Starting point is 00:00:30 If you smell What the When Wilson Is cooking There he is Mr. Yankee Mr. Yankee, how are you feeling, pal? How are we feeling today?
Starting point is 00:00:42 I'm feeling great I'll be honest I was pretty impressed You guys took the Giants yesterday So that was a tough pill to swallow But I'm feeling pretty good right now I'm in Regina I'm in Saskatchewan
Starting point is 00:00:51 Nice God's country Beautiful place The Giants God's country God's country Yeah that was a phenomenal pick i mean i'm not going to lie to you that was a world-class pick by hayes and bro last night yeah i got
Starting point is 00:01:05 to my cat yeah it was good pick and i guess john morrow the owner of the giants who has already issued a statement about uh dude it's such a lie though it's go do you want to are you going to read it or just the gist of it is the gist of it is you know coach dable understands and he wasn't trying to actually manipulate blah blah blah blah blah blah blah but dable was losing it on that doctor last night and where do you stand on this look and so there's i have two let's call two different opinions on it as a fan it's funny okay it is funny to see him like russ throws the incompletion he's sitting there giving the hurry up hurry up like it is there is that it's funny like i got to be honest as an ex player it's disgusting you know where it's like listen
Starting point is 00:01:57 This guy is in the medical tent because he had, first time he took a million hits, but it was concussion protocol and they slowed it down. Look at the sky climbing in the boat. It's right in the tent. Dude, I've never said, sticking his head in there. It's like a window. And it's just like, dude, you can't be yelling at, this isn't a, this isn't a coach on your team, this isn't a player, you don't get to yell at the team physician because he's following protocol on what.
Starting point is 00:02:27 whether or not a guy is concussed and his brain is in trouble. You know, you don't get to go into the blue tent and be like, what's the situation? That's, like, I would guess that immediately when that happened, you know, the NFLPA probably reached out to the powers that be. But, like, it's going to be a, he's going to get fine to some degree. It'll there be a memo sent to everybody. It's like wildly, wildly inappropriate. Yeah, I thought his party. But it's wildly appropriate.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Do you not think he's going to get... I thought he was going to get in big trouble for that, man. I've never seen anything like that. He should. Like Hayes was talking about, that's the respected doctor and a coach is yelling at him to get a player out of the tent. That is insane stuff.
Starting point is 00:03:14 And like he's... I saw his post-game pressers. He's like, you know, I'm an emotional guy. I'm like, that's not... What are you? A kid? Are you a petul and child? Right. Like, we're all emotional. We don't scream at the teens.
Starting point is 00:03:25 physician to get somebody on the field. And by the way, like, if it was like a lightly sprained ankle and you're like, listen to, like, we got to know what's the deal, it'd be a lot different than, you know, the current state of head injuries in the NFL. I'm like, you can't be
Starting point is 00:03:41 this stupid on the sideline. And to me, it kind of goes to the point here that like, I think Jackson Dard is, this isn't like a crazy thing, but Jackson Dard is basically Brian Dable's only hope of not getting fired. If he plays like did last night, you know, the rest of the year,
Starting point is 00:03:58 Davel's probably got a shot. You can just tell the guys like he's an emotional, I mean, again, I don't even know what else to say. I thought it was brutal. Well, he's so desperate. Isn't he, isn't it just the personification of desperation, man?
Starting point is 00:04:15 Like, he is basically grabbing dart by the leg and trying to drag him onto the field. Like, that's effectively what he was doing. Bingo Hayes, again, it was funny from like you go on Twitter and you see all this stuff and it's funny in that sense. But when you really peel back the layers of this onion, it's like it's pretty gross to think that he would act in that behavior.
