Okay, let's go It's part of my take. There's enough of our support. Welcome to part of my take today is Wednesday, September 6th and PFT. They are testing us on what they are testing us with the Kansas City Chiefs. First Chris Jones sits out is maybe not going to play week one. Now Travis Kelsey unfortunately has

hyper extension in his knee ACL intact. Wait, has Adam Schefter say anything about his knee about to explode? No, he is not. Okay. Is that's Albert Breer is it's going to explode. Judges miss Schuster, but they're testing us PFT. Okay. Travis Kelsey might not play on Thursday night. The chiefs are testing us. They're basically at the buzzer. We spent all summer saying, just don't overthink it. The chiefs are going to win the West. And at the buzzer, they're giving us enough things to be like,

well, maybe they won't win the West. We can't fall for it. Oh, in 17. We can't fall for it. I'm, listen, Chris Jones is the one that won the hyper extension. Yeah, that's what that's what he's been going for. Kelsey, unfortunately, we've been talking about the chiefs

and you'll hear our interview with Pete Prisco in a second and he basically says he could throw to any of us three. Yes. And Patrick Moan's to be a great quarterback. They don't have proven wide receivers this year. They were just gonna be like, okay, we'll do Travis Kelsey and then we'll make it work on the outside. Without Travis Kelsey, I'm, they're doing it.

I'm going lines, money line. I'm going, I am too. Money line. Well, I already was doing that, but I'm saying like for season long, the keeps are basically right at the buzzer saying, hey, let's invite all the doubters. Let's have this doubt creep in so that we can have

that rat poison in the locker room. Was Billy right about Travis Kelsey? Run soft. Maybe. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know we got to see the tape I gotta find out how it happened what trust the reminder no Yeah, you're right. Yeah, that's what Jake Jake. Check the fuck up. You also said don't trust the reminder. Yes, you said for week one

Don't trust the reminders. Yeah, but chiefs to win the West is not a week one reminder I'm I don't know what I do I don't want to do do. I don't know what you do. Hank, tell us what to do. Lions, money line. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's already been decided. That's been decided months ago.

I was like, I love this is going to be a coming out party for the Lions. What past do you wanted me to tell you, current you? No, we're all betting the Lions on Thursday, which is a terrible, terrible thing for the Lions. I'll do respect. Past me was a shithead. Yeah. He's an idiot.

You know how dumb I used to be? He's a moron. He's a fat fucking bitch. That's what past me is. New me is smart, chiseled, diligent. Give me another adjective. Uh, steadfast. Steadfast. Steadfast with his approach. I'm not sure what steadfast means. I am telling you guys what to do. I'm just telling you what steadfast. I do want to current you to do. Extra diligence. Yeah, but listen, I'm not gonna get bossed around by past me. I, current me is the alpha. Also, I'm not gonna get bossed around by past me via Jake. Yeah, true.

That's the worst way. Wait, did I really think? Did I really think that I was gonna be able to boss future me around by being like, Hey, Jake, remind future me that I wanted you to do this. No. But teacher, you didn't assign homework. That's what you're doing to us.

Oh, you bring it all out. That's the one thing that Jake actually gets offended by. He said that he was the teacher homework guy. And those people, you guys think I'm one of them. I mean, you were. Were you teacher, you forgot to collect homework? No. Were you teacher, here's an apple, I love you.

No. Were you call your teacher your mom? Everyone was that. You accidentally went to an accident. Oh, everyone accidentally went to an accident. Yeah. Are you kidding me? I've never done that.

Really? Everyone accidentally did that at some point. Will you teach her, I was the only one that did the assignment in my group project. No. There was a little bit of a delay on that one. No, because it has a taste. Well, because Jake, I remember the PowerPoint that you put together, you and memes,

but memes name was not on. That's past me, as you mentioned, idiot. Yeah, idiot, moron. So, yeah. Either way, we can't fall for it. I think I'm going to fall for it a little bit. Okay. Well, we're going to fall for it on Thursday night.

So, here's one thing that I will trust past me on. Do not believe the C words words do not believe their lies. Right. I am not going. If I'm going to move off the chiefs, I'm not going to the team in Los Angeles. I'm not going to do that. There was a report today. So what's my other option?

We're going to go to the Broncos. There was a report today that Sean Peyton said, uh, told, uh, Russell Wilson to stop with this Russell ink bullshit. He said, will you fucking stop kissing all the babies? You're not running for office. That might be an Epstein Island thing. It sounds like some Bill Clinton used to do it. But he should be standing with his dogs in the woods

in his song. Would you rather be on the airplane that had the shit all over it? Or on the airplane going across the Atlantic with Russell Wilson doing high knees? Definitely the shit. We saw the shit, by the way. It was exactly what I thought everywhere. It was literally everything. It was like when people are like

How could this be a biohazard? You had to know that it was diarrhea up and down the aisles Again, I believe this gentleman was probably I hope it was gentlemen Hey, just the doctor is the mother. I don't know that's it. That was If it was I feel like it was a guy would have come out of the guy. Women don't poop. That's the thing. But they do diarrhea. Yeah, they do.

Let's, it was a guy. It was definitely that. We think this is our misogyny showing. I love it. Like maybe the next bar still hit piece. They're like, they're misogynists. They didn't even think women could be the diarrhea biohazard person. It's 2023.

Okay. A bitch can clear out a plane. Yes. So whoever this was, I think they were wearing shorts and maybe not underwear. So that's how it happens. It looks like judging by the splatter pattern, if we're putting on like our Dexter hats here, you ever seen that show Hank Dexter?

Well, you don't wanna do the splatter pattern here? He judges the blood pattern and can tell you exactly how the murder went down. I was analyzing it through Dexter's eyes and it looks like somebody got up out of their seat and then pooped and then ran down the aisle while pooping. With shorts on. With shorts on. But I think it was, I think it was a sprint and it reminds me of that old George Carlin thing. There are certain things you will never see in your life that's a grown man running

while taking a shit. I think on that plane, there was somebody sprinting down the aisle. And as their ass was going back and forth, back and forth running, it was shooting left right like a sprinkler. Right. And I also analyzed this, watched the video many times. I think if we had to make a composite of the person, it is a gentleman, I would say about 230 to 50 pounds, say about 230 to 50 pounds, five, eight-ish wearing very loose fitting cargo khakis. You know the loose ones and he's got, if he's wearing underwear, he's wearing the old school

boxers, the gas box. You're almost describing Pete Prisco now. A little bit. Pete's not as heavy. He's also not five eight. Yeah, he's definitely not five eight. But I'm saying like there's enough movement in the shorts where it's the old school boxers that don't,

not boxer briefs that the splatter is allowed to go everywhere. Like a Jackson Pollock. I was with, I was with you until you said the cargo shorts. I think that that material is too, it's too firm. Well, I would say like athletic shorts, old school gym shorts. You got to remember this is a person going from Atlanta to Barcelona, probably the cargo shorts to keep the passports, the kids stuff.

Like he's probably, he's wearing maybe a fisherman's vest. Like one of those dads. It was coming from Atlanta though, right? Yeah. So it might have been gene shorts. We might be working with shorts here. Although those also could be a little bit tighter to the, yeah, it could have been a girl in short shorts. No, no, no, no, that would have been.

What if it was a girl in like juicy booty pants? That would have wrecked. I've ruled out the pilot's either. Oh, no, just because it's just a little length. Like how did it get, it covered, it did somehow cover the whole plane. What about a, what about a sturdist? The only way for it to cover the whole plane

is if it started at the top. Are you not allowed to say stewardess? You can say whatever. I think it's steward, stewardess. It's a flight attendant. Oh, an F-A? Yeah. What about an F-A?

You can say whatever. It could have been, it could have been an inside job. That would make a lot of sense, weren't it? Not enough details have come out where it makes me suspicious of a lot of things. Are we sure it wasn't a dog? Oh, it's a dog-bational support. But dogs. One of the fake emotional support animals that sure it wasn't a dog? Oh, it was a original support. But dogs. One of the fake emotional support animals

that people just bring on a plane, they get a certificate online. They're like, oh yeah, this is my dog. I need him to fly. It could be the dog because like the dog starts, does the squat and then you're like, go run, run. And then just starts pooping everywhere. Dogs poop and run all the time.

Yeah. This is the number one sports podcast in America. Yeah, we're breaking it down. I mean, it was the number one story. Yeah, it is 24 hours. sports podcast in America. Yeah, we're breaking it down. I mean it was the number one story Yeah, it is 24 hours. I think that sports yeah, I'll tell you what this is a bad omen for the jets Yeah, I don't think you can start off in any words. Uh-oh and the Browns and the Browns both. Yeah, both of them bad fade both of them Yep, it's it's a bad combo memes. You should be worried now. Oh hard knocks Yeah, hard knocks is over.

We watched it. We totally watched it. Yeah. So I'm in the habit of watching hard knocks about two days late during the weeks. I haven't watched after episode two. I have to admit. It's not bad. It just makes you fall in love with the Garrett Wilson. And you're going to get more rosy colored glasses with the jets because it does make you think that they can do something. I still go back to the fact that the offensive line doesn't look great and it is hard to switch to a new team new system. It doesn't always work out. Do you know what it it's a hard game big cat? The the other guys they get paid money to play football too.

You know what it is for me is I'm obviously you know all in on Aaron Rogers never said a bad thing about him. Might be a bit whatever watching it. It's like I'm getting poisoned by the bit. So like if I have to watch more Aaron Rodgers and be like, oh he's the best, I'm gonna start, like my body's gonna start rejecting it. You're at the stage where you're like, you know what? I really, really like smoking weed.

I need to stop because I like it so much. And I'm just gonna forget about everything else. And I'm gonna, my entire life is going to be based around weed. Yeah, like my brain is like, oh, this is funny to just reverse and troll packers fans and my whole body and everything that is learned is like, you can't like this guy. So I have to keep my distance so that I can keep enough distance to be like, oh, yeah, I love Aaron Rodgers. He's the best. If I watch him, I'm going to be like, wait, I fucking hate this. Yeah, I remember, I remember everything that I hated about. Every flashback will start hitting me. Yeah, it's, I'm very excited for this football season.

I don't remember the last time that I've been this excited. No way, I'm so excited. I want to wrap my entire body up in, in Saran wrap and bubble wrap and just make sure I make it through the next day and a half. I think we're all at every football season at this exact moment, I'm at 100 out of 100. It's every single year.

I'm 500 out of 100. I don't think I've ever been more or less excited than I am every single year. I'm infinity out of 100. Not only are these cool new teams, cool new storylines, but also for the first time in 25 years, I actually get to be happy and proud of my own team that I get to root for. That's true.

It's, the NFL fucking rocks. Yeah, it's the best. It is the best. It is the best. There was a story that just came out an hour ago. Did you see this about the Dolphins quarterback coach, Darryl Bevel? No.

So he suffered a detached retina during training camp. This is from Jory Epstein. After the surgery that he had, he needed to lie face down for 90% of seven straight days. So there's a picture that he's sent to the team where he's just laying face down on his bed, watching film on his tablet that's on the ground. And he's just like hanging off the edge of his bed,

watching film, Mike McDaniel showed the team this picture. Why? A powerful message. He told Yahoo Sports. Then you need to go to the ends of every health, Sports that it's you need you need to hurt like go to the ends of every health. Everything that a doctor ever tells you to just keep doing your job with football. Yeah. This it looks like a milking table for your eyes. Yeah. He's just staring down at the game. The all 22. They do that. And it's very funny when you say that because if you just change the perspective a little bit. So he's detached retina still doing his job being commended for doing his job.

If you made this like a Twitter thread about a startup in San Francisco, there would be 10,000 Twitter handles with roses in their handle being like, this is toxic work culture. Well, that's just football, baby. They're definitely would be people being like, I can't believe that you make your employees do this. There would also be a bunch of guys with the NFT.ETH. Yeah, that's right. Being like, this is a fucking warrior right here.

This is a grind set. This is a grind set. Never stop working. Never stop the commitment. But why don't you also start having that debate because I would like to be on the side of the NFTs and be like, no, it's football. This is what we do.

Well, also, if you look. This is what we do. Well, also, if you look at it from like a zoomed out perspective, this guy's laying in bed watching football. Yeah. Which rocks. It's our job. We just go couch. This is the best.

Like, I should be so lucky. Most, I'd say 99% of people listen to this podcast. We quit their jobs tomorrow if it meant that their job would now become laying in bed and watching football. Oh, in a second. That's, I mean, this is the time of year where we have to, like, as much as I get a little anxiety of like, oh, like I'm not going to be around on some days, like this is no, everyone wants our job because we get to just watch every game on something. But we have to fucking back.

But we have to sit up in chairs. That's true. Like, like, like, child, like, child laborers and bat, oh, in chairs. That's true. Like, like, like, child laborers. And bat, oh, the horse. It's tough. We are no different than the miners, the nine year old miners. It is a grind. Like 1902.

So America was America. So, this is, it's a great picture. We can only hope that that Darryl Bevel becomes the first coach on the, on the sidelines wearing an eye patch. Yes. We almost had it with Mike Zimmer a few years ago. When he got you remember his eye just get it kept getting worse and worse and worse. Yes. He never stopped watching film. Yes. I would love it if Darrell Bevel week one on the sidelines wearing a pirate's eye patch.

I mean, I would put a future in the dolphins at that point. Yeah. That's I mean, they're they're willing to risk it all. Yeah. In every capacity. All right. Other things. I'm not going to be so excited. Am I back on football? Do I do it this season every capacity. All right, other things, I'm just so excited. I'm about to back on football guy duty this season. No, who's doing it? I think we're just gonna say football guy stories. Okay, we're not gonna do a,

we're not gonna do official football guy of the week. We're just gonna be like, this guy right here is probably football guy of the week. Yeah, good, good, good question though, Jake, because we also, we're gonna change a couple of other things up. We're gonna do on Fridays, the preview, we're gonna preview every game instead of doing a four picks each. What we're gonna do is just everyone we're gonna preview every game normally and then at the end everyone's gonna give their best pick spread and total and we're and and there can't be any duplicates. That

will be the rules. So we'll go around in a circle. If your pick gets picked, then you got to go. And then we'll, we have the punishment of a one hour set in Las Vegas for the Super Bowl live show streamed. I was actually no joke. I was walking. I was at the zoo with my kids. And there was a guy doing magic. And I was in back of my head. I was like, I might have to come back here and get this guy to teach me something. I might have to, he was doing a floating table, it was

awesome. Magic would be a good idea also just getting like a reptile handler or a bunch of animals to come out. Yes. And he just have animals join you. Releasing just a bunch of crickets. That would be great. Yeah. Bees. I release bees is bees. Here's my show. Yeah. Everyone be careful. I mean, it would be great. All right. What other things, any other stories that we should talk about? Good, Max.

