What? Huh? Huh? We start in the meadowlands where a snowy Allen Blizzard was dumping points as he picked up a precipitation trophy from the snowflakes in the giant secondary. Dave Gettelman and Pat Shermer wish they hadn't drank the Kool-Aid from Daniel Jonestown after the rookie quarterback threw three dimes to the other team. Aaron Carter Rodgers does two things, hate his family members and set gold records as

he threw for four touchdowns for the third time in his career against the New York football Giants. Packers 31, Giants 13. The frozen meadowlands. Some spread. In Baltimore, it was LaMardi Gras as Jackson showed flashes of brilliance in Charm City exposing the 49ers' defense for a couple of TDs. The game came down to the final possession where Tucker had just enough for the game

winner and Robbie Golden Girl looks like he's over the hill but could still get fucked. Let us be the last to wish you a happy turkey day as Kyle Honeyglaze Shanahan goes home hungry and Harbaugh finally wins a big game on Thanksgiving weekend. In Charlotte where Darius Vanilla Guy said, check out my hook while my DJ Moore revolves it. He was cooking MC calfreys like a pound of bacon as Kyle Allen was playing like doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo The Panthers weren't the only team with a cam as Dwayne Haskins took a knee instead of

a selfie to end this one. It might be time for the tomato garden for Ron Corleone as the Panthers' coaches reign could be coming to an end. Redskins 29, Panthers 21. Up to Pittsburgh where there's no love lost between these two teams, Devlin Merrill Hodges was a factor quack as the Steelers' new quarterback was calling ducks instead of throwing them. In memory of their former kicker Jeff Dwayne Reed, this was the pharmacy bowl as Bud Germain Dupri gave Banker Mayfield indigestion saying, welcome to my lanta and Benny Drill Snell

put the Browns to sleep late in the fourth putting an ace bandage wrap on their season. The Browns may be Kareem Haunting for a new head coach after this season as the Freddy Kitchen sink looks more like a toilet, Steelers 20, the Browns 13. In Cincinnati where the windless Bengals brought their red rifle out of the gun case for the holidays, Sam Darnold wasn't making out with any sixes tonight going scoreless all afternoon as Sam Darnold swath an egg on no longer was calming and calming un-calming. Tyler had a boydian slip accidentally telling the Jets he wanted to score on them than doing it anyway.

Zach Brown Taylor likes his chicken fry cold spaghetti chili on a Sunday night because no one circles the wagons like the Cincinnati Bengals. Bengals 22, Jets 6. On the 10 year anniversary of the most famous one car accident of all time, Robert Tiger Woods ran like he was being chased by his wife carrying a five iron and a nasty grudge. The Ram Sunday was like a nice rounded golf, Jared that is, using every play in their bag to bludgeon the cards. Kyler Bill Murray was seeing golfers in the secondary as he looked extra judge small standing

in the pocket. Dante Chris Fowler showed up on game day. Uh, don't you mean Reese Davis boom? Yeah, that's right, Carl Ravage and the Rams are back on track. I'm 34, the Cardinals 7. My name is Sam Wanahan and I'm Ray Hallowell and we're with planseed.org out of Honolulu, Hawaii. On our last excursion together, Ray and I boarded the Honolodge as a small fishing

vessel out of Hollywood on the North Shore of Oahu. About three miles out, we noticed a dolphin started swimming erratically in front of the boat. I guess it was trying to get our attention and it did and what we did, we observed something by one of the buoys out there, Captain Mick thought it might be a monk seal and we get closer and then I zoom in with my camera and I see that it's a dolphin and the dolphin got entangled in the buoy line. As I jumped in the water and swam close, the other dolphin wasn't around that initially

made us notice this dolphin. It was really weak and when I got close to it, I touched its tail and it rolled over onto its back and held its breath. I dove down about four feet, which was where its tail had been locked into this noose and started cutting it off with a knife I brought. Slowly cut it off safely, didn't hurt the dolphin in any way. I wasn't sure if the dolphin even was still alive. I touched its stomach and I could feel its heart still beating and I rolled it over and

it took a breath and it popped its head out of the ocean, looked at me above the water and then looked at me under the water. Then I saw its eyes, it had been hazy, the eyes had kind of been hazy and the eyes kind of focused and saw me, looked at me and then made a little squeak and swam off. Dolphins 37, Eagles 31. In Kansas City where Darwin Hunter S. Thompson went gonzo making the Oakland Raiders defense look like they were sniffing ether. Travis Barker Kelsey had the offensive rhythm doing all the small things, making Derek Carr

think another six months he'll be unknown. Andy Reed didn't have a John Gluten-free diet this Thanksgiving as the Chiefs feasted off the by. We finished with Patrick Mahomes down on the field. Patrick, man, I was all filled up on turkey with all the pictures after Thanksgiving. I must have ate my dang weight in ketchup at the supper table, but I was munching down on that zone's secrets all day. You see John Gluten, man, I call this guy Tchaikovsky because he looks like a little

doll that's busting a nut every time he watches me play. He was super cool to see Coach Reed from Goffyer, he's showing him all the hot spots in Kansas City. It's no wonder Andy was ready to feast on the cupcake after spending all that time around frosting chips. Oh, Chiefs 40, Raiders 9. Standing on the corner, James Winston, Tampa, Florida, such a fine sight to see. It's a hose, my lord, hanging down to the floor.

Nick Folds, you have a big pee-pee. Come on, Gardner, your balls are larger. Fold's thick is so big it can't get any harder. Bucks 28, Jags 11. And we finish in Indianapolis where Ryan Gosling Tannehill was really, really good looking as the leading man for the Titans drive. The only way Jacoby Bryant percent makes up for his transgressions is with a giant ring as the coach windows closing faster than a Gemmercer route.

Derek Cartman-Henry used his fat ass to tell Andy, score you guys, I'm going home. As the Titans used their running back to pick up an important game in the AFC South Park. Oh my god, they killed Adam. That happened in week two, boom. Titans 31, the Colts 17. All right, week 13 almost in the books. We do have a good one on Monday night, too. We have a good one on Monday night, but take a deep breath because you are probably coming

off a long weekend of football, college, NFL, wall-to-wall. It's one of those stretches. We have that too coming up as well over Christmas break when the bowl games are on where you just sort of have this like new normal where you're like, yeah, I wake up, I get my coffee and then there's football. They're also naps involved. But if you spend a weekend taking like seven or eight naps, it actually makes you more tired when you get back to work on Monday.

Your body is used to being able to fall asleep with your belly hanging out and your top button on button, at least twice a day. Yeah, your muscle has like atrophy and you feel like a weak human being, but your brain is as sharp as it has ever been because you just watch football nonstop. Like you get to the point where you just have watched so much football that you start to get a little bit of the football related injury, a little blood coming out of your ears. Like, who is that? My brain leaking?

No, I've just watched so much football. It's a all-time water cooler day, too. Yeah. Monday morning after Thanksgiving, a lot of hot takes being dropped. A lot of, is Tom Brady done this time being spoken? So let's just jump in. Yeah. Let's jump into the Sunday night game.

Hank, you weren't here last week. We always do the Sunday night game first. We do. Give me a panic button update, Hank. Yeah. Go ahead. Give us a panic a button update. It's the panic button has been taken out of the case.

Okay. Because you did say last week that the Ravens are officially scary to you, which has been double confirmed today, and there's a lot of football left. But as of right now, if the playoffs started today, the Ravens would be the one seed, and the Super Bowl would go through Baltimore. Yep. But the Chiefs would be the four seed as of today, which- The Chiefs, yes.

Oh, okay. So you're saying that. You're trying to, like, okay, maybe they, well, what if- We would play the Texans in the second round instead of the Chiefs. Well, what if the three seed, what if the six seed beats the three seed? The Steelers are the Titans. This is too close to math for my liking on a Monday morning. Yeah.

But anyway, the Patriots did not look good tonight. The score was a lot closer at the end. Flu game, though. Flu game. It was. Tom Brady also, as a guy who dyes his hair, just want to shout out Tom Brady for having a nice new paint job there up top. Well, what he used to do is he kept it real tight on the sides, like Forrest Gump almost,

so he couldn't tell that he was going with salt and pepper. Now he's starting to grow that out, maybe for a little winter warmth, get a little shaggy around the edges. And yeah, he was looking salt and peppery. That was like, it was like jet black almost. It was a little disconcerting. Yeah. So this game, though, to me, as much as it was, everyone's going to talk about the Patriots

tomorrow because that's they, that's what happens when the Patriots lose. Everyone talks about it. It's kind of like when Alabama loses, it becomes a huge story. To me, this game was more about the Texans finally getting like a big, huge win on a prime time stage where it's like, man, you say what you want about the Patriots offense that hasn't looked good all year. His defense is an unbelievable defense. And the Texans were pretty damn effective against them.

Every time I looked up, there was a guy with dreadlocks catching a 40 yard bomb from Deshaun Watson. Deshaun Watson and Deshaun Watson is electric and also has that beautiful thing where, uh, Mike, Michael Vick, he's passed the torch from Michael Vick, where, uh, he'll have at least two or three passes a game where he'll throw it 3000 miles per hour at a receiver that's five feet away from him. And then he'll throw a dime 60 yards down the field, like drop it into a bucket. You're like, what's going on here?

Yeah. And on the other side, Tom Brady looked, he looked kind of dead tonight. He looked like he was a one scene ghost. I was, he was very scared of the Texans, a SWAT team linebackers. Yeah. Which, which credit to them, because if you dress like a SWAT team before a game, you have to win and they want, but you have to win. JJ Watt must have been so excited to not be included in that because he would have gone

along with it. He would have said, okay, guys, I'll get dressed up. I'll wear the bulletproof vest, which if you're going to wear a bulletproof vest, you might want to do it five years ago when Aaron Hernandez is lining up against you as a linebacker. But this time it was very fortunate that JJ Watt was not on the field because that would have been an all time screen grab. Oh yeah. And he, how pissed he's in JJ is right now that he wasn't like able to do the whole SWAT

team and then win that big game. That's got to suck. I mean, yeah, he might come back though. He was on the sidelines a lot. He was on the camera. They're keeping a spot for him on the IR right now. But the Texans, all the credit in the world to them, they are officially, I think the AFC has officially has like another team, even though this is just how the NFL works

because what two weeks ago, the Texans got the shit kicked out of them by the Ravens. And we were like, Oh man, they aren't ready for prime time. But the AFC has slowly kind of morphed into it. It's always been the NFC talk about how competitive it is. Now the AFC has four legitimate like division winners that are coming emerging and then a fifth team in the bills, which we'll get to later. That also looks like they could make some noise. It's going to be a competitive playoffs, you know what, you know what season it is right

now. It's coming into focus season. Yes. The picture is coming into focus big time. And yeah, it, the only thing that we really know for sure is that the Ravens are really, really good based on the games that the Patriots played against the Ravens and against the Texans and based on the Texans lost to the Ravens. We don't know which team is like second best at this point.

All I know is that this was a flu game for the Patriots. So we write here, two things, Hank, two spend zones on do your pot. One, it was a flu game. They have to take two planes down there. Two is the fact that thank God, that extra one is lying around. Yeah. Yeah. Where did that second plane come from?

It's just sitting in the hangar like, Oh, yep, that's our that really is game day plan. That's just for the, Oh, do you want to, do you want to talk about that? The game day plane that goes from in case you need to get attention on stress, it's for stress relief. Yeah. By the way, they kept showing Steve Belichick on the sidelines. He did not look healthy. No, I'll say this about coming for you, oh, what does that mean?

I'm just saying, like, if they cut to you, like, it's not like they cut to you on the sidelines of a game and be like, Oh, there's PFT comter looking sharp. I would look very sharp. You leave that the same style that you have. I'm looking very sharp. I'm looking very sharp. Got you there. He kind of got you.

I think you had your hair hair down and you were wearing a jumpsuit on the sideline. People would definitely scream grab and be like, who's this guy? Well, yeah, there'd be a lot of who's this guy, but there would not be like that guy's dehydrated. Steve Belichick looked like he was the plumber on the second plane that went down there. Just taking care of the bathroom. Oh, by the way, he got you. If you're flying, if you're flying nine people who all have the flu across the country, yeah,

how does the bathroom situation shake up? Because you've got, I think, like maybe two or three bathrooms on that plane. What do they pay the flight attendants to? You got to get extra pay like time and a half because you're just sitting there in the flu plane. Yeah. That sucks. That's really tough.

Maybe they get kind of who's also has the flu since like or has the flu shot. So Hank, panic button is out of the closet. Panic buttons out of the closet and as much as as much as Brady and the Patriots are going to get this week. If they come out next week and like silently beat the chiefs, it will all go away. Is that Sunday night as well? It's Sunday afternoon. Oh, Sunday afternoon.

The, the funny thing to me is narratives work in the NFL and obviously the Patriots get all, you can sit here and say they look bad tonight, but they still, you still have to worry about them in the place because they're Patriots and Tom Brady and Bill Belichick and everything they've proven. But if you sat here and said, there's an AFC East team with a great defense, a suspect offense and they beat up on really bad opponents and then have lost some of their big games, you could be talking about the bills or the Patriots. If you're a Patriots fan, you're telling yourself, Tom Brady is like a great closing

salesperson. He doesn't get out of bed for the small deals, like a non-divisional game away on the road. Doesn't really matter. He can still do it in the playoffs when it counts. But now you're starting to think it's the wide receiver chemistry that's a big concern. They double up Edelman. It's basically like Brady doesn't like any of his other receivers. Now do you think now Antonio Brown or Gronk, any chance?

No, I don't think Gronk can come back. I read that. Week 15, I thought. No, it would be this week is when he said he was coming back. Oh, yeah. Yeah. But I don't think that he's eligible to come back for some weird NFL rule that nobody understands.

Too many, too many Gronk cruises that he's already agreed to. Yeah. He's out of the country right now. He can. He has too many commitments. Super Bowl week. They looked at his ad deals. Okay.

Let's go to. So panic button is out, but not fully pressed. I think that's appropriate. I mean, they're still 10 and two like that's they're still 10 and two. You're looking at the panic button and staring at it. Hey, you just need to do that. Pull it out of the cupboard. Pull it out of the box.

