Chris Macon and Kyle are going to pick their coaches they want to spend an evening in the club getting bottle service with. Y'all stay tuned for that and enjoy. Oh, I got a housekeeping. Let's start the pod right now.

Okay? Started a show this weekend, guys. It's called The Patient. Yeah! Nice. Fucking... What's about? It's about a series of.

serial killer. Steve Corell's in it. It's pretty good. It's at least pretty good. And I'm hooked. The short episodes, I'm into that. Yeah, like 21 minutes. Unlike our podcast. You got to be able to like slow. I don't think, I don't think it's that slow. Slow it fast, obviously. It's slower. We slow it down. It gets a good slower. Yep. Uh, no shoes nation. That's right. So you've gotten all that. Yeah, 78 shows. His friend's fucking weird. By the guy, by the way, this guy's hydrated. Yeah, how so? Always pissing. Right, right, right.

Steve Carrell's just sitting there, guys pissing. If you haven't seen the patient, go wash it's pretty good. It's on Hulu. But these damn ads on Hulu, man, am I the only one getting ads on Hulu? No, no, no, I'm getting the ads. What the fuck is that about? I already paid for Hulu. I don't need a Chevy Silverado.

Back to the future, I kind of like the minute reset. Like I get up, I brush my teeth. Maybe make it 30 seconds. Go to the John. Maybe make it 30 seconds. Get an ice cream? I don't mind the break. Speaking of the breaks, another reason why you were saying the Bills and the Chiefs

underwhelmed you and we can get into that game in a little bit. But because I assume the scoring. It underwhelmed me emotionally because it wasn't a cathartic finish for me. Pat didn't get to drive down the field. Patrick didn't get to drive down the field. Right tackle got beat inside and Patrick was under duress. I thought you were one of these I can't watch football games unless it's 54-51 like Rams.

See, he's assuming again about. I mean, no, I mean, we cleared it up. pretty quickly, but most people really are like obsessed with these 100 points. They need a shootout, right? It's like the, it's like the Bama Tennessee game. They're like, oh, this is how football is into it. 2420 is perfect. Exactly. I think 2420 is a perfect football

game. Romo called it. A methodical game where two quarterbacks are trying to try to take what they can get. Yep. And use their guys like you saw Jet McKinnon featured and shit. That's what the chiefs have to be about when teams are playing like that. That's what Josh Allen has to do. And I can go to the fucking bathroom and take breaks

like the patient. Hulu. because there's not two scores happening while I go get a peanut butter sandwich. I've been to 19 Kenny Chesney shows and the serial killer is obsessed with Kenny Chesney. It's funny, dude, and he kind of looks like making. A little bit. But you look way healthy. Kenny Chesson's got a great show, by the way. He's got a great show.

Yeah. So that's housekeeping. Well, another item in housekeeping. I'll give out my asshole the week right now to start the show. Let's get the juices flowing here. John Cooper, and we've talked about this before the show, Kyle, you tweeted about this this morning. He's the mayor in Nashville. He struck a deal with the Tennessee Titans to build a new Dome Stadium.

Oh, no. Dome Stadium. It's on the Metro Council now to vote it down. Please, Metro Council, vote this down. At this pace, no outdoor stadiums like 2040, I'm thinking. And the worst part is, like, you could not find a place that grass grows better than fucking Tennessee, dude. I just, well, Miami or something. But, like, if you want some good, like, solid.

Kentucky's got grass named after. Bescue. Wait, what are they growing? Bluegrass. Kentucky bluegrass. Literally, well, it's not in Kentucky though. It's close. Yeah, it's close. But see, Kentucky's a neighbor. Yeah. So they're growing good grass there. Like, what the fuck are we doing? It's like, it's a nice climate. You get a little cold weather. It gets gray in December.

You can't, and we're putting domes there, dude. I think you have to really define what a dome is, Chris, because what we've seen now, like you play at the new L.A. Sofi Stadium. You feel like you're outside. You feel like you're one of those futuristic soccer stadiums. You do get the weather. You can smell the salt in the air. I'd imagine Nashville if you had a retractable situation. Not like Jim Ursay's Thunderdome, but I'm talking about like, that's a tactful advantage. I'm talking about, that's a greenhouse, really. I'm talking about a proper retractable dome. I don't even want a retractable roof, man. It cheapens the whole experience for me. What happens if Garth Brooks is playing and it starts raining? Make it fucking work, Kyle. Up at Gillette,

every year they have Kenny Chesney. Every year, it's outside. Like back to back night. Like they'll do it, yeah. Back to back to back. You know they get the Nor Easterns and shit up there. That's close. What is it? Nor Eastern. No Easter.

Yeah, whatever. But it typically happens in the North East. They come from the North East. Yeah. Yeah, they get those all the time. It's right off the water and they don't need a fucking dome. To Kyle's point, where are you on canopies? Like in Miami, we now have a canopy, which doesn't cover the playing surface.

Fine. But most of the fans fine. It looks like European. Looks like soccer. I think that's just dope. Kind of keep the fans dry. Especially Dolphins fans. Is that the only reason though?

Which is ironic. Because they're robots. They're like the two and on people are like robots. You get them wet, they short circuit. So yeah, keep those people dry. We want to make sure we can play God and control the weather for non-football events. Is that the idea with these domes? Yes, Mega church, six days a week.

Joel Steen's going to be. Derek Henry Church of the Rush. Exactly. Damn. And come see Toby Keith Thursday night. So anyways. Good, good behole. Also, yeah, 800.

Kyle, what was it that you tweeted, John? Jonathan Jones. Yeah, Jonathan Jones. $880 million is what the cities will in the fork over and 2.2 Billy. Yeah, so the Titans will bring $800 million of the plan $2.2.2 billion for the doomed stadium to the Dune. Yeah. Freudian Slip is what we call that. Titans will bring $800 million of the plan $2.2 billion for the Dome Stadium to the table.

Still some work to get it to the finish line is Jonathan Jones. I'm going with Dume Stadium, bro, because this stadium fucking sucks. Thunder Doom. Okay, I was going to be two, two thousand thirty two, I'm going to be, I don't know how old I'm going to be when this stadium gets built and I'm going to remember

talking about it on this podcast and that just sucks. That being said, nothing I like better than a rendering. Oh, render me anything. I'll gaze at it for 45 minutes. That's a fucking weak rendering though. They need to.

A lot of renderings are like the, remember we used to get the video game information packets before they came out? You'd be like it would be like screenshot from in-game. And when you finally get the game, you're like, this game sucks. A lot of cool.

Kind of looks like all the other domes. Game sucks. Oh, but it's got this cool feature. You know who's got a cool feature in their stadium? Cutter is hosting the World Cup, right? But they're like very mean to women in that region.

The woman who designed the stadium covertly made it look like a vagina. And I think that's the most brilliant thing I've ever seen, dude, like a little bit. I've never seen one, but I would imagine that. Well,

I didn't realize it would be so bad. So this is Al-Janoeb Stadium, is that right? In Qatar? Yeah. And in Qatar, they're not nice to women, which is a very bad thing. And it's very fucking stupid, but that stadium is not stupid. Al-Janoob, more like Labia Stadium. What?

What I'm saying is. So shout out to Zadahazid, who's since deceased, but really dropped a bomb on Cutter. Beautiful stadium. Like just, fuck you guys. Fuck the patriarchy. I'm all about it,

you know? All right. So some guys listen to this or crash in their car. They're so mad I just said that. The patriarchy. Okay. America's teams.

America's teams. You want to start us off? Sure, sure. It's pretty simple this week. Because you can, you take the vault. I might, I might. It's the Philadelphia Eagles one.

It's the Vols 2. It's the Philadelphia Phillies three. It's both New York football teams four and five. Look at that. I'm not going to, I'm not going to overthink this, dude. Like, right? It's pretty fucking simple. This weekend was, we put in the group chat,

what's the better sports town right now? New York City, parentheses, Jets and Giants, or Philly, parentheses, Eagles and Phillies. Nate Collins answered. see New York because of the Buffalo Bells. So I don't know. Which is the only of the three teams in New York City. Right.

You pointed out that irony, which is beautiful. So this is a big weekend for the Eastern Seaboard. Bad weekend for the Deep South, the Balkans of all teams, the only team not to let people in the South down this weekend. You had, I mean, shit, you had Bama, obviously Saturday. You had who else? New Orleans lost on Sunday.

You had the Braves lost this weekend. at the hand of one of America's teams. You count them as a South. And you had Hershal Walker flashing a fucking fake police badge out there. Fraudulent. So like, it was a bad week

for the Deep South. Give me those five America's teams. I'll join you with the Tennessee Valls. I'll also add Tulane, the Green Wave. Unlike James Madison, those frauds, they can stay in the top 25.

They're in the top 25 at 6 and 1. They went to South Florida and got a win this weekend. South Florida, fellas, is located in West Central Florida. I think that's Miami. It's greater Miami. They're located in Tampa. Isn't that wild?

I think it's still greater Miami. Yeah. Miami Gardens probably Miami. How would they call it that? Miami. Isn't it strange? Yeah, it's fucking weird. It's Florida, man.

Is it further north than UCF? Is it further east than what was the city we were doing this with? Detroit. Detroit. Great question. That's a great question. question. Tampa floor. See now I'll take you behind the scenes here. I'm going to go to Tampa on Google. And then I'm going to zoom out. Yep. What I do is zoom out. So Tampa is about equal with

it's farther west than Toronto. So it's west of Detroit because Detroit's right under Toronto. No, Detroit's under Windsor. Sorry. It's it's further west of Cincinnati, Cleveland. A little geography here for you this morning. Cleveland. Okay, terrific. You know, Kyle, two lane at six and one, getting so much recognition, the school plans to expand by 2025, which is cool. Expand in what regard? They're becoming four lane. It's on tape.

It's on tape, bro. That's great. Nice. It's on tape. Okay. Look at his face right now. He's so fucking happy. That was good.

That's his whole week right there. He's so fucking happy. That was good stuff. Sell a couple homes. Yeah. and do a two lane joke. Better than a jizzling joke. Oh, got you.

Okay. Cincinnati Bearcats are my third America's team because... You're talking about that petter ass? On October 4th, I looked up. They got a commitment from Edgeron's son, Jizzle James. Oh, that jizzled James. The number 69 overall prospect in the class of 2023 out of Olympia High School in Orlando, Florida. He committed to Cincinnati.

You know how they did from North Carolina. at Guard 6-6 Michael Jordan. It just makes me laugh to think about from Cincinnati at guard 6-1 Jizzle James. Yeah, dude, it's pretty sweet. Okay. I'm going to add the Cleveland Guardians and with all due respect

to producer Scott who well he loves the Yankees. I mean, what more can you say? As a Yankees podcast, has a Yankees hat. 707. Watches the Yankees. 707 first pitch.

The Guardians are trotting out somebody called Aaron Savali. He's got a 5-E-R-A. Which isn't good. Not great. Not great. Not great, Cotton. Not so great. Garrett Cole was great yesterday.

It was. And the Yankees will probably win because that's what the Yankees do. They win games. They advance in the playoffs. So, because if they win, we're going to New York, right, Saturday night? This coming Saturday. I got making a ticket. I'll be there at one time.

You know, I thought moving up here that we were going to be friends. This was, it was really in my sights. Wait, what's in that's what I'm living here for a while. I'm also being in New York on Saturday night. I think, yeah, Kyle, got you a ticket to? Yeah, Kyle got you a ticket. We're all going to get you a ticket. Scott.

Got you ticket. We're going to sit with the people. Making you a ticket. We'll see, that's why the Guardians really are one of my teams. This would, this would cancel a plan. Okay. Which is just the best. Got it.

Nothing better than a canceled plan. Would you go with us, though? I don't know. Could you talk to my wife? Oh, absolutely. When do we have to call her? On the show? No, we're not going to do that.

Let's just see how tonight goes. Okay. Because this Aaron Savali, you know, might just go ham. So they're America's team, knocking on wood. They can ensure that you don't have to do something fun. Right. I love that. Right.

And I relate to that. Scott, I really want you to be happy. Thank you. And I just, I don't like the Yankees so much. I understand that. In our uniform, our uniform. Yeah, tournament. Yeah, tournament.

really, really hurt all of the teams we picked to go through. Cardinals, Dodgers, they were both out early. Nice. Jay's gone in a heartbeat, and the Yanks, the only team of the Final Four remaining. Good luck to your club. Thank you very much. Scott. It's going to be Nestor Cortez is a man of the people possibly throwing tonight.

And I'll round it out. I'll join you with the JETS. I mean, that's a great story. 2710. It was, it was, it was. a 27-10 ball game. America's team. New York Jets.

Dominant. Kyle, you want to go with like the Navy SEALs at one? I've got the Team USA Soccer team who's got the Olympics coming up. I'm not even sure if we're in it,

but I'm assuming if you've got a country and we have a country, we're going to be in this thing. Number two, Syracuse, a real football team. And I'm starting to think that there is a, I'm starting to think that there's a conspiracy theory. Me and Matt,

we're talking about this. this, feel free to chime in. There is probably a conspiracy theory. There's probably coming. There's so many people that are in the media that went to Syracuse, that cover Syracuse. Adam Shine being one of them. Oh, yeah. Huge Syracuse Homer, like, sings them to the highest.

