Starting point is 00:01:45 Okay, let's go. Welcome to part of my cake presented by the Cash App. It is Bad Beats Monday. Hashtag Bad Beats Monday. Tweet that at Cash App. Tweet that at us. They will hook up some of you that got screwed this weekend. Today is Monday, November 18th, Week 11.
Starting point is 00:02:55 We starred in Baltimore as Jackson was remarkable, facing off against his contemporary Dishon of the Dead Watson who looked like a zombie all Sunday afternoon. Daisy Duke Johnson got cut off and showed his ass as the Texans offense couldn't get moving. On the other side, the Ravens rode the Gus bus for 112 yards in a score and Deandre the Giant Hopkins came up small as the Texans scored 7 points or the amount of beers one would drink in a 20 minute cab ride. Purple gift boom, Deandre the Giant, no, no, no, please stop, no, no, no, no, not another
Starting point is 00:03:31 quarterback, no, no, no, Ravens 41, Texans 7, and Charlotte where quarterback Ryan played his first game of the season on matril surface. Kyle Woody Allen acted inappropriately and put out a film that's only funny because it's so uncomfortable. Kenyan Barracco Barnard reached across the aisle and took it all the way to the house as the Panthers often stall and crash faster than HealthCare.gov, as my good friend Charlie Sheen would say, Quinning, damn that is, as the Falcons coach earns himself talk of an extension.
Starting point is 00:04:06 Falcons 29, the Panther 3, in Ralph John where the Redskins who had gone 3.5 scare moochies without scoring a touchdown matched up against the Red Hot Jets, Sam Donald Palmer said when Lifehands you lemons, turn it into half lemonade, half iced tea and tell everyone we're gonna run the damn table. Darius Red Beans and Geist Zaddo ran into the end zone, but it wasn't enough for the hapless Redskins as Sam Donald Swansonaga, team coming and coming and coming and coming and Dwayne Haskins-Robbins was feeling 31 flavors of pressure with 6 sacks and 10 QB hits.
Starting point is 00:04:45 Don't look now, but the Jets are on a winning streak, 34-17. What? Some spread. In Minnesota where Kirk Cousins completes a historic 20-point combat, you fight that. Dolvin Cookie Monster got the 4th quarter going by saying, Mr. Touchdown, we want comeback and Kyle Mason Rudolph avoided getting smashed on the head as he had to go ahead score. After the Broncos 4th loss of the season where they lead in the 4th quarter, Vic Fangiolino Jolie said, this is the pits, Vikings 27, Broncos 24.
Starting point is 00:05:20 A word of warning, some of the pictures in this story might be tough to look at. Police are offering up to $38,000 as a reward for help in finding the person responsible for stabbing a dolphin to death. No one circles the wagons like a buffalo bills. Bills 37, 23, 4, 3. You absolutely right, boom. In Detroit where the Lions and Cowboys met and a cat moves and as so often happens in these movies, as seen on Disney Plus available now on Smart TVs nationwide, a lion named
Starting point is 00:05:54 Scar Pearl looked like he was going to be king for a day. Tony Pollard greens and Randall Corn on the cob were quality side dishes to the main course and extra large serving of baby duck ribs. Who's the best QB in the NFC? Maybe duck, maybe duck, maybe duck, maybe duck and much like the Wildebeest who killed Mufasa. Too soon, boom. Streaming now on Disney Plus, did I mention Disney Plus?
Starting point is 00:06:17 The Cowboys have Michael Gallop their way back into the lead in the NFC's Cowboys 35, the Lions, 27. What? What? What? What? What? What?
Starting point is 00:06:30 What? Standing on a corner, James Swinton Tampa, Florida, such a fine sight to see. It's an ugly scoreboard, 17 to 34, the bucks have a blind QB. What are these passes? You need some glasses? The Saints go marching through breeze, just kick their asses. Saints 34, I didn't write down all the scores, it's San Francisco, where Christian Kirk Harb Street and the Cardinals offense weren't flying high on their private jet Sunday.
Starting point is 00:07:12 The Niners were without the Pro Bowl tight end Greg Kittle for the second straight game as they're practicing Jimmy Garoppoload management. But in his absence, the Niners were able to slide a couple of balls into their back up very tight end Ross K.Y. Dwelly. I love the his and hers, boom. Pray for anyone who had the Cardinals plus 10 as the last play, had a whoop, and a whoop, and a whoop, and a whoop, and a fumble.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Cardinals fans, don't worry, be happy, don't worry, be happy now. Your future is in good hands with Kyler Murray, even if your fuckboy coach can't win a game. 49ers 36, Cardinals 26, whoop, fumble. We finish in Philadelphia, where an old wily vet from the Bay Area throws his first touchdown pass in the regular season. That's right, Julian Edelman made the Eagles defense look like they had popcorn lung with his third quarter touchdown pass. Benjamin Button Watson looks younger the older he gets.
Starting point is 00:08:18 And speaking of old young guys, Tom Brady still out there doing it. I remember a young swam and even younger Tom about to catch. Yeah, folks, I was there, look at all that hair, ultimately the game went through Nelson Monts Aguilar's hands, and the Eagles fall in the rematch of that Super Bowl, 52-17-10. There it is, week 11 in the books. Okay, what are we going to talk about today, big cat? We do always talk about the Sunday night game first. I think there are a lot of people out there waiting to hear us talk about the Jets Redskins.
Starting point is 00:08:53 I am. Saga Soros? Oh, Saga Soros. So fucking done with Matt Nagy as a football coach. Matt Nagy has done the impossible. He has made Mitch Tabrisky a sympathetic figure, and that happened in LA on Sunday night. I would say the impossible would be winning a game with Mitch Tabrisky. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:13 Well, you know what? Don't do that. Don't be overly mean. Remember, he's a sympathetic figure. The bare season is over. I feel like a fool for ever thinking they had it in them to win this game, even though the whole game was winnable until the last three minutes. The Bears were like, you know, one big play and there was a fumble that could have picked
Starting point is 00:09:33 up. There was a pick six that was right there. There were so many chances for the Bears to like basically what was it, snatched victory from the jaws of defeat or whatever the fuck the saying is. But Matt Nagy, you idiot, you're a coward. He throws Mitch Tabrisky under the bus with a phantom hip injury with the last possession of the game, bringing in Chase Daniel, and it is a joke. He's in over his head.
Starting point is 00:09:57 He's a clown. He's been a clown since he did the 43 yard kicking competition in the spring. Basically using the moment that was a horrendous moment with the double doink and making sure that the team thought about it every single day. His play calling is a joke, and now he has done the last thing. It is the death spiral. I mentioned it on Twitter, but Mark Trussman did the exact same thing when he was in his death spiral.
Starting point is 00:10:22 He benched Jay Cutler for Matt Barkley to basically try to say it's not me. It's the quarterback. And that is what Matt Nagy did tonight. And now he looks even worse because he did it in a game that Mitch wasn't even the like the biggest problem. Like it was, he's played worse. He was not good. And I, I, I am fully admit that Mitch is not the guy.
Starting point is 00:10:42 So I'm not going to sit here and be like, Oh, Mitch has it somewhere in him. He doesn't, but he, this was not the game to bench him. Like there were other games that he's been way worse. This was the game where, you know what? Guess what? Mitch didn't call a fucking option play to the short yard or short side of the field with your banged up running back on third and one. You did Matt Nagy.
Starting point is 00:11:03 You did. No, it was a bitch move. It was a bitch move by Matt Nagy to do that at the end of the game. If it was, it was a two possession game. Yeah. So it was actually credit to Matt Nagy for learning from last Thursday night's game. He didn't want to keep his starting quarterback in and a two score game and have him get hit over the head with a helmet.
Starting point is 00:11:19 That's it. So he's, he's learned from the mistakes that the Steelers made, but yeah, it was a bitch move, keeping them in there. It was a, excuse me, it was a bitch move, taking him out there and putting Chase Daniel in to get the world's saddest spark. It's, they were saying, they were like, I want a spark, then put literally anyone except for Chase Daniel. It's, it's also a spark list this quarterback in the history of the NFL.
Starting point is 00:11:40 The game is over. You are basically embarrassing Mitch Trubisky, who again, he's not the guy. No one is saying that everyone is, everyone is watching this and we all know that like something's going to have to change and the bears are going to have to bring in quarterbacks. But to embarrass him in a game that's basically lost and put in Chase Daniel, who is not, listen, I know there's some people who are like, Chase Daniel is better than Mitch Trubisky. Guess what? He's not, he's fine backup.
Starting point is 00:12:06 He's a perfect backup. I'm sure Chase Daniel, you know, marks every single box when it comes to a backup. He's a great locker room guy. He's a great teammate. He's a great guy in the film room. He can probably get you one or two wins here and there. It's just, you, you, you, if you bench Mitch Trubisky there, it better be for the future. You can't.
Starting point is 00:12:25 And that's not what happened. Chase Daniel is not the future. So you just did it so that you can push the blame off and have everyone think that it's not your fault and the whole genius visor thing is not so funny anymore. And I'm just so sick of it. And I think he's in way over his head and he's dealt with the media poorly all year and it's just a joke. The whole thing is a joke.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Bear season's officially done. The thing is a joke. And Cleo Mack, whenever you want to show up, that's fine too. You don't bench a quarterback at that point though. You don't, you just don't do it. Like there's no, like you said, there's no greater purpose that it's going to serve. You're not going to build on anything by bringing Chase in your, it's like breaking up with somebody on a plane at that point.
Starting point is 00:13:02 You should wait until the plane lands. Yes. Because otherwise. It was amazing. Yeah. The defense was pretty good. Every single night though, they do. They keep them in the game.
Starting point is 00:13:11 I know they keep them in the game. And then they run out of gas. That was probably an unfair shot at Cleo Mack. I'm just frustrated because when a Keem Hicks gets hurt, everyone looks worse and Cleo Mack doesn't have the numbers and they got all the, now the new, the new hotness, you know, like the, the, the verbal meme, looking at the, the new girl, the old girl is Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes were drafted after Miss Trubisky. The new one is this kid, Max Crosby, who's from Eastern Michigan, who has more sacks
Starting point is 00:13:39 for the Raiders than Cleo Mack does this year. Okay. $30,000 on the year. So that was a mistake. That's a new one. So John Gris was actually smart to get rid of this best player. That's the new hotness that I get to deal with every day. That's just people looking for like an opportunity to rub salt on the wood.
Starting point is 00:13:53 No, it's, Cleo Mack has not been the same guys last year, but also it's one of those weird things where you never know like how much he's impacting a game even without getting sacked. Right. The embrace at the end of the game was not, not great either, where it looks like they were both crying and hugging each other. No, he was whispering. He's like, Hey man.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Matt Nagy was covering up his, his mouth and his tears using the play card. Yeah. It says BU. Yeah. Inside and Matt Nagy is whispering to Mitch and saying, Hey man, just so you know, I had to bench you to try to keep my job. We're going to say it was a hip injury. So if you could just do me a solid and walk off the field with a little bit of a limp,
Starting point is 00:14:29 which he did, that would be awesome because I'm going to go to the press conference later and just say that you were hurt and we didn't want to get you further hurt and you're still our quarterback. Okay. Sounds good. So you're comparing that embrace to other movies and TV shows too. Like Hank compared it to Daenerys and John Snow. That was sick too.
Starting point is 00:14:47 That was a good one. That was a sick reference. You could do it for the Godfather. I know it was you. Yeah, Fredo. You could do it for of mice and men when Lenny and George and he shoots them in the head at the end of it. He squeezes them.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Old Yeller. It's probably old Yeller. More old Yeller. Just like take him out back and shoot him. It could be, it could be entourage. Hug it out. Hug it out, bitch. Hug it out, bitch.
Starting point is 00:15:06 That's what we do. Oh, it could be Titanic when Rose is on. So Matt Nagy is Rose and she's on the on the door and there's definitely room for Mitch to get on there. But he's like, no, just stay in the water. Just stay in the water. Wait, that would mean Matt Nagy is the coach of the Bears for like 80 more years. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:22 So he'll be around and then he'll get really old and then he'll throw his play card into the bottom of the Atlantic. He'll throw his Super Bowl ring that he wins next. He would chase Daniel. Man, I'm so sick of this shit. So my question is, what does Matt Nagy do well? Because we've established that he doesn't call plays well. We've established that he doesn't handle the media well, dude.
Starting point is 00:15:42 When he, well, he does the, uh, he has the BU card. He has the, the, the visor and then the shiny head NBC did the, um, which was just salt in the wound. They're like, look at all these fun plays he ran. Dude, he had an unbelievable, the best defense in the league last year. Yeah. And, and he was hired to be an offensive guy and it's just, we're going to get to other games where I'll blame guys who don't do well on their side of the ball.
Starting point is 00:16:06 So it's only fair of me to say Matt Nagy, it's your offense, dude. It's your offense. You know what the funnest play call they had tonight was, was when they ran, no, well, yes, they ran, they ran a fake, like they were going to run a play on fourth down and then they substituted the pump team out and said in the middle of the play, that was the funnest thing. When you, when the most creative your offense gets is running a fake, fake punt, you've got some problems.
