We start in Western New York where Lamar Michael Jackson said, you can't read my handoffs. It doesn't matter if my arm sleeves are black or white. Devin McAllister, single Terry, made the rest of his family on offense disappear as he carried

the Loto Bricks from almost half of the team's yards. They see me rollin', they hate in, hearse. With a 61 yard touchdown, has the Ravens riding dirty to the ninth straight win. Ravens 24, Bill 17. Got him, got him. In the battle for Ohio, Andy Dufresne dalting through for 262 yards of fit smelling foulness I can't even imagine. And had his pick six acts confiscated by the tens awarded.

In the first half, the Browns offense was bogged down, but in the second they opened up the playbook and told the Bengals, you're gonna swallow when I give you the swallow. The Browns win, but not with our turmoil, as Cleveland fans are left wondering, will the season end with a simple message, oh Dallas here, Brown 27, the Bengals 19. In Lambo where Terry McClaren Hill and Wyclef John Bostick saw the Redskins playoff chances get killed softly and circle the Dwayne, Haskins. Matt Liv Love LaFleur is trying to stay positive with his angsty quarterback, but the unit is Aaron Jonesing for more.

Mason Garulo Crosby is no stranger to having something 33 yards long come off his leg and the Packers season is pointing in the right direction. If you catch my drift, Teege gave him the shaft boom, Packers 20, Redskins 15. In H-Town where Drew Glock was deadly from the pistol position, standing his ground against the Texans, the Texans linebacker fittingly dressed up in average Joe's uniforms because it looked like they were dodging every ball the blocker threw that way. Noah SpongeBob SquareFant said, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready to break out as the rookie tight end had a huge day and the Texans fans says, I'm head out as

this one was over by halftime. That's sports time, boom. Broncos 38, Texas 24. Down on the bayou where Drew's Scarface Breeze asked the Niners, who's the bad guy, only to have San Francisco answer with, say hello to my Kitto friend, as the Pro Bowl tight end sealed the victory, running like a cockroach, refusing to die. Sean Payton spent all week preparing for Jimmy World Garoppolo by telling his quarterback, Drew Breeze, it's just taste some time, everything, everything will be just fine, but everything

might not be so fine now that the Saints don't get the playoffs at Dome Sweet Dome, 49ers 48, Saints 46. Some score. Up to Minnesota where David Blau Blau Blau Blower Wheels looked like a cheap imitation of a Matthew Stappford. Kirk Gussins thunderstruck quickly in the game with a touchdown to AC BC Johnson and the Vikings are back in black with a division win, but the Lions, it's a fish leg drop season and for those about to mock, please salute you.

Vikings 20, Lions 7. Standing on the corner, Jimmy's whistling Tampa Florida, such a fine sight to see. Look at those, that's my lord, lighting up the scoreboard, four touchdowns, three INTs. Come on, Brent said, how'd you miss that? You mad Frank, right in the words of Cameron from Tim said, Fox 38 Colts 35, you didn't see that one coming, Hank. The Kansas City equipment managers were shippin' up the Boston, oh, to find their missing bags. Tom Wayne Brady improvised on a pass to Nikhil Harry, but the refs looked at the out-of-pounds

marker and said, whose line is this anyway, making a Colin Mockery out of the rule book. McCall Kidman Hardman was trying to take a ring away from Tom Cruise Brady as the refs had their eyes wide shut all night long. The pass was fidelio, broom. After back-to-back losses, the Patriots are now on to the side, on to the side, on to the side. Chiefs 23, the Patriots 17. Was that Steve Belcher?

That was Steve. Thousands of dolphins live in captivity around the world. You may have heard of the bigger attractions in Northern America and Europe, but what you might not have heard of are the smaller parks here in Asia. Dolphins are being kept in tiny chlorinated swimming pools. These dolphins are subjected to loud music, unsuitable water conditions, malnutrition, and are forced to entertain guests for up to 12 hours a day. These horrendous conditions affect the dolphins, not only physically, but psychologically, and

most of these cetaceans don't survive for very long. Chiefs 22, Dolphins 21. We finish in Oakland, where AJ Soprano Brown was on fire like a Nissan X-Terra parked in the New Jersey suburban woods, and the Titans look like they're going to run the variable. It doesn't matter how much you tan your perineum in Oakland, because there's no sunlight entering this black hole, even though their head coach is a grudest and is showing the world his ass.

Derek Clapton Henry is bringing the boys back to the music city with a dub. Titans 42, the Raiders 21. Week 14 in the books. Absolutely love it. I love football. I love watching football. I hate losing, betting on football, but these are the days that we are going to really, we're going to look back.

Look at us right now. Once late February. It's better than this. Yeah. Nothing. Nothing. Week 14. We got it.

We got to pump up the volume here. I do feel like it's Spider-Man meme. There's been some bad Sunday nights for me. I'm looking in a mirror at Hank and PFT. Bad Sunday nights. That's okay. We march on Sunday night with you guys is a good. There it is.

Right. Look at all this positivity. And if you're watching the only way you lose gambling is if you stop, right? If you're watching on barstoolgold.com slash PMT, you can see we're cheery now. We're happy. It's the friendships you make along the way. We're going to start. We're going to recap every single game.

We're going to start with the night game as we always do and then work back in time. The Rams. Oh boy. They're frisky. The Rams. Now we talked about this on Friday. The Rams for whatever reason, their Sean McVeigh has figured out Pete Carroll's defense and it looked exactly like that.

Again, outside of, you know, obviously Jared Goff had a couple of interceptions. He had a great game. Otherwise they were moving the ball very easily against the Seahawks and I don't know if this is like a Mike Tomlin Patriots situation where Pete Carroll just refuses to change strategy against the Rams, but that was a no doubter. They looked, they made the Seahawks who have been one of the hottest teams look like kind of a joke in this game. Yeah.

Yeah. And even Jared Goff's interceptions weren't that bad because he, well, there was one that was bad, but another, he pinned them deep, pinned them on the two yard line. They've got a quarterback that can do a coffin corner and they've got a punter that can throw touchdowns. It's a Swiss Army knife team. And yeah. So the Rams look like they're somewhat back here in the race.

They are, are they officially, wait now, are they the sixth seed if it started today? They're definitely. No, doesn't their, doesn't their hunt hurt your hunt? Yes. It hurts a lot. It hurts a lot. But the Bears are going to win out and the Vikings are going to start losing out. So I'm not worried about the Rams as much as the Vikings just falling flat on their

face. And even when it was, when it was like Jeff Fisher coaching the Rams, it always seemed like the Rams were good for at least one victory against the Seahawks when the Seahawks were like winning Super Bowls. Got their number. Yeah. Yeah. So right now the Rams would be, no, wait, no, they wouldn't, they were, they're outside

looking it. So they need some help too. That was a big win for them tonight because right now would be the Vikings and the Seahawks as the two wildcard teams. So yeah, it does hurt me. It does hurt me. Hank, you're right. I'm happy.

My friend Jared played well and we'll just deal with it in the coming weeks. The Bears will start winning every single game and it'll be no problem. But the Rams are back in the picture here. Their pass rush was really, really good tonight. I remember we talked about the Seahawks offensive line missing some guys. Aaron Donald getting that penetration up the middle. He was looking good and more than anything, it looks like the strategy to maybe not use Todd Gurley all the time at the beginning of the season is paying off because he looked

pretty electric tonight. He looked like, oh, I think actually Al Michael said it at one point. That's an old school Todd Gurley run because he was doing the thing where like, even if on first contact, you couldn't bring him down. He had a 79 yards, I think he had a bunch of yards receiving as well. And he gave that stiff arm to Trey Flowers, just buried him in the dirt. And I think Chris Collins was said delivers an absolute facial crush at Trey Flowers. Just squirted all over him.

So let me ask you this PFT. The Seahawks, we talked about their point differential and how it's kind of a weird anomaly. The fact that they haven't been able to blow any teams out, the fact that they've been winning games by the skin of their teeth. Are you, if you were sitting here right now and you're a Seahawks fan, are you watching this game tonight and being like, well, I might panic a little or like Chris Collins worth an hour, Michaels were saying, which made no sense.

A statement loss, a loss that was good. It was a loss that was actually a win in the NFL, which is tough to come by. Shout out to our good friend Trent Dilfer and his private jets. I think that this was, I don't know, you can build off stuff. I think if you're a Seahawks fan, you probably have this penciled in as like, oh, it's a prime time game, divisional opponent. They need a win. They're hungry for it.

It's not the end of the world to lose this game. So plus it's just always nice, like just watching the grass in Los Angeles. It's a very comforting shade of green. I feel like, especially underneath the lights, any loss is a little bit easier to swallow because you feel like you've been meditating, just looking at that beautiful, beautiful seed. Yes. You know, I mean, I think it's one of the last games at the Coliseum.

There's not many left, but for the Rams, because, you know, I don't know if you've seen this, but anytime any media member flies in and out of LA, they take a picture of where the new stadium is going to be. It's the 1.9 or like maybe it's like $2 billion mega plex of football, the cathedral to football in Los Angeles, California, America's NFL town. Yeah. But yeah, I want, I can't wait to see a time lapse of that because I've seen, I've seen all the pictures that like Andrew Siciliano takes and rich eyes and take of the scaffolding

and stuff coming together. But I haven't seen a new home. Time lapses. Yeah. New home coming up. Imagine if the time lapse guy just forgot to turn on the camera. Fire him. Like there is one time.

Actually, actually kill him. Yes. That's that would be the ultimate. Oof. I fucked up. If you just forgot to start the time lapse camera when they like broke ground. If you forget to press record on a camera, you should be fired from whatever job you have at that moment.

Speaking of time lapses, Pete Carroll looks like he's getting younger on the sidelines. His face looks like the CGI they use in the Irishman to make Joe Pesci and Robert DeNiro and all those guys look like 20 years younger. No, Pete Carroll is definitely one of those guys who's going to live to be 115 and just like walking briskly around his neighborhood, chomping on his gum and you know, wearing his new shoes. He's going to be one of those guys that everyone in his family would be like, yeah, he's 98 and he's still driving.

Not at night, but he's still driving. He's not driving well. Yeah. He's only hit three cars in the last like six months. It's pretty good. He's still driving. He's remarkably lucid. Remember his twins name.

That's my favorite is when someone's so old that the still driving is a feat in itself. Yeah. Still driving. We're trying to kill him as best we can by giving him keys to the car, but that motherfucker just won't die. He had six heart attacks in the last 10 years, but he's still driving blacks out. It's going well. He blacks out.

So we got him a giant SUV. So he doesn't hurt himself when he crashes. Still driving age. All right. So the Rams got to feel good coming off that. The Seahawks. Like I said, I think the Seahawks, I'm putting the Seahawks, they're not frauds, but I'm putting them in the category of teams with enough question marks that I don't, I wouldn't feel

confident that I'm making it deep. I don't, I don't trust them. Right. I don't trust the Seahawks. They'll show up when they need to, usually, but if it's a playoff game, I'm not betting, I'm not betting my pinky on the Seahawks. They're not going to win three playoff games. If they can't get a buy, I don't feel good about them.

So that's really what it comes out to, and tonight hurt their chance for a buy. Well, they could. I think if, if they got to go like into Dallas for a game, I think it was what would happen right now. Yeah. If they got to go into Dallas, they would just stop the ever living shit out of that. Yeah. They would definitely win that game.

I mean, like without a home playoff game, I just don't, I, yeah, they're, they're a question mark. There's a big question mark around the Seahawks, although they do have, they should be able to win out because they have the paint at the Panthers home against the Cardinals and then week 17 home against the 49ers, which would be a great game. That'll be great. Yeah. Yeah.

All right. Let's go to the one o'clock. Let's start with the big one o'clock game, the Ravens and bills, the Ravens are now winners of nine straight, which is a franchise record since the bye week. They have beaten the Patriots, the Texans, the Rams, the 49ers and the bills. How you like me now? Like that is pretty damn good. If you're a Ravens, uh, if you're on the team or if you're a fan of the team, you're

walking around with your chest puffed out because you can seemingly not lose to anyone. And Lamar Jackson was doing his witchcraft thing that he's done probably every week since like week four, where he takes five steps in the span of like half of a second, a little crab dribble. It's like a James Harden step back three that he does. And he just, he has the ability to hypnotize players on defense where they just collapse. Yes. They look at him moving his feet and they just, they look like they're, they've been snake

charmed and they just completely pass out on the play and fall right on the face. Shake that you just can't, it's, it's, it's an illegal move. It feels illegal because it's so damn good. The Ravens though, like their offense wasn't that good today. They had one big play to a Hayden Hurst and then the rest of the game, it was their defense, their defense stepped up. So I think I said this last week, but the way the Ravens keep winning games, they've done it in every single fashion that you can't just like, you have to walk away being like,

holy shit, this is impressive. They win close games. They win games when they're running backs aren't playing well, but Lamar is vice versa. Their defense, like they'll just do anything they have to do to win the win. And I don't know, I mean, the only thing you can say at this point is, are they peeking too early? But if they keep peeking, then it's not too early. They've been peeking.

