Hey, pardon my take listeners. You can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad free on Amazon Music. On today's part of my take week 12, we recap everything that happened week 12, fastest two minutes, football guy of the week, who's back of the week. We also, I think we're going to talk a little bit of college football. We usually do that on Wednesday, but Michigan beats Ohio State once every like decade and farewell to our good friend, coach.

Oh, happy trails. So we will, we will touch on that and Lincoln Raleigh to USC. We'll touch on some college football, incredible Saturday to end the regular season. But before we get to all of that, you know what you need when you're watching football, you need some tostitos because if you're watching football with your friends, you need two things, a TV and some tostitos end of list. No get together is official until some tostitos. The official chip and dip of the NFL get served.

Maybe you're hosting the game. Maybe you need something to snack on while listening to us. Doesn't matter the occasion. If I was a betting man, which I am, I'd say odds are you have to have a bag of tostitos and some salsa in your kitchen right this second. Plus they got a flavor for everyone. Hint of lime for folks who love a bit of zest. Have an arrow.

If you're kicking things up a notch, hint of guacamole to make your guacamole taste even guacier and fans can get in the game with a custom recipe for their favorite team at tostitos.com slash recipes. My favorite is personal favorite is just traditional tostitos and a little queso pop that in the microwave. You're ready to go. Toastitos is the official chip and dip of the NFL. If you don't have tostitos on deck when you're watching football, you are

watching football incorrectly. We love tostitos. We love to snack tostitos. Thank you very much for being a great sponsor. Toastitos, the official chip and dip of the NFL and also the official chip and dip a part of my take. Okay, let's go. It's part of my take presented by Barstool Sports.

Welcome to part of my take presented by Toastitos, the greatest chip and dip of all time, the official chip and dip of the NFL and the official chip and dip of part of my take. Today is Monday, November 29th, week 12. We start in Cincinnati where Joe Sir mixing a lot said baby got Zach as the most unremarkable head coach used his running back to run all over the Steelers. T-shirt Higgins scored a touchdown and reminded everyone that the Barstool Sports Store is still 20% off through Cyber Monday.

Yes, 20% off through Cyber Monday. Pat, can you take me fryer? Muth had his arms wide open for a garbage time touchdown and noted anti-porn watcher Ben Rothesberger won't be watching film on Monday as Mike One Night in Paris Hilton took a pick to the house. Bengals 41, Steelers 10 and Indy where one, two, three, four net. Come on, Jake, my man didn't know you like to get wet. Come on, Jake.

Rob Bonkowski was feeling horny and Frank, oh, I like it like that. I don't know how to act. Had his offense moving in slow motion for me in the second half. Aaron Burr, Bruce Arians, took his best shot from Ashton do Linman, well, Miranda, but the Bucks survived the shootout. Bucks 38, Colts 31. Hey, hey, teach who these two jokers have just walked in. Huh?

In Miami, Jalen Gobble had a Thanksgiving feast and the dolphins. Turkey trotted for miles. Gaskin to squash the Panthers. It's all gravy when Xavier and Howard is on the field as the dolphins defense put together three interceptions. PJ Walker, Texas Ranger tried to kick some ass, but just fucked everything up as to a tongue of my loa when yam on the haters and the dolphins are winners of three straight.

Happy Thanksgiving, teach Miami 33, Carolina 10. The Jets, Austin, Walter White and Tevin combined for a rushing attack to cover up for a babyface 20 year old. Speaking of cooks, Brandon and Brevin Jordan combined for two scores for the Texans. As winter approaches, I want to remind everyone that we're in an energy crisis in America and I, William football sport, Joe Biden's attempt to go green. Just 21, Texans 14. I think I think we just got Wally pipped.

Did you use was it was that you swearing boom? Oh, man. All right, back to a regularly scheduled program to do all where in an ominous sign of things to come. The Jaguars mascot, Jackson Deville, had a bungee quarter L mishap as Patterson rushed for two touchdowns. Tavon me, Tavon me. Austin scored a touchdown as everyone said, aha,

that's where he plays now as Urban Meyer could be fired in a week or two. Falcon stopped their losing streak with a 21 14 win. And Foxboro where this is how you Ramon Dre Stevenson was torching the Titans, Nickelbacks. Nickelback, you know how they got their name right, boom. Jacobi Urban Meyers had very sticky fingers hauling in five catches. John Kerry, Blazing Game and Dottrell Hilliard Lee Clinton had to try to hide from the Patriots as they were storming

the Ryan Capitol Hill Patriots 36, the Titans 13. Some spread. Down to the Meadowlands where Chris Myrick Clapton had his first performance in front of a vaccinated audience. And there's bad blood between these two division rivals as Darnay Elizabeth Holmes forced one of the four Eagles turnovers. Nick Little Orphan, Sirianni got beaten like a red headed step child as the Daniel Jones went from Danny Dimes to Daddy Warbox.

And the Giants are back in the hunt. The G-Men 13 Eagles 7 up to the frozen tundra where Randall Cobb Low looks just as young as ever. Devonte Patch Adams said the best medicine for Covid-19 is Laughler as the Packers clowned the Rams. One of his patients killed him in the end, boom, spoilers teach. The old saying goes, you can't put lipstick on a pig. Just like you can't turn a staff forward into a Ferrari as a lion's

cornerback struggle again, the Packers 36, the Rams 28. Out in Frisco, where placebo Samuel had some sweet runs holding on to the sugar pill. On the other side, Perk Cousins and the Minnesota Vicodans are addicted to painful losses as their comeback fell short. On the plus side, Mike Zimmer remains hot just like an oven with his new girlfriend. Because when I get that feeling, I want sexual feeling, as Adam scored twice in the defeat, Niners 34, Vikings 26. Standing on a corner, LSU down in Coachola, such a fine sight to see.

It's Big Ed, my lord. He's falling on his sword so LSU can win another Natty. He was a great hire. They took a flyer and he left us with one last go tired. Shout out, Cocho.

To quote, I don't know if Jake tweeted this for you, PFT, but that game was drunk.

Oh, yeah, I hammered that one. Yeah, yeah, the game was drunk. It actually like at the end of the first half, that was some of the shittiest football that we've seen in prime time. I think the NFL just like tells the teams, they don't worry about playing well. We got Mike Torrico on the call. It's not Al. Well, they don't really have to bring your A game.

I don't want to blame the refs, but I will blame the refs. Jerome Bogers, crew set the tone when that sequence of like the Ravens doing a fake punt, then they didn't let it because they said it went too fast. Then the Browns had 12 men on the field and they stopped that. Then a timeout that from that moment on, the game just like was full on chaos, Lamar throwing picks. He threw four interceptions. You forgot an additional 12 men on the field.

The Browns did it twice in a row. I think one going into the timeout, one coming out of the timeout. Yes, yes. And then Lamar threw four picks. There was fumbles everywhere, but the Ravens won. They won ugly. I'm worried about the Browns, Baker being hurt, but also like, I guess I mean, the Ravens defense, like the one thing you'd say,

they give up explosive plays more than any other team. It's not even close, but they they were able to stop the run tonight. And they shut down Chunt, which was I think that was the first time we had Chunt in a while. Yeah. And they shut them down. And now I don't know the Browns are like in the muck with all these other AFC teams and the Ravens have have separated themselves. I think they're the one seed.

If we started the playoffs right now, but Baker's hurt, but Baker, we need to remind everybody is very assert. He won't tell you the answers won't tell you this. Baker's hurt. But yeah, weird game, crazy game. Lamar Jackson leads the league in no, no, no, no. Yes, plays where he had two of them on the same drive where he just ran. He basically runs Madden offense where he just runs. If they blitz Lamar Jackson instead of like trying to evade the blitz or hitting

someone with like a hot route or like hitting someone underneath, he just runs straight backwards and he's like, I'll figure out in five seconds. He runs, but he does the Michael Vick thing where you would always make him run backwards and then loop him around to the other side of the field. Get him just pointed in the right direction and then bomb it down the field across your body. It doesn't matter. I also think Lamar Jackson leads the league in yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. No, yes, yes, he'll like get to the goal line, be stretching out for a touchdown

and then fumble the ball at the like two inch line. Yes, yes. But yeah, it worked with the Mark Andrews where he ran straight backwards and then threw it up in the middle of the field. And you're thinking to yourself, this is a terrible, terrible decision. And then Mark Andrews are just standing there all alone in the middle of the end zone. I don't we. So we started halfway through the that we started at half time. We started taping the show.

So our eye was half on it. I Justin Tucker, I was thinking about this. If you had to like if Justin Tucker was in the draft tomorrow, first round pick, he has to be first rounder. And I know that sounds crazy. Once you get to the end of like all the good quarterbacks, so after you get to maybe 13 or 14 quarterbacks, maybe you take some good defense alignment, some like edge rushers at that point.

But then you're like maybe a wide receiver or two. But then you got to think Justin Tucker. It's it someone has to some statinard has to do like a deep dive on just the amount of points that the ravens get in terms of edge wise. The fact that they're the minute they get past the 50 yard line. It's like, all right, as long as we don't turn the ball over, it's an automatic three points. It's an automatic three points. It's crazy. He's so good.

It's always right in the middle of the fucking feel like the post. It's insane. You know what a team should do? They should set up the nastiest offense line possible. Have maybe two really good running backs and then just run Wildcat down the field and then kick field goals with Justin Tucker. Yeah. You could probably win a couple of games in the NFL without a quarterback.

Offensive and defense. Yeah, because if you don't pay a quarterback, you could pay everyone else a ton of money. Yeah. You could get sick defensive tackles, a couple of good edge rushers. Run the triple option. Run the triple option on offense. Don't worry about scoring touchdowns every time. Just have Justin Tucker kick.

Yes. Even at the end of the game, what was the what was his kick? He kicked 49 yarder. But it was it was crazy watching it because they're they're at third and 11 on on Cleveland's 34 and any other team you're saying to yourself, well, we need to get like a few more yards to make sure we kick this and can get those like extra points so that the Browns then have to score a touchdown going the other way. But the Ravens like, yeah, we could we could get this first down or not.

You know, we'll be fine. You know, we just described that offense is basically the Ravens offense, except they also have Lamar, who's able to throw the ball down field. Yes. Some of the short ones is where Lamar gets tripped up. Yes. When he's doing the touch passes or like on a screen. I don't trust Lamar to throw a screen at all. But I trust him throw like a 40 yard bomb. I wonder what Justin Tucker, like when he watches college football,

is he just like, oh, all these guys miss? I mean, Wisconsin punted from the opponents from Minnesota's 35. I respect that. That's I mean, that's right. That's right on brand. That's that's that's Justin Tucker, like money range. He never misses that they punted. I think they should just let Justin Tucker kick inside 70 yards.

Yeah. Every time until he misses one. It's crazy. So Ravens survive it. I want to see real quick. I I'm sad for Browns fans because it feels like they have been so snakebitten. And Jack Conklin went out and it looked like it was pretty bad. They say Taurus Patellatin, and which is my understanding, the one that you don't want to tear the most. See that even that sigh, that was a that was a genuine sigh.

He tried to walk it off and he did the stinky leg. Are the kids still doing the stinky leg? Jack Conklin is he's doing the stinky leg. But yeah, the the Browns. Oh, wait, the Browns have a buy still, right? Yeah. All right, I'm going to Google how long does it take a patella to heal? Oh, yeah. Guess what? Browns fans, the good news is your next game is against the Ravens.

That's right. It's it's it's a by week. And that is so well at least you match up well against them. Yeah, maybe you can muck this game up enough. Yeah. So maybe you you you get some rest and then you go play the Ravens again. But yeah, the Ravens, I it feels like they're one of the we'll get to all the other games, but they're one of like two or three teams in the AFC that you feel pretty confident, like week in week out,

even though they've had a couple, I don't know, the Dolphins, though. Again, we'll get to everything. Let's just do it. Let's get to everything. We'll start with the game of the day. It was actually not the Packers Rams. It was the Bucks Colts, which was an awesome, awesome game to watch back and forth. On my pinky is officially I feel a lot better about it after watching what happened in the second half.

The first half was tough. The first half was a red flag for your pinky. The first half was Tom Brady looking old. Carson Wentz looking awesome. He had three touchdowns, a hundred ninety seven yards in the first half. And the second half started and it was like all of the powers were sucked out of the Colts. And it was fumble from Carson Wentz, interception, Muft kick and the Colts.

The Colts are just the AFC Vikings at this point, where every single game you watch it and you're like, this team is good, they can beat anyone, but they will eventually find a way to fuck up at the worst possible time. Are you talking about the Vikings or the Falcons? It's because the Falcons are the NFC, the Vikings are the NFC Falcons. And the Colts are now the AFC Vikings Vikings, which makes them. No, I think still the Falcons are not good. Well, yeah, the Vikings were this is we're already we're already going off the rails.

OK, let's bring it back. Yeah, let's bring it back. Yeah, we like we usually confuse people towards the end of the show. Let's keep it on track. Yeah, we do. Yes, stick around for the next 30 minutes and then we'll get real fucked up with it. It is true. Like if you listen to this show every Monday, thank you, by the way.

But it is very funny because I always notice like the first three or four games I take a lot of notes for and then towards the end, it's just like, we're just going to start just talking about whatever. So let's stay on track. The Colts shoot themselves in the foot in very sad fashion in the second half. And the Bucks like I know it's very cliche, but if you make mistakes with Tom Brady, he will find it and it was more Leonard Fournette than Tom Brady. But Tom Brady to Gronk was incredible all day.

But the Bucks showed why they're a team that's coming off a Super Bowl and a legit threat for another one. And the Colts are what the Colts are. Well, in the first half, when the Colts were kicking their ass, the Colts actually lost the game when they were playing really well in that first half because they had at least one drop pick six against Tom Brady. Maybe two of them. There's like three or four interceptable passes.

And so if you don't make one of those plays against Tom Brady in the first half, that's almost that's worse than giving up a touchdown because like he'll give you maybe one chance a game to capitalize off him. And if you don't, it's like, OK, even though you're still winning the games over, it feels like it's already over because you weren't able to take advantage of it. Leonard Fournette is obviously had a great game, but the most important part, Rob Gronkowski being back. Oh, I thought they're going to say Leonard Fournette covering the spread.

Well, he did cover the spread. In a play that everyone always goes down now. He could have taken. He could have gone down on that. I'm getting four. I'm getting four. Yeah. And then, yeah, it was Gronk, though. It was Gronk being officially 100 percent.

He looks like old Gronk, at least today does, even though Antonio Brown's out. I think I think this puts to rest the conversation of who's the most important player on that Bucks offense. I think it's Gronk. Oh, OK, because they can do this without a B. Yeah, they still looked. They still looked not great in that first half. Like they looked very, I mean, it was just clunky.

It was clunky, the entire first half. Cam, can you turn that off because you're ahead of everyone else? Do we do even know where a B? Like, is he actually injured or is it or is this like one of those because his his designation on the injury report has been really weird. So I saw someone. I think it was Schefter, which we we got to talk about Schefter later, but he had a follow-up tweet that was maybe it might have been Rapport.

But essentially, it was like when Antonio Brown got hurt, the doctor said four to six weeks, this is the sixth week. He should be back next week. Yeah, thanks. Yeah, I appreciate it. Thank you. Rapport and Schefter are the same person. Yes, they are. But anyway, so so this. Yeah, this game so winnable for the Colts

and they completely like fucked it up in the second half. I also think that Gronk is back because I don't know if you saw a post game. He did a video on the tarmac where I think he just now realized that the the number four is in Leonard Fournette's name and he scored four touchdowns. It really tickled Rob Gronkowski. Once he learned that, yeah, he was very he's like, no, no, you're Leonard Four as in four touchdowns net. Uh huh. It was great.