Wait, was it in the was in the glass enclosure? Was it in the closet or was in the cupboard? I think it was buried in like, I think you buried it in the backyard and then you took out a map and you paced it off off a tree after the Ravens game and then you're like, no, I'm not going to actually take this. And then you started breaking the ground tonight and you've dug it up, but you haven't brought it in the house. Right.

That would be my guess is sitting on like the back porch being like, ooh, it's kind of dirty. Let's not bring it. Let's make this rake situation yet next because if they lose, then it's like next week you wash it off and you put it. You put it next to your bed. Yeah. Yeah.

Or you just throw it back out in the backyard. Yeah. Throw it back in. Let's forget about it entirely. All right. Let's do the rest of the slate on Sunday. The it will start with the Cincinnati Bengals have won a football game. Congrats to them.

Roof guy can come off his roof. He's so pissed off now. I saw that video. That was the biggest bullshit that he was claiming he was on his roof. Did you see it? No, I didn't see it. He was in an attic in his bar, his restaurant. Jesus.

That guy had it made. He made a man cave and he, like we guessed, he just wanted to get away from his family. So now he's got the worst Sunday scaries because the Bengals won and he has to leave his little tree house and go back to his family thinking like, ooh, maybe we'll go 0 and 16. I can spend all off season in summer just hanging out at my bar. Yeah. He has to quit being a roof guy. Lifestyle to give up right there.

Yes. So thoughts and prayers to him. Once again, the Bengals prove that they are the best team in the NFL at tanking because they win one game that they could afford to win. Correct. They still have a one a commanding one game lead on the what are we calling it the the Borough Bowl? Yes.

The Chase Young slash Borough Bowl. Yeah. Somebody from Ohio. Young Borough is going to stay in state. But yeah, those it's a good win for them to have because it really did nothing for their placement and it continued the Cincinnati tradition of helping the bills get into the playoffs. Yes.

Yes. Something that Andy Dalton is very, very good at. Yes. And the Jets. Now, that was so Jets. That was so, so Jets a stereotype. We're going to get to another stereotypical game with the Browns and Steelers. But this is like in the Jets DNA to have a quarterback who seems like the guy say we're

going to run the table. The playoffs are still there, rattle off three straight wins where they score 34 points in every single game and then go to Cincinnati and own 11 team and score six points and just pissed down their leg. I'm sorry Jets fans. That is so Jets. Yeah. That is so, so Jets.

And not only that, but the Jets now have let two teams that were 0 and 7 or worse get their first win of the year. The Dolphins won their first game of the year against the Jets when they were 0 and 7. The Bengals are 0 and 11 and they beat the Jets for their first one of the year. That's pretty bad. The Jets are medicine. They're medicine for winless teams. Unbelievable.

Yeah. Not great. So I don't, I don't know. Like I thought that the Jets did have a chance once Sam Darlton said he was going to run the table. Once they started doing it, I was thinking like maybe maybe, maybe, but yeah, this was just and Cincinnati is a weird place to play. It always looks 10 degrees colder there than it really is.

The helmets are cool. The helmets are awesome. Always cool. Any Dolphins coming back. He's very well rested. He looked great. He looked happy. It was, it was good to see the Bengals.

I feel like it's one of those things. We root for funny things to happen. We root for ties. We root for weird things. I don't root for 0 and 16 because that's just so demoralizing. Yeah. I was upset when, when the Browns did it a couple of years ago because to me that's always the Lions man of the carry.

That should be theirs. Right. Hugh Jackson was like, you know, an accelerant for the fire there. And so that should almost, they should have an asterisk by their own 16 season because you can put Hugh on any team and you'll be in danger of losing every game. Speaking of which, Hugh has been reported to possibly be the new offensive coordinator for the Arizona State Sun Devils. I love it.

So many life lessons. Hugh is a great life lessons guy too. How quickly you think, how many years before Hugh undermines Herm and gets that job? Well, Herm's probably going to have to say you play to win the game to Hugh a couple of times to remind him that's actually what we're trying to do. Herm is mysteriously in two years going to be like, you know what? The passion is gone for me for coaching. I'm going to be the AD and Hugh's going to be the new coach.

It's like, what happened? And then Hugh's going to finish last in the packs, pack 12 South, six years in a row and still have a job. I mean, Herm seems like he was built to be an AD of a school like Arizona State. Like go golfing, are you doing Hugh Jackson's bidding for him? Yeah, that's the first thing is because he'd be like, Herm, you look good for an AD. What is that supposed to mean? Well, you know, you're a little old for a coach.

Yeah, play 36 holes today. Herm, that's fine. I'm going to handle the office and you've earned some bit. You don't want to recruit. Come on. Did you see that Andy Dalton just today? He got into first place all time for the touchdowns, the all time touchdown list for the Bengals.

I thought that he would have had that four years ago. Congrats to Andy. Who knows who he passed a banner year for him. Who would he have passed for that? This is it. Dalton is playing for a job next year. Like he these are tryouts. Chris Collinsworth, Carson.

Chris Collinsworth is a wide receiver. Carson Boomer. Carson Palmer. Carson Palmer. But then he got hurt. Kimo von Olhoffen or whatever the fuck. Yeah, kind of ended that whole thing. Akili Smith.

Yeah, maybe. OK. Yeah, that's Boomer Boomer. I said Boomer would have been. I would imagine Boomer's number two. How how pissed do you think Boomer is to be online right now and just have everyone reply? OK, OK, Boomer.

It's tough. It's very tough. He's got to be going crazy because he's also an actual Boomer. So he probably doesn't fully understand what's going on. But then also people are saying, OK, Boomer. It's Boomer squared. Yeah, that sucks. There was like a hot week where Chris Berman got on Twitter.

And yeah, he was on Twitter for a little bit. And then it was like, I have no idea what I'm doing. We need to do like a history of Mark May's Twitter. I wonder if he's still on Twitter. Mark Anderson. Mark May was. Ken Anderson. There you go.

Was shockingly more coherent on Twitter than he is in real life, which is saying something because his tweets sound like Peter Gammons tweets on Ask. Mark May was definitely a broken links guy. He's a Boomer. Mark May is just like, if you're looking for a definition. I think he's still sitting in a studio somewhere

where the cameras aren't on. Yeah. But he and Lou Holtz are just screaming at each other. You're just yelling at each other. Each other's spit is going into the other guy's mouth. Making like slight digs at each other about Pitt and Notre Dame. Like anyone cares about either school anymore. Yeah, all they're doing.

OK, so that was Jets Bengals. Congrats to the Bengals. Bengals fans. You deserve this one. It just sucks to be 0 and 16. So you won one game and that's good. And you still have the first pick. All right.

Next up, the hottest team in the NFL. Possibly the Redskins. No, I was going to say the Titans. Tennessee Titans 31 Colts 17. This is now a Derek Henry appreciation podcast. Yes, I dropped that nugget last week where in games past November 10th since 2017, he is averaging 5.74 yards per carry.

Essentially, we get to November and December and people are like, I don't want to tackle that guy anymore. He has he had 149 yards today. And then in his last 16 games, 16 games consecutively. So he's going back to last year, obviously, 1700 yards, 18 rushing touchdowns. Doesn't get talked about as as like one of the top backs, but he's up there now.

That's pretty crazy. Yeah, I mean, imagine trying to tackle Derek Henry when it's nice outside. No. And then imagine, you know, that feeling that you get. Have you ever been hit in the ear on a cold day with like a football or a soccer ball or something like that? That's like your entire body when

you're trying to tackle Derek Henry when the temperature gets below 40 degrees business decisions when it comes to tackling Derek Henry. Do you know I would strictly try to tackle him by his ponytail. That's it. Did you know Derek Henry's nickname? The train.

No, the detrain. No, you're close. Different language. I didn't know this. I was doing a little research. I think this is one of those like deep internet and Titans fans only tractor Cito tractor Cito like the little the little tractor he's the little tractor from.

It was from the sugar bowl in 2014. The ESPN deportes announcers were calling him tractor Cito tractor and he choose up turf. And I and and and funny enough, I searched it and Titans fans were talking about tractor Cito today. That is an awesome nickname. That's pretty sweet. It needs to be like for people need to know about tractor Cito

more than I'm sure there are people who know and I'm not trying to say like it's this underground thing, but more people need to know about tractor Cito. Yeah, that is a sweet nickname. He needs to step on that and start doing some trademarking. Yes. Sell some T or we can sell some T. We could sell some tractor Cito because we are Derek Henry

podcast. We are a shout out to the Titans. Yeah, their their podcast is mad at me now, too. Oh, really? Not just you. Yeah, will comp. Actually, I'm going to start calling it Will Compton's podcast. OK.

Bustin with the boys. Why are they upset? Because I said we got into a beef with their podcast. So they started the beef. Yeah, they started the beef. So I actually like Will Compton. So I'm just going to say it's Will Compton's podcast. And we believe in the Titans and we are Mike Vrable.

We're the probably the only ones. I think I went viral on Titans Twitter a few weeks ago because we basically said the Titans stink except for Vrable. And yeah, I guess there's some like Titans fans who don't like Mike Vrable. Well, guess what? We don't like you. That's like everyone else.

The challenge was yes. Yeah. Yes. And it's how can you know? That was a better throw than Marcus Mariota said all year. Now, Ryan Tannehill, is this it? Yeah, he's taking the next step before our very eyes. We joke about the next step with Tannehill.

It's been happening slowly for the last four years. It's been like a euro step. It's taken forever to develop. But he's actually good now. He threw that deep ball. I can't remember. It was I can't remember what quarter it was, but he threw like a 40 yard deep ball that I was like, wait.

Ryan Tannehill. Yeah, is this it? This is the guy. So apparently it takes seven years, six years, whatever it has been, a couple franchises, a couple benches to fully realize your, you know, everything you have in you. Ryan Tannehill is here. He is now this is this is the dangerous part, though.

The Titans are going to do the like three year not mega contract, but like three year, 15 million a year contract for Ryan Tannehill being like, he's the guy. And the next year he goes back to Ryan Tannehill. It's a strong possibility that. But I also think that Vrabel is one of those coaches that probably doesn't love quarterbacks, no matter who they are. Yep. Since he's a, you know, he had enough flags thrown on him

while he was actually playing when he hit a quarterback like a second too late. Yeah. Where he still has that lingering resentment towards anyone that throws a football. So I could I could see him making him like a bridge deal. Carry him over to the next guy. But yeah, I mean, if they if they give Tannehill like a hundred twenty million dollars this offseason, that's a recipe for disaster. I'll say this, though, but I agree with it.

He's I watched him. I'm like, Ryan Tannehill, you got a hot quarterback. He's doing it. You got to stick with him. I think the Titans might want to play off game. So they're real motherfuckers to play against. They are. They're real motherfuckers. They are like their defense runs around and flies around. And like we said, Derek Henry, no one wants to tackle that guy.

They are they are officially in that six seed spot where it's them or the Steelers at this point. And it feels like either of those teams, and maybe not the Steelers as much, but their defense is awesome, could officially make some noise because the Titans, we talked about it, though, that that game they played against the Chiefs, where they won at the end. That was the turn the corner game.

And the rest of their schedule is not easy, but they basically control their own destiny because they have the Texans twice coming down the stretch. Yeah. So they play the Texans two out of the last three weeks of the season. They have at the Raiders next week. Now, that's one of those games that if they don't, that's a portal game. They got to beat the Raiders. Then they're for real. Then they're for really real.

I don't know. So there are what, seven and five seven and five. So they have to they have to at least split it with the Texans. Right. And then they'll be there. The Raiders and Saints are in between those. That's going to be tough to do. But Saints at home, though, put it this way. If I'm Mike Vrable, I'm a little bit nervous. I'm going to have to cut my dick off.

I really am. He is the MVP in this of that team because he's like he's a pretty good coach, I think, and he gets he gets his dough. Be careful. I'm going to get mad at you and Titans Twitter. OK, sorry. We like we love him. Let me rephrase this.

Mike Vrable is the coach of the Tennessee Titans. And I don't want to say anything to offend anyone. Yeah. And we personally love him. Yes. Yes. Someone someone took the video and tweeted it and just all like Titans fans for like a whole day. I had Titans fans in my mentions being like, you're fucking idiot. You get you get paid to talk about sports. I'm like, yeah, kind of.

But not really. I get paid to basically admit my bias openly. Listen, here there are two types of coaches in the NFL. One is like an offensive guru, a mad scientist that's going to put points up and innovate and do crazy shit and make you like crap yourself because these are routes that I've never seen a wide receiver run before. And the second type is just kind of a grinder coach that's able to get his players to play hard in certain situations.

And Mike Vrable is probably the best of the grinder coach. And the third the third type is coaches that we are personally friendly with and we will always have their back. So he's two out of three of those. So he he checks all the boxes for us. Adam Vinitieri, this is sad. I know the two of his kicks were blocked and he missed one. He had two blocked.

I don't know. This feels. One of those. I don't know what he's doing. Like what the Colts, the Colts season is now over. They're not going to make the playoffs or six and six and they've lost. There's they're kind of stumbling here. I think they've lost four out of five. But what are you doing? Like basically giving up a portion of the game willingly

because a guy is a legend and he is a legend. He's a Hall of Famer. But what are you doing? If you can make Jim Erse cry with emotion to the point where he doesn't want to cut you because he'll weep openly. He'll just keep you around. You can have a job for as long as you like. It's crazy. It's crazy that he is still out there kicking a few.

One of those kicks, though, it looked like when you're playing a video game and you turn off sides off and you just stand in front of the holder and you put like two guys. That's what it looked like. Yes. Like the kick never had a chance to get off the ground. No. And we were saying that we were guessing that because the offensive line and the special teams is like, he's going to miss anyway. Let's just not block. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, whatever.

You're just demoralized. You're like, we don't want to. We actually don't want to embarrass Adam Vinitieri anymore by missing this kick. Let's just let him block. That's very, very nice. Yes. Do that. By the way, Titans Twitter, if you want to clip any of this, you can do it at barsvillegold.com slash PMT is a go ahead.

