Yeah.
Welcome to part of my take.
Today is Monday, January 15th.
And it's super wild card weekend.
What?
What?
What?
Take the take the take the playoff.
The playoff. Play off!
Playing for a Lombardi.
Talk about playoffs!
We starred in Houston where Joe Biden-Flacco got confused multiple times and couldn't remember
which team to throw to as father time continues to be undefeated, talking lying dog face pony
soldiers here.
The Texans put Cleveland in the funny papers as Dalton Charles Schultz made the Charlie Browns defense look like a joke and
Speaking of comics Steven Nelson months said
Hey, as he ran back a touchdown for 84 yards Texans fans are in Lala land as Dmitco Ryan Gosling has the upstart team driving to the second round
Texans 45, Browns 14.
What?
In the frozen tundra of Kansas City, it felt like it was 30 below, which was also 2
his quarterback rating.
Speaking of, Tuna, Tiger Viola, got the rest of the dolphins caught up in the net to
get slaughtered.
Rushy condolese a rice preemptively invaded Miami's secondary, scoring a touchdown and
racking up 130 yards.
Meanwhile, Mike McDaniel Day Lewis needs to put down the weed and pick up the meth in
acting to teach his team how to play man football.
Another collapse for the mother-futtering dolphins.
Trees 35 dolphins, seven.
We have a special guest in the Big D.
We're gonna take it down to our reporter
who's on the scene, Henry Lockwood.
This is AI Hank Lockwood.
I'm in the Big D where Jordan Love was in the air.
As Romeo and Juliet Dobb said,
who cares about the age difference to all the haters
who said the Green Bay Packers couldn't win
because they had the youngest team in the league?
Dack Jones needed an Alabama field sobriety test the way he was driving the ball down the field,
hoping to lure future Dallas Cowboys legend Bill Bellichick,
who seems to prefer bad quarterbacks these days.
People are looking at Dac and saying that motherfucker isn't real, just like the lighthouse.
There is a long list of Cowboys playoff collapses.
Enough to make an entire Mount Rushmore, and this one definitely belongs on it,
even though I wouldn't pick it in Mount Rushmore season because I
am sadly very bad at choosing Mount Rushmore's. Packers 48, Cowboys 32.
We finished in Detroit where the Lions had the eye of the tiger.
Den, den, den, den, den, den, den, den, den, den, den, den, den,
Puk on the Kuhn on, tried to kidnap the governor of Michigan's heart,
going for 181 yards in a touchdown.
But it's hard beating golf in the playoffs
when going up against his former team.
As the Detroit Lions, after 34 long years,
have finally won a playoff game.
Congratulations, Detroit.
The Lions 31.
The...
Rams. Congratulations, Detroit. The line 31. The. Rams, 23.

Okay, Super Wild Card weekend, not in the books.
Two-thirds of the way done.
We watched football weekend.
It was pretty great.
It was pretty great.
Most of the game's stonk until the end.
Yeah, the last game was incredible.
We're gonna get to every game.
We're gonna have Hank on Zoom,
his report from Dallas coming up.
Real Hank is going on. Real Hank, because he's going on.
Real Hank, we will talk also about the bills,
Steelers being moved and Max is, he's been waiting,
waiting all weekend to give us his preview of Eagles bucks.
But let's get into it.
Let's talk ball, because it was still,
even the blowout games had storylines
and we'll start chronological order.
Texans 45, Browns 14, Joe Flacco was
turned back into a pumpkin. It was sad to see. The clock struck midnight on Joe Flacco.
It was a great story while it lasted. It was very much a linseanity. We had linseanity
in a bottle. Yep, for Italians and older people. Yes, it was great. And then it kind of
all fell apart. Then Flacco kind of became Flacco. It was, yeah, like the Browns defense was horrific,
which we saw that maybe there was some leaks
on the road this year, but CJ Stravich will get to,
like just carve them up, but it was sad to see Joe Flacco.
Like you thought we talked ourselves in a show,
magical run, Joe Flacco, maybe going to Baltimore, winning a game there.
But yeah, the first pick six, I actually don't think that was a bad, you knew going into
the game that Joe Flacco was going to throw an interception.
You just hope that you would be able to tackle the guy before he ran it back for a touchdown.
The first pick six was like, that wasn't a terrible interception.
It was just you had to tackle him and not give up six points.
The second one was really, really bad.
And it happened in back-to-back plays.
And it was just like all the air came out of the browns from that point on.
It's such a funny feeling when somebody throws a pick six and you know that it's going to be a six
even before they catch it.
That was the second one.
Yeah.
The second one was like, okay, that's just going to be a touchdown for the Texans.
First one was a little bit longer.'s just gonna be a touchdown for the Texans.
First one was a little bit longer.
Nobody was able to catch up to him.
And it was fitting because he's in Houston.
He turned kind of into Matt Shobb in the house of the Texans.
And it was though, like,
Joe Flacco did not do enough for them to win the game,
but the Browns defense was what just like fell apart,
like, because they couldn't stop CJ Shobb.
I know two pick sixes,
but even if you take out the two pick sixes,
the the Texans probably win easily.
Yeah.
Because it felt like CJ Shar could do whatever he wanted.
Yeah, the Browns defense on the road has stunk pretty much all year,
almost all year long.
And they're how their home defense has been like the best in the league by far.
Yeah, but then you add in the road thing and it becomes like,
we probably should've seen it coming a little bit more than we did.
But we got we got caught up in Flax and we we got caught up in Flax out the maybe maybe
a trend here.
Jim Schwartz and Dan Quinn being like, I don't really want to move.
Yeah.
So I'll just we'll just submit a really bad performance and then next year we'll try to
win a suit.
So was it was Jim Schwartz actually getting those same discussions around his name that
Dan Quinn was.
I feel like he wasn't because no, I don't think he was.
He was bad enough as a head coach where people still remember like say what you want about
Dan Quinn, but he got to he he was up 28 to three in a super bowl at one point.
Yeah. And then yada yada yada.
Jim Schwartz doesn't, uh, he doesn't strike me as a guy who's like grade it like the shaking
hands and and playing nicey nice.
No, no, he doesn't, he doesn't kiss ass.
He probably just tells you how he's one of those guys,
you know, everyone has that one friend who's like,
I just tell it like this, like no dude, you might be a dick.
Kinda makes you an asshole sometimes.
My problem is I'm just brutally honest all the time.
I just, sorry, I just can't hold my tongue
and I have to tell the truth.
Yeah, they always say like, you know me,
I couldn't keep my mouth shut, right?
Well no, you can, you can, you can. You definitely have to keep your mouth shut. Yeah, I sure it's probably not, he's not enough of a kiss like, you know me, I couldn't keep my mouth shut, right? Well, no, you can, you can, you can.
You can't keep your mouth shut.
So yeah, Schwartz probably not,
he's not enough of a kiss as he eats ass,
he's not kissing and he's probably not gonna be a head coach.
I wouldn't imagine next year.
I also feel like they're probably,
how old is Jim Schwartz now?
He's definitely not being his late 50s.
He's definitely not too old to be a head coach,
but he's got a lot of football years on.
57, they'll be in. He's been in. Okay, 50s. It would take a special type of franchise to be a head coach, but he's got a lot of football years on it. 57, okay.
50s.
It would take a special type of franchise to be like, you know what, 57 year old Jim Schwartz,
let's give it a shot.
Yeah.
And who knows what's going to happen with Mike McCarthy and Dallas because we're recording
this at 11 o'clock, central time, after the games are over, that domino might fall pretty
quickly.
And then depending on what happens with the Eagles,
those might be two big coaching openings
that we didn't necessarily see coming,
which would probably be way more attractive
than some of the other ones that are out there.
Yeah. So Schwartz might get one of the like second tier jobs.
And as it goes for the Browns,
you know, we had a Zoopie who is a great video editor
and producer here at Barre Stool,
and then our friend Jeff T. Lo
We're sitting front and center for the game and
I could sense sadness, but I also think there was a feeling of like this how are we even here?
They made the playoffs with their JV team this right like they they were saying to each other at the end of the game
They're like next time we watch Brown's football Nick Chauble be playing stuff like that
So I mean they were they did have like the most injuries.
And to get to play it whenever he gets to play else, and you lose in that fashion,
it sucks. But in the like suck meter, I feel like the Browns were playing on some borrowed
money. And it was like a very fun season that looked like it had ended like 17 different
times. There's there's different points throughout the brown season, whereas like that's a wrap.
This guy got injured.
Our entire offensive line got injured.
Deshawn Watson got injured.
Oh, Miles Garrett had got banged up and he's playing through something.
Nick Chubs out.
And they were still there.
You'd wish for the Browns fans that they could have continued the ride, but I feel like
the future is bright as long as you figure out a way to just have the show wants to never play.
Yeah, have him for whatever reason.
Have it work out where he doesn't have to throw the football and you can have somebody
that steps in for a salary of like $600,000 a year every season taking to the playoffs.
And they are going to get kind of the most additions in free agency this off season.
Just getting all their own players back.
And with Miles Garrett, you can even say like, yeah, the defense is stuck.
But also Miles Garrett has been injured for the last like month,
month and a half.
Yeah.
So he hasn't really done shit since Thanksgiving.
Right.
And he's hopefully going to be fully healthy ready to go next year.
And as long as they keep Jeremiah Ousu Kouromoa,
I say that right, Jake?
You nailed that.
You nailed it.
Pretty much.
As long as, as pretty much.
How do I say, Jake?
I have. Oh, so you don't know no, I have it right here. No, but planning it's like PFT did that
I just made a print every name PFT did it off the dome and you set off off your dome that it was incorrect
So yeah, cuz it's core mo don't check. What do you say?
Korma? No, I said Kormo Kormah, I'm giving you a plus.
Thanks.
But as long as they get, as long as they wrap him up
along through, that dude is awesome.
He's awesome.
The Browns also, very weird year because the pendulum swung
as far as it could swing in terms of rooting for a quarterback
into Sean Watson that you kind of always are like,
ah, he's a really bad guy.
To rooting for like the greatest story ever in Joe Flacco
and the guy who everyone wants to root for.
Yeah, and now that like I feel like there's a little bit of
a shit we gotta go, yeah, Dishon Watson's better
than Joe Flacco right now, maybe, maybe.
But you also have to go back to rooting for Dishon Watson
after rooting for the nicest guy in the world in Joe Flacco.
Well, fun fact, Joe Flacco has now thrown as many touchdown passes
for the Browns as to Sean Watson has.
That is a fun fact.
Is that a fun fact?
And this was, you got the full Joe Flacco experience
because the old debate on whether or not he's elite
goes back to Joe having games and stretches
that he puts it together like we saw, where he's just like,
oh, fuck, this guy can throw the football a mile.
And then he'll have a game like this where he just pretty much quits after the first
court. It's like, okay, it's not here today.
Yeah.
This is, I'm not elite today, but my eliteness will come back in.
It's balling your cat.
Yeah.
So being elite and not elite at the same time.
Yeah.
So I don't know.
I hope that's not the last time we saw Joe Flacco play football because that would be a bummer
because we like watching Joe Flacco play football.
He needs to run it back.
He needs to run it back. I got Joe. You got one more on you.
You do. Absolutely. Some team with a good offensive line should have Joe Flacco.
Why isn't he like the backup quarterback in San Francisco or just the backup quarterback,
like the first one taken, like a one-starter goes down.
Yep. Joe should be the first domino.
He should just be on waiver wires.
Yeah. Yeah. Uh, okay. We got to talk about the Texans though, because this was the Texans coronation as next up. I think that's officially, it's
officially happened. We'll see how the rest of the playoffs go for them. But the conversation
is now when you talk about like the AFC and it's burrow and it's Allen and it's my homes
and it's Lamar. CJ Stroud in the Texans and how good they are this quickly is insane. Like, and it
CJ Stroud was incredible. That defense was also incredible. Will Anderson was out of this
world good. Derek Stingley just completely shut down a Marry Cooper. Like they have a bunch
of young guys. And I think the Texans are next up. I think the team that everyone's like,
Hey, the future, the next five, 10 years, you're gonna have to deal with the Texans.
I'm gonna say this,
Sky's the limit for CJ Stroud.
How about that?
Oh, listen, he was so, so good.
And he, it's crazy because it really is like,
you can look at stats and the stats are very, very good.
But it's such an eye test with CJ Stroud.
We'll have like three or four times a game
where he's so calm and he
stands in there and he'll be like back footed getting smashed by a defensive lineman and
he'll throw an absolute rope to like the perfect placement.
Yeah.
And like, how is this guy seeing this?
He processes it so fast, fuck that stupid test.
And the Texans like that was they just demolished the Browns.
It wasn't even close. It was it was close for that first half. And then the second half like, that was, they just demolished the Browns. It wasn't even close.
It was close for that first half.
And then the second half started, it was over.
He throws the ropes, but he also throws the prettiest little touch passes.
Yeah.
He's got such, he's got such, he's got such good touch to Sean Watson probably want some massage from.
And it was insane, the little like buckets that he was dropping these high passes into.
Like, just let your guy run under it.
If your guy has a step on another guy, throw it up in the air and it's it was beautiful to watch and I think now
It's our responsibility as media figures to set some unrealistic expectations for CJ Stroud what what would be
Over two and a half super boys. How many super balls can he win in order for his career to not be a disappointment over two and a half
Super Bowl. Yeah, you got hammering the old you got to get three or else you suck or else this or else you should have been
Bad from the get go, but you were so good at the start now you have to get three Super Bowls. You have to play in Houston for
13 years. Yeah 13 or 14 years probably. Yeah, three super bowls and probably 11 probals.
But it is crazy though to consider that like,
okay, so you traded to Sean Watson,
who again, it needs repeating like,
the to Sean Watson shit,
the timeline is to Sean Watson kind of wanted out before that.
Yeah, it was weird how it went down,
like remember when the report first came out
about like all these masseuses,
it was like right after toishon Watson made it known
that he wanted, he was playing our ball with the Texans
and then these allegations came out,
we're like, what the fuck?
So they're probably related.
Something happened that was correlated.
Yeah, but Dishon Watson wanted out.
He was your franchise quarterback.
You thought you were gonna be in a great place for 10 years.
You were next up.
Yeah. Like it was, hey Lamar, Dishon, my homes, all these guys, the AFC,
then you're back to just being the worst team in the league.
And just like that, it's why the NFL is the best
because it can, all it takes is just one draft pick.
A couple draft picks, because like I said,
Stingley and Will Anderson were incredible,
but a couple draft picks and you're,
the fortunes of your franchise can completely turn.
And that's what happened in's what's happening in Houston.
They have the right coach.
They have an incredible quarterback.
They have a young defense.
The sky is the limit.
Yeah.
Like you Texans fans went from the depths of hell to back up on top almost instantly.
And now the AFC that was going to be Trevor Lawrence's division.
Not so fast.
Yeah.
I mean, all it took was two years of Davis Mills.
Yeah.
And that's all you had to suffer.
Who got in in this game?
Who got in for a little bit.
Yeah, so you had to suffer through two years of Davis Mills.
Now you're back and the future is like the brightest it possibly could be as a Texans fan.
And even if you lose in the next round, which I'm not saying that you're going to,
because I think I've learned a lesson about CJ Stroud,
which is I'm not going
to doubt him.
I'm not going to doubt him ever.
I think he's like that fucking good.
He is that good and not to brag, but we called it.
Yeah.
Stroud boys stand up boys.
I actually think CJ Stroud, you could make the argument now.
I went and looked back.
Might have the most impressive rookie year for a quarterback.
So there's obviously some names out there like Justin Herbert was very good as rookie year.
His team wasn't great.
Kyler.
Brock, yeah.
Brock, he got to the rock.
Rob, he took the chip game kind of.
Yeah.
RG3, incredible rookie year.
Russ, Cam, Big Ben won a playoff game his rookie year.
He also went 13 and 0.
And Damirino also had an incredible rookie year.
But he, CJ Stroud now is 23 touchdowns,
five interceptions, 4,000 yards plus.
And he has a playoff win.
