Welcome to part of my take.
Today is Monday, January 16th.
Super Wild Card Weekend.
What?
Football.
What?
The game we love.
We starred in San Francisco.
Brock Brock, who's there?
Perti.
Perti who?
Perti Perti Good as the Niners took on the Seahawks
with Mr. Irrelevant at the helm.
Everyone thought it would be a blowout
until D.K.
Have a good day.
That's two.
Showed up scoring twice and giving Seattle
a first half lead.
In the second half, San Fran said,
fuck it, let's rock out with our Brock out.
Letting Perti throw it around the yard.
Devo Samuel Cook said,
these D-backs can't stay with me
cause I'm running for TD
and the route was on.
But don't feel bad Seahawks fans.
This season was a success as Wilson,
King of Interceptions had the internet
lay their hate on him
and you're still having fun Seattle.
Niners 41, Seahawks 23.
Down to Devo
where Trevor Lawrence spent the first half
in the depth of Sante's Inferno
throwing four Interceptions
and almost going full Peterbin.
The Kramerose at the top as Austin
Cream Pie Eckler exploded twice
inside the end zone.
Fortunately for the Chargers,
the game is 60 minutes long
and let's go Brandon Staley
picked a terrible time to be conservative
as he'll have plenty of time to watch games
from his basement in the future.
The Chargers' Chargering
is a tale as old as time
and on Saturday night,
they lorentzed and repeat
the same tragic tale as the Jaguars
took a big chug of their Trevorage
full of Michael's secret stuff at halftime
and came back for the shocking win.
The Jaguars are jagging off.
31, Chargers 30.
I always say it was always the Jaguars.
It was always.
In Western New York,
the Bills were playing with an extra pep in their step
as Hamlin continues his demarcable recovery.
The scoring started with Dawson.
I am the one who knocks
as he exploited the Dolphins' defense
with too much speed
and Skyler White Thompson hung around
with way too much screen time
annoying Bills fans all afternoon.
Both teams took their shots back and forth
except for it's no worse than a common coal,
Beasley,
who disobeyed the Dolphins' mandate
to stay out of their end zone.
What ultimately did the Dolphins in
was an inability to understand
Mike Tyson McDaniels
as he called plays in late all afternoon
and their season faded into Bolivia.
No one circles the wagons
like the Buffalo Bills.
Bills 34.
The Dolphins 31.
Over to Minnesota
where Tesla owner Daniel Jones
was trying to quit school
as he was on auto drive all afternoon.
The Giants offense had their
aha moment as
Sequan me,
Sequan me
ran through the television for two touchdowns.
TJ Clarkinson uses two hands
to make every second count
saying watch this
as the Vikings tried to build a win
brick by brick,
a very affordable,
stylish watch brought to you by Dave Portnoy.
Brian, ready, willing, and day ball
was up for anything
as an offense gashed Minnesota all day
leaving Kirk with one last drive.
I'm getting to fourth and eight.
I'm feeling this.
You're throwing it way too short.
I'm feeling this.
Justin is way downfield.
I'm feeling this.
Why did you check down Kirk?
I'm feeling this.
They fell short this time.
Kirk's throw fades to the summer.
Giants 31.
The Jeeven.
Beat the Vikings 24.
We finish in Cincinnati
where the Ravens were up to the task
as J.K. Rowling Dobbins
took the Hogwarts Express
to the end zone
and Baltimore was winning
for the first nine and three quarters of the game
until tragedy struck
as Sam L. Ron Hubbard
leveled up and Tom Cruise
his way to a 99-yard score
changing the entire game.
And then the game came down to one final prayer
as James Crochet
almost needed Baltimore to a win
but the ball bounced right in front of him
and the Bengals survived.
24-17.

music
Hank is making us do this song
and trolling us through the song
he just started playing the song
because he didn't know how to
make us look like a fool
come on Hank
get your head out of this bank
Hank
took the Vikings
he's an idiot
all right
welcome to part of my take
super wild card weekend
almost in the books
we still have Monday Night Football
and I just want to start the show by saying
holy shit that was so much fun
that was a great two days of football
five awesome games
like think about it
we going into this weekend
I think there was all there was a little bit of a vibe like
oh you know a lot of young quarterbacks
first time quarterbacks
you know maybe not the sexiest matchups
besides the second half of Seahawks 49ers
every game delivered
and that game delivered just because there were
Debo Samuel making awesome plays
like that was an incredible weekend of football
I love football
we should just be blessed that we got that
I think no matter who you are
even if you hate football like Max
this was a weekend where you had to just sit down
and appreciate the gift that is the beautiful game
it was so much fun
so we have so much to get to
but we wanted to just respect football first
and say thank you football because
I think you need to have those moments
where you take a step back and be like
you know what
whether your team lost, your team won
your bets lost, your bets won
like I lost a lot of bets
whatever who cares
the football was awesome
sometimes it takes having football taken away from you
for a brief period of time
to really realize how much you truly care for it
those three quarters on Monday Night Football
we missed out on
like about two and a half hours
of potential football
and guess what
it's funny how the universe works
because we're going to get those back
and an extra quarter
next weekend
great divisional round
that's very very exciting
alright so
let's get into every game
because we have five games to get to
we watched all of them
that's the other part about
Wild Card weekend
I mean all the playoffs
Super Wild Card weekend
being able to sit down
and just focus on one game is so awesome
so I was thinking about this today
when we were watching we had three games
back to back to back
which was incredible
what if the NFL scheduled a weekend
that was like that
but the game started at nine
and then we just had games going pretty much nonstop
yeah why not do it Sunday
do Saturday Sunday
so right after college football ends
do Saturday Sunday Monday
yeah start every game at nine
yeah but then we
could have a year up game
you could have a year up game
in the morning
you could even do a Friday night game
yeah the problem with that is that
we say that because these are the best
14 teams remaining
so then we would have to watch
like the Bears play the Texans
and everyone would be like what the fuck is this
I think I just say it because
the NFL has me by my balls
yeah and I will watch whatever they put on my screen
but it is like being able to just soak in
every single game and be able to watch it
and like
see the ebbs and flows
and where the games change is the best
you know what we're giving each team
each game it's proper credit
right and the attention it deserves
exactly so let's start
we'll do chronological order
Niners 41 Seahawks 23
I want to start with our guy Brock Purdy
because I was fighting off the internet
I actually wasn't fighting off the internet
because I just didn't care but
I thought Brock Purdy I was actually
very impressed with his performance
because
that first half he looked bad
he looked pretty bad
especially like the first quarter and a half
when they fell down 10 nothing
he missed a lot of easy throws now
well no they didn't
they didn't fall down 10 nothing
they were up first but yeah
to defend Brock Purdy a little bit
it was wet
yeah it was wet but he was
he looked jittery
he looked like a guy who was
Mr. Relevant who got put on a team
a loaded team
and got in the playoffs
it's like hey go wing it
he was missing guys wide open
it felt like one of those games that
if the Niners had that Brock Purdy
to start a game against maybe
a better defense
that could have been a disaster
that could have been turnovers
that could have been interceptions
so in that moment I was like
he's back to looking like Mr. Relevant
everyone then dunked on me on his second half
he did look bad in the first half
but where I'm giving him credit
I thought the fact that he looked
like that in the first quarter and a half
and then came back and was lights out
like you just
if you're a Niners fan you watch that game
your one worry is Brock Purdy
how's he gonna respond to his first playoff game
not well to start
and then incredible to finish
and now he's got one under his belt
he started 9 for 19
147 yards in one TD
that's a stat line that if you were
just looking at the stat line you're like
oh it wasn't that bad
he was
he missed like wide open guys
he didn't see Debo Samuel on one route
that was like an easy touchdown
but then he finished
9 for 11
185 yards
two touchdowns
he couldn't miss in the second half
yeah I mean the best thing that I can say
about Brock Purdy is I think he would be
a perfectly averaged quarterback
in a system that wasn't Kyle Shanahan's system
yeah I think he's got like his DNA
his makeup is such that I think he can exist
and be a starting quarterback somewhere else
maybe not like super successful right now
who knows what he's gonna grow into
but right now he is like the perfect quarterback
for that team
I don't know like we can look down the line a little bit
and say I don't know how Trey Lance
is gonna come back and take that job
from Brock Purdy
the way that Brock Purdy is playing
he's playing as good as you can possibly hope
I think Brock Purdy is the future for the 49
so the only thing is
what if they got Tom Brady go there next year
if they got Tom Brady
I think that Brock Purdy would probably take a year back
and probably gladly study underneath Tom Brady
and then it's his team
he's like quarterback and waiting at that point
and take over
because remember the Trey Lance pick
after like the smoke cleared and everything came out
it kind of came out that it wasn't Kyle Shanahan's pick
and he got overruled
he actually wanted to take Mack Jones
so like I wouldn't be shocked if Kyle Shanahan's like
hey Brock Purdy's winning games
he just wants to play off game
he is playing very very well
like I said
in the moment at the start of the game
he didn't look great
anyone who would disagree
I would be like what game are you watching
those first
it was like one of the first two drives where he just
it was actually the benefit was
he was so off
they were not interceptable
because he like threw behind his receiver by like
five yards
so it wasn't even close to the interceptable
but the way he finished
I was watching
it was like maybe he is Kurt Warner
he had one where he missed his receiver
and the cornerback high by like seven feet
and so it landed harmlessly
and the camera zoomed in on Purdy's face
and he just didn't even really blink
he was just like hey that's on me
and he didn't get down on himself
he's fun to watch
I officially like Brock Purdy
I think we need to stop talking about him as just being
perfect to that system
I think that Brock Purdy is officially now
he's been upgraded
to not a bad NFL quarterback
and I mean that in like
the global sense
of the starting 32 quarterbacks
yes and he well
he's not a bad starting quarterback
in terms of the totality of the league
while admitting that he is on the best system
because
you know when you get to the playoffs
your big time players making big time plays
Christian McCaffrey going 136
total yards
and a touchdown
and Debo going 165 total yards
and a touchdown
it is
so much fun watching the Niners where they're like
oh let's just get it
to these two guys
and Brandon Ayuk
and George Kittle
and let them just be better than everyone
like that Debo
when he ran for that touchdown
and that Christian McCaffrey
like 60 yard run
whenever it was the
early in the second quarter I want to say
I think it was his first run of the game
yeah you just
you're just reminded like
holy shit the Niners are as loaded as low as can be
but yeah I
I'm a Brock Purdy believer
especially with how he responded
to start of that game
I think he's going to be the quarterback for the Niners
next year
barring like some like Tom Brady
or some other type of catastrophe
I actually went up
went and looked at Brock Purdy's draft
pros and cons
so his pros
were like plus accuracy
quick release
his cons are kind of funny
because a couple of them
are actually like strengths in Kyle Shanahan's system
one of his cons was written as
field vision narrows too often
which like okay
you have the best players in the world on your team
it's okay if you narrow in on Christian McCaffrey
or Debo Samuel
and a lot of times it plays that they call for you in San Francisco
or like you're going to do a pump fake to the left
pump fake to the right
and then here's the option that you're throwing to
and then the slant right over the middle
and then the other one was plays tight few calculated risks
that also is kind of a pro in Kyle Shanahan's office
offense where it's like
if you play in the system
and you don't make the mistakes
if you don't try to be a hero
the system will work for itself
yeah if I was a scout what I would do for like
every quarterback that was projected to fall
to the fifth, sixth round
I would just say like upside
could have a Tom Brady type career in the right environment
yeah and then once every like 30 years
somebody will dig up that scouting report
and you're right about one of the guys
like that turns out to be the best
can you look like a genius
yeah just talk out of both sides of your mouth
it also I was reading some of the quotes after the game
like the way the Niners
players are talking about Brock Purdy
they 100% believe in him
and why wouldn't you
they've won 11 in a row
and I mean so this game
let's talk about the Seahawks
like it was crazy because
I think we all expected the Niners to kill him
and the game was closed
the Seahawks were winning at halftime
the game basically switched
on that one penalty
that the Seahawks took in the red zone
where it was 23-17
with like three minutes left
in the third quarter which is like
if you're the Seahawks you're driving
down six points in the third quarter against the Niners
whenever it was
ten point underdogs
and they get that illegal man down field
on like a seven yard game that would have made it
third and two from like the ten
they back up
Niners get the strip sack and then it was over
and then it was just like okay now the
now the route is over
the strip sack was the one mistake that they could not afford
right and it seemed almost like too easy
that they got to Gino on that one
and I feel a little bit bad for Gino
because he had
a season that he needed like Gino as a person
as a person he needed that
they're probably going to bring him back
I don't see why they wouldn't bring him back
I don't think Pete Carroll wants to try to develop somebody else
new after what he's been through this season
but Gino Smith is worth more to the Seahawks
than he'd be worth for any other
franchise out there so
if you look at the teams that need a quarterback right now
the only one that I would like to see Gino Smith go back to more
I would like to see him go back to the Jets
that would be cool like unfinished business
that'd be fun that'd be very fun and I actually think
that he'd be a good fit on the Jets
no I didn't think Gino
it sucks because it's like Gino
made two big mistakes he had the interception
and the fumble and
it sucks because you'd be like oh Gino
the game ended on that play
because then the Niners went 70 yards
and they went again and it was just over
but Gino played pretty well
it's just that the Niners
are so much better than the Seahawks
he had to play perfect he didn't play perfect
you know what I mean?
it's kind of unfair to be like
their margin for error was so small
like they had to play a perfect game
to be able to beat the Niners and they did for a half
and then that fumble happened
and the Niners defense kind of
figured something out where they didn't let D.K.
