writing up my America's teams And it's got to be number one The Houston Astros slash Has a major Russell Wilson move 90 minutes early flex Yeah the Russell You're doing high days I took an Uber here from my own home

Calisthenics in the Uber So there's a flex and a humble flex Yeah God day What's up with the Uber? Did your sports car crash? I flew Thank you for asking. I flew to New York this weekend and drove home with my lovely wife and an infant daughter.

And we drove right by the airport where my car was because we had to get home. You understand. You guys with children up there. Why stop? Why stop? We got to get home. Got to get home always, which is great. We love home. So I'm going to go get my car after this podcast. Matt's actually going to drive me over there. So thank you, Matt. drove right past it. Drove right past the airport. Like the airport for the record is. Kate's in the backseat with a pacifier in our daughter's mouth, like mom of the year award just for the ride yesterday. And I text, I said, hi car, buy car.

She's like, oh, well, like, we should stop. I was like, absolutely not. We're going home. What added 45 seconds to your drive home. Did you bounce some of your America's teams off the Uber driver? No, I think he wasn't. He wasn't there for the conversation. Okay, okay.

Hit us, Kyle. Astros, Houston Astros They were cheaters We know it, they cheated But you know what, now they did it the right way Dusty Baker has them doing it the right way And I think it's kind of People were kind of happy to see Dusty Baker win

And the Astros America's team. Dusty Baker, that was a genius move By Astros ownership to make the Astros Palletable. You know, like, like He's the only guy. You can't be mad at Dusty Baker

And his fucking glove. Your Don. Black latex glove And all the post I was mad, right? Because I wanted to fill the win, but like, it couldn't help but laugh. That black latex glove was in every shot. And hang on for your life when he was being in a hug.

Yeah. And he coached guys like Barry Bonds and Jeff Kent and people that were like widely thought of as cheaters and assholes. And people loved them. Common denominator. Dusty Baker had their back, right? He always had his players back. Yeah, spin zone. And I love that about the Astros, Spinzone.

Dusty Baker is the common denominator. He has so many gloves on him because he was the one with the syringes with those guys. Could have been. Such a good dude. I could see it. Putting two and two together. Cream the clear. We're not saying he did it.

Sometimes it just equals four. I'm moving on, guys. Moving on. Number two, Justin Fields's Chicago Bears. Because my God, what an epic performance yesterday. It's so awesome. I mean, we are in for so many fun games. The Chicago Bears office.

offense is going to be existent. I love Chase Claypool, to your point last week, get him to the ball early and often. And we need guys on defense, but that's what the $150 million in cap space is for. That's what the draft picks are for. That's what these guys in the ownership position have put Ryan Poles and Ian Yates Cunningham. Okay, so that's... No, but Kyle, Kyle, if you're a Bears fan out there, God, it's exciting. Have fun. Don't get too out over your skis here because a lot can go wrong, as you know, but you've got the guy in the building. And now free agents watch these games. And free agents say, fuck, I want to lead block for him because now you see Cole Komet getting the ball. Darnel Mooney. Huge catch. Yeah, sorry.

But yeah, also, yeah, like free agents are like, I want to play in Arlington Heights. Looks sweet. A lot closer to Lake Forest than downtown Chicago. Number three, America's team, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Eastern District of Virginia, because you know what? allegedly that asshole of the year of the decade, Dan Snyder has Jonathan Jones told me this yesterday. Somebody is alleged that they were selling, they were selling tickets for $45 that were supposed to be sold for $44. And you know, you spread that out over a year and thousands of tickets. Now you're looking at millions of dollars.

Hundreds of tickets. That are coming out of the pockets of players, you know, the collective bargaining agreement. That means everybody earns money. They bring it to the middle and they do that. Oh, he's stole from everybody, Kyle. He's still from the owners. You know who's coming for his ass? The U.S. Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of Virginia, baby.

We're coming for your ass, Dan Snyder. We're going to find out what you did. Hey, it's not real hard to find out what he did. Don't forget the harassment. I mean, this guy's all over the map. He's all over the map. Okay. He's all over the map.

Number four. And this guy is awesome. Shout out. It's just a reserve police officer, I believe. PJ Chigazola, the LSU event security guard dog who's standing by the goalpost at the end of this game and we'll put the picture up. If you guys are online, you'll see it as well.

But this guy, absolute swole factory, just built like a power lifter, all chest, all belly and arms. And you know what? Some guy said, you wouldn't catch me if I got up that pole. And he said, you ain't fucking getting up that pole. I'm a ragged all your ass for you. Get there. I haven't seen this guy.

I turned the TV off immediately after the. that game. Okay, so that's Pete Chigazola. And then Notre Dame, we've got to throw them in there. They're doing the Lord's work. They beat Davoswini, 35 to 14 or some shit. You know, the Lord didn't want to keep it close more than a one possession game. And anytime you beat Clemson, you're going to make my list. Davos Sweeney really ran into a buzzsaw. All that praying, you can't out pray Notre Dame. Can't do it. People have tried. They have a statue of Jesus. Touched out of Jesus. You got a bowling alley, Davo. You know what I mean? And Marcus Freeman makes that squad like a bowl.

He does. And James Laronitis makes that squad likable. Yep. Look at, look it. Oh my God. Yeah, that guy's a unit. My guy, this is PJ Chigizola from, uh, from, hold on. I can shout out his hometown because this deserves.

I don't know that it matters. Okay. Grand Isle, Louisiana. Grand Isle, Louisiana. I had it on my, yeah. He's from Grand Isle. Shout out to Grand Isle. Don't fuck with Grand Isle.

You meet somebody from Grand Isle. You got no follow up. So those are my America's teams. All right, Ma, number one, the Tennessee Titans. So G.D. impressed by that Sunday night performance. No receiver had a catch. Ever. They went up against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.

No receiver had a catch. And they found themselves in overtime. The entire team only had five catches. No A.J. Brown, to a lesser extent, no Julio Jones, no Harold Landry. Robert Woods hasn't been L.A. Robert Woods. No Trailerbanks. now no Ryan Tannahill and they just

they beat on your ass even in a loss they just beat on your ass it was highly enjoyable Jeffrey Simmons oh love that team America's team

hey TCU 9 and O beat Texas Tech by 10 they're now 9 and 0 did I say that already yep hey Sammy Baugh and Davey O'Brien went to TCU bet you didn't know that

did not want to name some other horn frog David Roach Vitae Jiu Jalabati, Jerry Hughes. Lucas Nying. Don't put out a social though because some guy's gonna be like,

you forgot about Tyler Lockett, you fucking idiots. Remember we put out of Kansas State social and people are like, they expect you to name every player that ever went to Kansas State. All we do is talk about Tyler Lockett here. I love that you guys said that.

Yeah. I'd love to come on. Michael Bishop did. Yeah. So we should name some more horned frogs. Yeah. Okay. Joe Nooboom.

Fine. Lucas Nying. Easy. Okay. LJ Collier. All right. These are all current. Jason Verrett.

They're 26 TCU Horn Frogs in the NFL right now. 26. That's pretty good. That's not to mention Ladanian Tomlinson. Andy Dalton, the Red Rocket. Others. So TCU. TCU might be playing for a 90 title here before long.

That's dope. LSU, walk off two-pointer, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Now, Chris will be, well you'll be entertaining on this front as as you weren't at the game though you had a sideline pass for the game but it seemed like there were a lot of viral loads

in that crowd I've I've also they were like honestly it didn't even look fun seriously that was a little crowded down there like you could have got trampled people were out it wasn't safe there was a woman in a walker there's a woman in a wheelchair yeah the walker was impressive you know the flight down there was too expensive guys The coolness of LSU transcends

Even Brian Kelly I don't want to talk about it Just a small anger man Can we not talk about it? Just not talk about it I forget that you had like tentative plans to go down there Yeah yeah well you know Fuck my plans next year

They're not important You like this one better Louisiana Tech All right Improved to three and six They beat middle Tennessee by some Some score They've won three of their last nine

and that logo, you know, is a boot. It's the state of Louisiana with a big old tea on it. But the reason they're one of America's teams is they got a bulldog. Oh, my, got in a Chevrolet. Riding around the end zone. And a new Camaro. In a new Camero. I mean, how dope is this?

This is the... Is he steering? Is it remote controlled? It's a, I think it's a self-driving situation. That is amazing. It's a bulldog in a little car that you... I can't stop looking at it. Toddler.

I just can't stop looking at it. I mean, you probably want to get these for your bulldog. Do you know? Yeah, no, no, no. My bulldog is like, I need one of those. Yeah. Yeah, no, no, no question. Big Tony.

That's dope. Big Tony in a Corvette. Oh, my God. The boss would like to see you. And I'll round it out with the Seattle Seahawks, a mainstay of my America's team, six and three. I was on Arizona. I believe you were on Arizona.

Yeah. Six and three heading to Munich to face the hapless bucks. Kenneth Walker currently being fitted for a, for a, for a gold jacket for a f-sake guys the most electric you guys picked the cardinals football player yeah it was a yeah the line stunk guys call me cardinals by two oh please god please who says call god guy gets a fucking studio job all of a sudden he can he's a handicapper i'm the last place guy in my well kyle we lost money yesterday you're on the sidelines okay got got fucking respect that please once you're the man in the arena come yeah yeah teddy roosevelt yeah yeah all right all right

All right, all right. Eagles, number one. Okay. They're fucking, you know, like smoke clears the Phillies. Yeah, they weren't. Phillies weren't that good anyways, right? They were really eight over 500. Like, they played above themselves. You know, I was out there Thursday.

More on that later. But they stranded a bunch of runners. And Joron Alvarez fucking went. Alvarado, Alvarez's first pitch, I feel like it was. We were sitting together watching that game. We were. So no more Phillies in the America's teams ranking. number two Notre Dame

somebody had Notre Dame Notre Dame for beating Clemson for ridding us of that I mean I have Clemson fatigue so fucking much I'm so happy We have another one that I highlighted Clemson fatigue but the Tennessee Titans and a loss joining America's teams

because Mike Vrape was just that guy I mean like shit can be all fucked up but they can they can stay competitive Red white and blue America Tulane you guys lob me Tulane's really good. You know, Tulane is adding a new...

H-O-V. Lane. Okay. I thought you were going to finish that. No, I didn't want to. Because obviously, I think he'd get it the second time. Don't you think? Yeah.

Shame on me. Yeah. They got... They got Tulsa by two... You ain't can fool me, man. You ain't go fool me. We'll not be fooled again. Okay.

Big one with UCF next week. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, of course. Everybody's got an eye on Tulane. L.DOT has an eye on Tulane because they're expanding. Okay. So Florida State, huge. Beat up on Miami.

And I don't mind when Miami gets beat up on. They're back. They're back. I can remember when we were kids. They're not back. But I can remember when we were kids. Florida State was like the gold standard. I can remember watching Florida State and be like, I love to go there someday,

but they don't have any white D. Lyman. Everybody looks so athletic. Those gold pants at night. Oh my God. Every big game on TV was Florida State. And it's nice to see them back in the damn thing because the ACC is hurting right now. When that place, when Doe Campbell's rocking.

Yeah. 34 to 3. It comes after that. 34 to 3. Don't come knocking. I can remember when Virginia was actually like really good. I remember my freshman year and I had mono nucleosis and I had to sit at home and watch this game.

Because if you get hitting the spleen, you can die. Right. You know? With me again, we have a long history of watching ball. You know, I get a lot of shit

for not being your friend, but we watch a lot of ball together. You're referencing a game in 2003. And then the most recent one was Saturday night. Hey, answer me this. Did you get Mono from making out with a girl or something? Or chugging a fuck it,

I don't know. Sharing a Mad Dog 2020 with some dirt bag. Okay. I don't know. But I lost 25 pounds. It was a harrowing experience. You guys were savages. Yeah, we were savages, Kyle.

But then, but Virginia was ranked higher than Florida State and Ernie Sims and them were so fucking mad they beat us 34 to 3. They absolutely jumped us at though. Was it his face mask that was right against his nose? I don't know. Which linebacker? I don't know.

G-note, maybe. I just remember him coming to Virginia, our sophomore year and running up and down the sidelines and talking shit to our recruits. I thought not to come to this shitty school. And then we beat him. So, yeah. That's the night that like.

He's a loser now, Ernie Sims. Respectfully. Oh, I want to add an axis of evil on the end of this thing. Alabama for not beating LSU and taking care of my FOMO Saturday night. I mean, all you had to do is beat LSU, and I would have felt a lot better about not going down to Baton Rouge. The Houston Snashes are on there, too. The Green Bay Packers, they are joining the Do Not Bet list, the DMB list.

And then lastly, should I just fucking dig into wheels up now or wait until Miller Light mentions? I don't know. Let's wait until Miller Light mentions. All right. Stay tuned for that. Yeah. That's going to be good time.

You'll be complaining about some first world problems. Stick around. Yep. And you came in this morning with like a million sheets of paper and you're like we need a power ranking. Well, you know. This is your baby. Take us home.

Mike Florio puts out a sexy looking graphic with Chris Sims every week. And I stare at it for 20 seconds. It's so stupid though. It's engrossing. Oh, it's so super. Power rankings are the dumbest fucking things in the world, dude. Yeah. I asked you this question.

I go, okay, like right now or the team in December, like the bills yesterday without Milano and Poir, the fucking bills were Josh Allen's drunk or the Kansas City Chiefs, you know, like in the first quarter or the... Yeah, I think... It changes every week. Who looks back at these things? It's just a content filler, man. But go ahead, yeah.

Okay, so the six of us in this room. them filled out our top seven. Yeah, I was last. Ended up winding up with 11 clubs. Tied for 10th in the Green Light Power Rankings. The New York Giants and the Miami Dolphins, huh? Tide for 10th. Now, for the record,

go ahead. Nine, Sincey, eight, Seattle, seven, Minnesota, six, Baltimore, five, Dallas, four, San Francisco, three, Kansas City, two Buffalo and one, Philadelphia. Is that everybody's list? Yeah, that's the compilation.