Like I think he might,
he's in the conversation for best rookie year
for a quarterback.
Yeah, I would agree with that.
I mean, being around for RG3's rookie year,
he had like eight weeks where he was unbelievable.
Yeah. And then it ended in a much more horrific fashion than, then
I could have ever imagined. Cam Newton had an awesome rookie year. Cam Newton had an awesome
rookie year. He was, he had 21 touchdowns, 17 interceptions. So didn't take care of the
ball the same way. And his team was six and 10 like siege. And I know, obviously, if you
play on a bad team, if you're high draft pick, you're going to probably play on a bad team.
But C.J. Stroud has them, yeah, with a playoff win now, big, gentle playoff a bad team, if you're high draft pick, you're probably playing a bad team, but CJA Stroud has them with a playoff win now.
Big Gen playoff wins actually because last week was a playoff game.
True.
In fact, Big Ben's rookie year was so funny too when he went 13 and 0.
13 and 0.
His teammates publicly questioned his ability to lead the team when he took it over.
They're like, well, no, I'm not excited.
Big Ben's starting for us.
Why would I be excited about that?
He's a rookie.
And then they were just like Ben just hand the ball off.
Yeah, every single play just hand the ball.
Yeah, he had 2600 yards and 13 games.
And 17 touchdowns, 11 interception.
But he won a playoff game.
But yeah, I think it's a real discussion
that he, by the way, I should say,
Cam did break the record.
He had 14 rushing touchdowns of rookie year.
In terms of play in the regular season,
and now winning a playoff game as a rookie quarterback,
I think CJ Stroud might be it.
I think the conversation might end with CJ Stroud
as the best rookie season in its totality in the NFL.
Yeah, I'd be so pumped if I was a Texans fan, so pumped.
Don't let anybody tell you anything.
No, no.
You have our full permission to just be
like the biggest dickhead all week.
Yeah, if you work with somebody
That's a Titans fan if you work with someone who's a cold fan or really any team in the AFC besides the chiefs and the bills and the Ravens
Talk all the shit. Yeah, just don't do it real dickhead. Don't do it with any Astros paraphernalia on no
Because that's the you open yourself up remember. Yeah, like I think like oh, I kind of feel bad for rockets fans
Cuz James Harden fucked them over as a franchise. It's like wait, but the Astros
We'll just keep it to Texas. Yeah, no Astros Jersey is no Ted Cruz hats and then you should be good to go
Yeah, Texans couple notes on
Funny notes on the broadcast. I know your friend was calling the game
They did a great job. He did a great job. A couple notes, though.
And I don't think it was his fault.
He's fed a lot of stuff.
It did make me laugh when he said that they talked to Nico Collins and asked him what the
difference was between last year and this year, and he's cited yoga, not going from Davis
Mills to CJ Stratt.
But yoga.
But yoga, he's more flexible.
Yoga definitely helps.
He's more flexible.
The quarterback plays the same, but he's but yoga. He's more flexed. Yoga definitely help is more flexible. The quarterback
plays the same, but he's he's able to stretch his joints out. Seem like a very obvious
CJ Strouds record back now. Yeah, Namaste. Yeah. And then the other one that was funny was and
and this is I hate to do this because Michigan fans have had a hell of a week, but it was very
funny when they said on the broadcast CJ CJ Stroud, he stepped up his game
in his two biggest games in college career,
and they cited the Utah Rose Bowl
and the Georgia loss in the playoff just completely.
The Michigan loss.
Just pretending to be too Michigan lost.
Well, postseason.
Yeah, but still, like you can't say the biggest game.
I would say Ohio State is a Utah roseball
I would actually make the argument that the Ohio State Michigan game is a postseason game
Yeah, I mean the last few years. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so those were funny though
Oh, but but to his defense that Utah Ohio State game was awesome. That wasn't awesome
It was so good. That was a great game and the Georgia game was great
But it was funny because Michigan fans are like wait what you can't yeah, you can't say that he steps up his game in the big moments and then just forget that game. He's so good
He's so good. I want that. I want that so bad so bad. How much how much do you think it would take for the Texans to trade
CJ Stroud right now?
Okay, so I had a hypothetical pack. Yeah, this debate last week like how many teams say no? Yeah, but I'm saying what what is the hypothetical package
It's CJ Stroud. I think it's like my homes and three first round picks Wait, last week, how many teams say no? Yeah, but I'm saying, what is the hypothetical package
for CJ Stroud?
I think it's, my home's in three first round picks.
My home's in two first round packs.
It is in his first year.
You have another three years to build an entire team.
Like, your window is completely open now.
You can go spend all this money, stack your roster.
You don't have to pay CJ Stroud for another three years.
I think, I don't think that there's a
package you could put together. He's that good. I think you'd say no, I want a guy. Yeah, even when we
get to the Packers game and Jordan Love has been, I think their numbers are actually almost identical
today. It was like four yards off. Yeah, they were they were exact same completions and everything.
It was yes. Jordan Love was 16 for 21, 272 yards,
three touchdowns.
CJ Stroud was 16 for 21, 274 yards, three touchdowns.
But even Jordan Love, you have to pay,
like he's now, you have to pay.
Yeah.
CJ Stroud is the rare, it's crazy.
A true freshman.
I didn't mention Andrew Locke also had a good rookie year.
He had a very good year.
But yeah, let him to the playoffs.
This is, and who knows?
I mean, they're probably, although I'm thinking back to it,
like they played the Ravens, I think, week one.
So was CJA Strauss first start.
And I remember the Ravens won by, I think it was like 26-9 or something,
but I remember thinking like, ooh, the Texans kind of stayed in this game a little bit.
I'm done doubting CJ Straub.
It's also a good reminder going in next year, which actually we should probably set a reminder
for ourselves about this one.
Don't judge rookie quarterbacks on how they play in the preseason.
Yeah.
Or first game.
Or first month.
Yeah, he was not very good at this.
Or first three years.
Yeah.
Do you guys want it?
We want?
Yeah, yeah, because we might there's a good chance that big and I both have rookie quarterbacks. have rookie quarterbacks. Yeah, so yeah, can you remind us like, hey, don't judge them.
Unless it's like, but yeah, if they play it's good,
if it's good, if it's good, then yes, overreact, please.
Yeah, then you have to overreact.
Yeah, remind us to overreact actually,
if they, if they, if they complete a pass.
This also, it really is like, I want it so bad and it makes me think about my own situation,
probably makes you think about your own situation as well.
PFT like, seeing CJ Straublake football, that's a no doubt guy.
You don't have to, we've had the discussion many times.
If you ever have to ask yourself and or convince yourself even a little bit, the answer is no.
Yeah, because CJ Strauboud, there is no debate.
There is no like, oh, is he, is he not?
No, he is.
We see it with our own two eyes.
I wonder if David Tepper watched this game.
You think you did?
No, probably not.
I don't think you did.
Oh, I was one off.
25-9 was the final score week one
when the Ravens played the Texans.
That might be the worst situation
you get thrown into as a rookie too. You're very first game. Yeah, the Ravens. Go on the road to Baltimore.
It's a Baltimore. Have fun. It's gonna be a fun game.
It was a gummy. Yeah. Oh, that was a gummy.
Yeah. Great. They're haunting us even in.
You remember every gummy. He's got the pictures right behind him.
I can actually see the CJ Stroud one. That's a different one.
Oh, do we have a line yet for this game?
Who's the line is it anyway?
What's the spread?
I'm going to say Baltimore Ravens seven and a half.
Eight.
Yeah, we don't have a line.
Can we find a line?
Can you find a line?
Is this game?
Well, oh, no, it's not set.
It's not set.
It's not set.
Oh, yeah.
It's only one set game, which is Packers Niners.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which that has to be like Niners 10 or something.
Yeah. It's nine and a half.
Okay. So congrats to the Texans.
Sorry to Brown's fans.
Also Bobby Slowick probably going to get a job.
Yes, Slowick.
He's going to get a lot of interviews.
But does he do a Ben Johnson where he's like, you know what?
Maybe I should stay.
Maybe like there's what? CJ Stroud going into next season
is gonna be probably the fourth or fifth
like odds for the MVP.
Yeah, it won't be that crazy.
Like so you'd be like, oh, maybe I'll just be off
in this corner to the MVP.
If I were Bobby Sloke, I would just keep turning
down head coaching jobs until they can't stand anymore.
And they're like, this guy has to be awesome.
Right.
Because he said no to head coaching jobs so many times.
Right.
That's the strategy right there.
And do we go Ryan's awesome.
But then you never take one.
You just stay a coordinator.
Also, we should get credit for that.
Because I think we were throwing do we go Ryan's name
around before he became a head coach.
Yep.
He should be a head coach.
Next stop, yeah.
It was our own runny rule. Internal. Mm hmm. She had thrown it out. Oh, yeah, you have to throw out a defensive
head. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. Just to show everyone that we, you know, no ball defensive
and offensive coaches the same. I think it's about time that we, we, you saw almost interview
more defensive head coaches than offensive head because they've had it so bad for so long.
It's just a really does show if you hire defensive head coach, it's not the worst thing,
you just gotta nail the offensive coordinator.
And that's really all it is.
And preferably you have to have an offensive coordinator
that has really good future offensive coordinator friends
that he comes along with.
Yes, but that's it.
Because a lot of defensive head coach,
like, oh man, why are we hiring other defensive head coach?
Well, if he gets a great offensive coordinator,
who the fuck cares?
Yeah, so if you get a great offensive coordinator,
then you have to be prepared to lose them in one or two years.
That's a really good thing.
And it's an awesome problem to have.
I would love to be in that situation.
Because we keep losing it out the other end.
Yeah.
When they get fired.
OK, next game, chiefs, 26 Dolphin 7.
Oh man.
The Candy-S uniform showed up in a big, big, big way.
It was pants were a big, blinking Aqua warning sign being like not, not ready for negative
30 degree wind chills right now.
That was, it was like invading Russia in the wintertime.
It was so bad.
The dolphins are so bad.
They are, the game would have probably been a little bit different if it was in the friendly
confines of Miami where it was probably going to be 60 degrees.
But you just took one look at two when you went on the field.
Yeah.
Like, oh, this guy doesn't want to be here.
And I don't blame him.
You should not be outside when it's that cold.
But I also don't think that it would have been different in Miami.
The dolphins finished this season, seven games versus playoff teams.
Actually, let me do it the other way around.
11 games versus non-playoff teams. Actually, let me do it the other way around 11 games versus non-playoff team. Yeah. They were 10 in one plus 196 point differential seven games versus playoff
teams. They were one in six minus 110 point differential. Yep. They just could. They were
always this team. I think it would have been different if it was Miami. I don't think it
would have been maybe they don't win. Yeah. the score more because meekle harman wouldn't have just stopped running routes five times there that was weird there were some players
On both sides of the ball that just didn't want to be outside. Yeah, you're like we should I want to go home
And it was meekle harman that gave up on a route. There was a perfect pass
He thought he got held right so he just stopped and looked for a call in the middle of the play
And then there was Elliott on on the dolphin side that just did not look like he wanted to tackle anybody at all and again
I don't blame you like that it probably sucked being out in that weather
But it definitely affected you know who it didn't affect at all was Andy Reed. Yeah Andy Reed with the icicle mustache
It looked like he just finished off frosty the snowman
It was it was a the one of the best football guys sights of all time.
Just getting icicles building up on your upper lip
and you're so focused on calling plays.
Yeah, they don't even wipe your mouth off.
He probably, I mean, he needed to get a full towel
when he got into the locker room.
Probably blow dry. He probably blow dried his mustache.
Stripping everywhere.
So the question is, what do the dolphins do?
Because I like to, but this has now been a couple years.
And obviously last year, he didn't,
I mean, Skylar Thompson played better in the cold
in the one playoff game.
Yeah.
The dolphins played in.
It's been 20 years since they've won a playoff game.
Do you say, well, we had so many defensive injuries,
which is true.
The dolphins were just a shell of themselves defensively by the end of the year.
They lost like their best players on almost every single level.
Or do you say we got to figure something out because and maybe it's Mike McDaniel
play calling and like Mike McDaniel was he's a great coach.
But like how many how many stupid screens and like they just don't have that second
level of like, hey, the elements are here. We got to just run the ball down your throat
or we got to play a different way. They're even the passing plays that they're running
like you're saying all the screens out to the side. They were afraid of the middle of
field, which isn't like the dolphins have been all year long. Right. They have thrown
the ball to the middle of the field a little bit. But in the chief. I have it I had it. It was incredible. So I we got to give them credit like they were,
they were all over the play. I have to assume that there was something about the conditions
that made him not want to throw the ball like a normal human being would. But you can't. So,
so is the answer for the dolphins that they have to get home from the advantage? Yes, yes,
the only way that they're going to win spin zone. Uh, losing the division was actually good for you.
True. Now you get to play an easier schedule next year, which should be.
Which should be.
Now, maybe you can play 13 teams that don't make the playoff.
Yeah.
You get home field advantage of the Super Bowl.
Yeah, I don't know what the answer is for the dolphins, but it does feel.
I would assume, you know, you had a pretty successful season.
You were playing for the division in the last week of the season, which was actually kind
of a collapse.
And you shouldn't have been in there.
But your team is good.
You have good players,
but it feels like if they just run exactly the same thing back,
they're gonna just have the same thing happen
when they play a team that has like more grit
and piss and vinegar too.
Like Mike Vraybel in the fourth quarter of a game.
If they'd close out that game against Tennessee,
might be a different story.
It would have been hosting the bills.
Probably, yeah.
Yeah, so I, yeah, I don't know if you blow,
they're not in blow-it-up mode.
They're not, but it doesn't feel like...
It would take balls to blow.
I feel like Mike McDaniel is too nice of a guy
and he's probably close enough friends
with some of the players on the team,
or at least they've formed that relationship,
which is good that you want a coach to have,
but I feel like he doesn't have the balls
to blow it up right now.
It's not blow it up.
It's definitely not blow it up
because you can't blow up a team
that has that much talent
and they won what, 10 games, 11 games, 10 games,
11 and six.
11 and six.
You can't blow up an 11 win team,
especially when it feels like they're on the rise,
but what are the tweaks that make you
not be a team that can't play other good teams?
I don't know the answer to that.
I mean, you've got to add some pieces and free agency.
You've got to add some toughness.
I know that sounds very, we're like minimizing everything, but the dolphins do lack toughness.
Yeah, how could you add toughness in one off season?
Mmm, lichy and cognito.
Yeah, bring them back.
Bring them back.
That's actually a very good way to add toughness add. Sometimes you got to go backwards to go forward.
Bill Romanowski, linebackers coach. I love that. Danny Woodhead running back
consultant. Mm-hmm. These are ways to bring toughness. Yeah, John Coon, just have
John Coon in the building. Yeah, just to hang out. Just have Frank in there and just rip
every player. Yeah, change the logo. Yeah, change the logo. Bring back the dolphin that's willing to helmet.
Yeah.
And then put the dolphin on the helmet of that dolphin.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, they need to do something different.
Something's gotta change.
That's the name of the dolphin.
Yeah, TD.
I knew he was stolen,
and he spent her pet's attack there.
That's facts.
Well, his name was snowflake in that movie.
That's facts.
Bring back Ray Finkle.
Also, okay, here's one easy one they could do.
Get Chase Claypool off your team.
Yeah.
Okay, so Chase Claypool, here are the numbers.
The Steelers, the season they traded Chase Claypool,
before they traded them, they were two in six,
after they traded them, they were seven in two.
The Bears then got Chase Claypool. Before they got Chase Claypool, they were seven and two. The Bears then got Chase Claypool.
Before they got Chase Claypool, they were three and five.
While having Chase Claypool on the team,
they were one and 13.
The minute they got rid of them, they were six and five.
One and 13.
And then the dolphins started the season six and two
traded for Chase Claypool, finished five and five.
Yeah, probably gotta get them off your team.
Not good.
Probably got to get that might be the simple fix.
What is the, what's his career war?
I don't know.
I want to, I mean, I want to know which is plus minus.