Metcalf just run I mean he was incredible
all day but I
like I wouldn't I wouldn't walk away from that
game being like Gino Smith
oh old Gino's back it was more
the Niners are just better than the Seahawks
like offense defense
I think Gino Smith just got good randomly
just late in his career takes people time
I don't think that he's gonna turn back into old Gino
I think he might fade away back into old Gino
eventually just out of sheer age
yeah he might age out of being a quarterback
but I think that he's just good now
that's who he is as for D.K.
here's a fun fun stat
D.K. Metcalf this is a stat from Mike Florio
not our Mike Florio but another guy who's named Michael Florio
which is
that's very weird
in the three wild card round games that
D.K. has played in
seven catches 160 yards for touchdown
five catches 96 yards for two touchdowns
and then 10 catches
136 yards two touchdowns
D.K. is a beast in the playoffs
he's officially a beast yeah and there was actually
kind of a little bit of questions because that
second Niners Seahawks game
he got a little bit bottled up so it was like
can he like are they you know
is the Niners defense too good are they too physical
but no he was awesome he was
Kenneth Walker was good too but he was
he was their offense
I'm gonna see your turning point
and I'm gonna raise you with the dumbass
of the game that was the real turning point
of the game okay the dumbass of the game
was whoever it was on the Seahawks
that grabbed Debo Samuel's leg after they
tackled him oh yeah and then tried to twist
it because yes first of all you don't tug
on Superman's cape spin in the wind
you don't fucking twist a man
named Debo's leg when he's
on the ground and then his entire team
got up and like had his back right after that
that was a turning point that's when the Niners were like
okay we're done playing with the Seahawks
let's just fucking fuck them up
okay so counterpoint to that when I talked
about the Seahawks having to play a perfect
game I think part of their perfect game was
injuring Debo okay but they had to injure
Debo for part of their perfect game to have
then you got to go full injure Debo
you don't like you don't hurt Debo
I wouldn't be shocked if that wasn't part of the
defensive meeting like okay guys like
we got to keep Debo in front of us like
George Kittle's gonna be good over the middle
Christian McCaffrey a weapon and also
if we can figure out a way to get like
one of them out then we could win
well if there's a way that we can figure out to injure
Debo, Kittle, and Christian McCaffrey
and then Brandon Ayuk
and Fred Warner probably
somebody needs to have a knife yeah which one of you guys
wants to have the knife on the field today
I love Brandon Ayuk by the way he's
he's so underrated because he plays
in such like because everyone thinks Debo
Christian, McCaffrey, Kittle
Brandon Ayuk is awesome he had a nice block
on that dime that Brock Purdy
threw to Debo where Debo had
like I don't know 65 yards after the
catch yeah he just hit the burners
yeah okay no one's gonna catch him it was awesome
but yeah whoever Jake can you figure out who that
dumbass of the week was that twisted Debo's
leg he has very stupid super moron
also weather's not real Hank shout out
you you were right I don't know
if you said for this game but you're right yeah
I mean that's it that it was
sunny it was like sunny in the second quarter
that was the most false news of all time
that I think they just did that I think
here's my you know tinfoil
tinfoil hat maybe a little too woke
there was perfect weather everywhere else
and they're like we need to
pay our weather people to like we need
something to fill a little bit of time on the
pregame shows so let's just
make up a huge rainstorm in San Francisco
at the start of the game it was wet
Pete Carroll was wet and that's when I saw
that I was like he's always a little the 49ers
are in trouble because we got a we got a damp
Pete Carroll on our hands and he's a better
coach when he's wet everybody knows that the
gum smacks louder the hair sticks together
he gets to wear one of those slick little rain
coats that he likes his skin looks better
when it rains it glistens and then he
just dried out he just dried out over
the course of the game because I think it stopped
raining entirely in the first quarter yeah yeah a little
peek behind the cordon curtain here I mean I'm not
a meteorologist but one thing
I use to kind of handicap whether or not
whether is real is if the tweets
and videos that people are using come out
like five hours before it's usually not
going to be that weather in five hours
weather changes yeah that's yeah that's
like that's kind of you know that's the little
insider tip for the people out there
it's too early for weather doesn't stay the same
for five hours yeah any forecast that you
make before like an hour before kickoff
is irrelevant there was a big jay that was
the video that was going around that I saw it was a big
jay it was literally six hours before tip off
dude what are we talking about tip off kick off
and it was pouring rain it's like yeah
mm-hmm six hours weather effect
basketball at all yeah yeah winds could
few minutes outside you're shooting wind yeah
it was actually
hard knocks legend Jonathan
Abram
the raiders that's right the guy
Gruden had to be like hey can you please
not hit Derek Carter in walkthroughs
yeah he was like haha okay coach
whatever and Gruden was like no I'm serious please
please don't injure a starting quarter
and he kept on asking people what Salman is
yeah what's Salman we mean Salman yeah
okay so Seahawks
like I know
that losing a playoff game sucks
but you can't judge this season
other than an A plus yeah
they have the fifth pick
and they got rid of Russell Wilson and they went to
they were leading the Niners
who kind of everyone thinks is the best
team in the NFL right now they were leading
them at half yeah and they and they might
have found their guy in Gino who won't be that
expensive and now you can do the same
thing that you did with Russ where it's like
build everything up around Gino yeah I'd say
I'd say solid a yeah if you
want a game I would instead of a plus one
playoff game that's an A plus but you're very
happy with where you are right now especially
considering that most people picked you to win
three games yes yes um last question
so Niners
Max let's have an honest
conversation
the Niners are scary
um
sure yeah yeah no they
are no they are scary scary yeah but
there were there were things that I saw
yesterday that were like we can be this
Max you tell Max can I just tell you like
it's okay to be scared wait no no I
want to hear Max break that what where were the weaknesses
you already said it Brock Purdy
in the first half like against a good defense
he got away with so many
things in that first half and also
credit to
the Niners defense you
we already talked about it but
the Seahawks may have won that game
if that if that strip sack doesn't happen
I mean it was a six point
game with them going in it was a ball
game the Seahawks were in were in that game
like through and through and then obviously
the strip sack happened and everything changed
but if the Seahawks score on that drive take
the lead in the third quarter like then
you have to see Brock Brock Purdy in a situation
that you haven't really seen him in
and he got
bailed out with the sack but I don't know
I'm I was very good he was very
very good in the second half yes
but I didn't look
at that I was like oh this is a team that
has has no flaws you know what Brock
Purdy is really good at he's very good at
managing the pocket so like knowing
when to step up he's got that
sixth sense where he can feel somebody coming behind
him yes and a lot of rookie quarterbacks
they they like bail after a second
and they get happy feeling like let me get out
of here Purdy knows like how to step up
where to step up and how to manipulate
people in the pocket and you know what I
actually think that part of his
little struggles the beginning of the game
and again I'm sure there'll be people
like there'll be people like dude he was
fine he wasn't well if you watch
the game he was he he
if he does that against a really
good defense it's a problem
but it didn't last so it's not a problem
as of right now he was doing a spin
he kept on spinning and it
was such a wide spin and he would end
up and then he finally was like
doing going back to
like you said he has a nice little pocket
presence where he's it's almost like he
makes himself small and then big he's like
a blob fish that was he makes himself
small and then he makes himself big again like
he like fits through little areas
and has a presence of mind of
where yeah where everything is
and yeah I'm I think
I'm back I started the game being like
Brock Purdy's a problem
and I ended the game Brock Purdy's back to
being Kurt Warner I think Brock Purdy is just
a very he's a very very
not bad quarterback yeah but it is true
Max is right like if he does if he has
a bad start like that and they get in a
hole it could be could could look
differently I don't know if we can
compare him to Kurt Warner though well
because Kurt he didn't spend any time in
the grocery store no
picture Brock Purdy's stocking shelves
but Iowa they got the Iowa
isn't that where he was Iowa barn
Stormers and Brock Purdy was
it was in Ames yeah
that where Kurt Warner played
Arena League and he that's
where he was doing their movie about Brock
Purdy yet starring an actor that doesn't
look like Brock Purdy I'm pretty sure it was
grocery store in Iowa when he was on the
Iowa barn Stormers and then you have
Brock Purdy at Ames
Packers then the bar in the Iowa barn
Stormers right so
there's a connection
I think that I think there's a connection
there I think Brock is his own story
though because he's as Mr.
irrelevant that's something that's a
storyline that is yet to be fulfilled yet
in the enough oh absolutely somebody going for
Mr. irrelevant there are a lot of guys that
are out there that are undrafted and
Cinderella stories but nobody has had
respect it gets put on your name for being
the very last person selected
to be a professional football player has
always it's never made sense to me because
it's still a team being like you're so
good that we want you on it we want to
keep you off of every other team right and bring
you in here for a workout it's essentially
what it is is when everyone leaves the fantasy
draft in the last round because you just
auto draft kickers today and you like and
if you have the last pick everyone's out
of the draft so you're just sitting in
there by yourself yeah that's what it feels
like when you draft Mr.
relevant but he is I'll say this and I
have no idea
who else is on this list I'm going to
say right now Brock pretty best Mr.
irrelevant of all time oh without a doubt he
hasn't won any championships and we have
another Mr. irrelevant who's won a championship
at what position quarterback who
Chad Kelly great cup winner
all right so I'm going to say it again
he hasn't won any championships
yes yes that's what I'm saying like that's
the story he is one of one Brock pretty
best Mr.
I should have known who's Chad Kelly I
thought for a second there Billy was going
to drop like a 1975 Mr.
like come on it was it was Chad Kelly
I was going to say the Mr.
relevant thing is it's like at the end of
the night at a bar and you've all had a
bunch of drinks the selection is not
what it should be and then you're like
okay that person and then you end up
going home and then you're like
you know what I got to get up for work
early tomorrow yeah but that's what Mr.