You got to sign up for barsvillegold.com slash PMT and then clip away. Did I mention last week that it was Will Muschamp that took Derek Henry and tried to turn him into a linebacker? No. Yeah. So Will Muschamp when he was recruiting him was like, yeah, you're going to play my position. You're going to be one of my guys. And Mike Vrable is essentially just like a real a much smarter version of Will Muscham. Yes. That makes. And well, no, I was going to say less wet, but not really.

No, he's exactly as wet. Yes. He's he's of the same moistness, smoother brain. Yes. Definitely. Definitely smoother brain. All right. He's like what Will Muschamp thinks he looks like when he looks in the mirror. Yeah, he's like, damn, you you are a leader of men, Will. You you really can bench a lot. Yeah. And then he gets up there and it's like everyone's just helping him.

His players are just helping get the bar up. Will Muschamp would build this coach and in five hundred and fifty. He would make an entire team out of linebackers if he had a chance. Yes. All right. Next up, we have Eagles Dolphins. No one wants to win the NFC East. It's the Cursed Monkey's Paw. What? What? This is like a cursed monkey's paw.

It's like a thing. Cursed monkey's paw. It's like they're playing hot potato with a hand grenade. What is a cursed monkey's paw? It's like it looks like it's good. A monkey's paw has the three wishes on it and you get to wish on it. Not familiar. But it's cursed. You need to watch more Simpsons. OK. So if you have the cursed monkey's paw, it looks like a great thing

because you get three wishes out of it. But the trick is all the wishes come with something really bad. So they're treating it like it's something that should be nice, but they don't really want to have it. Do you think people who and I love the Simpsons? I never was like the diehard Simpsons fan. There obviously are diehard, diehard Simpsons fans. Do you think at some point in like 30 years,

they'll just be a group of people that only talk in Simpsons? You know, episodes. I think it's starting to happen because there are those very diehard who just reference something like, huh? Oh, OK. Yeah, I just forgot that that's a thing. I would say 20 years from now, their society is mostly going to be made up of Simpsons and office references. Are the Simpsons still running?

Yeah, but not really. OK. That that's crazy. Like grinding to a slow. They're just they're just still out there doing their thing because you can't. They're like the Adam Venetieri of Fox. You can't fire the Simpsons. Yeah, you can't fire a few kicks blocked every month. And yeah, they'll just stick around for a while.

It will just be it will basically be like a jeep wave in 30 years where just guys will just be saying Simpsons obscure Simpsons reference. Like, oh, yeah. And that's also watch the Simpsons. And that's our analysis of the NFC East. Yeah, it sucks. They should first monkeys paw. I want to say this. Take away a playoff game.

Take away the home playoff game from the team that wins the NFC East. Well, this is like they don't deserve it. This is the famous. What it was in 2009 or 10 when the NFC West had their winner finish seven and nine. And it was the last night of the season when it was the Seahawks and the Rams. Seahawks want to playoff game, though. That was that was my shot.

Yeah, those beast quake. But yeah, this division is a joke. The Eagles go into Miami in a must win because everyone's looked at the Eagles schedule and like, oh, they can basically win out because they play no one and they lose. And guess what? They got Fitzmagic. We finally got our full on Fitzmagic game.

We've had we've had close calls with Fitzmagic. He's won games where it's like the opponent maybe wasn't very good. This was a full on Fitzmagic game. He threw three hundred and forty five yards. He also threw a touchdown against the Eagles. And he's done that with seven different franchises. That was the most impressive. He's the Eagle killer.

That's the Eagle killer. He's done it with the Rams, Bengals, Bills, Dolphins, Texans, Jets and Bucks. He needs to go to the Eagles and somehow pick six, throw a pick six and complete the whole thing through a touchdown against the Eagles from the Eagles. Yes. So credit to Brian Flores, because I don't know how you can actively tank be as bad as the Dolphins have been at some points in the season and still have guys trying, but he does. And he ran the coolest trick play.

The Colts punt from like 10, five years ago that we always make fun of. They ran that and they scored. Yeah, their kicker caught a touchdown. It was incredible, which is nuts. And Devonte Parker also had two touchdowns in 159 yards. But if you're actively trying to tank, you don't run that play or do you? Or are you like, no, there's no way that I'm going to complete a pass from my holder or whatever to my kicker.

Well, so that trick play was so genius because it basically it went against human nature. So human nature, when you watch the play, everyone on the line just saw a guy that they could like absolutely crush and no one was blocking. And they all just started rushing at him as fast as they could and left. The who? Who? Who caught it? The kicker? So yeah, it was the kicker caught it in the end. Their punter Matt Hack.

Yeah, Matt Hack threw a touchdown pass today and their kicker caught it. Their kicker's name is, let's see, Jason Sanders caught it. Great. One touchdown. Oh, man, I'm on my one target. Yeah. Do you get credit for that? If you're I don't think that you do. I don't think you do, but I know there are some people because we're getting to. I think this is the week before the playoffs. There are people who are writing strongly worded emails to Matthew Barry

to Yahoo, to CBS, PSPN, now fix it, fix the scoring. The Deandre Hopkins touchdown. People are freaking about freaking out. This is big time freak out about like points, you know, decimal points of scoring, which that it matters. I know we do the don't care about your fans team, but that I actually will support people in when at the end of the season, like Neil Downs, all those weird scoring things.

So just right when you get to the playoffs, that matters. They didn't credit Deandre Hopkins with a passing touchdown yet. Yeah, that might be adjusted after the fact. Yeah. Now, do the do the defense and yes, you can. If they they they adjust it usually like on Tuesday mornings, I've had that happen in a league before where you win and then Tuesday morning comes, it's like, whoops, you lost. So they need they need Amazon Web Services to come in or next gen stats or whatever

and figure out that that ball went like a quarter of a yard forward. Yes. And then they'll credit them. Yes. I like that. So yeah, it was a touchdown pass. They're kicker. I like your theory on it that you send the the most hittable player out there running with the ball. He's like he's like fresh meat. Yeah, they should just send like the dorkiest looking player on the team.

Should do that. Everyone just left their assignment. It was like, I want to fucking kill this kicker and he and he just left or the holder and he left the kicker wide open in the end zone. It was it was a genius play. I'm trying to think of who the who's the most hittable player in the NFL. It might be more stead on the Saints just because he's got those boxy shoulder pads. Cody Parky, Cody Parky.

No, you want to make sure that he stays in the game. So yeah, that's true. That's true. Hmm. That's a good question. Who's most hittable player face? Mike Glennon, but he's a quarterback. So yeah, trick play, although kind of is a trick. Yeah, he's really forward.

Mason Rudolph, Mason. That's true. Yeah, he might get hit in the face with a helmet. Could it went one step too far? Maybe that's the trick play the Steelers have is they have Mason Rudolph running a play where he only has like the old school single bar mask so you can really see his face. Yeah, now he would get destroyed on that. Oh, fuck that. The NFC East is 16 and 32 combined.

Yeah, relegate the last place team to the big 10. Incredible, incredible. And the Redskins are still alive. Very much still alive. Incredible, incredible, incredible that that is how. I mean, the Cowboys had a meltdown and we're going to talk about the Thanksgiving games in a little bit here. But the Cowboys had a meltdown on Thursday and then come Sunday.

They're like, oh, you're still in first place and still have a commanding lead. I would like to apologize to Eagles fans because I've been giving them a little bit of a hard time because they are the first ones to get down on their team when anything goes wrong. Like I'm talking about the smallest misstep. They like fire everybody. This team stinks their garbage. You were right. You were dead right. You were dead right.

I was wrong, but it's like having you're probably like this with Stella, your dog, Stella barks at everything. So you kind of tune her out for a while. And then when somebody does break into your house and she's barking, you're like, Stella, not now, I'm trying to go to sleep. And then it turns out that there was an intruder. The Eagles fans were right parking early about this team because they do not look good in really any faster of the game.

And the Eagles have the double whammy right now, where you have the quarterback that you let go in Nick Foles, who I've I still am very much in the cars. Once is a lot better than Nick Foles will get to Nick Foles in a bit, but you let the quarterback who won the Super Bowl go. And you also the theory is the smart guys that helped you win you that Super Bowl are now in Indianapolis and Frank Wright. So if you're an Eagles fan, you're sitting there like, wait,

we got the wrong quarterback and the wrong coach. That's that's the worst case doomsday scenario. I'm not saying that's what it is, but that thought is going through Philadelphia right now. Yeah, because it doesn't get much worse than losing to the Dolphins. No, in a game and you have to win every game, you have to win every game. I just hope that we get an eight and eight division winner. I mean, we might we might get a seven and nine.

I that that is going to be very hard to do, but God damn it. I want it. I want it. I want it. All right. Next up before actually we do Packers Giants, I want to talk to you guys about a leading blended Scotch whiskey. You know the name I'm about to say Chivas Regal. And I nailed it has launched a special new blend. Chivas 13 Manchester United Special Edition in honor of the team's 13 Premier League title wins under the management of Sir Alex Ferguson.

The 13 year old Scotch are selectively finished in American Rye cast to magnify the sweet delicate notes of the unrivaled Chivas house style, resulting in an exceptionally smooth Scotch with notes of sweet and juicy orange citrus, creamy milk chocolate and a dusting of cinnamon. Chivas 13 Manchester United Special Edition is the first 13 year old Scotch to be released by Chivas Regal. Chivas exclusively in the U.S. and is available on shelves this fall.

Chivas Regal is the world's first luxury whiskey renowned for its benchmark quality and taste, style, substance and exclusivity. Chivas Regal believes that blended is better in life and in Scotch. We actually got some bottles. They gave it to us and I have mine sitting at my desk. I've had a few sips and it is delightful. I enjoyed something the night. Yeah, Chivas Regal is delicious.

OK, Packers Giants Snow Game. Big time snow game and the fake lines. I didn't like that. Oh, I didn't like that stupid. You know, it was stupid. Yeah, it was dumb. It looks it looked fake. I want they were fake, but it looks extra fake. When I when I see a snow game, I want the mystery. I don't want to know where the yard lines are.

That's half the fun. And I want the shovels to come out in the in the guy with the snow plow to come out and or the the the leaf blowers to walk around with the leaf blowers. But yeah, so if you didn't watch this game, there was a moment where Fox basically did like it looked like the illuminated puck back in the late 90s that the NHL tried to do with Fox and they had like illuminated yard markers. And it was so bad. They actually I think it was one of those situations where enough people

complained on Twitter that they changed it. Dead. Not only was it the numbers, but it was also like the hash marks. Yes, we're all individually grayed out. It was terrible. Let me enjoy the snow. Let me. That is, you know, with global warming taking over the entire world. The one of the last comforts that I have snow is snow football snow. Don't take away my pure snow football for me. I hated it. And I want to send a big fuck you to my cable company, too.

Yeah, big fuck you for making me watch this game. Well, we do live in New York. Yeah, but fuck you. I should have the option. I choice is important right now. It's 2016. I should be able to watch the 49ers Ravens game. I agree and not have to watch Pat Schermer refuse to put Eli Manning in the game, even though Daniel Jones sucks now.

Yeah, I was it was I couldn't believe I was watching the entirety of the Packers Giants game and the Jets Bengals game. That's my only options. You know what I did this morning, which I love to do once we get to December and you have snow football and the elements, so to speak. I walked outside and gave myself a little scouting report. Oh, checked it out. Yeah, just checked it out. Just like, OK, all right. Well, there's a little hail come in.

I don't know. Maybe I still got my bet wrong. But I did do the scouting report boots on the ground, which I live not close to the metal. It's about 45 minutes away. I actually it was like coming down in droves during the game and nothing outside my window, but still boots on the ground. I did my scouting report. It was a little bit weird watching that game on TV with all the snow

and then looking out your window and there's nothing. Well, it's it's it's like one of the great things in life. If you live in an NFL city, you walk out on Sunday morning and you feel like, you know, like Vince Lombardi, just what you maybe you hand in your pockets, just kind of sniffing the air, maybe toss a little grass, just feel what the wind is going to be like, what the what the elements are going to be like so that you can feel like you have an insider knowledge, even though we have weather apps

that give you like to the minute, accurate data. I still want to get the feel of it. Right. It actually smells different. Yeah. And it smells like an under game. I bet you over. But it did have the under smell to. Well, I always do the the snow tricks my brain because I'm like, it's one of those things that we where if you are gambling on sports,

you can basically convince yourself anything like short rest. You can convince yourself, oh, well, they're tired, so there'll be points or oh, they're tired, so they won't be able to run their offense. Snow. I'm always like the defense slips. You know how we always talk about different quarterbacks that aren't good in the cold weather? Like there, who have we put on that list? Derek Carr, Derek Carr's big time.

A couple other guys with small hands. Matt LaFleur does not look comfortable in cold weather. He's bad because he's a coach of the Green Bay Pack. He looks like a little snow bunny all wrapped up and he's ready to get off the slopes and he doesn't have enough weight. He's he I mean, not to go like Jewish grandmother on him, but he looks like he's starving. He's all skin and bones.

He needs to eat, eat, eat, eat, eat. Come on. So this game, let's actually talk about the game. Daniel Jones stinks and Pat Shermer is a dead man walking. Pat Shermer update on where Pat Shermer is with the entire New York Giants organization. He is at the level where he's talking about how they're a historically young team. So that is the last bargaining level of a coach about to get fired, where they continually tell you how young their team is and how it's a process.

And he said, at some point, will be good enough to win. You won't be here for that. But yes, you're right. At some point, the Giants will win again. It might not be this year. It might not be next year. They got to develop. They're historically young. Big guy, they're they are a young team. They're they've drafted well, but they have to develop those players

and see how they pan out at this level. So yeah. Hey, listen, let Pat Shermer stick around for a while because I I enjoy watching him lose. I don't know what it is about Pat Shermer, but he's got he's very non-threatening. And he thinks he's smarter than everyone always makes the wrong decision. He even had the moment today where he was down three scores and could use a field goal and didn't kick a field goal. The game was over, but it was like,

this is actually the time that you kick a field goal to extend the game. And he went for it in field goal range. He doesn't have a chart. He has no chart needs a chart guy. His chart, he actually thinks that astrology is what tells him whether or not to score points or not, because he you're right. He makes the wrong decision consistently. Consistently. It's shocking how often he gets it wrong. He's like he's like someone who pulls out a compass and then follows it.