You know what I'm saying? They're all Syracuse guys. That's why they are America's team. That's one of those. Why can't they better fund the fucking program? Why do they have to back channel an undefeated season? Like, just right now they got Dino Babers and a bunch of guys that you haven't heard of. the Giants number three

because I like Brian Daebel more than number four Robert Salah and the Jets but they're also doing well enough to be in my top five and I love seeing the Packers lose nothing makes me happier than seeing sauce gardener catharsis

wearing yeah that was great seeing sauce where the friggin cheesehead at Lambo and I just know how pissed people are lost to the sauce lost in the sauce like receivers are going to be just lost in the sauce. They lost to the sauce at that point. Hey,

last night he was cheese sauce. Go ahead. Okay. Hey, y'all know that fondue? I got hungry, bro. And five bills. I got to tip my cap to the bills, America's team,

because the chiefs have been America's team, really, you know, if you boil it down to it with the winning and everything and the bills kind of just not so fast. I really neglected the bills this week. In the daytime,

which is like, in a daytime game, a primetime daytime game, those are always weird. No, they're great. I agree. If two good teams play at 425, like it's great. See, I felt like they should have been in the Eagles window.

Kill me. You know, Cardinals, Seahawks, if that's what was on and no disrespect to the Seahawks who might actually be good, kill me. Well, we have to reserve one of the three. Hit me in the head, Nick Bolton. One of the three primetime games must go to the Denver Broncos. That's in the NFL's contract this year. So they must.

might be one of America's team. That's like BYU. Do they have a good communications department? They have the Luridonty built their airport. Yeah. Hey, cats, look at my machine. Mike Tariko built their airport. Look at this.

Look at my machine. What's going on? Oh, USA terrible kids. Let's go. Ooh. This is this, this is this, what are we calling it? I don't like the white kids. I really love the badge.

We're looking at the. You like that shield? I love the shield. That represents one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, the seven colonies. There were seven colonies. Got it. Colin.

Gee. All right. So we like those blues. Yeah, like the blues. I don't like the white so much. Okay. Okay.

So we got through America's teams. Good. That would put us, by the way, one of America's teams, not the Titans. I can guarantee you that. I don't know if we'll be doing this podcast

in 2032, but I can guarantee you I'll never make an America's team again if they play indoor. Wow. Keep freezing cold take right there. Freezing cold. Well,

I think they're my new America's team because of the progress. Nobody's going to be freezing cold out there because everybody's too fucking scared of the elements. When Whalen Long is like a nickel corner on the Titans, they're going to be off your list. Well, for the reasons of homerism and not being a homer, I'm not going to put them on America scene.

By the way, if Wayland Long could do anything, become any football player, I wouldn't be Matt Milano. I almost came home last night, woke him up. Spy, Spy Gate. And put NFL rewind on the laptop and just said, son, watch this guy play football. Yeah. If you're going to play linebacker,

I don't know if they have a conventional. of air belt that spits out square-jawed white guys that run around and just tackle well up at BC. But like fucking, he just, the torch got passed to Matt Milano, I feel like in the last, we'll get there. I don't wanna get, I don't want to get. The pictures are on the wall at the university

of all the guys who have come before him. That guy's insane. Matt Milano is so fucking fun to watch. There's just so many tackles in the league that you can't take for granted. Like out in the flat, you know, on the sideline, he just, he just, he's fucking. perfect dude love matt milano how about a little taste of land and dickerson coming right down your throat

easy there chris the chris with no h because chris collinsworth is sick bro he said that last i know he's a sick he's a sick fuck he knows what he's doing and me and reed were talking about this i was like do you think he means to do like does he have a plan to do this and i was like you know what he loves connecting with guys that are his son's age that have that sense of humor and we love this shit. We eat this Lander Dickinson up your throat and stuff up. Yes, we did as a nation. We said no thanks collectively.

The old crowd doesn't hear it. We hear it. Oh, we hear it. Yeah, old crowd does not hear it. No. He might not hear it, which is the point is like Chris doesn't hear it. It's like a children's movie you can watch with your kid and still laugh at Rancho jokes. It's a fucking dinner table when he used to say things like moist, like the chicken's moist and we all crack up. This is some moist meat. And he'd be like, what? you know like we had to have a code for that's what she said it was bagel wow yeah yeah yeah but

you would say bagel allowed to each other instead of that's what she said and then would how we go and then would be like i don't know bagel's not what again bagel's not for dinner what do you guys what do you guys keep saying bagel for yeah so the older generation just doesn't get it dude so maybe chris didn't get it but philly dallas okay the vibes were incredible in that state I didn't bet the Eagles until right up to kick off, bro. Like, Megan and I were talking about this. Well, there was a lot of points, man. And in fact, I'm a coward, so I bought the fucking points to minus four.

Well, almost wicked smart on your part. It almost was wicked smart. It went for two. I had the Eagles teased with the under. That number was 49. I had Cooper Rush's under completions. Anybody who follows me on Twitter knows that now, because I posted a fucking picture every drive.

I had a tally mark going. It was at like two or three for the length of like the godfather. And then all of a sudden he was Dan Marino in the second half. So like never a doubt for the Eagles with the atmosphere, but for your boy, very scary. And I want to send out a personal thank you to Brandon Graham, who was a great teammate on the field for me. But an even better teammate for your boy as I'm washed up watching on the couch sweating three Eagles related bets because he hit Cooper Rush last night. And maybe the game changes because of this, but most certainly for so much. many Americans who had the Eagles on their ticket.

CD was scoring. He's scoring, bro. And B.G., there's no stat for that. The ball flutters out, and it falls into CJ Gardner Johnson's hurt ass hands. He's not catching a ball that's coming in there hot. So BG, thank you, bro. I love you.

Fucking love you, man. My kids appreciate you. I was going to have to come home and wake them up. And instead of Matt Milano tape, we were going to go outside and get shots up, because they're going to have to go on scholarship. I had a lot of money on that game. Seriously, dude. I had a lot of money on that game. It was a it was unreal. I mean, I'm going to give my Bevel Conway to them right away. I'm going to give the Bevel Conway,

the Eagles and the Cowboys. My God, that was beautiful to watch in prime time. You get the glimmering of the lights and the helmets, the classic Cowboys uniform, the Eagles. Also, I just love Jalen Hertz. The drive starters from the Eagles, they're on schedule as an offense. They're able to not be in a hurry and still hit explosives when they need it and when they feel the time is right. Hey, how difficult do you think those reads are, that pull, that put it in the belly and pull it back out? That's something that you, it becomes second nature.

And there was, in the low red, there was one on the RPO where Jalen was looking right. Everybody goes right. And it's so simple. It's like you're fooling a five-year-old with your eyes. I'm looking here. The ball's here. And you can see on that touchdown, look right. free throw over the top easy jalen makes it look easy and the reason it's so effective is he can run

he can throw but they're on schedule and they don't have to do anything too crazy lane coming out with a concussion which they got to at least the first half the first half was great you had to put your you had to get your feet in the ground against that defense and get get off to a league which why seriani man like and i'm hoping that ticket for fucking coach of your cashes but brian dable out here being so goddamn perfect he's good i have a top seven for you a little later you got seven okay good They made Cooper, they made Cooper human in the first half and made him come back down to Earth. And credit to him, he did come back out and do a lot better in the second half. And in the two minute, too, before the half.

The big thing is this. Suffocated him. It's Siriani on up 7-0, I think, and they're in the low red. It's fourth and four. The quarter's ending and put yourself in the mind of a Dallas cowboy defender. You are fucking, you're, you're treading water. You're swallowing a little water. Like, you're trying to get to the edge of the pool.

You're waiting for the bell, like if it's boxing, right? the quarter's almost over. Let's just get here. We can regroup, talk about this. You're afraid they're going to go for it because it's Nick Siriani, it's the Eagles. They run the offense back out. Dallas is flat-footed, so what happens is

you're slow, and then you speed up, and you're like, got to get lined up, and that's the way you can get guys off, off-side. So, you know, they extend that drive, go up 14-0. And then they're able to play their game. They possess the football for, like, the whole first half, and they got the ball out. You said two and a half seconds,

less than two and a half seconds. Jalen Hertz, just, you know. Are there ever big-brained fellows on the D-Line saying, hey, they're not going to freaking stop it? Do not move. They say D-J-Joe, and for people at home, DJO, don't jump off-sides.

That's what D-Lyman tell each other. And it took me like five years to figure out what they were screaming at each other before the play. But D-Jo, Akeem Hicks used to say it all the time, do not jump off sides. Yeah, and still, there's always somebody because the adrenaline's so high, you know you're down there in the end zone where you're you're on defense on the road so it's not

they're not screaming but it's loud there like there's just chaos bro like people are running on the field they're running off the quarter's about to end so you're thinking if they're going to go matt said this when we were sitting up there i thought it was an interesting point he was like i'm thinking why wouldn't if they're going to go on fourth and four why wouldn't they let the quarter hit so you can you know call a play but you know i'm thinking conversely you know if you hurry up you catch him flat foot and that's with defense is thinking too like damn it they're going to go and they're going to go fast so they're all charged up so seriani great job um doing that and then like the whole thing with with not blocking micha

parsons it was right under our nose like how do you block the the most feared edge rusher on the on the field any given sunday it's it's slow him down and make him have to to process things not that he can't process he's a brilliant football player but what what micha parsons is and since i've been in the There's only a handful of guys I can say this about one of the best instinctive football players I've seen on a defensive side of the football. He's just, he's a football machine, dude. Like he makes all the right decisions. But most of those are, you know, intuitive decisions. You know, they're instinct decisions.

He obviously has to process and that defense is more complex than we know. But in a play, when you make a guy stop his feet before he starts them again, widen his base, have to think about A.J. Brown. have to think about a pull play. That sucks. And especially early in the game for a rusher, who's going against Lane Johnson, who's going against that group, to not be in a rhythm

and not get some shots at a conventional pass rush, that fucks you. He should have been blowing up AJ Brown coming across the formation because that's legal. We're always coached if you have a crosser or somebody, whether it's a boot

or whatever it is. If you blow up AJ Brown, that takes away Jaylin's primary read and you climb the field and pressure him. You used to get a bunch of sacks or pressures like that on boots because you knock off the crosser. Who is the dump down guy? That's the dump down guy. It's the first read. You knock him off and then you climb.

And, you know, they should have coached him to do that earlier. But Sireani, great game playing. I'm glad you brought up Micah having to deal with being responsive to, you know, what was the word you're using? I'm glad you brought up Micah's, you know, the reeds he was having to make yesterday. Yeah, they're not intuitive. So yesterday the Eagles did a lot of pulling out. at Micah. They did a lot of bringing guys across the formation where Micah's eyes aren't just trained on the ball now. He can't just react as a physical freak. He's got to play that game within the game. What am I going to be expecting pre-snap? And it's what guys like Aaron Donald have come to expect in the game and have prepared for like wham blocks. We're going to leave the defensive linemen unblocked. Literally you'll see two offensive linemen split a defensive lineman like the opposite of a double team. And somebody will come from somewhere else and hit him. Because they'll go, oh my God, I'm blocked and then they get blocked. Landon Dickerson hit Micah yesterday so square on a Miles

Sanders run I think and it was came right down his throat. There was exactly what you need to do as an offense when you got a guy like Micah you got to run at him you can't run away from him they'll chase you down and you brought up Aaron Donald like you can't run the read play and read Aaron Donald like that's another layer of decision making the edge guys are going to be more responsible for those things like you know there are very real implications to Micah not taking the dive or the pitch, you know, or the quarterback or, you know, not taking a guy that he's got to peel on like a, you know, halfback trade in coverage or something. Like, he has to think a lot. And so the being at edge guy is fucking hard. It's complicated more than

you know. And so, you know, like giving him all that stuff to think about slowing him down. So I have to ask you a question about what you just said. And you got to teach me because I'm an alignment and if I'm a D-end and the running there's a running back on my side in shotgun yeah and say I'm on the same over the right tackle yeah um and my responsibility is rush unless he swing routes yeah well so so right a lot of times if there's a blitz uh you're going to be you're going to be responsible for the peel that sort of thing or you might get a peel call before the before you line up like when i was in new england something like that that defense is very very complex. So you're getting calls right up until the snap. Like you, you get this long

ass complicated call, and then there's a check, and then there's a third check right before, you know, like, and that's being an edge rusher. It's a lot of process. And I don't know what Dan Quinn's defense is like, but I know that even for defensive ends a lot of the time, that, you know, teams will have rules. So it's not just a base down, like run of the mill, like, hey, they're running read option at you now. They're making you think they're making you read AJ Brown, all types of stuff. Seriani just threw the kitchen sink at him. And that's really big for a rusher.

I used to get so frustrated early in a game if I couldn't get reps in the first and second quarter because that's when you warm up. Like a rhythm shooter. Yeah. I mean, and so they actually survived that first half in a lot of ways. And they got to the second half where, hey, people are going to worry about, you know, Dallas closing the gap. But a lot of that was a couple big drives where the Eagles are playing off a little bit more.

I would say this. Meek Mill was in the building. there's got to be a metric for when he's at the game, but it's fucking almost impossible to beat those guys with Meeky Mill at the game. Jason Garrett succumbed to the vibes. You hear him before at the game? He was like, fly eagles fly, man.

You know, like it's irresistible, the vibe. If I can be serious for a moment in Philly on a night like that. It just gets in your blood, man. It's probably a lot like Chicago in a prime time, you know, evening. Yeah. Dr. Jill Biden was in the house. Joe Biden was in the house. Jill.

Jill. I said Jill. Jill. I said Joe. I just saw her clapping like Nicole Kibben. Well, he'd correct the sunset. I got to give a shout out to the Eagles defense, my fantasy defense. Eagles?

And Devante for having, you know, some big catches that touchdown. It's awesome. Hey, listen up. I know Dallas does come back by virtue of on occasion. Oh, we're coming back to play. Turpin that returner? Cavante. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Is as electric a returner as I've ever seen. They found him in one of these arena leagues. He's really good. But Coach McCarthy, dearest coach McCarthy. Yeah. It looks better at the end. But when you're down 14-0-0-0. I knew this is kind of...

