Today is Monday, October 17th, Week 6.
We start in Steel City, where disgruntled Steeler fans were hoping mediocre Mike had
a rabbit in his hat as big underdogs.
The game started normal until, oh my god, the Bucks killed Kenny as Pickett exited with
a concussion, giving way to, I'm a Mitch, I'm a lover, I'm a thrower, I'm a passer,
as Trubisky was revived to ski to touchdown pass to chase Clay Pigeonpole from shotgun.
In a moment of frustration, Tom Brady was caught yelling at his linemen saying, you're
so much better than how you're playing, and I gave up my marriage to play with you fat
fucks.
Not all quotes in this program have been checked for accuracy.
Steelers stunned the Bucks 20 to 18.
Huh?
Huh?
Huh?
Cleveland, as the Browns were waiting for their maligned quarterback to return, it was
the opponent who made things really sticky with a zappy ending.
The Browns needed to be perfect offensively, as Bailey sang, all my life been thrown, but
it really don't matter no more, and they wonder why we act this way, zappy roots gonna be
okay.
Oh no, hell no, yelling up and punning.
All the Browns' nickel backs couldn't stop England's rushing attack, saying, this is
how you remandry.
Kevin Stafansky is gonna lose his mind watching this Zapruder film, Patriots 38, Browns 15.
In Indianapolis, where Jax Indy, also known as Harrison Ford, getting a hand job was a
game switching back and forth between the Jags and the Colts.
Matt Ryan looked like he had night vision goggles on as he connected with one night
in Paris Campbell to help erase an 11 point deficit in the first half.
Some are asking if we got hasty with our praise for the Jaguars, but your Michael scored and
ran for 57 yards to hold the criticism at bay.
Lasting third and 13 with less than a minute left, the Colts dialed up the Gluckluck 9000
with a touchdown pass to Alec Cooper Pierce, reminding everyone that the Jags do in fact
still suck.
And low key, Matt Ryan is Zaddy.
Colts 34, Jaguars 27.
We go down to sunny Miami, where Perk Cousins was handing out deadly pills to his receivers,
and everything was feeling alright for Minnesota Vicodin fans.
Mike Gasicki Thump passed the Big White Stripes twice for two scores, and two gritties, the
famous dance, and vented by his opponent, Perk Cousins, earlier this month in England.
It was McDaniel against McConnell, and folks, I wish this game was a little more competitive
as Teddy Vedder Bridgewater looked at Skylar Thompson and said, Coach, are you sure you
can't find a better man?
We're going to get to the rest of the fastest two minutes in a second.
But first, Pearl Jam, Minnesota 24, Miami 68.
Up to Hotlander, where George Kittleme, this, asks the question, can the Falcons go 6-0
against the spread in a revenge game driven by his coach, Kyle Busch Shanahan?
The Chinless Wander, handsome Hank, no, Arthur Smith had other plans on Sunday as the hopeless
wanderer, Marcus Mumford and Sons Marriota awoke his soul and shoved the Niners back
in their cave.
It's feeling good in Atlanta right now, but something's missing.
As our head coach was seen singing, I will wait, I will wait for you.
On a phone call to free agent Will Compton after the game, Falcons 28, Niners 14.
Down in the meadowlands, as D's nuts aficionado, Brian Debal, said, Hey Ravens, Lamar those
my nuts in your mouth.
Boy, you guys really miss Hollywood, you mind putting these nuts in your mouth, Brown?
Daniel Balleater caught one on his chin as a giant sack was put on the Ravens star by
Kavon Tippen.
Those my nuts in your mouth.
Hey, likely.
How do you like this dick, Isaya, the G-men 24, the Ravens 20.
Next up to Kansas City for a battle of AFC Titans that came down to the wire with Josh
Allen finding Dawson Johnny Knox for a touchdown, making the Chief's defense look like jackasses,
but not so fast.
Too much time on the clock for Patrick Mahomes, until there wasn't.
Ending the game in an interception, we now go down to Patrick on the sideline to talk
to us about the game.
Patrick.
Holy tomatoes.
That was a great finish to a great game, but I'm just taking pink each time we can get
on the field to have this epic game standing at 16 seconds, too much time on the clock
for me.
But sometimes you actually do give me too much time, I get a little bit of a britches
on that one.
And I'm just looking forward to seeing you in January now.
Thank you.
Back to you, Boat.
Thank you, Patrick.
Bill's 24.
Chief's 20.
Standing on a corner, James Winston down in Nola, such a fine sight to see.
Joe and Joe Marr smoking another cigar in their first game back in New Orleans, where's
James Winston, god damn I miss him.
He's got his back blown out like he's hanging with Bill Clinton.
The Bengals beat the Saints.
34.
30.
That sounds right.
30.
26.
And that is week six brought to you by our friends at Chevy.
The Chevy Silverado shows up week in and week out with unstoppable grit and determination.
Chevy Silverado is the ultimate tailgate flex with the available multi-flex tailgate and
power outlet built right into the bed from tailgates and stadium lots to off-road adventures.
Chevy Silverado has you covered.
Thank you to Chevy.
The wonderful Chevy Silverado for sponsoring fastest two minutes.
Week six in the books.
We're watching the second half of Cowboys Eagles right now, so we'll update everyone
how that goes.
Eagles looked incredible first half.
Lane Johnson out second half and Micah Parsons came alive, so this could be a big shift in
the NFC East.
It's interesting what they were doing the first half, they just weren't blocking Micah
Parsons and then letting Micah, like his hard charge that he would give, open up space in
the defense and then exploding the place that he used to be.
It's an interesting technique to be like, we're not going to block your best player
and somehow it's going to work, but maybe it's just the magic of the second quarter
Philadelphia Eagles because if you could build the entire game out of the second quarter
as the Eagles, you would be the best team to ever play football.
Best team of all time.
We also had Cooper Rush come back to earth with the QB rating of 1.0 in the first half,
huge first half for Dak Prescott.
We alluded to it last week that he was coming back down to earth, so maybe not a QB country,
but we will update it.
But let's get into the games.
Let's talk some football a great week six.
And of course we have to start the center of the NFL universe is New York City.
So let's go New York.
Let's start with Jets 27 Packers 10.
Hashtag Billy was right.
Billy, what a nice reversal for you after Thursday's outburst.
Yeah, definitely needed that.
This is big for you.
This was huge monumental.
It's actually like the perfect, the perfect way to wrap this up, because if it had ended
up the Jets getting blown out by the Packers, this is something, a story that we would
have kept going with you for a week at a time.
It would have been another week of hell for you.
By the way, hashtag be nice to Billy, be nice to Billy.
Billy's are Billy's are special boy.
I mean, I don't think it was mean to him.
So no, no, I'm not talking about you.
I'm talking about people online.
Oh, yeah.
Let's just, we don't have to talk about that.
Yeah, let's talk about the Jets.
OK, let's talk about the Jets.
All right, all right.
You brought some notes.
I like this.
Of course, I'm going to bring notes.
The Jets are one of the youngest teams in the league.
I think it was.
I always bring notes.
Oh, yeah.
No, that's what I said.
Always.
So 60% of their players are, I think, under 24.
OK.
So they're a super young team.
I mean, seeing what they did today, Sala calls them the baby Jets.
OK, nice.
And like, that sounds weird, but that just shows that something like this is going to
build.
They're the Cessnas.
They're the Cessnas.
Yeah.
Private Jets.
Private Jets.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I mean, just seeing all the young guys' ball out was amazing.
And I know everyone's like, oh, Zach Wilson had like a OK stat line.
Yeah, but the number one, the most importantly thing is he led the team to a win.
He ran the offense.
He has the keys.
And you know, it was a rainy day in Green Bay.
I think it was like frozen rain and, you know, airing it out in there probably wouldn't
have been the best thing.
What we did, what we had to do was we ran the ball.
Breece Hall is a beast.
Michael Carter, beast.
And then we were just gashing in the second half.
We're just gashing teams.
Yeah.
The special teams, like that blocked first kick, but then the blocked punt, the return
for a touchdown, is just awesome.
I mean, those are the big vibe plays that get the multiplier up and get stuff going.
Yeah, they're playing hard.
That's what you can say about the scene.
And like, you can't take anything away from this.
No, that wasn't asking.
They go on the road to Lambo, like Billy said, it was raining.
It was it was a nasty weather game.
And you play Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay and you beat the shit out of them.
There's nothing else you can say.
That's just a good win for the Jets.
That's a I think the jets are are maybe kind of good.
It's a benchmark win for a young team where it's like you win, you know, you you they're
basically doing all the steps because they won the crazy game against the Browns, which
was insane.
Then last week they go and they beat AFC East Division rival for the first time in whatever
it was like two or three years.
And then they go and they beat a team that has Super Bowl aspirations with a Hall of
Fame quarterback and not only beat them, but beat the fuck out of them.
And yeah, the Jets, everyone, if you're a Jets fan, you should feel very happy if maybe
hashtag be nice to Big Cat and PFT because I was getting hammered.
I mean, I was getting hammered all day on online, but Jets fans being like, see, told
you so.
Oh, yeah, today.
I was like, OK.
And then you guys you guys deserve to gloat.
This is yes.
You can't do the lows without the highs and you got to when the highs are high, you got
to fucking really just soak it in.
Yeah, you know what?
I feel bad for Packers fans that they have to watch that football team.
I think we can all agree on that, like, imagine being a Packers fan.
That would be tough.
As an owner, it's tough for me to support that team.
I think that when it comes down to the Jets building something, you're talking about like
this is a win that you can build off.
There are certain types of wins.
Yeah.
That you mentioned a second ago.
The next one they have to do is they have to absolutely throttle an inferior opponent.
You have to you have to beat somebody that was going to say beat the Patriots.
You have to beat them.
That is that's it.
That's its own one.
Yeah.
You have to beat an opponent that you're supposed to beat and just kick their ass all
four quarters.
Yes.
We were one play away from a clowning.
If they had scored on that final drive, it would have been a good Jordan Love came in
the game.
Yeah, it was.
Yeah.
I mean, the Jets defense was incredible.
Quinn and Williams was incredible.
Sauce Gardner is insane.
Like it's very rare that you have a rookie cornerback be that good six games in and he's
just shutting people down.
There was a nice graphic on on NBC football night in America that just said lost in the
sauce, which is that's also a sign like Revis Island was a thing.
You know, you need it.
You need a saying.
So having having like premier wide receivers get lost in the sauce is a good way to describe
what he does to guys.
Sauce said that it felt like a home game.
Yeah, you put on the cheese.
I fucking love that.
I love that you like you're the Jets.
You should not be this cocky.
And this is kind of what we talked about with Billy last week.
You've had no reason to be cocky as the New York Jets for a long time.
But to go into Lambo beat the shit out of the Packers and then afterwards to say, yeah,
Lambo feel kind of like it was felt like the metal lands really no difference.
I thought I love that attitude that he's got and he put on the cheese head and then who
was it?
So Lazar knocked it off.
Yeah.
Well, we saw to that run that he made was so sick because it was not supposed to be
that play.
So if you watch the play, he was supposed to pitch it back to Garrett Wilson.
And he said afterwards, he's like, I just saw space.
So I was like, fucking, I'm going for it.
So he liked that.
It was like, what a 35 40 yard touchdown run.
If you watch it back, it's sick knowing that it was supposed to be him tossing it back.
And he was like, oh, I saw my seam and I just fucking took off.
You know, there was.
Brees Hall was was mocked by some as a pick.
Not not by us, except for when Jerry O'Connell picked him.
But I saw people like Jets fans going after pro football focus guys.
That's that's all part of the like that's all part of it.
Jets fans get to have that moment.
Their team looks really good and really young.
And they should enjoy the fuck out of this win because it was a absolute asking.
Yeah, I you are well within your rights to reply to any of my tweets.
Oh, they already know the part of my take to have you've had open
season on this day. And honestly, we will wear this one.
Billy was right about it.
A couple other things.
This was like a LaFleur family battle here because Mike LaFleur is the
offensive coordinator on the Jets who then proceeded to clown his brother
in Green Bay. That's kind of cool.
Yep. Also, I feel like this might be
star of a tipping point for Aaron Rodgers to start turning on Matt LaFleur
as his head coach, because after the game, he said they need to fix some
things offensively simpler, make them simpler, simplify some things.
All of it. A lot of it is simple mistakes.
If we're making simple mistakes on complex plays, to me, we need to simplify some things.
He also said that he took big time ownership and he said he has to raise his game a tick.
Well, yeah, a tick. Now, he he threw that raise my game a tick in
after he said all this stuff about how bad the coaching was.
And the game plan is like, oh, should I better toss in something about?
I guess maybe I could like wake up a couple minutes earlier in stretch order.
No, the the Packers are broken.
And like talk, I I know that I've fallen for this trap before,
but they don't have any top end talent at wide receiver.
The entire like build of this team was supposed to be elite defense and be able to run the ball.
Their defense is not elite yet.
Maybe it gets there, I don't know.
But it's clear, like I'll say something nice about Aaron Rodgers.
He basically has to play perfect for them to have a chance to win.
And sometimes he does.
It doesn't feel like any.
If you're watching these games, it feels like none of his wide receivers
are getting any type of like big time separation.
And he's got to make perfect passes to have those big explosive Aaron Rodgers type plays.
And yeah, I I don't want it.
I don't want to get excited, but I think the Packers are officially broken.
I don't think they're broken.
I think they're they're in the process.
They're bending, they're bent, but don't break.
That's that's two games.
The Giants and Jets where they were where they're a touchdown favorite in both.
And it just doesn't like Aaron Rodgers doesn't lose these type of games at home,
especially off of a loss.
What? Yeah, it feels a little different.
That was in England.
England's different.
I'm just saying I'll create them over there.
He's probably nervous going into the game.
Feels a little different.
Well, quick thing.
Last thing I just want to say, Jets sacked them four times.
Quinn Williams with two sacks.
They pressured or hit him over 20.
Like I think it was 25 times.
Yeah, it's a lot.
They were all over him.
Jets defense is hitting.
That's a lot.
Yeah, the Jets defense.
Good. Oh, I guess Aaron Rodgers is playing the commanders next week.
So I'm sure it'll get right game now.
But there's been like they've had multiple get right game.
You know what I mean?
Like they beat they barely beat what was what seems to be not a great box team.
They barely beat a Brian Hoyer started Billy Zappy in relief Patriots team.
Lost the Giants lost the Jets.
Like I only the only great win they have is they kick the fuck out of the Bears.
And I even said at that moment they didn't embarrass us like they usually.
I actually I'm changing my mind on next week.
Commanders coming off a mini by dude.
They've got a little momentum and guess what?
Taylor Heineke starting.
Yeah, no Carson Wentz.
He broke his finger was first reported on.
Pardon my take.
Hopefully he's OK.
I mean, God forbid he has to stay up for the rest of the season.
But Taylor Heineke is coming in and Taylor Heineke.
If there's one thing that he does is he comes off the bench
and he plays electric games and sometimes steals one.
Yes. So I'm all in on the commies.
I'm already declaring commies against the spread this week, no matter what.
I'm just saying like you see the you see what the Packers have done
so far this year and it kind of you're like, oh, wait, that's weird
because it was, you know, week one classic.
Oh, they come out slow.
Then they play the Bears and they're going to beat the Bears.
They always beat the Bears and I know that's going to happen.
They do that.
Then they beat the box.
And I was like, well, that was a slugfest.
Two teams that could be the NFC championship game.
The Bucks kind of stink.
Yeah. And so I don't know.
I think the Packers might be broken and they have to play the Bills
after they play the commanders, which will be the bills.
They'll probably kick their ass.
So probably kicked the path.
We're even trying to beat them.
Yeah. Pats weren't even trying to beat them.
That's right. Good point.
That's a fact. Good fact, Hank.
They were just trying to get out there with a tie, right?
That's that's a fact.
Absolute fact. Good point.
OK, so also Aaron Rodgers looks stupid playing in the giant yellow helmet.
Yep. Every year that that happens, it's like him and and Crosby.
It always looks like they're that little Martian cartoon.
Yeah, they're like aliens. Yeah.
Those those those jerseys and the Steelers jerseys are the worst throwbacks.
The worst. You don't like the bumblebees? No. No.
It's also like the and they have good regular jerseys.
Right. I don't know. I never understood.
That was kind of my point with the with the Bears wearing the orange helmets.
Like there's old school classic franchises that should never
like, why would you fix a Packers jerseys or Steelers jerseys?
You're like, they're just they're good.
They've been around forever.
Just do that. OK, so the Cowboys just scored. Jesus.
Max has completely let me down.
This game is completely flipped.
What's wrong with the Eagles in the in the third quarter or fourth quarter now?
Now.
This is this is bad vibes for you for your boy.
Undefealed. Yeah, this would be bad bad timing.
We put the undefealed season long.
Seventy and old and jam you in one weekend.
That sucks. Sorry. Yeah.
I'll take I'll take ownership of that.
Damn it. I I have lost every bet today.
Because I was going to I was going to do a pizza party for the Eagles
if they I was going to double it.
Yeah, I was going to double it.
OK, so go moving on to the next one.
So congrats to the Jets.
This is definitely a moment in time where Jets fans should be reading
and listening to everything on Monday, because it's I mean, that was an ass
kicking and it was so much it's it's fun when you get an ass kicking
and also you get to throw in the the block punt for for a touchdown.
Yeah, those are just ass kicking plays where it's like we own this team
in all three phases and what did Salah say?
He's going to be jamming things down.
Oh, he's got the receipts. Yeah, we have our roads are wide open.
Oh, we are open wide for Robert Salah.
Just throw him in there.
So next up, like I said, New York City is the the football capital of the world
right now. Last time that the Jets and Giants combined for nine wins
through week six was 2010.
So it's been over a decade and the New York Giants are five and one.
They beat the Ravens 24 20.
Brian Dabel is far and away the coach of the year through six weeks
through six weeks down 20 to 10 in the fourth quarter.
They do one of their patented like 75 yard drives where they eat some clock.
Get a big turnover and the New York Giants like they're Brian Dabel is
making a good team out of just a not great roster.
It's like string, duct tape, a code hanger and like craze from sandpaper
that he's put together.
And he's I think he is the best coach in the NFL right now.
I think without a doubt, he's coach of the year.
His teams are fun to watch.
As we said, his offense is fun to watch, even though it's Daniel Jones running.
And I will say, say, I'll say Daniel Jones.
I owe you an apology, young man.
I wasn't really familiar with your game.
Daniel Jones is playing pretty good right now.
Yeah, he's doing everything they're asking him to do.
And he plays hard and his teammates like him.
That's apparent. That was never really the question.
But under Dabel, this team has become like sneakily fun to watch.
And good. Yeah.
And very good.
Like they're a very solid football team.
They're never going to beat themselves.
And they're not going to blow anyone out.
So I think there's people that are probably going to do the schedule game
and say, Oh, well, they barely beat this team.
And they know that's kind of what the design is here.
They stick around long enough that they got to make one or two drives
and they can win a game.
And it was I was shocked because it felt like the Ravens were in control
the entire game.
And here's here's the craziest part about the Giants, the five and one New York Giants.
They're up upcoming schedule at Jaguars, at Seahawks, Texans and Lions at home.
They could easily be eight and two, nine and one.
Yeah, like those are, I don't know if they'll be favored in all those, but they will.
We could be sitting here in December and being like, whoa, the Giants are
like, what's going on here?
That's they are surprising people.
And Brian Dabel has my vote for coach of the year.
