Today is Monday, December 30th, week 17. One last trip around the sun, boom, tige, boom, in Detroit where the lions were ready to get down with Dave Blau Blau. Dave Blau Blau.

Your kitchen's nightmares over Cleveland, as there won't be any nookies under the tree for Freddie Dreuert's kitchens as he beaker the limp biscuit of a season and the rollid-rollid-rollid-rollid como his ass out of town. Bangles 33, Browns 23. In Kansas City, where Anand Meekle Smith turned a lot of guys into hard men when he ran back a kick the equivalent of a 104 centerfold.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Phil Collins Rivers tried to tell you no, but his body keeps on telling us yes as he asked for just one more night to throw a couple interceptions. Terrell, I don't want no Suggs said don't go chasing waterfalls. He'll stick to sacking the rivers that he's used to. Chiefs clinched the first round by with a 31-21 win. Kansas City. In Baltimore, I wear as his customary throughout the record books when these two teams match up. RG three billboards outside Ubbings, Missouri put out decent film before Oscar season. In a crucial moment, Devlin Sonic the Hedgehogs got hit and lost his coins leading to a Raven score. The Mike Tomlin Sanity ran out of the Steelers season, but they still got that stick off their
Starting point is 00:05:04 September. The Ravens 28. The Steelers. Dolphins 27. New England 24. In Houston, where AJ McCarran Price should have bought his offensive Lyman Rolexes because they gave him no time to pass and all they could do is watch. Derek Gagnier Henry was all juiced up rushing for three touchdowns and an amazing 40 time chugging for two 11 yards. Mike Vrabel better have Lorena Bobbitt on speed dial because the Titans are in the playoffs and Vrabel's manhood is on the endangered species list as first reported by part of my take via busing with the boys. Titans 35. Texans 14. Whip! Rublin, Stubblin, Bublin. Standing on a cord of James Winston Tampa Florida, such a fine sight to see.
Starting point is 00:06:27 He was stuck at 29 with the game on the line and threw a pick six to get to 30. He's a gamer. Don't be a shamer. If he gets his eyes fixed, don't be a Hall of Famer. Dolphins 28. Bucks 22. To Mile High where it was the last game as the Oakland Raiders and Drew sitting on the lock of the bay, crashed the party as the Sean Alexander Hamilton was there to read them their Lin-Manuel Miranda rights. Many thought that Hunter Biden Renfro was unqualified to earn his rookie contract but it turns out it was a perfect call. An absolutely perfect call by General Trump Gruden. Bronco 16. The Las Vegas Raiders 15. In the metal lands where Howie Roseman showed this holiday season, it's better to give than have receivers. Boston
Starting point is 00:07:27 Michael Scott came out of nowhere. That's what she said. Scoring more than an all-inclusive trip to Sandals, Jamaica. On the defensive side of the ball, Cox got great penetration. That's what she said. No more. That's what she said, Michael. And the Eagles stood tough through Saquad Barclays running. Well, well, well, how the term tables. The Eagles are back in the playoffs as a soaking wet Eli looked on disappointed. That's what she said. Don't do that again. Eagles 34. The G-Men 17. The New York Football Giant. The New York Football Giant. We finished in Seattle for the NFC West where it was Jimmy Garoppolo versus Marshawn Lynch. The beauty and the beast mode. Kiddles versus Kiddles was an instant classic. Travis Homer Simpson and
Starting point is 00:08:12 Marshawn Lynch made for an animated backfield as the Seahawks tried to launch the nuclear locket ship to come back in the second half. Raheem Dijon Mostard had all the sauce as the 49ers went in the West and clinched home failure advantage. A place I know well because a young Swam was there for the catch. Look at all that hair. That's your Swam. 49ers 26. Seahawks 21. All right. Week 17. Holy shit. That was an awesome, awesome, awesome end to the 2019 regular season. It was a great way to end it. And this morning I woke up and it really did hit me for the first time that it was week 17. I had done such a good job of compartmentalizing and not allowing myself to realize that this was the official end of football season. And it hit me
Starting point is 00:09:01 like a ton of bricks. But then there's nothing like an awesome game slate on Sunday to totally wipe that off my brain. Now I'm excited for the playoffs. And everyone went into this week 17 being like, oh, okay. Everyone kind of knows who's in the playoffs. There's a couple situations, you know, the Titans are going to win. So it doesn't really matter. Everything basically went up in smoke for in terms of seating. The last game, which we'll start with was an instant classic out in Seattle. The 49ers hold on to get the one seed, which we were sitting here watching it talking about all the implications. If the Seahawks win that game, the Packers then have the one seed, the Saints have a buy and the two seeds. So they only have to win one game away from home.
Starting point is 00:09:41 And everything gets blown up by that last play at the goal line. Holy shit. Seahawks, how do you take that delay a game? I actually think conspiracy theory here that Pete Carroll took to delay a game on purpose because he didn't want to be stuck in a situation where he screwed up on the one yard line again with March on Lynch back, which that's like, that that game was so good. We forgot how awesome it was at March on Lynch's back. Yes. And he got that touchdown where he jumped over the line. I think they were going to get this deck. Yeah, they were going to give him the ball on the one that had to give him the ball this time. So yeah, Pete Carroll kind of saved himself from himself by backing it up to the six yard line. But then the very end of the game, well, first of all,
Starting point is 00:10:22 before they got there, there was a questionable, unnecessary roughness penalty on the Niners that backed them up on their drive. Right. There were so many different ball don't lie situations in this game. The ball weaved in a very intricate web of deception throughout the game. So I was not sure if the end of the game was a ball don't lie. If the pass interference that wasn't called was a ball don't lie. If the Hollister getting tackled at the one and then rotating over to the end zone was a ball don't lie. I don't know if the ball lied or not. I'm pretty sure that it doesn't. I don't think I think the 49ers were the better team throughout the year. So I think they deserve to win the NFC West and they deserve to get the one seed. Russell Wilson with the ball in the
Starting point is 00:11:01 fourth quarter. There's nothing like it. He's just an electric factory when you watch him. I've thrown this out there for a few years now, but in terms of quarterbacks, I want to have the ball at the end of the game. He's my number one. Yeah, he's my number one. Even though they didn't score there, he's still my number one because he did everything to get them to score. I don't know who do you blame the delay a game on, but credit to the 49ers for holding on and the odds of they're like getting to the Super Bowl just drastically changed now that they get two home games to get to Miami instead of being the fifth seed and having to finish this game and then immediately fly to Philadelphia and play the Eagles who got who win the NFC East. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:11:43 a lot. There was a lot at stake at the very end of this game and Russell Wilson is the great part about Russell is he's mastered all these different weird little nuances in the position of quarterback. So he can slide better than any quarterback. Yes, he's really good at running out of bounds and holding the ball forward to get that extra yard. He takes sacks really well. He does that turtle thing. He's great at getting tackled. He will slide his head into a defender's knee and draw a hit to the head of the quarterback. Yes, every single time he's really, really good at all these like weird little parts of the game. It was an instant classic and I feel like all the Seahawks do is play an instant classic games. Yes. And honestly, you know, not take anything away from the Seahawks
Starting point is 00:12:26 because they are a playoff team and they played a great game. But if you're a Seahawks fan losing that game, now you have to go to Philadelphia and you have to win three games on the road to get to Miami. That feels like a mountain a little too tall to climb. It's tough. It's tough. It's not impossible. I still feel like the Seahawks are one of those teams that if they get healthy on defense, they could beat anybody. Not a lot of time. Not a lot of time. And they're also one of those teams where you think about them traveling east and it's like, that's early. Although they did beat the Eagles earlier in the season in Philadelphia, which I've always wanted this about West Coast fans for these late night games. You get done with a game at what, 8 30 at night?
Starting point is 00:13:06 Do you eat before the game or after the game? No, I think they, I think they eat during the game. They have dinner parties. Yeah, they do it during the game. But I guess it would be beneficial to be on the West Coast right now because then you have four hours to like stay up and be juiced up about that game because I don't know if you're on the East Coast and you're watching that game, you can't go to sleep. That was such a great game. We were standing, I was standing up. That's what, that's the key to like when you know a game is an instant classic. When you find yourself just involuntarily standing up in your living room or we're sitting in the studio right now, big plays, I would just get up. Like why am I standing? I have no idea. We're just amps. Football
Starting point is 00:13:42 has just made me rise to my feet because I'm so into the moment. Football is the best drug known to man. This also going and we should give credit to the 49ers too because offensively the 49ers are a problem for the way they run their offense. I know you have your no, no, no, that's not what I was gonna say. You know, I wasn't gonna say that. I was gonna say Kyle Shanahan. You kind of let me down by punting there on fourth and one when your offense is so good in any one yard and you're supposed to be the guy like there's a, there's a little nerd Twitter bot that I follow that does the in-game percentages. They, their percentage to win the game went down by 19% by punting instead of going for it. I thought they should have gone for it. He was yelling. He was so emphatic about
Starting point is 00:14:24 saying the pun team out there. It looked like he was thinking about it. So are you saying also Shanahan in the playoffs? Also at the, at the very end of the game, Kyle, you could have taken a knee. You could have taken that safety for me, given me the over, the world, so many for Al Michaels for the over for the Seahawks plus three and a half. That was an all time. Are they going to take that safety and just like swing every single bet? And then we get Revelled to tweet some stupid like, Oh, this many billions of dollars changed hands. Shut up. All right. I was upset though, because I did not get a graphic. I did not get an example shown on the screen of how loud it is in Seattle. Yeah. Usually they'll compare it. They'll show how loud other things
Starting point is 00:15:01 are. They'll be like, here's the decibel level for the fans in Seattle. Here's what a jet engine sounds like. Here's what it sounds like when you're recording a podcast and nobody will clear the air out of the pipes in your studio. Like all these very loud things to compare it. So I had no idea if it was loud or not. The, uh, I think that they haven't done a story about the Seattle crowd recently enough for people to remember it because I, I listen, they're in, they're hanging in the rafters. Remember that the only team that's ever, uh, what they put the, the only team that's ever, what they put the, they, they basically retired. No, they did retire the number 12. That's whatever. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to, I'm not going to beat up on Seattle right
Starting point is 00:15:42 now because that was a bad loss. That's such a lame move. I need an update right now because I'm pretty sure there was some ongoing litigation between Texas A&M and Seattle fans for who gets the right to the number 12. I think they, I think they like Texas A&M like leased it to them. They franchise it. They own the number 12 and you can, you can pay them a rate to use it. What I was going to say though is I facetiously tweeted out like, is it always this loud in Seattle? And a lot of people were like, yeah, dude, it's always this loud. Like that was clearly a joke because for, I think what's happened is there was that run. It was probably like right when the beast quake happened until they won a Super Bowl. Every time Seattle played in a primetime game,
Starting point is 00:16:20 the lead story was, man, these fans are loud. They haven't done that. I think, you know what, I'm going to blame Rick Riley. Rick Riley not having his little, uh, you know, two minute spot on Monday night football has ruined our awareness of the Seattle crowd being the loudest in the NFL. Whether or not it's loud, Rick Riley did have a heater though. He said, I haven't seen a red zone mismanaged that badly since I got that parking ticket as DIA. So DIA, you might wonder what that is. That's the Denver international airport where Rick apparently, yeah. So Rick is like throwing some a little red meat out there to praise to all the conspiracy nuts. Yeah. But that was very timely on his part. But what I was going to say about the 49ers offense,
Starting point is 00:16:59 it's so tough to defend because all their plays look the same when they're when they're lining up to run them, but they could run a trap. They could run a seam to Kittle. They use him as a blocker. They use basically throw it to fullback down the field. Him and juice. It's like, you don't know if they're going to hit you from the side or if they're going to release on a wheel route. It's like impossible. And then even when they run the ball, it almost feels more creative the way that they run the ball than the way that they pass. It's like, who's the guy on Twitter? Pitching Ninja? Yeah. That shows you, okay, here's the delivery on this guy's four seam fastball. And here's his delivery on a curveball. And he overlays at the same time. You could do that
Starting point is 00:17:38 exact same thing and overlay the San Francisco offense. And it would end up in two completely different places. Kyle Shanahan has made running the ball sexy again. Like it's it's it's become an air league. It's become a passing league. Everyone's breaking every single record, but he has made it sexy. And that's why I'm more disappointed than I would be with any other team when the 49ers have basically a chance to ice the game by getting one yard. And that's my only concern. Kyle Shanahan, don't start seeing ghosts, man. You're a good coach. You're a really fucking good coach. You have a really good team. You're the one seed. Don't start seeing ghosts out there. A little Super Bowl past all that. Yeah. No,
Starting point is 00:18:15 he's overcorrected from the Super Bowl pass. Now he runs the ball more often. Yes. And passes it less than he should sometimes. All right, let's go to we're going to do all the games. Can I bring up one last thing about the broadcast? Well, actually, there are two things I'm going to miss about about Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football coming to us. Well, we get Sunday Night Football on Saturday. We can get it, but it's not the same. Yeah, please. Please give me the Monday Night Football Saturday edition graphic. Yeah, I'd appreciate that. I'm going to miss the ongoing computer graphics battles between the Sunday Night Football crew and the Monday Night Football crew when they put up those weird little animation sequences in the middle of games, which
Starting point is 00:18:49 by the way, ESPN totally kicks the shit out of them. It's like Virgin Sunday Night Football, Chad Monday Night Football graphics. I'm going to miss that. The second thing is Al and Chris brought back the quarter zip. One was wearing a cardigan. The other guy was wearing like a golf quarter zip. They looked like two gay parents who were upset at the lifestyle choice of their heterosexual son. Okay. I mean, okay. Yeah. Yeah. They were just they were very ashamed. Okay. How do I tell your father? Yeah, I mean, I love the broadcast too. Yeah. All right. Should we get into the whole sleep? That not make sense. I know it made sense. It made sense. It was yeah, it made sense. I just didn't like it. Yeah, you know, I just see them. I'm I just I just see them wearing sweaters.