Starting point is 00:16:29 You know what? I just realized the only thing that will save Matt Nagy, actually, no, this won't save him, but this is probably what he was thinking. He probably did this at the end of the game so that no one would talk about the fact that Eddie Paniero is a joke because Matt Nagy cares way too much about his kicker psyche so much that it actually like damages the kicker psyche. But Eddie Paniero, you're a joke too. And Matt Nagy said he's not going to bring in a new kicker because I mean, why would
Starting point is 00:16:54 you, right? He believes in his guy. Yeah, why would you? The guy can't fucking hit. So in a game that could have been one, if they fucking hit kick, I'm just trying to remember what happened exactly because he missed the 47 yard left and then right on the, but no, but wait on their next drive, they decided to go for on fourth and nine instead of kicking another 48 yard and then on the next drive, yeah, they tried a 47 yard and they missed
Starting point is 00:17:18 that. So he essentially iced his own kicker for an entire drive. Correct. Okay. It's the same thing. He did match. He's like, I don't have confidence in you. We're going for it on fourth and nine with the offense that I don't have confidence in.
Starting point is 00:17:30 And then the next time around, Oh, actually, I'm going to bring the guy who I just shattered his confidence back on the field to kick. Yeah. And neither offense look good tonight either. The Rams didn't look great for the, for the start of the game, it was just like punt, punt, fumble, punt, punt, punt, punt, miss field goal, punt. It was like your two biggest hate follows on Instagram quote tweeting or quote Instagram storing each other's stories that they're each tagged in.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Have you ever seen that where it becomes like a mirror inside of a mirror of the two worst people that you follow? I can't say I do. Yeah, it's bad. Have you dealt? Did you do? I've seen that a few times. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:04 It was a bad, I mean, it was exactly kind of how I thought it was going to go. I thought it was going to be an under where it was just shit, just garbage. Both offensive lines kind of stink. Both defense are good. Let's finish here. The bear season is officially over. The Thanksgiving game is going to be the saddest game ever in Detroit. Jeff Driscoll versus Chase Daniel, possibly sorry in advance to America that you have to
Starting point is 00:18:27 actually like because the Thanksgiving game is football and Thanksgiving is supposed to give you something to talk about so you don't have to talk to your family. When Chase Daniel and Jeff Driscoll face off in Detroit, you're going to just have to talk about like whether you're going to get pregnant in the next year or whether you're thinking about going back to law school or solid nose. Yeah. Right. Or, oh, that girl that you've been bringing around.
Starting point is 00:18:51 Why haven't you popped the question? All those things are going to be on the table when Jeff Driscoll and Chase Daniel face off. So I kind of disagree with you on that one because to me, when I think Thanksgiving football, I think just disaster Lions teams. That is like a nice familiar bit of nostalgia for me is like parking my ass on the couch and watching the Lions score six points. That's Thanksgiving. But here's the thing, when you when you're watching Thanksgiving football and family
Starting point is 00:19:17 members come around, they if they can sense it's actually a meaningful game, they kind of leave you alone or they'll try to get in on the game. And they can see that it's just garbage. That's when it's like, okay, well, there's no point for you to be watching this. That's kind of talk to me. So as an NFC North person, you probably kind of dealt with that more than I did. What I, in my mind, the Lions game is background noise while I'm frying the turkey, while I'm like helping with the mashed potatoes, whatever.
Starting point is 00:19:44 It's nice to have football on in the background, watch the fact guy in the pilgrim suit fall asleep Detroit. Yeah. So I know that it's about time for me to start focusing on football once they bring out the interducing. Yeah. Once that makes its appearance and then I'm like, yeah, now I got to turn the volume up. All right.
Starting point is 00:19:59 So we'll finish here. The bear season is completely done. They need a new quarterback and I think they need a new coach and the whole thing has become a complete disaster. Basically the worst possible scenario, but in a weird way, ultimately the most bears thing possible, because if you look at the bears history, it is marked by, by little blips of success followed by back down to the toilet. Like that's what the Chicago Bears are.
Starting point is 00:20:23 So I'm not surprised even though it sucks and I can't believe this team has bought them out so fast, but I'm not surprised. Jeff Fisher. What? Why not? Yeah. Why not? It's going to be a coach at Vanderbilt.
Starting point is 00:20:37 Ooh. Yeah. Oh, that's breaking moves. Well, we're going to start that. Okay. Yeah. Okay. So we'll consider it started right now.
Starting point is 00:20:45 Urban. Would you take Urban? Urban Meyer. No, I have morals. Oh, yeah. How much do you think Ryan Pace was when he was up in that glass cage of emotion at the end of the game and he was just like staring down? He kind of looks like Mitch, too.
Starting point is 00:20:57 I mean, right? Every time I see him, I think that it's like Mitch's uncle, and he drives the Camry, 1997. I mean, Ryan Pace. Do you ever wish that maybe Mitch, like just wish he had driven a slightly better car? Yes. Yeah. Yes. Everything would have been different.
Starting point is 00:21:13 Everything could have been different. If you had like, if you had an Avalon, if Mitch Trubisky drove a Toyota Avalon, then they would be like, that's the upscale model. That's pretty sweet. That's too flashy for me. Ryan Pace isn't, isn't absolved here either because people forget Ryan Pace's whole solution before he drafted Mitch Trubisky, the guy he fell in love with was Mike Glennon and giving him a bunch of money.
Starting point is 00:21:31 So let's not pretend that Ryan Pace is like completely free of guilt. No, but when Ryan Pace, so he's looking down at his coach, benching Mitch Trubisky in the fourth quarter. His love of his life. Yeah. To him, that's like, Negi is trying to be the last one alive on that life graph. Yeah. Like he's decided, made the call to kill.
Starting point is 00:21:49 It's a survivor. Yeah. He's made the call to kill Pace in his sleep and like, and go ahead and take that competition out of it because that is, they had like the biggest rules going as long as Mitch was still starting. There was still hope for Mitch. Then the draft pick was not a bust and Pace could save his ass. This is what dysfunctional teams do.
Starting point is 00:22:08 They have people who all have to go at each other to try to save each other's jobs, save their own job. And instead of working together, they're trying to just save their own job and it all just falls apart. But that's all right. Let's go on with that. Let's move on. Let's have some fun.
Starting point is 00:22:22 Week 11 was, it sucks that this was a Sunday night game. Well, we need to do get fucking national televised disasters. Always worse. I mean, let's just give a shout out as bad as this was for the Bears. This was a huge night for a guy, Blake Blake had probably the best reception of the night. No, seriously. He did. He got up in the air.
Starting point is 00:22:39 His hat was on. I don't want to say. But yeah, you got a good camera on him. He looks good. He looks really good. Hands for days. Okay. Let's start.
Starting point is 00:22:49 We'll go back in time. We'll go to Detroit. We just talked about it. I actually had it written down. This is going to be the saddest Thanksgiving game. Cowboys 35 Lions 20. I'm all bad. I'm bad with my scores today.
Starting point is 00:23:02 I think the line, oh, they had 27 the Cowboys. Let's start with the Cowboys still don't know who they are because they're five and one against losing teams. It is a team. They should have won. All I know is that Dak Prescott is very, very good. And silently getting himself into the MVP conversation at 444 yards. And afterwards he said he's never had more time in the pocket, which we'll talk about
Starting point is 00:23:28 Matt Patricia's defense in a second. But that's not a good sign. He's made himself a shit load of money this year so far and he kept cutting away to Jerry Jones. This was an all time Jerry Jones cut away game where they'd show him after every single time Dak made a good play. And Jerry to his credit, I think Jerry wants to pay him. Jerry would be delighted to give Dak the biggest contract ever.
Starting point is 00:23:47 In fact, that's probably what he hopes happens, even if Dak doesn't deserve the biggest quarterback contract of all time. Jerry wants to say like with Dallas Cowboys, we have the most expensive quarterback in the history of the NFL. He wants to like pop out of a cake. Yes, huge check. Yes. He was like, this is it.
Starting point is 00:24:02 We have the number one guy. Yes. So he's just excited that Dak is making him less and less and less insane looking where he does decide to cut him that check, which he will do 250 million dollars. Speaking of quarterbacks, we had on Sunday, Jeff Driscoll sign himself to five more years in the NFL. He has done enough as a backup quarterback. He has done exactly what you hope.
Starting point is 00:24:23 If you're a backup quarterback and your number gets called, you do just enough that forever for the next five, six, seven years, people will say Jeff Driscoll, he's a pretty good backup quarterback. He's got the moxie. He absolutely has a moxie. I forget what the spread was in this game. It was seven. It was seven.
Starting point is 00:24:39 Seven and a half. So it was a push. They went by eight. They went by eight. Okay. I was going to say, because when you're back up, you're essentially playing against the spread. Yes.
Starting point is 00:24:47 That's your job is to just cover. And if you can cover, then you are a qualified backup in this league. But he did enough and Daryl Bevel has enough going on offense that now should we talk about Matt Patricia? Can we say things about Matt Patricia? They put scrappy to that. Yeah, they were. They're a fight.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Their defense gave up so many yards and one of the best off again. Should I say, Dak Prescott said he's never had more time. They have a great offensive line. They do. They've got a lot of big boys up front. Also, Bo Scarborough, the running back for the Lions. I like him. I think it's his first start.
Starting point is 00:25:17 He's bounced around the league a little bit. He's built like a phone booth and he's just a guy that you don't want to try to tackle. He's got a great name. Yeah, Bo Scarborough. That's a great name. Is he a Michigan guy? He sounds like he should be. I think I'm just going to declare that now.
Starting point is 00:25:28 He went to Michigan. I think he was. Matt Stafford. If Matt Stafford starts this game, the Lions probably won. What? If Matt Stafford starts this game, the Lions probably wouldn't. He was Alabama. Three years starter Michigan.
Starting point is 00:25:39 Got it. Yeah. He's from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, as Alabama as it gets. So I have a staff for you then, Hank. Last 26 games for Jim Caldwell, 15 and 11. First 26 games for Matt Patricia, 9, 16 and 1. So what are you doing? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:25:58 What are you doing? He's rebuilding. And I probably am too trigger happy when it comes to coaches right now in the state I'm in and you probably shouldn't switch after two years. But it feels like the defense should be better. That's all I'm going to say. I'm not saying Matt Patricia should lose his job. I just think I'm speaking for Lions fans right now and I know Lions fans feel that
Starting point is 00:26:17 way that their defense is not good and you hired a guy to make the defense good and the offense has been good enough to win games. Yeah. I would be frustrated if I were Patricia or if I were having to deal with Patricia. But the fact is they didn't lose this game in a heartbreaking fashion. It was just kind of a normal run of the mill loss for the Lions. Yeah. Which is as good as a win for their fan base is like, OK, yeah, that's stuck.
Starting point is 00:26:40 We're used to this. At least they didn't get fucked by the refs at least they didn't get screwed by like a weird obscure rule rule at the very end of some weird chapter that just got written by Mike Pereira. They didn't get fucked over by a Hail Mary. So it's like it's a normal loss for the Lions. Just go home. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:57 Randall Cobb, by the way, has turned back the clock. He four catches 115 yards and that pisses me off that Randall Cobb is now good again. And the Cowboys, I don't know what to make of the Cowboys. I think they have a tough schedule down the stretch. And I think even the Eagles losing today, the Eagles probably have the inside track because they have a lot easier schedule in the last game. The last Cowboys Eagles game is in Philly. But the Cowboys offense like they have so many weapons.
Starting point is 00:27:22 I'm glad they're so good. They are. Their defense just their defense can't hang as much. I'm glad that you brought up the Eagles because everything that Dak does, you have to compare it to what Carson Wins does. Correct. They're always going to be compared. I'd say Dak probably has the leg up on Carson.
Starting point is 00:27:37 Yeah. I would much rather have Dak on my team than Carson Wins right now. It doesn't help. At this moment. It doesn't help that Carson Wins has no wide receivers that can stay healthy. Or catch the ball. Yeah. Or catch the ball.
Starting point is 00:27:48 We'll get there. OK. How about Jason Garrett? He met with the team this week with the Cowboys and basically apologized to him. So this is this goes back to the whole Kirk Cousins apology spreading thing. He got beat by Kirk Cousins in prime time. And then he had a player's only meeting with Jason Garrett where he just said to all of them.
Starting point is 00:28:07 Hey guys I'm sorry. I ruined a lot of stuff for you guys. I'm taking responsibility. I ran the ball with Zeke Elliott even though Dak was having the best game ever. Yeah. So the key right now if you want to win in the NFL is find somebody to say you're sorry to. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:18 I like that. I like that. So Jason Garrett still probably going to get fired. I feel like unless they win the Super Bowl and even if they win the Super Bowl Jerry my fire. Yep. And just like you know what it's time for change. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:28 He likes moving things in and out. Like this is Jerry's getting itchy. You know. Okay. Next up Jaguars Colts. Let's start with a Trey Wingo tweet that didn't happen but I know he wanted to. How could you bench Uncle Rico for Napoleon Dynamite. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:45 Trey Wingo definitely. He thought about that. He thought about tweeting that. But that was Nick Foles comeback game. That was basically one good drive and then it sucked. Jacoby Brissette it was his comeback game. Yes. So he looks really did.
