is when you take a couple of games and you manipulate the lines because in a teaser you actually, like say a two team teaser, you take two lines.

If you don't, if you don't love both of them, you can move the line in any direction you pleased by six points. You can also buy up to a point at most books. So say the Bengals are favored by seven, you can get that down to almost to pick them, but that has to hit and another game that you tease with that has to hit.

So say, it's like a customizable far-lash. So say you think the Jags are going to catch, you know, Jags are favored by one. You can move the line six points. They could be almost a touchdown dog. But you have to buy each of those points. Both of those. And it doesn't pay out like three to one or four to one unless you do like a six-team teaser.

Gotcha. Two-team teasers going to pay out even money. I like teasers. Yeah, teasers. Well, that's why they're called teasers. Everybody likes them until they look up at the end of Sunday and you're like, God, Bob Saggett.

So, yeah, I mean, the Niners, the one concern for the Niners there is this corner man. The Amador Lenore, who's got a cool name that rhymes, has been picked on as of late. And, you know, it's probably... Probably stems from his rhyming name. Certainly a good thing for them that they're not. playing a team that's got a little bit more vertical passing prowess and a team that they just took care of a couple weeks ago. I know you got D.K. and Tyler Lockett and that sort of thing. They just don't scare me as much as Aaron Rogers. You know, when they've got Charverius Ward on the

other side, right? Jimmy Ward. Jimmy Ward, who's older. They don't have a ton of team speed. Why don't I say Charverius? Because there is a Charvarius Ward. Oh, I played with him. You played with him. I was going to say. the back end of that defense isn't that fast if there's any flaw and they've had some coverage breakdowns this year but this is a corner that people have been picking on

Diomodore yep you got it I like that safety Hufanga Tila Hufanga is a beast dude flies around out there he takes a lot of chances so yeah I mean we got through the NFC there

I mean that's pretty much everything Let's talk about the AFC a little bit. We talked about, obviously, the Colts and the Texans and everything that's going to go down there from a draft standpoint. But Baltimore, we mentioned the uncertainty with Lamar. Miami slides in. What do you do with Tua? That's going to be the question, right?

I mean, like, only they know where he is. I think the bills are probably looking at this thing like this. This team played us tough two times this year. Not the best matchup for us if he plays. Skylar Thompson, of course, is probably food for them. There was a moment in that Dolphins game yesterday where Jets plus three and a half was petrifying, dude. There was a moment where that ball was squirting back towards the pylon.

Well, and then it happened. And then it went out the end zone. And there was a moment where guys were like, is there a safety? Are we going to lose by five here? or the dolphin's going to cover. So if you had Jets plus three and a half, I know your heart stopped yesterday. Yeah.

11 to 6. 11.6. And then he got the NL East. The other option. Teddy, which it's, do we know, is it a finger? It's a finger. Fingers are tough.

Fingers are tough. Fingers are tough. The smaller the bone, the tougher the healing process. I feel like. I was like, that was something. There's a lot of me. Well, that's also,

there's a lot of mechanics. mixed with the finger, Kyle. You know, it's not like, you know, I fractured my, you know, femur. Yeah. Not that simple, you know. Terrell Owens can play with that. Exactly. No, if you want to count all the joints on your fingers, you know, you think you'd only count

to five using your fingers one hand, but really one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve. I can count to twelve on one hand. Yeah, see? Using my thumb. Imagine what Teddy's going through. The Bills, man. that game, you know, finishing the AFC off here was, it was like scripted.

It was like somebody scripted it. It could have been. The kickoff return for a touchdown. Another kickoff return for a touchdown. John Brown and Naheem Hines giving them some of their best plays. Totally unexpected. You know, if you told, you know, hey, in one of the biggest games of the season, you're going to get this lift from these two guys. they weren't even there.

You know, um, so on a day when the offense sputtered a little bit, and for much of the game, Mack Jones and Matt Patricia and Joe Judge, the triumph writ. They were born. They were doing a good job.

