No place to hang alone, washing and then I can't play all on the sun.
Oh, no, we're going to rock down to electric avenue.
And then we'll take it higher.
Oh, we're going to rock down to electric avenue.
And then by Barstool Sports.
Welcome to part of my take presented by Game Time.
Today is Monday, September 26th, week three.
What what what?
We start in Nashville, where the Titans tell their quarterback, Ryan Tannehill,
wake up, Aggie, I think I got something to say to you.
It's late September and your team is 0 and 2 and wake up.
They did as Tannehill hit his tight end.
Jeff, come on, ride that swam for a touchdown.
Damn, Josh McDaniels, back at it again with the shitty coaching job.
As Mark Davis of all people is saying, I wish I had never seen your face
to his new head coach, Titans 24 Raiders 22.
Over in Indianapolis, where Jim Ursay took the top off
Roof Bader Ginsburg and awarded Colts fans with sweet, sweet relief.
As the Kansas City Chief Justices passed away right into the eyes of the sun.
Patrick Daddy Mahomes got in a fight with his offensive coordinator and said,
if you want it, you can get it.
Let me throw little John Taylor put up 71 yards and the Chiefs lose the windless
Colts, lose to the windless Colts, lose to the windless Colts, Colts 20.
The Chiefs 17.
In a battle of undefeated down in Miami, where the bills went up against the
Dolphins, old Mike McDaniel had a farm.
They are three and oh, and on that farm he had a duck.
They are three and oh, with a waddle here and a waddle there and a waddle here and a
waddle there, old Mike McDaniel had a farm.
They are three and oh, and look grim for the Dolphins as their quarterback was
seeing Tua. But after going into the locker room,
the doctor said he needed a baccademy.
Ken Dorsey looked like a guy whose college team lost
a 26 point favorite to Middle Tennessee as time expired.
Wait, what?
From, from, from, from.
The Dolphins punted a ball into their own asshole and still won this game.
Team of destiny.
People are asking, teach Dolphins 21.
Bills 17 in Foxboro, where Lamar Jackson
used promo code Jake on the Barstool Sports Store was feeling good after taking
a 10 percent mark down Andrews to the end zone twice.
Patriots fans are saying, what the fuck?
Jones, as he threw three interceptions and in a touching tribute to Nancy
Kerrigan, cried, why me? Why me?
Why me?
Why me, teach?
As he was hopped off with a hurt ankle.
It was a big day for Irish culture as punter Jordan Guinness,
Irish stout pinned them deep and Jim Carbaum sent a clear message to their
would be oppressors, Ravens 37, the Patriots 26.
Just a heads up before we start the next two games.
We've been scrolling Twitter a lot, going to Bleacher Report.
We're hip.
Fantastic website, boom.
We're hip.
In Detroit, where Jair Him-Gough went up against Kirk Kazim.
It was a battle of elite skill players, as well as just him, Jefferson and Adam
feel him battled against a him, Raw Saint Brown and Dia Him Swift.
The Hemisota Vikings no longer have Mike Himmer as head coach,
but their new guy, Keb Him O'Connell, is up to the challenge.
The game came down to the final minute and KJ Osborne caught a touch up for the
win, Vikings 28, Lions 24.
Speaking of hymns, two of the greatest hymns faced off in Tampa Bay.
As Aaron Rodgim and Tahim Brady battled for what could be the final time.
The Packers tried to pound the rock with AJ Dillham and the Bucks answered in kind
with a heavy dose of Lenham Fornette.
The game came down to the final two point conversion, as the Bucks had a delay
of game and Rustam Gage was unable to bring in the two-pointer.
Aaron Rodgers afterwards implied that the Packers may have cheated with a jumbotron
and we are once again asking for him to be put in prison.
Packers 14, the Bucks 12.
In LA, Justin Herbert was not him.
Good one, Boom.
As the Jags took on the Chargers, not only did cousins have a good day up in
Minnesota, but it was a productive day for the Christian Kirk down in California as well.
Teach me how to Dougie Peterson has all the bitches loving him in Duval after a two
and one start and Jaguar's fans don't look up.
But Trevor Jennifer Lawrence has your team on the top of the AFC South.
And in the words of Devon Lloyd Christmas, who had an interception today,
you're saying there's a chance.
Jaguar's 38, Chargers 10.
Huh?
Huh?
The Jaguars two and one.
Huh?
That's why they play the games.
In the desert where the Rams and Cardinals tangled, it was Alex
Cooper Cup, who started the scoring, hitting the cards with a voodoo clam.
But the game slogged after that into a defensive
battle that looked like a remake of Cooper, two girls, one cup.
Gross, Boom.
The cards weren't able to reach the end zone.
Instead, settling for a side of Tatars.
Matt Tatars, that is.
Vietnam Acres was sigh gone for a touchdown as a running back.
Look back to form.
The Rams 20, the Cardinals 12.
Standing on the corner, James Winston down in Nola, such a fine side to see.
It's bigger, my Lord, throwing a DJ more.
Winston only threw two INTs against the Panthers.
They had no answers.
And at least the Saints look better than the commanders.
The Saints don't go marching.
Panthers, I'm going to make this up.
I don't know what it was.
Twenty to twelve.
That sounds about right.
That sounds right.
And that is week three brought to you by our friends at Chevy.
Chevy is Chevy Silverado is commanding unstoppable and powerful.
It's always truck season here at PMT, but now it's also tailgate season.
With the Chevy Silverado brought to you by Chevy Silverado.
Boomers are learn more at Chevy dot com.
OK, week three in the books.
We are in the middle of quite the Sunday Night Football Affair.
It is as this taping it is 49ers 10 Broncos five.
Russell Wilson is getting booed in Denver.
This is this is the game that we were
promised when Iowa and Rutgers played on Saturday night.
It is punt fest.
And then we had, of course, Jimmy G.
Getting a safety by running out of his own end zone, which we will get to,
but wasn't the weirdest safety of the day.
So that's that's almost an incredible sense to say that Jimmy G.
Orlawskied and it wasn't the weirdest safety today.
Well, it's interesting because I would actually rather have a football punted
directly into my asshole than watch this game again.
Yeah, yes, absolutely.
This has been an abomination of a game.
And we went from listen, this is this is a speech that we need to give people.
These are the weeks that you walk away from week three and you feel unsatisfied.
You're like, there wasn't any incredible moments.
There were a couple of games that, you know, the Bills Dolphins was exciting.
There was a couple of moments that were cool, but it wasn't.
It didn't have that pizzazz.
And that's what what I'm trying to say is not every week can be incredible.
And it makes you realize when we have the incredible weeks, how special they are.
Because we just went from the Bucks Packers game to this game.
And I think combined, there's been like 50 punts in the last for in the last like,
you know, how they're like in real time, not game time, real time, real life time.
Our lives, there have been 50 punts in the last four hours.
There's something I wrote down earlier about this game and watching it,
because it is it does it tests us as football.
Right. Exactly.
That's what I said.
These are the times that tribe and souls, the summer soldier and the sunshine
Patriot will in this crisis shrink from the service of their league.
But he that stands by it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.
That's us right now.
Yeah, we're the we're the watchful guardians over the NFL.
We're watching this this disaster of a football game.
It's a labor of love for us.
And I'm sure that this is one of those games that in the middle of,
you know, the dark days of April, maybe early July, yeah, will be will be
wishing for, we're planning for die for this.
I would I would probably I kill most people that I know to get this game
on TV in early July.
And we just saw a shot of Russell Wilson trying to pump up his offensive lineman.
I just can't you can't tell me those guys don't hate him because you're 10.
It's 10 five.
You've had no offensive rhythm and he's coming over and being like, let's ride,
guys, we got this like we're going to we're going to do it next time out.
It's going to be totally different than all the other times.
Also, while you're sitting on the sideline trying to catch your breath
from running around and blocking and gaining no yards.
Can you please just make sure you shout out runner pass?
And they're like, all right, dude, come on, like, let's just go home.
This is too much.
Yeah, I think it's time to ask the question, big cat.
Who won the Russell Wilson two lock trade?
I mean, this is without true luck.
There would be no Geno Smith.
Yes, writing back cooking, cooking.
Geno is literally writing back to everybody this week.
He's like, he's doing a rich Basacia and he's sitting down and hand writing
letters to everybody that hated and being like, yeah, you're right.
Geno Smith just had his wedding and Bar Mitzvah and also had a kid.
That's how many like thank you letters he has to write.
All these people. Yeah.
Paulie, Petey, please all the letters back.
Thank you. Thank you for not believing in me because you turned out to be right.
But yeah, this game is an abomination.
I don't really know where like the Broncos have looked objectively.
Russell Wilson bias aside, objectively really bad and really disjointed.
And Nathaniel Hackett, who hired a operations guy to basically tell him
what to do in these big situations, which I'm going to give our guide.
Nathaniel Hackett, some credit.
Most head coaches, NFL or college, any sport, really, they are control freaks.
They want to do everything their way.
Nathaniel Hackett put his ego aside and was like, yeah, you know what?
I kind of need some help here because my team keeps getting delayed games.
And I keep calling weird timeouts.
So I'm going to give him credit for at least acknowledging the fact that he
has a deficiency and he rectified it.
But now he should be spending more time with the offense and it should look better
than five points, which was a bomb field goal and Jimmy Garoppolo stepping out
of bounds in the end zone.
OK, so I know what you're saying about giving him credit for it because a lot
of guys would be it would be it would be a verse to give up that sort of decision
making. Now, a big part of being an NFL head coach is decision making and in-game
management. I'd say that's probably a top two part of being an NFL head coach.
But you'll remember that when we when we talked to Nathaniel Hackett, did the
interview at Denver, we asked him like what the process was like when he was
interviewing for the job, like what do they ask him about?
And he's like, they didn't really ask me much about like my strategy or in-game
stuff at all. Maybe that was a mistake on their part.
Maybe. On the other hand, there's a possibility that it could be like
ownership might have said, hey, you need to get like a special assistant to look
over your shoulder and to pretty much tell you how to do your job or else this
relationship is not going to work out. It might not have been his decision.
I think to get that to get that guy in one in one.
And I think Nathaniel Hackett seemed like sitting with him, even though we were
with him for 30 minutes, he seems like a self aware guy.
Or he knows he knows, you know, and like I said, there's a lot of coaches,
they get one shot and they're like, it's my way or the highway.
I'm going to do it this way and you guys are all going to fall in line.
Nathaniel Hackett is probably like, hey, I have a pretty talented roster.
This is a lifetime, you know, dream to be a head coach.
I better not fuck it up when I can't remember like delay of games and how
many timeouts I have. So I still think he's making decisions.
It just would help to have a guy who's just watching the game flow and being like,
hey, dude, you might want to call timeout here.
So and then obviously he lost a challenge today, which is like that new guy.
No, that's not that's not the new guy's job.
The new guy's job, I think is to just be like, hey, the play clocks going down.
Yeah, like the job of that assistant is essentially to be like Tony Romo on
television, be like, and they should watch out for the play clock on this one.
Just like whisper, hey, Nathaniel, remember, there is a play clock.
Yes. And it will expire if you don't get to play in.
Yes. So yeah, it's been it's been interesting
seeing this Broncos offense try to move the ball at all.
And Russ looks like a bunch of poo poo out there.
He's bad. He looks like he's bad right now.
Steamy poo poo and Jimmy Garoppolo doesn't look that much better.
Now, to be fair to Jimmy Garoppolo, they've gone out of their way to say
like Jimmy G was not given a playbook this off season.
Yeah. And even in training camp, because I guess they were trying to keep him
pristine for any other team that wanted him to trade him.
Yeah. So you could trade him away.
So he wouldn't be able to give away any of their secrets
after he left after he walked out of the facility.
But he's he has not looked good.
He did have the Orlovsky, which a lot of people are saying like, OK,
the torch has been passed.
Dan Orlovsky will no longer be remembered as the guy that ran out of the back
of the end zone. Congrats, Dan, you're free.
I'd just like to say on behalf of of everyone, Dan Orlovsky will always be
the first guy that I think and he ran he out of the end zone.
Like he kept on going. Yeah.
They had to whistle it.
They had to like Jared Allen to call Jared.
They had to be like down boy to Jared Allen because he was about to rip his head off.
No, Jared Allen did a full gritty through the back of the end zone.
Yes. Before Dan Orlovsky realized that the play was over, that he was out of there.
Yeah. Yeah. He was sprinting out out of bounds.
It's still it's still called an Orlovsky.
If anything, Jimmy, if anything, this is actually like I know Dan Orlovsky,
like it was funny that he tweeted like freedom.
But if anything, it's it's bad for him because now everyone's just
re-sharing it and more young NFL fans are like, oh, shit, that happened.
Yeah. A real game. Wait, that's happened again.
Yeah. Holy fuck. Oh, wow.
This one was way worse. Yeah.
Way, way worse. Congrats to Jimmy Garoppolo.
Nobody's going to remember that he drifted out of the back of the end zone in this game.
But there will be a new generation of Americans that wake up.
Yes. To Dan Orlovsky.
And again, let's let's just get into it.
So the first game is Dolphins 21, Bills 19.
It wasn't the craziest safety of the day because the Dolphins literally,
the puncher kicked a ball into his player's own asshole for a safety.
So a wild day of safety.
Yeah, it was awesome.
This was a wild game.
The Dolphins are three and oh, which is crazy.
And I the Bills.
So let's can I just talk about the butt punt real quick?
Yeah, go ahead. I feel like since you brought it up,
we should get all the butt punt conversation going so they're coming back to it.
You got some butt punt jokes.
Well, no, no, let's fire it off. Yeah, let's go.
I got no jokes about the butt punt.
I'm just saying that I was going to do like a little NBA reddit segment
where they come up with stupid rules.
Yeah. What if you punt a ball into your own player's
asshole and he goes past the line of scrimmage and he runs with it?
Is it is your count? Is it considered?
But he can't. You have to tackle him.
Yeah. If he makes it into the end zone, then that's just a touchback, right?
It's not. You don't get a touchdown if you score off a punt
with a football wedged in your own asshole.
I think if he's got it in his own asshole and he runs
like the whole length of the field and gets into the end zone.
I think that should be a touchdown.
But it's like it comes off the punters foot right, right.
But I think that should be the only way if you get it stuck in there.
If you have a live ball for your team.
If you have internal possession of a football
where it counts the same as a forward pass. I agree. Yes.
OK, that's really the big question that I had.
But the punter did show zero awareness on that because it was incredible.
His personal protector wasn't.
It's not like he was lined up in a different position.
Yeah, they were punting out of the end zone.
So maybe maybe they didn't have as much room to work with.
But the dude didn't get pushed backwards into you.
No, you just stepped up and you kicked you kicked a live football
into your own teammates. Colin, it actually proves, you know,
whenever you have the discussion,
what are the most exciting plays in sport?
A buzzer beater walk off home run, a punt out of your the back
of your own end zone is one of the most exciting plays in all sports
because it's just utter chaos because everything is mushed together.
And you know, like, all right, this guy probably doesn't have a lot of time.
It could get blocked.
You could get a safety.
He could step out of bounds.
It could go over his head.
It is like a very underrated, one of the most exciting plays in sports.
And then you get this and then you usually have a punter
who's getting leveled at some point over the course of the play.
And that's always fun to see like a hundred
fifteen pound guy get ragdoll helicopter is absolutely helicopter.
And the balls flying through the air.
Yeah, it's a great play in sports for sure.
All I'm saying is Jack Fox could never do anything like that.
No. And that's our Jack Fox mention of the week.
Yep. But yeah, that was that was maybe
the most exciting play the entire day today.
Yeah, it was it was an awesome, awesome.
And in the picture that came out of it, the guy who just I mean,
I guess he was just ready.
He was like he probably said to himself, like, what if he fucking punts
this right into his asshole?
Like, I got to get ready.
And he goes, he gets his camera ready
because it was perfectly timed where he got that picture.
It's a lesson to the kids.
You don't have to get ready if you stay ready.
Yep. At any moment,
somebody could get a ball kicked up their ass right up their asshole.
So yeah, this game, though, let's talk about this game
because I'm I'm not worried about the bills.
