Hey, let's go. Welcome to part of my take and let us know what you owe for your degenerate sports. We start in Indianapolis where the Bill's gray hair Derrick Anderson Cooper insisted

his three interceptions were fake news and advocated heavily for more freedom of the press coverage. TY Paris Hilton was caught on tape taking shots to his chest while laying on his back in the end zone. The Bill's running game stalled as they're desperately missed the leadership of Nicole Ritchie and Cognito. That's so hot. That's so hot.

Amish Andrew Luck keeps living the simple life and winning football games. Colts 37, Bill's 5. Across the pond in foggy London town where King Derrick Henry VIII matched up against Philip the River's Tames in a global affair, Mike Williams Wallace stood 10 feet tall and blew fireballs out of his arse and he and his army of superchargers took down England. They say your best ability is your variability and the Titans lost at the goal line going for two. Maybe time for Tennessee to call up Mike Pence for some conversion therapy.

Chargers 20, Titans 19. Some spray. Fumble. In the windy city we go where the NFL's best running quarterback Mitchell Michael Trovitsky had Bears fans hammering the dog at plus two but my personal friend Tom Terrific who was in the stands when a young Schwam called the catch in San Francisco. You might remember that to age said luck be a Brady tonight. Trovitsky had two interceptions in this game but two wrongs don't make a white Kevin that

is and his last second gasp to win the game fell short at the goal line. Patriots survived even without Rob Gunkowski who was kept out of the game after suffering a twerking injury and every dance club in Boston is wishing Rob a speedy recovery for his wildlife imagine. Patriots 38, Bears 31. Tech Tech Tech Next stop. The city of brotherly love where Eric Terreere went wild on Julie Earz's husband, the Eagles fought hard with a defense offense combo of long cocks and small wood

but Carolina had nine lives on Sunday and in a touching tribute to Kim Kardashian the That's went down early and then came from behind. I hope you hit up that PayPal because my free Cam Newton put on a show for the boys. Factors 21, Eagle 17. What? Pfft, that's a great video, Swam. Dharal John Maryland.

Everyone stinks in the NFC yeast infection, but that's why they play the game, Teege. Sean Tommy Lee tried to steer the ship with his big rod, Maranelli. But Adrian Peterson took out his switch and beat that D all afternoon long. On the other side of the ball, Ryan Pamela Anderson was really good in the sack

and the Redskins defense forced Ezekiel Elliott Spitzer to resign, sir, resign, sir, resign, sir, resign. The game came down to the final kick, but as often the case, Brett Bill Maher was too far left. Our words, 20, Cowboy 17. Pfft, he's matriculating the ball down the field. Down in Duval where the Jaguars were poised for a second half comeback after Blake Bortles led them

with zero interceptions in the first half until Cody Kessler, the worst quarterback of all time, lost the game for Jacksonville. There are no jokes to be had in this game as Jacksonville seems lost at sea without a boat. Texans 20, Cody Kessler seven. Next stop, the Meadowlands, where the NFC Norse leading Minnesota Vikings

take on the Jacks and Kirk Cousins as a Cowboy. On a field horse he rides in Sam Darnold. Sam Darnold, complete a drive. The lights went out on Broadway Sam as he threw three more interceptions than Blake Bortles did. And the Jets are looking at a mess this Monday morning in their Todd Toilet bowls.

Vikings 37, Jets 17. Whoop, whoop! Standing on the corner of James Winston, Tampa, Florida, such a fine sight to see. Is it Todd, my lord, in the stolen fort? And he's about to lose his job as OC. Come on Haley, your offense is failing. Just let you be you and it will be through sailing.

Tampa Bay 26, Cleveland Browns 23. And Baltimore, home of Omar and the Wire. Drew Brees hit up the bubbles screen all day, shooting up the Ravens defense. The only IV drugs the Ravens were using were the Roman numerals at the end of Willie Snead's name plate. We now go live to Justin Tucker's thoughts

after the crucial mixed extra point. Shot Peyton improved 10-1 in his last 11 off the by making it a mortal Jason Whitlock. State 24, Ravens 23. Last but certainly not least, Sunday Night Football. We're showtime Mahomes. Crush the Cincinnati Bengals, and we have him live in studio for his post-game comments showtime. It's time to circle our wagons, we have the Benching of the Boats, people are expecting

us to address it at the top of the show, Cody Kessler came in, and let me just say this, Cody Kessler, that guy stinks, throwing the ball over the place, fumbling, he recovered his fumble, but still, interceptions, I get it, you gotta maybe sit down the boat for a minute, the engine needs a little tune up, but good news, the next game for the Jaguars is in London, and Blake Bortles owns London, 3-0 all time in England. Back in the day, there was only one way to get to London, and that was on a boat. So, historically, boats have great track records going between England and the United States.

Do you see their building to the Titanic too? We'll get to that. Dude, I mean, it would be so fucking awesome. I know you're not supposed to root for death and all that, but if the Titanic 2 could somehow sink, it would be the greatest moment ever. You're an asshole for riding on the Titanic too. I hope they right got himself could not sink the ship on the bottom of this one too. Are they gonna sail the same route?

I hope so. They should. Probably not as many icebergs. Probably. Well, yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, so it's probably smooth sailing now. So global warming, actually good. It would have saved like 2,000 people if they'd all been burning styrofoam at the start of

the century. All these rich people. All right, so we have the boat, listen, we know, we hear it, we are on Twitter, I'd say 50% of the time to talk about football and then 50% of the time to defend Blake Bortles. So we hear it. It's fine. Guess what?

A little minor comeback for a major, minor setback for a major comeback. Yeah. Yeah. No, no. Kessler did it. Kessler did the shit out of it. Everyone's saying that. Yeah.

It's actually the new phrase. Like, oh shit, I stubbed my toe. I've really Kessler that one. Kessled myself up big time. Yeah. I pooped my pants. I Kessled it. Yeah.

Kessled myself out of Cody Kessler to know that he's not the answer. Gross. He's really bad. Gross PFT. He's gross. Really bad. He's very gross. They should actually only be allowed to play him after midnight on HBO because it is,

it's bad. Yeah. It's not safe for kids to review. Yeah. It's gross. It's the shit that like you parent, you parent lock your YouTube so that people can't watch Cody Kessler highlight. Here's the deal.

Blake, you know, sometimes you gotta, you gotta sit him down and he needs some time to collect his thoughts. I'm fine. When he starts overthinking things and that's when it's time to put him on the sidelines. But he responds to adversity. Yes. You'll remember last preseason. Yes.

Chad Hennie, a great, a much better quarterback than Cody Kessler tried to take Bortle's job for him. Well, that bar is low. But yeah. Yeah. But I'm saying much better. We're better quarterbacks than Cody Kessler. Yeah.

Pat Mahomes throwing with his left foot is better than Cody Kessler. Yeah. But we're fine. Blake Bortle's gonna be fine, everyone. All the haters, get your hate in. That's fine. This is when we, this is when we take out a little notepad and we take names down for those that did not believe in Blake Bortle's.

Yeah. We're gonna create a Wikipedia page of noted Blake Bortle's haters. Yes. And losers. Yeah. Of which there are many. Of which there are many. The other stories, let's whip around the league.

Hugh Jackson has decided that the problem with the Browns has nothing to do with Hugh Jackson and everything to do with the offensive play calling. So he's going to wrestle away, literally has to wrestle away from Todd Haley. Hugh Jackson also doesn't remember that he was the one calling the plays in 2016 and 17. And 17. Yes. That was on him.

Hugh Jackson is the ultimate. Let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a question. Say what you want about Hugh. Okay. All right. But he knows how to keep a job. Okay.

That's true. So like this is actually a good step for his career that he's making. Maybe he'll last another like two weeks. Okay. That's fair. You are right. He has staying power. Yes.

But what? He's like herpes. What is Hugh Jackson's redeeming quality? Because from where I'm sitting, he's objectively a very bad football coach, okay? And on top of that, he just blames everyone else when shit goes wrong. His redeeming quality is that he's the only person in the world that has Hugh Jackson's body type. He's a little unique snowflake.

He's like an amorphous blob that kind of fills out whatever space he's in. I think he's a very nice guy. Yes. He seems like a very nice person and a good guy and like someone that you're like, okay, that's a good guy. You can't say bad things about him specifically. But in terms of being the head coach, having shit go wrong and then immediately saying, well, I'm going to have to take over play calling because you want to essentially, maybe

that's why he hired Todd Haley. Because he's like, you know what? I know that I can just throw him under the bus and no one's going to take Todd Haley's side in an argument. Yes. He's a very convenient fall guy to have. Yeah. Like sometimes literally a fall guy.

Yes. He's trying to walk outside of the bar. Right. Absolutely. But yeah, Hugh, his redeeming quality is he's very good at coaching for ties. I don't know if he does it intentionally. Maybe he's a genius, but it's like every game is like a puzzle for him to try to figure out how he can tie it.

Yes. So he's like the George Washington Carver of figuring out how to use ties in different ways. He's Zach Galvanikis, verbal memes. Zach Galvanikis looking at the board with numbers going everywhere and except it's just all the numbers are ties. Yes. I think, okay.

So, you know, we've discussed this ever since week one of hard knocks, knowing that there was going to be like some Shakespearean battle going on between Greg Williams, Todd Haley and Hugh Jackson to control the Cleveland Browns, which saying that out loud is actually pretty funny. It's also very accurate. But there, yes, there is a dark horse candidate that I think America can all get behind. And that is Bob Wiley. Yeah.

If there's ever a coach that can go with his gut, that you should trust his gut, it's Bob Wiley. Then people are going to start saying Bob Wiley isn't presidential looking. Well, I don't care. He's got to lose some weight. You know what? He's Cleveland looking. No, he is.