And we were right on it. Yeah. So. Oh, a little, little, a little, uh, a little, uh, credibility to the Green Life Power in the, no, not at all, not at all. I hate this fucking exercise, but I just, I realized that I, we all probably picked about the same thing. Now, you know, we had some interesting ones here. I want to see how disrespectful anybody got here.

Matt put the Vikings at number one over all. Really? Yeah. Okay. I just want to say this about the Vikings. Like, and they weren't in my top seven. which is an arbitrary number. Well, I thought we...

Touchdown. I think we'd only do five. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But then we kept getting so many submissions. Listen, here's the thing about the Vikings. Dirty little secret. They haven't beaten anybody. Yeah.

Now, I like the Vikings. They were like, they just missed the cut on my top seven. And who's your one loss to? Oh, this is Kingston. He's got the Bengals at seven. The one loss to the Eagles. Yeah. And the Eagles made them look kind of silly

on Monday night or whatever it was. So yeah, Kingston's got the bangles in that, in that motherfucker. I think that's Kyle. He has a nice all-caps writing style. Yep, you have Vikings four. I did a big piece on. Nine or seven.

Okay. Okay, who's this? Let's rate the handwriting. This handwriting was really cool. Yeah, let's see. This is assuming that the games are played at noon. We have similar handwriting. For the record, I had Seattle just missing the,

cut and like I thought about putting Tennessee in here and we'll talk about Tennessee but Tennessee's wins I'm gonna whisper this Houston Indy Washington Indy Las Vegas Raiders Hey they don't make the schedule they got to play who's in front I know and I really fuck with them they're a top 10 team because their floor is so high and but had there only had there been fewer submissions they could be the only 10 I see they're a mid major that can beat an elite eight one seed like the NCAA tournament. Read that though, read that there

for the nice young lady who peppers our green light account with seven mentions every time we talk about the dolphins. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh my God, ma'am, this is a Wendy's. See Long put the Miami Dolphins at seven the only reason why the Miami Dolphins made our top 10,

Ceylang right there. Yeah, and they are seven because the offense is so goddamn good, but if you could fix the fucking defense down there, I mean, holy shit. I know Justin, Fields is him. He's Hemethy, but that's a lot of points

there. If they could fix that, they might be a top five team. At Detroit, at Chicago, we talked about it. Tricky. They survived and then they got Browns, Texans, bye. I didn't feel so great about putting Baltimore in my top seven, but I want to give them the respect that they're due and like

project that that defense is going to get better. And another thing about Baltimore is Baltimore has, Lamar made his worst throws the first half of this year. Like he couldn't he couldn't make worse throws in some of those big situations and he won't do that

the second half of the year. I'm still trying to move Lamar from my fantasy program to yours. I don't care about fantasy football this year. Poor fantasy programs. I'm in the middle. I'm not going to win the league. I'm not going to lose the league.

You say that, but. There's no penalty this year because people couldn't fucking figure it out. Group text full of 15 adult men we can't come up with a punishment. Oh, that was a good play? The fuck up. Go spend time with your family

watching everything. NFL game. Yeah. Okay. My wife controls mine. I don't even look at it. I don't even know the law game. All right.

So that was the power rankings. How much fun was that? So stupid. It's so fucking stupid. Every time I see what I want to just, I want to throw my phone. Oh, I just want to read them.

I love, yeah, I love ranking things. No, that's fine. But like every week it changes in the NFL. Like, what's the point? Like people are like,

oh, this week the Falcons won. They're up seven spots. Chris, hear me up. Who the fuck cares, Mike Florio? Who cares? Who cares? Chris, as long as there's an arrow

up or down. Bottom seven, that would have more fun. It has to look this way. It has to be the one through seven. It has to have a red or a green arrow next to them. Up or down. Three arrows would be good. Right, like a lot of accelerates.

A lot of movement this week. A team lost. Chris. Oh, we could make them like race cars. Like Philly could be in front. Yeah. It could be a graphic, like a bar graph. sort of thing.

Like Foxfield. Yeah. Horses. Yeah, we could do horses. Hey, real quick before we get to football, America's teams, whoever's figuring out fucking climate change, it's 80 degrees out this motherfucker. I'm in a middle of November.

No, they should because their defense is good. If Kyle, if Zach Wilson, who is Kyle Wilson? Kyle Wilson, Miami. quarterback, right? That's Kyle right. One of them, Wilson's, could figure out how to fucking just not throw the ball to the other team, as he did yesterday. They're pretty good. I mean, like, their defense is very good.

They've shut the passing game. Should we just start with them? Sure. It's probably the biggest win. I think Jets fans are more on top of the world than anybody in the NFL right now. Yep. So what a start for them, too. I mean, the game started with the kicker fucking falls down.

Amazing. I hear the clown noise. It was amazing. Dun, dun, da, no, no, and then, and then, and then the next play Diggs beats Sauce Gardner on a double move. And you're like, fuck, dude. Our hero is vanquished. Stefan Diggs is a beast.

We got to call him by his real name. We're the Jets. We just lost in New England last week. It would be easy for that team to kind of pack it in. And you might have seen them, you might have seen a game. get ugly if Josh Allen wasn't playing like he's playing right now. Josh Allen, man, and I'm a huge fan of Josh Allen, obviously goes out saying he's established. He's an established guy.

You know why people don't point out bad throws he makes as much as maybe some other quarterbacks? It's because he's established. Okay? So you'll let one or two slip, but when he's throwing four picks in two games, you know, he overthrew Gabe Davis last week on third and seven. rolling right. I was like, I gawked. You know, it wasn't a game that was out of hand

to where Aaron Rogers couldn't get back in it. And he had some really careless decisions last week. And then it just continued. They're in the red zone early in this game and he throws a pick, like a bad pick. Jordan Whitehead. Both the picks were bad. So again, it's like when you're on the road, no matter who you are, and we see this with Green Bay, we're going to talk about them in a little bit.

You know, I've pointed this out at various junctures. This year, if you're the better team, or you think you're the better team, or you're not the better team, and you're on the fucking road, you have to score early. When you have your opportunities, you have to take advantage of them offensively.

And when you don't, they come back to bite you. So really tough for them. In the red zone, they don't throw that ball. They're up 7-0. Allen scores again the next possession. Maybe it's 14-0. These points matter, and they also miss the 55-yard field goal. To your point, Chris,

when you're on the road, particularly in a division game when you know the enemy so well and every guy knows every single player on defense, you know, and you've talked shit to them before, sucking the life out of a stadium as an offense is one of the best feelings in football. When you're on the road, you score early, and then it becomes your stadium on the road,

and your fans become louder than their fans on their own venue. But if you let a team like the Jets stick around at home, like the Lions with the Green Bay game, when you mention that too, shit happens. Shit can happen in the NFL. That's why it's set up for parity. And shit will happen.

And Garrett Wilson's a fucking beast, dude. I mean, the way his route running, his cuts, like, he's just very, he's a very unique athlete. And they tried to press him. They couldn't press him. This guy is, he's a star in the making. That 13 plays 75-yard drive after Buffalo went up 14 to 3. That was the Garrett-Wilson drive. That's the Garrett-Wilson drive.

And then there was a James Robinson drive. So things are paying off for the Jets. Like, first off, I don't want to gloss over his. Zach Wilson not throwing the balls that he threw last week. By the way, that Patriots win, and then their win this week, it looks kind of like, it looks like they're rounding into form a little bit. And they get the Patriots again. They get the Patriots again.

That'll be interesting to see if that was an aberration or if they just, like Bill just has this kid's number or something. But, you know, that last drive, the Jets are backed up with eight to go. And they run the ball right down Buffalo's throat. And they do it for seven minutes. and the kick of field goal. But what that sets up is 90 seconds remaining backed up. You get a hold, you get a huff sack, which, you know, like this kid is,

when he's in the game, he's making a difference. Last week, he forced an interception. I think it was. He shows up again big in this situation. And I think Josh hurt his elbow. I know he's had a UCL thing in like 2018. He had a little elbow stuff. He says it's okay.

But I don't know, man. Like, actually, I know it's okay because the next play he threw it. 70 yards. Fucking 70 yards. It hits Gabe Davis in the face. It's a beautiful throw. I mean, you want to know what arm arrogance looks like. That's it.

You know, PJ Walker threw the ball like 68 yards or something last week. Josh was like, watch this. Yeah. I think he needs to shave the mustache. I think the mustache has got bad juju because he just hasn't been the same since I've seen that fucking. Fresh face Josh. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Vaugh Miller again showing up in a big situation. That should be a game changing. Put your team in a position to win the game and then you can't finish. That's, oh my God. Here's what it was. Like maybe worst flight at Buffalo.

Maybe the biggest deal. 20 minute flight. That's a short flight. Yeah, they're good. Up and down. Awful. But up and down. That is frustrating.

Wi-Fi doesn't even fucking turn on. Yeah, it's stupid. You're trying to fucking, yeah, check your Twitter and see. More time getting wanded than in the air. Yeah, more time getting wanded than actually in the air. And you can't even check your terrible mentions after a game like that. It's probably a good thing. But the thing about Buffalo and the reason like when we did the power, power rankings,

I went Eagles, I went, I think I went, I think I went Buffalo and then Kansas City, okay? Buffalo has two very important guys. They have a couple very important guys down, but like, you know, Matt Milano is the biggest. Makes a huge difference. So they'll get him back, Poir, right? Can I touch on the Milano importance? Because I talked about this yesterday on that other pregame show on CBS Sports with Charles Davis. And I talked about the importance of Matt Milano pre-snap.

and how he's able to garner the attention of the guards and the center pre-snap, and it becomes a five-man protection. So it's five one-on-ones. You can overload, let's say, the left side of the line and put Vaughn on the right side of the line, bring Matt Milano up. He can bluff and still get into coverage

because he plays with a Luke Keekly-type sense of urgency. He's really good at that. When he's out of the lineup, there was a big question mark for me is what they're going to be able to hide pre-snap, how they're going to be able to utilize their rushers in one-on-ones. Vaughn still able to get home because he's Vaughn, but I've yet to see if Milano out is...

And the sideline to side line stuff. You know, like the Jets stretched them. You know, they were trying to get on the edges all game long, and then that last drive, they just punched them right in the fucking face. So the Jets did a great job in the run game, mixing it up. They had a good game plan. They stuck with it. And out of the half, I mean, I don't know what happens here if this doesn't happen.

Maybe the bills are in better rhythm, but the bills don't get the ball for like an hour. So like they go to halftime, the Jets come out, they have a long drive, the fucking cameras are going awall. You know, cameras just going, ye, ye, eat. People, it's a 10-minute delay. And then Josh finally gets the ball back and throws that terrible pig. I mean, he threw them another one too. So Josh is not playing well right now. He knows that.

He'd be the 15,000 to tell you. I love what he said. He said, you can't go on the road in the NFL and play against a team with a good quarterback. so he tipped his cap to Zach Wilson and play like shit at quarterback and expect to win. Yep, he's real. That's all you want to hear from your quarterback. He's real. Game like that.

All right, let's talk about the opposite end of that spectrum. On Sunday, Bill's homes for the, bills are home for the Vikings real quick. You reckon that's 3313 Buffalo, a get right game. I think Buffalo gets after him. Yeah. And I'd love to see, what's that line? The weather starts to cool down next week. I think that the weather will might be cooling down by Sunday.

Three and a half. Four and a half. It's locked right now. Locked right now. Who do we not know about? I bet that would be Buffalo by... Four and a half. No, guys.

I think that's a touchdown. Unless Vegas is playing games and making us afraid to bet Buffalo. I think it's a touchdown. Locked, you say? Who do we not... Who is we not know about? Somebody get hurt?

Yeah, this says seven and a half. Seven and a half. Elijah Vera Tucker out for the Jets and they were still able to protect well, I got to give a shout out. I'll Google it and I'll give a shout out to the right tackle in a second. But he held up in protection.

Got it. Which was the big question mark coming into the game. With you guys, it's not even about having your name heard. You guys just want to get the job. Right tackle. Right tackle. Great job. Good job.

There was a Mike Remmers and ate Herbig. Oh, Remmer's our guy. Herbig? Former Eagle? They were both on the right side yesterday, apparently. Some combination of those guys did a nice job. Remmer's got an interesting set. Herbich has a great set.

Herbick was the guy who was giving Garrett Wilson shit after Garrett did a couple pumps and then rolled a ball like a bowling ball on the field. He slipped, the ball slipped out of his hands. That's the only wrong he could do. Stop fucking up receivers, perfect days. Amari Cooper throwing an atrocious pick. Garrett Wilson fumbling the ball.

Looks like he had grease all over that motherfucker. Okay, we talk about quarterbacks who after the game stand at the podium and stand tall. Let's move on to another quarterback. stands tall every time after a loss and Aaron Rogers and the Green Bay Packers. Green Bay Packers, they're on the DNB list now. They blew up, they blew up my Sunday.

My Sunday wasn't awful, but it wasn't great because of the fucking Packers. I mean, multiple teasers, a bunch of people's parlayers got just set on fire because of these guys. And if you had the over, as a gambler, sidebar here, I know some of you guys complained that we talk about gambling, look around. There's a fucking giant, you know,

fan duel sign on every, on every billboard. The win dominates the signage on this pod. Gambling is part of the fabric of America. The win, actually, I want to add the win. America's teams. The win to America's teams because I'm going there this weekend.

Oh. And I'll be at the buffet. The win buffet. Do you want to go, by the way? Yeah. Yeah. No. Okay.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The win buffet staff,

America's teams. This game was supposed to go over. Detroit gets inside the 20 in two and a half minutes. Okay, because I was watching the other games initially. And I was like, this is going to be one of those games. The total is just going to climb early. DeJay Swift. It's going to be, yeah, they're getting Swift back.

They're healthy. It's just going to be a shootout. Back to Ari out in the flat. And I'm like, look at it. Yeah, back to the park. Stop, save it. Go on. Yeah.

Detroit, inside the 20 and two and a half minutes. Green Bay inside the five under five after a 13 play drive. So that's when he threw that that, that, that, that, that, in traffic to Joseph, and then Smith and Gary drop a sure pick backed up. Like this game should be 14-7, 21-0, 14-0-something. I mean, then Green Bay's got the ball in the 45 immediately, Lazard to the inch line, and the calls, not just, and that's why you tackle guys at the goal line.