Starting point is 00:19:37 I yeah, I look like I just wear and sweat. I'm like, yeah, they're they're white guys in their 50s. Of course, they're wearing sweaters. Yeah, that's what every white guy in his 50s wears. I'd like to see a suit. All right, let's do the the whole slate of games. Some games will skip over pretty quickly, but some we got to focus on and you'd think that we're going to start with the Patriots somehow losing the dolphins, but they actually got upstaged by the game of the one o'clock hour. And that was the one and only James Winston with the walkoff pick six to get his 30th interception of the year, the first, the only member of the 30 30 club 30 touchdowns, 30 interceptions. I let's start with actually where Bruce Aryan said after the game in evaluating
Starting point is 00:20:25 James's future with the team. He said there's so much good and so much outright terrible. Yep, that perfectly sums up James. That's James Winston in a nutshell right there. I love him. And not only was it a walkoff pick six for the 30 interception mark, it also hit the over. Yes, so it was like a play perfectly designed for us. I felt like I feel like the football gods were beaming that directly into our ears and our eyes. It was incredible. And James Winston, we've been on this all year. This has been a storyline all year that he is comically the funniest quarterback to ever grace God's earth. And he is now in the record books. He also is the good he's the eighth quarterback all time to throw for over 5000 yards in a season,
Starting point is 00:21:05 which he also got in this game, which he also got in this milestone game for James. It was incredible. James could have he it was like Ted Williams when he hit 400. James could have sat out that overtime right and not given us that 30th interception, but he wanted to give the fans what they came there. It was to a linebacker. He has linebacker blindness. He also said after the game in an awesome James press conference, he said, if you look at my numbers, I'm ballin. I got to stop giving the ball to the other team. If I eliminate those, I'm going to be the best. You better check the sheet. I'm going to be the best. That's true. It is. If he doesn't throw interceptions, he would be the MVP. He's ball through no interceptions this year. He would have
Starting point is 00:21:43 been the MVP, but if he threw no interceptions, he wouldn't be James. That's why we love him. And he says that he wants $30 million a year. Should I actually think that as far as entertainment value goes, his worth for the NFL is worth well over $30 million. Yes. Because of what he delivers to the fans. If he doesn't get 30 million, I will pitch in. I will help James get up there to that point because he's worth every penny. I pray, you know, when you get the bump from a team does well and they get the, they get the prime time bump like the Bears had it this year. They played whatever five, six prime time games because they were good last year. Please give James the bump. Please give James the bump so we can see him in Sunday night and
Starting point is 00:22:23 Monday night all next year. Like when, when the schedule makers are trying to figure out how to get a good matchup in week 12, just throw James in there because he, no matter who he plays, he could play no one and it would be pure entertainment. Yeah, absolutely. So yeah, I agree 100% James needs to be featured more. He is probably my favorite quarterback to watch play. Yes. I don't think that there's even a close second. I mean, maybe Lamar or Pat Mahomes when they're at the, yeah, but they're like good, good. Yeah, they're good. Yeah, you're just like, oh my God, that was an amazing throw. Yeah, you don't get the slapstick of James going out in overtime against the Falcons squinting and having an anvil fall in his head and have his linemen
Starting point is 00:23:02 use a spatula to pick him up off the ground. I cannot cartoon character. James Winston is a cartoon character. And if I'm, if I'm Bruce Arians, I don't know that I want to fix his site. I think as far as it goes, first of all, I don't think that Bruce Arians believes in LASIK eye surgery. No, I think he'll probably just tell James to go stare directly at the sun for a couple hours every day. And hopefully that'll, the sun's rays, Ray Baker, will be his eye surgeons and help correct some of that. No, but James, like just think about it. He was, we talked about the 30 interceptions all year and we get to overtime. Shout out to Ann Quinn for a meaningless game, kicking a field goal to tie it up.
Starting point is 00:23:40 Uh, we get to overtime and he does it a pick six to end it. And here's even more poetic justice. James Winston. So we don't know what's going to happen with him. I assume the bucks are going to bring him back at least maybe franchise tag him, whatever it may happen. But let's just say James Winston is a free agent and goes somewhere else. James Winston, the first pass he ever threw for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a pick six, a pick six, week one, 2015 against the Titans. His last pass for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a pick six, week 17, 2019 against the Atlanta Falcons. That is so fucking poetic. So I actually am rooting for him to not be on the bucks that year, just so we can be like, look at that. It would be a great ending to a great career.
Starting point is 00:24:24 Yeah. Do you really? Yes. I think you say that. No, I do. You say that, but I think, I think you're at it. They're always going to change a little bit. No, they're always going to stink. Not being able to laugh at him, but having people laugh at you for him. We're going to get to this, but Carson Wentz threw for 4,000 yards. First time at Eagles quarterbacks ever thrown for 4,000 yards. There's only one team left that has not had a 4,000 yard passer. It's a Chicago Bears. So I want James. Well, yeah, he's definitely going to get to 4,000. I was trying to figure out earlier this week who the leading tackler on the bucks offenses this year. Oh, great question. It's not James because he stinks at tackling. Yeah. Yeah. Because he can't see the guy after
Starting point is 00:25:00 he throws the ball to him. Although seven of them. So 30 interceptions, seven of them weren't tackled. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So that hurts the stats a little bit. Yeah. I would say Philip Rivers is actually really good at throwing interceptions that get tackled afterwards. Cameron Bray. Cameron Bray. I was going to say Mike Evans because he's fast. He's big. Yeah. He usually chases a guy down from behind, but that's there's a lot of the, a lot of the pictures of the linebackers. Right. So a tight end. Someone, someone give us that stat. Who's the leading tackler on the bucks offense? Yes. Last thing about this game, because we should just quickly talk about the Falcons. They are perfectly, perfectly placed to be one of the dark horse teams in 2020
Starting point is 00:25:37 because they finished the season on a high note. They go seven and nine after a terrible start. They keep Dan Quinn. They keep to me. Mitri off. This will definitely be the, you'll be sitting September 2020 or 2020 and you'll be watching the Fox pregame and someone probably shreyhand will probably say, you know, which team I really got my eye on the Atlanta Falcons. Hey, they've got all the talent. They got all the great receivers. Yes. Yes. All right. So, oh, we didn't even mention too. The Falcons had the longest touchdown by a player weighing at least 300 pounds in NFL history. That was pretty sick. Yes. Tackle eligible, which wasn't covered at all. Yes. And as Danny Kelly pointed out, that guy does, he looks like me, but like a bigger,
Starting point is 00:26:20 he looks like if I ate you. Yes. And if you put a picture up, oh my God, it's crazy. It's hilarious. What was the guy's name? Ty Sambrello. Ty Sambrello, immediately my favorite tight end in the NFL, even though he's a tackle. And Jamis one of one had one stat for us. 12 times a quarterback has thrown 30 interceptions in the NFL. None of those 12 times has the quarterback also thrown 30 touchdowns in that season. There you go. So electric. Jamis is the greatest of all time. Yes, he is. He's one of one. He's fucking nuts. And he's hilarious. And I love him. He actually is the answer. And we're going to get to the Phil Rivers later, but he is the answer to like losing our heroes, Eli, Phil Rivers, Ben Rosberger. If Jamis can be in the NFL for another decade,
Starting point is 00:27:01 he will be the he will the torch has been passed to our hilarious quarterbacks we can make fun of. He's almost he's almost actually, if you like threw all three of those guys into, you know, you have like the Rottlesburg. You've got the Phillip Rivers. Interception. You got the squinting Eli Manning dumb face. It's all kind of perfect. Yeah. The Phil Rivers God, like he really is just mashing all three of those guys together. You get Jamis. Yeah, he's designed in a lab to be just our perfect person for us, a special little boy. All right. Let's do the next big game, the Patriots Dolphins. I'm still shocked that the Patriots lost this game. I'm not Tom Brady at home versus AFC teams have finished with a losing record before this game was 61 and oh 61 and zero.
Starting point is 00:27:47 That's insane. He never had lost to an AFC team that had a losing record at the end of the year. The Dolphins stunned them. I don't even know it's you. How are you not shocked? I know it's the Ryan Fitzpatrick part, right? This Patrick was his magic. We were due for Fitz magic. We hadn't gotten full Fitz magic this year yet. And this game was what you get. You get one incredible performance. You get one thing that shocks the world every season out of Ryan Fitzpatrick. This was it. Also, if you look at who the Dolphins played last week, it was the Bengals. So the Patriots weren't able to scout the Bengals properly because of the last time they tried to do that. So they didn't have all the intel down on the Dolphins. But here's where it was shocking to me.
Starting point is 00:28:26 It was the Patriots offense has been bad or mediocre, whatever you want to call it all year. So you kind of expected them to not, you know, be able to win a shootout. The Patriots defense has been great all year. Stefan Gilmore was the defensive player of the year up until today. He probably lost it today because Devonte Parker went off and it wasn't all to him. But that part, like you don't see a Bill Belichick team come out flat for a game that they should be able to roll. You're probably thinking right now, where's Hank? He's not here. He is on vacation yet again. We'll learn vacation. Should we call him? Yeah, let's give him a call. See what he's up to. See where the panic button is right now. He's probably, oh, hey, what's up, Hank? What's up?
Starting point is 00:29:20 How's your vacation? What? How's your vacation? It's going well. It's going well. You know, we had a tough day today. We put some things in the past. We're on 2020. Wait, do you mean, like, on your vacation you had a tough day or was there something else that happened? Well, on the, you know, on the slow house scheme, I fell a couple times. I had a couple of bumps and bruises and then I got off. Patriots lost the game. Oh, we weren't even calling about that. We were just calling to see how your vacation is. I actually have a Seeky question for you, Hank. Seeky promo code TAKE. You can go to the Patriots wildcard round next Saturday with Seeky promo code TAKE. You get $10 off. My question to you is where's the panic button?
Starting point is 00:30:10 Panic button's out. I mean, the panic button, the panic button's firmly out, ready to get pressed. It's out. It's fully out. Are you worried at all about the Titans or do you think that you're going to win this one and then the next game, the wheels are going to fall off? No, I'm worried about the Titans. I mean, clearly Brian Flores, Belichick disciple, he beat us today. Michael another Belichick disciple. He's coming in next week. I'm concerned. I'm very worried. Yeah. Last, last question or maybe not even a question, more of a statement, want your thoughts. Turnover differential in this game minus two. Patriots didn't get any turnovers. They turned the ball over twice. Thoughts. Yeah. Defensive player of the year candidate
Starting point is 00:30:55 did the exact opposite of what you would hope for him to do. Defense didn't play great. That's magic. Just tore us up. Yeah. Yeah. It's a tough one to swallow for sure. Do you feel at all responsible for the Dolphins beating the Patriots because of the very vulgar Dolphin sound effects that you put into our last past two minutes? I mean, that's honestly like it's the biggest catch 22 of the entire season. It's fucked up. Say something nice about the dolphins. I have nothing nice to say about them. Oh, no. All right. Well, all right. You still have three days more of your vacation. So I'm sure you'll rebound. Yeah. You probably have another vacation before the new year. So I guess squeeze out all those days. Yeah. Yeah. That's true. Okay. All
Starting point is 00:31:43 right. Well, we'll talk to you later, man. We still got like two more hours of the show to go. Bye, Hank. All right. Love you guys. Okay. Love you too, Hank. I'm sorry again for last year. Oh, man. That's tough. That is very, very tough. So I just want to take a quick victory lap here for accurately predicting that the Dolphins were going to beat the Patriots in week 17, and they finished the season with five wins, which wasn't your seven, but I went back, looked at their schedule. They lost by one point to the Jets. Wait, but that's still let me finish one point to the Jets, one point to the R words and only 49 to the Ravens. They could have very easily been eight and eight. They could eight and eight and looking at possibly
Starting point is 00:32:22 a while. They could have been in the hunt. Seven wins fell short. Too short. Also, did you guys see the story that the Patriots? Yeah, the Patriots, they that was me. That was me. That was me. I just came out. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I am sorry. Five foot seven and nine. That's that's me in the Dolphins. The Patriots, they lent their plane to Navy. Yes. That's the Navy. I guess Navy doesn't have any planes. So. So Bob Kraft gave them their play. I don't know if the Patriots got to fly on their normal plane over the course of last week for any like unexpected trips or whatever. But that's kind of a that's tough when you're when your owner is giving out your plane to a branch of the armed forces. Yeah. The Navy is using the Patriots as their own
Starting point is 00:33:05 personal Uber. So that's tough. Yeah. It's it's it's it's crazy how different the playoffs look now because the Patriots have to play the Titans on Saturday night. And I we disagree on this and we'll do a big playoff preview. By the way, we're going to have a new show Thursday night. So we'll release it early, but we'll have a new show previewing the entire playoffs and everything and talking about the bowl games on Wednesday. We're not going to have a show on Thursday morning. But I I feel like the Patriots are going to roll the Titans and everyone's going to buy back in and then they're going to lose to the Chiefs. I don't think so. I think I think the Titans take it. OK. Is this the end of the Patriots dynasty? Let me put on my Max Kellerman hat.