I don't think he has to lose anyway. I love Bob Wiley just the way he is. I want him to get bigger. Yes. I would too. I was seconds, inches away from maybe the greatest moment of all time, Kevin White getting stuck at the goal line on a last second Hail Mary. Now, the Patriots, Bears, Hank, chime in whenever you want.

I told you guys this while it was happening. I was less mad that the Bears were losing the Patriots because when the season schedule came out, I was like, yeah, we'll probably lose the Patriots. I was just more sitting, watching that game, being like, how the fuck did we lose to Brock Osweiler? That loss is going to stick with me forever. But yeah, the Bears have some defensive things to work out. Let's just say that.

Underneath passes work pretty well. So you guys have lost to Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and Brock Osweiler. Brock Osweiler. Okay. One of these things is not like the other. No, it's a three-headed monster. Yeah. So three and three.

Mitch is the best running quarterback in the league. He is pretty, yeah. Thick Trisp. Thick Biscay. Thick Trisky. Trisky. Trisky. Thick.

Thick Trisky. And Khalil McNeese get healthy and Leonard Floyd needs to just like, hey man, you're first round draft pick. Start acting like it. Yeah. I mean, so the Patriots are obviously very, very good. I thought that, I think they're very beatable though without Gronk. Well, their defense is beatable, but they still have so many weapons.

They have like so many guys that, they're kind of always like this. Right. And every single play was the same. It was basically Tom Brady had time and then there was a guy running underneath who could catch the ball and make a play and it was that all afternoon. And then every now and then they'd throw it over, over the top to Josh Gordon and kill you. Sometimes you forget just how angry Julian Edelman is all the time when he's on the

field. Shout out Jules. Yeah. Shout out Jules. That's a guy that you would absolutely hate to play against, but you probably love if he's on your team. Oh yeah. Because like, he's just like a little Tasmanian devil.

Oh yeah. He's just a taxor. He's like Matt. I don't know what it is. You put him on a football field and he's like just like throwing red meat in front of a dog. He attacks yards. Yes.

He is violent towards yards. No, he loves to take yards, but he hates the idea of losing yards. No, he hates, he attacks yards because he like hates land that he doesn't have yet. Mm-hmm. That's true. He likes having yards. Yes. But he wants more yards.

Yes. He hates not having enough yards. I'm happy we figured out this yard situation with Julian Edelman. The Eagles lost in a head scratcher. They were up 17-nothing at home against the Panthers. They lost 21-17 and Doug Peterson after the game said, the pressure is off. Oh, okay. Because they won the Super Bowl.

The pressure is off, which I feel like that's basically like when we tell people, hey, subscription service is coming. Don't freak out. Mm-hmm. Like you're probably going to freak out. Yeah. The pressure is off. The pressure is very much on.

When you say the pressure is off, you're admitting there's a lot of pressure. Yeah. Offensively, they're offensive to me to watch. Yes. A lot of people are asking, is it time for Nick Foles to come back? No one's saying that. I've heard many people say. No one is saying that.

They're just like, I don't know what it is. They're a boring team offensively. They don't have any of the creativity they had last year. I think, I don't know, Doug Peterson, he did the Philly special. They're all the memes of him carrying his balls around in a wheelbarrow. Mm-hmm. I think he read his own press clippings a little bit. He's like, you know what?

I got big balls. Mm-hmm. And I'm just a big ball guy and I don't have to prove anything anymore. I'm the big ball guy. Yeah. No, they are a quintessential Super Bowl hangover because every game, they're up 17, nothing. They're like, oh, we got this. And if you asked yourself, would you want to face the Philadelphia Eagles in a big game?

The answer is no. Mm-hmm. Right? Because if they get up for it, they still have all that talent. Yeah. Their defense is really good, too. Right. And they just, but it's these games that, you know, they think they've won and they

just lose them. And so it's weird. And Doug Peterson, yeah. They're saying the pressure's off. Maybe that was actually a smart move to put the pressure on him and not his players. Interesting. Because everyone's like, that's a stupid thing to say. Maybe Chris Long gave away too much of his salary and now he can't afford to go to a

gym anymore. He lost his membership and now he's got his shape. He retired. Yeah, that's right. And he's exclusively reported by Parliamentary. That's if he won the lottery, though, is what it was. Do you know what I would give if I won the lottery? What?

I'd buy the R-Words. Ooh. Can we take it? No way Dan Snyder would sell them. I would make it. Also, the lottery definitely doesn't have enough money. The R-Words are probably worth $2 billion. Okay.

I would just, here's what I would do. I'd take all the money and then hire a bunch of people to kidnap Dan Snyder. And then I would assume. And then you could buy, you could buy like the Cardinals. I don't want the Cardinals. We could fire Steve Wilkes. Ooh, yeah, that'd be fun. Yeah, that's a good first move.

You ready for a crazy stat to both prove how good the Rams are and how the Buffalo Bills are struggling now that Josh Allen's hurt? Yep. Todd Gurley has seven more points than the entire Buffalo Bills team. Oh my God. That's surprising. The Rams are just like, what do you do about the Rams? Listen, there's a Rams problem.

What happened this week was so disrespectful to Nathan Peterman. Yeah. Like how do you just, how do you put Derek Anderson in there and take and deprive me of the pleasure I get from watching Nathan Peterman throw pick six? I told you, P.F.D., I want to, I want to donate. This is my official donation of my brain when I passed to science to go back and try to figure out what compelled me to bet on Derek Anderson at 12.59 p.m. right before kickoff. I saw the plus eight and I said, Derek Anderson, he's won some games.

Yeah. He's ish. You know what it was? He was arrested. Yeah. And so they're very well rested. Very well rested. His arm is fine.

But that was an all time dumb decision. I don't, I can't, it's one of those things like when you were a kid, when your, when your parents like, why'd you do this? And you just sat, stand there like, I have no idea. I'm a kid. I'm 33 and people, someone could come on and be like, hey, why'd you bet on Derek Anderson? I have no idea.

Right. I just did. And it was a really stupid thing to do. I don't know what it is about. It's like the Bucks and the Bills and there are a couple other teams in there that have just like seemingly a never ending supply of Jake Delohms. Yes. That are 43 years old and come in and just throw interceptions.

Can't move. Can't move. Can throw like eight yards downfield and most of them are interceptions. Yeah. I was just, you know, I'm upset. I want Josh Allen to get back. But if I'm not going to have Josh Allen, I at least need Peterman. The thing about Peterman, he, when he throws interceptions, they get returned for touchdowns.

You get the ball right back. True. You get to get back on the horse. True. When Derek Anderson does it, they get tackled. And it's just, it sucks because then your defense gets winded. It's a flaw in his system. We also have, let's see, how about the Ravens Saints game?

Yes. That was great. That was great. We both bet on the, well, I convinced big cat to bet on the Ravens, which would have been great if Justin Tucker hadn't missed an extra point. So I was thinking about this. Like Justin Tucker, I think is the only kicker in all of the NFL where you can't actually blame him.

And I know that sounds crazy because he missed an extra point that he hits. He literally has never missed one. But he has also won the Ravens, some ridiculous games where he's hitting 55 yarders. So he's the one guy where it's like, you know what, you were due for one. And all in all, I think you're ahead still in your career. Yeah. He's fine. Well, I mean, Mike Vanderjack, you remember that?

Yeah. You missed that kick, he has the Steelers and then he got liquored up and forgot how to kick footballs. Yes. I hope that doesn't happen to Justin. Cause like he's actually, he's a fun kicker to watch. Opera singer. Oh, really?

Yeah. Rick Raleigh did a piece on him. I'm sure he did several. Billion times. Yeah. That he's then copied and pasted into a new article about Justin. Yeah. He, uh, Justin Tucker is the one kicker that I think would actually probably be worth

the first round pick. Oh, I don't know about that. He's really good. I, you know, you know what I love. Yeah. I mean, second, I'll give you a second. Here's what I love so much is the new technology that they have that tells you how far the kick would have been good from.

Yes. They need to use more of that. Yes. And Justin Tucker's are always like 77 yards. Yeah. It's insane. The Vikings are actual wagon. I'm going to talk real quick about Sean Payton because we mentioned how we don't like watching

Sean Payton when he's outside, but I've noticed he coaches very weirdly when he's on the road. It's like, um, if I don't know exactly how to describe it, but somebody who like when they're around friends, they show off like when they're with their parents, they like act differently around their friends to like show off to them or whatever. That's what Sean Payton does when he gets out of his house, when he gets out of the Superdome. Yeah.

He just stops punning. Yes. He forgets it. He takes some hill out there and taste some hill is like Tim Tebow, except he's better at everything. Tim Tebow does. Yes. He's a better pump protector.

He's a better passer. He's a better runner. He's better at not having sex because he's a full Mormon, right? He probably also has like, you know, he's probably a good teammate and doesn't try to convert. Well, no, he probably does convert. Yeah. Convert people.

We don't know. We don't know. We don't know. Tim Tebow still can, uh, give, uh, what, what's it called when you, when you cut the penis? Oh, uh, circumcised, circumcised little kids and that's the Philippines. That's very true. I don't know. I haven't seen taste some hill through that.

Well, we don't know. We don't know. We don't know where it went on his mission. You know what's funny about the Saints? It just proves how ridiculous the NFL is and how we overreact to everything because the Saints are five and one and they lost to the Bucks. Week one. They were dead.