And then it realizes is a Fisher price compass. And it's actually the North Pole is stuck in one location. Well, as an office reference, he like follows the GPS into the lake. There you go. He's like, this is where it told me to go. Nice. Nice. Do I true? No, Michael Scott. Michael Scott. Featuring twice. True. Classic combo.

And a rental car. Yeah. So, yeah, Daniel Jones, I don't know if you're a Giants fan. I think you can do for the rest of the year, you can do the well. He's young. But if you are not concerned about the fact that he at minimum has like three turnovers a game and it's always a it could be two fumbles. It could be three picks. Who knows? You've got to be at least a little nervous.

Yeah. I mean, there hasn't really been that much to root for for Daniel Jones since that first victory that he had. Right. Yes. Like besides that, what what good has he done? He he walks in with his Brooks Brothers shirt. That's true. Get mono. Didn't get mono. He's not making out with girls in season because I think he definitely

has like his girlfriend from like seventh year, seventh grade. Yeah. And he's going to get married soon. But it's going to be weird how long he waits to get married, but he's still going to get married soon. It sounds about right. He right. His looks showing up to games. Backpack. It's something. It's something he does look like he's getting off like the school bus for picture day.

Right. Every so there you go. That's memorable that he's done that. The only other thing I wrote down was Alan Lazard had a big day and I'm very excited for him to be good for maybe a little bit for the packers and then leave and bash Aaron Rodgers every chance he gets on Twitter and random Fox, you know, Colin Coward show and whatnot. That'd be nice for you. That's going to be fun.

He because that's I feel like that he's the he is the next. Who does it? Greg Jennings. No, does Greg Jennings say no. He doesn't usually say stuff. Who's the guy who always says shit? Fuck the package and sharp. No, the Packers receiver who always bashes Aaron Rodgers. Why can't I think of his name right now?

It was a tight end. It was a tight end. Jimmy Graham. No, no. Someone's got it. So they go through a lot of time. You're Michael Finley. Yes. Yeah, you're Michael. Yes, that's that's the new one.

Thank you. Although I'm sure Michael Bennett would bash Aaron Rodgers if you gave him a chance. Yeah, he'd bash anyone the entire. Yeah, he'd bash the entire program there. So yeah, they've got Alan Lazard, Devonte Adams at wide receivers. The question is, are are his wide receivers bad enough for Aaron Rodgers to feel good about dragging them to victory? Because if you want to, I'm too good.

Yeah, he's too good. If he plays with a lot of talent at wide receiver and a tight end, then Aaron Rodgers, he gets pissed off because it's not like he's not the one that dragged this, you know, lump of dog shit to greatness. He likes being the guy. And I think that they're too talented for Rodgers to win a Super Bowl this year. I, the Packers, congrats on winning a game against a really bad team. I still think I still think my thoughts on the Packers.

You still think that they're F words. I think I if you talk to if you look in into a Packers fans eyes and you're like, come on, like you guys are good, but come on. It doesn't feel special. They say that they will. If you can get the truth out of the bike, you're right. No, it's not. The team isn't fully complete for that to be the case.

Shout out to Mercedes Lewis, though, who caught a touchdown. His first touchdown catch from Aaron Rodgers. Damn, he's still alive. OK, that's pretty cool. All right. Next up, we have the big rivalry game. Steelers, Browns all time. In this league, it was the T shirt war that went on for everyone arriving at the stadium this morning.

It started with Freddie Kitchens over the weekend, having a Pittsburgh started it shirt. And then we had Bud Dupre wearing a free pouncy shirt and Cameron Sutton had the old. It looked like a Calvin and Hobbes, but it was it was like a little kid in a Pittsburgh helmet peeing on a Browns player. Yeah, I loved it. Yeah, it was a lot of this league.

And also Jarvis Landry was wearing a revenge shirt. Yep. Basically, this entire rivalry could be cooled down with a long talk from Mr. Rogers about how to talk to our friends and handle disagreements and control our emotions. Yes. But yeah, they're they're all very angry at each other. And it turns out that the Steelers defense is really good. And it turns out I've been saying it. It turns out I love the Steelers defense.

Duck Fox, Duck Fox. So I'm going to say something trigger warning. I'm going to say something that our listeners who are Cleveland Browns fans are not going to be happy when I say it, but I have to say it. This was the ultimate. This is why the Steelers are the Steelers and the Browns of the Browns game, because you are on the third string quarterback for the Steelers. You don't have Juju.

You don't have James Conner. The Browns are rolling a little bit. They come out and they're firing in the first half. And it looks like they're going to win this game and basically have this shot at a playoff spot and run, you know, down the stretch. And then they just disappeared. Baker hurt his hand, though. Baker hurt his hand.

That's what's cropping, grabbing hands. That's very important. Outmanned them. Like it was a physical game where the Steelers just kind of, I'll say it, wanted it more and Freddie Kitchens did a classic Freddie Kitchens where he came out and was like, Hey, we're going to run the ball. And then the second half just stopped. Yeah. I don't know.

And not because they were down. It was a tie game at half. And Devlin Hodges making that pass at the end of the half when they couldn't really move the ball. That felt like a dagger. But man, the Browns, like Browns fans know what I'm saying when I say that. Like this is the Steelers winning this game with their third string quarterback and missing players all over the field is just so classic Pittsburgh versus Cleveland.

Right. If the Browns were on the right track right now, they would have won this game by 20. Correct. But they're not on the right. They've got Freddie Kitchens fighting in eternal battle that he'll never win or lose against his own mind. Yes. So that's it's not going to end up. Well, watching him defend his shirt to the Pittsburgh started shirt. Yeah. After the game, it was like to just say that you say that you probably

should have worn that shirt. Yeah. But that's also a pretty kitchen. He doesn't even realize what he's doing. How about Marquis Pouncey getting the game ball while suspended? That was pretty cool. They love that message to kids. Yep. That if you get into a fight, you get rewarded. No, a good message to defend your quarterback, even if he is Mason Rudol,

even if he's Mason Rudol, if you don't like it, no matter what. Mike Tomlin is a coach of the year. So we could make arguments for a lot of different coaches. But I'm saying Mike Tomlin is a coach of the year. OK, because what the steel and we have made fun of Mike Tomlin a lot on this podcast, so I think it's only fair to say when he's doing a great job and what he's done this year has been a fantastic job. The fact that the Steelers with the September they had with even going back

to Antonio Brown and leaving on Bell in the offseason in like everything falling apart last year into this year, Ben getting hurt. Mason Rudolph being a fuckhead going to their third string quarterback who is has moxie out of his ears. I think he's a coach of the year with what he's done with this team. I cannot believe that they are in the playoffs as of right now. And, you know, if they take care of business down the stretch will be the six seat. I cannot believe that.

I would like to go back and retroactively award coach of the year to Mike Tomlin for the job that he did last year and the year before, keeping Leveon Bell and Antonio Brown somewhat coherently together on the same page on that team, like knowing what we know now about Antonio Brown. The fact that none of this stuff was public. The fact that Antonio Brown, I guess, just now discovered how to use Twitter. Yeah, this offseason. And it's a perfect lesson for like fans.

And I include myself as obviously a fan to when we think we know everything, we don't know anything because we all were making the Mike Tomlin jokes. We all were saying Mike Tomlin is running a circus and he has lost a locker room. No control of anything. And then he puts together a year like this year and you're like, whoa, he's got these guys believing no matter what. Yeah, he actually he knew better than anybody else where that locker is incredible the entire time.

Yeah, I made one note here about duck. Congratulations to duck. By the way, so much moxie moxie. Our moxie king, our moxie king, like nine point nine on the Daltometer nine nine point nine Daltons on the moxie meter. Yep. Moxie meter. I think you got whatever it is. Saying typing duck fucks is very hard to do with auto correct.

Yeah, very hard. That's like level 10 challenge. Yes. Getting that all right on the first time. He's also just a little quick saber metric for you. Duck two and oh and his first starts as Steelers quarterback. You know, who else went to an all first two starts Steelers quarterback? Big Ben. Big Ben. So duck's probably going to win two Super Bowls minimum.

I like that. December 15th, Bill Steelers prime time. Whoa, weird flex. But OK. Oh, nice. Where in Pittsburgh, they won't let people bring in duck calling like devices. I think that's probably. That's a very upset Vizela law from South Africa. Yeah, that could go south very quickly.

Yeah, it would be electric, though. It would be electric, but I we already have one Mississippi state where those stupid cowbells we don't need just random noises. But that that's awesome that those like Steelers bills and the Steelers are so different than the Steelers of the past because they're now like a plucky underdog and their their defense. I love their I've been in love with their defense for a while now. It's Bud Dupri, all time football name, T.J.

Watt, he's a Watt. Benny Snell is also great. Benny Snell, great. And and and Javon Hargrave, great football name. Like they got guys that if you just say their names like Bud Dupri, you want to fuck with Bud Dupri? No, no, no, no, no, no. Thank you. Also, make if it's Patrick is still playing really well. Yep. It's crazy. An intimidating name.

Make it. Patrick is not an intimidating name. No, it implies a certain sleepiness. No, no, no. What if it was make if it's magic? A little bit more intimidating just because you don't know what's going to happen. Also, listen to Hank saying what isn't an intimidating name, Henry. Are you still mad about? Yes, so I just want to let everyone know I was still mad about it. OK, all right.

Yeah, so Steelers going to make a run in it. What is the Steelers? Let's see. Let's see real quick what what the rest of their schedule is, because I think they have a couple of tough games. But if they make the playoffs while you're looking this up, I I just want to say I was very disappointed that there was an actual fight during the game. I know I was mad that there wasn't even like a brawl. There was no helmet swinging. It felt off.

Yeah, it did. It felt off. All right. So they have they're at the Cardinals. I would say that's going to be a win. And then they have the Bills in prime time and then at the Jets. So they they could, you know, the Bills are at home. We could be looking at a 10 and five Steelers team in a few weeks with a week 16 game or 17 game against the Ravens, so probably lose. But that's crazy.

Well, the one saving grace for the Browns is I don't think that Freddie Kitchens is getting fired after this game. He should. He's not going to, though. They're going to keep him around for other games, not this game. Cumulatively. Well, this game, too. On aggregate, he's reached the point of firing. You can't have your team get outmanned. OK. Yeah, I'll give you that.

You can't. If it when it's time to put your nuts on the table. Correct. And your Dragoners just did that to them like they manned up and they don't have I mean, they did it with they don't have any wide receivers. They don't have it like Benny Snell is good. I liked him in Kentucky, but he's not James Conner. James Washington is not bad, though. James Washington is not bad. Like he went hunting with duck before the game.

But they're in their center and they're missing all these guys. And they're just like, you know what? Fuck it, we're still going to win this game. Let's just do and be legends. Let's just let's just go full send on the Browns. But again, it's why the Steelers are Steelers. The Browns, the Browns. It hurts, but it's the truth until the Browns can change the narrative.

Maybe next year. But this is Browns fans are sitting nodding right now. They're probably crying a little bit, but they're also nodding. You know what? You're Ohio State fans. You're fine. Yeah, you'll be getting a little few. The few Browns fans that are not Ohio State fans. This is messages for you. I'm sorry. It is kind of nice, though, that the Steelers fans

also have to deal with being Pirates fans. Yeah. And being University of Pittsburgh fans. Yes, that's true. It's God's way of balancing. And not have an NBA team. Yeah, you can't. They wouldn't. It's the most popular sport in the world. They wouldn't go to an NBA. Yeah, it is like the ratings.

The only, you know, New England is really the only place that has like everything. If you're a Red Sox fan, you're also a Celtics fan. Well, I guess Washington, D.C. You get to be a Mystics fan, a Nationals fan and a Capitalist fans. And Boston has to share the Patriots with the other five states of New England. That's true. There's Connecticut people that are like also yank.

Or they're like, yeah, they're Yankees and Mets or whatever. Who would you are? The other New England states, who would you say gets like first dibs to the to the red or not to the Red Sox, but to the Patriots after Boston and Massachusetts does? New Hampshire. I mean, everyone except for Connecticut. Connecticut, there's too many. That's right. Rhode Island.

5050s. Yeah, Rhode Island. New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island. They're all real ones. Yeah, Rhode. Connecticut can kick rocks. The Ruffin, Rowdy and Rhode Island was shout out to the Brain Trust at Barstool. And I I probably am included in that because I sit in some of these meetings, but we served tall boys at a Ruffin, Rowdy in Providence, Rhode Island, and they became missiles, missiles.

All right, Redskins Panthers. The Redskins are hot. They have a two game winning streak. The bare minimum required for a win to be hot. But yes, talk about manned up football. They ran the ball all over the Panthers. And then they did the exact same thing on the other side of the ball, where they sacked Kyle Island seven times.

They manned up and Dwayne Haskins keeps showing very small incremental signs of improving a little bit by the end of the year. He's going to go like 16 for 30 and one touchdown and no interceptions and not take a selfie after the game. Yeah, he didn't take a selfie. He didn't take any plays off this time. He got to hand the ball off to Darius Geis, who's an all time. I'm so happy to watch that player playing well guy.

Yep, because he's been injured his entire career so far. This was also one of those classic games that just snuck up on everyone because the Panthers came out hot. And you're like, OK, cool. Don't have to think about this game. Panthers easy. They won. And then all of a sudden the Redskins are just hanging around, hanging around.

And now the Panthers are coming for that crown with the chargers. Chargers still on top. But I feel like and someone can fact check me. I feel like half of the Panthers games this year have ended on goal line situations where with like five seconds left, they're on the goal line. They just need to score. And they just can't do it. I know what happened in that two that Thursday night game.

Which Christian McCaffrey went out of bounds. Yep. And the Packers. Yeah, true. And so that's at least three, at least three times they have just ended a game like first and goal on the five yard line can't get in. Yeah, the Panthers, they don't look good. I'm hopeful. Well, this is actually the most Redskins thing of all time.