Holy Trinity. They were doing a nice job. If only you could fix the special teams, if only there was a special teams coach on the staff. You know? Yeah. For Bill, it,

it's got to be disappointing, man because now you've lost the game the biggest game of your season on special teams make no mistake about it the two kicks for touchdowns if you return if you give up a kick a special teams or defensive touchdown on the road in the NFL your chances of winning are not high now go give up two now kick a ball out of bounds on a kickoff you know there's all these things add up and you know if you look at the way they've lost a couple of these games late in the season you lose on special teams this Sunday. You lose on a on a fumble inside the

five-yard line against Cincinnati. Remandre Steven. I know. Who fumbled again yesterday. Got it back. In the very next week, you get a call that goes against you in the same same kind of context. No question in Miami. And then you also lose on the

pitch. Yeah. On the throwback. On a touchdown that shouldn't have counted that is my least favorite play this season to the Raiders. The Raiders. And they didn't have to have a one freaking camera. But, you know, what I mean to say is that Bill Belichick prides himself on ball security. He prides himself on smart football.

They want to play special teams. They lost in all those ways at the end of this season. It's like limiting self-inflicted wounds. Just like, yeah. I mean, and they're all SIWs. This isn't that. But remember when they lost 33 to 14 to the team with the number one overall pick? Yep.

At home. That was tough. It was tough. It was tough for some. And they end up being one game away. It was really tough. So, yeah, I mean, like... Who's the quarterback next year?

Who? Who's the quarterback next year? Who? Mac Jones. 14th overall pick. Yeah, Mac Jones. Bailey Zappy. I think Mac Jones is salvageable.

Okay. I do. I think the offense sucks. They showed me some stuff yesterday. Even though they showed some promise yesterday, I'm not going to be... I'm not going to jump on the bandwagon and just say that this kid is ass because he's had one subpar year.

His OC was Matt Patricia for goodness sake. This stuff matters. And it's not like, you know, we almost, we almost aren't as hard on the lack of weapons in New England because you're just so used to it. You're just like, we'll figure it out. Yeah, they'll figure it out. Like, you know, Devante Parker. Yeah.

Jacoby Myers. A couple tight ends are paying a billion dollars and, you know, like. A couple frat boys that tight end. I feel like they'll be better next year. Could be wrong. But, yeah, that's a tough way for them to end the season. And the judon injury at the end. He did walk off, but it was brutal to see.

Good. And he had an amazing year. And Uche. Talk about Uche? I mean, lead the league in sacks in the second half of the season. Uche was awesome. Double-digit sacks. So there's promise there for New England.

Like you have two edge rushers. I like your backs. That's kind of it. Jack Jones, Jonathan John. I like your fans. And another thing, Jack Jones was suspended for not doing treatment. And so like all these things that I can just hear Bill harping on this stuff, it all hurts you at the end of the season. And it's got to be a tough pill to swallow.

Great name, Jack Jones. Jack Jones, yeah. Coltrane. So I think if you look ahead to the playoffs, Macon doesn't like the slate. I actually am pretty excited about it. Well, and then you go and watch them. Get a bunch of rematches. It's highly dependent on the roster situation.

It's highly dependent on the health. Highly dependent? On health for a lot of these matchups. Well, the charges, we mentioned the short week, them having to go east. They've got injuries. That's fucking brutal. You know, Minnesota's got injuries up front with O'Neill and Schlotman out. Going to the charges, what did you think of them playing their guys in a relatively meaningful this game?

So I'm not going to change my- So I'm not going to change my tune on this. I think it's okay to play your players and keep them in rhythm. I just think you shouldn't keep them in there too long. You know, the longer games go, the more chances of injuries there are. I don't know when Bosa got hurt, what quarter it was. Second quarter. There's also reports that he's not hurt.

Kenneth Walker had to leave with an injury. Mike Williams in the back. You watch the Mike Williams play. That play happens 100 times every Sunday. But not if you're not playing. But not if you're not playing. But the Eagles played people longer than they might have should have. You know, the Cowboys certainly played people longer than they should have.

People get away with this stuff all the way all the time. But it's one of these things that, and obviously, I hate to be cap, no obvious here, you only get yelled at if somebody gets hurt. Right. And I just am not, you know, having played in the NFL, no offense to pull the card, but I know how rusty teams can get off a buy. Like that's a common thing But won't you also give

Brian Dable his flowers That they're going to be going in 100% healthy Into Minnesota I didn't say that Okay In the last 10 seasons Teams that rested their starters in week In the final week of the season

They lost their first playoff game 79% of the time Damn bro And But But analytics But a The Chargers

Austin Eccler took a shot late in the third quarter Keenan Allen played until the final series. He was still on the field on the final series. Feeler and Lindley on the O-line. See, I think that's too long. I think there's a middle ground. You want to get your guys reps.