You got to wait to see if you got the line to gain or not. Just wait. Don't run up to the line. It was clear and obvious that the first down was picked up. You did not need to run that play and give it back to him at the then plus 35, which turned into a Jake Elliott field goal and 17-0. Even though they did climb back in, it felt like the game was over at 17-0.

It's a great point. And I think another thing that we haven't even talked about yet is is Dak Prescott, who's sitting there on the sideline. Cooper Rush made some nice throws, but this is the type of thing that plays right in your hand because the Rams are not the team you have to beat. The fucking whoever you beat in the last five of the Bengals are not the team you have to beat. The Eagles are the team you have to beat.

And Cooper is not going to be quite enough. Like not on a night like last night. And the Eagles were not perfect, right? So, Dak Prescott gives them. them hope Christmas will be different at home and they have a second half to hang their hat on. But, you know, like a really big win for the Eagles. Dalton Schultz too. Dalton Schultz.

They're different with him healthy. When he's healthy, you know, that's a big element for them as well. And Jalen Hertz, man, we went this whole time not really talking about Jalen Hertz. Like, listen, he did his job last night. And I probably would vote for him for president. Honestly, he's just, he's just got. It's not old enough. Well, how many more years?

How old is too old? Well, 35 is 34 is too young. Imagine I'm too, imagine I'm being, go ahead. My perfect age for a president, my perfect president, 52 years old. That's a great age. Thank you. Not what we've got right now going on.

I said what's the max. Not what we've had for. Okay, not to get political for a second, but you're running again. Yeah. Let's get there. Yeah. Don't put the cart before the horse.

So Jalen Hertz, when he turns 42 or whatever, I would trust the fucking guy to launch a missile. You know, I feel like if he launches a missile is probably the right decision. Idris Alba turned down 007 so Jalen Hertz could take it. Honestly, that's a great take. Jalen Hurts, double seven. Yeah. Nice.

And then he could become a former actor president, which is everybody loves that. Jalen Hertz 2036. wait when's he no that's i'm not doing the math right when's jalen hurts eligible to be president where you'd figure that out okay somebody's like 11 years you got political 11ish years no that's not even political i don't know it's just like a human it's like how fucking old are these people who could have watched the game last night not thought jalen hurts for president the poise on this motherfucker you know what i can't watch and you guys probably can the uh the diagram of the plates and the screws going into a fake bony hand that they put up on the screen.

I have to look away. Nope. You can't wash? I mean, I know you guys have had all that. Yeah. So I asked, so this is funny because I asked, because I was afraid to be put under when I had my, my hand surgeries. I'm like, you only get so many being put unders in your life.

Like you might not wake up. If I die, I want to see it coming. That'd be the worst way to go to die in surgery. You wouldn't even know. Yeah. The people and I worry about it, but they don't even know they died. in surgery. So, well, okay.

So anyways, I asked to be awake for my surgery. So I had to watch them put the, yeah, well, you know, they eventually just up the happy juice and put me to sleep because I was going, eh, yeah. But they were putting a plate in my hand. So the exact type of shit. Did you watch it? I watched the beginning. And then supposedly they were like, yeah, let's turn the knob a little bit on the happy juice

and put this guy to sleep. And then your eyes closed. Yeah, I'm out. Okay. So Jalen Hertz, Eagles, they're going to be favored in every game, but that Christmas game is going to be off the chain. And I'll tie a bow on it. At some point they put up,

Hertz was 13 to 15 this year on third or fourth and one running the ball, which is just... It's a weapon, dude. Look at all these teams that struggle in short yardage in low red. He's a huge weapon in the low red. Yep, everywhere. Good team. Miles Sanders doesn't get enough credit.

He looked good. He's a good back. I mean, there's a lot of backs that are fighting for credit in the league, and he's a guy that should be named more often. And there's a bunch of free agents coming up in a year, and he's one of them, so playing well right now. Brad Perry's good. Your G-Men.

Speaking of the NFC Beast, love this. It's a great fucking division right now, and so is the AFC East, by the way. Giants are 5 and 1. Giants beat the Ravens. Lamar had Xavier McKinney in his face through the pick, Sequan comes in and gets the game winner.

They're just a professional outfit. Okay. Exceedingly competent. This is what we're doing though. And you of all people who's a Giants fan. I did this yesterday. Should it be barking that were great? No, I was sitting there at TV like they won the game and I turned to everybody in the room and I go,

the Giants were just so fucking competent. And the problem is like we need to be careful about the adjectives we're using for this team because it's our confirmation bias is so, and I agree. Like maybe we shouldn't call them great. But we like we got to give them their due. Like they might be good at the very least. The Giants are good. And yeah, they fucking got out gained yesterday.

Yeah, their leading receiver is Bellinger with like 38 yards. Andrew Thomas has been really good by the way. But like they've overcome 10 point deficits in weeks one, five, and six. They had a 16% chance to win yesterday before the pick. I have to make an apology to the Giants. Do you want to do it now? In particular, Kavon, Tivodeau. Yeah.

Might be early for an apology, but go ahead. I think the last few weeks, I've kind of been eating Crow a bit. Kavon flies around. He may not show up on the stat sheet all the time, but he's got the quarterback getting off his spot. Damn near every time he gets a green light rush. He's getting his hand on the football in the passing game. He's flying around.

I was worried that he was maybe going to show up out of shape, and that's just like, I've been hurt before. I've been hurt before and I've come back that way. Yeah. And I kind of projected probably on that a little bit. And shout out to Kavon-Tibodeau for being a beast. He looks great. He's running great.

I love that Giants defense. Point to watch. Point differential for the Giants plus 14 at 5 and 1. Yeah, so they're winning tight ball games. They've overcome 10-point deficits. They got out gained yesterday. the big question for me is, and it was 405 to like 2.30 or something, the big question to me is, how long can they keep this up and what happens when they have their first big loss?

I'm not asking that question to be like a Debbie Downer because this is a great win, dude. These are all great wins. And Brian Davel is the man. But like, how are they going to respond when they have that bad loss? I think it's next week. I think it might be next week. The Jags feel like. a team that could beat the Giants.

I got it to go to Seattle. Okay. I got the G-Men rolling on. Okay. I like that. Well, I mean, the Giants, man, there's just a lot. Like, Dimes is 8 and 3 his last 11. He hadn't thrown for more than 220 yards.

Like, this is not me downing the Giants. Last week I paid him a big compliment that they reminded me of the Titans. I'm just saying they have to do something, a wide receiver, in my humble opinion. Like, you're trading for somebody, mate? Because I wouldn't be a buyer with this. unit. Really? Yeah. Why? Because I think what's a fun, fun way to put it, especially with college teams, we're playing this year's schedule with next year's team. Got it.

You know? We're just young. This is not the year. They're not going to win the Super Bowl. It could be 11 and 6 in a playoff team and that'd be awesome. But I wouldn't sacrifice assets to go get one more piece just to still lose. I like what if Jets have with two backs, should just sit on their hands. There's only three, four good teams in the league they can win a Super Bowl five, maybe six. But, you know, like, by your logic, 26 teams should just sit there with their, you know, on their hands. I really do.

Tony's not healthy. I think if it's Wondale Robinson, Cadarius Tony, a healthy Sterling Shepherd, which unfortunately. Yeah, that's not happening right now. Doesn't happen. I mean, that's okay. That's okay, sure. But I also want to have an opportunity to evaluate Danny Dimes in a good situation.

Like the situation is solid right now because of the run game. but like I want a chance to develop him with like I don't know there's some names out here I mean Odell I think is going to be a buffalo bill but the Giants thing you know you ask him three weeks ago maybe not but now it looks kind of fun to be a New York giant like you want to get back on that wagon you know DJ Moore maybe you want a disgruntled Robbie Anderson and by the way Robbie Anderson I would never trade for if I was New York because can you imagine Robbie telling Danny Dimes to shut the fuck up or something like I would hurt any times would be He knows feelings.

You need like Aaron Roger with Robbie Anderson. Like Aaron Rogers and Robbie Anderson would be a better pairing. But I do think they probably might want to make a move at some point is all I'm saying. It's all I'm saying. I'm not saying they're going to win the Super Bowl. If it ain't broke. I feel like every year Des Bryant tweets about this time. You just said they can't win the Super Bowl.

Now it's if it ain't broke. I just wouldn't make a move is all I'm saying. And that's fine. Tibodeau, you mentioned Tibodeo, emotional on the field afterwards. like you're eating crow because you said he might be out of shape Kyle big deal people say worse all the time in this in this business he's a duck I feel bad about it well listen first round duck well also the guy here's where I feel good for him and I don't think like listen I he's I still think he's got some work to do and he'd be the first to tell you that but uh but the guy took a lot of shit for like

quote unquote character concerns and all this stuff like not character concerns but they they were talking about his character, like who he is as a teammate, as a player. And I thought it was really cool at the end of the game. First off, way to stay alive and use his hands and get a hand on that football, which sealed the game. And a wall. And a walkoff feels great. And probably the biggest sack by or biggest defensive play by a rookie this year,

probably a high profile rookie making this big play here, a walkoff. Not only is the emotional on the field, but in the locker room, you could see his D-line were super psyched for him. You know, as he's doing the interview, and that brought me back to being a young player. And, like, you could feel that there's love for this guy in the room. You know, even with the early injuries and whatever, and what people say on the outside, like people like this kid.

The NFL can be as lonely a place as there is in professional business, and that's what it is. It's at the highest level professional business. And when you're in that situation, you can feel the love from your teammates. It reminds you why you play the game. You can put some wind in your sales too if you're a rookie. So, and one, just getting off the snide, getting that first one's really hard. I'll say this, man, we, we, Lamar is probably the lead here.

Like, Lamar did not make the plays he had to make to win, and that's shown up a couple times this year. Listen, I hate how binary this Lamar argument gets every fucking time. It's like you either love him or you hate him forever, and that's the argument. Can I say this? Lamar has not played his best football when it counts this year. Okay, like at the end of that Bill's game, uh, He didn't make the throw he had to make.

They end up picking the end zone when I saw it in real time. I did not see that there was a much better option and there was a better time to throw that football. People swayed me. I was like, hey, don't put that on Lamar, but it wasn't hard once I saw the tape. You know, they've blown a couple big leads here. That pick last yesterday was was bad, man. Like the snap, I don't know what happened with that snap.

Kyle, was it early? Was it just a bad snap? I don't know if he wasn't expecting. It could have been on a different cadence. I don't know. I'd have to be there. But burn the ball. And I'm the biggest Lamar fan, dude.

And I don't think any of this matters. Like, we get so bogged down in a day. You're talking about the fumble and then pick? Right after the penalty. Third one that turned in a third. And by the way, the penalty was really what killed him there. Because they convert there, it's over pretty much. And that was the case with a couple of their conversions against Miami.

They couldn't score in the second half against the bills and they throw that pick. Lamar has not been his best best this year. doesn't mean anything in the long run, except for that if you're the Ravens front office, maybe you're looking down at the field and you're like, well, if we're gonna lose, I guess that's one way to lose. Like we don't have to, you know, the entire world's not screaming at us to give him 400 million

because he's losing some of these games. And he's still a fucking great player. He's still an elite talent, an elite quarterback that can win them a Super Bowl if they get hot, but right now they're not hot. In the same token, they can get hot because these are leads they're blowing, and they're blowing,

them different ways. And when your best player is making mistakes, yeah, one way to look at is like it's really disappointing, but he'll get those right, right? So I feel good about the Ravens, man. They've been up on good teams. And they've blown it in the fourth quarter every... And they got something out of Drake yesterday. They're going to get

fucking J.K. Dobbins, healthier. They'll figure this shit out. I mean, but Lamar's not playing his best. And saying that doesn't mean you hate Lamar. Okay? PSA. And Bateman will come back, but wouldn't you say Baltimore's a better candidate for going out and getting another piece because his help is Bateman and Duvernae and of course Mark Andrews. I like those guys. I think Duvene is great. I agree. I agree. But just

one more piece to change things. I mean, I feel like there's some there's not the possession receiver that's always open. Who has better options other than Mark Andrews? Danny Dimes or Lamar. Lamar. How much? Yeah. Marr by a country mile. Yeah. So I'm not going to I don't need to make a move. Now, if you want a luxury, sure. But, like, I think the difference for this team is they haven't been able to close games out. And a receiver's not doing that in the second half, in my opinion. I was with you, like, at one point, I was like, oh, they don't have the guys, but I'm really in debatemen.

Okay, I think DuVernay is pretty good. Mark Andrews, if he catches that ball yesterday, that game's totally different, right? Here's the snap. So people are going to get on Lamar, and we have, but, like, catch the ball in the end zone. Mark Andrew is one of your best players. and he'd be the first to tell you that he's got to catch that football. Lamar lifts his leg and puts his hands up. It just looks like it comes back hot.

It comes back hot. He's still in his cage. I thought everybody was late. I thought everybody was laid out of their snap, but I'm not sure. Kyle. I'm just looking at it right now. I'm figuring out how to work this slider. There you go.

So he went. Everybody's late. And then McKinney's in his face. So yeah, just come here and punt the ball. Well, whatever it is, just burn the ball. ball, man, you know, and he's got to realize that. And, you know, he lives dangerously. He made a throw crossbody a couple weeks ago against the bills in the rain that somebody came up with on the left sideline, a near sideline. I don't remember what part of the game that was, but it was like,

no, no, no, no, no, no, yes. And those plays are great, but right now the margins are tight for this team. So, you know, Lamar said it just feels like we're beating ourselves all their pre-snap penalties and stuff. Ronnie Stanley getting back in the pitch count at left tackle. They increased his reps yesterday. But they got lit up on the blitz, you know, heavy blitz versus Lamar Jackson. And that goes to my asshole of the week. Wink Martinale. Who is like, I've seen this fucker in practice, man. And that's how I imagine Wink talks. He looks like, Wink Martindale looks like every softball travel coach ever. He looks like a lot of the guys I play in softball. Right. Honestly.