Starting point is 00:28:58 His unofficial agent is Bill Parcells. I did. Yes. I knew they were like best friends in like Florida they met. Yeah. So he Jacoby Brissette doesn't have an agent because in his words he doesn't want anybody else bullshitting on his behalf. So he negotiated his whole contract with the Colts by himself with the aid and advisement
Starting point is 00:29:15 of Bill Parcells. Yes. Which is such like a funny conversation to imagine happening. Well especially because Jacoby Brissette probably went to his meeting with like a big cowboy hat and was like let's do let's do some let's let's take our belts off. And let's negotiate. Uh huh. Let's do it.
Starting point is 00:29:31 The best play of this game was a play that didn't count which is Quentin Nelson's one yard touchdown run that got taken off the board. But the celebration stands forever. Yes. He did a cake stand. It took like five people to lift him up in the air. I think it's almost better that it didn't count because it's like it's it stands even more now.
Starting point is 00:29:46 It's more memorable. Right. For sure. And I was just I was looking at that and thinking dear God how many beers do you think Quentin Nelson could drink. And once it probably like probably 70 or 80 a Wade Boggsian amount of beer would be consumed by that man. He has like a he has like a six pack.
Starting point is 00:30:01 I've never seen someone who is as big and strong as him and like has to put on weight to be an offensive lineman and still be as ripped. So maybe I would see him just not drinking beer because he's just all he wants to do is pancake people. Yeah. But that's the easiest way to put on weight though. True. Is just making just drinking beer and eating literal pancakes.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Yes. And what I'd have to have him run the ball is he's not there to block for himself in front of himself. Right. Which is why he didn't get into the end zone and in credit to the Colts for being like hey we're just going to run the ball and run the ball and run the ball some more. I think they had was it 250 or 264 Russian yards. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:38 That's insane. It is crazy in like today's NFL. I kind of love it. The Colts are a throwback team where Jacobi Berset is I think they did that because Jacobi Berset's coming back from his injury and they're like we don't want to put too much stress on them. But it does feel like the Colts can just go and like go hat on hat man up football when they want to.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Yeah. That makes me so happy. Yeah. Right. Doesn't it. Yeah. I saw you tweet this out earlier today about how when you went to St. Elmo's you asked him what Andrew Luck ordered.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Hank was there. Remember that Hank. And he orders the chicken. We're in the Peyton Manning Room downstairs in the basement. It was five years ago. Not a big deal. And we not a big deal. I think Burger King had paid for us to be there.
Starting point is 00:31:17 And we we were sitting there and the waitress was like we asked like oh so there's Peyton Manning Room. So you used to always come down here. He's like yep. So does Andrew Luck come here now. She's like oh yeah he comes. Not as much as Peyton. And he's like what does he order.
Starting point is 00:31:30 He gets the chicken. Yeah. Nervous little bird. Nervous little bird. That's right. Retired. Harbaugh was 100 percent correct. Retired.
Starting point is 00:31:38 What do you think Berset orders. He probably just gets only shrimp. Only the shrimp cocktail. I would say he gets or he does like bone in bone in rib eye and then eats it with his hands. Yeah. Like he's he's a man's man. Quinn Nelson wears the helmet.
Starting point is 00:31:50 Yeah. Just brings his own cow in. Yes. He's like I'm going to kill this at my table if that's fine. Mind if I cut this this cow's neck real quick and bleed it out. Yeah. Yeah. So that's that's what the Colts are now.
Starting point is 00:32:00 They have whatever you are in the NFL. If you don't have the most talent which the Colts don't as long as you have an identity you can win. Yeah. Like they have an identity. They have what they want to do. Their identity is basically Quentin Nelson is going to act like he's in a bar fight against the worst frat at your school and just run around shoving five guys over.
Starting point is 00:32:20 And then and then Baldy watches the tape on Monday and just keeps nuts coming and coming and coming. Yeah. Yeah. He just gets so excited. Okay. So now the Colts are now first in the AFC South and I think they're playing Thursday night against Houston.
Starting point is 00:32:36 Right. Yeah. Okay. Loser leaves town. And the Jags. I don't know what you do. I was all in favor of starting Nick Foles because you kind of have to because what you're paying him.
Starting point is 00:32:46 But he was bad after the first touchdown. I missed. I missed my uncle Rico man. Yeah. Me and Trey. Damn. I really did. I missed it.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Gardner Minshew say what you want about him. But he makes Sundays a little more special around my house. It was also pretty weird that the Jags I think they ran the ball like nine times which is the opposite of the Colts. It just felt felt. I don't know. Maybe they were like hey we have Nick Foles back. He can do everything.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Let him air it out a little bit. I don't know. Maybe they realized that Leonard Frenett is just getting lucky recently with his long runs. By the way did you see was it Jamal Adams and Leonard Frenett got into this league off. Yeah. That was on Friday I think it was what was Leonard saying. No it was during it was because of the LSU Alabama fighters on Monday night that's where
Starting point is 00:33:25 it started. Oh I thought it was I thought it was Thursday because of the Miles Garrett thing. It was. Yeah. Yeah. And Leonard Leonard Frenett said that Jamal Adams faked an injury or the other way around. I think maybe Jamal Adams said that Leonard Frenett. We're doing a terrible job of retelling.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Yeah. But you get it. The bottom line is it was guys bust each other's balls. Yeah. Bottom line is beautiful to watch. The NFL can do this league too. Leonard Frenett said Jamal Adams was hiding during a party at LSU and then Jamal Adams said coming from the guy that quit on our team and faked an injury and then Leonard Frenett
Starting point is 00:33:56 was like well I still went fourth overall. So it's just but like it was all kind of fair. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Before we get to the next one. Shivis leading blended scotch whiskey Shivis Regal has launched a special new blend Shivis 13 Manchester United special edition.
Starting point is 00:34:12 We actually got some some to our desk. Delicious. I had a glass on on Friday night before dinner. So good. And I'm not like a big drinker and Shivis is I might have to get back on the wagon because in honor of the teams not during Monday nights I hope that's not true yet. Definitely not during the cleanup night in honor of teams 13 Premier League title wins under the management of Sir Alex Ferguson portions of the 13 year old scotch are selectively
Starting point is 00:34:37 finished in American Rycast to magnify the sweet delicate notes of the unrivaled Shivis house style resulting in an exceptionally smooth scotch with notes of sweet and juicy orange citrus creamy milk chocolate and a dusting of cinnamon. Shivis 13 Manchester United special edition is the first 13 year old scotch to be released by Shivis exclusively in the U.S. and is available on shelves this fall. Shivis Regal is Regal I think is the world's first luxury whiskey renowned for its benchmark quality and taste style substance and exclusivity. Shivis Regal believes that blended is better in life and in scotch.
Starting point is 00:35:16 We love it. So you need to get it. Shivis do it now. OK let's do Bill's Dolphins next. Bill's this guys. You ready for this. This was the Josh Allen game. It was huge.
Starting point is 00:35:30 His best game is a pro and I want to take this moment to pat ourselves on the back. We nailed it. We nailed it. So quick pat. Hit it. Hit it. Hit it. Hit it.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Hit it. Hit it. Hit it. We told the bills to draft Josh Allen. They listened and they're they're reaping the rewards right now in the form of a double digit victory at the Dolphins. He had three touchdowns and an and a Russian touchdown. After that game do you think Brian Flores pulled his kicker sign was like hey if you ever
Starting point is 00:35:56 do a fucking onside kick in a game that I'm trying to lose I will kill you. Oh that was my say something nice about the Dolphins. It was nice. It was an awesome onside kick and it was the second one that's been recovered all season. It was a very it was a great onside kick but it really accomplished. If I'm their coach or I'm the GM of the Dolphins if they even have one I'm mad that we're trying that hard to win a game. I think the the the kicker recovering his own onside kick is one of the most electric
Starting point is 00:36:23 plays in football because you don't know what to do afterwards and it never happens right. It happens like you get to see it once every few years where it's just perfect and he did it perfectly. The downside to record to recovering your own onside kick as a kicker is in the immediate aftermath usually get like a hip bump or like a shoulder bump or something from one of your own players that knocks you down onto the ground. Yeah because then you look like a wuss.
Starting point is 00:36:43 Yeah you recover it internal yeah and then you get up and you do like a jump up and then get smoked and then you get smoked by your own dramatic. Yeah exactly. I would just I would crawl off the field if I was a kicker in that situation. Josh Allen has five straight games with two touchdowns and zero interceptions. Now that could also be rushing not just passing. Sure. One of them he had zero touchdowns passing but two rushing.
Starting point is 00:37:07 But either way I feel like this is the Josh Allen is like starting to show it and it feels exciting for the Bills and I have a question for you PFT the Bills are now seven and three best records since 1993 this far into the season or 1999 sorry this far into the season. The teams they have beaten. I don't I don't care. Hold on. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:32 So they're legit. Yeah. Wait you said seven wins. Seven and three. Okay. So they beat seven NFL teams. That are a combined. Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:40 15 and 55. Agreed. They beat seven NFL teams. 15. They're legit. The Bills are legit. I looked at their schedule too. We do this every week with the Bills.
Starting point is 00:37:48 We look ahead. There's no way that they can keep playing this type of schedule and they're not going to but I think they're going to win three more games. I if you're a Bills fan I think you're well in within your right to just say to openly admit it's all year. We haven't beaten anyone. We don't care. Seven and three is seven and three.
Starting point is 00:38:05 You are sometimes you're basically playing like the Big Ten West schedule. You get to beat up on on like Purdue and well Nebraska I don't want to be meaning Nebraska I've been trying not to be meaning Nebraska but you get to beat up on some people and then you get to say look at us. We're awesome. Listen you can only play who they schedule you. So if you want to go back and talk you know 10 years in the future we can talk about scheduling some more difficult out of conference opponents for the Bills.
Starting point is 00:38:33 We when we when we get when the Bills scheduled Florida State they were still good. Exactly. They didn't know they were going to hire Willie Taggart. It's not their fault. Exactly. That's a brand name. That's a marquee program. The Miami Dolphins.
Starting point is 00:38:45 They were the only NFL team to go undefeated true and the Bills scheduled them twice for two games. They've got no fear. No fear when it comes to this. So yeah they can only play who they're going to play. I will say this about about the Dolphins Ryan Fitzpatrick still looks like he's got some zip on the ball. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Yeah. Devonte Parker's not bad. He's every time they say his name I'm like oh yeah he's good. The stadium looks like a great place to take a nap. Yeah it's going to host the Super Bowl. Yeah I can't wait. That'll be something nice about the Dolphins. Do you have anything nice about the Dolphins say Hank?
Starting point is 00:39:19 The kick was great. The kick was great. It was great. It was great to watch. I bet the Dolphins money line and I they had a chance. No not really. No don't go too far. Josh Allen just never had a chance.
Starting point is 00:39:29 Absolutely plugged up their blowhole with his dick and said you're not breathing. They were never even close. But that's that's okay you tried to say something nice. I have noticed about Josh Allen he scores a lot of touchdowns on rushes where he sticks the ball out with his giant hand huge that everyone said oh he's got it's not a big deal he's got over 10 inch hands well guess what he's just like grazing the pile on so many times over the course of a season he probably gets two extra touchdowns a year because his hands are slightly bigger.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Yeah when Derrick Carr and Josh Allen see each other at the Pro Bowl Derrick Carr is definitely going to be like can you just put your hands right over mine for a second. Yeah quick let's take this picture like always sunny. Yeah. All right so the bills are seven and three feeling good. Ten doesn't matter who they play. No cares. No.
Starting point is 00:40:13 Also John Brown's awesome. Yes. That was a great great job by the bills. He's awesome. What did Warren Sharp say they they went the opposite way they just got small fast wide receivers instead of big wide runners underneath Josh Allen's balls. Yeah that's brilliant. It's very brilliant.
Starting point is 00:40:27 Okay next up let's do the historic game. I'm talking about the Broncos and Vikings because we had the this is the game where when you sit and tell yourself they're statistically do this is this is the game we're talking about teams were oh and 99 excuse me when trailing by 20 or more half and Kirk Cousins as a Viking was oh 10 and one when trailing in the fourth quarter and the Vikings won they came back from 20 points and at halftime they won this game Kirk Cousins has his feel good game. Holy shit are the Vikings good.
Starting point is 00:41:07 I'm starting to believe in the Vikings and I know it's done but I apologize and then I asked if I should have the Vikings fans should apologize to me for asking me to apologize to him. Well this is my other apology that I'm making right now. I am a believer in the Minnesota Vikings. I still have a lot of questions about Kirk Cousins but I'm kind of believing in them now because this game right here this is the exact game that Minnesota Vikings would be on the other side of well this is the exact type of heartbreak.