You see what the Chargers look like without Mike Williams? They're different. No question. But again, you're dealing in, you know, I mean, it's hindsight's 2020. It's so easy to say, well, look at Brandon Staley. He fucked this up. Mike Williams got tackled.

He could get tackled in the first quarter next week. And Lindsay being, in, I know he's not 100% healthy, but the numbers in which you're working with from an aligned perspective that limits what you can do. You can't take a guy out because if you put your swing guy in, you can get somebody really hurt. Why do

preseason? Why do anything? Why practice? You see where this goes? There's a point. You know, my whole thing is, well, I didn't even know Reed's analytics, but, you know, like I've seen teams sluggish for a quarter and a half coming off a buy, and if you're not that good,

that can get you beat. Yep. And so, you know, like, it'd be easy for me to pile on Brandon. There's plenty of things I don't like about Brandon Staley. I'd fire his ass for this. This is fireable. Jack's going to go beat him by 10 points, and he hire Sean Payton. Because Mike Williams wasn't out there. Well, you would fire him because you know Sean Peyton's available. Yeah.

Like, you're just looking for an excuse. Well, yeah, I am on that train. So we'll see. Maybe Mike Williams is good by Sunday. I don't know. And maybe Joey Bosa wasn't hurt. at all. But a groin's tricky, man. Speaking of, Lane Johnson's got an adductor and that's

going to be interesting to see another reason. This is when a buy really matters, right? Like, when you're the one seed and you have home field advantage, you want to get that buy. And Jalen Hertz has got a shoulder, so that helps. Lane's got the adductor.

There's some guys that you need to get a lot of. You see, J. Gardner Johnson. Healthy. But I just don't know. Like, the charges just got good. You know, it would have been a tough decision, tougher than it looks on the surface for me. But he could get fired and Sean Payton could be the coach because of this. And the Chargers defense looks a lot different with Joey Bosa in and out as pertains to containing the quarterback, containing the run game.

Yeah. Which this Jaguars team, Trevor Lawrence, can hurt you with his legs, you know, extending plays. And ETN has played really well the last couple weeks coming into the playoffs. beat him 3810 in the first game, got a lot of pressure the Jags did on Justin Herbert. Their offensive line was really struggling at that junction. He was heard by that point, right? Herbert, yeah. And I think that's part of it, too, is like I think Herbert was banged up longer

than we thought this year. And don't short sell the secondary of this Chargers unit. I watch them play the Chiefs every time, and they play not only the receiver's tough and physical, but the tight end, it's a long day at the office. Travis Kelsey takes shots every time from Derwin James that they play. Evan Ingram's going to have his hands full. And Arnold. Dan Arnold.

Is it Dan Arnold? Dan. Yeah. Can't forget about him. And Neiman. Neiman? Yeah. How about your guy, what's his name? Number 50 for the Packers.

Tom. Zach Tom. Two first names. He played every position except for center. You know he violates tempo in practice. Yeah. I mean. With a number like 50 and a name like Zach Tom.

It seems like he doesn't wear like gloves or swag. Jack Tom definitely blocks you way. past the whistle. He definitely goes we in the shower. You think? Yeah. You anti? I actually am. You ever pooped in the shower? No, I haven't even gone. You just step on it. I haven't even gone. One. Oh my God.

No, I'm raising my hand. This is my new, new protocol. Somebody says something so absurd. It's just a segue. Yeah. No, but peeing in the shower. If it's your shower, no problem. No, I know most people do it. I just... You just don't do it. Yeah. Pee in the shower while you shower with your wife. Just an opportunity for you to flex that you don't pee in the shower. I don't think it's a flex.

Yeah. No, I think I'm probably in the minority. Kingston, you pee in the shower? If it's your own shower, I'm fine with it. Do you pee in the shower? Occasionally? This isn't a difficult conversation. God damn.

Simple question, Norm. Hey, read, read. Read. Do you pee in the shower? For sure. Speaking of peeing. Yeah. Kate got one of those lights that you clip on the inside of your toilet bowl.

Yeah. So when I wake up in the bat and the, middle of the night to go pee I don't have to turn on lights. You got a target. That's really smart, glowing toilet bowl. And it's awesome. Wow, cool. I think she's tired of you peeing all over the wall in the dark.