They peek all the way through December and January. They've been having tantric football sex ever since like late September, let's just say they're sting. Yeah. Just sitting there and like, they're sitting there with their legs crossed just coming over and over. Maybe they haven't even come yet. Maybe they're just edging.

Maybe they're just like at the point, at the point of orgasm for the last three months. Did you see before the game? They had a lot of Baltimore fans made the trip. It's become like making a journey to Mecca for football fans, making that trip out to Western New York and partying with the legends of the Bill's Mafia. And the Ravens fans were just like so happy to be there. They're like Ravens fans and Bill's fans are kind of two sides of the same coin in a way. One wears Zubaz, one wears the purple and black camo, which is like if Zubaz joined like

the war on Christmas, then that becomes the camo that Ravens fans wear, but they were like jumping off the tables, a lot of handshakes. I'm starting to ask like, are Bill's fans becoming too friendly to visitors? They're soft. Yeah. They're too welcoming. Okay. I mean, this was a yet again, like the biggest game in Buffalo Bill's history in the last

decade. And it felt like it. Yep. It felt like they had it for a second there. But I think Josh Allen, who is up and down and today was maybe not his best game. I think he needs to do, here's my idea. I think he needs to do like 25 to 30 arm curls before the game. Take like three yards off that deep ball.

Okay. Cause it feels like there are three or four yards throws in a game where he's just a little bit too far on the, on the receiver. If you can just bring that back just a little bit and maybe it's something like that where you just weaken it just a little bit. He can hit those balls. Okay. I was, I was thinking that you were saying his arm is so long that he needs to do the

curls to get a nice pump going. No, he needs to, you know, you know, after you've done like 30, you know, 30 curls, I usually do like 40 or 50, but your arm feels a little bit fatigued. So you don't have that 100% strength. He needs like 97% strength to get some of these deep passes. Maybe just have some, have Frank Gord just slam his nuts into his bicep right before the game. Just like give him a little Charlie horse.

A mild contusion on his arm. He, um, the problem I think with the bills is they don't have an offensive identity and I don't know what that means, but it sounds cool to say. I think they do. It sounds like, you know what you're talking about when you say it, they, well, they kind of do. Yeah, they do. It's running the ball and intermediate passing.

Yeah. But when they're really clicking is when he's throwing the deep ball. No, I think the deep ball is a special extra thing they put on top that like they'll take their shots and if they hit it great, but he also, there were some drops. Their offense was just kind of a little sloppy all over the place today. So, and you have to play perfect to beat the Ravens. The only other thing I had was the, the Marcus Peter shotgunning a beer shotgunning a beer after victory.

That's what the Twitter moments said Twitter moments is run by a cop, by the way, like that. What did he do? I didn't see this. He just, he just had like a half of a beer can and just kind of poured it on his face. Okay. And Twitter moments said Marcus Peter's shotgun to beer in victory. Yeah.

That's a cop. Like every time I see Twitter moments, it's always just a cop, like just keep an eye on that cop. In order to shotgun a beer, you have to be drinking it out of the hole. That's not the real hole. You have to actually open it. The second hole. Yeah.

You have to suck it through the back hole. Right. Correct. And then we also had Trudavius White pick up that sheet. That was pretty funny. That was cool. That was a great classic. Yeah.

Blue across the field. I do respect the referee for being so quick to steal that away. You can't do that. He's like, dude, this is the, this is the, this is the AFC East. We do not tolerate cheating this division. So that wasn't like a playbook. It was just to print it out, you know, whatever the last play was, it's one of those weirds black and white.

Yeah. That's printed on a dot matrix paper. That's a, it's a still shot taken from like the Goodyear blimp at 20,000. Yeah. And it's, they do that throughout the entire game. I feel he probably has that exact same thing on his side. I feel like technology has advanced to the point now where we don't need to be looking at these like 1970s graphic novels, ass pieces of paper to figure out where the defense is

lining up. Microsoft thing. What's called the iPads? Oh, the knockoff iPads, surfaces. Yeah, the surface. The tablets. Remember when they tried to use that? Yeah.

Um, okay. Bengals, Browns, Battle of Ohio, Freddie kitchens should be fired even in a win. Is there a world where Freddie kitchens doesn't get fired this off season? Freddie kitchens is passing like he can't even pass the simplest of tests and the simple test that I am talking about is the Bengals have the worst run defense in the entire league and Freddie kitchens ran the ball six times in the first half. Six times he ran the ball. He has Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb.

He probably like in terms of tandems, he probably has the best. He ran it six times in the second half. He ran it 18 times and they absolutely body them with the running game afterwards after the game in his press conference. He said, I thought we had some plays in the past game in the first half. So that means that he like went in with that game plan, like we're going to pass to set up the run, even though the Bengals can't stop the run for shit. And then, uh, when asked why the running game worked better in the second half, he didn't

say, well, oh, we, we, because we ran it more. He just said we blocked better. So he really is stupid. He's a dumb dumb. You block better on the many, many more attempts that you had in the second half. Yeah. He's a dummy. He's a dummy.

He's the most dangerous level of dummy, I would say, which is where he's outsmarting himself, which is very easy to do for Freddie kitchens. But he's doing the thing where he's going into a game saying they're going to expect me to run the ball because they suck so bad at it. Freddie kitchens has, has wrapped himself so deeply in his own brain that he thinks that the Bengals have been playing rope a dope for the last 13 weeks to put out bad defense against the run on film so that he will then in turn try to run the ball on them. And they're like, Oh, we've got you right where we want you, Freddie.

No, Freddie. The Bengals, I think the simplest explanation is usually the right one. And it's usually simpler to just say the Bengals suck. Freddie kitchens is the guy who gets paralyzed trying to make the right move in rock, paper, scissors, shoot. He is sitting there saying, Oh my God, are they going to throw? Okay. They threw paper last time.

So they are probably going to go throw rock, but they know I'm going to throw paper against the rock. So I got to go throw scissors. He's doing that in the lead up to every game. And then he gets to the game and he just keeps throwing rock over and over. Actually, no, he probably throws paper over and over. They threw scissors the last 10 times. That's their tendency.

So I got this. I got this guy. Yeah. He's at a blackjack table and he will, he will die at a table trying to figure out whether or not to double down. So if you're wondering how could the Brown season become more Browns? Well, the answer is we have a training staff controversy. So after the game, Baker Mayfield said that Odell Beckham probably should have had surgery

in training camp. Probably would only missed one or two weeks. Isn't running like he should be. There's also been reports all week long that Odell Beckham wants out of Cleveland. I have no idea why, but they said that he walks up to players and coaches like on before a game and stuff and say, get me out. He goes up to a coach that's a ridiculous report and I love it. Just like he whispers to people like pregame like no, like, hey, like, good luck.

Get me out. Yeah. He passed him. No, he's like, please help. Please help. They're holding me hostage. That won't let me get surgery. I don't.

Was that Jay Glazer that reported that? I'll check. I just, I read that he's been flurry or a glazer. I read that he's been telling friends that he wants out and I don't think Odell Beckham really has friends. Well, on the other side, he's just got shit. That's so perfect that he's doing that he's, he is like one week away from writing it in his eye black.

Now, he always get me someone trade for me. Put it in diamond. Glazer. Glazer. Like in Crescent and diamonds on the strap of your rich wristwatch, just says trade me glazer. No, Glazer was right on when the giants traded him. So Glazer obviously Glazer might be Odell Beckham's only friend now to be fair.

He's also hurt. He's got a sports hernia, which is in the training staff screwed it up and I know Baker talked it back because it's like, you don't want to throw them under the bus, but it sounds like they prop. Listen, I'm stupid for like dysfunctional franchises do dysfunctional things. These things happen to franchises that can't get out of their own way. They have training staff that will not fix simple injuries in the proper, you know, time manner.

That's, that's what happens. Like this is the least, this is the most, oh, you think story of all time to have the Browns be like, oh yeah, we kind of screwed up that timeline. In lighter note though, a swagger junior is four and oh, so he's not a loser. He did not lose that game against the Steelers because swagger junior does not make road trips. Well, but it's still, he's still, he watches the game. Does he?

Yeah. I'm sure. I don't know. They just, they keep them at home. I think that counts. I think the road game still counted under swagger juniors. Like that's, he's the dog of record for that cherry pick dog for stat cherry picking. I'm going to definitely say like he's still undefeated.

Did you see how sad it was? And we're going to get to the college football playoffs, I'll go without his shirt on. Yeah. Looked really depressed. He, I'll go for people who missed it. LSU beat Georgia so bad, I'll go had to do the thing where he turned his jersey inside out so that people wouldn't heckle on the way out of the stadium. So he got, uh, got naked and you're probably thinking, well, you mean he just became a

regular dog? Well, yeah, he became a regular dog because otherwise people were like, Hey, there goes other that fucking loser. Well, it's still better than getting gored to death by Bevo true. But I mean, man, it's sad when a mascot dog has to take off his jersey. That's a sad state of affairs. It's like when you bring your, your parents or grandparents to a football game like in Philadelphia wearing an opponent's jersey and on the way out, you're like, Hey, you

got to hide something. Everyone's done. You got to hide. You got to hide that and make sure that they don't see you because they don't give a shit about your age. Yeah, please though. They will beat up. They beat up their own players.

I just want to say that, uh, I liked seeing Andy Dalton back in midseason form throwing a pick six and whiffing on a tackle. That was nice to see. He was actually good today. Like he's, it's crazy that he got benched. I feel like the bout Bengals could have had a couple more wins. They don't have a lot of talent. Well, I know, but they kind of, they're like, they're one of those.

I don't think anyone, I think it's impossible to take in the NFL. I really do because it's just a sport that's impossible to take. Like guys are playing for their next jobs. It's a violent game. It's hard to tell people, Hey, go out there and just don't try. Right. So that's why you put out a quarterback. That's a rookie.

No, I know. I know. It's going to be as good as, but Andy deserves better. I just, that's true. He, he, he wasn't like the pick six was funny. It was very Andy Dalton, but he was not bad and he actually can do the thing. Like he's going to be on a team next year and I will sell myself on him being decent again.

What are the bears? Well, that's what he's preparing himself for. No. That's exactly what that was. We're done. We've, that ship has sailed boys. It is a new Mitch. It is.

It's good to see Andy out there and I think that the Bengals have done a good job of tanking just historically as a franchise. It's easier to tank in the NFL through just decades of sheer incompetence than it is in one season where you're actively trying to do it. Yeah. They, and, and they're credit to Zach Taylor because they are at least trying and they're competitive in games. So credit to the Bengals for, for trying.

There it is. I do think that with Odell, it's just, it sounds cool to say you've got a sports hernia. Just letting people know that you're an athlete. Yeah. You play sports. He's got a sports bad attitude instead of like being like, I got hemorrhoids. Yeah. I got, I got sports herpes.

Yeah. It's not good. All right. Redskins Packers. PFC. PFC. These are your two teams. Okay.

They are. Well, one I own and the other I aspire to own one day. The Packers put it, put it into the Redskins Playoff Hopes. Okay. They were very much alive. I put a future down on them a couple of weeks ago. So now I'm just rooting for the Cowboys to make a playoffs of six and 10. That's really all I have to look forward to right now.

Haskins was out there with a leg injury, which is always good to see from a Washington quarterback. Haskins is the new heir apparent to like self-sac quarterbacks. He is so slow. I know he had an ankle injury, but he's also slow to begin with and he just kind of falls into sacks. Yeah. I mean, he did have a bad ankle.

He wasn't putting any weight on his foot. You know, stupid that he was playing. Yeah. It looked like Barbaro out there. Yeah. After he broke his leg, it was bad. It was painful to watch. How do you feel about your Packers?

I feel, I feel like the Packers are a little bit fraudulent. Oh, welcome to the right side of history. Well, listen, it took only beating the Redskins by five points for me to realize that, hey, maybe they're not that great of a football team this year. Aaron Jones is very confident though. He's crediting astrology for the Packers still being in it. He says, he's a Sagittarius. So he's got a lot of juice left and this is the time of year that Sagittarius is peak,

I guess. I don't know anything about like astrology or our stars or moons or anything like that. So the Packers, their offense just goes, quarters, halves with just looking terrible. They have scripted plays that look good and then they just fall apart. They did it again today where they, it felt like they were cruising and then it just didn't, the cruise didn't happen. I went and looked. The Packers have played 52 quarters this year, 16 of those quarters.

So 30% of the quarters, they've scored zero points. That seems like a lot for a 10 and three team. Yeah. 25 of the quarters, almost half of the quarters. They've scored three points or zero past the quarters. So yeah, half of the, half of their games in those quarters, they've scored three points or zero. So they go stretches where they just stop scoring and it feels like that's something

that will specifically bite you in the ass when it comes to the playoffs. And on top of all of that, every single quarter gets worse. So they score seven and a half points in the first, 5.7 in the second, 5.5 in the third, 4.7 in the fourth. Okay. So they need to drink more water is what I'm hearing. I'm just saying, those are stats. Stay hydrated.