Well, he was like experiencing the game like the rest of us were who were on Twitter, who we were just refreshing and everybody said Leonard Fournette. It just took Gronk. He's got like a little he's got like a built in delay. It was great. Like an FCC pause. It was very, very fun. We need to talk about Vita Veja's tooth. Toughest guy in the world.

I mean, he his tooth went flying out and like we watched the replay and he just was smiling and pointing at like, haha, my tooth's out. You know, there are two types of people in this world, a person who gets their tooth knocked out and is it's the end of their world. Like your life is over. If one of your front teeth gets knocked out, if it happened to me right now, I'd march myself directly to a hospital and they'd be like, sir, you don't need to come here.

Just come back when your mouth is healed. I'll go one further. I don't even think you have to get your teeth knocked out. I think you just have to hit your teeth with like a beer bottle a little bit hard. And then you're like, all right, I'm going home for the night. Yeah, like I know this is I don't know what's happened to my teeth. I'm scared. Even if you don't have anything wrong, if you have that happen,

you're just like, fuck it, I'm out. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not doing this. If you eat a popsicle too fast and your teeth hurt, then you freak out. It's a weird sensation. Don't even touch your teeth. No, you bite something. Oh, I was I think I was talking to Hank last week

and I was talking about chewing gum. I was asking everybody had gum. I think Hank said, why don't you just chew on a piece of tinfoil? And I just stared at him. I guess Hank does that recreational. Now, this is a joke. OK, are you sure? Yeah. I was going to say, is there like lightning always going off in your brain?

Oh, no. Yeah. But so there are some people that get freaked out with tooth stuff. And then everyone and then they're no, no, no, no, that's everyone. And then there are other people that get their teeth knocked out and they almost get happier that one of their teeth got knocked out. And in hockey players and hockey players. Don't talk until you try it, though. You never know. No, don't. No, don't even talk.

I couldn't talk to him for like an hour after that, because I was just thinking about chewing on tinfoil. But it's brutal. But yeah, some people get more amped up when their tooth gets knocked out. They're like, finally, this is awesome. Like you're like you're taking a car out into the highway and opening up for the first time just to see what it can do. It's like, now I can really start living.

It was, I mean, but he is the toughest guy. Like that clip will just live on in my brain, where he's just smiling, pointing his tooth like, look, see, like he's like a kid that lost. My tooth and then Bruce Arians had an all time quote after the game, probably like three or four cocktails deep at the time. He said, I don't care that he lost his tooth. He's got 30 more of them. I don't know if Bruce Arians knows how many teeth you have in your mouth.

It depends on wisdom teeth, right? I'm pretty sure it's an even number, though. Is it because it's symmetrical. It's 32, 32. But if he had his four wisdom teeth taken out, 28, that might be the case. I still haven't had mine taken out. So he might have two out. Oh, OK, you're saying you had one out.

He just had one of them taken out. You think you think Bruce Arians knows like how many teeth? That would be hilarious if he did. Also, Bruce Arians, like the I know he's been wearing it like and it is upper chest for a while now, the pack. He looks like a birdwatcher, like one of those guys just walking around on a guided tour or like or a suicide bomber. Or a suicide bomber.

But I was saying more, you know, maybe not really dark about it. But like, he's more the guy who's walking around giving a tour of a city and he's got the little microphone that like a little speaker on his chest. Yeah, like, all right, follow me here. Or has binoculars in that strap. Yeah, I always thought I always thought it was just like one of those blood alcohol monitors where if it dip below 0.08, he poured himself another genotonic. That too. Yeah.

He's got an ankle monitoring system. I still I'm still not totally in on the box because my eyeball test in the first half told me that the bucks are not the bucks that we saw last year. Well, I I think the box are definitely in that category of like if they get healthy, which is, you know, they're I think they're the oldest roster in the NFL. They brought everyone back from a Super Bowl run. So saying if they get healthy, you know, they'll probably get more injuries down the stretch.

But they still what did Jules what did Jules say? Stop the run, run the football. Stop the run. There was one. Yeah, cover kicks for sure. Stop the run. Their front their front seven is fucking nasty. And I mean, Jonathan Taylor was like that was partially the cult stop going to him. But he was he was a nonfactor in the game.

And they can definitely run the football with Leonard Fournette. So they got at least two out of three. I got to I got to watch more on their special. Yeah, I haven't I've observed them that in that fast of the game yet. But their secondary is definitely still a question mark. Their secondary is if you're playing safe to your corner back for the bucks. You're either 40, 21 or injured or both. Yes. Yes.

So other notes from this game real quick. The guy dressed as a goat, that was something. Yeah, I didn't really get where he was going with the goat thing. Was that in support of Tom Brady? I I think so. But it also was like, I don't know, that just. But the color he looked like a Colts fan wearing a goat uniform. And he was he was a full adult, full like gone through puberty.

Everything done at all can rent a car. Everything. Yeah. And he was maybe even like in his forties and fifties. And he's just like, I'm going as the goat today. Yeah, why not? I actually think that if you're above the age of 30 and you're going to be wearing a costume like that, you got to go full mask. You can't have the face showing because then you you got a lot of pictures

that you have to explain later. You got to go full like superfan. Yeah, Bob, what were you doing on Sunday? Yeah, you got to be so committed to the whatever uniform or outfit that you're wearing that you adopt like a new personality. We put it on your goat, man. Yeah, I'm I'm the goat, man, the superfan of the Colts. People are going to be mad that we rag on Carson Wentz, who has been playing well.

But that was that was Carson Wentz like that second half. And not everything was his fault. I made a joke that at the end of an account that Hail Mary against him. But that like Carson Wentz will have moments and games in second half like that, where you're like, what the fuck's going on? And like, I guess it was a credit to the Bucks secondary because. The Carson Wentz under throw. Everyone play actually works most of the time.

This time it got picked off, which was a big interception. A last note was the last guy on the Bucks to score four touchdowns was Doug Martin, which I just want to remind everyone, Muscle Hamster. Muscle Hamster, that's still his name, even though he tells you that's not his nickname anymore. We're staying with the muscle hamster that I just remembered the Colts did have a muff punt that the Bucks were covered. Yeah, no, that was it.

It went it went Carson Wentz, Fumble, interception, then my kick on the second. So the Bucks are playing well on special teams, yes, according to that play. Yeah, it was tough because the Colts are like I am, I'll say it. I'm legitimately a little bit afraid of my pinky because I think the Colts do they are a decent team. I'm going to put them in my decent category. And if they get a little bit better, like they have all the pieces

that make a scary playoff team. But I just keep going back to like Carson Wentz is going to do something. Like Carson, you're you're I'm scared because the Colts are better than I thought. But I also know in deep down. And I think Colts fans probably know this deep down like trustry. You're asking Carson Wentz to win four playoff games. I don't think that's going to right. But if you look at Frank Reich, I think he's the perfect coach

for the state of Indiana, because I think he's really good at taking like no name guys or guys that are average at best. Carson Wentz going this year, he was still, you know, even though they're paying an exorbitant amount of draft picks for him or like a high value for him, he's not like a superstar anymore. But and they don't really have that many superstars outside of, I don't know, like Jonathan Taylor seems like he's going to be great, but he's still a rookie. I mean, he's still like a young guy in the league that hasn't, you know,

like really gone out there and prove himself on an extended period of time. But Frank Reich is the perfect guy to coach like an average group and make them very good. Yes, I don't think he can take a very, very, very good talented team and make them, you know, into a dynasty. I don't think that's what you're getting, but that's not Indiana for. Yeah. And they are the AFC playoff picture, which we'll get into more of this. But like it is the seven seed just muddles everything because there are there are like five teams, six teams that you throw in that pile

that are either six and five or six and six, like the Colts are, or five and five or five and seven that are all like, I could see it. Like I could see them going on a run. I'd actually say the Colts are probably the best of that group. So but but again, like one of those losses that you walk away from, you're like, how did that happen? We should have won that game similar to some of the other Colts. I mean, think about their last three losses. They lose the Monday night game against the Ravens in overtime, which was like,

they should have won that game. They lost the Titans game in overtime. The Carson Wentz, remember Galaxy Brain through the pick six, instead of taking a safety. And then this game, those three games are against three playoff teams that the Colts absolutely could have won and just one or two things goes wrong for them that if they clean up, they they look like a totally different team. I also think that the Colts are they're an outdoor team that happens to play

indoors most of the time. Yeah. Jim Morrison needs to just open up that fucking roof, make it as cold as possible in there. They just seem to have the identity of one of those real cold weather teams that can out tough you. Yes, I'd agree with that. I'd absolutely agree with that. All right, next game Patriots Titans. Where do we want to start? I mean, the Patriots are rolling, absolutely rolling.

It did feel like the Titans like the Patriots are rolling, but the Titans also are injured and they gave this game away with a ton of turnovers. But the Patriots are rolling like the Patriots are better than the Titans. I think the game was over and I bet on the Titans and I knew it was on the wrong side when Belichick came out rocking the plain white tee. Yeah, so the plain white tee. Look, I am the jacket on the jacket, plain white tee. I do think that he's using the wrong fabric as someone who's been in this spot many times before. There's you reach a certain weight where you're just

you're not an athletic fit guy like he was wearing. But he looked under armor because of the shirt. Yeah, he was wearing like an under armor spandex shirt. And I've I said this on the stream, but I remember like vividly like probably three or four years ago when I had way too much under armor in my closet and I would put it on. And it was like it was like basically filling a sausage in the casing and your body's just like the lumps and everything.

He needs more fabric. He was it was too tight on it. It gives off major vibes of like a major league baseball manager putting on uniform and not putting the coat on over top of it. And you just realize how lumpy they get in their older age. Belichick, I like I admire the confidence to pull it off to me. It looked more like the whole the whole fit going together was like when you're too hungover to go outside for anything.

But you just need to like go across the street and get a breakfast sandwich from the supermarket and walk back. You just put on whatever clothes are closest to you where you walk outside. Technically don't have any nipples showing and then get back. He definitely had I think we said this before, but the the less Belichick cares about his his dress, the better the Patriots are. The more confident he is and he's clearly very confident in the Patriots because they're rolling right now.

I also think this might lend some credence to our theory that Ernie Adams was the one dressing Bill Belichick because he's no longer there. Like I've never have we ever seen Belichick rock this fit before? I can't remember him rock his first time in spandex white shirt. So maybe he's a little lost without Ernie. I think we're I think we're kind of right when it comes to that theory, but it's more so that he's spent so much time game planning for this game that he literally doesn't have the time to go to a closet and look in the mirror.

Why I think he's I think it's it's similar to remember when Dwight got fired in the office and all the plants died like Ernie Adams retired and all Bill Belichick's fits are gone. Yeah, he doesn't know what to do. We are acting like he were normal. No, that's what Ernie Adams' job was to go into the closet and cut the sleeves at varying lengths and make sure he has a lot of fabric. Today, he did not have a lot of fabric.

It was great. Well, he looked great after the game started. He did. No, he looked great. He looked great. He looked like he's like the perfect case of if you wear something with confidence or you don't really give a fuck, you look good. I kind of thought, yeah, I think he looks better the worse he looks. Yes, yes, that I doubt. Now, so, yes, there were some issues that the that the Titans had, obviously, like on the field with the players that they had today.

But also they are down to like nobody playing wide receiver. Yeah, they're done. No one. Here's a fun little stat. Vrabel himself has more touchdown passes caught and he was a linebacker than all four of the wide outs combined. Wow. Winner in today's game. That's ridiculous. Pretty crazy. That's crazy. They also had their first hundred yard rusher, not named Derek Henry

since 2017. Last one was DeMarco Murray, who I always think is really good or was really good because of the awesome on the Cowboys. And yeah, and he was awesome at Oklahoma. But they ran the ball. They did run the ball well. So I guess that would be the only thing you could pick apart on the Patriots because the Patriots are they're at that point now in the season where like you have to nitpick to find something that they're doing incorrectly

because they are absolutely rolling and steamrolling teams like the Titans are a good team and the Patriots whooped them. So here's another fun little stat. Hank, I'd like to hear your comment on this because I know you're a big believer in turnover luck. What about field goal against luck? Because the Patriots right now, if you think like everyone's missing field goals against the Patriots, Fat Randy hit the pipe twice on him.

He did. Yeah. Tan Hill threw an interception on the one. Yeah. And then they're chasing those points for the rest of the game. Yeah. The Patriots right now, teams kicking field goals against them have only made 60 percent of the field goals, which is about 10 percent better than any other team in the NFL right now. So they're like far and away, the best team at defending field goals,

not like blocks, but just having defending them, defending them in spirit. Yes. So, Hank, I'd like to hear. I think it's like the highest percentage, at least in the last 10 years that I looked up, again, I don't know how to use Excel. So I probably fucked that one up. But it's still like a remarkably good field goal against percentage. Yeah, it's probably the little things. It's probably something they go over and practice.

You know, the guys on the edge know what to do, get the kickers a little thrown off. Yeah. It'll probably come back to by just in the ass in the playoffs. Who knows? I mean, I don't really know what you could. I mean, you you said it. I heard you whisper in the back row today, like playing for home field. You guys are playing for that one number one by now. Officially, that Bill's game next Monday night, which just as a sidebar,

we've had our we've had our differences with ESPN in the past. Guy who's no longer there. But Jimmy Pitaro needs a shout out for basically sitting on Roger Goodell's lap and making sure we have good Monday night football games. Yeah. In December, because like this is like what? Let's just let's just look real quick at next week's schedule. So next week is is Bill's Patriots. If you don't know the NFL basically punished ESPN every year

by giving him the worst Monday night football games. Jimmy Pitaro took over has has like, you know, they've gotten their relationship mended and now we get good Monday night football games. I think she actually had a lot to do that. That's just referring to everybody in the league as Mr. Editor. But we were we were the ones who were losing because the viewers. If if if John Skipper was still ESPN, I'm going to just look right now. It would have been Colts Texans.

It would have been Colts Texans Monday night football next week. We've got we get bills. We've got some awesome games. Yes. So I'm excited for that game. That game is going to be enormous. I wish I like had a video camera like was vlogging myself when we went to Buffalo in the summer for Great Week and the confidence and the way Bill's fans were talking and they were acting like the bills were shooting

into in the East and the Patriots are going to be terrible. And they're like, oh, like every single person, every single person is like, oh, we're going to fuck you guys up in December. We're going to come and say, like, yeah, yeah, you guys own us. I just would like to talk to those people now. I just like to talk to those people now. I haven't you guys can admit they were rationally confident. Yeah, they were just confidence.

It was like Buffalo is a city of hope. We're already better than you. There's no chance you guys are even going to be close. And now we're going to be ahead of them in the division with, you know, just our own field. I don't want to get ahead of ourselves. But like the idea that like Mac Jones, if he won a Super Bowl as a rookie and we have to be like, wait, they're going to do this again for the next one.

If Mac Jones was a Super Bowl as a rookie, I think we can officially declare that the Patriots won the Tom Brady, Bill Belichick divorce. Oh, my God, it would like getting a Super Bowl is playing incredible in a non covid year. Oh, that's incredible. Ryan Tain Hill, by the way, he had 93 yards passing. Yep. We won't throw anyone. Yep. Right. Actually, the best throw, if you want to, if we want to go greeny on it, the best throw of the day was Mike Vrabel's challenge flag.