I think the bills will be fine.
They do have a lot of injuries in their secondary.
I am worried about the bills being so
Josh Allen dependent that he has to be super human in games like this.
So I went and looked it up because I was just curious.
So Josh Allen, he dropped back 73 times today.
And we were when we were watching this game, we were joking like they're
they just can't even when they were on goal line.
It's like here would be a nice time for them to be able to run the ball.
And the bills just can't run the ball.
They'd like for whatever reason, they haven't been able to run the ball
the last couple of years and every now and then it rears its ugly head.
So I looked it up.
Josh Allen in his career.
And this is actually only the last like two and a half years.
So it's not even rookie Josh Allen.
In his career, he has attempted 47 or more passes in eight games.
The bills are one in seven in those games.
So basically when Josh Allen has to become Superman,
they don't win games.
And in those eight games, the bills,
Russia's not named Josh Allen or averaging 51 yards per game.
Yeah, total. So they basically it's like he's he's their entire office.
He has to throw the ball a ton of times and they can't run the ball.
And you get games like this where they had the the the Dolphins ran 39 plays.
39 plays. It's insane.
They the bills had the ball for 40 minutes.
The Dolphins ran 39 plays and it was like Josh Allen has to it.
It was actually kind of similar to that game against the Jaguars
last year, where they lost like what nine to six.
And it was like every play, every every snap was the same.
Josh Allen snaps shotgun, has to run around, do something crazy.
No one's open and then they lose the game.
I think that's what it felt like.
I think the bills just can't play in Florida because they had the Jacksonville game
last year, they had the Tampa Bay game last year.
And they they have this one.
They are not they're not built for whatever that is.
A Commonwealth estate, the Sunshine State, they're not built for the Sunshine State.
They're also not built to win close games at all.
So they've got 20 straight wins by double digit scores
and they have zero wins in their last six one score games.
Yes. So they just can't do it when it's close.
0 and 6 when when the games decided by eight points or fewer.
And you saw it because it was essentially like the small little things
that the not be able to clock it at the end of the first half,
not be able to clock it at the end of the game.
Josh Allen fumbled in on his own like 10 yard line.
That throw that the only throw he really missed all day was the one
where it was like a short touchdown throw at the end of the game.
And he just skipped it.
So I shanked field goal like our miss field goal that was a 38,
like the little things that the bills weren't able to do running the football.
I like this conversation because because we can say because at the end of the game,
it was definitely a sign that the bills have not played in close games.
Right. When I think it was single Terry, right?
He didn't know how to get out of bounds or he had that lack of awareness.
The bills are too good that when they win games,
they don't get the practice for situational football that you need
to eventually be able to win close games against good. Correct.
So the bills need to get less good at football in order to get better at football.
Yeah, they need. Yeah, they need to.
And they need to like figure out a way to start winning these ugly games
because these are the games that you play in the playoffs.
I'm not worried about the bills, but it was it was shocking to see
like how little they could be able to run the ball.
And it's also funny because there's always the new analytics
of like the past is so much better than the run.
And but then you talk to anyone who played, you know, football at a high level
and they're like, no, no, no, running the football is like a lot more about attitude
and your team's toughness and you have to be able to do it because you can't just be like,
hey, big 300 pound offensive linemen run backwards for the entirety of a game and block.
Like it just doesn't work that way. You have to go forward.
So I'm not worried about the bills, but it was one of those things like,
hey, maybe you can't have Josh Allen do everything all the time.
And then on the other side, the Dolphins are three and O
and their defense deserves a ton of credit because they basically were like,
we're not going to let you throw it deep over our heads.
We're going to keep everything in front of us.
We're going to make you do these long drives.
They made huge plays.
They pressured the fuck out of Josh Allen and to a who was not
concussed at all because they told us he wasn't even though he totally was.
I'm praying for to his back right now, because it looked like a pretty bad back
injury where he got hit on the head so hard that the whiplash kind of drifted
down and went into his lower back and locked it up.
That's nasty. You hate to see that.
It's a classic injury.
And then when he stood up and he tried to walk it off and he was all dizzy
because his back was out of alignment.
And so it kind of threw off his inner ear because he's got his his pelvis down
over here and his spine curves to the side and his brains on this other side.
So it was a it was a nasty back injury.
I hope that he gets better because like a back injury is something
that can nag you for a long time.
Yes. Yes. And so let's just say this is basically Florio has
his marching orders for the rest of the week.
Florio is going to be all over this.
They're doing an NFL PA full investigation.
Yeah. And I mean I'm going to do a fast forward preview
of what the investigation is going to say to us.
So you had you had a brain injury right.
You had a concussion. You were dizzy.
No it was my back that hurt. Yeah.
But no it was very clear that you had a concussion and you couldn't stand up.
No my back. It was just my back.
It was an attraction.
And then and then that's the end of the investigation.
Yeah. Yeah. But to OK came out came back in didn't play his best game
but made huge plays in in the fourth quarter like to a I I'm a member
of two and on but the undisputable fact about to is he's a winner.
Like he's just a winner.
He finds ways to win.
And obviously a team game but he's a winner.
He beat a quarterback without a no in his last name for the first time
and what finally 20 games finally did it.
He's checked off the last unbeaten quest on his list.
I also have a two and on fact for you two up through the first three weeks
leads the league in completion percentage in the third quarter.
He's Mr. Third Quarter.
I like it.
Seventy nine percent completion percentage in the third quarter.
That means that means he's very coachable and he can make adjustments
and half right out of it right out of the half.
He's ready to go.
I this was though obviously the bills get talked about because everyone had
the bills as a super favorite to go into the season.
So anytime they lose it's a conversation.
But I walked away from this being like yeah the dolphins are for real for real
because remember we talked about like Mike McDaniel when he has to face adversity
when he has to win the tough games.
This was a tough fucking game.
They they had the ball for 20 minutes.
The bills had the ball for 40 like they had to dig deep and their defense had
to make big fucking plays and they were able to do it and two as a winner.
And Jake would you like to I mean three and oh the only the only undefeated team
the only team that's three and oh right now.
Correct. The Eagles.
Oh the Eagles.
Sorry the Eagles.
Yeah our Super Bowl sorry the Eagles and the Giants are two and all the Eagles
are fucking the Eagles like 16 and already.
Yeah.
So last year when the Dolphins were one and seven I called on the show that
they would be 500 by Christmas and I was correct because I saw their schedule.
You can play the schedule game quickly here.
So at Cincinnati Thursday that's a tough game if they can win that.
Now I've got that pegged as a possible white helmet game for the Bengals.
If it's a white helmet game against the the Teal or Aqua whatever they are.
Dolphins jersey that will be my uniform game of the year.
I think there's a chance that after this game they might be favored in every
game until December.
Give it give it to us.
That's when they go to Buffalo.
Hear me out at the Jets.
OK.
When home against the Vikings.
When home against the Steelers.
When at Detroit when lost.
Possible possible.
Yeah.
But they will be favored in that game.
You're right.
Don't be favored at Chicago.
When you have favored home against Browns.
Favored Rod and Sean.
No that's not just on yet.
Not yet.
10.
No we 10.
OK.
We know that there's a massage place down there for Mr.
Craft week 11 by week 12 home against Houston and then week 13.
They're at San Fran.
That's a good schedule.
Good schedule.
Good schedule.
So we might have 11 and oh that's call my shot 11 and 11 and 11 and 11.
No wrong.
December.
I mean I'm most likely going to be wrong.
Wait wait.
Billy just said Billy's going to shoot you in the day.
Billy's going to shoot Jake if they're not 11 and oh I like that.
But yeah it is a pretty favorable schedule.
Yeah that is.
I think they're I think they're a very good team.
Like I lost them and they've shown they can win both ways.
Right.
Every way they've won a game convincingly.
They've won a game with a come back and they've you know grinded this game out.
So I would like to give some credit to an unheralded member of the Miami
Dolphins because we do talk a lot about Waddle and Hill as we should and to
because they're playing out of their minds.
Alec Engel.
Yes.
Favorite favorite person of part of my take.
I believe he's a low man trophy winner.
Yes.
From when he his college days.
Great full back was awesome out in in Las Vegas is their full back for a
couple of years.
He's the Kyle Jusiek of the Miami Dolphins because McDaniel is coming over
from San Francisco where they have Jusiek and they're using him as like
he's not a Kool-Aid man body like Patrick Ricard.
He's like a barrel drink guy.
Yeah.
I remember having those and he's got a thick neck.
He's got a thick neck.
He's catching balls at the backfield but he's fun to watch because he's getting
downfield and just burying people on blocking assignments, opening up lanes
for like receivers after they catch the ball.
He's he's making the field more open.
Yes.
And he's really fun to watch.
So if you haven't watched Engel in action, give him a look.
He's one of our favorite players.
Yes.
And yeah, I'm I'm I'm buying on the Dolphins.
By the way, the Broncos did score a touchdown.
That was crazy.
They actually showed a sign of life with some offense.
So now we have a decent game.
Is it 11 11 10s to score a gami?
Steelers 11 chargers 10 November 16th, 2008.
We can get a 18 11 if they score and go for two.
OK, yeah, seven.
That's what we're rooting for.
Yeah.
Imagine if we get a live score a gami on the show.
That would be probably the most listened to episode of all time.
Truly wild for all the math and football fans out there.
We should also talk about Ken Dorsey.
Yeah, and Dorsey after he got done dirty by CBS after the game because they knew
that they had gold when they showed his freak out on camera after single Terry
did not get to the sidelines.
They didn't have enough time to spike the ball.
Ken Dorsey got so mad.
He just started smashing everything in front of him.
Everything.
And then once he smashed his tablet, shout out Tom Brady.
He realized he didn't have anything else to smash.
And all he had was like papers.
And then he just started really aggressively ruffling up the paper.
He was the meme of the monkey just throwing shit off the desk because he
didn't have anything cool to smash.
So he just started crumpling papers and just screaming his head off.
And then somebody like stuck their hand over and covered up the camera and to
protect Ken Dorsey from becoming an internet sensation.
Which he was.
Which he was.
He became and you could see the coaches in the background just being like,
whoa, dude, take it easy.
It was a real life Andy Bernard situation when he punches the wall.
It's the regular season.
Oh, dude.
He's like, and he probably actually turned everyone's like,
that was a little overreaction.
But and then the clip went viral of him.
I don't know when it was.
It wasn't after the game.
It was earlier this summer when he goes, I'm not like,
I don't think I'm a psychopath or anything.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Yeah, he's like a psychopath.
He did the Jeff Bezos laugh.
Yeah. Yeah.
He he laughs.
He's like, yeah, I'm not a psychopath.
And like, OK, dude, if you have to actually say that, then you are a psychopath.
I'll tell you what, I personally have never said I am not a psychopath in my life.
No, I have not as well.
So I'm really definitely definitely has.
But dude, dude, it's like, I'm not like a sociopath.
That's I've actually I've heard him.
I've heard I can hear that in my head right now.
But yeah, it was it was crazy up and looks like the Broncos are going to win this game.
Well, there's still three, three timeouts for the for the Niners.
But yeah, Jimmy G just threw a pick.
Hank just let out a huge sigh.
Oh, man.
And all that booing of the Broncos and all that stuff we talked about,
they still didn't look good.
I still don't think they look good.
A win to win. A win is a win.
Don't apologize for a win.
Yeah, don't apologize for two and one.
OK, Colts Chiefs.
Next game up.
Colts did it. They finally won a game.
This was this.
This is like the the Aisha Curry.
I swear it's rigged because this stunk.
We talked about on Friday how much this game stunk,
how the Colts were to play, because it just made no sense.
They look terrible and the chiefs of the chiefs.
But credit to the Colts because they won a game.
The roof was open. It mattered.
Credit matter. Credit to Jim Ursay.
Yes. Credit to this podcast.
So sometimes we are so dumb and so stupid on this podcast
that we actually end up being the smartest people in the world.
And this is one of those rare instances where our stupidity
was miles ahead of any algorithm of any mathematical genius out there.
I don't care what spreadsheet you're looking at.
We're the only ones that said we're betting on the Colts
if the roof is open.
Mr. Ursay. Mr. Ursay opened the fuck out of that roof yesterday.
I have never seen a brighter stadium.
And in the fourth quarter, they go to Travis Kelsey in the end zone.
The chiefs throw pass directly with the sun in his eyes at the last minute.
He drops it. The roof won that game for the Colts.
Also, there was a muff punt on the very first possession.
That's another roof turnover.
So I was I watched a muff punt because I was like, oh, can we give this to the roof?
It did look like it was fully shaded, but I'm still going to say it was it was the roof.
Well, he's looking up at the blue sky. Right.
That's it's more. It's harder.
Yeah, sky. That's his name.
But yeah, he he's not maybe he's not great.
Sky less, if that's how you're going to act.
Yeah, that was that basically was like it wasn't a game.
But the Colts couldn't move the ball offensively.
They they punt.
He drops the ball like the five yard line.
He also had one that he didn't feel that it got down to like the one.
Yeah. So they the chiefs aren't a perfect team.
We're finding that out.
There's only one perfect team.
It's the Eagles, but the chiefs are not a perfect team.
I'll say something nice to the Colts fans because or to the the chiefs fans rather,
because this was it was a tough game.
It was a tough game for a couple reasons.
One obviously like special teams turnovers stink, but also the extended drive
because of the Chris Jones penalty when he just yelled at Matt Ryan.
Yes, I think he just cussed at him.
And the referee was like, you're not allowed to cuss into the flag.
I think the biggest problem with that is it's Matt Ryan.
Right. We said it.
You can't cuss at Matt like Matt Ryan's not going to not going to hurt you.
It's like cussing at it like a lab Labrador puppy.
Yeah, we said it as it was happening.
I was like, there's nothing that Matt Ryan could say that would make you that upset.
So the rest are just like, dude, it's like, what are you talking about?
It's Matt Ryan. Like he doesn't.
There's no way that he elicited this reaction from you.
You're way overreacting flag 15 yards.
It's the very definition of chill out, man.
It's not that serious. Right. Right.
No, as it was happening, we're like, there's no way Matt Ryan said anything
bad to Chris Jones. Nothing.
And any cuss word, any, any phrase that you could utter at Matt Ryan
gets amplified by like a million because it's it just seems so one-sided and lopsided.
So they're going to overcorrect on you.
I think they just they just sacked him with like three guys.
I'm pretty sure Chris Jones, like he laid on him a little bit on the way up and pushed him.
And then he said something to his face.
And it's like I was I was actually saying because I bet on the cult.
I was like, that's elder abuse.
Like you can't do that. That's Matt Ryan.
He's he's barely holding it together.
I think he I think he fumbled another two times today.
He's he's getting to the point he's like when your grandparents are so old
and you need the big numbers on the on the phone so they can see it.
Like Matt Ryan needs like a smaller ball because he's fumbled seven times
in three games so far.
He can't he doesn't have the dexterity to hold on to the football anymore.
You can't do that to Matt Ryan.
He's reached the point of his career where he starts to to flinch and like
wince while he's in the pocket before he ever gets sacked.
Like he sees a defender coming at him unblocked and the second that guy
gets free of his blocker, Matt just starts to curl up.
Right, right. He's like, this is going to suck.
Please don't do this.
The other the other big play from this game.
And I don't I think the chiefs this happens.
It feels like this happens once or twice a year to to these chiefs.
The kid, you know, Andy Reed, Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs,
where they just get way too cute with it, a pretty significant play fourth
and 10 on, I think it was like maybe the 25 yard line.
They go for a field goal.
They do a fake field, a designed fake field goal where the holder
tries to pass to the tight end and it's like, dude, you have Patrick Mahomes
and Travis Kelsey and all these guys.
If you're going to go for it, just go for it.
Why would you have a holder, a punter throw the ball
instead of Patrick Mahomes?
So they got too cute.
They got too cute.
And it's like, it makes no sense.
Leave your offense out there and just go for it
instead of doing whatever the fuck that was.
If you're going to do a fake field goal.
What was that noise?
Hank, oh my God, are you OK?
The is that a yawn?
No, the the the.
By the way, Hank's been on like an all time night for yawns.
The night we're doing a show over here.