He has mine too.
He has my vote.
Yeah. And Daniel Jones again, like proving even even Daniel Jones had the
the classic Daniel Jones interception, but then was called back for, I think it was
pass interference or something where it was like, you had the moment where you could
in your head make the, oh, here comes Daniel Jones again, classic Daniel Jones.
Like, nope, like vindicated Giants.
Yeah, there's a lot of things you can say about the other teams that are like five
and one in the league or in the Eagles case, undefeated for now.
For now, you can, you can call them like exciting.
You can call them a wagon.
You can call them a lot of different things.
With the Giants, you just call them a football team.
Yeah, they're just like top to bottom of football team on defense.
They're opportunistic.
They take advantage of a lot of stuff that the that the opposing offense gives them,
even though Max, which is named Max Andrews, the tight end on the Ravens on the Ravens.
Mark Andrews, Mark Andrews.
Sorry, Mark Andrews, the tight end on the Ravens.
He had that one play in the end zone where through the ball to him and he like batted
it up in the air like he was a volleyball player, trying to set it for somebody else.
They didn't pick that one off, which they very easily could have.
But they're very opportunistic on defense.
Yeah, no, Max and Cave Antibodou was awesome.
Like he this was his arrival moment.
This was the moment where it was like, OK, that's why you did a top 10 pick on him.
This is why the questions out of Oregon, like, does he love football?
OK, let's let's put that aside.
And he's a really fucking good football player and he had the big plays down the stretch
that and you need a couple of guys like that, you know, for a roster
that doesn't have anyone to have a couple of top end guys.
Also, Lamar Jackson, this was his first time losing to an NFC team.
That's crazy. 12 and 0.
I don't today. I have no idea.
That's a that's a wild. That's a wild step.
But his performance in the second half, like he is not having a good season
in the fourth quarter this year, his stats in the fourth quarter.
Yeah, he only has one passing touchdown.
He's got four interceptions, five turnovers and a passer rating of 56.3.
So they've blown three double digit leads.
Yeah, the Ravens as a team in the first three quarters, they're plus 62.
Yeah. And in the fourth quarter, they're minus 42.
You know how they have problems.
We talked about creating like a platoon of quarterbacks.
If you have like a starter, a middle reliever, a set up man and a closer.
I actually sat down and made a list when I was watching this
after the Ravens choked this one away and the Giants won.
But the Ravens again, this is another big fourth quarter blunder that they have.
My ideal quarterback, if I could have a situation where I have a starter,
a middle reliever, a set up man and a closer.
Lamar Jackson, first quarter.
Yeah. Jalen Hurts, second quarter quarterback.
Yeah. Mitch, third quarter.
Yeah. Coming off the bench.
And then Kyler Murray, yeah, Kyler Murray's got to be fourth quarter.
And then if it goes to overtime, Tim Tebow.
OK. Or or patch Mahomes or Mahomes. Either way.
You can do Mahomes in any quarter.
But yes, I like that. I like that lineup.
That's that's a solid lineup.
Show me where it loses. Yeah.
No, that's that's a good lineup.
But yeah, the Ravens, the Ravens are just weird.
They just have there's flashes of them being the Ravens of old.
And then all their losses this year have been like inexplicably bad.
Yeah. We're like, how did you lose that game?
What happened there?
Like that Dolphins lost.
Yeah. That was soul crushing.
Right. And again, credit to the Giants because the Giants like they're
basically Giants go into every game being like,
let's just hang around long enough where they'll fuck up and we'll we'll win this game.
And that's what they've done the last few games.
Also, nice to see Kenyan Drake forgot about him.
Yeah, I can.
He was awesome for the Ravens today.
I can never figure out if Kenyan Drake is the most perfectly average
NFL running back.
He must be because he keeps getting chances and then he'll have games
where he averages like 2.1 yards per carry.
Have a streak of like four in a row of those.
Yeah, have a game like today.
Yeah. No, Kenyan Drake is is anecdotally speaking is it has to be
like the number one fantasy shared guy.
Like everyone has had Kenyan Drake on their team at one point.
Yeah, either drafted him or picked him up on waivers and been like,
because you know what?
You do that thing where you look, you look at the total points
and then you look at the game log.
It's like, oh, yeah, that's because he had three touchdowns one week.
And every other week, he scores two points.
We're like, fuck it.
What if he has a three touchdown game? Kenyan Drake?
I think he's a guy that has been handcuffed more than any other running back.
I feel like it's like besides OJ, it's you draft a guy
and then you get Kenyan Drake as your backup and then he comes in
and has like two games where he scores a total of three touchdowns.
Then you forget about him for the season.
Right. And then you maybe you maybe keep him on your bench
and he just, you know, doesn't do anything.
And then that one week he does something crazy like, fuck.
Yeah, I forgot about starting.
Yeah, that was I think that was 2018 for me.
I think I had Kenyan Drake.
Kenyan Drake was sitting there on my bench and I didn't start him.
But yeah, nice game for him.
So shout out Kenyan Drake just still out there doing it.
Yep. Also, I did.
I bought more part of my cheese steaks and me and Billy.
I'm going to douse my cheese steak in the hot sauce to make it up to Billy
for doubting the Jets.
That'll be on PMTV if you want to watch.
OK, nice, nice, love it.
So that's New York football.
Kings, Kings of the NFL right now. How about it?
Like we were Hank and I were talking.
We've been living in New York for what, six and a half years.
They've never been good.
Need like together.
They've never been good.
They I mean, the Giants went the boat picture picture was kind of the end of it.
But yeah, it's like crazy to see both of the teams doing well at the same time
for the first time in what feels like forever.
New York's a football.
Since we moved here. Yeah, it's really.
2010 was the last time they had this many wins through week six.
It's really a football town.
That's all this the city cares about right now.
Yep. And you got two coaches that are front page news.
If the Sprannos was still going on, they'd both make cameos.
They'd be great.
You see that guy over there?
That's the man genius.
That's Salah.
That's Salah.
After we get our check, he'll make you eat the receipt.
OK, next up, another shocker of the day, Steelers, 20 bucks, 18.
Mr. Biscay, the Mr. Biscay revenge game.
Not really, it's kind of revenge against his own team.
Yeah.
And also, he just owns the box because he had his best game ever as a pro
when he threw six touchdowns against the box in like 2018, I want to say.
But the Steelers shocked the box when 20 to 18.
Should we start with Steelers, Mike Tomlin, like he is
so perfectly Mike Tomlin in that even when he's bad, when their team,
his team is bad, he will always get one of these games where it's like,
oh, the Steelers are nine point underdogs.
Oh, OK, Mike Tomlin is going to find a way to get them going.
Rah, Rah, Mike Tomlin, he's just that's just what he does.
He got teams don't his teams will never quit.
Like, you know what I mean?
Like it's crazy that the Steelers looked like the worst team in the NFL
last week against the Bills, and then they show up today.
And it's not like they look like world beaters,
but they went toe to toe with all three starting cornerbacks out
and make a Fitzpatrick out.
And this is the first time the Steelers now have won a game
without TJ Watt since he was drafted, which is a wild thing to say.
Yeah, they were ONA before this.
I have no idea how they won this game, to be honest.
And it's not like it was a fluke the way that they won it,
because I think they were the better team today.
But just judging on what we saw against the Bills last week,
compared to the team that came out in the first half this week, crazy.
It looked like night and day, like even before Mitch got in the game,
when Kenny was playing, it still looked like they were the better team out there.
Yeah. And then Mitch came in, Mitch played fucking lights out against him.
I think I think the box might be bad.
Well, a lot of people, this is this is actually a great conversation
that we're having because Tom Brady went to a wedding on Friday.
Might have gotten drunk at Mr. Kraft's wedding.
Bill Belichick didn't go to that wedding, spent that time preparing.
Patriots win. Tom Brady loses.
Let's have it. First of all, Robert Kraft getting married in the fall is a bullshit.
I actually think it's crazy that Robert Kraft got married on a Friday,
which is a big time there. That's a poor person move.
But it's also like it's football season, dude.
Yeah. You did it on Friday.
Yes. Yeah. That's why you do it in the other eight months of the year.
I do a summer wedding.
I think a Friday wedding during football season is the only appropriate way to go.
Probably agreed.
But I still that's shocking that he would get.
He would get married in football season.
Yeah. There's a lot of months that I mean, we hate them.
The worst months, the months without football.
Yeah. That's when you have your wedding.
They won't even say those months.
But what if it was a big plan by Kraft to get Tom Brady to come to his wedding,
get him drunk, then he would lose just a big revenge against Tom.
So I mean, Tom Brady looked bad.
And it also like it looks like Tom Brady's powers were taken away
because he also got stuffed on a I think it was a third in one, not a fourth in one.
But he got stuffed on the like classic.
The Eagles just scored.
Thank God. Now you got to hold that lead, Max.
Now you got to hold that man's drive right there.
That was a big boy.
That was a big boy.
They just ran the ball down their fucking throats right. Yes.
He's Philly showing.
He's ready to fight.
I said, you swear a lot, Max.
Wait, what did you what did you say, Max said, said.
Yeah, that's that's like a famous Philly's fan video.
Yeah, he was just screaming that into his selfie video on Saturday.
We're going to we're going to talk about playoff baseball, but Max just going
like kind of borderline on tears and just screaming said, said, said.
Last week, when we were watching football out in the gambling cave,
when Max gets really excited about something, he almost gets sad because I think he looks around
because he's like he's looking for somebody that's doubting him so that he can fight them.
And then he gets sad because there's no haters around.
Yeah, no, I like it.
It's like like a waiter would come over and just be like, sir, you're Philly showing.
Can you please tuck that back in?
Like this is a fine establishment here.
We're going to say Billy is Tom Brady technically single now.
I wouldn't. I mean, he's still married.
Wedding is a great place to meet chicks.
Yeah, that's right.
He is married, not divorced officially.
What are you asking, Billy?
Did you find him in?
He might have been at the wedding just like late night.
You know, I tagged you in that tweet.
Did you see the kid on your corner?
What does that have to do with that?
No, I did see it.
I've taken myself out of the Giselle bachelor, bachelorette thing.
I'm not interested in courting Giselle would never work between us.
I don't think that we have anything in common.
I would not be able to handle giving up football in the fall either.
Yes. So Giselle, you can find you can find that good dick somewhere else,
because it's not happening here.
Keep moving on, sweetie.
By the way, the Eagles are going for two to go up the major vibes to what the fuck, Max.
This is where I do not agree with you, because now I'm completely fucked.
Oh, no, the Cowboys kick a field goal.
Why are they going up to right now?
Why are they going for two?
They're up nine because the vibes right there.
They just converted a fourth down because the vibes are high.
The vibes are high.
This is my only concern with the Eagles this year is Nick Siriani's
decision making, getting on like later in games, they're blowing everybody out.
Sportsman like penalty was they're doing it on the first.
It's on the one year.
OK, that's probably that's not going to make sense.
That makes sense. They got stuffed. Oh, my God.
And now I get fucked.
Why? And now I get fucked.
Why didn't they just fuck you, Max?
You fucking piece of shit.
Sorry, I didn't mean to say that.
This is this is what concerns me about it, because the Eagles haven't been in close
games. We don't know if Nick Siriani is a dumb, dumb when it comes down to the
end of games or not.
He might be a great coach that gets his team ready to play.
But I don't know.
Yeah, I don't know. OK, so close game last week.
All right, well, just get the stop and I won't be mad at you.
That's a good point, Matt.
It's a great point that that was unfortunate for me.
OK, that was a man's drive.
But back to the Steelers, Bucks, the Bucks might just suck.
I. It does feel like Gronk needs to come back and save the day.
Tom Brady, like I said, got stuffed on a QB sneak, which you never ever see.
I think it's the most effective play in football when he QB sneaks.
The Bucks also, if you take out the Wild Chiefs Sunday night game where it was
just back and forth and they were down early and they were throwing a million
times, the Bucks have scored six touchdowns in the five other games.
That's not good. Six offensive touchdowns in the five other games.
They've yet to score a first quarter touchdown.
It feels like something's broken.
And I know it's kind of similar to the Packers' conversation.
Like, don't doubt Tom Brady, you'll figure it out.
But it does.
It feels like he's more frustrated than he's ever been.
And their and his team is more broken than they've ever been.
He was barking at his offensive linemen this week.
Really, like right up in their face.
You guys are better than this to like almost.
Yeah, you could say that when Tom Brady does it, it's different because he's
Tom Brady, yeah, and he's allowed to like demand excellence out of people like that.
But it didn't seem like they were enjoying being screamed at.
No, I don't I don't think I don't think anybody in that situation would.
But yeah, I think I think the Bucks are they're not good.
They haven't played good. That's no point play.
Like even when they win, they're winning ugly right now.
And you could say, yeah, like the Packers, they're missing weapons.
Cam Bray is probably out with a concussion for at least a week or so.
Shout out, Mincey, our good friend in the gambling cave.
Cam Bray went down with a concussion and was like, do you think Gronkh will come back?
And Steve and Che was just like, can we get him off this?
Can we get him off the field on the stretcher first?
I mean, that injury was was bad.
It was bad. And that when he went down, he seemed like he was OK at first,
like moving his arms and legs.
And then people started sending out tweets being like something bad just
developed in the course of his injury when he was down the field.
They double injury music to him.
Yeah, he got that was bad.
Yeah, they went they went to commercial with the injury music, came back,
saw that the stretcher is coming out, out, then went back to the commercial
with injury music, double injury music. It's bad.
You got to have a slower version of the injury music for the second time.
Yeah, like injury music chopped and screwed. Yeah.
Put it on half speed. Not good. It wasn't good.
I think he's OK now.
But it was yeah, it was it was kind of honestly like scary
because whenever they come back from the break and then there's more people
on the field than there were before, that's when you know that it's bad.
Yes, yes, trainers that that normally don't come off the sidelines at all.
Got brought out there. Yes. But yeah, on the football aspect,
the Bucks aren't very good right now.
No, they're broke. I'm just saying it.
They're they're like something is wrong.
And you could just see it like they're they're offense.
It feels like outside of Leonard Farnett, who gets the dump offs
and he runs really hard, it feels like they have no ability to stretch the field.
It feels like there's no consistency like on third down plays.
It feels like everyone's very covered.
They've now lost two games, not being able to convert a two point conversion
at the end of the game, which is like crazy for a Tom Brady offense
to not be able to get a two point play. Right.
So what did did Antonio Brown tweet anything out over the course of this game?
I feel like he would have some takes, but I'm blocked by him.
So he was probably still hung over from Robert Kraft's wedding.
Yeah, he's probably there. Yeah, he probably was the band.
Yeah, he probably showed up in his mind.
He was the band. Yeah.
Pitch of the palace. Yes. Yes.
He was doing that for sure.
But yeah, it's his last tweet from two hours ago. OK.
Put that shit on now days off now days off.
I like that hashtag now days off.
I do. I do have anything to say about about the game.
Remember three hours ago. Remember, I'm always bad.
Remember, I'm always bad.
Balls, attitude, direction.
All right. I like that.
Jake, can you put a reminder for us to remember that Antonio Brown's always bad?
Balls, attitude, direction.
And I got one more. It's A.B. not A.B.C.
A.B.C.'s for kids.
I don't like that. OK. Yeah, I got it.
Sure. Yeah. No, I don't either.
But I think I think Antonio Brown just like pops and Adderall opens up
Photoshop and he's like, how can I how can I get my name in the news this Sunday?
Yeah, let's get after it. These are interesting.
Yeah, OK. It is.
It is. It is very interesting to watch.
I'm pissed off that he blocked me.
Can you ask him to unblock me?
Yes, I'll ask right now.
Who are who to the box?
Let's I want to take a quick look because I feel like with the box
and the Packers are actually very similar and that we just keep saying,
well, there's a get right game coming.
And this week was the get right game for both of them.
Well, they got the Panthers next week.
OK, so that is that's the official get right.
OK, well, yeah, that's I guess that would be the only thing that you could say
pro box is that they're outside of the Falcons who are very frisky
and fun and will get to them.
It does feel like they'll win the South no matter what.
You know what I mean? Yeah.
So like they have a little bit more unlike the Packers who have the Vikings
who are playing good football, the Bucks do have a little bit more of a room
for error where if you had to put your life on the line right now,
you'd say the Bucks are going to be the plan.
Yeah, but I'm actually thinking about putting a few Krupa Rush interception.
I'm thinking about putting a future on the Falcons
to win that division. Oh, I like I like the Falcons.
They're frisky fun. I think they're better than frisky.
No, they're frisky fun. OK, yeah.
That's a combo. What about combo play?
Is that better or worse than being legit?
This it's a step below legit. OK, so you go frisky.
Well, you can go fun.
And then when you're frisky, you're starting to get good.
And then when you're frisky and fun, it's like, whoa, what's going on here?
We got to start paying attention to this.
In my look ahead, I've got the Falcons as a don't look now team.
Yep, yep, that's yeah, they they could they could be somewhere
in a few weeks to be like, whoa, where'd this come from?
Yeah, don't look now. There's Smith.
OK, before we get to the next game, let's do a quick word from our sponsor.

OK, speaking of Louisiana, Bengals, Saints, Bengals win 30 to 26.
Jamar Chase and Joe Burrow just love the Superdome.
They love the dome.
Home cooking.
They love the dome so much.
They had so Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase have played two games in the Superdome in
college and NFL, Joe Burrow's 763 yards, eight touchdowns.
Jamar Chase, 353 yards, four touchdowns.
So they just love the dome.
It was cool.
Joe Burrow came out in the hallway before was wearing Jamar Chase's national championship jersey.
They basically that was we want to talk about get right games.
That felt like what the Bengals look like last year, not only with Joe Burrow finding
Jamar Chase for the big plays, the explosive plays, but also the Bengals
getting kind of exposed in the first half and then the second half changing
their their entire defense and shutting it down.
Yeah, that was what they did last year down the stride.
This actually might be the official end of the Bengals Super Bowl hangover.
Yeah, this week.
I feel like New Orleans is their get right that marked the end of it because now
they get to bank some wins, probably.
Yeah.
And when you look ahead, like you can I love to do this is just count wins and losses.
And I'll usually I usually be completely wrong about them.
But I feel like going in not until like December 4th, they play the Chiefs.
That's going to be their next hard game that they have.
And I feel like the Bengals could probably put five or six wins
in their column after that or before they get to that point.
So this was this was big for them.
And I do think that there's something about just being in a room that you like.
Yeah, they've had success in that naturally you play like it.
It was so easy when they threw that ball to Jamar Chase.
And Jamar like just turned around, shrugged a guy off and then easily beat a guy
to the outside. Yeah.
That was a man who was comfortable in the room that he was.
Yeah. And it was I mean, I think obviously Saints fans are not conflicted.
They want to they want to win.
But it's got to be a lot of those Saints fans or LSU fans are like, oh,
this looks familiar. Yeah.
Not as fun having it happen to us instead of for us.
But yeah, it did feel like the the Bengals like for the first time this year
looked like the bank and they didn't win convincingly.
And that's kind of what they did last year down the stretch.
You know what I mean?
Like having those games where first half they don't look great.
They figure some shit out and Joe Burrow hits Jamar Chase and it all works out.
And yeah, it Andy Dalton revenge game falls flat.
Thought I was going to happen for the Saints were just running the ball down
their throat for a while there, including my new favorite name in the NFL.
I don't know if you saw this guy scored a touchdown Rashid Shahid.
Yeah, awesome name.