It was a sweet throw, right? Right in front of the ref through with with malicious intent. Yep. I love a good, angry challenge, though, because if you're a referee and you get the mad throw, you know, you fucked up. You don't even have to look at it. If a coach is mad enough, you can just simply declare, OK, you win this challenge. I screwed it up. My hands up. Right. And I, Mike Vrabel, I think who's like the best?

He's got to be the best angry challenge. So I'm thinking like Pete Carroll is maybe up there. Pete Carroll's got a good challenge throw when he gets really upset. Belichick and like Belichick and Andy Reed are two guys, they're old heads, but they do the like toss like this, the disgusted like Bill Belichick will just take the flag out and drop it into freefall. He doesn't he doesn't see the need to spend any energy tossing. Why would you do this?

Tomlin, I feel like has a good challenge. So he does a little crow hop. Yeah, he's crow hop. He's like he's smacking his gum a little bit when he does it. I always enjoy that. And he's always got a grumpy toss. But it's also kind of sad because, you know, he's not going to win the challenge. Yes, I would like to see it had a good challenge throw to just from practice.

If I were if I were an NFL coach, I'd have I'd have a t-shirt cannon and I would just do it from that. I like that. I'd fucking shoot it right at the ref. I like that. Sean Payton has a good me my bazooka. Sean Payton's got a great angry challenge. Yeah, he does every penalty. Everything that he needs to challenge is a personal affront to the Saints organization.

Yes, yes, it is. It's very true. Imagine if you were just if there's someone's on the sideline, though, like Rambo with a bazooka t-shirt cannon around their chest, the whole game, Brazilian style, just fucking whip it around. It'd be sick. I don't think there's anything in the rule book against doing that. No. All right. So the Patriots are really, really good.

The Titans are very, very injured. I think the Titans have big time. I mean, I guess they found something a little bit with the running game. Turns out Adrian Peterson wasn't the answer. Who knew? Bring in Frank Gore. Yeah, who knew it? Braves. Yeah.

Bring in Frank Gore. But yeah, the Patriots are rolling and Monday Night Football in Buffalo is going to be an absolute scene. I'm pretty pumped. You want to do who's who's the spread anyway? Who's the spread anyway? I'm going to say. Patriots, Patriots by one.

Oh, I'm going to say bills two and a half. Bills two and a half. PFC's got Patriots one. Bills minus three and a half. Oh, wow. That's a computer play for you. That is, I mean, according to the numbers on that one, Vegas is fucked up.

You have to hammer it. That tells me Vegas is flying blind on this one. They don't know what to do. That one will come back to three. Yeah. If I know the market. Wait, it's in Buffalo. I forgot. Yes. Yeah. All right. So I was almost dead on.

Sweet. The three points matter. So you. So you. OK, so you thought it was. OK, I was going to say bills two. I was surprised that you were that high. Yeah, I forgot because Hank was talking about going to the game. I was like, surely.

Oh, wait, that's right. Yeah, it's in Buffalo. All right. Next game. Giants Eagles. Just an all time Giants win when Dave Gettelman is like sort of Dave Gettelman and Matt Nagy are the two guys that are fired, but not fired. I think Gettelman may have leaked that news himself,

expecting that Giants fans would go out to be like, no, don't fire Gettelman. No, and everyone's like, please. Yes, franchise around. And then completely underestimated that reaction. Yeah. I I don't know what the Giants will do. I was listening front of the program, Nick Costas, who's a big Giants fan.

It was like, I think what the Giants are going to end up doing is just giving the keys to Joe Judge totally, which is scary. If that happens, so he's going to be GM. Everything. Yeah. That would be very scary. That's the only way that he really can plan for the future. Yeah. If you're Joe Judge, because if you get another general manager in there,

even if they accept to like work with you, they'll probably get input from Joe Judge as to who the next. It doesn't work. It's going to be like, Joe Judge, who do you want to fire you in a year? Yeah, right. Exactly. That's not a good formula. But if they gave like complete control to Joe Judge on everything,

I would love it just for the comedic aspect of it. But this was such a Giants win because backs against the wall look terrible against the box. Joe Judge or Gettelman is getting fired, supposedly. Everyone's down on them. And then they win a game ugly with defense. And you're you're back to being like, are the Giants like sort of good sometimes?

If the Giants can make you play Giants football against them. Giants will beat you with experience at that game. It's crazy. And they will a game up. So they will make it sometimes. Daniel Jones will up a play just to demonstrate. Hey, here's how we're playing football up here and hope the other team copies them. Yeah, it's basically like agreed upon rules before the game.

Daniel Jones is like, watch this, we're going to be up today. Yeah, you got to you got to be in kind. No, you're right, because sometimes when they play against a team like the Pate or like the Buccaneers, you're like, hey, wait, the Bucs. That's not sporting what the Bucs are doing right now to the Giants. They're playing a different sport out there. Right. It's not fair. It's not fair. But yeah, the Giants defense playing well. I the the Eagles like

I feel like I haven't figured out, but actually, no, I haven't figured out they can run the ball on anyone. And then when Jalen Hurst has to throw the ball, it's a mess. They think in the red area is what they do. They're terrible once they get down there. And I mean, to Jalen Hurst's credit, he threw two touchdown passes on that last drive. Neither one was caught. Yeah. But I mean, he put it there.

Well, you bring that up. And I know Eagles fans feel this in their bones every single day. Probably when they wake up, this is the first thought in their head. But we always talk about drafts and draft regret. And, you know, I went through it with the Mitch and the Mahomes and all that stuff. Jalen Rieger was drafted the pick before Justin Jefferson. And I know that Eagles fans, like every day they wake up and that's what they're thinking in their head.

Well, it's also a little bit different when it's not a quarterback, because you can be like this quarterback would have turned everything around. But when the when the draft pick turns out as bad as Rieger has, then you immediately do jump. And it's wide receiver. And it's the literally the pick before I don't trade up. They might have Rieger, Rieger, Rieger. They might have traded up for it, too.

I got to check that. That would be really bad. Yeah. I don't actually know. I don't think they did. It sucks that Jefferson is so good for them. But you would just like him to be an average receiver. Justin Jefferson. Imagine Justin Jefferson and Devante Smith together.

That would be you basically have your receiver core set. Yeah. For the next 10 years. If I if I'm the Eagles, here's my game plan for Nick Siriani. Just run the ball. Use your three running backs and Jalen Hertz to just run the ball, run the ball, run the ball and then occasionally throw the ball to Devante Smith. And that's it really. Maybe Dallas got I don't think Dallas got her had a catch today.

No, which is that's crazy. Well, Jalen Hertz had Jalen Hertz is the new. I mean, he does a lot more obviously with his feet, but he definitely is the Josh Rosen stack guy because he was 14 for 31, 129 yards, three interceptions. Not good. 14 for 31. That's tough. Not good. It's tough to be in the NFL and throw like that.

What do you say, Jake? So they were contemplating trading up for CDLAM. That's right. And then they decided to take rigor over Johnson. Jeffery, that's right. That's adding insult to injury. That's right. Probably should have traded up for CD. That's pretty that's pretty tough. So they were they basically had three doors

and they picked the only door that like just a fucking monster came out and ate their head off. And I would have loved to hear Eagles fans screaming in the Philadelphia accent about CDLAM calling into the radio. I don't want to pick right after. Yeah, no, the pick right after. And again, I'm saying this and Eagles fans are saying, like, dude, why like they're listening this right now. They're like, what do you think we were thinking

when we were eating our cereal this morning? Yeah. Disexact thought. So I'm not it's something new here. Also, the Giants, I'm on to you. You guys are just doing like a name retirement every single week now. It was a straight hand game. Like you guys are doing. I'm on to your shit. You know, the defense is going to show up on straight hand night.

Doing it every fucking game. It's a smart way to sell tickets. Jake pointed out that it probably it does feel like this is the year of like celebration and retiring numbers, probably because covid. We didn't get to do it last year. But I feel like the Giants, every game, they have something. We're doing the throwbacks. They're doing they're doing something. And again, they wore those awesome uniforms today, which look amazing,

especially if you're not a fan of the Giants and you see them wearing those uniforms, you're rooting for the Giants that day. Yes. But then Giants fans are like, wait, we always suck in these uniforms. Yes. Yes. But again, when we had we had this discussion, the Giants, the Giants have, I think, lost the most games in the NFL in the last five years. They're doing a good job of hiding that, though, yeah, probably by just bringing back all their old good old players.

Yeah, no, it's next week is like Madison Hitchcock. Remember, instead? It's actually like a great reminder that if you can just be great a couple of times and win two Super Bowls in the last 20 years, people will people will kind of just forget that you suck really bad for a while. This was huge for the Giants, too, because this this fully cemented them as being in the in the hunt graphic. Yes. This win made it look legit that you're included in that graphic,

whereas technically you would be still included. Everyone is except the Lions. The Lions aren't eliminated yet, though. Yes, I think the Lions. This is your last week before elimination, potentially. So save it while you can. Lions fans. No big deal. No big deal. Beat them up.

Yep. Dan Campbell. Oh, my God. The two time. You should be lucky that we're not doing recap of Thanksgiving day games because he's he's I feel I felt bad for him. But now it's like your own doing. So Dan Campbell, I don't I would not call him a loser because he's not a loser. But he did have a loser excuse for the double time outs. His excuse was we called the second time out because we saw that we were going to get toasted in the flat for a touchdown if we didn't call it.

So it's actually good, even though I didn't know the rule. It's a good outcome that we called the time out, took the ten yard penalty as opposed to giving up a touchdown right there. And Matt Nagy was calling timeouts at random place. They was it was essentially like a slap fight where someone was like, hey, someone should break this up. I was like, no, they're not going to hurt each other. It's like watching two birds trying to do math.

Yeah, like they're not going to. Nothing's going to happen here. All right. Before we get to the next game, a quick word from our friend at Coors Light. I love Coors Light. The mountains were blue this weekend. I don't know about you guys, but the mountains, you know, they're usually blue for me on weekends. Thanksgiving was specifically blue. It's time to keep your beers outside.

The mountains turn blue when they're outside right now. If you're lucky enough to live in a cold weather city. I love Coors Light. Drink it all the time. It's our favorite beer here at part of my take. It's holiday season. It's Coors Light season. There's only one beer out there that's literally made to chill. And that's Coors Light. I love their new commercials, by the way.

We had the the weird looking snowman that starts rocking out in the front lawn playing some Boston. Yeah, it's a great commercial. When you hit when you need to hit reset, just crack open to Coors Light. It's Mountain Cold refreshment. It's made to chill with Coors Light. The mountains and cans even turn blue. When your beer is cold, that way you can always know when it's time to chill. I love cracking open an ice cold Coors Light.

Nothing better than a Friday Coors Light. At the end of the day, you get home from work, officially tell your body, guess what, it's time for the weekend. Time to chill. When you need to chill out this holiday season, reach for the beer that's made to chill. Get Coors Light delivered straight to your door with Drizly or Instacart by going to CoorsLight.com.

Slash take. Go to CoorsLight.com. Slash take. Celebrate responsibly Coors Brewing Company, Golden Colorado. OK, next up, Jake's Dolphins, who are now very much in the hunt. I think the Dolphins, the Dolphins have been upgraded from bad team to good. Yeah, good sometimes. No, good. It's good question, Mark. Well, actually good right now.

Yeah, they are good right now because they are on a four game winning streak. They've given up a total of 46 points in that four game winning streak. I became a Tua believer three or four weeks ago. Perfect timing because he's playing well. Like he's not, you know, two is not. They've gotten to you so hard. No, they haven't. Dude, did you see that video of the dolphin, dude?

It's great. It's great. It's scary. Yeah. I don't know. So it's a scary people. I do not want to piss them off. Two is not bad. No, he's not. But he always seems to have the ball on the ground during plays when the ball is not supposed to be on the ground. Yeah. But he usually picks it up

and throws an incomplete pass after he picks it up. But if I'm watching a dolphin's game, the ball is four yards behind the line of scrimmage right next to his feet, like five times a game. Yes. And he's he's doing a very good job of like playing. I don't want to call him a game manager because that would be mean. But there are game manager like he's not. It's not like he's bombing the the ball down the field. He's not paid Patrick Mahomes assistant to the game manager.

But he's very efficient and he's playing good football and he's part of the reason why they keep winning these games. So I'm I'm not a to a hater anymore. I'm actually a believer. I want him to do well. I've been waiting for a new awesome touchdown celebration this year. And I wasn't going to stand for Adam Thielen trying to do the grittier, whatever he's trying to do. The Waddle celebration is awesome.

It was a lot of scores and he does the Waddle walk. And then his offensive lines start waddling with him. That's the new best touchdown celebration this year. It was Jalen Waddle's breakout game, 137 yards and a touchdown. He also got, you know, a guy is having a breakout performance or also like is something special when they do the the speedometer on him. So fourth fastest guy or third fastest guy, Daniel Jones, number one in the NFL this year. No, it was Marquez Valdez scantling for the Packers.

And then number two and number three kind of shocked me, Jonathan Taylor. Number two and number three for the fat first. So and then Jalen Waddle was four with he checked in at twenty one point eight miles per hour. That seems like it's fast. It's pretty fast. I have no feelings for our friends. It seems like that person could probably chase me down. Yes, that feels very, very fast.

He did get it was his breakout game. He did get caught from behind today. Then one time on a like he had a wide open field in front of him. One of the cornerbacks on the Panthers chased him down from like four yards behind. That was pretty cool to watch. But yeah, he looks good. He looks like, you know, he's as advertised. I'm going to put the as advertised.

Yeah. And then Jalen Waddle. Jake has told us and he's right. The dolphins have the giants, the Jets and at the Saints in their next three games. They're five and seven right now. That's I said after three isn't it? They were two and seven. And then there's that's very like they could absolutely finish the season and they play at the Titans versus the Patriots Patriots could be could be could be.

So yeah, they could absolutely finish nine and eight, ten and seven. Jake said five hundred by Christmas. Yeah. Maybe not ten and seven. They'd have to run the day. They don't have their pick. So who cares if there's no such thing as ruining their draft pick right now? Yeah. Brian Flores is back to being coach of the year. Yeah. Just like he's always in the conversation for.

He always finds himself in and around that that talk piece. He's the he's a quintessential. You know, he's doing a great job. Brian Flores down in Miami. Well, it's also there's like built in. It's like if you have a bad team with no expectations and you outperform those expectations, then you're in the running for coach of the year. Brian Flores is always around that every year.

But if you're really a great coach, shouldn't people have expectations for you? Yes. Going into the next year? Yes. Whatever it is, Brian Flores has tricked us into thinking that the dolphins are always going to suck. And then we always get surprised when they're when they're good. They're building something. They're the dark horse. They're always building something here.

Yeah. Like Carmela Soprano. Oh, yeah. Remember that, Hank? When she had that spec house that she was building. It was a passion project. Finally sold it. Her dad used the wrong wood.

We should talk about Cam Newton. So that was nice when we thought that maybe he was back, even though we had an entire year plus of Cam Newton to watch and be like, this guy isn't really a quarterback anymore, but he was kind of back for that one week. It was like a week and a half because he had the touchdown against the Cardinals. He had two touchdowns against Cardinals running and passing. And then he said he was back. Then he was back.