The one and 13 stretch with the Bears with Chase Claypool.
And I don't think he was even active for the one
which was against the Reds.
Yeah, he commanders this year.
He was out there.
Yeah, here's what you do in free agency.
You add Chris Jones.
Oh, you just get Chris Jones from the chiefs.
That would actually be really nice.
That would be very, very smart
if you could get him on the team.
What about this?
Let me just dingle this one out here.
Dingle, I like that.
I don't think I've heard that before.
Yeah, dangle?
No, I'm dangle.
I'm dangle.
I'm dangle.
I'm dangle.
I'm dangle.
It's like I'm ringing a bell
and I'm seeing if you react. Dingle. It's like Hank in a cold pool, a dingo. I'm dingoing. I'm dingoing. I'm dingoing. It's like I'm ringing a bell and I'm seeing if you react.
Dingo.
It's like a hank in a cold pool, a dingo.
Yeah, dingo, dingo.
Kirk Cousins.
Yeah.
Mike Dolphin.
Ooh.
I don't hate it.
I think I would kick the tires on Kirk.
I really like to and I wish it didn't go that way in the last two games.
Because the last two games, the last two games the you know the dolphins
offense in the second half against the bills and then all Saturday night just did
nothing you know it would be really and one broken play at a tyriek you'd be
really good in that offense Joe Flacco.
Hmm Joe Flacco would be Cheetah would not be able to outrun a Joe Flacco pass.
I actually know exactly what they need you this is a real one because we thrown out
some fake ones all over Chene you. This is a real one because we thrown out some fake ones.
Although Richie and Cognito was a real one.
Yeah, the dolphins desperately need like a big athletic
tight end like a like a dude.
Yeah, it feels like that is missing from their game.
Kind of like what the bills had we for you know,
before they got Dawson Knox and Dalton King Cade.
Now they have that middle, middle of the field.
But like they need one of those guys.
Trade up. Maybe run the be able to run the ball
trade up catch the ball in the middle Brock powers. Yeah, it does feel like if they had that their offense would would be a little more cohesive
because it's a dolphins are are pretty much predicated on like you got to hit those big shots and on Saturday night
They were they were not yeah, and the running game was so good this year. That's what makes it even more frustrated. Yeah, but they told us they never
Yeah, they never had like a physical power run. Yeah, yeah, and H. Yeah, H.A. was so good. No, there's there's
There's a lot of hurt. I want to see training camp fights from the dolphin sex here. I want to see just an angry football team
Yeah, if they're angry, then they could win a Super Bowl. They should build a
An igloo or a verse dome. Yeah, practice in the Colt,
do training camp in mystery Alaska.
Yeah, I like that.
All right, we got to talk about the chiefs, so.
The dangerous chiefs who are very dangerous.
That was basically everything that all chiefs stands
like just wait, just wait, just wait,
or she writes, just wait, worked.
Because he had eight catches for 130 yards in a touchdown
which I think that combo was a record for all of 24 hours until Pukin and Kua played his first
playoff game. That was a rookie record. But Patrick Mahomes is now 12 and 3 in the playoffs.
12 and 3 in the playoffs. He's played six seasons. First season he was, yeah, I'm not counting because he didn't play that week,
17 games. 12 and 3 in the playoffs. Patrick Mahomes has more playoff wins than
Troy Ackman. Patrick Mahomes has the same amount of playoff wins as Aaron Rodgers
and he's one playoff win away from tying Ben Rathasperger and Brett Farve. Patrick Mahomes again, 12 playoff wins in six seasons.
Peyton Mann and got his 12th playoff win in his 17th and final season.
John L.A. got his 12th playoff win in his 16th and final season.
He has 12 playoff wins in six seasons.
He's 12 and three.
It's insane.
Every single year, it's Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs.
Dude on the road though, Pat. Oh, we should on the road. He's an arrowhead merchant. We should have put a disclaimer here
for all the chiefs fans that think we never say anything nice about Patrick Mahomes. Please don't listen to this next
clip because
It will just ruin everything that you've thought about. The running disclaimer for Patrick Mahomes on this show is that like everything that we say, every word that comes
out of my mouth, it could be prefaced by Patrick Mahomes
is the best quarterback in the NFL, but,
and then I say whatever I'm gonna say anyway.
Right.
Like, because it's understood he's the best quarterback in the NFL.
Again, six seasons, 12 playoff wins.
It's not even like a question anymore.
Like he, he obviously people will expect him to get to Brady in terms of
soup bowls, but he's going to pass some of the best quarterbacks of all time in his six
or seventh season. Yeah, it's insane. And there's a reason why it hasn't had to go on the
roads because he's really fucking good in the regular season too. Yeah, so they don't
have to worry about that. Did you see after the game, the exchange between Tuah and Patrick
Mahomes? Yeah. Tuah went up to Patrick my homes and he said hey man great game
You want to do a Jersey swap can I have your Jersey and my homes looked at him was like
You know what I'm supposed to give this to somebody else hang on
You know what I'm supposed to get somebody else. Can I send you one instead? So
He's gonna mail to a different jersey.
You have to have that lockdown.
You can't ask for it after a playoff loss
where you get completely embarrassed.
Well, there's that, but also you have to know
that if you do ask for it, you're gonna get the jersey.
Yeah.
It's like asking a hot chick to homecoming.
You have to know that the answer is yes
before you embarrass her.
You can't propose unless you know the answer is gonna to be yes exactly and he did it on the jumbo
tron he did on the jumbo tron and my homes he was polite but he said I've already promised this
is somebody else I just you see that you should ask for the helmet has got cracked out so that is
fucking tough right there about the homes it was so cold outside that their equipment was breaking
his helmet shatters and he keeps playing and they're like, hey, no, you have to get your helmet switched out.
And that right there is why I'm not a football player.
Yeah.
I could not do that.
My helmet went to shatters.
Yeah, too much.
I would have been sitting on the side.
Well, you would have avoided the big hit.
You'd be in the end zone.
My helmet would be on the heated chair.
You'd be in the hotline.
Yeah, you'd be taken off because you just scored another 99 yard touchdown.
Yeah, the, um, it's crazy though, because the chiefs are so alive
in these playoffs.
Yeah.
You would not stun me whatsoever after all this happened this
season.
It's still Patrick Mahomes.
He's still the guy that you trust more than any other
quarterback in the NFL.
But you saw a couple of those passes at Kelsey.
Kelsey had a couple of big drops.
Kelsey looks old, but for she rice is going to start being good.
Like for she rice has been good.
I should I should say that he has he has come along this season and you've seen it.
Like he has grown a lot as a receiver.
So for she rice is like, now is my coming out party.
Now I'm going to be a world beater.
Like that is what their offices needed.
And and Pacheco just runs so fucking
Pacheco was built for that game last night. Yeah, Pacheco weather. Pacheco actually like I think there was a dolphins
Didn't want to tackle him just seeing him stop around. Yeah
He was the only one that was getting any traction in the ground because he was just stomping like tiny little knives and two
Yeah, he probably broke the coils on me. I love it when you're he just moons to he curb stomps the ground
Yeah, when he runs and it's it's very funny because sometimes he does it for no real reason.
Like the best, the best is when Isaiah Pichekko
gets in the open field and then he just starts stomping
the ground upright while he's running away from somebody.
Like yeah, that's not how physics work.
You're supposed to be like leaning forward and running.
But yeah, he was, he was ready for the cold
and I think that Rishi Rice is, he's the one guy on the chiefs
where he's the one pass catcher
that hasn't fucked up badly enough this year
that it's cost him a game.
Yeah.
He's been at least consistent across the board.
And he's young.
Yeah, everybody else has been like,
well, that guy can't trust him.
He has an excuse.
All these other guys don't have an excuse.
I think I trust Rishi Rice.
Right.
I don't trust M.V.S.
Travis Kelsey, he's still a hard man, I don't trust.
He's still very good.
Travis Kelsey's still really good,
but he has a lot of drops now.
Yeah, tired fingers.
Yeah, very tired fingers.
Would you think about the box, Jake?
I saw the swag surfing.
Yeah, Taylor, was it into that?
Yeah, the box was blurred out a little bit.
Yeah, it was very cold.
It was a blur box.
It was foggy, foggy was foggy, foggy glass.
Yeah, but for the kids at home.
She wore a jacket that was made by Kyle Eustrex's wife.
Oh yeah, Eustrex.
Can you please say her name?
Say her name, Jake, yeah.
I have to look it up.
I will say that.
I said it.
It Christian Eustrex's wife.
Yeah.
Okay, Christian Eustrex's wife.
She makes everyone's jackets and shout out Kyle
because he's right or die.
He was just replying to everyone online
I think Kyle made by my wife. Yeah, he might know sick. He might be the wife guy of the year
Yeah, he was replying to every tweet that was going viral
He was just like yeah, my wife made that and then he would tag his wife and everyone yeah
He made and on the one jacket for someone on the line side
Yeah, she made a little whatever that guy's no lot there. There It is okay tiller lotner. I don't know who he is
team Jacob
What?
What's it called Twilight Twilight? Oh, okay?
Right Jacob. Oh, but yeah, so she made she made that jacket today and then
Ju Shek was
Gassing her up to yes, he was like yes. She did this one too. Yeah, I want one. Yeah
I want one too. We'll be the police Kyle. Who would be the funniest player to get a jacket
like that made of?
James Winston.
I would like one that's just Justin Fields and Kale Williams.
Split, do one.
Yeah, like both of them.
Yeah, I want one that's just a second overall pick.
I'll take first overall pick.
Back to back, first overall pick.
Yeah, give me that.
Ray Lewis will be pretty funny.
Yeah, that way. If you see somebody wearing the, uh, the Ray Lewis custom jacket, run. Yes,
run. They will fuck you up. Yes. Um, but yeah, the chiefs are as alive as, I mean, that
was, I wasn't asking. And they, they did it defensively. They did it with my homes,
being my homes. I still just can't get over 12 playoff wins in six seasons as a joke.
Yeah. I mean, Brady's the only one who's come
Clot like Brady
I think I think Brady surpassed it because he obviously won three super balls in his first four years
So it really is Brady them homes like he will pass everyone he will he's he's four away from Montana
Like it's crazy. He's he's out of this world good and and just when you when you talk about big playoff moments
He's the number one trust guy. It must be so so nice to be Kansas City fan. Yeah, damn
He even had that big run. He does those runs in the playoffs where like he gets faster
How much of a home runs in the playoffs have never not worked? Yeah, they just always work and they always and they always go for
About seven to nine yards farther than you think they're going to go for.
He's also the best quarterback at running out of bounds. Yeah. When he sticks the ball out,
he'll just like tuck it out at the last second. Yeah.
Always gets you an extra like yard, yard and a half at the very end of it. And he'll also do a thing
where he'll like run to the sideline and then teams will assume that he's going to go out of bounds.
Then he cuts back in. Yeah. And doesn't get hit at all and goes down his own terms. Yeah.
Really good. Really good performance by my homes.
I think the chief, we said like a few weeks ago
that the chiefs are in a position
where now they actually do have doubters.
Well, yeah, but now they can actually harvest all that,
you're right, all that doubt.
And because they've done it in the past
when they've had to invent people that say that they can't win,
now they're 100% right when they say
that everyone's overlooking them.
And they have been overlooked.
And the people who do that are just as dumb as the people
who decide to pick the Broncos,
the Raiders, the Chargers to when they ask you
west every single August.
Yes.
Yes, the chiefs could lose next week.
They could lose the answer.
The championship is losing the Super Bowl.
I'm not going to be the one who's being like,
the chiefs are dead and we should count them out of the playoffs because it's Patrick Mahol. You know what's
crazy is if you if you talk about like is this season a disappointment and for the Browns
it's not for the Texans it's not for Dolphins it is for the chiefs depending how they play
next week I could see a world where the chiefs lose in a close game and Kansas City fans
aren't like super dejected about it
because you know what you have,
you know what you have to fix.
I do think though the chiefs are,
and there's a compliment to them,
they are kind of in that Patriot zone
where it's like, AFC Championship
is like marked on their calendar every year.
They're also in the zone.
What are they been to?
Five straight, six straight.
You're right.
You're in the right straight.
You don't want to waste.
Ever since 2018.
Yes, so six straight. You don't want to waste since 2018. Yes, it's
a six straight. You don't want to waste a year in the homes. Right. So that's where the
disappointment would be. But in terms of how far can this team go, you know that there's
some flaws in the team. Your defense is great. You've got real problems at wide receiver.
If you compete next week and you play well, you score a few points. Oh, I think there's
this one. You're going to be pissed off.
Don't lose your talk. Yeah.
It's thanks here.
This is I think.
Hank, am I right?
That's that that's a loser talk.
Oh shut up.
Hank, I am right though.
The cheese fans have every right now.
Like they have it penciled in like playoff, start in the AFC championship game.
Yeah, you have the best quarterback in the world.
Like you have one of the best coaches in the world.
It's very similar to Patriots.
Like you have a banked up team. You have injuries. You don't have the best quarterback in the world. Like you have one of the best coaches in the world. It's very similar to Patriots. Like you have a banked up team.
You have injuries.
You don't have the best receivers.
Like that sounds like the Patriots run,
but you still expect to go to the Super Bowl.
And if you lost when the Patriots did lose
in the divisional round, you're like,
that was a huge disappointment.
Huge.
And if you get to the AFC Championship game,
if you lose the AFC Championship game,
those games are tight.
Those games are tough,
but you have to get to the
AFC championship game. Yeah. My homes in Andy read. There's no excuse. Yeah. I do think that's how they
and it's again, it's a credit to them that that is what the standard is. Like the standard has gotten
so high that they can every year be like, Hey, we will be playing in the last week and in January
every single year. But if you go back, if you rewind like five weeks, you weren't, you were looking at the team
and you're like, I don't expect us to win a suit.
But that happened to the Patriots a bunch of times too.
They would win Super Bowls those years, where it's like, Oh, yeah, everyone's written
us off.
And I just find a way to round it.
No, receivers.
Yeah, I just think my, my theory is that your team at least isn't constructed to a point right now where you're
Expecting to win the Super Bowl. No, they're not they're not a superpower like they've been other years
But they have passed from homes and that makes them the most dangerous team in every playoff
They're in but Hank we want to we want to use your time wisely. Yeah, wait Hank

Okay.
Packers 48, Cowboys 32.
We have Hank in Dallas.
He's sitting in a basement it looks like with a sign saying, wish you
would behind him.
Hank, can we just quickly talk about the game and then I want to hear all your thoughts.
Is that okay? Of course. Okay. Yeah. I'm here for you guys. I want to start with just real quick.
The Packers, Jordan Love is really fucking good. I've just accepted the fact that he's probably a
future Hall of Famer. I'm hoping that I'm hoping it's just one Super Bowl like the last two guys, but I also am starting to kind of connect some dots and Aaron Rogers one Super Bowl was week 17 the bears lost the packers bears lost to the Packers Packers were able to get in with that week 17 win went on a miracle run to win the Super Bowl as the six seed
The bears lost to the Packers and week 17 or 18 this year Packers get in last seed Jordan love
Okay, I've done the the dots connecting and it doesn't look good
But either way the Packers were awesome today. They kicked the shit out of the Cowboys.
Jordan Love is so calm, cool, collected.
Everything we said for CJ Stroud goes for Jordan Love.
Like he's, you can just see it with your eyes.
It's just there.
He's back, his back foot throws, his calmness in the pocket,
moving around, he has just gone to the Aaron Rogers factory
and just remade Aaron Rogers.
So he had the first perfect playoff passurating
in the history of the stat today,
which is crazy.
Which is not.
Which is nuts.
Yeah, the same.
I mean, going back to Aaron Shatch from the last fry.
Yeah, he said that stat really doesn't take everything
into account that's important.
But still, it's a big number.
And he's the first person to ever have
that big number of the playoffs.
Obviously played really well.
The Packers now have two playoff wins. We talked
about this on Friday too. Packers have two playoff wins in Dallas at AT&T Stadium. The Dallas
Cowboys also have two wins in the playoffs at AT&T Stadium. Three. Three. They want to
suple there. Yeah, it's technically three wins in the venue. So against the Cowboys.