Hall of Fame name from Weber State undrafted Rashid Shahid.
He had the long run, right?
He had the I think it was a jet sweep or something where he was basically like,
wait, is there any we're going to tackle? No, no one's going to tackle.
Oh, his name is Rashid Shahid.
It just it kind of sucks watching the Saints without James.
Yeah, if you're if you're going to give me a game with no James,
just give me a taste of Hill game because at least those can be fun.
Those are exciting.
It's something different going on.
Now, you're just so I want to make sure you're on the record.
And y'all nice guy.
And you don't very nice guy.
In fact, I think he's going to make a fantastic nine and eight
quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts next year. Nice guy.
But right now, I don't want to see him playing for the Saints.
Right. He's it.
And he don't have a good backup, but I don't want to see more than two weeks
of Andy Dalton in a Saints uniform.
It's a bummer.
And it was nice, though, having like the whole revenge game factor
because, you know, it did feel like Andy had a little pep in his step to start.
And he realized that he's Andy Dalton and he's also old.
And yeah, the Bengals
like just waited for the Saints to not be able to run the ball.
And it's just like, OK, now the game's changed.
So we talked a couple of weeks ago about Kamara and the pending
litigation that he's got going on in Las Vegas from the Pro Bowl last year.
Yeah, I did not realize this, but he is currently being sued
for ten million dollars for the assault in the nightclub.
I don't know what happened.
I want to preface all of this by saying I have no idea what happened
or why he got arrested or what happened between him and the other guy.
I just think that if you're suing somebody for ten million dollars,
you're probably just trying to get a paycheck out of him.
You're probably trying to get one million dollars.
Yeah, the settlement out of court.
I don't think that you actually have ten million dollars worth of damages.
Right. If you're the type of person that would file a ten million dollar lawsuit,
my guess is you probably don't have ten million in the bank right now.
Yeah, I think the lawyer just says to you, OK, here's what we could do.
We could either sue for exactly like how much the damages were,
which are like, I don't know, let's say fifty thousand dollars.
And he'll probably pay it right away or we can sue for ten million dollars,
put it in the press and hope he gets scared and just gives you like half a million.
Yeah. And that's how that's lowering one on one.
It's everyone who everyone who's thinking about being a lawyer.
Oh, my God, the Eagles just fumbled.
That's not good.
Max, they're going to blow this cover.
They're going to blow this cover.
They're going to blow this cover.
They got fucking they started playing chicken shit football
and they're going to blow this cover.
I got him at seven.
What do you have my sixth ball?
So you got you're but he's nervous.
He's nervous.
I'm nervous because of you.
Yes. That's why I'm nervous.
Yes. I don't have the I don't even have the credit to me for even being
in this seat right now.
I got my guts ripped out today in the NFL and I'm not even being a Debbie Downer
about it. I'm trying to talk about games and get pumped up because I love football.
But I got my guts ripped out just strewn about like fucking the most
horrific thing about Game of Thrones like
crab feeder, the crab feeder red wedding, the the C section and episode one
of this new show. Yeah, I got everything.
That was all that.
That's what my day was.
And I'm sitting here with a smile on my face.
I'm the meme with the with the cry, the smile and the cry behind.
But I'm here trying to fucking talk football.
So I need the Eagles to cover this game.
Max, that's where we're at.
That's where we're at as a podcast.
I too very much would like the Eagles to cover.
But you don't need it.
I know. I don't think you care about covering.
I know about winning.
You need it. I need it.
I need it because it's my fault.
Hey, what do you have?
The Cowboys money line or something?
No, I was going to say Max doesn't care if they cover.
No, he does not care if they don't cover and they win.
He's walking out of here with a smile on his face and he's going to go to sleep.
Just hit the pillow and go right to sleep.
He's texting all his fucking filly scumbag friends being like birds, birds,
right as the Cowboys score a touchdown to backdoor cover.
What was the word you kept screaming?
Said, said, said.
That's a Philly's thing.
Was that was that it can?
I don't know. It's it's this old Philly's like news video.
This one guy after a Philly's playoff game, it just gets really excited.
And then he says, said, said, I've never watched.
I watched the video probably like 20 times because I've never seen someone
where I'm like, is he is he crying or is he happy?
Like you're you're just that's just a motion.
I know your motion is as raw as he just cut a thing of onions.
Yeah, like I couldn't like someone that's what I'm talking about.
It's a bird. Yeah, it's a fucking bird.
Yeah, it's a fucking bird.
It's I couldn't I couldn't turn away.
It was it was raw.
And I told you before, did I not tell you on Thursday?
I was like, because you're like, I'm going to the game on Saturday.
I was like, get video.
Like feel free to tweet for the part of my take account, because that's
that's raw sports emotion that we want.
We love that shit. What are you going to say, Hank?
Oh, you're turning off.
OK, Bengals, Saints.
Yeah, Bengals feel like they might be back.
I miss James. I miss James.
And you don't nice guy. Bengals might be back.
Give me Taysom Hill.
Give us Taysom Hill.
Give us way more Taysom Hill and we can we can we can live with that.
OK, next up, Henry.
Yes. Oh, OK, so PFT.
Yeah, Hank is 100 percent in on Bailey's happy
and has forgotten who Mac Jones, of course, of course, he is Patriots 38
Browns, 15 Hank.
Yes, Bailey's happy.
Like, are we thinking you can get a second and third for Mac Jones?
What are you thinking?
Listen, I don't want to.
You guys keep trying to turn this into a me versus Mac Jones.
Nothing to do with Mac Jones has nothing to do with them.
Hank, it was a very is a simple question that big could ask you.
Yeah. How much do you think you could get in?
I don't know.
I don't know how the trade market works.
I don't care how the trade market works.
I'm focused on what we have and in the quarterback that we have as our starter.
What do you think would be a fair price?
Bailey's a fair price for Mac Jones.
You have to say Zappi. Zappi.
You can't say Zapp. The Zapster.
No, he's Bailey Zappi.
That's the fun part. The E rhymes be happy. Yeah.
I don't know what you get from that.
I don't know how trades work.
Oh, so you're considering it?
No, I'm not. I'm not the.
If I were to say, like, OK, we'll give you like two second rounders.
I would say we should keep Mac Jones because we're not sure.
You know, it's it's still early.
OK, OK, how about how about two second rounders for Bailey Zappi?
No. OK, there we go.
That answer that.
How about what about hang up the phone?
What about a first rounder for Bailey Zappi?
I just no, absolutely not.
Bailey Zappi. Yes.
So you are definitely Bailey Zappi won
Mac Jones Distance Second right now.
It is fun that Bailey Zappi is good
because it's like confirms what he did at Western Kentucky
where it was like, oh, who's this fucking guy?
Bailey Zappi, weird name. He is.
He's good. Yeah, he gets the ball out.
I called this a long time ago.
He's just got zip on the ball.
He does. He.
When did you call this a long time ago?
No, I was about to say.
I said there was going to be quarterback controversy in the in the Patriots,
like halfway through the season.
I said Zappi was going to start at some point.
Yeah, Bailey Zappi was good.
He's he's a he's a fun quarterback.
He's very fun.
The thing is, I could never imagine him even anyone
even trading for Mac Jones, because I think about he had
Saban in Obama and he had Belichick in New England.
Like, have we ever seen Mac Jones stand on his own?
Well, he got recruited to Alabama
and then drafted by the Patriots for a reason.
Right. But like those coaches Zappi saw the talent in him
and took him on their team because they wanted him.
Yeah, but Zappi was in Western Kentucky,
like standing on his own, like putting up points.
Like what's so he got drafted.
Mac Jones got drafted.
Mac Jones is like a very glorified game manager
that gets hidden in the system a lot.
I don't this is people that turn this
that Zappi Billy.
I have nothing against Mac Jones.
I think Mac Jones is a great quarterback.
I think if like he could lead a team in the playoffs,
he did lead a team to the playoffs last year.
There's nothing wrong with Mac Jones.
Bailey Zappi just throws the ball harder.
He's a sexier quarterback.
I enjoy watching him more.
Yeah, that is not a knock on Mac Jones in any way, shape or form.
I hate that people are like, you just threw Mac Jones to the trash.
It's like, no, he got hurt, which was unfortunate.
Bailey Zappi is very fun to watch.
Let me ask you this.
How much better do you think those Alabama teams would have been
if they had Bailey Zappi?
Wow. Yeah. A lot better.
Well, OK, so this is it's it's fun
because you obviously have probably like the most
historically relevant, most famous backup
coming in for a starter, you know, with Drew Bledsoe and Tom Brady.
So everyone's making that thought.
Like if there's one guy who'll do it, it's Belichick, right?
And on top of it, I think what you need to do, Hank,
and we see this all the time, the NFL, Cooper Rush is a similar thing.
Jacobi preset in this game.
You just got to ride it until maybe it doesn't work anymore.
Yeah. And if it keeps working, then he just maybe is Tom Brady.
But if like that's what you need to answer is just like,
we're riding the hot hand for a little bit.
People forget in that 2001 season, Brady got her in the AC championship game.
Drew Bledsoe won in the game.
So you're going to be Mac Jones when you the AC championship game.
Yeah. Is what you're saying.
Yeah. And also in this comparison,
Mac Jones is as good as Drew Bledsoe is.
Right. I'm not making those comparisons.
What's funny? I'm just enjoying the product that the Patriots put on the field.
It's a natural. I'm a big fan of Bailey Zappi.
I love what he's doing out there. I was a big fan.
I am a big fan of Mac Jones.
I think he's a perfectly good quarterback.
Again, you guys are, I feel, I feel bad for you guys.
You don't understand what it's like to have a QB lead a team to the playoffs.
Mac Jones went to the playoffs last year.
Can I do a blind test for a blind resume test?
QB one, 64 for 97, 786 yards, two TDS, five interceptions, one and two as a starter.
QB two, 51 for 70, 588 yards, four touchdowns, one interception, two and O as a starter.
I would take the guy that's going to turn into Tom Brady.
QB two. So that's Bailey Zappi.
It's like a double-edged sword because you've got the expectation that's already set there.
You've got the precedent that a late drafted quarterback can become the guy of the future.
You know that. But at the same time, you can't let the standard be Tom Brady.
You know, like he might just like if you if he's just a loser mentality,
if he's just a very good quarterback, then that's fine. Right.
He can be. We did it once. We can do it again.
Also, you know, it's going to stop. I mean, here's what's going to.
You probably can. He's going to be.
He's going to become Tom Brady and then Belichick is going to coach for another 20 years.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
And just win soul crushing football games, smile one time, one time a year
and just be dominating my mind on television.
Yeah, that is exactly what Billy Zappi is going to do.
Other highlight of this game was the the Patriots recovered a fumble on a punt.
Yes. And then the guy that recovered the fumble,
I believe, is a rookie tried to give the ball to Belichick.
Yeah. And Belichick just looked at it.
And it was a disgusted look I've ever seen.
And it was like, get the fuck out of my. Yeah.
And then another coach just walked over and like escorted him out like, sir,
like, please, please do not, you know, tap, tap the glass here at the aquarium.
It was let Bill Belichick be by himself.
It was very funny because it was obviously Brinn School or trying to get
in his good like a kid giving an apple to a teacher. Yeah.
He's like, here you go. I got here.
Thanks. Thanks, coach.
Just want to let you know we appreciate everything you're doing.
And the guys like, don't don't talk to Bill.
Yeah, it was similar to like my son showing me a rock that he found.
Yeah, Bill. OK, cool.
Listen, Bill knows you as the second number 41 on the team. Right.
Please don't get this ball to him.
This is going to be OK.
So we're watching it.
The Eagles are now in its third and 10.
Although I do love Brinn Schoolers' entire vibe.
Yes. Well, no, you know what he is.
The fucking Bayley Zappi's going to be Tom Brady.
Brinn School School is going to be.
What's the name? Slater.
Like this guy's I feel like he's made like three or four plays
already on special teams this year.
This is just a little check.
It's just I think we need all over a good looking guy.
It's crazy. It's crazy.
Mac Jones is supposed to return maybe for the Jets game in two weeks.
But if he loses that game, he's done.
I mean, Billy's I would kill the bears.
I would be surprised.
Like, I don't I don't I'd be surprised. Oh, my God.
I'd be surprised if.
Unless Bayley Zappi puts up an absolute stinker next week,
I would be surprised if they take him out of starter.
I don't think you can. No.
Well, he's he's playing the Bears next week.
That's what I'm saying. So unless by some miracle,
that actually is a great litmus test.
If if Bayley Zappi loses the Bears, cut him.
Like that's I'm being honest.
The nicest thing, though, is like you've got the last image of Mac Jones.
Should we pause? Having a what?
They're going to kick a 59 yarder to try to backdoor cover.
This is crazy.
I mean, this is crazy.
This is all happening right now.
Fifty nine yards, nine yarder to try to cover backdoor cover.
Oh, my God. This is bullshit.
This is bullshit.
Hold. It is wide.
All right, Mr.
Winner, boys.
By two feet.
E. I. G. L. E.
Solid Eagles.
OK, that was that was that was a fun little
you got to watch us watch the end of the game.
Great job, Jake. No, Jake didn't.
Jake's the games on over.
Yeah, I said they do have two timeouts.
I guess that's true.
I don't think that's enough time.
I don't think that's enough time.
I think they can kneel at 40.
I don't know how clocks.
No, because two timeouts figure
cuts down like a minute and 40 seconds.
Yeah, they might. Oh, no.
They take an intentional safe.
No, no, no, no, stop.
They're at the 50 yard line.
Stop. Stop it.
This is how this is how bad this day has gone.
But like, dude, what if I have to push that thought down
because you can't do that right now?
I could I could see Sirianne doing it.
This is really like you're just seeing a tortured
hurts is very fast because he's going to run backwards
because he has to run.
But they have to run.
They wouldn't do it right away.
They would not do it right away.
He's going to probably just run it right in the line.
OK, go down easy.
Cool. All right.
Let's talk about how we do have an update.
Antonio Brown followed me back on Twitter.
Oh, what the fuck?
He follows Jake.
See if you unblock the unblock the unblock the unblock.
You have them right now.
Say, say, Mr. Brown.
When I'm looking at who's following.
Oh, wait.
Say.
Oh, I'm walking both of you.
Tony Brown, follow me.
I know.
Let's go right now. Get blocked right now.
All right.
Block.
No, I just.
Yes.
OK, I think I have to.
What should I say?
I just tried to get you out of jail
and I got you.
Yeah, but now this is kind of fun.
Now you're trying to go back in.
It would be a rush.
Oh, my God.
What should I say?
I can't believe it worked.
Wow.
He's a little dick.
He follows YouTube.
Did he already follow you?
I don't know.
Hey, AB.
He followed both of you.
No, big head.
I'm tweeting him right now.
Oh, I'm just DMing him.
OK, hey, I DM him all the time on Instagram.
He's probably my most frequently DM person.
Never writes back.
Hey, AB84.
Why do you unblock me, you piece of shit?
Oh, my.
He's going to block me now, too.
I said, hello, Mr. Brown.
When you say bad and you're referring to your balls,
just how big are they?
So let's see how that goes.
Is that a tweet or a DM?
That was a DM.
And I actually say, pics or it didn't happen.
Thanks for unblocking me.
What if he sends me his balls?
That would be insane.
Oh, I can't believe it worked.
So that was like 15 minutes.
That was incredible.
I've been hunting that unblocked for a while.
No, I mean, I tweeted.
I tweeted him to get PFT out.
And it worked.
That just happened?
Yeah.
Did you check before you tweeted him?
What?
So like between, did you check if he followed him
before you tweeted him?
I followed him 15 minutes ago, and he followed me back
five minutes ago.
OK, hey, AB, thanks for unblocking me.
I bet you don't have the balls to block me again.
How does that sound?
That's nice.
Bitch.
That sounds great.
Bitch.
That sounds great.
All right.
OK, what were we talking about that we got?
We went from watching a field goal get missed.
I forget.
To DMing Antonio Brown to back to Brown's Patriots.
We're talking about Belichick.
Yeah, he's just doing it again.
He's just doing it again.
Go Belichick's never going to die.
He's doing it with all hope.
He's going to get decapitated like Ted Williams,
and his frozen head is going to be like attached to Steve
Belichick's body, and he's going to continue coaching
for the next 100 years.
Yeah, and probably like eight more Super Bowls.
He's going to have to buy new boats every year.
It's, how confident are you feeling?
Very confident.
I think, I mean, the Dolphins have already fallen off.
The Jets are riding high.
I'm excited for two weeks from now.
Oh, you're just, OK, that hurts, but it's fair.
But it hurts.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm not going to pull a billy, but you guys are sad.
It's a Monday night game.
I feel bad for you guys.
The worst part is I love Monday night games,
because I can just sit on my couch and do nothing,
and I'm plan on doing that.
But this one will just especially ruin it.
Like, I'm just going to sit on my couch
and just have my Monday night.
Yeah, but like, you'll have a first quarter driver stop,
and you can be like, the bears are back.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
No, you know what I actually want to do
is if the Patriots go up 7-0, I might just,
I might just tweet the hack.
Yeah, the hack, tweet and just go to bed.
That would actually be nice.
That actually is what I'm going to do.
I think Peter Strager got hacked, and it was like,
I'm signing MacBooks and sending them out
to the first six followers or something.
I'm going to use that one.
So when they go down 7-0, I'll do that,
and I'll just go to bed.
And it'll be that, and it'll be nice.
And I'll watch every second of it
and be like, the bears are back in my head.
We should go to the game on the 30th.
We should bet on a cheesesteak.
Yeah, ooh.
Yeah.
I noticed you didn't say shot a hot sauce, Hank.
I'm fucking, I'll do the whole bottle.
I'm not scaring a hot sauce.
You're going to douse it?
I love hot sauce.
We got to make this a secret menu item.
Get it Billy style.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was a bitch the other day.
I'm sorry.
I just had a really bad experience with hot sauce.
Billy, it's fine.
You don't have to say anything.
Again, we, you're just going to get your...
Just tune into PMTV to see,
it went on for another 45 minutes in the studio.
Some quick advice here, Billy.
The more you talk about the more
we're going to want to make fun of it for it,
and then you're going to get mad again,
and then the whole thing's going to happen again.
So I'm just going to stop you right now
in an effort to help you.
Right.
Because every time we re-bring it up,
then we all, like we Hank and PFT make jokes,
and then you get mad again.
Because I'd be like, yeah,
remember when you walked away and like you were pussy,
and you're like, that wasn't, then you get mad.
It's like, dude, I'm joking.
And like, you've never actually been in a real bar fight.
Right.
You know, me and big cat have.
And hot sauce has just completely dominated your life.
Like you wouldn't eat that shit.
And then you get mad.
You guys.
Right. You're doing it.
You're getting mad right now.
You're getting mad right now.
You guys aren't being, you know,
PTSD is a real thing and you guys aren't being thoughtful
or care about what Billy's gone through in his life.
No, Billy is a soldier.
So he probably does have PTSD.
For sure.
See, you're getting, don't, don't let the little jokes
get to you here.
You did go through a traumatic experience,
factor fiction.
Right. You ate one hot wing.
One.
No, one bite.
It was one bite.
It was one bite.
You sniffed a hot wing.
You guys can't fight, so.
You can't fight?
Ignore them.
Ignore them.
I don't think you can fight because somebody DMed me
a video not that long ago of something you did.
From Italy?
Was he rolling?
No, it was a different one.
It was a different one.
Was it a rolling video?
No, it wasn't.