Starting point is 00:33:43 Do it. Tom Brady is the goat. But I think Travis Henry or Derek Henry, excuse me, is the boat running back. There it is. Yeah. All right. Speaking of the team that took their buy. So the Chiefs, the Chiefs beat the Chargers, which I think we all went into this game assuming that the Patriots were going to win. So this game didn't really mean anything. The Chiefs were going to be the three seed no matter what. Turns out not. I actually I had a thought. I like to put myself in like the mindset of other fan bases during games. So as they were playing the Patriots score and the fans were going crazy, I feel like that was the best post game tailgate you could ever have given obviously a playoff win is probably going to be better. But given the fact
Starting point is 00:34:32 that this isn't a real week of work, Wednesday is a day off. Yeah. You have the one the one o'clock game noon in Kansas City. You not only beat the Chargers, but you get the two seed and the buy and then you get to go basically watch the rest of week 17 in the back of your pickup and stand there and talk about how awesome the game was. That was Nirvana. It's two wins at once. Yeah, you got a double win. And I think they're going to really enjoy that until Saturday and Sunday come around and they're going to be like, I kind of wish the Chiefs were playing. They're going to miss watching their Chiefs play in Kansas City. How about Kevin Harlan doing the play by play for both games? That was like when Alicia Keys played two pianos at the same time at
Starting point is 00:35:08 the Grammy Awards. Kevin Harlan going back and forth between each live update and then the crowd. It reminded me. You remember when John Cena announced that the U.S. killed Osama Bin Laden at WrestleMania or whatever that was? That's what it reminded me of seeing all the fans like whispering the scores to each other and going like progressively like more insane and getting so amped up and into it. Kevin Harlan, I actually was thinking about this because he does the radio calls. He doesn't do TV for the NFL because I think so. Week 17, they need everyone all hands on deck because all the games are going on at once. I'm pretty sure he does the radio. He definitely called the black cat. Remember that? The black cat? That was radio.
Starting point is 00:35:52 That was a Monday night game. So he should be on TV. That's crazy. When he was calling me Cole Hardman's run back, I kind of stopped in my tracks like, fuck, Kevin Harlan is, he honestly might be my favorite play by play, like all sports. The only thing that sucks about Kevin Harlan is I just hear his voice and I say, oh no, he's down. He's down. He's holding his knee. It's Derek Rose over and over, but all that aside and Sam Decker's father-in-law. That's true. Shout out Kevin Harlan. You mean Olivia Harlan Decker's father? Father. Father. Yeah, Olivia Harlan Decker's husband's wife's father. Father. He really is though. We should have him. Why isn't he, I'm not going to,
Starting point is 00:36:35 I'm not going to talk about another man's job. No, we don't do that. He should be the Monday night. He should be. I like that call that he had on the run back too because he almost cussed when he was doing it. And that's, I always love an announcer catching themselves from saying, holy shit, live, because that's what everybody else is saying. Why do we have those rules, by the way? I feel like that should be like a free zone. What? An announcer should be allowed to break the FCC rules on vulgarity. I agree. You should be allowed to, Al Michael should be like, holy fucking shit. Why did Cal, Shanahan not take a knee in the end zone? Every goddamn person in America had to fucking over. You piece of shit. The only problem with that, I agree with you. The
Starting point is 00:37:09 only problem with that is we might get into that dicey territory whenever you see like someone go from leave at ESPN and they're like, I can swear now, you know, restrict your plates off. Then they over do it. I'm going to go crazy. Yeah. Like you thought I was, you thought I was a bad boy at ESPN. Wait till you hear me now. And then they overdoing it. Like this is weird. Yeah, you got Joe Tessitore dropping C bombs. Yeah, we don't need that. Phil Rivers. Yeah. So well, some good news about Phil Rivers. Okay. Yeah. After the game, Phil Rivers said retirement is not really an option. So he would get too many kids. Yeah, exactly. He would consider playing for a team other than the charges. If they don't bring him
Starting point is 00:37:44 back, I don't blame them. You've got nine kids. You probably don't want to be hanging around around your family that often. So I think we're going to get Philip Rivers in the NFL next year. Now what I'm doing in my own head is trying to conjure away to not have Joe Burrow play in Cincinnati. And I'm thinking he would fit. Yeah, he would fit. Because you can just see Philip Rivers for the Bengals. You could see what if it was Philip Rivers and Joey Bosa. That's the Bosa, right? Yeah. Philip Rivers and Joey Bosa traded plus their first round pick to the Bengals for their first overall pick. You don't see the washed up like 40 year old quarterback traded for the number one overall very often. But Philip Rivers is worth it.
Starting point is 00:38:30 I mean, like James Winston, the entertainment factor that you get from Philip Rivers, when he was like, I wanted to picture Philip Rivers cussing at the guy in the chiefs. I think it was Chris Jones. He was like trying to punch. He did a little punch. It was the cutest little punch. He did a little peanut punch. He's like, I want to punch this guy. He did when you get your friend two for punching, but you feel bad. And he was like, I'll just hit him lightly. He did that. He had a little punch buggy. It was so cute. It was a punch buggy when your mom's in the car. Yeah, it's like, Mom, I don't want to hit you, but I have to. Oh, I was saying you hit your friend. Yeah. While your mom. No, you got to give your mom a slug in the arm. Hit your mom. I mean,
Starting point is 00:39:04 if it's a punch buggy. Okay, you have to. Weird. Or if she looks. My next question is what happens now for the Kansas City Chiefs fans because you owe Ryan Fitzpatrick a gift. You remember a couple years ago when Andy Dalton got the bills into playoffs. You owe Ryan Fitzpatrick a gift. I don't know. Do you start a scholarship at Harvard for the quarterback with the sickest beard coming out of college or at high school? Maybe buy everyone in America, Rubik's Cube. There you go. Come on, Chiefs fans. That's perfect. That's only what 300 million people times. How much does Rubik's Cube cost? Did you ever get yours, Bubba? Did you ever do it? Nope, quit. You were working on it for like two months. 2020. Damn, 2020. So just raise a billion dollars, Chiefs. That works.
Starting point is 00:39:49 Phil Rivers in his post game was teary eyed. I was emotional watching it. He said, I can say I gave it everything I had and maybe it means an interception on fourth and 18 down 10. Yep. Yeah, we know. Because I don't care that it's going to say two interceptions. Yeah, we know. And he said, I ain't quitting doing it with so many guys over 14 years and going into the locker and winter lose. Don Gammett, Gammett. How? Dad Gammett. Dad Gammett. Dad Gammett. I wrote it down wrong. Dad Gammett. Dad Gammett. Yeah. Dad Gammett. But shoot, I couldn't have tried any harder. Yep. Put that audio in actually. I'll send it to you, Liam. Put that in. Let's play it right now. Think it's that I can say I gave it everything I had. I mean, every week, you know, so,
Starting point is 00:40:36 you know, and maybe it means an interception on fourth and 18 when you're down 10. Because I don't care that it's going to say two interceptions. You know, I really don't. It's just like I ain't quitting. So I think that I think that that I'm doing it with so many guys over, you know, 14 years and and going to the locker room, winter lose. And I can say, Dad Gammett, we're sure we felt we felt short, but or we won, you know, but shoot, I couldn't try it any harder. That's better than Lou Gehrig's speech. Unbelievable. I cried. I was like watching it. I got a little teary eyed. Watching your favorite athletes break down in tears, talking about how cool their interceptions were is it's so awesome to experience as a fan. The fact that he just
Starting point is 00:41:18 admits like fourth and 18. I don't care. Yeah, we know. We know. It's going to have to tell us. Yeah, I don't care that I threw two interceptions. Yeah. And the fact that he tossed in like that, I was down 10 points throwing in a second. Yeah, yeah, you watch a game film every day. I actually saw this tweet. I can't remember. I'm sorry. Whoever tweeted it. I apologize. I didn't write it down. But if you flipped like you were talking about with the dolphins, if you flipped one score games and you just changed all the standings, every one score game, if you just flipped the result, the chargers would be 12 and four, which is so perfect. That's great. So perfectly chargers. Yeah. I mean, Phillip Rivers is a great quarterback to have on your team if
Starting point is 00:41:56 you're trying to tank because you'll be he's like feisty enough to be competitive. Yeah. So he accomplishes as a one man wrecking crew with the entire Bengals organization did this year, which is like remain competitive, but don't win any of the games that are going to sacrifice your draft business. Right. Right. All right. He just had too much talent on his team. So he ended up with what five wins four wins. I think they won five games, five games. Yeah. They might have won six actually. I don't know. He that would just a perfect fill rivers season through and through like everything he did. Just man, you can't he can't retire. He's not going to retire. Retirement is not an option. Thank God. All right. Packers, Lions, the Chargers won five games. Packers,
Starting point is 00:42:37 Lions, I don't think, I don't think Aaron Rodgers likes playing football. You want to know what I had highlighted here is my big question of the day. Yeah. Does Aaron Rodgers love football? Yes. He, he has the worst body language I've ever seen. And I know I'm obviously biased and I know Packers fans would be like, shut up, big cat. That's fine. But deep down you have to ask yourself is something up because he looks miserable playing football. The first half he was missing wide open guys. He was throwing guys too long, too short, all over the place. So I have two theories. You can tell me PFT, which one you want to hear one or two. We'll open up the doors. Let's go to okay. I think Danica's crystals have to have them fucked up. Okay. Yeah. That's fair. That was my
Starting point is 00:43:22 theory. Danica's got the crystals all fucked up. My theory was just that he's being held hostage. Yeah. I used to say that he looked like he was on like a bad date when he was next to Matt LaFleur and they'd just be staring straight forward next to each other. I actually think that he's being held hostage by somebody in Green Bay. Yes. My other theory is that he is intimidated by Danica's celebrity and you saw that they bought like a 30 million dollar mansion straight cash that is. That's a classic. Like you're doing that to impress your girlfriend. You know, like you, I mean, everyone's been there. You're like, fine, I'll buy this 30 million dollar, you know, mansion because I want you to think I'm a baller. Yeah. If you're dating
Starting point is 00:44:01 somebody that's not a rich celebrity, I think you probably just end up buying a 10 million dollar mansion. It's, but you have to step it up because Danica is used to a certain lifestyle. Right. And you have to show off to her that you're worth it. So it's basically the common man like move of taking a girl you maybe have seen like once or twice out to a really fancy steak dinner or nice dinner and then putting it all on your credit card because you can't actually afford it. Yes. So like that's what he did with a 30 million dollar mansion. So the question, I think there's another question we have to ask dovetailing off that is Aaron Rodgers broke. Is that maybe why he's upset because he's spent all his money trying to entertain Danica all
Starting point is 00:44:39 the time. Can't keep up. I think Aaron Rodgers is upset because he's worried about bills. Listen, he would be the most hilarious unexpected athlete to end up on the 30 for 30 broke. Yes, he would. I would. Oh my God. In all seriousness, he does not look happy. And I know that that really doesn't mean a lot, but something seems off. And half the time he makes throws where I think he's trying to look cool. It looks like he's Funko Rico like just getting in the back backyard and being like here, I can sling this and his all his footwork and everything gets fucked up because he's just basically trying to look as casual as possible. Well, when I first noticed that that Rodgers was starting to decline a little bit a couple years
Starting point is 00:45:20 ago, he stopped doing those back shoulder throws that he was so good at all the time. He would be good for maybe four or five of those a game, which were unguardable. Like to Jordy Nelson. Yeah, he hit him for 30 yards down the field and you couldn't stop it. Now his under throws are unintentional. Yeah. So he's actually throwing into the defender that's trailing his his wide receiver. So yeah, I don't know what's going on. He he looks like I'm yeah, I'm going to go with the fact that he's broke because if you remember over the last couple years, all we ever talked about with Aaron Rodgers was what he would always mention his next contract, right? Right. He would talk about how much money he's going to get paid when he sees a guy out there. I don't know who the one
Starting point is 00:45:57 maybe is Russell Wilson. I got paid right before him. Yes. But every time a quarterback got paid, Aaron Rodgers would always say something. It's all coming together. Hold on. Aaron Rodgers thing. Yeah. One more thing for you. The Packers just did the move. And of course, you're going to tell me, oh, big cat, it's a salary cap maneuver. They just converted some of his next year's salary into signing bonus. He's like, yo, I need the cash right now. He's like, I need an advance. Yes. Aaron Rodgers, he's going to be doing commercials for JG Wentworth. Yes. I have a structured settlement and I need cash now. Coles call up Aaron Rodgers. He will do as many commercials as you want. He's been doing more commercials. Listen. Yeah. He's broke. Fuck. Aaron, if you need some cash,
Starting point is 00:46:36 I'm your owner. I can make something happen. We can grease the wheels a little bit. As for this game, the Packers looked terrible in the first half. They obviously came back in one. They're not good, but they're going to fucking go to the Super Bowl. I just feel it in my bones. I just know it. I know they don't have the one seat anymore, but they're going to win ugly games and I'm going to sit there screaming. We're going to be in Miami and like the Packers are not good and a bunch of Packers fans are going to be at our live radio shows just screaming at me. I'm like, you guys aren't good. Just admit it. And then they're going to somehow they're all I'm hoping for now is that the Packers lose by 50 to the Ravens of the Super Bowl. That's
Starting point is 00:47:16 really all I have left. I also think that there's a chance Aaron Rodgers might be a witch because every time he comes up with those little end of season sayings, it always works. So he says, run the table when he invents that they run the table when he says, R E L A X. He invents the word relax. His team relaxes and they end up winning this year. He said, we have to win ugly and that's all that they've done. They've won extremely ugly, including like it into happening. A beard that is making him look like he's Will Ferrell in Anchorman when he got fired. Like he looks. He's in a glass case. Yeah, he doesn't look healthy. I'm gonna say it. He looks like he has scurvy a little bit, but whatever. Packers are 11 and three. There's a two seed. I know blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm a
Starting point is 00:47:54 hater. I get it. Whatever. You guys are going to go to Super Bowl. I've resigned myself to that fact. I just know it. You're going to go to they're going to go. They're 13 and three, but they're going to go to San Francisco. Yeah, they're going to go to San Francisco, who they got absolutely pasted by whatever it was two months ago, and they're going to win the Chargers beat them in California. I think they're going to win 17 to 16 against the 49ers somehow. Somehow it's going to happen. I think it could happen. If that happens, then Aaron Rodgers, you owe me $2 million that you don't have. Now, if it was going through Lambo, then I would say that it's very likely that the Packers make the Super Bowl somehow. No, this is what they want you to think. You would
Starting point is 00:48:32 have been on the other side. Yeah, exactly. I went as soon as the 49ers won. I was like, oh, sigh of relief. The Packers don't have the one seed. And then I realized that's exactly in line with everything they've done this season where you're like, oh, that's it. It's over. They got to go on the road to win the NFC championship game and they'll fucking do it. So the second I saw Lions fans saying they were going to win this game is the minute I knew they were going to lose. Yeah, there was a time where it looked like they had the game in control and they probably played a better game than the Packers did overall. David Blau looks good. Caught a touchdown. He looks, you know what? He's got Moxie now. He does. He's on the Dolphin meter. Yeah. But the second that
Starting point is 00:49:11 they got really, they allowed themselves like a little glimmer of hope being like, this is our game and we're going to win it. We're finally going to beat the Packers. We're going to show them who's boss. I knew it was over at that point because that's, that's the instant for Detroit fans because they say, and God bless Detroit Lions fans because I feel your pain as recovering our words fan. You have to, you have to expect the worst always because the worst happens. You whether it's from the refs or whether it's from the rulebook or whether it's from your players retiring too early because Martha fader drove them out of the league. You have to expect the worst. But then the second that you always let them back in just a tiny amount and then they shut
Starting point is 00:49:49 the door on your face. Right. Right. Don and super fan when I sat with them and they were, they were calculating ways to get into the playoffs and Aaron Rodgers ripped their heart clean out of their chest. Here's something good about the Lions. Statistically, they have the best win percentage for any three win team in the history of the NFL because they're tied because they have a tie. There you go. So the goat, what's it they have? They are picking for third third. They're okay. That's Oh, you know what? Yeah, third. Oh, okay. Well, it's not like it's a two, two player draft or anything. No. Yeah, you're good. You'll get to a I'm sure that'll work out well for you. You'll get to a and he'll retire before he even plays.