They have two. They have one. They against the cowboys. They have two.
They beat the Steelers there.
But they beat the Steelers there.
So really, yeah.
They have three.
They won the biggest thing there.
They own that building.
They literally own that building.
It's crazy.
But Jordan loved to your point.
He is the most calm person that you've ever seen.
He is staying completely immediately entire time.
You can get guys' face.
He's making throw his office back feet
where he releases and you're like, oh, that's a bad throw. And then it just travels
35 yards on a rope. Right. It's crazy. It's nuts. And the Packers defense played great.
Like they were obviously the side of the part of their team that everyone was saying,
like, well, their defense is trash. I know that they gave up a lot of yards a second half
in garbage time. They made Dac look terrible in the first half.
Pick six, another interception.
They got him a short field and a touchdown.
I'm not going to let myself get worried until if they beat the 49ers, I will officially
be worried because the 49ers are my savior.
They do kick the shit out of the packers every single time they play them.
So I'm not that worried.
But this is what we were talking about.
Winds of a season. Now the Texans have a win of a season. time they play them. Uh, so I'm not that worried, but this is we were talking about wins of
a season. The Texans have a win of a season, the Browns of a win of a season, even they
lost the dolphins have a loss of a season. Packers have a resounding success of a season.
This is a rebuilding year. And they just went and won a playoff game as a seven seed. Uh,
it's yeah, they're, they're good. Like Jordan love is going to be good for a really long time.
I have to just come to grips with it. And I have to be like, hopefully the Bears could somehow find someone better
because there's no other way around it.
He's a really good quarterback and it hurts me to say.
Yeah.
And you know who's also a really good quarterback.
Dak Prescott 400 yards passing.
I feel like you have to extend the guy, right?
He shows up in the playoffs.
He delivers when it matters.
He doesn't, he doesn't play defense big cat.
Dak Prescott, you got to give him a massive,
massive contract extension and keep him in that division for the next seven years. Am I right, Max?
100%. If you look at that stat line today, how could you think otherwise? You couldn't.
Yeah. What do you have? 400 yards. 400 yards. He only touchdowns. He had three touchdowns and two
interceptions. So that's more touchdowns than the interceptions. He's a gunslinger. He's going to
three. He's going to take chances and throw a couple
You know bad ones and he gets unlucky on yeah, it was I think that was defense that really let him down
I was this guy showed up and I think that people need to put more respect on Dak Prescott's name and and keep him around
That is that man is the face of your franchise the only they don't grow dax on trees
There's one person who disagrees with us, not Hank Lockwood is shaking his head
who's noted Cowboys fan.
Skip Ellis had this to say after the game, get rid of Dak Prescott.
Enough of the suffering.
He was a fourth rounder for a reason.
That's, that's mean, that's mean to bring up your draft grade.
Uh, I threw his jersey away for a reason.
He's now two and five in the playoffs.
Big moment loser, not a Dallas Cowboy quarterback. Fourth rounder for a reason.'s now two and five in the playoffs. Big moment loser, not a Dallas cowboy quarterback.
Fourth rounder for a reason.
You don't do that.
He is bring up bring up his crew.
Which is true.
Skip's doing the same like we were right about that.
Yeah.
The media was right about that.
Skip got bodied by his smart trash can.
It was awesome.
He did his his annual.
I'm going to throw my cowboys paraphernalia away and his smart trash can just kept on
closing on him after every time he tossed something away
and he had to go frustratingly open it again.
Well, Ernestine was held under hostage,
taking yet again another video.
It's very concerning to me that Skip no longer has
the growing level microwave in his kitchen.
He has like an upstairs microwave.
Yes, I go into the cabinets.
Terrible back splash by the way.
Bad back splash.
The kitchen needs a lot of work.
Also skip, be a man.
Burn your fucking shit.
Well, I'm so sick of you just taking it out of the trash
and doing it again next year.
Be a man and burn it.
So he's two and five.
Two and five.
Jack is two and five in his playoff career.
I'm pretty sure that that skip a list
is thrown away the same Jersey five times five times five times
Fun stat though about DAC. This is it's kind of a haters stat. I personally I consider myself to be a DAC stan
Mm-hmm. I like I like DAC press guy. I'd like to see him stay around for a while. I love him
He is two and five in his playoff career
He's tied for the lowest postseason quarterback win percentage in the Super Bowl era with a minimum of five starts
I'd also like to play a quick game that I just invented right now called Dr. Fiction. Okay, you want to play?
Yeah, all right. So Dr. Fiction, Dac Presscott has as many playoff wins as Nick Foles
Fiction that would be yeah, that would be fiction because yeah and Tony Romo combined
Have as many playoff wins as Nick Fools does
Dr. Fiction deck had over a half yard passing in the first quarter
That's fiction. That's fiction. Yeah, the undercached on that one. Yeah, yeah, cash the tickets
Dr. Fiction the Dallas Cowboys are the first team to win 12 games in three straight seasons and failed to make the conference
Championship in any of those years that is fact
That's that's that's that's that's that one's a deck. Okay. Yeah, they have not made the conference championship in any of those years. That is fact. That's fact.
That's fact.
That one's a deck.
Okay.
Yeah, they have not made the conference championship
in 29 years, I believe?
Yeah, yeah.
I think so.
Not since they went to the Super Bowl.
Yeah.
I think it's 29 years.
It's been a long-ass time for the Cowboys.
Every year, we hear about the Cowboys,
watch out for the Cowboys,
and they're bounced.
And this one is seven and a half point favorites against the packers who are the seven seed
At home where they had not lost this year
Dr. Fiction the cowboys are not lost this year deck. They had not lost this year at home
They got absolutely panced look like idiots
Little boy ass play little boy ass play. I do I think most people
We're agreeing with us now the DAC like this is enough now where it's like okay something's up
one and six against the spread as as a playoff quarterback two and five overall and I had said this one and six against the spread and
Max just I had never heard this before but Max Max, or no, sorry, Stephen Che, Stephen
Che was like, well, they stole all of our signs last year.
I didn't know that that was something that the Bucks community was claiming.
That sounds like something Stephen Che read on a message.
Yeah.
So, I guess we'll put an asterisk on his one, but if you watch that game and you say
that DAC was not the problem, yes, the defense sucked.
The Cowboys defense sucked during the love carved him up
DAC press got how he came out in that game
It was over like he looked so bad to start the game and two interception the first half
He put them in such a hole that they there was no chance they were coming back and then when they're down
25 points or whatever it was he's tossing the ball all over the yard. Like you can pretend that that wasn't a DAC loss. That was a DAC loss. He did not show up
to start the game and they got punched in the mouth and they could never recover.
And Jerry Jones was so upset after like the first quarter. He was slamming his paper around
up in the booth, turning around, getting Bill Bellachek on the phone. Mike McCarthy's out.
Mike McCarthy's got to be done. All right, as as Jerry Jones said last week, we're going to take this on a game by game
basis. Yeah. So we have one game to go on in the playoffs, busiest cat in Texas.
I would say that Mike McCarthy did not really show up for this one either. Greg Olson did
say we love Greg Olson. He's a great announcer, good friend of the show, but this was idiotic
of him. He said that people would be like calling Mike McCarthy
right away to hire. I think he said falling over them.
All over themselves. I think there's going to be a little cooling off period with Mike
McCarthy because this was a like you just can't look. They looked so bad, so bad on offense
and defense couldn't run the ball. The NBA will run the ball really all year and the
cow and the packers just took it to them
Like they ran it down their throat. Yeah, the Cowboys are the quintessential front runners
Yeah, build the offense around Jake Ferguson. Yeah, and CD lamb badger
There was there was some people saying that that CD and DAC were we're mad at each other during this game
Maddenach other going into the game. I don't know if I buy that I feel like DAC just played poorly today
He played poorly he You know what he did. He, and I don't know if this is, I hope I'm not
getting got, but the Louis Vuitton thing. Oh yeah, I've got the quote right here. That
was so bad. Go ahead, give it to us. So Dak Prescott has set up.
Dak Prescott has set up reminders for himself about reaching this year's Super Bowl. I've
got a lot of Louis Vuitton stuff. It's because of the LV is Las Vegas.
If I look at my bag, it's all LV literally.
I just went and got my girl a bag the other day.
I'm like the only one I'm getting
is one of these ones with the LV logo on it.
That was an easy, simple reminder.
So I think there's some Louis Vuitton bags
that don't have LV on them.
Either way, there was too much pressure in his house by the bags.
Yeah.
You got, like, the bags were too much for him.
He was just staring at reminders of how his season will be at disappointment if he doesn't
make it super bowl.
He should have all year long.
Yeah, he should have gotten, I don't know, what's a brand that's WC, Wild Card.
Yeah.
Try to win the Wild Card once.
And now he has to throw out all those bags.
Yes, throw them all out.
Like, if you keep those bags, then you're the biggest fraud of all time.
The only reason you got those bags is because
they say lost vegans.
Yes.
Nothing to do with anything else.
Give them to your wife.
They got to go anywhere else, but your house.
If he keeps those bags, he's the biggest
fraud of all time.
Also, shout out our guy, Stink, Mark Slarrath,
who called this all the way back in September
when Cherry Jones traded for trade lands
and didn't tell anyone.
Stink said that that's not how you run an organization
and that they suck.
And he said back in September,
oh, they may win a bunch of regular season games
because they're talented,
but they'll get in the playoffs
and they'll shit in their helmets
like they do every year.
That's the cowboys.
Yeah, that's a perfect quote.
Stink's right.
Stink was right.
No, shit in their helmets. Uh, okay, so the important thing here
Hank your
Cowboys you went down to Dallas. You're so excited to get to Jerry's world see your cowboys in action
Tell us how to how how do the game go from your point of view?
Tell us how do the game go from your point of view?
I have never seen in person witness someone have the yips like Dak had the yips.
Obviously I wasn't watching the broadcast.
I was watching the game.
The first interception was a terrible throw
and it was like you could, you know,
we had good seats, you could see it happen
in front of you and you like, you could see
he was telegraphing the past, it was a bad throw,
poorly thrown ball, got intercepted,
and it was like, that was a bad throw.
There was, he got sacked on the third down
when he just didn't get rid of the ball.
He held onto it for too long, got sacked,
and it was like, he has the yips.
Before even through the pick six,
I was, you know, talking to the people around me,
I was like, that has the yips, he can't throw.
Like, he literally cannot throw.
The defense didn't show up, but Dak Prescott, he had the yips. There was no other way to describe it. After
like, after the interception and after watching him get sacked, when like he
had a bunch of opportunities to throw the ball away and he just held on to it and
got sacked, it was like he doesn't like he he doesn't know what's going on right now.
Yeah, there was a look in there was a look on his face after the first pick where
you could see him thinking, oh no, it's happening again. And then once you start thinking
that way, then it's going to happen again and again and again. So what do you do?
He was missing. He was CD, LAM dropped to like, he had that one drop early. Like, that
was bad, juju. But he was missing everything. It was, even like they were, it was never close.
It was never close.
There was one holding call on Micah Parsons
and that first Packers drive.
That was like how they missed this call.
But everything else, the Packers just shit on them.
Yeah, so how, as a diehard Cowboys fan,
what do you think the future of the team,
what do they got to do?
I think you got to get rid of Dac.
Okay.
You got it.
You can't pay Dac to cigarette CD and Parsons.
Okay.
You got to get rid of Dac.
You got to get Bill Bellachuk in there.
Clean house.
Let him run the show.
Uh, we are.
And if they don't do that, I don't know.
They don't, if they don't get Bellachuk, guys, I don't know if I can be a cowboy. He was a tough, it was a tough.
I was also not death threats,
but I'm not gonna say that cowboy fans
were the most welcoming to me.
Oh, at the end of the game.
What happened?
Like at halftime people were, people were,
they weren't nice, I'll tell you that.
What were they saying?
You were wearing a Dacturzy. I was tell you what were they saying? You were wearing a Dax jersey.
I was wearing a Dax jersey and they were like,
dude, like, why are you here?
Like, this is all your fault.
I was like, did you remind?
That has the yips.
The Cowboys have never lost a playoff game
till late lock were gunned.
Did you also remind them that like stay in the call course,
dude, that's what you did for the Patriots right now.
I was like, yeah.
And so I did.
I was like, all right, I'll try it.
That didn't work either.
Yeah. Did you remind them? It said it wasn't like being like, yeah. And so I did. I was like, all right, I'll try it. That didn't work either. Yeah.
Did you remind them?
I said it wasn't like being like, it wasn't friendly.
He was like, basically, like, he didn't block the entry way
or like back to my seat to be kind of like stepped in front of me.
It was like, you're staying in the concourse, right?
I was like, that's what you do for the Patriots.
And I was like, all right, yeah, I guess.
Yeah.
Like, I didn't feel that way.
I didn't, you know, the Patriots times I did it.
It was, it was a feeling thing.
It was like, you know, someone from above
was speaking to me to be like, go on this con course.
I didn't get that feeling, but I felt obligated to
because this guy basically like threatened me if I did.
Wait, like God, you're saying that God told you
to stay on the con course?
Yeah, it was just like, it was just like,
you got it, you got it, you got, you know,
see what happens if you go on this concourse and good things happen so
Hank I got something good for you
major scabes not the not not today our our
Esports reporter Darren Revelle by the way shout out Darren Revelle
I know MLK day is a big day for him. Hopefully he can show us all his
paraphernalia and collectibles
I like remember a video. I like paraphernalia and collectibles. I like paraphernalia. I like paraphernalia.
No, it's paraphernalia.
It's a bomb.
Yeah.
I got a bomb sign by MLK.
He literally does.
He's like, look, I have this sheet.
MLK signed his name so he could get his mail when he was arrested.
He's like, look at this guys, and this cool.
Either way, yeah.
So Darren Revelle, let's see some of that stuff.
MLK Day, I know it's a big day for you.
You have over nine.
Over nine?
I think it's over nine.
Nine.
That's funny.
On today of all days.
Also, so you big catch trying to be a hater on Revelle right now, but he's forgetting the
fact that Revelle very clearly stated he has many black friends.
On today of all days, either way,
he did have a good scoop or esports reporter.
This will make you cheer you up, Hank.
He tweeted, soon after Bill Balecheck
was let go from the Browns in 1996,
he ran into Jerry Jones at a ski resort.
I can coach Balecheck told Jones,
if you ever get an opportunity, don't forget about me.
Jones said on radio in 2019 that I was talking about. I was talking to people around me and I said it.
I kind of, it just hit me and I said it.
And then once the more you say it, the more you believe it,
but like, McDaniel's available too.
I was like, I'm not going to say it.
I'm not going to say it.
I'm not going to say it.
I'm not going to say it.
I'm not going to say it.
I'm not going to say it.
I'm not going to say it. I kind of, it just hit me and I said it and then once the more you say it, the more you believe it,
but like, McDaniel's available too.
Wait, what?
Yeah.
Oh, to bring in with Belicechak?
Yes.
You don't mean as a head coach.
Yeah, you don't mean as a head coach.
No, Belicechak and McDaniel's together.
Yeah, gather again.
And you're back.
And Bill O'Brien, probably too.
And Jack Prescott. No, but like, Bill O'Brien probably too and Jack Prescott
No, but like Bill O'Brien like but but McDaniel's in Belichick like they were dominant
Yeah, I can't deny that it honestly wouldn't be the worst idea Ryan was part of the coaching staff
But he was never like when he was offensive coordinator. He wasn't as good
Yeah, he's like a McDaniel's had coach offensive coordinator
We're literally like the greatest tandem and coaching history. It'd be so funny if they did that
They're both available and they like get to a Super Bowl.
Jerry Jones has the money.
And then Josh McDaniels gets hired again
as a head coach somewhere else.
Yes, someone would do that.
That'd be awesome.
All right, well, hey, we got some other important stuff
we want to talk to you about.
So you went to the game with our friend Tiffany Gomez.
How was that?
It was fun.
We had a way to get to that.