Brock was going to do
he was going to go to Brock's house
yeah that same thing played out
and then it's like oh it was actually
Brad Pitt that I went home yeah
congratulations your Brad Pitt and
it was like Brad Pitt dressed up in
like elderly makeup like when Kyrie
Irving goes to record yeah yeah it's to
be an old guy we're doing the thing
where we're talking ourselves so into
Brock party that's gonna it's gonna end
in disaster but I'm I went through it
getting just I just have to have a
look at the people who show up like five
hours later after a tweet I
I wish I could edit it
and just be like anyone who
quote tweets this is a fucking has a
small dick and is a loser because they
were like when I tweeted it he looked
like Mr. Relevant and then he played
well and then I was getting I was
getting quote tweets like eight hours
later being like bad take bro
well it's like well we watched the game
you just got to give Brock pretty time to
settle in in a playoff game yeah this is
so it it was expected for him to take
some time to become the Brock
party that we've seen over the last month
yeah parties he's just
I think in the story Brock
party is officially not bad yeah
agreed we actually have an actual
Mr. Relevant who's won a Super Bowl who
Ryan suck up the kicker for the
box oh okay kickers don't count
all kickers are Mr. Relevant yeah
so all right
so I learned my lesson because it will get
a segue into the next game with the
tweet I I did the same thing
in this next game with someone playing
very poorly in the first half but I
made sure to clarify the exact
time and place in the game
and it was Trevor Lawrence after
throwing four interceptions
to start the game the Jaguars
won 31 30
against the Chargers Trevor Lawrence started the game
four for 16
for 30 yards
and four interceptions
and it was as bad
as bad looks and on top of that
I forgot I said that I don't think
Asante Samuel Junior is that good he had
three interceptions in the first quarter that couldn't
have gone worse for me all right so
as far as the Jaguars and the Chargers go
I
I'd like to make a motion to ban
the word Chargers from the studio
hmm well you're hurt and well the future
I we can all admit we all
saw the same thing yeah
I don't think that we should disrespect
this podcast by using
that type of language in these walls
okay it's like saying you know like
saying Macbeth in a theater the whole place
probably gonna burn down we should not say Chargers
in the walls of part of my take
until they win a playoff game because the Chargers
they're dead to me they're officially dead
to me I think that Brandon Staley
should be tried for war crimes
as a war criminal I think
that it's a disgusting act
what I saw in the entire second half of that game
and the fact that everybody saw it coming
at the end at the end of the first half
the second well I I mean
Mac said it Billy said it
I tweeted it everybody knew
it was happening yeah the second that they did
not score a touchdown to capitalize
on that muff punt in the second quarter
everybody was like
this is gonna happen oh oh yes okay
will happen so it's
it's so much worse than that let so yeah
we'll talk about the Chargers first we'll get to the Jags
Jags are like that was an awesome night
we'll give them their
their flowers but so the Chargers
I was reading an article
by Daniel Popper shout out
that's a great name on the athletic
he broke down the play
so the turning point if we want to talk about
turning points in the game
the Chargers
getting the ball back
or getting the ball with three minutes left
and they're up 27 nothing
and if they get a first down
if they get three points in this year on this drive
if they if they just wait you know
if they just go into halftime up 27 nothing
they probably win this game
if you remember obviously they punted they went three and out
and then the Jaguars came down
scored and it was
it felt like the momentum had shifted right there
because it was like oh Trevor Lawrence has found
something like he was as bad as bad gets
and then he found something so this play
is the most Chargers thing that could ever
happen so if you remember
there's two minutes left it's third and one
right they're
getting to the line of scrimmage to run the play
they're
Joe Lombardi who is a fucking moron
and everyone agrees
he needs to be buried underneath the Hague
ok so here's how it sets
so Joe Lombardi they get to the line of scrimmage
Justin Herbert
has an audible he has a kill
it's called for an inside run
if it's looking like the Jaguars
are ready for the inside run
there's a kill for a jet sweep
to Deandre Carter
ok
Joe Lombardi has run four jet sweeps this year
Deandre Carter for negative 21 yards
so let's just start there
terrible play call hasn't worked all year
Deandre Carter is
Mike Williams back up
Deandre Carter who got hurt
in week 18 because Brandon Staley's a moron
Deandre Carter got banged up
so now they have a guy
Michael Bandien who has not practiced
this play
and they run the play and he's not even looking
for the jet sweep they fumble
they punt the Jaguars score
and it's 27-7
that's the most Chargers ever to have
not only a bad play call
but it's a play call for a guy
who is filling in for the guy
who got hurt in week 18
and then that guy gets injured
so you're on your backups backup
and he doesn't know the play
the Chargers deserve all of it themselves
they make their own
like fate
like the fact that we're sitting here
and they have a bad play
because Brandon Staley's so fucking stupid
he started his starters
in a meaningless week 18 game
you deserve this
and I'm not talking about Chargers fans
we'll get to them
I'm talking about the Chargers you deserve this
Brandon Staley you deserve this
nice guy we had him on once
yeah it's like the butterfly effect
except everybody involved is criminally stupid
yeah it's tough it's tough
and I have sympathy for Chargers fans
I
can't imagine why you're still a fan of the team
even if they like
the team that has made your life
living hell gets up
and moves out of your city
and you still support the team and it still does this to you
like I'm sorry I'm sorry that
you're going through this right now
the Chargers are just bad
I don't want to say their name anymore
I think I can easily
be talked right back into putting a future on them
for next year if they hire Sean
I won't let you do it
this is all bad and
I said all this stuff about like how bad it must be
for your Chargers fan but I also kind
of get it because you list all the guys
that they have on their team which we did they win
they beat almost any team
and a guy also a Saudi Samuel did get burned
on a touchdown and the fourth downplay that
the Jaguars ran
that was actually designed just to pick off
a Saudi Samuel okay so
what I'm saying is they've got the guys
right and
I'm as mad
at a team that I don't root for as
I've ever been in my life
and within about 15 minutes after the game
I found myself logging
back onto the sports book
and seeing if I could get a look ahead
for 2024 Super Bowl
Chargers thinking that Sean Payton
might coach the Chargers at that point so I
understand that it's like it's a disease
being a Chargers fan and I've got a touch of it
it's also an incurable disease
like we always joked about
yeah we always joked about it's terminal
we always joked about
Phil Rivers and like this tragic
you know late in the afternoon
you're watching Phil Rivers try to take
the Chargers back it wasn't Phil Rivers
it was like if Phil Rivers
went to the Giants he would have won
two Super Bowls it's the Chargers
it's the Chargers and it's so much
so that so
in this article I still can't believe that like
this Brandon Saley had to say this
he actually has he like
said out loud
that the Chargering is a thing
and that he's trying to break it
if you have to admit that this thing
exists that the Chargers are the most
tragic team in like all of
professional football
I think you just don't take the job so here's the quote
the history this is Brandon Saley
the history of this team when I got here it was like
someone's gonna get hurt they're gonna blow a lead
something catastrophic is gonna happen
there's this Chargering and there's
all these external factors that I know
in my life they're just all excuses
they're just all excuses
and so alright well how do you change that
well you have to do things different
you have to have a different approach
and then Brandon Saley started coaching the Chargers
and he did nothing different
and he did no different approach
well ok so he did do something different
there's another reason why I fucking hate this team
I never want to talk about him again
is because Brandon Saley got hired by the Chargers
and he comes in and he's a defensive coach
so they're like ok this guy's gonna be conservative
he's gonna be pretty much standard coach
and then no he starts acting like a big fucking drunk weirdo
and starts going forward on like 4th
and 13th from his own 20 yard line
that's fine I would like yeah
go out there be crazy you can't game plan against
crazy they don't know what to expect
and now this year what did we say
on Thursday we're like we get the vibe that Brandon
Saley is gonna be normal and he's gonna be very conservative
and guess what there was normal Chargering
here's another very funny stat
but you're right PFD like the
the way to beat the Chargers
curse is to be the crazy dude
that everyone's yelling at on Twitter
because he never will kick a field goal
he actually was doing the thing
to break the like
curse that somehow the Chargers have
and then he spent enough time there
that he just reverted back into a plain old
boring coach that makes stupid decisions
you gotta get so crazy that you out crazy yourself
right
you gotta outsmart yourself at times
my buddy Spilly tweeted this out
it's the Chargers win probability
it matches up exactly with the lightning bolt
oh that's right that's actually it's an overlay
that's sick that's the
and also those win probabilities make no sense
because they
the Chargers are the Chargers
it should be when they were down 20
when the Jaguar scored
and made it 27-7 going into half
it was a 50-50 game
yeah so it was a coin flip
even when it was 27-0
when they didn't get a touchdown
off the muff punt
I think a lot of Chargers fans out there were like
well this can go really bad
if Trevor takes the ball
down the field and if they score a touchdown right now
and that's exactly what happened
it could have been way worse at halftime
for the Jaguars as bad as it was
and as bad as they played they could have very easily been down 35-38
nothing at halftime
and they weren't
and yeah like the ball
dropping off the head the team
Statholt texted me teams in the playoffs
that had a plus five turnover differential
were 26-0 going into this game
and then the Chargers
they had plus five
turnover differential
the Chargers and the Falcons should have their own probability chart
which is heavily weighted
it's like the American dollar versus the Canadian dollar
we should just subtract 30%
from whatever the wind probability says it is for those teams
and I do like that they have their distinct ways
like the fact that the Chargers
finally got everyone healthy
and then Brandon Staley was like let's play everyone week 18
and then lose Mike Williams
who if you've seen any of the stats
you know when Mike Williams is on the field
and their average when he's not
and then you get plays like I mentioned before
where you have the backup of the backup
trying to run a jet sweep that he didn't practice
which was a play that fails anyway
but Brandon Staley
his
I feel like we're talking a mile minute
I like it because we're fired up
this is just passion that people are getting in their ears right now
Brandon Staley the analytical king
the prince that was promised
everyone talking about him last year
this guy does it different
this guy's new age
he realizes at 7 points
or more than 3 finally someone
Brandon Staley
on 4th and 3
from the Jacksonville Jaguars
22 yard line
decided to try to make the game
from a 2 possession game
to a 2 possession game
they were up 10 and he said
let me go up 13
what the fuck dude
if you get a 1st down and score a touchdown
if you go up 17
late in the 4th quarter
the game is over and I know the chargers are still there
but the game is over when you're up 17
with I think it was
how much time was left
it was like maybe like 4 or 5 minutes left
if you go up 17 there
the game is officially over
that means you have to score 3 times
that means they have to get an onside kick
no one gets onside kicks all that stuff
he was like no let me try to kick a field goal
and guess what the kicker missed it
and on the flipside you have Doug
Big Balls Peterson
who like genius when
Bosa lost his mind for the 17th time in the game
was like you know what
let's go for fucking 2
Trevor Lawrence is 6-6
he can dunk from the foul
8-47 at the miss field goal
but if you go up 17 with 8-47
I actually believe
the win probability
like if you score a touchdown to go up 17
and a change left
you're going to win the game most likely
because that is again
they need to score
they need to play perfect football
you either need a turnover
that you return for a touchdown
or get close to returning for a touchdown
or you need to have 2 onside kick recovers
instead it's just score
get a punt score
and if Brandon Staley if he truly knew
the depths of how bad Chargeron got
he probably would have shot away from kicking a field goal
and Dicker had a great season
and he was one of the reasons why people were like
this Chargers team, myself included
is different because
they don't have a shitty kicker
they've got a good kicker now
a good young kicker it looks like
and he choked on that one
it was bad
and somebody on that Chargers team
I know his fourth down or whatever
somebody on that Chargers team
should have told them let them score a touchdown
instead of trying to tackle
that same inside the ten yard line
just let him score at the end of the game
get the ball back
and that play Doug Peterson had run
that almost exact same play against the Chargers
earlier in the season
and Benjamin Solik did a good breakdown
on Twitter where it's essentially
they crash everyone in the middle
and they run wide
and essentially say
ETN versus Asante Samuel in space
Asante Samuel can't tackle
we will win this every time
and they literally got that exact same matchup
again and he ran
the Jaguars
I just still can't believe Brandon Staley
tried to kick that field goal
it's crazy
he was the guy
who was supposed to change everything
and he just turtled
and I feel bad for him because he is a really nice guy
and he is a defensive guy so like
a lot of the blame should be on Joe Lombardi
and we should say
Justin Herbert wasn't great
the fact that the Chargers
it was actually a big win for
football like guys like us
who still hold on to some meatball takes
because
the Chargers were up 27-0
they ran 25 passes
7 design runs
and the 7 design runs went for 7 yards
it's great to like
every now and then be reminded like if you can't run the football
you can't win these games because if they could run the football
if they could get first downs with running the ball
no one comes back from 27-0
guess what RG3 was vindicated
you have to be able to
have more rushing attempts than your opponent
if you want to win in the playoffs
with the Chargers
the way that they use their running backs is a little bit different
like Eckler he catches passes
but that's part of their running game
and he's great
and Justin Herbert I still think Justin Herbert
I would take him probably over
almost all the league
except for like 6 or 7 quarterbacks
if I were to like start right now with a new team
I still think Justin Herbert is an awesome quarterback
you have to be able to get a first down
you have to
that is on him
not be able to like just seal this game
because
there's a lot of blame to go around
most of it I think should go on Lombardi
I put like 50% on
Lombardi
I put like 40% on Staley
9% on Herbert
and then 1% on God
I was going to say God for creating the Chargers
he knew what he was doing
Asante Samuel Jr. might be good
I was wrong
it was actually very funny that he had 3 interceptions
because that was such a throwaway comment on Friday
he's not even that good
I forgot I had said it
and then he got his first interception
I got a few tweets
then he got his second and I was just bombarded
then he got his third and everyone was like
you're the dumbest person alive
I was like guess what I am the dumbest person alive
that was a throwaway comment I'm stupid
that was the first time I was like
what the fuck is time doing right now
also Ken Jack
who actually was one of the original
interns for this show
who's a Die Hard Chargers fan
I asked him I was like why do I think Asante Samuel Jr. is not that good
he's like you probably watched him against Devonte Adams
which isn't fair
because Devonte Adams is that great but he's like
any really good route runner torches him
well he's had some bad games and it's not just Devonte Adams
he's not awesome
but it's also
the dumb brain if I watch one thing happen once
I make a decision on that person
and that's cemented forever
so I hand up
that was stupid he played great
I just
I still can't believe
I can but I just
there's so the Chargers
so I wrote down I did a quick
because we've talked about it before
Minnesota when they've had heartbreak
we'll get to you guys Minnesota but
the Chargers is a franchise I think
because their fan base isn't that vocal
and they've been nomads
they don't get the credit
for being such a tragic tragic franchise
but
going through it
starting in
2006
you remember the game they played in the playoffs
against the Patriots and
the Chargers were up
with 8 minutes left and Tom Brady
threw an interception and then
Troy Brown stripped Marlon McCree
and like literally intercepted it
game over essentially
running down Troy Brown strips him
ends with Nate Cading missing a field goal
to go to overtime
2007 Phil Rivers tears his ACL
I think he missed three field goals
so Nate Cading that year
that year he had missed three field goals
the entire season and he missed
three field goals in that game
and there's more Nate Cading coming up
2007 Phil Rivers tears his ACL
in the divisional round
the Patriots pretty tight
I think they lost by like nine or something
but he plays with the torn ACL
2009
was the divisional round
2009-2010 season
where they lost 17-14 to the Jets
Nate Cading missed a 40 yarder
and a 36 yarder
2010 was the year that they had the number one offense
number one defense didn't make the playoffs
they moved out of San Diego
they should have been in San Diego
they don't even
they're literally
subleasing their home stadium
they don't have a home
they get cucked every weekend
they had Phil Rivers and Ladinian Tomlinson
and they got nothing to show
like I feel bad for Chargers fans
I do
Chargers as a franchise I don't feel bad
you make your own luck
Chargers fans you don't deserve them
you dragged your most die hard
Superfan Boltman in front of a town council meeting
and pried away the one thing that he loved
so sad
the Chargers are a very sad franchise
you know what else is sad
the fact that we've got an entire
department of statistics
and people that just do nothing but look up fun stats
not just here at Barstool
but also
all across all the football watching channels
and nobody thought to tell us
that Trevor Lawrence had never lost
a football game on a Saturday
what the fuck
how did we miss that
high school
NFL
last week he won on a Saturday
because in college
he lost the championship games
he has never lost
a football game on a Saturday
it's crazy
let's talk about
we've buried the Chargers
this one was kind of depressing
Brandon Staley this week
he tried to motivate the guys
try to get the Charger out of them
he showed them a picture
of the late 90's bulls all wearing
the same sneakers and he told everyone
they had to wear black cleats
on Saturday nights so they were
as one a team as one
and they really like went out there
so yeah I don't
that's the depths of the Charger hell
that you're like
90's bulls
we gotta do what they do and maybe we'll get out of
whatever this hell we live in
so I've got an idea for the Chargers
to fix the issue of being the Chargers
it's going to take something more
than just the shoes
you have to let them wear
a completely different uniform
underneath their Chargers uniform
like Mighty Docks?