I know that we have a big game coming up. It's Bears Packers. I'm sure, listen, people will throw this back in my face, whether the Bears win or lose on Sunday. What I just said stays true. So they, they stuck in the fourth quarter is what I'm hearing. Why don't you just have the scoreboard operator in Chicago? It's in Chicago.

No. Oh, it's in, fuck it's in Lambo. Yep. That's hometown cooking. Yeah. Well, okay. On the sideline, just have everybody hold up your fours before every quarter. I'm just saying.

And I know there'll be people who are mad, but I'm just saying like facts and I'm sure that they've seen this. They know this. If you've watched every Packer game, if you're a Packer fan, you know exactly what I'm saying right now. I'm not doing it to be mean. I'm doing it because we talk about every team and I happen to think that a 10 and three team should not have half of their quarters where they score three points or zero points.

That's weird. Yeah. It's very strange. Their new motto though is Aaron Rodgers has a new thing that he's going to say. You ready for it? Yeah. We need to win ugly and they won ugly. Well, that's what they do every week.

They're going to win very, very ugly. Mike linen. He's made a career out of that. They're going to win very, very ugly because that was that not to toot our own horn, but we actually kind of predicted exactly how that game was going to go because the Redskins kept the Redskins can stay in games by just running the football and shortening and like punting. They have good special teams.

They punt it and then they flip the field and they just play that game until the clock hits zero and they've only lost by six and you're like, wait, right? That happened. Right. I'm going to call a hand the interim head coach for making absolutely no effort whatsoever to even have a controversy about him keeping the job going into next year. And so he's like, he's house sitting right now. Yeah.

He's like, he's like, my job is to just like water the plants. I'll flush the pipes out every now and again, maybe have one party where I break a few things like my quarterback's leg. But yeah, for the most part, he's just like, I'm going to keep the lights on and that's all they're paying me to do. He's the beta guy who comes over for the Super Bowl party and tries to sit on the couch and you walk over like, Hey man, can I get my seat back? He's like, yeah, no problem.

Yeah, sorry. Can I get you anything? Yeah. Yeah. That's what he's doing right now. Okay. There's Packers Sunday. It's Packers Hate Week.

We'll see. We'll see. Like I said, I don't think the Packers, I think they're putting them in the same boat as the Seahawks. There are a step below the 49ers and the Saints in terms of teams that are like at that extra level where they have it all. Back on the Dwayne Haskins thing for a second, he, he continues to make the smallest incremental improvements in his stat lines and in his performances week after week after week.

But we're never going to know this season if he's going to be the guy of the future or not. And this is the most Redskins thing ever because what's going to happen is the Redskins are going to finish with a very high draft pick. They're probably going to reassign Bruce Allen, which just means, I don't know, like just being a full time drinking buddy of Dan Snyder, but he might not be the general manager next or he might not be the vice president or president of football operations. So they might be in a position to draft another quarterback.

And I have no, I have no doubt in my mind that they're going to pick the wrong quarterback and just have, just have two quarterbacks that aren't the answer at the same time back to back years. Well, just keep taking quarterbacks every single year. Did you take a quarterback with every draft pick? Ryan Pace actually said that when he was, became the Bears GM, he wanted to take a quarterback every year. Didn't happen.

Um, it sounds a lot better, but you, teams should be smart and start taking a quarterback every single year. Whether it be in the sixth, seventh round doesn't matter. Just keep, keep taking shots at it. Uh, okay. Lions Vikings, this game, we had a couple, this game happened games today. Uh, the Panthers Falcons is another one we'll get to, but Lions Vikings, this game happened. The one thing about this game is the Lions didn't lead and they led in every single other

game this year. And the Vikings bounce back against the Lions. It's a little bit of medicine for Kirk Cousins. A pretty good game. Yeah. Uh, they, here's, here's one thing about the Vikings looking forward to next week, even they're one in six in Pacific and mountain time games under Zimmer. So they're going out to San Diego to play the Chargers.

That's a big time. Close your eyes. Uniform game. Kirk Cousins in San Diego doesn't look right. Nope. Does not look right. Mike Zimmer sucks in California. Mike Zimmer probably just hates being in California.

He's gonna have to wear sunglasses. The entire, like disdain at the entire state. Yeah. That's going to be, and the Chargers, a little bit of a, the Chargers have a better point differential now and obviously helped today because they blew out the Jaguars than the Seahawks. Yeah. The, the, uh, the Chargers have like a plus 38 or something.

They're having a classic Chargers season where they're just bad enough to miss the playoffs and just good enough to be like, man, they should have made the playoffs. Yeah. Phillip Rivers is doing an awesome job of, of making sure that the Chargers are just good enough where they won't be able to draft a good quarterback. Yeah. To replace them. All right.

The best game in the one o'clock's, the best game of Sunday and the biggest game with the biggest implications, the 49ers and the Saints. This game, this was a snowball game where they just decided we're just, everything's going to like be thrown out the window here. You have a good defense. I, we have a good defense. Let's pretend that neither defense is good and score a shitload of points. If you can be in the zone coaching Kyle Shanahan was in the zone coaching because they had

500 yards, 500 plus yards in the dome and shout out our guy, George Kittle, big time players make big time plays him getting just ripped to shreds by his face mask and still running down the field. He was like an angry bull on like the PBR tour when they start, when they get it in that little confined space and he's just losing his mind. That's what he looked like when he was doing, everyone was just grabbing and prodding at him and he got a 39 yard pass completion on fourth and two with 15 yards tacked off. He looks like he's in a fight every time he has the bonus.

He looks like he's in a 230 AM drunken brawl at like a fast food restaurant where it trays and shit are flying over the place. He's just, he knows where he has to end up and he's just going to fight every guy to get there. It's fun watching him run. Yeah. That was the play of the game. Obviously, a beast.

I feel like the Saints play three games a year where they score 43 points, 45 points and lose. It was, it was a snowball game though. It just started in and there was a couple of crazy plays to start and then it was like, okay, things are just going to go this way. You see big 12 games get like this and you're like, all right, last team with the ball will win. We're going to say, hey, score a game as well.

Was it 48, 46 never happened, but we were with history. So this also was your answer to can Jimmy G went a big game. Yeah. He had to throw the ball. He won a big game. Well, is it mirror? Does, does the Saints defense play better when Teddy Bridgewater is a quarterback? I don't know.

Today. I feel like they do maybe because they know that they're not going to outscore anybody. They were like, I said, I think, I think it really comes down to, I think the Saints defense is not bad. In fact, they're good. Right. Kyle Shanahan was just in the zone. Right.

They were just calling shit. They just worked nonstop. I think both defenses are in the top 10 or top like seven in the NFL. But for whatever reason, they were just like, yeah, you know what? We're just going to score points. Yeah. Let's just have a, let's just have a good old fashioned shootout. So what this game means, if you are the one or two seed, you're seven times more likely

to go to the Super Bowl and the Saints as a franchise are seven and four in the playoffs at home and one and seven on the road. And this means now crazy as it may seem, the Saints are the three seed. So they just bumped down from the one to the three and the Packers of the two and the 49ers are the one. It's crazy. Yeah. That is crazy.

And now is this another example of a hangover loss for the, for the state of Louisiana where they're riding high off an SEC championship game. Most of those fans are probably out party and they probably didn't go to sleep last night. They were loud. Just stayed drunk. So maybe the first half wasn't as loud as they need to be. It was, it was a great game. I hope that we have this game, like a rematch of this and the playoffs would be fantastic.

And I, this, the 49ers have gone through just a gauntlet schedule. I mean, they, they haven't been home. They were played in Baltimore last week. They went to Florida. They went to the Panhandle for the entire week. So they haven't even been home. Are they going home now? I think they are going, I think they are finally going to go home.

I think their schedule lightens up at least a little. It has to lighten up a little bit. You can't get any worse. No, because they just have gone off of like, they, I think they've played all the first place teams. So they have the Falcons at home and the Rams at home and then they finish against the Seahawks. So yeah. I mean, this is a statement.

This is the, you look for these wins when you're the one seed or the two seed and you're like, are we for real? These type of wins are the, are we for real wins and this is, this is the one. So they, I think if you ask any 49ers fan or anyone in that organization, you're going away for two weeks. You're not going to come home and explicitly you're going to stay in the Panhandle. You got to play the Ravens in Baltimore and the Saints in New Orleans. You got to split.

I think they take it. Yeah, absolutely. So yeah. Winning one of those two games and then they, the Falcons next week, they lost by three to the Ravens. So they basically have gone toe to toe with everyone important in the NFL. Kyle Shanahan revenge game next week against the Falcons at home. I think, I think the 49ers are going to put up like 50 points again.

I agree. I agree. It's going to be a bloodbath. And the Dan Quinn and they're going to be staying at home. Right. So Roni field goal revenge game. That's where the famous field goal was against the 49ers. Yes.

So it'll be, it'll be 51 to three. Yeah. We'll have to see if that's a score. Gummy. All right. Next up, speaking of field goals, Dan Quinn, if he, he, I would imagine Dan Quinn after the game tonight, like his honey was like, his wife was like, honey, do you want your favorite dish?

And he's like, nope, I just want to see the Jets dolphins tape because the dolphins attempted the impossible. They attempted to beat a team by only kicking field goals. They kicked seven field goals. The fact, the score of 21 and having it be seven field goals is so fucking funny. And the, the Jets win on a last second field, so there's 10 total in the game. My question is, do you think there's anyone out there and we don't care about fantasy, but is fantasy football playoffs?

Do you think there's anyone out there who won their fantasy football playoffs because of Jason Sanders? Do you think anyone has Jason? Yes. Yes. I'm sure. I'm sure it happened because you saw that they were going up against the Jets. So that would be, but there's not, there's only, if you're in a 10 or 12 team league,

you're not, you think the dolphins kickers owned Hank, find out how many, how many, what percentage is owned. I think that you pick them. You, it might be one of those leagues where you pick up whoever is playing against the Jets. Okay. One of those type of things. I don't know.

I mean, yeah. Like 35 points. Could you imagine if you lost like this is why fantasy football sucks because at the end of the season, you go to the playoffs and something like this can happen. And you're like, what the fuck? I really wish I'd bet my over three and a half field goal bet in this game. That would be really nice. Carry over.

Absolutely crushed it. Do we now, the weirdest thing with the NFL is rules that made no sense now make less sense because we now are, we were, we were now overturning PI. It's a new fat. Yeah. We're trying it. All season long. No passing appearances were ever overturned or called when it, when it was challenged

because it hadn't been called on the field. This game was decided essentially from an overturn and Brian Flores got big mat. Well, it's like, uh, it's like having a really strict teacher. It's always easier to let the rules relax as a year goes on. So like first day of school, Nicole Kidman marches and she like wraps you or Michelle Pfeiffer, right? Yeah. Yeah.

She beats the shadow or students with rulers and stuff. And then by the end, Hey, you can write, you can do your, uh, assignment on Bob Dylan gangsters parents and all the kids are like, Oh yeah, Bob Dylan, that, that folk artist we all know. Uh, so it's one of these things where Roger Dill at the start was like, we're not going to overturn shit. And then we'll see who starts to stop challenging. And then we're going to gradually relax and give you a little bit.

What this is all leading to is the saints to get absolutely boned by, uh, by a passive appearance that does not get overturned in 17. Yeah. And everyone to make the same joke online. Yeah. Did you see the saints though? They hacked the, or the 49ers hacked the rule book by committing past their fairings on a punt.

On a punt. You can do that. Yeah. You can do anything. Nick Saban would have flipped his international waters. You can do whatever you want. It's the purge. It's incredible.

You can murder a gunner. You can take out that knife that we talked about, the secret knife and you can stab a gunner if they're in the punter, if the punters on the field. It was also that play was so perfect because you get it very few times in the football season. You get to basically flex on idiots online. And if you didn't have the sound on for that game, like I saw Jason McIntyre instantly was like, why wouldn't they challenge that?

And people were just responding. He's like, dude, you don't know the rules. You can't, you, you can do whatever you want on, on a punt formation, which no one knew the rules. We had just heard them say it. Dean Blandino explained it to us, but for those like two minutes, you were the master of all knowledge. Right.

Well, everyone else tried to figure it out. And then the Albert explains it to you and then you can explain it to somebody that doesn't know everyone in the house. You're like, Hey, listen up. I got a new rule for you idiots. Yeah, it's great. What do you got? Hank, do you have them?

Jason Sanders, not even owned, not even, can't even find it. I got distracted with my, I was looking at my fantasy team. Oh, how did you win? No, we don't care. We don't care. Hey, by the way, Brian, I realized it's a two week playoff system. I was very confused. What?

It's a different league. Okay. There's, there's a difference between being mad when you're at the end of your coaching tenure for a team and being mad at the beginning. Like that mad was I'm just defending my guys. We're trying to win football games here. We're trying to build something if, if it's flash forward like four years from now and he's mad and they still haven't won any games.