And they, and they barely beat the Browns. Week two. Yep. And we all were like, holy shit, the Saints are in deep trouble. They're just five and one now and look like the second best team in the NFC, you know, behind the Rams. It's just funny how we overreact everything ourselves included. I'm the king of overreaction, but now it feels like, and we were talking about the Vikings,

it feels like everything is starting to take shape where the Vikings go to New York. They play the Jets and they're supposed to win that game and they kick the shit out. Yeah. The Adam Thielen is an absolute monster. Yeah. Um, yeah, I would say the Saints, the Panthers look pretty good too. Yep. The last couple of weeks.

Yep. And then yeah, the Rams are just shit pumping everybody. Yeah. And like teams, this is where we get to the part of the schedule where teams that should lose games like the Dolphins, they lost, teams that should lose games, lose games. It's comforting sometimes. Right. You're like, okay, I understand what's going on in this world.

We're starting to understand the landscape of the NFL, the 2018 NFL season, because the first month and a half has been absolutely wild. Yeah. It's just crazy. And then Larry, unfortunately, he pushed on his, on the Browns bet today that he had. So we made Larry do Saugui Soros, which is, he just swam in his tank more. Yeah. He swam.

He did Saugui Soros for everyone. Yes. He did all that stuff. Yeah. He did it all. That would have been nice for you though. If the Bears had won, huh? Yeah.

Kevin White. Yeah. Kevin White. Kevin White. Yeah. Basically, I'm, I'm, I have died on that hill, the Kevin White hill. I'm the only body there. It's actually just a hill in like the middle of nowhere.

And someone walks by and they're like, what's this old skeleton that's been, looks like he died five years ago. Yep. And there's only one of them. And then that's me. And then in the London game, I love these Sundays where you can start watching football like nine o'clock in the morning and you don't have to move at all. Yeah.

Mike Vrabel, I figured him out. He just hates ties. He thinks ties are worse than losses. Yes. And so he, I actually, I actually am okay with what he did. I am. I know that people were going after him because the Titans kind of dominated the second half. But if you, the problem, the, the reasoning that Mike Vrabel used was sound.

The issue is the execution of any Titans play on offense is terrible just because their offense is terrible. Right. So that's the part where it falls apart. And it was, it was a stupid play call too, I think. I didn't like the play call. They don't have good play calls. We had this conversation.

It's like, it's a stupid play call. Well, they, I think, I'm pretty sure the offensive playbook for the Titans is like dumb play call, even dumber play call, play call where Marcus Mariota doesn't have anyone to throw to because everyone's covered insanely well. Have you ever watched a Titans game? I don't, no receiver gets open ever. Yeah. And then Marcus Mariota has to basically run and get smashed every single play.

I would have just liked to see a tie in that game for the Phillip Rivers Bolo tie memes. Right. And also because, you know, England fans, they love ties. They do. That's their favorite. The result. Yeah. I also have a theory that I think it might be the cameras in Wembley, but play action

passes always seem to work better in England and they always, they always happen slower. I don't, I don't. Well, just circle that. Okay. It's the cameraman because they're, they're British probably. Yeah. And they're like, oh my, oh. Just circle it.

Just circle that. And you've looked for it. Yeah. Just look for it. Okay. And also the grass is longer. So yeah. I don't like that grass.

Yeah. All right. Let's move on to our football guys of the week. We have an awesome, awesome group of them before we do that. A quick word from our friends at Dollar Shave Club. So did you get your Dollar Shave Club stuff? PFT? I did.

First up, one of my favorite stories, storylines that happens with Alabama, because Alabama Nick Saban, he just demolishes teams. It's actually getting to the point where I would prefer if CBS would stop airing Alabama games because it's just a waste of a time slot. Like the, the first quarter was awesome though. The Alabama Tennessee game, there was a moment in the first quarter where it was 28 nothing and Tennessee had minus 22 yards and Alabama had 200. So Alabama beat Tennessee and as is tradition, when Alabama beats Tennessee, they smoke cigars

and Butch Jones, who is Nick Saban's intern, who is also getting paid $200,000 a month by Tennessee was in the locker room smoking the cigar. I've been, I've been not coaching the Tennessee volunteers for free like a sucker for the last 33 years of my life. Now good for him. Good for him. And he also got a Gatorade bath, which is hilarious as an intern. I bet Saban was pissed off about that.

Yeah. Well, no, I think Saban likes to, Saban loves to troll other people because he knows, I think Saban just knows that like Alabama will always be on top forever. Yeah. Until LSU beats it. He just sees it as a waste of resources though. Yeah. Like that Gatorade could have gone to fueling another super player for me.

True. True. All right. So next up, speaking of LSU, we're going to be there. LSU, Alabama, Death Valley. I can't wait. I really can't wait. But I can, can I just say that LSU, I think they're onto something by the way, because

it was a classic trap game. They beat Georgia at home, number two team in the country, then they got to play Mississippi State the next week. They bring out the helmets to change colors. You can't get trapped when you bring out like a New Jersey setup. Yeah. It was a mood ring. They were wearing mood ring helmets for like how, how angry they were at you and how badly

they were going to destroy your life. Right. So it's purple. That's what asked for Brizio Fredaccini told you on Friday. That's true. That is true. For Brizio Fredaccini also said that. LSU's helmet, when the helmet turns purple, that means you're about to whoop somebody's

ass. Go Tigers. All right. So, but yeah, LSU, they are a football guy factory. Yes. They've figured out a way to just, everything that they do is football guide on there. Every single thing. So the LSU strength coach before the game was caught headbutting all his players to the

point where he had a scar on his forehead going full on. That's also a way to avoid a trap game. Just start headbutting everyone and getting them pumped up. Yeah. It's going to shock you to realize this, but their strength coach was a stocky man who had a shaved head and a beard. Yes. I love it.

So didn't see that coming. I love it. You know he's Coach O's best friend. You know that. You know Coach O has like a, he, he hires his strength, strength coach. He's like first order of business. I want to be able to bench press 450 pounds by December. Yeah.

And he probably can. Yeah. He absolutely can. All right. Next up we have Tyler Trent. This was an awesome story from the weekend. So it's a Purdue student. He had to drop out of school because he is fighting cancer and he's been fighting

cancer. I think this is his fourth time doing it. And he was able to make it to the game. He's been like very, very sick, but he was able to make it to the game. Purdue has an unreal upset under the lights, West Lafayette, and then he gets to go into the locker room after and the team was like, this is for you. And it was just, it was why sports are cool. Yeah.

You know what I mean? It was great. And it was an awesome win. I loved seeing Ohio State get their asses kicked. Yes. And it was like, it was two completely different coaches. We have Urban Meyer and Jeff Brom. And Jeff Brom, if you know anything about this guy.

So do I have a heartbeat? Urban. Yes. Yes. I'm going to play this football. Yes. Urban Meyer fakes head injuries. Yes.

Jeff Brom fakes not having a head injury. Right. Correct. That's like polar opposites. So this was an awesome story. Tyler Trent, hope you're doing well. Hope you beat cancer again. You're going to beat cancer again.

Fuck cancer. And then the last one we have our good friend Bo Polini's brother, Carl Polini. He's back. Remember he? Of course. There was things, but he's back. And that was, that was like the yada, yada, yada sign for their things. Things happen.

He's an angry guy. He's got anger issues. And they were, there's drugs allegedly, whatever anyway. We love Bo. So we'll just leave it at that. He is the interim head coach of Bowling Green. If you remember, Bowling Green is the school that used their, their coaching hiring process was to Google the top assistant for Texas Tech.

And no, it was actually they Google, they Google the most points. Which school had the best offense last year in college football? And then they were like, okay, we need to hire somebody that's on that staff. Yes. So it didn't work out. So Bo, uh, Carl Polini is taking over for, uh, the fired coach and his first order of business is he took the, the names off of the back of everyone's jersey. So you're just playing for Bowling Green.

They did lose 49, 14, but that's irrelevant. You have to earn your name. Yes. I like that. You got to earn your name back. That's it. I think LSU did that this weekend too. Didn't they?

No names on the back. Uh, not sure. And then, and then UAB had, uh, names of the children, sick children on the back, right? Shout out to UAB. There, I also was searching, uh, beforehand to get, do some research for the show and someone wrote a story is Ohio big enough for two Polinis. What a question. Oh, that is a question.

What a question. What a question. I don't think, I don't know if it is. I don't think so. I don't think there's a state in the world that can handle two Polinis. I don't think so. We got to separate our Polinis. Uh, there, those two guys, if they, if they played against each other, if Youngstown played

against, uh, was it Bowling Green? Yes. I'm sure that there would be, they, they would forget that they were brothers. Yes. They would actually not recognize the face across the field. Yeah. Oh yeah. It would just be when a dog sees itself in the mirror and gets angry at it because it's

like this, I'm intimidated a little bit because it looks like me. That's what would be going on. We got to get Bo back on. Yes. I fucking love Bo. He's the ultimate football guy. Just like, I imagine Bo Polini just sleeping with like a scowl on his face. He's just, he's, he's, he needs, he needs another shot at a big time school.

He'll get one. He needs one. We, we should start that Ohio state. Okay. So let's go to our who's back because that's a good segue. I'll start Ohio, uh, who's back, Urban Meyers, sad faces on the sideline because Ohio state lost the game that they should have won. They were minus 12.

They went to West Lafayette. If you remember, they would lost in Iowa last year and people are saying, not me. People are saying urban Meyer, can he get his team ready for the inferior opponents? I don't know. I'm not saying, but this is now becoming a trend for urban Meyer and I've been, people like, oh, you're, you're just hating on Ohio state. Look, Ohio state's program, they, they, they're a football factory. Let me jump in.