No, it's because I turn the lights on. No, yeah. But it's good. I just be in the shower in the middle of the night. I just don't get up in the middle of night. It's a bigger target. Just open the shower door. Zach Tom does.

Zach Tom might be a sink guy. He just pees on the floor. Okay. So let's do mentions. Miller Light mentions. Good clean show, Kyle, and make. I mean, we're almost done, huh? Yeah.

Hey, week 18, huh? There's not much to talk about. I know. Should I kick it off here? Well, I was going to be a little more ceremonious about week 18, but yeah. Go ahead. Do your ceremonies. All right.

Well, you know, it's the end of the regular season. We found ourselves in here, what, damn near 18 weeks. Been a delight. Not like we won't be here next Monday morning. but we'll have a lot less to talk about. We're more in depth. Yeah. I just wanted to present y'all with actually a couple of gifts, if you wouldn't mind.

Gifts? Yeah, gifts. Yeah, I'd love a gift. Like moving pictures? Close out the regular season. Chris here? I'm terrified. Got you a pair of headphones.

They only work out of one ear. Who chewed the base of these? Yeah, that's a mystery to me too. And, Kyle, here's one of two stress balls. Thanks. Will he get the stress ball? Actually, I really don't. No, no, no, I don't want people touching that.

I've already done it. Now, come on, dude. One of my kids was born when I was grasping that. So that's a not, that's, you're not really giving him that? No, can I get those headphones? The best moments in a sports fan's life are in football season. I'm not talking about September. I'm not talking about the first week in October.

I'm not even talking about the second week in October. I'm talking about when it gets colder, the temperature drops, the games get bigger, the hits get harder, and you can curl up and watch some, meaningful football. I like to do it with a Miller Light from the fridge and a cold frosty mug from the freezer. Frosty mug meat, a cold, beautiful can of Miller Light from my fridge. That's teamwork. We come together. We can make a great play out there. And the best play to make on a Sunday is a nice, cold Miller Light and a frosty mug at home. That's my favorite thing. Maybe a fire in the

fireplace. Yeah, now we're talking. But Miller Light, it's an original and it's more than that. It's been a fan favorite since 1975. The best part, no matter how your team plays, Miller Light is always a winner. The perfect beer for Sundays, I gave you the hot tip. Having that frosty mug is a lot like having home field advantage. I mean, like, it just makes everything better for your boy and your boy's friends who file in every Sunday to enjoy cold, ice cold Miller Light at my house. I mean, we have a lot of people over, and I got to have the Miller Light stocked up. up. A lot of light beer cuts back on the most crucial ingredient flavor, which is 96 calories and 3.2 carbs for 12 ounce serving. Miller Light, quick on its feet, heavy hitting on flavor.

No wonder it's been MVP from day one. This football season, enjoy the sweet taste of victory with Miller Light, the original light beer. Find it pretty much anywhere beer is sold. Go to Millerlight.com slash green light for delivery options near you. It's Miller time. Celebrate responsibly. Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces. Kyle, kick off our Miller Light mentions. Yeah, Miller Light mentions.

Best flight, the Detroit Lions riding off into the sunset. Eliminated. Yes, sir. It's rare that you get to feel really good about going on vacation. Yeah. You know, you're just like, hey, we're basically a playoff team. Everybody's drunk on Expedia on the flight, looking their vacations.

Because you know you're not staying in Detroit. Detroit. Yeah. Worst flight. It's got to be the Tennessee Titans. Seven straight losses. Beed by the division rival. Late at night.

They missed the playoffs for the first time since 2018. Thanksgiving, Jacksonville, was 3 and 7. Tennessee was 7 and 3. It's just a wild finish there. So, yeah, best and worst. Those are nice picks, Kyle. I went to Troy as well, best playing ride. And I went Dallas with the worst.

Oh, yeah. It is a rivalry, Dallas and Washington, and Dak didn't quite get into a groove, missing 23 passes. I don't think you're going to Tampa with a whole lot of confidence. And it was cold. Tampa. There's a little freezing rain coming down in D.C.

And you're cold, you're wet, your losers, and now you've got to go face the goat on the road. Your suit or your sweatsuit is wet getting on the plane. The number one seed in theory. was there for the taking at the beginning of the day. That's brutal. Turned out it didn't matter, but it's, it's just, it's a stink that's hard to, you know?