Hank is just trying to sweat out his bet.
The Niners muffed the punt and Hank just screamed.
Oh, no, that wasn't what you said.
You know, you just you did not say your team,
the team you bet on was the one that fumbled.
So you don't say ball for that.
Yeah, I was just like, oh, man, that was funny
because your mic wasn't on.
So it was like from across the room.
Oh, by the way, where were we?
Very dumb, very dumb.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, fake or the fake field goal.
If you're going to fake a field goal,
put Justin Reid out there at least.
I think he could probably do anything on the football.
And obviously if they have
a bucker who's still injured,
they probably just kicked the field goal,
but they don't trust their backup.
There are a million reasons why the chiefs
were a better team today,
but all that matters is the courts won this game
because because some fuck shit happened.
And Matt Ryan led them back in the fourth quarter
for a game winning drive.
He's now six all time
for fourth quarter game winning drives by quarterbacks.
Jimmy G just got sacked.
This game is probably going to end right now.
Brady Manning tied for 54.
Breeze and Rautusberger tied for 53.
Marino with 47.
And then Matt Ryan has joined Brett Favre
who should be in jail at 43 fourth quarter comebacks.
I have, I was looking at the list
and this is just one of those stupid like football fans
looking at a list being like, this is pretty cool.
Active players.
Matt Ryan, like I said, is currently.
Billy, what the hell is going on in this room?
Matt Ryan is currently second in active players
behind Brady for fourth quarter comebacks.
Who do you think is the sixth person on that list?
Active players.
That's a great question.
I'll give you a, I'll give you a, I don't know.
I want no hints.
All right, so it's Brady Ryan, one, two.
Okay.
Active players.
And then I got to, I got to mentally skip past numbers
three, four and five.
Joe Flacco.
No, no, you can say three, four and five.
If you could like throw him out.
Joe Flacco.
No, Joe Flacco's not.
I'll give you, I'll give you three, four, five.
Stafford's three.
Okay.
Russ is four.
Carr is five.
Carr is five, six.
James.
Nope.
Not enough.
Not enough fourth quarter comebacks.
Sixth on the active fourth quarter comebacks game
winning fourth quarter comeback.
Is it Kirk?
Nope.
It's Andy Dalton.
Nice guy, Andy Dalton, the head of Aaron Rodgers.
Interesting.
Pretty crazy.
Yeah.
I mean, active asterisks.
Yeah.
Semi-active.
He's active.
He's active.
He's very active for his age.
His name was highlighted under the active on the pro
football reference page.
Yep.
So it counts.
Yes.
By the way, the Broncos are going to win this game.
They got the ball back.
Who fumbled?
Or was it a turnover on downs?
Jeff Wilson.
Jeff Wilson fumbled.
Nathaniel Hack is now two in one.
Just got shoved by his own.
By his own player.
Looks like a fight.
Oh, also, how's a tough win for them?
And Russ, you know, the one time they needed offense,
all game, they got it.
What happened with B&M and Patrick Mahomes today?
Did we ever get an update as to what they were yelling
at each other about?
Fiery guys.
Just fiery guys.
Yeah.
That's the thing where they're going to circle the wagons
and just be like, it wasn't an argument.
They're just two competitors that were frustrated
and wanted to win.
If I had to guess, if I had to guess,
I would say that B&M and Patrick Mahomes relationship
is probably not on the best terms right now,
because they got little finger to quote, you know,
to Game of Thrones.
They got little finger and Matt Nagy,
who's now the assistant quarters backs coach in Kansas City.
So he's probably ruined.
He probably is telling Patrick Mahomes, like,
you should hear what B&M says to you about in the coaches
in the coaches meetings.
OK, there's like he mother fucks you.
There's some shit going on.
Yeah, no, he definitely is ruined.
He will ruin that franchise from within.
Absolutely.
He probably called the fake punt or the fake,
the fake field goal.
Yeah, he definitely did.
He has nothing to do with special teams,
but he definitely did.
OK, so Broncos officially win 11 to 10, not a score,
Gommi, but happy for Nathaniel Hackett, easy under,
prime time unders.
Every game goes under now.
It sucks.
Let's go to the next game.
I like how they asked Mike Shanahan, who they thought,
who he was going to be rooting for tonight.
And he was like, well, obviously my son.
Yeah, like, guys, I'm pretty sure that my son.
Wait, are you asking if I'm rooting for my son
or the team that fired me?
Yeah, right.
My son, I'm going to go with Kyle.
I'm going to go with my son.
But he can kind of, he can kind of win either way, right?
He can spin it.
He'd be like, oh, yeah, the Broncos.
That's nice.
That's my team.
Ravens, 37, Patriots, 26.
Let's have some guy talk, shall we?
I was sitting next to Hank, by the way,
if you're watching on YouTube right now,
Hank did go to Rolling Loud.
It might, you might see a sweatshirt or 17 bracelets he has.
We have four concert bracelets.
Dude, was this week in a movie?
That's so cool.
It was a feature film, Academy Award winner.
Yeah.
Hank sat next to me all day.
It's a great day.
Farted on me once.
It was a toot.
He looked, it was like a dog farting because he looked up
and he was like, oh, shit, I didn't expect that to be loud.
Yeah, he was like inches away from his ass.
He was trying to get away with one.
When I posted that picture earlier today,
it was my Be Real where it was of me and Big Cat,
you were behind me.
And Hank's butt was pointed towards you.
Somebody replied to it.
It was like, Hank better be careful pointing his asshole
right at Big Cat.
And I mean, no Stradamus.
Yeah, I just looked and was like, did you just fart on me?
He's like, sorry.
But anyway, I was sitting next to Hank all day.
I heard his murmurs, his under the breath whispers.
There was some, this team kind of stinks talk.
And there was some, he might not be the guy talk.
I never said that.
I mean, we asked you, basically after every throw,
we were like, was that a guy throw, Hank?
And there were several where you're like, ah, maybe not.
Maybe not anymore.
And then there were some where it was like, oh, maybe he's
a guy now.
And this is, again, he's guy sexual.
He's going both ways right now.
Sometimes he is.
Sometimes he isn't.
I could see it.
A couple of times they're worth throws.
Or I was like, oh, that was real.
Like that's Mac Jones.
But he had a few interceptions that weren't great.
He got hurt, which hopefully he's OK.
We saw the picture.
Yeah, I don't think it's fair to even have this conversation
until he's healthy.
Oh, OK.
Oh, yeah.
Are you going to table it?
Yeah, I don't think it's really just inconsiderate,
in my opinion.
Yeah, you should actually just refer to this injury
if he ends up not being the guy.
Just be like, this game ruined him.
This game, he was starting to be the guy.
And then the dirty Ravens came out there and just injured him.
Yeah, what are you going to say, Billy?
I think I'd call Zappy would start by the end of the season.
Billy Zappy's legend.
But I don't think he is starting.
I think Brian Hoyer is starting.
Yeah, well, I said there would be some quarterback controversy.
They have to play, I think, their next games at Lambeau.
So they're probably like, hey, we
don't want to have Billy Zappy have
to go play his first game at Lambeau against that defense.
But I feel bad for Brian Hoyer.
Like your job, you have to chase Daniel's job,
where for the longest time, you're just collecting a paycheck.
And nothing ever has to happen to you.
You just kind of, as long as you show up on time,
and then you're not the first guy to leave the practice
facility, you essentially have a job until you're 40 years old.
Now he actually has to play football.
And at a road game, that's going to be tough for him.
I feel bad for him, honestly.
I do, too.
But let me just say this for Hank.
I don't think that he's saying that Matt Jones isn't the guy.
I just know sitting next to him, there are questions.
We were watching the Bears and the Patriots,
and we were kind of, you know, similar games.
Well, Justin Fields is not, I mean, we'll get to that.
He's, he stinks.
He stinks out loud.
Yeah, it's just different.
I mean, I said, you know, after game one, it's just different,
especially watching the Bills and the Dolphins,
two, you know, juggernaut teams that are, that are, you know,
going to be contending for championships,
like the Patriots are not there.
They don't look like they're there.
What needs to change?
Better coaching, better play calling.
Oh, wow.
It is weird, also.
They've had some, they've had some, all year,
they had some crazy, you know, third down, third and short,
where they're just not even, you know, passing the ball,
pass the line of scrimmage.
It also is weird watching the Patriots just, like,
shoot themselves in the foot.
Like, the interceptions, fumbles that you don't think of
when you think of a Belichick.
Like, if we had Jules in here, he'd be like, yeah,
Belichick is probably puking all over himself
because they can't take care of the football.
Because it felt like that, even when they were,
they had a chance, they were, was it 31-26?
And they were driving and there was a fumble after that one.
And to talk about the Ravens real quick,
Lamar Jackson has been incredible.
His numbers against the Blitz today,
he was nine for 10, 110 yards, four touchdowns.
He just ripped them apart.
And he did exactly what we were kind of criticizing him for
last week in the Dolphins comeback.
It's like a good team just gets the couple first downs,
ice is the game away.
They got the ball up 31-26 on their own 27 with 5-28 left.
Lamar went seven plays, 73 yards for a touchdown.
And he accounted for every single yard, passing or running.
He was every single yard.
Pretty good.
Every single yard.
And the game, it did that thing where it would,
the Ravens would take a considerable lead.
Then the Patriots would cut it to one score.
So they're always like kind of breathing down their neck
for at least the second half.
And it showed a lot of guts for the Ravens to be able to go
out there and do that.
Cause they haven't always been able to do that,
to hold teams off as they're coming from behind,
especially because their defense kind of stinks.
Now I saw that, I think it was a force fumble by Hamilton,
Kyle Hamilton from Notre Dame, the first round guy.
I admittedly haven't been watching any film on Kyle Hamilton,
but I do know that he forced a fumble
in the fourth quarter of this game.
So as far as I'm concerned, he was a great draft pick
and that will stay in my mind
until he does something in the playoffs.
Well, he, and he needed that play
because remember the last time we heard from Kyle Hamilton
was the one-on-one drill that someone had video taped
from like fan night for the Ravens.
And he got burned,
which duh, it's one-on-one receiver safety.
Like the receiver should win that.
Every time.
Every time.
And so everyone was like, damn, what a bust.
So this was good for him, that he now has that watch.
He has a highlight.
He has a highlight.
That was my opinion of him from up until that moment.
So when I'm watching like a first round pick
that my team just acquires,
I like to imagine as the season goes along,
I do like mental like clip outs of highlight plays
and I can start to put together my own brain,
what their highlight reel is gonna look like
at the end of their rookie season.
So then I can go on YouTube and be like,
Kyle Hamilton, rookie year highlights and sit down
and watch at least a couple of sweet plays,
big hits to let the bodies hit the floor
as a soundtrack to it.
But yeah, Lamar looks awesome.
He's, I mean, I don't think the criticism,
there is really no criticisms you can have of Lamar anymore.
Outside of he hasn't won a Super Bowl.
He poops too much.
Yeah.
And he poops too much.
He hasn't won a Super Bowl, but like everything else
and he is going to make so much fucking money
because this is a bet on yourself here.
And the Ravens defense is not great.
Like there was a few,
there was another couple of times this game
where the Patriots don't have an explosive offense
like the Dolphins.
And it was like repeat of last week
where it was like cornerbacks running, turning around,
trying to figure out where they are
as guys streak down the field.
So he's kind of got to do it all.
So he's probably gonna, if he does become a true free agent
and they're probably gonna tag him after this year.
But as a true free agent, here's what I would do
if I were Jeff Bezos.
I would buy a team, name a team.
The Bears.
Okay, I would buy the Bears.
I just walk up to them caskies and say,
hey, listen, old people, here's $10 billion.
I'm buying the Bears.
They have to say yes to it, right?
Like nobody is turning down $10 billion.
It doesn't matter to Jeff Bezos.
$10 billion, I'm buying the Bears.
Okay, now I'm gonna give,
I'm gonna make Lamar Jackson offer
for the richest contract in NFL history.
Plus I'm gonna try to throw in like a 10th of a 10th
of a percent of equity in the Bears.
And I'm just gonna fuck up the entire process
for everyone else, because I'm the new guy in town.
I don't have to answer to all the owners.
They might hate me, but so what?
I'm so rich, I have fuck you money
to people that have fuck you money.
So I'm gonna say fuck you,
because that's what you do with fuck you money.
Then you just get a great team instantly
and you win a bunch of games.
That is the dream.
That's what Jeff Bezos should do right now.
Yeah, and he is trying to buy the sun.
So he has officially reached like,
you're not just a nerd anymore
and a weirdo that we can't trust.
Because any rich guy to that level
should have a pro sports team.
But yeah, I'm in for that.
That sounds, that is my dream scenario.
I've been thinking about, hey, Jeff Bezos,
like you wanna fucking spy on the world
and like own us all and have the robots take us over.
Cool, I'm in for that.
Just give me a couple of winning bear seasons.
Yeah, honestly, I would become the biggest whore
for Amazon in history.
All you have to do is buy the commanders.
You don't have to pay me any money.
I will get an Amazon Rocks tattoo
if you buy the Washington Commanders.
Jeff Bezos has to go fucking like 10 and seven.
And I will, on this podcast, every fucking week,
just be like, I don't think Amazon buying the Roombas
is that weird.
I don't think Amazon buying all the home security systems
is that weird.
I don't think Amazon spying on all of our street lights.
No, I think that's actually normal.
They're just trying to get better at their jobs.
I will say that every week.
They're trying to make my life easier
by installing robot dogs in every police department
across America.
Yeah, this is cool.
I feel safer now, Jeff.
10 and seven.
That's not too much to ask for.
Just do it.
Just do it.
I want 10 and seven.
All right, so that's Raven's Patriots Hank.
Emergency button.
Where are we at?
It's bad.
It's not good.
I think you're going to be very sensitive until the injury,
until Mac Jones is back healthy.
I don't think we can really make that decision.
Don't speak on a man.
That might go under the knife.
Now, I did read that on his injury report, Hank.
He sprained his ankle, and he got carried out by three guys.
I think half the team carried him out.
It was like Rudy.
And he was screaming and crying on the way to the locker
room.
What are your comments on that, on just the general look?
You fractured your rib, catching a football, so.
Yeah, I didn't need to be carried away.
You had to go to the doctor.
Yeah, but I wasn't crying.
I didn't miss a podcast.
You also broke your foot walking.
I didn't miss a podcast.
How much time did I miss?
Well, he hasn't missed a game yet.
Yeah, that's true.
That's a fair point.
Well, he did miss the end of the fourth quarter.
Yeah, I just think you're not being very sensitive.
And these are real human beings that
are laying their bodies on the line for the sake of us
and for our entertainment.
And you should respect that.
This will also be a very good test
of whether Bill Balacheck has still got it and actually
believes in Mac Jones.
Because if he does, he will just find
whoever took that picture and have him killed.
Because that was a fucked up picture to have taken.
He looked like he was in a lot of pain.
Someone got into a spot and like, I'm
going to get this and put it out there.
So Bill Balacheck has still got it.
He finds that reporter and they're going to the gulag.
It did look like he was dead.
And then when the injury report comes out.
It looked like someone took his internal organs out.
Something doesn't make sense.
You know what I would do if I were him
and they diagnosed me with a high ankle sprain.
Knowing that picture was out there,
I'd have the doctor come in and do
like Kathy Bates from Misery with a sledgehammer.
Just break it.
Please just break it.
Yeah, just smash it before anyone can see me in the media.
OK, before we get to the next game,
quick word from our friends at Instacart.

Okay, next up, Eagles Commanders.
The three and O, Eagles.
The best team in the national football league.
E, A, G, L, E, F, Eagles.
This game sucked.
This game made me question loving football.
I love this game.
That's what the commanders will do to you.
Fuck this team.
I have a straw update.
Okay.
So last year, me and Big Cat went down
to our last straws together on the commanders, you'll recall.
Oh yeah, I also went down to my last straw.
I lost my straw.
So that's my update.
I have my straw.
I have my straw.
And get Carson Wentz fucking off my television forever.
I never want to watch, he's so, it's sad watching him play.
He's bad.
It's just sad.
And he got sacked, I think, five times.