Starting point is 00:41:37 That the Vikings franchise has dealt with consistently and the fact that maybe they've just seen it happen so many times to them that they finally learned how to win that exact game. Yep. But a win like this that's something that you can actually build on that. That's a good point and it also if not a comeback loss like the Broncos suffered the Vikings at least the old Vikings would have just rolled over and died like they would have come out in the second half and it would have been more of the same.
Starting point is 00:42:04 I think of that game they lost last year to the Bills when there were 17 point favorites at home. They're 10 and a half point favorites today and whatever it is. I don't know what it is but this Vikings team does feel a little bit different and Kirk Cousins we're going to say some nice things about Kirk. He has been awesome this year. He's been really good. He has 18 touchdowns and three interceptions.
Starting point is 00:42:25 He's won a big game prime time game. He won today. So I'm very excited to bet against him in the playoffs but everything else is nice. That's actually a really nice thing to say about Kirk Cousins implying that he's going to make the playoffs. Well my favorite thing is when when teams win that I've maybe not been like nice to because well either they're my rival or whatever fans will always say like put a gun to my head and be like say something nice about Kirk Cousins say something nice about Vikings.
Starting point is 00:42:56 So I said that I said Kirk Cousins has been phenomenal this year and I am so excited to bet against him in the playoffs. So excited. Kirk Cousins has played exceptionally well after sneaking up on Adam Thielen in his sleep and slicing his hamstring just a little bit with a scalpel after the brew haha they had together. Yeah. Kirk's been good.
Starting point is 00:43:15 I still don't think he's a great quarterback but the Vikings are playing well. Mike Zimmer laughed in the press conference afterwards. Now there are certain things that a head coach like Mike Zimmer will laugh about in a press conference. One is coaches will laugh about their wives being mad at him a lot. You're allowed to laugh about that. You're allowed to laugh at a reporter asking a question where they don't know what they're talking about from a football stance.
Starting point is 00:43:38 Yep. And then you're allowed to laugh at the fact that that game just took years off your life and you're probably going to die sooner because of it and that's what he went with this time. Don't forget the one the one dark horse if like a fire alarm goes off or someone walks in like opens a door that they shouldn't open. Yeah. You can laugh at that.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Yeah. That's like blooper. That's a classic. That's like a slapstick when it comes to for head coaches they can they can recognize that moment and be like oh I should laugh. This is unusual. Yeah. This is crazy.
Starting point is 00:44:07 Should we talk about the Broncos. I've got a quote here. OK. I have a quote too. I have one question. Yeah. Where is Drew Locke. Good question because there was an interview I think it was Vaughn Miller said this after
Starting point is 00:44:20 practice. He said Drew Locke is going to kill it. He's going to kill it. He's got everything you need. The other day he ran out and did a little bootleg and kind of threw it. It was an incomplete pass but I've seen a lot of good ones play and that was probably the best incomplete pass that I've ever seen thrown. So it sounds like he might be the answer in Denver.
Starting point is 00:44:38 OK. So that's I love that quote and I was going to say John Elway this is the worst case scenario for the Broncos because the Broncos have now had four losses of four points or less and four losses where they've been leading in the fourth quarter. So John Elway can reasonably tell himself they're right there. They're just so close like the pieces are there. They're going to be fine except for Vic Fangio who I don't know if you saw there was an article this week that Vic Fangio is maybe losing the locker room.
Starting point is 00:45:12 Yeah. What was he doesn't have great people skills and that is the biggest you think of all time that Vic. Vic Fangio was never hired for his people skills. He's been a defensive coordinator for like basically 85 years and he's only 60. And so he was hired to be grumpy and to not get along with anyone and hopefully coach the hell out of the defense. So I it's just interesting that they hired Vic Fangio and then in a matter of a half
Starting point is 00:45:40 of season they're like hey this guy's this guy's not really like he doesn't really say like hey what's up or how's your wife or hey you know got any plans for the weekend. He's kind of grumpy about it. Yeah. No shit. It's Vic Fangio. Yeah. You hired Bill Belichick's personality without all the winning that goes along with like
Starting point is 00:45:56 yeah if you hire a grumpy guy and you're winning football games you're adorable. Yes. You're so grumpy you're adorable. You're like look how mad he is even though you should be happy right now. But if you're just grumpy and the team's bad then it becomes a shit storm. John Elway did give him a vote of confidence after the game. Oh nice. So Elway's got his back which Elway might not have a vote of confidence.
Starting point is 00:46:14 But that's good. You just pass it around. He doesn't have a vote of confidence to give. This is well no he might he might be I'm pretty sure once the ownership situation gets figured out. Bill Gates by which is giving his confidence to because that person doesn't have confidence in LA. The fans don't have confidence in Elway but Elway has used his confidence of just being
Starting point is 00:46:35 John Elway to then give it to Vic Fangio. That's the only vote that he has right of his own company is very confident man. But no one has confidence in Elway. So he's basically just passing around confidence that he doesn't have. So he's printing fiat confidence correct. And there's nothing in the federal reserve of confidence. Yes. There's no actual gold confidence backing that off.
Starting point is 00:46:55 It's the picture of like Germany right before the recession when it's just like the little kid sitting with bundles of cash. Well that ended well so that's John Elway right now. He's sitting in his office with bundles of fake confidence that he keeps printing his pre World War two Germany right now in Denver Colorado. I wouldn't be shocked if John Elway was like said to his secretary who absolutely calls Han and he was like Han. Can you go go to the printer real quick and print me some more of that confidence that
Starting point is 00:47:22 I got. And she's just printing off sheets that literally say John Elway's confidence. Yeah. And he's handing them out left and right as people come into the facility. Yeah. He's got the real expensive ones the real pricey confidence. He frames and then tells gives them people be like hang this one on your wall. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:38 Yeah. One's worth its weight in gold. So he's got Brandon Allen who he's doesn't have a vote of confidence and no because Brandon Allen is but six foot two and too many Alans and too many Alans going on. We'll talk about Kyle on a minute but the Alans are Josh. We have Josh. Josh is good. Josh is Alan one.
Starting point is 00:47:53 And the other ones I think it's I think it's enough is enough. Yes. And then they've got Flacco who you want to talk about a guy that's getting old yellowed and taken out back right now. Yeah. At the end of his leash. Maybe Chicago Bears take him. That would fit in perfectly.
Starting point is 00:48:07 It would be just another bridge quarterback for the next year. Knock off a couple more years on my health. Yeah. And then you can laugh about that too because you're a football guy like Mike said. Yeah. So then they've got 40. Then they've got Drew Lock and Drew Lock I think is healthy now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:22 But he's not playing and throwing great incompletions and insanely good incompletions. Okay. So the Broncos are a mess. So we've figured out from all this is that the Vikings are good and the Broncos are a complete disaster. Yes. So next up let's go Saints Bucks Saints 34 bucks 17 PFT I have the C key question for you.
Starting point is 00:48:41 By the way we're on Barstow Gold Barstow Gold dot com slash PMT you can watch us break down all of week 11 on Barstow Gold dot com slash PMT. Okay. PFT the C key question promo code take ten dollars off. You can go watch an NFL game. Go to the Thanksgiving game promo code take ten dollars off your C key purchase. I bet you the game like the Bears line is going to be a nine dollar ticket. Yes.
Starting point is 00:49:06 So they'll pay you to go if you put in promo code take how many interceptions does James Swinson have this season 17 18 18 18 and 10 games Congrats. He had another four today. Now the back interception that I that wasn't James's fault but I think James has gotten to the point where he's like your unlucky friend who nothing's really his fault but he keeps like you know getting fired from his job and you know has girl problems and his car breaks down all the time and it's like and then when his car breaks down he takes an Uber and he finds the one Uber driver that doesn't want to be hit on by him.
Starting point is 00:49:46 Right. Exactly. That kind of thing. Exactly. So he is that friend who's like yeah you know if things were different maybe it would work out but right now you're just unlucky. There's a lot of stuff that adds up and it can't all be it can't all be bad luck. Right.
Starting point is 00:50:00 There's something else behind that. That back the back interception where explain it so that people didn't watch the game. So he threw a pass. Who was it. Was it OJ. They might have been OJ Howard. And then OJ like puts it behind his back as he's bobbling it and then it bounces off his back and he gets tackled and and the Saints recover.
Starting point is 00:50:17 They're the Harlem Globetrotters of turning the ball over. Yeah. They have the most spectacular fumbles and interceptions of any team I've seen in a long time. Very entertaining. James was squinting again. He was big time squinting squinting big time doesn't help the plays in Florida. People say like oh it's so cool.
Starting point is 00:50:34 Patrick Mahomes. There was another no look pass. James Winston throws every pass no look because he can't see the field and not see. So I was looking it up because I was hoping that James Winston could get the record for interceptions in a season. What do you think the record is for interceptions in a season. It's got to be far. Right.
Starting point is 00:50:53 Nope. It's a pre Super Bowl era and then a post Super Bowl era. How could you. The pre Super Bowl era has got to be like four because they passed the ball six times. No no no no no. I found some shit. George Blanda who's a Hall of Famer mind you in the year 1962 in a 14 game season. How many interceptions do you have 14 games.
Starting point is 00:51:15 I don't know. It's got to be a lot then 30 42 the fuck Blanda dude I was back up shocked when I saw this and ready for the craziest part the team went 11 and 3 and he threw 42 how many touchdowns they had. Oh like 20. I don't know. He he finished his George Blanda. All right.
Starting point is 00:51:34 So here was my favorite game of football. Here's my favorite game week seven. He went eight for 18 104 yards zero touchdown six interceptions. He had 42 interceptions. George Blanda by the way is our new guy for any Hall of Fame case we want to make like James Winston is a Hall of Famer because George Blanda is a Hall of Famer because he went for 53 and 50 as a quarterback two hundred thirty six touchdowns two hundred and seventy seven interceptions.
Starting point is 00:52:00 That isn't George Bland had 42 interceptions in a 14 game schedule. It's six interceptions in two games. So I'm looking on pro football reference right now. They actually have it graded out by by fantasy points for him to kind of like how we're talking about with Jerry Rice. So he had a number of games that were like negative one four points two points. And they and they were a fucking good team. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:52:24 Yeah. The 11 and three unbelievable. Yeah. James. It must have been punts. Maybe that's what punts were back in the day. You just throw it in. Instead of interceptions.
Starting point is 00:52:32 Yeah. We always say you learn more from a turnover than you do from a touchdown. Yeah. Blanda learned a shitload and then he got good and became a Hall of Famer. James is just storing up all this knowledge that he's gaining from throwing in these interceptions. So the post Super Bowl or the Super Bowl era is Vinnie Tessa Verde in 1980 at 35 interceptions. Shout out Vinnie. 35 so we're probably not going to get there with James.
Starting point is 00:52:52 I was hoping when I saw it I was like man this would be great if James could just get us a record like because imagine week 16 and 17 watching James try to get the record. That would be thrilling. But I don't think he's so we have hope maybe if he if he goes crazy here in the end he could maybe break Vinnie Tessa Verde's Super Bowl era 35 interceptions. But I don't know. Wait is he on pace to break that or no to 18 interceptions in 10 games. OK.
Starting point is 00:53:20 So we're going to crank it up here but here James he's going to need to start taking some chances James. And it's actually like the only reason it could happen is I think Bruce Arians loves James Winston. He loves throwing the ball deep. Yeah. He's never going to stop throwing the ball deep. Bruce Arians probably just looks at James Winston like assisted suicide.
Starting point is 00:53:38 Yeah. I got a C on my last physical that I took. I thought that was really good. If James can just keep throwing interceptions then I'll achieve my lifelong goal of just passing away on the sidelines and a smile on my face. Yeah. He's going to do it for me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:52 Thank you James. You're the perfect quarterback for it. He also threw a pass left handed completed. Yes. That was that was a real shocker. Yeah. So good job. And then as for the Saints I feel like the Saints this is a big game just answering
Starting point is 00:54:04 the bell because everyone's like what's going on with the Saints why they lose the Falcons. They absolutely pasted the Bucks here and that's what they should have done. It was a little handshake deal from Bruce Arians to Sean Payton saying hey thanks for letting the Falcons beat you and insuring an extension for Dan Quinn. So we'll let you run rough shot on us today. Yeah. The Bucks jerseys were too red today. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:25 And also I don't like I don't like the the numbers. Yeah. Where it looks like it's yeah like a digital clock. Yep. These I that I will stand on the table and defend to my death hating. And that is the alarm clock numbers that remind me too much of waking up in the morning on the Bucks jerseys and then the Apple commercial where it has the sound of your alarm going off.
Starting point is 00:54:49 And I hear it and I it just makes my blood pressure rise. Yeah. I fucking hate that. You should not be allowed to do a fake alarm in a commercial. It's genius. It always gets your attention. I hate it. It always gets your attention.
Starting point is 00:55:01 That orange vanilla Coke. Remember that. Oh yeah. That was the worst. I wish that Michael Thomas would stand out a little bit for something that he does because he's so good. Yeah. But he doesn't.
Starting point is 00:55:10 If you ask me what is one thing that Michael Thomas does really well. My answer to you is going to be route running. And that's my answer when I don't know what he does really catching. He's got good hands. And it's legal receptions. Yeah. He's a great ball skills. Great route runner.