If they put together a little winning streak at the end of the year here. And let's say they end six and 10. But they're showing signs of improvement that Bruce Allen gets to come back next year. Oh, he's definitely coming back. And enjoy more winning off the field during the year. That's actually they should fire him at the start of the year. So we can continue winning in the off season and doing all the other things. I saw a report that Dan Snyder said nothing is off the table for changes

in the off season, including selling the team, including the numerous dozens of fans demanded from a hilarious one. An owner says that when they're like halfway through the season. Like, you know what? No one's safe. But actually, probably everyone who sucks your dick all the time and like ball washes you is very much. Well, another thing is Dan Snyder said that.

Well, not not Dan Snyder. Callahan said that they're going to look into getting an analytics department. Wow. So they are there. Watch out. Coming into the 21st century, 20 years too late. Hell, that's fine. Better, better late than never is what I always say. But people forget that they they were the first NFL team to hire an analytics department and then the guy quit after like a week.

He's like, these guys and he was like, these guys are such idiots. I can't do this. Can't cannot work with Dan Snyder. All right. So the Redskins are still alive. The Panthers are very much dead. Well, here's here's the path to the playoffs for the Redskins. It's very simple.

You know, very simple. You got to win out. You got to hope that the Eagles lose out. You got to hope that the Cowboys lose out and then you got to hope that the Cowboys and the Eagles tie when they play each other. So I'm rooting for it. It's it could happen. Chaos. I'm not saying that it's going to happen.

Chaos. I'm saying it's very likely that it will happen. You are your two wins away from being two wins in the Eagles Cowboys tie away from being in the hunt graphic. How? Well, no, we are technically in the right now. We are officially not mathematically eliminated. It's someone who's like at the top of the in the hunt and it's thrilling every time they show it. You're not listening.

I don't have an analytics department. I can't tell you if we're technically in the hunt or not. But it feels like I've taken a screen grab like 17 times in the last two weeks of the Bears in the hunt. It feels like we're less out of the hunt than we were last week. Yes. You're you. You've grabbed your rifle. We pack. You have your rifle and your hunting dog.

You're not out the door yet. We packed a cooler. We packed the Yeti up for our friends that are going out to hunt and we're like, you come back and we'll cook up whatever you guys can. I've been walking in the woods with my beagle for like three weeks. You're lost. Yeah. You're going in. We don't know where we are. But we think we're in the hunt.

Yeah, you're like you're if you know bullets in our gun. Yeah, you're like the hatchet. You are you have to be in the hunt to survive. You're peeing on logs and you're learning how to trap bugs. We're good. We're in the hunt. All right. Before we do Bucks Jags PFT, you want to talk to us quickly about Peloton because usually I would do this, but you are the Peloton guy.

And you do the are we going to get a halftime show? I don't know if we're going to halftime show because we're doing the telethon for Cyber Monday through Cyber Monday. Shout out Cyber Monday. We have probably the greatest track suits we've ever created. Umbros, umbros tracksuits. They look awesome and a ton of new gear. Cyber Monday.

So if you want to get a Lamar Jackson elite shirt, now's the time. We have some shirts that are basically they're gone. Once they're gone, they're gone forever. Gone forever. A hundred of those left in stock. Get those 20 percent off Cyber Monday.

Guarantee by Hank, you have to tweet Hank, if you don't get it. He is in charge of shipping now. So I don't know if I'm going to be doing the Peloton half time show for Monday football. If I'm not, I'll try to bring it back the following week. OK. But I I've been on my Peloton a lot this year. It's been really it's a great work out. I've lost probably like 10, 12 pounds, and it's mostly because I'm doing this Peloton. It's in my living room. It's perfect.

I don't have to worry about walking to the gym. I don't have to worry about bringing an extra set of clothes. It's right there. I can work out on it. I can hop in the shower and I can get on the subway and come to work in the morning. It's a great workout.

It's a gift that they're going to keep on using with an endless variety of

entertaining live and on demand classes, plus motivation for world class instructors. It's the gift that keeps them coming back well beyond the holiday season. It's great because I can get on there. I can do a live class if I wake up early enough. I can hop in like the 7 30 a.m. class or if I don't make it on time, I can go and take a class from their library that they have set up of hundreds and hundreds of courses so I can just press start. Boom. I feel like I'm in a class.

I wanted to quickly talk about Nick Foles and maybe the strangest NFL career we've ever seen and we ever will see, okay? So Nick Foles got benched today for Gardner Minshew.

And rightfully so. He had three turnovers on the first three possessions for the Jaguars. The last guy to do that, Mike Glenn in week two for the Bears in 2017. Really bad. Really, really bad. Nick Foles is now, he has gotten benched for Gardner Minshew. He transferred schools because of Kirk Cousins. He got hurt, but he got replaced by Mark Sanchez in 2014.

He got benched for Case Keenum. He came in for Alex Smith and lost the job back to Alex Smith 2016. He won a Super Bowl. He went a season where he went 27 touchdowns and two interceptions in 13 games played. He's made $62 million, 120 if he goes throughout his whole contract that he signed with the Jaguars. And I think he just stinks. He's bad.

He's like, when he puts on the Eagles jersey, he's like Tony Stark, RIP, my dog, getting into the Iron Man costume, right? When he's got that core, when he's got, when he's wearing that uniform, for some reason, he's very, very good. And all other times, he's not good. So I went back, I thought about it. I was like, was Nick Foles ever really good? And the best I can come up with is even when he was good, every time he threw the ball,

it felt like he was just very, very lucky. He, that 27 touchdown, two interception year, which was phenomenal for him the whole time. We all were like, wait, that, this isn't, this isn't actually going to happen. And they, and they still were like looking for someone else like we, he's not the franchise quarterback after 27 touchdowns and two interceptions. I forgot to add. So he stinks. He's had a ridiculous career where he's been benched or replaced or transferred for like

not good quarterbacks. He's got a statue of himself and Philly and he has a enormous penis that is like stuff of legends, but he stinks at quarterback. He has the weirdest career in NFL history. Right. He's like, if Paul Bunyan was a really shitty lumberjack, but he, but he cut down one great tree that dammed the Mississippi River and that's it. One giant, giant, enormous log of a tree.

I looked at his stats, Nick falls. If you took out that, so the 27 touchdown, two interception year is crazy. When you think about it, Chip Kelly's offense for the Eagles, I think they lost to the saints in the playoffs. So insane year. He like had that blip where he's just crazy good. He had the blip where he wins a Super Bowl and he's crazy good and an insane run that no one could take away.

If you took out his 27 touchdown, two interception year, he's played 44 games. He's had 44 touchdowns and 32 interceptions. He stinks. Yeah. So he's not good. So what's going to happen? So Jacksonville, it looks like they're thinking about moving on if they haven't already made that decision and Gardner, when he got in the game, Moxie, Moxie looked really exciting

when he was playing. And this is not me bashing Nick falls because if anything, Nick falls is like people, kids should put, they shouldn't put, you know, Aaron Rogers or Tom Brady or Drew Brees posters up on their wall. They should put Nick falls because Nick falls is an average guy who has had momentary situations where he has reached great heights. And that is like, that's the American dream. So Nick falls might have, he might have found a genie's lamp and he might have used two

of his wishes already on particular seasons, probably going to win another Super Bowl at some point. We'll probably go back to Philadelphia. Oh, and I forgot to say he almost retired before he won the Super Bowl. And he gives probably the least inspiring press conferences of all time. He's, he is so confusing and at the same time such a model like citizen for anyone who is just an average and obviously he's not an average show because he's NFL quarterback. But in terms of like in context, he is completely averaged to below average at his profession,

but he has reached moments where he has been exceptional. It's one of those things where you just got a ride with it. If it's going well and you saw this back when they were on the Super Bowl run in Philadelphia, they had the locker room, the shrine set up for him where even his own teammates were like, I have no idea why this is working, but it's crazy. So let's just fucking lean into it. It's crazy. So yeah, he's, uh, I think he's got to be done, um, which if you're a Jags fan, I feel

like you have to take that shot where you bring them in for all that money. Hopefully he has one of those genie wishes, but then knowing that it's failed, you can't be that upset because you got Gardner Minshew. Right. If they didn't have Gardner Minshew, then you're sitting there as a Jags fan being like, are you serious? We did this. This is crazy.

But now I don't know what his contract is. I'm sure you can maybe trade him or, I don't know, I'd take him, I'd take him for the bears. Yeah. Just, just for the genie lamp. Hank, would you take him for the Patriots? Yeah. Genie lamp man.

Like you got one left. He is that guy. He's going to pop up, but, and this might be the gambler speaking to me, but I look at Nick Foles and I'm like, he stinks, but maybe, but he's also Nick Foles. He's Nick Foles. I don't know. Right. I don't know.

He could do it. Um, you think Doug Merone's in the hot seat? Yeah, probably. I hope he's not, but I think that he is. I think so. I think so. Cause Tom Coughlin, I think is, is just waiting. Tom Coughlin, what's with their said there's a lot of infighting going on between him and

Coughlin already. Yeah. I like today. I like your idea by the way, PFT of the Giants Packers game of them just showing shots of cold Tom Coughlin. Just nostalgia. Just superimpose him. Like just cut, cut away to Tom Coughlin staring into the wind.

Yeah. Tupac hologram. Yeah. Exactly. He should be in any snow game involving those two teams. Um, all right. So the other side of this game, the Bucks, the Bucks are in trouble, PFT. Because the Bucks, well, they've got a decision to make.

Well, and the Bucks are just good enough to do the old, we're building something here. And they have at times looked really good. And at times, their defense is like, awesome. Devin White was awesome today. Uh, Shaq Barrett, I think is leading the league or tied for the league in sacks. Like they have pieces that Mike Evans, Godwin, like, and James, the future Hall of Famer, they have enough pieces where you can sell yourself on a not good Bucks team growing to be a good team next year.

And the rest of their schedule, they have the Colts at home. They're at the Lions. They have the Texans at home and the Falcons at home. The Bucks are going to finish eight and eight. I could see them winning. They're going to finish. They're going to finish. I could also see them losing all four.

No, they're going to finish eight and eight. They are, I think they're what five and seven right now. They're going to go three and one down the stretch. They will beat the Colts, the Lions and the Falcons. They're going to go eight and eight and you're going to walk away. They will be one of those teams next year. As long as they keep future Hall of Famer, James Winston, where people will say the Bucks might make some noise and they have Vita Vaya and Vita Vaya who can do it all from like

they have dues being a blocking fullback to being a pass catching fullback. Right. He can Bruce and Bruce. They got Bruce and they got Bruce for another year. So but do you know how you know what I'm saying? Like this is the dangerous spot that NFL teams get in where if they can finish a season, well, they can sell themselves in their fan base. Shout out to Steven Shea.

I think he's the only Bucks fan alive. They can sell them on building something Hulk Hogan when it's all going to fall apart. You think that there are some people that just live in that pirate ship in the off season? Yes. I think there have to be. Right. Otherwise just a waste of decent real estate in Tampa. I think it's the Airbnb and Chris Perman gets it for at least one weekend in February.

That'd be sweet. Yeah. Lord willing. So yeah, I think the Bucks, I don't, I don't know if they're going to finish eight and eight. They probably end up maybe seven and nine. You know what I mean? They're so frustrating.

Yeah. They're so frustrated because they can appear like the best offensive team in the league at times. Yep. And they can appear as the worst offensive team in their defense. Their run defense is actually, I think statistically it might have changed in the last few weeks. For a while there, their run defense was the best in the league and their past defense was terrible.

We also invented a stat that we'll have to bring up in the future for the Bucks, which is the James Winston hat trick. Yep. He had three touchdowns and also has three turnovers, but he didn't have a single turnover today. Did he? I don't think so. I think he had a clean game.

He might have had a fumble. That's a pretty big and probably had a fumble. That's a pretty big. Hold on. Let me look. I'm pretty sure he had a fumble. You can't turn James Winston over. He had to have had a fumble.

There's no way he held the ball for the entire game. I think he did. It was in Jacksonville. Oh, it was in Jacksonville. Ooh. Maybe even a little home away from home. Oh, did they, did the Bucks, so the Bucks can claim state stake as the best team in Florida? I don't know.

I don't know. There's some Fitz magic going on down Miami. Yeah. And I don't, they don't play each other. So damn, that's too bad because I would like to see, I'd like to see the Florida Super Bowl. Maybe that's something also Felipe Franks is coming back to the University of Florida, so they might be better.

Felipe Franks. Fuck that guy. He's so bad. Do you see the anti-vaxxers? There was a big line of anti-vaxxers, your people outside of Jacksonville Stadium just holding up signs saying don't vaccinate your kids, which is that's a very dangerous place when people are walking into that pool in the Jaguar Stadium to tell you not to be up to down there.

Well, isn't that itself a vaccination? By swimming in that pool, there's so many diseases that you vaccinate yourself. You get a mouthful of denim water. If you just swallow that water, that's as good as a flu shot. Yeah. Well, it definitely inoculates you against one or two hepatitis. Just stat check. James Winston did in fact lose a fumble.

Okay. All right. All right. That's a good litmus test though. If you're unable to turn James Winston over a single time, at least once he has to turn it over. By the way, Nick falls back to him just one last time. He looks, I don't know what it is, but in the Jags uniform and maybe it's the heat.

He just looks slow like and he, there was a few times where he got sacked where he just couldn't move. He just got sacked and he saw it coming from a mile away and just kind of fell into it after the game to I'm telling you, I don't know if you've seen these press conferences that he's been giving after losses in the middle of a week when the press is asking him about his previous loss and some bad passes that he's thrown. He just seems like he's got loads. He might have mono.

Yeah. Nick falls might have mono. I'm going to put that out there because I've never seen a quarterback that's more sleepy than he is. Most of the most fascinating career I think we'll ever see. Yeah. Like in terms of just all over the place, I can't remember a guy who has this type of ceiling and floor and just at the end of the day, you're like, he sucks, but well, it's

like James Winston in a single game. Yeah. If you just stretched out one James Winston game for like six or seven years, that's Nick Falls. His career. That is Nick Falls career. All right. Last or no, sorry.