Hang on, I have the stats right here.
So he was sacked nine times today.
But he was sacked.
17 QB hits.
He was sacked five times on his first eight drop backs.
That's pretty bad.
Got off to a bad start and then somehow it got worse.
It was just, it was very sad watching the game.
And the only thing, I just started focusing on the fact
that we have a new mascot coming out.
So I'm trying to determine if we want the hog,
the pig, or the dog as our mascot.
That's what I had to distract myself with today was bad.
But I have my straw.
Oh, actually, I have scissors right here.
And that's that.
So now this is my straw.
OK, so I have a smaller straw.
Smaller straw.
I have a smaller straw that's been down to right now.
Important straw.
Strawgate.
Half a straw left.
This team just sucks.
Congratulations, Max.
The Eagles are good.
After the game was over, when Jalen Hertz was walking off the field,
this just made me feel like a loser again.
The Eagles had their security team walk over to the railings
of FedEx Field and physically hold on to them
so they wouldn't collapse onto Jalen Hertz
as he was walking through the concourse.
That's just, it's really rubbing it in.
What a shitty franchise I have to root for every weekend.
Well, that's MVP Jalen Hertz, because we should start
that discussion, right, Max?
Absolutely.
I mean, listen, MVP Jalen Hertz.
Talk about a guy.
Talk about a guy.
Talk about a guy.
Talk about a guy.
Through three games, he's over 1,000 yards combined,
seven touchdowns.
I just looked it up.
So he's got 1,063 yards, seven touchdowns.
Through three games for Lamar's MVP season,
he had 1,035 yards, eight touchdowns.
So less yards, one more touchdown.
Let's start talking about Jalen Hertz being MVP candidate,
Jalen Hertz.
At one point in the third quarter,
the Eagles had 323 yards passing,
and the commanders had negative one.
The Eagles don't even have to play the second halves.
Like, they haven't had to, which is bad.
They should actually learn how to play offense in the second
half, because they scored all their points
in the second quarter.
But yeah, no, the Eagles are the real deal.
I think we all, a lot of people were talking about,
oh, the commanders is a trap spot for the Eagles.
No, no, no, no.
You know, trap spot, Super Bowl contending,
Philadelphia Eagles.
And it was just sad, because they brought 36 buses down
to Landover, Maryland today.
They filled 36 buses of people in Philadelphia.
And that's not like the entire amount of people
that came from Philadelphia.
This was one company.
They were like, hey, we're putting together a package,
a travel package, for people that want to go down
to FedEx Field.
How many people want to buy tickets for this?
36 buses filled with people.
My parents were two of those.
My parents were two of those people on the bus.
36 fucking buses is just, I mean,
I'm not mad at Philadelphia for that.
I'm very, very impressed.
It's just insane.
So that's probably what, like, 3,000 people right there
in one trip going down.
So shout out to Philadelphia.
Great job, bird gang showed up.
They were loud on the road.
It was basically like a home game for them.
So yeah, it was just, it was a bad day to be me
watching football on television for the first four hours.
And that's kind of how things have gone recently.
But yeah, I'm just kind of like I've reached a point
where I'm getting numb to it again,
which is about this time of year, every year.
So that's how I feel about the commanders.
Could we talk about how good the Eagles are?
Well, yeah, you've done that.
And the Eagles are good.
I want to talk about how good the Eagles are.
And I do give the Eagles, I do give the Eagles credit.
Oh, the other thing that I'm excited about
is Brian Robinson are running back.
He's probably the best player on our team right now.
And he's got two gunshot wounds in his leg.
Yeah, but he's out there on the field beforehand.
He's out there catching passes, running routes.
So that's, saying it out loud makes me realize
just what a bad state of affairs it is.
That's our number one guy right now.
Yeah.
Okay, so Ken, can we talk about the Eagles?
Yeah, keep going.
Well, I haven't even started.
Devonte Smith is, that was his coming out party.
Like he was doing everything.
He was catching balls.
Everyone's, you know, oh, he's too small to play in the NFL.
He was fucking catching jump balls.
He was doing it all.
He had like eight catches, 160 yards or something.
He was awesome.
AJ Brown, they have everything.
The Eagles have everything.
They're incredible.
And I love them.
D-Line was eating.
Eating, dude.
I mean, I don't have any, I don't,
my board's not looking so good right now,
but that Eagles Super Bowl futures,
I just, I actually go to bed and I just stared it.
I like keep it on at night to like keep me up.
Little glow from that.
They had five sacks.
Like, oh, I feel so good.
Five sacks in the first eight plays of the game.
Eight drop backs of the game.
You know how hard that is to do?
How hard from both sides?
Like credit to the Eagles.
Great job, Eagles.
That's awesome.
You guys are eating.
Yes.
That's what, we're cooking.
We're serving you guys dinner.
I also, I actually feel bad for Carson Wentz
because he like was just under so much pressure all the time.
And I think his receivers already hate his guts.
Like you could see it in the body language
at the end of the game.
They were just like, fuck this guy.
This sucks.
Yeah. He's this guy's sucks.
They speak for all of us.
Yeah, yeah.
But I still love him and I still believe him in Carson.
No, get him out.
There was an interesting thing that happened earlier today
though, before this game, Schefter put out a report
saying how the commanders tried to trade for Jimmy G
and they were going to get him at the combine.
Which would have been better.
Until Jimmy G said, I'm going to have the surgery.
Talks fell apart.
They got Carson Wentz.
I just don't know about the timing of all this.
Like it seems like it was put out there by somebody
who's trying to get under Carson's skin
because Carson's thing is like nobody wants me.
I'm nobody's first choice.
So like he's mad at the Eagles for that.
Then he's mad at the Colts for that.
And then we got him and we told him
that he was our first choice.
And then somebody puts out a report,
peeing like, yeah, they actually didn't want Carson at all.
Right before he's going against his old team
that he's still mad at for not making him their guy.
Yeah.
It just seemed like a really interesting time for it
to come out.
Now, I'm not saying that there's anything like nefarious about it.
I think that Schefter just kind of squirrels away scoops
in the off season.
Because he knew that this story was a thing back at the combine.
And he just hides them and schedules them
to write about over the course of the season
so he can drip out old news that's new to us.
Yes.
And so I think this was maybe just a coincidence timing thing
that he said this on the same week that he was playing
against the commanders or that he was playing against the Eagles.
But still, that probably didn't.
It didn't help Carson wins his confidence
when his confidence is as shaky as it can get.
Definitely not.
Max, I'm reading the room right now.
We'll talk about the Eagles later offline.
We'll just hide each other up offline.
Yeah, no, it's bad.
I just think Carson once probably has.
He's one of those dudes that has a personality
that like he can't fix it.
He doesn't know why he's annoying,
but he's really annoying to everyone.
Yeah, he just can't fix it.
He like he he's probably tried.
His wife has probably given him tips.
He's probably like trying to take classes
on how to be a better teammate and you just can't do it.
I think he just he needs to get an awesome dog.
He probably has like you don't think Carson
once has like 17 fucking Labradors and hunting dogs.
Oh, no, that's the thing.
He probably does have like 17 hunting dogs,
but they're always like a way being kindled somewhere
for training for hunting.
Oh, he definitely has labs, dude.
But his pictures with his family.
I feel like his labs are like trained to be working dogs
and they're not like boopable tummy scratch dogs.
He's he definitely has a lot of dogs
because he definitely that's part of his plan.
It's like if I get a dog, people will like talk to me.
Yeah, it works.
Trust me.
That's why I got Leroy.
I don't think that's going to work for even.
That doesn't even work for him.
Yeah, that's how bad his personality is.
Carson Wentz.
Nice guy, probably weird.
Maybe weird guy.
I don't know for a fact that he's not a nice guy.
That's the nicest thing I can say about Carson Wentz.
I actually probably would say he is a nice guy.
Again, he just he there's something probably about him
that just bothers people.
Oh, yeah, look at this three.
This is exact.
I like envisioned it in my head
and that's exactly what it looks like.
The three beautiful golden retrievers for his Christmas card.
Carson Wentz is a dog guy.
He's tried that trick.
It hasn't worked.
Okay, those are beautiful dogs.
Then be the first person on your block
to get like whatever the latest video game.
Be the first one to get GoldenEye,
a new GoldenEye that's coming out
and then make everybody come over and want to hang out with you.
Right.
And then they'll just be like,
we don't want to play video.
We don't like GoldenEye anymore.
He'll be like, you want to stay for dinner?
Yeah.
I got to go.
Yeah.
Can I borrow?
Can I just borrow the N64?
I'll bring it back.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
While you eat dinner.
I vote Wild Staff for this game.
Okay.
Last three undefeated teams in the NFL.
Dolphins Eagles Giants.
January, January 8, 2018.
National championship game for Alabama.
Tua was the Dolphins quarterback.
Replaced Jalen Hertz on a TD pass
that won the game on a play called by Brian Dabel.
Brian Dabel.
Yeah, because in Giants 3, you know.
Damn.
Crazy.
That is what I was saying.
Where is Daniel?
I think it's Wild.
It's not crazy.
It was like, where does Daniel Jones fit in here?
He was going like six and five at Duke.
Okay.
That is Wild.
That's a wild stat.
All right.
Next game Vikings, Lions.
Just the perfect Lions loss and the perfect Kirk Cousins.
Check down fast.
And then he makes one big throw at the end.
Like a golfer hitting like a birdie on 18 and being like,
yeah, that guy's a guy.
And yeah, he actually, his first completion over 20 yards
for the entire day was the game winning touchdown pass
to KJ Osborne.
And if you watch this game with your two eyes,
he was doing check down Kirk and he was struggling
and Jared golf was out playing him.
But the Lions did Lions things.
And Dan Campbell, after going, he went for six fourth downs
today.
He converted four out of six.
And then they get fourth and four on Minnesota 36
with a minute and 14 left.
And he decided to kick a field goal, miss the field goal.
Vikings go and score and win the game.
Afterwards, he said, I freaking regret my decision there
at the end, which I like to freaking.
So it was a 54 yard field goal that they tried.
They miss.
That ended up costing them the game.
I think Dan, Dan Campbell, you should just go for those.
Like, yeah, Big Cat said, you went four for six on fourth
downs.
Just go for those because you're in a great position
this year where nobody really cares
if you win that many games.
No one cares if you win.
You're probably going to end up going somewhere
between three and eight wins this year.
And nobody really cares as long as your team keeps
showing improvement.
You're in a position where you can just go for it.
You go for it every time.
And as long as you stay aggressive, you'll be good.
You're right, though.
Because the ultimate Kirk Cousins game,
I've figured out the Kirk Cousins life cycle.
If you're looking at the circle of life
and how it goes around and how we look at Kirk Cousins,
this is the naturally beat the Lions at 1 PM game.
Make people be like, oh, Kirk Cousins.
He's OK.
Game winning touchdown.
And the game winning touchdown.
The minute left.
So it goes beat the Lions at 1 PM.
Next is probably almost beat a really good team at 4 PM.
That's next up.
Yeah, like go play the Rams or something.
And go duel with Matthew Staff.
And then maybe your defense gives up a late touchdown
or something.
You almost beat the Rams.
Next up, you have Mow Your Lawn,
because he's probably like a big home dad guy,
probably Moses' own lawn.
Next up, I'm going to go with beat a good team at 4 PM.
And then next up, we have get blown out in prime time.
And then after that, beat the Lions again.
That's the life cycle of Kirk Cousins.
I'm completely secure.
I know the Kirk Cousins defenders will come after us.
They always do.
They always have their stats.
And he's the guy.
And they'll always just be like, well, he's better
than any Bears quarterback ever.
That's such a low bar.
And it's not even an insult.
It's like, yeah, of course he is.
He still is Kirk Cousins.
And he still, when shit goes wrong,
will just be staring at his offensive linemen's ass
and doing check down after check down.
But he won the game.
So I'm going to give him credit.
And he is better than, I don't know, 16 other quarterbacks,
probably.
I don't know.
I don't know where.
No, that's exactly right.
16.
He's 16.
He's 15.
And when he's bad, he's 16.
Also, the Lions blew 10 point leads twice in this game.
It's kind of tough to do.
But again, like, spin zone for the Lions,
you're good enough to get a 10 point lead twice
against the Vikings.
It was brutal, though, because Dan Campbell, like,
the one thing he can't do is he was being himself.
He was being aggressive.
So they went for on fourth down twice on one touchdown drive.
They went for it on a fourth and five
on a different touchdown drive.
So like I said, they were going for it.
They were being aggressive.
And then you get to that point and you're like, dude, just
do what you've been doing.
Go for it.
Win this game right now.
And he just reverted into, like, a coach that plays scared.
It sucks.
You could see in his face after.
He's like, I don't know what the fuck I was doing.
I freaking hate it.
He said, I freaking hate it for these guys.
And Jared actually said afterwards, he's like,
I trust my coach, but I actually probably
should have campaigned for us.
Because if I had a little bit harder,
he probably would have left us out on the field.
So yeah, I mean, that happens a lot with, like, when you see
Harbaugh and Lamar Jackson, he always asks Lamar, like,
do you want to go for it?
And I think Harbaugh just asked Lamar that,
hoping that he will say yes every time.
Sometimes the coach just wants to be talked into being aggressive.
Because then afterwards, it's easier for them to be like,
yeah, you know, I got together with Jared,
and we wanted to go for it.
So we went for it.
You kind of spread the blame around for both being too
aggressive, which I think if you're the lines,
you can afford to do that.
You can be aggressive all the time.
And so, like, even the onside kick stuff
that he does sometimes.
I don't mind any of that.
Like, you're just trying to change
the direction of a franchise.
Just go ahead, do all the aggressive stuff.
Try the weird stuff that maybe the stat people
tell you not to.
Like, experiment, really get out there with football.
Really explore the football field.
Yes, so I still think the Lions are, like, they're maybe good.
They're above frisky for me.
And I think they're good.
I think they're good-ish.
And yeah, and the Vikings are a good team,
but we all know where they'll end up.
Like, that's the thing is that's what would drive me nuts.
And I think there are some Vikings fans that are definitely
in this camp, what I'm about to say
is they are good enough to give you some good wins,
give you some happiness.
But you know the ending to this movie.
You've seen the movie.
You know exactly how it ends.
If you're a Vikings fan, the good guys, your own team,
doesn't win.
They don't win in the end.
I think I'd rather be a perpetually disappointed
with zero expectations than have an outside chance of being
great and never getting close to it.
Yeah, because you can convince yourself, if you're a Vikings
fan, like, if a couple guys get injured on other teams
and, like, things break our way and Kirk
plays the game of his life in the divisional round
and then the defense stands up in the championship game
and then, boom, we're in the fucking Super Bowl.
But come on, we all know.
We know what's going to happen.
We know, and we know, we know.
And again, they're a pretty good team,
but it's still Kirk Custon.
Yeah, they're good-ish.
Yeah, they're good-ish.
All right, next up, Bears 23, Texas 20.
Justin Fields, he's bad.
I'll just say it.
He's bad.
And actually, I don't even have to say it myself,
because he said it.
He said he played like ass.
He played like trash.
So he actually was able to take the words out of my mouth
and just do it for me.
Yeah, that's a problem.
That's a 2-in-1 team that is, I actually think,
you remember the year when they started 3-0
and I was like, I'm not going to apologize?
I will apologize for 2-in-1.
This is a bad 2-in-1 Bears team.
I don't know how they're 2-in-1, to be honest with you.
There was the game against San Francisco,
which was in the rain.
In the Texas on that good.
And they don't really, the Bears
don't really have a quarterback.
And I don't mean like, is Justin Fields good?
I mean, they're not really using him like a quarterback.
They're using him.
You guys have installed the Taysum Hill offense
for Justin Fields.
So they, the Bears, through three weeks,
have completed 23 passes.
Through three weeks, they've completed, Max,
I don't appreciate this laughing that you're doing.
That's not nice.
I, pardon me, it's Philly Dan this year,
for my eagerness.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I was really fucked up.
That was me.
He's just giggling to himself.
23 completed passes.
That hasn't been done since 1978.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have completed 21 passes
in the first three weeks.
Here's where this stack gets really,
really morbid and sad.
