It's Part of My Take, presented by Barstool Sports. Welcome to Part of My Take, presented by CoorsLight.com slash take. Go there right now.

Today is Monday, November 1st, week eight. What? What? What? What? We start in Western New York where Big Gaby Davis cried his way into the end zone to give the Bills a lead in the third quarter.

Tua Agro Cragrivovola was playing with guts. Two, two, two, two, two, you have it. Guts, Jalen, waddle baby, waddle baby, waddle baby. Waddle was trying to back it up, but the Bills gobbled baby, gobbled baby, gobbled baby, gobbled it up, and the Dolphins are loose again, and no one circles the wagon. It is like the Buffalo Bills.

Bills, 26, Dolphins, 11, I feel a little drunk-teach. What? Little of those do-do-dos, you know, Canada? Give you that nice pop. Yeah, that pop. And a spooky showdown in Cleveland. Oh, no, Beckham is going to have the monster rash for all the shit he's going to be taking.

Pat Air Fryermouth reheated the Pittsburgh offense after Chris Boswell in New Mexico crash landed and letting an unidentified flying object lose, only to disappear for the rest of the game. Caleb Presley-Horvin looked like he had won too many ice cream Sunday conversations to be kicking the ball effectively, and the Steelers are back on track with TJ, whoop,

and the Steel Curtain leading the way. The Steelers, 15, the Browns, 10. In Indianapolis, where Michael Myers, Pittman, and Jack O'Lantern Doyle carved the Titans' defense early, Derek O'Henry didn't earn his 100 grand, but was able to help the Titans late. Looks like his bout of food poisoning is over,

as A.J. is no longer brown with the sickness, and after a wild last minute of regulation, I ate too much candy bullock, sends the Titans home with a win, Titans 34. The Colts, 31. Whup, whup, whup! Mike Barry White had a meadowland singing, you're the one that I need,

well thrown for 400 yards for the first time since Vava Vava Vinny and the Jets, Joe Twixon and Jamar's bar chase, trick-or-treating for three touchdowns. Tyler Lara Croft dressed up as the Tomb Raider, and Rob the Bengals are thinking there for real with a late touchdown. You don't make friends with Sala,

but you can win a big game now and again, as the Jets beat the Cinnamon Sinati Bengals. 31, to more than 31. I forgot to write the score there, the, the, 34, 31. I just checked my stats sheet, Tige. 34, got 30, whup. Breaking news, the Jets win 34-31. Huh?

In the windy city where Jimmy Hoffa Garoppolo came back from the dead to lead the Irishman, Kyle Shanahan, to a huge win, Chris Tabor Metrix was coaching the Bears in the absence of Matt Nagy, who we hope takes as much time as he needs to recover from COVID. Your health comes first place. Yes, absolutely.

Khalil Herbert Hoover can't get the Bears out of the Great Depression, as Chicago fans turn to Roosevelt to get out of town. Elijah Mitchell-Tribisky was the MVP at Soldier Field on Sunday, and that hurts, Tige. It really, really hurts. Niners 33, Bears 22. And sticking in the NFC Norris,

where a Boston Harbor Scott had a TD party, crying Jordan Howard said the Inns justify the memes as he scored twice. The game was well out of hand when the Eagles poured it on as Darius scooped up a fumble and he could go. Oh, the sleigh with a scoop and score. What? Lions fans, if you're thinking about Jared Goff and yourself,

don't David blow your brains out just yet. Things can always get worse. The Eagles 44, the Lions six. Down in Houston, where Alexandra Cooper-Cup made the Texans call him daddy, dropping the voodoo clam on their face. Houston tried to give the Rams some Rex Burkhead, but they ended up glucking themselves to death

because man, do they suck. Lawsuit man Deshaun Watson is technically still on the team as the franchise waits in limbo for a trade. Rams 38, Texans 22. And we go out west to Los Angeles, where Justin Pervert was leaving too many balls exposed. Speaking of Perverts, Matthew Giudon Vito had his eyes looking in every direction on Sunday.

Adriana Phillips found the ball like Cosette found warmth under Christopher's ass, talking to the FBI and flipping the field twice. Jaggedy little Bill Belichick has one hand in his pocket and the other is wasting a timeout. The Patriots 27, the San Diego Super Chargers 24. Standing on a corner, James Winston down in Ola, such a sad sight to see.

It's the goat my lord and his knee feels sore, dancing with an injury. But Simeon's well, take some hills and incel. Can we get James Winston's knee? Some fricking stem cells. The Saints go marching in a huge win. And that week eight fastest two minutes, brought to you by our friends at Cross Country Mortgage.

Why? Never again. We try to be nice sometimes, Big Cap, because it feels like we do go out of our way to bash Kirk Cousins, which, hand up, I'm extremely guilty of. And it turns out it's for good reason. We were right to bash Kirk Cousins. I just, and it's more credit to the Cowboys

because with Dak Prescott out, we saw what it looked like last year. It wasn't this this year. Cooper Rush was more than capable of like keeping that offense going. I just, and a lot of people are saying it's Mike Zimmer. And, you know, I get the usual clap back, which I'm sure you get as well, PFT,

where it's like, well, you would take Kirk Cousins on the Bears. It's like, well, first of all, no, I don't want him on the Bears. But also it's not a rule that just because the Bears don't have quarterbacks, I can't criticize other quarterbacks. Kirk Cousins, he just loves to check the ball down.

And I know people are gonna say, it's Mike Zimmer, it's this, it's that. I just don't get it. I don't get it. I watched him. It's so frustrating. Who are they? One for 13 on, one for 13 on third down tonight.

That has to be on the quarterback at some point. It's pretty bad. It's pretty bad when you're at one for 13 levels. And I have had him on my team. And trust me, this is why I'm telling you, you don't want him on your team. I dealt with it for a while. I don't want him back,

especially not when he's making so much money. Like they can't, you're actually spending so much money on Kirk Cousins that it is making the rest of your team actively worse. And Mike Zimmer has had problems and the Cowboys, sorry, the Vikings should have won that game. Like they should have found a way to win that game. And so it's not all on Kirk Cousins.

I'm just frustrated with Kirk Cousins because when I'm watching them and they have 40 seconds left to no time out and he's checking it down and checking it down. It's like, dude, what the fuck is going on? That's the best way to put it. He's not a bad quarterback, but he is one of the most frustrating quarterbacks

because he shows you how good he can be at times. Correct. And then he just reverts back to being completely Kirk Cousins. We should give the Cowboys credit. I think what tonight proved is that the Cowboys are good enough to overcome an injury to anyone on the team, except for maybe killing more.

They're really fucking good. Yeah. They're really good. And like that was a, that's a game that like you bring in your backup. He's a ginger. Just gonna say it, we all were thinking it. You're thinking like, who is this guy, Cooper Rush?

I know him from Maxion Fire Up Chips. And they were the better team. They were the better team. And I do think Mike Zimmer is lost a little bit of his shine and people are very frustrated with him. And I understand why, because it does feel like the Vikings like, between Dalvin Cook, Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen,

like you look at the Vikings team, you're like that, they should be good. They should score more than 16 points. Yeah. I do like Cooper Rush though. Turns out that I think just the name Cooper Rush, it implies good backup quarterback. That's a perfect backup quarterback name.

It's like this guy is good enough to throw three touchdowns one time a year, and then bad enough to throw for four interceptions in another game. Cooper Rush is a great backup quarterback name. Another fun stat about him is the Cooper Rush to Mari Cooper touchdown, the first in NFL history where the passers' first name

and receivers' last name are an exact match. Which is, that's weird because I would have thought there would have been- It's the name of Gommie. The name of Gommie. Let's go, you get your Gommie earlier, I'm sorry about that. But I would have thought that there would have been a Michael,

like maybe Christine Michael, could have had a touchdown pass from somebody named Michael. I don't know, there's nobody with the last name Matt, so that takes out like three quarters of the quarterbacks in the NFL. Yeah. But yeah, weird stat. I do, there's a weird stat.

You know what? Kirk Cousins is eight and 17 in prime time games for his career. That's weird. That's a very weird stat. I can't believe I've been on the Vikings. Fucking stupid. I have a prediction.

I think tomorrow we're gonna find out that this was a watermelon game. That's the only thing I can think of how we got this so wrong. Yeah. I mean, we just got it wrong because we watched the Cowboys Without Dack last year and it was a disaster and Cooper Rush is good.

Like he was more than competent tonight. They moved the ball well. I don't know. Bad, bad times. We're falling apart. Also the Braves lost. That sucked. I was thinking the Braves are gonna win the World Series tonight.

We're gonna celebrate that. So Tuesday night, let's go Braves. Congratulations to the Braves for winning the World Series on Tuesday night. You're just first reported by Part of My Take. There we go. Let's go Braves. This will be so tragic.

You have to do the intro. Let's just do the intro for Tuesday now. Just okay, save it. Don't put this on Monday's show. Put this on Wednesday's show. Welcome to Part of My Take presented by Corselight. Today is Wednesday, November 3rd and the Atlanta Braves are World Series Champions.

Let's go Braves. Chomp, chomp. Love it. Love it. Congratulations to the City of Atlanta. It's been a long wait for you guys. I'm rooting for them. I can think of no franchise more deserving.

I want the Braves to win too. They deserve this Braves. You're a fun team. Oh, they got it. Anyone but the Astros. They want it. Yeah, enjoy it. Enjoy it.

Have fun. And plus, you didn't want to win that on Sunday night anyways. Like you don't want to take a Monday off from work. The celebration was crazy. Everyone's talking about football, not talking about the Braves. We're on Tuesday. We're on Tuesday.

We talk about on Wednesday, you get a full calendar day of celebrating your victory. You're World Champions. We leave the show with it. Absolutely off the top of the show. And then you can get drunk on Tuesday night and take a Wednesday off work, which is way cooler than taking a Monday off.

And then guess what? The calendar lines up. This is what you're listening to this on Wednesday. You have to go off. You have to go off. Congrats. Hank also released a statement saying, you have been given permission from part of my take

to take the day off work on Wednesday to celebrate your Atlanta Braves World Series championship. And then guess what? The calendar lines up, where now you get to have the World Series parade on a weekend. Yeah. So everyone can go.

Let's go Atlanta. They're going to do it. They'll be fine. Okay. Let's get to the rest of Sunday's slate. We're going to start with Steelers Browns. Steelers 15, Browns 10. I feel very bad for Browns fans. I'm going to start with that

because the two teams, as we thought this season, the Browns were trending up, the Steelers were trending down, and then Ben Rottzberger comes in your backyard and maybe not a throwback performance because he wasn't like lighting the world on fire, but he did just enough,

including the slowest two-point conversion that never counted, which I loved. They actually called it QB draw for Ben Rottzberger. But if you're a Browns fan, this is the year that you were support, like you did it last year in the playoffs. And this is the year you're supposed to be able

to beat the Steelers and not have to worry about the Steelers and you're on to bigger things. And oh yeah, they come here and then they kick your ass and they shut down your run game and their defense wins the day and the Steelers go and win a big game in Cleveland.

Yeah, it was tough. It's tough if you're a Cleveland Browns fan right now because you definitely thought like four weeks ago, you saw this game and you're like, we're going to win this game on Halloween. I'm going to get dressed up in my favorite Cleveland costume. I'm going to go to first energy

and we're going to get drunk as fuck and stomp the Steelers by 40 points. We're going to drink out of a pumpkin in the Muni lot. We're going to smash some shit. We're going to have an awesome time. Baker Mayfield's going to be great. The running game is going to be great. And then none of that happened.

You got pre-drunk when you saw this Steelers game on the schedule, once they started stinking like shit and you got, you started pre-gaming back at the beginning of October in preparation for this game. And the Steelers, I don't actually think that the Steelers really look good today at all. Well, their defense looks good.

Their defense is good. TJ Watt is a main difference, maybe like when TJ Watt is healthy and he's playing, the defense is very good. But offensively, they didn't look great. They had that. They did just enough. They did enough to win.

You know, you don't want to apologize for victory in the national football league, Big Gat. They basically, the Steelers, from a Steelers perspective, you're actually, even though it wasn't pretty, I don't think they're built to win pretty games at this point. But Najee Harris looks awesome.

Their offensive lines starting to look better. And Big Ben, you're like, okay, he is what we have. I think you're happy just the fact that Big Ben carried out that quarterback draw. Yes. Because in your mind, you're probably like, well, Big Ben doesn't want to run the ball up the middle.

He doesn't want to play action, much less keep the ball for himself. So Big Ben definitely, he conserves his energy. He'll put it that way. He's very mindful. He knows that he's only got a set amount of battery left in his human body that he can expend. So he's taking every chance that he can

to just kind of, he takes it easy back there sometimes. But the fact he was willing to do the slowest quarterback sneak, quarterback draw, like the old man in Squid Game doing red light green light. It was incredible. That's what he looked like diving forward. And he made it, which was great. But it was a hold.

But it was so, so much fun to watch. It was nice to watch. And I mean, the all time head scratching moment was Mike Tomlin's field goal, the fake field goal. Maybe weirder, the fact that he set it up by running the ball in third and 17. And then he was going to fake a field goal. And Chris Boswell almost died.