As a Cowboys fan, what's it like leaving in the third quarter?
We actually stayed up.
But I know, I know, I know, I'm not gonna call anyone out
specifically.
But we did, we'll, I'm sure we'll get into the pool thing.
We did make the bet and then Tiffany was like,
if the Packers cover this on their own,
I will also jump in the pool.
So we stayed because we're like,
maybe the Packers are going to get 54 points on their own.
Right.
Who left the last?
After the game was over.
You were about to say somebody left.
And no, we stayed.
I'm saying we stayed.
But in, you know, Cowboys fan die hard. We stayed and then pictures we stayed, I'm saying we stayed. But, and you know, Cowboys fan die hard.
We stayed and then pictures were like,
we were like, let's take some pictures.
And in my head I was like, if I just watched
the pictures get fucking waxed,
the last thing I would be doing is taking pictures.
But there was a lot of pictures being taken
by Cowboys fans down on the field
after that performance, which was stunning.
Well, it's Jerry World.
You got to go see it.
It was sometimes the stadium is bigger than the team.
Okay, so this pool bet.
I stayed.
We stayed for the whole game.
So explain the pool bet for us.
So we were in the game and Tiffany was her idea.
She was like, we got to do a bet.
And I said, you know, she was like, what should we do? Like, it was, it's 30 degrees, it's colder now.
And obviously growing up in Massachusetts,
being in Chicago now, way, way, way colder,
25 degrees is cold, but it's not that cold.
People in Dallas were freaking out.
Tiffany was freaking out, she's like, it's so cold,
it's so cold, it's so cold.
We should do a bet where one of us has to jump in the pool
and I, you know, as you guys know, I've been doing the ice, ice, ice,
ice buckets, whatever you call it.
Cold tubs, ice buckets, yep.
Cold tubs.
So I was like, sure, I spoke to it.
Ice bucket challenge, yeah.
Yeah, the ice bucket challenge every day.
And I was like, let's do over under,
but we kind of were talking about it,
we didn't make it official until,
I think it was after the Packer score, there's second touchdown. So I just looked at whatever the
live total was, which is 54. And I told her I was like, pick over under like it's your
choice. The total is 54. You pick over and I'll pick whatever you want. I'll take the
opposite. And she picked over. Obviously, I can.
There's 80 points score. So she thought there would be a lot of scoring going on this
weekend. You weren't quite so sure
There would be as much scoring
I just said whatever you take. I'll take the option. Okay, all right nice
So so then the pool bet happens. So you have to jump in the pool
Let's put the clip in and I actually want to put it in for even podcast listeners because if you haven't seen the clip
This should make you go watch the clip because you won't get to see it if you're listening this
But you'll get to hear it and you have to go watch it.
Hank jumps in this pool and Hank, I got to say,
so so Max and PFT came running in and they're like, you got to watch this video.
I didn't always going to happen, but the minute you said I'm going to run on
hardwood floors with wet feet.
I was like, oh, I think I know where this is going, but then it's
even a better plotter. So let's play it.
Huh? Boys, great loss. Everything lost over hit. I want to die. It's 30.
It's 20 degrees and Dallas is full. It's probably colder.
14 14 degrees. Oh my god.
Oh, he's running. They're throwing towels on him.
He's drying off his jeans.
Here comes the problem.
He's going on hardwood floors with wet feet.
Here he goes, wet feet.
Oh, and if you're listening to the podcast, like I said, go watch the video because that sound
you just heard was Hank
slipping on the floor and his knee going into the drywall and putting the biggest dent
It looks like it looks like a a a a
Frat boy after losing some beer pong just you know fist through the drywall
Hank talk us through this moment, please
through the drywall, Hank, talk us through this moment, please.
Yeah, you just watched the clip. As you can see, in my head, I was like,
I'm gonna dry off before I go into the inside.
And Tiffany was behind me, she was like, just go, just go in.
She said that in the clip, she's like,
just run in, so I was like, all right,
I was gonna sprint, get to the showers as quick as I can.
And I didn't realize like I'd hurt.
And I think my scream got blocked by the sound of the wall I was like, and I didn't realize like I'd hurt.
And I think my scream got blocked by the sound of the wall because I thought I screamed
pretty loud.
But and then I just ran into the shower after and I was in the shower and I was like,
did I actually fuck up the wall?
Like and they were like, oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
My knee is pretty fucking sore. And yeah, it was, it was, it was, I guess it was good.
I don't know, it was, it was, I mean, it was, I'm just content fact.
It's an all time, it's an all time video.
So I assume being the gentleman you are, you've been plastering Tiffany's wall since then.
Uh, yeah, we're gonna, we're gonna go to home.
Do you put them on?
Got it. Are gonna. Oh, by the way, my my my flight got canceled. Oh,
oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna tell you Tuesday. You got to
do. Yeah. No choice. You could do some cock. Yeah, I could
go about the wall. I thought about cocking your wall.
Yeah, I don't know. We're gonna we're gonna take care of it. Okay. What was it? Take care of it. Nice. Yeah, what did it feel like hitting Tiffany's back wall?
It hurt it hurt a lot my knees my knees my knees sore
Yeah, my favorite part of the video besides like all of it was after you hit the wall and then she's falling you with the camera And then you just dip out you just dip the fuck out because it looks like you realize what happened It looks like you realize what happened and you were like I'm just gonna sprint to the bathroom and pretend this never happened
And maybe just leave out the back door and then yeah won't see me ever again. Yeah
Yeah, I actually didn't know that I said I got in the shower and I was like, is the wall actually fucked up?
Is she mad at it? I obviously felt it. I didn't know if there was like my knee just really hurt or if I actually put a hole in it.
Is she mad? Is she upset with you?
No, she's, I mean, she's probably still laughing like she's just...
I mean, it was hilarious. It's an all-time video.
The funniest thing that's ever happened. Hank, it's such a good video. I, I immediately texted Dave and I said that this is it was a Milton Hank move to have that happen. That was a Milton Hank.
And he, he hasn't replied that he might have gone to bed. I like contemplated calling him to
be like, you have to watch this video because it was so good. And the remakes like, I'm going to watch
this video. I would say probably 500 more times.
That sounds so good.
And the next week, like, the remakes are great.
I felt, I think memes, I think memes did the video
because I said I was like,
I felt like I was doing a loony tunes.
Like, I, I like, yeah, he did it.
Slid, I felt in the moment like I like,
slipped on my feet like 10 times.
Oh, memes immediately rushed to his computer
and just started just fucking firing off remakes.
He's like, I got, I got five hours of work
in front of me right now. It's just so perfect.
So Hank, last question for you.
Are investigative reporter, Jersey Jerry?
Did you see this tweet?
I didn't see this.
Okay.
So are investigative reporter, Jersey Jerry,
he's probably the best investigative reporter out there.
He said, just doing some detective work, Henry, it seems to me, like this is
Ms. Gomez recent emoji use.
So she posted a picture of her commerce text conversation with her mother.
And one of the emojis that's frequently used is the eggplant emoji.
So Jerry was wondering, I'm'm not wondering PFT is not wondering
Jerry's wondering can you confirm if this eggplant emoji was using text with you?
It was not using text with me now, okay, okay, I don't know who it was, but it was not me. Okay
Maybe to her friends being like hangs coming over
Yeah, I just I just know wasn't me. Maybe that's maybe she just has you saved
her phone as the eggplant.
Yeah, who knows?
Jerry's on the case. I don't find out.

Experiences a cowboys fan today
It it it tried me I
I got to really think some things if they don't get Belice check like I think this might be it. I'll say that yeah Well, they're like they they're fucking terrible the cowboys fans were not nice to me
and the Cowboys fans were not nice to me. And Dak Prescott's horrible.
Like literally is a quarterback that can't throw.
He had the yips.
Like he could not throw.
He could not throw.
Every drive, it was like this guy doesn't think
he can make a completion.
And then he didn't.
And then he threw like the pick six was bad.
The first interception was bad.
It was stunning, it was stunning stunning stunning
stuff to see. I don't know how Cowboys fans can get up for this team. Yeah, it's a rough. Every year
they'll check and they do and the beautiful thing about Cowboys fans is they do and they will
continue to get up for this game. Mm-hmm. Every year they're the best front runners in the world.
Like in training camp next year,
we're gonna say exactly what's gonna happen to the Cowboys
and they're gonna be like, fuck you guys, Dallas is back,
title town.
This year's different.
You see what we did to the Giants?
Yeah.
And it's gonna be awesome.
And I'm gonna love every second of it.
Now Hank, there was a report today
that Arthur Blanks' private jet flew up to Boston
and then flew, I believe, to the Virgin Islands,
potentially Bill Belichek on an interview.
So if Belichek goes to the Falcons, would you become a Falcons fan?
No, I mean, not like...
It's the same as Brady in the box, like whatever team Belichek coaches for, I will, there'll
be my secondary team if you become
That was secondary team to Dallas. Yeah, that'll be your secondary team Dallas
It needs to be if you go to the if you go to the Falcons. I'll root for Bill Belchick if you go to the Cowboys
I will be a fucking die hard cowboys
Well, you already are yeah, you continue to be yeah, you continue to be a diet cowboys fan. In fact, if Belichick
goes, if Belichick goes to the Eagles, I'm mandating it that you have to be a Cowboys fan
next year. I'm so happy this story.
I don't know. Belichick's not going to the Eagles. Fuck the Eagles. I'm so happy this story
arc has happened for you because like, but you needed it.
But you need a full, you want to lose Max or do you want Belichack?
Do you want to win or you want Belichack? He thinks they could lose in the division.
I feel fire. If they lose in the divisional round, I still think they fire Cereani.
Yeah, he thinks that. So, but Hank, this story arc is so great.
Rather make it to the NFC championship or get Bill Bellacic.
NFC championship.
You needed a humbling.
And this, be coming a die hard Cowboys fan
has been a perfect humbling for you.
Yeah, I was, because I did,
I guess this is after Thursday's show
and we were talking about Bellac.juck and I went home
and I got more of my feels after the show Thursday
and I watched like a 28 to three,
like the one hour long recap where it's like
most of the important plays,
but it's still a long version of the game.
And I was like, holy shit.
And so when the Cowboys were down a lot,
even at halftime, 27 to 7,
we can still come back.
I was explaining it to the guy next to me,
he was a Cowboys fan and he was like,
dude, like you're talking about Brady and Belichack.
We're not doing this.
I was like, oh, I was like, we get the ball back, we score, freeing out, score.
Then it's 13 points and there's plenty of time.
We're so in this.
He told me to point blank, he's like, this is not happening.
No, it was never happening.
That hit me, I was like, yeah, no, this is not happening. No, it was, it was never happening. That hit me. I was like, yeah, no, this, this isn't happening. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean,
if, if being humbled is getting invited to go down and spend a lovely weekend in Dallas,
and I consider this a great humbling weekend for you. Yeah. And weekend slash week, because
I don't like my, I'd want to check in for my flight. It was like, you can't check in until
Like, I'd want to check in for my flight. It was like, you can't check until
6.05 a.m. tomorrow, meaning it's 6.05 a.m. Tuesday.
Another night, but it was booked for tomorrow morning.
Good luck.
Like, yeah.
Good luck, Hank.
Well, Hank, please, please tell Tiff, we say hello.
Give our best.
I will.
Yeah, give her, give her your best, too.
I will give her your guys best. Okay. I appreciate that. Yeah. Thanks Hank. But thank you Hank and thank you for reporting on scene in Dallas. I know how important was for you to get down there for the opportunity. You hate the fact that your flight got delayed and that you won't be back for another day, but what are you going to do all day?
God gives its toughest battles to its strongest warriors or whatever the hell that saying is.
Yeah, I don't know.
I just got a cool golf car.
I'll probably ride around on that.
Okay.
Video games.
Okay.
Watch the bills. Yeah. I wouldn't.
If you want, if you want to feel bad for me, I put all my bets in before I left
Chicago, props, spreads, games like 13 bets between the chiefs, Texans,
Cowboys, Lions, Owen 13.
Really?
Every single bet, like nothing.
Every game spread, every game total, a bunch of props,
a bunch of parlayers, nothing.
Hey, did I see that you signed the wall that you broke?
Yeah.
You autographed it?
I did.
I was a sports business reporter.
How can I get my hands on that?
Her wall? You wanna, you you want to get a wall?
Side wall.
Yes, so that's a revelle.
Go through a lot of money.
Well, we'll trade it to him for the handcuffs.
The M.O.K. was, you know, had, you know, when he was arrested or something.
Yeah, I don't know, Jake.
You might have to come down and carve it out yourself.
No, okay.
All right. You want to go carve out tips it out yourself. No, okay. All right.
You want to go carve out tips wall?
Maybe Hank can bring it back for me.
Yeah, Hank will carve very well.
Bring back a piece of that wall.
No problem.
All right, Hank, thank you.
All right, miss you guys.
All right, love you, Hank.
This is you too.
We'll see you on Tuesday.
Maybe Wednesday.
Who knows?
These fights are fickle.
All right, you're not.
Maybe never. Yeah, maybe never. Oh, wait, wait, wait. All right, you're never Yeah, maybe never wait wait, can we talk?
Wait, he just started. Yeah, he started he they stopped the recording
Southwest is crazy save for Tuesday or your firefest. I've never taken Southwest before. Yeah, fucking crazy
No, the boarding process is it's no, I love it. It's it's it's it's barbaric. Yeah, it is yeah
It's insane. All right.
All right, by hand, good luck. Okay. That was Henry Lockwood.
Who knows?
The best. He's may never see him. He's going to live down there.
Yeah, Mr. Texas. We may never see him again. All right. Last game.
Lions 24 Rams 23. Detroit Lions have done it.
First time in 32 years, winning a playoff game.
They mentioned on the broadcast, for the first time ever, Lions fans can text message
each other saying, we just want to play off game because text messages weren't invented
till after the Lions last playoff win.
That was an awesome, awesome, like, atmosphere game, everything.
It was so, like, you could just feel electricity watching it on TV.
It felt like a college game at the start of it. It was so loud.
So loud.
Like, people were crying at the end of the game.
So much emotion. They booed the fuck out of Matt Stafford.
Which I like.
I like it too.
I like it too. Like, he kind of deserves to be booed in that situation.
Yeah, it's not that...
It was, I don't think that they were necessarily saying like fuck you to Matt Stafford as much because
most Lions fans will say like we appreciate Matt Stafford and the way that he played when
he was in town for such a long time.
But it almost gave more of a statement to Jared Goff that like Jared Goff is our guy.
We don't want Matt Stafford.
We want Jared.
We chose him. It was also just it's a simple like you're you're now in the playoff game. Matt Stafford is
with standing in front of you. Yeah. In winning a playoff game for the first time in 32 years,
you should boom. Yeah, I don't think it was a like mean boo. It was just you're the guy who's
standing in front of it. You're the guy who can stop us from winning this game. And it was a crazy
game because the first half felt like neither team could ever get a stop
Shoot out and then the second half both teams made defensive adjustments and it grinded down
Pukinakua was out of this world good like I he's he's insane. He's in I don't know what else to say like he could not be guarded
Every single time he got a ball. he got yards out for the catch.
He's not afraid of getting fucked up.
He got fucked up multiple times.
Mass South for got fucked up.
I can't believe Mass South for didn't come out
of that game with a concussion.
Yeah, whatever the NFL's concussion check is,
might need a little bit of work.
Some people have said in the past that like the NFL's
concussion policy would have cleared JFK
to re-enter the parade after we're...
Yes, yes.
This is one of those situations because you could see his eyes roll up in the back of
his head for a split second.
Now, if I'm being generous, maybe, maybe Matt Stafford got the win knocked out of him really
hard and he was taking like a big gasp that like paralyzed his entire body, maybe.
But I think to everybody that watched on TV, we're like, get this guy to the game, keep
him out of the game. He's really, really badly hurt.
Yeah, but then we've seen that from Matt's effort before. He's a tough mother fucker.
So he's crazy.
He's crazy just insisting on coming back in.
But yeah, the line's defense, Aiden Hutchinson, holy shit.