you have to let them get well I'm sure
Kedell would have a word about
you only get a certain number of color combinations
you can wear but let them put on
I don't know
like Patriots or Ram's clothes
underneath their Chargers uniform
we don't have to see it on TV
just so that they know it's under there so it's like
listen this uniform isn't who you are
it's just a piece of clothing that's on the outside
you can be whoever you want
they need a witch doctor
they need a witch doctor to show up to their facility
to start training camp next year
and like do a seance and
and do the smoke and like heal all of them
because I don't think it's
I don't think there's anything that's going to change
I think Justin Herbert's a franchise quarterback
I do think that he deserves some blame for Saturday night
and shout out to Manu Wacho
for being the weirdest dude on Twitter
for like just hammering him
it's like the guy's very good
he could have played better
but they need everything to change
because they have they had Phil Rivers
and now they have what seems like
another guy who should be there for
15 years and win them
a lot of football games
but as it currently states
they're never winning anything of consequence
they seem like the most talented team that's always got like
a whip it's a combination of being
cursed truly truly cursed by God
and also
they've got a whiff of candy assness about them
what they need is an interim coach
they need an interim coach
they need coach O to come in for a season
just whoop the shit out of them
bury all the old charges uniforms
underneath the soil
like let them wear LSU shit
underneath the charges whatever it takes
they need just the complete opposite of Brandon
Saley for a season
I'm gonna chew your ass out
we're gonna be tough
we'll probably lose a bunch of games because
I'm such a tough coach and I don't give a shit about analytics
but guess what by playoff time
you might be ready to win one
and also for the love of God do not ever play against
Trevor Lawrence on a Saturday
do you think Brandon Saley's gonna get fired?
I would personally
would I personally fire him?
yeah you better believe I would arrest him
well it's funny because
he was kind of weirdly on the hot seat
he went on that run in
December where they got into the playoffs
and then he immediately had
maybe the worst back to back weeks
you could ever have as a head coach
he played all the starters in week 18
and lost one of his best players to injury
and then he
in the playoffs he lost
a 27 nothing lead
and a plus 5 turnover like
who has had a worst back to back weeks
you can't have a
you can't have a worse coaching
back to back weeks than what Brandon Saley just did
yeah so I don't know what they're
gonna do because the Spandos are very
strange owners they fired Marty Schottenheimer
after he went 15 and 1
replaced him with Norv Turner
they don't like to spend a lot of money
they're very
they're clear about that
they don't have a stadium
I would personally
fire Brandon Saley if you thought that you had a shot at getting
Sean Payton because I feel like
Sean Payton could fix what's wrong with him
he's got a little bit of that old school
like he's gonna come in and put mouse traps and shit in your lockers
yeah no if you
gonna make you watch videos of
rats getting electrocuted before games
it's tough on you up like that's got you need a little bit of that
stupid like
like meathead old school football coach
if you can't I think you got to just fire
Joe Lombardi and hope something changes
which it won't or just fire
just go without a coach
just be like cream to the top
so whoever feels like they want to coach the team
it's gonna be like lord of the flies next
yeah let bossa coach oh yeah
that was actually an all-time moment when
this way when boss when bossa
threw his helmet down
and then Lombardi
or sorry staley picked his helmet up
and handed it back to bossa
and bossa was like oh thanks coach and just
threw it again yeah it was like
what who's the head coach here yeah
um I officially now and I'm a
Nick bossa guy yeah I'm done
I'm done with that entire franchise
I don't I'm serious about I'm gonna try to
not say the word chargers yeah
the C words they're the C words
all right so I'm gonna put 20 bucks
in the free parking lottery ball thing
every time I say it you guys are all
welcome to join me if you want all right so
let's let's talk about the winning team here
because they deserve a lot of credit uh
Trevor Lawrence could not have been worse to start
the game like I said four for 16 30 yards
four interceptions he
then from that point forward
went 24 for 31 258
four touchdowns
it was insane how well he played
after that start because
I think we all were sitting there being like is he
gonna go full peter man like he
they were bad interceptions I don't think
Nathan peter man ever threw four and a quarter
did he was the fourth in the
second quarter because I was just looking at the
five and first half yeah five and first half that's all
I know that's what I was thinking but now
you kept thinking like oh it's not gonna get
any worse yeah just kept getting worse and worse
and and and Doug Peterson is just
a really fucking good head coach and he
did he did get
a little too we said it in Friday
show like the one thing about Doug
Peterson is he gets like a itchy
trick trigger finger where he's like I gotta do something
crazy he did it at the beginning of the
game when he went for it on that uh
was it a fourth down he did that weird
play and it was like what are you doing
oh he could have gotten a field goal they could have got a
field goal I think it was and you're like Doug
what are you doing but then he made up for it
with the two point conversion
and also like
sometimes football
feels simple and
the Jaguar's coming out of half and just being
like hey the Chargers
are just killing Trevor Lawrence
why don't we run tempo and why don't we
just go hurry up and they did that and
Trevor Lawrence was awesome and Doug
Peterson deserves all the credit in the
world for we should have like we
should have known going to this game like Doug Peterson's
gonna out coach Brandon Staley of course he is
also it shot up the entire
city of Jacksonville I don't think that they left
the stadium no I think they stuck around
other cities other bad sports
towns would have would have jetted out of
there but it looked like the stadium was full the second half
they stuck by their team I think
there's something to be said for a team that's been
so bad for so long they
just wanted to like take in a playoff
experience because you never know when you're going to get to see it
again and they got rewarded big time
sticking around that pool oh my god
imagine the body fluids that were floating
around that pool by the end of the game
we started it was 40 degrees it was only
40 degrees we had the guy in the gym mask
that was the saddest thing we could ever do
and they had a pregame part of my cheese stick tailgate
that pool went
from being filled like halfway with tears
and blood in the first half
to blood and come
at the end of the second half
and I'm not ruling out
the Jaguars versus the Chiefs
I know that they're gonna have to like
if Trevor Lawrence throws four interceptions to start the game the Chiefs will win the game
like Chiefs will not give up a 27
nothing lead wait but it's on a Saturday
it is on a Saturday
Trevor Lawrence lost the game on a Saturday
they played I think
the Jaguars lost by maybe 13 or something
they played right before the Jaguars had turned the corner
and the Chiefs are way better so like
if you play the game 100 times the Chiefs
probably win 80 times but
Doug Peterson
Trevor Lawrence if he's clicking
something about like one of those
young teams like we don't know what we
shouldn't know and we're just maybe we'll just
go into Kansas City and win this and the Jaguars wouldn't be perfect
Jaguars history
where it feels like the Jaguars
are the opposite where
of the Chargers they just go from
stretches of being the worst franchise
in NFL to then
having many like bumps
where their teams just go
far exceed expectations and it's fun
this is right when like Borders went up to Pittsburgh
and beat Big Ben
it goes all the way back to Mark Brunel beating John Elway
in mile high remember that
like that's very yep that was
supposed to be John Elway's first Super Bowl so that's
the Jaguars have
like if you know Jaguars history
don't be surprised if they find a way
to beat the Chiefs on Saturday and it's on Saturday
that's the most important stat
yeah Josh Allen is awesome
yeah the other one the other one but all
if your name is Josh Allen you're very good at football
yeah the Jaguars defense like came alive
like hey hey where you're about to say about
were you gonna call him a good sports town
yeah I mean I thought you know it's sticking
out in the cold weather was impressive
I was also wrong about Trevor Lawrence so I'll just
get in front of that
yeah you were right though for a while I was right in the first
I was at the end of the Titans game
I saw what I saw he didn't look good
I was proven right in the first half but now that he's
done it never again
he's proved himself in the playoffs in my eyes
that's similar to the Brock party and he's good
to throw four interceptions and be able to come back
from that is insane
like mentally I would just crumble
I'd just be a puddle crying on the sidelines
I do think that it was helpful that it was
interception interception interception and it
wasn't like interception drive interception
he just got him all the way quick
that's basically equivalent to one interception
yeah yeah it's true it's one big interception
yeah it's all one song
it was just one big jam
of like jam band jam
of interceptions
yeah take those three drives out of the mix
not that bad of a game
not that bad of a half
I actually can't know like we talked about in the beginning
you all you know took in every moment
of every game I actually can't remember
the actual like interceptions
they all just blended together
and it's also just like such a concentrated period of time
where it's like okay that was a bad
30 minutes as opposed to if you spread
all those out throughout a game
then you're like oh man that's a bad
three hours
I did think they were fucked when
the punt went off the Jaguars
players helmet that was the most unlucky
until they didn't score a touchdown
yeah because the Chargers
had the shortest fields possible
felt like the entire first half
and they should have put them away
and the Jaguars deserve all the credit for coming back
if you're the Jaguars you know that no matter how
bad things get in Kansas City
you've come down you've come back from worse
probably
I don't know if they're gonna get out to like a 27 nothing start
that's pretty bad
you can't get off to a worse start
against the Chiefs than you did against the Chargers
so it's like you've seen
all that the world has to throw at you before
now you might not win the game
but going into it you don't know that you're gonna lose it
right the only difference being that the Chargers
there had to be someone
in the locker room at halftime
who was like guys this is a Chargers
like they're destined to blow this game
I don't know if you can say that for the Chiefs
probably not
the Dougie P Max
you were saying Dougie P will
get them coached up you love that guy
of course everyone
you couldn't have driven them out of town
you could make that argument for sure
but you know he's doing well
Eagles are doing well
it's kind of a mutual respect
I believe
who would you say won the divorce
Jacksonville or the Eagles
there's no winner there's sometimes there's
two winners there's always a winner
you split ways
and you both are very happy
and you live the rest of your life happy
talking about the other party more
who's looking at the other person since the grand war
him looking at us
I'm gonna say right now
Doug Peterson
has not coached
his last game for the Philadelphia Eagles
you're gonna bring him back
I think they can bring him back
isn't that
wouldn't that be perfect
I feel like Doug has fully embraced
his Floridaness
I feel like you get an old person
down in Florida for like
four days in the middle of wintertime
somebody from the northeast and they're like
well I'm just not gonna move back
you guys can come visit me down here now
I'll be playing Knastin Shuffleboard
it always freaks me out when he takes off his visor
for like the national anthem
they show him like whoa what is that
he looks like the mop
he looks like the visor that has the fake hair
yeah right exactly in the gas station
so Jaguar shout out Duvall
shout out Chaps Dugs
that was an all-time night
they deserved it
Trevor Lawrence you've gained Hank's eternal respect
that's a big
that's a big time thing
he doesn't give that easily
I'm still trying to get it
he's gotta cut his hair before he wants to win a Super Bowl
but besides that
when they start playing the Super Bowl on a Saturday like they should
then I will start betting on the Jaguars
to win it all
also one last time
fuck you C words
yeah C words
also he went to Waffle House after
even more respect
Waffle House is maybe
as far as like per dollar goes
Waffle House is the finest dining experience
that you can have in the world
and also Trevor Lawrence someday hopefully
he's on this show I just have like a million questions
about his brother that is still one of the most fascinating things
if you haven't seen his brother looks exactly like him
and he's like a
kind of a very successful artist
it's complete
different brain
seems like a very chill guy
but it's crazy to think one guy's
an NFL stud
and the other guy's a very successful artist
how
does one family have that much success
the brother seems like he would absolutely hate
Davos winning
but loves Doug Peterson
they get along
I bet that Urban Meyer too
laid the roots
a lot of the nucleus that we see down there
in Jacksonville right now
we should give him credit they should have him come out
and do something
what do you do in Jacksonville before the game starts
you get a guitar
he'd come out and just strum that G string
yes yes
and also shout out Tony Kahn because if the Jaguar
somehow gets to the Super Bowl you're gonna let us
go and be on the sideline
sweet in the second half
can't believe what Vince is doing with the Saudis
you would never Tony
you know
before we get to Sunday's games

Sunday afternoon
one o'clock
Bills 34
Dolphins 31
the bills
flirted with disaster
disaster
crazy
it looked like Skyler Thompson
was going to go into Buffalo
and beat the bills
it was crazy because the game started
it was 17 nothing before you blinked
I think the bills scored their first
I think they were up 14 nothing in the first 7 minutes
and everyone had the same thought
everywhere in America
this game's a snoozer
this is the one game we can all just like
alright let's get to vikings giants
and then weird shit started happening
and the bills started turning the ball over
and the dolphins hung around and hung around
and hung around
and the next thing you know
it's 34 31 and the dolphins have the ball
and a chance to tie or win the game
and you're like how the hell did we get here
I don't
I don't know what to explain I don't know if it's a
don't over
yeah or like don't overreact
because the bills might
have overlooked them a little bit even though you shouldn't do that in the playoffs
or
the clinic time bills because Skyler Thompson looked pretty good
and the thing that has
kind of plagued them all year
is turnovers
did you know that the Texans and Colts are the only two teams
that have more turnovers
and they played an extra game
I mean right from the very beginning
when Josh Allen had that first scramble and then at the end