Chris Boswell got lit up. I thought we're protecting quarterbacks in this league. I don't know. It looked like helmet to helmet contact with me. But this is one where you're like, maybe it's not a good idea that the Steelers treat their coaches so well and give them, make them know that their job security

is second only to Supreme Court justices because a normal coach who, who actually a normal coach would never call that play because they're like, this is the kind of play that could get me fired if we lose this guy. So it was an incredible call because it was like, it was one of those, it's never a good thing when a fake gets called and your instant reaction is,

was the snap bad? Because there's no way that was actually the call there. But no, it was the call there. Chris Boswell got lit up. He actually posted on Instagram that he decided to go to as a quarterback for Halloween and he's okay. But it also then created like a hilarious set of circumstances for them where Presley Harvin,

their punter who is six feet tall, 255 pounds. And there's no way he's 255 pounds. He's like 270 pounds. His face when he realized that he was gonna have to kick. That was such a relatable like, oh, I shouldn't have had the donuts this morning. I should have done a few more pushups in my hotel room. I should have maybe,

I should have maybe not gotten late night Taco Bell on Thursday night. Like he was like, uh-oh, this is me now. And his kickoff, I don't, I still don't understand how a punter who has an incredible leg, who can do such a like a unique, has a unique skill set, then kicks the ball off. He kicked it like 30 yards straight out of bounds.

It was bad. It was very bad. And they didn't try a field goal the rest of the game for an extra point. Cause they're like, this guy, he's, he can't do this. Yeah, we're just not gonna kick at all. And he, yeah, you're right. Like a punter, it is his different skill set.

You're not always gonna be great at kicking a ball, but you should still be able to kick a football more than 30 yards off of a tee. That's a pretty easy thing to do. And when he was warming up, I was, I was sitting next to Jeff D. Lowe in the corner watching this game. And it looked like when he was,

he was doing practice kicks on the net that they have on the sideline. It looked like he was just gonna whiff on some of them, like very, very uncomfortable. So from that point forward, the Steelers were just like, okay, we don't have a kicker right now. Let's just act like, you know, every single time on fourth down,

we're not even gonna try a field goal. Right. And it was- It led to chaos at the end. It's always so funny when that happens. It's not only that, but then you get the backup holder in the game. And I don't know who the backup holder

on that Steelers team is. Everything falls apart. And you just sit there and you're like, what is going on right now? Also, the fact that you have a punter that's never kicked in college or high school, like they said he never did, how are you a punter and you never even kicked a field goal?

It's like playing Frisbee golf as opposed to playing golf growing up. You probably- You mean football? One, yeah, sorry. I mean club golf. Club golf and golf. Ball golf and golf.

Growing up, if you play ball golf growing up, doesn't mean that you're a good golf thrower. Right. But it does mean that you should know where a fairway is. Right, right. But it still is, like that guy, I felt so bad for him because he is large, he's larger. He's a, I actually kind of appreciate

when football players are like, when the special teams units, whether it be a punter or a kicker and we'll get to Fat Randy, they're like, you know, I'm a football player. I'm gonna look like a football player. Yeah, I like that. I'm gonna put on masks like a football player.

I like that too. I would much rather have a Fat punter than a Jack punter. Right. I don't trust Jack punters at all. Don't trust them. And we saw another one on the other side, the Scottish Hammer who still has a job because his nickname is the Scottish Hammer.

And he's got an accent and people like him and he posts intimidating Instagram workout videos. You don't want your punter falling into that trap. You want your punter out of shape because the only thing that they do all day is they drop a ball and then they kick it. Right, right. You shouldn't be Jack.

If you're Jacked when you're a punter, it tells me that you spend a lot, way too much time doing things that aren't punting. Yes, agreed. So, but the Steelers like that, this was a huge, huge win for the Steelers. I don't know where the Browns go from here because they have a million injuries.

And like that, you know, every team, every fan base will say, well, our team's the most injured. I think the Browns might have the record for that this year. I think they might be able to claim they're the most injured team. But it just, it like, I was looking at their schedule. They have to play at the Bengals next. Then they play at the Patriots,

who all of a sudden are like all the way back. They get a game against the Lions, which should be a win. And then the weirdest schedule quirk ever, they play the Ravens, they have a bye week and then they play the Ravens again. I love that. It's bizarre. I like that.

These two teams really don't like each other city. I think that the Ravens might actually challenge the Browns for the most injured team. That's true. But they're getting healthy. But that was also preseason, so it doesn't count as much. They got injured at the right time. Right, exactly.

They got injured in August, which makes it a little bit easier. I have a question about Baker Mayfield. And maybe it's showing my ignorance about the Browns captain situation, because I know last year they didn't have team captains. Like maybe they said before the game, okay, you're going out, you're calling the coin flip

out at midfield. But why isn't Baker Mayfield a captain of the team? Should we ding them for that? That's a good question. You know what? I'm in a mood to ding people today. Wait, who are their captains? I don't know if they have captains.

They do it like game by game? Yeah, I don't think that anyone gets to wear the C on their chest. Now, I think personally that it is a ding on Baker that hasn't been named a full-time captain. Unless we're Baker guys. Of course. But yeah, I feel bad for Browns fans

because it does feel like this was, and I can relate to it because it feels very similar to like the Bears Packers feel of like, oh, we have a team this year that can beat them. And then you have the big bad Steelers come into your backyard and beat you and they don't even look good doing it. That's the worst part.

It's not like the Steelers won and like ran up the score and it's like, hey, we wouldn't have won this game a million different, you played a hundred times, we lose a hundred times. No, that was a winnable game that the Steelers just did enough. And it's almost like, I know it's very cliche to sound, but I feel like you can just say like,

oh, that was a Steelers organization win. They're just consistent. They just win those type of games where it's like, they're not that good. They have a lot of holes, but they find a way to win. That was a culture win for the city of Pittsburgh. My time in culture. Not just the football team, I would say all of Pittsburgh.

This win belongs to you guys. Agreed. Did you see some of the scenes out of the Munich lot, by the way? Unbelievable. I would imagine that this game, it's on Halloween, it's against your biggest rival. You think that you've got a great team.

The money spent on the tailgate scene for Cleveland is probably the most money per capita spent on any team this year so far in a loss. Yes. Like the most money wasted on this. There was one guy that had a giant, I don't know if it was Paper Michet. It looked like it was like a glass sculpture,

like a chelouli or whatever, like glass blown custom thing, where it was a Pittsburgh Steelers player with a helmet with a giant penis going into his mouth. And they were on two separate sticks so you could take the dick out and then put it back. The attention to detail was just phenomenal. The insult, the insult detail that some guy

was sitting in his garage all week being like, I'm gonna make this, we're gonna go drink out of this. All year. And we're gonna make fun of the Steelers on Halloween. This was something that when the schedule came out, he pre-ordered this for the Halloween game. And he's like, okay, this is gonna be perfect. Okay, I need actually two more veins in the penis,

if you could. It was good for Browns fans for show up, have a good time, but it's gonna be tough one to get over. Yeah, it's very, very tough to get over. I really like, I feel for Browns fans today because I don't, their schedule is not easy. And when you look at the standings and like what's going on in the AFC, the AFC,

like there are some teams that are starting to separate and especially in their own division where the AFC North, I actually, we haven't done this yet because everyone says the NFC West is the best division. Could it be the AFC North? Could it be? Yeah, yeah, right now I think that it has to be. Without Russ and the Niners, you know, are below 500,

the AFC North has four teams that are all, they're at least, there's no easy outs. You know what I mean? There's no team, there's no Jaguars or Jets or the Jets won today, but like, there's Lions, there's no team that you can be like, oh, this team will get a win from them. Yeah, they're all really good.

The Bengals, I would say that the Bengals are still probably the best team in that division. We could talk about them in a little bit. Yeah, I mean, that's tough to say today. But the convo you have to have is rank the quarterbacks in the AFC North. Because I think you love doing this. I love it, I love doing this.

I'm gonna go, and it changes literally every week. It's like, number one. Actually, your favorite thing to say, I picked this up today and I actually love that you do this and I want you to keep doing it. And I think you said it like four or five times, like Tom Brady gets that call. Yeah, he does, he does.

He said it so many times today. I was loving it every time. I said it when Boswell got hit. It plays every time. When he got the helmet to helmet, they're kicker. I was like, if that kicker was Tom Brady, they would have called that. Tom Brady gets that call, you just kept on saying,

and I was just like, yeah, you know what? You're right. I am right, because Tom Brady gets every call. Yeah, so, wait, yeah, ranking the quarterbacks. All right, this week, I'm gonna go Lamar number one. On a bye week, he's healthy, probably no diarrhea right now. Number two, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go Ben. I'm gonna go Ben, recency bias.

I like that. Then three, I'm going Joe Burrow. He still has the potential to get back to number one. And then, what? I mean, that's our guy, but yep, go ahead. And then Baker Mayfield, as of today. Where's Chris Boswell? Chris Boswell is, he's tied with Baker.

Neither one are captains. I remember all four teams can make the playoffs. Okay, are we doing, are we doing, ranking them right now, or are we doing starting a franchise? Oh, that's a different conversation. Okay, because I have two. No, now let's do starting a franchise. All right, Joe Burrow one.

Ooh, okay, I'm gonna take, yeah. Lamar two. I'll go Lamar one, Joe Burrow two. What, you don't like it, I think? I think Joe Burrow's gonna be a better passer. Lamar's got a better resume. He does, but I think Joe Burrow's gonna be a better passer. But remember, don't forget, big cat,

Lamar's younger than Joe Burrow. That's true, that's true. People forget that. And Lamar is an MVP. Yeah, he won the MVP. I know he's a very good quarterback. Lamar, Joe Burrow, Baker, Boswell, Rothless Berger. That's fair.

Oh, actually Justin Tucker gets that call too. Justin Tucker goes ahead of Big Ben and Boswell. Yeah, so, yeah, the NFC North. I don't know why, it's just everyone loves to, I think it's just a fan basis, because you have the guy who's old, who's won two Super Bowls, and then the other three kind of are rotating up and comers

that you can basically dunk on Ben with. I would say the NFC North is the most entertaining division to observe as an outsider. Yes. We have all the different rivalries that they have going back and forth and the different players and the up and coming Bengals. They're a fun team, or they're a fun division

to just like look at. Yes, absolutely. Good colors, good rivalries. Yeah, good history. All right, let's stay with the NFC North. NFC North, good call, NFC North. And Billy, your Jets, 34, 31. The Jets win the shocker of the day, I would say,

as 11 point underdogs. Mike White, is there a quarterback controversy in New York? Because Mike White, just let me throw out his stats. He did throw a couple of interceptions. They were tip balls, which is unfair because Zach Wilson, if he throws them in their tip, we're just like, oh yeah, that was a Zach Wilson, Mr. INT. Either way, Mike White, 37 for 45, 405 yards,

three touchdowns, first quarterback for the Jets to throw for 400 or more yards since Vinny Testaverde. Also first quarterback, other than Cam Newton, since 1950 to throw 400 yards in his first start in the NFL. Which is crazy to think that it's been 20 years in this NFL. Yes. And what they've done in the passing game has been 20 years since a team has thrown for 400 yards.

But Mike White, I don't think it's like a Wally Pip situation. It'd be fun to talk about and let's have the conversation. But I think that this will be known as the Mike White game. Well, here's all to say. Zach Wilson's obviously the future. Mike White is the present. The Jets wide receivers had an incredible game. They were making catches left and right for Mike White.

Does maybe he's got the ear in the room a little bit more? I don't know. Based on Zach Wilson's mom, you would think that they'd be catching everything from him. Yes, with the see-through masks. But Billy, go off. Mike White. We gave you a lot to think about.

Mike White, is he the future? He is the present. Zach Wilson is the future. What I think is going to happen is now that they have more tape on Mike White, I think he's not going to have as easy of a time to do what he did today. But I think today was a great example

of what the Jets could be consistently going forward. With Mike White? With a competent quarterback at the helm. Because the defense was amazing. And the offense was able to keep the defense on the field for a good amount of time, as opposed to being on the field for most of the time in the other games.

But Billy, if your quarterback goes out there, throws for 400 yards, tell me touchdowns? 400 yards, three touchdowns. Three touchdowns, 400 yards. And you win. How are you going to stop? How are you going to change horses? Oh, no.

We're not good. So everything's working right now. Zach Wilson's out for a while. I say, I think if Mike White played for the rest of the season start every game, that'd be huge. And it would give time for Zach Wilson to sort of learn and become a good quarterback. What we say is the Patrick Mahomes model.

Yeah, Patrick Mahomes. And then he turns into Patrick Mahomes. Because realistically, he should have never been starting the first game anyway. They were trying to sell jerseys. They were trying to get people interested in the team. It should be Mike White. Well, it should have been like a veteran quarterback.

Joe Flacco. Just ease him in. But and that's why we got those crazy games where Zach Wilson just got totally got exposed. I think it's funny, though, that the Jets kind of played to the level of their opponent, but in the reverse way. Like if they're playing a really good team at home, they can beat them.

Yeah. So until today, going into today, in fact, going into this afternoon, the Jets were the only AFC East team to be an opponent that had a winning record. Wow. Until the Patriots did it against the Chargers. And they beat two of them.

They're two now, yeah. So but Zach Wilson had a much more conservative play calling style when he was on their center. Today, they just opened it all up. They really, the play calling was much more aggressive. It seems that Mike White might be the guy. I think he's the present. And the future.

Hank's walking out. Hank hurt his back very badly. Actually, the way Hank put it was he got his back blown out. Yeah, he came in and said that. I don't know where he's going right now, but I'm nervous about him because he might not be able to get back in here. So Billy, so the Jets, that was an awesome win for the Jets.

It was awesome. Huge. It was also, it was, we could chalk this up to the old any given Sunday because it was a true letdown spot for the Bengals. We talked about it last week. The Bengals had their biggest win probably in franchise history in the last five years, maybe 10 years.