They beat, they beat Wisconsin all the time. Like I'm not, this isn't a place where I'm like, oh man, we're on the same level, but urban Meyer is losing these games. When you're talking about a big college like this, you need to change your pronunciation. It's a program. It's a program. It's a program. And he has, he has a big program on his hands and it's rolling except for when they have

to play that like weird opponent away from Columbus in the middle of October. Cause I think it was exactly, I think it was actually next weekend, last year that they lost to Iowa and got the shit kicked out of him. And this was a shit kicking, by the way. This wasn't like Purdue plucky underdog beats them with a fluke play. They put it on Ohio state. I'm going to withhold judgment. I think that all of us probably owe it to urban Meyer to wait until Tuesday when he

puts out a statement explaining why it wasn't his fault that they lost this game. And then we should still withhold judgment until Thursday when he issues a statement clarifying his previous status as to why they lost. But I just love watching his face on the sideline when, when he can't believe that they're actually losing. Kirk Herb Street, did you hear he just could not say the word urban Meyer has done a bad job coaching this game? He couldn't say it.

Now me as an unbiased journalist, I would never cape for one of my guys who might be going through some time and get benched for Cody Kessler. No, this is what our job is. We call it like we see it and shame on Kirk Herb Street. You should, you should be better, sir. Absolutely. You should whip yourself on the back, walk through town ringing your bell and just shame yourself, Kirk.

Do the right thing. My other who's back was just England fans. I love England football fans. It's every single time they show it. It's like, it's basically the football is family commercials that Roger Gardell has wet dream where it's just you look in, you look in the, in the crowds and there are 40 different jerseys and throwbacks and all different teams and then a couple guys dressed up in lightning bolts and, and dolphin masks and weird shit.

Yeah. And they're all like weird players of weird teams. It's like three guys wearing a lot of kickers. Yeah. Three guys wearing Keith Bullock jerseys. Yes. They got like a Vinnie Testa Verde, a New York Jets jersey out there. And then the best by far are the Jaguars fans that get dressed up like they're going to

a circus. Yes. Like they're, they're kitty cats in a circus. I love those guys. I do too. I love them. So that's my who's back. What do you got?

Hank. My who's back is Boban. Yes. Oh yeah. His clips of him playing are, are, I mean, I remember people talking about him last year, but this year it's like surreal. He's not of this world. It's like he's playing on a seven foot hoop.

Yes. Have we looked into it? Is that he's a human? Yeah. He's a human. I think he's just, I just looked into it. He's human. I think he's like the next, the next missing link.

Got it. He's super, he's hyper evolved. He is awesome to watch when he dunks without leaving the ground. It's incredible. Yeah. He, yeah. It's like, uh, when a, when a cat gets up onto like a really high surface and it's like, how'd I get up here and just like looking around, Boban standing on the ground

holding the room and he's just like looking around. Is this legal? Am I allowed to do this? Yes. Yes. Yeah. It's like when you're playing like, like a family dinner with your cousins, your little cousins.

Yeah. Pretty much. I looked up some Saber metrics on Boban the other day and he is, uh, his wingspan, you guys want to guess what it is? So he's seven foot three. Seven nine. Seven ten. His wingspan.

Seven ten. Ten. Holy shit. Yes. His wingspan is taller than anybody else in the world right now. It's insane. Boban. What does that mean though?

If you're seven three and your wingspan's seven ten. Means your arms are really long. Probably got a big cock. Yes. And have you seen his hands? Yeah. Huge, huge dog. Huge dog.

Big dog. Well, no matter how big his unit is, they, it's going to look tiny in those hands. Yeah. True. True. Yeah. Uh, is that your only one? Is that it Hank?

Are we doing hooms? You're, okay. So Hank didn't prepare. So he only had one. Uh, my first one was going to be the Titanic being back, but we got to that. Yeah. I think we covered the ground on that one. So my second one is going to be, uh, mice.

So you're the only one? No, no. I have another one and it's mice. Okay. That's the first one. Mice are back. Yeah. In a big, this is a very personal.

Yeah. It's very relatable. But. God damn mice. And I'm trying to do everything that I can to kill them. I keep a pretty clean apartment, I think it's like, and you probably wouldn't believe me if you looked at my desk. You're like, there's no way this lives anywhere, but a pig stuff.

Yeah. He sold out. Yeah. I did sell out big time. Um, so I'm trying to kill this mouse. So if anybody there has a suggestion for how to kill a mouse, this is another like, this is another PFT looking for free amp. Yeah.

Send me just one. An exterminator. One mouse. So who's back has just become PFT and wants free shit. Here's the thing. Sad. I don't come. I don't come prepared.

Sorry. I actually look up for his back. So not just with my personal problems. So if anyone's got, if anyone's got it, if anybody has a sweet guitar, they can give me a pellet gun. My who's back is electricity bills. If anyone out there want to pay for my electricity. If anyone has a pellet gun.

I spent my Saturday or maybe it was my Friday. I forget the weekends are just, they're not real. So I was sitting on my couch. This mouse comes out and Leroy is worthless. He just lays there and watches. He tries to play with a mouse. Yep. He's lifting his paws up.

He's waving at it. The mouse brought one of Leroy's treats out to him, put it down in front of him and then walked away like a peace offering. So they're friends. Yeah. No, this happened when I had rats in my apartment in Chicago. Stella had like a little, the rats and Stella all like kept, I walked, Stella walked out of the room one day and she was like, she was eating like a lollipop.

And I was like, where the fuck did you get that? And then I looked and the rats had had a little like a co-op where they, where they put all their shit where Stella could go shopping. So that's dogs, dogs are fucking assholes when it comes to that. Yeah. It's awful. So it's the only point the cats have. Trying to get rid of this damn mouse.

So it sounds to me like you're getting outsmarted by a mouse. Absolutely. Yes. Okay. That's a hit. That's a hit to your rep. That's fine. Well, the mice don't have takes.

Okay. They haven't reached that level of intelligence. Maybe you should leave out that book. What's that book? The Stuart, Stuart Little. Is that the mouse? The mouse that like sails around. Maybe, ooh, maybe make it a little sailboat and see if it will just maybe make it the

Titanic. Just leave you know what I started to do. I just started to collect stuff around my couch that I could throw that wouldn't put dents in the wall. So I'm trying to bean a mouse now. Got it. So I'm probably going to just go to the store and buy. It's not very good.

That's pretty good. I'm going to buy like maybe a dozen tennis balls and just keep them on my couch. But then Leroy's just going to go for the tennis balls. Now Leroy, see, you would think that but Leroy's too lazy to get up. Ooh. We don't make those jokes. Oh, sorry Hank. Yeah.

Oh, damn. You got any more? Damn. No, that's it. You got one? That's my who's back. Oh, damn. Oh, damn.

The other who's back in the week is dehydration. Yes. Because Odell Beckham says that he doesn't like the way water tastes and it makes him feel squishy inside, which is probably, I mean, it makes sense that Odell doesn't like water because he's always chilling on boats trying to stay as far, he's trying to stay above it. How wild does that take? And then there were, people were actually debating, like I saw people being like, hey,

hot take. I actually think water stinks. How can you not like water? Water keeps you alive. It's building black water. It's building black water. Yeah. It's building blocks of life.

Water is great, but it can also kill you. So what? Drink too much? Yeah. If you drink too much or drown. Yeah. So it kills. Dick Cheney water boards some people.

Yeah. Well, yeah, that actually makes you tell the truth. Yeah, that's true. So maybe Odell would, yeah, he'd start being more honest with the Mara family. With Mr. Mara. You always have to call Mr. Mara, by the way. Holy shit. I mean, I think we just figured out all the giant's problems.

Just start waterboarding. No, if the Mara family just brought in, Dick Cheney is like a special consultant. And you started waterboarding Odell Beckham so that he would be like, hey, Odell, like, do you actually think Eli sucks? Yeah. Well, Cheney knows how to handle a shotgun offense better than Eli does. True. Also true.

A lot of things that Dick Cheney could clean up for the New York Giants. Okay. Is Dick Cheney alive? Yeah. Fact check, yes. Okay. Because I saw that new Christian Bale movie. I was like, he must be dead if this is happening.

I think that movie is a weapon. I think that movie is actually going to kill Dick Cheney when he sees it. Yeah, because it's basically like, hey, Dick Cheney, all the shit anyone who's read about you knows is now going to be in a movie for all us dumb people who don't read. Yes, exactly. That's got to be a guy's worst nightmare to be like, hey, I know that people could read up about me and find out some really fucked up shit. But thank God there's not a movie for all the dummies out there.

Yeah. Well, fortunately for me, the vast majority of America doesn't read anything. Right. Right. So now you're screwed because there's a movie and it looks pretty good. All right. Let's do our interview with Dave Damichek. We talk stillers.

And now, Dave Dameshark. Okay, we now welcome on our good friend. It's been a long time. It's good to have him back. It is Dave Dameshark. You can get him, you can get all of him at NFL.com, the Dave Dameshark football program. Also the Dave's is Thunder podcast, the greatest name of a podcast ever, Dave's is Thunder. You can listen to him there, Dameshark.

It is great to hear your voice. It's great to hear your stupid Pittsburgh accent. Hey there, Dave, how's it going? Let's start with your stillers. How are you feeling about this? Hey Dave. I told you, Baroffus Burger would get it done, dude. He went in the sense and he did what he always done.

He took down Mbongals, dude, what else is new? He owns Ohio, but tell us, where do you land on the, Mike Tomlin has lost control of the locker room and you root for a bunch of assholes when you actually look at it? Yeah, no, well, listen, it's hard for me to refute when the star player doesn't even show up for the first couple of months of the year, but I don't listen. Well, let's see what happens. I mean, what are we going to do at this point? Are we going to kick Tomlin to the curb?