So return to the 45, Lazard to the inch line, and the calls here were terrible. Okay, the first pick to Joseph, it's just too nonchalant. It's like he just kind of like and he throws a lot of balls off his back foot and stuff and he's made a living off making spectacular throws off his back foot. But you know in the low red like this ball is

it's eye level. There's a whole crowd of fucking people. Just, just, I mean it's bad placement. And it's too hard and then they get down there again and the calls were terrible. You go Dylan, you throw a fucking fade to Sammy Wachin. Sammy Watkins was shocked that that was called. Like, fade in general, unless you have a dynamic guy, don't throw the fade.

And then third down, 71 whiffs. And then the fourth down, you'd get fancy and you'd throw the ball to Bakhtiari, a throwback to Bakhtiari. My big complaint is the first in goal. I know you were talking about the throw, but it doesn't have to be a throw. You got to give that thing. It's first in goal. You have a guy like A.J. Dillon in the building. You drafted him from Boston College because of his power to run the football.

I think they handed it off to Dillon. No, you need to hand it to them two times, three times. Or get Aaron Jones the ball. Because I want to go back to the first drive. And when you're watching the first drive of this Packers game, this is the Packers offense that we grew up watching, hating, loving, appreciating. They threw it multiple ways.

They ran it multiple ways with multiple schemes, ball carriers. Aaron Jones' involvement earlier had me thinking, oh my God, this is the key to it. Get Aaron Jones the ball. Let him stretch the defense. Dobbs was big early. And then... Both hurt by the end of the game.

And then the interception was just like, you get the ball all the way down there, you look like an absolute samurai going down the field as an offense, and then you turn the ball over, hand it off, don't get fancy, don't get cute. And then the David Boktiari won. Boktiari was open.

It was drawn up the right way. It was done the right way. That's just a bad throw. That's just careless. That's because he hasn't practiced that a million times like he has the deep overs and the slants. More than anything, I don't know. I'm starting to have a problem

with the way that, listen, you can't tell me you can't figure it out. You can't tell me you can't score more than they're scoring right now. Like I know there's no separation. To be fair to Aaron Rogers, like when you have to throw tight window balls all day long, eventually it gets in your head. When people drop footballs, when young guys are fucking up, eventually it gets in your head. And like, there is some truth to, hey, guys, pick it up around me. But, you know, you can't let those you can't let all that affect you when it's a money down in the red zone or you know the the kirby joseph pick he's mad at bob tunion he's like come on bob and i wonder if bob was supposed to break that off differently but chances are like you know like you can't blame this on anybody else and he didn't

blame it on anybody else although he did say and this was the one like rogersism that he slipped into the post game he was like you know i don't i don't i don't i don't want to lead the team in rushing you know like kind of like but I guess all you know that sort of thing the red zone stuff was bad the Kirby Joseph underthrow the one that Kirby Joseph

came up with one hand he under threw that ball I mean that's a touchdown yeah it's a touchdown so like this is on him now Rogers there was good Rogers too Rogers sometimes looks like a wizard right now he looks like Rogers

so my thing is he's not wash he's still Aaron Rogers at all he's still fucking that the balls to you know the third and 17 he can still run he climbed the pocket he hit tunion some of those balls he put on all lizarre were beautiful in stride back shoulder stuff so like this guy can still drop fucking dimes it's just can he keep the focus long enough the margins so much focus yeah the margins are so thin it takes so much focus to be aaron rogers right now and if he is truly one of the greatest of all

time. I am evaluating him on like when he finally gets into the red zone and has an opportunity to make, like you got to make these throws. That David Bakhtiari throwback, I love the call. I love the way they drew it up and I love the guy they have going to catch the ball because who's better friends of David Bakhtiari and Aaron Rogers and who needs a bigger play and a more creative play than the Packers. Evidently no one call. If they throw it to David Bakhtiar and he scores a touchdown, we could be looking at a season turning play. We could be looking at a new energy in there. Like we talked about, after the first drive and seeing what they can do offensively.

Yeah, and I think that the ending is the thing that frustrates me the most. I'm starting to have a problem with the way that these games are called for Green Bay. Like, what are you doing? Like, I don't know. You get in there, you go fourth and two to Toray, which is a beautiful ball, right?

And Toray finds a way to almost fuck it up. So Rogers is like, God damn it. And maybe that's why they took four shots at the end zone from the 17 with two timeouts left. Like maybe you're just like the longer we're on the field, the more chance we have to fuck this up. But run your offense, man. You know, like, it just felt like, damn,

we're just going to take four shots at the end zone or three shots of the end zone or whatever it is. Like, you're down there. You score a touchdown. Like, you have plenty of time. Play a little small ball. Play some small ball because that's kind of what you got a major in right now. Don't play for buntz.

Play for singles. Anyways, I've just frustrated with the Packers. And I don't even care about the Packers. The Brissette-led Browns have scored 50 more points in the Packers and one last game. It's crazy. It also goes to show that there's 10 other players on the field. Exactly.

Exactly. And that's what we're learning more than anything this year. And Chicago's got some good ones. That's what we're learning more than anything this year. Yeah. I mean, like, there's a lot of quarterbacks that, you know, they don't have help around them, and it doesn't look the same. And let's do a little exercise.

It's going to make that point drive it home a little more. So quarterback one has 14 passing touchdown, seven interceptions, an 89 rating in 2009. yards. Quarterback B, 14 passing touchdown, seven interceptions, 91.8 passer rating, and 2041 yards. Nearly identical. Can you name both those quarterbacks? Fuck no. It's like Justin Herbert and somebody else. It's Aaron Rogers and Jared Goff. Yeah. Huh. So at the beginning of this season, you'd be very surprised to see Aaron Rogers and Jared Goff in the same. But here's the deal. But here's the deal. Here's the deal. Here's the deal. Jared Goff just yesterday, they

trade away Hawkinson, two young tight ends get catches for touchdowns. You know, their offensive lines better for sure. You have Amman Ross St. Brown. You've got good backs. But like, is the delta between Detroit's talent level and Green Bay's talent level that much different? So eventually, and I'm not going to be gaslit by statistics or what I see this year, like Aaron Rogers is one of the best quarterbacks ever play the game. Yeah. He's still that guy. Yeah. He's still that guy. People have nightmares. He's not playing his best ball because the margins are so fucking thin. And I am counting that against him.

But you can't tell me that the Detroit Lions are that much more talented or better offensively. So that tells me there's a problem with the way you're calling these games. I mean, you've got to figure it out. Figure it out, man. Dobbs has carted off. You know, Watson got hurt in this game, right? Watson got hurt.

Rishon Gary's hurt. I hate that. He's having such a great year. That's a huge impact. The team's been done, but it's done, it seems done for sure. And I was, I was wrong. I thought they'd figure this out. Rishon Gary isn't just a guy that's on the defense. He's a guy that adds teeth to the defense because of his explosive nature. I'm serious. When you're playing against a guy like that, there's no missteps. Yeah. He's going to make you pay for missteps. When they don't have a guy like that, it adds to the theme here. Yep. He was the guy that, like, to me,

picked up some of uh zadari smith slack boy zadari smith he's a dog what okay all right so what green bay's done cowboys titans eagles coming up for green bay who maca parsons just what a shit job micha parson's gonna have uh Aaron rogers looking like that meme again where he's on his helmet sign yeah so where do we want to go next guys about Chicago, Miami. How about it? What a fucking game. And you knew going to it was going to be,

remember I balked at the over? I was like, man, I want to bet the over, but it climbed to 47. It smashed that. It would have been so easy, dude. This was so fun. This was so fun. First off, the Dolphins offense is,

it's automatic. Look at some of the separation. These guys are incredible. And you can't keep, like, you have to go for it. You have to chase. touchdowns. You have to, you can't lay up, you can't punt, like they put pressure on teams. You know, but Justin Fields to me is a story. And I'll, hey, Miami fans, I'll get to two in a

second. He played a really nice game until the end. But Justin Fields is a story for me. Justin Fields is, he's growing up before our very eyes the last three, four weeks. And I want to give a lot of credit to Luke Getsey, dude. And when you look at Chase Claypool, one of the things I saw early in this game is, you know, they targeted him a bunch early. And then there was a long drought between his, his, you know, fourth target and the fifth, because it came in the end of the third quarter and then, you know, the, the, the, the, the miss PI at the end of the game as well. That was target number six. He got mugged. But, um, they were getting smokes out to him early in the game, like box count type stuff. He's going to do some of what Devante Adams and don't laugh, but like,

it's the run game. It's, it's, uh, you know, you already have David Montgomery. They can throw Last week, they ran like 17 toss plays. I think they lead the league in toss plays, you know, just one Sunday against Dallas. They also run a lot of design QB runs, which is awesome. It seems like they've embraced the fact that, yeah, you've got a guy who can take a 61 yards to the house.

Why are we not just leaning on this cat? And people that are worried about him getting hit, Kyle, how many times you see him take a hard hit yesterday? Not many. He's a baseball guy. He's going away from contact in the other. open field. He knows how to slide. Yep. You know what I'm saying? There's a difference between a guy who's trying to figure out

how to get down and a guy who has a plan. I don't know because I think he just wants to get more yards. But he's growing up before our eyes and I'd like to look back at like Josh Allen and I'm not comparing the two but you know when was it that Josh was there a moment in time where Josh just started playing great because this guy's got tools and when you judge a quarterback the reason he gets me so excited is because his ceiling's so high. you just look at this guy and you're like, who else can tuck the ball and run 20 miles per hour?

If he was in a school zone, I would tell him to slow the fuck down. If it was Halloween, I would run his car down and tell him to slow the fuck down. Dude, he was flying, man. Who else can do that? And he hit the pump.

So he gets to the top of the pocket. So I'm talking about this. We have it keyed up here, Chris. So we've got bears in enemy terror or in their own 30s. Justin Field steps up in the pocket, pump fakes the linebacker. He's weaving in and out of traffic like a slalom race. Not often do you see a quarterback actually break away.

Chris, look, pump, yee. It looks like Madden. When you're playing Madden, you come up, you tap circle so you don't throw it there, but you pump it. Justin Fields. I mean, he's outrunning everybody. He's scary. It's scary because it strides along and like he'll pick up that when he gets the line of scrimmage,

you know, when we talked about, I don't remember who it was the other day. It was fucking the running back from the jet. that got hurt. We all know them. Breast Hall. Breece Hall. He's got like changes of gears. There was a play in that last game where he changed speeds like four times. Justin Fields got a few different speeds and he when he kicks it into high gear those strides are too long man. And who's out in front blocking for him is his buddy who's been there since the shit started. Darno Mooney. Good for him. Who had a great catch on a beautiful ball back shoulder that he had to

rotate in the back left of the end zone. Darno Mooney, shout out to you. Everybody's been saying you're not a you know, the bears don't have receivers. You're not a premier guy. Just keep your head down. Keep being Justin Fields guy. And this tandem is going to be so much fun to watch for years to come in Chicago. No, I mean, more like darnel sunny because the future looks bright. And Cole Comet, too. Hey, how about our guy Cole Comet? Chris? I hope. Yeah, Commet was balling. Beautiful. All types of crazy jet sweep type shit. They led block with him with Design QB run a few weeks ago, and we talked about it in the show. And now they're starting to implement the pass off of some of what they're doing. you said, shout out to Luke Getsy. I called you out earlier. A lot of people did, and you've been

awesome. And the offense is so much fun. The Bears haven't had a big scoring offense. No one calls out Luke Getsy, bro. We stand for Luke Getsy. The offense has not been this explosive in a very long time, and it's fun to walk. You get a little fun while looking at this. Oh, my God, it looks fun, man. All right, here. You're trying to have the bit to play football? No, not at all. Hey, Kyle, Shaw McVeigh here. Not at all. I'll hold a pad. I'll hold a pad. Come help the old line. kicking the tires on you, Kyle. All right, so anyways, yeah, like Tua, what he does a really good job of,

and I want to pinpoint a throw, early in the game in the second quarter, I think it was maybe it was a second touchdown drive. There was a play where Tyreece got a turn back to catch the ball, but he's throwing him open in his own. Like, that's what Tua does really well. So you understand me perfectly. Like, that is his fucking honeyhole.

The intermediate stuff, beautiful. You know, there's a sorry lady in our mentions under a green light account, but there's, you know, the ball, Tyreek before the half, he doesn't have to slow down. They go, they score. Okay, like little things, they miss a field goals. There's a few points here. There'll be the first to tell you. And then obviously, he knows he's got to hit those throws. Two, Tua knows he's got to hit that throw. The, the, the, the, the, the, the, um, the smith miss was just, like, that's, he doesn't do that often. You know, like, that's, that's, and I agree with Dolphins fans a little bit. in one regard. It's like he, the offense is firing at all cylinders. I'm not going to pile on after the third and 11 where he, he under threw Jalen Waddle or the Smythe miss. He played a really, really good game.

And if it's not for him distributing the ball to these playmakers, they don't have 35 points. The Bears win. But if you're Justin Fields, you got to feel good about the Bears' offense outscored the Miami's offense. Isn't that something? Miami had a punt block.

With Mooney and Commet. and a newly acquired Chase Claypool. Get the ball in a multitude of ways. Hey. So good signs for. Here's ESPN featuring Claypool right before the game. Yeah. Oh, that's a tough lot.

That's bad. Chase Claypool. It's a wind. But that was another thing. That was another thing. I didn't bet the over because of, because there was a 17 mile per hour win. Maybe there was a 17 mile per hour win

when Tua tried to throw that ball to Jalen Waddle. It did hang up there in the air a while. The, the analyst, whoever's brought. broadcast in that game. The analyst said they asked him during the week, hey, Tua, have you ever overthrown Tyreek in practice? Yeah. And no and nothing. I'm like, damn, how should you answer that? Yeah. And Tua said to the guy, uh, once maybe I think, which I thought, that's a good way to play that. Uh-huh. Like, yes, I'm capable of doing it. I can do it. But no, the receiver's really

fast and really good. And he gets there. Maybe a little early for a victory lap at the, at the podium, though, on the deep balls. While on that topic of the podium, a little too early for victory laps last week, if you're so good at deep balls. Okay, I don't want to go down this road. Because the chick's going to pepper our mentions. But if you're so good at deep balls,

don't say, how about that deep ball? Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you got it. Yeah, yeah. It's like me being like, how about Thursday night time machine? Show, don't tell. Walter Payton said, if you're good, no, no, no, Kyle. To be fair, though.