Starting point is 00:55:23 But I can't find the ball. I couldn't tell you off the top of my head what he is the best in the league at. But he is. Catching. He's he's. 90 catches. 10 games. He's the best catcher.
Starting point is 00:55:33 He's a ball hog. Yeah. Easy. Yeah. He's he's just great catch. He's always open and always catches the ball. Yeah. So the Saints are back on track.
Starting point is 00:55:41 Back in the conversation for best team of the NFC. I don't know. I feel like all the NFC teams we talk about it at the end but like they're all a little bit flawed. Saints Vikings Seahawks 49ers Packers Packers. It's bad. I don't know. They're all like I could look at him and like maybe I guess every every team though.
Starting point is 00:55:59 They're the only team right now that feels almost untouchable is the Ravens. Yeah. We'll get to in a second. Agreed. Only team. Just. Yeah. I mean the Patriots have some offensive line issues.
Starting point is 00:56:10 That's all I say. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right. Jets Redskins. Sam Darnold. Back.
Starting point is 00:56:18 Back. Run the table. Needed to play a bad team. They did it. Run the table. The. Yo. If they beat the Raiders.
Starting point is 00:56:26 This is similar to my. Raiders beat the Rams. It opens the portal. If they beat the Raiders next week. Raiders have to go to New York. Always tough. Time. Clock.
Starting point is 00:56:36 They got the Bengals and the Dolphins. They could quickly become six and seven. They can. And then you don't know. Then the table might get ran. I have a question for you big cat. Yeah. And I don't know the answer to this.
Starting point is 00:56:44 So maybe you will. Has an interim head coach ever been fired. Bill Bryant should should. Callahan Callahan. Sorry. Bill Bryant also should. You really hate the mix. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:54 I'm not a fan of the Irish. Well Bill Bryant should have been fired a long time ago. Yeah. So I don't. I'm going to firing frenzy right now. I'm like I'm ready to fire everyone. Yeah. You're lashing out.
Starting point is 00:57:02 I really am. It feels good to just like fire that guy. Fire that. It's it's really the only outlet a fan has. Uh-huh. Just like fire. Shit. Can't fire that guy.
Starting point is 00:57:11 Callahan is not going to get fired because it really wouldn't accomplish anything except maybe you elevate Rob Ryan or Jim Tom Sula to head coach. Yeah. So fun. To interim interim head coach. Yeah. That would be a perfect job title for Jim Tom Sula to have considering the other jobs that he's had.
Starting point is 00:57:26 Assistant. Yeah. What was one like like cat salesman. He was like a auto mechanic. Yeah. I think it was. Yeah. Like a cat cat vomit cleaner.
Starting point is 00:57:35 Rangler. With cat. An interim interim head coach position for Jim Tom would be pretty solid. I like that. Uh the Redskins are just trash. Here's how bleak things are for this franchise. You ready. Uh they tried to get a sell the team chant going.
Starting point is 00:57:49 Yeah. In the stadium. But there weren't enough people in the stands to make it happen. So funny. Which is a great job by Dan Sider. Like he's made himself immune to receiving criticism for his own fan base. Yes. Because it's three quarters filled with opposing teams fans every weekend.
Starting point is 00:58:05 Genius. Um so my in my I addressed this last week but I'm obsessed with teams that are losing or teams that are bad having to hop on Twitter and tweet something good that happened. Today's teams that are bad that tweeted something good that happened came from the Redskins when they scored down 34 to three in the fourth quarter and they just used a bunch of exclamation points and then got roasted online. Well I mean it's so awesome. To be fair I think we had gone 15 quarters without a touchdown at that point.
Starting point is 00:58:38 Yeah. Since October 13th. Yeah. It had been 35 calendar days since the Redskins last touchdown. Yes. And you could take that and add 14 more onto it uh if you don't count the Miami Dolphins touchdowns. Yes.
Starting point is 00:58:54 Because those are really asterisks as well. Right. But yeah it's it's been a tough season tough offensive season. Okay. So I have the fix. For the Washington Redskins. That doesn't include Dan Sider selling the team because he never is. The Redskins should draft Tua.
Starting point is 00:59:09 That would fix it all. Here's. Hold on. Hold on. Bring me out. Hold on. Here me out. Here me out.
Starting point is 00:59:18 Keeping their lower legs. Here me out. Here me out. No. No. You know what you'd like to have to do this season and make sure you're not unhealthy for next year. You if you draft Tua.
Starting point is 00:59:31 You have now two shots at the franchise quarterback situation here because Dwayne Haskins is bad but I also am like he's pretty much in the worst possible situation. Kind of Josh Rosen last year. Where can we accurately figure this out when he doesn't have a coach and it's like it's offensive line today. He's like, come on guys, we're football players. We play for that sort of thing. And the offensive line just looked at him like, dude, you, this is Washington. He had an awesome throw. His best throw is a pro and then it was immediately called back for holding. But if they draft Tua and then Tua, you, you can sit to a next year, let
Starting point is 01:00:07 him get a hundred percent healthy. See if Dwayne Haskins is the guy when you bring in a new coach. And then if he's not, you now have, you didn't just say, Oh, well, Dwayne Haskins is going to be fine. We'll just walk, you know, we'll, we'll just let this high pick go when we have a guy who could be awesome, but it's hurt. Like it's a perfect storm. They could put Tua on ice for a year training staff. I know, I know, I know, I know, I know. But I'm just saying this is a smart team would do something like this. We're like, Hey, we just drafted a guy, but we can now get a guy maybe at a discount. I don't, I don't think you understand just how bad the situation would be. So in addition to the training
Starting point is 01:00:45 staff, which is, which is misdiagnosing cancer in their players for five years in a row and the field that he would have to play on, that would be like the Amsterdam Admirals drafting Josh Gordon. It's fine. It would be a bad situation. I'm telling you though, I would rather, if you're a Redskins fan, I'd rather take Tua, let him sit for a year and then draft a guy who is like, you know what? He's probably in three years going to be really good and then demonstrate. I don't know. I don't want to see that happen. Can we? Okay. So I had a question for you, PFT as well for this game. Oh, one other thing. Jamal Adams is like, why you don't trade your awesome players, even if they're pissed off
Starting point is 01:01:23 because he's fucking awesome. He had three sacks. Say we had three sacks today, but he's awesome. And that's why like, if you're, if your best player says, Oh, I don't want to be here, just do whatever you can to make sure that they're happy. That's what you do. Um, I saw, I took a, I took a picture when, uh, Robbie Anderson scored a touchdown. He like basically went in the crowd and next to him was a guy wearing a Jets helmet. Yep. Fully strapped up. So my question is rank these fans helmet strapped up helmet fan. Yeah. Face paint fan, receiver gloves fan. Okay. I'm going to go, I'm going to go face paint fan number one on there because you can always take a helmet off. It takes you
Starting point is 01:02:06 at least like 30 minutes to get your face cleaned off entirely. Yeah. Yeah. And when you have the face paint on, you probably have to stop in a store or like run some errands at some point in your day while you're still wearing the face paint. And that's just like a laugh out loud funny situation for me. Yeah. Like a guy running into his bank to like drop off his paycheck while he's all, he's got like the Zubaz coloring on the face. Um, yeah, he's got like a little in his, in his like sideburns. He's got a little bit of paint still there on Tuesday. Yeah. Justin Trudeau has given numerous state of the union speeches with like some polish. Yeah. So then I'm going number two helmet fan. Okay. I like helmet
Starting point is 01:02:43 fan especially because you can put the beers on the side and make it a foam dome. Oh, that's not real though. I'm talking real helmet. You got to wear the real helmet. The team issued authentic one. Yeah. Yeah. By the way, American Ninja Warriors on that's the sign that we're about to get loopy. That's the sign. Yeah, that is literally the Sunday side. That's like waking up and was it charmed is still on your TV after the NCAA tournament? Wait, I just saw one of the producers for American Ninja Warrior is named Kyle Weed. Yeah, Kyle Weed. Pretty sick. What a fucking name. Yeah. Kyle Weed and he works on American and he's definitely in CBD business. So number three, you have receiver gloves, receiver gloves.
Starting point is 01:03:16 And I'm not, I'm not poo pooing the receiver gloves. I like the receiver gloves. I love receiver gloves guy because receiver gloves guy. First of all, they do the thing where they can act it in the end zone. And then receiver gloves guy. You can always see the receiver gloves guy because he's the type of guy who wears like he doesn't go to the gym, but he wears like under armor pro gear and like Gore Tex and like the like, Hey man, I'm you know, I got the fucking leggings on even though I have no leggings and then shorts. Yeah, like the Kobe leggings. And he just thinks that he's forever in this like athletic environment, even though he doesn't play sports and he stands in the end zone and he's like,
Starting point is 01:03:57 I'm ready to go. I got my receiver gloves. Like, dude, you're 45 years old and your kids are next to you and they're not even wearing receiver gloves. I think receiver gloves guy is the most illusional. Like the face paint guy, you have to have that moment with yourself where you're face painting in the mirror and you have like that realization like, okay, this is who I am. Receiver gloves guy can live his life in this fantasy world without ever having to like come to Jesus about it. So he still thinks that he's normal. Right. Face paint guy has accepted the fact that he was a little bit out there and same with helmet guy because helmet guy, everyone kind of hits him on the head and he's constant
Starting point is 01:04:30 reminder like you're a weirdo. Receiver gloves guy thinks everything he does is totally normal. And that's why I like how much does a pair of receiver gloves cost? Like the real authentic ones. Are they like a hundred bucks? Really that much? Yeah, I think so. Real ones? Yeah. And they're only used to be worn to games standing in the end zone and then making the sign. That is pretty delusional. And I think you hit the nail on the head. A receiver gloves guy is absolutely Kobe Stan. Yes. He's a big Mariana Rivera fan. And he just doesn't, he doesn't think anything he's doing is weird. And I almost, I love those people who live in this fantasy world, whereas face paint guy and helmet guy, they know at the heart
Starting point is 01:05:10 of hearts like they're like, there's something off with them. They understand the reality of how fucked up their fantasy world is. Their friends are all other super fans. Yeah. Whereas receiver gloves guy is at a regular, you know, he's got his Ford pickup truck and he's doing the whole tailgate and being like, I'm fine. It has a cooler that he spent way too much money on that he busts out. Shows everyone. Yeah. Come check this out. All right. That was Jets Redskins before we get to the next game. When it comes to meat, quality matters, but there's more to it than texture and taste. You got to try butcher box. We keep getting meat every single month butcher box. I use it almost right away because butcher box is the best
Starting point is 01:05:49 not everyone has convenient access to high quality meat. You can get a hundred percent grass fed finished beef, free range, organic chicken heritage, a bread, pork or wild caught salmon at the grocery store. You can't get, get any of that there. You can get it with butcher box. And that's where butcher box takes care of you every single month. Butcher box ships a curated selection of high quality meat right to your house. PFC. You get it. I get it. I love it. We get it. Hank, you get it. It's fucking awesome. All meat is free of antibiotics and added hormones. Each box has nine to 11 pounds of meat enough for 24 individual meals, packed fresh and shipped, frozen and vacuum sealed. So it stays that way. You can customize your box to go with whatever
Starting point is 01:06:36 you want. Every time I get it, I is what I do. I get the beef. I make a huge chili and then I have a steak and then I put a sum in the freezer and I have that for the rest of like the next two, three weeks. It's awesome. That's what butcher box does. You don't have to go to the grocery store. You don't have to go to some fancy pants butcher. You can just get it delivered directly to your door. And like I said, you get the 100% grass fed, finished beef, beef, free organic chicken, heritage pork, all these things with butcher box. Butcher box, you get the highest quality meat around for just $6 a meal. And right now you can get two pounds of ground beef. That's the chili beef right there and two packs of bacon, absolutely free plus $20 off your first
Starting point is 01:07:19 box. Go to butcher box.com slash take or use promo code take at checkout butcher box.com slash take or use promo code take at checkout. Okay. Falcons Panthers, Dan Quinn's getting in extension. Big time. He's earned it the last couple weeks. He's won two divisional games, tough to do. He didn't lose the locker room. That's what the danger was. When he didn't get fired in the bye week, he was very much in danger of being like, well, our owner's given up on our team. So what are we going to play for? They're playing for Dan Quinn. I think that Dan Quinn can actually walk into Arthur Blank's office and be like, Hey, art or Mr. Blank or whatever you call him weirdo with the wispy mustache. We just had the bye week at the wrong time. Like if we had a
Starting point is 01:08:05 bye week at week five, we would be in the playoffs. Yeah, like it just came at the wrong time. We needed a rest. We got healthy. We're peeking. We're still playing our best football right now. The Falcons haven't played their best game of 2019. Fuck them, man. I have a fun stat. You're ready for this? Yeah. So this was this was a game as so often happens around the NFL between a bird team and a cat team. There are several of each, right? I don't know if you're a big astrology guy. Huge. I am. You then you know that Mercury has been in retrograde. Always. So while Mercury has been in retrograde, the bird teams are 90% against the spread. So they've won nine out of 10 games against the spread. The cats crunching these numbers. I did. I did it myself.