Next game we have Niners Ravens, the best game or what was said to be the best game of the one o'clock's Ravens win 20 to 17. I have a question for you, PFD. It's the C key question promo code take. You put in promo code take you get $10 off C key purchase. How much do you think Justin Tucker is worth if you were trying to trade trade him or trade for him? What team?

Am I the Bears? Any team six first round picks if I'm the Bears, he his value as a kicker is so off the charts that game like it was a sloppy game in both quarterbacks and Lamar, it was clear the 49ers were like, we're going to stop the pass and the running backs and let Lamar kind of beat us with his feet, which he did. But with six minutes left, the Ravens got the ball and they didn't give it back and they got into field goal range with like two 30 left. They're like, you know what, Justin Tucker's got this no problem.

He has now hit 38 straight fourth quarter field goals and he's worth like he his value is that of a position player in my mind. And he can sing opera and he sings it in six different languages. He's insane though. It is a very good luxury having a kicker like that. It's it's a game changer. I think he's actually worth the first round pick. Yeah, if you're a team that's on the cusp, you might not have a good kicker.

They're always in field goal range. They always know that like this game is a perfect example where if you don't, if you have any other kicker in the NFL, besides Justin Tucker, the end of the game looks completely different. But with Justin Tucker, they get the ball back. They get like with two 34 left. I think they got on the 49er side of the field. They ran so conservative from that point on being like, we're already kind of in field goal range and he's definitely going to make it.

And he for some reason, he never seems like he's wound up on the sidelines. He never seems like after the game, when he when he makes a kick, he does seem very amped up and he'll celebrate. He'll like run around, but before a kick, he's just he kind of seems stoned. And they all go exactly the same spot. Right down the middle. They go the exact same spot. I've never seen anything like it.

And they're incredible. And every single Justin Tucker kick would have been good from 15 yards farther out than where he actually. It doesn't matter if it's a 40 yarder or if it's a 57 yarder. It's always 15 extra yards on the end of it. And I know we said all this. I'm sure he'll miss a huge kick in the playoffs. But the Ravens like they're we talked about last week, but they're a cheat code at this

point because they did finally punt. But for a while there, they just weren't punting and they had Justin Tucker to supplant, you know, supplement. Sorry, Lamar Jackson and that running offense. That's insane. Did you hear the new stat that Florida is coming up with? No, the double triple. Yeah, Lamar had another double triple today.

He had a hundred yards rushing and a hundred yards passing. The double, even though it was like 105 and then one on one or something like that. That's a stupid. The double triple. Florious. Let's. OK, all right. That's a cool step.

Great start. Yeah, you're getting a little stir crazy. So the big thing though, outside of Justin Tucker that I took away from this game, people were talking about how this was a Super Bowl preview. Earl Thomas, you know, got asked that question before the game or during the week. If this is a Super Bowl preview, I feel like both of their weaknesses came out more than their strengths. Yeah, this is this is how you beat the 49ers is you make Jimmy Garoppolo throw the ball.

You make Jimmy Garoppolo throw from the pocket. You make him come from behind. Yes. And then you should be good because he telegraphs his passes a little bit. He's very easy to read as a defense. So I think that's that's probably how you're going to beat him. It was such a classic, like if Jimmy Garoppolo plays a little bit above average, they could probably win this game.

And that's kind of what you need. Like the 49ers have everything else in place that if Jimmy Garoppolo can elevate his game 10 percent, they become almost unbeatable. And then on the other side, the Ravens run defense is what I've always kind of thrown out there is like, hey, if you want to pick one thing there, they got gashed. They were he more. How do you say his last name? Moster were he moster?

I love I fucking love Kyle Shanahan. He's just pick your poison. Just throw a bunch of guys out there. He had a 7.7 yards average per carry, 146 yards on 19 carries. Like you there are teams that can run on the Ravens. And if you're a Ravens fan, you're probably probably going to get mad at me. But you also probably know the truth here that their offense is lights out. Lamar Jackson is incredible.

Justin Tucker is incredible. Their defense at times can get run on. Also, we were talking about Justin Tucker and singing earlier. I don't know if you've noticed this, but Lamar Jackson has such a smooth, unusual voice. Yeah, I want to hear how he sounds when he tries to sing. Yeah, I think he could have like a nice sleepy brown type gravelly sound to his voice. I was I was listening to it and trying to figure out what it was a mix between. Usually for me, it's always a mix between Pat Mahomes and Mike Greenberg.

Yep, but maybe a little Jerry Jones. But I actually think that it was a mix between Patrick Mahomes and Mike Greenberg. In this case, I actually think that it does play. But yeah, you're right. So the 49ers on offense, when they don't have Breda, they can just have most of it run the ball all around. They just put a foot in the ground and then you get downfield and the holes are always there. Right. And Kittle is a really good block.

Oh, yeah, he's probably like top three blocking tight ends and top three pass catching tight ends. He's an absolute beast. Greg Kittle, Pro Bowl vote, tweet it, hashtag Greg Kittle. You have to say Greg underscore Kittle, Kittle, Pro Bowl. But yeah, I mean, the Ravens deserve the credit for winning this game and doing it in like it was ugly in the second half because it was raining and no one could pass it downfield and they seem to just find a way. It's it's funny because when as stupid as this sounds, when a team goes

on a roll like the Ravens are on and they just kick the shit out of teams, you almost feel like something's off because that just doesn't happen every week in the NFL. So you want to see them win a game like today to be like, OK, they can do it both ways. Yeah, it makes no sense. Like, of course, you just rather beat teams by four touchdowns every week. But you watch the Ravens beat teams by four touchdowns every week. Like, can they win a close game?

Yeah, they can because they have a fucking unreal kicker and an unstoppable run game. I've got a formula to beat the Ravens. OK, this one tackle. One, play them in the exact same conditions that today's game was in. Yep. Two, don't crash down on Ingram at all. And just let Mark Ingram run the ball for 150 yards in the first half and hope that he gets tired. Yeah. And then just like little choppy.

Keep your yeah, keep your defensive ends out on Lamar Jackson when he's doing his little zone reads. Play the exact same defense you were in the back end, whatever that is. I don't know. I'm not a scientist. But don't crash down on Ingram, let him get tired and then just hope to God that in the second half, he doesn't gas you as bad as in the first. I have another way. Just scream at the TV for four straight hours.

Why aren't we Cubie spying them? Yep, because that's the best when you can just pretend that you know how to run a defense against Lamar Jackson because you play Madden and do Cubie Scott spy. Just have your slow ass middle line where the hell is our Cubie spy? Try to run laterally with Lamar Jackson. He actually is breaking ankles. He breaks ankles full on breaks. Also want to give a shout out to RG three in the post game.

Yes, yes, Kyle Shannon. He was like, I'm going to shake this guy's fucking hand. Come hell or high water. Yes. And he put him with he had him with a stiff arm, the Heisman stiff arm and then just put his hand in Shanahan's hand. It was like that over the top hand shake. It was the it was the meme. Yes, the new meme is now Kyle Shanahan and Robert Griffin shaking hands.

And they're both saying, fuck the Redskins. Yes. So if this was a preview for the Super Bowl, I'm down for it because it was awesome. And I'd like to see it be be played in maybe not rainy conditions like this, but we'll be in Miami, so maybe it will be rain conditions. All right, we have three more games the afternoon games. Chiefs Raiders, Andy Reid, off a bye. Andy Reid, off a bye. Andy Reid, off a bye.

This is easy. It's the easiest thing in the world. I bet on this last Sunday, I think last Sunday night when we were talking about Andy Reid coming off a bye, Andy Reid, off a bye. And Andy Reid coming off a diner's drive-ins and dives to that nice show in Guy Fieri, some nice, nice juicy bites of the Kansas City burgers. That is like the peak of American culture right there. You know, when they look back and they're like, oh, yeah,

like Michelangelo and Monet and I'm just saying names that I don't even know what the peak. No, those are those are the ones. But that Monet Monet Monet, Monet, you know, dude, Lily Pads Impressionists. Come on, Frank Callienda. Get some culture. Fun fact. I went to the Monet Museum line was too long. So I got an ice cream and went and left. You basically saw it all.

If you're standing far away, it actually looks better. So you got the true essence. I was a big time when I went to France, just see the line being really long, like Notre Dame when everyone was tweeting like, oh, my gosh, the Notre Dame Cathedral is is burning. This is my picture with it. I didn't have one because the line was too long. So I just looked at it and left.

Yeah. Well, I did that kind of with a Mona Lisa. The Mona Lisa culture. We're cultured. We're cultured. Fuck the Mona Lisa. I would rather watch a snow football game 10 times out of 10. And look at that stupid fucking by 10 painting. Yeah, we got cultured as podcast. So anyway, that Andy Reid and Guy Fieri was the peak. That was when you could note, like right on a map,

that's when American culture peaked. Everything after that has is going down. It would be very sad. Yes. Yes. That's a watershed moment. It is a textbook. It is. All right. So yeah, the John Gruden, we got like angry, cold, John Gruden today. And as you see, the reversal where he he claimed to change the game when he was already down 24, nothing,

but he claims that the pass interference call that turned over an interception in the end zone that the Raiders had was a call made by wizard, a wizard of Oz or something. So the sky judge, he's he's mad behind the curtain, mad at someone. The exact quote is we had an interception. We thought we did intercept that was turned over by the wizard of Oz or somebody. OK, all right, I'm trying to put that together. So has John Gruden seen the Wizard of Oz?

Yeah, definitely got high. I linked it up with Dark Side of the Moon. You think so? Yeah. I don't think. I think John Gruden got actually high. Jay probably slipped him like a brownie. He probably thinks a deuce is an Oompa Loompa. Yeah, he slipped out. He tried to put. Wait, no, that's that's Charlie in the chocolate factory.

Oh, yeah, good call. I was like, wait, did he try to put deuce in the chocolate river? Wait, that's a different. Yeah, also different. So that's OK. So John Gruden has. He's got his quarterback library where he's got all the VHS tapes because he's the last person on earth with a cassette player in his house. And they're all like game film of Baylor Games from 1999 or whatever. We wanted to highlight one little like route option that was put into the system.

Yeah. And then he's got Dark Side of the Moon on on on a CD. Yeah. And right next to it, he's got a cassette of The Wizard of Oz. And that's the only movie that he's ever seen. And it's just a picture of Al Riberon's face slowly morphing. The son of a bitch. She's like, that motherfucker fucked us. I did notice that his face was frozen more often today than than it was moving. He was not happy.

Derek Carr, the relationship, it is awkward that those two have a house next to each other in Las Vegas because I feel like that's going to. It's it's it was trending up for a while there. It looked great. And the last few weeks is not look so great. Derek Carr has definitely come over and asked to borrow some inappropriate shit. Just no, he's he's definitely come over to ask for something that you can blatantly see in his garage.

So you realize he's just asking for conversation. He's like, hey, can I borrow, you know, like your your shovel real quick? And he's got like six shovels on a rack in his garage. Like, dude, it's like, well, I just wanted to see like if you're going to watch the game later. I think he might be one of those guys. It's like a roommate that you've had that's too comfortable borrowing like your personal effects. So hey, you got any nose spray?

Yeah, that I can also use in my nostril. Yeah, I wore your underwear by accident. Yeah, sorry. The same kind of me on these. Yeah, sorry. Our undies got mixed up in the laundry and we're there. We got two different machines. Yeah, it's weird.

Yeah, those are the vibes. I did it. My bad. All right. So that game, the Raiders are done. They're done. Done, chained them. The Broncos and the Chargers. I don't really know at this point what's happening. The fact that like we make this joke, but it really is crazy

that the Chargers play the exact same game every single Sunday after it. It is. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's nice to know that some things in this life are constant. They got screwed by a PI. Andy Reid after a bi-week. Yep. Thanksgiving. You're always going to have one racist uncle that you have to tweet about to get content.

And then Phillip Rivers is going to be down by a score late in the fourth quarter. And you're going to be sitting there watching and be like, wait, didn't we do this last week and the week before and the week before? I thought this was going to be the week that Phil Rivers got benched because do you see that report that they might do it? And they kind of benched him. They stuck their toe in the benching. Yeah, Rivers water.

Yeah, because they put Tarad in at quarterback and they put Rivers out at wide receiver. But then they ran a play where Rivers got to throw a forward pass as a wide receiver. Yes. Yeah. So they're like sending the slowest message possible to Phillip Rivers. Like, eventually, if you keep fucking up, we might not. We might only have you run the ball. Yeah, they did.

They're like, what if we have your thought about like an open relationship? Like, we'll still stay together. But throwing out there. Yeah, just like you see people we not date, but, you know, strictly physical that kind of stuff. Yeah. So Brandon or sorry, Drew Lock, maybe. Yeah, I like Drew Lock. You know what?

He's lucky at all the right times. Yeah, you have to be able to be really lucky. At the perfect instances in the NFL, like Nick Foles was really good at being lucky for a long extended season. Yeah, Drew Lock looks like he's got the mojo. You remember at the senior bowl, he gave the scout the double finger guns when he answered the questions at the podium. So he's got some moxie to him.

Yeah, I think that they probably should have overturned that first Cortland Sutton touchdown catch. But that was one of those instances where it was like that was a cool enough play where it would be a criminal turn over. Got to let it go. I do the Broncos have the parent seats that they show during the game for the new quarterback, because I'm pretty sure Drew Lock's parents were sitting in the exact same seats that Brandon

Allen's parents were sitting in and doing the exact same thing where they would just show them after he made one good play and be like, this is it. This is the moment. Yeah. So are those designated seats? I think so. It's like where Michael Phelps mom used to always sit during the swim. Yeah. Yeah. So that's I think that they do have starting quarterbacks mom's

Brandon Allen's parents that they show up today and they're like, oh, this is awkward. Yeah, they were in the seats and then Drew Lock's parents came down. There was like, well, no, look at ours. Yeah, look at the look at the look at the starting quarterback. Yeah, your seats are actually 300 directly behind John always asked. Yeah, you have to fart on you. You have to sit with Joe Flacco and his seven kids.