Starting point is 00:50:29 All right. Let's go to by the way, if you want to watch us barstoolgold.com slash PMT, you can watch us barstoolgold.com slash PMT Brown's bangles, the battle of Ohio. We kind of got it kind of got like stolen from us. The fact that they fired Freddie kitchens because we I wanted to make one last round of Freddie kitchens jokes and then him getting fired has ruined it because I wanted to be like there was a report before the game that Freddie kitchens was on the hot seat and they were going to wait and see how the Bengals game went. So basically like if he can beat the one win Bengals will keep him and if he can't will fire him, which is incredible that that would actually be the case. But he got fired so fast and now we're left being
Starting point is 00:51:14 like man, I kind of I kind of miss him already. Well, Freddie was he was a harmless enough guy. Yeah, he was. Yeah, he's a guy that you wanted to succeed, but you also knew he had no chance in hell of succeeding. After just a couple of weeks, he was in way way over his head. Did you see his quote from last week? I think we was in the middle of like us being out for Christmas. He had a quote that if the Bengals lost didn't get him fired, this was what got him fired. He said we don't draw plays to beat the other team. We play football. That's what we want to be. We want to be a football team. We don't want to be the designer of plays. I'm pretty sure if you're an offensive coordinator, if you're coaching that side of the ball, you want to draw plays that can
Starting point is 00:51:58 beat the other team. Well, first of all, put some respect on Freddie kitchens name because as a coach of the Cleveland Browns, he has the highest winning percentage in the history of this franchise. True, true, true. They came back to the league. So Freddie kitchens, they might put a statue up for him because he did win more than well, with the exception of Greg Williams, yeah, interim coach, but that doesn't count doesn't count. But everybody else, you look back at Rod Chaginski. Yep, you look at Mike Petten. He was a coach there for two years. You look at Hugh Hugh. Hugh was there for two years. So he was there for longer. Yeah, but he was he's he's stuck around after going on 16. So yeah, Freddie's out and now Haslam is leading a new coaching
Starting point is 00:52:40 search out of prediction for this one. So we're playing musical coaches at this point. Right. So I think it's going to be McCarthy. Yes, because he looks like McCarthy looks like a Cleveland coach. Well, and they have the Dorsey connection. They got the Dorsey connection. But more importantly, he just looks like a Cleveland type of guy. Yes, like if Freddie kitchens got a makeover and became slightly more professional, right, that's what you have when you get a Mike McCarthy. If Freddie kitchens got a haircut and skip dinner, yeah, he'd be Mike McCarthy. If he went on Queer Eye for the straight guys, then he becomes Mike McCarthy. The whole Brown season. So sad. The fact that the stat that Baker Mayfield was the first Browns quarterback to start all 16 games
Starting point is 00:53:23 in 18 years. That's insane. That's crazy. That's insane. I don't. I the best thing I could say is maybe people will start believing in the Browns come next year and you'll get a little hype. But I don't think you want the hype. I think if you're the Browns and it's going to really be bad, there's going to really be bad when I say this. But not only was the season just terrible for the Browns, Lamar Jackson is incredible. And the Ravens look like they're set up for a while now. Joe Burrow is going to be the quarterback in Cincinnati and Big Ben's coming back. So that sucks. So you might want Greg Williams back if you have to go up against Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson. Yeah, maybe he'll intentionally injure them. Bounty him. Yeah. That's the only
Starting point is 00:54:08 way you're going to win. That's really your only hope right now. Well, I think McCarthy would be a good coach because Baker is good. His wide receivers are very good. His tight end is good. He's got that he needs a tight end. Nijoku didn't even play this year. That was their member Warren Sharp told us that. Well, Nijoku wants to come back if Freddie Kitchens isn't going to be there. Yeah, which I don't really blame for because his his snap count went way down this year. So I think that McCarthy would be as good of a fit as you can hope for in Cleveland because he's competent. But he might be the Panthers coach. He might be the Panthers. Because that seems like that was a good he had a good interview there. And that would be a benefit
Starting point is 00:54:45 to firing your coach in the season. Yes, he's getting his analytics team together right now. And that it seems like Tepper wants a big analytics guy. So if I'm Cleveland, I just I try to throw a lot of money. But this, you know, I've got a conspiracy theory about the Browns that I've been marinating on for the last five years. Okay, I think that Jimmy Haslam is a fraud owner. I think that he is. Wait, that's not a conspiracy. Well, so he's yes, right. Oh, yeah. Wait, from the FBI. As far as law enforcement. Oh, yeah, he is a bad owner. No, you're right. Like as far as his criminal record, he doesn't actually own the team. He has committed fraud. Yes. I think that he's a shadow owner. He's a puppet owner for in place by the Steelers. Yes, yes, because he was a partial
Starting point is 00:55:27 owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers before he became an owner of the Browns. Yes. So I think that this might be a situation where he got sent to Cleveland. Just make sure that they never become too much of a threat. Yes. To the Steelers. Yes. And he also is the biggest booster for Tennessee football. So Jimmy Haslam. Yeah, I actually don't know if I would. Well, no, I don't think I trade spots even how rich he is. He has the two his two teams stink every year. You wouldn't trade spots to own my life. No. And he's he has to pay so much money every year to try to get Tennessee going. So dumb though that you say that you can't you would not trade spots to be an NFL head coach. If I had Jimmy Ham, the Bengals, you know, if I had Jimmy Haslam's brain, though, like if I had to be Jimmy Haslam.
Starting point is 00:56:09 Oh, yeah. But I mean, I could be myself. I trade spots. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Oh, yeah. He would own the Brown. No, if I was just Jimmy, if you just did like I had to be in Jimmy Haslam's like body and just be as dumb as him and make the mistakes and root for my shitty teams. Right. I'd rather be myself than Jimmy. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Right. Yeah. I don't have to notify probation officer when I cross the lines. Right. Okay. Same page. Andy Dalton. That was nice. He had one last win. That's cool. Shout out, Andy. Yeah. He ran for a touchdown. That was awesome. All right.

Starting point is 00:57:29 the dude wipes guys. I've known them for years. I actually went to UFC fight with them at the United Center like six years ago when they were just selling dude wipes out of their house in the suburbs. So yeah, they're cool guys and clean your ass. That's it. Jets, bills, we don't really have to talk about this except for the fact my AFC Michael Strahan Dark Horse team has to be the Jets because in the last eight games of the season, the AFC East teams Jets six and two, bills four and four, dolphins four and four, Patriots four and four. The season just ran out on the Jets. You can't get mono twice. If it had kept on going, they would have been the AFC East champions like somewhere around week 28. Yeah, in Jerry Jones's dream of having a 25 week NFL
Starting point is 00:58:20 season, that would heavily. Adam Gase is coming back to yeah, firing him. So you know this is going to happen. Yeah, that's exactly what they do to make their predictions. They just look at what teams played well down the stretch in one of the last couple games and then they're everyone's dark horse. My big takeaway was that Matt Barkley is still in the league. Yes. Oh yeah. Still out there throwing big time. Oh yeah. Also the guy that said Dallas is going down that Bill's fan. Yeah. Super fan. He is considering filing a lawsuit against the bills because they're using his video and he feels that he should be compensated for that. Good. So we support him only in America as as we did with Ragnar. Yeah. Of the Minnesota Vikings. I think that I mean you should
Starting point is 00:58:58 pay him for the video that he put out 20 years ago. I love this guy because he as of like three weeks ago at Thanksgiving, I thought he was dead. Like everyone's on saying he's dead and then he just popped up. That video has been he's just drunk, but that video has been being played. No, he actually isn't. He doesn't even drink. That's the craziest part. That's him sober. He was sober in that always. He's sober in that because he was mad because there's a craft beer company in the Buffalo area that's making beer with his likeness and he's pissed because of that too. Okay. Yeah. So people are trying to get on him. He's yeah. He's getting his name and likeness. Yeah. We'll send you a $50 gift card to the Barstow store. You got it. Yeah. So the bills they didn't try.
Starting point is 00:59:37 I'm excited for Saturday when they play against the Texans. We'll get to that in a minute. Bears Vikings. Whatever. Congratulations. You got a kicker now. We swept the Vikings two years in a row. Yeah. No big deal. So classic Kirk Cousins can't win a game against the 500 teams. Yes. Even though he didn't play, I'm still pending this one on him. Yep. And Matt Nagy said after the game for me 2020 starts right now literally the second I walk off this stage. So congrats to Matt Nagy. The Bears have a head coach that can time travel. He's living two days in the future. 2020 literally starts now. He's also a teenager who doesn't understand the word literally. I can't imagine a worse secret power than being able to time travel but only two days in advance.
Starting point is 01:00:20 And it's it's two days in advance to go over your shitty football team and how bad of a season. Yes. He time travels. That's two. That's two days that you could have been watching the double doink video and repeat Matt Nagy. Are you going to improve on that? But he's like when Dwight Shrut is the is the bellhop at the Hell Hotel. That's a dream job. Yeah. It's a dream job. That's Matt Nagy. He's like my dream job is to get a two day jump on going over the corpse that was the 2019 Chicago Bears. And that's all he's going to be doing is just straight up like a dissection of the entire season. Washington. He's not going to do anything productive in those two days. There's no good tape. No. It sucked. The whole season sucked and it's going to be the exact
Starting point is 01:01:00 same team next year. So congrats time traveling coach and we don't have a first round pick. I want to give Kirk Cousins credit in the Minnesota Vikings because Kirk Cousins did beat a five hundred or better team this year. He beat the Eagles because the Eagles finished nine and seven. Yeah. Or did they finish eight. Yeah. They finished eight so Kirk Cousins. Congratulations. Credit where credits do. You did it. You did it. You finally you finally got over that hump. You did it. Oh man. Yeah. And now you have to go to the Superdome right. They're playing against the Saints. Are the Vikings and I don't want to beat up on Vikings fans here but I'd have to imagine I have some friends that are Vikings fans and I talked to them after the game
Starting point is 01:01:38 today. I think this has got to be the least pumped up a fan base has to be for a playoff team. Yeah. To finish the season where they the way they did that Monday night game against Green Bay and then you know they didn't try today so it doesn't really count but to have to go to the Superdome is Dalvin Cook. Is he healthy. I don't know. They're not going to Superdome. Check that. They're not going to the Superdome. Oh wait. Yes they are going. Yes they are. Yes they are. They are going to the Superdome. Because last I saw Dalvin Cook he was he was holding the oxygen mask up to his ear. Yeah. To try to hear the air that was coming out. And the concussion spotter was like got him. Like that's that's one thing that I can't fuck up. I'm pretty sure that
Starting point is 01:02:16 that's a sign. He's on the banana phone. So hopefully I don't know. Hopefully he's better because he's actually a lot of fun to watch. I like Dalvin Cook. But they're going to get. I mean what's Minnesota miracle rematch. What's what's going to be the line in that game. I mean you want to play a game called guess the line. Yeah let's play a game called guess the line. I think it's going to be Saints by six and a half. Oh I would say Saints by seven and a half. Okay. All right. It's Saints Vikings opening line. Let me get my cousin a big mark on this to look it up. What's the line. Oh that's last year's. I was going to say Vikings minus four and a half. Wow. Oh I actually nailed it. Seven and a half. Okay. Didn't cheat. Seven and a half.