It will be very sad though, if this window closes, the Roffus Burger, Antonio Brown. Roffus Burger is a Hall of Famer, Antonio Brown's the best receiver since Randy Moss, and Levy and Bell's the best running back in the game. And are they really never even going to get to a Super Bowl together? If that happens, then I do think you have to point at Tomlin. It's kind of like being a Packers fan. For the last 27 years, they've never had worse than the third best quarterback in the NFL, and yet they only have the same number of rings as Dilfer and Flacco have given to Baltimore.

Love that. It's the same level of vexing sort of fandom if you have those high end guys and you don't do that much with them. So yeah, you brought up the big Levy on Bell question. Nobody knows what's going to happen when he's going to come back, if he's going to practice, if he's going to actually put effort out there, or if he's just going to kind of make things a nuisance for Tomlin. Are you, right now, if I were to ask you, how confident are you on a scale of, we'll

give you a scale of one to three. How confident are you that the Steelers win the AFC North? I think the Ravens are going to end up winning it at this point. The way they look, and they already have the win in Heinz, that's the big one. And it seems like those two teams always split, but the Steelers swept them last year, so maybe the Ravens get them back this season. I do think the Steelers are now, I mean, the thing that's bad is that, you know, everybody now is, everybody in Pittsburgh, it's all fixed now.

The Steelers are ready to go, except look at the second half of their schedule. It's a misery. Although, I don't know. By the way, I do have the issue, you condolences, big cat, a lot of guts doing the show tonight with what happened to Blake, you know, not only that, but also the, watch a little bit of Blake stuff. Listen, I said it before, but the Bears, that game, it was so weird because I was watching the game and I wasn't, I wasn't motherfucking the Patriots for beating the Bears because

I had that when the schedule came out as a loss. I was sitting there being like, I still can't believe we lost to Brock Osweiler because those are the losses that just hang over your head for the rest of the season. It's like, when you look at the schedule, when it comes out, whenever it does in April or whatever it is, you say, okay, it's going to be tough to beat the Patriots because it's still Tom Brady, but Brock Osweiler or Ryan Tannehill, that should be a win. And that now is a loss going forward. So I appreciate your condolences on that.

Well, I just, I know I admire you for doing the show and PFT too. His boy Flacco did everything he could to do the E word thing. Listen. And then the kicker who never missed, has missed one. I feel for both of you, but I'm proud to be with you on this auspicious night when you overcome so much. I don't, thank you. First of all, thank you for complimenting us.

Secondly, I don't know if he saw Flacco when he lines up as a wide receiver. He actually cares less about pretending he's a wide receiver than Jake Cutler did. And I didn't think that was possible, but he just, he walks backwards. I actually kind of love watching him play. I love it. It's so spiteful. It's not passive aggressive. Although it's not moving.

So I guess that's passive, but it's so aggressive to the Ravens organization, such an FU to the organization. Fair you draft somebody. When you've got me here. Yes. He's aggressively passive aggressive, and I love that. Speaking of AFC North football, I was wondering when you guys are going to stop your bad faith attacks on Vontae's perfect.

Yeah, it really is unfair already. And I joined Bengal's owner, Mike Brown, who thinks that these sorts of penalties are making the sport less attractive. Because I think we all, I think one thing that we can all rally behind, yes, we're fractured 32 times over. But I think we all can take a step back and admire the man that Vontae's perfect is and what he does for the national football league. This league needs more men like that.

And so I agree with the shame of going after poor Vontae. Are you in the camp that he should be suspended for the rest of the year? I mean, it was crazy. You guys saw those plays, right? I mean, what was he doing other than trying to injure people? I mean, it was not, they were beyond, and people love to throw it because I'm a stealer. Well, you were, you loved the stealers when me, Joe and Jack Lambert did it. Yes.

But two things. One, it was legal then. Now it's not. And two, these guys are, you know, they're, they're 60 pounds heavier. So when they, when they throw themselves, haven't held it first at each other, the injuries are more severe. So no. So I, yeah, I think he should be suspended.

Wow. He's not even trying to make, he's not trying to make, I mean, well, I don't care. He's the whole season, but sure, he should be shelved for four or five games. It's AFC North football. Yeah. That's a great spin zone for you. That's true. Yeah.

I forgot about that. That is AFC North football. You're right. You mentioned, and I want to bring it up because it is something that is going to be a new story tomorrow. What do you think the Jaguars do going forward? And remember, we're best friends at Blake Bordel. So be very careful and very nice with what you say next.

I know that you have, you've led the way on opening America's eyes where Blake Bordel is in concern when everybody else was treating him like a punchline. You elevated him. And I dare say that you had a significant role in the 2017 Jaguars advancing to the AFC title game. All that though, rear view mirror now. I think Blake, you know, not much like his doppelganger, the guy who, I mean, he is Ben Rothesberger.

It's freaky that they both, the day they arrived in the NFL respectively, they were both 37 years old. And Bordel's now, like Rothesberger did a fortnight ago, must now take a long look in the mirror and decide to carry this football team or shame the devil. I mean, what, what are they going to do? Go with Cody Kessler at this point? That would be more ridiculous than sticking with Blake Bordel's, right? You can't, they can't go with, they can't go with a guy named Cody.

How much faith would, with the rest of the team have? How far can they fall from grace in, in a three week stretch here? Right. Cody can win a lot of Pac-12 games, but he can't win in the NFL. Yeah. Cody is a great name if you want your son to be really good at the rodeo. Yeah. Or skateboarder.

Or skateboarder. Something intimidating. Okay. Yeah. Those are two decent professions you've just laid out there. But yeah, I often like, you know, names like Carl are weird names. Todd Haley, by the way, stole my bit in the, in the preseason when he did the whole, you know, that's a weird name for a baby.

Carl's a weird name for an infant, you know, so another weird name for a baby is Todd. Todd the big, you know, adorable. Look at how cute he is. Look at Todd is a terrible name. Cody's the other way. Cody's a cute name for a baby. But yeah, but people lacked the long term vision, the parents who named him that. This person we hope is going to grow up and be an adult at some point.

We're not doing him any favors calling him Cody. Yes. Absolutely. All right. Blake's the answer. You know, Blake's got slaggers just in name alone. I'm scared. I'm scared.

All right. Let's talk a little NFC football in general. So I have a question for you. Who is the second best team in the NFC? Because I feel like it's obviously the Rams or the juggernaut, they're, they're undefeated. They look like they can just beat everyone every which way. But there is kind of a mishmash of teams where you're like, okay, those teams are good, but I don't really know.

So who would you say like rank your NFC teams after the Rams? Yeah, you guys been watching the Redskins. Hello. No, it's not them. But that's not your first place team in the NFC East is, is sad. And the Eagles are good because they still have that pass rush and they've added to it and it'll only get better as the year goes along. But they're, but it's clear in the, in the fourth quarter, that's what they miss with

not having Jay Jai or LeGarret Blunt. That's going to be a bad thing. And I don't know what the fix is out there on the open market for them to get that guy who can just grind the defense when you need them to. The Packers, I like their defense a lot and they do tend to get better. Maybe that's just anecdotal on my part. I don't go with any actual facts. I just go with what I think is to what I believe is true.

It seems like Aaron Rodgers gets better in the second half of the season. It always seems like they're always behind the eight ball. That loss that I thought they were going to get handed on Monday night. I thought, what is he going to do? The relaxing again, does he have a new bit cooked up for 2018? But either way, I think they'll get better. That defense is, it should be good over the course of the year. So maybe they're the answer.

But man, that is a, now that you bring it up, that's a grim question. Cause the, the Saints don't really have much of a defense. Maybe it's the Panthers, but can you really trust in them? The thing that what strikes me this year so far is if you ask anybody outside of Baltimore, what's wrong with your team? Everybody says, well, we have no defense. That's true for every single team. Like I say, besides the Ravens right now, that nobody has any defense.

Every game it seems like is, uh, or just about is turning into a shootout. I guess I'll go to answer your question once and for all. I'll say it's going to be the Packers, uh, by the time it's on. Okay. So you failed because I was looking, I was fishing for a compliment. You to be like the NFC North, the, the last place, the NFC North, the Chicago Bears, they look like they could really put it together, but you failed on that. That's okay.

That's okay. I'm sorry, I feel bad, but I said this about the Jags two years ago when everybody was hip on them, that they all look out for the Jags. I said, they're a year away. And so they were, I said that in August about your bears, I said, 2019 will be their year. I, you watch, they'll be dangerous. The sleeper team that I, that I was talking about pointing to for everybody in

August and nobody still is talking about the Detroit lion. Okay. They beat the Packers, they beat the Patriots. Those are good wins. Now there's, now they're back to even three and three. They're running the ball. That looms more prominent in the second half of NFL seasons. I don't think they're going to, I'm not going to make hay in January, but I wouldn't

be surprised if they wind up with a wild card. The problem with the lions is, and this happens with, with idiots like the three of us is if you suffer a big time national TV loss, I can never get out of my head. So when you say lions, I'm like, Oh yeah, they lost to Sam Darnold by 50 points at home, even though you, they did beat the Patriots and they did beat the Packers. But those losses, it's like, I need the men in black, uh, a race memory move after a big loss. So I don't, I judge all my bets off that from that point.

You need eternal sunshine of the spotless mind to like get that relationship out of your, what about, um, you didn't mention the Vikings. I think the Vikings are another team that's going to get better as the season goes on, uh, especially if they can get Dalvin Cook. I don't, I don't know what his deal is and how injured he is, but, um, if they can get him back, the defense is really good. Thielen, here's a take. I think Dylan's the best wide receiver in the NFL right now.