Then he had the touchdown early against Washington football team. We did the whole thing. It felt cool. And then today. So two had four in completions. Cam Newton had five completions. Yes. He was five for twenty one for 92 yards and two picks.

Five for twenty one. Five for twenty one. It's not ever a good thing when your stat line sounds like it's a medium decent special night for a bucket of beers at Buffalo Wildlands. Yeah. Five for twenty one. Yeah. Five for twenty one.

Come on down. It's industry night. Yeah. That's that's how I judge quarterback performances. I related to like a case of beer. Twenty for twenty four. That's a great night. Yes. Five for twenty one.

The you have to go back all the way till 2004 to find someone who had a worse completion percentage with over 20 passes. Can you guess that person? It's a guy who I still think if you told me he was coming back tomorrow to yes or so. No, I would say this guy is going to be good because there's it's a certain give me a hand video game cover. I was sure it was to us a sopo Michael Vick.

Nope. Joey Harrington. Oh shit. Yeah. Harrington five for twenty two week thirteen against the Packers in 2004 for forty seven yards. He was awesome at Oregon. He was awesome. I don't know if this is like a Pete Carroll twin thing that I've just made up in my mind.

But wasn't there a magazine cover that had Joey Harrington on it like modeling jeans. Wasn't he a jeans model for something like that. He was. I googled it about a year ago. I can't find shit on the Internet for Joey Harrington wearing cool jeans. And it's it's Joey Harrington. I I it might be a baron scene bears.

It might be. Yeah. We're just like OK. He was. Are you thinking Brady Quinn maybe with no no no no no no no. Brady Quinn sexy photo. Yeah. But he's not a jeans guy.

He's like a GQ tux guy with bow tie undone. Yeah. That's that's Brady Quinn. Joey Harrington though for I think for people who are younger than I would say I don't know maybe younger than 25 who don't understand that like Oregon was became cool like with Joey Harrington in that whole era before the Chip Kelly Kelly Oregon teams. And like he was so different and like holy shit like this guy just passes

all over the place like he's incredible. Organs awesome. He got to the NFL. He got Lyons. He got Lyons and Joey Harrington. If you told me he was making a comeback. I'd be like he's perpetually like 29 years old in my head and he could absolutely light it up if he was playing in the Pac 12 probably not in the NFL.

I still pretty sure there's a Bears game where we picked him off like five times. I also think that Mike Williams the guy that went to the Lions out of USC. I still think he would have been awesome. Oh yeah. If you didn't have that one year off from the NFL when he couldn't get drafted. He just showed up fat as fuck. Yeah. The Lions were that stretched the Matt Millen.

I don't know if Matt Millen drafted Joey Harrington. But like when the Lions were like we're just going to create a fantasy team. I love that strategy. It was so awesome. Yeah. If you're not going to be good at least be entertaining. Who's the other. Who's the other receiver.

Calvin Johnson. No, no, no, no, no, the Texas Roy Williams Texas Roy Williams. Yeah. He was going to be sick too. McCaffrey left in a walking boot today. Yeah. So this is about the clock was was getting to be about that time. Christian McCaffrey's body is more reliable than the tides.

Yeah. You can just tell after like three weeks. OK, it's about time for McCaffrey to take another two weeks off. It sucks, too, because he really did look like a couple of weeks ago, like he was back so much so that I bet every single prop on him today. Yeah, I had I had a great feeling. Nobody cares about your fantasy team. But I did start McCaffrey and Hubbard today because I just felt like it was an injury.

This was the injury week for Christian McCaffrey. His scientist uses hamstrings to calibrate instruments. Yes, for accurate notions of time. Yes. Where's Joey Harrington now? Can you find that for me? He's running a charity out in Portland. Got it.

So that's that's a sign of I made a lot of I made a fuck ton of money and I took care of it. Yeah. My life is pretty damn good. Don't cry for me, Joey Harrington. No, he's doing. He's probably a listener. Yeah, he is. What up, Joey?

I still think you could fucking light it up, bro. Joey, send me an autographed jeans picture. Two two thousand three cover two thousand three cover. The first article that pops up is playing for the Detroit Lions drove Joey Harrington into depression. Oh, yeah. Well, that's what happens. Yeah, I'm sorry, Joey. Oh, three.

The NCAA cover. Yeah, he was awesome. That was Joey Harrington. Joey Harrington career earnings. Let's see. There is a part of Joey Harrington where like I do think that he could have he could have dropped the why and been a lot better. Joseph. No, just Joe Harrington.

Joey Harrington. Yeah, Joey just makes no very like kid, you know, a little kid just throwing it around the yard. Doesn't look like he made that much money. Really? I think well, relatively speaking, I think he made. Oh, wait, thirty one million. That's pretty good. All right.

So any other column. I told you I sucked at it. So he also like Joey Harrington. If you're going to be a high draft pick and get paid a lot of money, it's almost better to like suck right away. So you're like, OK, this isn't for me. I got to save my money like there was never a solution of Joey Harrington. Like I'm going to get a big second contract here. He knew like, all right, this is like like David Carr probably did the same thing with David

Carr, was like, this isn't going to work. He's like, I'm going to elect to be a great backup for a long time. Yeah, like it's there's something nice about knowing that. Yeah. OK, so the money you just made, let's just stick with that and maybe save it a little bit because the next one's not coming. Yeah. He so on his rookie salary, seven mil, seven mil and then two mil, then eight mil under

his original contract. If you know after that first year, which he did being on the Lions, yes, this is not going to be something that you'll be a professional at until you're 40 years old. Then yeah, you just you transition elegantly into backup, which he did for a few years and he was fine. And then he realized, you know what, I don't really want to go to training camp anymore. I've already made $30 million. See, I'm going to go run a charity in Portland.

Yeah. Good for you, Joey. That year he threw in college, he threw 27 touchdowns and six interceptions, which doesn't sound like a lot, but it was a lot in 2001. Smart move on his part, moving back to Oregon. Yes. Because if you ever find yourself in a situation where, I don't know, maybe, you know, your pocket's feeling a little bit like that month, you can just go down to the local car dealer

should be like, Hey, can I do the Joey special? Yeah. Do a commercial real quick. Throw on some jeans next to that cover. Yeah. We'll be good to go. Um, all right. Next game, uh, Jets Texans, Billy, you're up wins for the boys this week.

Wait, PFT, if you don't win them on a football, I know, I got a lot of 12 would be a clean sweep of the team. I got I got a lot of work to do. Holy shit. Has that ever happened? I don't think that's that there's no way that's happened in the last two years. I mean, it's the Jets Dolphins football team in Paris is so probably that hangs over here, like just looking.

It must be so awesome to be a Patriots fan. I was thinking about that today. Like even your bad years aren't that bad and then you're back to being good again. And it's been like this for his entire fucking life. I remember when we were still doing the rundown, like they, uh, there was one Monday where Kevin, the Jets and the Bears, one of the Patriots lost and we're like, wait, what? What's going on here? It's, it's ridiculous.

If you're a Patriots fan, I don't even think you know how good you have it. Someone posted the stat. I can't find it right now, but it was like the, uh, the point differential of the last 20 years. Oh, I saw that. And it was like the Patriots were dealers by like double what they had. I think the Patriots are a plus a thousand when everyone's missing field. And number two was like plus 400.

Yeah, it was, it was insane. It was that's 20 years. Yeah. Every week, you know, the Patriots are probably going to win. This definitely counts as Jets talk, by the way. So everyone knows this is Jets, Texans talk. I mean, you're doing the time. And then people are talking about it.

It's like, what do you want to do? Do you think after Belichick, after he retires, if they make a misstep in hiring their next coach, you think everyone in, in like New England is going to go Sui season? Yeah, it's going to be Steve, dude. Steve, Steve Belichick. You think so? Why not?

Poor, uh, what's his name? McDaniels. I'll tell you, maybe it'll be the, you know, interview one year. Um, all right. So Jets, Texans, again, that, that did count. So I, there is a guy who like keeps a clock of everything. This is like a description of the show. Oh yeah.

This is like, this is like when I hit, when I hit the chess, uh, timer, we, I've already hit the chess timer for Jets, Texans. Right. We're still going to even this talk about how we're talking about the Jets, Texans counts as Jets, Texans talk. My big takeaway from this is so to add this Texans win to their wins against the Titans and the Bengals, does this mean that the Texans are good? Wait, what do you mean?

Because the Jets only beat good teams. Yeah, that's true. That is true. I don't know. So congratulations on beating another good team today, Bill. I was, I was going to say my only takeaway was Zach Wilson, who had the funniest interception of the year. Yeah.

Well, maybe close to one still, but well, no, that shit, that was actually smart by him because if he took a safety, it would have been a game over. But Zach Wilson throwing a shovel pass off of, uh, I was in his tight end, his running back, who wasn't looking off of his back into a Texans hands. That was awesome. When he threw it, he was looking. He turned around to block for Zach Wilson. Zach Wilson still hurt.

God, he's still hurt. Limping, you know, that I did see a quota afterwards. Not the best when, uh, your franchise quarterback number two pick in the draft is like, my knee doesn't feel stable. That's what he said. That's a, that I'm not a doctor, but that doesn't feel great. It was funny when he threw that interception, Billy's immediate reaction was, well, that's basically an inner set or that's like a point that

I and T is as good as a punt. And in a way it was like the worst punt of all time. Yeah. He was like, Oh, it's third down. It was basically a pun. It's like, boy, you, it was basically the line of scrimmage. Third and long. Yeah.

No, actually terrible, uh, trying to stay positive. Uh, Josh Johnson probably should have started. It would have been an easier win, but Zach Wilson in the game is still investing in the future. That's what we're going with. What do you think about his haircut? Because he always wears the headband, which is a pretty cool look. But, um, today his headband came off on one play.

They ripped his helmet off and I saw that he's got like a reverse mullet situation. It's business and it's business in the back and party in the front. It's like super long, just at the front of his hairline and then really short everywhere else. As someone who kind of gets the same haircut, I actually have to defend it. It's kind of swag. Okay. There it is.

It's kind of swag. Put that on a quote. It's kind of swag. It's kind of swag. Maybe you really, yeah, you really, you're really back in your guy there. Kind of swag. Uh, hope for the future. Um, Texans, the only thing I have from them is Justin Reed, maybe their best

player got benched for, uh, seemingly no reason on Friday. He was told he was benched. Uh, and I still, the Texans culture is the most baffling thing in the world. They basically, it's like Scientology down there. I would say that it'd be weirder if they continue to play all their best players. It's, they hired the perfect coach to do weird shit that makes no sense. That will eventually elevate their draft picks. But, but this is one of their best players that like, I think his contracts up

maybe next year or the year afterwards, like he's one of the guys that should be around when you start to build for the future. And the quote was, uh, so he was, he was benched on Friday. He said, I'm actually really shocked at coach Cully's decision to make me an active. I couldn't believe it. That sounds good. That sounds like a healthy relationship down in Houston.

You think Cully's coming back next year? Would you want to come back? We've talked about whether or not you'd want to play for the Texans. Would you want to coach the Texans right now? I think he's coming back. And I think he he's coming back because is anyone asking for him to get fired? I don't, I like Texans fans. Tell us what's going on, because I don't, I think they're at like sell the franchise mode.

Oh, big time. I it's actually a very good job to have because they're so disengaged. No state income tax. No state income tax. They're so disengaged that they won't ever take an active interest in how you're performing a job. Right. Which is actually a great place to be as a coach.

Yes. So that's Jets, Texans, any other notes to keep the clock running? No. Josh Johnson's two point conversion was pretty sick. Yeah, that's true, which he's your third string quarterback. Also, there was reports that their mics were being messed with during the game. Oh, wow. Why the communication?

Now, that would be that would absolutely like in the in the grand scheme of things. In terms of cheating in the NFL, the Texans cheating against the Jets has to be the worst use of your cheating like card. I think it might be a good use of it because you're not going to get caught. No one's going to care. Yeah. I mean, Billy just told us and I don't care. Yeah.

Even if you do get caught, it's like, OK, so you use you use cheating to win against the worst team. Yeah. But imagine if they get like sanctions for this. I can get a great dad on the scale. Yeah, he can't be he just has to be like, you know what? This is this game shouldn't have even happened. How did you cheat against the New York Jets? Well, we just we played them in a football game.

Yeah, we we competed against. We tried hard. Yeah. Yeah, Jets defense tries hard. There it is. Very hard. Something nice about the Jets. They do try hard and there is something about being a really, really bad team.

Like I can speak to this myself beating the Lions on Thursday. When you beat a team that in your head, you're like, that team's worse than us. And then you actually beat them. It does feel good. You're like, you know what? We're not that team. I like it when coaches celebrate beating shitty teams. Yeah.

Because at the end of this, Salah. And now Billy's got me all fucked up in how to say it. Salah. It's Salah. He's been saying Salah. But when Salah ran out onto the field, he was actually pumped. He was excited to get that victory. Yes. He was like proud of his guys.

Whereas if you see a guy like Urban Meyer, when his team wins, he's just like, get me off this fucking sideline right now, at least. I'm not here. Yes. Yes. Youngest starters in the NFL, 61 percent of starters are pretty young. I think like under 25, 61 percent of starters are pretty young. That's a stat that's from a brain. And I think it's right.

You guys are doing it's a mark of a, again, not to make it about the Bears, but actually Washington football team, you can speak to it as well. It's a mark of a really bad team when you're getting to like your fourth and fifth quarterback on the season. You're like, oh, this is how many guys took a snap. This is how many guys started the game. You don't know who's going to start the next game. And it happens to three weeks in a row.

That's when you know that you've achieved a level of clown fuckery that that you never want to return to. It's it's very, very bad. And usually Josh Johnson is involved in that discussion. Yeah. That's like when everyone would would would yell and be like, Jake Cutler's not the answer. I'm like, but at least he starts every week. Yeah. Most of the time, except for when he gets injured,

you get the feeling of some consistency. If it's the same guy, we can week out. Yeah, exactly. Sixty two point one percent of the Jets defense is under 25. Wow. What a stat. Let's go, Billy. That seems like you're that's the future. You're building for the future. All right. That was way too much Jets Texans talk.

Bengals Steelers. The Steelers whooped the Bengal or sorry, sorry. The Bengals whooped the Steelers. The last three times the Bengals and Steelers are played, the Bengals are winning 92 to 37. They kick their ass and they also Big Ben. It's over. This felt like a torch game, not for Big Ben passing anything to Joe Burrow,

but more just the Steelers torch getting snuffed out. This iteration of the Steelers. Yes. Big Ben, just just kill him on the field, just euthanize him. It was so sad to watch. He looked like a horse with a broken leg, trying to run down the stretch. The big six that he had, it was in the air for longer than most punts.

It was so bad. It was, but you know what I was thinking about, too, because there have been moments where I've been like, Big Ben's not that washed. He's he's done something that every quarterback that wants to hold on for as long as possible should take a note from Big Ben. He's he's not good anymore.

He's slow. He's like he can't make throws. Everything is used to their. Yeah, their entire offense is underneath passes that are short of the first down line or bombs down the sideline. But the bombs down the sideline, he overthrows it a lot. So the bomb. You're like, whoa, the bombs. Arms still got zipped. The bombs on the sidelines sometimes look pretty good.

He puts it in between the numbers in the sideline. He'll he'll be good for like four or five of those completions a game. Yeah, but it's everything else doesn't really work. And it's sad watching his brain try to understand why his body doesn't do all the things that he's telling it to do, because he doesn't get that he's old now. I'm so feels young. I think he's his arm strength looks pretty bad.