Starting point is 01:02:59 The Saints are going to kill the Saints. The Saints might be the hottest team going into the playoffs. Actually it's perfect because of the next team on our list. They might be the hottest team going to the playoffs. I mean they lost that game against 49ers but they're playing well obviously the Ravens are but the Saints are in the NFC playing fucking awesome football. My big question is is Antonio Brown going to get a Super Bowl run if they win one. How about him not passing the simple test. Don't bring an entire film crew. Yeah don't spend a lot of money on this flight over here for a workout. He was like no I'm going to spend the money. Yeah oh I'm going to bring the film crew. I spend money to make money. That's
Starting point is 01:03:34 big business. We don't say the P word. He was he brought the entourage though. He brought the whole crew and yeah way to go Antonio Brown. I actually think this was a move by the Saints just to make sure that the Patriots wouldn't get him. Well I also think that Sean Payton likes to do things every now and again just to let everyone know that he's crazy and to say fuck you Goodell. Yeah and that he's capable of literally anything. Right. So he'll do something that's just off the wall insane. So other coaches will be like this guy. I don't know how to game plan for an insane person. Yes. So yeah the Saints killed the Panthers. We'll do just also like this was a celebration game. This was a thank you from the Panthers to the Saints for allowing Dan Quinn
Starting point is 01:04:13 to beat them in that one big pivotal game which probably ensured Dan Quinn coming back for next year. Right. It's like a gentleman's handshake. It was it was that never in doubt and the only thing I would say is I want to just say quickly Christian McCaffrey unreal year lost in the fact that he was on a Panthers team that remember in the Panthers were maybe going to make the play like they were going to sneak in here when it was obviously midseason. So it was a long way to go but that game in Lambo and Kyle Allen drives them all the way down the field doesn't score. I feel like their season ended right there. But Christian McCaffrey is the third player ever to go a thousand a thousand and the crazier stat from Christian McCaffrey 403 touches this year.
Starting point is 01:04:56 Zero loss fumbles. That is nuts. That's nuts. That's like Ben Jarvis Green Ellis level. That's crazy. Also shout out to the Panthers. You kick the field goal when you're down 35. Love it. You got to get you got to get on board. Yeah. You got to you got to do something. Listen. It's called the Pat Schermer newspaper box score play. You want to make sure that if someone wakes up some guy wakes up he didn't watch any NFL someday. He picks up his his paper and he sees the box score. He doesn't want to see a shutout. Yep. You got to take home. Yes. All right. Next up we'll go to the afternoon games. So the one o'clock games were good. The obviously the James and the Patriots were the big stories. But it was all kind of gearing up to the late games. What would happen
Starting point is 01:05:40 because there was a lot more at line. They stacked the deck that way. Yeah. I was wondering why they didn't have the Chargers and the Chiefs play the late game today. It's kind of weird. I think it was. I think they just basically make it so that nothing no game can affect another game like no game. Like they have to all play at the same time when it comes to seeding. Right. So like the Titans and Steelers had to play at the same time. But the Raiders played the right afternoon. You have the Raiders were linked with the OK. So you were linked with your division. We're right. All right. Redskins Cowboys. Jerry Jones watching the Eagles game was so funny and just the disgust Jerry Jones also said after the game. Tell me tell me if you can pick up a theme
Starting point is 01:06:19 from this Jerry Jones quote. OK. I've made changes and I can see myself making a lot of changes in a lot of areas. He was too hot in a lot of areas. The time calls for change. I'm about change. Yeah. Tupac. I think he's going to do some changes. It's time to start making changes. Maybe maybe made a G today. Yeah. Maybe a sleazy way. Maybe selling back to the kids. He's going to get a new office chair. I don't know. Like maybe a bigger monitor for his computer. I have a challenge for you Jerry Jones. Just coach the team. Just coach the Dallas Cowboys. Or have you want to go on coach. You know Jerry Jones wants to coach the team secretly. Not maybe not even secretly. He literally wants to coach. I mean Jason Garrett might just be
Starting point is 01:07:00 calling all the plays that Jerry Jones is radioing in from up in his box. Jerry just coach the team. If I were if I were Jerry Jones I'd coach the team. Why not. Fuck it. You're the owner and the great what Jerry Jones does better than anybody else in this league is he takes full credit for how bad he is at everything. Yeah. So he'll always say after a game that they lose like it starts at the top with me. I'm not going to blame anybody else. He's great at admitting that he sucks at stuff. Well it's the greatest job in the world to have to be able to say I suck. This is terrible. It's my fault. Oh yeah. I can't be fired because I'm the boss. Yeah it'd be. Yeah it's all about accountability here. Yeah right. He finds himself and then he writes a check to himself.
Starting point is 01:07:39 I mean I would do the same thing like hey listen guys. The buck stops here. I screwed up. I messed up. Oh yeah. I'm a billionaire and I can't be fired. Yeah. He just writes himself a check for fifty thousand dollars and then takes it and cashes it and buys a whole shitload of Johnny Walker blue. Jerry Jones coached the team. If you get off to a slow start you can fire yourself at head coach. You've always want to do that. That's like that's the pinnacle of a boss move right there. Yes. Is being so powerful that you're even more powerful than you are. Yes. So fire yourself and then install Jason Witton as your head coach. Oh man. Imagine he would do something like that. Jason Witton the head coach. He's thinking about it. Yeah for sure. I guarantee you
Starting point is 01:08:18 is one one too many Johnny Walker's in a late night meeting at Jason Witton's house and he's going to be the head coach because Jason Witton is a guy that's just he reminds him of better times right. He's around. He's like we were competitive. We weren't that good. No we made the playoffs a couple of times. I think Jason Witton has two wins two playoff wins but still that's the best better than they were better than they are now. Right. And so he sees Jason Witton. He's like that boy that boy can win me a championship. Yeah. I also love that the Cowboys like everyone just keeps saying the most talented team to underachieve like maybe they just weren't that talented. No I think they know they are but they are pretty talented. Yeah but they also kind
Starting point is 01:08:54 of suck. Yeah. You know what I mean. Like it's yeah they put up big numbers against bad teams but the mark of a good team and of talent is to win a big game against a good opponent and they just didn't. So are we sure. Are we sure they're talented. We're sure they're talented. They're talented but they're not good. That's that's where their problem lies. Oh man. When you look at all their skill positions and their offensive line even they have an amazing offense on paper. So I'm going to go with Dak Prescott was just hurt. Yeah. He was injured for the second half of the season. I look forward to Jerry Jones very emotional teary eyed press conference when he fires Jason Garrett because you know he will. He'll get all you know he'll probably do it super
Starting point is 01:09:32 hung over so already have some tears worked in you know when you're so hung over that you're just like wake up crying. Yeah. He'll have that. You wake up crying. No a little tear in your eyes you're like damn this. You want to talk about something. No it's I think that's something that happens when you're so hung over that your eyes are like already bloodshot. Definitely. Yeah. Definitely the bloodshot. You know what happens to me when I'm hung over when I walk outside and the wind hits my face the first time. I look like no Sean Moreno during the star spending. Yes. Yes. So that's going to be Jerry Jones either Monday Tuesday. I don't know he'll he'll figure out a way he'll actually probably fire Jason Garrett like three o'clock
Starting point is 01:10:07 on Saturday right before the playoffs starts so we can talk about that. I think that Jerry Jones doesn't know what he's going to do with Jason Garrett. I think that he's going to have his press conference to sleep on it. He's going to sleep on it and he's still not going to know and he's going to open his mouth and then whatever comes out of his mouth at that time is his decision. He doesn't jury. He's not a big planner. You don't have to be a big planner when you're that rich. No. All right. Raiders Broncos. Vic Fangio. He was asked about Drew Lock being four and one. He corrected them saying the Broncos are four and one. Also Vic Fangio. Do we have to take his football guy card because he got a little emotional Vic Fangio over the week. He said
Starting point is 01:10:46 that he watches Hallmark movies. He watched Christmas Under the Stars on Christmas Eve because he wanted to feel all Christmasy and he said quote I'd rather I'd rather a chick flick than a shoot him up blow him up movie. Vic Fangio is he. He's firmly in the does he have a heart. He's well you know he just loves Christmas movies. He's he wants to flip. So he solved the die hard Christmas movie riddle once and for all. Yeah. Resolved to never discuss again. Doesn't want it. But no he's like your grandfather. Your grandfather he has his programs that he likes to watch his stories around Christmas time. He's probably seen all those movies a hundred times. He doesn't like new stuff. Yeah. So every Christmas he just sits down parks his ass in front of the TV and watches
Starting point is 01:11:26 Christmas vacation and white Christmas like six times in a row and he just feels good about it. Right. I don't I don't hate that actually from if you're going to have a defensive certainly coach I kind of like a little heart. I kind of like the fact that he's got a softer side. Well you know it's a big deal because I think I saw that quote a hundred times on Twitter because everyone's like can you believe this. Vic Fangio said what is like it is like one of those TMZ like hey like the Cardat guess that Kardashian ass and it's like what you know Vic Fangio said what he likes Christmas movies. He yeah he probably has doctors orders to not watch shoot him up movies. I imagine that triggers his blood pressure. It's true. He yeah if you watch this shoot him up blow him up he
Starting point is 01:12:06 immediately like gets some kind of another kidney stone another kidney stone or he's like yeah his his liver just starts to short circuit. You can't do it. I want to give a shout out to Drew Locke. I've upgraded Drew Locke. He no longer has Moxie so he's played through the Moxie. He now has poise which means that he's good enough to just expect Moxie from him. So I think Drew Locke is going to be the quarterback of the future in Denver. He's definitely you know obviously the second best quarterback in that division pending Phillip Rivers coming back or not. Correct. But Drew Locke is going to be a beast. A beast. I think he's going to be very very beast. I like Drew Locke a lot. How many Pro Bowls. Well Pro Bowls. I mean Andy Dalton made. No no voted Pro Bowl.
Starting point is 01:12:51 Top three quarterback in the AFC. No I'm going to take your original question say he will make he will be in five Pro. Five Pro Bowls. Five Pro Bowls. Damn. Okay. Okay. Drew Locke five time Pro Bowler. I'm sure John L. will fuck it up though. He'll probably try to draft someone else. I've got a little stat here for you. Yeah. This is from Josh Dubo. He's at the AP. He says that Derek Carr lost his 55th game as a starting quarterback this week. The only quarterback to lose more in his first season or in his first six seasons. Guess who it was. Peyton Manning. David Carr. Damn. With 56. I was hoping it was one of those Peyton Manning. The answer is always Peyton Manning. Well the Carr brothers are the opposite of the Manning
Starting point is 01:13:40 brothers. Shout out Peyton Manning by the way for just being having such bad statistics his rookie year that you can basically link any bad quarterback to his rookie year and be like you know who also sucked. Yeah Manning. No he made a lot of people a lot of money based off great. It's great. It was a very nice thing. He it's like a he paid it forward for for future generations the NFL. But yeah the Carr brothers are officially now the reverse Manning brothers. I love it. I love it. A total of a hundred and eleven losses combined in their first six seasons and oh they've got a brother that intercepts cosmetic problems for their wives too. Oh yeah. So that's also a little Manning. The. Yeah that's true. That's actually a good point. It's a perfect Manning. Yeah they're
Starting point is 01:14:21 the shadow. Yeah he takes mascara upside down world. Peyton takes HGA. Yeah. The Raiders the weirdest team to still be mathematically alive in week 17. Fun fact the Raiders are technically still alive to make the playoffs somehow. Yeah. If the Titans just don't show up if they yeah if they all contract one flu. Yeah I think the Raiders do. So that's gonna be weird. The alternate team say something nice about the Raiders. The Death Star football stadium. Now I get it. That's why you're going to Vegas. That fucking stadium is awesome. I mean it's you got to actually put a good team in it. But in terms of intimidation factor just by driving up 10 out of 10. At what point in the offseason do they start to move to Las Vegas. Do the players start to move there. I think Gruden's
Starting point is 01:15:05 already there. I know. Mark Davis is already in the fucking P.F. Chang's at like the Cosmo. He's got his own seat there. Yeah. Yeah. He's been there. All right. Cardinals Rams. Kyler Murray maybe offensive rookie of the year either him or Jacobs. I don't know. It's such a sad debate that we're having for this award. It really it shouldn't go to anybody but you'd know that it's it's off to a bad start when people are lobbying for it openly. Yeah. So Kyler Murray and the Cardinals put out a bunch of graphics his agency saying his agent also put out his own separate four year consideration thing saying like he's one of five quarterbacks to do X Y and Z. He was good. He was very good. He was good. But there was nobody. Josh
Starting point is 01:15:47 Jacobs I think was going to win it hands down. Right. Right. But Kyler Murray I think you have to say like he's pretty he's he's good. Yeah. It's a good season. I don't know. Both these teams. I don't know what to expect out of them going forward. Like the Rams are at a crossroads. I think McPhays even said that like coaching. They probably got to cash in. They probably got to trade some pieces to get some draft capital back and then the Cardinals. I think they're good. But it's always weird to watch teams like the Cardinals where they're bad enough that they can sneak up on teams. So if they ever get good can they be like good when teams expect it. I hope they get you know what I mean. Just so that they can drive Matthew Barry insane because he's
Starting point is 01:16:27 still going nuts. Oh yeah. From how the team Twitter account rubbed his face in the David Johnson usage rate back in like Week 12. Kenyan Drake's gonna get paid. He's a free agent. Yeah. That was awesome for him. Big turn around. Yes. Huge. Huge. Good job. But yeah I don't know what else to say about the cars. I think that Cliff Kingsbury is a decent coach. Right. But I don't there's nothing that he did this year that was really game changing. You everyone expected him to come into the league and revolutionize or like add new wrinkles and it was just kind of same old same and they all always like the Cardinals always were in those frisky games. Either they were in the frisky games or they're down so much that they could just throw the ball. You
Starting point is 01:17:02 know what I mean. Like they when they actually do get good will they be able to be good when they actually have to like people expect it and teams expect it. They were just bad enough where they could sneak under the radar and get. I think they got what six wins five wins. We're like OK. Sure. They played some games. They were frisky at times. I don't know. I don't know what else to say about the Cardinals. They're frisky. Yeah they won five games. They won five 10 and one. That's a perfect frisky level. Yeah. Not not bad. Not great. As good as you can hope for out of a rookie quarterback in the state of Arizona. And so and so goes the worst segment that's ever been done about the Arizona Cardinals. Let's talk about the court. You said
Starting point is 01:17:43 nothing for two minutes. I'll say something. Larry Fitzgerald's ass is still thick. Oh I'll say something. Somewhat controversial. I don't think Larry Fitzgerald should have been in the top 100. Wow. So Larry gets a lot of credit because he played very nice. He's very nice and he's very polite to the media when it comes to his father. He told his father let's have some respect for the biz and turn your cell phone off when you're interviewing me. But yeah he's always been like a fan favorite. He's been a media darling and he's got a big ass. So people love him. Who are the wide receivers that were in the top 100. I'm sorry but I'm just going to say it and I'll stick by it. I don't even know who's in the top 100. Let me see. I'm looking I'm looking I'm looking
Starting point is 01:18:31 I'm looking I'm looking I'm looking I'm looking I'm looking I'm looking I'm looking I'm looking I disagree. I think that's a trash take. Larry Fitzgerald is a good wide receiver. Very good wide receiver. I don't I don't think T.O. made it. T.O. is better than Larry Fitzgerald. I'm sure someone will show me numbers. I watched both guys play. I put T.O. in there. I hope that one Cardinals fan that you take screenshots of church. Yeah. I mean I'm sorry. I'm just saying he's a very good wide receiver. They did a top 150. He'd be in there. I think T.O. should be in there. Disagree. Okay. Who would you you don't think T.O. is better. I think Larry is better. Okay. I just T.O. had he had big moments. He had playoff moments. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:19:12 T.O. treated his quarterbacks. He was being to the media. T.O. treated his quarterbacks like Larry Fitzgerald should have treated his quarterbacks. T.O. played for some for some pretty good passers and he acted like they were all Drew Stanton. That's true. All right. Do your ad. I'm going to look up T.O. stats real quick. I'm going to do my ad. Do your ad. I'm going to do my ad and we're talking about Indio. That was a that was a take that I just literally just threw out there that I have nothing to back it up and I hope fellas and ladies here's an ad coming right down the pipeline for you. I have to get ready for some weddings this spring. That's right. Your boy P.F.T. has been invited to multiple weddings. Damn friends. Yeah. Friends. Family. You name it. And the one thing
Starting point is 01:19:50 that I need is a new suit. I need a new suit for all these weddings. You know how a new suit makes you feel. It makes you feel awesome especially if it's made to order. If it's made to measure like you get from Indochino it's basically a custom suit. You can get special lapels on there. You can get sweet little inserts.