Boom. I said it, but I also think that Kirk Cousins is too big of a nerd to ever win a Super Bowl. What are your comments? I'm with you about them largely. I think Dalvin Cook, if he gets back in his, and starts playing like he was, I mean, then again, we are sort of hanging our hats on Dalvin Cook, who we saw play well for about, uh, like three weeks, right?

Last year, is that about how long he was good and healthy? And ever since then, we just all of Dalvin Cook's, uh, the, the, the key to where the Vikings go this year, but yeah, it seems like their defense is getting better. And I'm with you on Kirk Cousins and I don't, you know, all the serious football was football guys. They, they, they scoff at, uh, I don't know where you guys come down on this, but I think it matters if the guy has never gone to a Super Bowl. And I think it does matter if you win Super Bowls and you win playoff games

and people's Kirk Cousins faulted the DB last year, uh, or that, uh, uh, or, you know, the, the, the Kirk Cousins that the skin defense was crummy two years ago when they got to the playoffs or wherever that was three years ago. Yeah, it is their fault when they're, when, when you're, when you're the man, when you're the guy making all the loot and all that kind of stuff, then yes, let's not get a egalitarian all of a sudden about, uh, about, hey, it's a, it's your ultimate team game. No, then why does he make $30 million?

He's got to carry the team. I'm with you guy. I don't think he's, I've yet to see anything that leads me to believe. Yes. He's worth $30 million and will obscure all the other flaws on the Vikings. Right. He basically thinks he's living inside of a TED talk right now and his job. He like reads too many motivational quotes and like self-help books.

I don't trust a guy like that, Dave. I, I, I, you know what? I'm absolutely with you because you know why he's trying to convince himself or something. I feel like you talk about the eternal set. You think Rothesberger's sitting around, uh, in his quiet moments, having those sorts of discussions with himself. No, he's not, he's not going deep.

Rothesberger has no inner monologue. And we actually like Rothesberger. I know it called them all assholes, but we, uh, we, we, the Steelers, not to go back to the Steelers because you are a Steelers guy, but I'll give their Steelers credit. They are always very, very interesting and they always, you know, demand headlines and give you fodder for guys like us who are in sports media. Yeah, but it's, it's like, if you, if you don't see what you, you have to, in

the 21st century as a Steelers fan, even though they did break through and get a couple of Super Bowls there. And I, and I know that's obnoxious. If you're, uh, you know, a Browns fan or whatever to, to lament the state of the Steelers. But there, you, you, you have to just focus on the AFC North because, you know, if they get into January and the Patriots are going to be there, well, then we can't beat them or Blake Portals.

You can't beat Blake Portals either. That's also true. Yes. Yes. Is, uh, as Maurice Jones, Drew will tell you, he now has the keys to, uh, to the city of Pittsburgh. Thanks to Blake Portals. But, um, and you know, by the way, Maurice Jones, Drew had his young children

Pelt Steelers fans with snowballs at that playoff game. That's awesome. That's awesome. Hey, we, we play this game with everyone who works for NFL.com. You are a corporate shill for the league. So go ahead. Why, why don't you carry Roger Goddell's water? What do you want me to specifically address?

What did he send into memo recently? Like what's the, what's the company line that you're trying to, you're trying to, trying to push down our throats. Go ahead, Dave. These rules changes have absolutely nothing to do with, uh, with the uptick in offense. So I don't know what you're watching, but that has nothing to do with any of it. Bravo.

Period. Bravo. Great job. There it is. That was the memo that you probably got last week. I like that. The thing I want though, it's too sunny now. That's the thing.

It's the, the global warming now has it sunny out for too long. It, aren't we supposed to now be watching the games even in LA? It makes it even worse. I like to see the games in the Midwest and in the Northern Clines. I like it to be, you know, I like it to rain or I like it to be gray. I thought it was all sunny and, and by the way, how obnoxious was that Browns and Buccaneers game to look at? You know, it was really stomach churning with the sun and those uniform colors.

It looked like Halloween with the other color schemes and everything else. And, uh, and I wish I had the black and white option on my TV with when I'm watching a game like that. It was that maybe that's the thing that, uh, commission could down needs to address first is, uh, the state of uniforms out there. I like, I like that. Make every team that's above, let's say Kansas, that's more North than Kansas play outside so that way we can get some nice snow football.

Like we saw in Wisconsin this weekend, it's a, it's a much better product when there's precipitation or when it's so cold that the helmets chip. That's my favorite thing when the helmets, the paint chips off because it's so cold. When they take their head steam and all that stuff, and that's the, that's the best stuff that is that up in Lambo that they serve soup. One of the best things is that they serve the players, the soup, the chicken broth, only the Packers get it. That, you know, like that, add that to the lore of sports that that's better

than the Celtics with the dead spots on the old Boston garden floor and only the home players knew what it, where those things were. This is even better. The Packers, when it's cold out, only give the home team the chicken broth. I think that's the best. Well, that was actually McNabb's mom. She started that trend for the Eagles, but the Packers just kind of co-opted it.

Yeah. You remember those commercials? Dave, I want to get your take on something. You're a big LA guy. Why is Los Angeles such a bad sports town and they won't support the chargers? It's super weird, actually, I think. And I think, by the way, that that's going to end up being your Super Bowl is the Rams and the chargers.

And I like it. Whoa. I listen, the charger should have beaten the chiefs in week one and, uh, you know, we'll see what happens even with, uh, you know, maybe the homes is better than Alex Smith, but there's no guarantee that they're not going to slide back a little bit. What are they going to go 15 and one? So if they fall back a little bit, the chargers are going to jump.

If they get Joey Bosa back, imagine that if they get the injuries that they always are plagued by, maybe the football God's smile on them in late autumn, 2018, and finally give them close to a healthy team. And, uh, and then they lay waste to the ASC, including Tom Brady. That's how, you know, that's kind of how it's worked. And I feel like Phil Rivers has, uh, has been snake bit by the Patriots. Wouldn't it be nice if for, for 17 to get over the hump and get to the Super Bowl in Atlanta, back at home, back to in, in the region of the country

where he was reared. I think that would be a fun story and would finally put the bed that, that Eli, the Eli versus Phil Rivers debate, which is, uh, which is a silly one anyway. It is. And I agree Phil Rivers is, is probably the most underrated quarterback of our time. He's, he's for sure a Hall of Famer and he hasn't had, you know, he went to the AFC championship game early in his career, but he hasn't had that deep run

where people write the puff pieces about Phil Rivers. And they're like, Hey, guess what, America? Phil Rivers has been good for a really long time. So I agree. I would like to, I'd like to see Phil Rivers get some, get some, uh, media pub there. It would be cool if he could make a deep run there, but, um, they, uh, you know, and who's, who's even left now, the Jags.

I mean, they, I don't know that. Well, Blake, it's going to turn it around. Yes. I don't, we know that that's going to happen, but that not withstanding. And it feels to me like, doesn't this just feel like we already know the Patriots. I'm trying to make a case for the Chargers or somebody else, but isn't it, it's going to be the Patriots again. And they're going to get back because your Steelers can't beat them.

Yeah. It also, I think Gronk's back is going to be a big question because like that, that might not be something that he can just bounce back from like he has in the past. Like that, and that, that offense without Rob Gronkowski is completely different. They're very beatable, I think. I guess so, but Josh Gordon kind of sort of can, uh, pick up some of those catches. Well, I, yeah, at this point, as long as the Bengals don't go to the

Super Bowl to represent the ASD now, now that. Now that the capitals, because that's, I, I need to, I need to have something now that the capitals have gotten over finally, then now I can't, you know, I can't just regard them as mere punchline is, as a, a musing sideshow. You know, like my real rival and hockey is the Flyers and, you know, the caps have been laughable, but now they have a cup and it, you know, it sickens me, you know, the Ravens are an actual rival of the Steelers. Cause sometimes they win the bongos never win any game of significance.

So as long as we can keep them down, I, at this point, I'm kind of willing to call 2018 a success. Oh, you mentioned Joey Bosa earlier. Who would you rather have? If you were to take one of these two defense alignment, uh, for the rest of their careers, would you rather have Joey Bosa or TJ Watt? Oh, I went, well, I mean, I assume both is going to come back healthy. I would definitely take Bosa.

I've said this before, I'll say it again to you now. Joey Bosa looks exactly like a guy named Joey Bosa. Yes, he does. Absolutely. Isn't he like a, he's the perfect name for that guy. Yeah. And his brother, Nick, they're like two bullies and still your bike. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Um, all right. My last question is to seek each question, put in promo code take. You get $10 off your seek each purchase. We're here with Dave Damichek. You can check them out his podcast days of thunder, uh, and the Dave, uh, Damichek football show. Uh, I have this question and I don't know how you want to answer it, but I always think of it about this.

You obviously worked on the man show back in the day. Do you ever think about back like you're like, man, that show would not play in 2018. Oh, I, it's so funny. Uh, I mean, I talk about that with, uh, you know, Sal and all those guys, I talk about, uh, we laugh about that all the time. What could in 2018, what could we get away with now that we did get away? I mean, I wrote a, I don't even want to go into it.

I'm, I just started to talk about bits that ran that, uh, that plenty of people already watched, but now I'm ashamed. I'm not ashamed of them, but, uh, I don't want to bring them up cause I don't want anybody searching for them. See, he's politically incorrect. We can't have him. You know, we can't let him on our airspace anymore. But, uh, I'm completely with you, with you about that.

But I've also said to you guys the last time I talked to you, I think I said to you, you too would be the perfect, uh, guys to go in and start a new man show. Who, who, the guys, guys could do that. Yeah. Yeah. Call away. Yeah. You guys come on.