Like it's been a long probably probably since like Andy Dalton like 12 and four year. It was that big of a win against the Ravens. Then they go to the Meadowlands. Think they can kind of come out there and roll over them. Now the Bengals did get screwed. They got that unnecessary roughness call was bullshit. They got blown.

That was a Pac-Man Jones reputation call. That was bullshit. Because where do you aim if you're that quarterback? You can't aim any lower than his head was he got ducked into. And it really decided the end of the game because that was they had to stop at 3rd and 11 and they would have gotten the ball back. But with that said, if you're the Bengals and you want to be

considered a bona fide good team that's going into the playoffs and maybe competing for things, you shouldn't even be in that situation with the team against like the Jets, right? Yep. Like that's if you're a Bengals fan, I think you can complain for like two minutes and then you have to snap out of it and be like, no, we were in this fucking game with the Jets.

We should have killed them. We're way better than the Jets. Right. And perhaps we were a little bit too quick to anoint the Cincinnati Bengals. I would say so. Maybe we forgot that they're literally the Cincinnati Bengals.

I'll never apologize for knee jerk reactions. I'm sure we're doing it again this week. Listen. Somebody let us know. No, honestly. Listen to this show and let us know which team we're bangles in this week because I'm sure that we'll very quickly anoint some.

It's probably going to be the Patriots. Yeah, no, and that's, you know, people like you overreact. Listen, if you want a measured take where everyone's like, hey, everyone's kind of good and some teams are kind of really good and some teams are kind of bad, like that's we're never going to do that. I'm going to tell you teams stink. I'm going to tell you teams are awesome.

The Bengals stink. The Jets are awesome. And let's based on this day. Let's also clap it up for the Jets. They scored a touchdown the first quarter. Uh, not only do they score a touchdown Jets, Mike White went seven for seven on his first drive in the first quarter. He went 14 for 14.

If you count the two interceptions that he threw, it's okay. That counts. The ball didn't touch the ground. Those are our stats in New York special. They were the two point conversion play. The New York special. That's what you're calling it.

You just call it the Billy special. Yeah, that's good. It's mine. Yeah, it is. Billy Billy Billy. Get Mike White in prime time that on Thursday night at Indiana. Oh, I'm going to bet against Mike White in the Jets after Jets

Colts Thursday night. All right. All the haters out there that said that the NFL was dead. Suck my dick. We get Mike White in prime time. We're coming for you. Fuck you. Yes.

You know who's the real loser in all this? Who? Joe Flacco. Yes. Although does he really want to play? Does the check clear? Because I think he's doing okay. It's actually amazing that Joe Flacco is staying around as a

backup quarterback. He must have another kid on the way that we don't know about because he's made so much money. I think he's made what, like $150 million? So much money. Why is he a backup? If it were me, I would just, I would buy a house and a shitload of animals and just go out there and

wistfully off into the sunset. I'll tell you what it is. He misses the guys in the locker room. Yeah. He likes to be around. You got to be around the guys in the locker room. I actually think if you could, if you can hang on, I never understand why quarterbacks retire,

why they don't just be like, I'll be a backup for the next 10 years. Because it would be awesome. Just be a professional athlete. I think being a backup quarterback is the best job there is. It would be so much fun. I can hold the fuck out of a clipboard. And then you got to worry every now and then that you might come

in and, but, but Mike White made himself some money today. As long as Mike White should, we've talked about this many times on this podcast. If Mike White was smart, he would go out on Thursday night. He'd get injured on the first play. And then he's Mike White. Oh my God. What's Mike White?

Could Mike White be the guy forever? It needs to be an injury where it's not, it's not involving his throwing arm or his knee. Right. So go out there and, and I don't know, say that you got the Baker Mayfield. Yes. Your off shoulders dislocated.

Yes. And then you go in the off season for cleanup and then boom, six months later, you're getting paid, I don't know, 20 million guaranteed somewhere. Done. He's a free agent after this year. I could see him like starting for the rest of the games. Zach Wilson stays on.

They trade him in the off season where he gets Zach Wilson. He trade a free agent? I mean, not trade him, but like he signed somewhere else. Just gets the back. Awesome. That'd be next level. And then Zach Wilson. That's Bella Chex though.

Just be like, we're going to trade you dude. How you doing Hank? Hank just came back in. Hank's a warrior. Hank is a warrior. I've had his, I've had back pain like Hank before. I got my back blown out twice. Um, and yeah, it's not fun.

Oh, speaking of your back blown out, you see Kim Kardashian's dating Pete Davidson. Yeah, that's, that's going to be a very healthy relationship. He's the ultimate rebound guy. That's going to be a healthy, healthy relationship. If you want to piss off whoever you just got done being married to, just have a picture taken in public of you with Pete Davidson. Yes.

Yes. But Hank got his back blown out and probably not. By myself. By himself. I blew my back out. He blew his back out, picking up his or putting on his sweatpants. It's also like never a good thing that like your, I guess this is just our relationship,

but I think I was your first phone call. Where you're the back kid. You're like, what do I do? Well, I'm not a doctor, but I'll tell you. To be fair, you want to know, you want to have great back advice. Yeah, I do. I've been through, I've been through it a lot. Big Cat fixed my back.

Yeah. Big Cat has it through back problems. You were my first call. I did call my mom first and she said, Call Big Cat. Hey, that would have been funny. She was like, Hey, is everything all right? Like as an emergency, I was like,

No, I just like hurt my back really bad. She's like, Well, I'm at dinner. Can I call you tomorrow? I was like, All right, yep. All right. She did call me this morning, but she was clearly like, I wouldn't about it. So then I was like, All right.

Well, I'm lying on the floor. Like, can I, am I going to be able to get up? You texted me and I FaceTime you. So I was like, Let's get this fixed. I also feel like we just kind of glossed over the fact that he hurt his back putting on sweatpants. So you kind of moved on from that pretty quickly, Big Cat. I know what you did.

Sweatpants are the easiest pant to put on. I would say, Teraways, number one, sweatpants to jeans three, quarter Royce four. They were one leg was slightly inside out. So, you know, when you put on sweatpants, you kind of sometimes do the jump around, like jump on one leg while you're,

while you're pulling it up. In fact, I did that. I did one jump. And then the second jump, I just, I blew my back out. Yeah. Yeah. Then I was, then I was, I was worried. My neighbors were going to like call the cops.

I was like screaming on the ground. And then it's like one of those things where I'm like, I'm by myself. Like what am I supposed to do here? Like I'm just like screaming in pain. You're wiggling your way to paralyze. I didn't know if I was going to be able to move again. The last two times I've blown my back out.

I was just trying to stand up and then jumped down. Yes. Like I fell. It was bad. It was a scene. The last, the last two times I blew my back out. I, one was, I was laying in a Chicago alley in like the middle of winter,

just screaming for help because I couldn't move. And the other time I was laying on my, my living room floor saying, just shoot me, just kill me. It's that bad. It is. When you fuck yourself up like that, it's very, very bad.

And now what kind of mattress do you sleep on? Is it soft or is it firm? It's a mattress firm. No, it's an advertiser. Yeah. Okay. It actually is. It's a firm mattress firm.

Yeah. Okay. Good. Brand new. Don't use the soft stuff. Soft stuff will fuck you up. Soft stuff will fuck you up. You actually should be sleeping on just like a, a board.

Just sleep in your bathtub. Like, yeah. Just like a wood, a wood plank. Sleep on the floor. Start sleeping on the floor. That's the way to do it. Yeah. I mean, I've had a lot of time for perspective on the couch the past few days.

Yeah. Just, you know, thinking about golf, thinking about being able to be here and just hang out and not have to lie down. Yeah. It really does. It makes you appreciate what you got. Yeah. You don't know what you got till it's gone.

I'm going to beat this, guys. Yeah, you are. I'm going to beat this. I know you will. Back strong. If you don't, is it, can we, Dr. Kvorkian, is that, was that? What was the final like finding on that? Yeah.

Are you allowed to kill someone? I'm of the mindset that if Hank asked me to kill him, I will do it. I'm just that good of a friend. Yeah. I appreciate that. I wouldn't let him get in the way of me murdering Hank if that's what he truly wanted.

If I'm not able to golf by spring, just. I'd kill you. Yep. Done. We do it on the podcast for the numbers. Yeah, for sure. A live execution in the podcast. It would be like the eyeball stream.

If we can hold our YouTube subscriptions at $600, we will kill him. Yeah, we kill this motherfucker. All right. Well, we feel bad, Hank. So the Jets, congrats, Billy. Great win. Shocker of the day.

By far the shocker of the day. Big one for Robert Salah. Robert Salah was pumped at the end of the game. Yes, he was. I also like the vibe that like the New York football teams are doing now where they just suck, but then they just win two or three games out of nowhere. Like the Jets beating the Titans and the Bengals.

That's so stupid. The fucking Giants beat the Saints. Well, it's Benzone. If you're a Bengals fan, only good teams lose to the Jets. Yes. Yes. That's true. That's true.

All right. Next up, let's talk Titans Colts. Crazy game. Carson Wentz. God damn it. Right when I got back in it, right when I was like, you know what, this Carson Wentz guy, maybe he is turning it out, turning it around.

I was getting gas lit by Colts fans. People tweeting about how he only has one interception. He had two of the worst interceptions to end the one minute left in regulation, backed up on his goal line. Left handed pass where it was the like eternal cars. NFT that for Carson Wentz because it was the ultimate Carson Wentz. Like I can get myself out of any situation play.

Yeah, it kind of was. But recently I've noticed Carson Wentz, he just, he looks desperate when he plays sometimes. Yes. He looks, he actually looks like he's going to be killed if he doesn't complete a pass. Correct. In certain circumstances.

And what he ended up doing was he desperate it himself into taking maybe the smartest interception. This was the spin zone Colts fans were saying. Because if he had taken the safety, they would have to kick off. They would have to give the ball back to the Titans game over. But since he threw a pick six, it was the best pick six in NFL

history because they got the ball back and had a chance to go down the field. He did it on purpose. It was a genius move by Carson Wentz. So people were actually saying that now I do blame Frank Reichen. He actually took some blame for it in the post game. There was a terrible play call.

Shouldn't have put him in that situation. But my God, dude, sometimes like I don't know what it is about him, but he just has this fearlessness where he's like, I can get myself out of any situation. Well, I've noticed about Carson Wentz that when he may, he looks very athletic when he's running around sometimes. He looks like an athlete where if he makes a great play, it looks sick as shit.

And that's why we we've all so easily back into the. Oh my God, I think Carson Wentz is good trap. I think I don't think we've ever been at the same station at the same time. Correct. I think right when you get off it, I get on right when I get off it, you get back on. But he looks really good when he makes an awesome play.

So you're saying you're back on. The problem is when he makes a bad play like that one, it's like staring into Satan's butthole. Yes. And you're like, I've never seen anything this ugly before in my life. It's terrible. So I think I'm officially out again 100% on Carson Wentz.

So then I have to be back in. Are you back in though? Well, I mean, we can't be the same. Well, no, you know, I'm thinking about it because we just talked about the Jets. The Jets were playing the Colts on Thursday night. The way the Jets can win that game and then come back like Hungry Dog runs faster.

I'm going to be back at Carson Wentz and I'm going to hate myself. I think I just choked up saying that. Yeah. I like I literally I can't physically take this guy anymore. But here I am. It's your body revolting against your brain.

I would love to maybe in the off season, we could just do a live cam of Carson Wentz in an escape room and just watch him be like, I got this or like maybe like we'll give him, we'll simulate. Interview him, but it's an interrogation. Yeah. Like bomb detonation like training. Watch Carson Wentz be like, I got this.

He just blows himself up every time. I don't know if he's like always confident, but I think he's just more always like very nervous that this is about to be his last play out. Yes. He and his mind, he always thinks he's one play away from getting benched for the rest of his career and he's got something to prove.

Right. And then you see Sam Elger looking over his shoulder. Yeah. And he's like, oh, this guy's good. And then the interception actually, if you want to if you want to take the route of, all right, that interception was actually a good thing because it was a pick six and they got back in the game.

They were able to come back with a minute left. That's fine. The interception and overtime was really, really bad. And Michael Pittman is like a true bona fide number one. He's been awesome. Like, I don't know. It just, that was such a bad interception. I don't know how you can like explain that one away.

He was like tripped. There was triple coverage. It was just blame it on the turf. If you're Carson Wentz, the turf and Indy looks like it has alopecia. It's all patchy. It's terrible. That might be a side effect from the sun coming in.

I know Mr. Erse opened up the roof this weekend, which was the right play for Jim. But the turf looked just patchy and weird. Looks like it had some sort of weird skin disease. Yes. So that's Carson Wentz. The Carson Wentz and also credit to the Colts because they figured out the, they've now fully adopted

the Joe Flacco offense of like three times a game. They're just going to throw it deep. Carson Wentz going to under throw his receiver. His receiver is going to try to come back to the ball. Boom. Pass interference. That's how they actually got it to overtime with the pass interference, the end zone.

It's a genius strategy and it works every time. And I feel like the Colts are, I think, borderline doing it on purpose now. Yeah. They might be. It's a good call to me. Yes. Really, if you have a receiver that's

on the same page as your quarterback and you know that he's going to under throw it, the defensive back, they have their back turn to the ball. They're going to at least get in your way coming back to the ball. So why not try it more often? I think that we need to, we need to ding Frank Reich. Can we put that on the, we're dingin' him today?

Yep. From going away from Jonathan Taylor in the second half. Yes. Because Jonathan Taylor is a beast. I don't know if you know this, but he went to the university of from, from, from Wisconsin. If you want a beast in the NFL, draft a Wisconsin running back or an Iowa tight end, and you'll be good.