We're just ready for football. I'm good, thank you. We all believe in the Lions on Thursday night, which is terrible for the Lions. I'm going back on the, on the Grimland over three and a half fuel goal bets. Last year, it was plus money and hit at like 71%. It was the best bet that ever made in my life. Yeah. So we're gonna ride it.

We're gonna ride it over fuel goals and the line's money line. He hangs back on his hungry dog. I saw him tweet that. It triggered me a little because you know he's just gonna pick against our teams every week. Oh, of course.

Yeah. I know he's gonna take the card on this week one. I know it. I know it. I know it was a, it might be the hunger song in the league. Shut the fuck up. You're such a on this week one. I know it. I know it. I know it. I know it. I know it. I know it. I know it.

I know it. I know it. I know it. I know it. I know it. I know it. I know it. I know it.

I know it. I know it. I know it. I know it. I know it. I know it. I know it. I know it. I know it. I know it. I know it.

I know it. I know it. I know it. I know it. I know it. I know it. I know it. I know it. I know it. Picks yeah, you can fade somebody. Yes, you can't you just can't do but can so if I'm like if my first pick is the Commanders minus seven no one else can pick the commanders minus seven so at the end of the year we're gonna have to I'm thinking there's gonna be like strategies of like if you're trying to catch someone just fading whatever they pick No matter you're getting way too ahead of yourself. I know just remember we all suck So we're all gonna be like 40% at the end of the year

Is that every single bad here? I'm commander's minus seven. Can I just say that? Will you allow me to take command to minus? Who gets to go first? I already put it in we have to go first This is my this is my makeup for Texas tech Double and down. Yeah commies are bust. Okay. Well, hopefully you get first pick. All right. Now Hank's gonna just take the command. He would never. Hank would never do that. Yes, he would. He would do that to you. Hank loves plus signs. I'm so excited for football on the golf course and on his bets. Let also for people who don't know new listeners, Mondays shows no guest will be all football

all the time. We go through every single game, which is great because you know, there's a lot of a lot of teams that don't get any shine in the national media. They just get forgotten after like two weeks, basically the entire NFC South. Yeah, we we find a way to make jokes about those teams for the entirety of the year. And it's great. And I'm very excited Sunday. What are you guys going to wear on Sunday? Talks. We're going to eat. What are you going to eat on Sunday? Talks. What are we gonna eat on Sunday? I'm gonna wear a tux and I'm gonna choose sticks. We do have to figure out what we're gonna eat all day. Because it's a big, like you can't fuck up the menu for week one.

This is a conversation that needs to be happening all across America with everyone in their friends. This is important. I think either chicken tenders, chicken tenders or you're gonna have two meals. Yeah, well maybe three. I like bacon ranch subs. I like eating like a combo. I like eating, what is it?

What is the big cat combo? I don't even know that existing. Be honest. Until I saw the ad. I'm not sure yet. I like having one slice of pizza in between the early and the late games. Just a little pizza that just out that we can nosh out.

Yeah, it keeps you awake. It keeps you going in between the games. Yeah, these are things that we have to think about. I like a root beer. Can I get a root beer? I would also like a root beer. Okay, let's get some root beer. I was like a Kai combo as a choice of cheese stick,

fries and a drink. All in one. That's, you know, big cat loves that. Yeah. What is it, fries? I'm just, cheese stick of choice, fries and a drink. That is so insane, it just might work. Yeah, a sandwich, fries and a drink. I'm that is so insane it just might work.

Yeah, a sandwich fries and a drink. It was a real big. A hell of a deal and everyone's gonna go get a big cat combo. It was a marketing wizards. If it was a real big cat combo, it would be two subs. One for the one you put in the fridge. So you need a halftime. If you want to get wild with it, get the big cat combo,

but make it PFT style, which is where you take the fries fries and you put them on the sandwich. Oh, I like that Yeah, I like that. Yeah, part of my she's safe calm. There we go the plug God added again Okay, let's do hot sea cool throne and then we have Pete Prisco Daven cook Jimbo's and The worst draft we've ever done, the pancake draft, pancakes only. So it's gonna, we're giving shine to the offensive lineman. We all drafted five offensive linemen.

It was a struggle. It was a struggle. I forgot field yates told us that offensive lines are pretty weak right now. So it's actually not us. It's the lead. That's the only reason why we're able to name five guys. Yeah, exactly. All right.

Climmson fans were like, oh, thank God you guys recorded, you know, before the game ended, we should, you go, but then we should, we should bury Clemson.

Yes, so Duke, be Clemson upset, uh, and then close game though, right? No, not even close. Oh, but Clemson got the over. No, they didn't. Oh, 28 seven. Oh, at least Duke didn't storm the field on them. They did. Oh, 27. Oh, that's death. Duke didn't storm the field on them. They did. Oh, no. And then afterwards, Ryle Leonard, the quarterback,

got a great, great touchdown, running touchdown. He was doing a press conference or interview after the game and said, Professor Taylor, if you're seeing this, please let me turn in my homework late, because it's due tonight, I think at 12th. Oh, and then Professor Taylor, which if you haven't seen the picture look him up, he just says the most professor looking.

Do Professor Taylor of all time? Of all time, he said, West two Williams and the other linemen who were in the class, they said they prepared ahead of time. So why didn't the quarterback? Oh no. No way man, no extensions. Just remember that.

What a dickhead. Yeah. What an absolute dickhead. That's the most duke story ever with the exception of Duke winning at football. Yeah. What a dickhead. Yeah. What an absolute dickhead. That's the most duke story ever with the exception of Duke winning at football. Yeah. What a fucking asshole. I don't like this guy.

You know what that tells me? That tells me that that Riley Leonard was not prepared to win. No. That tells me he thought he was gonna lose and then he'd have time after the game to send it in. Yeah. Clubs and though, done, dabbo.

It's very, very, very, very, I know Clemson fans will get upset. You have to understand, dabbo is not a likable guy. Uh, you had your run and it does, it is kind of nice. If dabbo didn't say all the stuff about NIL and transfer portal, I would feel a little bit worse, but he's so resistant to change when college football has so drastically changed in the last five years. It's kind of great to be like, dude, all you had to do was embrace it and realize that everything is changing around you. You got to change. Like Nick Saban has always changed. Yeah, so I mean, dabbo doesn't want to change. No. And so he's not going to, if he did change, I'll say something nice about Dabo.

He's not being as big a hypocrite as I expected him to be. Yeah. So when he said, like, I didn't want to change, I don't want college football to be run by money. I'll quit. Yeah, he didn't quit, but he did quit trying to do everything that he can to win. Right. So he's not using the transfer portal.

He doesn't like the mentality of just jumping around when you get upset. But along with that comes losing. I also, the one thing I don't like whenever we talk about college football, it's a little different than the NFL where like the head coach is recruiting the players. He's getting the best players.

So when people like, oh, it's not so easy. Like you don't have Trevor Lawrence and Dishon Watson. Well, Davo does deserve credit for getting those guys. It's kind of like the Dion, when people are like, oh, well, he had better talent in Jackson State than everyone else. Okay, isn't that, that's the point, right?

That goes along with you. You want to, you want to get the best player. Now you have to ask, was Brent Finnebles, was he, was he the real mastermind behind some of the questions? Because I feel like you could make that argument. Yeah, I think I might make that argument actually. Yeah, I wouldn't make that argument. I'll make the argument because when Brent Thinibault's

left Clemson started to suck. Yes. So I just want to leave you with one last dabbo quote, how quickly we forget, I think this was just last year is in December, we built this program on NIL. We really did, when he said, it's probably different from what you're thinking, though. We built this program in God's name, image, and likeness. Yes. All time quote. Yeah. Oh, dabbo. He's just corny. That's really what it comes

down to. It's hard to root for a guy who's that corny, you know? And also some people bring up the fact that they weren't paying God. Yeah, Dabo also They were using gods in an image and likeness. That's that's worse than anything else I think he was paying God because he was doing baptisms after practice, right? Yeah, that's flashing a little splash No water. Dabo also has the Like a treasure trove of memes that come back at him the the L running out with the L That's a memes class. That's the L running out with the L. That's a memes classic.

Memes classic running down the hill before his whole team, him doing the TikTok, the Hickory Dickory Doc, Abba's on the TikTok. Yeah. Like all these just come flooding on the timeline and it's just a lesson to all the coaches out there. If you're ever gonna stop recruiting and doing transfer portal in NIL, try not to be on TikTok as well.

Yeah, good point. So it's a very, very niche advice. Did you see that dabbo was upset because of how far the locker rooms are at Duke from the field? Oh, no. So he was starting to blame that. I like that. And now that dabbo's the last guy that you do that

because he makes his team get off of bus at the top of a hill and then follow him sprinting down it to go onto the field. I kind of sprinting down it to go on to the field. I kind of the journey from the locker room to the field should not have an impact for that team. Yes, I kind of like though, like it's back to the Shane Beamer blaming the guys, the chain gang eating hot dogs. I kind of like when these coaches just become such like obvious babies, because we know they're babies. But when they show their colors like that, it does tickle me a little. What's that was buyout right now?

Oh, oh, oh, let's look that up. I mean, the thing is, he is, he did win two national titles. Yeah, and he's not going anywhere. He won eight clubs in, Clubson was not good, or they couldn't get over the hump for the longest time. He went and built that program to an insane level. So he does, it's not that he's a bad coach. Some people would also point to the defensive line

that one year having a bunch of those PED positive tests. That's something interesting. All right, we'd want to go to draft my kicker. I'm taking Jake Elliott. I'm doing a draft right now. Fuck yeah. Yeah, cause I just don't recognize it. $64 million buyout.

$64 million. Word on the street is, what I'm hearing, Big Cat, and NCAA circles is that Clemson is considering a buy out. $64 million. Word on the street is what I'm hearing Big Cat in NCAA Circles is that Clemson is considering a buyout. I like that they also detailed in the buyout here, like it almost, like as if it gets cheaper, it's $64 million this year. It drops to $60 million in 2024, and then get this.

This is discount. $57 million in 2026. I think they're gonna wait through this season. That's, he's not gonna lose his job. No, he's not gonna lose his job. But it is fun to, it's fun to root against that, but when he loses. Sorry, Clemson fans, but you knew that.

It's part of winning. I'm a cox man. It's part of winning. If you win, the pendulum swings back. Okay, Hank, you're cool to run. I cool to run his pettiness. Oh, this league, Alabama. Okay, thank you, Cool Tour. I cool Tour was petting us. Oh, this league, Alabama, Texas, big match up this weekend.

Last year, they played, and Alabama's band did not travel to Texas because the Longhorns only gave their band Upper Deck seats. And now Alabama's doing the same thing. They said all 5,000 visitor tickets, which include seats for the band will be in the Upper Deck. I love a good band rivalry. I really do. You remember a couple years ago when, when produce giant ass drum couldn't fit into the stadium. Yeah. So they had to leave the giant

drum. The big drum. Yeah. The big drum. Yeah. Yeah. I love, I love band wars. Yeah. Band people are the horniest. Oh, for sure. Yeah. It's not just the American pie, like trope. It's, I think Wisconsin had a huge scandal. I like right around when I was there. Just dildos and shit or hazing. So if you if you think that Northwestern football had a hazing issue, look at band culture across America. Mm-hmm. I think they should just show up and and go harder than ever. Yeah. Yeah. Alabama just not showing up the or no Texas not showing up last year. It's kind of late. No, Texas showed up last year. Texas is home. Because it was an old band and not traveling.

Yeah, so yeah, I agree with you. The Texas Longhorn band should just say, fuck it. We're going anyways. Make them kick you out. I also, I stand with bands in college football. I think it's a great part of the game. Yeah. I love hearing when like Oklahoma or USC gets rolling and they just play that over and over

and over. It's how you know you're watching college football. Yeah, it's great. No, you don't like it? The halftime, I mean, it is what it is. The halftime I don't care about. No one watches the halftime show. Like the end between plays, like, yeah, the FSU war chance.

Is that Florida? That's kind of. Is that LSU? No. What's kind of. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Do do do do. No. Is it LSU? No. What's the mess? That's a that's Narcos. Yeah. Wait. That's a bag. Texas goes. Da da da da da da da da da. Yeah. Boomer's turner is the what do they play play they play the I always fuck this up with USC No, that's super That's no that's Superman. I think they do I need to listen to boomer sooner real quick. It's Jurassic Park. Yeah, I was gonna say yeah, that's definitely Star Wars Star Wars. There's a lot of intro.

I had the first note right. Every first down when they're scoring 60. All school fight songs are kind of the same. They're all very similar. I think they all have very similar chord progressions. When you play with the trumpet and the trombone, they They're all very similar. I think they all have like very similar core progressions. I'm gonna get to work on them. Well, when you play with the trumpet and the trombone, they kind of all blend together.

Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Either you're doing college football, touchdown or SCA. I was really nothing else. Both the great things, you know, for everything. That would be great if one team did a SCA. They usually do. If you want to build what for their touchdown song.

Yeah, if you watch March Madness, though, every band, they're're like okay, let's do a fun one and they play real big fish. Yeah, yeah, or take on me. Oh, this is a big fish version of take on me. Who's who's cool throne is it? As my cool throes. Oh, Jesus. My the one whose diary that but oh, okay, talks about that. You want to talk about it again? I just wrote unidentified of it's a boy or girl. Oh, so you were on that? You were on that early. Okay. Pifty, your hot seat cool throwing. My hot seat is Obama. Yeah.

Obama's on the hot seat. Friend of the program, long time, Stouley Tucker Carlson is having a guy on his show. What's that? I thought Obama was the... Obama also, long time, Stouley. Long time, Stouley. And AWL.