If you're great, people will tell you. To be fair, though, I am happy to us confident right now. I love watching it to us. No, well, Kyle, I'm just talking about his confidence. I mean, and he should be confident. They got a bunch of fucking playmakers, and McDaniel is a fucking menace, dude. He's a menace.

So the defense has to play better, and on that note, Jeff Wilson, good addition. So another good addition to this offense. And then Ingram stepping up big on first and 10 at the 44 with four minutes to go. Chicago's been moving the ball here. They're down three. I think at this point they're going to win the game.

Ingram runs right through the left tackle and this is a guy that you bring in a new guy right to do what you do right like rush the pass or Bradley Chubb and it's not it's not said explicitly but it's like we don't have enough we need to invest in this and Ingram who's made a lot of clutch plays for them

and seems to be that vet who makes timely plays makes another one and sacks Justin Fields and puts him behind the sticks I can't say enough about this guy I mean, the yields on him late in his career. He's a glue guy, too. When the Bradley Chub acquisition was made, I knew it was going to work out well,

and I know he's going to do great in that room because Melvin will make it so. He will make it so. But to a really nice game until the end of that ball game, and he'll make those shows next time. I believe he will. It's the other stuff that concerns me, not that stuff. Justin Fields runs out of bounds, first down,

and he's on the Dolphins bench, and Mike McDaniels goes, hey, stop it. Cut it out. Did he really? Yeah, yeah. He's like, stop it. That's funny. Like, and Justin, you can see Justin last.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Everybody out there talking about Jeff Wilson, knowing the Niners system and conveniently ignoring that Mostert was there for six freaking years? Nobody talks about Mostert being in San Francisco for sick. I thought they talked about him a lot. Okay. I hadn't heard it yet.

I heard a lot of Jeff Wilson knows the McDaniel. Well, they did that with Mostert probably early in the season. I reckon. It's a quick turnaround for Jeff Wilson. Yeah, okay. He knows all the terminology. Rams bucks, and then we'll get to the big Sunday night game that Kyle's probably chomping at the bit, talk about

because Mahomi was just... I like talking about it. You can't... Fuck it. We'll do it live. Let's do it now. Lakers fan. Let's do it now, Kyle. The, the...

Patrick Mahomes, I mean, they scored, what, 20 points? It was 19 to 20. 2017, like every other game. You're like... 20, 20 points, and you're like... Hold on. It was 19 to... It was 19 to... Well, I keep saying 19, Kyle.

No, no, it wasn't 19. They were down eight points. They tied the game. They went to overtime. Yeah, they were down 17. 9. They tied it up. They won... I know, Kyle, because I had Kansas City in a teaser, minus three. I had Kansas City Live line minus three and a half. And fucking Mahomes, the only thing he did bad yesterday for me was Miss Meekyll Hardman on 30. Now, to be fair, they faced the fourth and ten in overtime. So, you know, but it's just score. Can we score?

Okay. Meekoe became like your hole because you were in a hole. Your hole, Hardman. Pause. I'll keep working on that, yeah. Chris, I will say this. The Titans last year beat the Chiefs on the road and they got out, the Chiefs got out physicaled up front.

Yeah. And I remember being in that room and they didn't want to feel that way again. And they got an opportunity to play against the team last night. and at times in the game I got out physical I started being like guys come on here we get an opportunity

to double team Jeffrey Simmons we can't be leaving for the linebacker early take care of the down guys the Titans they were generating a lot of rush with their front four it wasn't like

they needed to bring anything crazy Kevin Byard was in the earhole of Travis Kelsey most of the night that's also how the Jets kept it close they don't have to bring pressure when you can rush four on these really great quarterbacks that's the way to be the end of the game

great players do great things Patrick took the game and do his own hands scrambling he never looks like he's running in a straight line he never looks like you know that the tic-tah or the Instagram trend where they're like uh don't ever let them know your next move and they're just doing random shit the whole time I'm not on TikTok well there's a trend and that's kind of how Patrick Mahomes runs when he runs he's looking around his hips are going his hips are going in different directions got a little Kyler murray in the open field to him Like a slowed down giant, Tyler Murray.

Like a teetering little. Like a state puff marshmallow man version of Kyle Murray. He is quick. He's quicker than he is fast. And he took over the game when it mattered most for the Chiefs. And those are backbreaking plays

for the Titans. Here's a deal. He just got great vision. You know, some people see the field, man. You know, not only is he got a fucking RPG on his shoulder. Noah Gray, massive catch

down the stretch. Yep. When Travis was on the sideline for a breathing. Noah Gray comes in, makes a huge catch over the top, bobbled and caught it. Hey, here's a number from 27 to 3 last year. AJ Brown had 8 for 133 for the Titans.

No receivers catch. And that was missing last night, as was Ryan Tannahill. But are we at all concerned that it's a three point overtime win when Malik Willis is fine concerning? It's very, very concerning for anybody who has to play the Titans because the Chiefs just played him and they beat him. Right, exactly. And that's the whole thing is like you moving for you're not going to play Derek Henry again.

It's a very well, you're going to have to play Mike Vrable again. I just want to say this. Mike Vrable is a fucking menace. He is, I mean, like I would love to have a coffee table book of all his most menacing moments as a head coach. You know, whether it's fucking with Bill Belichick on the clock,

whether it's, you know, beaten up on Buffalo during the pandemic on like a short week. It was like, you know, or whether it's, whether it's that game last night, just muddying it up. He's the king of muddying it up. They get down nine nothing on the road.

It should be up 10, nothing. Thank you very much. Bucker, if you make your kicks. My family doesn't have to, my kids don't have to get fucking scholarships. Bucker, that might be a problem. Yeah, it's a problem. Might be a problem.

It's a problem. It's a problem enough that they didn't want to kick the ball at the end of the game. Well, yeah, well, they had the ball. So, never mind. But Bucker was a, Bucker was a problem. Okay?

So, you know, they get down 9, 10, nothing, that's not on the script for the Titans. How do you think that the Titans

are going to be up in this ball game? It's amazing. You know, like as soon as they hit that tight end screen and a guy I never heard of ran for,

oh, how about last year? Everybody's hurt. And Dante Foreman runs for like 300 yards on the Patriots, bro. Like, Vrabel just, he just,

he's hard, this team's hard to kill, man. Oconquo. That guy was tackled three times just kept running. It just kept running, bro. I was screaming at the TV. No. I went no. They came to play. No. I was watching the game and they were talking about Mike Brable's resume as a player. You know, they were like, you know, he's won a Super Bowl. He's caught a

touchdown in a Super Bowl. He's got sacks in the playoffs. He's, you know, a Pro Bowl or whatever. You know, they were going through his resume and it was just fucking crazy to me. I've never had a coach who had that kind of anywhere near that kind of a resume. I can only imagine what playing on that team is like and you can see it. It's like visually pleasing to watch a team that's coached by an absolute alpha. That's shot of John Fox. What about Trussman? No, well, Mike Vrable just stands out in a crowd to me.

Is this shot at Trestman? Trustman never. Sure, Mark Trisman, Mike Rable, you know. Hey, look, this is my notes on Kansas City, Tennessee. KC. Tennessee, Vroble. Is it Vroble? Patrick Mahomes. No, you motherfucker.

That's an A. Oh, that's a funky apple font. Let me look at that again. It's Braybill. It's in the day. It's in the day. So, yeah,

it would have been funnier. But here's another thing. These teams are exhausted. Okay. Kansas City ran 91 plays offensively. This front is exhausted. They were rushing all night. That's a 5 a.m.

You know, back to the facility. It's a 6 a.m. back to the facility after 91 plays on defense. And I would give them worse flight if they weren't so, they shouldn't be so damn proud of themselves. you know if there's ever a loss that you should say like hey guys we found out about ourselves in a good way

like this is the one and our cousin david long balled out too david long hey daylight savings made this the effectively the latest feeling game of all time probably yep these guys find themselves in overtime at effectively 1 30 in the morning it's crazy two days ago 1 30 am like that's usually people are asleep yes well yeah so it's crazy man and mahons is a wizard 43 completions 68 attempts, my God, I'm so glad I'm not on the Chiefs right now because pass blocking 68 times just gives me nightmares. It gives me the past Russian 58 times. The ball was out quick. There was a stat up last night about balls that are coming out and under two and a half seconds and they were showing the cutups.

And it's true. It's just like you catch the ball, you throw the ball. Somebody's open. Somebody's going to catch. I kind of wonder this about their time to throw because we'll get to the bucks in a second. And they did a good job of getting the ball out. Like Tom, he had no choice. but if the averages come out to like a low snap to release

he's holding on to the ball on some of these these these shots just goes to show how quick the other balls are coming out right exactly exactly he does have those times where he's a turwet pirouette pirouette sometimes he runs right into a hood he took some sacks he runs right into a hug yeah yeah yeah he took some sacks so big win for kansas city i don't i don't look listen i don't feel like i learned anything bad about Kansas City. We know their offense has been hot and cold. Well, they can't run the ball. They've been hot and cold because they can't run the ball.

And they're going to have to get creative to win games. And it makes me wonder, like, somebody dead or alive, Ronald Jones. Alive. Dead or alive, James Earl Jones. Tavon Austin. Seriously. No, that's a good one. I'm going to say, I'm going to

say, haven't heard from him in a while that James Earl Jones. I'm going to say alive. Dead. what are you saying Chris I know he's alive because it came up this weekend he was on the pod last week he's alive yeah yeah you missed that

okay so Tom Brady alive or dead he's alive he's alive he's very much alive that's fucking awesome Tom yeah dude you know what good for him you know it's funny we're watching two quarterbacks die of slow death right now right and I'm not saying they're done this year they are they're on the back nine the bucks and by the way the bucks season under wind total is about to cash like next week Bo Allen's FaceTime.

I mean, I got to work right now, Bo. And I think Tom showed a lot of grace, man. I just want to say this. Reverse the roles. Carly Lloyd. She's 38 or whatever. She's on the Olympic soccer team or she's on the U.S. women's team.

And her husband says, stop playing soccer or I'm divorcing you. How does that go in the court of public opinion for the husband? Not too good Yeah So I feel for Tom I really do I know there's more to

I don't want to get into his personal life But like That's what it should be his personal life Tom's doing what he loves And like we have kind of vilified Tom For not giving it up Like Play until you can't do what you did

In the last couple of minutes of that game Because what he did in the last couple minutes That game was pretty cool I mean the first drive down to the red zone Scotty Miller drops the ball that should put them up. They have a 5% chance of winning that football game. I think McVeigh running the ball in 3rd and 5 backed up was the worst call of the game.

The worst call of the game. Besides Todd Bowles not challenging that punt that clearly didn't go in the end zone, that almost hurt him. But, you know, I just want to go to this call. Darrell Henderson up the middle for one yard. Darrell Henderson up the middle for one yard. And that defense, that Bucks defense was playing their asses off.

the rushers, Vita Vaya, Shoyinka, how am I saying his name? Just go with Tryon. Yeah, Joe Tryon. It must be tough because you're copping out of a name. I'm going to try, yeah, try on. Guys, did you know that 100,000 passing yards is nearly 57 miles? I read that out of here. Also, did you know that Tom Brady now has 55 game-winning drives,

passes Payton Manning all time? I didn't. And he tied Peyton Manning with 43 fourth-quarter comebacks yesterday. So kind of an interesting Peyton Manning, Tom Brady. Did you know that when you have no timeouts in a 10 to 6 football game, or whatever the fuck it was, it was 13-9? Numbers, man, they fucked me up. No timeouts on 3rd and 5.

Bucks have no timeouts. So there's, what, 90 seconds ago in this game, less? If you get a first down, this game's over. Minute 39. Not to mention if they score a touchdown up 10-6, this game's probably over. First down, get down. So, you know, the Rams have a bunch of chances to win this game. The Rams are not a relevant team the rest of the way.

The Bucks really aren't a relevant team, if not for the fact that their division is so dog shit. So they could get some people back, I guess, but I don't see it. I don't see it. But what Tom Brady did, that drive was vintage Brady. You know, he's got under a minute, down the seam, big chunk, and then picks them apart on the sideline. And you get the Mike Evans P.I. Why were they playing so far off? And giving them the sideline.

Why were they playing so far off? Anybody's guess. That's the only defense I can have success against in Madden. When you're playing off and soft is what they call it in defensive rooms. Often soft. Often soft. And you give up the sidelines. And that's what they took advantage.

Hey, soft is cotton. Kate Otten. Yeah. So, yeah, okay. Touchdown. More like,

you're still reeling from my really good Moralike earlier. You want to get one on the board. Yeah, what did you say? I forget. Yeah, Moody. Yeah.

Oh. Oh, darn El Sonny. Darnel Sonny. Okay. I hope he sticks around for when the bears are really, like, legitimate. And the bears might be legitimately decent right now. They have $150 million in cap space. They have the most cap space in the NFL.

It's going to be fun as fun. It's going to be so much fun to be a Bears fan for the next 10 years. I'm going to go to Chicago and people are going to be like, they're going to be like, hey, Kyle, because, you know, they get us mixed up all the time, inexplicably. And then I'm going to be like, yeah, it's me. Because I want to be a part of the whole thing, dude. I'm going to act like I played for the Bears.

Okay. So one of 30 on third and 10 or longer at one point, I heard the announcer saying this ball game for the buck. So it's just bad. It's just bad. And Acres finally got some burn. Acres was in the game for a couple three-yard handoffs. What a difference a year makes for these teams?

Right, think about the January playoff game. It was kind of ugly, but these teams were good, man. It happens when you go to the crossroads to sell your soul to the devil. Things like this happen in the football world. Fuck it. That's the lay-up line, crossroads, bone thugs and harmony. Nice. I was thinking more,

we are at a crossroads right now in the show. Clapton. We are, we're on to our one word games, our best of the rest. Okay, so, Mm-hmm.