It's like Brian Flores, that guy's got a temper and he's got to go. Well, this mad was Brian Flores being mad because a loss here means that maybe some of his guys, his assistants might not come back next year. So he's like getting mad at the refs for ruining his guys who worked hard for him in the build up and the prep for that week. And then they, they had to go out there and lose the jets. Did you see Robbie Anderson tried to do the, the hurdle today? Yeah.

And he just got absolutely destroyed. He got smoke. Yes. Because Robbie Anderson, I don't know how big he's, he's probably like, he's a little guy, right? No, he's tall. Is he? He's slender.

Yeah. He's slender. That's what I'm saying. So like nobody's afraid to go up high tackling Robbie Anderson. Yeah. So I don't know why he thought he could teabag him and just like jump nuts first. He's a 0.5%. There we go.

So I, I'm going to safely say that no one lost our league because of it. That's no, that's just incorrect. I mean, 0.5. SquareGami tells me that someone show us, send it to us, but 0.5 is no one has it because they're like, fuck it. The dolphins kicker. Now people are going to try lightning in a bottle and pick them up. We should pick them up in our league.

Okay, let's get to the greatest performance we've ever seen by the one and only, James Winston. Oh my God. This was, this was it. This was it. This was his peak performance. This was, like, you can name whatever band you want to name their best year, their best album, if you want to talk about, you know, like a pitcher having a 21 season, and a

two ERA, whatever it may be, your best year in your life, I'm sure you can think of it like, that's the year I crushed it. That was this game for James Winston. He did the full James Winston. It was beautiful. He had the literal James Winston hat trick where he had over three touchdowns and three interceptions, and he started the game off by throwing an interception, and James is the king of that.

First pass. He leads the league in my own personal stat book on game opening interceptions. You just, you undersold his performance though, because he had, he had 456 yards. He had four touchdowns passing. He had one running where he did the awkward, like, James Winston doesn't do dive ins, like the Tom Brady dive. He does a stand up where he kind of just shoves, they do like a shoving match until he kind of falls in.

He had one of those. He had three interceptions. He had a pretty much broken hand that benched him for a drive. It was a small fracture. Which is kind of a bitty fracture because no matter, no matter what type of fractured is when you have hands the size of a three year old, it's always going to be a small fracture. It's a cute one.

He took himself out of the game with his small fracture and then put himself back and he's like, you know what? It's broken. But I still think that my broken hand is really, you're not able to tell the difference between James Winston with a hand that's been smashed by like a ball peen hammer or a James Winston with a fully healthy hand. Yeah. Like what's the worst is going to happen?

Are you going to fumble in a hilarious fashion? I wouldn't want that to happen. He had a comeback of four. He was down 14 in the second half, comes back and wins the game. They go, he had his best receiver go out with a hamstring. It was James on steroids. I loved every second of it. In fact, he had 456 yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions.

He just, you know how there'll be guys who like, you're like, yeah, it doesn't really show up. It doesn't really show up in the, in the box score. Everything James does shows up in the box score. Yeah. It's he is, is box score. His stat line is a fucking party every single week. It's an adventure.

You look at that diary. It's a perfect diary of how he spends his time on the field. Yeah. I look at James Winston's like game log and I always, I'll go and look at the game summary and I'll see the initial line and then I have to scroll down because you got to see how many times he ran the ball. How many times like he probably ran it six times for two yards, how many fumbles he had in fumbles for a lot.

It's, it's a roller coaster of emotions. I love James Winston. He also, I don't think he has ever seen a linebacker in his life. All of his interceptions are exactly the same. It's a linebacker that he just never saw was there. It's, you know how we joke about James Winston? Like I don't think he, is there, is there something like middle blind blindness, like short sighted and long sighted?

He doesn't see the middle line back. He just can't see it. It's, it's, it's like he just doesn't see that, that level of the defense ever. Yeah. It's, it's exactly in between ways of the near sighted Mr. Magoo or whatever. Yeah. The guy that would go up and like pedicac just thinking he was a cat. Yeah.

Jamie, you're right. He's got good launcher. He can air the ball out. He can hit a guy 50 yards down the field. I love him. I love him. He's not bad on a screen pass either. He is, I'm going to say this, this is going to be very high praise.

And I don't mean everyone relaxed cause I'm not meaning like he's as good as this person. But I think James Winston is our big Ben air parent. Okay. Okay. Well, they've got similar legal history. Yup. Yup. They're just, you know, off sketchy off field stuff.

They have the classic, like they're never fully down on the, on the field. There's so many plays where James Winston has six guys around him and then he just kind of emerges from it. A little chubby. A little chubby. Fat, fat face working. Every single throw they throw has 100% confidence behind it. They've got very sweaty faces too.

Yes. I, he is like, that's, we need someone that we can laugh with, laugh at, laugh with, have ups and downs and big Ben's getting to the end. I think James, if God willing, he's in the league for another decade because he is, and I said this a million times, but he is the funniest quarterback I've ever watched. Yes. I love James. I want him on the Bears.

I don't think you do. I do. I think you get sick of it. You've already had Rex Grossman. Yeah. But he's extra. Yeah. Rex Grossman times two.

What you're getting with, with James is like Rex Grossman on the world's shittiest steroids. No, but Rex Grossman's fumbles weren't funny like James's. They were pretty fun. No. He was a fumble six guy. Yeah, but he was a big fumble six guy. He was a big fumble six guy.

When his arms flail and everything, it's just, I just love him. Do you have an AFC team? I love him. I love those guys that are like, well, I'm a Bears fan, but the chargers are my AFC team. Then that's the team that you would want to James on the charger. Yeah. You don't want them too close to your heart.

You don't want to live and die with James because you're just getting brought back to life and shot in the temple every single Sunday, multiple times. I love them. I love them. And you know what? You regret that. You know what? I won't say is you would regret having James as your, as your main bitch.

You need James as your Guma. Okay. Fine. That's fine. So maybe I'll just be a James guy, like wherever he goes, I'll be there. Not actually, but in spirit, what do you say? One of one of one. James guys.

Yeah. Me and the one of one, who is, he was doing like weird, he's, he's, his emojis are a little out of hand. Wait, you're telling me that the guy that's dedicated his entire life to removing how great James Winston is might have a couple of screws loose. I'm starting to think this guy might not have it all up there. Okay. I'm not fully there yet.

I'm not going to, I'm not going to say it all the way. I feel bad for Frank Reich. Can I just say that? Because he's, oh, I don't. To me, he is losing his mojo. He looks like he's got the lowest T of any coach in the league right now. He looks like an upset hardware store manager when teens come in and don't know the difference between different types of reciprocating sauce.

He's just like always just staring out on the field, looking longingly. I got you for something better. I got you. This cult season, they've lost five of the last six. They've lost all their mojo, but it's okay because they can throw it all back to this was the season. Andrew Luck retired. No, you're right.

It's fine. In the big picture, yes. It's all good. In the big picture, you're absolutely right because there were no expectations on right this season. Right. And then there were, so they got to go back to none. But it's still sad looking at him on the sidelines just like a wet cat just standing there looking

disappointed in anything. That's, that also. It's a disappointed father. There's certain like a loss in Tampa Bay in December when everyone's not used to like warm weather. Yeah. Always looks different. Always looks different.

And then there was a dad whose daughter brought home Ben Rathaus Burger on a date. I was like, Hey, your dad meet my boyfriend. Yeah. Brought home. James. Yeah. The cult are done. That was nice for a little bit, but they, I really wrote that down.

I was like, this was the season. Andrew Luck retired. You can, you can anything bad that happened this season. Yeah. It started off with some hope, but now you're just like, yeah, guess what? That was a season. Andrew Luck retired. It's not a big deal.

Quentin Nelson is bodying punters and almost killed that guy. Yeah. You looked like he wanted to snap it. We probably could. Oh, absolutely. So the bucks, I think if you're allowed, if you're able to rip a man in half, you should be allowed to do that on the field. Yeah.

It's just like if you've glad if your body has achieved that level of peak male performance, you should be able to exercise it as you see fit. I don't hate that. The bucks are going to finish nine and seven. I told you this last week they have the at the lions. They have the Texans and the Falcons Texans at home. I mean, I don't trust the Texans. We're going to get to them next, but I don't trust the Texans at all.

So if the bucks finish nine and seven and that would mean that they have won six games in a row, you have to keep James have to even if they finish eight and eight. Yeah. Yeah. No, I think you're right. So they're keeping them. I think they're going to keep them. But they're in that weird spot and, you know, Steven Shea, number one bucks fan.

Oh, it was that. Was that just. Yeah. Johnny Banana. What just happened? Hanks. Hanks girlfriend's on. She's on TV.

She's on TV right now. American Ninja Warrior. It's the show before the show. But yeah, first look, Johnny Bananas. The pre-show. She's on the A&W pre-show. So if you're a bucks fan, you're kind of screwed now because you probably don't like we love James because he's not ours.

Like you were saying. Yeah. I don't want him on the bears. If you're a bucks fan, you have to keep James if they finish off the season with six straight wins. Yeah. No, you absolutely do have to do that. James is going to be around.

You're going to go nine and seven again next year. Love it. But you'll make memories that last a lifetime because you don't forget James Winston. No. He does not fall to the ages. Again, there is, he is a party in the, you know, stat book. You know what he's like? He's like a friend that has a really cute dog that you get to go over and play with

sometimes, but is really poorly behaved and tears up the couch and shit at its own home. You just want to go over. A puppy you can leave behind. You want to follow him on Instagram and boop him occasionally, but you don't want to do more. You don't want to pet him. I want to sleep. I want him to sleep in your bed.

Yeah. I want to see him go under the covers. Trust me. Don't let James in your bed. All right. So the Texans, ultimate Texans game Broncos, Texans, just when you think that the Texans could be for real, let's have some, let's have some tough talk with Texans fans right now.

You guys, this is why no one ever takes you for real. This is a, you hear announcer say this is the kind of game that you have to win if you want to be contender in the national football league. Like you're coming off a big win, right? You're feeling pretty good about yourself. The great teams find a good way to beat the Broncos. Now I will say this about the Broncos. I called Drew Lock being good and he is good.

Make no mistake about it. He's not. What did you call it? He's not lucky. He is very good. This off season. He's draft even. He is very good.

He is lucky. I take that back actually. He's lucky, but he's consistently lucky in all the ways that you see. Wait, who said he was lucky? He's occasionally lucky. Oh, I think he's good. I agree with you. No, he's good, but he's also, you can tell when a quarterback is really good is when

they're consistently lucky at everything that they do. He finds himself in the right place at the right time. He locates the balls really well and he's got the M word. He's got Moxie. Yeah. He does have Moxie. He's, um, he actually, he actually made history today. He was the first quarterback to score to throw for 300 yards, three touchdowns plus in, uh,

his first road start. So John L. Wait, listen, just keep taking shots at it and eventually you're going to find a guy and I think you might have found a guy. Well, true lock is also doing something really, really smart right now. And for the last two games, he has been really good about finding players that his current GM has brought in and making them look good. Yeah. He's going to give you a lifetime's worth of credibility with John L.

If you make John L. Wait, look like he's competent. He's like, I don't know what this guy's doing, but he makes me feel smart. So I'm going to keep it around. All my draft picks look good. So today, no fan. He hit him for what, like 130, 140 yards, like that. Cortland Sutton had a big game last week.

So he's completing passes to the right guys to make his bosses happy. Uh, yeah. He's, I guess he's the guy. I actually, if you're going to suck, you might as well have a quarterback that you feel good about going forward. And I think that's that. I think that is drew lock. And it's kind of crazy that, uh, they even are going to consider, I mean, knowing John

L. Wait, he'll probably just be like Joe Flacco. Let's do it again. Yeah. You look healthy. Like he'll, he'll fuck. He'll do something to fuck this up because I can't just in my heart of heart think that John L.

Wait has solved the quarterback situation. That makes no sense to me. Well, let's think what would, what would the ultimate John L. Wait moves be this off season? He would bring in Nick Foles probably, right? I could bring in Tom Brady. He could talk himself into Phillip Rivers. Yep.

Easily. Yep. He's probably already got like a locker with Phillip. He's got, he's tech. He's been texting with him. Uh, are the Broncos officially the team you don't want to play down the stretch? Yes. There's always one.

If there's true luck, cause he's got, he's got the it factor. He passes the eyeball test. He does. He does throw a nice ball, uh, but back to the Texans real quick. What do you do if you're the Texan? I mean, this is now they could lose the AFC South. Yeah. You realize that they play the Titans twice in the last three weeks and Titans are the

hottest team in football. I don't like that. I don't like that scheduling thing. That's crazy. Like they, this is Hank, you always make this joke as a Patriots fan, but like there's at least a decent chance that the Texans could miss the playoffs and have it be like, well, they won the Super Bowl against the Patriots on that Sunday night game. As far as there's fans are concerned.