Like I want to play for him. We're going to make the playoffs and I'm going to be sitting at home. By the way, we got our last game tomorrow. Oh, good luck. But to go back to that pre-snap, that snap issue, the center quarterback exchange. A lot of that has to do with pressures. You're looking around trying to communicate. You got a young O line. You're trying to relay it to your left tackle.

And Morgan Moses went down. And Morgan Moses went down. Yeah. Heal injury, they said. Wah, wah. We saw a snap like that with Jason Kelsey and Jalen Hertz last night. You know, that was almost a disaster. Shit happens, bro. And for millions of Americans.

So let's stay. Your boy too. And you're you as well because you were texting me right up. Like, you sure, like, you want to do this? I went five for five in my pool. Did you really? Yeah. Yeah.

Happens, you know, once every few years. I want to to tip my own horn eight and three yesterday on the plays. The teasers, though, one and two. So I got to stop with the teasers. Yeah. The live watch was fun. I watched in the airport for a bit. It was good.

It was fun. I wish I could have watched more. It was fun. I like our Jesus ad segment. Still going on. Okay. You know, I'm not an athlete anymore per se. I did just join a softball league.

But I'm a podcaster. And to podcasters, gut health is very important. My morning routine is very important. My breakfast is very important. Walking downstairs to the kitchen to the song Narco is very important. me, but nothing is more important than drinking AG1. I started taking AG1 because I wanted a supplement that actually tastes great and I wanted to find a nutritional drink that could add to my daily routine to improve my gut health and

energy. I just rip it open and it's over with. I don't have to mix a bunch of stuff, it's easy. I've been on it for six months and I love it. It doesn't taste like it's super healthy, which is a good thing. It tastes really good. It kind of has a mild tropical taste that I actually look forward to each morning.

The last time the Jets had a number one Fox crew like I think it was like Chad Pennington time I think I think we were doing squawks did a number one crew yeah I don't think he got a number one fox crew um but the jets know exactly who they are man and I think the difference between these two teams ironically there some better young players on the jets for sure but the jets know exactly who the fuck they are and the Packers I have no idea who they are offensively I have no idea what their identity is by the way last chance to get the Jets on an advantageous line

like Vegas is going to now, I think, figure this out and you're not going to be getting a lot of jets catching. Vegas watched the game. Vegas, Vegas is like, okay, they're good. And I actually think their ceilings higher than the Giants. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I agree.

That could be reactive. We could be overvaluing. Maybe teams are playing Green Bay and we're just overvaluing the fuck out of them because they're beating Green Bay, like whether it's the Jets or the Giants. You know what I mean? I mean, people are seemingly forgetting that the Giants declined. the fifth year option on Daniel Jones. So they don't think that they have the guy.

The Jets think that they have the guy. Yeah, they might have the guy, dude. And Joe Douglas is doing work. You know, they got a lot of young guys, man. You know, young people are just fucking hungry. They're just young and they're hungry. I wrote youth. He's got youth.

That's a good note. That's a really good note of the week. That's a new Miller Light mentioned. Kyle's note of the week. That's better than mine. I wrote down Quinn and Williams. Okay, yeah, Quinn and Williams is fucking amazing. But we'll get, but like, they know who they are.

You know, they lay up before the half to kick a field goal and I'm like, you're screaming at the TV, but they know who they are. They fucking, they, Dylan fumbles the ball. They get into the red zone. They run out like four straight times. They just stay at it. They had 80 yards of offense in the third quarter, man.

The third quarter, 80 yards of offense. They blocked a punt. They blocked a field goal. They were like one for 11 on third down. They still won. They're plus 48 in the fourth quarter this year with a bunch of fucking cabbage patch kids, dude. Like, it's actually incredible.

Think about how much. mature this team is. And I went and looked at the roster last night, and there's also a bunch of vets on this team. You know, and that's the sneaky... That's the sneaky... That's the sneaky touch of Joe Douglas. Yeah.

Who deserves a lot of credit. He's gotten a lot of credit, but what he hasn't gotten credit for, I think is balancing the roster. He's got a bunch of young kids who were just on college campuses, and he's got a bunch of guys who, like, whether it's Mosley, who's sneaky 30,

or, you know, a bunch of the other, like, 37, 36-year-old guys, Dwayne Brown on this team. Who is a shout out to Dwayne Brown pulling outside like nobody's business yesterday and lead blocking for Braxton Barrios on a huge explosive and getting out there in front of Brees Hall. Duane Brown looks like vintage Duane Brown. The things you can do with a guy like that, it's like Trent Williams a little bit where it's like you can lead block now.

Now Dwayne's older. A mini, yeah. But you got that going on a little bit. Dwayne looks great and a big pickup for them because they needed it and they were in a pinch. but like yeah this is a team that that struggled offensively for a lot of the game and still beat the hell out of the Packers man and the Packers suck man okay like yesterday they sucked I'm not saying they suck but like the Packers offense I have no idea what they are I have no idea who they are and Aaron Rogers feels the same way because Aaron Rogers after the game is like

we need to simplify this shit I don't know exactly what he means by that he means get Aaron Jones the ball but is Aaron Jones being punished man I don't know what the deal is there. Is it because he questioned the play calling at the end of the game? I thought he had a really politically correct response about that. I didn't see what Aaron saw. Is Matt LaFleur triggered? Man, that whole best man situation.

Nine carries four targets. Oh, Sala? There's some like, triangle here. They were each other's best man. Oh, was that what it is? So go on. I don't know what happens there.

Well, no, here's the thing. Another sidebar. Mike LaFleur has got a bunch of fucking basketball hoops up in all the office. Why aren't we talking about that? Everybody's like, hey, Miami, they got ping pong tables. This is a big deal. How about the basketball hoops? It's kind of working for them.

Ping pong table, you gotta commit to a game. Basketball hoop, you just get a shot up. You're right. Keep it moving. We had a pool table in Philly and that definitely was a distraction. Time suck. Yeah, I was in there. I was like Jason Peters ATM. That guy's so good at billiards.

It's incredible, bro. Hey, does DJ Moore work best on the Giants, Ravens, or Packers? I think the pick your offense that needs another piece Giants Giants Defi play offensive line for the Packers Okay go on

Go in Offensive line sucked dude I keep saying sucked It's not that the offensive line sucks It's that there's continuity issues There's health issues There's guys playing out of position Backtiari's back in the lineup

But you're letting guys run free up the middle and hitting Aaron, and even if they're not getting there for the sack, they're hitting him on the release. Aaron's hands hitting helmets, his elbows got guys around him. It's chaos, dude.

It's chaos back there. I've been part of offensive lines like that. Walking back with your head down to the side of line is no way to go, especially when you're at home. They were damn near getting booed out of the stadium at Lambo. I've never heard that in my fucking life. They've never been beaten like that at home

with a healthy Aaron Rogers. 17 points. Dude, the New York Jets in the Year of Our Lord, 2022, a historic win. Like, it's crazy and it's the D-line. It was they got after that O line, man. It was Rankin's Franklin, Franklin Myers, Williams were all over the place. The Franklin Myers sack was so violent that win. Bro, some of that, some of that like even, okay, Quinn and Williams had seven pressures, two sacks. By the way, he just got fucking yelled at like two weeks ago and we were talking about that. Like Quinn and Williams probably stood up and was like, dude, I'm not

the old fucking rookie Quinn and Williams anymore like I'm your best player and he kind of proved that yesterday he was one of the best players on the field period yesterday in the NFL and even like you know back door early

TFL next play he takes Runyon on some of these plays that he didn't log a stat he was violent like he had Runyon turned around and pushed Runyon by the small of his back six yards up the field he had Runyon like just doing spins and shit.

And then, you know, even on the Rankin's sack, he's the one who popped off the screen, running the right guard flat over, dude, like peeling him over the pile. Everything this D-line does is violent. They rush well together. The big guys fucking gain ground

like no other. So they can play with power and they can gain ground in short area. Look at Quinn and Williams hitting Aaron Rogers low, which was not a penalty because he's outside the pocket. How much ground he gained in like four steps, dude. This is a big, fast group that plays well and can run games. They loop around each other.

They can get sexy, but they can get fucking physical. They can win one-on-ones physically or athletically, and they can also work in unison on games. And when you're an offensive lineman preparing for a unit, albeit of average guys, if they can run games well, you're in some kind of hot water there. Add to the fact that they have all these dudes showcased with Quinn and Williams as well, They can win those one-on-ones.

It's a nightmare. He's so big and long, like Chris Jones type, but even bigger and heavier. The favorite video of my life is Quinn and Williams in the NFL draft when he sneezes. Bless me. Blesses himself and then thanks himself. It's so pure and wonderful.

It's incredible. Maybe we'll throw it in. Big proponent of blessing yourself. He said, bless you. Thank you. Can I just. Yeah, let's watch it. Bless you.

Thank you. character things. Listen, that I got here, so. Love this guy, dude. He's amazing. I big agree, big agree. We knew he had something special.

He's my favorite player. But honestly, great kid and, yeah, like, had some injuries early and big market. People are like, what the fuck's going on with this guy? But he's crushing it. And sauce, man. Again, like, we could repeat the Joe Douglas,

like, he turned this player into this player every week. We can give you the long list of young guys that are playing well, but sauce Gardner, man, walking off that field in a cheese hat, pissing off Alan Lazard to the point that he walked over and knocked the fucking cheese hat off his... He had multiple photo ops at Lambo after the game.

He wasn't even walking off the field. He was like, this is my red carpet right now. You know why you do that, though? I would take these perfectly white teeth and smile all day. Honestly, bro, the reason you do that is because you don't see those guys who get in division. Like, they're not in your division. You don't have to see them later.

like you probably the only place you'll see him is the super bowl so you can fucking act up after a win like that and sauce gardener actually gets alan lizarre to knock the cheese hat off which means like lzard and when you're playing a young guy like sauce and he's really good it's frustrating you're like damn dude you've been at this three months i've been working my whole life i'm like a vet and i can't even when he's beat lzard had the ball and sauce comes in and punches it out like his length his closing ability his recovery his recovery the accuracy of his hands man like they're they're fun the young guys are fun breese hall we haven't even mentioned brees hall the end around he was supposed to pitch that yeah you know that he's just all daylight

trap i thought it was like the coolest trap in the world uh and they were at pressure into a trap seven needs a scrape tighter but like he's supposed to pitch that ball so ready for my coach of the year rankings yeah sure seven shaw mcdermott six arthur smith five pete carroll four robert sala three Kevin O'Connell to Nick Siriani won Brian Dable. That's pretty good. And a good time to remind the people that Dable rhymes with table. A lot of you people in the national media still don't have it. Congratulations Brian Dabal.

Yeah, you're right, you're right. Rhymes with Table. And and? Fable. No, but and the significance of that is. Mabel. Brian Table in fucking, he was in Buffalo. Like they missed the whole thing there, right?

Oh yeah, yeah, we're breaking, breaking tables. Yeah. And so anyways. Pretty good rankings though, huh? I like them. I can read them again later if you can. I don't know how those guys are. Roeback active wear.

Best way to describe Roebuck is best fit, best feel. When it comes to quality, Roeback just blows it out of the park every time. First, Roback's new performance hoodies are a total game changer. Maybe the softest, strangest hoodies in the game, from college athletes to professionals to podcasters like me. people can't take them off. The best thing about wearing a rowback hoodie is when you see somebody else wearing it,

you give them that nod because they know and you know. We get it. We're rowback guys. Second, Roeback's performance polos are the only polos we wear. Even if you're not a polo guy, these polos are perfect for a night out or day on the links with the boys. Their prints are cool too. Trust us when we say, the only polos we wear are rowback polos. Third, Robeck's performance

Q-Zips bring a new meaning to the word comfortable. Perfect for a run around the block or a day in the office. They are the definition of versatile. Best part is NFL guys are rocking them all over the league. You know, you got guys like Quentin Nelson wearing them. We got our guy

friend of the program, Sam Hubbard, wearing them. It's fair to say they're taken over. Now Alabama stud Will Anderson is the newest sponsored athlete. That's big news. Brian McGee's the best player in the country. Might be the Heisman trophy winner. And folks can use the code greenlight on rowback.com for a generous 20% off your first order that's spelled r-h-o-b-a-ck.com. That's 20% off your first order on all polos,

cuyps, hoodies, and teas with the code green light. The best gear for the summer, go check them out at roeback.com. Let's get Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh so we can get to this Kansas City Buffalo. Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh, man. This game was so interested. You gave out Pittsburgh. we were on this thing, man. Brady's record against Pittsburgh is irrelevant. This is a totally different situation. And you had to know coming off 383 that Pittsburgh was going to be undervalue.

That line kept creeping up. Brady's in New York Friday night for a Robert Kraft party. A wedding. Yeah, which turned out to be a wedding, which I kind of like that, like coming to my party. I like the surprise wedding.

Yeah. But Tom, like the NFL season that you're currently playing? Did he miss Friday meetings? Probably. You miss Saturday morning stuff, I think. See, that's where you can't, you know, I've played with guys. Did he miss Saturday morning stuff, Cowboy?

There's somebody because I mean, regardless, that's important because if you go out on a Friday and you can make it back, that's a baller. It's only important if you lose. His noodle isn't in the playbook. He also missed 10, 11 days in preseason camp. Right, and he didn't even fly with the team. Oh. Okay.