I don't think it was rolling.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Oh.
He's about to admit to a crime.
Wait, in his head, he just realized.
Oh, fuck it.
Fuck with it.
Okay.
It might not actually have a video,
but you almost admitted to a crime.
Yeah.
Yes, tune it to PMTV.
But Billy, you didn't need to apologize.
So apology, not accepted.
Officially, from me.
Because you didn't need to apologize for anything.
Okay?
Thank you.
Pussy.
You just accepted my non-acceptance of apology?
Just kidding.
I'm kidding again.
I'm kidding again.
Thank you, Billy.
I'm kidding again.
I love you, Billy.
And the people who are being mean to Billy,
shut the fuck up.
You guys are actually the biggest pussies.
That's a fact.
It was kind of bad, Godcast.
Doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter.
It was actually, you know what, Billy?
We have been putting on a bad-posting podcasting
clinic for the last 20 minutes.
And guess what?
And guess what?
It was also bad for our entire history of this show
is bad podcasting if you actually break it down.
We break all the rules.
But here's where it was good podcasting and good content.
The Jets winning today had everyone tweeting at me and PFT
and wanting to listen to this show
because they're like, what are they going to say to Billy?
What is Billy going to say?
I had a list of-
That's storylines, baby.
That's content making.
I did have a list of things I was going to say
if it got like argumentative.
Wait, tell us.
You thought we were going to-
I don't know.
I mean, the Jets killed the Packers.
I didn't know how I was going to go.
You are fat.
Wait, you are a fucking bum.
Wait, what did you think we were going to do?
They killed them.
I don't know.
There's just a couple of statistics.
I didn't want to bring them out.
Oh, give us one.
Bring them out.
Bring them out.
It's hard to yell.
They're just comparing franchises.
I don't know.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Nice.
Give us one.
Come on.
No, you got it.
You got it.
We've all been nice to each other.
I only brought this.
Give me the list.
I'll read it.
Billy had the Costanza Jerk Store line ready to go
two days later, four days later, whatever it is.
Give us one.
What are you writing down?
Just in the past seven years,
the Bears and the Jets had the same amount of wins
against the Packers.
Oh.
Okay.
Oh my God.
No, that's actually bad.
That's actually a great stat.
The Jets beat the Packers, whatever it was,
four years ago.
I think it's in the past seven years.
Right.
So the Packers have how many wins against,
or how many wins the Jets have against the Packers?
Let me check that.
Okay.
I just saw it.
Pressure's just won.
I think they have the same amount.
Wait, hang on.
I know we beat them.
I think it's just won.
We just basically, every few years,
we injure Aaron Rodgers and beat them.
So.
Yeah, 2014 and 2018 was a win for...
Two wins.
Two wins.
2014.
Yeah, 2014 and 18 for the Jets.
Right.
So that's three.
No.
Counting today.
2014.
We definitely beat them in 2018.
No, 2022.
This is not really bad podcasting.
Yeah.
I'm reading every time.
I mean, ever since that Cowboys field goal,
it's been...
The Bears beat them in 2018.
We beat them in 2018.
We beat them in 2015 on Brett Farr's retirement night.
We are.
We're just chatting.
We're just having a chat.
Did Antonio Brown hit anyone back up?
I'm gonna let you know.
It looks like the Jets have only won once
against Green Bay in the past seven years.
So now I'm pissed that you didn't bring these up
because that was just a false fact.
Wait, one second.
People have been tweeting this at me all day.
We got to see the next stat.
Next stat.
Billy, I know the Bears beat the Packers in 2018
and I know that they beat them on Farr's retirement night
on Thanksgiving, 2015.
The Jets beat the Packers yesterday
and then this is their first one since 06.
Okay, so that was just not correct.
2018, overtime, 2014, 31, 24, 2010, nine, nothing.
Okay, so that's just not a correct stat.
Close though.
Next stat.
I've been getting this all day since.
Yeah, what else did you have, Billy?
Who sent it to you?
Just people like Jets fans?
Yeah.
Okay.
What else have they sent you?
I didn't vet it because I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings.
Okay, smart.
Yeah, that's a good excuse for not checking a fact.
I mean, that's a really easy fact to check.
I didn't check it because I didn't want to.
Your own, your own feelings.
Billy didn't check a fact because he didn't want,
he was thinking about us.
Oh man.
Okay, all right.
All right, okay.
Back to Patriots.
Patriots are back.
Patriots are back.
Patriots are back.
All right.
What I wanted to say was, yeah, Patriots look good.
Browns, I feel like I circled a few different coaches
this week.
Stefansky is a circled coach where it's like,
is our things maybe not great now
because his defense is terrible
and his offense makes no sense anymore
because he has Jacoby Berset.
They're waiting for Deshaun Watson.
They have one of the best run games
and he seems to like go away from it all the time.
They were down a lot in the second half,
but it was a, what was it at halftime?
I think it was like a six point game or something
and it was 11 point game in the third quarter.
They ran 34 passes to five runs in the second half.
They just basically were like, Jacoby Berset,
we know your limitations as a quarterback.
Let's have you try to win this game.
It was 10, six and halftime.
Yeah.
And then, and then Jacoby Berset happened in the second half.
They're whispering over there trying to figure out
how many times it just.
Six years, he would be right.
Six years, okay, so that's one.
It's one win, one loss.
You can kind of count the year because after it happened.
I don't know what that means, but yeah.
It's like, it's like, you know,
is it next Sunday or this Sunday?
It's like, oh, there was no year zero.
Right.
Got it.
Like bodybuilding.com.
Exactly.
How many days are there in a week?
Okay.
So it's right.
Got it.
Sort of, but not really.
Stafansky is one of those coaches where I'm still,
I always look at Stafansky as being like,
you made the Browns good.
Right.
So like coach for life, in my opinion.
But they got rid of Baker and I think
Browns fans are sick of his shit right now.
Yeah.
Because he has what could be a winning formula
and a good roster.
And they don't run the ball.
He hasn't really done anything with it.
But from an outsider, no Browns fans will hate me
for saying this, but from an outsider,
it's like, dude, you should love this guy.
I know, but.
He got you, he won you a playoff game at Pittsburgh, right?
At the Steelers.
You should build a statue for him.
But I also understand the frustration.
And it's like, he's proven himself to be not that great
of an in-game head coach.
And it's also like, you have the Sean Watson
coming in halfway through this year.
Next year, you could maybe do like a full,
fresh start with Sean Watson.
Yeah, yeah, right.
It was the moment that I was just,
because we had the game on and I was like,
what the fuck is Kevin Stafansky doing?
It was the end of the first half.
They were going in, they were on the 29 yard line.
It was second in one.
They had, I think all three timeouts or two timeouts.
And he passed the ball twice instead of running
for one yard with Cream Hunt or Nick Chubb.
There was 50 seconds left to wherever you call,
run to get a first down,
take a couple of shots in the end zone.
Instead, they passed twice, didn't get it,
had to kick a field goal.
Like what's going on here?
So I don't know.
I just circled him.
He's one of the head coaches I've circled.
Another one out West is going to be fun to talk about
later on in the show.
I think I know what you're talking about.
So one other thing that I thought was kind of funny
after the game, Jason McCordy, did you see his tweet?
He tweeted out that he goes,
the type of brother I have,
Jason McCordy obviously used to play in the NFL
for the Browns and the Patriots.
Devin, his twin brother, still on the Patriots.
Jason tweets out the type of brother I have.
He facetimes me after his win in Cleveland
from the locker room so I could see what it's like
to win a game in Cleveland.
When hell of a guy he is because he was 0-16
on those Browns.
Funny story, when we were at Rutgers the other weekend,
I'm on the sidelines.
I see Jason McCordy.
I go up to him like,
hey man, we love to have you on the show.
Got to get you back on.
Also, you've been killing it on TV.
I love watching it.
You're doing great.
And he was like, excuse me?
I was like, yeah, man, I'm really impressed
with how you've transitioned to doing media stuff.
And he goes, you think I'm J-Mac?
And I was so fucking embarrassed.
I know what I'm sure happens all the time.
You should have just kept it with TV.
But then I go, yeah, you could be good on TV too.
You should come on part of my take.
And he was like, okay, we'll be in touch.
Well, no, you should.
He's never gonna be in touch.
You should have just,
you should have not said the media part
and been like, yeah, dude,
I'm talking about Sundays.
Like watching you.
I'm watching you ball.
I watch your film all day.
That's funny.
Yeah.
I mean, it happens to happen to Belichick.
It did, yeah.
It's football.
I have to in Belichick.
Yes, me and Belichick handshake.
You know, the old stat, like people will make the joke,
you know, this team lost to the bi-week.
This one kind of sucks for Lions fans,
but the Browns now have the second worst points
against in the NFL, 163.
The Lions are still first 170
when they lost to the bi-week.
Whatever.
I mean, that's tough.
You've seen the post.
Dan Campbell is gonna put that up on his wall.
Yes.
As motivation, how to respond
from getting dragged down into the mud.
This is another thing Dan Campbell has to overcome.
Yes, yes.
He loves it.
Okay, next up Vikings Dolphins.
Let's see where we want to start.
The Vikings like weren't great,
but they, it felt like they should have blown them out,
blown out the dolphins.
The dolphins were yet again playing the QB Carousel.
So this is now the third game in a row
where with the QB that started didn't finish the game.
Can somebody explain to me why Teddy Bridgewater
didn't start this game?
And why they had Skylar Thompson start
because if he could play in it.
I can.
So Mike McDaniel's offense is he stresses so much
on the game plan, having the practice reps.
Teddy Bridgewater couldn't practice.
Okay.
So he got cleared on like Wednesday to practice.
Right.
His big deal is like with the install that he does,
he stresses that the QB that is going to start
needs to actually practice the plays
and how they're trying to attack the defense.
So he said that he was like, I, you know,
Teddy was okay, but Skylar had the first team reps all week.
And that's very important to me.
I think that's, that's a situation where maybe
if you're a coach that's been in the league for longer
than a year as head coach, looks at the roster and says,
okay, we can start something called a Skylar Thompson
or we can start Teddy Bridgewater.
Yeah.
And then back to Skylar Thompson.
He was good at what Kansas state.
Yes.
He's a very good quarterback there, but like Teddy Bridgewater
is a very good backup quarterback.
He was a very good Kansas state quarterback.
He was the guy who just like, they would get into third
and long and make a big pass.
And then he would also just run like straight ahead,
right up the middle and get like seven yards every Kansas
state quarterback ever.
That's Kansas state.
Yeah.
It was awesome.
He was great.
But yeah, it was, so third straight game that they stay,
didn't, they started with a different quarterback
than they finished the game with.
I would say that's probably not conducive to winning.
They were still kind of weirdly in this game.
And I don't really know what to make of the vikings.
They're five, five and one.
Yeah, they're five and one.
Yeah.
They're five and one.
They're good.
I will say they're good.
They are a good football team.
You see Kirk Cousins after the game.
I was blinging.
Kirk Cousins after the game, he's now doing a thing
where like every player on the team that has a chain
just gives it to Kirk to where after a win.
Yeah.
And I gotta be honest,
Kirk's, he's winning me over.
No, when I saw that clip, I was like,
this is how my football Sunday is going.
Cause I'm losing everything.
And then Kirk Cousins is like kind of looking cool.
Kirk Cousins is objectively a swagger person than I am.
A kind of looking cool on a five and one vikings team.
I just, I lose it everything.
He legitimately looked like a guy that could pull off chains.
Yeah.
And that, this is Kirk Cousins.
This is Cole's cash cousins that we're talking about.
He, he's starting to win me over.
I know it's bad.
Don't.
I know it's bad, but Big Cat, he's five and one.
He's looked good this year, except for the Eagles game
where he looked like trash in prime time.
Classic Kirk prime time.
He sucked.
But every other time he looks good.
He's, I'm like 80% back to being back on Kirk Cousins.
Yeah.
I mean, they're, the vikings are good.
I say it.
Oh wait.
Anthony Brown hit me back with just a crying face emojis.
So I'm not getting a picture of his balls.
I am also, I don't really know what to make of Kirk Cousins.
I still think he sucks,
but I will, I'm man enough to admit that the Vikings are good.
They're good.
And their defense played well today.
And Justin Jefferson is still incredible.
Adam dealing caught a touchdown.
The dolphins, they had one of the most hilarious stretches
where they had, they had five penalties in one drive
and they had, which you never really see in an NFL game.
It happens like in Mac football,
which shout out Mac coming back soon.
They had a first in 30 and a third in 28,
which is very rare to see,
but it felt like they kept on shooting themselves in the foot,
including Jalen Waddle, who now Jalen Waddle is very close
to becoming like the drop sees guy and the fumble guy,
which you never want to have.
And then when the Vikings turned them over,
they did the waddle in the end zone and that sucks.
That was bad to have that.
That's the only problem with having a signature touchdown
dance is that it gives your opponent something to do
in your face.
Yeah.
When they score against you.
So Kisiki did the gritty.
He tried to redeem himself on the gritty.
I think this podcast,
since we are experts at the gritty,
we should become the judge on who has,
like we should rate the gritty.
Yeah. Who has the nicest gritty?
I say, I still say Kirk Cousins is the best at the gritty.
Yup.
You tend to disagree.
No, I mean, yes, I disagree.
You disagree with that.
I would say Kisiki is better this week
than Kisiki was two weeks ago when he did the gritty.
Jamar Chase is doing a little variation on his gritty
because he's like, all these Kirk Cousins is doing it.
I have to do something different.
So he has like a little bit of a pop as well.
So much so that I brought him up again.
Stephen Che thought he tore his hamstring doing the gritty.
He's like, Jamar Chase just hurt his hamstring.
I was like, dude, that sucks that you thought
that was a hamstring injury
when he was just being cool doing the gritty.
The thing I like the most,
maybe actually the least about Mike Kisiki's gritty this week
is how long it went.
Yeah.
It was like, it felt like he started doing the gritty.
Then he imagined that people were giving him like applause
for an encore.
He kept doing it all the way to the side.
Too far.
I think he started doing it in the middle
of the next play that they ran.
It was just, it was probably like a minute
and a half long gritty.
The gritty should be five seconds long.
At most.
At most.
Yeah, the Dolphins though, they outgained the Vikings
by 222 yards and lost this game somewhat convincingly.
So weird game.
Mike McDaniels, he's obviously not a coach
that I've circled, but the aviators look not as fun
when you're losing.
You look good when you lose.
Yeah.
He can only wear those in Miami too.
I don't want to see him wearing those on the sidelines
in any other city.
We also look weird in like Buffalo
if he's wearing the aviators.
Yeah.
We also got a hilarious update to the ping pong table.
I'm sure you saw this, but the ping pong table
was not taken away because they wanted to focus
on game planning.
It was taken away because it was damaged
and Tyree Kale said he's working on getting a new one
and the players only tournament is still on.
They're actually upgrading their ping pong table.
So it's kind of the reverse
where the ping pong table is getting taken away
not because they're trying to eliminate distractions,
but because they want to improve the quality.
They want to like quadruple the money that they've spent.
They want to play more ping pong now, which is fine.
I think that they should probably lean in
and play as much ping pong as they want
as long as two is their quarterback.
That's really the main concern.
I think if two is playing, they could win this game.
They probably would win this game.
Yes.
Yes, I'd agree.
So weird times for the dolphins.
They just kind of, I think it's baby steps right now
with dolphins just start a game with a quarterback
and finish the game with the same quarterback.
Tyree Kale had that thing happen to him that he always has
where he had like 175 yards and then his muscles
since his body is so compact,
his entire body just cramps up into a little ball.
And he has to just check himself out of the game.
Not any like severe pain, but his muscles just kind of,
they like have a revolution against the rest of his body.
And he's like, we got to shut this down.
We're performing at such incredible performance rates
right now that we can't sustain another play in this.
We're moving so fast.
Yeah. He had 12 catches for 177 yards.
Here is a completely mind blowing stat for everyone out there
in dolphins history.
Most games with 10 plus receptions and 150 yards.
Tyree Kale is the leader with three.
Shut up.
It's week six.
I was going to say like eight other guys are tied with one.
Chris Chambers.
Dude, he has three already.
And that is the leader in dolphins history.
That's insane.
You know what? That's a big,
that's fucking insane.
That's a big black eye on Dan Marino.
Yeah. Yeah. That's true.
That's incredible.
Yeah.
But that's, that's a crazy.
I know that you obviously, you know,
when you do those stats,
there's like 10 receptions, 150 plus yards.
I'm sure there was a lot of guys like nine receptions,
200 yards or whatever it may be.
But Tyree Kale, like that's just crazy.
Three times he's done it in six weeks.
I feel like Jarvis Landry should have had some of those games
because he definitely had some double digit catch games.
Unless I got Billy fact,
I mean, it was a CBS sports account that tweeted it.
So that's their fault.
Blue check.
So that's, that's an insane stat.
That is crazy. Yeah.
What are you going to say, Billy?
My stat was technically right.
No.
Not at all.
What do you mean by technical?
No.
The way you said it, no.
Seven years ago.
So that was the second time.
So you just cut it off there.
Yeah.
So, what?
So no.
If you change with the definition of the number sevens.
2015.
Yeah.
So you're just cutting it off.
Yeah.
2015.
That's what I read.
Now let's just say like crazy.
This is not going to happen.
The Bears are not going to beat the Patriots,
but if the Bears did beat the Patriots,
could I do that same stat back to you?
Yes.
Probably.
Yeah.
How many times did the Jets beat the Patriots?
Have you checked that one, Billy?
How many times did the Jets beat the Patriots?
I think the last time was when Sanchez.
That's crazy.
They haven't beat it.
It's before the Bumble.
That's where I'm like, we're the same.
2015 also.
Yeah.
So we're the same.
Your team is better right now, but we're the same.
Right.
But we have really young players.
Yeah.
No, you're ascending.
I don't take back anything I said.
You guys should be totally pumped.
But that's why I was like, what are you talking about?
We're, we get beat by our rival.
We get our fucking shit kicked in.
We don't win.
We have every now and then we have a couple of years.
It's like, oh, NFC championship game,
NFC championship game.
And then back to just sucking.
I was for a second during the first half
when it was very scoreless.
I was like, yeah.
Let's hope that the Jets continue it because if the Jets
have a good year this year and then they suck next year,
I'd just be like, that was the 2018 Bears.
Right.
Right.
Here's another CBS sports tweet that they just put out.
Packers last four seasons, 2019, three losses.
I don't like this.
2020, three losses.
I do like that.
2021, four losses.
2022, three losses.
I like this.
Already.
I like this.
The CBS sports account.
It's happening.
Pretty good.
They got the good, good.
Oh, they also have a tweet.
Max, I do want you to address this
because you've talked about this off the air here,
but we need to have a discussion on the air.
They've got a picture of the receivers
wearing the Batman t-shirts.
What's going on with the Philly receivers
calling themselves Batman?
I thought we had talked about this.
I don't think we said it on the air.
Yeah.
Fast Batman.
Yeah, Darius Slay.
This was earlier in the year.
Darius Slay, someone asked about like,
there's a Batman and Robin situation
in the receiving quarter of the Eagles.
And he said, no, they're all Batman.
We just have Swole Batman, AJ Brown,
Skinny Batman, Devonte Smith,
and then Fast Batman, Quest Walkins.
That's pretty late.
Do you even multiverse, bro?
Yeah, no, you gotta figure out better names.
You can't have like Swole Batman, Fast Batman.
Well, it's also just flames and like all someone else.