Sinty versus Carolina. My one word is, there we go. Ah. Sensea, Carolina. Mine was careful. Careful. O and three against the AFC North for Sensing.

Oh, yeah, yeah. It looked great. Yeah. And you see him last week without Chase, and it didn't look so great. And this time they carve up, slice and dice the Panthers. Joe Mix. Wasn't as close as 4221, but careful. My word is ambivalence.

Oh, come on. Because I didn't have one. I guess you didn't bet this game. Yeah. No, no. Well, I did. I stared at the fucking line for a while because I was like, I looked like Jeff Bridges.

Dot Jiff, Big LaBalette. like, you know, since he laying a touchdown, you know, as bad as they played last week and the way Carolina's been, but this is why, dude, they just, they torched them. And, yeah, the, the, the, the, the, the Bengals, they haven't really beaten good teams. And they haven't torched good secondaries and they haven't. So, but they haven't run the ball until yesterday, though. And you know what, you know what you're going to notice? You're going to notice I'm not going to have a bunch of psychotic Bengals fans in my mentions because they're realistic. Oh, high ends, football. people. They get it.

They know ball. T.J. nine targets, nine catches, 70 yards, I believe it was. They haven't had a tight end go over 42 yards this year. All right, one. O&E. Yeah. As in one score. Vikes have beaten the lions by four,

the Saints by three, the Bears by seven, the Dolphins by eight, the Cardinals by eight. It's the NFL making their winners. Well, that's interesting, though. Maybe the word should be seven is in wins. seven wins, but we just saw it

there's seven and a half point dogs next week at Buffalo, despite being seven and one. It's just a lot of average football teams this year in this league. Vikings have a new layer, man.

I got one. Scram. That's what's scram. I'm saying that to the referee. Yeah. Okay. Fuck that guy. Do you know how?

Yeah, he was on the Vikings. And that ref nearly cost you the game. That's how. how badly. It did cost me because they won't only one by three. That's what a poor, yeah, that's what a poor decision that throw was from Heineke. There were so many Vikings that the ref could not find a place where there was not a Viking.

Like the ref was like, oh my guy's triple coverage. Like he turned around and just levels the guy who's about to pick the ball off. So if I'm the, if I'm a Vikings fan, I'm really pissed. I'm pissed about not being in the power rankings in the top seven here. But we do, we do look at the same. schedule. And you're a good football team. Vikings are a good football team. No questions asked. I think they're

they're tough. And this guy, the new head coach has done a really good job. O'Connell's done a really good job. Probably your favorite O'Connell. I got a lot of O'Connell's I like. Wait, no, it's Kevin O'Connor. No, it's Kevin O'Connell. You don't like that guy.

Brian O'Connor? Brian O'Connell. Yeah. Brian O'Connell. College basketball official. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Blind as a bat. with an axe to grind. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We were at the fucking Elite 8. Yeah. And Macon's just, we're sitting next to each other.

16, yeah. Whatever the fuck it was. Yeah, well, I'm glad you remember. Congratulations. Well, it was your birthday. So we were like, we were like, four or five tequila's in. Yeah, that's in March.

For the game. Yeah, and he's in the, he's in MSG screaming at, uh, Brian O'Connell. Brian O'Connell. Tevin was fouled. Like, it's quiet. Brian O'Connell. I'm sitting next to the psycho.

I picked Jacksonville. I'm glad they won. Glad. That's a good one. Mine's fired, as then you're fired, Josh McDaniels. Jesus Christ, man. You're up 17-0-0.

I was on Vegas. And if you can't win that game, you're meant to be an offensive coordinator in this league. It'll be the year 20062. Josh will be going back to New England to be Bill's offensive coordinator. And we'll just continue this cycle. You're 13 and 23 as a head.

coach and it's because you can't hold on to leads like 17 to nothing against a jacksville team that's reeling you finally had car and devante adams rolling josh mcdaniels is giving me adam gase josh mcdainils is is not doing much for the uh the irish coaches of america mcdaniel is doing a really nice job macdainil's not doing so well irishman and plurality struggling yeah yeah pretty much that that extra s on there yeah sounds for it's it's all Yeah, it's it. That's why Mike McCarthy is doing so well. Yeah.

There's only one Mike McDaniel. Yeah. All right, one of one. Okay, so I don't have a word for this game. Perfect. The commitment to this bit is, is subpar. That could be your word. I don't, I don't have a word in this.

This game was like, the NFL always needs one of these games on a Sunday. You know, the one that you're like, who's watching that game? You know, like, what sadistic fucks were watching that game? That's Chargers Falcons for me. Oh, no, no, no. Sadistic's a good word. Yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah, that's good.

Sadistic. My one word for the Chargers versus the Atlanta Falcons is 23, because that's Dicker's two game winning kicks this year from 23 yards on two different teams. Is there hyphen in 23? Yeah, there is. My word is dicker. Yeah, mine is also dicker. Yeah.

Because this kicker, man, he's making his way. He gets around. And his last name's Dicker. He gets around, man. He was in Philly making kicks. Now he's in L.A. Here's the thing about this game. By the way, great play by Khalil Mack,

game changing play, hustle play, taking the ball off of whoever the fuck it was. We weren't watching that close. No offense, Falcons fans. I'm going to watch this game on like Wednesday when I get a free minute. But, you know, like there were a lot of options on the menu yesterday. Okay. Marriota had an overthrow that could have won that.

that game. I mean, they had their chances to win that game. And by the way, Chargers almost Charger did. The Echler, uh, fumble. Wow. How about these two teams having a contest to see who can blow the game? In the, in one play. In one play, bro. How about that? Eckler's like, oh, I'll fumble. And then the guy picks it up and runs a long way. He's like, oh, I'll fumble too. And then Justin, and then the, the Falcons defense is like, oh, we'll give a big chunk. And Chargers was like, I'm not willing to miss this kick. That'd be too much commitment to the bit. So, yeah, dicker. Pat's Colts?

What you got, Kyle? Didn't. I'm going to go. Why don't have a phone written out of my notes? Frank needs to call it God. Yeah, no, no, no. Ursa needs to call somebody because I don't know. It's not phone.

It's blame. It's who's to blame here. And how, no, it's floor, floor. How low do the Colts have the lowest floor in the league? Maybe. I don't know. I don't know. Is it a mandate that Ellinger has to play the entire game?

Because at halftime with three points, why don't you go to Nick Foles? Bro, because they're trying to hang. Because they're trying to, Jim RSA. At three, four and one? I mean, shoot. Okay. Let me make a case for this. Okay.

I got my little notes here. Okay. We know they've never taken a swing of a quarterback, right? That's the problem. They've kept, and I don't, let's talk about the blame. First and foremost. Who are you blaming? Is it Frank Reich?

Is it Ballard? Like who's, I think that the blame is shared. Whose fault do you think it is that they're where they are? I don't know that it's anybody's fault. Matt Ryan looks good to me on paper before the season. Yeah, there you go. Andrew Luck. If we're going to blame something, I know he can take it.

And I don't blame him. But, you know, like think about 2018. You know, they actually draft really well in the first round. They get Quentin and now it's Shaq. Jack Griffin. Leonard. Leonard. I always fuck that up.

He's fucking. Well, he asks for it. Well, he's the man. He can, you know, if he wants to change his name, you can do that. So they get Quentin Nelson and Shaq. Leonard. Barrett. I mean, there's a whole.

There's a whole. Another. So, one Irishman. 2018, that's, that's Lux's last actual year. If they knew that he was done, they picked one pick before Buffalo. Buffalo picked Josh Allen. Wow. You know, and then, you know, you got Lamar later in that draft.

Luck retires in 19. Yeah. Had they known, maybe they'd take, and this is interesting, Reed, this is where you come in. Luck retired in 2019. If they knew before the draft, maybe they'd take Drew Locke off y'all's hands because he was the next quarterback taken after Rock Yassine. And in 2020, they dealt their first round pick to San Francisco for Buckner, right? And I might be misremembering this, but, you know,

know, Herbert was there at six. Maybe you can trade up or something like that. Maybe you don't. So the point I'm making is, as much I want to just blindly blame Ballard for the quarterback stuff, like the luck thing threw a big wrench in this whole thing. And, you know, I want to blame Frank Reich too because I just watched the team with Malik Willis

throwing the ball eight times, going to fucking Kansas City and taking those boys to overtime. and the other coaching your division is that coach. He's the one that's making chicken soup. You know what I mean? Yes. You know you're picking up what I'm putting down. And like the Colch, you're telling me,

you can't figure out a way to not go 0 for 14 on third down, to not gain 120 yards on offense, the lowest since like the 90s for them, to not lose 24 nothing to the Jags, to not give up nine sacks to the Broncos and 12-9 loss of where the fuck it was. Now this, they have the lowest floor in the league quite possible. And it just, I know they're bad, but it shouldn't be this bad.

And the reason it makes sense that they might be tanking is the biggest mistake they made, by the way, was letting Glowinsky go. And they got the highest paid offensive line, and this is just not good. But you've got five teams with less wins than them right now. Carolina, Houston, Detroit. They're all hunting quarterbacks. So you're not losing fast enough because there's a big ledge from, you know, Levis, Stroud, love, to, and you might disagree,

because Tanner McGee might be. Brennan Armstrong. Yeah, I know how you like those Pack 12 guys. But there's a big ledge. You know what I mean? And if you're the odd man out in that group, you're going to be right back where you started. Just give me the guy from USC.

Spinning the wheel on a developmental quarterback or a fucking veteran quarterback, dude. Like Jimmy G. will be in indie next year or something. And that's not like, that's not what Colts fans want to see. They want to see you. The one thing they haven't done is commit to tanking.

So yeah, my word might be tanking. And you should. I'm not saying you lose on purpose, but yeah. Decide what you want to do here. That city runs on great quarterbacks. At 3, 5, and 1, they now at the moment have the 14th pick

in the 2023 and a 4th. And 7 teams are tied for, you know, like, so there's so many bad teams. If you look at this thing, how many teams? I was looking at this last night. So there are 1, 2, 3, 4 teams with two wins.

there's one with one win and there's like 17 teams with three and a lot of these teams are not hunting quarterback so like the Bears three wins they're not hunting a quarterback

Arizona maybe they should be but not Jacksonville probably not Green Bay they just signed Aaron they just signed Aaron but you know

like I would trade them I don't know why they didn't trade them at the deadline Philly not Philly's not Denver although never say never

with Philly look at these ones that's where they're headed Seattle Seattle who knows You know, Detroit's got, but Detroit's already going to have picked their quarterback, and then Houston's already going to have picked their quarterback.

So Indy, like, they're actually not in a bad spot for being 14. Like, you can get to three or four pretty quickly. Like one week, you can be at three or four. So I look at, I look at Indy and I'm saying, just make up your fucking mind, dude. What are you going to be? And let us know, because damn near picked the Colts on Friday, plus five and a half. No. All right.

Last one word game, Arizona, Seattle. Gino. Yeah. Frustrating. So frustrating. So frustrating. That one too? Arizona.

For the pockets, are they hurting today? No, no, no. It was just a small thing. And more than anything, it's just giving them out on Thursday because the lines are saying, I'm not giving out any more stinky lines because the same thing happened last week with Houston and Tennessee. I know.

It's just Vegas this year has not. My words Vegas. They did it with... Do they not know or are they just baiting us? Remember the Washington thing? Yes. When they were like baiting us with Washington and it was like, nah, it is I, Washington. Mm-hmm.

You know, like they were just Washington. Yes. So, I don't know, frustrating. I mean, you re-up, you re-up Kyler, you re-up Cliff. Like, what's going on here? Like, they're trapped. Maybe that's the word trapped. If you're here in Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, Louisiana,

So before we jump into a little story time, we just got news that Frank Wright has been relieved of his duties as the Indianapolis Colts coach. Chris, you just talked about it on the Rich Eisen Show. you can check out Rich. Am I pronouncing that correctly? Rich Eisen. Is that right? Like Jacob. Jacob Ison.

It's Rich Eason. It's right. That's what I thought. What network is he on? The Rich Eisen network. Yeah, exactly. That's what I thought. I just wasn't sure.

That's right. Yeah. But anyway. Sorius XM. They'll be looking for a new head coach in Indianapolis. Yeah. Well, you said relieved of his duties

and that's well put because it is a relief to not coach the damn cults because they are duty. Yeah, it's duty. It's become a duty. It's not an easy. Listen, I feel bad for Frank Reich.

I mean, you know, it's hard to be a coach in the NFL. I love Frank Reich. When Frank Reich was in Philly, he was one of the most respected people in that locker room. Like, period. When he spoke, people listen. And, you know, I don't think leadership is his problem or anything like that.

I just think he's, he's fallen short on a team that has not been constructed well. Chris Ballard has not done a great job. We talked about that, but they were behind the eight ball because Andrew Luck. So I feel for Frank Reich, it sucks that, you know, like the quarterbacks

that you guys made a decision on because he was involved in those decisions, I'm pretty sure, especially the Carson one, and that one bit him in the ass with the draft capital and that sort of thing. He shares a lot of the blame. So this is the way business goes, and I feel for them, but Colts got to start over.

I wonder if they're going to go defensive or offensive-minded coach. It's an interesting question. I think if you're in the market for a quarterback, a lot of times people do talk about an offensive head coach, although I have campaigned for the DC and San Francisco, D.C. and San Francisco, D.M.O.R.I. to be a Carolina guy. I just, you know, the hard thing about going defense when you draft a young quarterback is that if the quarterback's pretty good,

he's going to be a kingmaker and he's going to make a coordinator, a new head coach, and that cycle's going to happen. You know, like, so you're going to have to change coaches a bunch. I think you probably go offense, right? I mean, I think it would be fun to see an Indianapolis team that was defensive-minded from its head coach's perspective, so, like, we could put in place Domingo Ryan's as a defensive-minded head coach.

And then you get yourself a young, Hot-shot coordinator like you're talking about to work with your draft. Who's gonna leave in two years. With your draft picket quarterback who sets you up for success, who no longer needs the coordinator after year three or four.