Sue him. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And also Mitch Chubeskyyubesky. He owns the bucks. Bill Belichick wasn't that, Robert Crass, surprise wedding. Six touchdown, five, six touchdowns in 2018 against the bucks. So beyond that, because, hey, like the backdrop is the Steelers are up in this game in the second half, right?

And then Pickett gets drilled by who the fuck killed him, Devin White. You missed a walk through. And then, yeah, he missed a walk through Saturday. So, like, I always say, I said this last night to Dr. Fax who's like, don't you think, you know, this is blah, blah. I'm like, guys have different rules until they lose that game. And then guys are like, damn. But it's not like Brady has a ton of help. It's not like the O'Lyme played real well for being honest.

Like I'm not caping for Brady. He wasn't his best. He also made like that throw to that tight end on the, on the, he put it on Spillane's left ear in the middle of the field to that, that Otten kid. It was like one of the best throws I saw all Sunday. But they couldn't get things going. They couldn't get things going in the red zone.

But Trubisky, Kyle, your boy, that was a big moment. for him like a legacy game for Trabiski because all he's done and we've talked about this before you're a big fan of his he showed up he he smiled he's been he's been a good teammate he's put his head down and he's worked and you know like I didn't take issue with the picket um you know thing but I felt bad for the kid and he comes in this game immediately third and 15 he converts that's a big confidence boost for not just him but the whole offense being like okay like we're still we can do stuff, right? We got two dudes who can swing it.

Yeah. Third and 15, big confidence boosts. Third and 13 to Claypool, extend the scoring drive. Third and 16 to Claypool with three minutes ago. Third and 11 with two minutes ago, Ices it with his legs like he was a third and long machine. He's a threat. There were some of these guys, yeah, you've been waiting to say he's a fucking threat.

He's a threat, bro. But Matt Canada, not the best play caller in my opinion, but they did enough early to get pick it going, short, easy completions. That first scoring drive. Devin White had a big penalty, and then they dropped Harris in coverage for a touchdown. Turns out that was a lot of what they needed to do was get on the board, get seven early. Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Yeah. Hello. Shout out to Kyle, who was a big birds fan and a little green light pod listener. Oh, Kyle. Okay. Shout out. Matt Canada. Got you there.

You got it. Matt Canada. So the buck struggled like inside against Pittsburgh. you know, Pittsburgh defensive interior. They showed up big. Just a couple examples. We talked about the Red Zone with the Bucks. Like there's,

there's an opportunity for them to go up like 10-7. They're down 7-3-0 in this ballgame. And first down, Hayward, Olaid's, get a key. First down, so you have no gain, one yard. Ogun Joby slides past Hainesley or Hainesie, it's Hainesie. Hainesie. Yeah, Ogun Joby slides past Hainzy for a TFL. He needs to get more handsy.

And then Hayward blows up, get a key on third down. and Hayward's playing with his fucking hair on fire. And when the offense is on the field, Cam is six inches off the field, invested in every single play that's going on. I love that guy. He's a fucking, he's a men. He's a pro's a pro's pro.

There was some like little five-yard. There's only a handful of those guys in the league making. Procedural call. And Hayward's over there. What the fuck are we doing? He's a football guy. He forced a, he forced a punt on a third and two. Highsmith had a strip sack, the next possession.

you know, you had Wormley destroying a block on third and one backed up. But I just mentioned four or five situations where the D-line immediately affected possession, whether it was a four-point play in the low red, whether it's forcing a punt, whether it's flipping field position, warmly backed up on third and one. So there were a lot of big swing moments of this game, but none bigger than that kickoff return out of the half, in my opinion. Because when you're a bad team, quote-unquote, and you're beating a good team, quote-unquote, whether you're at home or on the road,

your biggest fear is coming out of a half where you played well, like, what do they have for us? If we get pinned, taking the kick out of the half and go three and out, like Tom Brady's going to be on our head, this kid who got hawked by Nacobie Dean,

but they set them up for at least points and got out of the shadow of their own ends on. That was huge, man, not to mention the Vita Vaya getting caught running off the field and them converting for 45 to Hayward. There were a couple big swing moments in this game where it was one loss and Tomlin and the Steelers dug deep in the bag to get this one. You know those things at the airport that get large people from terminal terminal?

The moving sidewalks. More the private. The transperation. They need one for Vita. They need one for Vita to get him off the field. Like when he's late. A little orange light. Send one out.

Dude in an American Airlines. Guy in a suit. Yeah. Yeah. Steelers were 0 and 8 before Sunday without T.J. Watt. Now 1 and 8. It's a big win for the Steelers because it shows what you're capable of. Like you don't have T.J. Watt.

He's going to come back this year. Still think they're pretty not good. No, but I think they're okay. I don't think they're bad, bro. I don't think they're a bad team. When they had T.J. Watt in the lineup. They're not a bad team. Are they going to finish the season above 500?

It's Tomlin. At Dolphins. Huge. Keep going. Sunday night. At dolphins, at Eagles. At Eagles. Are the next two.

Okay. Keep going. At Dolphins, at Eagles, home Saints. Home Bingles. Like, they're some. You could put anybody almost other than the bottom seven teams in the league and be like, oh, the Bengals, and the Bengals haven't been playing good football. I wanted to play a game with you two, cats. I think the Saints can line up and run it all over.

Called next three games. Are you ready? Yeah. For the bays, the two bays, battle of the bays. Okay. Tampa Bay. Okay. Currently three in three.

Okay. At Carolina, home Baltimore, home Los Angeles Rams. Take your time. What are they going to go? Yeah. Tampa Bay. At Carolina. At Carolina. W. Home Baltimore. Lost. Home Los Angeles Rams.

Win. That might be a loss. I think they go three and oh. I think they're six and three. I'm just thinking with my Tampa Bay under win total hat on because that's a big bet. Green Bay. At Washington. At Buffalo at Detroit. Three straight road games coming up. At Washington. Two and one. At Buffalo at Detroit. One and two. I got one and two.

But knowing the way this thing goes, they probably fucking play with Buffalo or something. You know, it's just, that's the way this thing goes. Can I say something that's not very nice? What? Todd Bowles as a head coach wins 39.7% of the games. He, he, he, I don't know if it's not nice. I think it's just facts. 29 and 44.

We don't say, you know, it's not very nice that Lamar Jackson went one for seven in the red zone, but it's just factual. Bruce is still in the building. But if, like, at what point do you say, hey, Tom, you're going to need. need to rejoin the team. But it's not, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's, it's, it's literally them missing players that they thought they, they counted on to start the year.

They can't go to Russell Gage two out of three times in the red zone from the 10 yard line. They're missing, you know, Gronk, they're, who retired and everything and he's on Fox now. My dad's teammate now. My dad has a red zone target, but like, you know, they're missing guys inside offensively. Like they, they don't plan for that.

Now this is where it's their fault. They're like, oh, let me, go get Julio Jones. Exactly. Okay. And Mike Evans doesn't play 17 games. So the problem is held, and the problem is the condition of that roster right now.

All right, Ken City Buffalo, Kyle. So it's start, I mean, the game started off. I think it might have been the start of the game that threw me off a little bit emotionally because Buffalo drives down,

they fumble. Chiefs go down there, throws a pick. And then the game starts, right? It's like, okay we got we pit we both kind of pised down our legs a little bit but the fumble was more costly i feel like an indicative of uh it wasn't as good to play as the potential touchdown that pat through in the corner

of the end zone when he scrambled out to the right through a 50 50 ball we've seen that ball come down in the cheese hands a million times yeah um but throughout the game you know robo set it on the broadcast it was going to be taking what you can get and when the explosives come you got to hit it you can't miss that opportunity. And we saw Josh Allen not missing many opportunities. Gabe Davis, huge. Stefan Diggs, huge. Roger Saffold in the lineup, huge in protection, allowing Josh Allen to stand back there

and do his thing. You talked about the Bill's defense. They fly around. It's so fun. Like nobody's business. One thing I love from the Chiefs is Jet McKinnon in shotgun. They can put Jet McKinnon out at receiver. There's a lot of motion with him.

you're not going to line up Clyde Allaire at receiver and he does that sometimes as nature of the offense but I like to see that wrinkle when you get that checkdown style of a game to put a guy like Jet McKinnon on the field it can add a lot of value to an offense no question and you know from the chiefs and the things like

and Von Miller was the X factor Von Von Miller is the guy and like listen it wasn't spectacular he had to work for these rushes it wasn't like he was just ghost technique and motherfuckers like he had to work Pat was drifting. Pat was patting the ball sometimes, but the last three drives, he forces a field goal. He's got a sack that gets him off the field.

Jack over the top. Yep. And then the third drive, he forces the pick, obviously. Underneath. Listen, again, it's not one of these games that you have to draw too much from, like, because every single game in this trilogy now or whatever it is has been different, right? You know, you had the first game in the playoffs where the bills, they were kind of like cute. They were like, oh, you can't keep up with the fucking chiefs. And before the half, you got to think about going for it and that sort of thing.

And you couldn't keep pace with them. Then the next year you had that, I think they beat him in Arrowhead last year. And then they go to the playoffs and lose to them. So they're all different games. And so, like, there's nothing you can really draw from individual games between these two teams. They're going to see each other a billion times as our kids are growing up and becoming young adults. Like our kids are going to be in college with Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen posters on the wall and they're going to be looking back fondly at this shit like it's like, you know, Bulls Nicks

or Brady and Manning. And I think that's really cool that our sport has something like that to hang their hat on, especially in a year where look around, dude, you know, all that glitters is not gold with some of these quarterbacks, right? I'm not saying they're not great, but they're going to be up and down years for guys. Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, they can fly in any weather. It doesn't matter. It's a God-given advantage, right? Like Patrick Mahomes was touched by God physically. He can do things with his arm and his legs and his mind. Josh Allen physically different. It's like watching the tape of, you know, a Hall of Famer playing high school against the kids who's playing. It's like Josh Allen's jumping over guys. He's running over guys. Taking the best tackle from, you know, Nick Bolton, whoever. They just look pedestrian next to him. That's the difference. Patrick's mind. in his arm, Josh's body, his arm, and his mind. It's crazy to watch. Yeah, it's incredible.

Josh, by all accounts, like, brilliant cat, too, and, uh, and those two drives to, you know, the one to end the half. I think it was a 96 play drive and then, and then the second half to finish the game off with that touchdown. Like, these are the money drives. And you're like, is there anybody you trust more than Josh Allen with the ball in his hands? I know you probably say Patrick Mahomes, but I, like, flip a coin for that. I had Buffalo last night and I legit. legitimately did not blink when they got the ball back and needed a touchdown. Like did not blink.

I was like, they're going to score. It's like Madden. Whoever has the ball last, right? Like, not enough time. It's just Josh. Like the way offenses get bogged down in conversion situations is when,

fuck, nobody's open, can't evade the rush, can't see. You know, guys just kind of like, Josh Allen, even when nobody's open,

you can always extend a play. He runs people. So when you need four, you're in four down territory, there's nobody better than Josh Allen, in my opinion. Except Kyle. Kansas City.

did have the ball last and I feel like the narrative has been hey look they don't need Tyreek well what was a lot different yesterday than the 13 seconds where they beat Buffalo in the playoffs last year was that big chunk to Tyreek catch and run before the Kelsey

whatever we're calling that from the slot where he said just freaking throw it to me the big difference is Von Miller the big difference is a guy you can win with on the edge regardless of who's out there there, you know, Andrew Wiley had his hands full against a Hall of Famer yesterday. I think I put Checo now, dude. You get beat around the edge.

You get beat on the high side by Von Miller. And then in your head, you're thinking, he's got so much speed. I need to get back there on this set. Next time down the field, Von Miller sets up his two-minute drive inside rush with the outside rush, the drive before. That's called manifesting. That's what these guys are doing. That's the game you're playing when you're playing against Von Miller.

that's the X factor. Tyreek Hill obviously is missed but it's a different formula. Juju Smith-Schuster was incredible yesterday. I loved watching him after the catch.

He was able to take hits. He looks great. He did some yoga in the end zone. We said that. We said he was going to have a big year. Chaco, man, looks like Tyreek Hill pre-cutting off the hair. Same size.

Same size. I think he might be a little bigger. 10, 216. Yeah, a little.

We got the best of the rest here coming up. We got a couple games that are not going to get the love and attention to these five brilliant football games between great teams are naturally going to get. So I'm going to put us on the clock. We're going to get two minutes a game here. We might not need all two minutes for these games. Okay. Let's start with Minnesota Miami.

Okay. Minnesota's having fun. That's what it is. And we're going to go over for two minutes on this one because Kirk Cousins had a fucking chain on the plane, a chain on the plane, which in his community is the equivalent of being invited to play golf at the country club. Like you're in, dude. Like you are in the social circle. Dude, these guys have accepted you. Multiple chains.

They literally put multiple chains. Now you got the juice. So Kirk Cousins got the juice. maybe best plane ride home there's some candidates for that but they're having fun man they're having fun out there it looked like a fucking flash do you remember flash mobs it looked like a flash mob when they score that touchdown everybody's doing different dances they're having so much fun dude they're making me like them it helps that i have the the overwind total but they're making me like them and kirk cousins got chains on so i you know i

don't have much to say other than that zedaria smith is awesome he had like 10 pressures yesterday and it's costing the Vikings $3 million to have Zadaria Smith on a team it's costing the Packers $11 million. That's what I call a double whammy. There's another team with a small point differential plus 21 despite being 5 and 1. The Jags have a point differential of plus 24. They're two and four. For context.

Christian Derisaw, Minnesota Vikings, Mauler left tackle. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you like him. Malah. Like I liked Penae Soel. Now I'm a Christian Dera. guy. I want to see it. Hey, just go to A. I have no idea what his face looks like. He's, he played college ball in South West Virginia. So he's the guy on the team that he's a hokey.