I looked it up, 1978 Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
They had like a weird three-man rotation of quarterbacks
in those first three weeks.
But one of them was a guy named Gary Huff,
who was a failed Bears quarterback
before he was a Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback.
And for the Bears, he was five and 17
with 12 touchdowns and 34 interceptions.
So it's like history is just in a sick fucking way,
repeating itself, where there's a terrible Bears
quarterback link to this abysmal stat
of a lack of completions through three games.
And then you fast forward to today
and Justin Fields has 23 completions through three games.
It's shocking.
And there, he is, here's what really hurts.
I'm gonna get real for a sec.
I think he's actually taken over
for the Josh Rosen stat line.
It hurts so bad.
It's not as bad.
Eight for 17 for 160 yards?
It's not as bad.
100, it was 106 yards.
106 yards and two interceptions.
That's really bad.
It's pretty bad.
Eight for 17, Josh Rosen, I would say,
you're in the neighborhood.
I would say Josh Rosen would be like nine for 20 for 99 yards.
And he did also have like 50 yards rushing.
He had one sixth scramble.
He did.
He does do those six scrambles.
He's like, oh, cool.
But he, maybe, he is a nice guy.
I'm rooting for him still.
I'm not gonna give up, but it's been a disaster year or two
when it's supposed to be getting better.
And yes, there will be people like,
he doesn't have a great offensive line.
I think it's actually better than people give it credit for
because they can run the ball.
He does not have weapons,
but there's still just like a lack of vision
and just anticipation, all these things.
So you have cap space though.
We do have cap space coming.
We should use it all on Roquan Smith
because he basically won this game.
He was all over the field.
He had 16 tackles and an interception,
just fucking exploding on dudes.
And Khalil Herbert, shout out our good friend, Tom Fresneli.
Hank, you might've had this take,
but Tom just like will text constantly about the Bears.
And he has been saying for a year and a half
that Khalil Herbert is a better fit for this system
than David Montgomery.
So today was his day
because David Montgomery unfortunately got hurt
and Khalil Herbert was insane.
150 yards, crazy two touchdowns.
Texans are bad, Bears are bad.
Justin Fields is making me sad.
There's a summer.
That's about it.
That's it.
That's a perfect ending.
I don't really have anything else to contribute
about this game because it wasn't
on the Red Zone channel ever.
And he had it on the quad box.
And I think they mercifully even just cut out the feed
a couple of times and wouldn't even show that to us.
Yeah, shout out to me.
I was like, listen, I know no one wants to watch this game.
I'm gonna figure out a way to put it on the quad box
so I can just squint at it and hope that I can, you know,
see something that I like and I didn't see anything I like.
They won the game.
They're two in one.
I apologize for two in one.
Justin Fields, again, has made me, Gary Huff.
We're talking about fucking Gary Huff.
23 passes completed in three weeks.
That is so hard to do.
It's very difficult.
That's insane.
23 passes and three, they're averaging.
What would that be like?
7.333 completions per game.
That is the Taysom Hill offense.
I'm pretty sure Tim Tebow had those types of stats
when he was playing.
It's a complete, complete catastrophe.
I'm just looking it up.
Yeah, Jimmy G, who played not great tonight,
had 18 in one game.
Ross, who didn't play well, and I had 20 in one game.
It's hard.
It's hard not to complete.
It's hard to have incompletions in today's NFL.
Everyone completes passes.
That's all they do, except the Bears.
All right, let's do a quick word from one of our sponsors,
then we'll get to a couple more games.

Okay, Titans Raiders.
Good job by the Titans, they're,
this was such a variable game.
Like the Titans are never going to be
as bad as everyone writes them to be
because Mike Rable is such a good coach.
And the Raiders are the only 0 and 3 team in the NFL.
So I think the Raiders might be one of the better 0
and 3 teams that we've seen in a while though.
They're the only one.
They are, they were beating the Cardinals
pretty handily last week.
Yeah.
And they were competitive in this game.
Well, I actually have a fun stat.
I don't think they're as bad as 3 and 0 implies they are,
but they're certainly not good.
I have a fun stat, this is done by myself.
So this is my own, if I did the math wrong,
whatever, forgive me, I'm not a math guy.
So I was thinking about it because the Raiders,
in their three games, they have just decided
to play a great half and a terrible half.
That's, it's literally been the M up.
They started week one.
They played a terrible half against the Chargers.
Second half, they tried to come back, fell short.
Week two, played an insanely good half against the Cardinals
in the first half, just shit the bed in the second half.
This week, same thing.
The Titans kicked their ass in the first half.
The Raiders tried to come back, end up losing
because they can't get a 2 point conversion.
So if you take the bad half Raiders,
they've played three games, so six halves total.
If you take the bad half Raiders,
so half of those halves, right?
Three, three halves, three halves total.
If you take half of their halves, yes.
They're, they are outscoring their opponents 70 to 16.
If you take, or sorry, if you, yeah,
that's the bad half Raiders,
they're getting outscored 70 to 16, the bad half Raiders.
And if you take the good half Raiders,
they're outscoring their opponents 48 to seven.
That's how lopsided it is.
It's just basically they decide one half,
they're gonna play well,
and the other half they're gonna suck.
You don't know which half it's gonna be,
and it ends up with 0 and 3.
This game looked like just eyeball test.
It just looked like the Titans kind of kicked their ass.
Well, in the beginning, yeah.
They just looked like a tougher team.
Even when the Raiders were playing well,
I was still thinking to myself like the Titans are,
they're just beating the shit out of the Raiders right now,
just like from a physical standpoint.
And that's what, I think that's what Mike Vrable does
when his backs against the wall.
He's like, let's just get into a fight.
Let's just fight in between the whistles out there
and try to win the game.
But they shut them out,
the Raiders shut them out the second half.
Like they just can't figure out how to play a full game.
It's crazy.
It's crazy to watch.
So, yeah.
So I'm looking at the box score right here.
24, 22, I'm looking at this,
I'm trying to look at the second half split
in terms of like the play calling for the.
Yeah, well the Titans.
But it felt like it.
It felt like it.
It felt through a pick, he fumbled.
It also felt like they were just,
they were trying to bleed the clock out
in the second half a lot.
Just like taking,
they were kind of taking their foot off the gas,
but just in a way where they're like,
we're just going to dedicate ourselves
to just like beating you up upfront
and just like get our guys going downhill.
But they, but they actually were playing poorly.
Like the Titans were playing poorly in the second half.
Tanahil was being Tanahil.
Yeah.
The Raiders were, were scratching and clawing.
Mack Hollins, shout out Mack Hollins, looked awesome.
He's actually been awesome to start the season.
But yeah, the Raiders just can't,
they're Jekyll and Hyde in every single game.
So Josh Jacobs wasn't supposed to play.
I think he, didn't Josh Jacobs like force himself
upon the Raiders?
I'm pretty sure he flew in separately.
Yeah.
It was like, yeah, I'm going to play.
I'm going to play.
Even though, even though you might not want me to right now,
I'm going to play.
So Josh McDaniels, do you think that he is,
is he like, is he feeling that pressure?
I don't know, dude.
I don't think I've ever seen anything like it.
Again, I know I kind of,
we're getting later in the show.
So I kind of was probably all over the place with my.
stats and research, but I'll just say it again.
I get it.
They have, they're 70, they're being outscored 70 to 16
in their bad halves and they're outscoring their opponents
48 to seven in their good house.
And it's exactly three in three.
Now, how's that break down by quarter?
That's, that's, that's the next map that we have to figure out.
Yeah.
But they, yeah, they're, they're,
and I just want to say something to all the sickos out there.
Cause I saw a few people tweeting this.
People really want to see me lose the tip of my pinky.
Cause I'm getting people being like,
you're a pussy for choosing the O and three Raiders.
I chose the O and two Raiders.
Those are the rules.
It's not my fault.
They suck.
And all they have to do is combine halves.
Yeah.
If they could just put two halves together,
they would be incredible.
Well, statistically speaking, they should,
they should be one, one and one right now.
Correct.
With those halves.
Correct.
Yeah.
They should, they absolutely should be.
They're, they're, they're playing pretty much
all their opponents exactly even.
They just need to consolidate their shitty halves
more than anything.
Right.
Then you have one bad game.
Yeah.
That's, that's what normal teams do.
Right.
You just don't show up occasionally.
Right.
And it's, it's weird that they've done it both ways now
where they've come out slow and then tried to get back.
And then they've also come out fast
and then just completely shit the bet.
I think they're going to win next week
against the Broncos because the Broncos,
they play no good halves ever.
Yeah, that's true.
So even when they win, they suck.
Yes.
So as long as you can get one good half,
you'll, you'll win.
You'll have one good half to their zero good half
and that should win.
Right.
If you could just beat them by enough
and you're one good half and you're bad half,
you should be able to hold them off.
Yes.
Yeah.
Cause like they're going to score what,
13 points max in their, in their best half.
I was going to say like they're going to score like,
it's got to be a weird number.
It's got to, they're going to score 9.8 points maybe.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They scored five points.
Maybe all the weird shit that used to happen
to the Seahawks all the time,
that was just weird should happen to Russell Wilson.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He just brought it with him to the Broncos.
I agree.
Here's a fun stat to finish this game.
Devonte Adams has caught a TD from Derrick Carr
in the last 12 straight games they've played together.
Dating back to Fresno.
That is fun.
That's pretty cool.
That's a pretty fun set.
I got a question.
I haven't seen any, any players having babies recently.
What's up with that?
I feel like last year,
they were getting popped out left and right, left and right.
We're having a baby, a baby touchdown Palooza every week.
It was like, we know who we're betting on
because somebody just gave birth.
So that guy's catching a touchdown.
Maybe people are just waiting for Max home
to have his kid, that fucking pervert.
Yeah.
Which is out of respect.
When's the next full moon?
They're telling, they're telling otherwise,
like hold that baby in, Max hasn't had his yet.
Yeah.
We had a warm January.
Oh, there we go.
Oh, okay.
The warm, is that farmers on the next thing?
Is that a good, that should be more fucking.
More storms, more being inside.
More fucking.
More babies.
More fucking.
So it's too warm.
But why aren't the babies showing up?
Because we had a warm January.
Not as many storms.
Yeah, that's what you're saying.
Outside, but wouldn't also warm January be like,
people are out fucking?
Well, you meet new people.
You can't fuck outside.
But no, but you, well, you can.
You could.
And you meet people out, you know, out of the bar and stuff.
I think the issue is that pre-existing couples
aren't getting snowed in.
Got it.
Not having enough sex.
Also, nine months ago today was Christmas day.
I feel like I'm at on celebrate Christmas,
but yeah, other things at the top of priority list.
We're about during Hanukkah.
Family time.
I mean, Hanukkah's a week long.
Yeah, a week long, so people probably
aren't having that much sex during Hanukkah.
Maybe, but Hanukkah was usually earlier.
Yeah, I feel like I actually, like anecdotally speaking,
don't know that many people that were born
like in late September, October.
Yeah, but it would make sense.
I am.
Jake it.
Oh yeah, Jake, wait.
We don't know each other.
Wait, today is Jake's birthday, isn't it?
Monday.
Monday, yeah.
Yeah, happy birthday, Jake.
We did this whole thing just so you could get that.
Promo code Jake.
God damn it.
Promo code Jake.
10% off.
Yes.
That would be my dream for sure.
Did you plan your birthday to be during
Merchant Palooza?
That's my birthday wish.
To win Merchant Palooza.
Yeah, make Jake happy for his birthday.
Yeah, no, I do think that less people have sex
in December and January.
You're going to donate money.
Because stress being around family,
you're probably, you're more drunk.
And so you're not getting it up as easy.
It's a whole thing.
All right, so Jake, happy birthday.
Everyone wish Jake happy birthday.
I want to see everyone buy 10% off,
use promo code Jake, happy birthday, Billy.
Don't, we know when your birthday is.
Don't try to fucking lie and say your birthday is Tuesday.
I never was going to do that.
Promo code Billy.
I'm still hanging in there after.
Weep this.
I mean, with everything that's going on,
me still being in the top three and Hank designing
something for him to win himself
with a new merch launch during it
and not being able to get ahead of me.
That's a great point.
Just saying he created the competition
with the plans of releasing the new car stick 3.0,
which you can use code Billy to buy on the barstool store.
I mean, everything you just said is alive.
That's all right.
You've been burning bridges this entire competition.
You're going to continue to do so.
And you're going to come short.
I was just thinking about,
while they're having this conversation, Big Cat,
I was just thinking about Russell Wilson
and maybe it was him being the problem the entire time.
But maybe it wasn't because,
isn't it weird to you that Nathaniel Hackett
was chosen after Russell Wilson?
No, he was chosen to get Aaron Rodgers there.
They didn't get Aaron.
They brought Russell Wilson in.
They paid him a shitload of money.
And then he's not really giving him the ball that much
and letting him throw that much.
Well, he threw a decent, he threw like 33 times.
But in clutch situations, they're handing the ball off.
So do you think that his ownership
is going to get mad at Nathaniel Hackett
for like wasting their money?
No, I think he's going to,
I think every coach that Russell Wilson has is like,
oh, we should maybe throw the,
we should run the ball a little bit here.
That's probably better.
Just because they hate him.
Yeah.
Maybe the coaches hate Russell,
the coaches hate Russell Wilson too,
so they won't let him throw the ball.
Yeah, yeah.
Got it.
Yeah, I mean, he's gotten a chance to throw it.
Last thing about the Titans and Raiders,
I know this sounds crazy
because we still got to talk about the Jags who look great.
Titans plus two 60 to win the AFC South right now.
Like that, I don't think the Titans are good,
but it's Mike Frable.
And you never know, you know what I mean?
They'll win some of these games.
They're not far off.
Right.
And they'll just win some of these games
and they'll hang around and they'll hang around.
And they'll definitely have one of those,
like you can look at the Titans schedule
and you can probably pick out like what game
will they just shock everyone?
And everyone be like, should we start taking the Titans
for real?
Look, November six.
Six out of the Chiefs.
Chiefs.
Done.
Or November 17th to get some hackers.
Yep.
One of those.
They're winning one of those two games.
Maybe at the Eagles.
Yeah.
And everyone be like, oh, shit.
No.
Eagles aren't losing.
20.
20 to go.
I think the Eagles are going to have a perfect season.
20 to go.
Perfect season, Philadelphia.
Congratulations.
No, you can't do this now.
You want to talk about the Eagles now?
No, I can do it.
I can do it.
I'm just saying grease up the lamp poles right now in advance.
I think that you guys got this.
All right.
Let's do the next game.
Bengals, Jets.
Are the Bengals back?
The Bengals are most definitely back.
Well, they play the Jets.
Well, Joe Flacco, again, went out there.
I think he attempted 52 passes this time.
He's leading the league in attempts with 155 attempts
in three games.
That's very, that's like an entire season of Bears attempts.
That's torture.
That's insane.
That's torture for Joe Flacco.
They're trying to kill the man out there.
Do you know that he's actually thrown for 200 plus yards
for the first time in four consecutive games,
for the first time in his career?
Yeah.
That's crazy.
Joe Flacco is peeking at the right time.
Yeah, he's betting on himself.
Again, back up the truck.
He was, I was, I was going to make the take
during the Eagles commanders discussion
that Carson Wentz leads the league in throws
where there's no ball in his hand.
I think Joe Flacco does.
Yeah.
Where he gets stripped and he just keeps on going
with the motion.
He's like, what the fuck?
He was getting stripped left and right today.
I think, I think Carson Wentz leads the league
in like accidentally backwards thrown passes.
Yeah, that too.
So Joe Flacco, he is on pace right now
for the most attempts of all time in a season.
If he keeps this up, he probably won't
because my guess is they'll probably put
Zach Wilson back in when he's healthy.
Possibly coming back this way.
Yeah.
So I saw, I saw some people like wondering that aloud.
Zach Wilson will be the quarterback moving forward
from this point on for the New York chats.
Yes.
Billy, not great.
Yet offense wasn't looking too good,
but Bengals had a really good defense.
The Bengals did play great defense.
They also like Joe Burrow did exactly what you need to do
if you're an own two team with Super Bowl expectations.