Josh Allen. And you can bring in a new guy to work with it. Speak of the devil, it's a copy-cac league. Nick Siriani was Colts O.C. for three or four years before in Philly. Does you agree that could be a formula for success? Any of this could be. The bottom line is you got to hit on the quarterback.

Yeah. Oh, I mean, absolutely. That's it. Now you look at Justin Herbert though with a defensive head coach, Like, I do think he's holding him back, you know? You think it's an attractive job to prospective coaches? I don't think so. Probably have a long leash with a new quarterback.

I don't know that I do think it's an attractive job. Now, I'd have to look a little bit closer, but I'm just thinking about, like, some of the jobs that might be open this year. They do have a par three in front of their facility, Chris. They do, I swear to God, when you pull into the Indianapolis Colts facility, there's a little practice hole. I feel like if I was a head coach, if things were shitty, you could quiet. I thought I meant like a par three course.

No, there's like two or three holes out front, probably, I'd say. But you can go out there and quietly quit in a peaceful series. Well, moan mode, mode. I think it's moan, moan. Mone. Yeah, it's all moan. How about this, the defensive coordinator right now in Indianapolis is Gus Bradley? Yeah, Gus Bradley.

33 years in the NFL. Yeah. That's too long. It's like the presidency. So you can't become a head coach after that long. You can't be a head coach again after 33 years in the NFL. What about Bill Belichick? I think he was in there like a fucking half century before he got the...

But there was... No, he wasn't. There's new rules. There's about 20 years for him. New rules. Do you agree though? Like... Yeah, I don't know, man.

I do think they should take shots at younger coaches. And Gus Bradley did beat Patrick Mahomes this year after all that. You know, people were like... Because he got up at the podium and was like, we did a good job against the Kansas City Chiefs last year when I was in Vegas and people were like, nah, you didn't. And that was true. But then he did a good job the first game they played this year.

That's actually one of Kansas City's loss is inexplicably. 20 of 17, I think. It's one of their favorite scores. Sky more game. Sky more game. I don't know who the fuck they hire, man. It's not going to be me. That's all that matters.

And that's a good thing. So I don't want to coach that team. Uh, 64, 211 for Frank Reich. 57th overall pick in 85. Yeah, he's a big guy. Rheemates with Boomer Asiessen? He went to Maryland.

I think he was roommates with Boomer Assison. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So talking about the sky, you had a interaction with the sky this weekend, right? No, not a sky boy. An interaction with the sky!

That's good. I almost didn't have an interaction with the fucking sky because the private plane that I had paid a lot of money for to take my wife on our dating anniversary up to the Philadelphia Phillies game. She's the South Jersey. a gal, I've been waiting to see a world series game our whole life. So I splurge on a little PJ via Wheels Up. You see the fucking commercials for them, you know, time to time. Well, don't

believe everything you see. Wheels down, Bob. More like Wheels Down. More like Wheels Down, because we were slated to take off at 12 midnight. The pilots, the people that Wheels Up knew that we were at a World Series game. We were told no problem. If you're sitting in traffic at 1215 in the morning because baseball game is fucking seven hours long. No problem. So we're sitting in traffic, gridlock 1210. Decide we want to check in with the pilots. Oh, they're leaving the FBI because their duty time is up. Well, I don't know what it's. Is that what it is? That's where the private planes part. Well, it's where the fucking planes take off. And so here we are. No hotels because you know World Series. Um, uh, you know, I haven't slept in days. I'm fucking

man. This was a this was a this was a put the team on my back moment right and I'm hearing that the pilots have Inexplicably left the FBO because of duty time which is of course supposed to be you're supposed to warn people if the pilots are gonna leave if you're 15 minutes late for a fucking private flight that's kind of in the description of a of taking a private plane So these these guys leave no disrespect to the pilots because the wheels up had them by the balls and we get to the FBI. I am fucking so mad, dude. I'm like, I got an Uber back to Virginia because our kids are here. We got childcare through the night,

like this is a one-night thing, one-night only. Yeah, I'm complaining about a first world problem. Buckle up. I'm going to keep doing it. So we get to the FBI, grab my stuff. I'm going to get in a car at one in the morning to go back to Virginia. I'm going to get home at 6 a.m.

And somebody taps me on the shoulder who will go unnamed in the FBI and say, going to Charlottesville. One of the Houston Astros owners lives in the Charlottesville area. He's went to school here. He's a great

man and he had an Astros vest on and that sort of thing. He had three people with him. What are the odds that somebody's going to Charlottesville, Virginia at 12.30 in the morning after game like that? Well, me and my wife looking like dumbasses in our Phillies gear, hop

on the plane with a couple Astros execs and hitch a ride. back to Charlottesville and I just, I'm so appreciative of redacted because should I share his name? Probably shouldn't share his name. I don't know.

I probably shouldn't. He does have a low profile. He does. I'm so appreciative of redacted because he's such a great man. Always been like that. Maybe he should start a wheels up because wheels up,

not very good at getting wheels up. Wheels even more up. Yeah. So anyways, dude, and I'm still locked into a contract with wheels up for a certain amount of hours the rest of the year, fuck it, it's going to be uncomfortable in the cabin because I say get net jets or something like that.

I am such a scorned individual right now. I don't care if the pilot's side-eye me when I get on the plane to go wherever I'm going next. So there were over hours, the minute they tuck in their shirt on their little like their outfit, they go on time. When you book, when you. I want to know. When you book a flight like that and you pay too much money for a flight like that,

it should be in the description on the manifest that if you get to the airport 15 minutes behind, the pilots are going to go home. Now they have to because if that bird goes down, like wheels up is. Wheels up's fucked. What Wheels Up needs to do is tell the customer who's paying a lot of money for the service that maybe you want to be careful about not getting to the thing 15%. minutes late as people do routinely when they go that way. Right. Or if you're scheduling a flight for midnight after a World Series game,

maybe it's the first flight of those pilots day, not the last flight of those pilots day. I don't want to expect too much out of wheels up. So anyways, this is my, this is my ass Jeeves or fucking, is that what they do when they leave reviews and shit? Yeah. Yeah. Like Yelp. Yeah, this is my Yelp.

This is my PJ Yelp here. And there's going to be some people who are going to say first world problems. Hey, fuck you. Wait, did you stuff to pay for it? Huh? Did you still have to pay for the way back? No, but it doesn't matter. I was almost stranded into, you know why I didn't have to pay for it?

Because it's like the 17th time with wheels up. Hey, you got it? They offered to pay for my Uber. Oh, my God. You got a dating anniversary? Southwest would have given me a fucking coupon somewhere. Go ahead. Are you like 16 years old?

No, man. Fuck you. You know, some people like their family and shit like that. You know what I mean? I love my family, man. Hey, Chris, do you remember the dream team? Hollow Man, me standing in the FBI. Do you remember the dream team?

Yeah. Comprised of all the great players in the NBA. I don't even know the year. 1992. They had a coach by the name of Chuck Daly, and Chuck Daly held a team meeting before their first practice. He said, I got one rule here. You got to be on time.

Fuck Chuck Daly And fuck wheels up Well people weren't paying Chuck Daly a bunch of money for a service He's like we're out here in Barcelona I just want to say this So people have a very accurate representation of this Before you tweet at me and tell me it's a first world problem Again fuck you

We ask specifically if the World Series game runs late As it does will we be okay At 10 p.m. You guys will be fine You guys were in the right You guys would be fine Meg was, we're going to pull my wife out of the Phillies game and three, two ball game in the bottom of the night. Here's the worst part.

This leads to me Saturday night. I'm not going to splurge on a flight down to Baton Rouge. I went to the Phillies game. I had to, that hurt my pockets, right? Yeah. So I'm not going to go down to Baton Rouge. It's been a rough week. I'm not Pat McAfee.

I can't just swipe the card and throw on a blazer and get on the jet. Just hop on the PJ. This is a sometimes thing for me. So anyways, Saturday night, I'm sitting here with Makin, by the way. I hung out. We hung out. Yeah.

That was cool. Yeah. Game ball. Me. Game ball you for hanging out. Yep. Did you have fun? I did have fun.

Good, good, good. I did have fun. And we watched LSU. And to be honest, it looked fucking stupid on TV. And Ryan was still sending pictures of, you know, from the field. He's rushing the field. Constantly. Maybe be a little more present, Ryan, in your phone.

So Hollow Man Me, like double whammy. Hey, and by the way, this stat let, or I forget the stat, but I'll just, I'll tell you, story. One of the last times a city was playing a team in two sports at the same time, including the World Series, was St. Louis Cardinals playing Texas Rangers in 2011, and the St. Louis Rams, coached by Steve Spagnolo, went to Dallas to get the ball run up our ass by the Cowboys. And the night before the game, imagine my displeasure when Steve decided that we were

going to go support the St. Louis Cardinals and go sit in the upper deck as a team. We bust to the goddamn Rangers. Rangers Park, bro. Arlington. Yeah, it's 40 minutes. Another Miami situation. The city's like a damn.

Great area, Arlington. Yeah, it's looked nice. I can see the whole area from our seats. How was the stadium? You could see all of it. I couldn't see the stadium that while. I was so high up in that motherfucker. But anyways, the Cardinals got smoked, dude, like 17 to 1.

We get back to the hook. until like 10 p.m. I'm my back's acting up because I'm sitting in the bleachers at a fucking world series game. I can care less. And it just leads me on the next point, which is that I shouldn't go to pro sporting events anymore because I am kryptonite, bro. Whether it was the game right after our tire when I came to a Bears game and y'all lost the Packers, not that that was me because there's obviously a track record there. But Chiefs won against the bills last year. That was it. That's it. I've been to a blue Stanley Cup game. We got select by the Bruins. Of course, we won that series.

And then I've been to now the Phillies game where we lost to Houston. I went to Yankee Stadium. They lost to fucking Houston. I should stay away. I think so. Why don't we do this? We'll get a couple of VR headsets.

You'll send me. I'll put one on. I'll turn the little switch on. You can be wherever you want to be and have the other one. And then you can turn the switch on. We'll connect. I'll be in person.

So you don't have to go to the game, but you'll be there. Like an Oculus. The metaverse. Chris, welcome to the meta. I don't even think that's safe for the team. In 2011, the Cardinals won that game 16 to 7.

Oh, they did? Yeah. You sure about that? Pretty sure. I'm pretty sure. It was the first game in Texas. I couldn't see the fucking field, dude. I couldn't see the goddamn field.

Making fact check them. You got it right, that it was lopsided. Yeah, it was lopsided. Yeah. So maybe we did push the Cardinals over the edge that night. Yeah. But imagine me at 10 p.m. on a Quicks bus riding through Dallas. So pissed.

Just like, dude, this is my time. So anyways, maybe I'm not as bad as I think. You know, but that trip was awful. No, the Philly's trip was cool. And by the way, I want to shout out the dude in Philly who actually bought me a drink. You know how they always say, like, you'll never buy a drink again in the city? It was three, four years running, buying drinks, left and right in Philly. And this guy met me in the concourse at the bank and bought me a drink.

So shout out to that guy, man. That's a great guy. who's cool as fuck, man. I love a good fan interaction. Code breaks telling somebody sit down at a World Series game? Sure. Yes. A guy in Mittens told these guys from the South Jersey maybe.

No, they were definitely from Philly to sit down and there was almost a fight in the stands. They were like, it's the fucking World Series. Code break. I think that is a code break. So Hollow Man me, dude. Just generally Hollow Man for me. Would you like to share that you Matt, Mattress Max, Pilot? That's the best part.

Yeah, that's the best part. So I'm in the FBO and there's these two guys sitting there and I have no idea. But then Redacted starts talking to him and he's like, these are Mattress Mac's pilots and I've never fanboid so much for somebody's pilots. I was like, when's Mattress Mac? Oh, interesting, Kyle. Hey, Kyle, how did you get the rock off? Is that like the My Pillow?

How did you lift the rock off of you this morning? Because you're living under a fucking rock. You've got a cell phone, yeah? Yeah. Can you just explain to me who Mattress Mac is? Okay, Mattress Mac. Who fucking playing with your food? I'm gonna do it with as many, as few words as possible. Mattress Mac sells furniture.

Mattress Mac hedges a furniture giveaway every year with a large bet. Mattress Mac, the degenerate gambler. Got it. He's like 80 years old. Mattress Mac. He's like Dan Belzerian for old gamblers. For furniture guys. Always bets the Astros. He's like a Christian.

Always bets the Astros. Okay. How much did he win? He's a Christian. He's a Christian. 75 mil. Stop. He's a Christian Furniture, damn Belzerian.

And he has pilots, and I met them. And he's... Oh, my God. He's like an actual old man. Dog, he's cool as shit. The one thing about the Astros that I'm okay with. Well, two things. Dusty Baker and Mattress Mac.

And Bregman, because we party one night. And he was cool. Yeah. Was he a big cheater? I want to meet Altuve. He's an LSU guy, right? Because he's tiny. I don't want to talk about LSU.

place looks how Tuvay and I would be buddies I feel like because he's like the smallest guy in the room and I was the biggest guy in the room he might be the baddest guy in the room I don't know if you let him wear a wire yeah okay so you said Hollow Man

I would almost argue this kind of you got some cool stories out of this it's almost a game ball thank you wheels up well game ball you for making it through all these yeah thank you I appreciate it but a big game ball to you for hanging out too, though. Thank you. Yeah, exactly. Saturday night, activities gang?

Yeah. Okay. Put in like six hours. Miller Light mentions. Okay, go. Give them all out. The best moments in a sports fan's life are in football season. I'm not talking about September. I'm not talking about the first week in October. I'm not even talking about the second week in October. I'm talking about when it gets colder, the temperature drops, the games get bigger, the hits get harder, and you can curl up and watch some meaningful football. I like to do it with a Miller light from the fridge. and a cold frosty mug from the freezer. Frosty mug, meat, a cold, beautiful can of Miller Light from my fridge.