But they just stopped giving the ball in the second half. And they said, this is Carson Wins' game to win. I don't do it. I don't know why you do that. And here's the thing. So we'll get to the titans in a second, but the Colts, like this is a really, really demoralizing loss if you're a Colts fan, because you finally got healthy.

You had some guys getting back. You were the healthiest you've been all year. You are up 14, nothing against the Titans who have already beaten you this season up 14, nothing. Everything's rolling your way and you somehow lose that game. So now you are not only like behind them by what two, three games in the, in the standings. You also lost both games to them.

So it's a brutal, brutal loss for the Colts. The Titans, I, I feel like the Titans now, like they have enough defense to do something and AJ Brown is incredible. And like Derek Henry wasn't even, Derek Henry got kind of low key bottled up today. AJ Brown was insane. AJ Brown is so fucking good. And the Titans are just, I, I've always like last year I was

very much like, Hey, the Titans defenses is not sustainable. Now I think the Titans might actually be a legitimate AFC contender. They've gone through a little bit of a gauntlet here and they've come out the other end. So if you're the Titans and you knew going into this game, the Tannhill was going to throw two interceptions and that Derek Henry was going to run for 68 yards.

You probably would have penciled this one in as a loss. Right. Good news is Ryan Tannhill threw through for three touchdowns. AJ Brown had 155 yards on 10 receptions. So you ended up, you ended up making it up in unexpected places. But, um, and likewise with the Colts, they, what they did was they were like, we're not going to let Derek Henry beat us. And mission accomplished, Derek Henry didn't beat you.

AJ Brown. AJ Brown beat you. Yeah. I'm looking at it right now. So the Titans have Sunday Night Football against the Rams next week. If they win that game, they're officially on contender watch. I also think that we need to make some amends and do some

public apologizing to Fat Randy. Yes. Because Fat Randy nailed it. Maybe, maybe to our credit actually, maybe he should be apologizing to us. Yeah. Because ever since that, that game losing kick that he had when he was a bangle where he pretended, oh, sorry.

No, he had two calf cramps, both his legs cramped up right after the fact when he hit the root. He's been lights out when it comes to clutch kicks. And he had another awesome one today. Fat Randy on Halloween. He's been chopping down candy bars all day. Blood sugar to the roof. Blood type is Nugget.

He is just absolutely feeling himself. He was looking very, very big. He was, but he went out there. He fucking nailed it. Yeah. Right down the middle. Yeah. He's, um, I love Fat Randy.

I do too. I was going to say something meaner, but I'm not going to say it. What are you going to say? Well, I was going to say like he does have like the skin of a guy who eats too much. He looked, he did not look well. Because I have that skin.

I know what that skin looks like when I, when you're like, you just got that little, that little puff, the puff in your face where you're like, oh geez. All the blood ran out of his face by the end of the game. Because I think it was all digesting. It's like, it's sodium. It's, it's sodium poisoning. I have had it many times in my life where it's like, oh geez,

like, hey, maybe just do like one salad and a couple and a glass of water. Yeah. I mean, if that Randy's belly could just be a giant kidney stone too. From all the salt that he's got. So he's a brother in arms. He's a brother.

By the way, I passed a kidney stone yesterday. Oh hell yes. I just keep doing it. I'm good for about. Hell yes. I'm good for about one every month. That's great. Piss all these suckers out.

Yeah. Um, Carson Wentz, by the way, last thing he said, I beat us in overtime loss to the Titans. He also was wearing a jean jacket in his post game. That would piss me off. If I were a Colts fan, I'd be like, dude, come on. The jean jacket. The jean jacket would be like, I beat us.

Yeah. I don't know. Put on a costume. It might have been a costume. It might have been. Yeah. It might have been going as Aaron Rodgers for last year. Yes.

Shout out, Billy, for nailing Aaron Rodgers. John Wick. Yeah. Good job, Billy. You crushed that, Billy. Clap up for Billy. Always just thought I looked like Aaron Rodgers. Thank you.

Yeah. This is acceptance speech. Um, I'd like to thank Keanu Reeves. Okay. For looking like Aaron Rodgers. Nice. Okay. Nice.

Good. And vice versa. Yeah. Yeah. I think I've changed my mind on Aaron Rodgers, by the way. I think I, I think I like him now. I do. I think, I think that what he was saying after the game, he was like,

he basically admitted that he microdosed and that he goes on like hallucinogenic trips because he goes, I did some stuff this off season. Quickest way to your heart. He said, I did some stuff this off season that changed my perspective and I'm seeing the world. Can you just wait, can you just wait, can you just wait till he's off the Packers? Then I'll join you because I'm going to flip that on the Packers fans. If he ends up like on the Steelers, the Broncos, I'm going to be the biggest Steelers or Broncos fan.

He changed my perspective on his perspective. Oh, he's the worst. Maybe I'm just still high from Benny the Butcher. All right. Let's go 40. Oh, last note on Titans Colts. If you get an interception and then you get injured, the fumble shouldn't count. That happened to Taekwondo on Lewis today.

It was so unfortunate. He intercepted the ball. He tore his ACL. I think he tore his ACL. I don't know. And in the injury like fell down and dropped the ball. Well, the worst part was he hurt his knee and I saw some people say that it was the patellar tendon, which is what Victor Cruz had.

Like that's the really bad one that nobody ever tears unless it's like a car accident. He tore it, fell on the ground, the ball comes out. So he fumbles it. He's grabbing his knee. And meanwhile, six players from each team just jump on him trying to get the ball out as he's like trying to reach and grab his knee. He's underneath the pile just getting smoked. I felt so bad for him.

Yes, I did too. All right. Next up 49ers Bears. I'm going to, here's what I'm going to do. I promised myself before the season that I would not be upset about losses if Justin Fields looked like he was progressing. And guess what? Justin Fields looked like he was progressing in this game.

Turns out that Justin Fields is a really good quarterback when he can use his legs. So yeah, maybe just don't keep him in the pocket all the time. Matt Nagy is on the COVID list. So we hope he gets better. Hope he gets better. Takes his time. He did not have his stink all over this game. There were fire fire Nagy chance at Soldier Field.

Um, and yeah, turns out play action slants, quick slants, letting him move the pocket, letting him run the ball. He had like a hundred yards rushing. He had that incredible run, the 22 yard touchdown run where he ran 59 yards in those 22 yards to score that touchdown. Yeah, maybe that's why you drafted this guy because he's an electric athlete and you should let him make plays both with his arms and his feet. So the Bears defense is officially done.

Like they're not, Khalil Mack was out, but it's over. We're burying the era of Bears defense from like 2015 to 2018. Yeah, it's like, no, it's like 2017 to there's been different Bears defenses. This one's like 2017 to about last year and maybe a little bit of this year and maybe they'll pop back up. But when you give up third and 19 tunnel screens to Debo Samuel for 80 yards, like they were just, they weren't tackling anyone. They weren't doing anything that was, was helping out the offense.

It's over and they made Jimmy G look electric. They made Jimmy G revive his career because he was clearly on the hot seat. So I'm just focused on Justin Fields progressing. He's obviously still a very big work in progress. I'm not going to sit here and tell you he's incredible. He looked better than he has the last few weeks. And that makes me happy and wins and losses don't matter. But I also would like them to win games because I'm really sad about the fact they suck.

It's a very mature outlook on your part. Yes, it is. You're taking, you're taking the macro over the micro something that your boss Alex Rodriguez taught you is important when it comes to sports. Exactly. So I have a hypothetical here. If the Bears just, let's say they changed the passcode on their front gate. Matt Nagy couldn't get in, but his paycheck keeps going to him.

Do you think Matt Nagy would just be like, okay, I'll just stay at home and not say anything? No. Because I don't think that he enjoys coaching football. I think he does because he does those stupid quotes like after we get fucking smoked by the box and he's like, this team really loves each other. I don't know. Shit like that. I don't know all the time.

But even his quotes are kind of half-assed. Yeah, but he's like, you can tell he doesn't even want to be googling inspirational quotes. He's a sentimental bitch. He's going off the first page of the Pinterest image results that he gets. So yeah, I hope he gets better. Big winner in this game. But also take your time. Besides Justin Fields, who looked like a good quarterback today, especially with his legs,

Kyle Shanahan, big winner today. Because Kyle has gotten a very, very long leash. And I'm still in the mindset that if he was, if he got fired tomorrow, there would probably be like six teams that would make a call on day one. Absolutely. Including like, I would love for him to come back to the Washington football team and team back up again with Sean McFay and Matt LaFleur and all, and Zach Taylor and all the other good coaches that we had at one point.

But it felt like it was wearing a little bit thin with Kyle Shanahan. Because the results haven't been there for the 49ers. And I feel like we were one game away from talking about his job. We haven't talked about his job yet. If they had lost this one, we would have been talking about his job. Yes. Now that they win this one, I feel like we're now three losses away from talking about Kyle Shanahan's job. Yes.

And Jimmy G was very good. So he saves his job for at least a little bit. It helps that he played against the Bears defense has no teeth left. They didn't punt today. The Niners didn't punt. Never a good sign for defense, but a good sign for Jimmy G. Also, Debo Samuel is electric and Debo Samuel is most likely, if he doesn't, if he stays healthy, going to break Jerry Rice's 49er single season record.

Wow. Yeah. Like he, so he has a calf now. Yeah. He has a calf now. He has 819 receiving yards. Now, obviously it's a 10 game season or 10 more games on their season because it's 17 game season, but he would just have to average 75 yards a game in the final 10 games to break Jerry

Rice's record for the 49ers, which is crazy. So the whole, this team didn't punt stat can be pretty misleading. Yeah. I've realized that this year because when I was growing up, if a team didn't punt, you're like, wow, they beat the shit out of them. Their offense was probably really good. The Washington football team only punted once today and they scored 10 points. Yeah.

So it's not always. No, it's not always, but in this case it was. And it's, I mean, these games, good teams don't screw up like the end of half, start of half situations. They don't. And the Bears screw that up all the time. They, they, they should have scored a touchdown going into the half. They didn't.

They got a field goal. Then they led up a big pass to Devo Samuel. So they got a field goal and then they scored a field goal to start the half. So it was like, they should have, they should have been able to put them away and they didn't. And that's what happens to teams that are not good and the Bears aren't good, but Justin Fields. Okay. One thing about Jimmy Garoppolo, I don't like how he slides. He gets a lot of, he gets a lot of late hits against him when he slides,

but it's almost like he's inviting the contact with his slides. I don't want to, I don't want to say that it's because of what he's wearing or how he's acting or a victim's shame, but there's something about him when he slides. He looks so photogenic. He's like smiling and looking for the camera as he goes down. If you're a linebacker, you just want to hit him. Yes. I agree with you.

Again, not his fault. Not his fault. I'm not blaming him. Not his fault. All right. Next game, Panthers Falcons, Panthers 19, Falcons 13. If Matt Ryan didn't get stepped on and have his hand gush blood everywhere, would we have remembered this game?

No, I don't remember a single thing about this game, except for the fact that Sam Darnold got hit in his head, probably from the gravitational pull of it, and he was taken out of the game. And PJ Walker is a guy that always just manages to find himself in football games. Yes. He never starts them, but I feel like the last two years, every Sunday, we've had at least one PJ Walker drive. Yes.

Yes. It's true. And the Matt Ryan getting his hand smashed was like that was like, oh, shit, that game's going on because it did. There weren't, there wasn't a lot of offense. It didn't go to red zone very often. The Falcons, Calvin Ridley, which we saw afterwards, he's taking a step away from football.

They miss Calvin Ridley. They did a good job shutting down Cal pits. Oh, yes. Stefan Gilmore turns out he's still good. He had a late pick to like seal the game. But yeah, this was, both these teams are kind of the same team. And it's just like the Panthers are a little bit better. They deserve each other.

Yeah. They deserve. Yeah. Matt Ruhl also launched a flag. And when I mean launched, he like wound up. You seen that video of the girl, I think it was at a Knicks game, who's got a t-shirt and she just guns it into the stands and goes into the upper deck. That's hot.

Yeah. That, well, bonk. That's what it looked like. That's what it looked like. That's my favorite. Whenever I post a video of like, you know, check out this chick, she can throw a football. How hot is this?

Well, Billy definitely looks at that and is just imagining offspring. That's all that means to him. Oh my God. This chick can throw a football. Throw it. Throw a spiral directly into my face. That's so fucking hot. But yeah, Matt Ruhl launched a flag.

I think it landed on Mars. It was pretty cool. Sometimes when you're a little guy like Matt Ruhl, you just got to remind people that you still got it. Yeah, you got a little pet. Yeah, exactly. You got some shit to you. Yeah.

Don't come at me. I'm Matt Ruhl. I'll spit on myself in my smock. Okay. Eagles, Lions, yikes. Big yikes. So I think that the sign that the Lions were doomed was when everyone decided this was the game that the Lions were going to win. I woke up this morning, I looked and I think it was 75% of the people were betting on the Lions.

I think we as a country should stop trying to predict when the Lions are going to get their first win because at this point it might not happen. Yeah. Yeah, it just seemed like the time was right. I'm guilty of it as much as anybody because I did bet on the Lions today. I thought this was going to be their week. I thought I saw it as a matchup between Dan Campbell and Nick Siriani. And I didn't know that Dan Campbell had it in him to out Nick Siriani. Yes.

Nick Siriani. Yes. Trying to act like he was being aggressive for it and ended up making one of the dumbest play calls that I've seen in the NFL in a long time as far as coaching mistakes go at the end of the second quarter where it was it was um it was a situation they should have kicked the fuel goal. Yeah. 14 seconds left. 14 seconds left. Fourteen seconds left.