Yeah. They, they are. That's crazy. They're playing the box. They put, so they play the Titans Titans next week Titans box Titans. Those aren't easy. Yeah. Their defense will be dressed up funny though.

Yeah. You can't show up for a game wearing average Joe's shirts and then play those aren't easy games. So yeah. I, I also, the Texans, if you're looking to bet on the Texans ever, just see if we'll fall fullers playing cause there's so much better when he's playing. He didn't play today. Their offense looked terrible and credit to the Broncos defense for playing well.

But they're, I feel like every time he plays, they're just a completely different offense than when he's out and he's out. He's out a lot. He's out a lot. All the time. The announcer in the first half made an interesting comment. He said that Romeo Cornell, the defensive coordinator on the, on the Texans would be in the hall of fame.

If there was a hall of fame for assistant coaches, which is just an awesome idea that I think that we should probably get around to making all fame for everything is all the Ryan's. Yeah. The, the buddies, the Rex's, the Rob's, Todd Haley would probably be in there. Yep. Todd Haley. Yeah.

There's a bunch of Dave Taub, the special teams coordinator with the bears. Then he's with the chiefs now. Mike Tomlin's twin. Mike Tomlin's twin. Just cause. Pete Carroll's twin. Pete Carroll's twin. In.

Yeah. There's a lot of them out there. There's a lot of twins that got to go in. Yeah. Deuce. Deuce. Yeah. Yeah.

But for right now. Yeah. Todd Bowles. Todd Bowles is a classic guy who's. Great head coach too though. No. That's not Todd Bowles. No.

Greg Williams. Under. Greg Williams. Overqualified head coach. Or no. Sorry. Under qualified head coach, over qualified GM or assistant coach. Yeah.

Like he's a great assistant coach and should be a head coach until he is a head coach. And you're like, Nope, that doesn't work. He's the Peter principle. Yeah. Which is you get, you get promoted in life until you reach a level of incompetence and then you get sent back down to where you should be. Where you should be exactly there and be good at your job. Yeah.

All right. Let's see. Next up. Let's actually, let me do a quick ad read and then we will go to, we have the late games. We also have that Panthers Falcons game, which again, it happens. Do we need to discuss that one? No, I have one thing that I wanted to say about it, but it really is that that game basically didn't happen in terms of like the universe.

Young Hui Koo is doing everything on that kickoff unit. He recovered. I think he recovered a fumble, right? Boom. Boom. That's awesome. Koo. Wait.

That's pretty cool. Yeah. It's pretty cool. So yeah, it was 20 to 40. The other thing about this game, Cleep Lakeman, fucked me over again. He's on fire. Cleep Lakeman is on fire the last two weeks. Did you ever see that?

Check that? No. The dangerous thing about your DMs being open is that I feel like people send you stats and they know that you're not going to look it up, which I wouldn't either. Yeah. So I'm not blaming you, but we got people are not to blame for this. No. People are taking advantage of you and then by proxy taking advantage of me because you

tell me the stats and then I do it too. Well, let's see. Cleep Lakeman, NFL official statistics. I mean, it's, it's, it's a problem. So I love that proof of all reference has stats that they keep for ref. That's great. But yeah, I think that Cleep Lakeman should be. I think we're marks is what I'm saying.

When we're talking about Todd Bowles and the Peter principle, Cleep Lakeman, his career should have capped out at being the referee for the Dr. Pepper halftime scholarship challenge. Yeah. Being one of those guys that just raises his hand up and counts every single, but it's, I think people are taking advantage of us when they send you those stats that are completely random and we don't look them up and then it's like, Oh, the next two games, it goes exactly opposite. Well, I'll show them.

I'm not going to, I'm not going to bet on a single Cleep Lakeman game for the rest of the year. That's right. All right. Chargers, Jaguars, 38th birthday for Phil Rivers. Happy birthday. Phil. Love you, Phil.

I love a good birthday game. Right. And he was awesome. Yeah. Is the opposite of jaked alone when he threw like four interceptions and four. Yeah. He was awesome. The Jaguars have quit fully 100% quit because you can tell when a team quits, when they

just give up so many running, like big run plays and, and screens, Austin Eckler had 12 touches for 213 yards. Yeah. So that's a, that's a team to quit. Well, what happened on one of those plays where he ran for like 70 yards and a touchdown, they got to Phillip Rivers and they hit them on a blitz and then Eckler caught it and then just ran. Nobody came close to touching them, but, but the Jaguars kind of just stopped playing

because they're like, that's awesome. We just hit Phillip Rivers. Yeah, we got that. So it's going to show up on that little under pressure stat thing that comes up on the broadcast. So that's one knockdown on him. Birthday punches. Birthday punches on Phil and then Eckler is just sprinting at 70 yards in the end zone unscathed.

Yeah. So they're done. Doug Barone is probably done. Yeah. I hate to say it because I like Doug a lot. Yeah. And he's always welcome on the show and he'll land on his feet because of the coaching fraternity helps its own.

He's from the Bronx too. Yeah. He's from the Bronx. Yeah. Yeah. He went to high school with Diana Racini's dad. That's right. I don't fight Jalen Ramsey.

You can't fight. Yeah. So that he could kick anyone's ass is what we're saying. So the Jaguars though are a tragedy in championship windows. Yes. When they were a quarter away, what are you looking at me like that for? When they're a quarter for the record, I'm always looking at you. Yeah.

I know. But you gave me, I know when you give me eyes. You gave me eyes. Did you not give me eyes? Championship. Keep going. I'll let you finish. They were very good for a while.

And they won, when they, that 2017 team, they were one quarter away from the Super Bowl. That defense was all young guys who you thought would be around for a very long time and they had the foundation built and they had a future Hall of Fame quarterback and Blake Portals and you thought it was all going to work out. And here they are two years later and it's a tear down, not a rebuild, a tear down. So I do think that this is like, if you're a Jaguars fan, now obviously if you're a Jaguars fan, you know your history of your franchise and you're not actually thinking like we're going to be good for a sustained period of time because that year was an anomaly

more than anything. I don't think. I don't think. Their defense was so special. But I don't think after that year. All right. The Jaguars will be, you can, you can count them to be in the playoffs the next five years.

I thought that their defense would keep them competitive in, in like the next seasons going forward. When you looked at their roster, they were one of the most talented rosters in the NFL. You know, like that stands for Pittsburgh Steelers too. Yeah. It's just, it, it happens so often in sports where you think that you have a young, good team built for like sustained, you know, playoff runs and then it can just all flip in two seconds.

Do you not buy that? I do. You're, you can't. Yeah. I mean, it's, it's different. You're, I understand what you're saying. I'm struggling with it right now personally, but I, right. I'm struggling with it right now because there could be a chance at like the Bears with

Khalil Mack and that whole defense could never be back in the playoffs. So it happens. Right. I mean, the Jaguars, I agree with the big cat. I think that they were, they were a special team for a little bit, but when you have really, really good defenses like that, it's better if you don't have your starting quarterback that's like taking paternity leave for six months and, and not showing up and, and arriving quarterback.

I think he said quarterback. No, no, no, no, no, no. Blake Bortles would never take paternity leave. I was like, what? Never. That's not in his bag of tricks. They always felt like they were a little, they weren't as stable as the Bears defense. No, no.

And again, this franchise's matter, like infrastructure matters. I'm not saying that Jaguars fans realistically thought that they were going to be awesome for the next five years, but in 2017 they had a defense that I would have said was going to be good for the next three to four years at least. And if they could figure it out on offense, they would be good and they would be competing for playoff spots. It's falling apart very, very fast. And they've traded players too.

I want to put together a little study based on teams that are really good in warm weather towns. So you start to like enjoy a little bit of success, but Jackson is now is Jacksonville. Jacksonville also like, what can you enjoy? It's well, it's North Florida. It's, it's the Canada of Florida. They don't want to go there. They got a good beach bars.

It's just hanging out there a lot. Yeah. Nice warm weather town and you're like a dominant team for a season. I feel like that lends itself to teams fucking around, you know, getting a little careless in the off season. Just be like having a few extra glasses of bubbly. Fuck it. Let's do it.

All right. Mint you mania is over. No, I don't think it's over. He just needs to surround himself with a with a competent running game. I think that Leonard Fernet is just so goddamn frustrating. I mean, he, I feel like Mint you mania. Now he is a moxie guy, but he's like every single game. It's like four yards a path.

Well, when you say Mint you mania, then of course it's not going to stick around. Right. Nothing that's ever been a mania or a insanity. It was pretty cool. Yeah. A while, but then they shot John Lennon. Well, so the Beatles, Paul McCartney when he wrote that shitty Christmas song. Yeah.

So nothing good can stay. If you call it a mania, a mania implies that you just go fucking nuts. What about Hulkamania? That's like the greatest mania of all time. That stayed around for a long time. Hulkamania. Well, then he started sleeping with his, well, we don't have to get in that, but that was a long, that was a sustained mania.

I think that was probably the longest mania. WrestleMania still going, but that's only, but once a year. Yeah. And only three hours, but it's mania. So Minshu mania could be great once a year. Baby baby mania. Yeah. It was awesome.

So going strong. Someone's going to make a shitload of money off their beanie babies when that comes back. The bottom line is I like Minshu, but let's not call him a mania because that implies that it'll be a flash in the pan. And I think that he'll stick around. Okay. So yeah, I mean, I don't, you think he's a starting quarterback? I do.

I think Gardner Mitch is a starting quarterback. I don't know. I think that'll stick around there. I also, I like certain parts of their offense. I think he's actually exactly a mania. I think he's a perfect backup quarterback that will come in. We'll hear from him a few more times. He'll have a team for a year that's his team and maybe get to the playoffs, but in terms

of like, is he going to be a starting quarterback franchise guy? No. The problem with, with Minshu is he is, he's very a maniable. So he, anytime he plays really well, it becomes a mania. Yeah. He's got like a mania aura about him where he's got the mustache. He's got the swagger. He's your pump.

And so anytime he's playing well, it is amazing. So it's going to be a high and low. It's going to be bipolar. This, his stat line today was very depressing though. It was 24, 24, 24 past completions for all. 162 yards. Yeah. It's not.

Well, he also, he had a sweet touchdown pass to Nick O'Leary who people forget he doesn't wear gloves. Yeah. So his, his white skin blends in with the seams of the football. So it's tough to see where he's putting it. I would wear gloves just because if you drop the ball without gloves, everyone's like, you're an idiot. Yeah.

Like everyone's going to look at you and say, what kind of idiot wouldn't wear gloves? He's the gloveless guy. Right. He's known as that. He's also Jack Nicholson's grandson or something like that. Really? Yeah. I think, yeah.

No, the great white shark. We fuck that up every time people get very upset. Okay. So Jaguars have quit. Just circle that because whatever the line is, just bet against the Jaguars. They've quit. They've 100% quit. They actually, I think they play the Raiders next week.

Go against them. Quit. Because the Raiders did not quit on John Groot. They're not going to quit on Groot. They can't. They must. He'll kill them. Yeah.

And Mark Davis will eat them. Titans Raiders. Derek Henry season. Yep. We're a Derek Henry podcast. Tractor Ceto. Tractor Ceto. People need to be just, every time they see a Titans game, just be like, Derek Henry

season. They're the hottest team in the NFL. It's crazy how good they have been the last like month. Ryan Tannehill's six and one as a starter. Do you think Ryan Tannehill, Seeky question PFT promo code take $10 off Seeky question. Do you think Ryan Tannehill has started to buy some stuff with the money he's going to get from the Titans? I think he's, they should franchise tag him, but as a safety after that hit that he laid

on her. So the interception, that was, that was quite a rundown that he had. But yeah, he is going to, he's going to get very, very well paid. I wouldn't give him a long term. He already was well paid because he's a first round pick, but he's going to, but he's going to get a shitload of money and he got the fifth year option, right? Right. So he's, he's made some money.

He's lived in Florida, no state income tax. Now he lives in Tennessee, no state income tax. He's making a shitload of money. Yeah. They're probably, if they're smart, they would franchise tag him because like with Ryan Tannehill, we wait for the next step. Now we're waiting for the other shoe. Right.

But he, I think, yeah, I think he goes out to dinner with his wife and he's like, yeah, you know what, get two apps. Hey, you know, I'm six and one as a starter. Lauren, tell you what, why don't you go ahead? You buy a second AR 15 to leave in the trunk of a rental car. Fucking do it. You want another pair of super oversized brown boots for fall? My guest.

Oh yeah. Lauren Tannehill. That's her name, right? Yes. She strikes me as a big Christian girl. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. She's just rolling around with pumpkin spice lattes and every cup holder in her giant

SUV. Yeah. A lot of oversized sweaters and the Graham is popping in Nashville in the fall. Oh yeah. Yeah. So Ryan Tannehill is now six and one as a starter. She probably has like nine pairs of cowboy boots that she buys for every day of the week. Hats, jewelry all over the place, just like 16 necklaces of varying lengths that she wears

all at once. Yes. Exactly. As a turtleneck of gold. Yeah. She can hear her coming. She's like a dog leash. No pigeons are going to get caught by Lauren Tannehill.