Yeah, they stepped up.
They made stops and they needed to make stops.
I know there were some weird flag calls that people were asking for.
I also think Sean McVagius, like,
Sean McVagius is an incredible coach,
one of the best coaches in the league.
He can't figure out clock management.
I don't know why they punted there with one time out.
I don't know how they got one time out
going to the last four minutes of the game,
but punting there made no sense to me.
Yes, it's a good lesson for every coach that five yards,
would you rather have five yards in the third quarter? Yeah. Or would you have another time out at the
end of the game? Right. Or yeah, right. Like don't get your play in. Okay. Fine. Take the penalty.
Yes. Five yards. But still like, Sean McVeigh can find five yards behind his ear.
I actually thought that Dan Campbell messed up by declining the penalty or accepting the penalty
because I was like, now the Rams are going to go for it twice here.
Never in my wildest dreams that I think that Sean McVeigh would punt with one time out
left.
I think it was about the field goal play.
I think they didn't want to give up a field goal right then because then the Rams take
the lead, right?
So I know that, but I'm saying like it was, it would have been a 51 yarder of the Rams have
not been able to kick field goals all year
And I thought I thought the
Accepting the penalty now the Rams are gonna have two plays to get
14 yards or whatever it was and they drop something underneath get a few yards then go for it on four-town
I just never even I never even had it enter my brain that they would punt there
Yeah, the I thought they were giving them two plays. Right, you could have even taken a fuel goal
from the like 60 yard distance, 61 yard distance,
and it would have been a better play
than punting the ball there.
Yeah, because you end up getting what,
like 30 yards of fuel position shifted.
And you have one time out?
You have one time out left.
And see it two first downs.
Yeah, and the two minute morning,
and they fucked up the two minute warning
by taking it after the two minute warning.
They did do that.
Yeah, I agree.
I would say at the time like, yes, except, apparently, because you need to knock them out of fuel goal range. in the morning and they fucked up the two minute warning by taking it after the two minute warning. They did do that. Yeah.
I agree.
I would say at the time like, yes, except, apparently because you would need to knock
them out of fuel go range.
Yeah.
And you need to give your defense a chance to keep them out of fuel go range, which they eventually
ended up doing.
But yeah, the timeouts and everything at the end of the game, it seemed like Dan Campbell
was like way more prepared for that type of stuff that Dan McVeigh was.
Yeah.
I just was texting with my good friend Detroit Don
I wanted to give him a call. He said he's up. So let's just call him real quick for a quick
Boots on the ground how it was because he's a long-suffering Lions fan and he's season ticket holder
Detroit Don the man all right give give it to us. What was tonight like sum it up for us us. Oh my God. Listen, we're feeling on top of the earth right now.
There is no question. Um, the emotion in that place after that game ended. Um,
it's, you know, just 30 years of pent up frustration just released, you know, um,
I love it. What about did you cry?
Yeah, I'm not going to lie.
There were tears tears all throughout that building.
What about superfanned?
Did he cry?
Superfanned, I think was stranded with hold, but I think behind no shade
there was there was some tears for sure.
Strong men, strong men.
So you get another home game, Detroit Don,
or you're going to that one too, right?
Oh, it was a zero degrees.
When we walked out of the building today,
yeah, hell yeah, we're gonna be certain.
Yeah.
All right, who would you rather play?
Philadelphia or Tampa Bay?
You know what? Super fan of me
were talking about that. We don't care.
Yeah, that's the right answer.
I love it.
Did you, did you, did you boost effort?
No, you know, we, uh, he didn't get warm, uh, reception.
Jared golf actually, the fans were like,
Chan and Jared Goss name a couple of different times in the
pregame.
Uh, and so it was pretty cool.
Stanford didn't, he didn't get a lot of hatred.
But he, you know, he didn't cheer him at all.
And I saw Stanford's post game comments.
I don't know if you guys saw that.
What do you say?
He's kind of dicky here.
They asked him, they said Sean McVeigh, they were talking,
they were interviewing Stanford, but they said Sean McVeigh had just
put up the podium and said, you know, he was happy, happy for, you know, Gough, and, you know, his old quarterback in
his set.
And he has Stafford, what he, you know, he was happy for Detroit.
And he was very short answer and says he was happy for the players.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it was, it was not pretty. Well, you guys have a tough
ass team and I'm happy for you, man. I know how, you know, your division rivals, but like,
there's something about sports, 32 years. It's, it's fucking cool. Gromand crying. I love
it. I appreciate that. And you've been down there with us in the hard times. Hey, listen,
let me tell you this girl that just disappeared like she was a season take hold of right behind
us. And she just she just appeared today at the game. And we're like, where the hell
are we called her sprinkles? And we're like, where the hell are you going to that sprinkles?
She says, if you guys remember on the Hail Mary pass, she says, I will not come back to
another game till we make the playoffs. Oh, today. She showed up. She that was the first time you'd seen sprinkles since that game.
I went to yeah so she said she said yeah we were all nebars that barstools videos. Yeah
we didn't really you just like disappeared for like years you know we kind of forgot about it all but I'm not gonna lie. But Sprinkles showed up at the game.
Oh, so it's awesome.
She was a sobbing, sobbing mess at the end of the game.
That's really cool.
So she said season tickets since then and just hasn't shown up.
No, she must sell them or give them to family.
You never really thought about her after that, you know?
Oh my God, it's like a family reunion, seeing Sprinkles.
You thought she was gone forever.
It was crazy, well, you know,
Tin Man at Sixth neck sits next to me,
that's all silver-faced and all that.
When he came down and saw her,
he was like, he was like a ghost when he saw her.
It's like, you little shotgun here down there.
Yeah.
You're just sitting there, you know?
Oh, that's great. Well, Dom, thank you so much. Congrats again, man. We're happy there You're just sitting there, you know, oh that's great. Well, well don't thank you so much congrats again, man
We're happy for you guys. We know how long of a road it's been and good luck next week
Thank you buddy. I appreciate that all right talk soon, man. Hey, by the way, you're going
I don't know if you saw but pft and I said that the lines go to Super Bowl. You guys are going
Hey, that's awesome. Yeah, let's just keep going. Let's keep this train rolling.
Yes, I love it. All right. See ya. See you again. All right. Sprinkles. That's incredible.
Yeah, shout out to Sprinkles. Do you got them like having a grudge and staying committed
to it? This part of the lion's stadium is the funniest part in the world because it's
all these seasons taking holders that all dress up like 10 man you heard him say that yeah they're just they're the most
diehard people in the world and that's so great sprinkles just I'm not coming back and then just showing up they probably thought she
died yeah I just I feel sprinkles I feel like secondhand happiness for all of Detroit yeah right I'm saying like if you can't get
behind Detroit lines winning a playoff game your heart's dead. It's cold. It's black
It's rotten unless your Rams fan in which case I understand
But I mean this is like it's a transcendent moment in sports
Gonna see like the collective weight of the world getting lifted off of entire city
It's it's you know
The Lions are in the Bears division. I don't like the Lions
I want to beat the Lions every time and play them
But if you can't be happy for sports fans and also just be like that's what it's all about you watch sports
You give all your energy you give your time your money everything to have these type of moments to have these type of nights
Where like the 32 years of suffering all kind of wash away and I know it's just one win. They got it
They got they got to keep going.
And I would say all Lions fans are like, we got to win a Super Bowl. But having that first step
has to be the best feeling in the world. And it's like, if you can't be happy for that, then you're not a sports fan.
Yeah. You just can't you can't like you shouldn't watch sports. If you can't just like remove yourself for a second and be like
what they just experienced tonight is what every sports fan
should want to experience.
And it's cool to watch.
It's what makes sports great.
And the fact that Dan Campbell was the coach to do it,
it's a perfect fit.
It is.
It's such a good fit.
He was on the Owen 16 team.
Now he's your coach.
And I read a tweet from our friend Isaac,
who's up in Detroit.
And he said that when Dan Campbell got the job,
he spent, I think a day or two calling long
suffering Lions fans.
Yeah, they did a contest and he wanted it.
Yeah. And just telling them what he was going to do, how much their fandom was appreciated by the team,
how he understands the pain that they've been through, what they're looking for.
It's just a great story. It's a guy that, like, he has embraced Detroit, Detroit's embraced him.
And like, sometimes being just like a tough ass dude
is what a city needs to get over that huge, huge hump.
He was on the O-in-16 Lions.
Yeah.
And going back to Hard Knox,
and we were like, yeah, I'm all in on Dan Campbell
to the slow start that they had right afterwards,
but just him crying at the podium, all of it.
The entire story of Detroit Lions and specifically
the Dan Campbell era of it. The entire story of Detroit lines and specifically
the Dan Campbell era of the Detroit lines has been such a cool story to watch. And I hope
it doesn't stop. I hope they keep winning. I would love nothing more than to see the
lines of the Super Bowl. It's also kind of back to what I was talking about with the big
flip with Michigan fans who are having a hell of a week Michigan Wolverine fans and
Lion fans. Like you the whole reason even in the darkest time
of whatever fan base you're a part of,
whatever team you're rooting for,
the whole reason you stick with them
is because you feel like this type of moment
could happen at any point.
Yeah, and it happened.
So it's like, this is awesome.
This is great for them.
It finally happened.
You tell all those times when you have terrible teams
or you have terrible losses, you get in the car after and you're like, someday it's going to flip.
Someday we're going to win a big game. Someday we're going to have a moment of like pure joy and,
you know, sports happiness. And they got it tonight. And you just, it's awesome. I'm happy for
Detroit. Don't happen for sprinkles. Shout out sprinkles coming back. What a story. What do you think
sprinkles outfit is?
Literature probably a shitload of glitter. Yeah. I also like the idea of the 10 man looking like he's seen a ghost. Yeah
So big head that's right behind you. That was the game her last game, right? Yes, she's probably right right over there
It's it's the whole yeah, that's the last game. I still I mean, it's still like the the luckiest
Parsley video I've ever done where if you haven't seen the original videos Detroit Don and superfan got kicked out of a game for standing on defense
on the third down and
Maybe they were doing other things but whatever they were standing on defense
That's what they're saying so they did a press conference just a two of them in front of like a brick
background like somewhere in Detroit just
them in front of like a brick background like somewhere in Detroit just disgusted that they got kicked out.
And Superfan has a tattoo of their season tickets like the seat number and the row number.
And I was in Detroit for the Mac Championship which was on Friday and the Lions and the
Packers were playing on Thursday night and I hate Aaron Rogers.
I was like, fuck it, I'm just going to go try to beat Aaron Rogers with these guys.
Bought the ticket next to him, did not talk to him, they showed up.
And it was me and Gazz and I was just like, hey, like, I hate the Packers.
Can we watch this game with you?
And they're like, fuck yeah.
And then Aaron Rogers threw a Hail Mary right in our face.
And their soul came out of their body and sprinkles retired for six years.
Yeah.
But it was one of the luckiest like bar still videos
have ever been able to be a part of
because to be able to get a ticket right next to them,
have them do a thing where they say their season tickets,
get a ticket right next to them,
happen to be in Detroit for the Mac Championship
and then have a Hail Mary happen right in their face.
Man, I'm just happy for Lions fans.
I hope they suck next year
because I hope the Bears are better,
but right now, fuck it, I'm happy for Lions fans. Yeah, and I hope you win next weekend because I hope the bears are better but right now fuck it. I'm happy for Lions fans
Yeah, and I hope you win next weekend. I hope you win the weekend after that. I hope you win the Super Bowl
Yeah, it'd be incredible. It'd be a hell of a store
You see the the dream blunt rotation before the game. No, it's Barry Sanders M&M
I think big Sean. There's somebody else there. They had they had like all the stars down
Oh Calvin Johnson came back, okay, so they saw his reply to the tweet and they're like Calvin Johnson come back for the playoff
game. It's just cool scene Detroit like that. Yeah. It really is. Yeah. They're passionate
sports fans and they've been kicked down a bunch. So, um, and yeah, this was a, this was
also like the lines, especially in that first half, they just played Man football. They just
ran it down their throat, play action, like they were hitting everything. I know that it was tough in the second half,
but they, they eat out the win.
Yeah, and they, Detroit had, I think, a pretty reasonable,
complain against the refs on that false start that they called
where they should have extended that drive that should have
been a first down, but then almost immediately right after
that they had the passenger appearance that wasn't called on the
Rams. Yeah, the proof of who I got is Jersey tug
at the end of the game.
Yeah.
So ultimately, I don't think that this would be
a blame it on the refs game,
but you ended up overcoming it anyway,
so it doesn't matter.
It's just a good time.
Good time to be a sportsman,
because you look at it and you're like,
that's gonna be me one day.
Yeah, right, that's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
You can't see yourself, if your team stinks
and you can't see yourself in what Lions fans
are going through today, then like give up.
Yep. Because that's the hope at the end of the tunnel. team stinks and you can't see yourself in what Lions fans are going through today than like give up.
Yep.
Because that's the hope at the end of the tunnel.
Okay, so perfect segue.
Because the Lions, it is the ultimate ball don't lie moment.
The Lions win this game, the Cowboys lose, the Lions do get their second playoff game at
home, which is what they were basically robbed of when the refs fucked up in Dallas a couple weeks ago.
So now the lines are gonna host the winner of the bucks and the Eagles.
A game we have not previewed. Max?
Mr. Cat.
Go ahead.
What do you want me to say?
Whatever you're feeling.
This is the preview.
You said let's do it on Monday.
Sunday. Let's do it on Sunday.
I'm gonna start with this.
Actually, I'll start with this.
You can start with that.
You start with this.
Let's see, let's find this.
What was it?
Quest walk-ins and...
This is such a weird thing that you're obsessed with.
I'm not obsessed with it at all.
I saw it and I was like, what is going on?
It's a weird thing.
It's something that every single team. Okay, ready.
PFTM. You just saw it. It's weird. I want to I don't know what it is. So I'm literally next man. Let me turn your mic.
Quest walk in says, Jalen hurts, texted him when that phone rings, be ready to answer.
Quest says he texted him back. Shit. I've been ready.
Quest, that's our mindset. He's got trusted me to go make plays and I'm gonna go do that.
Why didn't he just call them then? What? He texted him. Ben ready. Quaz, that's our mindset. He's got trusted me to go make plays and I'm gonna go do that.
Why didn't he just call him then?
What?
He texted him.
Cause a phone wasn't supposed to ring then.
But he's saying, be ready for my phone call?
No, he's saying when the phone rings,
like greatness on the other end.
Got it.
When greatness is calling,
don't be afraid to pick up the call.
Shit, I've been ready.
Yeah, it's next man up.
It's just another way of saying that he's hurt. He's saying that
Jill. No, I'm saying AJ Brown is hurt. But it sounds like they're just on text message. Like,
you like I wouldn't call someone I just text them. So is he going to text them and he's going to be
ready. I mean, you guys are looking way too much into the wording of this. I think it's reader that
this got out. Well, Queswalking said it. I know, but that's it's not it's not private
text messages. It's just not news. Sounds like it's a quarter. I'm reading it off a news
site. It's a quarter, but yes, that's because everything is news because it's NFL playoffs
and they're looking for everything to talk about. I think Quest was just trying to brag
that Jalen hurts at his number. But what shouldn't have Jalen hurts called Quest Walkins
and be like, Hey, next time I call, be ready. Calls under the age of 38.
That's what I'm saying.
That's why it's just said when the text message comes, be ready.
Hey, like, shit, I've been ready.
Okay.
This is great.
I really think it's the dumbest story in quote, but it bothered Max.
So bad when I brought it up that I had.
Well, no, you were like, you're like, what's the deal with that?
Quest, why?
Quest, why can't it?
I'm like, what?
Yeah, a quarterback telling a backup to be ready when the starter
is no, he texted him.
I'm that would actually concern me more given.
Chaelyn hurts finger injuries.
I don't want my quarterback texting a guy.
I don't know.
I just feel like you like texting someone been like, I'm going to call.
Just call.
I it was metaphor. Oh, but it was used on a real phone. You got who cares?