A bat, something.
Isn't Batman all three of those things?
Stanley.
Okay, it's not Skinny.
Yeah, it's not Skinny.
You can't force a bat nickname on someone.
Yeah.
There's nothing like, there's no bat in Philly.
Makes no sense.
It should be like Rocky.
It should be like Swole Rocky, Skinny, Rocky, Fast Rocky.
Just everything needs to be Rocky.
More it's Rocky and Rocky.
She stays.
Yeah, right.
Eagle man.
Okay.
Or just Rocky V, Rocky II.
Yeah.
I like that.
I like that.
Quality of the movie.
Okay, let's do an ad and then we'll get back on track.
I'm enjoying this show.
Like a number one writer-saver would be Rocky III.
Yeah, yeah.
Before we definitely don't get back on track,
it's brought to you by Coors Light.
Our weeks are filled with deadlines,
responsibilities and just stress in general,
but it's college football season.
And when the weekend hits, Hank's running out of the room.
I think he has to go use a bathroom.
He's a big poop guy.
Coors Light's for everybody.
It's for if you're a pee guy, a poop guy.
Just a guy.
It's college football season.
When the weekend hits, you've got to protect your chill.
So this season, make time to chill out
and catch the game at your favorite bar.
And while you're doing it,
order an ice cold Coors Light,
the beer that's made to chill.
I love this ad read because it's an ad read
telling you guys to go to a bar and drink beer.
So go enjoy yourselves.
College football Saturday,
go to a bar, order a Coors Light,
because part of my take told you that it's okay to do that.
Protect your chill this season with Coors Light.
Coors Light is the beer of college football.
As a matter of fact, that's your homework.
This Saturday, go watch college football at a bar
and drink a Coors Light.
That's your homework.
I hate to be a teacher.
I hate to be the heavy,
but that's what we're going to do this weekend.
We're drinking Coors Light.
The mountains are blue all fall.
No matter how your team fares after the clock runs out,
Coors Light in your hand means that you're winning
every time.
Protect your chill this season with Coors Light.
Get Coors Light delivered straight to your door
with Drizzly or Instacart
by going to CoorsLight.com slash take.
Celebrate responsibly.
Coors Brewing Company, Golden Colorado.
Okay, we alluded to it earlier.
The Frisky Fun, Falcons 28, the 49ers 14.
Look at these Falcons.
Are the Falcons maybe good?
I think the Falcons are definitely good.
Definitely good.
I think the Falcons are definitely good.
Not necessarily all the time
as far as points and scores go,
but I think they've got,
they've got the building blocks of a good team.
Yeah.
I think that they are good
when they're not Falcons in a good way.
They have to get the stink of the Falcons off them.
And what they did today was they,
it was very effective.
They got dressed up as Deion Sanders.
They did.
And when they put on the red helmets,
they look amazing when they wear the all blacks.
They look amazing.
It kind of helps to shred some of the,
it's like a snake shedding its skin.
The Falcons just needed to get a little bit
of that stink off them.
I think that they're a solid football team.
Yeah, they are well-coached.
Arthur Smith, our friend, recurring guest.
They are a very well-coached team
because they are kind of similar to Brian Dable
and what he's doing.
Arthur Smith knows his limitations as a team.
He knows what they do well, what they don't.
Here's a little fun stat to prove this.
The Falcons are now three and O
when they ask Marcus Mariota to complete 13 or less passes.
There you go.
Three and O.
So they basically, Marcus Mariota was 13 for 14 today.
He ran in for a touchdown as well.
He threw two touchdown passes.
Basically, hey, don't kill us, Marcus.
We'll run the ball the most.
The Falcons are also leading the league in rush attempts,
which you'd think like, oh, the Browns definitely
are number one.
No, because Kevin's too fancy what we talked about.
They are well-coached and they are basically
zagging on the entire league,
just being like, pass, pass, pass.
Let's play to our strengths and we'll run, run, run.
And a lot of teams struggle to defend that
because it doesn't happen very often.
It's kind of like what Michigan football is doing right now.
Right, where it's like, oh, everyone's doing spread offense?
Well, what are you gonna do when your team is built
to not only run the spread offense,
but defend the spread offense.
And it's a lot of light defenders
and they don't know what to do when you get a big fucker
just like bearing down on them.
To be fair, it's probably not a matter of asking Marcus
Mariota to not complete more than 13 passes.
No, but the attempts.
It's probably more like don't have him,
you don't want him passing the ball.
You want to be a run heavy.
It's attempts.
It's run heavy offense.
The 49ers ran a 16 play, eight minute drive.
That's what they do.
While they were trailing by 14 points
and they came away scoreless off that.
At that point, it's probably, the game's over
because you can't kill that much clock.
It's an impressive drive.
Just from like a football standpoint, bleed the clock out.
But in general, you want to be running a 16 play,
eight minute drive when you're ahead by 14 points.
Not when you're behind by 14 points.
I don't know if this is the coach
that you were talking about, Big Cat.
When we were talking about Kyle Shan.
No, it wasn't.
It wasn't.
I wasn't either, but the thought just occurred to me.
At what point do we start asking
if Kyle Shan hands overrated?
Okay, so this game, I would not put that in there
because one.
Their defenses fucked up.
Their defenses fucked up.
They're missing Bosa, Armstead, Kinlaw,
and Emmanuel Mosley.
Lot of really good dudes.
And then I think also their other cornerback got hurt
like in the first quarter.
Lot of dudes out.
They did the whole staying out on the East Coast thing
where they had back to back road games.
And like we know, because we've seen it,
this was just a bad Jimmy G game.
Like he was not good today.
He was four for 11 for 72 yards and two picks
when he was asked to throw it for more than 10 yards.
You saw it in the last, like even the last play
that they had where it was fourth and like one,
and he skipped the ball like a five yard pass.
He skipped the ball in the ground.
When you need this to keep the game going,
it was just Jimmy G did not,
when Jimmy G looks okay and everything's working
for the 49ers, the 49ers are basically
like a well-oiled machine or like a perfect,
a bicycle where if you just stick in the spokes,
the whole thing can fall apart.
But if you can't get the stick in the spokes,
they'll just run right over you.
Yeah. I think that made sense.
Like the, I've never seen all the Star Wars movies,
but like one of those big tall things
that runs through the desert.
Right. The big machines.
If you just like tie some dental floss around its legs,
it'll trip over and fall down.
It's kind of like watching Army or Navy
and the triple option when you can almost tell
within the first drive,
this is going to work or this won't today.
Yeah. Like you know right away,
this is going to work for the 49ers.
It's a day where everything's schemed up perfectly.
They're blocking perfectly.
Their defense is flying around.
And this was one of those days where you turned on the game
and you're like, nope, this is not,
this is not the 49ers day.
Yeah. So the reason why I asked that
is because he is 42 and 45.
But you got to remember,
you got to remember he has had some quarterback things,
but, and he gets a lot of passes
because he's had to play with a lot of backup quarterbacks.
A ton.
But this year, their backup quarterback
is also the same guy that he wanted to be.
They're starting court.
So it's not really that much of, yeah, but at first,
but now not anymore.
He got hand selected.
It's now back to the Jimmy G's, the backup.
Unwanted backup.
Yes.
And it's not Kyle Shanahan's fault
that they're losing with him.
You could make the argument Kyle Shanahan
maybe needs someone else to decide his next quarterback.
That could probably, that could be fair.
I'd take him as a coach.
I'd like to be very clear.
Like I would cut my foot off.
I would love to have him.
I would take Kyle Shanahan and Jimmy Garoppolo
as a package deal for life
to be my head coach and quarterback
for the next 10 years.
Yes. We've got a doubt.
I just wanted, we're just having the discussion.
We're having a discussion.
I haven't circled him yet,
but I know that that discussion exists out there.
Cause the 49ers, they did not look good today,
but a lot of injuries.
Like 49ers, I know we joke about the Chargers.
The 49ers definitely are up there with injuries every year.
It feels like they always have injuries to like,
I guess maybe that's the problem.
This is like why the Bears and Commanders are smart,
how they do it, where they just have rosters
with no good players.
If you don't have good players, they can't get injured.
Yeah. You can't tear an ACL on an all pro wide receiver.
Right. So you can't have that bummer like, damn,
we just, we just, our left tackle,
who's one of the best of all time is out.
No, we never had him.
Yeah. So he can't be out.
In our case, we did have Trent Williams.
Yeah. And then we actually,
we actually did lose him because our medical staff
misdiagnosed scalp cancer.
And then he decided he wasn't going to play for us.
And so now he's on the 49ers.
Yeah. So that did happen.
That was a tough example that you gave me,
but Trent Williams is coming back.
But you get what I'm saying.
I do, I do understand what you're saying.
If you don't have good players, you could never lose them.
Yeah. So Trent Williams is coming back
and that's going to make a massive difference.
Yeah. It's like the whole, like,
it's better to have loved and lost and never loved.
That's a bullshit. I disagree.
Yeah. I'd rather never love.
Just be lonely for life.
Yeah. Cause when you love and loss,
you're like, damn, that, that really hurts.
Yup. Like my heart is broken.
Yup.
Be better. Just never know what that feels like.
I agree.
Okay. So yeah, Falcons, Frisky Fun.
Frisky Fun.
And maybe shout out Arthur Smith and the boys.
They were slamming Coors lights in the locker room afterwards.
They are. They're a good coach team.
That was nice to see.
They do, they do beer celebrations afterwards.
They're also like that.
It's very hockey ask, which by the way,
do you see Ryan Whitney today?
Yeah. He was at the Steelers game.
I have a joke about that.
Okay.
He was there supporting his brothers and sisters,
the other pigeons that were down on the field.
They were flying around in your fucking face.
Yeah. Piece of shit.
Yeah.
How is your weekend, bitch?
Those pigeons probably got,
probably got better ankles and wit.
Mm hmm.
Oh, I had one last point.
Fuck. I can't remember it though.
Falcons are looking to be only the fifth team all time
to start seven and all against spread.
Wow.
That's, we're getting into history boys.
That's more impressive than we're getting into history.
Yes, that is.
They're six and all against the spread.
They're three and three.
We, we, we talked a little bit about it on Sunday,
but like every, or sorry, a Friday show,
but every other team that started six and all against
the spread was really good.
They were just blowing people out.
Yeah.
Like they weren't underdogs losing and covering.
It was the Patriots, 2007, which was the 18 and one team.
Tennessee, 2008, which I can't remember.
Who was on that team?
Was that, they started seven and all.
Is the team in there?
No.
Vince Young, maybe?
Maybe.
Either way, look it up, Jake.
They started seven and all in real games
and against the spread.
2018 Kansas City Chiefs, which we know.
Yeah.
Started seven and six and one, seven and all against spread.
And then last year's Dallas Cowboys started seven
and all against the spread.
Six and one, six and one straight up.
So all these teams were really like,
what the Falcons are doing is way more impressive.
Because they're three and three.
And they're six and all against the spread.
I mean, this would be the all time twist for Calvin Ridley
to get suspended for a full season.
The greatest gambling team.
And their team becomes the greatest gambling team
of all time.
So who do they have next week?
We've got to have them.
We got to get them away.
I think they're playing the Bengals.
Whose line is anyway?
Is it at the Bengals?
At Cincinnati.
I'm going to say Cincinnati minus three and a half,
four and a half.
The line is, is, I'm stalling minus six and a half.
Six and a half.
Six and a half.
Well, Falcons can cover that.
Hammer.
Easy.
Hammer.
Let's make history boys.
What jerseys are they wearing?
Let's make history.
And are they going to pass the ball to Cal Pitts?
That's another big one.
If they can do that, then they're a good football team.
Also, I forgot.
They should tell you what jerseys
they're going to wear way earlier in the week.
Because if I had known, maybe I just wasn't paying attention,
but if I had known that they were going to be wearing these,
I would drop the hammer on.
Yep.
I forgot the 2008 Tennessee Titans, Kerry Collins.
Remember that?
Oh, yeah.
It was Chris Johnson, Kerry Collins.
It was like maybe Chris Johnson's rookie year,
one of the first ones.
Jeff Fisher.
True.
Which is nice.
Jeff Fisher, seven and all against the spread.
They finished the year, I think 13.
Yeah, 13 and three, and then lost the individual playoffs.
That's too bad.
OK, next up, Colts Jags.
Matt Ryan, Colts 34, Jags 27.
The Jaguars are the Jaguars.
They just are.
I think sometimes the Jaguars aren't the Jaguars at home.
Against the Colts.
Against the Colts.
But they are.
I was pumped up because I thought the Jaguars might be good.
I don't think they're bad.
They could have won this game.
Oh, they absolutely could have won this game.
They actually ran the ball down their throats.
They made Matt Ryan, though, completely revive his career.
Matt Ryan, last we saw Matt Ryan, his team
couldn't score a touchdown.
He looked like he wanted to be anywhere else.
He was getting absolutely mangled.
And then he plays the Jaguars.
And he has his career high in completions.
Not only his career high in completions,
this one is another stat that blew my mind.
He has the Indianapolis Colts career high in completions.
That's crazy.
Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck, ever heard of them.
Matt Ryan goes 42 for 58, 389 yards, and three touchdowns.
They made Matt Ryan come back to life.
Well, you think that maybe Peyton Manning hasn't
had to pass the ball that much in certain games?
He has 40.
I mean, he was in some shootouts.
His highest is 40 completions.
So in the first half, the Colts ran 40 plays, I believe.
40 plays to 22 for the Jaguars.
And I think I heard them say that Ryan threw the ball 37 times
So out of the 40 plays that they ran in the first half,
he threw the ball 37 times.
They basically were like 58 pass.
So Matt Ryan right now leads the league in past attempts.
I actually think this might be Frank Wright just saved his job
because he just did the dumbest thing that became genius.
We watched Matt Ryan suck so bad.
He was like, you know what we do?
More Matt Ryan.
And it did work because the Jaguars pass defense wasn't good.
And the Jaguars rushed defense is pretty good.
So they just went more Matt Ryan.
And Matt Ryan had a career day for Matt Ryan.
Here's a fun stat is the Indianapolis Colts
have not had a halftime lead in eight games.
That is crazy.
That's pretty wild considering some of the teams they get to play.
Yes.
Yes.
So the Colts, I don't know.
I don't want to say they like righted it,
but it does feel like this after a terrible Thursday night game
that they ended up with a win.
And then they take care of the Jaguars in coming back late
to win the game where they even went for the jugular late
where it was like we could have kicked the field goal.
It was third and 13.
They're like, no, fuck it.
Let's throw it to the end zone here with Alec Pierce.
Maybe the Colts aren't terrible.
I don't know what to make of this.
Help me.
I think that they're still going to be in underachieving
territory.
They're running backs out, which is a pretty big deal.
Jonathan Taylor is he's got like a league MVP
case that he can make when he's healthy.
So if they're having to lean on Matt Ryan,
and I just I don't see Matt Ryan being able to throw the ball
this many times, multiple weeks in a row.
But it's like when we saw Joe Flacco and his attempts up
in the 50s, he's too old and too Coltsy
to be making that many attempts.
That many drop backs.
He's going to he's going to get sacked
and he's going to get broken in half.
But what about what if Frank Reich?
This is like he did go back.
He found it.
He did go back to his old glasses today.
Frank did.
I like those and Matt Ryan didn't get sacked today
and they threw it up like he basically he did the thing
that no one was asking for more of and it worked.
So 6.7 was his average average yards per completion.
First half was all dump off all dump off second half.
He actually threw it.
It's smart to have Matt Ryan get rid of the ball quickly.
That way he can't fumble.
Yes.
Yes.
We're going to say Billy.
Guess why Matt Ryan performed so well.
Why?
Someone was activated and made QV2.
Sam Elinger.
He was looking in the mirror.
So Sam Elinger.
He is activated.
Probably it was also the scout team Trevor Lawrence
this week.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And Trevor Lawrence.
And we all know that he is he's better than Trevor Lawrence.
Right.
100%.
Or where we at on the on the stock up stock down.
Well Sam Elinger stocks up now that he's actually
on the team for game day.
And I mean Trevor Lawrence as we saw I just took an L.
And and Trevor Lawrence didn't play bad.
It actually was a game where both coaches game
planned perfectly against the opponent.
It's just the Colts outlasted him.
Like the Jaguars just rammed it down the Colts throat.
They ran for 200 plus yards.
It seemed like everything worked that they wanted to.
The Colts were like fuck it will throw it on top of you all day.
And that just ended up working more in the end.
Mm hmm.
Like that was kind of how the game went.
I believe the Colts are now 2 and 0 in Lucas Oil Stadium
when the window and the roof is open.
Yeah.
It was a lot of a lot of shadows.
Speaking of the Colts record.
You guys know what it is right now.
What?
2 and 1.
3 2 1.
Oh that is cool.
It's a countdown.
Oh Jesus.
That is pretty cool.
I love you.
It's unique.
I love you.
Yeah.
That's great.
I love it.
Yeah.
The other.
So what happens?
Do they blast off next week?
That's what I was saying.
Blast off.
Wait.
Happy birthday.
Buzzer beater.
Happy New Year.
It could be a bomb.
Whatever direction you want to go in.
It could also be a bomb.
It could be a bomb.
Is it Jake.
Is it is it a bomb that we have to use or is it a launch?
New Year.
Is it New Year?
Yeah.
New Year.
So who are they playing?
Titans.
At Titans.
That's a bomb.
I feel like it might be a bomb.
I think they might be about to explode.
That's a bomb.
Do bombs have milliseconds?
No.
It depends.
3 2 1.
Jake what bomb.
Hey what would you say a bomb has?
Milliseconds?
I don't think it does.
From watching like 24.
Yeah it does.
It's got the numbers on the right that tick down really fast.
Oh it really does.
Yeah.
I guess it depends.
I don't really have experience.
Close your eyes.
I'm going to do a countdown.
Tell me what you envision happening after this.
OK.
3 2 1.
Yeah a blow.
It's a bomb.
It's a bomb.
Come on.
Sorry Jake.
I mean you brought it just a fun stat.
It's a fun stat.
I hope they don't have to fly to Tennessee.
Oh god.
Jesus Jake.
What did you do?
You're going to have to train here.
You're going to have to track that flight Jake
to make sure it lands perfectly.
There's only one time that everyone in the country
is simultaneously counting 3 2 1.
Yeah when the bomb goes off.
No one is counting that.
Someone's counting on a giant loud speaker.
OK this is not the turn I expected this stat.
All right wait do it to me.
I'll close my eyes.
All right here we go.
Ready.
Yep.
3 2 1.
Have.
Oh no it's a birthday bomb.
No it was a happy new year bomb.
Oh no.
What about this.
3 2 1.
Jenkins at the buzzer of Villanova.
Got ya.
Hell yeah hell yeah.
I just saw a dumbest.
I saw a rocket ship taking off but then it was a challenger.
Oh no.
Jake this is bad.
I think you just bombed them.
You bombed them.
And there's a teacher on board.
Oh no.
Yep.
And she was she was an inspiration to all the little kids.
Congrats.
Watched her die live on air in in their classroom.
You just killed a college worker Jake.
What was her name.
There she is.
Miss teacher.
Jenkins is the best.
She's going up to space.
3 2 1.
Colts record.
OK.
A stat hole sports sent me one.
The Colts ended a 111 minute.
Macaleth.
TD Drought.
Which is oh that was the teacher's name.
That's pretty that's pretty cool.
111 minute.
Yeah because they didn't score at all last week right.
Yeah.