I think they should let him start jacking off again. Yeah, I think that once he stopped watching porn, he lost a lot of that quick twitch stuff in his arm. Let him jerk off. It can't be any worse. It's it. You know what? The it's sad. I'm happy, though. Here's what I'll say is I'm happy that Phil Rivers and Big Ben

at least staggered their retirements. It was too much. This is going to hurt. He is so funny. He's just I'm going to miss him so much. But man, is he bad and Steelers fans. They all are like, dude, this sucks now. It really, really sucks.

Not to mention I'm not going to throw it all on Big Ben. The Steelers like the Steelers, everyone thinks defense and they had a great defense last year. Their run defense is bad. Like they get run over. They got run over by Joe Mixon. The Bengals just that was an absolute like man up just from the first fucking play to the end of the game.

They just kicked the shit out of the Steelers. And I, you know, the Bengals are now we they peaked too early, but they're now back to being like, this is a good team. This is a very solid team. I think that Joe Burrow has been upgraded from functional speed to deceptively fast now. Yes, because he's he's the new king of doing

little slow motion jukes on people, way more athletic players than he is and having it actually work. Yeah, I think he juked out Minka Fitzpatrick at the goal line today on a sick run. One of those runs where I saw him in the open field and I'm still in my head thinking like Joe Burrow. I saw the scar on his knee. Yeah, he's still injured, but he was going downhill

in the open field. I was like, get down, Joe. And then he put like the world's slowest side step on Fitzpatrick, who's a great tackler and it somehow worked and he got in the end zone. Yeah. So yeah, the Bengals are there. They have a tough stretch down the down the stretch here. They have Chargers, Niners at the Broncos, Ravens Chiefs at the Browns.

Like they are they're going to be tested. But I think that they are officially like they're they're not in. Well, actually, you know what? AFC is so wide open. Here's what I'll say about the Bengals. They they are a. They're more than competent. I wouldn't say they're great. No, they're just good. They're just a good team.

They're a good team. They're a good team, a solid team. They play good defense. They can run the ball and Joe Burrow is awesome. Like they do everything very, very well. And yeah, I I believe in the Bengals. I think the Bengals are like a couple pieces away from being a legit Super Bowl contender.

They're not there yet, but here's. But they've got enough foundation around them where I don't think that you're going to see too many games where the Bengals show up and get whooped. Here's here's my whoopable. Here's why I'm I'm like pausing because I got burned before. They beat the Ravens in that game. Whatever it was like week seven and we were like, holy shit,

the Bengals are for real. And they went out and lost the Jets and then got whooped by the Browns. They got whooped by the Browns. Yeah, they did. So that is why I'm pausing right now to be like, don't fall into that trap again. But I don't know if it's a trap. I think they're just I think they took their licks

after they hit the, you know, that peak early on. And now they're back to being a very good team. I don't very good. I said very good. Now, what was our final ruling on that game against the Browns? Was that a was that a whooping or was there a clowning? I mean, they got whooped by the by the Brains. They got what 41 six. Yeah, they got whooped 41 16.

They got what 41 16 full on. But then they bounce back and they they whooped the Raiders. Yeah. And then this week they beat down. Yeah, they've come back from it. So so I just don't want to fall. I don't want to sit here. I'm actually doing the Bengals fans a favor. I don't want to say the Bengals are like a true contender

because then they'll probably get whooped again. I think in my mind right now, the Bengals are their ceiling is exactly as high as the Chargers and they're playing the Chargers next week. Whoever wins that game is going to take that place. We can talk about the Chargers. They look bad, but they still have something in them, I think. No, I don't think the Chargers are good.

What are you going to say, Billy? I'd say the Bengals undress the Steelers. Oh, that's usually big Ben's thing. I think he undressed them. Yeah, yeah. I think it's just all unraveled for the Steelers. They undress them. Quick rankings, the AFC North quarterbacks

are good friend Tom Frinelli asks us to do this. So let's do a forum for Tom. OK, now are we doing to build on for the future or this year? I think it's just right right this second. Jobarrow one, Jarvis Landry, two, Tyler Huntley, three, one and oh. Baker four, Lamar five. I don't know Mason Rudolph six. Do I have Lamar above Baker, Baker behind Lamar, Mason Rudolph,

Dwayne Haskins, Dwayne Haskins in front of Ben Case Keenum. That's a big Ben, big Ben. Yeah, big Ben. There it is. That sounds right. Yeah, that's fair. That's totally done. All right, next game, Falcons Jaguars. Uh, the Jaguars, Jackson Deville, he got caught. His bungee got caught.

You love Jackson Deville because this happens to him like five times a year and he doesn't care. He's like, I got to get back on that horse and try something crazy. Can you imagine a worse fate, though, dying as the Jaguars mascot before a game? No, no. Actually, yes, I can. Being the person who also dies because the Jaguars mascot fell on you. Yeah, that would be way worse.

It would just be such a sad, obituary to read like he was Jackson Deville. Yeah. And he died in a game that nobody watched. The Red Zone didn't even show this game. Not only that, but we should have seen it coming because he's flirted with it many, many times before. Yes, he comes very close to dying multiple times a year. I respect the hell out of him.

Like I'm just worried that it's going to end ugly. Can anyone in the Jaguars front office like stadium ops or whatever? Maybe watch the dark side of the ring, Owen Hart. Like, please just let us like, don't do this. OK, there's we've come a long way in technology here. Maybe he wants to die. Maybe, maybe we regret to inform you that your son passed away.

He bungee jumping off of a pool inside Everbank Stadium before a game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Atlanta Falcons. He could he could steal the the headline of the season. Now, it's still be Urban Meyer to go in knuckles deep. Probably, but he would be maybe two or three. They'd have to name the stadium or at least the field after him. Yeah, or maybe the upright that he drives his Segway into. All right, so this game, Falcons,

Quarter L Patterson, definitely the most important player for the Falcons. You saw that two games, last two games. They scored a total of three points. Then today he had two touchdowns. He played running back like pretty much the entire day. The Falcons all of a sudden had a running game. The Jaguars, I mean, they fought. They like they kind of fought.

I would actually say the nicest thing about the Jaguars is actually not about the Jaguars. It's about Urban Meyer, who's the coach of the Jaguars, but not about his time coaching the Jaguars. It's that Jim Harbaugh said the thing about Ryan Day. Some people are born on 3rd and thought they hit a triple. Basically saying that Urban Meyer built the entire Ohio State program. That's the best thing happened to Jaguars this weekend.

Yeah, Urban Meyer, you could tell the instant that he was informed. Like someone came up to him, whispered on the sideline, hey, USC just hired Lincoln Riley. And he did the thing. Hands on the knees, staring down at the ground again, where his balls should be dragging. He was pretty upset about that. I think and this is this is weird to think about.

But the Falcons have a pretty good chance at making the playoffs. These Falcons, you remember the Falcons that we saw last week? Yeah. Remember that team or the week before? Yeah, or the week before that, where they scored three points. They might make the playoffs. And I think I've decided to root. If I'm not going to be rooting for the Washington football team,

let's throw my own allegiances out. I'm rooting for the Falcons to make the playoffs this year, because I think they actually they might be the worst team in the history of the NFL to make the playoffs if they do make the playoffs. I'm looking at their schedule. So they can definitely have three. They have three more losses, though, guaranteed. They could beat the Saints.

They can beat the Panthers. They're not going to the 49ers. That's Dan Quinn moment right there going to San Francisco. They're going to kick field goals when they shouldn't. That's going to happen. And the Lions definitely not beating the Bills on January 2nd in Buffalo when the Bills also probably need that win. Yeah, give me like that's that is the most that might be the that

might be my game of the year on January 2nd. I'm rooting for the Falcons to make the playoffs. So I want it to happen so very badly. But they yeah, they're going to need they're going to need some help because I don't I don't see a world where the best they can the best they can finish eight nine in my opinion. If you're looking at the rest of the rest of the playoffs, I think there's going to be so there's so many teams.

The playoff picture is so muddled. One of these teams has to break out has to. Right. One of them has to. I don't know. Like someone's going to have to play good football down the stretch. Who's going to step up? If you know what's going to be, it's going to be the fucking Seahawks out of nowhere. Seahawks are going to just run the table after I just think I like swore them off. Yeah, Russell Wilson needs three more weeks of 25 hour a day.

Just straight up rehab and then they'll be good. I put down a note because we watched actually the entire fourth quarter of this game because I was worried that the Jaguars were going to come back in the Falcons. We're going to Falcon Trevor Lawrence didn't look so bad. I think you saw one play where he ran with a football and look competent and they're like, that's the system that Trevor Lawrence that counts. I don't think I don't think he looked very good today. Well, I said that's the same as he didn't look so bad.

He looked so bad. Yeah. Glass half full glass half empty guy. That's true. He didn't look he didn't look like a confirmed bust. Yeah, I also have a fun staff for you and then we can move on because this is another game we've talked about for far too long. The Jaguars are two and nine. They're two and nine. So Urban Meyer, seven seasons at Ohio State.

It actually was 10 years ago today that he was hired at Ohio State. Tattoo gate, seven seasons. Yes. Yes. You ever think back to that and you're like, what where were we as a society when Jim Trestle was fired after being like the best coach in the history of Ohio State, not named Woody Hayes because Terrell Pryor got free tattoos or how about the fact he resigned in in disgrace? He even said like this. I brought great shame. Yes.

To the state of Ohio because Terrell Pryor got a tattoo. Do you know what I think about more than that is the fact that Luke Fickle, who is like the hottest name in all coaching, was going to bring Cincinnati to a playoff, which is like improbable. He was the interim head coach in between. What's the name? Line. Jim. Oh, Trestle Trestle and Urban Meyer. Thank you. We're getting to that point in the night.

He was the he was the interim coach that gap year. He was the last coach to lose to Michigan. So but it's funny because it's like Luke Fickle. You think of right now, it's like that is a bona fide, incredible coach. Like he could name the job that he wants right now. He probably wants to say in Cincinnati, but he was that guy in 2011 who coached Ohio State, who lost lost to Michigan. You feel like Ryan Day got that job because he knew where all the bodies were buried

a little bit, maybe you want to keep your your, you know, enemies closer. Yeah. All right. So my stat, though. So I was hired 10 years ago today. He coached in Ohio State for seven seasons. The Jaguars are two and nine. Urban Meyer at Ohio State was 83 and nine. Today, he finally got as many losses in the NFL took nine games or sorry,

eleven games as he had at Ohio State in a seven year span. He went 83 and nine in seven years at Ohio State. He's two and nine at the Jaguars. You think when he took the job with the Jaguars, he everyone obviously had to tell him, Hey, listen, you're going to have way tougher times here than you had when you're coaching college football. It's not going to be as easy for you. You're going to have some losses that get piled up. Do you think in his wildest imagination, he would be at two and nine?

Or was he so delusional? Oh, he's delusional like year one. I mean, nine and two, he he's definitely was delusional. But I think he probably has reached a comfort now because when you go 83 and nine over seven years, like I can list the losses that Ohio State took. They were all big moments. Everyone talked about it. You know what I mean?

They lost Virginia Tech. They lost a Purdue like all these big, big losses that were like, Holy shit, how do Ohio State lose this game to a nine with the Jaguars? Like, oh, yeah, they lost the Falcons who cares? They suck. You know what I mean? Like it's got to be nice to just have it wash over you. Yeah. You think he's reached that point though? Yeah. Yeah.

Does it let the misery wash over you? Yeah. You don't think he spent an extra time at the facility this week? No, I don't think he's probably going to probably going to retire again after this year. Yeah. He's hoping that LSU hires Brian Kelly so that then he can go to Notre Dame. He's killing his head. He's so delusional that he's like, Notre Dame would hire me tomorrow. I honestly think he should go to Ohio State and be like, you know,

who'd never lost to Michigan, me. Go back. I'm the guy. Yeah. Ryan Day, see it, dude. The thing is, I think Ohio State might do it. Yes. And he never lost to Michigan. It was such a hilarious message to Michigan.

Yeah. Like you finally get over this hump and you're like, guess what? We're just going to bring back the guy that used to go to the grass. So we tolerate losing to you so little that we're going to go with the worst ethical decision we could possibly make because that's all we care about. I hope I actually hope that Urban Meyer goes to the Raiders. How awesome would that be? Urban and Vegas.

Rich Prisicchia, though, I saw a report. I think he's going to get the job because Mark Davis just doesn't want to do a search. That was they was literally like Mark Davis is in no rush to do a coach search. Mark Davis is just like us. He doesn't want to actually have to do interviews and talk to people. I also think Mark Davis is probably the owner who right now is most susceptible to the crying coach to get you to keep him on going into next. Like if Rich Prisicchia walks into the P.F.

Changs and sits down a nice candle at dinner and starts weeping before the bang bang shrimp comes out, Mark Davis is like, name your price. Yes, absolutely. Absolutely. All right, P.F.D. Dat Chat talks to me about it real quick. I love that chat. I use that chat all the time, actually.

But why why why are the Chargers deemed good? I think the Chargers are deemed good because their wide receivers are awesome. That's that's a lot of it. Their wide receivers and Austin Eckler are very good. And then Justin Herbert, when he plays well, yeah, you can see the offensive weapons being put together in a way that this team could beat almost any other team when everything is hitting. And also Brandon Staley.

I still like Brandon Staley. I do, too. But they're a good team, but they really do suck. Yeah, no, I pose the question as I was watching that Broncos Chargers game because all I ever hear is the Chargers are good. The Chargers are good. I'm not. This isn't you. I'm talking about like the national media says it.

Stu Finder says that he has the number one power rated team. You know, they're good. They're good. They're good. And then every time I watch them, I'm like, they're not really that good. They can't ever stop the run. Their offensive line has major issues. And Justin Herbert, who I like and I think is very good, has like big time bonehead plays, which he should because he's a young quarterback,

but I'm just not ready to call them good yet because, like, they had a really good start to the season. They wowed us on that game, that Monday Night Football game against the Raiders. They beat the Chiefs. Brandon Staley went viral like every two seconds for an awesome answer, which again, I like Brandon Staley. So I'm not saying that it was wrong that he went viral. He's he's a coach that I would love to have coaching the Bears.

But since then, they've lost like they they've been bad for a month and a half. And I keep watching them being like, are they going to be good? No, they're not. But then I turn on the TV on Monday. It's like the Chargers watch out for the Chargers. I think that they still have it in them. They're I don't I don't. So the big difference I think is that their offensive line has played really badly for the last few weeks.

Really, really poorly. Yes. Before that, when they were mulling people, they were a pretty good team. They lost it. And honestly, like it goes back to me. Looking at their wide receivers and being like Keenan Allen is great. Mike Williams, when he's catching the ball, when they're throwing it to him, he's a big dude that can get a lot of targets in the red zone, red area, excuse me. And also the fact that I have a future on them to win that division. Got it. OK. That weighs in heavily.

Yes, my personal power rankings of the San Diego Chargers. Because like right now, if you're talking right this second, I don't I think they're the worst team in the AFC West. If you look if you want to be objective about it. Yeah, I don't like being objective about things. But yes, you're right. I mean, they got their ass kicked today. And they got those. And I think a lot of people thought they were the worst team in that division.