he mashed all the buttons at the end of the play like he does
and his both his hands
flailed out and the ball trickled forward
like six yards you knew that it was going to be
that kind of a day for Josh
which is fine you get good Josh and bad Josh
and usually good Josh wins
that fight in straight sets but
he will turn the ball over sometimes you have to
be ready for that I think what
we're looking at in this is like we're
we're saying yes Skyler Thompson
almost beat the bills
and we're looking down our noses at Skyler Thompson
because his name is Skyler
yeah and so it's like wait he's not supposed to
you can't get beat by a Skyler in the playoffs
Kansas State too
and in reality if you watch
how Skyler Thompson played today
I actually think he looked really good not because
of anything that the bills were doing defensively
I think that Skyler Thompson just
might be a lot better than we thought that he was going to be
yeah and it's the fact that he's a third string
quarterback makes people be like oh his name's
Skyler he went to Kansas
State where they let anybody in with a hole
in a heartbeat and he's
a third stringer
he's a third stringer
their acceptance rate is like 99.9999
but EMA you guys say EMA after that
every man a wildcat shout out Bill Snyder
but um he's just
he's not as bad
as a third stringer named Skyler
would lead you to believe yeah I mean he wasn't
not bad and he wasn't great he just
we expected so little
and he was better
than the little we expected
and I do
so this is the Bengals game and the bills
game like you can look at it
I think they're a little bit different and when we get to the Bengals game
I'll explain why I think the Bengals
you know when was a little bit different than the bills
the bills did dominate this game
they had bad turnovers
like they the fumble
for a touchdown obviously was
huge to start the
second half and they also
got stuck in a lot of spots where as like
it felt like they were just trying to take
shot plays and it just
like first down shot play like
second down like try to run a little bit and they
they just I don't know the bills offense
never felt like it was clicking
after the first two drives where they
did score touchdowns and they just
let them hang around hang around like the bills
dominate the game in terms of yardage
and moving the ball it's just those
that's why you love the NFL playoffs because
it's a single elimination and a team
can have a bad day
and I don't know if we just say okay
survive in advance bills are okay
survive in advance or you're like hey bills
if you play like that against the Bengals
or the Chiefs or the Jaguars
you're done like you're done so
offensively I think this is what you were talking
about in the second half
their offense became like
okay let's put Josh in shotgun
we'll run an occasional design run for
him but our passing game is going to be
Josh you take like
five step drop and then
you need to spin out of the pocket
then you need to direct somebody downfield
to run further downfield
and then just throw it as far as you can
and that I mean sometimes you get some awesome
like 70 yard touchdown passes from
Josh Allen but that was the entirety of their offense
for the second half and it feels like
and bills fans can tell us we're way wrong
we obviously love Josh
Allen and we root for the bills but
and we're biased but it does feel
at times like the bills don't have
like many
five to six yard plays do you know what I mean
they don't have it never feels
like Cole Beasley that's why they got him back
but it doesn't feel
like they can just
methodically move down the field
and sustain drives it feels like
they're either going to hit a home run
or they're going to be in third and long and
Josh has to do something incredible so I don't
I don't know what that is I don't know
Cole's their move the chains guy I think
they're working him back into the offense
and so they're going to have him do those little
like West Welker like
stick routes and that's how he scored a touchdown
today was on one of those he actually
like I think he's a big addition
for the team people like laugh and make
jokes about Cole Beasley but
I actually think that he makes this offense he
he should once he starts practicing
more and becomes more part of the team
he does like serve a very valuable
role which is make turn the offense
into like a possession offense right
because it does it does you know
what I'm saying like it doesn't and it should
be that they should be able to get stuff
underneath a little bit easier because teams
you would think would would
would given Josh's arm
and also their receivers
would try to keep stuff in front of them and not
like you know play play a lot of
too high safety and be like hey we're going
to let you go down the field
and beat us underneath because we don't want to get burned
but it just seems like they
either go down with a huge
home run play
or it's a punt and I don't know I mean their
run game has gotten better so
I'm saying all this you won
the game so it really is nitpicking
like the playoffs I am
a big believer like the playoffs
you shouldn't you shouldn't worry
about how you win the game you should just win
the game you know I mean like a three-point
game a winning a game by three
points even though you're a two-touch sound
favorite does not matter you just
survive in advance and next week is a completely
different game I'm just worried
I'm just a little worried yeah can't turn
the ball over like I do I think
I wouldn't say that this is like an example
of a reason to believe that the sky
is falling no no no I think
I think the bills can still like beat any team
in the absolutely so
but you can't get off you can't
like fall asleep at the wheel like you did today
yes it's basically the bills that I think
they would probably admit this they played like
a B minus game yeah and
beat the chiefs in the Bengals you have to be
B plus A minus or better also
don't wear the all blue uniforms anymore yeah
those are bad yeah I think we can all agree on that too
most bills fans probably agree with me
the blueberry look not great in fact
I'd like to see the bills bring back the red helmets
like the old school yeah like
80s 90s style helmets
I do you think that there was any
overlooking Scott not
you don't overlook a playoff game but
it did feel like at times and it was
also on the we were harping on the bills
offense and I have
ultimate trust in Josh Allen so I'm not like
that worried the bills
defense there were some times where
it was like wait what's going on here like
why is why are the dolphins maybe because
they're just they have such great receivers
it's bad drops and they had some really bad
drops the bills actually looking back on it
yes knowing that it was a 34-31
win and all the drops that they had
the dolphins could easily won this game
I do think that there's we're looking at
Skyler Thompson being like how could you let
Skyler Thompson beat you almost right he wasn't
that bad no and because we saw him
against the Jets and it looks hard
right like I'm talking about like today's
yeah right now Thompson today
probably played at maybe the peak of his
abilities yeah but he was good he was
good definitely good enough to win also nice
they always throw in the story when it's
like you're you're not only rooting for
a team like we're rooting for the bills
because we love Josh but like I also
bet on the bills and then they just
fucking slip in that that quick
you know like Skyler Thompson
has been through a lot his mom died
from cancer when he was a kid his dad
drove like 20 hours to get to this games
like fuck
now I feel like now I can't call him a bum
yeah now I feel like a fucking dickhead
his dad always do that yeah I
by the way I want one quarterback to go
out there for his first start and the
announcer is like nobody gives a fuck
about this piece yeah right like this guy
is a bum fuck this guy we should we
totally fucked up because we got so
ramped up talking about the C
words
Al Michaels it's done okay
I'm gonna stand up for Al Michaels it's done
wait wait Tony Dungey
Al Michaels I still think
is fine he's good with
with Herbie in the booth
either he had a giant meal
at halftime and he had the it is for the second
half but I think I think the more
likely culprit is that Tony Dungey
is the biggest energy
vampire in the world as well as probably being
an actual vampire but such
such a mood killer
it was hard
to listen to a
thrilling game and I know that people
like why you care about the broadcasters well
they're part of the game and
they do like Mike Tariqo
on Sunday night was
awesome that
that Sam Hubbard
fumble recovery he hit the perfect note
of excitement of like what the fuck is going
on Al Michaels is calling
an unbelievable comeback
and it was just
I was falling asleep listening to it
it was the Trevor Lawrence two-point conversion
is where it really came to a hat where it was
like and they score yeah and he gets the two
and Dungey was like
that's a solid play that you drew
you can see him reach over here
Jake thoughts on that
and then we'll get back to this game because we did miss that
we should have talked about that yeah there
was a lot of criticism
worldwide on that yeah I hate
I hate it because I love Al Michaels he's a fucking
he's a legend yeah but
it was tough what do you think
Jake not worldwide I want to know what Jake thinks
and I want you to be as critical
as you can be knowing that's not at all
tough spot yeah I mean like
come on just say it just say it
and it was boring Tony Dungey
in a playoff game there's such thing
as being too over the top so
I think there was no ceiling here
and he didn't even he was crawling
on the ground right he was Leo
in Wolf of Wall Street getting out of his car
that was some of the feedback I got on the bowl game like since
it's a bowl game you kind of have a little
more of a leash to get excited
yeah because it's a big game
yeah yeah of course
but yeah
Tony it was bad just
Jake wants to say it was bad I say it was bad
we never I hear a game like that and really
whenever I just hear Tony
I always wonder
like why rock hard
a good coach yeah
how could anybody want to run through a brick
wall for Tony Dungey it just
scheme he doesn't have any
he couldn't win in the playoffs
also I will say Tony Dungey doesn't
usually call games he's usually in the studio
yes oh you also had paint manning that's
probably why yeah it's true but like
whenever I see Tony Dungey I'm like why
how is this guy a successful
NFL coach
he seems like Joe Philbin without a pulse
yeah he's the guy that
if you like have to go on a double date
and Tony Dungey's there you're like we can't hang out
with that couple anymore no I don't want to
it's painful to go to dinner with them
that's who Tony Dungey he seems like
he actually strikes me as a ghost
yeah I think he might be a ghost his ghost
like he's yeah I mean his Wikipedia picture
is is alarming is it the vampire one
yeah yeah he's a bit he's either a vampire
or a ghost he's it was so bad
maybe both it was so bad
I have a note Segway to bring
us back to Dolphin's game if you want
okay that'd be great thank you Hank
Mike McDaniel on the sideline
obviously nicotine and sports go hand
in hand like baseball players
packing dips Jim Leland smoking
Siggs in the dugout you know old
coaches used to smoke Siggs on the sidelines I understand
that nicotine and sports go hand in
hand coaches players it's part of the
game yeah LeBron he
puts
Zinn pouches up his butt Mike McDaniel
was vaping on the sideline
yeah you can't
vape well no
no you can
like that's the part where I said this
online and people were like dude
everyone takes nicotine you just
can't have like a fucking
imagine like I'm fine with the act
of participating with nicotine
during a game
it just can't be a vape
the rules different than
hey it's called Don Julio
hold on I think
you can
if
you spent the entire day
struggling to get to play in on time
then you can't not sometimes
you got to hit the vape the Dolphins
I've never seen a team
flirt with delay of games more than
the Dolphins I think they had four
pre snap offside penalties and then
two delay games like it was
every single play
and when it happens that often
because sometimes you'd be like oh well they're just trying
you know they're the underdog they're trying to bleed the clock
no no the plays
weren't getting in on time it was very
clear not only did they have so many
delay of game penalties but they had
what I have to believe is the single worst
postseason delay of game penalty in terms
of logistics yeah of all time on that fourth
down he said they didn't break the
huddle until there were what four seconds
left and they had extra time they got
time because of an injury right so they were
they were huddling up and staying
standing in the huddle because I think
that this is something that he had planned out
and timed out okay if the play clocks
at a certain amount of time we can huddle
up and then sprint to the line and still be able
to get the snap off but they didn't break
the huddle until four seconds left of course
they're going to get a delay of game on it every time
I think I think Mike McDaniel I don't think
that was nicotine I think I think
he's vaping hashish so yeah
maybe I'm just naive because I don't really
know what these things look like are we sure he's not
just blowing in to make it warmer
there's no look you can see it right
Jake I think we need to we need to have you
vape just so that you you can he uh
knowledgeable about these things
that fourth and what he said afterwards
that he he someone had told him he got a
first down that might have just been he
was so high that he was just like thinking
he got a first down because I don't I don't
remember being like that was a first down
it was the most important play of the game right and
he was like well we had a play we put in
our personnel thing he was a first down and then
they said it was fourth down it's like okay I
it was all game zero yards on 31 it was
all game all game they had trouble
getting the play in and I don't know like
Mike McDaniel was a success as a first year
head coach I actually I
I respect Mike McDaniel yeah yeah like
he he got them to the playoffs don't vape
he dealt with a lot of injuries a lot of
weird adversity but
that's something like you have a
rookie quarterback who's starting
his second game
and you can't get the play in time to him
yes tough that was very tough
I disagree with that I think he should just
for aesthetic reasons not for like don't vape
he was just don't don't hit the
jewel if you're going to vape
vape hard like go all out
have a rig have have something
attached to your to your chest
like Bruce Arians did with his communication
thing have like a big rig of just
nothing but vape strapped on
your person and then blow amazing
clouds or have someone holding
the vape for you and then you go and like
pretend to like tell them something and you just
they're holding it and you just hit the vape
or have a guy like behind you holding a hookah
yeah and you're just smoking a hookah on the
satellite so be chill yeah so
dolphins I yeah I mean
they you have to say this is a successful
season right Jake like overall
yeah I mean
given where we were at eight and three it's
disappointing but at the beginning of the season this was do or die
for two and company obviously the injuries
have some asterisks but
yeah I mean a playoff
would have been nice I don't I've never seen one
like I've seen I've been alive
but I don't remember seeing one so
yeah it's tough because it felt
yeah yeah that's the thing
going into today I had
no hope but the fact that I was like
damn they actually had a shot to in this game
it's crazy right and I think that if you
took out the fact that we all