I can't recommend them enough. I love my Indochino suit. All right. I was right. T.O. No, T.O. was better. T.O. had, he didn't play as many games as Larry Fitzgerald. If you want to go longevity, that's fine. But T.O. had more yards per game. He had
Starting point is 01:21:52 more touchdowns per game. And guess what? I'm going to throw another name out there. And again, this is not against Larry Fitzgerald. He's top 12 wide receivers of all time. Calvin Johnson was better than Larry Fitzgerald. Calvin Johnson didn't make the top. I agree with that. Okay. So there we go. Yeah. I think Calvin Johnson should have made. Calvin Johnson and T.O. were better. You know what? The NFL should have, they should have waited to the off season to get us mad at lists. Yes. Now is not the time for me to get mad at a list. I agree. That's March, April, May season right there. So stupid. Save it for the summertime. Like this is a perfect middle of June. I should be mad. And I would have done my research and been like, all right,
Starting point is 01:22:27 here's why. I just did that off the cuff there. But I believe that. So maybe, you know what, Liam? Write this down. In June, let's do a very relevant thing. Let's go over the top 100 list and break it down. We'll do a whole podcast. That's fair. That's the list season. NFL. That was a major baseball move. No, we're going to do that. We're going to do a literally a breakdown of the NFL 100 on a Friday afternoon in late June. And we're going to get real pissed off about it. We're going to be ready with their arguments here. Get ready, everyone. We might even have Rich Eisencawlin. I don't know if you saw, but he hosted it. I saw that. And that's another thing. They do the show where they've got like Tom Brady, Brett Farve, Belichick all sitting down,
Starting point is 01:23:06 like opening up about some of the players that they coached and coached against. And it gets lost in the wash because guess what? I'm busy worrying about getting my bed in for Thursday Night Football. There's bowl games on. There's so much football going on right now. I saw some clips. I was like, shit, I want to watch this. Bill Belichick talking about football is awesome. And they threw it in there in the middle of all the live football. You fucked up. Big time. You fucked up. You're just starting the bi-week. I was going to say, even do this before the Super Bowl, the week before the Super Bowl. All right, we're mad. Leading into the pro. Now you got us mad about being mad about. I'm mad because I'm not able to get sufficiently mad enough about your list.
Starting point is 01:23:42 Damn. You fucked it up. Damn. Okay. Next up, Eagles Giants. Eagles, NFC East Champions, and they continue the trend. 15 consecutive seasons. The NFC Champion, NFC East Champion did not repeat. That's insane. NFC Beast. We beat each other up. That's insane. Also considering the fact that there's three Super Bowls in that 15 years out of the NFC East. So it's crazy that that has happened yet again. I don't know how the Eagles did it this year. This is one of those, like the Eagles aren't going to go far in the playoffs, but they need to get some type of an award where the way they kept this team together. Carson Wentz deserves all the credit. Doug Peterson deserves all the credit. I was looking through it. Opening day, the week one, Carson Wentz's weapons were Darren
Starting point is 01:24:31 Sprouls, Jordan Howard, Deshaun Jackson, Zach Ertz, Alshon Jeffrey, Nelson Aguilar. Week 17, with the division on the line, his weapons were Dallas Goddard, Greg Ward, Deontay Burnett, Josh Perkins, Boston Scott, Miles Sanders. It's crazy that he threw for 4,000 yards, throwing two, literally is every single wide receiver he was throwing to week one, and then throw in Zach Ertz, who didn't play this week. He's throwing this completely different receiving court. I also think Zach Ertz, like he broke a rib. I think his kidney got fucked up. Yeah. Yeah. He might have had to have his rib removed. I'll let Marilyn Manson, Nick Foles, that's a guy that could probably suck his own dick without having the rib removal. But yeah, the weapons are
Starting point is 01:25:13 totally gone. Deshaun Jackson, they keep saying that Deshaun Jackson is going to come back eventually. I feel like Deshaun was just like, I want to live in Philly and get paid, but I don't really want to play this year. I saw the report. It's if they get to the second round, he's going to come back. Okay. So he can't come. He's not going to come back this week. But seriously, the Eagles, they get a home playoff game and what they did this year, keeping it all together. Carson Wentz. I said this last week, but I'll repeat it. Anyone who's been there and been like a true blue Carson Wentz guy, you deserve the victory lap for this season because he threw for 4,000 yards to absolutely no one. He played 16 games, which everyone was talking about the
Starting point is 01:25:53 health. He wins them the NFC East with like a bunch of band-aids and gauze and he beat that. So that's the big thing is now he's got one up on him. 4,000 yards passing first time in Eagles history. Again, the bears the only team that hasn't done that. At one point today, there was a line to get into the blue medical tent on the sidelines. That's how bad it was. That's how bad the injuries were. They were like waiting in line to see a doctor. Yeah, it's not funny, but it is funny. The fact that like every single Eagles player gets hurt. Yeah, it's crazy. So I don't really give them that much. Although we talked about it going west to east for the Seahawks, but credit to them because they somehow won the NFC East in a season.
Starting point is 01:26:35 You know how like there's never like moral victories if your season ends on a loss and you're going to maybe lose in the wild card round. I think if you're an Eagles fan and you watch this season, you're okay. And this is obviously because of the Super Bowl a couple of years ago, but you're okay with how the season went, even if you lose on Sunday. I'm very much looking forward to the offseason takes when the Eagles don't fire their medical staff for all the Eagles fans to be like, what are we doing? Because they're going to keep the staff around. I think it's injury luck. Sometimes just shit happens. Doug Peterson might have played himself into an eight and eight contract extension. I don't know if they extended they probably extended them after the Super Bowl.
Starting point is 01:27:09 But yeah, somebody do the math on this where you look at all the percentages of times that Doug Peterson goes for it on fourth down and see how many extra plays his offensive players have had to run over the last couple of years. And maybe that's all the wear and tear on them. They need to do more load management by punting. This is like the Tom Tom Debedo when the when the when he would play the starter, he played Joachim Noah like 44 minutes in the middle of February. Yeah, and they just all break down. Yeah, like, yeah, that actually like maybe you shouldn't do that. The math nerds didn't figure that one out when you're looking at their win probability. Yeah. The Giants, I don't know, DJ. DJ is your guy. He fumbles so much. Skip Ales is calling him Danny
Starting point is 01:27:47 Pennies. I said Danny Dimes. So King Stay Kings. I really wish they'd let Eli in for that last drive. Eli in the rain. He looks so sad. So sad. He I just wanted his wife to go down on the sidelines and smooch him like in the notebook. Yeah, just make out with him like straight up tongue kissing. He's he's entering his second like adolescence. He was playing flip cup earlier this week. Yes. I want to see him doing a sloppy make out with maybe a ludicrous song, the usher. Yeah, song playing in the background. Like it's a basement dance party back in the windows to the wall. Yeah, play some Yang Yang twins off my ball. Just show Eli Manning dry humping on the sideline. Yeah, it's just sweaty as hell. Yeah, it's the shirt untucked. So everyone should read this
Starting point is 01:28:29 article. I think it was an ESPN Ian O'Connor, I think wrote about it. He did like a thing about Eli and Eli is one of those guys who I don't think anyone will ever fully appreciate it because appreciate him outside of Giants fans reading it. He's just a fucking awesome guy. Like and I hate the mannings, but Eli, you know, there was an anecdote that every single away game he had someone in the in the building would like get him a 12 pack that he could share with his offensive line on the bus ride to the plane. Yeah, he didn't. He's a white collar, Wade Boggs. Yeah, he literally did not. Yeah, he exactly. He just said just one or two responsible drinking. He doesn't read the press to the point and everyone always like all the pro athletes like, Oh, yeah,
Starting point is 01:29:14 I don't read the press. He didn't read the press to the point that his dad Archie had to tell him when he had like issues in the locker room. He had to be like, Hey, Eli, Odell said this, maybe heads up. He was that's how he's not aloof, but like kind of aloof. Yeah, kind of, but in a good way and in an endearing way. So I I'm going to miss Eli and he deserves credit for being having a hilarious career where he was remarkably average and then reached points of just insane heights at two different levels. He always did seem like a good guy. One thing I want to address directly to the people at the Red Zone Channel. Yeah. More specifically, Andrew Siciliano, don't tell me when something is about to become a meme. Yeah, during a show. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:29:58 he did a cut in to Eli Manning today where he was like, and it looks folks, this is going to be a meme. And it was just a shot of Eli on the sideline, like getting rained on. He wasn't even making the manning face. They need to the Red Zone, both Siciliano and Scott Hanson, who I love, by the way, I love you guys. I they need to take gambling training because spread zone even in we even in week 17, they were fucking up so bad. We I didn't even see the end of the Broncos Raiders game when the Raiders were driving to score the Bears Vikings game. The Bears were minus three and they had first and goal on the eight down to like if they score there, they cover the spread. So it was just someone has to teach them. I'm sick of them talking about especially in week 17. Why don't you
Starting point is 01:30:44 have fantasy? Why don't you be the change you want to see in the world? I write a doc like I'll write like a whole handbook form a handbook. I was I was gonna say just tweet at him. Yeah, no, I have and as it's happening. Maybe we'll have him on again and just educate them. We'll put them through gambling training camp. Yeah, I should have. Next year, I'll record every single read. I should have. Damn it. Record all the times they fucked up. No, just recording all the Red Zones just to play it like a late at night and like, you know, April. Yeah. Well, I wish I had done that. You know, we just pull up week 12. You're like, Yeah, I'm just gonna do the witching hour from week 12 again. The worst part about being a broadcaster on the Red Zone channel is
Starting point is 01:31:25 you don't ever get to watch the Red Zone. Yeah, so you don't get to see what it's like on the other side of the screen. They didn't watch tape. They need to go back every week. Yeah, Matt Nagy spent two days. Yeah, reviewing their performance, get into time travel. All right, Colts Jaguars. We're wrapping up here. It's American Ninja Warrior portion of the evening. It is things are starting to get weird. Doug Morone may be fired, could be fired, is fired, not fired. Schrodinger's coach. I don't know. They might have saved the job. Yeah, they're feisty. Yeah. And I honestly, the Colts, the only thing I could say for the Colts is someone needs to start the rumor that Andrew Luck's coming back because what we thought the Colts were when we're like, Oh man, can you
Starting point is 01:32:04 believe the Colts holding it all together? That did not pan out. They did not hold together. No, I think that the Jaguars are going to clean house. I think everyone's going to be gone because they fired Coughlin two weeks ahead of schedule. They I get the feeling that they want to start over all anew. Here's the only thing. Doug Morone strikes me as the type of guy who can get in shotguns office and have an emotional meeting and save his job. He is that type of guy. I wouldn't say emotional. He's from the Bronx. I think he could intimidate him. No, but I think it's got a little he's. Listen, he's a huge Elton job or no, Billy Joel guy. He's got a little, you know, Italian restaurant in him. He's got a little romantic, romantic side
Starting point is 01:32:47 of him. He can get in there. He's going to whoo, Shad Con. Can you just see that report? Like after an emotional eight hour, like Doug Morone will bring some sandwiches. He'll sit there. Way too many sandwiches. He will fight for his job until Shad Con's like, you know what, I have to go to my yacht in the Mediterranean. You know what, you just keep your job. That's fine. I could see Doug Morone walking in their pinstripe suit, double breasted. Tommy Gunn got like a violent. He's got a violin case, but it's actually a violin inside of it. It's actually just a fucking huge party sub. Yeah. Inside his violin case. And he sits down and he goes, it's a your own form, your own form. It's a nice football team. Be a nice soccer team.