Right. And they've and and their two wins in the last month and a half has been against the Eagles. And it was a close win, which, you know, I mean, it was a win. But it was a close win. And then the Steelers who are a disaster at this point. So, you know, they've they've gone up against the Broncos, the Patriots, the Ravens and the Vikings lost all four of those. So they're two and four in the last six.

I just I'm again, I'm not saying the Chargers aren't building something because they clearly are. They have a good coach. They have a really good quarterback. But as it currently stands, every time I watch them, I'm like, this team's not that good. They always see, you know what it seems like? It seems like the Chargers are always just like

they're desperately trying to make a big play. That's just not there. Like it feels like every time you turn on a Chargers game, they're down a score and Justin Herbert's running for his life and trying to throw it downfield to they're always in like a third and nine situation and he's like throwing it to a guy who's triple teamed. And sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. And recently it has not been working.

I think that they're going to end up with nine or ten wins, which that's going to have them like borderline making the playoffs. Yeah, they could make the playoffs, but I still I will bet against them in the first round. Like I just don't think there's nothing about them. Like right now, I think the Colts are way better than the Chargers. As a football, you know who you need on the Chargers. They don't have like a loose cannon.

They don't have anybody that's just like kind of crazy. And I'm not even talking about like a good player that's kind of just someone who's like a little bit of a wild card. There's zero wild cards on that team. Yeah, they're they're they have good. They have a good young base that's just not playing good football right now. And I think there's parts partially to like their logo is always cool. Like if we really want to break it down in like the science behind

why we still think the Chargers might be good is I definitely think their colors play into it. I know that sounds very stupid on the powder blue. You want the powder blues to be good. You don't want to associate the powder blues with all the shitty times. You don't want to think about the season where they were first on offense and defense and their special teams suck so bad that they didn't even make the playoff. Right. And they're they're like big moments are, like I said,

the Monday football game beating the Chiefs. That Browns game that was so much fun. Like if you play in three or four games that are memorable and you win those games because then they've lost games. You're like, oh, I forgot they even got killed by the Ravens because it happened at one o'clock and it was they were never in that game that I just completely forgot it happened. But either way, that I remind me not to bet on the Chargers.

I'm just not going to bet on the Chargers anymore. I have to stop betting on the Chargers because even the next two games are against two teams that I could convince myself the Chargers are better than and they're not the Bengals and the Giants. Like I'm going to tell myself the Chargers are better than them. And then I'm going to go into the game and have bet the Chargers and be like, what the fuck was I doing? I'm considering betting on them next week because that's the formula.

That's the formula. Bengals are awesome right now. How to do this week. Are there weren't that many, right? I don't. I don't know. I'll have to run the numbers on that. OK, deep numbers.

Um, the the Broncos drew lock. That was awesome. We got to remind ourselves that drew lock sucks. It's perfect. He got in the game fumbled immediately. Fumbled immediately drew a pick. Drew lock with fumbles is like Josh Rosen with interceptions. It's so, so satisfying when they get in and it immediately happens.

It was it was so great, too, because then Teddy Bridgewater, who I think was injured, came back in as like an injured Teddy Bridgewater is better than what you lock is doing right now. Way better. But it was kind of a reminder like, oh, drew locks out there. And we had the debate when it was happening. Like, say what you want about true lock. He's at least fun bad.

Yeah. Like he he he's he's excitingly bad. I don't I don't like the idea of drew lock as a backup, though. Or I would like him as a backup, but I don't think that other teams would sign to lock to be the guy as the backup. Yeah, because he makes mistakes because he gets in and he's either going to play so well in like a two game span that if your real starters just average at the time, people are going to want drew lock to be the starter.

And then he's going to get back to bad drew luck and fuck it all up. Right, exactly. So yeah, I was good to see him, though. Good to see that he's doing he's out there doing the same drew lock things. Yeah, yeah. I don't think you're going to change drew lock. No, you're not. Drew is just drew.

Yes. And then the only other note I had from this game. I it's going to keep fucking me up probably for his entire career. But Patrick Sertan, the second he's playing way too close to his father playing. And so like every time I see he had two picks today, he was awesome and he's been awesome. But every time I see his name, I'm like, oh, yeah, Patrick Sertan. He's like a wily vet they have in their in their secondary and he's a rookie. But because his dad last played in 2008, I'm like, well, no, no, that guy.

He's there's two. You need more gap. I needed more gap in that time. Well, who do you think has the best defensive back family talking father, son, duo, him or a Sante Samuel and a Sante Samuel Junior? That's another one where it's like, I hate seeing a Sante Samuel Junior out there. I need like 20 years for because like Patrick Sertan is the second is very, very good. Are we ever going to get a dad that plays with his son? I mean, Tom Brady.

How are the brawn? Yeah, LeBron. What do you mean, plays with his son? Oh, brawn. Yeah. Brawn is going to LeBron is definitely waiting to play with Brawny. Brawny, like he absolutely is. Yeah, I mean, it's it's too bad that it happened so long ago, but the Ken Griffey, Ken Griffey Junior thing is very, very cool.

That was I think they hold it in the same meaning. He was really the only sport that you can expect that to ever happen. No, LeBron's going to do it. I don't know. No, is he going to force the Lakers to draft Brawn? He's said that he's like, I'm pretty sure he's just going to keep playing until Brawny's playing. Frank Gore, Junior is on Southern Miss. Oh, yeah, Frank Gore said in the interview last week. He's not retired yet.

That's true. I never know. We also saw in this game the first example of what, unfortunately, I think will be many of a running back trying to jump over defender, getting clipped in their knee and then doing a 360 spin and land on the ground. Because as more and more players start to do the hurdle and if if you've only been watching football for the last, I'd say 12 or 13 years, you think it's pretty common for somebody to hurdle over someone. We used to get like one of those a year.

Yes. And it'd be like, Holy shit, look what this guy was able to do. That's unbelievable. Now defensive backs are starting to adjust their pad level going into those tackles. So they're hitting a little bit higher, but running back still haven't adjusted theirs back down. Right. And so you're going to see somebody get absolutely wrecked this year. I hope I hope no injuries, but it looked like there was it was close to a guy like breaking his neck in this game.

Well, that's that's a good segue, because in the 49ers Vikings game, our guy, Kyle Juszczak, Juszczak, Juszczak, what's his name? Kyle Juszczak. Juszczak. Kyle Juszczak. Juszczak. Juszczak. So none of us had it. Juszczak, he hurled from like the five yard line. It was awesome.

He thought that he was going to go six yards into the end zone over five guys. Yeah, it was so sick. I love it. It was so awesome. He was like, fuck it, I'm sending it. But this game land on top of them and then kind of roll off. Yeah, never be down. Yeah. This game was the 49ers have their groove back. They have fully found their groove.

Like Kyle Shanahan being basically saying Debo Samuels now are running back and I'm going to run him and no one's going to be able to stop us. Is awesome. And I love it. And this was also the perfect Kirk Cousins game. Yeah, it was because he was playing really well in the first half. Yep. And then I see the smirk on Big Cat's face. And I feel the same way. Yeah, yeah. We try to warn you every week.

We get a week out on the show. We don't just hate Kirk Cousins because it's fun to hate Kirk Cousins, which it is. But we also do it as a service because we've seen enough of Kirk Cousins to know exactly what he is. And that's a very good quarterback that gets paid like he's a great quarterback and will hamstring your franchise for the foreseeable future. And then always let you down in big moments. That's just what he is and and and Vikings fans, Kirk Cousins fans

will respond with you would kill for Kirk Cousins on the Bears or you'd kill for Kirk Cousins on the Washington football team. Not at that price. No, I absolutely. Yeah, I had Kirk Cousins for cheaper for like an endless supply of franchise tags that we put on him. Yeah. And I know exactly what he is. And I guess I'm just speaking from experience. I don't want I don't want another franchise to go through what I went through.

I think deep down Vikings fans know this. I think most of them do. But you never want to admit that in the moment, right? Because he's he has been playing well this year. His numbers look good. But then you get into a game where he needs to make some big throws. And the 49ers basically sold out on stopping the run. And then you have you have Kirk Cousins who has to win you a game.

You're going to have Kirk Cousins throwing for like 250 yards in the first half. Two touchdowns lighting the world on fire. Then you get down by three points and Kirk Cousins lines up underneath the right guard instead of underneath the center, which I thought was a trick play at the moment in the moment. It looked like it would have been a trick play. I imagine if you're that right guard, though. And you just like get down to your three points and all of a sudden

there's some guy grabbing your asshole. You're like, wait, what? It's Kirk. It that that was an all time. Hey, Kirk, maybe settle down here, buddy. Yeah, he gets he gets too excited sometimes at the ends of half. Yeah, he just gets he gets all worked up and he wants to make something happen. Credit to Kirk.

He's he's become like a fiery guy, which is something that you never would have said about him the first couple of years that he was playing. But he's become an emotional guy. But sometimes he just he gets too emotional. Yeah. And he doesn't think clearly. It was perfect because Hank live bet the Vikings when they were down, which was a good bet because they did kind of come back and they had the ball twice down for Hank.

Yeah. But he said out loud. He's like, it doesn't feel good having to root for Kirk Cousins to to have a touchdown drive here. And you just knew it like there was it just wasn't going to happen. But he's you know what? And he's going to be what I actually looked at the schedule before when I was taking notes, I was like, let me make sure that the Bears aren't playing the Vikings next week so that I don't get totally shit on, which will happen.

Like the Vikings will beat the Bears and Kirk Cousins will probably look OK. Although we've kind of we've played them pretty tough and made him look like short Kirk Cousins, because when he's playing bad, he looks short because he like turtles in the pocket and gets sacked by Kirk Cousins. Is the best player in the NFL to get sacked by the entire offensive and defensive line at the same time, like everyone just implodes on top of him. But it's it's a couple of weeks away. So I can at least say this now without having to get the repercussions immediately.

It's just Kirk Cousins is Kirk Cousins. And I you can look at the stat sheet and be like, this is awesome. But then you watch the game and you're like, maybe not. I just saw the replay of him lining up underneath the guard and Alexander Madison has to run up to him and like tap him. I should be like, hey, Kirk, that's the wrong ass. Wrong. Yeah. Yeah. You're in the wrong fucking hole, dude. Call time out, Kirk.

It was it was an ugly end of the game. But I say something nice about Kirk Cousins. I would rather have Kirk Cousins for his price tag than have Jimmy G. For his price tag. Yeah. And those are like the two quarterbacks that they're always going to be compared because they're both tremendously overpaid. I you're actually that's a really good point because I completely agree. Like the 49ers have got their swag back.

They run the ball, they run the ball, they run the ball. They basically say, you're not going to stop it and most teams can't. But then every now and then, Jimmy G has to make a throw and you're like, oh, yeah. Well, the thing about Kirk Cousins is he can make the throws. Right. He can he can make a tough throw. He won't make a game changing throw where he has to go put his nuts on the line and throw in between three guys and make a play that isn't there. That's not what Kirk Cousins does.

Oh, what about the Minnesota Miracle? Oh, yeah. The Minnesota Miracle. That was Case Keenum. Yep. Oh, yeah, you're right. Yeah, because I had that pop to my head and I was like, wait, he did make. Oh, no, that was Case Keenum, because Case Keenum is a guy who's willing to try to make that throw. He'll make those weird throws. And well, Kirk Cousins also had a good game with I think Kyle Rudolph had that.

That they wanted to play off game in the Superdome. Yeah, which that counts. Absolutely. That absolutely counts. But Kirk Cousins, he'll make a pretty difficult throw. If it's there, Jimmy Grappolo very frequently will try to make like a medium difficult throw and just airmail it by seven yards. Yes. And again, it's I think people get a little confused when we talk about Kirk Cousins. Actually, most people I think understand it. There's a they're just weird, like Kirk Cousins stands out there.

If you had Kirk Cousins at a discount, it would be actually a good, good idea. Like if you could build everything. Kirk Cousins, if everything's good around him, he can he can he can win playoff games. But Kirk Cousins at his current price, you're not going to like it's just not going to happen. Yeah, I mean, Kirk Cousins winning a playoff game in the Superdome on the Vikings was mind you on the Vikings on the Vikings. And then Kirk Cousins also taking the football team, the Redskins, to the playoffs back when they had Jay Gruden as their head coach.

Like that's those are two very difficult things to accomplish. So Kirk's not a bad quarterback, but he's just good enough that he'll drive you insane. Yes. The Niners, though, they are the team. I would say right now in the NFC, like if you're if you're discounting the top three teams, you know, the Cowboys, the the Bucks, I'm not. We'll get to the Rams in a second. I'm not putting them there anymore at the Packers. I think the Niners in like that next grouping is the team you don't want to play.

You know, yeah, they found something. You know who the Niners are for me right now? I would yes, classify them as a team that you don't want to play. They're my don't look now team. Yeah, don't look now. But the 49ers are starting to play real football. Debo Samuel and they here's a fun stat. They had the the ball. This is for all you stat nerds out there, you analytics guys

because this is going to hurt them. The 49ers had the ball for 37 minutes. Teams that have had the ball for 37 minutes, not counting overtime. So 37 minutes or more this season, the NFL 22 and 0. Wow. Yeah. So so I guess that doesn't mean a lot then. No, it means a lot. It means everything. Just hold the ball for 37 minutes and you'll guarantee to win.

The other guy can't score and you've got the ball. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Army's offense. Army would be in the NFL. Just when they zag. Yes. Run the ball, run the ball, run the ball. Robbie Gold made a field goal off the upright today. Yeah, he did. That was kind of cool. It was. Bears kickers could do that.

It was it was very cool. But yeah, the 49ers and the Vikings are still in the playoffs, which is crazy because the seventh seed is just screws everything up. All right, let's get to our last game before we do that. PFT, you have one last ad and then we will get to football guy the week and wrap it up with who's back the week.

They're not good. They're bad. Well, Stafford's hurt. I think we predicted that last week. Yes. On part of my take. I think after the Sunday Rams game, we said it feels like somebody's going to leak something saying that Matthew Stafford has been playing injured. Well, yes, it came out today that he's got like, well, the report was a back. His back is sore.

So that's number one. OK, he's got sore back. Hank blown out back. Blowing out back for Stafford. He's got and then his arm hurts too. But there was no specific mention of actually having some sort of structural damage. It was just like his back out of socks now and his arm feels weird. Yeah, this was Jared that was doing this in these games.

He'd be getting cooked. Yeah, agreed. Agreed. It's not fair. It's not fair. I don't know. Jared's not making excuses. No, no, no. And everyone likes to throw out that little stat. How about how Jared Goff hasn't won a game without Sean McFay? How about this little stat?

And I'm a guy who says that Matt Stafford is going to end up being a hallfamer because his numbers are going to be insane and he's played his entire career without any major, major injuries. Matt Stafford is eight and sixty seven against teams that finished the season above five hundred. He also played the Lions for a while. He did play for the lines. It's always important to note because I saw

a similar stat that said he'd never won a game against a team that was five games above five hundred in his entire career, which is true. But also he was on the Lions. He was on the Lions, but the Lions didn't go to the playoffs. I think twice with him. He's eight and sixty seven all time when playing against a team that finished above five hundred.

And now he's on the Rams. So OK, you're right. That's a good counterpoint, Lions. If you're just going to assume their wins and losses this year. So they beat the box in the Colts. I'm going to assume the box in the Colts are going to be above five hundred. They've lost the Cardinals, the Titans, the Niners and Packers. You're all going to be above five hundred.