Fourth and one. Fourth and one. Fourth and one. And he said I'm going to go for it. I'm going to be aggressive. And he was going to try to be aggressive and go for it. To get one extra play. Yeah.

And then what would that extra play have been? A fuel goal. Yes. And he said now to his credit this is actually him being more Nick Siriani than Nick Siriani. After the game he set an all time record for saying it starts with me. Yes. He never said it ends with me too so he's not reached that state yet. But he said that everything out there starts with me all the coaching decisions.

The mood going into this week or teams attitude. It starts with me. So Dan Campbell officially he's number one on the coach looking into the mere power rankings. Yes. But I did like how he referred to the game today. He called it a sea of crap. Yeah. He he he was uh his so my question to you and to the world is Dan Campbell does a really good job

of owning the blame. He said that was bad. That's what he said. He said that was bad. I didn't set the tone. I didn't have my team prepared. At some point just owning the blame like you just suck. Right.

And I like Dan Campbell. So I'm not going to be there yet. But like I think we give we've given him a lot of credit for owning how bad the Lions are. But also if you keep saying like my bad my bad we should start listening and being like yeah you're bad. Well I think in today's society we're most used to seeing people who suck pretend that they're great. Correct.

And so when you see somebody who's sucking be like hey I suck. It kind of it scrambles your brain for a second. You're like I like his honesty. Yeah right. But the outcome is. What a guy. Yeah I like how this guy sucks. Yes.

And I would rather have a guy be honest about it than have a guy who's you know deflecting blame elsewhere coming up with excuses. But at some point if you're like listen I don't have any excuses I'm not good at my job. Right. Then I'm going to be like wait it sounds like this guy might not be very good at his job. Yeah he's kind of telling us. Yeah he tells us after every game that it's like hey it starts with me we weren't prepared we weren't ready.

It's like okay. Yeah so we should start listening and being like yeah they're not prepared they're not ready. I'm willing to go ahead and make my own excuses for Dan Campbell and I'm just going to chalk up that field goal no field goal at the end of the first half as just being a little bit of the inner meathead poking through. Yes. Where he just wants to be aggressive all the time and he doesn't stop to think about wait what's the point in being aggressive if on the very next play I have to kick a field goal.

Right. It's just the inner meathead that's all that was. It was tough. So but that doesn't really excuse the rest of the game and I don't know. Unfortunately now I'm just personally worried because I think the only game that the Lions probably could win is Thanksgiving Day against the Bears but I don't it's it's bad like this team is very bad. I know they're supposed to be bad but I don't think that makes it better for Lions fans

like Lions fans you can tell yourself you're bad but when you're potentially going to go winless again in the span of what 10 years like that's I don't know what to say. The only thing I have to say for Lions fans like some of your Michigan State fans that's huge. Shout out World of Isaac. Yeah. The rest of your Michigan fans that's a bad weekend but yeah it's it's very very bad in Detroit and I feel really bad for Detroit and they're just they're just not a good foot like Dan Campbell said they're just not they're bad.

That was bad. I think you have to give Dan Campbell a full another offseason to restock the roster before we can accurately evaluate how bad he is because I think today even if he had a roster that was as talented as the Eagles they still lose that game by 25 points. Yeah and we but you never know like we we should give him some time to to work into his job a little bit maybe I'm just making excuses. You know what he's tricked me into it. I want to be good.

Yeah it's just he keeps telling us that he's not good and we're not listening. I'm not I'm definitely not listening. I can tell from the last five minutes of the things that I have said and then the things that I have thought that I am definitely not listening to Dan Campbell when he tells me that it's on him. Yes. Yes we're gonna say Hank. Well Calvin Johnson's you know they're they're a shining star.

His receiving record's gonna get broken by Cooper Cup. Same quarterback Matthew Stafford. So yes that probably makes it worse too. Is Calvin Johnson a system receiver? Summer. Summer. Yeah maybe just makes everyone electric. Yeah it's bad.

It's bad. Eagles on the other hand I like this is the old you know are the Eagles back. No they played the Lions but you still get credit for winning and winning convincingly and I don't want to say they found something but Jalen Hurts only throwing 14 times like and and using his legs. It's like they ran the ball very very well. Their defensive line woke up. I don't know.

I you should never apologize for wins. So Eagles fans like I think most Eagles fans like yeah those Lions they stink but still a win is a win in a convincing win of it's it's rare to have you know 44 to 6 or whatever the final score was in the NFL. Yeah this is a win that definitely stings or a loss that stings if you're the Lions because they gave up 236 yards on the ground. They limited Jalen Hurts to 103 yards passes. It was 9 for 14.

9 for 14 103 yards passing but he had a 93.8 QBR which is that's just so made up. It's just bad. It's just bad. Very bad day. The the camo that the coaches were wearing Nick Siriani has a wardrobe now that it's well you know what it's October 31st. It's Halloween today. Correct.

It's not even salute to service month yet. Correct. It's not it's not no not November yet Nick and they were both rocking like the shit out of that camo. He was just trying to beat us to it. I think they were trying to be first adopters. Yes yes that's absolutely what happened but I don't really have anything else to say besides that was bad which is a quote from Dan Campbell.

Sorry it's not. He's not telling us. He's telling us not a sea of crap. It was a sea of trash. I agree with Dan Campbell. Okay. Let's see say something nice about again the Eagles. I don't know the Eagles are kind of what they are.

They're scrappy ish. You know the Eagles fans probably wanted to lose that game too. No no you don't want to lose the Lions are now at the point where if you lose them it's embarrassing because they're they're 0 and 8. Like you can't be the first team. That's why I'm dreading Thanksgiving Day. Like that's going to be terrible. I'll say one nice thing about the Lions.

By week came at the right time. So they don't have a game next week. Get a reset. I don't I don't know if you can say that the Eagles fans wish that they had lost this game. No they won't. I don't. We know a lot of the Eagles fans. They're draft order.

Or they also the Dolphins pick. Which is number three right now. Yeah that's right. Yeah the Dolphins pick. They have the Colts pick and their own which are all top 15 right. Yeah maybe the only way I can think that the Eagles would wish they had lost the game is the Eagles fans that hate Nick Siriani. And I think also Eagles fans probably are doing you know they're straddling the fence

right now of like hey if we could win a couple games here maybe we'll be competitive in December. They're still trying to figure out if they draft a quarterback in the first round next year. Yes. So I think they will with three picks. You kind of have to. Yeah. Okay. Next game.

Bill's Dolphins. Weird game. Three three at half felt like the Dolphins defense finally showed up to the 2021 season. And then the Bills were able to like just steamroll him the second half. Josh Allen smashing all the buttons making plays. He had two plays in a row I think where he hit every single button at the end. Like he tries to do a lateral as as he's already down on the ground. Yes.

And the Dolphins I mean their defense did play well for half to a I don't know wasn't his best game. Let's wait till the all 22 comes out. Wait till the all 22 comes out with Tua. That was a real defense he was playing this week. He wasn't looking that great. It is weird though how the Dolphins only care about division games. Yeah. They play that division so tough all the time with the exception of the first game that they

had against the Bills this year. Yes. But usually if they're playing against the Bills the Jets or the Patriots the Dolphins they look like a completely different team than if they play a good team from the West Coast. It's also Dolphin Dolphins candy ass season because now that the weather is starting to turn and you see those those jerseys in Western New York and you're like oh they're never going to win this game. It doesn't work.

It's like it's so easy. They're like tourists walking down the street. Yeah. Like this will pick up around here. Yeah. And the Bills unbelievable like cover that they weren't covering all game. They find a way to cover. Yeah too.

I'm going to be nice to him but he wasn't good. Yeah. He wasn't good and and Deshaun Watson could still get traded to the Dolphins. Again can somebody make a cut up of Tua's throws and just like completely gaslight us and show us why Tua was great on every even the bad throws. Why were they actually good in hindsight. But you're right. I feel like it's an inevitability at this point that Deshaun Watson is going to be he's

probably going to be making the rounds on the court order door to door introductions in Palm Beach County. Probably going to move into Epstein's old mansion. OK. I mean it's vacant. No they destroyed it. Oh they did. They bulldozed it.

Good. Yes. Tua also had a ridiculous that fumble which I don't know if that was on him or the center or wherever. We looked up at one point and the ball was just everywhere. It was a Benny Hill skin. I don't think that wasn't on to you. I think a second was in motion.

They hit him or something. Yeah. So they tried to do the thing where they sent a receiver in motion before the snap and I'm actually amazed that it doesn't happen more often especially on the plays where they're going direct to the quarterback who just puts it right out in front and does a jet sweep to the guy that's scooting by. I don't know how those types of fumbles don't happen. They have to time it perfectly on the snap.

This one was not time perfectly. Yes. I think just snapped into Yosiki's butt. So I'm being nice to Tua. Wasn't that nice to Tua Jake. Very nice. I mean he was bad but I'm being nice to him. And I will wait for the Tua believers to tag me in every tweet this week and let me know

how he wasn't bad. Remember 94.9% chance he's traded by twos. That's true in the Florida. That's true. And then you know what. All right. The shot wants. You know who the first game is for the Dolphins.

Who. Be against the Texans. Oh wow. Instant revenge. Instant revenge. Also OJ Simpson was at this game. Good. Yeah.

Glad to see he's still out there. That's my who's back. Oh yeah. He was he did a little video reminiscing about the old stadium. OJ is all about the content. Do you think there were there people who probably were like yeah what's up OJ. Oh I guarantee if OJ Simpson walks past you there are people that go up to take like ironic pictures with him that then posted online and nobody can tell the difference

between irony and actually endorsing a serial killer. Also I mean Twitter and a show where people like it's because the jokes are kind of funny. I think people like it when OJ like does these videos because they can make jokes. Yeah. But it's like it's still OJ. Yeah yeah it's still OJ. Right. Yeah.

I'm just glad to see that he's you know out there roaming. Yeah. And he's still free. He's just doing the thing. Whatever that thing is. All right Rams Texans. I don't even know what to say about this game. The Texans are like disgusting.

Fuck the Rams. I mean the Texans did blow or the Rams did blow the cover out of nowhere. They're up 38 nothing going in the fourth quarter. Disgusting. Crazy. Crazy crazy blown cover. The yeah I mean the Texans won the fourth quarter 22 to nothing disgusting. I do think that we're covering an onside kick if you're the Texans here like you wasted it.

I don't know what you think this was covering. I think I think onside kick. No no no I'm I'm I think onside kicks like I actually think of onside kicks is like you have a certain set amount as a franchise. Oh like eggs like a woman has an X amount of eggs. They don't need one in five years and they're like no remember that Rams game. Yeah I don't know the fourth quarter. I think the Texans had 73 yards of offense total going into the fourth quarter

and then Davis Mills put the team on his neck and he was like I'm going to be a garbage time all star and garbage time all stars. It's like Kirk Cousins. That's one that comes to mind. Yep. Jalen Hurts. Jalen Hurts. Carson Palmer had a couple nice seasons doing that.

Yep. And then Davis Mills is working his way into the conversation of a guy that gets yards and touchdowns in absolute garbage time. The Texans are at the point where like I wrote down this game happened. I don't really know they're not it's actually it's crazy at this point in like we usually have one or two bad teams. It feels like we have a few really bad teams. I love it when the bad teams play each other though.

Yeah because watch out because coming up next the Texans they get the dolphins the Jags the Jets and the Colts. Oh wow. So we're going to at least they get to play each other. Yes. So we can completely ignore those games if we want to. I think the Colts have actually graduated out of like being truly or sorry not not the Colts the Jets have graduated out of being truly bad.

It's the Jaguars the Texans and the Lions right now where it's like watching those games are painful painful like those three teams they were down two touchdowns in the blink of an eye. Like you turned on the game and they were down. Yeah I have a hypothetical for you. Okay. Would you take a million dollars to play on the Houston Texans for the rest of the year. No.

With okay that's easy. Yeah even let me get the stipulations out. Okay go ahead. How about this Hank you can feel free to chime in. He's got to be I can't walk right now. I'm just saying but listen these are part of the stipulations part of the stipulations. Would you play on the Houston Texans at running back. No.

You get you get 17 carries a game. Nope. No. You're guaranteed not to get injured though. You still feel the impact of the hits and you wake up with bruises. No. But you're not injured. What does that mean.

No. You get three million dollars for the rest of the year. Absolutely. I just gave you a raise. The market's thin. You realize it was the worst hypothetical offer. The market's thinned out. Would you Billy would you take.

Absolutely. I mean Billy you know you. Five hundred thousand dollars. You have to live in Houston. You'd have to be in that locker room every day. You'd have to deal with like the sadness of being a terrible terrible football team. You have to get your ass kicked. Yeah and you have to do whatever.

Tells you to. No. No. Say that's a good point. You have. Davis Mills is your leader. You do it. Of course.

Fucked up every single Sunday. You have to. Seventeen carries. You get hurt. This whole injury stipulation is not real either. You'll get injured. I mean if I'm not actually going to game ending injury. No you're going to get a life ending injury.

You get bruises. You don't break any bones. Maybe some ribs. You break one rib. Hair line. And your nose. Hair line rib. Yeah.

And your nose. And maybe your spine gets. Five percent chance your neck is snapped. Your spine gets dinged. Yeah. Gets nicked. You get a nicked neck. Five percent chance you get your neck is snapped.

Fifty percent chance you get knocked out cold. Party I'm in. Yeah. Okay. I hurt myself putting on sweatpants like. There you go. Why even you know. It could be anything.