That's for sure. Those squirrels will hear her coming. So yeah, the Titans might win the AFC South. This is crazy. Like we said, we'll do the reverse, but they play the Texans twice down the stretch and they also have the Saints, which would be a tough game, but it is in Nashville. So you've got two Mike Vareble revenge games, two Mike Vareble revenge games. Like this is crazy.

Derek Henry, he hurt his hamstring, didn't refuse to come out of the game, had 103 yards in touchdown. No one wants to tackle him in December. He doesn't even practice during the week now, which is that's good. If you're the groundskeeper for the Titans practice facility, you don't have to worry about your turf getting chewed up by the tractor. So and he is, you're right, it gets cold outside and you don't want to put your helmet on him.

You just, you want to run the other way. I think that this Texans game that this is a portal game for the, for the Titans season. I think if they beat the Texans on Sunday, I'm still not clear about the portal games. It means that basically if you win that game, everything else just happens after that. So if they win this game on Sunday against the Titans or the Texans, they're going to win the AFC South. Okay. If they win this game, they're going to win the AFC South, but that would mean that if

they win this game, they're also going to win their last game. Yeah. Because the Titans have this, the Titans have the distinct feel of a team that fully believes they're not only good, but maybe even better than they are. Yeah. Like they believe that they are the best team in the league, which if you can keep that rolling is a dangerous thing. They're delusional.

Right. They're delusional, but if you're delusional enough in the NFL, then you're actually good. Correct. You just have to be crazy enough to believe that you don't suck. McGryan Tannehill right now thinks he's a franchise quarterback, bottle that. Keep it going. That's kind of like us. Like we, we are so delusional in our own abilities that as long as we keep thinking that we don't

suck as much as we do, we're actually good. Correct. So we're doing all that. We could all learn a lot about lying to ourselves. The NFL. Oh, wow. We're on TV right now. Oh, there's friend.

That's a friend. Chow Chicks in the office. Go listen to it right now. Great podcast. Let me interrupt you real quick because we talked about this before when we were writing the, the Chris Berman stuff, the Titans wide receivers have some great names. Oh yeah. So the best.

There's Kari Blazingame, Michael Pruitt, Anthony Ferkser, Yep, Jonu Smith, Tajay Sharp, Khalif Raymond and their best in their best receivers, AJ Brown, which is very normal. Yeah. Everything else. Yeah. Yeah. His, his name. Has done an injustice to us as fans.

Do you know what I'm about to say? There's many. I mean, Hank has, Hank has a lot of you. Take a picture. Hank's taking a picture of the TV. Thanks for taking a picture of the TV. Oh, six. Girlfriend.

I got a girlfriend, but she's on TV. The NFL has done us an injustice. When everyone's calling you. What did you say? Relationship Lockwood. Here's the injustice. The last game in the black hole is next Sunday. Yeah, that's it.

It should have been flexed. That sucks. It should have been flexed. We should have had this on Saturday night. We should have had it where like everyone, a million crowd shots of Oakland, first 20,000 people get a gorilla suit. Oh, we should have had beer bongs out of mannequins. We should have had people smoking weed.

There should have been. We should have had the time that, remember when, when March on Lynch lit a blunt from Al Davis's forever flame or wherever you go, the eternal flame, we need that again. We need them. That happened. That was unbelievable. That was unbelievable. They got to storm the field.

Yes. If they storm the field in their last game, they're taking the goalpost with them. We need everything. We need it. You know, people cheering. We need a chant. Like one more season or, you know, Mark Davis needs to get in his all white suit and roll around and get grass stains and John Groot needs to hug everyone and they need to take

seats out. Like even though the A's still play there, rip the place to the ground. I need all that and it's going to be a 405 game against the Jaguars that's just lost in history. But if they win, which they should win, then it'll be a nice celebration after. I guarantee you there will be a multiple coffee cans worth of ashes from deceased Raiders fans, relatives. They get spread all around the field and still live ones too because there's a lot of Raiders

fans. I feel like the Raiders like lead the league and amputees that they do beer bongs out of their, you know, false lengths. And so they probably were like, Oh, well, I actually cut my leg off so I could put my ashes onto the field. I'm still alive. Yeah. They cut their leg off and then they burn it in big Alice flame.

Right. Right. And they're like, here we go. But so it's too late, but I just want to say it. I want my, I want my feelings to be said out loud that this is a travesty that we don't get one final night game in Oakland in prime time for the nation to watch and soak in like they should have, they should have made this the, the, the random Saturday game Saturday night game in December and let us just have it and let us fucking bask either that or give

us like a second Monday night football game, the late one. Yeah. So the one that happens from like 1130 until 130 or have the, yeah, have the Jaguars and Raiders Sergio dip out there for it. Have the Jaguars and Raiders play Monday night football week 17 because, you know, they don't have money in football, but those two teams are going to play off. Right. That's the day where every coach gets fired.

Right. So who knows what's going to go down. Fuck. Why is Ria running a train? Well, I didn't mean to say that. Wow. Yeah. That's a nice.

Damn it. You're going to say it's a nice change of pace. Damn it. I saw the look in your eyes, but she actually is like driving a train. That was, that's not what. That's what you meant. I'm sorry. Hank.

Hank. I'm sorry. You, you're watching when I'm watching this. I said the wrong thing, but you know what I meant. Hank is staring at. She was driving a train. Yep. She was.

Let's Hank. Let's tell you. Tell you what. Let's move on. We'll cut that part. Get us something. Make you feel better. Let's talk about the Patriots.

Hank, let's talk about it. The refs. The refs fucked us that the Patriots still did not look good at all. I said it would depend how they lost, whether or not the panic button would be pulled out. I think they fought hard in that game. They could have won if the rest didn't fuck them over like seven different times. They probably would have won, but the panic button has still, it's probably moved closer than it was a week ago.

Okay. So it is now inside your house. So sitting on the porch, it's inside your house. It didn't really change anything for the standings. This is one of those weird games too where no one wants to hear Patriots fans complain about the refs, but objectively speaking, they were completely fucked over by the refs. Right. But in a keel, Harry touchdown.

What was anyone looking at? Yeah. He was very clearly in balance. And you're right. We touched on one drive that they took crazy. It doesn't slap the same when it's not like the Lions fans complain about getting robbed by the officials again. Right.

But it was objectively speaking, they got very much. They got fucked. Yes. It was bad. It was a good example of how do we not have sky judge because the reason why they weren't able, they didn't have any challenges left, but the whole saints thing in the NFC championship game and the rule that has come out of it is that we don't ever want games decided by poor refereeing and somehow we have not fixed that problem.

It's actually become worse. It's become worse. It's funny how when you try to write rules on top of rules on top of rules, it's easy to actually have all those rules fuck everything up when just chaos is a little bit better. If there were no rules that weren't getting screwed up, you'd at least understand and be like, this is, you know, this is the NFL, this is wild. I love it. But yeah.

Sky judge. So sky judge could easily have fixed that touchdown. The refs blew the whistle too soon on the Harry touchdown. Yeah. And they blew the whistle too soon on the fumble recovery touchdown. Yes. Just like if you're a ref, just never blow your whistle. Yeah.

Nothing productive happens after you blow a whistle in an NFL game and actually a lot of things productive happen because we all get to just like cheer for plays and think they happen. And then also there's nothing more exhilarating than having that hope that maybe there's a review or a flag when a play goes bad for you when you're like, Oh no, wait, there's got to be a flag. There's got to be a flag. There's got to be a review.

Something's got to change. Yeah. And then to not have that is the worst feeling in the world. So Hank, are you worried that your team runs a gimmick offense now? No. The only time you get big plays is if you do something totally like a flea flicker or some kind of weird. Just gadgetry in general is a calling card of the Patriots offense right now.

Yeah. All I know is that it's hard to beat teams twice in the same season and Patriots and lost to the Chiefs Ravens Texans pretty much anyone they would play in the playoffs. Yeah. Lose to the bills. You're basically set. You're basically free and clear in the answer you play off picture. That's a good call.

I don't like that, Hank. That is a really good. It's really smart. Shout out to the equipment managers on Kansas City for losing the bags. This is why you never check bags. This is why you always take your bags with you to the edge of the jetway and you make the flight attendant steal them out of your hand and say, sir, that giant like 70 pound behemoth that you're carrying with you isn't going to fit on this 12-seater flight.

And there's that moment where you have to give it up and you just lock eyes with the person you're like, no, no, no, like this bag, it's going to be safe. Right. It's going to be on this plane. Correct. And they just didn't have anyone do that. So apparently they switched planes at some point, which I didn't know that NFL teams were like flying Southwest where they had to like get to a city and then get on a new

plane. But the bag, the equipment manager, I guess didn't go down to make sure that the bags were offloaded and reloaded properly. So they ended up in like New Jersey and then they had to drive them to Foxboro. Is that what happened? Yeah. And it's crazy because they actually would have had to forfeit, which I didn't realize was a thing, but they would have had to forfeit.

So if, if Patriots fans had banded together and blocked down I-95 today, the bags would have never gotten there and the game wouldn't have been in the hands of the officials. Wow. Patriots fans could have won this game. Just steal all the bags. Yeah. This happened to the bulls in the nineties. Michael Jordan wore number 12 one game because they just didn't have jerseys.

Really? Yeah. So, so are we saying that everyone should be pro stealing bags of your opponents teams? Oh, if you, if you see an equipment truck, if you see a shit little bags with your opponent's logo on them and you don't steal them, you're a bad fan. Yeah. Yeah. Someone stole his jersey and he had to wear number 12.

There's a picture of it. It's pretty fucking funny. So someone stole just his jersey and he had to wear number 12. Someone's going to steal Eli Manning's jerseys and they're going to end up on sale on eBay in three weeks. Manning. He lives in New Orleans, Louisiana. That's a little, that's a little fun trivia for you if you ever want to press someone.

What numbers has Michael Jordan worn 45, 23? Well, that's it. Oh, and 12. There you go. You heard Kenny Albert say magic. I have a quick, oh, shout out to the chiefs. Actually, they did the anti-Tomlin where they were like, Hey, remember when we played the Patriots and the AFC championship game and we sat back and let them just like cut

us to death. In the words of Trent Dilfer, death by a thousand cuts. They actually blitz this time. So way to learn. Good job. Also, they, they snapped the ball directly to Travis Kelsey on that Golan touchdown. And you just know when he gets it, when you snap the ball directly to Kelsey, you see the like little spark in his eye that he's ready to do some dumb ass shit.

Did you? He's ready to just throw fundamentals out the window, but he got the touchdown this time. Did you see someone found and it was the same formation that the Ravens and Texans have both run against the Patriots in the last month? No, I haven't copied that league. So this is where Belichick puts this on tape, let's everyone copy it and think that they've got the key.

And then the playoffs, he just, he switches up entirely. I got a blind resume for you. You ready for it? Yeah. Okay. Tell me which Georgia. Georgia is the best. Tell me which quarterback you want was talking about because, you know, the Patriots have

been struggling and offensively smoking mirrors, 26 for 40, 283 yards, one TD, one interception, 23 for 31, 244 yards, three touchdowns, one interception, 28 for 50, 292 yards, one touchdown, one interception. Who would you take? This is like one of those things where you're like, Oh, this one leader during World War two drank 12, I'm just asking who would you take? Just answer honestly. The second one is.

Oh, okay. No. Oh, first one was Patrick from the homes. Second was Mitch Trubisky. Third owner is the Sean Watson. That's your week 14 stats. Okay. Make that William.

Make sure you make that on a blind resume for me so I can tweet it out. Get everyone upset. Just saying things are as of it's a, what have you done for me lately league in their last one games, Mitch Trubisky is clearly the superior quarterback. This is the bargaining part of denial that you're seeing. All right. Before we get to the rest of the show, Steelers Cardinals. I love duck.

I fucking love duck. He's, what are we going to do? What do you mean? We're going to root for duck against Josh Allen. No, I don't know. I don't know. I didn't know you were talking about that. Yes.

You know what? Let's get the, let's get the dual jerseys. Yeah. Yeah. We'll get the split jerseys where we were getting jerseys actually. We love our children. They seem more like jerseys to get. All right.

We're going to get on that. So he was duck stat line was fucking awesome. 16 for 19. Yeah. 152 yards. That's official. How you get it done? I fucking love duck and guess what?

This is like, this is old school Steelers. Their defense is so goddamn good and they just need duck to do duck. Looking at him sitting X root off on the bench, they were sitting right next to each other for most of the game when their, their defense was out of the field. It makes me wonder what Mike Tomlin ever saw in Mason Rudolph. I know. Doesn't it? I know.

Like just their body language. Duck is having a good time. He's smiling. His teammates are coming over saying hi to him. Mason Rudolph, his body language is basically braille. Yup. He just sits there staring into, into the sky like the, the clouds are going to make a 3D magic eye puzzle appear for him.