He came out and was just on fire in the first quarter.
He threw, I think it was like 130 yards, two touchdowns.
And that was kind of all she wrote.
They actually, that's all they needed.
They obviously scored more,
but that is all they did need.
With the offense not scoring a touchdown,
holding the Bengals at 27 points is kind of a win in my book.
You gotta take,
Holding them to 27 points.
But I mean, if you think of the offense and breakdown
of how much offense the Bengals could play
and the points we kept them to,
you just gotta take the small W's.
Like for plays, like points per play.
What about, what's that metric I wonder?
I'll check it out.
What about big W for you earlier this week
when your guy, the T-man,
Trump said that he called Robert Salah
and said, you're better than Vince Lombardi.
Yeah, I mean.
That was huge.
That was a huge moment.
You know, talent respects talent.
Yeah, yeah, that's a fact.
Yes.
Better than Vince Lombardi.
He's better than Vince Lombardi.
He never did that.
He never beat the Browns down 13 with a minute and a half.
Now, some people would say that that had something to do
with the fact that Woody Johnson is the owner
of the New York Jets,
who was also like his biggest contributor
to the point where he was named ambassador to Ireland.
Nope.
I'm telling you, I'm saying it's hearsay
that there's absolutely no evidence to back that up.
It's about how amazing the Jets are
in the direction they're going.
I mean, Zach, I mean, we can put all of these games
in the, in the rearview mirror.
We got our win against the Browns, Flacco got us one.
So it's now Zach Wilson is going to step
into the driver's seat and we're going to have
an amazing rest of the season.
Who you guys got next?
Let me check.
I think we have, I think it's a home game.
Here's my problem with Robert Salah.
I still can't, I don't know what his name actually is
because Billy's warped my brain.
Pittsburgh, at Pittsburgh.
You can win that game.
Yeah.
His head is too shiny.
Did you see in his press conference?
Like it's, it's way too shy.
I think he should get it to pay.
I think that would change the mojo of this.
He put makeup on his head.
Yeah.
So it doesn't shine.
Wear a hat.
I don't know, but he was, he's got a shiny ass head
and his team stinks.
Look how shiny his head looks, PFT.
Look at this.
I would almost, you ever seen a head this shiny?
I've seen it.
Look at that.
In the press conferences.
I think that's, I think he gets done dirty
by the lighting staff.
That's shiny.
I think the lighting staff, they should, they should
maybe add like a little green tint to it
to enhance the jet's flavor to the entire room.
Because that right there, that's just a spotlight
shining directly onto the man's head.
Quinn and Williams got into it with the defensive line
coach on the sideline.
Yeah.
Turns out after the touchdown catch by T Higgins,
I think they rushed eight guys and Quinn and Williams
thought he could do with four and then they didn't rush
eight guys for the rest of the game.
So he got his point across.
Let me guess.
That was just iron sharp and siren.
Exactly.
Guys arguing.
Here's another spin zone for you.
The jets kind of dropped two touchdown passes today.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So they could have had 16 more points.
Yeah.
And then guess what?
That's a W.
Yeah.
Joe Flacco played good enough to win this game.
The Bengals, this is why we were talking to them
up on Friday.
They only give up two sacks because the jets don't have
Mike Parsons or TJ Watt.
I don't know.
Thursday night will be very interesting
because that's a game like if the Bengals win that game,
then I'm like, okay, it feels like they've got
things back on track.
I fully expect them to win this game,
which they do deserve credit for winning the way they did.
Points points.
They killed me.
Listen, Thursday night, I think it's going to be
another points fest.
I'm very excited for it.
I hope so.
Tyler Boyd had another great game.
T. Higg, I just, I actually think they might have
the best receiving core in the NFL.
Boyd Higgins, Jamar Chase as their top three.
That's pretty good.
Yeah, I'm trying to think.
Because we always, we suck at this.
I know.
Whenever we do the spot, like rank them.
Devonte Smith, AJ Brown.
There's a tall spotter.
Okay, but that's, he's a tight end.
Is Jeremy Macklin still on the Eagles?
Quas walk ins.
Quas walk ins.
Huge.
What about the Targers went healthy?
Oh, what about the Dolphins?
What about the Dolphins?
Yes, the Dolphins.
Yeah.
Tyreek and Jalen Waddle.
I was thinking,
who's the third?
Yeah, who's the third?
Palmer's been good.
Who cares?
It doesn't really matter.
No, but who's the third on the Dolphins?
Like you could throw in any name and it's,
you have Tyreek and Jalen Waddle.
I'd say one, one through three, top to bottom.
Averagely, I would say the Bengals are up there.
Yeah, I probably would take the Dolphins.
For depth, that's probably the Bengals.
But top heavy Dolphins.
And then I saw some people,
I don't know how much stock to put in this
because I think Ken Jack brought this up,
but he said that there was a discourse,
and I hate discourses.
There was a discourse about whether or not
the Bengals screwed up by drafting Jamar Chase
instead of Sewell after the first two games of the season
when Joe Burrow was getting hit left and right.
I just like to say for the record,
the Cincinnati Bengals got to the Super Bowl last year
in large part because they did draft Jamar Chase.
That's about as big a hit as you can have.
So I'm going to say I'm going to do a redraft
real quick in my brain.
Yep, they made the right decision
by drafting Jamar Chase.
Yeah, yeah, I'd agree.
Okay, I'm just making sure,
because these are the discussions we have
that always people are like, what the fuck?
Cedric Wilson would be the third for the Dolphins.
He's pretty good.
And then we should also throw in the fact
that Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Julio Jones went healthy.
Well, has Julio Jones even played?
Yeah, he played week one.
Oh yeah, he played week one.
He had like 70 yards.
He actually made a sick catch.
So yeah, there's some good,
they're definitely in there.
They're either one or two, depending on, you know.
Oh, here we go.
Your flavor of the week.
I just literally Googled it.
Tier one elite on pro football focus.
Ever heard of it?
Number one, Cincinnati Bengals.
Yeah, yeah.
So yeah, they are.
I just know we always do that.
We always fuck that up and everyone's like,
dude, how could you not mention this team?
It's like, I don't know.
It's one in the morning.
We're just listing shit off the top.
Low key, high key, the Raiders have a pretty good
receiving course.
Yeah, they do.
Renfro, Devonte Adams.
And then, I guess you can't count one.
The third guy?
DeMarcus Robinson?
DeSean Jackson.
Matt Collins.
No, Matt Collins.
But is DeMarcus Robinson on the Raiders?
If I got that, I'm very happy with myself.
Okay.
Is he?
Is he?
Ravens.
Ravens.
Shit.
Was he on the Raiders?
No.
I think he went chief straight to the Ravens.
He did?
Yeah, I think so.
Damn it.
Wait.
Yes.
He went on the Raiders for a minute.
He was there for a second.
Yeah, he was on the Raiders for a minute.
And then he got traded, right?
Okay.
This has been talking wide receivers for no reason.
I'm pardon my taking one hand.
Let's go to the next game.
Yeah, he was, oh, he was released August 16th, 2022
by the Raiders.
So maybe not good in the trio.
When they released them.
Okay.
Next up, Panthers Saints.
Panthers 22, Saints 14.
Panthers get their first win of the season.
Their offense still stinks.
Their defense looked awesome.
I'm worried about Jamis.
Also, Matt Rule, you're on the hot seat officially
because David Tepper had Ian Rappport
make an announcement for him before the games on Sunday.
I love the insider making the announcement
because they need something to talk about
on all these pregame shows.
And he said Ian Rappport reported
that David Tepper, owner of the Panthers,
plans to be patient with Matt Rule.
That is the most red flag, you're fucked, dude.
Yeah, plans to be patient.
Thing of all time.
Yep, that means.
You're fired, you're fired.
That means you're done.
You're dead, you're dead.
The Panthers though do have
one of the most impressive streaks in sports going right now.
They haven't allowed a touchdown
on the opening drive in 20 games.
I believe that's the longest in NFL history.
That's huge.
That's crazy.
So make sure to live bet right after kickoff.
Why aren't we, by the way,
we talked about on Friday the 17 points.
Why aren't we just parlaying every single week
the Panthers and the other teams team total under
and then just doing the reverse as well?
It's unbelievable.
Like that would hit every time, right?
Yeah.
Bad trend for our good friend, James,
is that he has five interceptions
in his last two fourth quarters.
He's got a broken back.
Four broken backs.
But he does not look good.
That offense looks bad.
His broken back is four times worse than two is.
Yeah.
It's a cause for concern.
I don't really, the Saints,
and it feels like one of those situations
where their defense is really good
and the defense is at some point going to be like,
what the fuck are we doing this for?
Because our offense sucks.
Yeah, the offense isn't even,
well, James is going to get better.
He's going to get better
because Big Cat, he has not even yet begun to train.
Once his trainer gets back with him,
I'm sure that's what's been happening
for like the last two weeks.
His trainer hasn't had time to train James
because he's just been coming up
with the craziest fucking exercises
to heal four broken back vertebrae right now.
So he's going to come out here with some shit
that you haven't seen since like the ancient Egyptians.
He's going to have like a pitfiper, an asp,
biting James in his throwing arm,
trying to like send some of the numbing agents
up into his nerves.
He's going to have some crazy shit ready
and everything's going to be fine.
James will be good.
I wouldn't be shocked if James's trainer
just starts training James,
like he's an actual paralyzed person.
Like you actually see James doing videos
where he's in like one of those slings on the treadmill,
trying to learn how to walk again.
Yeah, he's holding onto both rails.
Yeah, and James is like,
dude, I actually know how to walk.
Like I'm, I've been playing in these games.
He's like, no, no, no, this is how we have to train now.
And he's just teaching him how to walk again,
even though he can fully walk.
They'll have James wearing one of those halos
around his head with a connector things to his shoulders.
And then he'll just walk on the field every week,
take that off and play football and then put it back on.
They'll probably even have him putting that thing on,
like on the sidelines when their team is on defense.
It's bad though for the, for the, for the saints.
Also shout out Matt rule.
He said afterwards, the plan today was on defense
was to let it rip and they blitzed the fuck out of them.
And their defense won that game
cause Baker was still not great.
No, Baker.
Christopher McCaffrey was, Christopher McCaffrey,
let's say this, say something nice about the Panthers.
There was multiple times I looked at the screen
and Christopher McCaffrey was just running free
down the field.
Yeah. I mean, he's still very good when he's healthy.
And then Baker, I think would have had,
I want to say would have had like 80 yards passing total
on the day.
If it wasn't for LaViscus Chenal.
Yep. I think he was Colorado.
LaViscus Chenal had that one nice,
it was almost like a screen
that he broke down the field for like 70 yards.
And that was the difference in the game right there.
That along with the defense that I think
created a couple of turnovers, but.
Yeah, they stayed, they got a scuba score.
But they, they won a very boring football game.
And sometimes sometimes I almost feel
like the players lose focus during boring football games
because they get bored too.
Yeah.
The Panthers today got less bored
than the Saints did and they won the game.
Yes. That's exactly right.
So I don't know who the Saints play next.
Who do they play?
Who's next?
Let's do a little quick.
Whose line is in any way?
Cause I don't know.
London game.
Oh, the London.
Oh, the London.
We're taking the London.
Against Vikings.
9 30 AM.
Vikings.
Wait, now is this, is this an awesome Kirk Cousins game
because he's going to have so few people watching
because it's early in the morning.
I'm going to say Vikings minus four and a half.
It's like the opposite prime time for him.
It is Vikings minus three.
Oh, I kind of like to like it.
I do too.
I mean, I just gave you my advanced analytics.
I have him winning by four and a half.
That's a one and a half point edge.
I like the fact that it's in England.
It's, it's way before anybody's awake here in the United States.
The London is 44 and a half.
Okay.
Yeah, I like that too.
Saints defense is good.
Their offense fucking sucks.
Okay.

Okay, afternoon games.
Jaguar's 38, Charger's 10.
I was thinking about this.
Do you think when Trevor Lawrence
is doing his acceptance speech in Canton,
do you think he thinks Urban Meyer being like,
you taught me what rock bottom looked like?
You taught me how difficult this job could be
and everything since then has just been the easiest thing
ever and that's why I won four Super Bowls
and had five MVPs for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
It's you, Urban Meyer, who did this for me?
I think he brings in Urban to give his introduction speech.
Knowing that if Urban introduces him,
everyone's gonna absolutely thank God
that Trevor Lawrence took over the mic
and they don't have to listen to Urban Meyer talk anymore.
That would be a nice way to do it.
I do think that Urban Meyer maybe distilled his,
or instilled his winning spirit and his fight into Trevor.
We shouldn't discount what he's taught him.
No, he's just like, you can't,
this is as bad as it will possibly be.
Everything will be easy.
I think we need to give Urban Meyer credit
for what he did teach Trevor in the brief period.
He taught him so well in the first,
what, eight weeks that he was in town
that there was no need for him to finish out the first season.
He already passed along all the lessons to him.
And I'm gonna say it right now, Trevor Lawrence is a guy.
So, I would like to apologize to Trevor Lawrence.
Yeah, you were very wrong.
I would like to apologize to him.
Now, you've said some things about Trevor Lawrence too.
It's not just me.
But you've been saying he stinks.
Well, he has stunk in the past today.
He looked very, very good.
But he's been good this season.
He's been good this season
outside of the first game of the season
where he had some head scratchers,
a couple doidoys here.
But he was good.
He's only throwing one pick this year.
He had some head scratchers, some doidoys,
some missed open guys in the field.
But I do think that he's obviously
was very, very good today.
And I think not just that, the Jaguars are good.
Yeah.
Like the team around him,
I think the Jaguars might be good.
No, I think they are good.
And Doug Peterson deserves a lot of credit.
And I know the Chargers were very banged up.
I still don't know what Brandon Staley was doing,
having Justin Herbert out there
when they were down 28 with like five minutes left.
They lost Bosa in the game.
Rashon Slater, I hope doesn't have a torn bicep,
but he had a bicep injury
and he's one of the best left tackles in the game.
So the Chargers were decimated,
but I don't think it matters.
The Jaguars were the better team
from the beginning of this game to the end.
It was never even close.
And yeah, I think Trevor Lawrence,
like his numbers this year,
he's six touchdowns, one interception,
70% completion percentage, 772 yards.
He's good.
And the Wild stat, Jake, we talked about it Friday.
Trevor Lawrence and Peyton Manning
both started 0-9 on the road in their career.
They both won their 10th road game,
week three against the Chargers.
Wild.
That is wild.
That is wild.
This is crazy.
The Jaguars had lost 18 straight games on the road
before today.
That's so long.
That's a long time.
And then I think the one that we talked about was,
they were something like three and 14 or three and 17
on the West Coast.
And they're like last 20 games.
So I do think that the Jaguars are good
because they just in all facets of the game
look competent today, which is weird.
You usually expect them to do something
to shoot themselves in the foot.
They looked really, really good today.
Offense, defense, special teams.
Yeah, Devin Lloyd, their 27th pick this year,
had an interception.
He's been all over the place.
Josh Allen, the other Josh Allen,
he's actually second in the league right now.
In Josh Allen's.
In QB, yeah, in Josh Allen's,
but also in QB Pressures.
Like he's the real deal.
The Jaguars are good.
Yeah, the Jaguars.
I want the Jaguars to win the AFC South so badly.
I do too.
That'd be so fun.
And I want Trevor Lawrence to be good.
And I want, he actually is a good sign
to Billy Zach Wilson, myself, Justin Fields,
Hank even Mack Jones.
Like Trevor Lawrence doesn't have that much talent around him.
You know what I mean?
Offensively, like he's got James Robinson's nice.
They did get some receivers.
Yeah, but it's not, you wouldn't say that it's like set up
like Tua's got it set up or Jalen Hurst's got it set up.
And he looks good.
Yeah, I think for the most part they spent,
they overspent on wide receivers this off season.
Right.
That's the reason because I think they just wanted
to let Trevor know that they're trying,
which in the past you can't always say that with the Jaguars
that they're like making a good faith effort
to make their quarterbacks life easier.
And so just having that, that probably helped a little bit.