That's teamwork. We come together, we can make a great play out there, and the best play to make on a Sunday is a nice, cold Miller Light and a frosty mug at home. That's my favorite thing. Maybe a fire in the fireplace. Yeah, now we're talking. But Miller Light, it's an original,

and it's more than that. It's been a fan favorite since 1975. The best part, no matter how your team plays, Miller Light is always a winner. The perfect beer for Sundays, I gave you the hot tip. Having that frosty mug is a lot like having home field advantage.

I mean, like, it just makes everything better for your boy and your boy's friends who file in every Sunday to enjoy cold, ice cold Miller Light at my house. I mean, we have a lot of people over, and I've got to have the Miller Light stocked up. A lot of light beer cuts back on the most, crucial ingredient flavor.

Just 96 calories and 3.2 carbs for 12 ounce serving. Miller Light, quick on its feet, heavy hitting on flavor. No wonder it's been MVP from day one. This football season, enjoy the sweet taste of victory with Miller Light,

the original light beer. Find it pretty much anywhere beer is sold. Go to 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.

I don't know the nomenclature for the referees slash officials, but whoever was responsible for the pass interference on Eddie Jackson, and whoever was responsible for the no-call. Even more terrible. On the hip jujitsu move by the cornerback on Chase Claypool. Granted, you got to catch that football. If you got hands in the, you got to make a play on the football better than what I saw from Chase Claypool.

He had no chance to catch it because he was getting tackled. So that's my hollow man, the officials in the Bears game. I'll give you hollow man. Drew Tranquil. You guys see this play? No. Falcons Chargers, Cordero Patterson from the one or the two. Oh, my goodness.

Meets 49. Should have just said Corderole Patterson. Right in the hole. Pull this bad boy up, Kingston. Hey, you want to talk about rhinoceros? Like an attack? That's great, too. I got it.

The celebration or the, not the celebration. Yoikes, dude. Boom! That happens to the best of us. And look how Juice Cordero Patterson was after it. Like, you know that's on your highlight. Look at him, get up. He's like, oh.

That's a big play. That's a big play. Damn, dude. You know, that happens to the best of us. And to Drew Tranquil. Sure. He'll be the first of time. And to me.

I've been trucked before. You're a fan of Drew Tranquil. will look away, says Ryan sample on Twitter. Drew. Football player. Drew Tranquil stands are shaking in their boots right now. Yeah. My son took the jersey off his wall.

Yeah, pretty much. This morning. Yeah. More like, never mind. Okay. Best worst, Bev. Best and worst. Best, best, best, best, best, uh, best flight.

You guys go first. Best flight will be the two winner. men and women's winners of the elite groups at the New York City Marathon. Evan Chibet and Sharon Liketti of Kenya. They're going to have a long flight back. I'm sure it's going to be highly sponsored seats, the laydown seats, beautiful. You just ran for 26 and a half miles. You're probably gassed.

A nice nap is in order. If I was going home to Kenya, I'd probably take an edible on the way home. Yeah. Wake up a champion. If I was going home to Richmond, I'd take a fucking edible on the way home. I'm going to take an edible on the way home today. I'm going to Ivy. That's my best flight.

So shout out to the winners. What if they're on the fucking plane doing calisthenics. They're probably cramping up on the plane. You remember when guys you just cramp up on the plane? Oh, it was like, are you okay? No, they're not okay, dude. Guys rolling around in the aisles. Go ahead.

Best flight Miami Dolphins. We talked about it. Be the lions by four, then the Chicago Bears by three. Browns by Texans. They're in a good spot to get to eight and three. and a couple of bears appear to be legitimately spooky and the lions can get you any given week.

So Miami Dolphins. I'm going to go Seahawks. Yeah. You know like another, just enough. They keep reeling off winds when we think like last week, the Giants. You're like, all right, it finally comes to an end for the Seahawks. They lose a game here. They don't look great.

Gino looks human. I wonder if they flew to Munich. I'll look that up as you. I think this is a week. Oh, so they fly Tuesday. Oh, so they fly two. It's my guest, Monday or Tuesday. Well, I don't think they, do you think they hopped on a flight out, you know?

Sometimes. Wait, wait, wait, where do they play? That would stress me out having to pack for two things. I hate that. Right, but even flying back home, I'd be like, oh, we gotta do this again in a day. Yeah, you're right, you're right, you're right. But, but. Wherever they're going, they're happy.

Yep. You know, Pete Carroll's got Jordan Peterson on the flight. Yes. So, I mean, that doesn't really help them. They got to fly home first. Okay. Call, look at a map. You gotta go up.

Yeah, you gotta go up and then go right. Doesn't really help them. could be a pilot. Okay. You can fucking work for wheels up. The duty time, dude. I've been watching games for 27 hours yesterday. I could fly a plane.

Okay. Oh, this is interesting. According to some cat, Seattle will be in the air for only one half hour longer than Tampa Bay due to being much farther north. That's incredible. See? Yeah.

Again, me, you're pretty good. Pilot. Yeah. Okay. What do you, okay. What do you do when, okay.

Pull up. You're about, no, you're about to land. What do you do? You make sure that the damn, the back wheels hit first. You want to hit the back wheels first. You aced it. I was just to take the wheels down. You want to take the wheels down.

We've already done that. You say we're about to land. We put the wheels down at about 5,000 feet. Okay. And we always want to check to make sure they're down. Yeah. And then at that point, we want to angle the nose. We take it off autopilot.

We want to angle the nose up. Okay, you're at 30,000 feet, a whole lot of turrets. What do you do? I get on the thing and say, stay calm, everybody. It's a lot like being on a boat. Seriously, that's what somebody told me. It's a lot like being on a boat. So I would get on the intercom system.

And just say that. And I would be like, think about if you were on a boat and you went over some bumps, would you be nervous? No, we're just going over some chop. There's a couple waves here. Can't sink this boat? Yeah, that's really good. Yeah.

A lot better than anything I've ever heard. Yeah. Okay. I would be a pretty, I want to be a pilot's PR guy like basically a PA system guy that rides up in the cockpit with the pilots and talks to the people. They're so loud when they come on. No, or not loud at all. No, they don't have to be the or they whispering. And then a guy's voice nasally. It's like I just let me fucking sleep. I fell sleep on the runway. Leave me be. How about when a pilot doesn't apologize for being 19 hours late,

they just kind of gloss over it. Like here's some peanuts. All right. So, um, yeah, worst flight green no i don't know about green bag LA the Rams the Rams dude Tennessee Tennessee's got a good flight they're happy no because they're like

we don't have enough with tannahill to beat them what do you mean they played them tough they don't have enough with malique willis to beat them they don't throw the football they're not versatile

damn calm yeah damn Kyle that's what I'm thinking on the plane we just gave our best shot to the Kansas City cheese. With Malik Willis? I don't think that's your best shot. That's not their best shot. That is their best shot right now. Well, with Tanna Thrill injured? Well, let's go.

Where's Tanna Thrill? Where was he last night? So what have you done for me lately league? Oh gosh. We did power rankings this morning accordingly. Okay. I was going to take whoever you guys didn't take from Rams, Raiders, Colts, Packers. And you went Tennessee? Is that what you used one with? Yeah. Sunday night, short week? Fuck, I

I hate the plan. Yeah, the Colts have the worst flight. Flying home at night. I don't have a coach now. Oh, Colts have a worst flight. That was their last flight ever with Frank Reich. That's sad. That's really sad. Yeah. Colts.

You landed an empty airport parking lot. You're the only humans on the road. Next. Oh, I got a viewing party. I do too. Bear with me. Zach Wilson's ex-girlfriend. Her new man caught a touchdown.

Yeah. Caught a touchdown yesterday's game. So she's all like, I win. And then she's at the game and up on the Jumbotron, they show the X, the X, beating Josh Allen in the Buffalo Bills and you're like, ooh. Yeah. You know, like I better

act like I didn't see that. Right. So, Joe Mamas. Viewing party, you know. Zach Wilson is hot. Is that, that's what, hotter than Stetson Bennett. So Brennan Schmidt's hot?

Brennan Schmidt. Because he looks like Brennan Schmidt. Google Brennan Schmidt, former Jet, former Virginia D. D. Lyman. Brennan Schmidt's hot? Yeah.

What? He's hot. Fuck Mary Kill. Stets and Brent Bennett, Brennan Schmidt. I'm too close to I'm too close to Sam Hartman

Sam Hartman Stetson Bennett or Zach Wilson fuck Mary Kill give me give me the first one again Sam Hartman Oh fuck fuck fuck fuck

Fuck fuck fuck Easy Okay and then Look at thick Zach Wilson Brennan Schmidt Yeah he looks He's got a henna tattoo That's a henna tattoo

After the Music City Bowl That's a henna tattoo bro That was a bad time He does look like him Yeah Yeah, that's Zach Wilson's uncle. I like your viewing party, Chris.

Yeah, it's a good viewing party. My viewing party is we're going to Missoula, Montana, where the Gris mauled, the California Polytechnical State University. Yeah. Caltech. 57 and nothing in a blizzard. The blizzard. And you know what?

I've never been to a game in Missoula. Yeah, we need to go. But I've heard all about it. We're only there in the summer and never the fall. We need to go. That's my bevel. Off the board. Great.

Nice. Snow game. First one. Looks gorgeous. games. Just give me snow. That's great. Viewing party, Marcus Brady. Colts couldn't score. Fired me for this.

Next week's viewing party, probably Frank Reich. But Marcus Brady got to watch Indy just pee down their legs in Foxborough. Viewing party, Ben Johnson. Is that his name? The offensive question I ask every time. The offensive coordinator and fuck it. It's just a weird name, Ben Johnson. Translates to was a penis. Was a penis. Yeah. Loosely.

Okay. So, Yeah, because he's going to be a head coach. Has been a penis. Yeah. I have a fly on the wall, which is going to be, I'd love to have been T.J. Hawkinson experiencing not only the game yesterday, the big win after the trade,

but being there throughout the week, experiencing a winning culture. It's got to be new for him. You're getting it now, Kyle. Yeah, that's my fly on the wall. And he had nine targets, nine catches. Guy went for 70 yards. Get busy early.

It's huge for them, man. Yeah. I'll go fly in the wall, Nate Collins murdering turkeys, because that's beginning right now as we speak. You know, he works for Kelly Bronze. You know, he's like the turkey executioner. Did you know this? Did you know this? I'm not sure how to answer.

What the fuck? Honesty is always the best policy, and so I did not know that. So Dr. Fax has a side hustle. Are you surprised by that? No. Yeah, actually. Really? Yeah, he's like a tender cat.

Joveal. Dossile. picture of murdering. Well, the way he thinks about it, they're these, they're just fucking turkey, you know, food on the table, and it's over quick,

from what I hear. But he's just out there, he's like the fucking, um, does he have the gun from no country for old men? It's like that, dude. It's like that.

He's going to bring the poultry protesters to our door. Bring them. Bring them. No. I'd love to have. We get some mashed potatoes in the front of the, the turkeys? Yeah.

Really? No, it's not an air. Here. It's an air. It's an air. It's an air. It's an air.

No, I have. So it's an air tank. Tell us about that. It's an air tank that's connected to a little metal pin. And when you press the button, the air shoots against the pin and it goes into their brain and back out. Oh, lovely. So it's very. It's not a gun as much as it's like a chill air pressure.

Yep. But yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the most. Thanksgiving's coming. And so, yeah. Fly on the wall. I want to see what Nate Collins is all about back there. Does he show remorse?

Does he cry? at the end of it. He'd cry in the car. Yeah, I mean, honestly, the whole process is Happy Thanksgiving. We had a fly in our house this week. On the wall of the fly.

And I killed it with a rolled up New Yorker. And there was blood. There was blood spatter. Uh-huh. From this fly. Mm-hmm. And I actually didn't, I killed it on,

like an island, not really a wall so much. But that fly is now deceased. And I'd be, well, I'd be lying if I said, and wonder what that felt like sometimes, you know? Not so much just like, you know, we were talking about it on Saturday night. What's it like? What if it's worse than this?

What hell? Dying. Like after death? Yeah. After life. Yeah, like is it better or worse? It's gotta be, it's gotta be, It's got to be good.

It can't be worse. I would say it's everything. I don't think I have to do any power rankings than hell. I would say it's everything. But to your point on this weekend, you're like, what if it's just Wednesday over and over again? Yeah, that's what I mean. Over and over. If, if, you know, it's like a severance.

It's like severance. You can't escape the office. Yeah. You're just fucking trying to book a guest perpetually. You're trying to, yeah. So I know I just said I don't like murdering, but the flies, my family doesn't like. flies okay that's good sex we have anything else MVP STL Memorial how about the guy that was was the fan came on the field yesterday and nobody saw it oh it was perfect timing where was it

it was the Raiders Jacksonville game exactly the punt Raiders punt to Jacksonville this guy right as the as the cameras panning to watch the returner catch a punt this guy comes from one corner shirtless with a ball that we hope he grabbed from a ball boy on the sideline and sprinted across the field. And just like that, Trevor Lawrence was like, fuck, I'm not going to win STL Memorial anymore. Wow. That's the guy.

Balling in obscurity, Damien Pierce, Thursday night, 27 for 139. He gets like two extra yards than you think he's going to get. He gets really small, hides in there between you big guys, and always falls forward. It's ridiculous. That guy's amazing. I love that guy.

Boy, Pierce or Kenneth Walker. Kenneth Walker, but Pierce is also very good. I'd love to get something right in preseason. STL Memorial for me is going to be. It's tough to name an STL Memorial for a guy that's paid so highly, but he's a guy that not many people know, and that's Joe Tunney, left guard for the Kansas City Chiefs, technician, quiet assassin.

He's the guy that relays the message from the center to Orlando Brown, polar opposites of Trey Smith on the right side. Joe Tuny is like Madden, you know, Joe Tuny is like Madden, creative player won offensive line style. Like he uses the same technique all the time. He was a wrestler.

He's a baller. And he had a great game last night. Beville Conway, I'm going to give it to last night, Sunday night football. I drove home six hours with the wife and kid yesterday, and it was a great drive, but it was so nice to get home and watch that game.

It was beautiful. Arrowhead was all. Awesome. See, I give my double Conway to the jerseys, the reds, the blues, the whites, the light blues, and then you add to the fact. Yeah, the red, white, and blue. Red, white, and blue, huh? A lot of it.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, I see what you're doing. Listen to Dixie over there, Chris, aren't we? Sorry, Pimp. LSU Alabama. That's my Bevel Conway Award winner. I like how they protect the eye in the center of the field when they rush the field. That was interesting.