Yeah. So Tucker's having a guy on his show tonight that claims that he had sex with Obama back in 1999. So Jake, we have to ask, does it matter if Obama had sex with this man in 1999? It does not matter. Good news for everyone. Jake will be watching the entire interview

and giving us spark notes on Friday's show. Yep, so you guys are giving me a call on. So I want all the details. Yep. I'm gonna go in fresh, open mind. I don't know if he's gay or not. If he's had sex with this man or not. Jake, you have to just give us the facts. Yeah. Lay him out for us. And we will then make a decision. I have not made up my mind. Number one about whether or not they had sex, too, whether it matters. Right. So I need you to update me on that. I'm waiting for facts to come out. How do we want this presented? Fact is just spoken or?

We just spoken spreele. Spoken's good. I don't know what kind of one PowerPoint. One slide doesn't matter. No, I know you got to do it. You got to tell us the story about what happened. Yeah, yeah, but what yeah, what's his deal? Top bottom who's, you know, he's gonna go into detail. I assume.

Yeah, maybe make me a PowerPoint for Friday. Yeah. Yeah. I'd like to see a PowerPoint. Okay. Thank you. We cover it all on the show. Okay. You're cool throwing PFC. My cool throne is Lian France. Leon. I don't know how you pronounce it. Leon. I'm gonna go with Leon. Leon. Oh, oh, oh, oh. It's a good sports down Yeah, it's confirmed a good sports down So they lost against Paris, I sure man in the farmers league four to one

It was a home loss and then after the match They made their players stand on the field while their fans got microphones and berated them Yes, the coach K and the players had to sit there and listen to the fans tell them that they stunk that they were their fans got microphones and berated them. Yes. For their performance. The coach, okay. And the players had to sit there and listen to the fans tell them that they stunk, that they were embarrassment to the Jersey, which is awesome. I know I don't care about French soccer, but I do care about American sports and accountability. I would love to see this in the NFL. Yes.

How great would that be? Yes. If Boltman was out there just berating Brandon Staley for not going for a more fourth down afterwards. Yes, we need that accountability. It's important. Awesome. I mean, it should just be a fan press conference. It should be a fan press conference that the players have to listen to. And yeah, you are allowed to, if you're not even a fan, if you're just a gambler that lost money, you're allowed to publicly air your grievances with Todd Gurley for taking a knee. Yeah. Yeah, just just rip into him. I love it I love this. It's such a fun video

All right, my hot seat is the angels for two reasons one is Lucas G. Alito who was an angel when the angels were trying to go all in at the deadline is the first player since I think it's 19 I The first player since, I think it's 19, I think it was actually 1898. I got to find it. He's pitched, he's given up three eight earned runs for three different teams this year. Pretty impressive. That is pretty cool. Hard to do.

He's done it three different times, three different teams. He started on the white socks, went to the angels. Now is on the guardians. The last one to do it was Bill McGee, Bill McGee, who you probably all know, and Bill McGee is also, he did it in 1897. Bill McGee's also famous for just disappearing. No one knows where Bill McGee went.

He was just living, he retired from baseball, was living with his wife and kid, and then never came back. And if you look up Bill McGee's age, it says that he's 148 years old. I have to imagine that it was pretty easy to do that back then. Yeah.

People could just move, you move like two towns away. Yeah, you're just like, no idea what happened to that guy. Going off for cigarettes. Yeah, on the horse. And then the angels also, because they had picture day today, and they had a body double for Shohei O'Tani. That seems racist.

Well, it was actually a white guy. Okay, that's not racist. Okay. That's actually, that's very funny. I think they literally were, now I'm glad that they did that. Yeah, I think when they did body double, I think it was literally a guy standing in a full uniform that they were going to then just put in Shohei Otoni. Okay, I like that.

Yeah, I thought the same thing at first is like, wait, what the fuck? And then I saw the guy because they like because you could only see the back of him walking out of the clubhouse, and then they escorted him out of the stadium. I think, that's pretty sick though, whoever got to be the body double for show. There's a picture of him. Oh, there is.

Oh, yeah, he's a white guy, right? Yeah. Yeah, that guy looks nothing like Shohei O'Connor. No, so I think they're just doing a full Photoshop. Cause I thought, my mind went to the same place. I was like, what the fuck? So where was Shohei? Injured.

He can't stand for a picture. No, his arm. Sometimes they don't like, they just like go off to rehab or something. I don't know. He's pretty sure he's playing again. Yeah, he's hitting. Yeah, but he wasn't there.

Either way, they're a clown organization through and through. My cool throne is Max's favorite player, Tray Turner, because he just went on a paternity leave, which is not remarkable except for the fact that it's exactly nine months to the day that he signed his $300 million contract. That is the best sex of all time. I'm actually surprised that that resulted in pregnancy. Yeah, too. I would figure he'd be using all the holes. Well, maybe doggie. Yeah, doggie. You usually gets pregnant. It shoots it deep. Yeah, reminder for when he comes back for you guys to spend on him. They're the Homer. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Baby bump reel in baseball. I don't know.

I'll also just hit the home run every game now. Oh, after you cheered for him, every single game he hits home. Wow. Is that true? Because you also claim that the Phillies were the hottest team in baseball since the All Star break. And then I looked it up. I was like, I think the Cubs are better and you were way wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong. Okay. But Phillies are playing a good baseball right now. Either way, trade turner, uh, having team in sports, right? Three, yeah, hottest team in sports. Having $300 million sex, that rules. Like, that was awesome. It is pretty good. Yeah. Good for him. Congrats, Trey. Very happy for you all your accomplishments. Biggest fan.

Pottery leave. You should probably be back tomorrow. I miss you. But that's fine. All right, Trey Turner has hit three at the last four games. He's hit a home four at the last five. He's hit a home run. That's pretty good. But before that, he hadn't hit a home run in a month. So every game, that's not true. Has he done any cool slides this year? Oh, no, he had a couple. I love Tray Turner's cool slides.

Since his standing ovation, he's been insane. Yeah, no, he actually, Max is sort of right. He's hit, looks like seven home runs in the last eight games. That's pretty crazy. Good job, Max. Thank you. Fact checked? crazy. Good job, Max. Thank you. Fact checked? Correct.

Jake finishes off. My hot seat is us as football fans. Why? Because unfortunately, Chris Mortensen is stepping away from ESPN. Oh. People use the word legend all the time. He is a legend in the football media game. Jake's trying to take our 500 out of 100 excitement to $4.99.

Thank you, Jake. No, you're right. I mean, Chris Mournson, the legend, living legend. Great guy. This is just like the most exciting time. And you're like, I was just like pumped for a flip. I was pumped to like take my shirt off and Mournston and beat my chest tomorrow.

He deserves a tribute on the show. Good job, Mort. Mm. Ha ha ha ha. Send him off like a king. Yeah, I like more. I like more. He is a legend.

I just like, he shouldn't have retired right before football season. He should have retired right after the draft. And we would have been able to be like, Mort, we miss you. We love you. Great job. Yeah. He did it right before football season. Any news right now minus diary on an airplane is just a speed bump to Thursday night. It's truly does not even like register for you

I should give her lap dance. Right, I know. You should ask her if you do a lap dance. Yeah. Oh, I'll get her out of the habit so fast. She'll be like, I wasted my life as a nun. How many listeners do you think we've lost on this episode specifically?

You haven't even got to the pancake. I think Sister Jean would find me attractive. Clubs and fans are gone. People who are like, I don't wanna hear diaries offer 15 minutes. People who love religion. And again, we have not gotten to the bank. It's perfect.

It says nothing to do with sister jeans more. And I'm not talking about anyone who's a family member of more. I'm not talking about her religion. I'm just saying she would maybe think I was a fox. Yeah. Listen, if you fucked sister gene, that would be a hell of a story. It would be, maybe the biggest, maybe the biggest sports story ever.

Let's fucking just be honest right now. It would be a hell of a story. It would be maybe the biggest, maybe the biggest sports story ever. Let's fucking just be honest right now. It would be a hell of a story. I mean, even if you got head from her. What is going on? The camera, the Barcelona Fates, I'm right now. It pans up into the stands and sister Jean and I'm like on my knees like Kanye West's wife

Okay, we now welcome on one of our favorite guests, the fiery Italian we call them. It's actually ends the four day Italian banishment from part of my day for Tom Fern for Tom Pranelli screwing all overall our listeners,

but it is Pete Prisco from CBS Sports. He is one of our favorite guests. He watches the film and we're here to do an NFL preview as his tradition with Pete Prisco. Let's start here, Pete. Give me your seven teams in the AFC that are going to make the playoffs. I want to start there and then we can work around the league

But it's a good litmus test to see where where your head's that going into the season Okay, well start in the east where everybody else starts because it's Aaron Rogers division Buffalo will win the division. There's still the best team. Okay, and the jets have to learn how to win They haven't won anything. He has, and some of those old guys he brought with him from Green Bay, they have, but the majority of those guys have to learn how to win. So I'm picking Buffalo in a division. Jacksonville's a slam dunk in their division.

Hmm. And I, hmm, you went, hmm. Yeah, no, keep going. I'll, I'll, we'll go back to that. Okay, I just want, you know, I just, it's a good way to start off to see who you like. Yeah, no keep on. I'll we'll go back to that. I just want you know, I just it's a good way to start off You like yeah When they're division and the bangles are when they're divisions. So there's the four division winners the wild card teams will be the chargers

The Browns And the jets wow interesting so but wait you said that the jets have to learn how to win first. Pete, you know football, you've been around this league. I've always been told that first, you have to learn how to not lose before you learn how to win. And the jets don't know how to not lose yet. Correct. They haven't won anything. It was last time the jets were relevant. And granted, getting their Rogers changes, the dynamic of the team but you have to learn how to win big games close games and playoff games they've done none of it. How do you learn how to win? What does that look like?

You do it once and then you come back the next year and then you really can do it. Okay. For example, yeah. Jacksonville learned how to win last year. Okay. So all right, let's start with Jacksonville. I got a question for you because I know you're high on the Jags this year. You're jagging off. Now, obviously they went to the playoffs last year. They win a playoff game. I'll just play devil's advocate for a second. Okay, and then you can tell

me where I'm wrong because you watched the tape. The Jaguars were three and seven last year going into their buy week. They won a game against the Ravens, which was an impressive win. They got absolutely smoked by the Lions. They then beat a Tennessee team that was on a downward spiral. They have that kind of weird lucky win against the Cowboys. They beat a terrible Zach Wilson, a terrible Houston team, and then almost lose to Josh Dobbs and the Titans in a win and get in game to end the season to finish 98 and win the worst division in football. What, what, like, did you watch that you're like, this now is a slam dunk because it felt like if you watch it and you're like, oh, yeah, they played the Chiefs well in the playoff

game. They made some noise. They were pretty close to not even making the playoffs last year. Correct. But remember, it took it to mid season for the Urban Meyer Anima to work for them. Okay. It didn't get it all out until mid season. And finally, by mid season, it was gone. All of it. All the crap that he brought was gone. So then they went forward. Trevor Lawrence was comfortable and they became a good team.

But here's why they're really good team this year to keep an eye on the go to the Super Bowl, which I think they're going to, by the way. Here's why. Look at the schedule. They play six games in their own division, which is not good. They play four against rookie quarterbacks. They play against rookie quarterbacks they played they played Carolina so they have Bryce Young. There's another rookie quarterback. Desmond Riders barely played. Baker may feel Derrick Carp. That's their non-division opponent in that division. And their tough games are at home too, right? Well, you get Kansas City when it'll be 140 in week two. You get Buffalo in London, which is actually a road game for the bills.

You'd rather play Buffalo in London than playing in Buffalo. That's true. So the schedule's favorable. If they don't win 13 games as a disaster, by the way, they're going to slow 500 points. Whoa. 500 points and 13 games minimum. Wait, you, PFT told me that you were high on the jacks i didn't think it was going to be like this oh yeah he knows super

balls are they gonna for a ball are they gonna win the super bowl peat is that what you said no oh okay oh well man that was close to be crazy well i mean but their their offense is what what Calvin Ridley will mean that that offense is going to change the way they play okay and they're gonna score a ton of points I've never been this high on the jaguar's ever that offense is going to change the way they play. Okay. And they're going to score a ton of points. Have you ever been this high on the Jaguars ever? In 99 when they choked. Okay, what about their defense, Pete?

Well, okay, they have two high picks as pass rushers. Travelle Walker, number one overall, Josh Allen was top 10. It's time. And when you play with the lead, your pass rushers become better. They'll be good enough on defense. They're not going to rushers become better. They'll be good enough on defense. They're not going to be great on defense.

They'll be good enough on defense. Okay. That's fascinating to me, Pete. Jaguar is super bowl. Yeah, because this is now I asked the AFC question because it is absolutely stacked. And you have, you know, burrow, Alan, my homes, all these guys. You left out the Ravens, the Steelers and the dolphins of the playoffs. Why are those three teams notphins of the playoffs.

Why are those three teams not going to make the playoffs? Well, I think those divisions are going to cannibalize each other. And that's another reason why Jack's voice is a big advantage. Look at the AFC North. I'm with you. Any one of those teams can win it. So they're going to beat each other up. The AFC East, Miami, Buffalo, the Jets.

They're going to beat each other up out west the chargers are a really good team and then who knows what Sean Payton will do with the Broncos I don't think they're going to be great but they they can be better so that's why Jacksonville has a big advantage over the rest they're not they might not be the best team but all you have to do is get home field advantage or win two playoff games. Yeah so Pete talk to me about the Broncos because you are noted Russell Wilson hater. You think that he's the worst quarterback in the NFL

that he never should have been drafted? No, that's what you said. I read your articles and you watch the tape. You watch the tape confirmed, but you don't think that Sean Payne can fix him. You probably think he's just, is Russell Wilson unfixable? Yeah, to ever be the quarterback that everybody thought he was,

yes, he's never gonna be that. He never was that. He was a good, functional quarterback who had the top rank scoring defense four straight years in the league. The last team to do that was the 50s Browns, which was a Dynastie. They made it easy on him. Then he had a couple of good years and then he was done. So with the Broncos, though, they're going to have one of the best defenses in the league, though. Yeah, I wouldn't say that. So if if Russ Wilson can be average to above average, the Broncos should be a good team. If he's above average, there'll be a better team.