Also Doug Peterson, who's slowly changing into like floor
to Santa Claus, his hair is getting wider,
getting a little bit heavier.
You get a little more sunburn here and there.
He's done a great job with Trevor Lawrence.
That's the entire.
He might be a good coach.
That's the entire reason they brought him in basically
was to say we have a guy that is going to be just focused
on improving our quarterback and we'll count on some other
people to improve the rest of the team.
Yes.
But as long as you can make sure that are highly touted,
like can't miss quarterback, actually doesn't miss,
then the rest will take care of itself.
Yeah.
And I know that we maybe we're overreacting
because it's week three, but yeah, it turns out the guy
who lost like twice in all his entire college career
might be good at quarterbacking.
Yep.
He might be good.
I think I'm going to say he's good.
And I think the Jaguars are going up my power rankings.
They, I think they were frisky.
I think they're, they might, I might just make him good.
I think they're probably good.
I think they might just be good.
What about good ish?
That's probably good.
Okay.
You don't know if they're good or not.
Do you have high key low key good?
No, I actually think that they are high key low key good.
Yeah, they might be.
I mean, they're, I gotta see their schedule.
I want to get excited for the Jaguars.
I'm excited for the Jaguars because that this fan base
gets tortured.
Yeah.
What did they say last week?
Well, they're going to lose on Sunday.
Sorry.
Oh, again, so.
You know.
Number one team in the world.
Oh, they're playing.
They're playing Eagles.
Yeah.
All right.
So that's a loss.
What if they win?
What if they just say, what if they say, fuck it.
We fall.
For Ben's game.
For Doug Peterson.
Yes.
Absolutely.
Do you think that, that Trevor Lawrence is just excited
to be around a normal human being as his coach
for the first time in his life?
Yes.
Because he had Urban and then he had Dabo before that.
Yeah.
He's got like a guy who he wants to have a beer with.
Yeah.
He's got a guy.
One guy would never have a beer with him in Dabo.
And the other guy would have a beer and then try to finger
fuck everyone at the bar.
Yeah.
Doug Peterson will just fucking have a beer with you.
That's nice.
All right.
So they play the Eagles.
But then they have Texans, Colts, Giants, Broncos.
The Jaguars, we could be sitting here.
And the Jaguars could be like six and two, maybe?
The Jaguars are right now as it stands in sole possession
of first place, right?
I'm buying the Jaguars.
I'm hyping the Jaguars.
Jaguars fans.
You've been waiting for this moment for a very long time.
I mean, I guess only five years since the boat.
But it's been a lot of bad football, a lot of really bad
football.
And now you have hope.
There's nothing better than the hope.
And they have legitimate hope.
The Bill's Eagles infrastructure question
that we had last week.
You could substitute Jacksonville fans.
And they're pretty easily.
As long as you say like, I don't think that our nation's
drug dealers are ready for the Jacksonville Jaguars fans
to go to the Super Bowl.
Our meth manufacturing process is not up to speed yet.
Yeah, the Jaguars fan base wouldn't put the same stress
in terms of quantity on Phoenix, but they would stress it
like per person at a same level as like the Bill's and Eagles.
Yeah, if it's going to be a dry winter,
I don't think that you have enough water
to handle all the fireworks explosions that are going to happen.
Like 10,000 hardcore Jaguars fans does equal like 100,000
Eagles fans because that's some real hardcore shit.
Yeah, like you have to be you have to be fucked in the head
to be a hardcore Jaguars.
I got to I got to bring back the lady that was like
don't want some newcomer to come in and steal the show.
All time man on the street.
Yeah, you think she's alive.
Oh, yeah, she's she's got a Trevor Lawrence.
She's never she might be living in Trevor Lawrence's house.
She's probably never going to die.
Yeah, she's she's all in on it.
And then the Chargers, I this feels like another
just classic Chargers season.
And I'm hoping that they, you know, everyone gets healthy
because they are the team that every year feels like
if everyone was healthy, they'd be the best team in the world.
But the Rashawn Slater injury definitely scares me
because he's that good.
And Herbert, again, I don't know why he was in the game late in the fourth.
And could you would you be surprised if the Chargers end up like nine and eight
and just have to battle injuries the whole time?
No, it's like, man, you know, you know,
it would be great if they made the playoffs Chargers.
They'd be kind of refreshing, honestly.
Like it's it's nice to have our stereotypes come 100 percent true.
He did say, Justin Herbert did say to his coach
that he wanted to be out there battling with his guys at the end.
Now, now that's great.
I'm glad that he said that.
But then brands daily also, I think as head coach has the authority
to be like, hey, we're getting our ass kicked.
I don't want you to get hurt.
If your quarterback is 100 percent healthy,
you still don't have him in 38 to 10 with five minutes left.
Yeah, you don't.
You you have that didn't did the Packers pull Aaron Rogers against the Vikings
at the end. Yeah, Jordan Love came in and I mean, it was like
total garbage time was like a minute and a half left.
But still the game is over.
Yeah, just have Chase.
That's what Chase Daniel is there for.
Do Chase Daniel a justice and let him go five for five on dump offs
so we can get another 15 million next year.
Yeah, it's like if you have if you have a Ferrari and you drive it every day
and it's awesome and it's sweet and everybody loves it.
And then one day of the year, it snows like 24 inches.
And you've also got a Chevy Silverado.
And you're like, no, you know what?
I'm going to take the Ferrari out because it's so fast and cool.
Yeah. And it's like, no, this is this is this is the reason why you got the truck.
Yes, exactly.
OK, Jaguars pumped pumped for Jaguars fans.
Shout out, Chaps, our guy.
Rams Cardinals Rams 20 Cardinals 12.
Kind of a boring game because it felt like the Rams
won. I know this isn't true, but it felt like they won the game in the first quarter.
They came out to a hot start and then it was just defense.
The whole game, they they they kept the Cardinals out of the red zone.
Kyler after the game said, you've got to you've got to be awake
if you're playing with me, basically not calling out his receivers, but a little bit.
I wouldn't say it's not not.
Yeah, right. No, it's calling them out.
And Sean McVeigh just owns Cliff Kingsbury.
Yeah, Sean McVeigh is very clearly a smarter individual than Cliff Kingsbury is.
Aaron Donald had one of the most
freakishly athletic plays ever seen when he was chasing after Kyler Murray
and like full extension dove and basically grabbed one of his shoelaces
and made Kyler Murray fall down as he was trying to throw the ball away.
And then as Aaron Donald is like still in the process of diving to the ground
and falling down, he sees Kyler Murray throw the ball away as he's falling down
and he calls for him to be called down for a sack.
He was like he put his hand up as he was like horizontal in the air,
being like his knees down.
It was one of the most freakishly athletic things and one of the only things
that like Aaron Donald could do and nobody else in the world.
And Kyler Murray also had.
Did you see the other play where he just made a strict business decision
that was very funny where Aaron Donald just blew up the whole line
and it was like split second and Kyler Murray just threw it
as far as he could down the field.
Yeah, that's a classic. Fuck this.
That's a classic Eli or Peyton Manning.
Yeah, where like one guy gets beat on defense
and you just throw the ball immediately to the ground.
No, no, I'm not doing that.
Not that was a very relatable moment for Kyler Murray.
I think you should you should have done.
Yeah, I think that Aaron Donald could make Kyler Murray explode
if you hit him full speed. Yeah.
Cardinal's defense looked OK.
They did shut down the the Rams like after, you know,
Cooper Cup had that big run for touchdown.
Camakers had, I think, a touchdown in third quarter.
But I guess I would if I were Cardinals fan,
I'd be like once DeAndre Hopkins comes back, maybe we'll be good.
Yeah, because he is like they are a different offense with him.
He does everything when I'm watching these games.
I just keep thinking to myself,
we're going to get hard knocks about this at some point in the future
because they are doing the end season hard knocks for the Cardinals.
Yeah. So we get to rewatch all these games a little bit later.
This game is going to be one I'll have no interest in what because it was a boring game.
And and I was actually I think it was Trent Dilfer
was on the show, our good friend, Ryan,
and he made a point that's like, oh, damn, I wish I was.
I knew as much football as Trent Dilfer,
because he knows 10,000 times more football than us.
But he was like the problem without DeAndre Hopkins is
like you love Hollywood Brown because he's so fast, but he can't block for shit.
And DeAndre Hopkins can block everyone and like you can't call half your plays
because DeAndre Hopkins like not just the the receiver, DeAndre Hopkins,
but the fact that he will block everyone on the field
and you can run so many different plays with him and so many different looks.
So, yeah, I guess that would be it.
Cardinals wants DeAndre Hopkins.
When is he coming back week seven weeks?
I think it was I think it was six game suspension.
So if you can tread water, you can maybe, you know,
they I could see the Cardinals making a little bit of noise.
Well, because it's not just is the entire Arizona Cardinals
offense feels like it's built around the fact that they've got all short Kings
and then they have DeAndre Hopkins as the ass kicker.
Yeah. So they've got Hollywood Brown at receiver.
They've got more.
Both those guys I think are like five nine.
I think more is like five seven.
Now he's strong as shit, but they're not they're not out there opening up holes.
And then obviously Kylo Murray, a short guy.
They're not a physical team.
They've got Andy Isabella, another small guy.
Yeah, they're all small.
They just assembled a team of small guys.
Yeah, Rondell Moore, who's injured right there.
So yeah, that's what I said.
He's a guy that squats like 600 pounds or whatever.
That's their entire team is a symbol of short Kings,
but you need one big dude around you to make yourself not get your ass kicked.
You have to be able to have one guy that's Debo.
That's like, I'm going to send you in there
and he's going to take care of my hardware for me.
I'm looking at their schedule.
They could easily go two and one in their next three and tread water.
They have they have a loss in there, obviously, to the Eagles.
Just looking at every schedule is like, Oh, the Eagles play them.
No, but they play the Panthers, Eagles and Seahawks.
They could that should be two and one.
That should be, although I feel like Kyler Murray playing in Carolina.
That's going to be a weird game.
Something weird, just the vibes.
Yeah, just the vibes are off in that one.
I don't know.
Maybe it's because they didn't the Cardinals.
Wasn't that Kurt?
No, you're thinking alone through like five
interceptions against the Cardinals.
He had like a left handed one.
You might be in the NFC champions.
You might be thinking of the Kyle Bowl, where it was Kyle Allen versus Kyler Murray.
Yeah.
And Kyle Allen beat Kyler Murray and took the ER and became Kyler.
This is this is when when we like get our true, like we've watched too much
football that you go weird vibes off of just old games that you watched at one point.
Oh, no, the Panthers killed the Cardinals in the NFC championship game.
That was so that was part of it.
Part of it.
The car.
Yeah.
So the Panthers killed the Cardinals in the NFC championship game with Cam Newton
when they went to the Super Bowl.
I think there was a game recently where the Panthers beat the shit out of the
other Cardinals and a game where they were heavy underdogs because Newton was out.
And I think whoever Newton's primary backup was also out.
Yeah.
So they went to Kyle Allen.
Okay.
See, this is my brain really working overtime.
I was right.
It was also the divisional playoff game in 2009.
Was the Cardinals versus Jake D'Alone, the Panthers and Jake D'Alone through five
interceptions.
Okay.
So they're weird vibes, weird vibes in that game.
Just weird vibes.
Okay.
Wrapping up.
We got two more games.
Falcon Seahawks.
Shout out to our guy, Arthur Smith.
We bullied him into throwing to Kyle Pitts and he threw to Kyle Pitts and Drake London,
who could be offensive rookie of the year.
He's been awesome.
But Kyle Pitts had eight targets, five catches for 87 yards.
It was right out the gate.
Like they're boom, deep shot to Kyle Pitts.
We bullied him and it worked.
And here's another, here's a stupid stat that means absolutely nothing.
But the Falcons are 4-0 when Kyle Pitts has over 80 yards catching.
No, that makes sense.
Yeah.
It makes sense.
So if I were Arthur Smith, I would just do screen dump offs to him.
Like as many times as I possibly could to start the game to get 80 yards and be like,
all right, now we win the game.
Okay, big cat.
I've got a fun stat or actually it's more of a trivia question for you.
Okay.
Ready for trivia?
Yeah.
Okay.
Who is the second leading rusher in the NFL?
It's definitely Corderole Patterson.
It's Corderole Patterson.
He was awesome.
He's the second leading rusher in the NFL right now.
It's, he is, what award did we decide to give him last year?
The person that we like watching play football the most?
Yeah.
In the NFL, Corderole Patterson keeps it up.
What, you said 172 yards today, something like that?
Yeah, it was crazy.
It's just dominant, just absolute beast.
I think I will always like watching a tall running back who's good at running the football.
Yes.
When you get a good tall running back out there, it's just, it's the dude's physically imposing
and he can change directions and he's fucking tough as shit.
Yeah, he's awesome.
Their offense is awesome.
Their defense probably sucks.
And Gino, Gino kind of cooked for a little bit until the end of the game when he took
a terrible sack and then threw an interception.
But I think the Seahawks, I'm going to put them in the firm like, we're going to keep
thinking the Seahawks aren't that bad because we watched them Monday night football beat
the Broncos, but they are that bad.
They're bad.
They're pretty bad.
They might not.
They're booty.
They might not be favored in more than a handful of games for the rest of the year.
They're booty.
Yeah.
I mean, look, they were, they were, it was a pick them against a windless Falcons.
I actually think that they're dog shit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, they, they're bad, but it is funny how the perception just because of that Monday
night game will carry it for a little bit where we're like, oh, the Seahawks are kind
of frisky.
No, no, no, they're bad.
Okay.
At the Lions.
I like the Lions in that game.
Yeah.
That's a loss.
At the Saints.
Loss.
Loss.
Cardinals at home.
Loss.
Weird shit might happen.
Some fuck shit might happen because it's.
Yeah, Cardinals Seahawks.
It's going to be the four o'clock game, the afternoon game on Fox, the one that's probably
not on TV that much because it's going to suck.
That one's going to be close, but it's still a loss.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So good for the Falcons though.
I will say DK had a catch that reminds you of exactly why DK Metcalf is getting paid so much
money.
He's awesome.
I think he was covered by two and a half people for most of the play and the ball was
thrown just directly into the middle of all three of them.
He just jumped up, went completely horizontal, about seven feet above the ground,
and then caught it easily with three other guys trying to get it from him.
It's like, okay.
He's a beast.
I get it.
He's a monster.
Yeah, he is.
Okay.
Didn't fake anybody out on it though.

Packers box, this game stunk.
It did.
Yeah.
I mean, it was no offense whatsoever.
I'm also-
You could say the defense has played well.
Yeah, I'm officially on like Packers defense is very legit and they will figure out
their receivers.
Like, even the fact that today, I think they were missing two guys from an already
bad receiver group and then what's his name, Romeo Dobb, was just awesome.
So, I'm officially like Packers will probably win the Super Bowl and my worst nightmares will
come true.
I have a new thing that I hate about the NFL and it's been like on the uptick for the last
couple of seasons, they give the quarterback way too much time after the play clock goes to zero.
Yeah.
And every time that it happens, and it happened a couple of times today to Tom Brady especially,
you okay Hank?
Every time it happens, the play clock-
Usually someone says bless you, but I'm good, thank you.
That's better, are you okay?
That was a violent sneeze.
Yeah, I was making sure you were.
All right, yeah, I know, some blessings would be nice, but thank you.
God bless you, thank you.
So, the play clock goes to zero and Tom Brady snaps the ball like a full half second after it
or after the play clock strikes zero.
And then you have always, it's Mike Pereira gets on the line and he's like,
yeah, they're trained to actually the way that they look and monitor the play.
You typically give the quarterback a little grace period on that.
It's like, no, you fucking don't.
It's like tie goes to the runner.
No, that's not what it should be.
You're either out or you're safe.
But it's not the tie goes to the runner.
You're saying that if the runner hits the base like just a half second after the ball
gets into the glove, then the runner is safe.
It's bullshit.
And it's always like Mike Pereira saying to America like completely simping for the referees
and saying, no, this is just how it's understood that we give them that that leniency.
Stop doing it.
Yeah, you should call it.
There's a clock there.