You get to do anything. Dude it just sucks so bad to be look so slow and everyone be like what the fuck. If you if you told me if you told me I get to keep my jersey. And I frame it for me bust one bust one out. Yeah. You break one. True yards. It's a numbers game.

If you get the ball enough you're bound to break one. Good blocking scheme. Yeah. Cooper cup is incredible. He's already so he almost has already like hit his career high in yards and touchdowns. And we're eight games in. He has his career highs eleven hundred yards and ten touchdowns. He's at eight hundred yards nine touchdowns.

You think he's going to he's going to just continue to go off. I they can't stop him. Like Stafford and Cooper cup have a clear connection and they no one has stopped them yet. I'm just a big believer of of weather impacting football later on in the year. Hold on. But I mean they play in. I know how he's shaking his head. I mean they play in a dome.

But but you can still get lightning in there. Yeah that's true. They could get lightning in there. Arizona plays in a dome. San Francisco and Seattle OK. He has he had a game. I'm looking right now. So the closest Arizona Arizona beat the Rams pretty good and he only had 64 catch 64 yards

for no touchdowns. That was the closest anyone has come to like shutting him down. Every other game he's had 90 or more. And most games he has a touchdown or two. So they get the Titans on Sunday night football next week. That's going to be a hell of a game. That's going to be a perfect game. That'll be a game of like are the Rams going to be candy ass.

Are they going to be real football team. Yeah. Yeah. All right. You got a quick word from our friends at Black Rifle Coffee and then we'll do the last four games and we'll get to football guy the week. I love Black Rifle Coffee Company. They're a veteran owned coffee company serving premium coffee to people who love America.

Their veteran CEO and founder Evan Hafer Evan Hafer spent over seven years on the ground overseas with US Special Forces and as a CIA contractor Evan even modified his gun trucks during the invasion of Iraq to grind coffee anywhere. We love coffee. I know Big Cat loves drinking coffee in the morning. I drink about two cups a day. That's probably pales in comparison to what Dan and Dan Campbell drink. But I still love coffee and if I'm drinking coffee I'm drinking Black Rifle Coffee.

I've got a couple of their tall boys in my fridge right now. They're Mocha tall boys. Have you guys had those. I think that they have the best caffeine. I don't know if I can prove that but their caffeine it hits a little bit different. It's what I drink every morning to wake myself up and they import their high quality coffee beans from all over the world. They roast five days a week at their facilities in Manchester, Tennessee and Salt Lake City,

Utah. The team at Black Rifle Coffee is continually researching and experimenting with new roasting methods and coffee origins. When you think about it coffee is just another form of bean soup and you know how I feel about soup.

A very impressive win for the Patriots. Very impressive win. I started in the pregame show on Thursday. This was kind of shape how I look at this team going forward for the rest of the year. And I'm all aboard the playoff train now. Mack Jones was airing it out. They kind of opened up the offense a little bit. It wasn't just Dinkin and Duncan.

His numbers weren't as good. He wasn't as accurate. But that's like that's a one step backward for a couple steps forward to that situation. This year has been a story of how much does Bill Belichick trust Mack Jones. And last week he really trusted him. This week if we're talking like give him the keys to the offense. It's like you give your your teenage son who's driving the keys and you're like okay you can now go out with your friends on weekends.

But be back by midnight with the car. Which is vastly different from where we were four or five weeks ago. I think the Patriots can be summed up at this point. They're like a throwback Patriots team in that they're not great at anything. They're very they're very good at everything. Like they're just fun to sound. I like how that sounded. You know what I mean.

Because like you know what I like. You don't watch the Patriots. There's not one offensive player you're like that guy's a game changer. Like you know he's he's a difference maker upper echelon guy. Matthew Jude on on defense. Yes. But like defense kind of the same. They play good special teams like they do everything very good.

And then you get a performance like this against the Chargers where it's the first time the Patriots have won against a good team this year. Because there are three wins were against the Jets and the Texans. And I think we also kind of saw this coming. They're like turning a corner where they're going to they're actually going to be a team that's going to be contending for something. You know at least making the playoffs in the AFC. Yeah it's going to be a December to remember those two games against the

Bills are going to be very exciting. Mm hmm. Matthew Jude on by the way. The Red Sleeves. A monster. I started hating the Red Sleeves when I was watching earlier this season. But it's so smart. It's a genius move to wear those Red Sleeves.

I guarantee he gets more holding calls against them than he would if you were wearing standard sleeves because they those things pop all the time. They stand out. If they're being pinned down you know a ref can see it clear as day. Now I love the Red Sleeves plus if you're good wearing Red Sleeves you look awesome. Yeah. If you're bad wearing Red Sleeves you look like a chump. I think if the playoffs started today they wouldn't be in but they're right there.

Like there's what I'm pulling up the playoff picks right now. Someone tweeted I mean they'd be the seventh seed but that's you know. I'm looking at right now there's the Chargers are four and three. It's all because of the bi-week and stuff like the Chargers are four and three. They're not four and four but yeah the Patriots I still don't really know what they were doing at the end of the first half. I don't know what they were doing on goal line when they were throwing the ball and it's like you guys run the ball very well or at least have it

times this year I should say. And in that game. Yeah there's been times you haven't. Yeah and the Chargers biggest weakness is their rush defense. It made no sense but yeah that was a that was a game that they just they they like kind of they fucked Justin Herbert up two times now. Just played him last year and they fucked him up. Justin Herbert also had some really bad throws.

Yeah some very some very unjust and Herbert like throws. Yeah so I my question is now were we maybe a little ahead of ourselves with the Chargers. I don't know. I still like him. I still like him a lot. I think that I think Hank's right. I think that the Patriots might be okay. I think they might be realish.

Okay but also I'm a big hat. It's Chiefs the Chiefs. Yes so here's what I was looking at. The Chiefs have kind of fucked everyone. Yes because the Chargers wins were the Washington football team bad team. Chiefs may be a bad team. I mean they're not good right now. And they definitely weren't good then.

Raiders a good win. With Gruden not Basickia. And then Browns which I mean that game was crazy a million different ways. Remember it was 47-42 game but the Browns like all those wins at the time were like oh my god the Chargers big big wins. I don't I'm looking back and I'm like wait are were they big wins or were the teams they were playing not that good and then they got they lost the Cowboys which they lost the Ravens. That game was a very close game for them either way.

But they lost the Ravens they lost the Cowboys they lost the Patriots and those might be like the Cowboys are an upper echelon team the Ravens are an upper echelon team. So I'm not saying the Chargers are bad. What I'm saying is we put the Chargers in the contender category in the AFC. I don't know if that was right. I think that the offense today was just trying to they were locked in on Kenan Allen. They're like I don't give a fuck what's going to happen. We're going to throw up the ball to Kenan Allen every single time.

And it didn't always work out for them but they didn't get off it. They didn't mix it up enough. And I'm looking at I just typed on AFC playoff picture. I'm on Yahoo. You remember that website Yahoo. It's been a while since I've been there. They got the Chargers as a seven seed. Patriots are on the bubble as number eight.

So they're outside looking in followed by the Browns and then the rest of the teams including the Kansas City Chiefs. But no I think the Chargers are still good. I think they're a very very good team. They're well coached. I don't know if I wouldn't put two varies on it. They're very good. They're very good.

Very and then half very. Rabbit rabbit. It's midnight. Yeah. Those are my first words of the month. Okay. You know that the old rabbit rabbit thing. First month.

What is that from. You say rabbit rabbit. I need all the good luck I can get dude. What's rabbit rabbit. I fucking it's like an old Nickelodeon thing. What is it. I don't know. We're a boys.

We're done nutting rabbit foot. Rabbit rabbit is a superstition found in Britain in North America where a person says or repeats the word rabbit rabbit. I think it's the rabbit rabbit. It's the first of the month. Yeah. Wake up wake up. Wake up.

Rabbit rabbit. It's the first of the month. You're just saying the first day of the month. I don't usually do it but I really do need like I'm running bad. So I need to just I need everything. The first things that you say or first thing you say. So you're already my first thing I said was why did your alarm go off. Yeah.

November is ruined for you. God damn it. But I got it. So I'm about to get hot boys. Wake me up when November ends. I don't know. I just. The Chargers are very very good.

I'll say they're coming off of a bye week. They're good. And they had this performance. I like the Ravens performance. I still like the Chargers. And I think they're I was looking at their schedule. Here's where the Chargers are going to land in my mind. They're going to end up with a good record because their schedule softens a little bit.

I think that once they get to the playoffs and they have to play another really good team they're not going to be on that level. Like they they they're next three games of the Viking Steelers and Broncos which should be win or sorry Eagles Vikings and Steelers should be all winnable. I they're going to end up with probably 10 11 maybe even 12 wins. Yeah I'm doing my math. Yes. I just don't think they're going to I think they're not.

I'm not taking them for real in the AFC. Here's what I'm going to talk it up to. The last rookie head coach to defeat Bill Belichick was Jim Caldwell in 2009. Bill Belichick is one of his last 11 versus rookie head coaches. Okay. So. Belichick versus. They got pumped by the Ravens.

Also that stat came from 2015 so I don't know if anything's changed in the last I also always just like I don't know off a bye week I just feel like you should always be have your shit in order. You should be. You know so speaking of which there's a perfect segue the Jaguars off a bye week. I totally forgot that the Jaguars had a bye last week. That's how much I didn't miss them. They had two 12 men on the field issues in back to back place.

Is that not the most insane thing I've ever heard. They got a 12 man on the field penalty and then they had to call a timeout because they had 12 men on the field the next play. Yeah. I've never seen that. That's how badly Urban Meyers players want to get away from him on the sidelines. Incredible. It's nuts especially off a bye not a good sign.

But it is in a weird way it's indicative of what you saw with Urban Meyers today. He doesn't have any friends there. There's nobody around him. Usually a head coach at least has one lackey. That's next to him. That's like hoping to suck off the strength of the coach. But he was fired before he started. He doesn't even have a yes man.

That's how bad things are for Urban Meyers. He he had this quote afterwards. I didn't see that coming. I really felt we had a decent week of practice. Now translation we're at that point so we you know you can you can really kind of figure out everything from a coach's post game press conference. We've made fun of Nick Siriani looking in the mirror. Dan Campbell telling us that he's bad.

Whenever you do the good week of practice it's it's kind of at the end. That's also deflecting. That's the opposite of Dan Campbell where you're like I did my job as a coach to get them prepared. Urban Meyers never taken blame for anything in his life. He's the king of like slipping those little numbers in there. I remember Mark Trustman's Bears were the best practice team of all time. It was like that was it like oh we're good at practice.

Anytime a coach is like you know it comes down to execution out there. I felt like we had a great week of practice. Great great great game plan. We're all schemed up. We just suck. Everyone got to the bus on time. No disciplinary issues this week. Yeah.

And then we went out there and stunk. That's that's your coach throwing your team under the bus. And I'll say something nice about Trevor Lawrence besides I'm not going to say he's a bus just yet but he's he's showing me bust like tendencies. I can't really judge anything in this system in the whole urban environment. James Robinson got hurt. Here's something nice about him. Here's something nice about Trevor Lawrence.

His receivers stunk today. They were dropping everything for him. He should have had a much much better stat line than he ended up with. So it's not all on Trevor Lawrence. But I am excited to say he's a bust when he does reveal himself as a bust. Fun stat. The Jags are 3 and 14 against the West Coast in their last 17 games. Oh damn.

Well that's actually very good for the Jaguars because I think they're like one and 17 in their last 18 regular games. So they actually improve when they go west. The 3 and 14 is an improvement. They should be better on the West Coast. I saw that. I had the exact same reaction as you did. I'm like wow can't bet on the Jaguars today.

They're playing on the West Coast. Turns out it's actually a good thing for them at 3 and 14. Yes. They also made Geno Smith look awesome. I did see this was I noted it beforehand that like Jaguars Seattle is one of those matchups that I just have no memories of like none. I just don't. I can't think of a big moment where the Jaguars and the Seahawks played.

And I looked it up in the last three times the Jaguars have gone to Seattle. So today they lost 24 nothing. Last time 2013 they lost 45 17 2009 they lost 41 0. So it doesn't go well. It doesn't go well. Yeah. Not at all. I'm looking at it.

It's bad. I'm looking up the distance here in between stadiums in Jacksonville and Seattle. Here's the Seattle chart. Jacksonville is it's got to be like a top two or top three farthest apart stadium. Yes. 3,052 miles. Yes. Apart.

I'm going to say that that's second farthest distance that an NFL team would have to travel. I feel strongly about that. I feel strongly as well. It's bad for the Jaguars. They made Geno Smith look good. Geno Smith had sick air on that quarterback sneak at the goal line. Yes he did. He got up in the air.

He also he also completed his first 14 passes. This is Geno Smith who we saw a week ago like not even be able to throw the ball when he needed to get that last drive. 14 passes. Geno Smith ended up 20 for 24. The Jaguars are so so bad. Yeah. Very bad.

I feel bad for Jaguars fans. Shotcon did say he's all in with Urban though. Which is again another sign that he's going to be fired very soon. Yeah. Did he take his yacht to Seattle? Did he go through the Panama Canal? I don't know. But like when your owner says you're all in that means you're just not.

Yeah. Like you're publicly all in. That means privately you're figuring out how can we get this guy out of here for the least amount of money out of my pocket. Why would you even say that you're all in on Urban? There's not a more obvious lie in the world to tell. And good news though. Good news for Urban Meyer.