Yeah. So sorry. All right, last up before we do a little who's back and Thanksgiving recap. We have was last game. Oh, Jair Gossback. Big time. That's pretty much it. And Blake Bordel's got it and played well. Blake Bordel's got it and played great.

So yeah, this was the finally the Rams. This was the Oh, that's the Rams again. Are we going to say anything nice about Kyler Murray today? Because I feel like he's he's been very tough to judge. I turn on these Sunday shows and then there's always somebody that's saying that Kyler Murray is a superstar. Yeah. Or that he's going to be great.

And then there are games like this where he doesn't play well. Well, what they need to do is they need to make a rule where if you have a new coach and new quarterback and you're not going to make the playoffs, you can end the season at any point that you want. So after Kyler Murray's last good game, they can be like, we're done. We're done with this season. We're not going to play any more games. Let's end on a high note, because this always seems to happen where

like you'll have the rookie quarterback who has moments. And then as the season goes along in December hits, they're like, oh, they sometimes he kind of sucks. And this is kind of a bummer. Sometimes they just need to be able to end on a high note. If you you can just forfeit the rest of the season and say, we end on a high note. Let's we're excited for next year, guys. Yeah. The only note I made here.

And I guess the Cardinals have had their they've had a couple of games where they could have ended the season, where Kyler Murray looked really, really good. Right. Today was not that day. They might get another one in the next couple of years. I mean, what's their schedule? Were they they were off a buy, which is pretty inexcusable for being that bad. Well, yeah, with the Arizona Cardinals, it's like I don't remember when they last played because they're kind of inconsequential just in general.

But Thursday game, I don't know. They're stadium. No, Jim. Their stadium looks like it'd be very comfortable to get tackled in. Yes. Their grass looks extremely soft. It actually is because they wheel it in and out. If I had to pick one place to get ran over by Derek Henry, one stadium would probably be in Scottsdale or whatever it is. Yeah. No, it's true. It's actually a great point.

It looks always looks a little moist and very lush. And yeah, that's that's a good way to end that game. Yeah. Yeah, there you go. All right. You got a quick ad before we do Thanksgiving recap, and then we can end with some who's back in college football recap. You know, I want to talk about Brave.

McCarron pulled the T.D. play from the Bears. Oh, OK. So Matt Nagy, maybe some coach of the year. Oh, big deal. No big deal. But if you sat there and said, hey, could you imagine if Mitch Trubiski

could do this play? Well, he did. He did it on a two point conversion. I was going to say I thought the cat stat was still alive, but it's not because the Bengals won the Bengals won. But also the team that they beat was on the field when the black cat came out. So there was a stat, right? Oh, no, no. That ran on the field. The cat teams were 0 and 12 from that point on. They're now one and 14.

Still not great. Still not great. I think we had this exact same stat, but it was about Mercury being in retrograde. All the cat teams were losing, but we were too dumb to put together the fact that it was also the black cat's appearance. Yeah, coinciding with Mercury going into record. Also, while we're on just weird animal things, Swagger Jr. Probably an AWL because he got a little ahead of himself after we called his dad a loser and him a winner.

He's a loser. Dad's a loser, but so is he. Yeah, well, he's not a loser. You've got to beat the Steelers. You've got to beat the Steelers if you want to be a winner. He's still winning. No, you're a loser. Two and one. You're only as good as your last game. Yeah. So step it up or it's off the glue factory, buddy. Quick Thanksgiving recap, because that happened. Those games happened, but it happened forever ago.

I just wrote down three quick things. I'm all the way back in on Mitch, as you probably guessed. I did guess that. Let me say it is. It is great to watch. It was good on Sunday. When you see the fantasy update at the bottom of the screen for the first half hour, it was like Mitch Trebisky.

Number one, he was good. That last drive, he was good and people say it's the lines. I don't give a fuck. I'm also like Matt Nagy and Mitch Trebisky. I'm in the camp now and this is very reactive of me. But just keep the same thing next year, because I've convinced myself whatever they've shown a couple of times where it's like, maybe that was what last year was like was that just do it again next year.

And then if next year sucks, tear the whole fucking thing. You're going to future you. This is the ultimate future problem that you're putting on right now. You're saying, oh, I'll deal with another 16 games of this duo that has made my life a living hell. If they lose the Cowboys on Thursday, I'll be seeing a very different tune. OK, so it's all based on how you're feeling right. You're right. Very much in the moment, day to day, week to week

feeling here where I'm back in, dare I say, Portal Game on Thursday. It is. Yeah, you can say that. You're starting to hunt. Maybe above 500. I can just picture you on Thursday morning. You're getting ready for Thanksgiving. You're probably sipping a little champagne, watching the bears beat the lions. You're like you're on cloud nine. You're like, this is it. This is it.

This is the team. They're putting it all together. I also threw out a stat that I don't think anyone got what I was getting at. But I was like teams that are above 500 this late in the season, like the majority of teams above 500 this late in the season go to the playoffs. That's that's a fact over 50 percent. Yeah. So OK, there you go. Just ride with us. Hey, we're going to ride with it. The Cowboys, on the other hand, they stink.

Was this a case of the Cowboys stinking or the Buffalo Bills being a juggernaut? No, the bills are very good. I think the bills. I think Josh Allen is creeping into that. I don't know. We haven't labeled our tears yet. I keep saying we have to label. Yeah. Quarterback tears. Josh Allen could win you a Super Bowl. It is crazy that people don't talk about Josh Allen the way that we like Baker got the same thing that Sam Donald has gotten at times.

Josh Allen is good. He is good. And the bills, something's changed with their offense where they have just clicked in the last. I think they sent their offensive coordinator up to the booth, which is always a great football guy move. Got to see a bet. Got to get a better angle. Yeah. When you send your guy up to the booth, he has to go with usually three things go alongside with him.

One, a water bottle to a mystery cup that's just filled with dipspit and then three, like four pencils that he never picks up. Yeah. And like 16 Diet Cokes. Yeah. Yeah. Diet Coke. You're right. Diet Coke, water and then mystery cup that's just filled to the brim with school. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, Josh Allen, like he's accurate. Their their defense is rolling.

Their offense is looking great. The bills, I'm so happy for Buffalo. Like I have a couple of friends from Buffalo and they're like, this is the biggest win of my lifetime. It's like Thanksgiving, Cowboys. They're nine and three. Awesome. It's like the highest rated CBS game in a long, long in years. The vibes are awesome.

And you're going down, Gary. That guy confirmed alive. There was rumors that he was dead. Confirmed that he was dead. Confirmed that he's alive. Right. Right. So he's back from the dead, literally. Literally back from the dead. I did an interview on like NPR like last week.

He was dead sober during that rant, which is crazy. That's the type of fan. He's just a diehard fan. That's the type of person that you get in Western New York. Love it. So he popped up on on Soviet sodium and table. And he said he was doing it to save. There was a little kid that was doing the interview.

Yeah, he was struggling. So he stepped in. He's the he's the Mochiks of Buffalo. Yeah, yeah, I like that. Beautiful as for the Cowboys. So I floated this theory before we started taping. But is there a chance that we are getting absolutely bamboozled by Kirk Cousins and his quote unquote big wins this year?

Because now his big wins were against the Eagles. And prime time against the Cowboys. And I think both those teams might end up under 500. So then we just go back to the old Kirk Cousins stat where he never beats teams and above 500. So what what wins does he have this year over 500 teams? It's so the Bears are 500. I don't know if that's it's it's it's how they finish though.

That's right. That's what I'm saying. Like at the time, they might have been good. Right. So he it's just so funny how it's all like the NFL season is working out where these wins were like this is the Kirk Cousins win that finally did it. And then you realize the Cowboys are complete clusterfuck and they suck and the Eagles suck.

And what they still haven't beaten it. Correct. That's going to be over 500. They still haven't. So Kirk Cousins break out. All right. So they've got but they've got Seattle. So they'll play one team. They're going to lose tomorrow night.

They're going to play against Seattle. They'll get killed. They're going to play Green Bay later on the season. That will be the test. But it's so funny how he did this. It was genius. Just have the teams that you play be decent when you play them and have them suck the rest of the year.

He's like a very shitty version of King Midas where everything that he touches, everything that he beats turns to exactly average. Yes. The Vikings are going to go to the playoffs this year and they're going to and we're going to look back and be like, wait, Kirk Cousins, do we feel good about him? And then realize they just didn't beat anyone. Yeah.

All right. So I was right to put the dunch in on him. I guess. All right. So apology taken back taken back. Sorry, Kirk. And then I just apologize again. The last thing is the Saints clinched it, but we had the most electric moment in basically the season with the onside kicks.

Yeah. Young Way Coo is an onside kick specialist. Incredible. He's a fucking wizard. Incredible. Incredible. Three in a row. Three in a row and none of them were particularly close either.

No, he I don't know how. Can you use a roster spot on just you'd have to you'd have to do it like once a game because you couldn't just use it for the end of the games. But if he's that good, why not just have him on the team? Just do that. I think this week, Sean Payton is probably going to have Taysum Hill just like strapped to a chair like Clockwork Orange staring at film, teaching himself how to do the onside kick.

That was such a Taysum Hill game. Yes. I mean, he did everything. It blocked the punt, caught the pass through. He threw a touchdown. I think he threw a pass. I don't think through a pass ran for one. Yeah. Ridiculous. All right.

Let's do who's back of the week. And then we'll wrap up with some college football rivalry week. Hank, you want to do you start with your who's back of the week? Sure. I got a couple. My first one is Kerb. Yeah. Yeah. Your enthusiasm. No way. Tweeted out a teaser today. Larry David struggling with the toaster for two years.

Did some research is coming back in January. So that was a nice little like in the middle of a Sunday scaries after a long weekend. That was a nice little pick me up. Yep. And my other who's back is Christmas music. Yeah. OK. What's your Christmas music debates? Because like apparently Britain voted that Mariah Carey all I want for Christmas is you is the worst Christmas song.

Oh, so guess what, Britain? You have the worst Christmas song that Paul McCartney fucking song. Which one is that? That's the dong. Do they know it's Christmas? Simply have been a wonderful Christmas. Yeah, that is that song sucks. So throwing it right back at you. You got one PFT.

Well, give it. Give us a hot take. My who's back or my favorite Christmas song of all time. No, what's a popular Christmas song that sucks? Oh, I mean, that is probably the worst right now. It's all having a wonderful Christmas time. I don't think it gets any worse than that across the board. And it just plays so much. And it's all in your head over and over.

Simply have been a wonderful Christmas time. I'm not a big silent night guy. We'll we'll Mrs. Locke would be sending you an advent calendar this year. Well, when I went home last weekend for my vacation, she sent me home with two advent calendars. One for me. No. Oh, because I ate all of Hank's chocolates on the day one.

That's right. You just popped them all open. I mean, you can't do that to me. Yeah, I know the chocolates in there. He's like a dog. I see it. Like, come on, I want the chocolate. He just gets written around. And it was one of those classic situations where if you eat like five days, you might as well just eat them all

and just say someone came and ate all the chocolates. You can't leave 20 days, you know, with chocolates and five empty. So where is that? It's at my house. We'd be bringing in probably not. Please do. I'll think about it. Please bring it in by no later than the third day. I would like 22 chocolates. OK.

That that sucks that it stops at Christmas, too. Huh? What? Like the advent calendar. Yeah, we should have an advent calendar throughout the actually the whole year. An advent calendar for the entire year. You get instead of a word of the day, you just get a treat. One piece of chocolate every single day. We should get calendars that are just every other day, like when our shows are.

So we get chocolates every time we do a show. Oh, that's good. OK, I like that. We should get instead. We just get sugar free Red Bulls and a 75,000 dollar check week. Yeah, that's true. We can buy a lot of chocolate. We should sell part of my take advent calendars, but we just put like random things like a half eaten jolly rancher.

Just like a Wednesday and July around here. Yeah. Lint for my belly button. So just trash. We just sell trash. No, but some days like the first day back from the first football Monday is a big buffalo wing. OK, yeah, you're a couple. That was my third who's back at Cyber Monday. Oh, yeah, Monday night.

Check it out. Check it out tonight. My first who's back in the week is Coach K's health problems. Oh, yeah. Thoughts and prayers. I hope I hope he's OK. This is this is all right. No, no, but Hank, we want to Monday, right? This is come on. We want to send our best to coach K on Wednesday or Tuesday night.

You're making a podcast look bad. No, it was Tuesday night. So long ago. Yeah, that was. We need to raise awareness because maybe somebody out there in our listening audience is experiencing the same symptoms as Coach K is an old man. You should go to the doctor. Coach K immediately. So they lost to Stephen F.

Austin Fox. He's got Stephen F. Austinitis. Yeah. And first time, a number one team has lost to that low ranked of Ken Palm. Yeah. On Ken Palm in what, like 20 years forever, forever, ever since Ken Palm was born, since he came out of his mom's bed on Duke. So much so. Yeah, it was bad bet. Hey, what do you want to say?

It's a bad fucking bet. So much so that he got Ken Palm disease and literally upset stomach. What do you say? He said he wasn't feeling right that day in retrospect. He was like, just so you guys know, I was sick that day. I love when stereotypes just like, hey, that stereotype and joke you've been making. It's actually true.

Love it. Speaking of reinforcing stereotypes, tummy, tummy, tummy. Actually, even the foster made Coach K's tummy. Speaking of reinforcing stereotypes, 70 plus. I just replied, come on for that, because that's a he can't be serious. Oh, he's very serious. He's very seriously counted as a loss. Yeah, he was sick. As far as I'm concerned, it's not a loss. My other who's back in the week is Greg Siano.

Yep. That's right. Coach Siano as first reported by Leroy, the dog, like a month ago, he is accepting the offer. But I thought he retracted. No, he never retracted. Oh, you retracted on behalf. No, I did not. I don't speak for my dog. But you said it wasn't going to happen. The Twitter account has not deleted the tweet.

OK, he tweeted out. He was just like he was earlier than Ari Abraham on any of his reports. That kid is fucking back. Yeah, I know. So Leroy tweeted out that Shiana was accepting the job. He did accept it after word got out that he was demanding like use of a private jet to be named like the Air Shiana or whatever. Basically, that that private jet is just as much of a biohazard as any Patriots and crisscrossing the country.