They've.
TD Drought 111 minutes.
Their offense is very confusing to me.
Yeah.
Very confusing.
The only reason I bring it up is because it's
just fun to remember that in 2000 the Ravens that won
the Super Bowl.
They went on a 328 minute TD Drought.
Weeks five through nine.
Oh so this is the recipe.
They went on a TD Drought.
They didn't score a touchdown weeks five through nine
and still managed to go two and three in that stretch.
Which is insane.
I guess if you can if you can learn how to win games
without without playing any offense.
Yeah.
You're probably a good team.
And then I looked up just because it's fun to look up
like incredible defenses.
The the Ravens in 2000 had 15 out of because it was 20 weeks
because they played four playoff games.
15 out of the 20 weeks.
They held their opponent to 10 points or less including all
four rounds of the playoffs.
The Trent Doe for year 85.
85 Bears had 14 out of 19 weeks.
10 points or less and only give up 10 points in the entire
playoffs.
It's just fun to look at crazy defenses because we
don't have them anymore.
Yeah, I'll like imagine going five weeks without scoring
an offense to touchdown and still going two and three with
the Bucks at the start of the year looked like they might be
one of those defense.
Yeah.
But there's just not a 2000 Ravens team.
Crazy.
Crazy.
Every time they would get an interception they would try to
do the rugby play.
They would try to pitch it back until because they knew.
Yeah.
Trent Trent Dilfer is our quarterback.
We're probably more likely to score if we do insane amounts
of laterals on any return than if we give the ball to this guy.
15 weeks they held their opponents to 10 points or less.
Shout out Travis ATN who is a first round pick from last year.
That's now playing really well.
I just I also three first round picks.
Three first round picks this year.
I like the idea of a guy named Jamaical Hasty.
Be really fast.
That's just so cool.
So that's that's my fun look on the bright side.
Jacksonville Jaguars stat of the week for chaps.
Doug Peterson's a good coach because he knew he's like,
hey, we we think we can run on them.
Let's go do that.
Yep.
And they did.
He was right.
Yeah.
They were right until they didn't win.
OK.
Rams 24 Panthers 10.
The Rams we got we got three games left.
The Rams got right.
We expected this.
This is exactly what we talked about, I think, on Thursday
when we recorded.
I think I said that I'm taking the Panthers first quarter
money line because they're going to come out juiced up
because they've got an interim coach and you put something good
on film and then they're going to get the shit kicked out of them
in the second half and the Rams are going to cover the spread.
You are very close to not covering the spread.
I don't know if you saw that.
They did cover the spread.
They was very close.
That was it was Jacob Eason came in the game.
Jacob Eason came in the game.
PJ Walker got hurt and he almost covered the spread.
And Christian McCaffrey is basically whatever is not
a contract here.
It's just a trading block getting trade.
Traded soon game.
They said he did.
So they said I read an article earlier this week that said
McCaffrey Panthers will listen to all offers for McCaffrey.
They'll also listen to all offers for Robbie Anderson,
but it's not going to be a fire sale.
Well, Robbie Anderson.
Yeah, Robbie, but I think by definition,
if they're going to trade Robbie Anderson and Christian
McCaffrey, that's kind of a fire sale.
Well, Robbie Anderson is getting cut.
He's he might get cut.
I would say that he got ejected by his own team.
He got ejected by his own team.
Got in a fight with this wide receivers coach.
He was sitting apart from the rest of the wide receivers.
He probably wants to get cut.
Oh, you're saying like trade me as he was walking off.
So yeah, that felt it felt like the Panthers didn't really
solve anything by firing that rule.
I don't think that they're going to.
They're not going to cut Robbie Anderson, right?
They're going to trade him still.
I don't know because he still has value.
He's still a pretty good player.
He's kind of a nut job, but I feel like you can get something for him.
But now that everyone watched him get in and ejected by his own team,
they're going to be like, oh, how about we give you like a seventh round pit?
Yeah, you've you've lost all your internal leverage.
Yeah, your only hope is that like Robbie Anderson basically went out there
and did a commercial for Robbie Anderson to every other team.
So maybe other teams will get into a bidding war against each other.
Yeah. And maybe you can end up with like a fifth or a fourth.
Maybe. But this this game, I actually, instead of talking
about the Panthers in this game, because they suck and they're going to continue to suck.
The story that came out Sunday morning about Matt Rule, very fucking funny.
I don't know if you guys saw it, but Matt Rule had a manifesto
when he got to Carolina called The Way of the Panther.
Yeah, I did see that.
So part of it read Pepsi tastes like Pepsi 24 hours a day.
We have a brand at the Panthers.
This brand defines us both on the field and everyday life.
We are the toughest, hardest working, most competitive team in the NFL.
And then on top of that document was our plan to win,
which had a bunch of football metrics.
Here are some of the metrics.
Explosive offensive plays gains at 20 plus yards.
The Panthers are 29th turnover differential.
They were 25th yards per carry.
They were 24th red zone scoring percentage.
They were 30th. It goes on and on and on.
The way of the Panther did not end up working out.
And I guess everyone was just mocking it for the entire last year
that Matt Rule was there because he also had in there.
It was an acronym, O O U, one of us.
So every time they were like trying to draft a trade for a guy,
they'd ask, is he O O U?
Yeah, and then it like from all these from this report that I read,
it was just basically everyone walked around just making fun of O O U.
One of us is not what you say to somebody like in a cult initiation.
Yeah, one of us say that in Fight Club,
Google Gobble, one of us, before they blow up everything at the end.
Three, two, one.
Yeah, that's the way of the Panthers are very.
You can't say the way of the Panthers.
The way of the Panthers.
It's like Pepsi.
You can say like the Panther way.
But when you reverse and you go the way of the Panther,
it sounds like a spiritual, like mystical journey
that you're being led on by a shaman. Yeah.
You can't go way of the Panther.
It sounds it sounds like a rejected Bruce Lee script.
Yeah, it's also funny for Pepsi to be the one that you point to.
Well, I mean, I perhaps he's fine when people I'm not a snob.
I probably prefer Coke, but I also drink Pepsi.
Like whenever I met like a out to dinner and they're like, is Pepsi OK?
I'm like, yeah, fine, great.
Yeah, but maybe I don't know, Apple or something.
I don't know. Pepsi has a brand.
Yeah, Pepsi does have a brand, which is like, I guess I'd probably rather be
doing something else. Right.
But if that's all you have, the way of the Panther,
that's actually exactly how I feel about watching Panthers games on television.
Yeah, we are the toughest, hardest,
working, most competitive team in the NFL.
If there's absolutely no other football, I'll watch the Panthers game.
Right. I'll have a good time watching it, probably.
Oh, is Pepsi is Panther football OK?
Sure. Yeah, all right. Yeah, I can watch it.
I'll have all of that.
Has there ever been an interim interim coach?
Oh, I don't know, because I I don't know if Wilkes is cut out.
If I were him, I wouldn't deal with this shit.
No, I mean, it's they're going to be bad.
I'd be like, you want me to be a babysitter for the rest of the year.
Here's what the Panthers are going to do.
They're going to lose every game by a shit load.
They're going to win one more game and it will surprise all of us.
I will probably bet against them that week and they'll win one more.
Baker will win a game.
Yeah, they're going to win one more game.
That's just what's going to happen.
But if you're if you're Steve Wilkes, why why do you even do this?
You know, you're not going to be around next year.
You get a little more money.
Maybe probably.
I would rather just I'd rather take the you only have like three more weeks
of it being nice enough weather to do something fun outside.
I would not want to waste those weeks coaching the Carolina Panthers.
You've got to remember every single football coach
in the history of football is a psycho and thinks,
oh, I can change them.
I'm the one who can change them.
But you've got I'm the one who can make them better.
You've got players trying to fight their coaches
on the sideline, but that's every coach looks at the situation.
Like, I can change these.
I can tame the wild horse.
You've got Jacob Eason coming into the game
because that's your quarterback right now.
Yeah, your best player, Christian McCaffrey,
you probably shouldn't really be playing that much anymore
so you can get him traded right.
Him getting hurt. Yep.
I would just I'd be like, you know what?
I'm going to go golf. Yeah.
I'm going to go take it easy for the next month and a half.
You probably got to like a half a million bucks or something.
Maybe David Tepper was like, we'll keep you around.
It'd be very funny if this became like a very Shakespearean thing
where it was like Dwight and Michael Scott and Jim from the office
where it's like Ben Macadoo secretly plotting
to try to take over the interim job from Steve Wilkes
and then getting it and completely fucking that up to ready for it.
Yes, it was just a folly.
His entire. Yeah, like his entire plot.
His plot works to perfection, but then he takes it over
and he realizes he has to coach the Carolina.
Yeah, he also sucks.
And then wow, this is awful.
The Carolina would a bad situation.
Yes, yes.
He not only realized the Panther suck, but he sucks.
Yeah. He's like, what did I get myself into?
Alan Robinson, welcome to the NFL season.
Welcome to the Rams.
Yeah, it looks good now.
Yeah, he he he had a touchdown, a couple of nice plays.
And yeah, the Rams.
This was we had multiple get right games.
The Rams were the only ones that actually got right.
So this could be a good win for the Rams because they've got,
I think, backups at every position on their offensive line.
Maybe one of the guys is still a starter.
But like Kyle Long told us, it takes a few weeks to even start to gel.
Yes, offensive line.
These guys were never supposed to play together in the first place.
So it's taken them a while to get right.
I still think Matthew Stafford might be hurt.
Yeah, oh yeah, I still think there's something wrong with him.
He's always hurt.
OK, we got two more games before we do that.
Peter, you got one more quick ad for it.
Before we get to the rest of these games,
I want to talk to you about our great friends over at Instacart.

Wait, Billy, you think that's too spicy?
Max. K-show.

OK, last two games, Seahawks Cardinals.
This is the coach I have circled.
Yeah, Cliff Kingsbury now.
First, the Cardinals suck and they sucked again today.
And if you watch the game, something is messed up with that offense.
They went start of the game, field goal on Seattle's five.
They then went turnover on downs, punt, punt, punt, turnover on downs,
fumble, turn, turn over on downs, punt, interception.
They were so bad, so so so bad and a bunch of three announced there.
They feel like they can't get anything going.
Keep betting against the Cardinals first half.
But yes, Cliff Kingsbury.
I circled him. OK, he circled.
This is a coach I want to talk about, too.
So it is blind resume season.
I'm going to give you a blind resume. OK.
Coach one is twenty six, twenty seven and one.
OK. Coach two is thirty five and forty.
Which one do you like more?
I.
Uh, I guess the no thirty five and forty trick question.
They're the same person.
Twenty six, twenty seven one is Cliff Kingsbury's record as an NFL coach.
Yep. Thirty five and forty is his record as a college head coach.
Yep. Cliff Kingsbury.
You can say a lot of things about him.
He's not a fraud. No, he's failed upward.
He's failed upwards and he is who he is.
Yeah. No, he's the same guy.
This is the exact same guy.
I don't know why he was getting all these different jobs in college football.
And then he got snaked out of there by the NFL that gave him a head coach spot.
Remember, he was the O.C. for USC for a minute for like literally one minute.
And then Carol and then Arizona was like, oh, that's cool.
Yeah, actually, we want to get a hot young O.C.
That hasn't actually been the offense coordinator for this team yet.
Yeah. Let's just hire him out for the Trojans right now.
He is the real deal. He is who he thinks he is. Yeah.
And who we think he is.
And I so I have no idea because I'm not, you know, I don't watch the tape.
I don't know what his actual schemes are.
If they're working, not working.
If it's a coaching thing or it's a Kyler thing, I don't know.
I'm not going to pretend I know.
What I do know is you gave a ton of money to Kyler.
That means that Cliff was going to be the fix
if things don't work out this next year.
Like that's just simple, knowing how the NFL works.
Yeah. You basically said Kyler is our guy.
And the only way to change if things don't go well with Kyler
before you admit to everyone, it's Kyler's fault because you're paying him all this money.
You admit to everyone that it's the coach's fault and get a new coach.
That's just how it works in the NFL for better or worse.
You could like someone who watches all the film could break it down and be like,
actually, Cliff's schemes are working.
It's Kyler that's messing it up.
Unfortunately, that's just not how it's going to work when they have to
like figure out how to move forward.
It's going to be Cliff that goes not Kyler.
The interesting thing is that I don't think you'll be able to find
like a real top of the line head coach that would want to come in and coach Kyler
because of all the shit that's happened behind the scenes
and a little bit in front of the scenes with that you have to study four hours
of game film. But remember what I just said about Steve Wilkes.
I did remember what you said about that.
And someone's going to be like, is there is there going to be an I can fix you?
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
I don't know if you're that much money to real top guy. Yeah.
Yeah, I would just say fucking throw a bag at Lincoln Riley and hope that he goes
there. Yeah, I mean, some that I don't I mean, he's obviously doing well at USC.
But some some big whiz kid, you know, offensive guys can be like,
oh, I can I can get the most out of a young hot shot.
I am they all have egos.
They all love money.
It's just they will be like, yeah, I'm the one who can make Kyler the best.
I'm going to look up who else was on that 2013 Washington Redskins.
It's got to be. It's maybe one of the guys.
You know, maybe it's Michael four.
It probably will be Michael Michael.
I'm pretty sure he was on that. Yeah, yeah.
He's he's going to be the next coach of the Arizona Cardinals.
Again, I don't know if it's Cliff Kingsbury.
Like if it's his fault, although, like you said, with the blind resume,
it has shown that's just who he is.
It is who he is.
But the money was given to Kyler.
They basically said he's our quarterback for the next however many years.
And Cliff Kingsbury, if he doesn't turn it around this year,
I think we'll probably be the one who gets kicked out.
And maybe it's all all different when DeAndre comes back, which is this week,
right? Yes. So this Thursday night.
So we should bet the Cardinals Thursday night.
This was their last game without without DeAndre,
and they are going to be a little bit of a different team.
But I don't think they're going to be.
This isn't the Cardinals that we saw through what eight games last year.
But you're beating everybody.
Should we bet the Cardinals in case DeAndre Hopkins does change everything?
Who are they playing? We get Saints on Thursday night.
It's I think it's two point line.
We could get we could feel like we're the smartest people ever.
And we got ahead of the trend because maybe we'll look back.
Maybe DeAndre will make the Cardinals so good.
Two and a half.
He'll make the Cardinals so good that if you had this game in two months from now,
the Cardinals would be seven point favorites, but we're so sharp.
We got it at two and a half.
It's actually a good thing that they lost to the Seahawks this week.
Yeah, by low.
So I we just got value, baby.
I think we can also play.
We can also say to ourselves that if this if this play doesn't work,
it was still the right play because it was value and DeAndre Hopkins coming
because wait till wait till later on the season when it will be
a lot more for Arizona Cardinals home game, although they suck at home.
I bet you Kyler Murray's pumped to have a full weekend
with no football they asked to worry about.
Yeah, like he gets to actually experience a weekend off of call of duty.
Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Right. Right.
And the Seahawks, I just love that the Seahawks keep winning games
because it really is like, oh, Pete Carroll is a good coach
and sticking it to Russell Wilson because they they're often like Gino
kind of came back down to earth, but their defense played well.
And they have a bunch of young guys on defense.
I don't know. I just like it.
The Seahawks are a fun story.
I'm rooting for the Seahawks out of spite.
I'm ready to say that Pete Carroll won the Russell Wilson breakup right now.
I'd agree. I think he's miles ahead.
He's back on the scene. He's dating.
He's having a good time.
Russell Wilson is just trying to like put on social media how happy is,
but he knows that he's not happy.
This is the exact game, by the way, where if Russell Wilson was a Seahawks quarterback
and they won this game in the same way that they did today,
Russell Wilson would be very upset with how this game went.
Yeah. Gino Smith is like, we won a football game.
I'm Gino Smith.
I just won a football game. This is awesome.
Yeah. And the
the NFL writer, Benjamin Solik, he did a video.
I didn't watch the actual video.
I just watched the Twitter video that was like 45 seconds long in the premise,
which I just was like, OK, I'm taking this as fact now.
You know, when you see someone who like breaks down film and they say something,
you're like, all right, that's my fact. Always.
He basically was like the Seahawks offense runs better
because they like to run crossing patterns in the middle
and Gino Smith is taller than Russell Wilson.
And he can see over the office line and Russell Wilson can't make those
throws in the middle of the field, but Gino Smith can.
That's why their offense is running so well right now.
Again, it was he might have he might have like used that as a teaser
and then dispelled that theory in his own in the full video.
Didn't watch full video, but shout out to him.
Yeah. Seemed like he was on to something.
OK, yeah, I'm down for that narrative.
100, you know, Smith's taller, better.
But you know what I'm saying?
Like if if Russell Wilson was on this team,
I feel like the narrative would be like, oh, Russ won another ugly one.
He's not happy with this offense is treating him right.
It's sometimes nice to have a guy that can take something good that happens
and just be happy with it. Right. You just want. Yeah.
And the Seahawks are three and three.
I don't think anyone thought they were going to be three and three through six weeks.
Everyone thought they were they were picked by a lot of people to be
one of the worst teams in the NFL.
I do not think they're one of the worst teams.
No, they're definitely not.
I thought that they were going to be just dog shit.
Yeah, they're not on three games.
They're not on our level.
No, we're I am way where we are the worst Washington team in the NFL.
They're not they're not in the Bears, the Washington commanders, Texans.
Like there's way worse teams in the Seahawks, Jaguars, maybe, maybe.
I don't Jaguars still.
I'll I'll fall back in love with them just because they're they're they have
the young talent thing. Yeah. Oh, to have young talent.
Jake, you look like you got something on your mind.
Yeah. So I'm sure we're going to see this a lot from now until Thursday.
So we want to report it first.
The Cardinals have not won a home game since week seven last year.
Oh, wow. So that might have been this year.
But maybe that's also the way.
The other 24th, he was on that team nearly 365 Hopkins play that game.
And week seven last year.
Yeah, I think he probably did week seven last year.
They beat Oh, it was a guy.
It was 31 five against Houston.
Wow. That game. Wow.
What a terrible game.
The Andre Hopkins 51 five against you scored a touchdown.
That is the Pepsi event for 53 and a touchdown.
OK, I still like it.
Shadow Kenneth Walker.
Yeah, so they're not one at home in nearly a year.
OK, so maybe this is not the hammer play.
I feel like this game served two valuable, valuable.
What's the word? Lessons for lessons.
It it it was good for two things. OK.
One, it was good for Seattle fans that had just watched
like an 18 inning baseball game and we're very depressed today.
Yeah.
Two, it was good for Scott Hansen on the Red Zone Channel
because you can't just broadcast the entire Chiefs Bills game.
You have to cut away occasionally at something else for like NFL rights
purposes. Yeah. So it was good to just like flash over.
Like, here's another field that you can look at for 30 seconds.
OK, we're going back to Arrowhead.
Scott Hansen also tweeted out his I think it was his breakfast.
He doesn't drink coffee.
He just pounds Diet Cokes and he also had a lot of bacon.
It was just a whole thing of bacon and Diet Coke.
It's Kettle. And that just, yeah, it's like, OK,
I understand why he just is a machine.
It's apparently it's so he doesn't pee.
That that Diet Billy would know, probably,
but that helps with you going away from the bathroom,
because there's a lot of salt. Billy, does that make sense?
I still don't believe it.
I think he pees under that desk. I would.
I would type up.
I would think about that.
They don't really show him unless it's like half time or I pee in a bottle.