are so used to the bills
like making
incredible plays big touchdowns
and that they were two touchdown favorites if you just
watch that game just
like totally neutral didn't know anything about
them you come away being like the dolphins could
have easily won that game yeah they could have easily
won that game and they and the bills
survived and that's all that matters
they got to play better and we get our bills
Bengals matchup which I think it's
America America's finally ready to
see that game now you bring tomorrow
Hamlin pregame yes this is
this is when you do there was some speculation
before the game that this was going to be
tomorrow game where he would be on the field
like announcing them yeah it's up to the

Giants
31
Vikings 24
I don't
want to say we told you so
I don't either but we told you so
I don't I don't feel like taking a victory lap
on this I don't feel like pointing out
that the
Minnesota Vikings finished their season
with a point differential
that puts them in negative point
territory we've talked about all this stuff
I don't think that we need to rehash the fact that
we've said over the course of the entire
season that Kirk Cousins is a perfectly
fine
nice human being
and when it comes down to it in crunch time
sometimes is afraid to make
a dicey throw and we'll take a safer option
that might result in a completion
but it's ultimately not going to win you
an important game I don't think that we need
to rehash any of that wait are you talking
about fourth and eight
with the season on the line and you need a first down
and you go with the four yard check down
it was actually the perfect Kirk Cousins
into the game ever because
on the stat sheet it's going to show
yeah and on the stat sheet that one play
is going to show successful
completed pass for what like a
three yard game something like that
and in reality it's like
hey dude you have Justin Jefferson
he might he might be
double teamed but fucking he's
down there somewhere hey just throw past
past the first down line
just throw anywhere past the first down line
if it's incomplete at least you tried
to get a first down instead of checking
it down thinking you have five
downs that was actually
that was better
and we were more right than him throwing
interception on that last drive him
throwing a check down perfect
that was four yard short
and Kirk Cousins was not
the problem today I mean
besides the check down the Vikings
defense as we've said all along
they were going to kill their season
and they killed their season
the Giants did anything they wanted
Daniel Jones was
sensational like
he
was the best quarterback this weekend
he was the best quarterback this weekend
because you have to count Brock Purdy start
to his game yeah Trevor Lawrence through four
interceptions Justin Herbert struggled a little
Josh Allen was good but he had
a couple turnovers it wasn't spectacular
Tyler Huntley wasn't Daniel
Jones was the best quarterback this
weekend I don't think it's actually close
he was so fucking good
he moved the ball whenever they had to
he made big plays whenever they had to
he made big runs when they had to
he was like patient with his runs
letting his blocks get set up
Daniel Jones I'm sitting here right now
we're sitting here with wildcard weekend
five of the six games have been played
Daniel Jones was by far and away the best quarterback
in terms of play on the field
this weekend that's crazy
but it's true and I'm very happy for Giants
fans I think that what you've seen
with the Giants this season if you're a fan
of a loser team you can
look at these Giants and be like there's hope
for me get the right coach there's hope for me
if we if we hit a home run
hiring a head coach then we can go
from being and like let's be
very clear about what the Giants were last year
they were infuriating
and boring to watch correct they were a dumb
boring team coached by a dumb boring guy
remember when they did the QB sneak from
like the two-yard line on third and
nine because they didn't want to get a safety
even just a QB sneak it was like
they were running some sort of single
wing offense yeah but just like
fell forward for a yard and a half
it goes to show
and the NFL is such
we love it it's such a fascinating
league but
for every bust
you can point to many people
around them that probably failed them because
Daniel Jones was not
the guy and
he was had two different head coaches
different offenses not a lot of weapons
and then in comes Brian Dable playing
to his strengths and he has been
playing out of his mind good and he
now should be the quarterback of the
future for the Giants I don't even think it's up for debate
anymore it's just whether like what
the actual
monetary like deal with his contracts
gonna be he is their quarterback
of the future he was so good
and I don't know when he got a
jaw and like gain like 15
pounds of muscle but he's fucking hot there was
a bonkless I don't care damn Jones is hot
there there was he's not a boy anymore he's a man
there's one shot of him on the sideline
we did look like he looked like a
Superman he's a Greek guy he looks like Superman
a little bit yeah I think what's happened
a couple things with Daniel Jones one
he just kind of
found a point in his career that
he has a coach who actually cares about
him and seems to be aligned with him
and now they're running an offense that actually suits what
he's very good at doing but most importantly
I think he's had enough time
to wash the Duke off of
the skin yes and off of his body and he
doesn't have that the stink
of do smart meanest he doesn't yeah he
doesn't have that like the Duke vibe to
him necessarily and and the Giants
also survived
I mean this game was so much fun to watch it was just back
and forth back and forth
both quarterbacks played a clean game both teams
played a clean game because we were sitting there being
like whoever makes a mistake whoever fumbles
whoever throws interception it will
change the game that's how it felt
the Giants
that would have been an all-time loss
to have Darius Slayton over
the middle just dropping an absolute
perfect pass
where he would have run easily for first down
game over thankfully you had
Kirk Cousins checking down
and they even tried to give it to the Vikings with
that roughing the passer like that was a bad call
the Vikings were driving
a little bit but man
I again I don't want to say we told you
so but we told you so and you know what
I think Vikings fans it's been a long
season
a part of my take and us first Vikings
fans I want to I want to bury the hatchet
mostly because we ended up being
right like we thought we would be but I want
to bury the hatchet because you guys
knew deep down
that what we knew you also knew yeah
so we all were kind of on this and
and I I've said it before but I have
a few friends that are diehard Vikings
fans and I talked to them after and
they're like look we knew that was
going to happen but it was still such a
fun season and it was like they won
some classic games
they won the NFC North easily
biggest comeback in NFL history biggest comeback
the Bills game like they that was
a hell of a ride it just was
always going to end like it ended and
we saw it coming from a mile away
and I think they did too so I'm not
I'm not we're not going to do a victory dance
like is expected what I will do though
I will do a little victory
dance on someone in this room
Hank
you tried to troll us being like we were
being mean to the Vikings and you're like
I'm on the Vikings I like the Vikings the
Vikings are really good they're 13 and
four you bet on them today
what do you say about that
you know this is a podcast
yeah I mean there was really no excuses
they played like shit
their defense yeah their offense wasn't
yeah they probably should have gotten the ball to
Justin Jefferson a little bit more but credit to the
Giants defense you know the Giants defense were like
we're not going to let Justin Jefferson beat us
we'll just let TJ Hawkinson beat us
and he did for a while the Bills game
Kirk Cousins was making those
throws he had I think they had
two or three crazy 4,000 conversions
you get that rough in the passer call
you should have all the momentum
that I thought they were at least going to
have a couple shots of the end zone or something
when he just checked down to a tight end
and it just kind of all came to fruition of like wow
you're wrong
this team is a joke
this guy is a joke
11-0 in close games
and you trolled your way into
but that's just not trolling
I legitimately thought it was a real
fact-based thought
Hank factor fiction you decided to have
this fact-based thought because
it would do the most damage to us if we lost it
not damage I just
thought you know I was trying to like protect you guys
from yourselves oh well no we were fine
we never were in doubt we never
were worried ever it turns out
never turns out this is maybe
the most right we've ever been on this pie yeah
for all the asante Samuel's not that good
and then three interceptions in like five minutes
this one we were right like we were
painfully right about this I don't
I legitimately don't think that I've
ever been as right about a take
as I have about Kirk Cousins the entire
season it up the entire season
I'm not going to take a victory lap no
we're not taking victory but we're not going to
do victory I was so right that
it fucking hurts yeah I actually
I said that I was like it's it's I don't
take pleasure in being this right
because it's almost like weird to be this
right because you don't want to be the guy that's
this right but we were this right
Billy what teams have you ever been
positive on either of you great like
today like what what are you
chargers I was positive about the chargers
sorry to see where else are the hard
to hear us talk about how good the Niners
are charges
I called Brock pretty Kurt Warner
I'm just saying $20 for the
I don't know if you've been listening it takes it takes
a real man to back a team takes a lot
of people right we're talking
such a good oh shit I actually forgot
the fuck I forgot a stat I thank
you all right the Detroit Lions
no no the Detroit Lions the bills
the 49ers we had nothing but good things
to say about the Niners Patrick
Van Wagon bills boys by far the best
okay do you listen to show Billy
now you're back on your troll shit
I actually have a staff for you I completely forgot
to bring it up because we were so worked up
about the C words
and I'd really hate to derail this off
of the Vikings and us being so right
do you know that in in 2020
the 2020
season the Jets were 0 in 13
yeah and then
they went and they won as 17
point underdogs against the Rams
and then they beat the Browns
and then they got the second pick
and drafted Zach Wilson and not Trevor Lawrence
yes oh yes
they won two meaningless
games in December
and they so that's what I forgot to tell
you that that was a good one
there's actually a fourth down conversion
yeah games that just was like
the whole history yeah like
Trevor Lawrence could be a jet sliding doors moment
yeah and they'd be in the playoffs right
but you think Trevor Lawrence could handle the New York media
how's that project coming
were you guys going after
Dable was that was he a jet
in contention for the Jets job
uh no
not at the time no because they hired him
this year
wait but they might have interviewed him
I don't know
it might have been black Brian
yeah we get those confused
so yeah Billy I forgot
to bring that up
that is the difference between the first and second pick
back to Hank being wrong
and us being right Hank
I also would say I would also
say like you know the Vikings
that was kind of a regular season thing for me
I kind of moved on
the Cowboys
I have put one future in
for one team in the playoffs
it was not the Vikings
if it's the Cowboys I might have to
just mute myself for the rest of the season
no if the Bucks win tomorrow night you've been wrong about everything
right I'll just go mute I'll be muted
which part of the Vikings were you wrongest about
was it Kirk Cousins or was it a defense
not that we're dancing on your grave or taking a victory lap
or was it
us being right and you thinking we were wrong
it was Kirk Cousins and it was
you guys being right and thinking you were wrong
yeah do you think maybe they
it's kind of just like bet yeah it's like fade the public
you guys were you know a couple of public squares
looking at me right in the face
no you were actually the public square
you bet on the Vikings
you should have gotten Kirk Cousins more involved in their downfield passing
attack and maybe look
for them on like I don't know like some out routes
or some deep corners as opposed
to just hitting them in the flat for a negative one yard
completion yeah yeah
yeah that was the funniest play that was the funniest
play the entire game Billy I think we
were positive about a lot of teams I still think
you've been listening to the podcast today
I've been listening to the Vikings
yeah the Vikings we were negative about
but you know what next season if they find
a new quarterback it's totally different
they have so much talent
they're a really good their offense is so
fucking loaded but here's the thing
Derek Carr
Lamar Jackson liked to tweet
they're not going to find another quote
Lamar Jackson liked to tweet saying
talking about Lamar Jackson going to the Jets
but then he unliked the tweet but the screen
shot shows that he did like that tweet at one point
tonight when he wasn't at the game tonight
oh okay nice that's nice
hmm how's that was that do the Vikings
well you're talking about the quarter
okay yeah I mean we're I think we're
we're positive about a lot of teams
but the Vikings we were right about you
think Daniel actually we were positive about the Vikings
because we were right so that's in the positive
but the point like the point differential
on the all those Vikings games wasn't
as bad as like dolphins they were
13 and 4 that's the difference
is that there were expectations on the
bike right I know they were 13 and
4 also shout out to Minnesota
you won that division ease anders fly
forever also you've got Carlos
Correa so
congratulations yeah
I I hate being this right
PFT it's uncomfortable let's go back
to being wrong let's go back
to being wrong all right tonight
bucks you
oh you're we're gonna be wrong about the
box this has become like a
reputation for you know I mean it was
like the Vikings was like a
appetizer did it all just send it back
I've had to court yeah I've ordered two
meals yeah one of them was one of them
was one of them was yeah
Jake I've got Jake Marsha my stomach
and now I have the Cowboys for the
main course did it all just start based
on us saying that the Cowboys stunk until
you're like hmm yeah no I know what I
can say that that will shock everybody
yeah I think the Cowboys are good
is that how it all started or was there
some no you went
you just went again you walked me back
to the start the Cowboys the Cowboys one
is probably more to that point the
Vikings the bills game was an eye
opener in what way
it was an eye-opening fantastic win it
was it was throwing dimes it was they
were they beat the best team in the NFL
basically you know what it was my mind
just went from the white Kirk Cousins to
the black Kirk Cousins you just hopping
around yeah so
it's the white Kirk Cousins
and the
wait the black Kirk Cousins
and the white Dak Prescott yeah
you're rooting for the same quarterback
against somebody else
but yeah I mean if the Cowboys lose
tonight
you're not gonna hear much from me
no we'll be here a lot
we'll be interviewing you
I'll be takeless in Seattle
no you'll move on you'll probably like hate the
bills next yes you will
yeah you will yeah you're gonna hate the bills
you just laid the seed being like bandwagon