Starting point is 01:08:49 You trust them. I did it myself. The big cat teams are one and eight against the spread while Mercury is in retrograde. Does Mercury go in retrograde all the time? Yeah. So it's really valuable to know this information. Got it. Okay. Okay. All right. Yeah. I mean, I'm in the Falcons. I am now losing money on the Falcons because I think that they're not good and they are good all of a sudden and they're going to probably win their next three games. Like they're going to win on Thanksgiving night against Saints at home and everyone's like, I don't know. Why not? Why the fuck not? Dan Quinn somehow has them. Like now their defense just started playing. They have like 11 sacks in the last two weeks out of nowhere. I wouldn't be surprised if I
Starting point is 01:09:29 looked up in week 17 and Matt Ryan had the most passing yards of any quarterback in the NFL. Yeah. It's just like one of those weird seasons. He's going to do it. Right. It's just a weird thing where the Falcons will end up like eight and eight somehow and everyone's like, what? Oh, next year they will make the leap. So now we need to ask if Ron Rivera is in danger of losing his locker room. Well, Ron Rivera and Kyle Allen, more importantly, Kyle Allen, he is in dangerous, dangerous level here where he can lose his status of guy who can do something. Yeah. Well, the problem is if you throw four interceptions in a game, you better already have the reputation of a gunslinger. Right. And we haven't put the name gunslinger, the term gunslinger on Kyle Allen
Starting point is 01:10:10 yet. So you're not allowed to get away with that. I feel like he's gotten worse too since Warren Sharp told us about his small hands. Yeah. I might just confirmation. Yeah. Right. Exactly. But he since the Kyle Allen hype reached its absolute peak, he's thrown three touchdowns and nine interceptions. And since did you know Damian Woody? I don't know if we ever talked about this. He said defenses are more afraid of Kyle Allen than Cam Newton. Is that a fact? He said that. I said that right now. Yeah. Maybe. Maybe. Yeah. I guess because Cam Newton is physically unable to play. Yeah. He can't play. How crazy is it that people actually said we should trade Cam Newton? Like every time someone asked me, do you want Cam Newton on the bears? I'm like,
Starting point is 01:10:50 why would the Panthers trade Cam Newton? It's Kyle Allen. Just because Kyle Allen looks serviceable for a few weeks. Okay. Kyle Allen had Moxie when he's playing. Well, he's got Moxie. He does, but he's, he is dangerously close to being not even a backup. Like he is. We talked about it with, with Jeff Driscoll. When you get called upon, you want to do just enough that people can say, ooh, he was, he was okay. We want him in the room. Kyle Allen had done that. He almost got starter. Now he's going all the way backwards where it's like, yo, you stink. Yeah. What about Will Greer? We haven't seen anything about Will Greer at all. No one's talked about him. I don't know where he is. I figure you might as well just kick the tires on him.
Starting point is 01:11:30 He might be throwing incomplete passes at Von Miller's like, holy shit. Yeah. You never know until you get him out there. Yeah. You're right. Kyle Allen, he's got a great name, great quarterback name. Sounds like a Texas kid. Seems like a guy you could throw out there and have some fun throwing around the yard with, but I think yeah, it's, it's time to bring him back to his rightful home. And that says a backup quarterback. Just chilling out. Be the backup. Good visor name. Okay. Texans Ravens, the much anticipated game of the weekend that really just sucked because the Ravens steamrolled the Texans. Lamar Jackson does something ridiculous every single week and their defense is awesome now, which wasn't to start at that pass interference
Starting point is 01:12:10 call got called. The tank, a completely different game. Thank you. I, I am so sick of the NFL's pass interference calls because that was blatant pass interference. And then they challenged it and they didn't change it. And the Texans would have had first and goal. The Ravens still would have won, but they would have had first and goal would have went up seven, nothing. And here's the test. Here's what they should start doing. Instead of challenging the pass interference, they should just look. And if the cornerback looks for a flag more than twice, that's a flag. Yeah. If the cornerback pops up and does the immediate incomplete sign, then that's not pass interference. Marlon Humphrey literally just, his eyes just darted around. He's like,
Starting point is 01:12:48 okay, where's that flag? Where's that flag? I literally mugged Deandre Hopkins on the goal line. The odds for overturning a pass interference call as a coach when you challenge it are roughly the same as when we would do the MJ versus LeBron simulator. Yes. And getting Kobe as the answer. Yes. That's about it. It's like one out of every 20 times. They'll just decide to turn it over and there's no rhyme or reason to when it happened. And then they turned it over in San Francisco when it wasn't as egregious as this one. That's because they don't like Richard Sherman. It was fucking maddening. It's so, so frustrating how inconsistent it is and how stupid the rule is. Like they just don't use it correctly and I'm so mad that it's
Starting point is 01:13:25 like, I shouldn't waste my energy being mad about it, but we are and look at us. It's kind of fun to be mad about it. Oh, Rudd Giff. I don't know yet. Imagine us. Look at us. Look at us. Here we are. Here we are. Not me. Not me. Not me. Yeah, we are. Yeah. There's, I don't know how they decide to have it overturned. Like what sort of evidence they need. If they need two eyewitnesses, they need you need to fill in one of those capture things. Like you're entering a password online. I don't know what sets it off and makes it pass interference and makes it overturnable, but it's very frustrating. Very frustrating. I agree with you. And I also agree that the fact that it happened so early in the game does make a difference. Yeah. You know about like that old
Starting point is 01:14:05 saying if you're launching a rocket and you're two degrees off on takeoff, then you missed the moon entirely. But if you're too, didn't know that, but if you're two inches off on landing, you're still on the moon. Yeah. Some basketball coach. I think you're thinking of Mighty Ducks. Two inches, two inches to the right and he makes it. And then the guy's like two inches left. You missed the whole thing. Yeah. You wouldn't have jointed at all. Yeah. But no, you know, like when you're launching a rocket, two inches off in either direction, there was like some coach that said that. I think it was a basketball coach that said over the weekend or something like that. Trying to be a football coach. But if you fuck up at the start of the game, seven points makes a big difference.
Starting point is 01:14:43 Yes. It's, I mean, well, it made a difference for the over. It did. Let's just say that. I could say that. I also want to say that I respect the hell out of the people that are dying on the Lamar Jackson Stinks Hill. Oh, it's, it's not, there's not many people left. There's not many people left on it, but the ones that have chosen to stay and just ride out this storm of being really wrong, but, but going down with the ship. God bless you. I need to, I think I need to like every single week because I still have the stray Ravens fans who are like, still think they're frauds. Dude, I haven't thought they're frauds for like a month now. They're really, really good. Yeah. And Lamar Jackson is electric and their defense is, their defenses feels like it's
Starting point is 01:15:23 completely different than it was to start the year because I, that was my biggest thing was their defense. I didn't think could stop people. And now they made the Sean Watson look stupid. Look real bad. The front seven looked very good. Now the, the offensive line of the Houston Texans is another story altogether. I want to throw another fan into your, your hypothetical ranking list. Yeah. And this one is more specific to the Baltimore area. The team color camo cargo pants. Baltimore has, I would say like 15,000 fans that go to every game on Sunday wearing those black, white, silver and gray and make a little bit of purple camo pants. Yeah, I like those. Those are really nice. Yeah. Baltimore has an underrated dress up fan base. They, they definitely are up
Starting point is 01:16:10 there. I did a, when the PI happened, there was a Ravens fan who had like a Raven. It was like half Orioles, half Ravens avatar. And he just replied that wasn't PI. And it's so mean, but I just retweet those people because then they, he had like a hundred responses. Just people posting him. Yeah. Right. I don't, it's such a passive way to do it, but it's so funny to me. I learned something about the Ravens logo today. Yeah. How we learned the Louisville bird doesn't have teeth or birds don't have teeth, but the Louisville Cardinal does. The Raven has a red eye. The Raven stone all the time. Or has pink eye, Bob Cassis. Yeah. Or it's been eating some asshole. Yeah. Been sleeping on a farted pillow. Yeah. We're not
Starting point is 01:16:47 sure which one, but yeah, the Raven definitely has conjunctivitis or has been smoking some loud. So the, the Sean Watson stack going around that everyone was like, Oh, his first loss by more than one score since high school. Are we not counting that he lost 21 to seven to the Colts last year in the playoffs and looked, that was a really bad game. Regular season. Yeah, I know, but I hate that shit. I, that's, that's on Scott Hansen and I'm, don't, don't, don't, I know what you're going to say and don't do it. You, you were going to hate on the red zone because I'm so down with the red zone. Because you think it's, it's a schizophrenic and it's not like sitting down watching an actual football, but let me tell you, as a Redskins fan, that is the perfect
Starting point is 01:17:29 distraction. I can't sit down and watch. I'm always been like, I'm, I know, but here's the difference Hank with, I was starting to get annoyed with red zone, but with the fact that we have direct TV here and you can come in and watch all the games and they're like telecast red zone. Fox your brain up. We all have like, there's going to be a study in 50 years how really the Mike Greenberg death of football, no, it wasn't in Cushions. It was the fact that whenever they switched to another game, you automatically expect a touchdown and whoops, it's only like a five yard run. Well, for my brain, it is tougher to follow along all the games. Like when I go to, when it, when it cuts like the Patriots game, or there's probably a
Starting point is 01:18:10 bad example because it was the afternoon, but when it cuts to like the Panthers Falcons game and it shows a touchdown there, I immediately forget what was just happening in the Ravens Texans game. But you, so I, it's harder to follow along game, but these are, here's why your take is bad big cat. It's called red zone. It's called red zone. I know, but, but Scott Hansen will do a fucking middle of the field zone where it's like a five yard pass. You're like, wait, this guy didn't break a touchdown and then he'll be like, we don't show punts and he'll get off the punts. But the thing is the setup you're describing is better, but not everyone can be so lucky to have six big screen televisions where they can watch every three TVs at home. Hank does too.
Starting point is 01:18:50 You can do that. Anyone could do that. Or actually one of my TVs went out. It's been tough. What happened? I don't know. It's just dark. I don't know. It's just not turned on. Are you going to like turn on? I press the button. Have you tried unplugging it, plugging it back in? Yeah. That's horrible. I know. I'm sorry. I would have been a lot nicer to you today. It's all right. That should have been your firefest. It's my future firefest. It happened. Stay tuned. When did it happen? Yeah, Friday. I got home Friday. God got ready for three TVs. Only had nightmare. That's a nightmare. Awful. That is an nightmare. He had to use only two TVs all weekend. Thoughts and prayers. Like I can't. I shudder thinking about what I would do if I only was down to two TVs. That's fucking
Starting point is 01:19:35 horrible. But yeah, Red Zone, it's just too much. Your brain is melting out of your ears when you watch Red Zone and you expect things to happen on every single play and it doesn't because that's not how football works. I treasure my Sundays with the Red Zone channel, Big Cat. I'm not watching it. My TV says, do you want to? No, I'm not. No, I'm not. I'm saying I like to watch actual games. I like to watch actual games. I'm a football purist, if anything. I like to feel the flow of the game. I don't think that they're to fucking get in bed with it and lay down with it. That's enough. You're gonna be like, I'm ready for football season. I want to see the two yard runs in their raw state. I don't want to go to a run and feel like it's gonna be a touchdown.
Starting point is 01:20:25 The Red Zone is football porn and then watching five games at the same time. That's like football tantric sex with five different people. Thank you. So that's a Red Zone will make you not in 10 seconds. Yes. And that's great. And that's bad. When you get addicted to porn, you're like, oh, fuck, there's a time and a stiff win will make me fucking come. There's a time and a place for all that. And then tuning in and randomly coming across like the iron eagle Dan Fouts game in its entirety. That's like putting Roman swipes on and you're not gonna not. I just wish I could have it all in one box every game in that feed and just feel it. Whatever. All right. I digress. All right. Cardinals 49ers. Hank, you think the 49ers are frauds? Yeah. Why? I just I think they're
Starting point is 01:21:11 overrated. I don't think they're frauds. I think they're overrated. I think they're gonna have some troubles in the playoffs. Jimmy G. has yet to prove himself to me. Oh, I think he proved himself today against the Cardinals. Yeah, because the Cardinals were like, hey, you have to, well, it was a short week and Cardinals basically said you have to beat us with the pass and he did. He didn't have his best player either. Here's what I'll say about the 49ers. I will determine whether or not they are frauds. They remind me very much of like the Texans, the Sean Watson last year where they have all the hype first round of the playoffs have an ugly loss. I see that happening with the 49ers. The defense is pretty good on the 49ers, though. You have to admit that
Starting point is 01:21:45 their front four, they can get after basically any quarterback. I think the situation that happened at the end of the Seahawks game, I see that happening in a playoff game. See, I thought that today's game was actually pretty impressive, even though it was a close game. Shout out that last play where that should be illegal. It was bad. That was bad. Everyone went to a push. The fucking offensive linemen fell on the ball and threw it backwards. Thoughts and prayers, by the way, to Caesar Sportsbook. They took a bath on that last second touchdown. They lost millions of dollars on that. So everyone think about the bookmakers in Las Vegas at this time. That was tough. But I thought this win for the 49ers was very impressive because it's
Starting point is 01:22:26 short week off of very, you know, like emotional loss. They got a bunch of guys injured and they had to come back and they, you know, like they won the game in impressive fashion. I don't know. I think this is one of those weeks where a bad team or a fraud team stumbles in this game and they kind of like got up off the mat and the bell rang and they were ready to go. Richard Sherman did say that that pass interference went against him because the NFL doesn't like him. Really? Because he's active on the NFL Players Association board. So they're saying that's why that only showed a turn. Richard Sherman is undefeated at finding a reason for a chip to be on his shoulder. That's why I kind of like him. I kind of like, I mean, the whole like I'm going to make
Starting point is 01:23:06 up a phantom handshake that didn't happen with Baker Mayfield. It's crazy. It's insane. It's the behavior of an insane person, but you need players like that. Yes. The other thing I wrote down was Debo Samuel, who was graded at South Carolina. Best name in the NFL in terms of wide receivers. Yeah. Debo Samuel. Like every time he gets Hollywood Brown, Hollywood Brown, but Debo is actually his name. Debo would be a good like full back or wine. I don't know. Debo at wide plays like aggressive though. I don't know. Debo Samuel, whenever he catches the ball, I'm like, oh, there's that guy. Yeah. He's a dude. I had something else in this game. Oh, yeah. They keep cutting up to George Kittle in the booth. Yeah. Like they just show his he's the Jerry Jones.