Starting point is 01:33:28 Be ashamed of something I haven't done. Wouldn't wouldn't want, you know, something to happen. You know, someone to, you know, your striker just, you know, trips and falls. No, that's to be real. It's his knee. Real shame. Someone takes a little air out of the ball. You know this about me, but I paint houses. Doug Morone, keep your job. He also, he's a big Shakespeare guy. So he could go in and start just like doing soliloquies from and monologues from a fellow off the top of his head. I just, I just have a feeling. If you got in my head, I'd say he's probably fired, but Doug Morone does strike me. He's a fighter. He strikes me as that guy who will get in a room and he will fight for his job.
Starting point is 01:34:04 And there'll be some crying and some laughing and it will just be a whirlwind. And then boom, he keeps his job. And then if the Jaguar start like one in three, he'll get fired in week five. Well, here's the question. If Doug Morone was fired, would another team hire him immediately? For, for a job? Yes. Maybe not a head coaching job. He could be coordinator. Yeah. I think you'd have that one year period and then maybe get another one. Right. So there's a guy like Ron Rivera, who's going to get another head coaching job immediately. Maybe the Redskins. Maybe the Redskins. Hopefully for you. So it's not Marvin Lewis. That's what I'm hearing is that it's I'm tracking you. I am working with in conjunction
Starting point is 01:34:40 with my dog tracking jets and I've got Dan Snyder's. He's got a block tail number. I'm able to track jet. So I'm all over. Here's what I can report on Dan Snyder's plane activity. He has been going back and forth from Charlotte, North Carolina to the Bahamas, which is where he entered Bahamas. No, he interviews coaches. That's where he took Mike Shanahan like 10 years ago and they both got drunk off Crown Royal and he convinced Mike Shanahan well under the influence of alcohol to be his head coach. Okay. So he's been taking a jet from Charlotte to the Bahamas. I'm sure that they've talked to Ron Rivera. I'm sure that Ron Rivera was on one of those flights. I think Ron Rivera is going to be the next head coach of the audience and I think they're going
Starting point is 01:35:23 to get an actual GM. So we're not going to be doing as much winning off the field now that Bruce Allen's gone. But hopefully we'll get one that knows what they're doing on it. I like it. I like it. All looking up. You know what I'm just doing to myself right now. It's just dawned on me. Like I was talking about the Detroit Lions fans earlier after they convinced themselves that they won't get hurt again and they finally see that little bit of daylight. I'm seeing a little bit of daylight right now and I'm just going to get smashed. Listen. I'm going to get my dick shot in a revolving door. I've been in the revolving door. I mean I'm not this year but I've been in the revolving door the last few years getting a new coach is the most exciting thing you can do if your franchise
Starting point is 01:35:59 stinks. It really is. It's a new you can sell yourself for at least two months that things will be different this time around. I could also see Dan Snyder trying to not miss out on the next Kyle Shanahan or Todd McFay or Matt LaFleur that they had on their staff and just promoting their assistant. I think is our offense. According to a young guy to just being the new head coach and just going after that. Yeah. Just chasing a three year old dream. I like that. All right. Steelers Ravens were wrapping up. Steelers Ravens Ravens are awesome. 14 and two by far the odds on favor to win the Super Bowl. I don't really know. I wouldn't bet against them if I had. Would you take. No. They're my team. Wait. Would you take Ravens versus Field.
Starting point is 01:36:42 No. OK. I don't think I do that. But I would take because the Chiefs can beat them. Yeah. And the 49 but the Ravens are by far the best team in the NFL right now and the team that seems like they have the fewest holes. Yeah. So the Chiefs can beat them in the AFC in the NFC. There are a couple teams that I think I think the Saints could beat them and I think that the 49ers could beat them. OK. So I would not take them against the field. But this was also we'd be remiss to not mention the RG3 Matt Flynn game. Yes. So he got himself. Robert Griffin playing for four quarters and not getting a knee injury is his equivalent of throwing six touchdowns in week 17. I can do it. Yeah. So RG3 congratulations. I'm not made of glass. Maybe earn yourself a contract for Steelers
Starting point is 01:37:25 fans. We had the Christmas Day tweet from Big Ben who has blocked everyone. And it's always funny because I don't I'm not. I don't like to like take ownership over things. But it feels like that's been stolen from us. They're blocked by Big Ben thing. Well yeah. We're on it like five years when it started out. There were I think Florio said that what was going on was that everybody that followed me on Twitter was blocked by Big Ben. Yeah. And then it kind of spread from there. And we've been talking about for a long time. Long time. Now it's like every time he tweets something out it's like wow can you believe that we're blocked by Big Ben. Yeah. Whatever it's been stolen from us. But we don't care. But either way I went on private mode to look at what he
Starting point is 01:38:07 tweeted. He tweeted a hilarious picture that you know you can do that. That's that's a move is just to check up on Big Ben. He treated a hilarious picture of his family where his face was looking larger than ever. And then a note. P.S. he did a P.S. to a picture. P.S. contrary to recent reports out there about my football future and my uncertainty about playing again. I'm working hard and I'm more determined than ever to come back stronger and better than ever next year. So there it is. Steelers fans. You're OK. Big Ben will be back. He will be back. And you know what. If you're Big Ben you saw that defense the way they played. You want to be back because if you just play average football the Steelers win 10 games this year and are in the playoffs. Do you
Starting point is 01:38:50 think that Big Ben's game would be hurt at all if he came back at 315 pounds and played. I don't think that it would. He could maybe then break the record for longest touchdown if they ran like a little Philly special. Yeah. Like the 40. Yeah. He could do that. I was just going to say the longest touchdown time wise because he could just sit back in the pocket for 10 seconds and have the entire team hanging off him. I don't think so. No I think if he could do if he could do yoga if he was 300 plus and yoga. So he had like the flexibility of a sumo wrestler. I actually think he'd be fun. Yeah. Because I mean that his game is basically drop back in the pocket stumble around clumsily for a couple of seconds. Have one player hanging on your shoulder. Yeah. Throw a deep bomb.
Starting point is 01:39:29 And then what we could have is the offensive line carry him down the field like Byron Leftwich except he doesn't have an injury. He's just fat. Just every play. Yeah. Yeah. Just like hey we've got to get Big Ben down there. All right. Wrapping up last game and then we'll do a little college football playoffs and send you on your way. Titans Texans. I'm happy that we're a Derek Henry podcast. Two hundred and eleven yards three touchdowns. Tractor Cito Derek Henry season. What a fucking beast. Rushing record. Red rushing. That sucks by the way that the rushing title used to feel like something. Remember when we were kids it was like who's going to win the rushing title. Well ever since running back by committee started happening. You don't get the high numbers. You
Starting point is 01:40:08 don't get 1900 2000. How many yards did you end up with. I don't know. I guess 16 or something. 16. Yes. Somewhere around the 16 or something. But there were hard yards hard yards hard yards. He finishes runs. Yes. He's in strong and Agent McCarron played and I just any time agent McCarron pops up I just look up the agent sushi place which I didn't notice this until today. Agent McCarron has a sushi place in Tuscaloosa Alabama. Hotbed for sushi. Yep. And it's all catfish. It's called age. Agent. How do you pronounce Asian. But it's Asian. But the J is part of the Asian. Yeah. Yeah. And it's Asian. So in perfect agent McCarron fashion he took the AJ and put it sideways and put in a little script. So it looks like it's Chinese lettering. Oh OK. So he invented
Starting point is 01:41:04 his that's the flair. Yeah that's the flair where you're like is this a is this an Asian restaurant. Oh yeah there's an AJ sideways. I like that's it. He should have just had his ginormous chest tattoo be the logo for his restaurant. Yeah. Look at that. See the AJ. Oh yeah that's nice. It's very classy. So he definitely he definitely has that tattooed somewhere on his body. Have you seen his chest tattoo. Oh yeah. Oh yeah he's in the business tax. Yeah it's crazy. Yeah he and Kevin Durant. Yep. And then we'll finish here with with the slate talking about next weekend wildcard. Wait wait real quick. Yeah. So yeah next week and well yeah I was going to dovetail into that too because the Titans are going to play against the Patriots in Foxboro. Ryan Tannehill as the
Starting point is 01:41:44 quarterback. I'm not I didn't look this up properly but I'm pretty sure that I looked it up well enough to be correct about it. Okay. I think Ryan Tannehill has the best winning percentage of any current starting quarterback against the Patriots with more than two starts. Okay. I didn't look it up well. I agree with that. I think he's four and six and I'm going through in my mind the other quarterbacks in the league that might compare to that. Drew Brees might Drew Brees might be the one might. Yeah that's that sounds right. I think I think Drew Brees might be the only one that has a better career record. So like going batting 400 against the Patriots as a starting quarterback Russell Wilson might be two and one three and one.
Starting point is 01:42:31 No because they don't play enough. They don't. Yeah. He used to play him twice a year and he would win one of those two. Yeah I think I think you might be right. Damn. So he's not going to be afraid of the Patriots. I'm just going through like my brain real quick and yeah there's yeah I don't I Eli but he's not he's not a starter Lamar but he's only got yeah Patrick Holmes is I don't know one and one and two one and two. Yeah. All right. So that was stats by us. Okay. I like it. Yeah. So what you're hearing right now is myself talking my own brain into betting on the Titans. Yeah. So and then the Houston Saturday game. I don't I feel like they're just fucking with us at this point where it's just pencil them in pen pen them in.
Starting point is 01:43:14 Saturday ESPN game that everyone's kind of watching but kind of also doing like a bunch of stuff because they got to get not and talk about the rest of America not talking about us because we'll be watching it but that game is always so funny so bad and it's going to be bad probably I think the bills are going to win but they're going to win an ugly. Yeah. I agree. I don't think that there's a worse home field advantage than in Houston Saturday afternoon wild card weekend. I think the bills are going to dominate. Fuck man. Is there a role that's in in like the Texans official handbook saying that they have to start the most hilarious quarterback week 17 every year. Yes. Because I feel like it's great. It's either an A.J. McCarron T.J. Yates probably
Starting point is 01:43:55 did it a few times. Tom Savage I'm sure started a week 17. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. He did but yeah they're going to get. Yeah. We didn't was definitely a little bit. He is. I don't know. It's probably at his kids high school football games. Damn. I want you know his kids are out of high school in college. Yeah. Brandon Weedon is a free agent. Someone scoop him up. Yeah. Someone scoop him up. OK. Let's do we'll do the full preview on Thursday. Remember we're going to drop that a little early on Thursday. Oh also Saturday night. Oh yeah. After after the what's the late game is going to be Patriots Titans Patriots Titans. If you're in Long Island come out to see if you're on Long Island come out to see pop punk player playing
Starting point is 01:44:39 on Mocays. We played there like two weeks or two months ago. I think it was an awesome time. Yeah. Great time on Long Island Saturday night. January 4th. Come out. Yes. It's very very cheap. Get loaded with us. Scream live updates on what the score of the Patriots game is so I can I can make sure that all my bets are winning at the time on stage. It's going to be a great time. And you know what it is. It's birthday month. Birthday month. What up. And you get us for birthday month Liam jumps in January to what you get us for birthday month. You're not going to bro birthday month. We celebrate the whole month. All right. Let's do college football real quick. So LSU that was awesome. A shit pumping. That was fucking awesome. Seven touchdowns in the first
Starting point is 01:45:24 half from Joe Burrow. No he didn't have seven. Yes. I thought he threw one in the second half. I think he had seven. You know he ran for the last one in the second half. Yes. Seven touchdowns first half. He had a passer rating of 200. I don't know how college football determines pass rating but it was it was 200. That sounds like a lot. It was I said this while the game was going on but it was when you play EA college football and you schedule FC Midwest to absolutely kill them week one so you can get 10 touchdowns and do your you know stat padding for a Heisman. He did that in the fucking semifinal. That was crazy. Yep. So good. Oklahoma's players looked afraid on offense when they were going up against that LSU defense PFT. I want to right now here
Starting point is 01:46:13 now say that Oklahoma deserves a one year ban from the college football playoff. Okay. I'm so sick getting sold on Oklahoma's defense being fixed in this and that one step further. No the entire big 12 done out of your band for the big 12 out. I can't I can't do it. I like I was rooting to Georgia. I was rooting for LSU. I bet on LSU but I still wanted a competitive game because it was a game that I just like. No I wanted it to be. I wanted to be at least like that game was over. We so we're going to New Orleans. We're going to New Orleans for the national championship. I texted you guys seven minutes in the first quarter. I'm like I just booked our hotels in New Orleans because that's how fast it was over. It was one of those games where I was laughing
Starting point is 01:46:55 because it was so out of hand so early. So out of hand. To me I did not want a competitive game. I wanted at least half. I wanted to get worse. I wanted Joe Burrow to throw for 10 touchdowns. I did want Edo to leave him in just because it looked like the funnest thing that he could ever do to be Joe Burrow in that moment where you're playing a video game in real life and in the zone and LSU's backup running back turns out is really good too. Yeah so they're all going to have another two weeks for Edward Jallair to get back. Yeah and Jefferson had four touchdowns in the first half. Randy Moss was in the crowd crying when his son was scoring touchdowns. Someone who's friends with Randy Moss get us hooked up with him so we can interview him on Monday before the national
Starting point is 01:47:34 championship game please. Yes that's our please. I promise you it'll be a good interview. Yeah we're going to be there Sunday through Tuesday. Let's have some fucking beers and that was awesome. The question is is there any way that the Bengals don't take Joe Burrow number one. No could they talk themselves into well you have to do the Bengals. They draft Chase Young because they have to compete against Lamar and Baker. I mean they can because of the Bengals but that would be so stupid. Joe Burrow has so much fucking swag and like cool to him and just he just eats defenses alive and doesn't even smirk. Yeah it's just this steely eyed he's so good baby face and coach. Oh god damn it. I'm so happy for him. So that's going to be that will be the
Starting point is 01:48:16 loudest stadium will ever be in our life. Right. Yeah. I think if Coach Oh New Orleans LSU if Coach Oh wins the national championship in New Orleans he becomes king of Louisiana. Yes. And we might already like the Tiger serves by his side. He might already be as his hand. Yes. All right. The other game Ohio State Clemson. Here's a stat for you PFT. Okay. There have been 17 college football playoff games. 12 of the 17 have been won by Clemson or Alabama. That's insane. That's a pretty impressive stat. That's insane. Clemson won this game. I thought they were dead. Trevor Lawrence when he got the targeting call which was a correct call. Yes. People are mad about it. I understand. I think if you're an Ohio State fan you have.