So that's two and four now against teams that are going to be above five hundred. That brings it to ten and seventy one in his career against teams that finish above five hundred. So what we're saying is the Rams need to free O'Dell. They need to free O'Dell again. O'Dell Beckham can't be playing with a quarterback like that. They can't get it done. He should have just stayed in Green Bay.

He needs to be a winner. Yeah, this was like a weird O'Dell Beckham revenge game kind of playing against the Packers who didn't want to pay O'Dell Beckham like fifty million dollars guaranteed to play for him. Yeah. So he did get his first touchdown for the Rams. It was a nice touch show. And it was also after he changed his cleats when he went out there in the first half wearing his Browns cleats and he leads the league.

I'm certain of it in falling down on passes right before they're thrown towards him. Correct. He just does it all the time, but he did change his cleats. I think at halftime he switched out of the Browns cleats. I don't know what the rules on that are if you're allowed to wear those cleats because they've been grandfathered in because you wore them earlier this year. But Roger Goodell probably had a stroke. He's like, wait, that's not one of the official colors of the St. Louis Rams. Yes. So he changed him at halftime, went out and caught that bomb in the second half,

which was kind of it's kind of cool to see O'Dell just in a different uniform, making cool catches. Yeah, I think he should play for a different team every week. He's allowed to just rotate around. I'm in for the play for whatever team he feels like suits his mood at that moment. Yeah, I'm in for that. All of that. But yeah, the Rams, the Rams are I'm thinking about using the F word. Oh, they are. They're frauds.

No, yeah, yeah, because they don't when they play, they won the week three Super Bowl against the Bucks and then every team that they've played that's good since then they've lost. Like that's just a fact. You look at it and it's a fact. They have not played against a good team. Their last four games against teams that are probably going to the playoffs or at least finishing above 500 they have lost to.

And they've looked really bad in a few of those, like really bad. They look really bad in that Titans game. I I also like Sean McVeigh. It's not all on Stafford. Sean McVeigh. Genius, boy genius, very, very good coach. It's getting kind of weird to call Sean McVeigh still a boy. He's 35. Does that stick around? Yeah, no, he's boy genius.

Still boy genius, boy genius. Sean McVeigh, boy genius can remember every play that he's ever called. Do you think he'll remember that he ran the ball third and one with 50 seconds left in no timeouts down to scores? That was weird. Do you think you'll remember that one? He's thinking about that's all he's thinking about right now. I was just replaying that in his head over and over again,

because that hurts when you're boy genius and like that. We're not better than coaches. We're not going to say that we're better than coaches. We can pretend we are, but there's many times where it's like, oh, they should do this and they do the opposite. And then it's right. That's the situation where everyone in America was better than Sean McVeigh. I think I'm better than David Cully.

I don't know, man. He's got some culture going. I think I'm better. Could you have beaten the Texan or the Titans? Could I have beaten the Tite? Mike Vrable would have intimidated me too much. Yeah, probably not. Yeah, probably.

So you're right. David Cully is slightly better than me at coaching. Yeah, but in this instance, I think everybody knew that what they were doing was dumb. It was crazy. Maybe there was a miscommunication. Maybe Matt Stafford's back was having an ouch moment. Yeah. He's like, I can't pass.

I got to hand it off. He's in traction. But they had to, yeah, they just, they kicked out. That almost counts as a sad field goal. Yeah. And it's not the traditional sad field goal of you're losing 35 to three and you kick it so you lose 35 to six, but you gave up in that instance. That was like you wait, literally waving a white flag at that point.

It was crazy. Yeah, we're not going to win this game. The other thing was Sean McVeigh. And listen, we could talk about the Packers. The Packers are fucking good. I think the Packers are probably, and it hurts me to say this very, very much, but they are the only team in the NFC. Well, maybe the Cardinals, the Packers and the Cardinals are the two teams,

the NFC that I would say I really trust right now, right? Mason Crosby looks like he's got it all figured out now. Yeah. I mean, Mason Crosby hitting like a 50 yarder. If you could bet on the sportsbook that he'll then miss a kick later on in the game, it's like almost a guaranteed. Even when he makes kicks, he's like, he's relieved that it went in. He's like, fuck, I almost missed that one.

He's not a good mental headspace right now. And I think I heard one of the announcers say today that he doesn't, he actually doesn't trust the unit that's around him. He doesn't like the snapper. I think we were putting most of the blame on Bajorquez, Bajorquez. We'll never learn how to say that name correctly. Youssec, youssec, youssec. Also, Crossbar messed up the score call me.

If you made it, that would have been my possession of the kick off. Jake, I'm so sorry for your loss. That's tough. There's bigger things in life. Yeah, I don't know. Like your Bracketology, that's terrible. That's not how it works. That's console on the Maui.

All right, we'll get to that later. Randall Cobb is he's always been a very confusing player to me because he seems to be incredibly fast when he's within five yards of the line of scrimmage and then he just can't run once he gets open downfield. He had opened a couple of times downfield today and Aaron Rodgers threw the ball to him. Yeah. And he's he's looking like he did five years ago. Yeah, they I mean, it was that was actually like a key to the pack.

Like Jalen Ramsey was on Devonte Adams did a pretty good job when he was on Devonte Adams. But then it's like, oh, yeah, we still have Randall Cobb. I was thinking about this. And this is this is when we the show goes off the rails. His name is Randall. That's weird. Yeah, Randall. That's very weird. He's he could be Randy.

Yeah, Randy. And he's Randall. Randall. Yeah. It's just like we just accepted that. Rand Randy. Randall. Randy would be cool. Randy Cobb. If your name is Randy, are you always a Randall? I think so. I think you were born a Randy.

I think some people are born Randy. Yeah, because Randall's weird. I think you come out of that vagina in a Camaro. You're like, yeah, this baby's Randy. Yeah, Randy. It's Randy here. All right. So my last point about Sean McVeigh, what I was going to say, Sean McVeigh. First four years, he was first in play action this year.

He's 23rd in play action. Is it maybe Sean McVeigh has fallen too much in love with Matthew Stafford? And that's how it's all falling. That's what it looks like to me. Like that's where I stand. It either that or Matthew Stafford is too much of a diva to want to run play actually like Big Ben has become towards

his end of his career. Jerry Goff was a team guy. Jerry Goff was like, you know, whatever it takes, I don't care. You know, I'd be happy to win the Super Bowl 13 to 10 if we could. And that's what he asked his team to do. And, you know, they came up just a little bit short of that goal. It's a good point. But Jerry Goff doesn't care about his personal stats at the end of the day.

It seems to me like Matt Stafford might be thinking about that. It's in Coward's going to do some kind of analogy tomorrow where it's like, you know, you're on your fourth wife and you're you're 69 and your doggy style and sometimes it's good to have missionary, you know. Yeah. Like it's sometimes it's just good to just fuck laying down on top of your wife. Sometimes you don't want to get up. Sometimes you just want to be on bottom.

Yeah. And you want to let her ride you. Yeah. And that's what Jerry Goff was good at. Matt, they're 69ing. Matt Stafford, it's your it's every night's your anniversary when you're Matt Stafford and she's like, honey, I just like to give you head. And he's like, how about I pile drive you? Yeah, right. Exactly. This is all we read all off season was, oh, can you believe what

McVay is going to do with Matt Stafford now in his offense? Maybe just run your old offense because it worked pretty well. Yep. I don't know. All right. I hope I hope McVay listens to this part of the podcast. Yeah. Yeah. What's up? I think you probably will. Your beard's looking pretty good. It actually does credit where it's due. Yeah. His beard looks better now.

Yeah. Because he spends so much time on it. Probably football guy of the week. Let's do it. Football guy of the week. We got a great crop of guys this week. But first congratulations. I like how he refers to the football guys like they're like a bunch of soybeans that he's been farming out of for recruits. We got a great crop.

A great crop. Yeah. We've been attending to them. To week 11's winner, Jamal Labs. Billy's like a high schooler who's deciding to grow weed in his closet. He's like, I got a little football guys in there. The hydroponics are starting to kick in. Yeah. Mom and dad are like, why is the electric bill going so great? Well, I got some football guys I'm working on.

Congratulations to Jamal Williams for dressing up to announce that he is back from injury. And now for our week 12 nominees. Number one, we talked about before Vita Vaya, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Nose Tackle, Lost The Tooth, even more almost football guyish was his head coach commenting on how he has 30 other ones. Yup. So great story out of there. Can you look up how to pronounce his full name again? Yeah, this is Jake Superbowl.

Number two, Luke Fickle, head coach of the University of Cincinnati, who after beating Eastern Carolina University, started doing pull-ups on the Rafters to celebrate with his team, something that he also did back in 2019. And that's just the photo is gives it way more merits, what I'm saying. But the guys just repping out pull-ups for his whole team. Kind of like you had to be there a moment. I like it.

Number three is Daniel Carlson, the kicker for the Raiders, who on Monday had food poisoning and said that he would told his coaches that he would wear adult diapers if need be to play through the food poisoning. Wow. So, you know, you see that all the time. Yup. And in that game on Thursday, he went five or five on field goals with a huge game winner in overtime. So we don't know if he was wearing diapers during that game, but it didn't affect his performance. OK. All right.

And now, number four, Damien Pierce, running back for the University of Florida. Now, if you guys saw this, my words won't do this justice. His helmet popped off in the middle of a play, got ripped off, and he ended up trucking three dudes into the end zone with his helmet off. He ended up getting called for playing with your helmet off, which I think is a football guy move. I think they need to change the rules, figure out some way to not incentivize players to play without their helmets.

But, you know, it's pretty sick when a guy's just helmet off. It should be a look the other way. You can't be like ten yard penalty for looking too cool. Yes. What happens is he gets a penalty for playing without a helmet and then the defense gets a penalty for keeping to play while the opponent doesn't have a helmet so it cancels out, but still got like reward that you're supposed to do at that point. If you're if you have the ball, your helmet gets knocked off.

Do you just like stop and take a knee? Do you just yell time out like you're like you're playing football in the backyard? I don't know. Yeah. What do you do? You're in kind of a weird scenario there. You should never penalize a player for playing football. That's how it's football. Yeah. Damien Pierce commented on his helmetless run. My mom had been calling me hardheaded since I was little.

And that was love his comments on the situation. Now, for our bonus old school football guy of the week, this was not from a long time ago, but an old football guy. OK, not withstanding. There was an obituary for a 76 year old Pittsburgh area man who said that he passed away after a long bout with the Steelers. Yeah. So I didn't we say that on Wednesday over that? The Nebraska fan were like because he was like better, irresponsible amount.

The guy that says that I wanted them to let me down one last time. Yeah. The years. But I didn't put that in last week's because the irresponsible amount were responsible around. Yeah, no, I know. But still, I did in a responsible amount. Responsibly, we did like specifically say we're over this. I know. But he died during overtime. OK, that's that counts.

That's a lie. Yeah, I guess the lies. He died in overtime. OK, I like that. Yeah, so it was that was the only reason he was watching the game on that one. Yeah, yeah, I was going to mention that. But he died watching the game. He died from a tie. Yes. Also, we had a football guy.

The there was a tweet that I saw. Jim Harbaugh got a text from John Madden after yesterday's game. And John Madden said to him, that's as good as an offensive line performance as he's seen. That has to be like football guy heaven right there. Yeah, I that's when you would die. Yeah, not not in the overtime period of a Steelers Lions game. But when John Madden tells you that your offensive line was forged in his image.

Yes. It's like, OK, I've done incredible. I've done it all. Incredible. All right. Good job, Billy. Perfect. Yeah, vote for it. To Vita, to Lyacchiano, to Leapolotu, but hey, it's how they let's fucking go. OK, way to go, Jake. All right, let's finish up.

Thank you. I have a bunch of that's all right. Oh, please go go off, King. Where'd you like me to start at the top? Yeah, at the middle, in the middle, do it in the middle. How many do you have? I have three. OK, so do two. Do the second one first. I can't do all three.

No, no, you do all three, but do the second one first. All right, Brooks Kepka, Blake Kepka, won the match. Beat the shit. Oh, he wasn't first. No, he's in the middle. OK. I have two. Yeah, OK. Actually, he's probably third. But he's kind of related to the other one. OK. He won the match. You motherfucker. You won the match, motherfucker.

That game didn't count. No one watched it. Beat the shit. That's Friday night, fucking 11 o'clock. I watched it. That game didn't win the busiest bar nights of the year. I watched it. That game did not count. I was absolutely mangled. Woke up the next morning. You were on the West Coast. That doesn't count. That's true. I was on the West Coast, and it was in.

I was in Seattle, so everyone was watching Gonzaga. Yeah, they're basically the MLB, which is scheduling the dumbest things. They're best games at 10 30 on a Friday night after Thanksgiving. And like schedule Gonzaga Duke Monday at six o'clock in front of Monday night football. Everyone would watch. I loved. I love this new team. They're so fucking good. God, no, they're really. You know what you're doing. I'm happy what PFT is doing.

I hate you. Yeah, I mean, big guy, you've watched them, right? You know, they're incredible. Like they're incredible. Basically, the fab five. They're incredible. If they don't win at all, it's a huge disappointment. No, I actually think that this. I'll put a future on them. It might be just strictly from a talent perspective. And obviously it's a long season, so I don't want to get ahead of myself.

But talent wise, not talking about, you know, coaching and things like that. Talent wise, they might be the best NCAA basketball team that I've seen in the last 30 years. Although Ben Chereau, clear alcohol addiction. He just gets cramps all the time. And he also gets caught in the in the car with Coach K's grandson. What are you laughing about, Jake? Clear alcohol. I mean, look, he.

All right, so let's just get the facts. Big head. He got caught in a car, a betting DUI, and then he gets cramps every other game because he can't have vodka. Well, it was it was his car that that he gave the keys to Coach K's grandson. Yeah, I have to wonder if he was actually the one driving and Coach K's grandson is called almost like a reverse DD for a lot of the players on team, where it's like if you're going to be drinking and driving, have Coach K's grandson sitting shotgun

because he'll switch seats with you real quick. Yes. And he's the designated drunk driver. Right. That will take all the fall for it. Yes. I'm just wondering if that's the case. I don't I have no information to tell me that it is. But we'll do a fact finding mission. It seems highly likely. We're going to say, Billy, you think that's the case?

You can't do a motion and then not speak. I may have a scoop. Oh, you have a scoop? I think Billy probably got it. I got a DM from the same person. I got an alert, alert, alert. There's a reply guy scoop. Anything that Billy says right now cannot legally be held accountable for us.

But we do take it as fact, especially if it's anti-duke. So I saw in the replies to reply. What is the grants on doing in the car? And that was one of the replies that he's actually a fall guy. OK. Yeah, exactly. I think it's perfect. I think it's all right. I always know when Billy's when Billy's about to drop some hot sourcing on us. If it's a DM that I saw like four days ago and ignored,

Billy's like, he's all over that. I like it. I love it. Keep up the good work, Billy. You you bring the internet to me. I look at the bad stuff. Yeah, I know. So I don't have to. Yes. No, I agree. I've said it. You you get in the gutters. You know what Billy does?

He does the bird box meme where he's the guy opening our eyes to the ugly truth. No, it's it's fucking great. Billy serves a purpose of he's going to go and get in the fucking. He's going to get in the corners and throw some elbows and come out with some wild fucking ideas of some guy with zero followers and no avatar tweeted. You don't know what I've seen. All right. Hey, Hank. What's your story?