yeah you're gonna hate the bills
you already hate the bills yeah you do
you hate Josh Allen you've never liked the
bills you he dragged you kicking and
this is gas
literally putting words my mouth no
Hank factor fiction the Patriots
play in the AFC East
fact okay factor fiction
the bills are your rival
fiction okay because you don't think
they're good enough to be rival that is also
part of the Vikings the perfect storm
PFT has his own history Kirk Cousins
I don't like the vikings is up playing the same division
like why I like the lions
right now but the lions next year when
they're good I'm not gonna like them and I've always
said Josh Allen since I
Josh Allen you guys kind of like poking fun
of him and him coming to the podcast doing the
interview was we'll always
have utmost respect in my eyes
before he could have been the worst quarterback in the league
I would have been like I like Josh out a lot great dude
so I'm happy that he's successful
he's the best dude I hope they do well
I wrote down a couple
nice things about Minnesota okay
in Minnesota
you have the most lakes
I asked the United States I've spent some
time we love lakes yeah I spent some time
in the Minnesota lakes it is
beautiful in the summer in Minnesota is actually
a delight you have
a wonderful state fair that we've been to
been to with butter sculptures
make butter sculptures you have
not as many mosquitoes as
in some parts of Brazil yep
for the most part you guys are not
that infested with malaria
the Edmund Fitzgerald
probably had it coming
and you have Carlos Correa
that's really the old thing I keep going back to
and I've always said
that Minneapolis is a very nice city
every time I've spent I don't know
probably like five or six different times I've been there
and I've enjoyed it every single time
it's a very very nice city
had a lot of fun times memories there
St. Paul as well St. Paul is nice oh I love the juicy Lucy
those are delicious
the wings we got
you were in Thailand
I was doing MDMA in Hong Kong
St. Paul and I went to a great wings place
that was awesome
the Final Four was great there
Minnesota is very affordable
yep it's an affordable state
you also have a very good head coach
yes although I don't know what was that
third and one play in the first half
the past of Kirk Cousins is so funny
let's make Kirk Cousins make someone miss
just that one didn't really
they should have just sent him downfield
they should have just like aired it out to him
that made no sense but other than that
Vikings
it's Kirk Cousins just as much as we do
he's like listen
let's have Justin Jefferson play quarterback
and then get Kirk Cousins lit up
but so to
put a bow on the Vikings season
incredible regular season
we were right I think everyone else
I think most Vikings fans also
knew that we were right deep down
I won't carry this hate
well I will because it's divisional but like
they have a shitload of talent
if they can figure out their defense
it wasn't their offense their defense was
really really bad and we saw it
all day against the Giants
and yeah to be continued
we'll see what the next chapter holds
I actually think that next year's Vikings team
is going to be way better than this year's
because their offense is fine
yeah they should have to fix their defense
they'll take some steps towards doing
and then I'll think they're fine
I'll also go to bat for Kirk Cousins
because I might be wrong about being so right
I know we just said that this is the rightest
I might be wrong about how right I am
because there is a chance that
Kirk Cousins thought it was third down
or there were five downs
one of the two
it's like a 10% possibility that he got confused
and thought it was third down
and he checked down on it
that would make way more sense
and I would be inclined to be like
yeah Kirk Cousins I kind of believe you
if you were to say that
that's how dumb of a decision it was
so I'm either right
about being wrong about Kirk Cousins
or I'm right about being right about Kirk Cousins
I'll leave that much up to you
and Kirk Cousins will forever be
top
you know a 10 to 15 quarterback
in the NFL which is
you can win a lot of games with that
that's not bad he's not a bad quarterback
he never has been a bad quarterback
if there was a hull of very good
second ballot he's in
easy we'd vote for him ourselves
and the Giants will see the Giants Saturday night
they feel a little team of destiny
I'm a little nervous
they are buying in
they're the most bought in team
and we should also say this was the match up
to see who gets our official
coach of the year of the year vote
Brian Dable
well deserved
and Greg Olson is very good
that was the only thing
can you actually clip this just in Senate
we can tweet it out
Greg Olson is next up
in a short time
he's very good at calling a game
at finding the right levels
of like when to get excited when to get in
and he teaches us something
Greg Olson not because we're friends with him
I'm saying this if I didn't even know
if I'd never met him in my life it'd be like
Greg Olson next up
he is very very good at broadcasting games
and also when Tom Brady comes and takes his job
next year I'm going to be a little bit sad about that
don't include that part in this clip
maybe not
Bengals 24
Raven 17
we just finished watching this game
the Bengals
now
I have a different perspective now because
I did put a future on them a few months ago
last year
it was like how are they getting away with this
this year it's like maybe this is what
the Bengals just do in the playoffs
they win games
with a couple lucky plays
and it happened tonight
with the Sam Hubbard 99
yard touchdown which swung
the entire game the what a beast
the Ravens I mean he is a beast he's an absolute
beast since that he kid played lacrosse
no big deal rowback we have a story
on barcelesports.com from last year
yeah exactly he did all these things
um
the Bengals it was a 1717 game
the Ravens were playing just as you expected
like staying in it playing great
defense not not giving up any big plays
doing just enough
offensively running the ball well
they're going in
it's 1717 it's the fourth quarter
they're on the one yard line
Tyler Huntley reaches out for a touchdown
it gets knocked out of his hands which I mean
you can say luck but it was a great play
by the Bengals defense falls into Sam Hubbard's
arms and he runs
99 yards for a touchdown and
uh Statthole actually said that that was
uh the I think
the first time the playoffs a player scored
it's the highest numbered player
to score a touchdown with higher number of yards
than his number yes so in
the past Greg Ellis and Mike Patterson
they're both numbered 98
they scored on a
98 yard touchdown
yeah so he beat that record
he beat his own number uh but yeah
that I
that game like
and similar to the bills dolphins
game survive in advance so who
cares doesn't matter how you win just win
but the Bengals
got outplayed for a lot of that
game like the the the Ravens
here if you had told
if we had said to you if I said before
this game that
the Ravens would have
over a hundred yards more
total they'd have more
uh rushing yards by like
three times they'd have more passing yards
they had more passing yards
than than the Cincinnati Bengals
with all their weapons and the
Bengals still won the game like yeah that's the Bengals playoffs
like that that the Ravens
played that game exactly how they needed
to play the game to win that game
and the Bengals just keep doing it
and I they got a knack for it
like I'm I and again I'm on the other side
now so I'm rooting for them so I'm like
happy I'm like hey look horse you
up your ass don't explain it just win the Ravens
had such a weird offense that they had
they put together pretty much the best
game plan possible to beat the Bengals
they which was let's run Lamar's
offense with Huntley
who's going to take us forward
maybe get like two first downs
and then we'll have two like back breaking penalties
and maybe an interception thrown in
like after the back breaking penalties then
we'll have to regain all that ground that we lost
from those penalties so our offense
is gonna have the ball for forever
and which is that's that's how the Ravens beat you
is they just they possessed the shit out of the ball
they go on these huge clock-killing drives
I think that one in early
on in the game on that touchdown drive wasn't like
a seven seven
thirty drive something like that
it was it was the field goal driver I think at the end of the
half they went uh oh no that
no they did a touchdown drive ten ten minutes
ten minutes yeah seventy five yards
seventeen plays yeah which is crazy
it's so hard to do they just they
figured okay Jamar Chase
can't be scoring touchdowns against us
if we have the ball in our hands so they had
they played like the most boring style of football
pretty much Huntley is always
like tripping over himself in the back field
and barely regaining his composure
doing a spin move and then hitting Mark
Andrews for like an eleven yard game yeah that's
kind of what their offense is predicated on today
it almost worked
it actually probably should have worked it should
have worked with with the exception
of Huntley thinking that he had Trevor Lawrence arms
yeah right because the like
it's similar to the Bengals
game uh last year against the Titans
where they sacked Joe Burrow nine times
and then Ryan Tano just threw the game away like
I don't
apologize for the win and the good news for the
Bengals is the bills defense is not the
Ravens defense so everything should
look that should be a shootout everything
should look a lot easier the Bengals just
find a way to win and that play that Sam
Hubbard touchdown was so fucking
electric like that was
that was everyone stood up was like holy
shit what is happening because
the game I mean I don't know what
win percentage they do they are bullshit
but it had to have swung it so
severely because the Ravens were about
to to take the lead and their defense
was playing so well that it felt like
the Bengals couldn't get anything going
and then it just flipped on its head
and the Ravens had to play from behind
and they can't do that. I have an ESPN
before the play
it was 59.1 Ravens
then 85.8 Bengals
I mean crazy not crazy one thing that I
love this game was Eli Apple getting
cooked and then Eli Apple getting
cooked again on the internet after because
I don't know what it is about the guy I think it's
because he's played for so many different teams
that there are so many fan bases that have
a genuine
glowing white hot hatred of him
that anytime he gets cooked
it just becomes a big dog pile
online and it's so fun all the memes
are so fun. I think Eli
Eli Apple is one person
that for whatever reason we can
just all come together and laugh about
because he's had a
successful career by any given stretch
like you can use any
measurement that you want
he's an NFL veteran he's made a shit
load of money but when he screws up he really
screws up bad and it's awesome
and I don't know what the Ravens do going forward
I mean Lamar it feels like
Billy said it he's liking tweets about going
to the Jets doesn't feel great
I heard he's going to be a commander
and Lamar I would treat you so good
oh I would
I give you your own bathroom
everywhere we went it'd be like Kim Jong
Un you have a train just
of your bathroom that would follow you wherever
you wanted to go that's a huge deal it is
for him and the
Bengals I just the good news for the
Bengals it's
it is Hank did point out the other
way to look at that stat I'll give you credit Hank
it is hard to harder to beat a team three
times because
you beat him twice and then it is
20 to 14 I think we said on Friday so
it you know the team that loses
the first few times does win a fair share
that was just an old school
divisional these two teams
know each other so fucking well
of course it's going to be this tight
the Bengals survive and now you have
in your way two teams
maybe the Jaguars too
so throw them in there but you beat the
chiefs already you beat the bill seven to three
already so you have teams you know
you can beat yeah right there
right in front of you the Bengals feel like
they're just going to what
she beat the bill seven
yeah they beat they beat the bill seven to
three if the game never happened yeah no
they the game is over
and they had talked to any Bengals fans
they were driving yeah they were driving
the 7-3 was over
the game was over dealing
anyone who thinks the Bengals weren't going to win that game is crazy
we've never seen crazy comebacks
in football games like a team coming
back from 27 nothing
or the Bengals coming back from 21 to 3
against the chiefs and they have to chip it
7-3 over what's up with the
with the Bengals field why is it so dirty
why for being
in a synthetic turf field
they've just got black pellets everywhere
not in the right place really it's also cursed
it is
we'll just a ton of injuries
really bad injuries okay well whatever it is
like they need somebody it needs to be
somebody's job to sweep up those black pellets
because they're I've never seen
a field as messy in my life
well they're ready to go and
and it is so funny I mentioned
it when we were watching the game but
the Bengals helmet
when Andy Dalton wore it
was like okay this is kind of a joke
when Joe Burrow wears it
is like these guys are for real
well I thought Andy looked good in it
yeah I know but you like you knew like ah we're just playing around
it's Andy like that's fun Joe Burrow
wears it's like these are ferocious things
right I mean he makes everything look cool
the entire montage of Joe
Burrow wearing clothes that would actually get
us locked up in St. Asylum if we put
him on but when he does it's like damn
they also went a little too far when
they showed him walking in today and he was just wearing regular clothes
yeah and they're like so cool look how
when do you think the backlash is
gonna start for Joe Burrow and what do you think it's
gonna look like so I hope it never
comes because we love Joe
but knowing how the sports
media works if the Bengals
go deep in the playoffs
like let's say the next two to three
seasons and they don't win a Super Bowl
I was mentioning
before like people won't
some people won't remember but like there was
a long stretch
where we were living in the greatest hot take culture
of all time and Peyton Manning and Arod were the
biggest chokers of all time they were losers
they're like they stink they can't win
anything they're terrible players
like two guys who were the best
players in their respective leagues
were bums Peyton was
Arod kinda was
yeah right so Hank is giving
you a time portal
to seeing it but so unfortunately
I think that's how media works that will then
even though Joe Burrow is awesome
dude and awesome player
yeah like that's a compliment though
because we're not
sitting here having a conversation about like Kirk Cousins
can't win the big one
like he hasn't reached that level yet
Joe Burrow is good enough where now he's gonna
have expectations behind him of winning
the big one it's gonna be like yeah he hasn't
won anything it's gonna be
don't you know cigars are bad
for you what kind of role
are you setting for the kids and then it's gonna
be why is he friends with those part of my take
losers yeah yeah those are the big three
that they're gonna attack them about yeah and I
am all in on uh because
here's the other thing like
you don't think you need luck to win a Super Bowl
you could go through any Super Bowl run
and be like there was luck here there was luck there
the ball bounced their way the bangles just have
the ball bouncing their way right now that just
is what it is so
you can't like like there is something to have
it having a knack for
you know you know having the ball bounce