This is the worst. This is the worst you see game analysis
You know what you know what max always says that when we're making really good point
This is really good
Max or no, no, you always interrupt the best parts apart of my take to be like this is stupid and now
Questwalkins has to sit there
and be waiting for a call.
You got a text saying,
don't you see how great this segment is, Max?
I hate you.
Okay.
I have a quote here.
Jalen Hertz says that he hasn't thrown a football
since injuring his finger on Sunday.
He acknowledges that going back into the game
was a bad idea physically and the pain hurt more last week
He said everything is a challenge when you have a finger out of place. What what day was that quote?
That was last Thursday last Friday. Yeah, I think you threw a little bit on Friday. He threw over the weekend I think he threw well, they practiced on Friday
Okay, are you concerned about his finger especially given his
significant downturn in completion percentage
completions attempts yards per attempt
passing touchdowns increase in interceptions
deep throws and turnover worthy plays when it's raining
uh... yes
you are concerned the the answer is yes i'm concerned about his finger
okay so
a j brown out
he decided we want to go to a boxing match instead
elanix it you want to go to a boxing match instead. Atlantic City. He wanted to go to AC. Oh, I don't know. I mean, I don't know what's up with that.
Sounds like he's not ready for a call.
Now he is. He said he'll be back. If the Eagles advanced, he would be back for the division around.
He said, no, weird that he's not going to the game.
You could be going to the game. He's probably just the game's not told Monday night.
Oh, okay. He was just, okay.
When was he in Atlantic City?
Was that Saturday or Friday night?
Oh, it was Friday night, okay.
Oh, okay.
Off night.
I think so.
I think it was Friday night.
Watching Sam Laporta play on his fucked up knee tonight
where you like, why is an AJ Brown playing?
Yes, okay.
But, you know, every injury is different.
I'm not gonna judge.
We should actually just pause for a second
and give Sam Laporta a shitload of credit.
Oh yeah.
Playing on that because
on a touchdown.
If you saw the injury that happened to him last week,
you thought your first reaction was ACL, MCL, PCL,
out for a long time.
It's insane that he was playing,
but he also had like the biggest
knee brace that I've ever seen, cover his name.
We should also give credit to the moon.
We forgot to do that.
Oh yeah.
So, the waxing crescent
Pulling up the stat right now
The moon was a waxing crescent the last time the lines won a playoff game the moon on Sunday will be a waxing crescent
It was a waxing crescent Detroit lines won again and Detroit lines official Twitter accounts is wax on
So we'll have to do a moon update for next week and see what's going on with that. But the Eagles max Tampa Bay, you guys should kill the buckin' ears incorrect. It's
three point line. You're favorites. We are favorites, which is a interesting number. I think
that they shouldn't be the fact that AJ Brown was ruled out and it went from two and a half
to three is interesting. Well Baker's baking up too right?
Wait but Quest walking and getting the calls though.
But did you factor in the question?
Right right I forgot about the call.
Um I will say this, the Cowboys losing has changed everything.
You are so happy today.
It has changed everything.
The entire vibe of Philadelphia.
It's because your rival lost.
Correct.
Okay. I would love for you. Yeah's because your rival lost. Correct.
Okay.
I would love for you.
Yeah, no, I wanted to pack,
I kept on saying when the Cowboys is fun as it was
to watch the Cowboys lose,
I kept on being like,
now's the time I want the Cowboys to come back and win
because that would be so awesome
with the backers lost.
But they lost in such hilarious fashion too.
I know, but they would have been even
more hilarious fashion than the Packers lost.
If they lost when they were up like 28
Right, I was rooted. I was saying that the gambling gave to everyone's like now. Let's watch the cowboys
I understand it was it was one of those situations where I got out weighed there
There was a lot of you know cowboys haters that wanted to see them die. I stepped aside
But yeah, no, you're right and it also like
Nothing the Eagles can do tomorrow
is worse than what the Cowboys did today.
That's loser talk.
No, it's not.
And actually, I'm saying that more of like,
a lot of pressure has been taken off out of that lock.
I don't know if that's the case.
That is the case.
Because Dallas was so bad.
Oh, that's weird.
That is weird.
That is weird, Max.
That's weirder than the Cuzzwalkins call.
No, it's not.
It is, that's very weird, Max. So you's call. It's not it is that's very weird max
So you think no you think you're gonna play free now that the cowboys lost
Yes, let me tell you this the Eagles were the laughing stock of the day do not hire the players for weeks
The players talk about that the cowboys lost you are so wrong if you don't think the cow it if the players care
You think that the Eagles watch the cowboys lose and they're like, oh, thank God. Now people talk shit about us They're not gonna say it out loud, but inside of their inside of their head. Yes. I don't like where your heads at
You need the numbers to max. No, you're not ready for this
You guys don't you
Like you're ready. You don't think that you're not ready for this game
What the man's feel not what the players feel. But that also goes into it.
I mean, there is a lot of bad shit that has been going on in that locker room for the
past couple of weeks.
And like the Eagles have been the laughing stock of the league for the past five weeks.
That is a fact.
That a very weird hype video that the team put out.
Yes.
Like there is a bad juju that has been going on in that locker room and in the city of Philadelphia for five weeks now
The hype video that they put out with with Jason Kelsey and he does the he does the narration of it
It starts out by saying like we're very frustrated. You're frustrated. It was like the most downer hype video ever
Yes
Yeah, but it was like the most real hype video ever because if they did anything else
It would have come off as like,
what the fuck are they doing?
Because they read the vibe of the entire city
and we're like, we have to acknowledge
what is going on here or else everyone will come after us
and be being like, this is not what we want to see right now.
Right, so you feel good going into this game.
You for, I don't, but.
Take off the headphones for a sec. I want to talk to this game. You know for, I don't, but take off the headphones for a sec.
I want to talk to the listeners.
Please take off the headphones.
Can you hear me right now?
Can you shake?
Can you guys hear me?
You can.
I mean, I'm editing the show.
I'm gonna hear this and.
Okay, for the listeners, the way this is set up now, we need the
Eagles to win. And we need the Eagles to win because Max said something he slipped
up on the walk to the studio from the gambling cave. We do a little walk. It's
kind of like the NBA when they enter the arena. We all have music and get your
fits off walk. Yeah, we get our fits off. Max said, uh, we can beat the lions.
The lions just won their Super Bowl.
Mm hmm.
So we need the Eagles to win.
Cause Max will be all the way back in.
If the Eagles had had to play the 49ers next week, Max would have been like, whatever
we're going to slaughter.
It doesn't matter.
We win. We win.
We lose.
Who cares?
Now he is so close to being all the way back in.
And if he's all the way back in, he is so close to getting sad to press Max sitting on
this couch while we laughing.
He also was saying that he way would rather play the the lions than the Rams, right?
Not way. But I'm not I heard everything you just said. And I don't care about saying it. uh... you way would rather play the the lions than the rams right not way
but i'm not i i heard everything you just said and i don't care about saying it
if the eagles went
i don't think that the eagles are going to win tomorrow because
number one they're very banged up they haven't looked good in the past five
weeks what about the calmer things there's not no there's nothing to do
both the public is tad bulls there's nothing to
point to the fact that the Eagles are going to win tomorrow.
There's no like factors that are in that are.
What about the phone call?
What about the fact you got a better roster,
Jalen Carter.
But I don't even know if that's like with all the injuries,
I don't even know if that's true right now.
What about the hype video?
Is there a way that was there is like is back,
but it's right Lewis, but AJ Brown is out right and Jalen Hertz is playing with one hand
Is Devonte Smith blowing hand. That's not good. That's not good. Devonte Smith is back. Oh, however
I am not it's scared to say that if they do win tomorrow and look
Competent doing so I will be all the way back. Oh, so we need it. So everyone needs it.
We're gonna be streaming.
But if they,
but I'm expecting them to lose
and when they lose, it's fire,
Ceyriani and everything else that I have been saying,
but I'm not scared to say that if they win tomorrow
and look comfortable doing so,
I'm all the way back.
And then all you do is win one game
and because AJ Brown has said a whole be back for,
he would be back for the divisional game,
read blank and ship will be back for the divisional game
Read bank blank and ship is still day to day for it is still game time decision for tomorrow, but
This the line just won the super bowl. What would that is like what about you beat the lines next week and then we just get And then the packers beat the Niners and then in if see championship at the link
Think about that I'm not I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about and then NFC championship at the link.
Think about that. I'm not worried about that.
I'm worried about,
like I'm very worried about beating the box tomorrow.
Like I do, if I had to choose like with my life on the line,
I think the Eagles lose tomorrow.
But I,
the future of the playoffs will change for me if they win.
So did this game become a must win?
Yes. It turned, it's rich.
Yeah, no, it's good.
Because if they lose, then I'm like,
okay, Cereonis sucks, it blow up the team,
bring in Bella check, make Hank's life a living hell.
That would be the best.
Yeah, so like, it would be the best if you got built.
I'm just saying, saying,
I, my number one is like, now I really want to win tomorrow.
But I can be talked into like,
Oh, yeah, they were never gonna win that game.
Okay.
But if they do win tomorrow and look comfortable doing so,
I'm all the way back and I'm telling everyone that right now.
I, it's sad that I'm thinking that and people are gonna be like,
Oh, Max, you're such an idiot like like this team sucks, you know this team sucks.
And I do know this team sucks, but they are giving me a chance if that, if they win tomorrow,
I was like, they don't have to go to, they don't have to go to San Francisco anymore.
Yeah, I, I think you guys, I don't think that, I think Baker Mayfield's injuries are a little bit
more than we realize.
He looks not more than Jalenert.
But he looked bad in the Panthers game.
Like he, pressure up the middle, Jalen Carter.
Yeah.
No, I mean, the team has played very bad.
You see how quickly I got him back in
and he's like, he's like, yeah, wait, no.
Yeah.
Yeah. I don't know.
I know the game's gonna start tomorrow.
I'm gonna be like, we're off.
Steven Shay, that's the other thing.
Yeah, no, you're up against the worst.
He's a mental assassin.
He's been called a mental assassin.
He's a mental assassin.
There's no one like him.
I'm just more excited for the game tomorrow.
Okay, all right, now I'm more excited.
So now we're building him back. I think you're gonna smoke him. I don't. I for the game tomorrow. Okay. All right now I'm more excited said now we're building them back
I think you're gonna smoke them. I don't I think I still like it's my head if I choose like they are going to lose
They are not a good football team right now
But if they look all right like there's a path the path is opened. Okay, there was no path
There is a path now there is a path now, but I still think that they're gonna lose there is a path now. But I still think that they're gonna lose. There is a path now.
All right, so last thing before we get to who's back
of the week.
So tune into our stream tomorrow night.
I think I'm gonna bet the Eagles.
I don't, I'm on the Eagles.
Yeah, yeah.
I, I, I don't know.
I just think the box of Pete and a lot of NFC South teams
that, I don't know.
Neither teams very good.
No, neither team is good.
So here's what it is.
Whichever team you...
Whichever team loses if you bet on that team,
you're gonna feel extra dumb.
Because it will just confirm,
oh yeah, that team wasn't good.
And then whatever team wins,
you'll be like,
oh, maybe they got something.
That's just really how it's gonna go.
We're not...
We're gonna walk away if the Eagles beat the box.
We'll be like,
the box were never good. And if the bucks beat the Eagles, like the Eagles all
time collapse, they stink. That's going to be it. From October from big cat Jake, if
the bucks make the playoffs, tell me to buy it against them. Okay. And I will. That's
the Todd Bulls factor. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I will be doing so. Okay. Last thing, the Bill
Steelers game is on Monday afternoon.
People were very upset about this. They moved it for weather. I feel like most people understand at this point that it's not, because when it first happened, there was a lot of people were very upset.
Um, and I get being upset that you wanted to see a weird weather game, because we all want to see weird weather games. I'm pretty sure they canceled the game
or moved the game because of people
getting to the stadium is the problem.
Yes.
Not the actual players playing in the game.
Correct.
Correct.
And nothing to do with the players.
Maybe a little bit to do with the fans in the stadium,
but it was mostly the snow on the highways.
Was there like a stay at home order?
There was a travel ban starting at 9 PM on Saturday night.
I think it went all the way through Sunday. Also, Buffalo is one of the weirdest weather cities,
like ever in that you could be standing in Buffalo and it could be sunny and you could
be standing in Orchard Park and it could be like, you know, hell has frozen. It's the lake.
Yeah. Lake of the year. Lake effect is crazy. Also, people were very mad at me that I pointed
out. It is a federal holiday on Monday.
We're still working.
I most, a lot of people do work.
A lot of people don't work on MLK Day.
Yeah, it's like, I looked it up.
It was 50-50.
Somebody said it might have been Che,
that said maybe they're gonna do this every year.
I don't think they are because the NFL
would like to get ratings, games, and games on Sunday.
Yes. Probably four times as many ratings as they do. Correct. In the middle of the to get ratings. Yeah. Games on Sunday get probably four times as many ratings.
Correct.
In the middle of the day on Monday.
And I know that we have the best job in the world.
So it's like I was like bonus football.
And there are people have to work.
There's also people have to work on Sundays.
Yeah.
There's people have to work on Sundays.
People have to work on Mondays.
And it's called pre- I just had a bunch of people
who were applying me about their own personal situation
being like, I have to work.
So it's bullshit.
And then other people being like, I don't't have to work this is awesome. Again, I
think it's probably 50 50 also it starts at 4 30 and you can stream every game from your
phone now. So if you got to just steal from your boss steal from your boss and watch the game
on your phone like it actually sucks the worst for Steelers because the Steelers I would think
that in a weird weather game that would help them out way more than the Steelers fans were very upset.
Yeah, it's like this is.
Yeah, targeted towards them.
There's a way the Steelers are going to win.
It could be a 13 to 10 game played in the snow.
That to me feels like something that could very likely happen.
But yeah, I guess they told people to stay at home because if you go out in that weather
and you get covered by the snow, you get stuck, then they can't have people that go out and rescue you.
Correct.
It's very hard to get to you on the highway
so that they don't stay at home
and then we'll do the game on Monday.
It's hopefully the lake will calm down.
It's an interesting dynamic when people are like,
the governor shouldn't have anything to do with this
and get the government out of this
and then if they got stuck on the side of the highway,
they would have to call first responders to help them.
Yeah, I wish that that Cuomo was still the governor and he gave one of his PowerPoint
press conferences.
Was Nippelring.
Is Nippelring recruiting disgusting?
Yeah, no, it sucked because I was, you know, Sunday came around and I was like ready
for three games of football, but I also understand that if it's like people could potentially be
stranded in their cars and like first responders could be taxed where you have people who have emergencies, who
can't be reached because of stadium, whatever.
We'll get through it.
It was still going to play the game.
It was funny that they had bills fans come out to help shovel snow in the stadium and
then they turned it into like an open air amusement park.
Yeah, bills mafia.
They were sliding down the poles and shit, it was great.
It was like, remind me of when they do bark at the park.
Yeah, when they, like sometimes water parks
will have a dog weekend at the very end of the summer.
Yeah.
And the dogs just go fucking nuts.
That's what Bill's mafia was doing
inside the stadium today.
Yeah, it rock.
But yeah, imagine that, is it, imagine Andrew Cuomo
getting on TV, issuing the order.
He's like, this is very serious, whether stay home,
look how cold it is outside,
and then he just licks his nipple ring,
and his tongue gets stuck to it.
Yeah, be careful out there, guys.
Well outside, don't try to put your tongue
in your assistant's asshole.
Yeah, please, be safe.
But yeah, I mean, again, I know that we have a job
to watch sports, so I'm very lucky.
I'm excited for bonus football.
It sucks for some people who have to work,
but there's also a lot of people that aren't working on Monday.
We can say max.
It's also hilarious.
They're cucking the NBA again.
Yes, yes.
NBA just gets false.
NMOK Day, both NBA days, that of NFL taking over.
Yeah.
NFL just flexing on them.
Yeah, I don't think this will be something they just do
because I do, it did feel like an incomplete
Super Wild Card weekend only having four games.