Yep. And yet, look out. It's like, I feel like if you put on a really nice outfit, like the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, fucking, uh, tuxedo? Yeah, they got their, uh, what's, what's, uh, cowboy hats? No, what's everybody do now with the, uh, they taggues. them on Instagram their their their outfits

the guys in the league you're not going to know this they tag their their outfitters Quinn and Williams is a big designer designer yeah they got a nice outfit on oh they're headed somewhere nice and then you gotta take a big shit you know then you think your clothes might stink you know I don't know if you guys prescribed to this but I don't

yeah if I got a poop before some I got to go somewhere nice I'm gonna take a shower after yeah cowboys don't get a chance to take a shower after they go into the playoffs they kind of smell like poop. Neither do I. You know? That's a good analogy. No, no, I think it is. No, I don't know if it's a good analogy. Yeah.

It's fashion ova. And like, is what I was thinking about. You know, all these guys get their fashion over outfits on now. What do you have for best flight? My best flight is, uh, my best flight is, um, everybody's like, somebody shit. No, like, cowboys are here. They had to go before, right before the event. Okay.

Might work in their favor, though, because Tom's all about hygiene. Yeah, right, right. This guy's smell like poop. Yeah. I'm going to go good flight the Chiefs. Oh, somebody just shit. Somebody. I'm going to go to the Chiefs, man.

It's early. They're like, they have a ton of time to get a jump on their opponent. They get to watch all the games. It's a good answer. You know, it's a shortish flight. The cover. Number one season. And knowing these guys, there's probably a couple chiefs at the National Championship.

Another great thing is I got to. The Chiefs were on TV. Now, Riverside. had the UVA men's basketball game on. Congratulations to Coach Bennett for breaking the Virginia record. Also shout out Terry Holland. Just good vibes all around. He's got a scroll buried under the court there at half court.

Break all that's a couple years. That's cool. You guys know that there was a piece of paper under there? Aren't you just in the fucking know? Hey, John Paul Jones, didn't know anything about him, did some research on him? Pretty awesome. Which one? The admiral or the father of?

Okay. Okay, because he's not the guy or the lead zeppelin. That's right. There's a lot of John Paul Admiral isn't John Paul Jones Arena. No, but we do have a painting. In my mind, the father of the U.S. Navy.

Oh, I thought the guy from Led Zeppelin funded our arena. We have a painting of that cat ship in JPJ. That's my guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So there's some synergy. There's some forced, not exactly legitimate synergy. That's pretty funny.

You thought the... Totally thought that John Paul Jones Arena was the Admiral. You were like, man. No, rich guy. Very rich. And I thought it was cool guy. Also a cool guy. Yeah.

And his dad. Paul Tudor Jones named it after his dad. Yep. Yep. But all just just another Jack Jones. Yep. Speak. Not suspended.

Well, for a week. Yeah. He made his workout. Okay. So good, good. I guess I'm going chiefs. Bad. Man, so many choices.

I'm going to go Houston's ownership. Yeah. Like, can you imagine the vibe? Flying back to the oil field? When, as an owner, when you have no control over something like that, You fire a guy. Owners get the last laugh in like almost everything in their life. Not today.

You can, you know, you can get people fired. You can, you can hire people, you can buy people off. Like any outcome you want in life as a billionaire, like,

that's what's going to happen. But you could not get Lovie Smith to win, to lose that game. I mean, it's absolutely incredible. It's karma. They've behaved kind of strangely over the last strangers. Yeah,

say the least. I'm getting on my fast jet. I'm sitting there with all the amenities, and I can't, there's not an ounce of happiness on that plane because now we're going to have to buy the first pick back. Terrible. It's crazy. Good pick.

Yeah. Fly on the wall? Yeah. I have two fly on the walls, and I'm sorry about this. Flies on the wall. There's two flies on separate walls, one of which Dan Campbell, pregame and halftime speech. I would have loved to have been in there to hear what he had to

say to those guys. I know we talked about they were eliminated before the game but Dan Campbell at half time you know it's funny we start the season seeing so much of the Detroit Lions and we're kind of like get them off our TV they suck and now at the end of the season bring them back on our TV come on

more Dan Campbell and the other one would have been Ryan Poles watching Levy Smith ignore the code red you can't handle the truth yeah that's good should have taken a knee on that fourth down can't handle the truth That was a big sports center thing for a while.