They can get nine games. Okay. He was at his aster last year. He was. He was. He was. He was. So in the in the AFC, what if if not the Jags who who is the pick?

Because I don't you're really way too high on the Jags. I'm gonna say it right now. Maybe we'll play this back and you were the true saver. I don't say we're the best team right now. Right. The schedule will make them get the number one seat. Okay. And if they play the chiefs.

Buffalo. Buffalo and the chiefs are gonna be right in the mix again. Why everybody is sleeping on the bills, I have no idea. I don't get it. PFT and I actually had this conversation because obviously our listeners don't love the fact that we love Josh Allen so much and we are biased towards Josh Allen on the bills. But I don't remember a team that was as dominant as they were last year where they were 13, what they were 14 and 3 or 13 and 3 because they didn't play that game against the Bengals, where their losses were by a score or less.

And yes, their game against the Bengals was atrocious in the playoffs, but that doesn't mean they're all of a sudden a bad team. They were dominant last year. By the way, I was on that Josh Allen bandwagon with you guys a long time ago. That's facts. When he came out of Wyoming, that's facts. And everybody killed that kid. Just they were just brutal on him. And so what he's done is amazing. And I agree with you.

Look at that team. He's going to be that much better because he was good last year. People think he was he turned the ball over because they ran up too much. That's part of the problem. They'll be better running the ball. Kincaid will help open up the pass in game in the middle of the field. Then you go to the defense. Leslie Frazier was Vanilla. He played a Vanilla defense. They didn't attack. Sean McDermott will attack more. And I think that's going to be better for the defense. Sleeping on the bills is just dumb. They're going to win the division and be in the mix again. They go to the Super Bowl. I like it. You didn't mention the Patriots. You haven't said the word Patriots it. You mentioned every other team in that division. You're totally out on the

Patriots. I mean, you look at that roster. It's bad. The offensive line isn't good. The question about Mac Jones, the receivers, I like the Mario Douglas, but I think it's going to be a good player, but he's a rookie. Defense, they have some talent on that side of the ball. They'll be feisty, but you see mac jones taken an enormous step forward no and so they're the worst quarterback team in the division which is going to be a problem for them so hot seat bill bell check that's ridiculous

that guy that guy you know that guy you just said jacks are going to go to the super ball you're ridiculous that's way more ridiculous that is ridiculous they're going to fire billbell No, I just said hot seat That doesn't mean they have to fire him. It just means that we get to talk about them firing hot seat He can he can you know what he has to do if craft came in his office and said hey We're thinking about put you know making a change was obviously just point to all the skins on the wall and say look What I got you here buddy? Come on Okay craft could go in there be like hey, Bellicac check your fire and Bell check would be like, no. Yeah.

And Rob, craft would be like, okay, fair enough. Yeah. Good talk. Probably seeing that here. Probably seeing that here. I'm gonna let you craft. Yeah. Part of my take is sponsored by BetterHelp.

That's BetterHelpHELP.com slash PMT. And now here's more Pete Prisco. All right, so what about a team that I'm high on that you don't have in the playoffs, the Baltimore Ravens. I do think Todd Munkin and that offense are going to be humming. They finally have receivers, Zay Flowers, Odell Beckham. We'll see what happens with everyone else. I think Rashad Bateman's already hurt.

Why are you saying the Ravens are not going to be a playoff team? I'm with you on the offense. I, Todd Munkins, a great offensive mind. I think he's going to really help Lamar Jackson become a better passer and you're right They're gonna score points. I worry about the defense. There's injuries in the secondary already. It's not a great secondary They need their past rushers like O'Jahbo to take the big step forward. Those are big questions So I worry about the defense not so much the offense. I'm with you. I think there's scored ton of points I think Lamar Jackson's gonna be phenomenal in that offense, but I worry about the defense. not so much the offense. I'm with you. I think there's scored ton of points. I think the large acts is going to be phenomenal in that offense, but I worry about the defense.

Okay. Okay. That's fair. Now on the NFC side of things, we can get your playoff teams in a second, but I just want to point out something that will be alarming to some of our listeners. You have the lions in your power rankings. Everyone pays attention to the Pete Prisco power rankings. Bible for me. You have the lines at 15. Ahead of the lines, you have the Packers. You put the Packers ahead of the lines. You put the Cowboys ahead of the lines. You put the Browns ahead of the lines. You put the Commanders ahead of the Detroit lines. We're Detroit lines supporters. We like Jared golf. We like their coach. It sounds like you're a hater, Pete. Why are you hating that? I'm not a hater.

And I, I'm with you on Jericho. In fact, you guys, one time I went there and talked to him in training camp, and he brought up an interview that I had with you guys. So he's, he's well aware. Yeah. Yeah. I, I love Jericho. I just think there's another team. What if they ever won? And you have to learn how to win. This is the year you, you try and figure it out. And then next year, I think they're won? And you have to learn how to win. This is the year you

try and figure it out. The next year, I think they're going to be a much better team. I almost respect what Pete's doing here. He's saying like, if you haven't, if you haven't already been good, then you're one year away. Yeah. And so you can always be one year late to supporting a team, but you're never going to be one year early. So he's not hating either. You know, he's like, no, yeah, right, I'm not hating. I just think the expectations are out of this world for that team. They really are. You have the jab bar is going to the Super Bowl. No, no one, no one. Yeah, this is why you're the best. All right, so give us the NFC playoff teams, which is definitely harder to do because it does feel like if you had I think the AFC has Probably 10 teams that I could see conceivably winning the Super Bowl the NFC might have two or three that I can conceivably see winning the Super Bowl So give us give us the seven playoff teams from the NFC

division winners Eagles Packers Yes, the packers are winning that division the 49ers and the Saints. Okay. That's a division winners. Okay. While card Dallas Washing kiss. Yeah, no peach right about all these takes peed is peed and the lions on the money. Okay, okay? What what is it with the commanders that you love? and the lions on the money. Okay. Okay. What is it with the commanders that you love? You look at that roster. That roster is loaded. And you look, if you can rush with a front four and chase Young's going to have a big year when he gets

back on that field, he's going to have a big year. That defense is going to be nasty. Forbes is really good at corner to elevate the back end. Curls the most under one of the most underrated players in the NFL. You go to the offensive side, they've improved the offensive line and the receivers are playmakers. And I think Sam Howes better than people give him credit for. Yep. I think he's going to have a good year for them.

He kept any worse than they were a quarterback the last couple years. Okay. True. I mean, Taylor Hancky was all right. Carson wins that. That was just a disaster He's painful to watch. He's not gonna play this here is he? No

Maybe maybe we're playing that spring league next next next year. Yeah, I'm actually with you on the commanders I think they're gonna be better than people think I disagree about chase young though I feel like the wheels are coming off with Chase Young. He can't stay on the field. I think it's been proven that Montess Wet is a more effective, more productive player than Chase Young when he's playing. And yeah, he's in a contract year, but I think in Chase Young's own mind,

he's almost like in take care of my body so I can cash in mode, but I don't think he's done that calculation correctly. Yeah, he hasn't done the calculation correctly. He hasn't been out there. He's on the field, he's done the get him. Yeah. He hasn't done the calculation correctly. He hasn't 13 sacks. He hasn't been out there. He's on the field. He's going to get him.

Yeah. OK. All right. So teams you left out, giants. You're not a believer in the giants. They've added Darren Waller. They obviously paid Daniel Jones. Brian Debel, I think, is a top 10, maybe top five coach

for just what he did last year. Why are you so low on the Giants this year? No, I'm not low on them. I just think that the vision's tough. If you're going to put Washington in, that means the Giants are out. I don't think both of them can be in. The Giants are going to win seven, eight games. They're going to be a competitive team.

I don't think they're going to be much worse, but they also have some issues. They got two rookie corners starting. That's tough. That's always tough. So there are issues with the giants. And by the way, I'm a big, table guy. I think he's a great coach. Okay. And now I don't want to ask this question, but I have to ask this question because I feel like you're going to give me an answer. I don't like Justin Fields. No, you're going to like this answer. Okay. I think this is the year before the year for Justin Fields. No, you're going to like this answer. Okay. I think this is the year before the year for Justin Fields. They added some weapons, they added some weapons for him.

He's going to improve as a passer. He's going to run less. Yeah. As the rushing yards come down, the passing yards go up, that's a good thing for a young quarterback. I love what they're headed. This is the year before the year. Do you know what's great about Pete?

We're doing this year's preview and next year's. We don't have to have him back on next year. He's giving us all the tips next year. You always got to peek ahead. Yeah. Come on. The latest thing is on. I mean, I do think he's gonna have a much better passing year

just because people obviously pick him apart. He's a controversial quarterback. But the fact that he was the guy he was throwing to last year, DJ Moore makes everything so much easier. And it also slots in the guys behind him to play their natural position of Darnell Mooney, Chase Claypool, you know, Cole, commit like I do think he's going to have a lot better year. I'm worried about the defense, the past rush, but I think Justin Fields, like he's going to do enough this year to get that extension and everyone's going to be like, yeah, this is the franchise

guy. I think he's a good passer when he has weapons. We saw that in college. For everybody, it picks him apart because he ran so much. Look, I hate running quarterbacks, but you have to do it at a necessity sometimes. He did. Now he'll develop and stay in the pocket and go through his progressions and his reads. Is rushing yardage will come down by two thirds. Okay. They're in the rush for 576 yards. And then what about the

Vikings and the Seahawks? You have them out as well. Two teams that made the playoffs last year. Well the Vikings won so many close games last year where they that good. You know when you win that many games everything goes your way I do like Brian Flores as a defensive coordinator but again Kirk Cousins in the big moments don't you worry about that if you're a Vikings fan they have to. Yeah but there's two sides to this Pete so you're you're saying that you don't trust the Vikings because they learned how to win too well last year. They spent all last year learning how to win right maybe they weren't that great but they got an A plus and learning how to win. So now they're educated in that.

Well, they won to get to the playoffs, but they didn't win in the playoffs. So they didn't learn how to win quite how to win a playoff game. Yeah, problem winning playoff games. He does have a problem with that. Yeah, what about the Cowboys? They know how to win regular season games. They don't know how to win playoff games. Does Dax suck?

No, he doesn't he doesn't suck, but this is a big year for Dax press God. It's a big year for Mike McCarthy They have to make the postseason. They don't make the playoffs. There's Mike McCarthy's probably gone and Dax press God is in trouble. So he has to play well. So I trust that defense But there's something about about the combo of McCarthy and Dax that just I feel like the wheels are gonna fall off this year. I feel like this is gonna be the end of this era for the Cowboys. Why does everybody pick Mike McCarthy apart? I mean, if you look at his record and the way he's had success over the course of his career, he's no different than Sean Payton and yet Sean Peyton's elevated up here and Mike McCarthy's down here. I don't know the answer to that. You know, it's fat. He's fat. He's a big guy. He's fat. So when he makes mistakes, he looks, he looks summer. Yeah. No, he has that look. Yeah, like like P.H.T. he's saying, when he, when he fucks up, he's fat and he has that look like he's just staring off into the distance

being like, what is going on right now? Sounds like there's like a tuba playing whenever he's on screen. Yeah. Boom, boom, boom. Mike McCarthy might be the most misunderstood guy in the NFL. Everybody, you look like you just described that he said, you're like that. Mike McCarthy's a tough guy from Pittsburgh.

He and what you think he is. Oh, no, I know he's tough. I'm just saying, look, it's just how the world works. When fat guys make mistakes, they get blamed a little bit more because everyone's like, look, his fat dumb brain isn't working. I have to deal with it all the time.

Yeah, me too. I've added my whole life. Yeah, little fat guy. Well, no, when you make a mistake, it's like, oh, the short guy's trying to take over Europe again. Yeah, that's, that's, that's's that's what you can. Yeah, yeah. All right. So why are you low on Gino Smith? I'm actually I've become a converted Gino Smith believer. His weapons are incredible. Uh, you know, DK, Tyler Locket, Jackson Smith and Jigre,

like they're going to be able to pass the ball. Why are you not believing? And by the way, the CEOX defense, like they have some phenomenal young guys on their defense. The young guy, yeah, they're young guys. And if they take the step forward and Geno plays like he did last year, they could replace one of those teams. I had a hard time, you know, with the last wild card team, they're going to be in the mix because I'm with you. But Geno's got his show. He can do it again. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. That's true. Can you give us a quarterback that maybe nobody is expecting anything out of that you think

is either going to take that next step or surprise everybody? I think Sam, how's going to surprise everybody? I do. Yeah. So did you watch this tape from North Carolina? Yes. So he had that really good second to last season and then they made him run the ball more in his last Ridiculous. I don't understand what they did with him. He's had playmakers outside

I never I never quite understood what they did with him. So I'm telling you he has a little chip on his shoulder too He's one of those guys. Yeah, the thing I don't record back as good a surprise everybody Jordan love Oh, okay, I don't like that. I don't like that the thing thing I don't like about Sam how those I don't know if you know this beat He doesn't eat red meat These are just appeals. Yeah, that's it's a big question We should do that in solidarity with our guys just stop me read me. I would never do that No, so he doesn't he doesn't need a lot of things though, right? Sam how Sam how I don't know I know that he is chicken

He eats a lot of chicken and he tried steak for the first time this off season He said it was okay, but he doesn't like he doesn't eat it eat it and I feel like that's a red flag for a quarterback He's trying to be healthy just in fields as a vegetarian I think isn't he eats fish now no big deal Oh, he does so he advanced to the to the war fish in the water. Okay. I get it how about shellfish does he eat that to? Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure he's he's housing some lobster every now and then. Would it crab going through your whole life eating leafy greens? Yeah, I mean, come on.

No way to live. No. What about what about Dishon? Are you a believer in Dishon? Did you last a week? No. Eating leafy greens? No, I don't I think about my diet and I'm like what there hasn't been a day in probably 20 years where I didn't have some type of meat. I don't eat a lot of meat. I'll be honest 20 years where I didn't have some type of meat. I don't eat a lot of meat, I'll be honest with you.