Starting point is 01:48:58 You'll be mad about other stuff. You should be mad about the fumble because I feel like that was a weird situation where you it just looked like a fumble. I know that when they played it fast it whatever Ohio State you can be mad if you're an Ohio State fan but what Trevor Lawrence did that run the fact that he's never lost. He's insane. The hair flip and Dabbo you know the God the God train was on on full fucking display after his quote was the favor of God was just with us tonight. So God reached down and he said I'm not I'm not the Ohio State University God. Yeah I'm the Clemson University. Also so perfect that they showed Urban Meyer 10 seconds before the interception. I was trying to figure out what the hell was going on with that because it looked like
Starting point is 01:49:42 he was coaching. Yes. Yeah he was on the sideline. Yes. Was he there did Ohio State bring him on the sideline or was he there as a member of the media. I don't know. He looked like he was coaching. He was wearing all black and it was the grim reaper just showed up and boom you lost on the next one. Hands on his knees. Then right after the game was over they ate a bunch of Papa Johns. Yep. As his tradition as his tradition for a losing Ohio State team. No but Clemson deserves all the credit because as much as there were some controversial calls and I understand Ohio State listen Ohio State you also have the national championship against Miami where the flag came out of the fucking stands in that game to keep that game alive. So you yeah that's true. There's
Starting point is 01:50:21 some karma balance. We're taking it back. I was 20 years ago. I'm just saying Warren Sapp was on the field. There's there's there's some karma but you have reason to be upset. I will fully like endorse Ohio State fans being angry making YouTube videos breaking it down. Do it all because you deserve it. There were some suspect calls and of course everyone has the like SEC ACC conspiracy all the money but that is also with all that said is taking away from an unreal performance by Clemson and a team that looked dead and Trevor Lawrence looked like he was going to come out of the game and come out of the semifinal and they came back and were just nails. Imagine saying following the money to explain the fact that Clemson got into the national championship game
Starting point is 01:51:07 instead of Ohio State. Yeah. The Ohio State is a much much bigger issue. I know what they're saying which is the that ESPN owns rights to the ACC. So it's better. This is something like owns big 10 some long game for ESPN to pay off the refs to get Clemson in so that you followed it marginally. Sounds like you fall. So next year the Clemson Wake Forest game is going to have 120,000 viewers instead of 100,000. Yes. Sounds like you got it. Correctly followed. But I'll say this about Ohio State fans. They are probably the most qualified fan base to break down all the officiating errors. Like you said with YouTube videos with message board posts. That's perfect. Ohio State is really, really good at that. They've got swarms of very passionate fans out there. If you think what are
Starting point is 01:51:54 specialties of different fan bases, I think Arkansas at tracking plans. I think LSU at barbecuing animals before games that look like they're Harry Potter. Yep. I think Ohio State putting together a YouTube video with like the background music of loose change, pausing it, showing different angles, different camera angles. It's now your it's your mantle to take over from Michigan fans after that fourth down call two years ago. Yes. So it's on you to represent the big 10 in this and I'm sure that you're up for the challenge. You got it. You got it. Can I do a quick just recap of the bowl games because I watched too many bowl games. I'm in that zone this two week stretch where I just my life just becomes like watching football and really bad
Starting point is 01:52:40 football. So quickly independence ball had 18 punts. It was awesome. 14 nothing Louisiana tech and they had the Shreveport mayor gave like a come to Shreveport and the behind him. It was Grace guys. They could pick any any fucking day. Also, if you've ever been to Shreveport, there's so many better things to highlight in Shreveport. You have like seven casinos. Yeah, you're an hour away from the world's worst strip club in Waco, Texas. Yes. There's a lot of great things about Shreveport, Louisiana that you can highlight and just having like the cityscape. Yes with like an overcast day. You could have done a little bit of Brown River. Yeah, the so yeah, the independence bowl was my favorite random bowl game that you get sucked in watching and
Starting point is 01:53:25 it's so bad it becomes good. 18 punts. The quick lane bowl Eastern Michigan. I love they they all wore mechanic shirts. The coaching staff gave it their all against Pitt. The military bowl UNC Sam Howell is awesome. You didn't even mention how they broke through a center block. Yeah, they do that every game. Yeah, it's awesome. Military Bull Sam Howell is awesome. He is circle him because he's going to be circle like a Heisman guy in a couple. He's a freshman, true freshman. Holiday Bowl USC is soft, softest, soft of all time. I will whoop that ass big 10 tough and they're not firing their head coach at USC. Is that correct? No, they're not. So what's his name? Ari Ari Abraham. He was incorrect. Yeah, he was material change. Wait, was it him or was
Starting point is 01:54:08 it the person from Sports Illustrated? I can't remember. The new like espionation Sports Illustrated person. That game was weird because Slovis got hurt and he's going to be a Heisman guy next year, but he got hurt. So kind of change it. But I I bet Iowa because they don't lose the Hayden Fry just passed away. And also took the you see they took the decal off because that's his decal he created that. Yeah, that was a fucking cool move. Yeah, so I saw them play and I just thought Pittsburgh Steelers. Yeah, yeah, which they he actually when I think they're I think it goes that when he came and took over the Iowa program, he basically created Iowa and what it is. He asked the Steelers if he could use like basically their exact uniform setup. Okay,
Starting point is 01:54:49 to make them look tough. He did the pink locker rooms. Legendary coach passed away. I think like 10 days ago or so. But that was a no brainer. Pinstripe Bowl. Fuck the Pinstripe Bowl. I don't know if you saw Wake Forest in Michigan State scored 41 points in the first half. And the overrunner was 50. And they only scored one touchdown the second time, including Wake Forest trying to let Michigan State score at Michigan State tripped over their own player. Okay, but a big 10-1. So who cares? Cheez-It Bowl was not the same. That's all my bowl recap. Cheez-It Bowl was definitely not the same. This is what happens when you try to capture magic. Right. They don't understand. Yeah, you can't you can't make it happen again. They do this. This is like
Starting point is 01:55:24 the what you're saying with like Cicciano being like, Oh, meme this. That's not how it works. It has to happen organically. The Cheez-It Bowl was actually the Independence Bowl this year. The Independence Bowl had 18 punts and it was so fucking bad. It was awesome to watch. And it's like it happens once it could still happen this week because we have some random bowls. It's got to be a bowl game that no one's excited for that is really bad. And then you get locked in and you feel like you're watching it with like only 200 other people. That's the Cheez-It Bowl magic. It's magic. It develops a community around. Right. Also, one last note about the Ohio State Clemson game. This was a tweet from Eric Sorensen. He's a sports reporter. He said a Clemson student
Starting point is 01:56:05 journalist just told an established Ohio State writer to stop cheering in the press box. That's been the highlight of this night. Oh, yeah. That's the highlight. That's the highlight. That's huge. All right. Let's wrap up again. We're going to be new show on Thursday morning. Yeah. So sorry, Thursday. Sorry. No show Thursday morning. No show Thursday morning. We're going to take New Year's Day off right because we figured we it's weird to do a show on Thursday morning and then a show on Friday morning. So instead, we're going to try to release Friday show on Thursday at like 6 or 7 p.m. So we're going to take it early. Whole preview for the NFL wild card round. Whole recap of Wednesday's bowl games. Wisconsin is going to win the Rose Bowl PFT.
Starting point is 01:56:48 You're locking that up right now. I hope. Okay. I'd like to do an experiment real quick. Just something I thought about earlier today. Yeah. Alexa, download part of my take. Alexa, download part of my take. Alexa, play the best Alexis Texas video you can find. Alexa, go to www.pornhub.com. Love you guys. Wait. Oh, we forgot who's back. Oh, who's back? That was a good ending, though. Yeah. Let's keep this in. Quick who's back real quick. Go. Bubba. Bubba. New Year's resolutions. Yes. Are back. Yes. I feel like big cat. You're always big on them. Yeah. I got one this year. I'm going to go 2020 PFT. You in it with me? 20 push-ups, 20 squats every day. Never changing. People have been saying like, oh, add like five a month. No,
Starting point is 01:57:42 no, no. 2020. That's all we're doing. I like a little variety, though. No, that's all we're doing. We're just getting our, we're getting the base level strength by this time next year. I'll be doing 20 push-ups in like four seconds. I want to have big ass arms. Okay. So will that get me there? Sure. Okay. 20 push-ups a day, 20 squats. I don't know. No, I don't know about that. I want to get the bench press working here. Actually, I had an idea last week. I went to one of these orange theory fitness classes, which is one of these like cult-like fitness experience things where they put a monitor on you. They tell you how many splat points you get. I want to do a different, yeah, splat points. That's nice. It's their proprietary measurement of how fit you get
Starting point is 01:58:23 and how less of a slob you become. Sounds legit. Yeah. So I'm going to do, I want to do a different cult-like fitness experience every month. So whether that's CrossFit, whether that's Pilates, Barry's Bootcamp, I'll do one of those. Like you name, I want some suggestions for different new trendy fitness things for me to try and I'll review them. I'll probably just blog them all. But yeah, I feel like that would be a fun thing to do. So fit. Yeah. And then I also, I'm going to take one, three, every time I play pick up basketball. That's my, that's my new year's resolution. Just take at least one and then maybe take two if I'm hot. I had like kind of a similar, I want to join a men's league softball team. Ooh, I haven't played softball in a while.
Starting point is 01:59:06 Yeah, I'm in. In the Rubik's Cube. Yeah, in the Rubik's Cube. I'm in for the softball league as long as it's like noon on Tuesdays. I'm in. No, I have the yak. Two o'clock on Tuesdays, I'm in. Okay. We'll set up our own league. We'll just get a hoop in the, in the office here. How about this? I just want to drink more water. Yeah, I've always tried to drink more. I want to drink more water and I'm going to say it out loud. Not too much though. Remember Tom Brady almost drowned himself. Right, but I won't get sunburned. Okay. Yeah, that's true. So I'm going to quit smoking. You don't smoke though. I do smoke occasionally. So instead of joling, instead of joling, now I smoke cigarettes now, I want to quit smoking. I'm also going to quit
Starting point is 01:59:50 smoking. Thank you. You and I are going to quit smoking. If you see me in public with a cigarette, same slap it out of my slap big cat in his face, except no, wait, don't do it. No, that's how you're helping me. No, no, I'm going to quit smoking. All right, fine. Then same with then same. You're going to pick up smoking. Yeah, I get slapped. Yeah, deal. Take the slap off. Deal. So don't slap me. Take the slap deal off. Slap big cat. If you see me smoking, slap me. Let's quit smoking together. But not in New Orleans. Doesn't count. Yeah, that's true. Does not count New Orleans or Miami. Yeah, New Orleans, Miami or at the combine or Atlanta. If we go to the final four weeks, a big one, combine. If I'm in Japan for the Olympics, we're going to quit smoking in the city of New
Starting point is 02:00:32 York on weekdays. Yep. There it is. Before 8pm. Yeah. Okay. All right. I was going to say our softball teams. Yeah, it's a tour. So we find out. I was going to say I'm going to have to know yet you got to rip a couple of long darks if you're out with a like a post game drink up with the lads. Do our post. Well, our softball game will be a two. Our post game will be at nine. Yep. Who's your who's back? My who's back of the week is Papa John. Yeah. So Papa John is officially now a Kentucky fan. He has burned his bridges at Louisville. So he's not going to be able to go back on that campus and be the king that he once was then, but you can't keep Papa John out of the national sports discussion. So he's wearing blue shirts. He's sitting like two rows behind
Starting point is 02:01:21 Calipari at home games in Kentucky. He is now a Kentucky superfan. Incredible. Incredible. So what a rebrand. What a rebrand for Papa John the Papa. All right. What do you think his New Year's resolution is like eat 25 pizzas a month? Yeah. He's gonna. Yeah. No, I think he goes more. No, no saying the N word for three days. Yes. Oh, no, no say only say the N word if it's it's quoting someone else who said it, but I also say it so I could quote myself. Yep. That yeah, that's the rule. All right. And kind of similar. My who's back is Kevin Spacey. So not totally similar, but Kevin Spacey made another creepy video on Christmas to just creep us all out. What the hell Kevin Spacey? It was he literally threatened to kill all of us with his kindness.
Starting point is 02:02:01 And then another one of his accusers died. Yeah. Listen, it's fucked up. I think the creepiest part of that video was how he was working that log. Like I don't think Kevin Spacey's ever had to build or maintain a fire before. I'm pretty sure it was a gas fireplace. Yeah. And he was just poking a synthetic law LED screen. He's poking it just stabbing it. And he was in character as Frank Underwood. I'm like I watched that video and needed to take a shower. It was so fucking creepy. So yeah, he's back. I would rather he just appear in character as the dad from American Pie and just like smoke weed in the garage. Yeah, listen to the who. Yeah. And work out. Just do that Kevin Spacey. Oh man, that guy's a creep. All right. Say American Pie.
Starting point is 02:02:42 Even American Beauty. Yeah. Yeah. I've been a way different story if he was American Pie. Yeah, that would very. Yeah, I don't think it would work that way. You'd be getting his dick stuck in other stuff. Yeah. All right. We'll see everyone Thursday. Love you guys. Hey, Mm.