What's a... You know, all the lines from that movie. You know, you can't handle the truth. Didn't you want me on that wall? You need me on the wall? Yeah, any man. A few good men. Yeah, a few good men.

My fly on the wall is that, uh, that same Sunday night game. I don't know if y'all caught this. Matt LaFleur, when Mason Crosby hits the crossbar, Green Bay's up 9-6, middle of third quarter. Doink. Detroit scores about 90 seconds later. But Matt LaFleur says, do you want me to punt about three times. Do you want me to punt?

I saw that. Who's he talking to? Is he talking to Aaron? Who's he talking to somebody upstairs? But why are you not? Analytics person? Why are you not making the call? Well, he is making the call. Okay, fair. We had just seen Mason hit like from 48 and 49 and clear the crossbar by about six inches.

So then he attempts to 53-yarder. But he's clearly, he's either arguing with somebody do you want me to punt, maybe the special teams guy. I mean, they're all in the same headset. But I just wanted to hear that interaction. Should have punted. Who's the person on the other? It's the special teams coach who's on the other end.

He was looking. He knows his max distances. He watched him kick pregame. They saw the kicks happen in the game. The only thing that's interesting to me is that are watching them only. It's interesting you saw that. Unless the special teams coordinator, which they're usually not, is upstairs, he's not looking down the sideline in person.

He's looking straight out to the field. It was weird. What you think? Is Aaron saying, he might be on the radio? He's on the radio like you're on the phone. I would just like look down at the person. You just don't get to see. that a lot where the head coach is asking other people

what to do. Do you want me to punt? Even though that happens all the time. I mean like, you know, people got clock people, people, people have special teams coaches. Oh my God. Defensive coordinators are like, offensive quarter, what are we doing here? But you punt there, you probably don't go down 13 to 9 in 90 seconds and you're in better shape. I'll give you a viewing party. Yeah. The Steelers, it was like

heartbreaking. The Steelers not being able to get in there because they played so well. And I just want to say this. Like Kenny Pickett, I've been on this thing where you know, like I'm looking at the glass half full with this guy. And the way they finished the season, I feel really good about the future there. I mean, him and George Pickens have a great relationship on the field. You know, Najee Harris, 30, who I'm going to learn his name.

Jaylon Warren. Warren. Fryermuth, you know, Deontay Johnson. Did he even score a touchdown basically all season? Did he score yesterday? No, you're damn right. I got it. Can I do it?

Can I do it? No, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no. Do you want to do it? You, me. You, me. All right. Deontay Johnson, 86 catches this season, but no touchdowns.

That's now the most catches by a player in a single season, NFL history without scoring a TD. An awesome player with bad luck this season. That commentary is from Field Yates. The last guy that had that kind of production with that little touchdown production, I think was Julio Jones in Atlanta. He would fucking have 15 catches a game and never score touchdown. I say that to say, like, the Steelers, you could make an argument for them deserving to get in the playoffs. You could make the case that they're going to be good next year. You could make the case that this season kind of all-told feels like a victory for them.

Like they made a step in the right direction. But it had to absolutely crush them in the fourth quarter. They're in garbage time, basically, up two scores. and they're rushing the passer as New England that game turns and Miami wins. And it's all on the ticker. And it's all happening. I think Miami was ahead of the New England game maybe a little bit. But they're kind of watching.

I think you have one eye on it. I wonder, it's such a weird thing. I've never been eliminated in real time, you know, and being on the field and kind of probably knowing that that happened. I wonder where their heads were at. It's weird seeing the ticker. The ticker tells you obviously what the score is, but the fans will give you an indication first.

They go, oh, oh, yeah. You look up and it's like, oh, there's Aaron Rogers getting sacked on the jumbo. They love that. Oh, I'll give you a viewing party or a fly on the wall. Whatever the fuck is the difference between the things. Maybe in the off season, we figure that out. Yeah, well, it's a viewing party is, uh, it's, it's more of a, hey, this is a good seat for the game.

Viewing party, here's the perfect example of viewing party. Somebody on the street wants to know, hey, Chris, I watch your show a lot on YouTube. What's it? What's a viewing party? Yeah. It's the guy who got yelled at by the Raiders fan. Got RSV. She was so close to his face.