Y'all can all rush the field. All y'all come on here, but nobody touched the eye. That's such a cool place. I'm over it. It's such a cool place. We're going to go there soon. What's the biggest SEC game remaining? Not applicable.

It looks like. Yeah, not applicable. Not here. Next year. Game ball, Patrick Mahomes, 43 completions, backbreaking, tying possession,

putting his team in position to win the football game, doing what he does best. Game ball, Josh Uche, New England Patriots, three sacks. Judon also had three,

but Uche doesn't wear red sleeve, so he gets less shine, except for on this show, where he gets a game ball. Game ball. I'm going to give it to Gino. Yeah. You know, it's like a year-long game ball. Like it's been long overdue. I don't know if we've given him a game ball yet, but this guy just continues to look like

a real bona fide NFL quarterback. Where have you been hiding? Well, New York. Yeah. New York. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah.

This goes to show how much situations playing. Situations, bro. Before we get into... Situations. Before we move on to Nicole in the college football playoff, do you all have any college football playoff ranking guesses? You might have some. How low does Tennessee go?

How low can we go? Should be five. Give me a second. I wanted to punish them. You were five in the poll that came out last night. Yeah. Oh, what did it? What did Kansas State come out?

TCU. Yeah. Four. Good. It'll be four. Good. Well, there are four unbeaten. So let's have those guys in the four in some order.

It's probably Georgia. Yeah, I think the AP's got it right. Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan, TCU. Did Georgia Tech beat Virginia Tech this weekend? Yeah. Oh, fuck. America's teams. Georgia Tech.

Yep. Yeah. Rambling wreck. Lost them in a shootout. Couldn't be us. Our defense is too good. Mm-mm. Can't wait for that Commonwealth.

Cup. Are we going to go to Blacksburg? No. Well, that's interesting. I traveled with that team for about two decades and haven't seen a win in Blacksburg, so maybe... Maybe we go. Yeah. Let's go every other year.

I know a great spot to stay down there. You do? Yeah. Is it called Charlottesville and then driving two hours? I don't want to talk. You could really do it the right way if you went down to Roanoke and... We could run an Airbnb, which of course would be overrun by murderous rednecks. They're probably killing them.

Listen, I'm just joking. They're fucking cool people. They're just, they are cool. They build stuff. Yeah, it's not very smart. No, they're smart. See, you're the reason they hate. You're the reason people hate Virginia.

You are the poster child for why people hate Virginia. It's a badgerbite. All right. We're going to, we're going to go to Nicole our back now. Hot-od. There's a lot to talk about. A lot changed after about 4 p.m. Saturday when it came. to the college football playoff and some of maybe your favorite teams maybe one of america's

teams the tennessee volunteers uh got shellac down in athens a lot happened and nicole ourback is uh is joining us as usual to talk about everything college football Nicole what surprised you the most which big loss the way it happened whatever it is surprised you the most from uh saturday That's a tough question. So I think that Clemson probably surprised me the least, even though Notre Dame has a couple really, really bad losses on their resume. We've talked about this on the show. It just didn't feel like Clemson was in the same category as the other teams were talking about for the playoffs. I was pretty heated last week when Michigan was ranked behind them, just because I feel like if you played those two teams played each other, we would all put Michigan to win the game.

So I think that that was that was kind of a long time coming. Alabama has had issues as well and weaknesses that Bryce Young is kind of offset and like his miracle runs and extending of plays and some of these magical moments have really allowed them to win some games in the last couple of years, especially on the road that they probably shouldn't have won. So maybe not that one either. So I guess Tennessee because I did think that, you know, I think, We all come out of that game, understanding that Georgia is the new standard bearer for the sport of college football.

But I really did think that Tennessee would play better or really fully come back at some point. You really thought that that offense would figure something out against the defense. But it didn't. It didn't. Hennon Hooker was just beat up. I mean, they were just coming and coming and coming at him. And they really couldn't get anything going. So I think, like, the score ended up being fairly misleading because that was as much of a blowout as you could possibly have for, like,

27-13 game. Yeah, it's really sobering. It felt like this was Tennessee's year. It felt like they were like a team of destiny or something like that. And it's just a really sobering end to a fun run for them. If you're Georgia, or if you're playing Georgia, is there anything you can take now? If you're getting ready to play Georgia, if you're looking at it down the line where you say, okay, the Missouri game or somewhere along the way they showed some weakness that we can exploit, I feel like people thought they were a lot more beatable before this morning. And I just feel like now it's like,

more of the same. Like they really are the best team in the country probably. That's probably where I am too. It just feels like we thought the national championship picture was more open than it is. And I think until proven otherwise, it's just like Georgia and there's a gap. And then we look at the other contenders,

especially because like Ohio State didn't look very good. It hasn't really looked good in about three games from a complete team, complete offense standpoint. So I think that that's probably fair. I mean, that's probably where I am. I think there was some weirdness. The Missouri game, Kent State. Like some of these teams that have played Georgia

and we've kind of raised our eyebrows, but it just feels like any game where they're going to be up for someone and like a playoff game, SEC championship type game, there's really not much you're going to be able to do. You're not going to be able to catch them sleeping in anywhere yet. But we'll see. I mean, I still think, you know, there's definitely some ways where, like, we saw some stuff

out of the vertical fasting game that we haven't really seen because they were doing a lot of cool stuff with their tight end. So, you know, they seem to be growing as well. So I think even if you look at some weaknesses, maybe from early on the season, it may not carry over. But, I mean, clearly you're going to need a team that's really, really talented and really deep in a lot of spots because I think that's where you really see this, especially knowing how much they left to the NFL, just how deep they are.

I mean, how many blue chip players they have all over. Yeah, and that's always, that was a conversation, I feel like, with Bama for a long time. You know, and now that's, that's Georgia. And so I don't know if it's like a passing of the torch. But, you know, it is kind of, it's funky, like, because I couldn't imagine, as you alluded to, having a quarterback that helps you play above your, your, your potential as much as Bryce does, down in Tuscaloosa. I mean, he's got him out of trouble at different points.

and this is still like the final product. Like there's no long-term worry about Bama, like being a year-in, year-out, college football playoff program. Like, this is a hiccup for them, right? I mean, they're out, right? But this is a hiccup. I think so. We've seen Nick Saban evolve.

We've seen him modernized. We've seen him adapt multiple times throughout the course of his tenure. And like when the offense was kind of getting beat or stopped, out or needed to change, he brought in Lane Kiffin and he modernized his offense. And that's why Bryce Young works so well in it. So I think you've got to assume that. But, you know, again, he's had a lot of different staffing changes over the course of this dynasty. Maybe he looks there and fixes some things. But they were also, you know, not as talented at like wide out than we've seen in recent years. Like there's certain spots that I think they could probably beef up. But yeah,

I'm not, I'm not going to worry about Alabama. It's definitely not as much of like an existential crisis as I feel like the big picture is with Clemson the other team that we always see in the playoff that also lost on Saturday. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, lost two coordinators and didn't look great in a few spots this year. They look human. I mean, and they look human when they don't have some like transcendent quarterback. So yeah, like more of an existential crisis as you would put it, I would think at Clemson. So what does it look like now, like maybe one through six? for you. Okay.

So, well, here, let me put it back on you. Like, where, how far would you drop Tennessee for a reason? Oh, man. I don't know. Six. Seven? I don't think they're going to fall that far. Which I think it's going to, I think that's going to piss people off.

Yeah. Like, okay. I'm mad at Tennessee, man. I just wanted Georgia to lose. I wanted some new blood in this thing. And the way you put it, like, and if you asked a Georgia fan, like, they should have damn near got shut out. I mean, it wasn't like they put any sustained drives together or anything.

I saw a play where it was like third and 38 or it was like fourth and 28 late in that game and they got bailed out on a face mask. And I'm like, it's just raining. It's fourth in a mile. They look desperate. It's just not even close, you know, so. Yeah. I know. I wanted it to be a better game because you wanted to think that this is a team that was closing a gap.

Part of the problem now and this is where like Tennessee is going to fall, but not that. much because so you lost Alabama, you lost Clemson. Yeah, that's right. They're going to drop in the rankings. Ohio State hasn't looked, like I said, I don't think they look good in a few weeks. The run game is a problem. I would flip Michigan. I would go Georgia, Michigan to probably Ohio State 3.

And then I think I would put Tennessee 4. You could also make the case. Maybe the committee will that like, maybe the course correct on TCU because they're still undefeated. But I would go TCU. I just feel like the resume. I feel like the resume of like just winning like has to mean something. and not losing and and and and beating a lot of as we've put it like pretty good teams you know

as opposed to some of these teams of only have one or two quality wins but you know um Georgia they didn't need a bunch of high quality wins like the two tests they've had they've blown it out of the water I know well so that's where like Oregon will it was actually a really good Saturday for Oregon because a you saw another really good team just get blitz by Georgia and or Oregon has scored 40 or more points in every game since Oregon's looked really good. The committee said that, that they look like a different team. They've gotten better. So I think they'll benefit from this as well.

I might consider, I haven't been locked into making my CFP fixed yet, but I might consider putting Tennessee and Georgia or Tennessee and Oregon still ahead of TCU just, again, based on, like, wouldn't that Georgia loss happen to everyone? And, you know, Oregon goes and plays that. I know, I know. But if TCU beats Texas next week, I'll put them up there. It's fine. But I just think, I think, like, what we know of the committee for one week was that they

were holding it against TCU that they needed to come back in games. And what did they do against Texas Tech? Like, they were trailing. And they had to come back in the game. And they're really good at pulling away. They've been winning these games by double digits the last few weeks. But the committee doesn't care. So if I'm now thinking, okay, let me make a four that I think the committee will do,

I think they're going to put Tennessee at four. They're going to put Tennessee at four. Okay. I think it's possible, if not likely. And what way forward do they have? For Tennessee. Yeah. So they're going to need a little more help with some of this other stuff.

So the big picture positive news is that it looks like Alabama and Clemson are probably out of the playoff. And I tweeted about this. And I couched it because you never know. Clemson only has one loss. But it got like 11,000 likes. And I realized that everyone else has Alabama and Clemson fatigue. I felt that for a number of years. It's part of the reason that people wanted to expand the playoff early, right?

But just like that's a massive number in reaction to having them both lose on the same night. So I think you need, you want Clemson to lose again, probably, just to pull themselves totally out of the picture. You want the Big 12 to cannibalize itself. You want TCU to lose probably this weekend, but you want like a two lost champ out of there. Probably better off if Oregon comes out of the PAC 12 as the PAC 12 champ because you have the same, you've lost to the same team and you could say your loss was better. But you need like all of those multiple things. Maybe you want Michigan or Ohio State to lose en route to playing each other or that game

to be really lopsided when they meet because you kind of just need to, you need to have all of these other contenders that might play in a conference championship, might have all these other opportunities to boost the resumes, you need that to not work out. Because you just kind of need to be lurking there and you're not going to be in the SEC championship game. So you kind of just need help and you need Georgia to just look amazing because then you can say, well, that's our only loss. Other than that, we're very good against everybody else. So what's more likely one loss SEC or ACC or a two loss SEC team? It feels like a two loss as EC team.

I mean, we saw the rankings, right? Like, we saw that the committee put LSU in the top 10, and that was five spots higher than the AP. So I think they always kind of defer to that league. There's always a lot of respect for the teams at the top there. It just does not feel that way for the ACCC. Hunts was a surprise, but that's not going to carry over. If I were the, if I were in, and I'm just talking about me if I made these rankings up,

you know, the way my brain works, I would have TCU I don't know that they're a better team than Tennessee, but that's not what this has always been about. Yes. You know, so I would have TCU. I would have Michigan, Ohio State, and I would have Georgia. And then I probably, I was a little harsh on Tennessee. I'd probably have Tennessee five. That's very reason.

They can do that. They could do that because they could say the same thing they did about Clemson and say, TCU's got X amount of top 20 wins. They're undefeated. We really like their offense. And the defense makes enough stops. They could say that. They could come out and say that, and you could justify that.

I would be totally fine with that. I like TCU. No question. I would give them another week. Maybe Texas, I'll put them in. I'm pulling for TCU. I'm doing whatever the hell we do. Wait, are they, are they America's team this week now?

They might be in an America's team because we're going to have room. The Phillies lost and TCU as well, Slidman with Tennessee's loss. Wait, wait, I got one for like a 24-hour window. an American team. We're in the window right now. Hit me. Notre Dame. Notre Dame. Yeah, I mean, they are.

They really deserve at least a hard look by the America's team committee because they got rid of an evil. Same thing with LSU. Honestly, I might make America's teams LSU and freaking and these guys. Because honestly, it's all about getting rid of the fatigue. And you touched on it. And now Georgia's so damn good. I'm already fatigued with Georgia.

That's how good. It took me years to be tired of Bama. Like, Georgia might be even better. It's been like one year. Yeah, one year. And you're like, ah, I'm out. I'm out. Okay, well, we'll see what happens.

Does any of it really matter? Can any of these teams be Georgia? You know, like, give me, like, what would the line be if the second best team in the country, in your opinion, played Georgia on a neutral, at a neutral site, like next week? Hmm. What was the line in the Tennessee game? What did it end up? Nine and a half?

Did it? Did it climb up to nine and a half? Oh, maybe I was, maybe I was looking at like a live line. Man, I mean, 10? Is it 10? So you think it'd probably be a double-digit line, like let's say Michigan and Georgia plays. Okay, let's say it's Michigan. I mean, we saw those two teams playing the playoff last year.

Yeah, right? Like, you would still think that there's that type of a gap. I don't know, man. Until Michigan proves otherwise. We're right back where we started, Nicole. I know. Right back where we started. You're right.

You're right. You're absolutely right. Okay, well, there's more work that needs to be done here. We need some more teams to lose. Nicole, appreciate the time, and we'll catch you next week and see what other type of crazy shit happens. Okay, I will see you at the meeting of the America's team committee this week.