Chris, yeah, yeah, I remember when a reporter calls in to say, can I do a story with you coach? Yeah. What do you want to talk about? And the coach says, I want to talk about Christian Derasol. That's the culture. I like how excited this guy gets you. That's the culture. I mean, I think it's been 300 plus snap since he's given up past snap since he's given up a pressure. or a hit or anything like that. Like he's doing Lane Johnson type stuff on the left side and he's being freakish about it. Well, we're at two minutes,

so we can't praise that hokey anymore. Love it. But yeah, like good news for them. And Miami, I got it in. And Miami I'll gain them. Sideline temperature. 177. What's the difference in the sideline temperature?

It's like 20, 30 degrees. Insane, dude. I hate that place. Fuck Miami, dude. Okay. Nice, Kyle. Let's not say that. I really like Miami.

I just think like next time I go down there, I'll make a jump by a bunch of five foot seven guys. And it's going to be, a place of death for you. Nobody really knows. You're in South Beach. You're in the 305. Are you in Hollywood, Florida?

Cross on the road. Beaten up to death over to a tagging. Pines, Fort Lauderdale. Yeah. Yeah. Who the hell knows. All right. New England,

New England Cleveland. Bailey, Zappi make me happy. Okay, Zappy, he didn't, he made, the throw to Parker was amazing. Early in the game, the throw to Parker was great. But that takes the Browns out of the game offensively.

It takes their guns. It dulls their swords. Here's the lead. Bill Belichick always takes it to the Browns. You know why? Because Jim Brown is watching. And Jim Brown is like his favorite person on the planet. Here's what it goes for Bill Belichick.

Number one, the Navy. Number two, Jim Brown. Bill Belichick's America's team. Okay. Yeah, Bill Belichick's America's teams really like this. The Navy, Jim Brown, and then lacrosse. And it might be lacrosse just because Jim Brown. So Jim Brown is a central figure, bro.

When we went to Cleveland, it was a big deal to beat those guys. And then, like, after the game, he was like, stop the bus. And we, like, all got off the bus at Jim Brown statue and took a big team picture, bro. Like, the bus is stopped in Cleveland traffic, which is not much of because people leave the game early. But, like, we stopped. And it's like me, Gronk, Nenko, like, a bunch of guys, like, doing a fucking class photo in front of a Jim Brown statue. Jim Brown's so good they changed the rules to the cross. That's what they say.

And it's all Jim Brown, not because the Browns fired him once upon a time. I think there's that. Did you guys know that? But I think Jim Brown, have you heard that? He just chest the ball. I think Jim Brown is like, is like the only person built by the check ever had like a poster of. Like he absolutely loves this guy. When I took my visit to New England, Bill's office is like in a storage closet.

And behind the door is one of those rubber made trash bins like a, big black trash bag thing. It's just filled with the cross sticks. I was like this guy is wild. A little breaking news hidden in there. Long chooses chiefs over Patriots. That's interesting. Broken right here on Greenlight. What happened there? No, that might have been

the draft. There's just a mention of it. I think it might have been the draft. Was that the draft? Was that sort of drafting New England? I did visit New England in pre-draft. So there you go. There's a draft. You know who I think? Bill was the first one to call me Guys, we're at 205.

You know the thing that Bill really, he's like that about as the Jets? Like he hates the Jets. I think with the Browns, he, I bet you if I text to the guys, they stopped the statue yesterday. I'm going to text to Evan McCord. Stop the Jim Brown statue. And if I were the Jets, I might hate Bill and they likely do. Yeah.

That whole one day thing you might remember. Maybe not after this year. Bailey's Appie or Mac Jones? Billy's Appie. Come on, Kyle. He's the same guy. had Cooper Rush over Dak Prescott. He's got that way.

He's on the field's bus or off the field's bus. I'm on it. I've been on it. You've been on it. It's on record. I have record. I have record. On radio.

On tweet. You jumped off like saving Silverman. Show me that. I will. I can't do it right now. Well, when we get there. When we get there. You know?

I'm on the train. He's on the train. He's on the train. He walks in. He goes, I'd like to talk about the Jets because I'm a big Joe Douglas fan. Well, he was in Chicago. You in America. Yeah.

Everybody loves Joe Douglas now. I feel like not everybody knows who Joe Douglas is, though. Oh, come on. Cowboy. All right. Ready? Start. We're talking about Indian Jacksonville.

I got a few things to say about this game. Jackson's lost three straight. The defense didn't get any fucking turnovers. That's a big deal. No sacks. No turnovers. Why? Because Matt Ryan got the ball out quicker.

They're missing Taylor and Heinz. They get something out of this Jackson kid who I picked up for fantasy, like five minutes before the fucking game. 58 pass attempts. His fucking arm is sore today. I don't know if there's a Epson Salt

distributor near you, Matt but go get some. Alec Pierce with the game winner. The kid's good, man. Yeah. Does Matt Ryan know his name now? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you hear that?

No, I didn't. Before the game, he was like, Mo Green or whatever. He was like, you know, two weeks ago, he's like in a great touchdown catch by Mo Green, we can pull it up. Yeah, he said the wrong name. Well, I'll tell you whose name he knows.

Michael Pittman. Is Michael Pittman. 16 targets. And he knows Griffin's name. Is it Shaq Griffin? Yeah. Shaq Griffin,

they went at him all day, a couple PIs. The game winner, obviously went for the juggler on third and 13, but, you know, now this team is looking up

at the Titans. I was going to say they know our Jolani Woods guy's name. Matt Ryan knows his name. Another Tud for him. But like, that's who he doesn't know. They're going to look back at this game

and be like, we had a real opportunity here. I really do, like, this is the Jags. They were, they were looking down at the tight.

Titans and the Colts, those guys were wounded. When you have teams down in your division, you have to win ballgame. They've lost three straight. So I think this one sucks. And the tempo got to them, I think, a little bit. You know, Doug talked about the tempo and how it negated their pass rush. And that can really do that, Kyle. You know that.

Like, if you guys can keep up and you guys aren't breathing all hard and shit and your condition, we have trouble with that. We're the only group on the field that doesn't rotate. So we are conditioned. run that far. Like some of y'all run a long way to get sucked off by your coaches and meetings. Oh my God. Look how far I ran. I'm right next to the run play. But, but like, I feel like the same has done for defense. For sure. Are we at two minutes? Thanks, Fried. But yeah, you guys, you know, let's stay here. You guys, you don't rotate, but you take three kick steps and then you watch

AJ Brown run. We have to take three kick steps and then cover 15 yards downfield and pick up the ball carrier. Kyle, did you cover 15 yards down? field all the time all the time. No, we had four other guys that I taught to do that. You employed him. I played safety. You were like playing soccer. He just hangs out at midfield and lets everybody gather around the goal.

And then he like congratulates people. That's great. That's so good. All right. Let's start. Atlanta, San Francisco. Atlanta, Giant South. Ooh.

Like scrap hay, dude. And run the dog shit. of the ball on the Niners who gave up 168 yards on the ground. Falcons went for 168. Niners had allowed 357 through five weeks. Caleb Huntley, Tyler Algeria, BYU, and Mario to all rush for more than 50, 50 or more. Arthur Smith, man, low-key. As you all might remember, number six, my coach of the year rankings.

That's good. Some people think he deserves more respect. Well, the Falcons are averaging a first down or touchdown once every 3.1 plays only behind Buffalo, Kansas City, and Baltimore. Falcons are incredible. Look at that. They're incredible. Tell me that, Reed. Leading receiver, Alamedes of Keyes.

And listen, I'm that, that, I'm, I'm ready to, what's the word when you, when you just, when you give up? I'm not even going to quit. Yeah, I'm going to quit. I'm quitting the Falcons under wind total. I'm saying, Uncle, the number's five. Like, they're going to hit that next week somehow. They've got the Panthers, two of the next four weeks. Yeah, they play the Panthers twice.

So we're done there. By the way, Bucks, 11 and a half under. They need to go nine and two for me to lose. I actually feel pretty good about that. That was a big swing game. Vikings over nine and a half. I got the Rams under nine and a half.

That was a live one I hit yesterday. Wow. And then the Texans over four and a half, which probably not going to happen. So, all right, let's go. We're still under a minute there. Two minutes, sorry. Guys, we're crushing this.

Okay. Niners banged up. That was an easy call. Listen to your green light pod picks. Yeah, no question, but I fucking put them in a teaser. Oh. Yeah. They were catching like five and a half.

You went like 11 and three. We went good. We were good yesterday. They didn't charge up the boom box down there. So the other games that we kind of care about. Rams and Panthers. We'll talk about Robbie Anderson in the mentions. That was fun.

Okay, so we'll save that game. There's nothing really to talk about in that game. You know, PJ Walker's out there playing ancient Matt Stafford, Cam Acres, their only good back is like, I'm out with personal reason, which is basically him and McVeigh getting together and being like, he's like, I'm not going to play for you, coach. And coach is like, well, I don't want you to play for me because I'm trading you. Like, I don't want you to get hurt.

And they're like, all right, good. That sounds pretty personal. Somebody was like, what do you think the personal reason is? I think it's just business. It's actually ironic. This is a business reason. That's the funniest thing. But it's not personal.

No, it's not personal. He's out with business. He's out for business reasons, bro. Next week, doubtful checking account. Or business. Okay.

I got nothing to say about the game. Seattle, Arizona. Dan Rolowski said it this morning. I caught this morning on the way in. Dan Rolovsky said, if fucking Dion, he didn't say fucking.

because you know he goes to church. If DeAndre Hopkins, if DeAndre Hopkins is that important and he's that big of an excuse for why you're playing so terribly, then give him all Cliff Kings for his money. Dan Rolowski with a spicy take. And it's true though,

because like you can't claim to be some dynamo on offense have this wildly talented quarterback. Everybody can see this kid's talent. Everybody can see this kid's talent. And he's out there, just like everything's on him. And he has a study issue. Like, we know that. So

nothing, nothing's lining up real good for the Cardinals. And it's not like the second half of seasons is where they shine. So, I'm fading the fuck out of the Cardinals, man. And I'm buying, I want to say this, Tarek Wollin, who made a couple of nights plays yesterday,

the UTSA kid. Roadrunners. Saus Gardner's getting a lot of attention right now. This kid has four picks in four weeks. giving up a 36.9 pass rating. He's a big physical cat like in the mold of those Pete Carroll corners and like they stole him in like the fifth round

I think he was receiver at UTSA this kid's gonna be really good so I think we're kind of at the precipice of where we can no longer be Tariq Will and hipsters he's gonna be a national name at some point in. Was he a junior college guy? I'm gonna find out right now. They did about a 30, 40 second highlight cut up

of Kenneth Walker runs and my mouth was a gait. A gate. A gate. That's such a good word too. I mean, he's, he's, he's, he's turpin except as a, every down back now for Seattle. So Seattle quietly, are they good or are they not good? This is the question we should be asking. Seattle, good or not good.

Well, there's no middle ground? Good. Yeah, Seattle, good. If I have to pick them, good. Good. Yeah. Fun is fuck. Gino.

Awesome. Atlanta, good or not good? Fun. Not good. I'll go not good but only because I have to Giants, good or not good. Good. Not good. Also fun.

Not good? You said we were going to find out next week. Yeah, but no, no, no. I didn't say that. I said they're going to lose next week. That doesn't mean they're not good. I think they're not as, they're not crownable. We were only given two options. We're just good or not good. That's why I'm here. It's a new second option. Bengals versus Saints, any thoughts before I hit the mentions?

Oh, no thoughts, man. I had the fucking saints. And this looked perfect for, for, for, 58 minutes, man. And that's the way gambling works. But like the Bengals, the Eagles, man, it was funny. We were sitting up there, had him on the small TV. I had basically almost damn circled them with my green marker. And they end up losing that ball game.

Reed and I were talking and, or Kingston maybe, somebody was like, are we panicking about the Bengals or something? Or, you know, are they bad? I think somebody said, are the Bengals bad? The thing that everybody's worried about with the Bengals was Joe Burrow getting going on the passing game. They got that done yesterday. I mean, they got going in the passing game.

The thing they didn't do yesterday was stop the fucking run. I mean, the Saints ran all over these guys. And I was kind of putting in a perspective. Not to bring up another 2018 Eagle story, but these are instructive stories, man. Like we were bad for 10 games after our Super Bowl. We were 4 and 6 before we made the playoffs. And it wasn't indicative of your roster.

No, it's indebtive. indicative of the process that goes through grinding and the fatigue and the complacency by some guys and the replacement of parts, like that's another thing. Like usually Super Bowl teams don't overhaul their whole offensive line, so it's kind of unprecedented to compare them to another team with a Super Bowl hangover. And the other thing about this team is,

we've said this as well. They were a 10 and 7 team. Like they were not- They just won big games. They weren't a perennial world-beater team. So maybe what we saw, The second half of last year for Sinci was a run. I don't think so.

I think they're a good team, and I think they're going to be dangerous, and people aren't going to want to see them in December, but it might take some time. It was the same thing with the Eagles when we won in 17. We were not like some perennial powerhouse. We were a shooting star. And then in 18, we came back down to Earth.

So which shooting stars don't do. Joe Burrow Lamar Chase's Jersey, right? It was cool. So are they a shooting star? Are they an asteroid? your your little your little upstart shooting star team was 10 and 1 and 13 and 3 who the eagle super bowl team I know but nobody thought we were going to be good like we weren't constructed to be perennially good remember the underdogs we were picked yeah well I know you

guys like to poke holes and things that are actually significant we got our ass kicked by you guys he's only one of us who doesn't have you guys I didn't bring that up we I think we might have been underdogs against you player yeah you guys had a that's a that's a what I'm saying. Like, you guys had a great, you guys had a great roster. Like, you look at the match. I mean, and it's like if we're playing the Bengals in my hypothetical football team that I play for, if I'm playing the Bengals, it's a matchup nightmare on paper.