It's not like half the country dressed as him fingering chicks buttholes for Halloween. Oh wait. That is exactly what happened. And you know what every every one that I saw every picture I saw of people dressed up on Halloween wearing the Ohio State thing at the bar. I laughed at every one of them. They were very funny. Always funny.

I saw this one kid who was like five feet tall blonde long hair and a girl who was like brunette and I was like that's still funny. You know it's nothing because I get the joke and it's a very funny joke. And it's it's hard to nail like perfectly nail the topical Halloween costume. Like I'm sure a lot of people went to Squid Game. I'm sure there was what's the other topical one that was. Island Boys. Yeah.

Island Boys. Like Ted Lasso. Urban was a topical one that made me laugh every time. It was really good. And it's also a genius Halloween costume if you're the guy. Yeah. Because that means that you have a girl that just comes and grinds on you all night. No babe it's part of the costume.

Yeah it's part of the costume. They won't say won't know who we are. Yes. Yeah I've always thought that if you do a topical costume you just have to be ready to fight whoever you see at the party who's the same costume. If you show up as Ted Lasso and there's another Ted Lasso it's a fight. Well there's very clearly a hierarchy. Of who's the most Ted Lasso person.

I once went to a Halloween party where there was two Al Borland's and it was fucking awesome. That's pretty cool. I tried to make them fight. What year was that? It was like 2004. Yeah that's incredible. That must be so rare to see these days. No one even knows who Al Borland is.

I actually think if there were two Ted Lasso's they would just hit it off instantly. This is awesome. Yeah you want to play some darts and have positive conversations. Yeah and make this show our therapist. Go ahead. Two stats are going to be deep in my head going into this next week. Geno Smith is 8-0 against the spread in his last eight games and the Cowboys are 7-0 against the spread this year.

Tail them. One's got to give. Uh huh. One's got to give. I'm just like one of those things where it's like and I've been betting against the Cowboys and losing. Betting against Geno Smith losing. That's why we bet against Cooper Rush.

I think now I'm not going to but now it's like you bet against Geno Smith because Geno Smith sucks but he's yeah 8-0 against spread. They covered who they played last week in the rain game. The Seahawks. It was a Thursday night game. 49. No. Why is my this is bad.

Brain is melting. Saints. Monday night. Monday night they covered. Yeah that's right. Yep. Yeah you're right. Damn.

What were you going to take? I think we just have to predict who's going to start a quarterback. Yeah guess whose line is it anyway. There's no way this is up. There's no way they're playing each other is there. I thought you just said. No I'm just saying those are just two. I'm not saying they're playing.

The way you said that. Two stats that I'm going to be in my head this week. No the way you said that was playing each other. No I didn't mean that. I just meant the way there was two. We all were like oh which one do you choose. No no no. That's a great thing to have in my mind.

I thought that you were saying like one's got to give. Yeah this is going to be incredible this match up like who the fuck will which one are you going to pick. No I meant more like I'm going to probably hop on both trends. Okay me too. And lose. All right so who do the Seahawks play next week. That's my bad.

That's so funny I hope they play the Seahawks. Seahawks are home. Cowboys play the Broncos. Packers Seahawks. No. Actually the wait. We need to sort this out. No Cowboys host Denver.

Yes. Seahawks are on a buy. Seahawks are on a buy. Okay. All right good. So we can't. So it doesn't even apply to next week. It is a good stat though Hank.

Thank you for bringing it off. Do the Cowboys and Seahawks play this year. No they do not. Okay maybe next year. Maybe both trends will continue till next year. I think they both win the division. Well I guess Seattle not really but then they would be guaranteed right. Damn okay.

Probably be a push if they did play. The Tony Romo game. Sorry about that. That's okay. We were pumped. It was going to be an incredible matchup. All right. It's fun to think about.

Washington football team Broncos. It is. It is very fun to think about. PFT. Just trying to give you some fun stats. Washington football team. Listen we're brothers in arms in terrible quarterbacks but I did feel especially sad.

I bet on the Washington football team today. You turned to me before the game. You're like I think this is one of those days that Tarahanaki is going to make me excited. I think I used the words go off. I think I said that Tarahanaki was going to go off today. And this was it was the most Tarahanaki game because he played serviceably at times

until he got close to the goal line. Now granted his interceptions weren't. I'm not going to count those as real interceptions. Okay. Because one was the Hail Mary at the end of the game. But Jesus Christ we're bad and I was just thinking to myself while I was watching the end of that game. I don't have to do this to myself.

No. I don't have to watch and be invested in the Washington football team who shouldn't even be called a football team. We're not the Washington football team. We're the Washington sports. We're Washington recreational activities. We're the Washington we get our asses kicked regularly.

It was a depressing loss because at the end of the game between us and Vic Fangio it was like watching two six-year-olds play blackjack against each other. And no one knew the rules. And everyone kept fucking everything up giving us hope that we were inevitably going to squander away. And I reached the point with Chase Young where I'm the football team's defense is better when he's not on the field.

I'll just say it. I'll say it. You know you had the fumble to maybe keep them back in it. Yes. Even though they had that at the end that was part of the legendary fumble incomplete pass when you're running the clock out. Fumble again drive that the Broncos put together.

Broncos really wanted to lose that game. But Chase Young I don't know. I don't want to say that. I want to retract what I said. I'll put it this way. He's on thin ice with me. The Washington football team is on my last straw. Chase Young on thin ice.

He's on thin ice with me right now. He doesn't seem like he's rushing the quarterback at all. He stands straight up a lot. They take him out of the game for half the drives in the first half. I don't get it. I don't know what's going on. Montez sweat is better than Chase Young is.

Chase Young every time I see him play he reminds me of Brian Rackpo when he was a first round pick. And I went through this phase. Subway commercials. Yeah. Great voice. Deep voice. Yep.

I went through this phase of the Rackpo where I was like he just doesn't get the calls. He gets held every single play. And at some point that just becomes a guy that can't get to the quarterback. Yep. Chase Young just he doesn't even get close enough to the offensive lineman to get held.

He just holds him out at arm's length. It looks like he's playing the run every time he tries to pass rush. That's frustrating on defense. But it's bad. It's bad. It was a painful game to watch. And the only thing I kept thinking about

while I was watching this whole time was why do I do this to myself. I don't have to. No. Like it's not in my blood to I don't wake up and I have to watch the Washington football team and root for them like I have to eat or sleep.

But I do it. I do it to myself. I don't know why. And it sucks. And I'm not happy. No they're bad. And I just would rather just ignore them. But I can't.

And Chris blew it. I mean that guy he sucks. It's honestly impressive. He kicks it right into the line every time. 60 percent of his field goal attempts have been blocked. Oh my god. And this is what I was worried about. Not only when you signed a guy named Chris blew it.

He has to be the best player to ever play the position or else you're just inviting an onslaught of shit being like oh your kicker's name is blew it. Yeah it is. That was our decision. We consciously decided we would like to have a kicker named Bluett who can't kick the ball over 10 feet in the air off the line of scrimmage.

But then it was just the reason why we signed him was because we wanted to cut Dustin Hopkins who immediately gets signed right off the street. They're like okay we think this guy's good because we wanted to show that we were holding the team accountable for stuff. Yes. And so we cut a guy that's not bad.

He's not good but he's not bad. For a worse guy. For a worse guy whose last name is literally Bluett. Yeah it's bad. It's bad. Yeah they're just a bad team. And it's crazy because last year like it felt like they were building something.

I guess when is Ryan Fitzpatrick coming back. Because I do think that some of these games like today was a winnable game. Ryan Fitzpatrick probably wins this game. I think so. That's the beauty of Ryan Fitzpatrick. I actually would argue that if Ryan Fitzpatrick was quarterbacking for the Washington football team

they might have like two more wins. They could. Because Taylor Heinecke just he finds new ways to like blow games and just be awesome between the 20 yard lines and then just fall apart. So I saw a post game quote from Rivera. It said that this team is still trying to find itself. Not a great thing for your head coach to say about you

that you have no identity but it's true. They don't have an identity. Their identity is Ryan Fitzpatrick is injured at this point. Yeah. Their identity is our defense was good last year. Yeah. And it's weak eight. And I saw the most pathetic fan response to that quote ever.

Bear in mind we're talking about the Broncos Washington football team game which was 17 to 10 which we've already spent too much time talking about on this show. One of the responses was the NFL is so scripted. Like Roger Goodell set this plan in motion to make sure that the Broncos could beat the football team 17 to 10 in a game that precisely nobody watched. Yep.

And that's the level of cope that we're at right now. It's like rigged. Yeah. Refs are rigged. Refs are rigged against Washington. You know what I might just join in that. This league is rigged against Washington football team because it's impossible for any team to be as consistently bad

and just numbing just numbing to your soul. Right. As they've been for the last 25 years. I got some bad extra bad news for you. I think they might be very power rankings are coming out on Tuesday. We still have money to play football. But I think they're officially the worst two in team.

Good. Even though they've beaten the Giants head to head. I think the Giants are better because the Giants have beaten real teams. The Washington football team has beaten the Giants and the Falcons. Yeah. OK.

You know what I'm going to request that you relegate the Washington football team from two and five to one and six. Oh OK. Can they be included in the one and six. Yeah. Because that guy was he wasn't off sides. Yeah. So I disavowed that win.

Yeah. Against the Giants. Yeah yeah. So we beat the Falcons. All right. I'll put them in there. OK. So they.

So OK. In terms of one lost one win teams. Yeah. They are probably not the not the best. No. They're second though. OK. Who's number one.

I'd probably put the Dolphins one. But that's subject to change. Yeah. Based on all 22. I'd say we're just off top of my head and I got to look at the statistical models that I have on my computer and everything. But right now if I had to do it if I called the Washington football team a one loss team it would go dolphins.

Washington football team Texans Jaguars. OK. Ron Rivera here's my advice to you. Just run the fucking football. Yeah. Just do it like just who's going to get mad at you if you go out there and you just run the ball. Triple option.

Yes. Just go to Navy's offense. Tell her how he could run the triple option. It's salute to service. Yes. What better salute to service than to just run the ball 55 times. I'd love to see it. I'd love to see it.

All right. But oh yeah Broncos. I don't know. I mean that you can't like Broncos are so bad. They try to lose that game so many times that you can't even be like that was a great win. No it was not good for either team. Yeah.

Both teams should be ashamed. Both both fan bases should be ashamed for giving those teams your money. Although I saw that Peyton Manning was there for his Ring of Honor ceremony. Why do all the mannings are getting honored. Why do you waste your Ring of Honor ceremony against the football team. Well because they won. Well because they won. Good point.

Yeah we could probably learn a thing or two and not schedule our next ceremony for the chiefs. Probably just two days ago. Yeah. Yeah they probably just yeah they were like hey can you just are you free. It's crazy the Broncos are four and four and I even said when when they were fumbling away the game and trying to lose the game I was like the Broncos what are you doing. And all these Broncos fans were replying being like we're not good. Yeah.

We're just not a good team but they're four and four. Yeah. It's crazy. I mean they've beaten some. Well I think that the list of teams that the Broncos have beaten are actually funny. If you if you say all the team names in succession. They've they've beaten the Giants the Jaguars the Jets the Washington football. Yeah that's a joke.

Yeah it's incredible. They're the the Broncos and the Panthers are the Spider-Man meme. Yeah. Because they're both they're both now sitting at four and four and it's like insane that they're both four and four because the Panthers have beaten the Jets the Saints that counts the Texans and the Falcons. So reminder for you from two weeks ago to remind you that the Panthers aren't good no matter what happened in the last two weeks.

Yes okay good they're not good. They're not good. All right last game great game Bucks Saints. James got hurt. It was very sad although he was celebrating in the post game locker room with his crutches all-time clip. I fucking love James so much. It was how would you even verbally just just play it out play it out as if someone can't

see the video. Yeah so he was so James I think might have torn his ACL Billy called an LCL he he got carted off he was not carted off but he was off a lot of pain horse collar tackle they get the big win the the locker room looks like there's like some kind of smoke machine or something it's like club dub club dub like weird shit going on it's everyone in their pads dancing and then the camera flips and it's James going fucking bananas with his crutches in his hands like Lisa Turtle doing the screech that's a throwback that only pfc and I will know right there.