It's crazy. It's crazy. Isn't it weird? Yes. How, how long of a leash Mason got? It's just because he went to a big school and you know, he was a higher draft pick. Duck. Fucks.

Duck is, you can win with duck if your defense is elite. He doesn't kill you. No. He does not kill you in the words of Mike Tomlin. Duck has not killed us yet. So Mike Tomlin almost got his punter killed. Yeah. He did.

Well, I don't know. I, there's no way he called that. Yeah. So he did. Well, he did. He said it. This is how we have to, we have to be very careful with how closely we take Mike Tomlin as words now.

Right. Knowing everything that was probably going on with Antonio Brown and that whole situation that never got out. Right. There's the ultimate. Ultimate players coach. He's the ultimate players coach. So he said after the game, he's like, that was a look that we had identified when they

had six people lined up and then they were double covering on the outside of the gunners that that was a green light for a punter to go ahead and run with it. And then they switched formations at the last second and they ended up sending their punter directly in like it was the charge of the Lyper Gauge. It's like running directly at somebody that's Sean tailored him and laid them out like Brian Morton. And I think that I see, I think he's just covering for him because it looked to me like the punter, it was a low snap and he just freaked out and was like, I got to run this.

So that was baffling because the Steelers defense was unbelievable all game. And Kyler Murray, all time bad interception. I also don't really understand like Cliff Kingsbury. It feels like keeps keeps calling plays that would work in the big 12 when Kyler Murray was faster than everyone on the field, but he's not faster than everyone on the field anymore. I have noticed that, that Cliff is starting to run a lot of plays that have three running backs in the backfield.

And then Kyler, he's flirting with, with going to single wing. That's what he's doing. He's like putting it out there on tape. Like eventually I'm just going to run a single wing offense every single play. And it's like Kyler Murray trying to get to the edge and like, oh, actually the defensive lineman usually runs like a four five two. So it's like, who cares? He can get you.

Kyler Murray Watt is almost as fast as Kyler Murray. So I don't really get it. It's weird. I've seen flashes where I, I feel like Kyler Murray is better than what his coaching has done for him so far this year. I think, yeah, it's, it couldn't be any worse. No. And they, they had that frisky team for a while and it feels like they've lost their

frisk. Yeah. They stopped scoring points. That's, that's when they really lost it was when they stopped being good. Yeah. When they stopped being fun. Um, one guy to circle, Tiana Johnson out of Toledo, Maction. He is a classic how the hell do the Steelers just somehow get awesome wide receivers, like

not in the first round. He was a third round pick. He returned to punt. He also had that touchdown. He's going to be in like two years, you're going to be a pro bowler and be like, wait, they have that again. How'd that happen? You know, it's weird when he was returning that, that kick and he was running up that

sideline. When you go back and you think of James Harrison returning that pick in the Super Bowl, they, they looked like they were running about the same speed. Yeah. That's what a freak James Harrison was athletically. He was. And, but, but you know what I mean about Steelers wide receivers? Just they grow on treats.

They always got another guy. They always have another guy. There's only one guy that they've completely whiffed on, I think, and that's Lyma Swede. And I swore he was going to be good at Texas. Well, Mart, Martavis Bryant smoked a little too much weed. That's true. Just a little. But he was there.

You can see it there. His blood alcohol content was a score. It was, it was, it was there. You could see it. All right. Before we finish up the show with some who's back and a couple of football guys in college football, a quick couple of ads. We got Dollar Shave Club for everyone out there.

Okay, let's finish up the show.

Let's do a little who's back and then we'll talk some college football playoff and we'll send you on your way, Hank. Let's pump it up, Hank. How you feeling? I'm feeling actually great because of my who's back. I have a few but my first one is my boy Gordy. Gordy Hayward. Not a hat.

God and Hayward. I saw that. I saw your tweet. His broken hand. They said it was going to be like after Christmas when it first came out there, even later potentially. He's already back, fully healed. They said he's going to be cleared to play tonight against the Magic. So quick recovery.

It's helping for doing fine without him but just going to get him back this early. I don't want to put a bummer on good news. There's a really good. Yeah. We'll worry about that in the spring. Okay. All right. How would you be feeling right now?

100% peaking too early. Yeah. Way too early. But the nice thing about peaking too early is with the new format that the NBA is going to adapt, there's going to be like a mid-season tournament, right? Yeah, they'll win that. So it rewards you for peaking too early. I still don't really understand.

No, I don't either. I don't think it's ever going to happen. It hasn't more tournaments. It hasn't been serious enough for me to even look at it. That's where I'm at with that tournament thing. I couldn't tell you what the actual design is because I'm not ready to even take it seriously. I think it's going to happen.

Okay. Great. When it happens, I will look into it. It's not a moment sooner. It's bizarre. It's like Adam Silver spent a long night on Twitter and came up with this idea. It's one of those things where the ratings are bad and they're trying to, they're going to do it to make them better, but it's either going to make them better or way worse and

then they're going to be super far. Yeah. Do we miss the Warriors yet? No. Okay. That's the rate. Like everyone keeps talking. Readings, readings, readings.

Yeah. We don't have a historically good team anymore. Well, in theory, as of right now, the Lakers are doing pretty well, but again. Fuck them. My other who's back is the Lane Train. Yes. Yeah. Lane Kiffin, head coach Ole Miss.

His face is so chubby. He's gotten bigger. Yeah. He got off the private, he was off the private jet. There was people there to greet him. He was like holding babies. People were yelling at him to get a burner phone. Smart.

Did you see his son? No. His son was so, oh my God. Just exactly what I expect out of the Kiffin family is I don't know who, I don't know if it was his wife. I don't know. I know. Probably not.

Okay. So anyway, someone was taking a video of Lane's son, probably like eight years old and was like, guess what? He's like, what? Your dad is going to be the head football coach of Ole Miss and he just goes, yes. And then gets in the car and just starts chanting, S-C-C, S-C-C, S-C-C, just like the cockiest little kid. I loved it.

I loved it. His kids are like the sports equivalent of military brass. Yeah. Just everywhere. Your dad is going to be the coach of Ole Miss. He's like, well, for how long? Yeah. Two years?

Three years? Really, the difference is now they know that like when they get to run around on the field and throw passes for an hour after the game, it's a full bowl to stadium and not just like half. Yeah. It's amazing the career that Lane Kiffin has had so far. They probably have. He's coached in like every conference.

He's coached in the NFL. He was a head coach in the NFL. Got fired via PowerPoint by Al Davis. Got left on a tarmac. Probably twice. Yeah. He's been left on a couple tarmacs before. He's going to end up being like the coach of Alabama.

So this is, it feels like this is his second to last spot. You know, like this is obviously, very obviously another stepping stone school, right? For Lane. He's not going to be at Ole Miss for, he's, he likes being in young misses more than old misses. But he's, he's very clearly, he's very clearly looking at something else. And I think that something else is Alabama. Well, he needs to, he needs to have like a peak Carol now.

He's not going to have a peak Carol USC run, but he needs to have the run where he has enough cheating that he wins, but not enough that it can stick to him and then he can leave right before all the shit goes to, you know, hits the fan. Yeah. That's what he needs. It's always like, oh yeah, they were, there was a lot of cheating there, but he never has that big splash of Lane Kiffin, like Ole Miss suspended, Lane Kiffin missing half the year.

Yeah. He needs, he needs a good two year run. Maybe they, they go to some nice bowl games and then he jets for Alabama and then they never get to go to a bowl game again. I'm sure that Alabama will not, he's going to screw up the Alabama down when he gets there. Oh yeah. Big time.

Just squatting on this take. He is going to fuck up that program massively when he gets to Tuscaloosa. My third who's back was Mr. Bean. I thought I saw a tweet earlier that he was like making a comeback, but I just researched his Twitter and I didn't see anything there. You can't do that to me, Hank. You can't tell me that Mr. Bean's back and then pull it away from me. Well, I'm telling you that I saw it, but on my further research and my second, uh, guess

I'm not finding anything, but I have a feeling that I'm right. So be on the lookout. It was like Mr. Bean is back, uh, full announcement coming tomorrow. So Mr. Bean is like- So if you see an announcement somewhere today, credit me. Mr. Bean is like a Charlie Chaplin for the 21st century, except less funny and he gets his head stuck in turkeys instead of tiny legs. Very funny.

Mr. Bean for like a couple of years there, that was like my entire relationship with my dad was living through Mr. Bean and laughing at that. Just watching the turkeys- Yeah, watching it together being like, that's fucking funny. So Mr. Bean, shout out Mr. Bean. My who's back in the week is Jesus. Jesus is back again, this time in video game form. So Christianity has been, I guess, having trouble recruiting kids to go to church with

modern technology. They're making a Jesus Christ video game, like a life simulator. So it looks pretty sweet. I'm gonna sign up for a Twitch account probably and get into some live streaming with this game because it feels like it's right up my alley. Okay. Commercial is electric. The commercial is great.

Have you seen the commercial? I have not. It's like a POV game. It's- As Jesus? Yes. Where do you respawn if you die in your Jesus in a video game? Well the end of it, the teaser at the end of the thing was like him, you know, for his

POV of some famous, you know, times in Jesus's history and then the very end like the teaser or like the oh shit, it's like it goes dark and then his eyes open and he's in the cave and he opens up the cave. Yeah, press X to remove the rock. Oh wow. Yeah. That's crazy. So you're hanging out prostitutes, you're avoiding the cops, it's Grand Theft Auto Middle

East. I'm gonna play it. I'm very excited. And I will stream it. I will sign up for a Twitch account. Whatever Twitch is. I'll figure it out. Yep.

I'll make it happen. My other who's back this week is Patrick Reed. Really? Patrick Reed got disqualified from a tournament or I think he was disqualified. Declaring someone's wallet? Pretty much. Yeah. The viewers stealing, stealing all the soul out of the game of golf because he very clearly

intentionally cheated. His bow was in a bunker and he took two practice swings. And when he did it, you know, you're not allowed to crowd your club. When he did his practice swings, he pulled back at his backswing and brushed sand away from where his ball was to very, very obviously just get a much easier shot. I love his ball. So Patrick Reed, the bad boy of golf is back. And Patrick Reed guys love it.

By the way, we're speaking of stealing things. We've totally forgot to mention Gottlieb's new fire tweet. The New England with decapitalized Patriots and no oh and Patriots. Hmm. It had four likes when we got our hands on it. No. Oh, so you get it. I got it.

You're like no offense. But this time he added bigger. Yeah. Right. So it's like the D they have D, but they don't know this is funny. Close up of Patrick Reed, improving his line as a dog digging in sand. That is pretty funny. So wait, go back to the Patriots week because I'm having trouble tracking that.

So, um, yeah, there's the D is capitalized because they have a D they have a D no O because they don't have an O. So he's got a D and no O. Yes. Sounds like Doug's marriage. This is this is I'm watching this Patrick Reed. This is funny. I love this move. So please.

Yes, it's great. Isn't it? That's something that I would do on a golf course. Yeah. He's a shitty CEO who's like a hundred golfer who says he he shoots an 86 and he goes out there and cheats and no one will say anything because he's their boss. Yeah. He's that guy.

Uh, okay. My who's back. Two of them. Dr. Pepper challenge is back. Well, it's not anymore, but it was this weekend. It's so crazy to me. It dawned on me this weekend. It's so crazy that that is like just part of American society.

Yeah. It's an Americana thing. Dr. Pepper challenge. Every year we get, we get to the championship games and then kids do chest passes and people get mad on Twitter. I've gotten mad before someone won this week doing regular passes. They just, all they need to do is make it higher. You can't just pass high.

Well, it's also kind of a shovel passes. Yeah. Or just make it farther away. So you have like, but you don't want to see misses. You don't want to see. You want to see. There was that one guy who missed. I'm actually going to tweet that tomorrow night when Eli starts going real bad from

you live. Look at Eli. Yeah. Yeah. That will be good. You just hold on to that one for the future. I was talking to my friends when we were watching that on Saturday and it's, it is crazy that you aren't with you on Saturday.

Yeah. You weren't with me. I said friends. Oh, fuck. Roasted. Yikes. So it is crazy that a soda company is paying 100,000 is paying for people to be able to go to school.

Correct. It's like, we're going to take, we're going to take money that we've made off of people that probably drink a shitload of kids, kids that drink a lot of soda and then we're going to give that money to kids to be able to go to school, to be able to work in marketing for companies like ours in the future. It'll blow your mind and then they'll use that money to give a scholarship. Not to get political permission to go there granted. If you are running against giving free tuition to all of America, you just need to be like,

hey, we won't have the Dr. Pepper challenge anymore. Yeah. You can't do that. You can't do that. Don't take it away from me. You can't take that away. Or, or if you're running. Imagine that world.

If you're running to say my college plan is everybody in America gets to compete in the Dr. Pepper challenge. Yeah. You get, you get free tuition if you can, if you can chest pass into an oversized soda. I'm going to have nine referees standing surrounding you on a football field. And if you can make more than 60% of your chest passes, then guess what? You're going to go to Rutgers. I think we just solved it.