Here's what you don't understand about shooting stars because you're smart but sometimes dumb. The fucking shooting star, it burns hot and it goes fast. So being 10 in one doesn't disqualify you from being a shooting star. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So perfect analogy. Thank you. Appreciate it. 60 seconds late, but thank you for the compliment.

It's a shooting star. It goes fast and then it burns out. The same thing with the Bengals. We hope not, but they could be that kind of team. And when you have a quarterback like Joe Burrow, the window can close and open, but it's not going to just perennially be open when you have to retool offensive linemen.

You have the Super Bowl hangover, and you have a bunch of young guys that don't know how to win yet, bro. And don't know how to lose yet either because some guys that are just there went to the AFC championship, went to the Super Bowl. Don't let them hang around.

That's just what happens. Like when I went to the cheese, I won't name any names. There's guys that think they're going to be there every year, you know? All right. So we've got to get into our Miller Light mentions. Before mentions, we're going to talk some coaches, specifically what coaches you would want to hang out bottle service side. Which ones are you doing? So we're going to pick five.

You guys pick five coaches that we can take, you want to hang out with bottle service. Do a little bottle service action. Well, that came up yesterday. for reasons sort of unknown. Bottle service. Bottle service. I've only had bottle service with one person in my entire life.

Me too. You. You. You. On multiple occasions. Club space. Yeah. We went to Club Space.

I don't know what that is. It's quite a club. I don't, I'm not sure we know what it was. Live, too. Live, we went to live. He had glitter on his fucking face the next day. Yeah, Rihanna was there.

He did the math. Yeah, okay. That's all I'm saying. He had glitter on his face at the Miami, Virginia. game. In a working capacity, yes. He was up in the booth with glitter. I looked up at a fellow co-worker

who said, you have glitter all over your face right now. I didn't have time. I'd wake up and just get on the bus. It was incredible. Coach Groh made us stay about three hours away from the city. Here's what I went.

I went number one. I went, Dan Campbell. No, I went number one Mike Tomlin. Mike Tomlin would be a fucking great time. Don't you think? Oh, absolutely. Like Mike Tomlin would be the man in the club.

He would have you acting like the most player version of you. He'd have shades on the club. The most NFL player version of you would come out with Mike Tomlin. Number two for me, Dan Campbell, he would split a bucket of beers. I oftentimes order a bucket of beers at a nightclub. You know, everybody else is speeding up. It's only 1 a.m. like, I got to slow down. So a bucket of metal lights.

Campbell. Number three, I had McDaniel, but I think I'm actually going to put Arthur Smith in there after yesterday. So Arthur Smith. it'll be his first time in the club you think yeah okay and then fourth fuck I don't want to forget anybody Lovey Smith because I need a guy

that when I'm blacking out can be the voice of reason you need a paternal figure in the club like love would be like Chris don't do that you know like that and I would listen even in my most hollow-eyed state and then five I'll go Mike Rable for the reasons of Dan Campbell

but he might start fights kind of dangerous both of those guys same crew no I don't want him in the the same crew. I'm ranking. You can't have more than one coach in the club. Okay. You went with a lot of football guys. Yeah. I can't stand football guys, just meatheads just can't even get them out of their element. So I went with hot guys. I want hot guys with me in the club. Hold on. We have the same list, don't we? Maybe. I had Arthur Smith, man. I want I want hot guys who can talk to me about something other than football, okay? Now, you might, I say this name. You say, hot. Well,

teach his own, okay? I'm going Kyle Shanning. hand. I'm going Nick Siriani, that beautiful beard. I'm going Cliff Kingsbury. I'm going Sean McVeigh, and then I'm going Maddie LaFleur. Was that a rank of the hottest coaches in the NFL? A little bit. What? A little bit. You got

they're a, hey, they're all fit as a fiddle. Where did you have Cliff Kingsbury? Three? Cliff Kingsbury was hot 15 years ago, dude. Cliff's hot. Cliff Kingsbury's living off 15 years ago. Save it. I got it right here. He's living all 15 years ago. Cliff's hot. He's got that good haircut.

Oh, people know he has a nice house. So you're definitely going to get people to come with you after the club. That's part of it. Those sunglasses, a nice taut face. Him and Siriotti have got to combine three hours of sleep. A little, I, hey. In a week. The bags under the eyes of Siriani, they play, especially in Philly. He's like he's so incensed the wind, dude.

And then he's not black Mark of Micah Parsis. He's up all night thinking about not blocking Micah Parsons. And then he's like, hey, bottle of goose in the club. with M.G. It's a party list. I like your list. Thank you. Different lists. Who's on your list?

It's good to have different lists. Oh, good. We're going to have every coach in the league. I'm leading off with Brian Dayball. A culture setter. Oh, he just, he's a great one. He's a culture setter.

You want him. And he's also. He's excited about, he's also from Canada. Is he really? And Canadians are fun to party with. And coached Alabama. Dude to Ron Rivera.

Because he will call it like it is. I've got Clifford. Cliff Kingsbury because he looks like he was an extra in the hangover and he probably has Sigs. He probably does have ears. Lovey Smith. What kind of Sigs is Cliff Kingsbury? Camel Crush because he's keeping in mind the women because, you know, some women like to menthol it up. Yeah, that's true.

You know? Some men, too. Newport. If men are most of menthols, they're Newport. They're Newport. Lovie Smith. I almost played for him. Also, some good stories in the club.

That beard is also just plays well in the club. Kyle Shanahan. great exit plan if things go south also a little family overlap there you know his dad coached our dad oh yeah yeah you tell stories that going on so like some of the fans i mean like number two bellichick somebody Trevor renfro ranked bellichick number two great conversationalist this is from twitter he doesn't i was like what uh McCarthy five so i can fight him this guy he's going to invite mccarthy to club to to live and then just beat the shit out of him just jump him in the homies just jump him

somebody said two Liz Barnes said two Belichick want to hear his stories about hanging with Sabin it's loud in the fucking club you think Belichick is going to carry a conversation with you he doesn't even talk to reporters he's contractually obligated to do that he's not going to talk to you Liz

right exactly he got another bottle of Greg Goose no sparklers sparklers are a little fucking much I said Nick you know I see out there

Okay, let's get the mentions. I don't know what you're saying into your microphone. I love Bill telling you a story. Oh my God, look at this. Look at this. This is from Devin McCordy. They did it. Yes, it's the Jim Brown statue.

He stopped at the Jim Brown statute. Of course, Dev posted it to his story because he's kiss ass. He's, just in case Bill's checking everybody's Instagram stories. Captain Debs got to put it up on the store. I'm just joking. Hey, his brother's doing NFL Network, right? Oh, he's so good at it, too. No, he's doing good morning football.

Good morning football. He's dominated. morning for you i think they they they divorced their uh solo uh social accounts didn't they they're good for them they're their own that was really big that was their own micordy's yeah that was big yeah also another divorce to talk about takes the heat off of brady and giselle right about the team player cori ultimate team i thought that was such a fucking cop out though who's saying it i don't know could be either of the twins also like we get it your twins and we get it you look the same, you look the exact same.

It's hard to differentiate you too and you have the same account. You can hang your hat on this marketing strategy. Great taste, less filling. Okay, let's do it. Time for the Miller Light mentions. The best moments in a sports fans 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've got to have the Miller Light stocked up. A lot of light beer cuts back on the most crucial ingredient flavor, which is 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 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 Miller Lite.com slash Greenlight 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. Chris, your best plane ride. It's got to go to probably, probably. It's got to go to probably. Kirk Cousins, probably. I mean, with the chains and everything. like I said, this is like a right of passage. You're no longer a quarterback. You're a football player now. He's going to the good cow.

Congratulations, New York Jets. Best plane ride. You're a good football team. I've got the Jets for the best plane ride as well, bringing home some souvenirs too. Worst plane ride, Cal. The Bucks, obviously. Oh, I don't know if it's so obvious.

I think it's obvious because as an offensive lineman, after getting chewed out on national television by my Hall of Fame quarterback to go and then you've got to fly home. The whole thing sucks. awkward city. Robbie Anderson? Did he go home on the team plane?

He probably drove home. How about the guy sitting next to Robbie Anderson? I might want to give worse plane right out to the guy who sat next to Robbie Anderson. Robbie Anderson doesn't say shit. I guarantee it on planes. And after that game, it's a long one. That's a long flight. Y'all's planes go fast, but that's still a long one.

I'll give you the worst ride home. Poirer got hurt. Yeah, 15 hours. I've never heard of that. 15 hour car ride because his ribs are fucked up. Amazing. He's probably just going out right now. I'll go Arizona Cardinals.

He's probably watching McGruber. You're two and four. He can't laugh because his ribs are fucked up. They're going to coach with him. He seems fine. He's watching McGruber. Go ahead. The cards are two and four and you're playing on Thursday night.

That's a tough scene. Real tough scene. What's next? Frank Gore Memorial Award. Easy. The player bawling out in relative obscurity. Matt Ryan, 58 throws, as you mentioned earlier, a guy threw his arm off the fucking AC joint there

for what? Nobody was watching. For the AFC South is for what? They're still battling down there in the AFC South. I'm going to go with that DC defense from Thursday night, all right? Oh yeah, Montez Sweat. Listen to some of these names. Montes Sweat, Duram Payne, Jonathan Allen, F.A. Obata, Jamon Davis, Rashad Wild Goose.

Guy's guys names Wild Goose. I almost stopped. I did stop the game. Ben St. Juiced, Cam Curl. This is a fun little. You ever just stopped the game? and take a picture of something. Yeah, I just have nothing to do with it.

I got a picture of Wild Goose in my fucking phone. I have no idea what to do it. Workshop in that. Shout out to that defense. My STL Memorial slash Frank Gore Award will go to the New York Football Jets offensive line, Dwayne Brown, Lakin Tomlinson, Connor McGovern. Herbig, last name Herbig. That's right.

We've got Elijah Vera Tucker, guys who have been asked to step up in unique situations this year. From guard to tackle, Elijah. Left tackle. Left guard. right tackle. I mean, he plays everywhere, and he has ambitious about it, and I love that the Jets are coming together

as an offensive line. Fly on the wall, we've talked about it. Robbie Anderson, just let's give me a transcript. What was going on there? Because the coach was like, I wish you would punch me in the face.

Like, I wish you would. Which is an odd, like the NFL is amazing. Like, I guess in baseball they do this. I guess in basketball they do this sometimes, but coaches and players just getting down and dirty. It's theater. It's great theater.

And Robbie Anderson might have done that on purpose is he wants the fuck out of there. But did he ruin his trade value? People are like, he's not trying to fight us. A little bit. That's why he's got to go somewhere like Green Bay, where Rogers can be like, listen, man. He's good.

You don't fuck with a guy with a haircut like Aaron Rogers, bro. My fly on the wall is, well, actually I'm going to call it the fish in the river award in Knoxville because the goalposts are now in their river. I'd love to be a fish in that river. Yeah, just swimming around. See all the people run up like, holy shit, what is happening? and then a big giant metal thing gets thrown in there. Oh, another asshole of the week.

The SEC fining Tennessee $100,000 for... I love rules, though. You love rules. That's wild. Okay, okay, okay, fly on the wall. Keenan Allen and Brandon Staley as they work that tweet out. The fan perspective, did you hear this? He was tweeting from a fan perspective?

Strange. It's really strange. Good bud. If you guys ever want to complain about me or like just talk about how shitty I am as a boss, just do it from a fan perspective. Yes. Chris from a fan perspective, you know. Keenan Allen,

unlikely to play tonight or something, huh? Versus the Broncos. Unlikely to play. Oh, Keen Allen. Okay. Yeah. Hollow Man, I'm going to go, Kyle Larson in NASCAR.

Is he your hollow man as well? Well, it was on the dock, and it was on the dock because of me. So I'll get, my hollow man, it was not that. Okay. Kyle Larson said a racist thing

last year famously on a video game channel. And then what does he do yesterday? He wrecks the only black dude, Bubba Wallace, in the entire race track. And then Bubba Wallace comes to throw hands. And Kyle Larson's like, I really can't do anything about this right now because if I fight back. It was a tremendous Devante Adams shove there on Kyle Larson. If that car wasn't there, if that cup car is not there, Kyle Larson's flying into the racetrack pretty much.

Kyle Larson's like, don't you remember the video game thing? Like, I literally can't fight you. man I got nothing for you I got nothing for you man so he's hollow man just for saying racist shit and then on top of it a year later having to have to get punked by hollow man Giliken the

Saints punter Saints were up 26 24 two minutes to go you have some hope and then he fires off a 29 yarder which gave the ball to the Bengals at their own 40 next play burrow to chase 60 yards Gumbles calling this was Gillen will want to get a good one

off short horribly short which is a pretty fun a fun call for a punter Superdome screwing with punters last week we had Dixon forget the punt button and just run right into defenders oh that was one of the funniest plays I've ever seen everywhere

Hallamand the future Nashville stadium yeah yeah for sure because it's a dome that's so good Beville Conway you're going Philly Dallas eh Beville Conway I'm going Philly Dallas You know I'm not not going to, I might leave it for you, Tennessee, Alabama.

I'll stay in the SEC. No, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. I'm going to go LSU in Florida in the swamp. Oh, that's beautiful. Looked great. Shout out. Beautiful. Hey, this is right there for the taking, but Richmond is screwing it up.

Richmond and Villanova played a game of football. Could have been perfect. TCU has red in their helmets. Well, but that's for a reason. Like the horn frog draws blood or something. And their goal line is red, which is badass. A little bit much of those units. I'm going Tennessee Bama just for the scene.