Did you guys see this ESPN graphic of the game? They just did bank arrow dirty. There's no. Well, no, that's I mean, he's got alcohol addiction. So it should be redder. You couldn't actually did him a favor. He couldn't believe it. But he couldn't believe it. It took the ugliest picture of it.

What time do you treat that before the game? Oh, OK. On game day. Paulo Bencaro perverted or Italian. We don't know what he was doing in that car. I just hope he I hope he gets help for his issues. But knowing coach K. He will make sure that he doesn't get help. And we just keep writing him.

Probably enable him. Right. Me and my fellow Duke alums get a lot of heat for not being like fun party people. And we finally have a party guy and you put him down. It's like, you can't win with you. No, no, I'm fine. I don't want to be in theory in theory to remove the school aspect of it. Five star recruit best player in the country. You don't want to have a little fun.

You want to be a squid. No, he should be at school to do school. Right. Right. I think if he has underage. Yeah, if you had a strong leadership presence in his life, he would know better than to go out and do that sort of thing. I don't blame him whatsoever. Is it underage if your home country is legal? Yes, that would be like a lot of questions.

Can you do can you do heroin in America? Because in Holland, you can. You actually can't do heroin in Holland. What's what else can you do? You drug guy. You can eat a space cake. OK. Spain, it's decriminalized. There we go. Portugal.

I have an idea. OK. What if you sent me and Hank down to Duke to investigate? Like we like our eye to go to like shooters, like all those little bars there and just like make sure nothing. That's how I like it. Yeah. Investigate. Yeah. Yeah. Or the UI team. Yeah, I've been down to Chapel Hill, which is more, more fun part of Duke. Yeah, I was going to say, Billy, I don't want you to do this.

Billy, you're going to go to Duke and be like, this school is sick when you don't have any actual basis. Like like Hank said, Chapel Hill is fucking awesome. But we got a great time. We got to make sure. Right. But you're going to come back and be like, dude, they have bars. It was awesome there. I didn't have any bars.

I know that's what I'm saying. And then you're going to be distorted and you're going to be like Duke is a sick school. I might become a Duke fan. Anyway, so we got sidetracked. Coach K and Blake were together after the Duke game. Broke my heart. Brooks was just showing Coach K a lot of love.

Coach K was showing Brooks a lot of love. Made my heart grow like five inches or whatever that day. However they broke, however they say it. And then my third who's back, which is really my first who's back top of the list, is you guys as musicians. Oh, part of my take, our song with Benny the Butcher at the bank is coming out today, Monday.

If you're listening to this after Monday, it's on our YouTube channel. We're doing a live stream telethon for the Cyber Monday entire barcel sports thing, which we'll all be on. And it's going to premiere at the end of that telethon. I'll say this drink, paint and chunk where we're child's play. Yeah, I think this is the best song that we've ever done. Go ahead. Best song and best music video. Best. I mean, Benny the Butcher is a real sick, crazy,

talented music artist blown up. We'll have him on the show at some point. And it's the best music video. Yes. Yes. It was awesome. Awesome, awesome, awesome. Check it out. PFT, your who's back. Who's back saying? Yeah, very good. Thanks. My my first who's back of the week.

I have three. Is that all right? Yep. First one is that do one. OK, first one is eggnog. It's who's back. OK. Eggnog is back. It's not a season, bitch. Do you keep it cold inside or outside? I do both. Nice. I I swing always when it comes.

I can drink it hot. I can drink it cold on ice. I'll drink it with a straw. Drink it off a table if it spills. I love eggnog. Eggnog is a great drink. And anyone that says it's not just has the palette of a six year old. OK. That's a fact.

Hank, do you like eggnog? Nope. There we go. There we go. There we go. It's like it's kind of it's the same. That's one of the same thing as Bloody Mary, like one or two a year, maybe, but nah. But those ones, those one or two a year are fantastic. Yes, like eggnog, bloody marities.

It's Christmas candy corn. Yes, it's booze soup. Those are the things that you can have like in sparingly. You can't if I if I had you eggnog at any other time the year besides like Christmas season. I would be like, yeah, OK, but it's normal people would not. Yeah, but I would. I love eggnog. I love that it's back on shelves.

I would drink it in the summertime if it was still around. I just would. I mean, it tastes like a white Russian over ice. Love love a good nag. Also, who's back is the ESPN Playoff Machine? I've just been using it all afternoon today. It's officially back. And if the football team wins tonight,

Monday Night Football, they're in the seventh seed right now. There you go. In the playoffs. Huge. I'm addicted to the ESPN Playoff Machine. Huge. All right. My who's back. We said we're going to talk a little college football. We'll save it for Wednesday because we're running long. But Michigan is back.

That was an incredible performance beating Ohio State. They bullied the fuck out of them. We're happy for Jim Harbaugh. We're going to have him back on the show. I have to share, though. I so I texted him after I didn't expect him to respond. I was just like, congratulations. That was awesome.

And in very coach Harbaugh fashion, he said, thanks, pal. Great to get a text from you. Channeling Bo and Woody felt like being in the 70s watching as a kid. And then he wrote, this is my favorite part. We have us a ball team. Nothing like being on a true ball team. I love that.

It's like they're like, I love that. It's like Billy Adam, the football guy of the week. Yeah, like it's not like the win. It's like we're like the guys in this locker room. You can just feel that text. You're like, oh, my God, I would like want to be a part of that. Like he's just being like, we got a fucking ball team.

I bet you Harbaugh didn't even sleep after this one. I bet you he went directly to his whiteboard and just, you know how he has all those motivational quotes that he takes from everybody. I bet you he was like Bart Simpson and just like full on train of thought, writing down every thought that he had and filled up that whiteboard with like three dozen quotes of his own from just how he was feeling about his ball club.

And credit to him, he took he took a major discount on a salary, which you could say, well, he didn't have any other options. That's fair. But he overhauled his staff. He had to do it, but he's evolved and he beat Ohio State. And it was like the way they beat them was very hard. They just fucking bodied them for 60 minutes and made them look soft. And I was just very happy for him.

I don't like Michigan. I like Harbaugh. It was awesome for Harbaugh. And it was I'll say this, Michigan fans like that's got to be that. That is what Michigan did on Saturday gives any team that is always getting beat down by their rival Hope. Because if you watch that scene in Ann Arbor, it was so perfect with the snow and everyone going crazy.

And it's like if you are on the wrong side of a rivalry, you watch that and you say it's bad. It could be it's as bad as it ever gets. Feels like we're never going to get out of it. But when that moment comes, it's something very, very special. And you saw it on Saturday. I look college football on Saturday with all the games was fucking awesome. The Iron Bowl. We'll talk about it on Wednesday. Iron Bowl was awesome.

Bedlam was awesome. There's just nothing like college football. I can always root for a team that wins games by just running around, shoving their opponents. Yeah. That's what Michigan does. They're just going to have their big guys just like push you, just standing upright, just shoving you like bullies. It was awesome. And they're going to be able to win.

They're going to be able to run the ball here. I'd say like the 49ers are kind of that type of team. Yes. In the NFL, where they're just going to you're just going to get shoved for like 60 minutes and you're going to take it. There's nothing you can do about it. Yep. And then, yeah, Minnesota did beat Wisconsin, but whatever. You have to root for her cousins, whatever. That sucked a lot.

Whatever. It's fine. We'll talk college football on Wednesday, whatever. It's fine. Billy, who's back of the week? My who's back of the week is the future. That's crazy to think about. Yeah. You just put my brain in a pretzel. Yeah. And by the future, I mean the metaverse, the matrix and NFTs. The part might take 2016 collection.

NFTs are going on auction starting Tuesday at 2 p.m. Easter time. Quick question, Billy. What is an NFT is a non fungible token? Now, is this free? This is is this the same one as the one that you did as an experiment for your own money? No, no, this. That was an experiment that I was using for this to be the real money you make off that one. It was in ETH, which is a coin, which is a crypto currency.

How much is it? It's about a certain decimal amount. How much money did you use it? You ruined the experiment by mentioning on the show. No, but how much money did you make? It's too much. It was actually a little scary. Yeah. Yeah. So how much money did you make?

It was it was kind of ridiculous. How many Jose Canseco fights? Oh, it was about it was about a tenth. Tell me how much money you made. OK. Too much. How much? On which one? All of them.

All of them. After fees. Twenty four hundred dollars. Oh, I thought it was going to be twenty four thousand first. Oh, yeah, we got it. Yeah. Also, you could just be completely lying to us, right? You're definitely lying. It was probably seven thousand dollars.

For Billy, he did show me last week. OK. It was kind of scary. I didn't think that would happen. But this is the beginning. Yeah, this is your villain origin story. This is not my villain origin story. I'm not taking. There's people out there who want part of my take NFTs.

Yeah, they really do. They want collector's items. Yeah, but they're only selling four. So only four people are going to own these or one person who buys all four. Right. So there's four. It's going to be the first Larry's pick. OK.

In NFTs format. Piss the first piss dogs. OK. Mark Slareth. The milk mile. OK. And the bogey ton bowl. OK.

So some collector of NFTs who finds value in them and is willing to pay for them will be. And where's the money go? The money goes to the company. OK. I'm trying to. Got it. Nice. Like help.

We're trying to make yourself. I'm not getting anything. I'm just trying to show that I can do projects. OK. Nice. You show them that you can do projects. I like this. All right.

I will vouch for you that you did this project. Thank you. Yes. All right. Until it gets stolen. And then I'm like, that was Billy's fault. Who's going to steal it? I don't know.

Right click. Those people. If they right click. Yeah. That's the one thing I haven't figured out. OK. So yeah. So yeah.

All right. So I'm not ready to vouch for you on the project yet. We'll get there though. We'll get there. But the people get it. Yes. The people. Anyway, Tuesday, 2 PM Eastern time.

Auction starts. And then next Tuesday, it ends at 2 PM. OK. We're not making any money off this. No. No. OK. The company.

I feel like the Instagram. One of the stairs there. Yeah. I know, yeah. All right. Jake, finish us off. Who's back? Is Wisconsin basketball?

There it is. They won the Maui Invitational. They beat Texas A&M. Had a big win against Houston. Held off St. Mary's in the championship. They not only went to Bracketology. They replaced Syracuse in Bracketology. Oh.

So Syracuse had a bad week. So look how we come around here. Yeah. What? To me, that seems like you're trying to make up for your earlier mistakes. No. By taking his own team out.

Well, first of all. You guys lost to Colgate. They're not a tournament team right now. They lost 2 out of 3 in Maui and in Atlantis. And they lost to Colgate. And it's more of a reactionary thing. The only thing where it's a true prediction is the last Bracket.

I understand, but like I said, you could have been a trendsetter. But Johnny Davis shoved his balls down your throat. Yes. But he didn't. Because when I didn't have them in the tournament, they were not a tournament team. Even you agreed.

Try calling the Iona game with Johnny Davis's balls in your throat. Not going to work. Rick Petino beat Alabama. Why did you bring up Rick Petino about balls? That's what I heard. Balls and throats. And you go, Rick Petino.

Even the game I'm calling on Friday. Are you going to get to interview him before? We're just talking about seeds. And Jake's like, what are you eating? I requested a coach's call. Waiting to hear it back. Can we be on it? Can we listen?

Of course. Jake, I'm going to give you some advice. I don't know if it's happening. I requested it. I'm doing this to prevent future news from making a giant mistake. Don't let us in the same building as you when you're on that call. You know how there's the Michigan Hate Week?

I have to say, Hate Week is Rick Petino Love Week. Oh, right. That was at a short week? 15 seconds? Did you just decide that? No, it's for them. We're going to be nice then. Larger, Jetty Low.

Did you just decide that for them? 15 seconds. The guy's like, hey, it's Rick Petino Love Week. Tune in to Rick Petino Love Week. That's just the most alpha thing Jake's ever done. Yeah, Rick Petino Love Week. But he's the alpha. He's the best in the office.

No. Let us be on the call. The coach's call? First, that's getting approved. I'm waiting to hear back from the SIDs. Yeah, I don't like most. Jake, trust me, do not let us on that call. Are you guys trying to get him on the show?

Sure. Yeah, we'd love to have him on the show. Do you want a stalker on the show? Yeah, exactly. So invite him on the show. If I have the coach's call, I'll introduce myself, say what I do, and I would say the guys would love to have you on the show.

Yeah. How do you think that would go? I think it'd be great. If you don't want to listen to it, there's a 15-second skip button right there on your iPhone. You'd probably be off the call. We'll see if I even get the call. I don't know.

No, I'm saying you'll be off the call of the game. Oh, look at that. Yeah, I don't want to do that to you, Jake. God, this guy's not doing this game. I don't want to do that to you. All right, OK, we won't do it. All right. What do you have, Duke?

There are one seed. I don't know if it's them, one overall or Purdue. One overall? So it really would be a disappointment if they didn't win the championship. Where do you have them if Ben Chereau has to go to rehab right before the tournament? Well, the selection committee takes into account

when their teams are without the players. Does the Jake selection committee take into account ethical and moral missteps that the team might have? Or is it like our Peter King situation? The committee takes that into account. OK. Kenney Martin rule, right?

Did he break his leg right before? Yeah, and they made him the one seed. They made him the one seed a few years ago. They still made him the one seed. Maybe I have that wrong. All right, let's finish the show. Oh, give me my computer back. Thank you, Billy.

Great show, everyone. Zach Wilson has won two out of his three last games on US soil. Good for him, really turning around. And he's only thrown one interception in the last seven weeks. What? Yeah.

But it was the one, the shovel pass off the guy's ass. Which doesn't really count. But also, he didn't play like five out of those seven weeks? Six? Six out of those? There was a bye. That's a good stat. All right, numbers.

18. 8. 3% of Antarctic glacier ice is penguin urine. 3%. That's pretty cool. Of Antarctic ice. Pissed dogs. I don't actually don't want this to count.

It's 97. Is it? That's a winner. Yeah, but it's not me. It's for libraries, too. But it's a first timer, and it's not in the, I think you got to go again. I don't think you can have a first timer on the computer.

I think it counts. A first timer on the computer? What's the point of doing it if it's not going to count? I haven't tracked which ones have been computers. So if we're counting this, we can't count all of those. All right, fine, it counts. All right, got it. I finally nailed it.

I'm guessing 97 for six points. Is if anyone disagrees. That's not your first win. No, no, no. Mickey Mouse ball. Yeah, it is. I don't feel good about it, but I'll take the victory. Frogcat.

I thought you were going to say it. It's bullshit. I thought you were going to say it. I self-reported. I didn't want it. I thought you were going to say it was 69 because I didn't actually say 69. It was 69.

Yeah. Damn. That would have been crazy. Because I didn't actually say it before. Love you guys. 69. Today is another day to find you. Shy it away.

I'll be coming for your lover, Kate. Shy it away. I'll be coming for your lover, Kate. Take on me. Take me on. I'll be gone. I'll be gone. I'll be left to save.

I'll have to set it. But I'll be stolen away. For the rest of my life is over. Say it with me. I'll be safe and sound. Say it with me. I'll be safe and sound. Say it with me.

Take me on. I'll be gone. And I don't care. All the things that you say. Don't use it a lot more. Just play mother with me. You are the things I've got to remember. Shy it away.

I'll be coming for you anyway. Shy it away. I'll be coming for you anyway. Take on me. Take me on. I'll be gone. And I don't care. I'll be gone.

And I don't care. I'll be gone. And I don't care. Take on me. Take on me. Take on me.