Starting point is 00:04:40 So just for clarification, I ask the guys, I'm going to ask you, the Giants aren't for real or anything like that, right? No. You know, is it more just about Philadelphia laying an egg? uh combo i mean i thought i thought new york played very well you know and i thought jackson dart played incredibly well uh i didn't realize you know coming in how much many electric scrambler he would be and obviously knew he was mobile but he does a really good job of one taking off but also two kind of extending plays uh but the some of the issue here is when you you look at this like
Starting point is 00:05:17 the thursday game plays into it and quite honestly noodles i was like jaylon carter being her plays into it, but I was appalled by the effort that the Philadelphia Eagles were giving on some of the defensive plays. And when I say appalled, I'm just like, like it was gross for me to watch at times. I'm like, this is a team playing, granted a short week, but a divisional opponent that is, you've got to think Philadelphia is thinking Super Bowl again, back to back, go to that rare air, that's at least their hopes and dreams. And there are a few plays that suck out where I'm like, and they're banged up, but you saw the effort just horrible. And if you're coaching effort generally in the NFL, that's something you have to coach.
Starting point is 00:06:02 There's a lot of problems in that locker room. Let's put it that way. Great. Oh, yes. Start spreading the new ones. Wow, what a peck, man. What a pick. New York needed you out, brother.
Starting point is 00:06:21 Like the Yankees are junk They needed us They needed us They needed us They needed us The Yankees needed Jazz Chisham to turn two On a routine double play
Starting point is 00:06:31 Okay my head's still very It's going to explode over that And he bungled it Just like you've been bungling your picks lately You and the Yankees Same thing That hurts man That cuts deep
Starting point is 00:06:41 That cuts deep The Yankees need Anthony Volpe Not to have a strikeout ratio It's shortstop That's just ungodly That's the Yankees name.
Starting point is 00:06:52 Don't get me fire out. He's lose. Eagles lose. The Owen Wilson lose. Right? Owens' brother. What a pick last night. Yes.
Starting point is 00:07:01 What a pick, man. Hey, Cam Scadabot. I told you guys. Came out last night. He was a dog. You did? I don't know. He finished, what,
Starting point is 00:07:08 98 yards rushing. How did not get him out there for one more rush just to get him over 100? It's David. It's David. He doesn't know what he's doing. It's funny.
Starting point is 00:07:18 He's willing to get, he's willing to get dart out there out of the conco. Caution 10, but won't get scataboo two extra yards. What are we doing? What are we doing, Dave? No awareness whatsoever. But, yeah, I was brother, man.
Starting point is 00:07:30 That tremendous information yesterday, that had, there are people all around the world buzzing about that pick last night. And I'm proud of you. I'm proud of us. That's what I'm going to say. All around the world, dude. You're telling me that he talked you into it. You weren't going to do it, Hayes?
Starting point is 00:07:44 I was really on the fence and kind of leading eagles, and then Al's brother came through with the win rates. comes out and Jonas is like they lost the Saints last week. I thought you were going to flip on me, Hazy Bee. I thought you were about to flip on me. I never could. We stuck to the process. And it came through. That's right.
Starting point is 00:08:02 You're right. So we're plus two, man. The dynasty rolls on. And what a scene we have this weekend because we have so many games, Alice. We might be close to plus double digits by Monday night. Like, what a Thanksgiving this is going to be for the crew. The Jets
Starting point is 00:08:18 are in London. again and the Broncos are over there. The Broncos are laying seven. Owen Wilson on the clock to start football on Sunday morning. Parts lay out towards me. I don't know. You make the call, but
Starting point is 00:08:34 I kind of think it's a lay out. Denver all day. We're Denver all day. There's no way with Denver's defense right now, there's no way we can bet on. And also the Jets, how they're playing and everything's going on. There's just if we don't cover the spread, Parts, it's a good pick either way.
Starting point is 00:08:51 There's just no way I can... I can be your partner and say, I got an idea. Let's tape the New York Jets. Parts, we can make the selection based on just Twitter. Just on Twitter, the tweets that are coming out. This Jets team has quit, and they just don't care. Like, when those are starting to come out...
Starting point is 00:09:07 Totally. We don't even hesitate. We don't even hesitate. Well, half the fan base wants them to stay in London. Like, if they lose the game, just stay there. Like, don't even return. to New York. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:09:21 I think that's probably the play. Like you said, even if there's a miraculous backdoor cover somehow, you just, you can't sleep at night being on the Jets. We just did it. We could tell you from experience. You can't. You cannot do it. It wasn't a fun watch.