I mean like you're watching that scene that's the scene of the year that's the aerial shot of the year in college football it's so fucking cool man nervous SEC women I have so much FOMO watching that nervous SEC women

they're like yeah they really care a lot it's amazing I did all my makeup to come here and be nervous okay okay that's my thoughts yeah well yeah no no no

and I don't want to cry yeah God forbid yeah cry the mascara is running everywhere um okay so that's do we have anything else Game ball, game ball? Game ball, yeah.

I have a game ball. Quinn and Williams game ball. Oh, nice. It's a big coming out party for him, man. It's coming out party for the Jets. He has his big national coming out party the same day. People know now. Quentin Williams is a dog.

He's got that dog in him. I'm going to give a game ball to Bubba Wallace for dumping Kyle Larson after he got squeezed on the top side. Is that what happened? Yeah, so Kyle Larson was passing. a car on the low side and when he cleared that car he didn't give Bubba enough room on the top. Bubba couldn't make the turn. He got sandwiched into the wall. So Bubba went like 160 and dumped everybody. Give him the game ball. We got a hollow man in the game ball in NASCAR. Jalen Hertz, he's really

good. We covered it. Yeah. We covered it well. Yep. But congrats to President. Six and no. Yeah. Asshole of the week. I already gave mine out. Wink Martindale. It's the it's the. And assholes wink. Yeah. Yeah. I don't want to use, use. You use the word again, but hey, Al Michaels, can we be a little bit nicer to Kirk? We can tell you don't like Kirk on Thursday nights. Be a little bit nicer to the guy. Oh, yeah.

Cut him a little slack. Yeah, well, he's also up after midnight watching, like, objectively terrible. Really bad games. I forgot to say Troy Aikman never mentioned Pat passing his all-time touchdown. Patrick. Patrick.

God, I hate you. Take care. Welcome to the club. Troy never mentioned it. Troy never mentioned it to Patrick, which is crazy. Welcome to the club on the broadcast. And now we've got Nicole Auerbach and we talk some college football. Nicole Aaraback joins us and I just heard your dad's a Jets fan, so good for him.

Yep. Yeah. Yeah. No, listen, there's few and far things for them to be excited about. So he'll take it. And we had the Michigan Wolverines got to win you to say. I was joking that I also had a good weekend like. with Virginia on a buy.

So that was good for everybody. Congratulations on that. No problem. But let's get to the place. Like I had major FOMO last night watching. I think everybody who wasn't in Knoxville last night had a little bit of FOMO. Like I would have loved to have seen what that felt like there. I mean,

I'd love to help them carry that goalpost out of there. I mean, like incredible atmosphere. Is Tennessee the best team in the country now? So I ranked them number one in my overnight ranking, and they got some first place votes in the AP poll and all the various polls. And I said, listen, they have the best one in the country. I mean, I get that people want to put, keep Georgia there based on just throttling Oregon week one or, you know, I think Ohio State's one of the best teams in the country. They haven't really played anybody. Clemson's actually the only team that has a win over two top 25 teams, which is kind of crazy.

we're not even talking about them. But to me, Alabama is the best one in the country. And what I thought was really great about it was just, A, they won the game the way Tennessee wins games this year. Like that they did not go away from anything that they're good at. And they absorbed the punches late. I mean, how many times have we seen Alabama win that game, even though they probably shouldn't.

We just saw that against Texas a few weeks ago. So I thought it was awesome. I think I put them as number one. I'm willing to fluctuate week to week. But to me, like, that is the best win that, anybody has this year. Yeah, it was incredible. And they did like they leaned into who they were. I mean, all their scoring drives early were like two minutes. I mean, the tempo was crazy. And, you know, I jumped on live over and I was like, damn, that's a lot of points. But it just kept

rising and rising into the 90s on the wind bed app. I was like, they can't possibly do this. But they did. They kept pace the whole game. And the end of that game, I feel like you're walking away and you're saying I feel better about Bryce Young after last night. Like, like, you know, it's a loss, but I actually feel like he's better than I thought he was when I woke up yesterday. Which is crazy to say about a Heisen trophy winner, but like you can see, I was listening to some of my pals and they were like, he's one of one. And that is exactly what he is. They would have no chance in that game. No game would have been a blowout without Bryce

Young. He is such a special player. And we weren't really sure, you know, how healthy he'd be. That's a tough dude. I mean, he absorbed a lot of hits in that game, too. So it was just, you mentioned, like, the goalposts and everything that happened afterwards. Did you see that Tennessee is fundraising off of this and asking for people to help pay for the new goal post? That seems like, uh, ambitious, doesn't it? Well, I was just like, listen, you're bringing like, what, $55 million a year from TV revenue. Like, what are we doing here?

You can't find that in the couch cushion. I actually thought that was like an onion article or something when I saw it. And it turned out to be real, huh? This is the first I'm learning that it was real. Well, I think they're just, they're saying like, do you want to fundraise? Like, give us, you know, 16 for rigging the 16 year drought, blah, blah, blah. So I get all of that. You know, the thing that I was most fascinated about with the post game, because, yes, absolutely looked incredible and also really therapeutic.

And, you know, I was in Ann Arbor last year when Michigan snapped its streak against Ohio. So I know how the stadium feels in that moment, right? Like it's it's like heaving. And it looked that way in Knoxville too. So I had questions about this, about the cigars. Yeah. So first of all, obviously, like they just let everybody bring cigars and lighters and cutters and everything into the stadium.

That's really interesting. That's really interesting. I hadn't thought about that. I assume that there's just like a wink, wink, nod, nod. But also, do you think that those Tennessee fans who, Maybe they're not bringing them every single year just in case, but like these last few years, there obviously haven't been a ton of, you know, a ton of faith. But do you worry about jinxing yourself

by by packing a cigar in your pocket? I would. Yeah, I think you do. I think we've gotten to the point in society where like if you tweet anything remotely positive about a team who's winning and they lose, like people are like you, that's your fault. Like people are so obsessed with jinxes. I don't think there's anything to it. In fact, I always tell this story like before the Super Bowl when we were playing. I was in New England. We were getting ready to play the Falcons. And man,

this looked like a jinx for about three and a half quarters. But me and a couple of D-Lyman got a couple bottles of Andre at CVS. Andre. Yeah, well, we forgot, we forgot to the last minute. We should have gotten some,

I'm sure the DBs would have had some, like, or the wide receivers would have had some better champagne. But, you know, I think had we lost, that would have been a huge jinks. I think I would look back at that and been like,

I'm an idiot. I don't know. So the thing for me is all these college kids were out there buzzing because people sleep on a cigar and what it does to you, like a cigar will knock you on your ass. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I had friends were covering the game who were just like, it was a sea of smoke.

Like every post game interview, everything on the field, it was just like this giant cloud of smoke. So yeah, I mean, even if you weren't personally smoking a cigar, like the second hand. You were getting a cigar. All of it. One way or another. One way or another. I was really jealous.

And once a year in college football, I feel like I have major FOMO looking at a situation. And that would have been really cool to be there. Okay. So Michigan destroys Penn State. Did we learn anything about either of these two teams? Yeah, well, I think we learned Penn State is not in the same category as Michigan and Ohio State. And I feel like we do this every single time Penn State plays one of these teams. I know they've beaten Michigan in the James Franklin era.

But like it feels like it's been a while. I think it's been three years. Right. You know, like the COVID year and all that stuff, it was a weird season. But we just continually come out of these and talk about the gap that's there between Penn State and these other teams. And like, you heard Penn State defensive players just talking about, like, it was embarrassing. Like, they were pushed around. Like, Michigan's offensive line is awesome.

They were, they won the Joe Moore Award last year and they might be even better this year. Like Coram, legitimate Heisman trophy contender. He should be. He's one of the best running backs in the country. the best. So I feel like we learned that. And we learned that they just, you know, J.J. McCarthy used the term butt kicking, but it was an ass kicking, right? Like, it was just a very thorough. It was a clinic. And the only reason it was even as close as it was at the half or even looks respectable at the end was because of a fluke pickstick. So like it was just absolutely everything

you want to see. I think if you're a Michigan fan. So Michigan, real, Tennessee, real. Okay. bottom of your top 10, I'm going to read four unbeaten teams that are fun stories, but which one's actually legit and which one could actually end up in the playoff? I mean, they're all legit except for maybe Syracuse. No offense to Syracuse. Like I love Syracuse. Like I always tell people with Carrier Dome, that's a beast to play up there. I'm happy for Coach Bavers.

They're fun, but they're not that good, right? I mean, I won't bring Syracuse into this. All right. UCLA, Ole Miss, or TCU, which of the three? Unless you were going to say Syracuse, which of those? No, I was not. Although, again, like, Syracuse has a clear path to the playoff, beat Clemson, winning ACC, I guess.

It could happen. I think you're right that, you know, those are probably the ones. I feel like the most likely of those three to be a true playoff contender is UCLA. I feel like that path is super clear. They've got Oregon this coming week. in a massive game game days going to that one because it's huge and but i think you know ucela good enough team really good offense d t r jake bobo right zach charbonnet really love them like really fun to watch so if if they get through this game then it's really just usc at the end of the

year so you know a one lost pack 12 team one lost pack 12 champ going to be in the playoff mix i think this year and they also you know could possibly get through all of this unblemish if they do they're certainly going to be in. So I feel like that's it. It would be hard to pick, you know, Ole Miss, even though they played really well, schedule so backloaded and the SEC. But, so I'd go with the Bruins. But again, that could be proven totally wrong six days from now. So we'll see. Speaking of the, I was up late, uh, sweating a Utah bet. Um, thank you very much, Kyle Whittingham. Love that guy. Love his attitude down there, uh, on fourth and one and, and going for it. Yeah, that was great. And going for the win to like a two point conversion.

So I love that. But I didn't love, I don't know if you saw this. Did you see the clock operation at the end of that game? Yes. What the hell was going on there? So that was peak Pac-12 refs and Pac-12 officiating. I don't understand. There were like multiple things wrong.

Obviously they didn't start the clock as the play was happening. And then they added more time instead of taking time off. Like if they had lost that game, that would have been an all-time. All time. All-time. That was so, so bad. Well, so the guy picked, if you didn't watch the game, like, you know, it's very complicated situation, but Caleb is scrambling and throws a pick in the waning moments of that game. And there's pass interference. So the pick is obviously negated, but the time continues to run as the player returns the interception. And I'm sitting there and the clock, I'm watching the clock. The ball is picked off with around 14 seconds to go. And the clock freezes at 12 seconds for eight seconds, probably. And the guy goes out of bounds and Whittingham is incents because he's like, how about we have four seconds left in this game and get the fuck out of here?

Right. You know what I mean? I'm kind of screaming at the TV in principle, right? You know what I mean? It's the home field clock operator. You would think that they would be helping Utah in whatever, whatever fias going to happen. But yeah. So you didn't run the clock.

Then when they reviewed it, they added more time back. It was insane. Like Kyle was like, that's bad. You know, like, that is bad. You'll see tomorrow. That's bad. And we did see and it is bad. So I wasn't seeing things.

I wasn't hallucinating. Pack 12 officials, I apologize to people that watch that on the regular. Okay. And lastly, Clemson, we overrate them, then we underrate them. Like, where are we now? I think we're probably underrating them. Yeah, I think we are. Like I said, so they have two wins over top 25 teams, which is better than everybody else in the top 25.

They also are on a 13-game win streak. So like think back to where we were at being held last year and all the narratives around Clemson because they lost to Georgia and DJ looked really bad like they couldn't do anything. So Dabba was like a little salty in the post game after this one because he was like, oh, you know, brought up that, right? And it was like, you know, winning 13 years in a row. Like we're a good football team and you don't just like accidentally do that. And so, you know, he promoted from within. He stuck with DJ, which by the way, no more quarterback conundrum there. Like he's the guy he's played really well these last few weeks.

And, you know, they've done a good job. Florida State, like, tried to come back in that game and showed a lot of fight at the end. But, you know, Clemson's really good at, even if they have a slow start, like, pulling away from these teams that they've been playing. So I absolutely think we're underrating them. And, like, it's very possible that they're going to finish the season, undefeated ACCC champs and be back in the playoff. And, like, no one is so boring.

It's so boring. It is boring. Because I'm trying to ignore it. I'm just like, nope, nope. Like, I'm always like, you know, just, I don't want to see it. I don't want to see it. But I got to hand it to Davo and I'm not the biggest fan all the time. But, you know, Tony Elliott's here in Charlottesville.

It hasn't started great. Like, I'm sure he'll be fine. But, you know, Venables not doing, you know, the best job at Oklahoma relative to expectations, although those are high expectations. Like, you thought maybe Clemson takes a step back. The coordinators have success. This looks good for Davo. Like it's good for the stability of that program, which we don't need much more of.

So. Well, and he, so again, he's promoted from within to replace those guys. He is still avoids the transfer portal. Like not a huge NIL guy. Stuck with the quarterback when everyone was like, is DJ the guy? And he may be proven right on all of those things. So, yes, it's not a great time to be someone who's like not a huge dabbo guy because it looks like all of his stubbornness is actually maybe going to pay off. Yeah.

And like, hats off to him because, you know, I thought he wouldn't. be able to endure players being paid, but he's stuck around. I thought he was going to find another line of work when players started getting paid. But yeah, he's endured that and he's endured the leaving of the coordinators. And yeah, he's doing it the right way. So hats off to Clemson and DeVo. Okay. So that was college football week, whatever it was. Seven, eight? How far? Seven. We're at the midpoint. Yep. Thank God. It just feels like it feels like it's getting late early. All right, Nicole, you'll be back next week. And Hopefully we'll have a lot more to talk about.

Thank you so much for your time. All right. See you next week.