your way and and making those big plays
and the bangles keep doing it I cannot
wait for that bills bangles game what time
is it three o'clock three o'clock
shout out jakey nailed all his predictions
thank you um yeah
that game is going to fucking rule
like we have I agree
I agree listen I love these games
yes yes divisional round might be my
my favorite weekend this is gonna be maybe
the most anticipatory week of
of just waiting I love it
I love it so much every single matchup
my pants are getting tight
I'm pumped especially for this one yeah
we've been waiting two weeks to see this game and you know
it would make it perfect because we have every storyline
right now we have we have
Patrick Mahomes versus
the new young gun Trevor Lawrence we have
Giants Eagles divisional rivals
hated teams we have Josh Allen
versus Joe Burrow what would be perfect
is is if we have Mr. Relevant
versus Tom Brady going home
Tom Brady going back to Candlestick
and if you think NFL is rigged Hank
you'll have time to switch your pen
because that would be although you know what
let me let me be nice to you
Cowboys 49ers
is also a very classic 90s matchup
so you have that the fact that the
worst game in terms of storylines involves
Patrick Mahomes we're so lucky yeah
we're blessed we're blessed we're blessed
shout out football shout out football
all right let's do one last ad and then we'll
wrap up with who's back of the week
before we get to who's back it's brought to you by Peloton
it's hard to stick to working out
but guess what Peloton makes it easy
I love my Peloton I'm back on the bike
Hank's been on the bike
we've been pedaling through buns of anarchy
boogers joining us for some rides
the great thing about what I like about Peloton
is the bike and the live leaderboard
actually does make you press harder
I remember when I first started using the Peloton
and I wasn't competing in live classes
I was getting good workouts in
and then I start competing against other people
and it makes you press way harder
than you thought you could push
Peloton is the best workout that I've had
the bike's great the app's great
everyone knows that Peloton makes bikes
but they are so much more than that
they make treadmills and they have tons of other classes
like yoga strength training
high intensity interval training
and boxing Peloton instructors
have a variety of different training backgrounds
and styles of motivation
that work for people of all fitness levels
Hank who's your favorite instructor
Mine's Kindle Tool
Mine's Alex Toussaint
he's good yeah both great instructors
Olivia Mato is another good one
they're all good on Peloton they'll give you a workout
who's your favorite guy
my favorite guy Alex Toussaint
Cody Rigsby is pretty good
you want me to keep going? No it's fine
I like all of them they're all great

whether you're looking for EDM 90s
pop or something soulful

I'm getting back on the bike this week
look for us on the leaderboard
see if you can beat us
Henry who's back
I don't know how this didn't start the show
but my who's back of the week is a handball
oh yeah how did they start the show
specifically US handball
the boys
in red white and blue
won their first international match
in 21 years
yes they beat Morocco
good sports town USA
we're back
shout out to our guy Tyred
Tyred
love it and I mean
some might say it's because we started talking about handball
on this podcast and said any athlete
could step out there and compete
some people hurt us and we got new blood on the team
yep facts
alright US handball back
how did that start the show
they did lose
to Croatia but I think we're still in the tournament
Croatia is probably one of those really good countries
they're good at everything they try in Croatia
name one thing Croatia is bad at
winning wars
I think they won a war
did they
they seem to be pretty peaceful in Croatia
no
no they haven't
PFT who's your who's back
my first who's back of the week
is Colin Coward stealing our stuff
yeah
Colin Coward did
he did like a headline show
which is a topic
or a segment that he stole from Scott Van Pelt
like tomorrow's headlines today
and so on last Friday's show
the herd
fucking fake soup guy Colin Coward
hooks up on his bottom line
I want to rock and roll all night
and purty every day
right after we talked to Booger about that
so he's
he's a thief
he stole soup from me and overwrite analogies
he steals
what else do you steal
Joe Burrow
he stole Joe Burrow from us
he stole dying his hair
4k
he stole being divorced from Dave
I'm not
dying my hair anymore people are saying that I'm very gray
they were mentioning many times on the stream
how gray I look so
even I don't dye my hair
I just said fuck you
I blocked him
he's not getting these takes for free
you're never gonna die again
if just for men wants to step up
I will
that's no free ads but start advertising with us
I'll fucking go jet black
we'll be very funny
what if there's another brand
yeah whatever brand
same something for guys
any brand that's listening right now
you have a model ready to go
Uh, I will dye my hair jet black for a dude. Maybe not jet black. But yeah, only for dudes
Florida dude only for dudes Florida a Florida man
hairstyle. Yeah
All right, what's your other who's back? Oh, yeah, my other who's back the week
You know what that that can be my only who's back the week except for Cliff Kingsbury. He's back for being a genius
Yeah, turns out Cliff Kingsbury Cliff Curry Kingsbury
We talked a lot of shit about him all of it was deserved
But the stuff that we said about him being dumb not true because he did what I think any of us would do if we got fired
With like 30 million guaranteed. He got a one-way ticket to Thailand. Yeah, and so he's just gonna hang out in Thailand for like
I don't know years. Oh, so who's back Shawn McVeigh. Shawn McVeigh is actually back and also who's back
Aaron Donald Aaron Donald's who retired for like five minutes and now it's back
All right, my who's back. I
Have to round down
Unfortunately, but I'll just do it anyway. So I have to round down or sorry my who's back. Yeah, I'm gonna actually it's a hot seat
But it's who's back my who's back
Deandre Jordan
Andre Drummond and Ben Wallace. I have to round down here, but those three guys. What do they have in common PFT pistons?
Nope. Well, yeah, but nope. Wait, what? No, what do they have in common though?
Say it again Deandre Jordan. Yeah, Ben Wallace Andre Drummond
Senors if you round down they all shoot 40% from the free throw guy
So they would be equal to Henry Lockwood who said that he could shoot eight for ten from the free throw line
Ben Wallace won an NBA title. Yeah, he did. That's a fact. So there you go
So I'd have to round down though because Deandre Jordan's actually 47.5 percent
Andre Germans 47.4 Ben Wallace is 41.4. So that's pretty close. But yeah, Hank
Decided it was a Friday night. You just said I can hit well. We have the free throw Friday bets
Available exclusively in the bars of sportsbook on Fridays. You pick a player in the early game
I pick a player in the late game. I tweeted it out promoting it and someone said how many
Free throws would you make out of ten?
Didn't really think about it. I was like in back of my day
I was a prolific free throw shooter wasn't wasn't a huge fan of like what do you think prolific means just really good
unbelievably good
Was never a huge fan of like really working out and like getting sweaty and like, you know
Practicing basketball that way. I would just go out in the driveway and shoot free throws
So I was like I've I'm a good free throw shooter. I can easily hit eight out of ten might have been a little ambitious
Didn't four out of ten the first time well that you said
Even that's what that's all in the counter. It was windy as fuck though
Yeah, and no one was rebounding people read people with no free throw shooters ever had to get their own rebound
Yeah, it was sad too because I gave him a chance for redemption
I was like you get ten more because you know
We could have sat there forever and if we did a million free throws at some point
There would be a stretch of ten then Hank hits eight out of ten. Unfortunately. We didn't have enough time
So I said go shoot ten more
You know would be the the worst punishment ever for our next year pick thing is just you have to keep shooting free throws until you
Make 20 in a row. Mmm. No, that wouldn't be that to be 20 hundred in a row would be bad
I don't think yeah, wait, you could you think you can make 20 free throws in a row. Yes
I mean it would take a while, but yes, yeah take a while. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, no
But I think I could do it within the first
Two hours guess is another challenge, but then you get tired by the end of it. That's true
If it's two hours, you're gonna be
Yeah, that's I mean, I would never do it without a massive massive massive massive massive
Distincts, wait, hey, you get 20 literally shot 20 shots and you're saying not only if you're being tired before rhythm too
Yes, yeah, but anyway, so Hank went four for ten. I said hey go ahead take ten more
Let's see if we can get this eight. He got all the way to the end. He was seven for nine
There was actually a little kid who walked by I was like daddy
This is like look at this NBA player and then Hank
Clanked the last one and the kids started crying just crying
Did you promise him was he sick?
Was he on the way to the hospital like don't worry about a kid. I'll make this for you. Shout out that one AWL
Stoolie who literally as Hank is going for one of his free throws. This was during his four out of ten
Drove by and just screamed out of his car Hank
You fucking suck at free throws as he was shooting it and he fucking missed it
Yeah, I was one for two at that point miss that one and then it was over that that that I
Was not able to recover from that
I can still go to sleep at night knowing on the best free throw shooter in this room without I mean by far you could probably
I will not fight you on that. Yeah, I will kicker. I'll see you there
Yeah, no definitely just all around athlete also just to be clear to not throw any shade on Ben Wallace
Ben Wallace is technically a better free throw shooter than Hank because it's 41.4 percent Hank could probably beat him up though
Hank was 40 percent
First time probably well, you were 11 for a total so not much better four degrees out
Well, I said we could get it inside Jimmy like no, no, no, I want to do it outside. It's no difference
It wasn't a regulation height either it was nine foot rim. Oh, where was this?
Yeah, I gotta get a video of me trying to touch it. How bad is that nine foot rim?
I think it wasn't far enough away
I've actually made like a mental list every time I see I drive by a hoop that looks like it's about nine and a half feet tall
I just drop a mental pen in it so I can go back and touch it later. Yeah, and be like look still got it
Yeah, Billy really quick before my who's back the winner of the last football guy of the week for this season
Was Damar Hamlin? He won. Oh, not Peyton Hillis. Payton Hillis. Oh, it was a very close race
It was actually much closer than I thought
But yeah tomorrow Hamlin squeeze it out. Good for tomorrow. Good. I'd never thought he'd win that in my
Real who's back is bad statues. So over the years. We've had some bad statues
Think about Christiana Ronaldo statue his bus before it's been going viral. That also for talking about the Vikings
I've it's been a tough year for takes for me. Sorry to interrupt. What was your take?
Oh that Christiana Ronaldo was the greatest soccer player. Oh damn Hank
And then you said and then he signed with Saudi Arabia. Yeah, I'm messy
Couldn't have been worse on that one
Cowboys. Yeah
We'll be streaming it it is a reputation game for you
It's and again, I want to just repeat if the Bucks win this game
We might not have a guess on Wednesday. It might just be a full
Exclusive with Henry Lockwood. I will say nothing. I'll be muted. Okay. No, you won't
So it's been going pretty viral
But in the Boston Commons they unveiled a new statue for MLK and most of Twitter thinks that it looks like either
Penises or poop that you can say that about basically anything though
Like Twitter. Yeah, what do you think Billy? How do you think the art of the statue is?
I'm not really sure what it is, but it does look like poop
Thousand who's back? All right, but by the way happy MLK day. Yes
To all those who celebrate
Which should be everyone except for Arizona. They don't know it took them till like
1995 yikes to acknowledge it as a holiday. Yikes. Yeah, that was like a Chris Rock routine
I think he said like, you know how racist you have to be to not take a day off work. Yeah, seriously notifications on for a bell today
Yeah, oh, yeah that happy anniversary. This is the date when Ravel said that he had upwards of nine or more
Pieces of MLK memorabilia and his best friends are black some of them some of them. He has any sorry
For appreciating history, I think he said I'm sorry
I think you said I just I just find it cute. Yeah, and I'm accused of being racist when I have nine or more
Autographed Rosa Parks rookie in double ACP cards. Actually, I'm gonna find that
All right, go ahead Jake
My who's back is Novak Djokovic in Australia
The Australian Open started. I heard there's a show for this by the way. Yes, I need to watch it
I need to watch it too. Yeah, Netflix show. Apparently. It's really good. It's f1 for tennis
Yeah, pretty much it highlights a curious the guy we talked about over the summer
He actually just had to retire from the tournament due to injury, but that guy's always quitting something um
Yes, so last year Djokovic got deported from Australia couldn't participate this year
If you get booed you get kicked out
Allegedly, love it. Wait if you boo if you boo him, okay? Oh, they deport you
From the tournament. There's no amnesty rabbit got the gun. Yeah, there's conflicting reports. I was actually feeling discrimination
To ban booing. What if you throw a battery at somebody? Yeah, you can't do that. Yeah, Max. They're coming after your culture
This is gross. So the quote is if they disrupt the enjoyment of anyone else boom. They are out
We don't want them on site. They can stay away or we will kick them out
Yeah, but what if you're cheering against someone and the other person's cheering for the other person?
I would disrupt my enjoyment of it true
Also, no booing
It's a bit rich for a country. That's an entire it's it's founded on a penal colony to start policing people's manners now
Yeah, so there's no reports about the actual booing rule, but if you're disrupting the enjoyment, you're out
Crazy
Sure, I have I have over nine MLK signed items
I am a humongous fan of what he's done this big fan and over the last seven years
I've collected a lot of things. It's not only MLK. It's a lot of black history. I own a Rosa Parks
Signed and double AC that's not what that is. So it was pretty shocking today how I was called racist
When when I am a student and lover of black history
And it was it was I never expected the reaction that I that I got today
I'm sorry, I'm sorry if people think that a white man can't enjoy black history
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I really am if I'm sorry if people think that a white man
Can't love Martin Luther King, but to me that seems pretty counterintuitive
Wait, wait, if I can't be a fan of his and appreciate everything he's done, how come I own all the stuff
I'm sorry
Sorry, sorry, I just find it cute that I have over nine pieces of MLK game-worn merch
I'm sorry
Okay, great show everyone. Oh, I don't think you've been wrong about lottery ball. Have you ever gotten it right? Nope. Oh