Starting point is 00:09:35 It was not fun. I don't understand the Jets, like, they're so, like, bad. Zero takeaways in only three sacks. We're through five weeks of the season, and you haven't forced a single fumble, not a single pick and you've only sacked the quarterback three times? Like, how do you even, like, sit there as the D.C. and say, yeah, I feel
Starting point is 00:09:56 all right. We'll be okay against Denver, who just went in and beat the Eagles, who played some pretty good football. Like, this could be a blowout, realistically. It seems impossible to believe that stat you just laid out, but it's true. And Aaron Glenn's a defensive head coach. It's crazy. All right. Seahawks
Starting point is 00:10:12 Jags. This one is a doogie special, but we expect it. We want it. We want challenges. Seahawks laying points one and a half at the Jags. I was brother. Where's your head out? Yeah, it's flipped too because I think at the beginning of the week the Jags were favored in this one. So it's
Starting point is 00:10:28 flipped over to the Seahawks and I kind of like that. I kind of like that it's flipped because that lets us take the Jags and get some points on the side because this is going to be a real tight one. I think it's basically almost a pick-em. So if I can get the home team with some points, I kind of like it.
Starting point is 00:10:44 I'll tell you what, Seattle, they couldn't get much pressure on Baker last week and he sat back and through and made what 38 points I think without Bucky Irving without Mike Evans so I think Jacksonville what they've shown over the last couple of weeks is they're for real and I think they can really put a
Starting point is 00:11:00 stamp on things this season if they can go in and beat Seattle at home so I like them I like the Jags I think I'm on Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars to cover the number at home okay yeah listen party if Denver covers
Starting point is 00:11:16 were even if Denver covers and this is Dugge's gave these guys a lay-up of the year And they went through all these guys One of if not the longest It's a two blind mice This is like as long of a trip as you can get Darnold on the East Coast man He's going to get New York jet flashbacks
Starting point is 00:11:32 It's going to get ugly for him Oh he's guaranteed to throw a pick 100% Jaguars lead the NFL and takeaways That's right They literally lead NFL Darnold guaranteed Seeing Ghosts, couple picks
Starting point is 00:11:43 Maybe a fumble Ghost will be very very very evident in this game. And you're right, that Jags kind of no-name defense is flying, man, turnover balls everywhere. And they're coming off a long week. They've got a long week here, man. They're good. They're ready to rock. They're ready to play. At home, they just came off
Starting point is 00:12:02 that Kansas City win on the Monday night. Listen, I'm worried a little bit about that, the fact that it's a bit of a letdown because you just had the biggest win maybe in franchise history in the regular season. But I'm on the Jags with it, but I'll take the points at home. Trevor Lawrence. Let's do it. Let's take it. Jags at We're taking the points. All right, Niners' Bucks.
Starting point is 00:12:21 Niners at Bucks. You guys are on the clock. Bucks laying three at home. This is a layup. Dugie, just trying to keep you guys in the race. Party, don't listen to these guys. I'll be honest, Parchie. I had a tough time with this one.
Starting point is 00:12:35 Yeah, I would too. I am, unless you're the other way here, I am leaning Bucks, partially because of a man named Vita Vaya. I think he'll control the run game. Right now, Mac Jones is going to play. but he's limited in practice. He's a little banged up. Purdy still hasn't practiced yet. It looks like Jennings is going to be back, but Pearsall isn't? We don't know. Like, there's a lot of we don't know us here. I just, you know, you got to respect Sam Fran.
Starting point is 00:13:05 They found ways to win games. You know, they beat the Jags a couple weeks ago, beat the Rams. So I do worry about that, but in the same sense, like, Baker's on fire right now. I think we've got to ride the hot hand. I think we've got to ride this hot hand party. I'm willing to go the other way if you want it. No, I like the Baker hot hand parts. Yeah. Ride the wave. Duggy handing over winners.
Starting point is 00:13:27 This is Bucks. I don't think it's a layup. I don't know. Bucks are really good, man. Bucks are good. Bob Sala. So are the Niners. They're two-depleted, man.