I think he was playing air guitar and scrutches which is fucking awesome I'm actually more concerned that James is going to injure himself worse being injured than he would playing in football games because he's going to be a guy that's on the sideline if he does have to get surgery he's going to insist on being on the sideline day one and he's going to be trying to spread around like hitting people on the ass with his crutches someone's probably going to fight him because he gets them to pumped up for a game. The team loves James you could tell when he was going when he was going off like how much they love him it also was very unfortunate because James was certified on one today like he was

making plays he was doing he tried to do the pitch 10 yards down the field the forward pitch that he like faked the guy out he was wiggling around he was doing crazy shit he was running we need to talk a lot we need to talk a little bit more about the fake pitch play that he had he was like 13 yards downfield he's running with the ball and then there's a defender closing in on him he pretends that he's going to granny shot style pitch the ball at the defender because there's nobody that he would be passing him off to so he like faked them out with a pass so it's actually like a genius move because the defender would probably put their hands up like yes it's not out of the world of possibility that James Winston would throw an interception 15 yards down

and so you have to be ready for that and then James just scoots around him and when he got tackled it looked like he was doing the drill again where he ran through all those the arms you know that gauntlet thing and he's like stumbling around James was fucking awesome it was so great I I'm not ashamed to say it I almost cried when James Winston got hurt it was very sad when he hurts I hurt yeah no it sucks I I I love James Winston I wish he was still with us yes moment of silence no longer with us moment of silence for James all right that's long enough Trevor Simeon played well also the Saints just have Brady's number I know that you know the Bucks beat the Saints when it mattered in the playoffs Drew Brees's noodle arm

was a large part of that but the Saints now since Brady's gone to the AFC or NFC South they're three and one against Tom Brady and he looks uncomfortable playing against them like that was a great defensive game for the Saints they obviously had a couple blown like that touchdown where no one was even on that half of the field but it was crazy because with a minute left I think all three timeouts or two timeouts you're like there's way too much time for Tom Brady he's gonna win this game we've seen a million times pick like it was it would pick six I also think going to this game obviously Mike Evans and CD do's don't like each other very much and so Bruce Arians is probably just like if you want to kick his ass kick his ass now

not in the playoffs right like get it all out now if you have to get suspended for a week just get into a fight with him today don't do it in January yes and of course they went at it Mike Evans like I don't know what the Saints defenders say to Mike Evans to piss him off so much but they do it they're very good at yes I think CD do's must just be an all-time shit talker they the Saints are a certified tough out at this point yeah like they just they play in the dome and it's they're just a like a hard nose football team they beat you up they tackle well like they just I don't know their defense all over the place and they're off like even their offense play their offense plays like their defense like Alvin Kamara like always gets the extra yards kind of

it's violent running so they're a decent team and I don't know what's going to happen if it's going to be Trevor Simeon I know that we're going to pretend the true breeze is going to get a phone call that will be funny he already shot that down he said I think Mike Turico asked him on football night in America and he said I will be broadcasting the Notre Dame game this weekend so I that's actually kind of a non-denial that doesn't mean you can't play right well how are the ribs ah not good still probably not that good yeah I don't think that Drew Brees is coming back but Taysum Hill should be back next week Taysum Hill should be back Andy Dalton is still out there available to be traded for is he yep as first report come and get him I do like I like Trevor

Simeon my only problem is he's an all-time pat the ball guy yeah yeah Blake yeah Blake good call imagine Blake in the big easy oh hell yeah it would work it would work Blake Pontchartrain yeah it would work Kevin White won catch 38 yards no big deal um also one target Mike Evans faked out an adult male on his touchdown celebration that was cool acted like he was going to hand it to the dude and then instead handed it to a seven-year-old girl yeah because it's probably a lot easier to get the ball back if you need to from the child yep but uh that was yeah big win for the saints huge win for the saints the bucks are mortal the bucks I the bucks are like the bucks dirty what do you mean dirty their defense like they beat the fuck out of people well they do it after the west that

was it that was a horse collar yeah is that Devin Devin white yeah Devin white and Vita Vade like even a horse call yeah it was a horse collar Hank he's going out of the league Hank James might never walk again okay disgusting yeah yeah he should be he got horse collar to hold collar and they didn't just throw a penalty because James got hurt I bet you that James is going to train in the offseason actually like wearing a saddle and being treated like a horse just to protect against that damn it it's a jockey on please have a documentary about him please please I yeah I need all in one James one yes yes um all right let's uh do football guy the week brought to you by Chevy right yeah we love Chevy Chevy is the ultimate football guy truck

we're truck guys here at part of my take and if I didn't live in New York I would own a Chevy Silverado they're amazing my friend bought an all-new Chevy Silverado he drove it to the beach this summer I got to check it out it's better than I ever could have imagined this truck is the real deal especially the tailgate part of the truck tailgate is a must-have if you're going to a tailgate party the Chevy Silverado has the most advanced tailgate the multi-flex tailgate it's got six convenient configurations gives you a step up on your tailgate game it's got the primary tailgate which opens with a push of a button on the key fob or from inside the truck then they've got the inner gate that folds into a large step makes getting in and out of the bed super easy

there's an easy access configuration where the inner gate folds down allowing you to reach farther to the bed and it can also become a desk or a surface for your tailgating meal it's the best tailgate in the world for tailgating that's just the fact and inside the truck is super comfortable luxurious almost luxuries but it's also strong it's the most advanced Silverado ever as truck guys we know it's strong advanced dependable and it's hard working so this football season go test drive a Chevy Silverado today whisper into the Chevy Silverado salesperson's ear pardon my take sent me and they will give you a free cup of coffee hundred dollars off your Chevy Silverado and a full tank of gas if you choose to buy that Silverado which you should

it's the most strongest it's the strongest most advanced Silverado you know what it is also the most strongest advanced Silverado ever yes all right Billy let's go football guy of the week so we had an awesome week eight nominees pool congratulations to week seven the winner Max Williams who dressed up in his full gear while he was injured to watch the Cardinals so he beat out some pretty good competition with Dawson Knox with a broken thumb and the high school kid who played through bleeding lungs I do not know how he beat those two yeah the guy that bit his lip and pretended that he wasn't bleeding from yeah yeah so uh first up we have Colin Wilder free safety for Wisconsin so if you saw in Wisconsin 24-7 went over Iowa there was a grit factory hat

that they're all wearing is a turnover touchdown reward so that was uh Colin Wilder's uh halloween costume that got incorporated into the game last minute he was dressed up as a grit factory worker for his Halloween love okay dude you clock in clock out at the grit factory I think there's always open it's always over time yeah yeah I like that gee remind me tomorrow I want to do an NIL deal for the grit factory hats okay yeah that'll be sick we're gonna have grit factory hats soon that you can buy it's awesome yes uh our second nominee is Mark Schlereth a retired piss dog who is quoted on saying on the piss dog right yeah he is he's retired from the piss dog do you retire actually if anything when

you get really old you become a piss dog again uh huh okay resurgence yeah you you come into this world of piss dog you leave this world of piss dog it's a beauty of life uh he was quoted on saying in the Washington football team Broncos broadcast I love football it is the lifeblood that courses through my veins this is awesome and it was probably talking about a punt yeah I think it was it was actually during a timeout and he was dressed up as Mr. Incredible so okay football guy uh our third nominee is another Wisconsin player Jack Sanborn who said he dislocated his finger to the point where stitches were needed inside the locker room said it was pretty gnarly but came back because it's Iowa week yes playing through pain the shit out of Iowa I don't know

how you can dislocate your finger to need stitches because the bone comes out yeah you get a compound fracture at dislocation then they jerk it back in Iowa that's pretty gnarly but pretty awesome our fourth nominee is Jed Fish the head coach of the University of Arizona who said about uh his players I probably tell him I love him more than my own wife on his linebacker Anthony Pandy so love it football might be uh his true love and his players much more than his own wife so those are four nominees for this week you can vote on them uh on the part of my take twitter and also our bonus throwback football guy of the week yeah this was going yeah you're putting an overtime work at the grip factory well sometimes when there's a bad crop you need to just bring

something back so yeah you said you said before we got into it that we have an awesome crop yeah but he's doing it every week I'm doing every week so all right it's always exciting so I was excited there was a video that was going viral this week which is perfect because I is a viral old football guy moment on this day in 1974 Vikings quarterback Fran Tarkenton celebrate what seemed to like a game-winning touchdown by spiking the ball off Patriots cornerbacks Ron Balton's head and getting ejected after the ensuing fight now this is an insane video because he scores a touchdown and then just really turns around and takes a football and spikes a guy in the head yeah it was awesome celebration yeah I've had your time Wilson did that and then the center his center is the ultimate

football guy the the quarterback and the cornerback on the fight and the senators comes out of nowhere and it starts bulldozing people to get you know protect his quarterback it was insane and it was actually kind of warranted because you can't really see in the video but the cornerback try to step on his heels after he scored the touchdown try to get a little extra action which caused bullshit kind of yeah by the way do you think that if Patrick Mahomes through that left-handed interception that Carson wins through everybody be going nuts of what a smart play it was great pick six yes yes yeah those are football guys okay good job Billy job Billy thanks i'm proud of you um all right let's wrap up we got who's back of the week who's back the week is

brought to you by the cash app who's back the week brought to you by the cash app the stock market is back investing through cash app is back buying and sell bitcoin is back download the cash app enter referral code barstool you receive ten dollars and they will now send ten dollars to ASPCA when you download the cash app from the app store or google play store today also I forgot one thing to say about the Patriots Chargers game sad I mentioned this guy last week he's doing sad stats for us Jeff Henderson great like go follow him great sad stats Jacobi Myers there's never been a wide receiver like Jacobi Myers in that he has played three years in the NFL 126 receptions 1478 yards has yet to catch a touchdown wow has not caught a touchdown I think

we got to start betting him to catch a touchdown every single week I like it has never caught a touchdown he leads the the the tweet that he sent me he made a graph he he leads the uh he's like far and away like 3x uh the the uh wide receiver end zone virgins with the most blue balls that's jacobi that's incredible he has not I bet there were some players on those chiefs teams back from like 2015 where alex smith went like two years ago throwing a touchdown they already had been in the league right he's never ever caught a touchdown I'm just saying there's probably like one rookie one of those years um but that's a lot of catches 140 126 receptions not a single touchdown catch let's get him one yeah we're gonna start betting on let's get a touchdown all right uh Hank um who's

back was oj we talked about that already um either who's back which we already kind of talked about was just my back backs in general a lot of awl's a lot of people reaching out there's a lot of people telling me they've gone through similar experiences sucks and not one single person was giving me any type of positive like you know it's fair because they're just being honest with me but it's like I'm in pain I can't move I mentioned that online and everyone's like yet it sucks like good luck for the next two weeks like you're just gonna be miserable the best part about having a back injury Hank is it's going to be like that forever yeah yep I already gave him that so yeah also um not to hurt your feelings but I told Dave when he was like wears Hank during

the Patriots game I was like he threw out his back and he goes how old is he yeah no I mean I agreed I feel the same way uh the little bit of for this shit the the bright spot is that if you do the exercises big cat fixed my back yep to the point where if I do these exercises like five days a week I actually don't feel bad but if I if I miss them for two or three days I wake up feeling like my back's on fire so just do the exercises gonna become a yogi no you're not you have a double just do like these three exercises that will strengthen your core a little bit and you won't throw out your back is a targeted ad these three no tricks yeah lay on this thing doctors piece of plastic doctors hate it yeah all right pizzi your who's back

my who's back is arch manning oh arch mannings back this week he went to Clemson so he's doing his college tour that are all unofficial visits though meaning that the manning family is paying for them yep they've got a lot of money those mannings and so arch is going to different college every week getting all the all the stops pulled out forms they treat him like he's a celebrity this weekend he went to Clemson Davos when he made his pitch to him but I think we need to have the conversation around arch manning have you seen the teams that he plays against in high school why have you seen any of the highlights well yeah I have because Billy always puts his games on he they look like they're tiny people that he plays against are they yeah even the same age

it's private school right so his league isn't like IMG academy like top quality competition he's like from what Ben Mintz has described to me that his league's a little like it's kind of mid tier okay he's playing mids he's playing mids and I've noticed that he's very good with his feet I've seen him going a couple long scrambles is he going to be quarterback are we sure that arch manning is a quarterback because remember Cooper was a wide receiver yeah what if a team is like hey listen arch we see you as being an elite wide receiver in college yes would he ever do that probably not Billy uncoachable some are saying I'd see his 40 because he might just be fast for that league that's what I'm saying it's impossible to evaluate it does look like he's

playing against sixth graders sometimes yeah he's so much bigger than everybody else uh is he a bust is arch manning a bust probably let's have the discussion no because he's lost in high school which I think is important for a quarterbacks progression good point good point losing it I'm serious yeah I know I know guys who don't lose in high school they don't pan out yeah Trevor Lawrence I want him to go all these bad players he can't go to Clemson don't go to Clemson yeah don't that would not be fun I want him to go to Texas I'll miss would be fun because it would just be like they're not gonna I want him to go somewhere where he he won't have like the most loaded team every year I want him to go somewhere where he wants to go yeah I'm team arch he should get what if he

goes to just like some small liberal arts college like he goes to read he goes to read and just gets high yeah that would be fun uh Jackson State yes we are recruiting him right recruiting him actively take a take a unofficial visit to Jackson State yeah arch my who's back the week is uh bashing candy corn it's back so this is the season there's two seasons that you get to just take out the the old reliable online for instant retweets it's peeps around around Easter and candy corn around Halloween I I never thought candy corn was as bad as everyone says it is I don't think it's good but it is always funny when everyone's like you know what really sucks candy corn I agree it's oh wow you you can go with something original candy corn's fine it's I it's it's okay I said I I like

one handful of candy corn a year candy corn's perfect peeps are good too I I don't want handful I don't like actively seek out candy corn yeah no if you if you have a bowl I will take one handful and then you know what it's almost like uh it's like swimming when we watch swimming every four years like that's enough swimming for four years a one handful of candy corn that's enough candy corn for the whole year sometimes I fuck around with a little candy pumpkins too oh wow which are I think those are the same exact ingredients right it's the same thing yeah but they taste different it's like all the pump is different yeah yeah Olympics and back only a hundred days till the winter Olympics oh thank god that's a lot that's a lot you know a little amount of time is uh is

Lolo Jones playing she doing the winner the bobsled I don't know she's she's like a world champion bobsled is yeah exactly just so you throw your back on holidays like when everyone's growing up for Halloween that's very sad I mean I was going to the movies so I don't think that matters so it's already sad I guess did you watch the movie that you were gonna go out and watch at home I was gonna spy I well yeah I tried to spite watch it because I was so mad at myself for hurting my back trying to go to the movies by myself which now sounds sadder now that they could said that I didn't mean to do that and then I was like all right I'm gonna watch the movie and I fell asleep during it did you guys dress up for Halloween Jake and yeah Billy would you