I don't eat a lot of meat. That's a lie. You get fat-shamed every Saturday by booger. Yeah, I know what he does, deal. It's bullshit, and that's a lie. Get a man to eat a couple donuts, booger. You wash your teeth with Italian sausage. I know you, Pete.

I know you well. He showers with gravy. Yeah. Oh, you guys went there. Well, actually, Pete, if you maybe if you ate some more meat, you'd be a little bit stronger. You'd be able to do more pushups. I've heard that your pushup needs to be hard anymore. I'm done with that. The doctor told me to quit it. Okay. All right. So wait, Pete, I want to do this real quick because you do watch the film and this is educational for our listeners and viewers.

Let's rank some position groups. Give me your top three offensive lines in the NFL. Eagles. Okay. The cowboys win their healthy. Okay. Everybody's gotta be healthy. The chiefs. Ooh, okay.

What about second? The chiefs' interior is outstanding. They paid a bunch of money for Juantel or right tack when they got a veteran a left tackled Smith So I think that that's one of the best lines in league are you concerned about the chiefs defensive line? Very much so if Chris Jones is not there Major problem because he's the game record makes everybody else better. They have problems And so yeah, if he's not there, very concerned. So it's a very, it's very concerning for you.

The Detroit lines also have a very talented offensive line. They're matched up against the Chiefs week one, but you're a Detroit lines hater, so you don't think that the lines have a shot. No, they have a shot, but I just think my home is gonna be my home, is Annie Reed's gonna be Annie Reed, they're gonna score both low to points. He proved last year he could throw us three at score points. That's true

All right, so give us the reverse actually let's do it this way bottom three offensive lines because these are the teams that We should all be selling on and fading because offensive line play is so important who have the three weakest offensive lines New England's one of them. Okay. They're line sticks Miami's line is concerning. Okay, and Tampa Bay Could be a problem. Okay. Okay. What about what about Dishon? You think that this is about back here for Dishon? I do I don't think it's gonna be Dishon from the Houston days in terms of what he does on the field and DeShawn from the Houston days in terms of what he does on the field and

But he's gonna be much better than the guy we saw last year that team has a ton of talent. Yeah, across the board Yeah, he plays anywhere close to what he did Which is why I think he will I think they'll be a playoff team. Okay. What about give us your best and worst defensive lines best and worst defensive lines. Best and worst defensive. Well, Arizona's defensive line is a problem, but you could say that about every physician with that team. I don't think you're in like a bad way.

Yeah, not in like a problem to game plan against. They're tanking. No, it's a bad way. They're tanking in Arizona. I don't care what they say. I'm gonna get rid of Kyle Murray and draft Caleb Williams. That plan. Yeah. When you think about Coach Ganon, do you think that that he's one year guy? He gives me one year vibes just from the get go. Yeah, but you know what? They said the same thing about Shane's stiking after his opening

press conference. I don't buy it all. I don't know how he portray himself as the team meetings and everything. Good to know. I don't. We have no idea. Okay. All right, other two, give us some more defensive lines, both good and bad. You defensive lines that are really good. Yeah. 49ers. Yeah.

Great defensive line. The Cowboys have a chance to be really good on the defensive line. Now the Parsons is playing with his hand down, most are on the edge. I'm just trying to think of the top of my head. Oh, the Jets. The Jets are loaded on the defensive line. Yeah.

And Quinty Williams is a superstar, but they have a ton of players they can rotate in and out of that. They're going to come after people. What do you think about the Jets offensive line? Problem. Problem. Yeah. Good problem.

You're asking an aging left tackle to hold up and You have macaque back then at right tackle, which is still a major question mark So they have issues on that offensive one. All right. Can you power rank the rookie quarterbacks? Oh one Bryce young Okay two from an excitement standpoint Anthony Richardson and then c j strut i i think i think that will have us i think c j strut will have the best year of the rookie quarterbacks i think price yon will have the best career of the

rookie quarterbacks why do you think that i think price yon has a lot he's it's gonna be tough for the panthers this year and i think c j strut is is gonna be better than in this year in this year only so i think and the rich and going to do, have like a Justin Field type of year where he rushes for 900 yards and makes plays that way. So from that standpoint, I think he's going to put up big numbers in the rushing game, which will help make him the better player than CJ Stroud.

Stroud's a better passer right now. Yeah. We're about the Steelers. We haven't really talked about the Steelers at all. It feels like they're flying under the radar that's here. Nobody expects anything out of them. People forget Mike Tomlin has never gone under 500. They're right there. I mean, they could, like I said, they could win the division. Anybody can win that division. I'm a big picket guy. And I think he's gotten a lot better. You saw that in the summer. He's much more confident. And I think they're gonna be, they can push for the division.

They can be a playoff team. It's just, you gotta put teams in and out. Could you guys have the Steelers in a playoffs? Yeah, and one of my picks that I did. Yeah, in the AFC, my playoff teams are bills, jets, dolphins, Steelers, Ravens, Bengals, Chargers, Chiefs, Titans and Jaguars. Those are my playoff games.

Yeah, yeah. It's gonna be a great year for the UFC. They're gonna be the first... It'd be like college football, everybody makes it. Yeah, there should be bowl games in the NFL. We've talked about that before. How great would be the tag in one game at the end of the season, yeah. It used to be a loser...

You know, there used to be a loser's bowl back in the day. A really? The third-place place game to play in that. It was a two losers from the conferences would go play a, play a loser bowl in the, in like Miami. Yeah. I, I, I love that idea. We shouldn't talk about bowl games around Pete because his team can't go to a bowl game. Oh, why not Pete would have. They're not very, well, they're not very good anyways. But even if you were good, you wouldn't go to a bowl game. Well, I wouldn't go to me. I wouldn't go to a bowl game. If you paid me to go to a bowl game, unless it's playing for a national championship or something, what are you going to go see the the test, the Tostitos hotdog bowl or whatever they call?

That'll be great. That sounds good. I would go to that. Don't you guys have a ball game? It sounds like an awesome mini-witement at Bob Evans, the Tostitos hot dog ball. Bulls are fun. Put a little hot dog in it. Yeah. Well, to be fair, we need big cats being a little bit unfair to you, Pete, because that's a self-imposed ball game suspension. So you guys would probably make one, but you're just saying, hey, for the record, we're

not going to go. They're not making one either. They beat Southern Utah 24-21 the other day. To win wins a win. Can you imagine going to that game? There was a 2 1 1 and a half hour delay. You're winning 24 to 7 or something and then then they come back after a two. It got over at 1 o'clock in the morning. Arizona time. All right. So so Pete, give me your, uh, your offensive player of the year and your defensive player. What like this? Is it MVP or offensive player of the year? Offensive player of the year.

He said the question correctly. Okay. Justin Jefferson will be the offensive player of the year. And Micah Parsons will be the defensive player. We're doing we are doing last year's picks this year and then we're previewing next year's picks this year. Yes. So, okay, for next year,

you really want me to go? Yeah. You got to peek ahead. It's like doing a salary cap. You got to look ahead. All right, so here's a question I got for you, Pete. What is the next, uh,

Zag in the league when it comes to how teams play, how do you see like some team figuring out a way to play against how football has gone where it's, you know, passing all the time and these wide open offenses. What, what is the, the antidote to that is, is there a team specifically and a scheme specifically that you see coming along the, the pipeline? No, running the ball is going to come back. Running backs aren't going to come back, but running the ball is going to come back. Everybody's played the schemes last year were off coverage. Make quarterbacks be patient. So what do you do? Pound it, pound it, pound it, pound it. And it doesn't necessarily have to be out of those bunched up formations,

but you run the ball, get them out of that defense and then throw over the top. So I think I think the running attacks will come back and bow a little bit this year. I like that. Yeah. Pete, you know, there was a lot of talk this off season about running backs and how it's the death of the position and they're not getting paid anymore. And everyone's wondering when did this happen?

How did this happen? It's actually you. You were the first person that I remember saying, never pay a running back any money whatsoever. Do you feel bad? You've taken food off of Jonathan Taylor's table? No, I said that what a decade ago, maybe even longer than that. They don't decide super balls. They just don't. They're interchangeable. And the great one isn't that much difference than the next guy down the list. It's just different. It's a different game now. I would just agree. Yeah. I'm not responsible. Yeah. They just caught up to me. The NFL GM is finally caught up to me. They

usually do. I'm a little ahead of them mostly. But think about this way. Derek Henry. If Derek Henry has, if he wasn't on the Titans for the the last three seasons they would be a bad team with an average running back but they had daryk henry who's the best in the league and they were a playoff team because of him and and they got what they have a parade in Nashville I miss that I miss a parade they don't win super balls I think the last first round pick to win a super bowl as a homegrown runner was Jamal

Lewis. Maybe I don't think he was a first round. I mean, it's been a long time. So when the Lions took Gibbs and the Falcons took Robinson in the first round. Did you throw up? Yes. It was disgusting. You take a running back that high.

Look, and they're good players. But what's the philosophy? Draftum, run him into the ground, and four years later you draft another one and don't pay that one. Look at the cheese. The cheese found Pateco in seventh ground and want a Super Bowl with them. You don't need a premier elite running back. And that's why they're not getting paid. Yeah. Who's the last guy to get paid? Elliot? Oh, well, Christian McCaffrey.

Oh, look out. Christian McCaffrey. Yeah. He's a little different that, which is why the Gibbs pick is interesting because he's an air back He catches the ball. They can slot him out. They can like McCaffrey does. It's a little different different style runner What's the team that everyone's low on that you could see maybe not maybe they're not even a playoff team but being they're better than what people are Prognosticating going into the season people are prognosticating going into the season. Greenback. Okay. That hurts. Okay. Why? Why do you like Jordan? I don't like that. You like Jordan love. Why do you like Jordan love? You know, his tape coming out was great. I'll be honest with you. I didn't love it.

I think sitting for three years has helped him. And going there and watching him practice this summer and I know it's his practice But he's got a different feel to him and then talking to the players. He's got a little of that crap inside of him that you didn't know he had So I think that combined with the fact he has a good arm. He's comfortable in the offense The defense is gonna be really good by the way And if the offensive lines, they selfie. And again, big if with Bok D'Aria left tackle, they're going to be good up front.

So I think it's, I think they have the talent to win that division. And Christian Watson is going to put up monster numbers. Yeah, he's a problem. He is a problem. I just, I keep going to the fact that you have the Jaguars and the Super Bowl this year. And Trevor Lawrence for MVP too. We love, we love Jag Jaguars and the Super Bowl this year. And Trevor Longs for MVP too. We love Jags fans. We do Jag off every year.

It seems like we Jag off and then they never finish. You know, we get close, but we never finish. And I hope that you're right for Uncle Chaps and the rest of Jaguar's nation out there. It will be very funny to see them in the Super Bowl. And if they want a Super Bowl, I feel like you have to give a ring to Urban Meyer. No, that's been the end of my work.

He's the architect of this team, Pete. He isn't the architect of the team. No, he isn't. He built this disaster. It was one of the worst NFL coaches I've ever seen in my entire life and the stories are just the endless that come out of there about that guy. Yeah, do you have an Urban Meyer story

that we haven't heard yet? Because I love whenever it feels like every six months we get another urban virus story. No, I mean, I know some, but I know my personal interaction with him wasn't great. Who was that? I went up there, I didn't know him. I didn't know him at all,

but I went up there and was gonna try and get him on camera for an on camera interview, and they didn't make them available. And what happened was they said, okay, you can walk over to them and say hello to them and to you know introduce yourself. So I walked over, I said, hey, I'm Pete Prisco, I shook my hand. I used to cover this team years ago. I used to live here for there where you live and just making small tarp. I said, I work with Brady Quinn who works with him at Fox. Oh, okay, okay. And then I was going to ask some football questions and he shakes my hand and he goes, I got a win and he ran off. Oh, I got a win. I got a win. I got a win and he ran off. That's great.

It was one of the most socially awkward guys I've ever talked to in this. I'm sorry using that to get out of conversations. Yeah, I got to go win. Hey, really? Sorry. Great talking to you, but I got to go win real quick. I'm like, what? I go, I'm like, I told a guy standing over there. I go, you can't believe you just did that to me. What an awkward man. All right, Pete. Well, we appreciate the time. We got to go win. Yeah, we got to go win. I got one last question. The rowback question. All right, show BACK.com. Use promo code take 20% off your first purchase. Q's, it's Polo's hoodies, joggerACK.com. Use promo code take 20% off your first purchase. QZips, Polo, Tzodi's, Jagger, shorts,

rowback.com, promo code take. Give us the final four and your Super Bowl champion because you have the Jags, but we don't know who's gonna win the Super Bowl according to Pete Prisco. My final four is the Jacksville Jaguars against the Buffalo Bills, the San Francisco 49ers against the Philadelphia Eagles. Okay. 49ers beat the Eagles in San Francisco

because they have a favorable division and Jacksonville beats Buffalo in Jacksonville. And then the 49ers Kyle Shanahan finally wins his ring and is anointed the last coach in the league Yes, okay, all right, I like it one bone to pick with you two All right, I made that comment about kickers on your show and next thing I know you're selling shirts with my slogan on it What was the slogan make your damn kicks make your damn kicks yeah, yeah, yeah Checks in the mail will send you a shirt. Yeah, what size you wear?

I rather the shirt. OK, well, great, because that check was going to be for like $30,000. No, it wasn't. I guess so poor, man. Too bad, Pete. You got the shirt. We'll make you an extra one.

I was like, do I never want to do it? Do I never do it? I got the shirt instead of the 30 grade. Yeah, well, throwing an extra shirt being like, I passed $30,000000 I pressed up 30,000 dollars and all I got was his shirt. It's perfect. It'll be selling that too. Yeah, true. All right, Pete, you're the best. We'll talk to you again during the season. Thank you for the hot takes. Go find Pete on Twitter and CBS Sports. He is the best. Thanks so much Pete.

Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest, one of the best running backs in the NFL. It is newly minted New York jet, Dalvin Cook. We are a pro running back podcast. I want to start there, Dalvin.

I want to actually begin with, did you join the zoom when all the running backs decided to get together on the zoom and be like, why aren't we getting paid enough money? Yeah, I was part of that, the whole thing. Okay. And what was, we were joking about it because we're like, I don't really know, like at some point you have to join a zoom, it feels like it's work now.