And next week he's in the booth with Bob. Bob crap. That's a viewing party. Fly on the wall is like, what the fuck is Bill Belichick talking about this morning with Joe Judge and Matt Patricia? That type of thing. I want to ease drop on that conversation. Yeah.

Did I say I had another one? I don't remember what it was. I think you were to go back and go as a fly on the walls, which I don't remember. Fly on the wall could have been the defensive front when the chiefs broke out the Arctic Circle. Oh, man, that's going to be, that's going to be redone. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But it was in there last year when I was with the Chiefs. We worked on that play a lot.

I felt a little cringe. That's Andy Reed, just fucking have a phone. No, honestly, though, it actually, it looked at first. I was like, oh, this is fucking cute. Like, all right, cool. You got less time. Yeah, and then it worked. Those receivers,

those receivers going every which way. And, like, you know, generally, you can kind of peer into the huddle and track your guy or whatever. Yeah, just running right up to the ball. That's kind of sketchy. Yeah. Okay. So, Hollow Man.

I already gave it to Quay Walker. Who you guys got? I've got a dumb ass of the week. Yeah, sure. Kind of like a hollow man. It'll be Jameson Williams asking for Aaron Rogers Jersey after the game. Like, read the room. Well, the audacity of like, you know, like.

One target and a drop. There's certain players that are not asking for a jersey. Shoot your shot. He got unlucky with the microphone. Read the room. Yeah. Camera in the microphone. Got unlucky.

Yeah. Camera's probably going to be trained on Aaron. His reaction was like, oh, wasn't it? Like, because he knew, right? Wasn't it? Yeah, when Aaron was like, he had a pretty good reaction. I'm going to hold on to this one. Hey, listen, I respect the kid for shooting his shot.

Did Aaron say, hey, I'll see you want. I'm not calling him a big of a different one. That's not what I mean. That's what I would have said if I was Aaron. You're not a dumbass. It's a young guy of the week. It's a young guy of the week. It's a young guy of the week. Hollow Man. Yeah, he's a hollow man feeling to get turned down for a fucking jersey, for sure.

This is a bit personal to me and I'm sure many others. But, and it's been mentioned, the DB for the Indianapolis Colts who who jumped when the ball. was released six seconds too as opposed to when it was right over his head. He had the wrong ball. He had the wrong. Yeah. Could have won the game for first coach.

Jeff Saturday, who we got a Beville Conway now? Might not be the coach next year. And that was Rodney Thomas. Rodney Thomas. From Yale. And there was another Colts little trickery. That's the second week in a row. You're saying and a little weird.

I like it. I like it a lot. I couldn't help. myself. I was getting excited, my man. No, no. I love it when you get excited. Go ahead. Go on. The offensive linemen, y'all enjoy yourselves.

The Colts offensive lineman stripped his own player from the ball. They were in on it too. You were talking about who's in on and who's not. Kingston said that you haven't said enjoy yourself to him once and see. Well, yeah. Now, I don't want to

You don't want him to enjoy him. Yeah, I'm afraid. My father-in-law actually said that he hates that phrase too. Really? You know what? He's not right about everything. He was like, enjoy yourself. That shit pisses me off.

I was like, okay. I'm glad you listening. I don't know that I've ever heard it. So Bevel Conway, I would give it to, by the way, the Eagles all black looks great. Yeah.

Looks great. You get the black helmets. I think the, I think the Jags will probably be superstitious and go teal on teal again. Confusing. They would go. Don't do that.

They're like ravens. They go all black on Saturday night. Go black. Yeah. Chargers in all white. Yeah. I wouldn't be mad at a yellow pant, but yeah, that'd be cool. Yeah, yellow pant would be dope.

I actually am going to go Steelers and Browns. That's a really good color contrast. The balance is great. It was outside, day game. It just looked beautiful. Yeah. Look beautiful. Yeah.

And, uh, I want to, may I? Yeah. I would like to go in and change the settings on your iPad right after the show. Because I have to. I watch you punch in that code 17 times during this show. So you know my code. And it's giving me anxiety. You know my code?

It is in 2 zeros. Okay. I haven't been looking at it. I mean, I just, I, it's, uh, 1-800. Yeah, it's tough. Can I do that for you? Not right now.

Yeah, yeah, after the show. Yeah, maybe. Yeah. I might be in a rush to get home. You don't want. You got a Bevel Conway? I can change it at home. I mean, you got a Bevel Cowway?