Starting point is 01:23:48 Yes. The San Francisco 49ers. Whenever the offense does something good, they just show him and he's like up there just totally suited out of his brain on bang energy and grizzly and just like banging on the wall. Be like, fuck yeah. Fuck yeah. It's great. I mean, he's just ready to go. Do you think his dad writes his letter to him when he doesn't play? No. Definitely not. Okay. Definitely not. Great story. You don't play. You don't get a letter. Yeah. Okay. Let's do we have two games left. PFT. You want to do a quick ad? Yeah, I do. I want to talk to you about Peloton. I love my Peloton bike. I use it several times a week. And if you're worried about finding the perfect gift this holiday, Peloton is the gift that they're guaranteed to love. Give your loved ones what
Starting point is 01:24:27 they really want. Give them the gift of a Peloton. My bike is in my living room. I'm going to get on there tomorrow night. You monitor me on Peloton tomorrow. I'm going to get on the bike tomorrow night before Monday Night Football. Get like a 30 minute maybe even a 45 minute burn in before the game gets started. It's actually a super convenient thing to have in your house because you don't have to worry about going to the gym. You don't have to worry about making the commute there the commute back. You got your shower that's about 10 20 feet away from your bike. It's perfect. It's actually it's a big time saver and it's a great workout. You can give the gift of a worry free trial. It's a 30 day home trial. So your loved ones can try the bike worry free for 30 days.
Starting point is 01:25:08 And if they decide it's not for them, you can return the bike for a full refund. So Peloton is even going to come pick it up at no cost. It's a gift that they'll keep on using with an endless variety of entertaining live and on demand classes plus motivation from world class instructors. It's a gift that keeps them coming back well beyond the holiday season. I like doing the Tabata rides. I like the Tabata. I like the Hills. I like the 20 seconds on Ted Tech. It's off Ali love. Ali love took me behind the wood shed last week. And I think I did like a 400 calorie burner something in only 20 or 30 minutes. It's a super super good workout with an efficient high intensity cardio workout at home. Your loved ones spend less time commuting to the workout
Starting point is 01:25:51 or braving the winter weather. That's the worst is walking to the gym in the cold. No, thank you. One subscription comes with multiple profiles. So the whole home can use it from pop rides to metrics rides. There's a workout that everyone in the family will love. So this holiday, give the gift to Peloton, get 100 bucks off accessories. When you purchase the Peloton bike, go to onepeloton.com and use promo code my take. That's promo code my take at checkout when you go to onepeloton.com. Okay, we have two games left. First up, we have Bengals Raiders. I mentioned earlier when I was getting very upset about the Bears. Max Crosby spelled with two X's had four sacks. Eastern Michigan. He's our new guy. I like this guy. Okay. I mean, Max Crosby Max Crosby. Yeah. I mean,
Starting point is 01:26:39 well, why not? And this game stunk. But the good news is if you're the Raiders, you're saying is literally just win, baby. So you can win bad and just be like, Yeah, just win. Yeah, we won. You played a win the game. Yeah, I do like that. I think we should definitely call Max dosa keys. Yes, right. Dosa keys. Always a good draft pick. Mm hmm. There you go. No free ads, but that's a free ad for it is a good one. Yeah. Ryan Finley quarterback of the bangers, not the guy, not the guy, but he is a guy who loves getting on the phone on the sidelines. So like he he loves doing something so egregious, just fucking up as bad as you can fuck up and sitting on the bench and then getting on the phone. They're like, Yeah, we're looking at the satellite image of the last
Starting point is 01:27:22 player right now. You fucked up again. Yeah, I fucked that one up. I actually think the bangles could have won this game with Andy Dalton. You're probably not wrong. I mean, the Bengals have admitted that Andy Dalton is a better quarterback, but they're like, we're just not going to play him right now. I'm so sick of the Bengals though, because they're just they just won't figure out whether they want to be truly awful or not. Like there's some games where they get blown out and then there's games like today where they keep it close and I need you to be consistent so I can consistently bet on it. You won't do it for me. You want to have a you want to have a fun stat here? Yeah. Joe Mixon had the first Bengals rushing TD by someone not named Andy Dalton this year.
Starting point is 01:28:00 Yeah, it's crazy. That's nuts. They didn't have a running back score touch. That's nuts. That is insane. And I thought that Joe Mixon hadn't been that bad this year. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe he has been that bad. My other fun stat is there's a guy that's been living on his roof until the Bengals win a game like September. Yeah. So he's just a roof guy. I think that that was he made that bet because he secretly wanted to live on his roof because it's pretty cool to live on your roof. Yes. That's where all the action happens. Yeah. So he's like, yeah, I'm going to stay up here until we win a game like a little clubhouse until my own. Yeah. And there was like a local news story about him. It says man still on roof. There you go, buddy. Yeah. He the Bengals fans.
Starting point is 01:28:38 It was nice. It felt like Raiders fans embraced Bengals fans that showed up and put on their paper bags and just felt shitty. And it was like there was I just love Raiders games in Oakland, the shots of the crowd and the people like dressed up. And then you just had you threw in like there was some Bengals fan drinking with a paper bag. He was drinking through the paper bag. It was just so sad but so good at the same time like it felt like Raiders fans probably showed him a good time. Yeah. No, that's definitely a stealing valor from every homeless person that's ever lived. He's just chugging went through the paper. Yeah. I like Bengals fans for the most part. They're very colorful when they maybe it's just the uniforms and the stripes and the bright
Starting point is 01:29:18 orange. That's literally it. It looks pretty cool. That's all it is. Bengals fans are non threatening. I've never been intimidated by a Bengals fan. Yeah. Or their team. The least threatening apex predator is a Bengal. Yes. Like a drug. You're like a drug to Tiger. You're like a Tiger on Quailudes that's speeding away from his wife after she's busted at the backdoor of his Buick. Yeah. Exactly. Declod. Yes. Declod. OK. Last game. Patriots Eagles. Hank. Give us. Well, first of all, good win for the Patriots. Their defense was awesome in the second half. Give us your worry level though of the Patriots offensive line and Tom Brady basically having to run for his life constantly. There was actually a quote after he said that he was like tired,
Starting point is 01:30:01 legit tired because he basically has no time. Yeah. It's not great. I mean, they were running like the Mitstrabisky because they have no time. They couldn't throw the ball more than like five yards and just all screens quick quick routes. Wasn't great. Looked ugly. Disgusting game based off of the loss to the Ravens and obviously how the Ravens have been playing since that game. They look clearly like the superior team, but it was a good win and they're still in the lead for home field advantage for the playoffs. That's all you can do. Edelman might be your quarterback of the future. Yeah. You got Edelman and Sanu. Probably the two best non quarterback quarterbacks in the history of the NFL. Yes. Yeah. That's true. What about your defense? You're still happy
Starting point is 01:30:41 with the D? Turnover luck. How are you feeling about that on your side? I never really understood turnover luck. We had some, we had some, we had some good down to some bad bounces. Yeah. I actually said that to PFT. We were laughing when you love to, it's big cat's favorite joke on the free taxes. It's like a turnover. Yeah. I say, Hank, that means that's turnover luck. Well, the ball was in your kickers. Well, no, because I still, but it wasn't a turnover, but you, there was no turnover that happened. So right, but that's what turnover luck is. Like that's a ball that you can get, but you don't turnover doesn't happen again. I guess it would have been a turnover. Had the ball bounced your way, but it didn't because you're unlucky. It doesn't have to be a turnover to have
Starting point is 01:31:20 like, be like, that's turnover luck when the ball doesn't bounce your way, when it could. So like, Hank, when you're, you still don't understand, you still think I'm saying that the Patriots are lucky? No. Yeah, you do. You're just pointing out turnovers. Definitely. Right. You can't predict which way the ball is going to bounce. And sometimes just because it doesn't bounce your way doesn't mean you weren't lucky. It's hard to predict. You can't like say this game. We're always going to get this many turnovers because it's very, I never said you could. Okay. That was talking turnover. Hank starts talking more and more like Bill Belichick. Yeah. As, as we kind of like dig in on him, but he does reach a breaking point
Starting point is 01:31:59 every time we start to dig in where he snaps out of his, it was a good game. We're lucky to escape with what he was like. Just shut the fuck up guys. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Here's a quote. Oh, can you give us the Bill Belichick quote again? We said they're having fun. Yeah, we're having fun. Oh, they asked him about the Eagles and he was like, uh, you know, they looked like we were having fun out there, which is a shout out to the Lane Johnson quote on our show saying that it's more fun to play for the Eagles than it is to play. That's so funny because that was what two years ago. Yeah. And he doesn't forget. Wait, but he also misquoted him. Oh, yeah. The quote wasn't necessarily that bad. Yes. So he was quoting him. He was just noting that the Eagles
Starting point is 01:32:38 look like they're having fun time. Okay. They're losing. Yeah. Fun time. I've noticed that, uh, the weirder the combination of clothes that Bill Belichick wears, the more likely they are to win that game. So today, 90% coming off a buy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think we ran through that on Friday. So we took the number. Belichick was wearing the sweatshirt that was like cut off, but also had a cut, just a small cut down the middle. Like he was going to tear it off at any given time during the game like Hulk Hogan. Yeah. I don't know what the meaning of that little cut at the front of the collar was on him today. Just give yourself a little air. Yeah. Just let the neck breathe for a little air. Um, Stefan Gilmore after the game said that he knew he could get
Starting point is 01:33:19 Ertz rattled because he had seen the Eagle tight end crying on film. That's tough. Yeah. Yikes. That's tough. So tough for Julie. Ertz's husband. Yeah. Julie's husband. Yeah. But yeah. So and then the only other thing from this game is do you think how many times do you think fuck Nelson Aguilar is going to be said tomorrow in the city of Philadelphia? That was a tough catch. It was a very tough catch, but he's also the guy who everyone blames and it went viral when the other guy said it. And I feel like you always need someone to blame and he's the guy. There's going to be somebody like a diehard Eagles fan that starts his own house fire. Yeah. Just so that he can get interviewed by somebody on the news to say something about Nelson Aguilar. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:34:02 run it back real quick. I did notice Gronk says that he's got a big announcement to make this week. Oh yeah. Hank, did you see that? Oh yeah. What do you think that news is going to be? Probably some type of sponsorship. Yeah. Probably like CBD, maybe a gambling company. I could see Gronk being the first person to actually take cam soda up on an offer. Yeah. To be like, hey, Gronk, we've made you a PR stunt offer to jack off in front of a camera for 24 hours nonstop. End of the day. Gronk on the pregame show on Fox is also electric. Oh, it's so electric. It's an absolute train wreck electricity. So end of the day, Patriots are still probably the probably the team you're most confident in the AFC besides the Ravens. And then
Starting point is 01:34:42 I would say just knowing who they are. They're the team you're most confident in period. Their defense is awesome, but their offensive lines got problems. Yeah. Big time problem. I think they'll figure it out. We'll see. They'll figure it out. It's also tough when they don't have it feels like they're missing like boy, Marshall new house. There you go. Get it together. I know he is. It's tough when you were watching the game and like Julian Edelman's running all the way down the field. Like if like Julian Edelman's fantastic, but if he's your deep threat, it feels like it's like not balanced. Yeah. Nikhil's out though. Nikhil was playing today. Yep. Such a great name. Nikhil O'Neill. Nikhil O'Neill. Yeah. What do you have like three catches?