Did we get any progress? Because if you have a message that we need to say to everyone about the running backs, we're here to do that for you. I think it's kind of clear to be honest, like, you know, everybody knows certain to you at a position right now, like, it's a vulnerable, like, it's a vulnerable spot to be in, like, to be the runner back right now.

But like, everybody's kind of know that, and you kind of see in the situation, no unravel, like, you see the situation going down to Andy, you know, you got one of the best young guys that's trying to, you know, get what you deserve and think it all comes down to about, you know, ownership and other people in the building value that's not just think that's where we're at right now.

So I think to me, and kind of just got our voices out there and just got it to some of the people we needed to get to, but like, I feel like, you know, we still at that spot where like, you know, something got to be done. Yeah, well, I mean, I feel like, you know, we still like, that's why I was like, you know, something got to be done. Yeah, well, I mean, one idea we came up with, I don't know if it was discussed on the zoom, but what if running backs just stopped blocking for quarterbacks? What if you stopped picking up blitzes?

Feels like they'd pay you more after that. I don't know. Man, you know, but you love balls so much. And especially, you know, in my position, you got to haul a family back there. You got to pull it. You got to pull it. You got to haulangirl back there. You got a ball. You got to haul the fangirl back there. You got to bluff for that guy, man.

Okay, yeah, or. You got to bluff. What if there's no franchise tag for the running back position? That'd be cool right there. Be honest, I think we're one in a position that I think should not be on a tag. Yeah, the beat that we take,

the overload, you know, if you were one of those great and one of those special players, you'd get the overload, you'd get it for 400 touches a year then, so it's like, I think we shouldn't be able to get a tag. I think so. All right, I mean, the tag probably shouldn't exist

in general. It's kind of weird how they came up with that whole idea and now you have to play under it. Or running back She's don't get drafted you become free agents the moment that you step out of college You get to decide where to go go the highest bitter. That's different. I haven't seen that But I don't know I had two guys going to the first round this year, but two of them, but John and you know, right?

Like two of them go, they got some of the money that they deserve. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, you got to make it all this money. You know, more than some of the guys that have been putting in lead, but it's like I'm happy for them, you know what I'm saying? Like just to see them getting some money.

But I got a little brother in the lead. So I'm just, you know, I'm just trying to set the narrative straight, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, he worked his just no, I'm just trying to set the narrative straight like you know I'm saying like he work his butt off. He he can do everything right. No, he's gonna ball out So I just feel like he's sick it where he deserves. Yeah, so um Yeah, you mentioned your little brother did that have anything to do with you going in the division to the jets That you get to play him twice a year now. I just think like when the thing really unfolded of me and of being a free agent,

like I think that was really, that was on the table for me, like just joined that division, like the dolphins or the jet heads, or just a little plan of division. Like I don't know how it came down to that so quick, but that's what it was. Like it unfolded real quick.

And like we kind of knew when he was down to the train and with me, like, I might end up in the same division issue And that's not as long as he as he be like I Yeah, oh now you can be honest with us You signed with the jets Mid-August did you do that because it's like hey, I don't really want to go to all of camp because that would be a really smart decision where it's like, let me take a little bit of time. I am a running back. I do get the wear and tear. I can, I can pick a team that I want because you're such a value asset. Were you, were you making sure that you took

enough time that you didn't have to maybe do like the really shitty days of camp? No, I wasn't really like looking at it like that. We're like, no, not at the, or folded like that, like, you know what I'm saying, like, at campus camp, like I don't know what I'm getting out of camp, like I could get better in camp, and then you could, something that you don't want to happen. So, but like, I wasn't really thinking like that, it was really like a tough decision coming down to it, like, you know what I'm saying, where I want to, you know, place my family and put us in the best position to go, be successful, It was like, you know, I knew nothing outside of Minnesota. So it was like, all right, let's go away in my options.

Let's go take a visit to the jet. So let's go see what teams are talking about. And I think when I took my visit, I kind of sold things up. But, nah, I actually just had a kid. Two days ago, I was kind of waiting trying to figure this thing out. Yeah, I didn't appreciate I just didn't want to like something to conclusion is just like You know kind of miss his birth and do things like that. So I was kind of holding it off as long as I could but like no

Just with great people in a facility in New York They kind of let me go back and no enjoy that time with him You had a boy. Yes. Yeah, boy congrats man. That's awesome. Would you let your son play running back if that time with him. That's smart. See, you had a boy? Yes, yeah, boy. Congrats, man. That's awesome. Would you let your son play running back if that time comes? Oh, no. No, what position would you say?

It was a big, it was a big baby, man. I don't know. We might go to be hoping to something. Yeah, you say power for it, is the answer. Yeah, I mean, I've been seeing these contracts throughout. I'm like, oh, man, I think I'm in a room, boy. Yes, yes, yes, absolutely. So what was it that sold you on the jets?

Was it Rogers, was it the coach? What was the final thing that you're like, this is where I need to be? It was the whole day, man, and like really, just a fill of it. Beyond as I came on my visit, like I had no idea that I was what I was walking into and No, I talked to some guys I've been here and the building all I heard was great thing like they take care of guys

They take care of guys and I just kept hearing that repeated repeated repeated repeated and you know I got here and The visit just you know everybody enjoyed itself. We had a good fill up, you know, who they was as an organization. You know, they got a good fill up who I was as a person. You know, the film already spoke for what I could give you on the field, but like, I'm just sitting down with those meetings. You know, a head man and everybody. It was a great visit. And like you said, the roster itself speak for itself, you know,

the deepened stood. I played these guys last year, the defense is defense. Like they roll over to those guys. They got a great defense. And I think with the young running back room, that we got and just add me with that, not have veteran presidents,

you know, just helping these guys, you know, make more plays on the field. And like you say, you got to hit that quarterback, you got to office the rookie out of your not to play with some great receivers. I'm lucky enough to go play with another great one. So it was it was a no brain for me. Yeah, Roger's a great guy.

I've never said a bad word about him. I mean, he's it's true. Selfless teammate, just a great leader. You got a chance to win with it. Yeah, like I said, it was a no brain. I played against that for six years. So I wasn't trying to be on the opposite side of it. No more. Yeah, yeah. So I wasn't trying to be on the opposite side of it. No more.

So let's be friends now. Yeah, that's how I feel. Yeah. Did you watch any of the hard knocks? I haven't watched it. You didn't watch it. My theory was that you saw the episode where they brought in the mentalist.

And the mentalist guy asked for a prediction who's going to win the Super Bowl. And he turned over a car that said the jets are going to beat the 49ers and the Super Bowl. My theory was that you watch that and you were like, oh shit, this guy says that the jets are going to win Super Bowl. I need to be on that team, but you haven't watched it yet. No, I ain't believing in what you got to say.

I ain't, no, I ain't, I ain't watch it. To be honest, I didn't even watch that episode. I might even go watch it, but I haven't watched none of them yet. To be honest. It's going to blow your mind when you watch it. Yeah, you't watched none of them yet, to be honest. It's gonna blow your mind when you watch it. Yeah, you're gonna believe, you're gonna be like, okay, well, that's gonna happen. You know the Super Bowl.

I think it's gonna happen. We got the pieces to go make it happen, but you know, this lead is a, you know, put the product on the field, that's played Sunday Monday, whatever we play, let's go do it. You gotta go out there and prove it. So. Well, I got another thing that believes in the jets.

Do you believe in ghosts? Very important question. Ghost. Yeah. It's a good one. I'm gonna go with it. Because I, you can't even see ghosts. You probably just can hear them,

but I've never heard of Seaman Ghosts. I never, so I'm gonna say you know, I never experienced it in my 20 years of living. Okay, wrong answer. Ghosts are real. And I, a friend of ours, a colleague of ours, bought a house in Chicago and he has a ghost in the house. And the ghost told me to bet the Jets Super Bowl.

So you should start believing in ghosts. So what type of ghost is this? What he thought of the casino? No, he was a gambling ghost. Yeah, we were talking to him. He was hitting this beeper thing and I said and we said, Jetsuitable and he hit it.

And it's like, it's, it's a go, how can you not trust a ghost? A ghost knows all. You talk to the ghost too. You talk to the ghost too. Oh, I talked to the ghost directly. Yes. Yeah.

Oh yeah. Telling you, start, start believing in ghosts. I'm starting to see the trim. Everything to leave right up to everybody's out of debt. So cool. Yeah. Yeah. Ghosts even dead people. I believe it goes. Yeah. There you go. Converted ghost. You believe in ghosts. You're smart, man. You can't deny it. You can't deny that if it goes on your side You take all the support you can get right? Yes, that's it So you believe in ghosts we believe in a former teammate of yours James Winston We feel like James is

Maybe the most entertaining quarterback to watch in the NFL He's so fun and you used to play with him He's a big raw raw, raw speech guy. We've all seen the Eat the W thing. What was Jamie? What was it like playing with James in college? It was cool, man. Like he was coming off his high school year. They had the one in the National Rechampion Championship in 13. I get that in 14. And it's cool, man. Like, everything's great. Like, he had his hiccups, like, you know what I'm saying, a couple of situations you got into, but like, it was never nothing like more than that.

I think he evolved over the years as he got in the league with speeches and all that. Because he never did that with us. Like, we're kid, yeah, give us a speech, but it's been like, all right, let's go play. Right. It wasn't like nothing out of the ordinary, but like, it was cool man I was my that's

my god man like I don't know like he has his moments like and to be like hold up was happening right now and I don't know like it was cool man like we went to the playoffs we had a great year like unfortunately like we we lost the organ that year the playoffs but I don't know who man what about the time are you specifically talkingoff, but I don't know who man is. What about the time? Are you specifically talking about the time? I don't. I think it was your, when you were there, uh, when he was suspended for a half and he came out in full uniform and Jimbo was like, dude, what? Yeah, it was like, Jimbo, what, Jimbo's like, dude, what do you think suspended means? Did you talk to him after you're like, man, that was screwed up and let you play. That was one of my favorite javits clips.

He's wanted to play ball. Yeah, it was kind of weird though, because I kind of felt way he was coming from. And like Jimbo did tell him he was suspended in front of the team. It was a situation where he had to love a situation in a way he stood up and said something. Fucker in the pussy.

Yeah, when he said that, and it kind of went viral and the NCAA called right like the day before the game. It was in the meeting. Jimbo told me we were suspended. For half, but I guess he thought he still could warm up. That's when he came out with his clothes on. He guess. I guess he thought he still warm up. I kind of felt felt where you came from like I'm warm up. Let me go take my clothes off right right Jimbo wasn't having no All-time That was funny. Yeah, so play he just looks confused and they're just talking in front of the tunnel You so I always wanted this because you know worst sports fans. We see, we don't, we obviously don't live it like you guys live it. You, in your college process, you committed to Clemson, then committed to Florida, then went to Florida State.

How much shit did like random people on burner accounts talk to you when you flipped commitments? Because that's always, we always laugh about on the show. The fact that there's like grown men tweeting it like 17 year old kids and getting mad at them because they decided they wanted to go to a different college. Yeah, back then, like I wasn't really being on like social media, but like, like not picked the jet. It was worse.

Oh, really? Like it was great. I was getting stuff like, yeah, like, yeah, it was great. I was getting stuff like, yeah, it was bad. This goes to show like, like, if you really not mentally, like stable and mentally ready for social media, I think you making big decisions like that, like acting like auto people's feelings. I think you just might need to stay off of it, because,

you know, if I've been taught, I'm like, I'm close to replicating with some people, but like, all right, well, I think you just might need to stay off of it. Because, you know, it'd have been times I only came close to replant with some people, but like, I always my time. Like, there's not even gold there. And get it to this back of Florida. Keep it right. But it's just like, yeah, man, like when I commit it to to the Clemson, because everything for me happened so fast, I was like a year and a half span, and I committed to Clemson, then I decommitted the Florida, and I just decided to go to school, but early, and I just went to Florida State, I didn't even like read, to nothing else, I didn't commit to Florida's time, I just went to school, and I didn't really get nothing too much from it, because I wasn't really on social media, but when I made my decision, I went to chess, much from it because I wasn't really on social media. But like when I made my decision,

I went to chess. I think it was, it was worse. Which fan base was the worst to you when you signed with the Jets? I think I pretty much got it from everywhere. I think people was expecting me to sign back to Minnesota. You know, obviously it was expecting me to go home.

So I really got it from my fans to words. So I'm looking forward to going back home and being in the field and again. Yeah, yeah. You played out in Minnesota, had had a great career out there so far. Run behind CJ Ham, one of our favorite fullbacks in the NFL. CJ Ham is a fucking beast.

That dude is a monster. You gonna miss CJ? I'm gonna miss him man. I'm a minister. God, man. It's just how easy he made the game on me. Like people don't really know like the

communication that we had and it was non verbal like it's just like like we just we reacted to each other so well like it was just a great package like I say that for the years that we was dead together man and you see why they have snuck in them again like it is what it is like see they're gonna be see they yeah yeah I'm happy for them. Yeah, I just wish I could have took them with me could have bought them. Well Rodgers did that you could have yeah, Rodgers brought the whole packers with them. We got to build with the building not over man. We got to. This is a dumb question, dumb fan question and dumb theory that we had but

did Alexander Madison grow out his dreads just so that way when he like came in, you know, in relief of you, you'd be like, Oh, is this still down in cook? So he was already grown as dreads when he was when he first got there, but like, it's how funny this man is like, I love that. I love him. I love that. That's my little brother like,, man, it's crazy.

I must love my godfather. We should do a lot of stuff together. It's like being around each other every day. And he started to dress like me. So like, and he was doing it on purpose. Like he had doing it on purpose. Like he had doing it on purpose. Like he had come from my lobby and see what I got

on here, doing it on purpose. Like he had dressed just like me. And one time we had like the, that had put me in front of like, it was trying to count like two years ago, they put me in front of the cover of the magazine. And I'm looking at the cover and I see it's not me. And the picture, it's a David Cook, but it's him. So we went to the lady and we told her like that's not me. Like that's that's Alex. He felt so bad. Like I'm like bro, why are you doing

that? Why are you doing it? He's doing it to the lady like, so he's doing it on purpose. Like, he's on purpose. It's funny man. Like, there be so many times. Yeah, we did look like we'd be watching games. We're like, oh, Dalvin Cook scored and be like, wait, nope, that's not him. Never mind. That's Yeah, fantasy football owners must have eaten him. Yeah, you get all excited. They got another Dalvin Cook touchdown. And then they're like, wait, wait a second. That's not him. Shit. So that's more that's funny that he did it on purpose.