I do. I got a lunch business meeting. Sorry, sorry, guys. And I got Rich Eisen here in a couple minutes. I'm going to go with a very college-looking football game. And shout out to it. And it was.

It is. it was a college game, which so it tracks. Congratulations to the Jack Rabbits on winning the FCS national championship. Can we pull up North Dakota State and South Dakota State on the internet to show these cats what we're looking at? First of all, I believe we're playing on grass in Frisco, which makes a big difference. Yeah. And look, you got the painted end zones, you've got the bison in one, the Jack rabbits and the other.

And if you could give me a jersey, that'd be sick. That's about all the jerseysies right there. Yeah, yeah. I'm not, Jack Rabbit's got to do better. No, see, so they're not perfect, but they're perfectly college. Like in North Dakota's,

it's like a high school jersey. Yeah, but they went white, blue, white, and the other cats went green, white green. Which is Jefferson District. Look at. Yeah, that looks like a high school game. That looks like a game in the valley.

I love that. It looks like Louisa versus Robert E. Rockbridge. Western Outmorrow. Yeah. a little Western outmar on there too. Western has better uniforms. Whoa, hey.

This might be the worst pick of the year by you. Oh, really? You don't like it at all? No, not the worst. But it's up there. Well, I don't know. I mean, you and that, that's like the, that hits me the hardest. Really?

Well, we're usually same garage, Bevel. No, I mean, you know, what are those, what are those peck stripes on the jack rabbits? It just all makes me happy. That's piping. They're the jack rabbits for fuck's sake. And they played the bison. And it was a title game.

Yeah. After a 32 team. I'm going to design you on grass. I'm going to design you to. With the sun shining. And not to mention. It's not just the cloth, you know. It's their first FCS championship too.

Thank you, Kyle. And also, it's a border war. That's right. Played in a remote place. In Texas. They fought a civil war in another country. Okay. Name an NFL player from both schools.

NFL Okay okay I got a Bevel Conway Okay good Hit us with it Devil Conway Detroit at Green Bay NFC North rivalry Week 18

Gorgeous stuff on the line Obviously with Collinsworth and Tariko on the call At one point they brought the camera into the booth And Tariko was like You guys are crowding us. Oh, did you see his board?

And they shut it off. Oh, She might care about this. The board, his board, usually you're dealing with pieces of paper. You're bored. He's got this sick ass. I took a picture of it. He's got this sick ass, big ass digital screen. His spotters got one too.

Oh, wow. It was sick. Joe Bucks just still down and dirty pen and paper. Oh, probably so. Got the Dead Sea Scrolls there. I'm going to show you guys both a picture of this. You're not going to give a shit. All right, while you do that, I'm going to give my game ball.

Lovie Smith. Okay. Lovey freaking Smith, man. And you know what's not lost on me with Lovey Smith? As you look at Mike Trigo's board. Yeah, that's pretty cool. I mean, you're in that game, your name's on there. It looks like an NFL building schedule.

It does. It does, which gives me PTSD. The TVs with the schedules. Like, why do we have 15 minutes between practice and lunch? Okay. So, um, Lovey Smith has risked his professional reputation.

Just think about the way these owners are. I said it earlier, like the contempt, you know, the feeling of like, I can't be told told what to do. And Lovie took it out of their hands. And so now, like, if Lovie, this was his second opportunity as a head coach, right? You know, you had Chicago the first time, which ironically, he did Chicago a solid. But how hard do you think it's going to be for him to find a job now? as a head guy

I mean it was going to be hard anyways being fired again and everything and the way this season went but I would argue that it wasn't a fair opportunity and I would also argue that he took tremendous risk doing what he did yesterday and I would fly on the wall would be

there it is the fallout game ball and fly on the wall like I want to know what conversations are being had like how explicitly frustrated they are with the outcome of the game yesterday and what that means for Lovie Smith in the future. But he said, fuck it.

Fuck these people, dude. 64 might be it's retirement age. Yeah. You don't need to coach you more, Lovie. It's a great walk-off. Or presidential age. You're a king.

Go be the president. Yeah, go be the president, Lovie. I don't need to overthink this. Nahim Hines ran it back twice. Game ball. I don't need to overthink this. Two bears met last night on national television and Jared Gough