Yeah, I would. I would honestly wear a diaper if I were him.
Peeing in bottles is fun.
Yeah, it is.
Yeah, but I think in Scott Hansen on that.
I think the sound would probably carry over into the microphone.
It would also be fun.
It would be kind of funny.
Like you're only allowed to pee when there's like after an interception.
Yeah, he just comes back to him and he's just peeing.
He's got his hands below his desk.

Bills 24, Chief 20.
This was an awesome game.
Should have been a lot more points.
I'm not mad about it.
Again, I'm putting on a smile after I got my teeth kicked in.
But awesome game.
It also was a game where it was like you're watching a movie
and the like M Night Shyamalan twist at the end
because Josh Allen takes down the takes the bills down down the field.
Game winning drive, which ended up being the game winning drive,
like peak Josh Allen, scramble, hurdle, and then throws one of the prettiest
throws you've ever seen to Dawson Knox, where it was like over a guy
and the window was just not there.
And it was Josh Allen just making an insane throw
because he's Josh Allen and we fucking love him.
And then everyone was like, oh, too much time for my homes.
Minute and three seconds, two timeouts.
And then he threw an interception.
You're like, wait, what?
The difference is this is how this ends.
Difference was I think he had to try to do a lot more on that last drive
because they were down four.
If they were down three, I bet you that the Chiefs go down and tie the game.
But but well, maybe.
But it was really just the difference of Von Miller being on.
So recurring guest of the show, Marshall Newhouse,
he tweeted out what happened on that home's I.N.T.
It was actually interesting. I think he's right.
So Buffalo had three defensive ends and one defensive tackle.
Buffalo had somebody that was playing the three technique inside.
Yep.
Drop back like he was going to spy my homes.
And it's interesting because like if you're an offensive lineman
and your defensive lineman that you're supposed to block takes a step back from you,
you are going to pause first and be like, what the hell is going on?
Yeah. As he paused, then Von Miller does an inside move.
Yep.
Into off that guy's left shoulder comes inside,
flushes my homes out of the pocket and then my homes gets flustered, throws the
interception. But it was because of the three technique,
taking like a step back off the line and okey dokey.
And they did. And they did that all day.
The bills, defense, like, I mean, I know that the home still had some
my home's plays, but they held them at 20 points.
They were dropping eight all day and they were also spying my homes with Milano
all day. And it was like, oh, Sean McDermott, you know, obviously he's a great
coach, but you still think like my homes and my home is going to do.
He's going to do, he still had a couple of plays where it was like,
there's nothing you can do. This is Patrick Mahomes.
But the bills came in and they're like, everything that happened last year is not
going to happen this year.
And we're going to fix this win a game that I would assume is going to be very
pivotal in terms of seeding when we get later on in the year.
And it was like, you got to be so pumped if you're a Bill's fan, because
they can win the games where they just absolutely kick the shit out of their
opponents. This was just a hard fought game that both defenses were playing
pretty well. And I mean, Josh Allen's stats were still insane by the end of the
game. And I'm happy for the bills, Bill's mafia.
Like this, I know that it doesn't matter because it's not the playoffs.
You still got to slay the dragon in the playoffs, but God damn does that have
to feel good to be able to go into KC and win this game the way they did,
where it's like defense, Vaughn Miller being the addition that changes
everything and Josh Allen being Josh Allen.
And so that interception at the end, you would, that's usually an interception
that gets dropped. It was Mahomes somehow has that crazy interception
luck where a pass like that will like bounce off their chest, hit the ground
before they can catch it. And then Mahomes goes down and wins the game.
This time it didn't happen. This Buffalo team, like their defense is legitimately
good. And if you do the visual visualization thing, where you just
imagine these two teams meeting each other in the AFC championship game,
if it's in Kansas City, you're like, I'm visualizing this instant classic.
Yeah. If you close your eyes and visualize it in Buffalo, it's like,
I think Buffalo could beat the fuck out of us at home.
And this winning this game is going to go a long way to that.
It's it's huge.
It's absolutely enormous for the bills.
And yeah, shout out.
Jordan Boyer too. Yeah.
Jordan Boyer, he was not medically cleared to fly because he had a rib injury.
So he drove 15 hours to Kansas City and back because I'm not a doctor.
But I think like if you have a rib injury, it might be affecting the lung.
You don't want to go up in the air and have altitude like fuck with your lung.
Yeah. I don't know. I don't know exactly why.
It seems to me like if you if you're not allowed to fly,
you probably shouldn't be playing in a football game.
No, but not this guy. He's a football guy.
Yeah, he's a football guy.
And I wish this game was I know CBS needs like, you know, CBS and Fox.
They need some of these big game of the weeks.
I do wish this game was a standalone game
because it was one of those games you just want to just soak in.
Because even when there weren't points being scored,
just the threat of both these quarter, both the quarterbacks
feel like they're just in the zone at all times.
You know what I mean? Like everything.
Anytime there's a deep pass, like, well, that's going to work.
And it's it's it is like watching a different sport compared to, I don't know,
20 other teams in the NFL and how hard it is for them to score points.
Yeah. And it was.
Yeah, it was a lot of fun.
They did do like it's not a standalone game.
Wink, wink, right, because your other options were the Seahawks
and the Cardinals or the Panthers and the Rams.
I just wish they played on a Monday night.
It would be nice where we can come to all Monday.
We could all focus on it.
Tony Romo was a bummer from the get-go on this one and told everyone,
I don't think there's going to be a lot of points.
It's probably going to be a 20 to 24 game.
Jerk could call you asshole.
He was also this is an all time Tony Romo.
I'm going to do the thing where I sound like I'm either taking a big shit
or busting a big nut into the game the entire time, even on plays
that didn't even look like they were going to be close to being reviewed.
He was so quick to go to the there was also an article that came out
earlier this week.
I think Dick Ebersol did an interview and said that he thinks
that Tony Romo is losing his love for broadcasting.
Oh, he hasn't been as good at it as he has in years past.
And I think Dick was saying, if you gave me an afternoon with Tony,
I'd fix everything. Wow.
But he needs to be reminded that he's not God's gift to broadcasting.
And it's it's about more than just showing up and talking into the mic.
And I thought he said he needed six weeks with them.
Six. That's where it would take six weeks.
Yeah, he's like, if I if I was producing them for six weeks,
I could get him back on track.
I believe that's what he sounds like.
Dick Ebersol is pretty much just like Tony Romo should pay me
because he has all this money now.
Yeah, like whoever they're just trying to get some cash.
Yeah, like Tony Romo, you need you need producer camp for six weeks.
I know wrong. A million.
I feel like Tony has lost a step.
Jake, what are your thoughts as a broadcaster?
I mean, it's a totally different position.
So well, if you don't stand, you're like, yeah, no, everything.
Stay in your lane, Dick.
We have we have different takes about Tony Romo than most of America.
Most of America loves him.
We're on an island is this podcast.
I'm fine with it.
I feel good about where we're at.
But some of the criticism has been that once Tony Romo gets removed
from the game and it's not as easy as like, oh, I played against this defense
last year. I know exactly what they're doing.
It might be a little more difficult.
Like I feel like Tony Romo is to broadcasting as Kyler Murray is to
playing quarterback where Tony needs to have in his contract.
You can only play, I don't know, four rounds of golf in a week.
And the rest of the time, you need to be in front of a screen.
You need to be working.
I do like that.
Like people, I do think we're like semi vindicated with our Tony
Romo take because it was one of those takes that people accused of
accused us of being like, oh, you guys just don't like him
because everyone else likes him.
We're like, no, we're giving real criticism here.
And it's still fine.
Like I'm I'm watching the game.
I'm not like, oh, man, this is.
But there's a couple of times a game where it's like, what is he doing?
I mean, he is he's still good at at anticipating things before that happened
as he was with like nailing the final score on this.
I was going to say 24.
But that's like that's like that's like a that's like a cheap magic trick.
You know, like, OK, he can he knows he has a card trick that he can do.
And it was a bummer.
After the day, I don't I don't want to have a magician.
I want to have I want to have somebody that's doing actually
like good color analysis of the game.
Yeah, listen, I think the enthusiasm is unique for an analyst to have like he does.
Yeah, like the sounds.
I don't have to hear anyone else doing that.
There should have been way more points scored.
Yeah, we got ripped off.
We did get ripped off.
There was there was a few red zone gaffes that ripped us off.
But I don't mind what they were doing, though.
Like the the bill is going for.
Oh, no, I love watching a game where both coaches know that their
quarterbacks are playing at such a high level.
They're like, we trust you with everything.
Yeah. And that's when football becomes like almost to another level where it's
like, holy shit, this is just fun, because, you know, both these guys
will make huge plays and their coach will say, hey, if we're fourth down
the middle of the field, let's fucking go for it.
Is the chiefs are still a very, very, very good offensive football team.
They're different, but they're different.
They would probably rather have Tyreek Hill than not have.
Yes. And that does make a little bit of a difference.
But who knows? I mean, their defense is seems to be better.
Ish. So, you know, like, and they had to, you knew this was coming
when you give Patrick Holmes that huge contract.
I still think that it was the right move just in terms of if you're the chiefs,
you want to stay relevant for as long as Patrick Holmes, your quarterback,
which probably will. But you have to always be changing your roster.
And making a move, an anticipation move instead of waiting until everyone
gets old together. Yeah. So, yeah.
Chiefs will be great games. Chiefs will be very good for a very long time.
But this does, it does make it feel like the bills are for real.
Yeah. Yeah. And in basic tweet, just let these two teams play in a seven game series.
Yeah. Or what about dogfight football?
You remember that from Top Gun? Yes.
Get Josh Allen and Mahomes on the field at the same time.
Yeah. But seriously, though, if they did, if they're like, hey,
the AFC playoffs, we're just going to have a best of three with the chiefs and bills.
Okay, cool. That sounds good to me. Completely fine with that.
Or just sign me up or just at the end of the season, have them play best of seven.
The winner wins the Super Bowl. Yeah, that works.
Just eliminate the NFC entirely. That absolutely works.
OK, let's finish up the show.
We've got a football guy of the week brought to you by our friends at Papa Johns.
Papa Johns is thanking all of our fans by giving you 25% off all regular
menu price items, enter promo code PMT at Papajohns.com to get in on this discount today.
Enter code PMT for 25% off all regular menu price items today with Papa Johns.
Yes. So we kind of had a little bit of a backfire this week.
Who won last week's football guy, the guy in prison won.
We knew that was going to happen. Yeah, it was very close.
I would call that a backfire.
That's that's kind of what we tried to make totally expected outcome.
We actually fucking nailed that one. Yeah.
Yeah, Mike Leach was in second with 25.9% of the votes and Florida man got 26.
So what we're going to do is with the Texans,
we're going to have them not send the football to this guy.
We're going to have them skip and so whoever wins the next one.
I just I just don't think we should be rewarding child reviews.
Is he in prison? Yeah, he's in prison.
So you probably can't send a football to him. Yeah.
Actually, Billy, here's your mission.
Send a football with a file inside of it and see if it will get inside.
I'm not in the mood to commit felonies. OK, but I may be later.
So our first football guy nominee is two Fresno State football coaches
who something happened in the the press box
and one of the coaches punched a window and knocked out the whole window
and it landed on two fans. That's sick.
So they didn't report who did it, but this coach has been
put on administrative lead. Yeah.
And yeah, so we're not rewarding bad behavior, but our first guess.
No, this is this is like Billy's doing to this coach.
Billy's doing this coach with Kyle Brandt did to Ken Dorsey
when he flipped out in his booth.
So Billy, you're saying like, yeah, this will be a permanent stain
on this Fresno State coach.
Well, they if they went and you want to highlight it to make sure
that everyone knew not to ever do that again. Yeah.
Anyway, punching through windows like a psycho move, no matter where you are.
Right. But yeah.
So but you put your arm up pretty bad.
Yeah. Fresno State ended up winning 17 to 14.
Also worked. I don't know.
OK, all right. So yeah.
So second nominee is Jeremiah Crawford, offensive lineman from Tennessee.
He was in the middle of the game, Tennessee, Alabama.
He puked in the huddle and then just stared at the Alabama defensive line.
After puking, and I think it was quoted.
You said, like, fucking let's fucking bring it on.
Yeah, he was like, what's up?
What do you do now?
He started just kind of like you step to PFT.
Yeah, it's kind of like that. Exactly. Yeah.
Yeah. Then you walked away. Then you walked away.
I was puking too because I told you walk away.
Our third nominee is Tennessee fans as a whole,
who carried out the goalpost from the game and dumped it in the river.
I like that. Yeah.
The entire volunteer fan base.
Exactly. So who knows if they'll win.
And then our final, we talked about earlier, Jordan Poir,
safety for the Bills.
He wasn't medically cleared.
He had something to do with cabin pressure and ribs and lungs and whatnot.
And so he drove.
Mm hmm. Good.
I say we vote for the criminals.
Yeah. I like that.
I like that narrative. Oh, the Tennessee students.
Yeah. Yeah.
No, the guy that punched out the unnamed football guy of the week
that punched out a window.
I do like how half half the nominees are criminals.
Again, this week. Yeah.
Great week.
Well, yeah, there's two non criminals.
Yeah. But so 50, 50.
Yeah. It's a good split.
Yeah. Yeah.
By the way, I think that the laws that the Tennessee volunteers
fan base violated, those shouldn't be laws at all.
Yeah. If you beat Alabama for the first time since what?
Two thousand six in your own stadium.
And then you jump into the top four.
You know that they're like one of the best teams in the country.
You should absolutely be allowed to break the law.
It should be like the purge in Knoxville.
Did you see the picture?
There was a there was a woman.
Oh, yeah, that ripped up like an entire half acre of the turf, basically.
It was like a picture of the field was like who would ever do this.
And then someone had a picture where in the background,
it was like this big woman just ripping up the.
I mean, it was shoving it in her bag.
It was an incredible, incredible game, incredible night.
There's nothing quite like college football when a rival
like has a long drought is similar to Michigan, Ohio State last year.
And finally, exercise their demons and like all the scenes with that said.
And I like Tennessee, Volfer Life, one, two national championships there.
They really they really shit on themselves today by posting that go fund me.
Oh, it was a joke. It was. Yeah. Yeah. Are you sure? Yeah.
So I know people were actually giving money, though.
No, no. So what they did was they put. OK, good.
They put it up there and it's not because they need money for goalposts.
Any time a school runs a big football game like this,
they always put something out and they try to get more money donated
to the university capitalizing on.
They weren't actually saying, OK, we need we need money for goalposts.
OK, what they said. Yeah, I know in the tweet, it was what they said, Jake,
but like this is they weren't actually in dire straits to pay.
Yeah, OK, so it's yeah, it's giving it's giving to the actual school.
Yeah, it's giving the school. OK.
Because they titled up the new goalposts.
Yeah, yeah, it's it's like a OK.
That's like a way like a wink and a nod and because I love the I love
the whole thing. The night was incredible.
Like I mean, just the whole thing was I just I watched videos
for the entire night. Yeah.
And I know that there were some
Bama fans being like it's not even a rivalry yet.
When you have like a tradition of smoking cigars after that's a rival.
The picture of the stadium.
They were hot boxing.
The stadium was ours with all the smoke coming out of it.
That was so fucking cool to see.
Yeah, Knoxville was so cool.
Like that when the the entire field was just flooded,
you couldn't see any green.
It was just orange shirts all the way down.
Paint Manning with Jalen Hyde.
Hyde after smoking a cigar in the locker room.
Like everything was fucking awesome from that game.
Jalen Hyde, by the way, that was that was the Randy Moss picture.
Did you had six catches for two hundred and seven yards, five touchdowns?
Yeah, it was better. It was better than the Randy Moss picture.
That's insane. Did you hear Big T's noise?
I did. I did. When he was smoking that cigar.
I did. I want to play it one more time.
I've probably listened to this maybe like 40.
I mean, this is again, this is 15 years
that Tennessee fans weren't allowed to smoke cigars.
Yeah, 16 years.
And if you know Big T, he's probably never.
He's probably. No one was allowed to smoke a cigar.
Smoking a cigar. Yeah.
OK, here's Big T hitting the cigar.
It was an awesome night, an awesome night for Tennessee.
One of those games that like you just didn't want to end because it was so like every part of it was just it was college football at its absolute, absolute best.
Like I actually had that moment where there are a lot of people out there who just don't watch college football.
And I don't know what those people are doing with their life.
That that was so fun.
The amount of points that were scored was back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.
They had everything.
I thought they were going to lose it on that kick at the end that he pushed just barely.
The mesh point was when I thought they were going to lose it.
I was like, how do you have that happen?
That was tough.
And then what I noticed was they so they fumbled the ball on that on that mesh on the handoff.
And then the next play that they ran offensively, they did it again.
Yeah, they went right back to it and they they were like, OK, we're just going to do this because we know that we can.
That was just a freak accident that happened right there.
That was just a freak accident that happened right there.
Yeah, Saban freaking out.
And now Tennessee, Georgia becomes like the biggest game in the world.
Do you think that Nick Saban actually killed that guy that mucked upon?
Man, I think in that moment, if Nick Saban had had a knife,
yeah, I think he would have stabbed him in the throat.
It was. Yeah, he was just freaking out.
Unbelievable game, unbelievable scenes.
I'm happy we got to talk about it because it was that was the best game of the weekend.
College and pro.
Let's do who's back, though, and end the show.
Great show today, guys.
We did it. We did it, guys.
Shout out, man, I lost every bet.
We're back. But I'm back.
So we're back. Yeah, Billy.
You know what, though? Billy, not every bad.
Not every bad. Not every bad.
Eagles say Eagles and over.
But, you know, that's maturity of me because I'm sure that if you went back,
like, you know, four years ago and you could listen to a Sunday show when I lose every bet,
I'm terrible, terrible to be around.
But I was I feel like I put on a happy brave face.
And then I'm going to go look tonight and be like, Oh, man, the damage
just like a brush fire in my house.
Just like, what did I do?
OK, at least let's talk about it.
At least we have at least we have Russell Wilson to look forward to tomorrow night.
And we get no matter how bad things got today,
we've got a real pathetic loser coming up tonight and Russell Wilson that we can all laugh at.
Well, like fucking Matt Damon, when you get stuck on that planet and interstellar,
is it interstellar?
Is it about the Martian?
Well, he also was an interstellar, wasn't he?
Oh, yeah, he got stuck twice.
Just fucking shoot me.
Yeah, yeah, that's me.
That's the parted, but oh, that's the parted.
Yes. So all the Matt Damon characters combined.
We bought a zoo.
My who's back of the week is shorts.
Oh, yes, I love it.
What shorts are back and what way?
Brooks Kepka. Yeah, like a year winner.
He won the Live Open of this weekend, whatever.
I didn't know they were playing.
They were playing and they're allowed to wear shorts.
So he won his final round in a pair of shorts.
It was very funny because he won and he was he was he was emotionally like
he was like, you know, I didn't think I was going to get back.
I thought my career was over.
He looked like he was about to cry in this post game interview.
It was emotional and I'm happy for when he's back.
When did it end today?
What time today?
It was it was a normal time that it ended at like middle of the one o'clock games.
OK, because I was getting some tweets and I didn't even realize
they were playing. So then people are like, are you shunning him?
Like, no, we're not shunning him.
He's unsuspended, very happy for him.
I just didn't know Liv Tor was going on today. Sorry.
Do you get more money for winning?
Probably don't. Yes.
It's the Saudi public investment fund.