So I respect that. That's true. True backup running back. You know, just dressed for the job. I want my grandmothers to get as mixed up. I hold up. What was it like? What was it like in the locker room last year in the game against the Colts? The famous comeback game. I think I was like the week before Christmas.

It was on a Saturday, if I remember against Jeff Saturday and the Colts. And you guys are down big at halftime. You scored the last touchdown in regulation. Did you guys, was there a sense at halftime that you can win the game? Always it just like, let's go out there, try to, you know, not embarrass ourselves in the second half and see what happens. But I was probably like the way I could describe it like that was probably like the most comments come back ever like When you when we went into the locker room because like the energy when we came out For the game like it wasn't really there because that was a game for us to close the division and like To like just a couple things to get it out the way and like the energy wasn't there like for us to like being the mode of like

Fending the division and like for us to like be in the mode of like pension of division and like we went into halftime and like everybody's like car and shit like we just like calm like everybody just chillin until like Pat Pee kind of like stood up but you still had God like yeah we can do it but like you know everybody wasn't believing that shit like it was like all right Pat Pee kind of stood up and it like, yo, like, like, just come down. We need this five touchdowns. Everybody's like, five touchdowns.

Five touchdowns. And so, we got out there and they started rolling out. Look at that. It started coming back and back and back. Everybody was just so calm. And then you kind of felt that energy just coming back into the building come back in the building You kind of seen the stands filling back up and you just kind of seeing Everything that's happening then

To me like I played in that Buffalo game, but that was like that was like real close to that Buffalo game Like for one of the craziest game I ever played in my life. Yeah, yeah, you guys play some walls was last year Oh, we need his five touchdowns when you put that life. Yeah, yeah. You guys played some wild ones last year. All we need is five touchdowns. When do you put that way? Yeah, we can do this. Stop that, we need that one. That's it, yeah, one hand. Just one hand of touchdowns.

By the way, I forgot that one of our writers here is a dolphins fan did write a blog right after you sign with the Jets saying, Dalvin Cook going to the Jets makes me want to drink bleach. So yeah, you did write a blog right after you sign with the jets saying Dalvin cook go into the jets makes We want to drink bleach. So yeah, you did get a lot of people getting upset. So he yeah, he didn't drink bleach But you you made him want to yeah, you made him want to drink Don't drink bleach man. This life is great We know ball on this show you can probably tell we're very smart, very intelligent football fans

We know that it takes some time for a running back to to fit in past protection Especially if they're in a new system new team. Have you gotten started on that? How long does it take you? Going to the Jets new offense coordinator new system new offense align How long does it take for you to really feel comfortable in past protection? For me, I kind of always been like, on top of things like that. You get to lay heat cups every nine then, but like, this is a system that I ran before.

So I'm pretty familiar with what they got going on. Like I ran this system, but two years ago, I ran it when I had Gary and Kubiak. So I'm pretty familiar with it. It just kind of gave my brain fresh on the terminology and everything they say. And they kind of change up a little bit. The system is the system, like as far as

know what they're trying to get done. I pretty much know what they're trying to do. So I'm pretty, pretty good with that. But it's still going to take a lot of, a lot of, a lot of a lot of roughs to go out there and get this thing done. You know, because I was, I was here last week, but of a lot of a lot of love reps to go out there and get this thing done. No, because I was here last week, but I had to fly back home.

So I'm gonna really get a two week of practice coming this week. Mm-hmm. Another dumb question. How cool is it being fast? Are you like, do you ever find yourself catching like when you burn by someone or you give someone a good juke, you're like, this is awesome. Like I just made you look so foolish. It's up to sometimes why I don't

court balls and like tight spaces like really like check dollars to be honest and like I get past some guys. I'm like I am I am my fat like you kind of catch the self sometimes like when you get past guys like you see guys really like try hard to get you but like No, you really just in the mold of just trying to get where you go on and it's like All right, yeah Yeah, I mean that's got to be very cool. Are you faster than your brother? See like the thing about like we can never raise but like we run totally different like he Run with like the longer described to me like my steps are like

shorter, but they're like not choppy, but I he run with a longer scribe we had a I don't really want to race I just get on the title to be honest like all right you got it bro But I never got caught on film. Let me just say that. Oh Never we're film guys. We can find something You catch me getting ran down on tape boy that Show me I How much how much would you pay us if we found it a hundred to run down? Well, I get ready now. Okay. All right. All right Jake

But you were, there was a video of like some Miami dolphins clip where it was like is, is Daven cook on a sign with dolphins. You liked it and then everybody from dolphins, all their, all their fans, they were like,

Like it depends on how cold like I was in like we played in green, but like we don't play in green Bay like at end of the year. All right, last three, I was in Minnesota. And the last time we went to Green Bay, it was zero degrees. Like I had it every second of it, but like, I don't think it gonna get, I don't think it gonna be any game as cold as that. Like, as far as playing out here in New York,

like, I know it's gonna get cold, but like, I don't got my problem with it. Like, ball is ball, like, they gotta feel the same pat hitting, situation that I gotta feel, like, they gotta feel that same thing I'm feeling like ball is ball. I like that ball is ball.

Ball is ball. Respect. That is respect. Alright so do you have a prediction for this year? Yards? Can you tell people why they should draft you in fantasy? I'm gonna be productive. I'm gonna be who I am.

I'm just joking. Daven could is Daven could. So like, you know what I'm saying? Like, if you're taking for that, just take it for that. Like it's all I need to say. Like I don't need is diving cooked. So like, you know what I'm saying? Like, if you're taking for that, just take a for that. Like, it's all I need to say. Like, I don't need to say too much. Like, diving is not me. Like, I'm back in 33, so we good.

Like, as if it were there. Are there certain numbers that you feel faster and than other numbers? Like, what if they made you wear, like, 45 for you? I won't wear it. I won't wear it. You quit. Yeah, the new numbers are crazy.

You know, that's not a fast number. What are the fastest numbers? This one's saying like if you don't go, like if I ain't go like a single digit, like I wasn't, I'm going back to 33 regards. It's like that was the most productive. I don't, you know, I'm saying like 33. Like that's what it is.

That's how I came off. I came off swinging 33. But like other than that, I wasn't going to, no, I'm not even gonna make you look good. You don't even look good in numbers like that. Yeah, so if you weren't 33, I would be the fastest numbers that we would say. I would say like a one, one looks pretty fast, seven looks fast, 21, 21's really fast. 21 is fast. I like 21. 22 is kind of a good

number two. But like I feel like 22 is one of those numbers. But like you fast and it's just like I could run this thing to like 22 100 numbers like in the middle of like yeah I'm that guy I tell you numbers like I like 22 Yeah, yes, do stews. I had one last question for you. It's a rowback question r. H. O B. A C K dot com promo code take 20% off your first purchase Q zips polos hoodies joggers shorts everything Rowback dot com promo code take there's been awesome d'Alvin we appreciate your time I found another one. It was Dalvin Cook. You fuckhead, uh, on Twitter.

Um, and that was, that was from me, December 6, 2020. Uh, and I went to look it up. Do you remember this game? I, I, all pretty much anytime I swear at an athlete, it's a, a gambling related. It was the Jaguar's Vikings game where I think you guys were like nine point favorites and you had first and goal at the two minute warning and you just didn't score and you won by three. Do you remember that? Because you were a fuckhead. Yeah.

Oh yeah. They told me that score. Yeah. What come on? We got people who did that. I was gonna situation a moment. Yeah, I'll say you don't, hey, hey, hey, what, think about it. I feel you, I feel you, like, like I understand when things are on the line and big things are state, I feel you. Like, get your emotions out. I'm not a person that take emotions.

I don't, I take them how they come. That's just what it is, but, hey, I'ma fuck it, I'ma fuck it. You were a fuck at that. In that moment, you take them how they come. That's just what it is, but hey, I'ma fuck it. I'ma fuck it. You were a fuckhead, that, in that moment, you were a fuckhead. I know that your coach probably told you to do it, but I stand by the tweet, but yeah, Twitter is wild. So I can't really criticize anyone when I'm tweeting down from the fuck you fuckhead

in the middle of the day. Maybe we can think twice and we can just call the coach a fuckhead. Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna say, I gotta talk to them too. Yeah, you would probably think yourself, like, that's a fuckhead. Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna say I gotta talk to them too. Yeah, you would probably think yourself like that's a touchdown you could have. You're like Kevin O'Connor, you fuckhead. Yeah.

Yeah. Come on. You needed that. We need those scores. It's a very great. Oh man. Well, thank you so much, man. Best of luck. Believe in ghosts. The ghost told me I'm telling you. Now I feel like you're not believing in ghosts again. No, I don't want to hear no ghosts. I don't want to see no ghost. Because wherever I'm at, I would never be there again. If I ever did, if I ever hear it, I saw it. I would get missing. I'd be gone. But like, you know, hey, I'll tell my ass to y'all. I'll talk to the ghost. Whatever you will never you see him again talking about it was up and we appreciate it.

All right. Well, if you guys win the Super Bowl this year, will you come, will you come visit and and we'll go talk to the ghost and be like, yo, thanks for believing in us. If you get set it up like this between man and man, right here, like, I can do that. Yeah. Okay. We'll do that. All right. If you win the Super Bowl this year, you will, we'll set up a zoom with the ghost. That was over that ghost. Okay. Perfect. Perfect. Well, Dalvin best luck. That interview with Dalvin Cook was brought to you by Verizon. This season, Verizon is making sure that NFL fans everywhere have a great plan to watch all the out of market Sunday afternoon games. What's not a great plan?

Crout in sports bars with an obnoxious rival fans. You know what the worst is? You try to time it out. You go to like a sports bar with your buddies. You think you're gonna have a seat and you end up just standing there for an hour. Because you don't have a seat, you haven't planned ahead. Don't wait till the last minute, use Verizon. You know what else is a bad plan?

Texting your family for play-by-play updates because you don't get into the game. What is a great plan is for a limited time you can get NFL Sunday ticket from YouTube and YouTube TV on us. That's a value of up to $449. I'm gonna say that again you can get NFL Sunday ticket from YouTube and YouTube TV on Verizon. That's up to $449 in value. Plus, when you switch to Verizon, you can also get a new 5G phone. Like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5, all with Verizon's my plan, the plan for fans.

That's right, you can get a new 5G phone on them. Get NFL Sundered, take it from YouTube and YouTube TV on us at Verizon.com slash take. That's Verizon.com slash take. That's a great deal. Plan ahead for football season. I'm telling you right now, you can get NFL Sunday ticket from YouTube and YouTube TV

and it's on Verizon in the US at Verizon.com slash take. And now time for Jimbo's. Okay, we're bringing back Jimbo's. It's the time to bring back Jimbo's and we have a special sponsor for Jimbo's who we got PFT. Yeah, today's Jimbo's are brought to you by the one and only Snickers. That's right, the most satisfying solution for all those rookie mistake moments packed with chocolate, caramel, peanuts, and nougat.

Snickers is the go-to play when life throws blitzets your way. Rookie mistake, maybe you just need snickers. Learn more at snickers.com slash NFL. We were talking right before we started taping. Snickers ice cream bars are my one, one quick ice cream bar to pick up. I ate one tonight. I also buy them for my kids and I cut them up and give them to it. It's the best.

That was the best. They are so, so good. You know what else is great? If you take a regular snickers bar and you put that in the freezer. Yeah. I know it's not the same as ice cream, but it's still. It's still elite. I'm probably going to hit another snickers ice cream on the way out.

Yeah. What was the, what did Jim Thompson will originally do for it to be called? Jim, he called it. He said that sometimes like when you got a run, but you pass and study's like, we call that a Jim, like he actually phrased Jimbo's for his own mistake. I'm going to look it up. See if I can get the clip. It's to take accountability. You'd be like, yep, that one was a Jimbo. That challenge. I should have challenged that. That's a Jimbo. Yeah, he's saying that literally was like yeah, he had he named himself He named his own mistakes as Jimbo's

Like yeah, I screwed up there. That's a Jimbo. I can't believe we haven't had Tom Sula on part of my take I know I don't think I feel like he would maybe not like us. I don't know. I think you I think you Mr. James Van yeah, uh wait, let's see I think you think sister jeez van. Yeah, wait, let's see. I'm looking it up. Okay. That I just found a tweet that's a Jimbo Tom Sula's phrase when he was the root of the problem like when 49ers tried to come out passing versus Browns That's a Jimbo. So if he's the root of the problem, he's like Jimbo. Mm-hmm. Love that that's accountability With that being said, I brought my girl bowling, think it'd be a fun, relaxing time, and she beat me all six games.

Oh, no. And I didn't post a score over 100. Oh. Top three most embarrassing hour I had to deal with. Is this, was this you writing about me and you? No, bowling. Mm-hmm. Would I beat you 157 to 85?

That was one game. Right, but you got 85. I beat you during the bowling stream. Right, but you got 85. I beat you during the bowling stream. Okay, but we played like 75 games. Of course you're gonna win once. Yeah, this is, um, listen, six games. One game happens.

One game happens. One game happens. You take a 0 for 6 trying to break a hundred. Yeah, that's the thing. It's not about your girlfriend beating you. That she's probably a good bowler. What are you gonna do? Not being able to break 100 as a man

six straight times. That's brutal. Yeah, it is tough. You would think that you would find a fun to groove around game number three or four or put up the bumpers. Yeah, or just like not even aim be like I'm not going to even try to get a strike. Let's just hit some of the pins. We got to get we got to start a bowling league. Bowling is we should be in a bowling league. Bowling's fun, but one major problem I have of bowling now is, I used to love it because you could smoke cigarettes inside. Yeah. And it seems like that is even going away, which is tough. Like, there are certain places that should allow

sticks inside because my policy for myself is, I'm allowed to smoke cigarettes indoors if I'm, or I'm allowed to smoke cigarettes if it's indoors or if I'm out of the country. And now it's like, I'm running out of opportunities to do so. So I'm just, I'm just going home after a night at the bowling alley and all your clothes

in your hair smell like cigarettes. Jake, make a reminder, after football season ends, I think we should, maybe we don't even do a bowling league, but let's just, the fellas pick a random Monday when we're really missing football the most. And let's go bowling on a Monday night. Like April after March. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

February I'm saying. Oh, right. Winter, yeah, yeah. The winter. Yeah, we should. We should stream it. And we should make it a competition. Uh, no, but let's just go as fun.