So he's back at Rutgers. He's going to return them to their glory years of going five and five. So shout out to Coach Siano. We knew that you had it in you. All right. My who's back is it's it's officially you can be socially acceptable to be drunk at all times season. That's it. That's who's back. OK, you can just be drunk at this point in December.

What tonight? Monday night football. Yeah, yeah. Even tonight. Yes. I can have a beer tonight. You can just be like a level of drunk slash full for the next 30 days. You're just 25 days. You know what? You're just Mary at this point.

Yeah, you're jolly. If you got a couple of glasses of wine, your red cheeks. Yeah, looks like you just came in from the cold. It's the spirit of the holidays. Drink a little whiskey with your coffee in the morning. Focus on 2020 season. Right. We're on to 2020. That's right. You can't let yourself go.

You it's impossible to be inappropriately drunk off eggnog. Actually, a little life hack. If you are going to plan on getting in shape in 2020, eat a little. Oh, they just showed. Oh, my God, the Duke Stephen F. I thought that just happened right now. Was that last Tuesday? Oh, that's sports finals.

Oh, look, the final of the week on Ninja Warrior. You can you can see Coach K. In the background, he's having some stomach cramps. Oh, man. At the time, it was a little. We should have his pants. Yeah, we should have spotted it then. Yeah, you get even fatter in December because then the pounds come off easier in January.

So get yourself up to a certain level. Like this is where you let yourself go. So then you basically the first week of your diet, you will lose so much weight by just not eating horribly and being drunk all the time that you'll feel great by just not being a shithead any longer. Now, the danger is that you just become a shithead over the next three weeks.

And so that's where you get yourself in the quicksand. Also, it's holiday holiday party time who's back and try not to embarrass yourself. Yeah, don't be karaoke. Don't do any Billy Idol. Don't be the drunkest person there. Yeah, be the second drunkest. That's probably the most I'd say, depending on your

like, we should actually make a chart for the AWLs. I think you can't be the second drunkest if you're in a company of like 15. You need to you need to be you need to be in like the 10 to 20 percentile of drunkest. That's everybody's in the 10 to 20th percentile of drunkest. So if you have 10 people in your office, you can be the second drunkest.

No, you can't be this. Yeah, you can. Yes, you can. OK, if you were in a bigger office, if you're the second drunkest, then you might as well be the drunkest because everyone would be like, that guy was really drunk. Right. So if it's smaller, then there's more degree of separation between you and the drunkest person. Right. And everyone's everything's memorable.

So it's like, it's OK. He was the drunk. He was clearly the drunkest. But if you're in a party of 100, the drunkest guy might not get seen by everyone. So you might be seen as the drunkest. So don't be the Steve Sarkesian. Be the Steve Spurrier.

Yes, that's perfect. Write that down and put it on a card and read it right before you start your holiday party. Yep. All right, let's. Also, Kyle Sloder is back. Kyle Sloder is back. I mean, I hate that when I saw that name, I was like, oh, PFT.

The Sloder City Madman. He made it happen. He's good. I'm telling you. Kyle Sloder is good. There was a lot of interest from the XFL if he wasn't going to get a starting job or at least a full time job at the NFL. Yeah.

Sloder's back and he's here to stay, baby. All right, let's do. So football guy of the week. We're going to put it on the blog again. So go check it out. We'll tweet it out. We have some good nominees this week. We'll also do a vote on Twitter.

because I think you and I will probably differ on what to make of Jim Harbaugh. What do you mean? I say who cares. Well, I'd say if you're a Michigan fan, keep Harbaugh around. He's going to be good. He's always going to be good.

If he doesn't beat Ohio State, who cares? No, I mean, I'm actually kind of egregious because the Michigan myth is one of the greatest myths going in all of college sports. They have won a half a national title in the last 60 years. And they make you think that they matter and that they're on the level of Alabama and USC and Ohio State and Clemson even now.

Like that's what the Michigan myth is. So I think realistic Michigan fans, probably are like, you know what? We aren't going to get better. It would be nice if he could beat the rival every now and then. But I was just sad to see him so sad. He's lost.

They lost in a very similar way that they did last year. And to lose like that two years in a row, it's fucking tough. And I think it's one of those weird things where if you talk about expectations of a fan base, Jim Harbaugh is an abject failure in that realm. Right. Like Michigan fans, as crazy as it is, they expect to win being the national title,

even though everything in their history doesn't show that. But like in terms of who they are now, they're probably exactly this, a 10 win team and not on Ohio State's level. And this is coming from a guy who roots for a team that's about to play Ohio State in Indianapolis and knows Wisconsin will never be on Ohio State's level. And that's just reality.

I think there's one other person that we should put the blame on here. And that's Adam Schefter. Yeah. Adam Schefter has been dealing with a kidney stone for the last several months. They've been on a roll. Several months? Well, I assume that a kidney stone just doesn't show up.

And it's like, hey, what's up? I'm a kidney stone. I'm just here now. I assume it has to develop. I might have one. So I don't know. Yeah. So he has spent, he's known that he's

had to pass this kidney stone for entire week, but it's been growing. And he said that he passed it 90 minutes before kickoff. Classic P-boy just pissed something out right before the most important game of the season. As that kidney stone was growing, Michigan was good. And they were beating good teams. Ish.

Schefter got rid of their good luck charm. That charred of calcified stone that was growing inside his bladder and cost him his team by shooting it out of his urethra. I like that. And other pointless Adam Schefter news. He just tweeted this out as we were recording. And now, after that Sunday night loss in Houston,

the Patriots won't land back in Foxboro until about 5 30 AM when it will be time to get to work on Sunday's game playing against the Kansas City Chiefs. Wow. As if the loss has anything to do with. Bill Belichick has never had to deal with playing Sunday night football on the road. Right.

Also. Like if they won, they would still land at 5 30 AM. Correct. And they would still be game playing against the Chiefs. Well, it would be a personally a bad flight for Adam Schefter because he would have to piss the entire time. And the bathrooms will be filled with people shitting their brains out with the flu.

Yeah. That's what he thinks. Yeah, he's like, they're not going to have to go five hours without urinating. Yeah. Certainly. So the Michigan back to Michigan. I mean, Harbaugh, I feel bad for him because he's lost.

And Ohio State is that good. I just think it's a weird it whenever you deal with Michigan people, it's like weird because there's normal Michigan people who kind of get it. And then there are I won't name names, but people in the media who are Michigan men who think that Michigan is on that level of like the cream of the crop college football programs. And they're not.

Well, you should be worried about if your Michigan fan is not that you can't beat Ohio State because as we've said, like they're a juggernaut and it's tough to compete against that, what you should be worried about is that your good coach is going to get so emotionally beaten down by losing to Ohio State that he's going to leave. Yeah. Yeah.

And yeah, I mean, I don't know what you do if Harbaugh was your golden guy. So what are you going to do now? And he's not in Ohio State lost Irvin Meyer and the train keeps going day. Like it's crazy. It's crazy. I mean, we were talking about Greg Shannon, but somehow the

Irvin Meyer and Greg Shannon walk out the door and Greg Shannon a little bit different circumstance. Yeah, I would say so. But they got like significantly better on defense and their offense looks better than ever. It's crazy. It's crazy. All right.

Saban crying about unfair play. Holy shit, dude. Yeah. Speaking of Harbaugh's, that's a John Harbaugh move right there. That is John Harbaugh. You said it was unfair. This is also the Saban thing. It's going to become a is Alabama's dynasty over because they're

like uncharacteristically out like they're not Alabama Saban like team. They have, I was looking up there, 121 in penalties this year, yardage. They never have a good kicker and their defense was abysmal and they just lost. I love Auburn. I love Auburn because Auburn is like that team that every few

years just fucks shit up. But then you look at it at the box score and you're like, how did they do that? They scored 48 points and bow nicks was like 15 for 30. For like 140 yards. Yeah. It was a great game to watch. And the ending, the Miss Field goal.

Miss Field goal was, for some reason, Alabama can't find a kicker. They can pay anybody else to go to school there. But kickers, maybe it's good kickers, they usually come from well to do families that can send them to expensive camps over the summertime. So it's not as easy to pay them off to come to your school. But for whatever reason, you can't kick for Nick Saban.

I think it's the pressure. I think Nick Saban puts so much pressure on kickers, they just can't do it. Honestly, that he's so crazy. I want to say there's got to be all sorts of crazy correlations that we can draw with the decline of Alabama football. And by decline, I mean, like, you know, there's still very there.

They're like, they were on the bubble to make the playoffs until this game. This is the first time they won't the since the college football playoff was invented that they won't be a part. Yeah. So by decline, I just mean Clemson winning occasionally. And now this right. What what in our society increased at the exact same time

that Alabama started to Bitcoin, Bitcoin. Exactly. Boom. Now everyone now everyone can pay their players more easily. Connected. What else is increased? Tick tock. Tick tock. Billy, what's her name?

Billy Haysley or whatever with the hair? Elish, Billy Elish. Everyone go recruit. Yeah, I have a Scott. I actually think that, by the way, they're showing now we're at the portion of the night. We haven't gotten all the way to American Ninja Warrior, but they're showing old school Shiano highlights.

Just pointing up at God that he doesn't believe in. That he he will. I mean, if you're if you're Greg Shana, would you believe in God? He tells you he believes in God every day in the mirror when you're looking at yourself. He'll tell you when he's in that living room that he goes to church every Sunday. I actually think that Davo has just stolen Nick Saban's powers

because if you look at Davo and the shit he's saying, he is Nick Saban now. He was flipping out of people on the sideline when they were just like kicking the shit out of South Carolina. He said that not a lot of or a lot of people predicted them to be competitive in the ACC, but not win it. They were there. ACC, we're talking about the ACC.

Our good friend, Tom Fornelly, tweeted out that the over under for wins for Clemson in Vegas this year was 11 and a half. Not a lot of people expected Clemson to do this. Where did that half game go? That's where that goes. He's he is Saban though now. He's like finding any way to be like, yeah, the doubters and haters are out there.

No one has doubted or hated Clemson. Also the ACC. I forget which division is, but whatever one UVA is in the Coastal. The Coastal. They've had what? Seven different winners in the last seven years. Yep. They finally reached it with Virginia winning on on Saturday.

They finally reached it. Yes. So the ACC has just been trashed. Incredible. And everyone expected Clemson to win. Yeah. And then lastly, LSU is awesome. So this is great.

It's going to be an awesome playoff. I'm excited. I'm very excited. So LSU is going to make it no matter what. LSU Ohio State are definitely in Clemson's got to win and be in. And I, Georgia, if they win, they would be in. If not, it's going to be Oklahoma. I actually think Baylor, if they won and Utah.

So one of those three. Could you imagine? Or if you want a two lost Wisconsin team, the Beats, Ohio State. And oh, yeah, maybe they slipped up against Illinois, but Illinois was kind of good. And then they lost by like three touchdowns north of us. Or if you're a real conference, you'd have a 16 team playoff like FCS. I've already conceded defeat, by the way, to Ohio State.

So when you Buckeye fans start saying like 59, nothing in like, you know, shitting on me on Saturday night, just know that what you're doing is wrong. Because I've already said you guys can win for the betterment of the big 10. I wouldn't want to embarrass Ohio State and make them be the four seed. Elevate the conference. I do not want to do. I want the big I'm conference over everything. No, I'm with you.

I don't want to see Ohio State be the four seed because then I want to have a final that's a Joe Burrow revenge game. You know how rare it is in college football to get a revenge game with your quarterback against their old team? Well, now it's getting a lot more. We could have a double revenge game because Justin Field in Georgia. That's true. Yeah. So if Georgia gets in, there we go.

All these portals. The portals, the portal kids are everywhere. Cam Newton probably had a chance for a couple of revenge games, right? Yes. Florida, Blend College. Yeah, Dell, whatever. Apple, whatever. Other schools didn't pay him. Yeah, Microsoft, a lot of them.

Yeah. All right. We're excited, though. College football playoff coming up. We have some good guests. We have. Should we say that we have one of the biggest interviews of our lives coming up this week? Just maybe give us like good thoughts and prayers.

Yeah, all I'm saying is just be very, be very supportive of our lives, too. Over the next 24 hours. We can't tell you what it is yet. 24 hours, 24 hours, 40 hours, supportive of us, even if like, I don't know, if you feel like talking shit to us, if you like, don't do it. Trashing the Bears. Just don't do it for the next couple of days. I was giving you an example.

If you want to call Hank, if you want to call Hank ugly and say that he was acting ugly on the show to me. Don't do that to Sean. Watching is literally running Mr. Viskie's plays now. Yeah, that's true. He's copying. So just just be real nice to us.

Yeah, we got a big week. We got a big week. And then on Friday, you get the Bears play on Thursday football. You be so you get that whatever happens from that, too. I love coming up. Love you guys. Love you guys. Well, it's 9 AM on a Sunday. The athletic director shuffles in.

There's a loud man interviewing. Just wants to be head coach again. Coach opened up a big binder that was filled to the brim with his plays. It had dives, whams and sweeps and blitzes and sneaks. The one where you dive at their legs. Loss, loss, loss, loss, loss, loss, loss, loss, loss, wind, wind, loss, loss, loss. His name is Gregory Sheano. And he's just what the falls need to break through.

He's big and he's scruffy and he drove over kids huffy when he's coached at the OSU. Sing us a song of the shadow man. Sing us a song tonight. Well, you never were George with a felony. But you could have been a bit more contrite. Oh, loss, loss, loss, loss, loss, loss, loss, wind, loss, loss, loss, loss. Now Greg never won the Biggie's conference. He almost came close once or twice.

But he cried like a baby and kept losing to Navy. Then he blamed it all on Ray Rice. But he's paid his dues as a coordinator, he leads the Ohio State's D. His ego's humongous, and he lives in Columbus, and he thinks he can coach SCC. Sing us a song of the shadow man. Sing us a song tonight Well you never were charged with a felony But you could have been a bit more contrite