Call it the way that the clock reads for a reason.
And they got that delay game.
They actually did get a delay of game on the two point conversion at the end, which backed them up.
And they ended up not converting on that two point conversion.
But on that one, it was because they spent so much time celebrating the touchdown
and they didn't realize the clock starts for the two point conversion right away immediately.
Yeah, because you don't have to like it's easier if you're getting the field goal unit on the team
or on the field to kick the extra point.
But when you have to line back up, I guess it's a little bit harder.
But that's something that Tom Brady should probably know by now.
So then I'm thinking has has the game passed Tom Brady by.
I I'm I'm in the camp of the box are still very good.
And if they have even one of their three receivers back, they'll be fine.
Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Julio Jones all didn't play today.
It was funny watching in the beginning of the game.
There was like a little slant that Tom Brady hit Cole Beasley.
And Greg Olson was like, Tom Brady told us before the game that it feels like he's been
playing with Cole Beasley for the last 20 years.
Like, yeah, because he has like, yeah, Cole Beasley is we talked about on Friday.
He is the the the dog he found on the highway.
He knows how to work with the dog.
He's the adopted version right of Julian Edelman.
Right. So I think the box will be fine.
But I am officially nervous about the Packers because their defense is legit.
And I was looking at their schedule and I'm even more nervous because
it feels like they have a four game stretch here where they're going to just get to figure
out offensively.
They're playing the Patriots, the Giants, Patriots, Giants jets all at home and then
at commanders.
They're going to have like a month where they're like, oh, the fucking
Aaron Andrews is going to sit down with with with Aaron Rodgers in like mid October and
be like, why?
Why are you clicking so well with this team?
Because they played bad teams and they figured it out and now they're good.
But isn't that going to lead us down the same conversation where they're beating every team
by a million points and they're not going to be able to win close games like the Bills?
Oh, they did win today.
They're going to get Bill's fever.
They won.
But I'm saying after they go through that stretch, false confidence hits them a little
bit.
I want to know what Aaron Rodgers was talking about after the game when he said that the
scoreboard operator, the Jumbotron operator put something up there that they're not supposed
to put up there and it gave him like a piece of intel.
Yeah.
What do we have any idea whatsoever what he was talking about?
No, but he's cheating.
I feel like we need to look at, I'm shocked that nobody's put the pieces together on that.
That scoreboard is for Bucks fans eyes only.
That's a fact.
All we know as of now is that it's something pertained to the Buccaneers offense and stopping
them and then he related to the defense.
Got it.
Okay.
So he was like, they're going to run past something.
Yeah.
He saw something on the, you know, the Jumbotron that he told the defensive coaches.
You know what?
I'm starting to, I'm very woke on this.
I think that Aaron Rodgers didn't see shit.
I think he's just saying something just to get inside their heads.
He might have hallucinated.
I think he's just making the entire thing up.
This also was a game and we sat and watch it with our good friend, Steven Chey, who's
a die hard Bucks fan and he got mad at me at the end, but we all knew the same thing.
As they were just playing field position the entire time, it was so obvious the Bucks were
going to score and not get the two point conversion and it happened exactly how we
expected it to happen.
Like that always happens that way.
So, yeah, I think both those teams are very good and I'm worried about the Packers.
He probably just saw on the Jumbotron that the clock ticked to zero on the play clock
because it was before the two point conversion.
Yeah.
He probably just saw it turn to zero.
He was like, that's going to be a delay game.
Yeah.
And then they called the delay game.
He's like, see man, the universe sometimes speaks to you.
Yeah.
Damn.
I got that.
Okay, Billy, let's do football guy of the week and then we'll wrap up real quick with
who's back of the week.
Good job, everyone.
We made something out of nothing with not a great week three, but that's what we do.
That's where we get paid $85,000 in board apes every single episode.
And you know what's the best part about it?
We have so much body armor in the office, we can drink it the whole time.
Yes, I'm drinking it right now.
Yeah, body armor.
This season, you know your favorite players are hydrating with body armor,
sports drink on and off the field.
Body armor, sports drink more than a sports drink.
Body armor, sports drink is the choice for hardworking hydration.
It has potassium packed electrolytes, antioxidants, B vitamins,
plus no artificial sweeteners, flavors and dyes.
It's available for purchase in store and on Amazon now.
Okay, here's our football guys.
So last week, we had the Appalachian football coaches.
They won with their mousetraps.
They had a pretty tough loss this week.
Why would it happen?
You tell us.
Called it.
Why would it happen?
Hank called it.
It was a let down second half.
It was.
28 to three, they blew the lead.
It wasn't just a set.
Appalachian State had like 10 good minutes in this game.
Besides that, it was an ass kicking by JMU.
28 to three.
We called it during the game.
We said this is the most dangerous lead in football.
Sure enough, JMU comes back and the discussion is happening,
believe it or not, about whether JMU should be ranked in the top 25.
I think they got 11 votes.
So 11 people out there having the discussion.
12, if you include part of my take, that JMU should be ranked.
So this is pretty incredible.
We're better than Mississippi State.
We're better than LSU.
We're better than Notre Dame.
Who would have thought?
So I think this may be the first winner
who would be appropriate to send them a nail in a football.
Okay.
And maybe get that going.
Maybe some part of my cheesesteaks.
Yeah.
Like it.
Get that going this week.
So yeah, congratulations.
So our first nominee for this week is the 21-year-old
nuclear terrorist from Utah that we talked about last week.
If you didn't hear, a 21-year-old Utah student
was arrested after she threatened to detonate
a nuclear reactor that is located on campus
if Utah had lost to San Diego State.
Well, it didn't happen.
She posted it on Yikyak and was arrested.
But love the dedication.
Football gal.
I like that.
Our second nominee this week is Baylor coach Dave Aranda
who is slapping people's asses on the sidelines.
It's just guy stuff.
Just guys being dudes slapping asses.
It was pretty aggressive.
It was getting hyped for the game.
Love the vibe.
Yes.
Our third nominee is Ken Dorsey.
We talked about him earlier.
He went nuts in the booth after a pretty bad ending to a game
and he smashed up his tablet.
So I have a personal theory that if the tablets were Apple products,
they wouldn't get smashed so much on the sidelines and in the booth
because I think that has a little more of a value component.
Yeah.
I mean, you remember when Jake Cutler called it knockoff iPads?
Right after Microsoft had paid $800 million
to sponsor the tablets on the side of the field?
I think since they're so expendable,
they just think they can break them.
Yeah, they just throw them.
Yeah.
Our fourth nominee is Trey Benson running back from Florida State.
This is a typical tradition they do.
One player at the end of the game after a win gets to break up a rock
with the other opposing teams symbol on it.
This time it was Boston College.
And Trey Benson in the locking room after the win
went nuts on this rock and just smashed it to smithereens
with a giant sledgehammer.
I love it.
Very cool.
Love it.
Football guy move.
And this week, because a lot of the nominees
aren't as good as some other weeks,
I brought back throwback football guy of the week.
So this week, 27 years ago, this is actually pretty close.
Big Cat probably remembers this very well.
A Bears fan jumped into the tunnel against the Packers
after a field goal was kicked between the uprights
and he jumped a crazy high way to grab a football out of the air,
laying on his two feet.
It was a completion and it was a pretty athletic parkourish play
that, you know, he was interviewed on the sideline
and the guy's name was Mike Pantazes
and pretty good football guy.
Yeah, and yeah, fantastic Mullet.
We like way back in the day, Eddie,
and I think White Sox Dave and I interviewed him for a podcast
like maybe eight or nine years ago.
Great dude.
It's a psycho play on his part.
He could have been he probably should have been seriously injured
but he fucking nailed it.
Yeah.
Like you talk about
Total Beast.
Preparation being when or success being
when preparation meets opportunity.
That dude had his moment and he grabbed it by the balls and twisted.
And he's been living off it ever since and he should
because he was very, very cool.
Only problem with that moment was like imagine
if that happened today, it would be like super viral.
It was viral for then, but like super, super viral.
So I think that if it happened today,
they would have like dug into his background immediately.
Yeah, that's true.
Milkshake doctor.
Yeah.
Okay.
Good job, Billy.
Awesome.

Who's back of the week?
Brought to you by visible.
Hank.
On my who's back of the week is Max Homa.
Yeah, buddy.
And USA.
USA, USA, USA, USA.
Suck it.
Max Homa.
Every other country in the world except for Europe.
He went 4-0 in his matches.
He had an electric walk-in putt on the 18th green on Friday
to win his match.
And the USA dominated and won the presents cup.
If Max isn't on the Ryder Cup.
Trap.
We riot.
Riot and a travesty of justice.
He was awesome.
He also didn't really.
The only the only critique I'll have of Max
is he played great golf is they did not plan beforehand
whether they're doing like chest bumps or hugs
because it was just a it was total like golf nerd
celebration where everyone was on a different page.
I did notice that at one point I think it was on a Friday.
He hit a putt and he did he started doing the walk away
like a foot or two before the ball went into the cup.
Yep.
That was sick.
Yeah.
Well they have the edits.
So there's there's a clip going around.
There's a Tiger one similar where it makes it look you know
deep fake internet stuff.
I saw that look like he walks it in and he just turns around
before the putt even drops.
He's got to start doing that for real.
Yeah.
That's that's a big ball or stuff.
Yeah.
I think he first he needs to yeah.
If you if if Max Homer does that in a major and it actually works
I think we can say that's the coolest moment in golf history.
Yep.
If he walks if he walks away from a putt when it's what do you
say more than five feet five feet or further from the hole
and it goes in like yes he is now your golden golf god.
Yep.
Yeah the deep fake video he basically hits it and then
turns around.
OK good who's back.
Thanks.
Great job Hank.
Thank you.
You can see.
My who's back of the week is Alanis Morset
Sublime
The Lumineers
Dave Matthews
Cindy Lauper
Jimmy World
and Pup Punk.
Nice.
Because Oceans Calling Music Festival is on Saturday.
Pup Punk we've been asked to play basically in front of like every
band that I listened to when I was 12 to 16 years old.
I still listen to the Lumineers they're awesome.
Yeah.
So it is actually this is a perfect time for the Lumineers.
This is the time of year where they're they're the hottest.
I always just I just hit Lumineers all of October and just
fucking let it run.
Yeah.
All I really want out of this week and it should be fun.
It's the Oceans Calling Music Festival.
It's in Ocean City.
So come out to the festival.
If not to see us and Pup Punk it's me, Roan, Robbie, Frankie and Nick.
And we're going to have a great time.
We're going to play some songs that you guys all know and love hopefully.
And we're just going to party your dicks off.
I'm just mostly excited about the possibility of meeting Sublime when I'm
there because like if you had told 12 year old me you're going to meet
Sublime and Boomer all in one calendar year.
I think I would say like, OK, I'll I'll accept that.
I'll accept that for my life.
I don't want to be a Debbie Downer here and I'm not too, you know,
well versed on my rock and roll history, but isn't like one of Sublime's dead.
Yeah. Bradley died in 1996.
heroin overdose before even breaking breaking news.
Yeah.
So what do you say meets Sublime?
Well, the other band members, Bud Gaw, Eric Wilson, still around.
So I thought I kind of yes.
The main guy that you think of in Sublime is has has been dead for a very long time.
Hank got it.
I never even knew he was alive until I found out that he was dead.
That's how dead he's been.
Yeah.
So that was thanks.
Thanks, Hank.
Kurt Cobain.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Jimi Hendrix would be there.
Um, I was the way I was.
Yeah, no, no, no, no, that's fine.
No, just take the wind.
The band's do keep playing.
One a.m.
Yeah.
What?
It's one a.m.
It's one a.m.
Yeah, it is one a.m.
All right.
My who's back.
This one sucks.
Albert Poulos, whatever.
It is 700th, 699 and 700 Apple TV, though.
So it didn't really count.
Yep.
But it was I hate the guy.
I hate the Cardinals, but even like after kind of ruminating for a little bit and being
salty about it and pretending that I was asleep and tweeting through it.
I was like, you know what?
That was a fucking cool moment.
And that's the only nice thing I'll say about Albert Poulos and the Cardinals.
So that was a cool moment.
Good for him.
He did it the clean way.
And good for him.
Mm hmm.
So there we go.
And honestly, too.
In terms of his personal information.
Yep.
Yep.
Exactly.
The high school picture of Albert Poulos.
He looks like he's fucking 40.
But yeah, 704 guys ever.
It's fucking crazy.
So again, this is it.
I will never say it again.
If you clip this and tweet it back at me, I will block you.
Good for Albert Poulos.
That was a cool moment.
You are now part of a very, very exclusive baseball history club.
Who else is in that club again?
Babe Ruth.
Barry Bonds, who we recognize.
Yes.
And Hank Aaron.
Wow.
That's it.
It's rarefire there.
Four guys.
That's it.
All those guys and no one else.
Pretty fucking crazy when you think about it.
We do recognize Barry Bonds on this show.
He's the best baseball player of all time on this show.
Billy.
My who's back is Zach Wilson.
He's officially back and cleared to play next week against Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh.
A game we can win.
And it's been a long time coming.
No, Mike.
Wait, is this breaking news?
He's officially cleared.
Yeah.
Salah said it after in the press conference.
Hell yeah.
I don't know if it's breaking breaking news.
I was.
No, we had it first.
Yeah, we had it first.
Good job, Billy.
I do.
You broke the news.
Take credit, dude.
Yeah, I'm taking credit.
Yeah, you broke the fucking news.
If anyone else tries to say they broke the news,
on Sunday people will like Ian Rapp will be like breaking news.
Zach Wilson is starting today.
No, no, no.
Billy football had it 1 a.m. Monday morning.
Yeah.
Facts.
You better hope he plays.
I know.
Your reputation is on the line.
I know.
And Sam Ellinger is in his performance was.
Yeah, I saw you up to your chart.
He was on that.
He was inactive today.
I know.
But he's been on a steady.
But they won.
Yeah.
Sam Ellinger's team beat the Chiefs today.
Yeah.
So but yeah, Billy had to begrudgingly credit to Billy.
He did update his chart.
Trevor Lawrence might be better than Sam.
Well, we I think it's time that we asked the question though was Sam Ellinger
doing such a good job as scout team Patrick Mahomes this week.
True.
He's probably the only quarterback in the league that could compare
and prepare his own defense for what playing against Patrick looks like.
Right.
Facts.
I think but on the chart, it's just a little dip of going down.
Okay, that's fine.
Yeah.
All right.
It's a marathon, not a sprint.
Jake, finish us off.
My who's back is Rihanna.
We had an outspoken in the afternoon today.
She will be headlining the Super Bowl halftime show.
Swifties, they got teased.
There were rumors that Taylor Swift was going to do it.
It was never confirmed.
And here we are.
I didn't know that there were rumors about that.
Yeah, there were.
Good.
Yeah.
Rihanna.
So we have our Super Bowl halftime show.
Love it.
Love it.
Okay.
Numbers.
Good show everyone.
Hall fame guest on Wednesday.
Oh.
Let's clap it up.
I know what Clappy was doing too.
Let's clap it up.
That was a specific clap he was doing.
Yep.
17.
69.
Let me get.
That actually will give it away to some people.
Let me get.
And I like that.
75.
26.
I'll go with two.
20.
Hey, have you ever gotten this?
No.
Really?
After right now.
What'd you guess?
17.
Oh.
100.
Oh, wow.
Is that first time?
Fourth time.
You've had that four times?
100.
How come I never remembered that?
We've had it four times.
Triple digits.
And when Billy stole 69 from us, we actually wrote 69 on this.
So if it came up, it was 69.
Is it low key 69?
Well, no.
You stole 69 from us.
No, I kept it safe.
I was kind of holding it.
You kept it safe.
It was a hostage exchange.
All right.
We'll see everyone on Wednesday.
Sharks are older than the rings of Saturn.
Love you guys.
Yep.
You called it.
Yep.
Called it.
Hell yeah.
PFT said you were going to use that like as we were walking around the studio on Thursday.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, because you told it to me.
I added it to my list.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, I just called it.
But you also said on Macadamia.
Yeah.
That's called it.
Called it.
You was going to be sad.
Sweet.