Starting point is 00:13:40 They're two-de-de-de-lead. So are the bucks. I mean, you look at the injure report. Mike Evans is out. Chris Gondon is out. Bucky Irvin is out. third tower offense is going to be out you got literally you only are going to have the quarterback who's special baker's had a great year might be your leading MVP but i mean he's got
Starting point is 00:13:56 against your own partner and against us it doesn't say for a pick so it doesn't matter i misspoke excuse me i misspoke the only lost niners have is against the jaggs am i correct in that yeah i think they're four and one yeah that was a greasy yeah so it's like they beat everybody they beat the seahawks you know it was they made to play late like the nires are good football team they're veterans they know how to win they're well coached I'm going with the box, but I don't love it, Parchie. I'll be honest, I don't love it. All right.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Brother, I'm good with the points, sir, then. I kind of like beat on the Niners, man. That's a beaten, battered down to Tampa. All right. You know how I stand on Baker, man. I just feel like Baker is going to find a way to win that game. But, all right, Lions, Chiefs. That's true.
Starting point is 00:14:36 They can win by two. Very possible. Here's a tough one, boys. This is real tough, man. Like, the Chiefs are as desperate as it gets in football right now. They're two and three. and the Lions, four and one, they've been playing great, man. To their credit, they have played, outside of that Packer game opening week,
Starting point is 00:14:52 they have beaten up teams. Like, take it on a fight and said, let's go, and they win that fight every single week. Chiefsland two and a half at home. Now's brother, the floor is yours. I kind of need some input on your gut instinct on this one. I do need a little bit of gut instinct here before I weigh in with my information that I got.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Where is your head at party? My gut instinct tells me. me the lions are better he can't make the big pick no he said listen we made it last night we made it last night we made it last night pick of the century last night taking the giants on a Thursday night this is the big one this is a big this let's hear just make the pick guys i want to hear chiefs it half to win it's like we've said that a few times already this year literally must win you go to two four two and four i think you're done the broncos are going to beat the jets i think the chargers are in a good spot like you're basically you lose this game if you're the chiefs you're hoping to backdoor
Starting point is 00:15:47 wild cards you have to win and the lions man they've been good though lately like that's the thing i think the lions are going to win the line of scrimmage which scares me a little bit but it just feels like a game the chiefs have got to find a way to win under the lights arrowhead i lean kansas city with the gut lean yeah it feels like this is one where mahomes just has to go Superman. And if there's one guy in the league who's been capable of doing that time and time again, it is Patrick Mahomes. So, you know, you get him by less than a field goal at home. Here's another thing, too, you just know Dan Campbell will be so eager to beat Andy Reid and the Chiefs. He's going to make some sort of stupid aggressive play call. It's going to cost Troy points.
Starting point is 00:16:30 I just know it. You know it. And Andy Reid and this team, they will not. They played super sloppy last week. I think he'll demand more of this team. I think we can. I think we can go with the Chiefs. I can roll with that one. Chiefs, less than a field goal at home, under the lights. Let's take them. Okay. Lock it in. Marks, I'll be honest, see, I'll never come on here and lie. I'll never come on here and lie
Starting point is 00:16:51 like Al's brother just did. He wants no part of this pick. He just sat there and didn't want to go against the captain over there. Hey, he's a tough. He's a tough. It's a tough game. Campbell wants to beat Andy Reid more so than anyone else. What it? I mean, he... Dude,
Starting point is 00:17:09 Dan Campbell will be in the medical tent on Sunday night. He'll be in the medical tent. I'm thrilled. I'm thrilled. I'm thrilled. I wouldn't mind being on the Lions either. I'll be honest. This is like a 51-49 pick. This is a tough, tough pick. But that's what we get.
Starting point is 00:17:24 Dughey's lined up the whole season. Trying to take down a dynasty. That's what he's done. We're Kevin Durant's a Phillies. Detroit's missing. They're two starting corners. They're missing a safety. I mean, Mahomes should be able to pick apart that secondary and put points on the board.
Starting point is 00:17:38 Has to. Has to. All right, boys. Picks are locked, man. This could be a beat down by Sunday night with two Monday nighters. Like this could be the Immaculate Week of Immaculate Weeks, that's brother. And the only way it could start is with a win last night.
Starting point is 00:17:55 What a pick, man. Giants Money Line. Forget the points. We'll take the chance on the money line last night. All right, boys. Have yourselves a great Thanksgiving. We'll chat next week. Turkey and dubs all weekend.