Yeah, it was weird.
Next weekend, I think is my favorite football week
in the year.
Yeah, it's a visual round.
So much playoff football.
Some great matchups.
Well, one set put some potential great matchups.
I wanna, I mean, don't look at, don't do it.
Don't look at.
Oh, I was going to say Steelers Ravens.
Okay. Yeah.
Steelers Ravens.
Steelers Ravens.
Steelers Ravens.
Steelers Ravens.
Steelers Ravens.
What about CD Stroud up against the young gun versus the old gun?
Yeah.
Stroud versus the homes, even though my home is in the old.
Yep.
These are some great match.
Yep.
That's what it meant. We got the Eagles going to the old. Yep, these are some great match. Mm-hmm. Yep, that's what we meant.
We got the Eagles going to the Lions.
That's gonna happen, Gratz Max.
Congrats Max.
Good job Max.
Nope.
Oh man, you're so down on the Eagles.
All right, let's see who's back of the week
and we'll wrap up the show.
We're brought to you by our friends at Stella Blue.
Stella Blue Coffee right behind me right here.
Stella Blue Coffee, there's, listen, it's winter, hot cup of coffee.
I think I had five cups of coffee today.
Try to keep myself going.
It's delicious coffee.
You can buy it on sellbluecoffee.com.
You can buy it on Amazon.
We got different flavors.
We have pods, whole bean, ground.
Everything's still bluecoffee.com.
It also, we're giving money back to the dogs.
So I think we got a big check coming in February or quarterly check to polish Chicago where
I adopted Stella.
So this weather is not great for dogs.
She was not happy being out there on the cold.
But we get the business done.
But stellbluecoffee.com, go right now buy some really delicious coffee and support some
dogs.
So thank you to everyone who buys it.
And who's back of the week?
PFT.
My who's back of the week is ESPN being big fat phonies.
Ooh.
Big fat phonies.
And they got caught being phonies.
Ooh.
So every year, the National Academy of Television, Arts,
and Sciences presents the Emmy Awards.
OK.
And ESPN, dating back to to 1997 has been submitting fake names for
Emmys, getting trophies for Emmys, and then giving them to honor a talent who were not
eligible to receive the awards. What the fuck? Yeah. So they got caught. I don't know
how they got caught. I have a theory of how they got caught though. The way that it set
up is certain production members and behind the scenes people are eligible for certain
immi's and like the host of a show would not be eligible
to receive that trophy.
Okay.
For that show.
Okay.
My theory is that some of the hosts do like
office shots from their homes.
Okay.
And have the immi's behind them.
Yes.
And somebody from the immi awards saw them.
They're like, wait, this person never won an Emmy from us and then called ESPN
They did an investigation
Apparently I believe it was Stephanie droolie at ESPN. She was the executive in charge of it
They submitted dozens and dozens and dozens of fake names
to the Emmys and just handed them out that would get crazy make up a name
Get the trophy and then they'd be like,
here you go on air talent, here's your Emmy statue.
And the person would just have an Emmy
that they didn't earn.
I won't want.
Yeah, anyone can get an Emmy now.
What the fuck?
Yeah, pretty wild stuff.
So, the full article is on the athletic.
It came out last Thursday.
It is wild stuff.
So yeah, it's nice to see phonies
being recognized as phonies.
I want to give ESPN an Emmy for being the phonest wait, so they're just fake Emmys behind everyone were watching well
They're really Emmy trophies, but they're fake. They didn't win them, but they did not win those. Yeah, we need to get some fake Emmys

Let's get a whole trophy case. We'll put it maybe over there and just be like, look at all of our trophies.
Uh, okay. My who's back of the week is Jerry Reinsdorf being the absolute worst. So this
was obviously a story. I think a lot of people saw, but the bulls did their ring of honor.
Uh, they invented a ring of honor. Uh, very half-assed the whole production because they
decided to do this, uh, in December,
um, and they're like, hey, ring of honor night in the middle of January.
Steve Kerr will be back with warriors. We can do ring of honor night. Um, you know, the normal,
the, the guys that you think of when you think of the bulls franchise, you know, Michael Jordan and
Scotty Pippin and Dennis Romney, oh, they won't be there. Mm-hmm. But it's the ring of honor night. So,
um, they put it all together.
Again, Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippin and Dennis
from and we're not in attendance, which is like,
that right there should have been,
there's no ring of Honor night.
They should have called up MJ and said,
what date works for you?
Do you want us to play it in your backyard in Florida?
We'll play the game in your backyard.
Michael Jordan needs the balls.
Like, it's so crazy they did that.
So they do the whole thing at halftime.
And they had
for people who have passed away. They had a family member sit in for them. Jerry Kraus passed away
a few years ago. His widow, Felma Kraus sat in Jerry Reinsdorf knew what was going to happen
because Jerry Kraus used to get booed at the at the ring ceremonies when the balls were winning
championships. Like and you also had the last dance come out, which was basically Jerry Kraus used to get booed at the ring ceremonies when the bulls were winning championships.
Like, and you also had the last dance come out, which was basically Jerry Kraus couldn't
talk for himself because he was already passed away.
And he gets, you know, seward some more.
Jerry Reinsor have has Jerry Kraus' picture shown, the fans boo, and then they show Thelma
Kraus crying.
And yeah, the fans probably should be like, hey, this guy's been dead.
We can just be like, hey, he did a lot of good things.
I know that, you know, there's the end of the bull's dynasty.
There was a lot of back and forth and everything.
And Jerry Kraus has been painted as the bad guy, probably for a lot of things that he did
to break it up.
Either way, Jerry Reinsorfe is the one that everyone should be mad at.
He's a fucking half ass owner, he's bullshit, he's trying to like grab the, you know, the glory of the one time that he had a good team
because Michael Jordan was the best player of all time and sell tickets that way.
And then he shows Jerry Krauss' face, which again, he knew that it was gonna get booed and then Thelma Cruz is there, Kraus is there crying.
Jerry Rhyne's Zorf is the one to blame.
I know fans probably shouldn't have booed,
but Jerry Rhyne's Zorf is the one who's an asshole.
So they did not boo his widow.
They were booing the picture of Jerry Kraus.
It takes your Jerry Kraus,
well, the widow was on the wood.
It was very easy to just not show Jerry Kraus's picture
and just be like,
Thelma Kraus is here next person.
Or just don't, you know what I mean?
Like don't even say, just say Jerry Krauss's widow is here.
Like move on instantly.
Yeah.
Instead, he set it up.
And again, the fan should in a boot.
So I'm not like absolving the fans,
but I think that the real blame should be Jerry Rindsdorf
for putting together a half-ass thing.
And he hasn't actually tried to win a championship since
Michael Jordan left. And they, you know, they'll try it out and be like, well, Derek
Rose got hurt, couldn't see that coming.
He's a fucking asshole and the whole night was a debacle and it was his fault.
And I think Phil Jackson's ovation was cut short, like just an F minus ring of honor from
start to finish.
One thing despised owners love more than anything else is having somebody else that despised more than you are and he did because because you can
always play into that yeah I'm in the whole I mean last dance was obviously
is Michael Jordan's telling of it and it was an awesome documentary but Jerry
Reinsor have got to get a say and guess who didn't Jerry Kraus because he'd
passed away and max like kind of a crazy thing to do max I think you know
where I'm going with this oh yeah what would they say about Philadelphia fans if they did that uh why don't you ask the Chicago Bulls play by play announcer well
no they yeah they they they that people really really was big mad about that oh yeah people ripped
bulls fans for this ripped them it was all it was like trending on twitter for 24 hours I mean
now I get it they shouldn't have booed but real enemy here, or the real bad guy here is Jerry Reinsdorf.
That's my bigger point.
Like, shouldn't have booed that moment.
Jerry Reinsdorf is the one who fucked everything up.
But do you know, but do you know what I'm talking about?
No, what are you talking about?
The play by play guy went on.
Are you talking about Stacy King?
He went on a rant about how bad it was
that the Bulls fans did that,
and then he was like like we're not Philly
We're sure oh, that's funny. So Philly Philly Twitter got a hold of that and was and they were really mad
Stacy King. So yeah, that's stupid to bring in Philly
Yeah, I don't think it was the worst thing that was the other thing is like that was what was pissing me off the next day
So much was so many people going after the fans and fans
me off the next day so much with so many people going after the fans and fans were dumb. Fans are fans.
They're fanatics.
They're stupid.
The real enemy here, the real guy who fucked this up was Jerry Reinsor.
That's the one who you should be going after.
How do you do a ring of honor ceremony without Michael Jordan?
Yeah.
No, that part is definitely a very solid point.
It's like the ring of honor is no one void if everybody that should be in the ring of honor is not there. It's not a
race. Like, yeah, you think of the bulls, you think of Michael Jordan, Scotty Pippin, you
think of those teams from the 90s and to have those two. It's like, it's a bigger deal
that they're doing a ring of honor without those guys. Exactly.
Exactly. Actually having the ring of honor because they threw a get through a half ass thing
together. And last minute and they're like, will work and then they screwed it up the entire time but you also can't
boo a guy who's dead and then have his widow there crying well yeah you could but again I agree with
you Jerry Reinsor of New that if you show Jerry Krauss's picture they built yeah he knew that
because that they booed him in the ring ceremony. It's like, and the last dance happens. So then, and that's a whole new generation of bulls fans. It's on it.
And they're like, Oh, Jerry Kraus really fucked this up. The question is like, how do they have
the ring of honor? Do they not put Kraus in? No, they put him in. They just say here, and here's
Thelma Kraus. Quaranty, they don't boo a widow. Yeah. Yeah, you're probably right. It's, I mean,
it was, it was, but they was probably, they would probably have to show
a picture of Jerry Kraus when they're like, here's Thelma Kraus, Jerry Kraus's widow.
They should have done, they should have done Tony Kucoach right after.
And they're like, are they Boeing?
Are they saying Ku?
Yeah, yeah, that's, yeah, that's probably good.
Like, they, or they should have done, they should have had, you know what, they really
should have done.
If they wanted to fucking do it, if I ran the bulls, I would have had a ring of honor,
and it would have been, okay, Michael Jordan and Jordan and Scotty Pippin can't get there all right
Marcus Jordan and and and Larson Pippin will be there yeah Larson should have been and they'll just make out for sure for for the entire half time
We'll watch him. I was gonna say watch
Taylor Swift it was a joke and I And I guess what my final point is,
I don't, Bulls fans should not have booed.
Jerry Reinsdorf is the asshole behind all of this.
He is one of the worst owners in sports for sure
between the white socks and the bulls.
And he cries poor and he's like,
he, I mean, his quotes about everything like,
oh, when is, you know, he did a,
he was like a crypto con a few months ago,
and was like, everyone says these franchises
are worth billions of dollars.
Like, that's not real.
Like, it's just theoretical.
It's like, no, they actually are.
They get sold all the time for billions of dollars.
It's also very funny that he said that at a crypto con.
Right.
And he might have been, I don't know if it was a crypto con.
I'm gonna say it was a crypto con.
Jerry Rysor of getting into crypto is awesome. Put it, it's have been, I don't know if it's a cryptocon, I'm gonna say it was a cryptocon. Terry Rhyse sort of getting into crypto is awesome.
Put it, it's just the whole thing is a joke and he doesn't, he's not a serious owner of either White Sox or the Bulls
and all he cares about is that he made his money and he can sell merch off the 90s Bulls and the O5 White Sox and be like,
well, we won once.
Mm-hmm.
Worst type of owner.
When once and then be like, wow, we did that once.
It's fine.
Fucking worst.
All right, sorry.
It was, it was, sorry, Max, that you got involved in that.
Stacy King shouldn't have said that.
It's okay.
He said in New York too, he goes, that's not Chicago.
That's New York, Philly.
So, I'm talking.
You would have booted her.
We didn't, for sure.
They like, they're working with Philly.
That's the thing, it's like, fans are crazy. I don't booted. For sure. You are working with Philly? That's the thing.
Fans are crazy.
I don't.
Yeah, no, that was another thing that I looked at.
Is that like, fans will always be very passionate.
Fans will always be, find something to be angry about.
And like, sometimes it's not good.
And like, you just have, like sometimes it comes off
in poor taste and you just have to kind of accept that
It if it wasn't if Delma Kraus wasn't there and also in tears
It wouldn't have been a story and that's where Jerry Reinsor fucked it up
I think it was if she wasn't it if she wasn't in tears. I think it's honest
But that's where Jerry Reinsor fucked it up
He set it up to fail because if fans or fans and fans are gonna be dumb and great and it's like
That's what we do is fans. We do stupid shit. We do great things like it is what it is.
The owner is the one who set this whole thing up and it sucked. Okay. Also the bulls
got outscored 40 to 20 in the third quarter after brewing the homicraus.
Followed online. All right, Jake. My who's back the week is Dwayne Wade.
So similar type of announcement, but this is all positive.
They're building a statue.
Nice.
They announced it today, Pat Riley,
first statue in franchise history.
All right.
Statues are weird, aren't they?
It's like the banner, and then the banner on steroids
is a statue.
Yeah, but just as a general concept, statues.
It's just, it's a weird thing to do.
The person's, I'm just gonna build,
I'm gonna build a dude out of a rock
that people can look at after you die.
Yeah, except, Teanley retired like five years ago.
Yeah, which is weird.
You very rarely get a statue of a living person.
I guess in sports it probably happens more often.
Yeah, but yeah, if there's anybody from the history
of the heat that deserves a statue, probably him.
Yeah, definitely.
Also, this is Paul Williams.
Maybe Jason Williams.
Yeah.
What do you think, Jake, I don't know where I should say,
the heat have MJ's number retired.
Yeah, they do.
Respect.
That's one of the weirdest moves ever.
Respect.
The heat have MJ's number.
Yep, that is bolder. It's a in-case number. It's his bold jersey.
It's a thing in the wrap.
No, it's just like, the most cucked move of all time.
I think it's a close second, but the most cucked move in basketball is the New
York Knicks wearing the Jumpman logo on some of their uniforms.
Yeah, that's pretty bad.
Yeah, Paira.
I explained it was made as a sign of respect to what Jordan has done for the game.
I mean, I like that, but it's also like, I I don't know that's a Philly wouldn't do that right
They don't hang banners and Philly. That's true. Yeah, also Hank probably would have mentioned this as his who's back
But he is a new coach. I'm sure we'll dive into it more when he's back. What do you mean the Patriots? Oh, yeah, yeah, Gerard Mayo
Yes, people are very mad that I mess up. That's a gerard. I said Gerard Mayo.
Yeah, Gerard Mayo.
I apologize.
I apologize.
I apologize.
Probably probably a good call.
I guess a lot of people were saying that he's been like destined to be a head coach.
So I don't know.
I would have liked to see Vrable.
Yeah, but I'm very
Mike Tomlin says he might go spend time with his family, talk it over.
Mike Vrable used to play for the Steelers.
People forget Mike Tomlin of Pittsburgh. Mike Vrable used to play for the Steelers people forget. Mike
Tom on the Pittsburgh. Mike Vrable would be the perfect Steelers. He would be their
coach for 40 years. All right. Good show boys. Great show. Any show you can get Hank live
from Dallas. Detroit Don with sprinkles. Yeah. Great show a great show. All right. Numbers.
Eight. 18. 71. 20.
Three. 99 Pug.
Okay. 21.
21 for Shane. Motion number max.
Twenty.
Twenty every day.
80.
80.
Good luck to Max.
Good luck Max.
You're going to do a time capsule max after the game. Good luck to Max. Good luck Max. Look Max. You're gonna do a time capsule max after the game.
Good luck.
Evan Pug too.
Eagles fam.
Do you think that even if we win, we should do it.
No, not if you win.
Yeah, I think only if you lose.
Stand by for that.
Yeah, it would be nice for like a five minute time capsule
just to get all of Max and then we can talk about the game
on Tuesday.
Yeah, loving it.
And you're gonna to be wearing?
No, no, no, no.
I bring back the braids. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I don't love what I have to say I say it anyway The day is not day to find you