Let's have fun, you know, bowl with the boys. It'd be great if we could find a bowling league where people just let us win. How do we do that? How do we do that? What? Oh. Oh, you let me win.

Any time, any place, anywhere, you get to have more self-awareness if you're this guy. You gotta know what your limitations are. And if you're a stinky bowl or maybe just don't go in a bowling date. Also, you had to know what your limitations are. And if you're a stinky bowl or maybe just don't go in a bowling date. Also, you should just start like mini golf, one on one basketball, you got to find one

that you can win at. Hit the hard gate. Oklahoma arcade. Yeah, hit the arcade, yeah, Oklahoma drill, feats of strength, bench press competition. Our wrestling. Actually, I feel like from the little we know about this guy, his girlfriend could be the men of bench press competition. Actually, I feel like from the little we know about this guy, his girlfriend could be

the man of bench press competition. Probably. Okay. I was waiting to tee off on the 16th hole someday, was overserved and needed to reach for a cooling towel while I was sitting in the cart. Well, I slipped and landed on the floor of the cart, causing the accelerated to go off. The cart started rolling down the hill while I was literally, completely horizontally sticking out of it. I tried to slow the cart down by dragging my hands on the ground. Now my right hand and left elbow are scabbed and bruised. Golf club is torn

up. The cart didn't go too far as it just went over the curb near the fairway. That's such a great plan that he had though. He's going to stop the golf cart by grabbing grass. I also feel like golf carts are one of the, like, if this is a real car, yeah, it's a different story because you don't want to have damage. Golf carts, I have to imagine if we talk to a caddy or like a ground screw person, they've seen everything. Oh, yeah.

They've seen every golf cart accident, like broken, everything, like just let it go. Jake almost died in a golf cart. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Remember that? It was not a charity golf term when I was in seventh grade. I drove off the bridge, fell over me, and I was stuck under water for like 30 seconds.

I thought there wasn't a way out. That's chapa quiddick. But I made it out. Who rescued you? So the person sitting next to you didn't make it out? No, he did. He was able to jump onto the bridge while the... So he made it out and then did he did he go get help for you?

Yeah, yeah, okay. Okay. Got it a little rattle But I thought it was a what a hilarious way for Jay to die was in a whole thing. No B is charity tournament No, were you very embarrassed? I was just I was 13 years old We shaking is going on. Yeah, were you scared to drive after that? I was 13. Oh, drive carts, yeah. Yeah. When you got your license, were you like, oh, here we go again. Do you hate going over water?

Yeah. Did you finish around? No. You went home? No, I just hung around. You hung around wet? You got to change clothes, I think. Okay.

And you didn't finish around? No. Why? Because I was, my clubs were gone. They're underneath a lake. Oh, yeah, I forgot about the clubs Okay, we need to conquer this bridge shake. We need to go back and have you drive a golf court We need to have you drive off the bridge again Yeah, yes. Yes. Yes. Recreate the whole thing. It's you're never gonna heal if you don't do this Yeah, yeah, take the whole thing. You're never gonna heal if you don't do this. Yeah. Yeah, take the power back.

All right. All right, last one. Last week, I ordered a gaming desktop on a massive discount, a $3,500 desktop for $1,100 from Amazon. Imagine my surprise when I thought would be a gateway into escapism and Tom Foulery turned out to be one foam shoe in a bag. Oh, you got got.

Oh, that's bad. So it was a fake store? Yeah. Yeah, I mean, that's a pretty steep discount. Damn. I thought it was gonna be like half of the gaming console or something. Yeah, I thought it was gonna be like the computer,

but not built. Are you allowed to do that? And then the people that build computers? It sounds like the easiest scam ever. You just set up an Amazon store and then you just don't send people the stuff and you get their money. Yeah.

When I was a kid, my dad did that to me. He got me PlayStation, the original PlayStation for my birthday and he gave me the holder and it was like, you want a PlayStation, right? And he went with it for like 15 minutes and I was like, this is the holder. This isn't the PlayStation. He's like, this is what you wanted. I didn't understand what you wanted. I got you a minutes. And I was like, this is the holder. This isn't the PlayStation. He's like, this is what you wanted.

I didn't understand what you wanted. I got you a PlayStation. I'm pretty mad, yeah. Yeah. And he's like, oh, you wanted this and they show me the PlayStation. That's a pretty good trick. Yeah.

For the younger, what is a, what is a holder for a PlayStation? It was like the, the thing that, I don't know, it was like the plastic holder that you put on the, because the PlayStation, I don't know, you just fucking, it was a holder. Do you know what that is?

I would have been cool if he got you like a jungle gym, like a slide, so he's like, this is a PlayStation. PlayStation for play. Fuck. It like held it upright. Is it a gray PlayStation? It was a, yeah, it was a gray PlayStation. You couldn't have just put it like on the floor.

It might have been a PlayStation 2. Hank, what does that mean? PlayStation 2 is a black PlayStation 1. I think it was a gray. It was gray. It was, I think it was the... Yeah, no, it was this. Okay, I think it was, when did PlayStation 2 come out?

Like 2000 and seven? Okay, so it was PlayStation 1. But it looked exactly like this. It looked exactly like this Max. See this? Okay. Like it just, one, but it looks exactly like this. It looks exactly like this max See this okay, like it just you just held it up it held up You couldn't just put it on the ground 2000s is 2000s PlayStation 2. Yeah, I must have Fuck Cool

Yeah, look like this it was kind of cool Fuck. All right. It's a nice call into that. Fuck. Yeah, it looked like this. It was kind of cool. All right, fine, I dated myself. What the fuck am I gonna do? I'm old, guys. Hey, news flash. Yeah, like is it?

I'm fucking old. Is it embarrassing to admit that my first gaming system was a super Nintendo? Cause it was. Yeah. That's not that, it's just time. N64 was the best. Hey, N64.

What was your first one, Hank? I was not that video games my house. So I was like, well, there, my brother got an Xbox and college. That was that was the one in my house. Me and my friends would play PlayStation one and two and then 64. I wasn't allowed to have it either for the longest time. And one birthday, I got to rent from Blockbuster, Assega. Yeah, those were all the weekend.

Those were the best birthday parties. But that was my birthday. I was like, I just wanna have a system for a weekend. Yeah, I was all played the entire, I actually remember I brought it to someone else's house, not like a friend's house. We had to go somewhere for something and I was like, I'm bringing this.

I'm not wasting any time. Yeah, smart. Honestly, genius by my parents, because I just lived at my neighbor's house. Yeah, like I was never home. Yeah, that is the ultimate. I was always like a generation and a half behind all my friends. So I would play all the games at their house.

And then like two years later, I would get that system. Yes. I would get the same games. I'd be like, you guys want to come over and play Golden 9? They're like, dude, we beat Golden 9 two years later, I would get that system. Yes. I would get the same games. I'd be like, you guys want to come over and play Golden 9? They're like, dude, we beat Golden 9 two years ago. Yeah. Also, genius move. One of my friends got N64, and his parents wouldn't let us play during the week.

And he would hide, they would hide the chord, like the power chord. Yeah. So the system would be sitting there. And we'd be like, all we want to do is play it, but we can't plug it in. So we'd just spend the entire week looking for it. And then we realized like after like three years that his dad just put it in his trunk every Monday. It's much too much work.

And we're just like, motherfucker, we just spent all this time looking for a part of the court. We thought it was around the house. Yeah. So yeah. Okay, we did it ourselves. What are we gonna do? I mean, going to blockbuster, like on a Friday night

and you write into games was like the greatest thing. Right, yeah. There was something about running a movie too from blockbuster. on a Friday night and you like the games was like the greatest thing. Right. Yeah. Right. There was something about running a movie too from blockbuster. You go in there, you get the blockbuster smell, you know, I think they all kind of smell the same. And then you as a group pick out, okay, we're gonna rent this movie, take it home, and it's a big thing. Yeah. It's an event. Now, I think it's so easy to buy movies and shit that you rent them on your couch, and then you just don't pay attention to the movie. There was nothing worse than going to the blockbuster on a Friday night and seeing the

movie you wanted and having it not be there. Yeah. And having it be no VHS. Oh, now we're from. Do you remember when VHS got damaged? You remember when Jurassic Park came out? How many copies they had at blockbuster? It was like an entire wall of Jurassic Park.

Oh, yeah. Whatever. Yeah, we're old. Sorry. I just said, I was just saying I was doing an fancy draft. It's my college friend's 18 years. Yeah, that one hurt, seeing that. But yeah, okay, we're old, whatever. We're still young at heart and football's back.

We get our youth back every football season. Yeah, yeah. Okay, numbers three. And then we're going to the one to the bonus pancake draft 69 Memes you were gotten this 20 Nope 82

68 Okay, love you guys okay 68. Damn. Okay. Love you guys. Okay. It's time for part of my take fantasy. We are reinventing the fantasy world. We started with Dingers only. And now football season, because Dingers only was because we wanted to learn more about baseball.

We obviously love football. We watch football nonstop. And we thought, what's the way to have a fantasy league for football that teaches us something, maybe we aren't paying attention to, it's the pancakes only league. We're really, it's just something awesome to root for. We're like, fingers.

Rooting for pancakes, kicks ass. Yes, so it's five offensive linemen per team. Pancakes only, someone's gonna have to chart these. Jake, I got it. Yeah, I set it up. Jake's got it. Ft set up the list. Adrops, one.

Let's get it clear right now. Injury adrops. Yeah. Are you allowed to do one ad drop? Yeah, I think you can do, you can do multiple adrops. Oh, okay, just for injury, so. Yeah. Okay, just what about pedophile?

I have to run that pedophile. I have to run that pedophile. I have to about pedophile? That you have to run that fight only. You have to run that fight only. You have to run that fight only. So you're, if there's a pedophile on your team, you're allowed to drop them, but you also have to disavow all of its pinkies. Okay, okay, that's fair. It's also only season ending injuries.

Season ending injuries. Yeah, our season ending pedophilia. Yeah, or season ending. Okay, so you can't, if you're a pedophile, but you're only suspended for two weeks, like the Ray Rice situation. Yes. Where it was like, how come he's only getting two weeks? Right. Then I think he has to stand roster. You have to ride out those pancakes. Yes. Yes. All right. So only ad

drops for season ending injury. No ad drops for like us a guy not performing. Yes. And then we are going to do the loser. Is it the 24 or we're doing 24 pancakes in 24 hours? Yeah. So the you have to be in a diner for and every pancake you eat is an hour off. And then we're also going to have the what it would be the fifth place person. We'll have to eat 12 pancakes and the fourth place person will have to eat six pancakes. I like to sit with you for a little bit. Everyone like that?

That's pretty good. A live streaming. I love pancakes. It'll be great. Yeah, finishing fourth is actually a treat. That's the, that's the, that's the goal. Yeah, that's the goal. That is first.

Finishing fourth is good. You get to sit with your boys. Wait, six pancakes. If you finish it first, are you allowed to sit and eat pancakes? Yeah, you can. Okay, all right. Yeah, we'll probably all hang out.

And yeah, it'll be fun. It's really just fifth and sixth place. That's the bad one. Yeah, fifth and sixth suck. And fifth is, I'm 12, it's not that bad. Should we make it 18 and 12? Fifth and fourth?

You know, 24, 18, 12. 24, 18, 12. Yeah, yeah. All right, let's do that. Okay, 24, 18, 12, 6, 3, 3, first person doesn't have to eat any pain. Unlimited, yeah, they can just eat whatever they want. Okay, that's good.

So if you finish second, you have to eat three pancakes, which is, that's the true win now. That's pretty good. Cause that's a perfect amount of pancakes. Okay, this is gonna be fun. Pancakes only leak. How are we gonna do drags? What are we gonna do first? We've really gotten this enough. Okay, this is gonna be fun. Pancakes only week. How are we gonna do drags? What are those firsts?

We've really gotten this enough. I think we gotta do a random number generator. Yeah, or we can do a hack game. Okay. Or like the current standings of Dingers only. Oh no, okay. Or reverse current standings. Yeah, that's the only idea.

I like that. That's the start. All right, let's do odds or events. Until we get, this is really good podcasting. Subscribe to the YouTube. Ready? This is how we're going to do. Here's what we're going to do. Just do the random number, Jim, the random number.

Okay. And then we're going to do whoever gets it, whoever gets closest, goes first, and then we'll go clockwise after that person. Does that make sense? Okay. Yeah. Okay. So we got six people.

Men, Max is six. and so we'll just start I'll be one Hank your two big cat three memes for max five Jake is six Very ordered so Hank you can see this Two fuck Hank Hank goes first and then Hey, big cat. Oh, yeah ask okay snake draft who okay damn it Snake draft all right one one. This is an obvious one based off of the spreadsheet We have he had nine more pancakes and person second place. It's Trent Williams. Okay, good I want bad. I was yeah, he's he's first off here I was hoping that Hank was gonna pick row labels for his first overall pick because on the spreadsheet

It looks it looks like that's the first guys out of the cell guys. Yeah, he row labels first overall Thank you to Sam Schwarzenegg by the way for putting together the spreadsheet for Sam is For into the program and you will see him on the Thursday night Simulcast this year on Amazon. Yeah, what are what is the technical classification of a pancake block when you take another man's soul? You put them to the ground. We drive over them. Is it actually trackable? Pro football focus apparently tracks it. I couldn't find online, but if an AW a closet, please let us know. So I have a problem. I can't I paid Evan a hundred dollars for his

spreadsheet and I don't understand his rankings. I'm sure that a lot of egos on that. Shane and Evan were supposed to be in this league, so Evan did a lot of research, and he came in here and was like, oh, I did all the research. So I gave him a hundred dollar bills, like send it to me. I don't know what, I don't know. Yeah, this is a problem. You can get past.

There's like the Vikings at the draft.