I think we just solved it. All right. My other who's back is bowl games. The bowl game schedules out 40 bowls, 40 bowls and I'm just going to throw this out there for everyone at home. The Jingle Bells ESPN every single commercial. The best. Uh, you don't like it.

It just gets, it gets repetitive. That's the best. But that's when you know you're like deep in the shit of, you know, you're, you're, you're watching San Diego state play, uh, you know, I'm like Toledo on Christmas Eve. That's when you know you're in there. I love the games that they cut to when there's like maybe 20 people in the stands. Yes. It's like, how does this happen?

Yes. So I looked at the bowl season schedule and we have some great, they've done, this is my favorite bowl season schedule we've ever had because we have Friday bowls to start it off, which usually never happens. It's usually that like five Saturdays. Yeah. We have two Friday bowls, one in the middle of the day, bonus weekday bowl. Uh, and then when I've always preached that they need to give us something to wean off

of bowl season, well guess what this year we have some wean off bowls. So January 1st is like the big bowl game day. Uh, shout out the Badgers during the Rose Bowl. No big deal. January 2nd, there's a day game who's playing Boston College in Cincinnati and then at night it's Indiana, Tennessee wean off bowl. That's pretty good. Yeah.

And then Friday, there's another day game. Well, I liked another wean off. I liked that there's a wean off bowl that sounds like it could mean something because it's big schools. Yeah. Big Confidence, Ohio, Nevada on Friday. And then PFT, hold on. We have even another wean off bowl Monday, January 6th, when the first Monday that doesn't

have Monday night football, uh, ULL versus Miami of Ohio. Oh, I love that. Love and honor. Yeah, I love that. So shout out to the bowl, uh, selection, whoever scheduled this. We finally have a good amount of wean off bowls where it's not going to be January 1st and then boom, cold turkey. We have some like shitty ass bowls that we can slowly get, you know, get, get dry for

them. What's the most random sponsor that we have this year? Because I always liked the ones that are like the, uh, like United Pool Cleaning Associates presents the cactus bowl. The Monday, the January 6th bowl is the lending tree bowl. Uh, many of you know it. It's one of the best bowls out there. Um, oh, we have the VRBO bowl.

Okay. That sounds high tech. Yeah. VRBO. Oh, that's actually the citrus bowl. Damn. Alabama and Michigan. I can't wait to see how Alabama is going to have anyone, uh, playing that.

Oh, the satellite camp bowl. Yeah. Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl. Okay. Yeah. I've been here for years. The Sun Bowl obviously been around forever. Um, yeah, I'm just excited for bowl season.

I fucking love bowl season. Do we have like the sasparilla, uh, backhoe bowl or whatever that one is? Uh, we have the Sophie, uh, Hawaii bowl. So I don't know what that is. Yeah. We have the bad boy mowers, gasparilla bowl. Yeah. I love that one.

Yeah. There's some great bowls out there. The cherubundi bokeh rotan. The bokeh rotan finally got it. The wet the beak. Yeah. They finally got it. It's a yogurt sponsorship.

No, the Chobani. Oh, close enough. I bet cherubundi is also a yogurt company. That was, that was, I, I should get credit for that. Cherubundi. What is cherubundi? Cherubundi is a drink, private company, which sells a functional brand of cherry juice beverages. That was a free ad.

Uh, it's just cherry juice. Hmm. That's like when that, that's, arm came out. That's sketchy. Yeah. Where'd you get all these cherries from? Hmm. Okay.

Yeah. Let's wrap up the show. College football playoff. They did the right thing. Feels like this is the least controversial, uh, Final Four that we've had. You want to talk about Wisconsin at all? Yeah, sure. Uh, we're going to the Rose Bowl.

Penn State fans are big mad online. Haha. I'm laughing at you. Uh, yeah. And Saturday night was a great first half. As you know, I'm a father, so I get very tired and have to go to bed early. So whatever happened in the second half, just, you guys are just like, you didn't get your hopes up though.

So you, you said on Friday, said all week, there's no way Wisconsin wins. So you gave him that game before it even started. Yeah. And you guys are like the Packers did. I did. You don't like the Packers. You just don't play well in the fourth quarter. I did a periscope, everyone watched Stella take a shit.

I was on, on the street. I was outside. Uh, I, I gave my heart away. I thought that the batters were going to win that game. I thought it was going to be one of those games, but it wasn't. So whatever score going into the, into the, into the half was like, all right, it was here. Oh boy.

Was I feeling it. And by the way, it was, it was, I'm still in protest. So it's not a big deal. Like there was a blatant fall start that the Ohio State Buckeye scored a touchdown on. And the Dr. Pepper challenge makes the halftime extra long. So it shouldn't even count. Right. It's a totally different game.

That's why you fell asleep was because the halftime. It's one, one. Yeah. It's one, one, the big 10 championship. I mean, you can just settle for being co big 10 West champion along with Minnesota. No, we're co big 10 champions with Ohio State and we're co big 10 West champs with Minnesota. You're co-co. Yeah.

We have two. All right. So that's one. Yeah. But we're in the Rose Bowl. You ever heard of it? The granddaddy of them all. Maybe the most prestigious bowl.

Better than being in the house. How did they get it? Uh, well, the state fans are going to be very mad because they obviously keep mentioning the Illinois loss the badgers had, which makes sense. But if you look at common opponents, they lost to Ohio State. We lost to Ohio State. We kicked the shit out of Minnesota. They lost to Minnesota.

I think that's fair. I don't think you should be. We were ranked higher than them before this weekend. I don't think you should be penalized for losing in a conference championship game. One of my favorite things about, about Rose Bowl season is all the Twitter avatars that get changed and your Twitter names that get changed. Yeah. People add the rose emoji in.

So for like a month and a half, everyone's going to think that Wisconsin is filled with like democratic socialists. Yeah. So, uh, I have a big 10 versus the world shirt that I dropped on Saturday night. If you want to, why Penn State fans, why don't you stop being mad at me and start getting together? Let's all, let's all come together and try to dominate bowl season so that we can dunk on people with lice.

So you think Ohio State is going to beat Clemson? No, I don't. I actually think it's going to be LSU Clemson in the final PFT. I think it's going to be LSU also Clemson in the final. Hmm. Yeah. We agree. I mean, I might take a loan out and I have a future on Ohio.

I have a future. I have a heavy future on them. I got a future on LSU. I want to feel pretty good about it. I think that, uh, Clemson, if you saw Dabbo, how he had the boys all loosened up when they were making the final four announcement today, he had them all eating pizza. They should let us watch the first drive of that game before. By the way.

Yeah. Betts go live. I loved and we're obviously very biased, but I loved the way the coach Oh dealt with the entire selection process will play anybody, anybody, anywhere as old Pat Hill, uh, Fresno State. If you're, if you're a gambler, you know that was the best. They would always schedule just ridiculous opponents, but everyone else like Dabbo and when Saban's in the mix and you know, when Urban was in the mix, they do the thing where

they pump up themselves. They pump up their opponents like, Oh man, playing Georgia is the toughest thing in the world. Coach Oh was like, we'll play anyone anywhere. Just tell us where to go. We'll be there. Give us a feel. It was refreshing.

Just give me an address. Yeah. That's all coach Oh needs. Uh, a smothered pork chop and colored green dinner waiting for his boys the night before and an address. That's all he needs. He'll show up and he will kick your ass and Joe burrow is forget all the on field, like how good he is and forget all the, uh, like measurables and how he's going to probably

be the number one pick. His just body language makes me want to go to war for him. It's crazy. I have not seen someone who has like a natural leader, just ability that just oozes off of him. He threw a touchdown and on his follow through his fall through took him to the sideline. He just kept running to the side. It's crazy.

It was like the cockiest thing I've ever seen, but it was so like with him. It was just, he was following his follow through. Right. Exactly. He has that look where you're like, I just like tell me who to fight. I got it. You know who he is. He's deli.

He's deli with my talent. I don't know. That's it. No, I'm dead serious. He's still in life as Matthew Delvedova, but he's, I don't feel the same things I feel for Matthew Delvedova that I feel for Joe Burrow. If you just look at Joe Burrow, I'm like, I want to go to war. Yeah.

So for me, it's like if you took deli's DNA, you know, Jurassic Park, he had to fill in the gaps of the DNA. If you took deli's DNA and filled in all the gaps with Gardner Minshew, then you get Joe Burrow. But like for the general public, for the, it's probably different. Insert your own, but I think Joe Burrow has that for everyone who walks out. watches Joe Burrow they're like holy shit that guy has like some kind of feel to him that's like he just has that look to him you know you wait yeah the way he carries himself

is something that everyone can see yeah you're describing how I feel about Gordon Menchie right now about Joe Burrow right but I think what what I'm saying is I think most people could see that Joe Burrow wears I don't know if everyone sees in Delhi I think I think most of us do you want a championship dude he brought LeBron a championship that's true he did bring LeBron on his shoulders only other bold note that I had is whoever scheduled all the bulls shout out having PJ Fleck play in Tampa Bay so he's literally just a giant boat right just he's gonna look he's gonna keep looking at that thing at the Raymond James stadium take that boat down like he's gonna be so distracted while I bet you're

just gonna be filled with Minnesota fans yeah they're gonna bring their oars up there yes and he's gonna try to walk that boat out of the stadium he's gonna try to cut the sales off of it and take him back to Minnesota and those are my new oars sell the boat I have one question for you one random hypothetical because it's just a thought that entered my brain it probably won't happen over under point five NFL teams that try to make a call to coach oh this offseason none zero yeah and I think it's not because he's not a very good coach and he's the turnaround has been incredible they just know they just know they know better this is the job that like the him talking about in-state recruiting and we

do quickly football guy the week you can vote for so Joe Burrow was one he uh smack lost his phone or smashed his phone and his parents wanted to buy him a new one he said nope got a phone got a game to play don't need a phone get a little Tom Brady in him yeah CD lamb had the nobody's nobody safe eyeball or sorry I black he's awesome he's electric and a great name too he's I mean he's when he touches the ball it's just insane and if it weren't for Jalen Hertz being not a good quarterback like I would like to see I can't wait to see CD lamb with a real real quarterback Ravens Marcus Peters crushing the beer we talked about that and then finally we'll finish this coach oh he said that he has 18 to 20 in-state homes

he's gonna recruit this week so that's 18 to 20 gumbos and I can't imagine how awesome coach oh like he all already would be awesome in recruiting but recruiting often SEC championship and a number one seed that's electric yes it's incredible so you know how they say if you're president you're not supposed to tell anybody what your favorite food is because for the rest of your life that's all you'll ever be served when you show up to any sort of event or occasion we coach Joe he's made it known that his favorite food is gumbo right and he does not care that that's all he's gonna get fed that's like fuel for him yeah it's like gumbo and monster energy drink he's probably gonna run in between each recruits like hey we're gonna

just like hey actually coach is 20 miles like I don't care I'm gonna get my gumbo appetite back up that's right yeah let it go I think he's I think he's even making some in-house stops for recruiting while he was in Atlanta yes no he was yeah no that's that is the sick part of college football is that these guys we've made the jokes before about saving only getting to celebrate for like 10 minutes but it's the truth they win a game and when's the best time to go convince a recruit it's right after winning a big game also I'm pretty sure that that's what a celebration looks like for coach oh is just to sit with a football player and eat gumbo and take a picture with the with the Louisiana L yeah that's what he'd be doing anyways and tweeting hold

that tiger huh that is the best celebration you so are we ready to to take credit for Joe Burrow at LSU sure because remember there when we were we were in Baton Rouge when we interviewed coach oh for the very first time he told us afterwards he got he had a picture taken with us and they sent it to burrow his brother right right because he was like I hear that this guy that we're having on campus is a big fan of yours or his brother's a big fan of yours and so they sent it then he shows up on campus the next day coach oh tweets out hold that tiger hold that tiger I'm going to connect several dots and make several leaps of logic and say that we were instrumentaling and getting Joe Burrow just want to say it just want to say LSU fans if you were looking for the guy

behind the guy behind the guy behind the guy to say thank you it's us yeah and we will hopefully be at the national title game and you can say thank you with many many drinks because it's not a show night and I want to take a fan boat back from New Orleans up the Mississippi River to Baton Rouge after the game's over this is uh this is San Diego to LA rollerblading park do and hey I was I was game to do it you guys were the only ones that didn't want to get the blades going we would have died we would have died it's rollerblading like a hundred I don't even know how many miles if I gotta die just bury me on rollerblading off the I-10 we're going up the Pacific Coast highway you don't want to be off the I-10 going up the Pacific Coast highway right off the house no PCH yeah not during rush

hour no not at all that's why we're that's why we're on the boardwalk with our blades it's all you faster to get there on a Wednesday love you guys I'll be gone needless to say I'm off the sentence but I'll be going away slowly learning but life is okay stay up to me it's no better to be safe than sorry take on me me I'll be gone

me it's part of my take presented by bar stool sports