I would imagine that they had probably give out a couple of dollars.
Absolutely. Wasn't there some story about like it not being more money?
It's yeah, there was a story that there was going back and forth
where like the money that you win is counted
against what you're guaranteed money, which is not true.
I don't think that's true.
But if you're the Saudi public investment fund
and you just don't pay somebody, what are they going to do?
Yeah. What? Do you like your arms?
Yeah. OK. You want golfing?
Then you're going to play next weekend. Yeah.
But good for Brooks. Happy he's back.
In shorts. In shorts.
I'm very happy for Brooks because it was it was a big deal for him.
We got to get him on again.
He's been injured for a while and a lot of people said a lot of mean things
about him, not us. We just hit him up.
We'll have him back on for a week.
I still love Brooks and I would love to chat with him.
So very happy for him.
So then my who's back will be I can't do Brooks Kepka
because Hank stole mine.
Well, my was short, so you could.
OK. My who's back in the week is Brooks Kepka
because he won a tournament for the first time in years today.
I think that the PGA Tours would actually
they should have exemptions for any player that wins a live tour event
to come back and play in every single major.
Let them back in. Yeah.
Hashtag let them play. Let them play.
This is the boys play is no worse than what
well, the NCAA was doing to JMU.
But then I guess my other who's back
in the week is us getting way ahead of ourselves
and thinking about great things that could happen way before that they're
actually going to come to us.
I have one for you, P.C.
Haley Bieber and Selena.
So I don't know who those people are.
It was definitely us.
And it was it was.
Oh, wait. No, I saw.
I think I saw you tweet out like the most horny tweet ever.
And I was like, I didn't want to explore anything else about that.
Why were you so horny about it?
What I think that was in horny.
You you made it horny.
Oh, you just made it horny.
No, no, no.
You make it horny. No, I saw.
I think let me explain.
OK, I have to.
I don't know.
Shut the fuck up, Hank.
I'm going to ask if you know what satire is first.
That's my first question.
You're going to ask me tweeting like a basic white chick.
OK, so it was a satirical horny tweet.
It wasn't a horny at all. Oh, no, P.F.T.
It was a show. Show me the tweet. Show me the tweet.
It's a picture of two girls.
And then Hank says, like, this is it or something.
I said, I literally can't. I literally can't. Yeah.
That's that's I think you might have implied the horny.
Well, what would you think if I tweeted a picture of two girls?
And I said, I literally valley girl talk.
Yeah. Selena used to date Bieber.
Yeah. They broke up.
Then Bieber started dating. No, married.
Well, started dating Hailey. Right.
And then they got married.
Selena obviously has a big fan base.
They hate Hailey.
They think that, you know, things were going on while they were still dating.
It doesn't sound satirical to me.
It's a it's a big it's a big it's a big major, major, major rivalry.
And so then taking a picture together had all the basic bitches
of freaking out saying things along the lines of I literally can't.
I'm freaking out.
Oh, my God, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Put it on the log.
So that was my satirical.
Oh, my God, I literally can't.
If I see if I see if I see Hank like if I have a picture of two hot girls.
Picture of two.
Yeah. Who if I tweet two girls, I literally can't.
Oh, wait, are you denying that they're attractive girls?
No, but I get what Hank's saying.
He's talking like he's talking like how the girls that are involved
in this drama would talk. OK.
So when I tweet out a picture of Miley Cyrus
and I am making fun of what Simpson lines say by saying something like
Miley choked me out with the piano string and then run me over with a backhoe.
Yeah, that's actually that's actually me being horny and not satirically horny.
You know, you probably are.
You are probably tweeting with a boner.
You probably are.
It was no hornyness.
It sounds like what I'm doing is exactly what Hank's tweeting.
Like I'm the one that I get all the no.
Because you're doing you're doing tweeted at me.
You're doing satire of horny.
He's just satire of what girls again.
I asked that's why I asked if you knew what satire was.
It's it's all right.
You clearly don't want to do what girls are.
Girls are. Hank, please, please educate me
about how to be satirical online.
I will. I will. I'd appreciate our project for the week. OK.
Put. And you can teach me how to be horny.
You might want to put a little bit longer than that.
Bunk and triggered in the law.
I'm not also put also put not mad in the law mad.
Not all make sure to write an article totally fine.
Jake, can you write an article tomorrow saying that PFT wasn't mad?
Thank you. Was not mad.
I feel like I should publish this as a book.
Thank you. You don't actually have to write that.
I see about to take a note. Oh, OK.
All right. My who's back is baseball playoffs
and the Dodgers.
The Dodgers have not won anything.
We can we agree the bubble, the bubble championship didn't didn't count.
Yeah, that didn't happen. Also for the whole city.
Do we just forget how like right afterwards, they had a couple of players
that had covid celebrating on the field with Magic Johnson?
Yeah, like right up in his face.
That's never done. That was kind of weird. He got eights.
That's just one guy that you should not be hugging.
Anyways, I digress.
One hundred and eleven wins out in four games against the Padres.
Awesome. Yeah, I love it.
And I don't it feels like it feels like Dodgers fans
have been complaining about Dave Roberts for a long time now,
and no one has like realized that maybe he's not.
I mean, he actually guaranteed a World Series, too.
He said that in the middle of the season, he's like, print it.
We're winning the World Series.
Well, you should have some sort of repercussions for that.
You can't guarantee something.
They're not going to cut off a pinky.
At least has to.
But yeah, that was that was awesome.
The Dodgers lost because everyone just was like, oh, the Dodgers are the best team.
They're killing everyone.
They were the best team during the regular season.
And now, obviously, everyone is saying the wild card needs to be longer.
Well, I don't think so.
I think this is just the fun randomness of playoff baseball.
I don't I don't like laughing at Dodgers fans.
I have nothing against Dodgers fans.
I wish nothing but the best for them.
But I do really enjoy laughing at old grumpy baseball writers.
Yeah. And that's that's one of my favorite things in the entire world to do.
And there have been an abundance of articles being like
the playoff system is a complete travesty right now.
It's like, well, you got to you still got to win games.
Yeah, like part of the fun.
The playoffs either, in my opinion, you either need to be one or the other,
which is be in favor of having like no playoffs and just the team
with the best record in the NL against the best record in the A.L.
for seven games or be in favor of having a fun playoff system
where anything can happen.
Still not like baseball or excuse me.
It's still not like basketball where you can lose one game
and then the best team gets eliminated right off the bat.
Right. You're still always going to be a serious college basketball.
And in here's here's a little fun fact.
Whoever ends up winning the World Series, everyone would be like,
that was the best team because they ended up winning 11 or maybe even 13 games.
And everyone like, wow, they played the best baseball in the month of October.
So why don't we pause the whole like this is not fair?
The best team just got bouncing the wild card round.
Just wait for it to play out because if the Phillies go and win the World Series,
if the Astros go and win the World Series, if the like whoever wins the World
Series, we're going to look back and be like, that was the best team.
They won the World Series.
Also, you have to examine what your definition of best is in this situation.
So because a team was better over the course of 163 games,
that team might not necessarily maybe they just beat the fuck out of all
the really bad teams. Well, and when they play against it, that's what some people,
not me, I said, some people are saying about Aaron Judge and his batting
feasting on weaker opponents.
But I'm saying like, if if you're a great team over the course of an entire
regular season, it doesn't always mean that you're the best team in Major League
Baseball. Not only that, but if you're the best team in Major League Baseball,
you should be able to win a five game series with three games at home.
I know they didn't get to a fifth game against a team that just had to play
three games in New York.
Like they just had to play and use up their their pitching rotation.
You had everything set up for you.
Maybe the Dodgers just weren't that good.
I mean, they won a lot of 111 games, but who cares?
I think they were good.
Yeah, they were good. They were definitely a very good team.
But if you win the fucking playoff, you can't beat the Padres that have
absolutely no tradition of winning in the playoffs or whatsoever.
You got you got to be able to beat a team that you're supposed to be better than
it still is weird.
Like I was looking at the Padres celebration on the field and just
seeing like the palm trees behind it.
It's like, that's not October Baseball.
You know what they're starting to.
Yeah, that is it's always weird.
It's like, oh, OK.
The Padres are starting to make me believe in their pinstripes a little bit.
I had the Padres ranked last.
I did a list of my favorite teams and pinstripes and they were dead last
week because they've always looked funky wearing them.
For some reason, this team pulls off the pinstripes better than old Padres teams.
Yeah. Also, if the Padres do win the World Series
and Max, I want to hear from you because you were there on Saturday at the bank.
Does Fernando Tadis get a ring?
That's what I was going to ask you guys.
What do you think he's feeling right now?
I think he's out.
He's probably feeling pretty good somewhere.
He's probably high as shit.
Yeah, he's probably jacked.
Yeah, I think like he's probably playing
Winner League Baseball already, right?
Yeah, I think he did.
I think I think his dad took him around on a tour and he just hit
dingers for everyone being like, he didn't do steroids.
Look at these things.
That's kind of that's kind of cool.
I respect that.
I will say he was on the Seamhead Express.
I cut him if we had won in the finals.
I was not going to give him a ring.
Yeah, so I don't know if the Padres are thinking about the same lines.
Yeah, Max, how we feel about the fight and said I couldn't feel better.
Saturday was probably the best sporting event I've ever been to in person.
It was so loud.
It felt like an SEC football game in there.
Every single pitch was just.
Ruckus and it was there's something that I'll like never see again.
I feel like there's something about playoff baseball being there in person
that I don't I don't know if in person it can be topped by any other sporting event.
Just the intensity throughout.
Right. I like other sports more.
But like being at a playoff baseball game is there's just something about it
that's so fucking awesome football and basketball and hockey.
There's there's stoppages.
There's there's intermissions.
Like obviously there's inning changes, but you just feel that intensity.
Yeah, every pitch every pitch could be a disaster.
Every pitch could be heroic, but it looked like and it was a picture
perfect day in Philly and you feel you feel like you're going all the way.
I mean, I said this before the DS and it was like kind of the same thing.
I was happy that we got into the wild card and played well in the wild card
because it kind of sparked this momentum.
And right now we're just riding that momentum and the team is loose.
We have our win song, which we talked about like every team needs something
going into playoffs Schwerber stole it from the Red Sox.
Well, I actually I had a question about that because Max has come on this show
and is there a chance one nothing?
What? I like I like to say yes.
Yes. What?
I'm sorry. I have to do. He's one nothing. One nothing.
He didn't say that, but one. I think you say one nothing.
Seems like the final score.
It's like nothing is here.
Do you are you worried at all about?
Would you say I stopped it?
Did you say diet to him?
No, he said to you. Oh, he could have said it to Max.
I don't know if he was kind of went like that when he said it.
I think he said it to Max. You're called Max Fatt.
You know, he went like this.
P. F. T. He went. No, he's saying to you because of last time.
No, I know. No.
Pick your boys and are you talking about your food or are you talking about your hair?
Nobody was talking about cell phone when nothing died.
But you also kind of went like that to Max.
Anyway, are you worried at all that Philly
is feels like they might be starting to steal your mojo?
I mean, they literally stole the mojo with this song.
Right. I will say this.
But they are at the top of every sport right now.
The Eagles can fuck right off.
They're not going to win the championship. OK, that's me.
The Sixers also can fuck right off.
I literally need the Eagles to win to be even this year.
When it comes to the Phillies,
I have no negative feelings toward them.
And I've said this on the show many times.
Doing the show, covering sports.
I like watching teams with fan bases that are excited and like going crazy.
That's why you were pumped for the Astros to beat the Mariners.
No, I had. I had a fucking Mariners future.
I was all in on the Mariners.
Eighteen innings by the way.
They absolutely choke that series every single game.
I feel I feel bad for Mariners fans, not necessarily because they lost.
They just stand up the whole time because they had to watch.
They had to watch 18 innings of baseball.
Oh, dude, I kept on checking in on the game and being like, what the fuck?
I was rooting for the Yankees game to end before that one.
Yeah, that would have been awesome.
So, Max, how do you know about Stealing Hanks, Mojo?
Yeah, Hank, Hank, answer this.
Now, I'm curious what Max, are you comfortable with Stealing Hanks, Mojo?
I have no problem with the Phillies winning and I'm kind of rooting for them.
That's that's what I'm saying.
As a story line, start everything, you know how this works.
It could start everything.
Winning, winning begets winning.
I mean, thought about that.
The entire town, the city of Philadelphia, they came out to that Phillies game.
Nick Siriani was there, George Nyang there.
Up until basketball season, I'm proud of Max.
Me and Max are fine.
I like Max and I root for the Phillies.
I don't like Coach Jay wearing like a jersey.
Like, I feel like he should always be in a suit.
I also feel bad.
I mean, what do you guys think that Mike Trout thinks when he watches
like Bryce Harper, you know, put Philly on his back?
He's just pumped about his eagles.
He's like, that should be me.
I think Bryce should be him.
I think I think Mike Trout is just pumped to be a Phillies fan.
Yeah, I think he definitely cares more about the Phillies than he does about
the angels, hundreds, which is such a ridiculous thing to say.
He's watching these games.
Oh, yeah, like Philly blood runs deep to the point where like, you will ignore your job.
There's a story for Mike Trout that when he was in angels camp,
when the Phillies signed holiday, he called his dad and was like, we got holiday.
We got holiday.
And he was like, oh, the angels.
He's like, no, the Philly.
That's why I bet you Trout has like some sort of Phillies thing
that he wears underneath his angels uniform when he plays.
He should really he should really get a trade.
OK, so you didn't answer the question, but you're nervous.
I got it. Billy. Oh, by the way,
the inside the park home run that you guys had,
I think that that's the I think that's the coolest thing to witness live
at a sporting event.
I'm trying to think. Crescendo.
What's what's the NFL equivalent in terms of like loudness,
awesome vibes in one.
It's a kick return, probably.
I was going to say, maybe like a block punt.
Yeah, a kick return, though, like has that crescendo where you're like,
wait, is he going to do it?
Is he going to do it? Is he loose?
You know, it'd be sick if they had a sky if they had a sky cam in baseball
that could follow somebody around as they as they hit it inside the park.
Oh, so where where my seats were, I couldn't see where the ball was.
So all I was doing was just watching him around the bases.
So it was like it just kept getting louder and louder.
And then as soon as he started the round third, it was like, oh, my God,
he's going to do it. He's going to do it.
And then the pop, the all that there's something about the pop
that just like still gives me chills right now.
Dude, it's the best. Hank hates you.
I can tell he's got this look.
Oh, I like the Phillies. I like watching the Phillies.
He's got you. You hated that entire thing, Hank.
All right, Bill, you're who's back?
I like people to be up so that when they go down, it's that much.
Oh, yeah, you're a fucked up person.
You're a freak.
We talked about a lot of it, but the Jets are back.
Sam Eleanor is back.
But also Caleb Plant, the boxer, knocked out
the Nashville born boxer, knocked out Anthony Durell.
And then Walde Anthony Durell was still unconscious on the ground,
started doing the motion of digging.
He said he was going to do it before.
Yeah. Yeah. That that was a fight with actual bad blood.
But a lot of people are angry about it and but killer move.
Yeah. That was an awesome one.
Jake, finish us off.
My who's back is the National Basketball Association.
Oh, the season begins tomorrow.
Oh, wait, Tuesday. Tuesday.
Crazy. We have a double header.
No, we're not going to believe this.
Philadelphia at Boston.
Oh, wow. That's where that's where things are.
Yeah, that will be.
Yeah, everything's going really well for this.
The first game.
Everything's been really good.
Of the NBA season.
They got Blake.
And this is going to get interesting at Blake.
Also, Lakers Warriors and a double header.
So great double header Tuesday night and a big slate Wednesday.
Yeah.
Basketball is not real to me.
When we know it's it's it's Christmas Day.
When we when Hank was like,
I think Max would be good for the job and he was like,
I was like, oh, that would be awesome.
Philly Boston.
He's like, he doesn't have to talk that much about Philly.
And now Philly's winning.
Currently, yeah.
All right.
So wait, wait.
The NBA tips off tomorrow.
I love it. This is the best.
Yep.
So this is our last show before basketball.
Basketball starts finals predictions.
Oh, guys, we're going to have to stick to him.
You ready for this one?
Nuggets.
I said I said I said last season.
No, I changed last season.
I said this is the season before the season.
Every year you fall in love with Nuggets.
Nuggets.
They lose.
I'm going Nuggets.
I wish you could be Nugs Blazers.
You know, I'm OK.
Nuggets and the Celtics.
I'm going to go storyline.
Mavs, Bucks and everyone's just going to be like the European
invasion is is a fully, fully here.
Luka vs. Yanis.
They're going to be like, you know,
US doesn't do basketball anymore.
Wait, wait, can I change mine?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm going to go Celtics Spurs.
No.
OK.
All right, Bobovitch.
He did tell people.
He literally said, yeah, he said, don't bet him.
All right, Jake.
They're plus Zagin.
Spurs are plus 50,000 to win the West.
That's pretty good.
And he said, don't bet them to win the championship.
Yeah, that's true.
So there you go.
So you just gave the Celtics the title.
I'm going to go Heat Warriors.
OK.
Heat Warriors, Billy.
Yeah.
I'm going to go.
Name two basketball teams.
Lakers, Celtics.
There we go.
All right.
Classic.
That's David Stern.
Yeah.
That was literally like Billy Eichner.
Name two basketball teams.
Lakers, Celtics.
Max.
Sixers, Grizzly.
Whoa.
Because that will just be fucking easy for the six.
You know who I think is going to fly onto the radar
a little bit, the Clippers.
Yeah.
Yeah, John Wall.
Classic.
And John Wall.
Yeah, I think that's true.
Not a lot of people are going to talk about them.
But if they're healthy, look at them.
I actually, that's a good call, Jake.
That is a good call.
Yeah, I like that, Jake.
Although they are the Clippers.
I might just say.
I just want to change mine to the Suns,
because I really think that this is the year that,
I think this is Chris Paul's year.
Next year.
Nuggets.
I think it'd be a tremendous disappointment.
It's on the record, but your pick is the Nuggets.
Just put that, Jake.
Keep a note.
Next year, preseason, he probably wants to pick the Sun.
This is the season before the season for Chris Paul.
OK, numbers.
Hank, Max Homa had a question for you.
He wants to know if you've ever gotten the lottery machine
correct.
No, Max.
But I was going to ask that same question, have you?
Refer to my answer to Max.
But Max has, right?
Max, our Max.
Back girl.
Yeah, back girl has gotten it.
He has.
So won nothing.
Right?
It is certainly won nothing.
I think this is the day Hank gets it.
17.
Absolutely not.
17.
I can see 17 right there, Hank.
Are you sure you want to pick that one?
It's all the way on the side.
I swear to God, I'm looking at 17.
I'll go 34.
18.
I'm going to go 1.
I'll go 16.
Billy?
6'9".
He's never getting it.
48.
No, fall.
Didn't stick.
Oh, we got a fall top.
That's too bad.
48.
Polar bears have black skin.
I don't need to trace those in the air.
We'll have to guess.
Don't give away things with the machines.
Scouting around the world.
I don't know what I'm saying.
They made it for me.
I've been technology.
It's Jason, I've been defining it.
I'm outside the lion's room.
Feeding on remains.
I'm coming for your love, okay?
Show me the way.
Look, I smile.
So in love with the way we are.
I'm coming for your love, okay?
Come on, baby.

Don't leave me.
Don't leave me.

Come on.

Show me the way.
Come on.