You're clever fellas. Yeah. Name it what you want. But I think you could do that show. What about the man show for men? Hmm. Kind of alpha you a little bit. Bye guys.

Yeah. I like it. This is going in a, in a very good direction. I just want a consulting fee on it. That's all I'll ask you. Do you ever look back and you're like, well, cousin Sal, who was, you know, worked with you on the show. Now he basically has the best job in the world where he talks about gambling

all the time for a living. Mm-hmm. Yep. Yep. Yeah. I envy him. Yeah. I envy him.

Yeah. I don't know what he, I mean, I think he, sometimes I've heard him do something with like numbers that are in half and stuff like, I don't, I don't even know. I don't even know what that's all about. Gambling on football. I don't even know what that is about. But yeah, I, I, I've heard tell that that's what he talks about on his program. Okay.

So you guys are trying to bounce, I guess, bounce in the right direction. You're playing against the Browns. Are you a little concerned that Hugh Jackson is such a tough guy to game plan against because he has no idea what he's doing. So he's, it's like, it's like trying to debate against a crazy person. They don't play by the same rules. Like he, he could do anything at any given time. I mean, was there, was, is there a more magnificent trio that you, that in recent

memory than the head coach, the offensive coordinator and the defensive coordinator? I don't know if you noticed this, but Greg Williams, it's really funny because he swears a lot and, and like he lets everybody know it and every, it's a super funny thing that never gets tired that he swears a lot apparently. But that's his chief characteristic. But now Hugh, I don't know if you heard announced after the loss and over time to the mighty bucks that he's going to have a stronger hand now and offensive. Yes.

Thank God. He's the head coach and he can't have this. That's going to go great. Yeah, I'm sure. Him and Todd Haley now, this is going to be hysterical. Yeah. Todd, he's a guy that will relinquish power without much of a fuss, I feel. Go, going to go down nice and smooth, just like New Year's Eve did for Haley

on the banks of the three rivers. Yeah. Yeah, we need, yeah, we need, we need the hard knocks cameras to get back up just for, just for Monday morning when Hugh Jackson tries to tell Todd Haley that he's taking over. You're absolutely right about that. Yeah. We need that.

Yeah. We need a little mini series up and running here just for one week. Give it to us. That's all we want. You know, Steelers week. We got to have that. Yeah. Um, all right, Dave, thank you so much.

As always, best of luck to your stillers and everyone. Check out all the stuff Dave's doing. It's great stuff, great football stuff. He's a football guys guy. Dave, thank you. We'll talk soon, man. Hey, fellas, you're the best. Happy for you and all the success you're having.

Shout out to my guys, uh, Coley and Tyler. Hope they're doing well. Oh yeah, big tape guys. Yes. All right. All the, uh, oh yeah, best basketball show out there. I love it. Absolutely.

I agree. Thanks, Dave. I love you, Dave. All the best, fellas. Good to, congratulations again on them caps, TFT. Thank you. Thank you. It feels good to be a champion.

There you go. I love you. I'm sure it does. Love you. I love you. All right, nice. That interview with Dave Damichek was brought to you guys by zip recruiter and life.

There are things that are smart and there are things that are not smart, uh, not smart would be betting on Marvin Lewis in a prime time game or Derek Anderson or Derek Anderson. Uh, there are smart things that you can do too. Like betting on Patrick Mahomes until the magic runs out, which we probably should have done seven and all against the spread betting on Drew Brees, betting on Tom Brady, which I did do and they won against the Chicago Bears.

I don't know if you saw the end of that. That's a fucking ad. Uh, there, but, but there are not smart things. There are job sites that send you tons of the wrong resumes to sort through. That's not smart. There are job sites that make you wait for the right candidate to apply to your job.

That's not smart. You know, it's not smart using your relatives to fill in at work while you look for staff. You know, it's not smart making the lottery the centerpiece of your retirement plan.

That's also what I frequently they should just like you search M on you porn. Okay, let's get to some segments. First up, we have NBA petty wars reinvented that.

So we invented that. Please credit us. NBA Twitter is very is very upset that we are talking about football. We're talking about baseball. We're not talking enough about basketball. So they decided to stage a fight. By the way, I just referred to this as preseason basketball until Christmas. Yes, 100%.

So except LeBron's own two and that still counts. Yeah. Oh, the loss is absolutely. Yeah. For those absolutely counts. So what happened was there was a hard foul in or not even that hard of a foul in the Rockets Lakers game. Brandon Ingram pushed James Harden.

Seemed like that was going to be everything. Then Rondo and Chris Paul got into it. There was some finger pointing. There was an alleged spit and then some punches thrown. Now, the fallout here is Chris Paul got two games. Rondo got three. Ingram got four because Ungram did try to throw a punch on top of all the punches. Hilarious suspensions because this is a player's league.

Like they were full on throwing punches and that's all they got, which I actually respect being like, you know what, these guys make us a lot of money. Why the hell would we suspend them for more than a couple of games? Well, I mean, you never see a fight like this in hockey breakout. Yeah. And it's just sad that there are kids watching at home when all this happened. But I'm a little bit confused why Rondo didn't get more of a suspension for spitting on somebody.

So that is the big question. There's been videos. There's been studying of videos. Rondo. Chris Paul said that he was spat on by Rondo. Rondo, I don't know if Rondo made a statement or anything, but that has been like the prevailing. It all escalated because Rondo spat on Chris Paul.

Now Hank came in today and Rondo is one of his favorite athletes of all time. Correct. Yeah. So how do you feel about Rondo and LeBron? Like how do you? Yeah, you're rooting for LeBron. No, I'm not. So like you kind of are if you're rooting for Rondo to succeed.

I wasn't at all. And then once this fight played out, like all my old emotions came out because you see LeBron take Chris Paul's side, you see him not care about Rondo. And then afterwards everyone was just throwing allegations against Rondo without any visual evidence. Okay. So here's the science experiment. Hank has come in and his spin zone is it is impossible to spit.

No, this is what the Lakers said. Okay. So Lakers said it is impossible to spit while having a mouth guard in your mouth and Rondo had a mouth guard in his mouth. So we have purchased mouth guards. This is going to be bad radio, but we are going to see. I'm going to actually wet my whistle real quick beforehand. We've molded these mouth guards too.

We did the thing where we dip them in water, boil them. It's a perfect fit to my teeth right now. So we're going to see if it's possible to spit while mouth guarding. Yeah, all right, here we go. Yeah. My mouth was in. He'll fuck you, bitch. Fuck you, Chris Paul.

You didn't want to ring. You didn't want to ring. No one wants you on the banana boat. You're just ring chasing out of the way. You can just scare the Boston Celtics out in the east. Oh, I just, I spit. No, you can spit. You can spray.

You can spray. Spray them. All right, I'll call over to you. What's worse? Get over the hangstress going to spray and spit on Hank. What's worse? Getting spit or getting sprayed on? I'm spraying on you.

Hank, are you going to hit with anything? No, nothing. I don't feel anything. You can shit. Nope. Nope. I'm like a whale. You can 100% spit.

No one's possible to spit. I was just not. Hank said he didn't get hit. Hank said he reacted whatsoever. Yeah, you didn't touch me with anything. Yeah, Hank just said he didn't get hit. So I'm going to trust the guy that got spit on. The best part, by the way, was LeBron grabbing Chris Paul.

Because he's like, yo, listen, some things are deeper than teammates, the banana boat. Let's save our vacation on the yacht. And they just hugged. They hugged it out. It was great. He was like, I do not want to stop doing these awesome vacations and Instagramming all the new music that I get

that no one else can listen to first. I would like to have the NBA start to issue suspensions for liking the wrong Instagram posts or liking petty tweets and tweeting out emoji stuff. Because what's worse, getting spit on or getting memed? Yeah. I would say getting memed. Memed is way worse.

You can wipe away spit. What just happened, by the way, breaking moves? What just happened in that NFL game, not hitting the over, is a national tragedy. It needs to be investigated. Yes, it is. It just went final. Wow.

And it needs to be investigated because I do not know how that over didn't hit. It's fucking ridiculous that the Bengals fully scored 10 points against Chiefs Defense. I need it investigated. I'm very distraught. What happened to make you so distraught? The over didn't hit.

But how? The fucking Chiefs went for it on 4th down at the 2-yard line and didn't get stuff when they could have just kicked a field goal. Andy Reid, have a little compassion for us. You're a fat guy. I'm a fat guy. They went for up 35.

Some of us need to bail out in the fucking Sunday night game and you fucked us. You fucked us, Andy Reid. You fucked us. Okay. I don't think any of you- I don't feel better, by the way. You know, sometimes you rant and you're like,

I feel better. No, I feel worse. Yeah, you got yourself all worked up. Oh, and I'll be worked up until tomorrow night. And if the over doesn't hit tomorrow night, then that's boys. That's called tilt, okay? That's a little friend of mine called tilt

and shit gets real bad real fast in the cat cave when tilt happens. And you're not on tilt right now? Nope, not yet. I'm totally calm. You're fine. I'm gonna hammer the over tomorrow night. I am totally calm.

You're fine. Okay. Hopefully the waterboard would help beforehand. Back on track. All right. Dead or alive, time of the sorta. Alive. Very much.

Very much alive and thriving. Yes. Bushy tail. He's walking confidently. He was getting sprayed with champagne. And he was wearing a poncho to protect himself from, from, I guess, hypothermia. Is that what they were worried about?