Starting point is 01:35:19 Nikhil Harry. Yeah, I know. Great last name too. What did you think? No, I don't know. Oh, I don't know why you're saying Nikhil O'Neill because it's like Nikhil O'Neill. Got it. Nickname. That's what we do on the show. We come up with nicknames. Nicknames. All right, let's do who's back and then we will finish up with a Monday reading PFT.

We're going to have Football Guys be a poll on Twitter and we're going to have, you can read about who we have nominated on Twitter and I think Jake will blog it, so check that out at Pardon My Take. Let's do who's back in our Monday reading. By the way, we should just quickly say, I also want to run a poll of anti-football guys this week and that includes Peter King
Starting point is 01:38:54 for saying everyone write in and tell me how Miles Garrett is going to affect like whether you'll let your son play football. Yep. And Adam Schefter, who assault, that's how I figured he said that. Assault. And Peter King, by the way, just saying that he said an act not seen in decades requires discipline not seen in decades, particularly in these times. Shut up. Peter, have you seen the last Boy Scout? There was a guy bleeding from his ear. Shut up, Peter King. Stupid. It's not as bad as going into a hotel shower and realizing that the drain is still plugged and you have to lean over and flip it up, but it's pretty bad. The people who like unimaginable. Yeah. Unimaginable. Incomprehensible. Unthinkable. Unthinkable and unimaginable.
Starting point is 01:39:40 That's what that's what Chefy said. These people are just losers. I've also, I've seen like five guys get a helmet swung at them this year. Yes. It happens a lot. You've seen way worse things happen out of football. Now, it wasn't in prime time and it wasn't to someone with such a giant gravitational target as Mason Ramsey had. I mean, Mason Rudolph had. It's okay. Yeah. Don't, don't hit Mason Ramsey. No. Start the helmet birthday. Yeah. Happy birthday, Mason. But yeah, it was, it was ridiculous to see all the takes that were coming out. It was crazy. All right. Who's back? Hank, you start. My who's back is the Motorola Razor. Yeah. So I saw a commercial for this this
Starting point is 01:40:18 weekend. I personally had, it was like the first phone I had, even when my friends were starting to get iPhones, I had a Motorola Razor. It was like, so by the time I had it, it was old. But I had it for like three years, a bunch of nostalgia. They're bringing it back, but it's like apparently going to be a smartphone. So it's going to be like the new like hipster. I don't even know. I don't know if it's going to work out or not, but the Motorola, Motorola Razor is back. Wait, so it's going to have everything like iPhone has? It's going to be a flip phone, but yeah, but you can flip it up and it basically turns into like a one screen iPhone. That sounds to me like it's going to get broken immediately. So it can be a flip phone or a
Starting point is 01:40:52 touch screen like the iPhone should make a flip phone because the only I would buy one, but then you'd be the green dot and you can't do that. Well, the cool thing about a flip phone is you can rock it on your belt and let everyone know that you work in it. That's true. It is pretty sweet. Hey, what's up? If the new Motorola Razor has Snake on it, then that's what I'm saying. That was Nokia Tetris. No, no, that was Nokia. That was a little brick. Yeah. So I had. Yeah. No, Blackberry had Brick Breaker. Yeah. Brick Breaker was awesome. I wasted so much time at a job that I was getting paid for to play Brick Breaker. If you bring back a phone that has Snake, Brick Breaker and Drug Wars on it, then I am so far in. Snake is so good.
Starting point is 01:41:35 Just Tetris. Tetris on the Razor was the best. Someone make Game Boys again. Uh, my who's back of the week is Shorts. Oh, yeah, because the Wisconsin or not the Wisconsin, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. They won. They're going to the CFL gray cup final. Yep. And if they win, that dude gets to put on his first pair of pants in 19 years. That's crazy. He promised his buddies he's not wearing pants until they win the big one, the gray cup. And they are one week away from doing that. We're going to try to get them on. If you know the Shorts guy, possibly the biggest Shorts guy in the world, I had a drunk idea this weekend. Yeah. Shorts that are warm. Shorts you can wear during cold weather.
Starting point is 01:42:20 Do they have like warmers in them? No, I haven't figured it all out yet, but just I want to be able to wear Shorts when it's cold outside and not be cold. If there's a way to do that. There is. Get fat. Get fat. And also you just get the Shorts but make them a little bit longer. Okay. To your ankles. At what point do they become? No, if you just call it's a state of mind. Yeah. Just sell you Shorts. If there's no cuff at the bottom. Giant Shorts. Giant Shorts. Shorts. The Shorts for Giants. Yeah. Huge Shorts. But you get to wear them. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That works. Or just like if you, if you could make, I don't know, NASA, figure it out, like use some sort of heat retention. Yeah. Fabric and keep, keep my legs warm from the kneecap up. Yeah. I don't
Starting point is 01:43:01 figure it out. It's not that hard. All right. My who's back is Christmas lights or holiday lights in bars. I love that. Yeah. There's something about going into a bar and having the holiday lights in there. It just feels better. Feels more like nicer to drink. Even better when it's in like August. Yeah. But this is like the time where you go into a bar, you want to buy everyone else a drink. It's the spirit. It feels warmer. Yeah. It does. It reminds me of that scene in Goodfell is where they walk in after the tons of heists and everyone's married. Oh yeah. Like it feels warm in there. You come in from the cold, they come in and there's lights all over the place and everyone's happy to see each other. And I mean, December is like the ultimate drinking month where you can
Starting point is 01:43:40 just socially drink all the time. And so we're about to get there with Thanksgiving. And then my other who's back is Jim Harbaugh. Jim Harbaugh is all the way back. He is big time. He fucking stepped on Michigan State's throat. And did you see the game ball off? No. Oh my God. So Harbaugh after, before the last play, before Shay Patterson, because Shay Patterson, Patterson was his best game as a Michigan quarterback before he kneeled the ball to end the game. Harbaugh told him, make sure you don't give that ball back to the refs because I want to give it to you as a game ball. And then when they went into the locker room, Shay Patterson gave it to Harbaugh as a game ball. And then Harbaugh put it in Shay Patterson's backpack before he left without
Starting point is 01:44:23 him realizing. So it's a game ball. They just kept on giving it back and forth to each other. That's going to end up being one of those lifelong friendship things that you hear about where like two friends prank each other over the course of their lives by like sneaking one little trinket back. Yep. Harbaugh is going to be 80 years old and like roll out of bed, go to his computer to type in his chopping list and excel. And like underneath his desk is going to be that damn football ball. He's like, shit, you got me. You got me. I'm going to say something that's probably going to elicit some people being mad at me. I think Michigan beat Ohio State. Really? I do. You're going to get a lot of people mad at you. I think Michigan can beat Ohio State.
Starting point is 01:45:03 I'm not going to say they are going to beat Ohio State. I'm not going to guarantee it. I think it's going to be a more competitive game than people thought a month ago. That's going to be the Northern equivalent of Cocho beating Alabama. I mean, it would be. Do you think Harbaugh cries if he wins that game? Probably. Yes. Yeah. Harbaugh would, I mean, it would be, and then he would immediately berate himself because then he would go, he would have gone three and oh against his rivals, Michigan State, Notre Dame and Ohio State. I again, I don't, I'm not going to, I'll have to wait to see the line and I'm not saying like, Oh, I'm guaranteeing. I just think it's going to be a lot tougher of a game for Ohio State than people thought like after Wisconsin, you know,
Starting point is 01:45:46 or anytime before Michigan played Penn State, they turned a corner in that second half. When Harbaugh told him, this will be your finest hour, even though second halves are like two and a half hours. But ever since that moment, they've been a different football team. Yeah. I mean, I would, I would love to see that. I would love to see the look on Harbaugh's face. It would be incredible. It would be incredible. All right. Let's finish up. We have a Monday reading. We haven't done one in a while. This one comes from Reddit and it says, my boyfriend of two years will not stop speaking in a fake Italian American accent and keeps making up foreign words. All right. Here we go. Okay. To preface this, I love my boyfriend and he is super sweet, nice,
Starting point is 01:46:29 smart guy that I feel lucky to have, but his behavior lately is freaking me out and makes me worried for the future. I love how they always start with this. I love him. I love him, but there's something so wrong with our relationship that I'm asking millions of anonymous strangers on Reddit. Yeah. I love my boyfriend, but he keeps insisting I have to go to Dave and Buster's. So what do I do? All right. So my boyfriend loves movies, especially mob movies. He has all the soprano DVDs at his place and I'm pretty sure he still watches them that way. That's fine. Obviously you can watch and enjoy whatever you want. But last week, he saw the Irishman with some friends and since then he will not stop talking in like a fake stereotypical
Starting point is 01:47:12 mobster accent. We were in an Uber the night after going out to dinner and admittedly the driver was going a little fast, but my boyfriend kept muttering things like, who's this fucking guy? Huh? Dale, Dale Earnhardt Jr. over here and shouting ho as we took corners. He would not shut up and even gave the driver a one star review saying it was about respect. I fucking love that. This guy sounds like he's a smart guy. I'm riding here. Hey, hey. He didn't respect you, honey. Not in front of you. Not in front of my Guma. Everyone has their quirks. I get it and they can be what makes someone special. At first it was even kind of cute, funny, but I just can't really understand this shift all of a sudden. It's been a week and he continues to make asides in his voice
Starting point is 01:48:04 and when he gets drunk, he speaks in made up Italian. Like we were having dessert at my sisters and he came up to me and said, Hey ma, I got to get home and hit the drapeenie. Okay. I'm the DD. I don't drink. So I asked him why he wants to leave and what a drapeenie is. His response was, you know, like a shower. That's a great term for a drapeenie. I'm going to start calling the shower the drapeenie for now. Let me get a quick hot drapeenie. I got to get in the, I got to take a soapy, you know. This guy is funny. I like this guy. Drapeenie is not a word. Well, it is now. In any language, he also never called me ma before ever. And now he does it almost all the time. I feel crazy. Like this is going to be a permanent feature of his personality now.
Starting point is 01:48:55 I know this sounds incredibly stupid compared to some of the other issues on here, but I'm just really nervous about what this means about his personality slash mental health. He really is a sweet loving guy with a wonderful family and have a lot in common, but just like, I don't even know how to begin to approach this. I want to tell him off and be like, why, why do you keep doing this voice? Can you please stop? We don't live together. So thankfully it's not constant thing, but like what if we did and it was shot? Come on. I need to know for a, come on. Hey, we're just having a laugh. I need to know what this guy's actual heritage is. Well, okay. So here we go. Is this the, the kind of thing you just deal with when it's someone you love edit? I just want to add
Starting point is 01:49:34 that he's not Italian at all either. So I'm also worried people will get offended when we're out or something. Hey, the drapeenie. Hey, come on. Hey, oh. Hey, it's just good, clean fun. This is having a laugh. Listen, if you haven't done this at some point in your life, I don't, like, you're not a human being. Like you watch Sopranos, you watch good fellows, you talk with your hands a little bit. You kind of think your life's a movie. It happens for a couple of weeks and then it passes. Yeah. Hank started wearing tracksuits when you watched Sopranos. I've been watching a lot of Peaky Blinders lately too. You get a Scali cap? Not a Scali. It's more the accent. You know, yeah, with, with Peaky Blinders for me, I watched that whiskey. I want to drink whiskey and I want
Starting point is 01:50:15 to smoke cigarettes nonstop. Yeah. So hard not to. Yeah. And do and do some like chopped up heroin from Asia or no. No, Arthur has cocaine addiction. Off a Shelby. Yeah. Yeah. Don't even fucking start. It's a devil's will. I'm not knowing. But it's then he gets, he gets married to that like Christian girl that won't let him go anywhere and do anything. And he's like, Oh, I'm not doing. I want it on the record. I'm not doing it. Okay. I won't do it. I'm not doing it. Not going to go any further. But yes, you do get into modes when you watch shows, when you watch TV, when you watch movies, you want to emulate your heroes. The good thing is, Hank, can I tell you something real quick? No. Peaky Blinders. Too late in the morning for this, for these jokes. No, it's not a joke. Peaky
Starting point is 01:51:00 Blinders, the seasons come out so infrequently. Like I haven't watched the most recent season yet. I can't remember a thing that's happened in the past. Yeah. Like not even one thing. I need to refresh of course. So you're good. But yeah, you get in these modes and you emulate, you know, Hey, it's also fun. Yeah. If you don't have an accent, if you grow up speaking without any noticeable like broke off. Yeah. If you have like a newscaster voice, it's fun to put it. It's like put on a Halloween costume for your voice. Right. It's cool. Right. So let us let the drapeenie. It sounds like he's trying to bring a little class of the relationship. Hey, Mom, why don't you go in the drapeenie when he's eating the drapeenie? A little of this, a little bout of boom.
Starting point is 01:51:39 So if we go in the drapeenie, we have some fun. I don't know. Maybe nine months later, we got a little, we got a little grease ball run around. All right. We'll see everyone Wednesday. Enjoy Monday football and fire every coach in America. Love you guys. I fucking love you guys. Right. So bullshit. Oh, wow. Not the catch. We'll see. Right. Right. Just have it.
Starting point is 01:52:58 Oh, Oh, not now. Right. Wow.