I think so. They, after the DS, he just went with the winter coat, the Dodgers winter coat. And I think he got a little too wet. So they went poncho this time and the Dodgers have advanced. We're going to talk a little baseball now. So be careful everyone at home. Actually, no, if you're, if you have a young child,

bring them into the room because it's America's past time. Dodgers, Red Sox. Classic. Classic. Holy shit. Did MLB luck out? Way to stay relevant baseball. They lucked out.

Imagine a Houston, Milwaukee World Series. Well, Houston's like the fourth biggest market in America. Yeah, true. But does anyone watch? Not outside of Houston. Yeah. Not out of. Because if people outside of Houston paid closer attention to Houston,

they'd be like, I'm definitely not ever going to Houston. Yeah. So it's going to be a fun series. I hope Tommy LaSorta stays alive. I also am going to do something, boys. I'm going to say something nice. And I don't want this to seem like I'm being like, you know, patronizing. Patronizing.

Patronizing. Patronizing. How do you say that? Patronizing. Patronizing. Patronizing is when you... If you can't tell, I'm still upset about that over. The Brewers, that was a really nice season.

And guess what? Your NL Central flag flies forever. That's very true. So good job. Can't wait for them to lower the banner. Guess what? They were very good. Okay.

I'm going to say it right now. The Brewers were very good. They were a better team than the Cubs. They had been eliminated. Yeah. There was a little case of just bad luck with that last game. Christian Yellich hit balls like two outfielders instead of finding the gap. And then Yasi Opui hit a very lucky homerun that was like, what, a three-run homerun?

And then DX everyone. And then DX everyone. That was very lucky. Bob Costas. They just smashed the shit out of the ball. I wish Bob Costas was calling that game because he would have puked everywhere. Yeah. He would have got another case of pink eye from it.

Oh my God. He would have been so upset. Which from getting his face shoved into Yasi Opui's ass. Yeah. And then the beginning of weird infections, Chris Sale was out sick and then told everyone that it was because of a bellybutton ring infection, which is a hilarious thing to say. It turns out it wasn't true. But there was a moment there.

There was a couple hours where it was true. Where everybody thought Chris Sale had a bellybutton ring. And I would respect that if he had a ring. Yeah. I'd agree. Yeah. You got to stay hot. You got to stay younger people.

Do kids still get bellybutton rings? Because there was a law passed I think in like 1999 or 2000 where every college freshman girl had to pierce her bellybutton. Yes. Yes. I don't know if they retracted that. Are they still doing that, Hank? Yeah.

Yeah. You got it. I mean it's kind of a hot look. Yeah. Then you have to take it out like five years later. Bellybutton's in like upper ears. Upper ears. Up in the hot streets.

Upper ears is really hot. Yes. And little tattoos. I'm thinking about getting a Prince Albert. You want Hank to do it for you? Yeah. Hank. He'll do it.

He'll get around that. He'll get around there. So predictions? Socks and six. Wow. Not very confident, Hank. Socks and five. I just hope it's six.

I just hope it's six. So I can go to game six for being perfectly honest. You think so? Yeah. That'd be awesome. I'd really say red socks and seven. Are we going to get the David Price-Clinton Kershaw matchup? That's what I want.

Maybe. I don't think so unless it goes late in the season. The very stoppable force against the extremely movable object. It's going to be a good series though. I think like the Dodgers are, they're a good team. And Manny Machado is the heel. And they have like the Dave Roberts magic against the red socks. And the La Sorda magic too.

Yes. Although La Sorda, to your point where you think that if the red socks, when you're killing Tom La Sorda, I think you're actually the opposite because the red socks, when then Tom La Sorda has some to live for. With the next one? Yeah. Yeah, you're right. If he wins, then he can die half.

I can absolutely see him just closing his eyes. Nice spin zone you got there, Hank. I'm still going with Tom La Sorda is going to die if the red socks win. Well, we're all going to die. Yeah. Well, maybe not Tommy actually. He's gone a lot farther than I think a lot of people expected. Yeah.

He'll kick Jeff's ass. Yeah. All right. We have a state classy Michigan. So Michigan, Michigan State played this weekend. Devon Bush before the game. Now he was provoked a little bit because Michigan State did that thing where they lined up and they walked the entire field and kind of like ran into the guy.

Wait, are you saying that Bush didn't start a preemptive attack? Yes. Okay. I am. All right. Exactly that. Exactly that. So he got roughed up, not roughed up, but like they were shoving and then he went and

basically scratched out or tried to scratch or you can't scratch out an entire logo. He stomped on it. He stomped on it. He did a little damage and then they fixed it. I like stomping. Yeah. Stomping needs to come back. Yes.

They just put an endemic ensue out there before the game and have him just tear up the logo. I like that shit. It's cool. They tried to, they did the world's largest game of Red Rover before kickoff and walked across the field, which I guess is a Michigan state tradition. Yes. That's the most Michigan state thing ever. Yes.

We all walk across the field arm in arm and whoever's in our way has to like politely ask to get by and we will let them by if they ask. I agree though. It's a rivalry game. Yeah. Let rivalry games, people who had some hot takes, stay classy, how could you do this? I also love how serious people take logos. Logos.

Don't step on it. Don't step on it. Don't stand on that logo in that they put in the middle of the fucking locker room a giant logo and you're not supposed to step on it. I love that shit. What if he just thought, you know how in NASCAR sometimes there are those invisible fires? I know it was in the Ricky Bobby movie, but it's like a real thing that's like an invisible fire.

Maybe there was an invisible fire, but feel like he's trying to stomp it out. Maybe he saved the entire stadium just so that he could kick your ass in it. Maybe he was hallucinating. Piss check. That's true. Yes. Jim Harbaugh won a big game though. It's a huge game.

And the trophy that you get from this game is one of the best ones, the Paul Bunyan trophy. Yeah. There's like three or four Paul Bunyan trophies in the big 10. They're all awesome. Yeah. Every game is a trophy game, right? But it's great in the big 10. Well, no, it's great because basically the entire big 10 is like some kind of Paul Bunyan

lore that you win. How many states claim Paul Bunyan? Is it like how Ohio and well, yeah, Abe Lincoln also like Ohio and North Carolina are like an ongoing license plate battle. Right. He claims the Wright brothers. Yep. Like, well, they were born here.

Yeah. Well, they invented the fucking airplane here. Yeah. That's a piece of Paul Bunyan. I like that. So, all right. Let's finish up with a whoa. So this is from the San Diego Chargers.

I'm still calling them San Diego Chargers because they should never have moved them and it's bullshit and it's stupid. So the Chargers have figured out a way to defeat time zones. Okay. So this came out from their England game. They said, one Chargers source told Peter Schrager, time zones no longer exist at this point. To keep team on schedule, Chargers had position group meetings at 6am Saturday.

Coaches were up at 4am. All worth it when you have a 12 hour victory flight home, five and two on the bye. So whoa. They beat it. So they just woke up super early. Imagine explaining the concept of beating time to Andy Reid. Or that or Phil Rivers. Yeah.

Phil Rivers definitely doesn't. He's like, so where, at what point am I down in the fourth? Yeah. Throwing the ball around. Yeah. The fourth quarter still at the same time. Phil Rivers, he doesn't, no, he doesn't believe in calendars, he doesn't believe in, he has a biological clock.

Yes. And he's like, it's time for me to spread my seed now. Yeah. Which is like Wednesday. Yeah. He's like a dandelion that releases its spores once a week. That's his clock. But yeah.

Good for the Chargers. They had that knock against them where they couldn't travel east, just like somebody else that we all know had some problems traveling east. But yeah, for years they were like the team that can't get it done. But we don't know. Where is the prime meridian? Do they technically, do they travel west? I don't know.

I can't do that shit. We'll have to look into that. I'm just dealing with, I'm just getting ready for this fucking time change we got next week. Oh, breaking moves to finish the show. Breaking moves. J.R. Smith might be throwing some soup soon. Uh-oh. What's up?

Someone tweeted that. Petty wars. We invented that. Real question. Why didn't at the real J.R. Smith play today? And he co-tweeted and said, not my choice. Oh, Tyler, you were in trouble. Oh, you know what this is?

J.R. Smith's trying to get traded to the Lakers. Yeah. Fuck yes. Fuck yes. Javale and J.R. Smith on the same team. And Lance Stevenson, who is like, Lance Stevenson tried to break up the fight. He was like the peacemaker. He's so crazy.

The low key best part of that fight was that like 70% of the players didn't give a single fuck. No. No, no cares in the world that their teammates were fighting. I also super team. I also don't know when this will happen to my brain, but until I'll tell you guys when this point happens, but every time like the Lakers or the Pacers or even I think the Knicks, when they get in a fight, I'm just waiting for Ron Artes to show up.

You know what I mean? He was there last night. Yeah. Like I was like, where's Ron Artes? Like he's got to throw a punch eventually in a jersey. So that moment hasn't come yet. I'll let you know when I stop waiting for Ron Artes to throw haymakers. Don't let J.R. Smith get his hands on Skyline Chile because if you were to throw that,

it would get ugly real fast. Real fast. Real fast. Okay. So Wednesday, we have an awesome interview with Boomer Seisen. We went into the WFAN Studios last Friday. It was a lot of fun. Shout out Gio.

He was very accommodating. Shout out Al Dukes as well and Tom Izzo, not that Tom Izzo, a different Tom Izzo, which confused the fuck out of me when they kept on saying Tom Izzo, but those guys were awesome. Welcome to sit in there and we interviewed Boomer and it's coming on Wednesday. We might just put Boomer in the title so that people think it's Chris Berman. Yeah. Let me just get those fucking hits. Absolutely.

So yeah, Wednesday. Boomer finally joins the show. Love you guys. It's part of my tape, presented by Gar Stool Sports.
