I'll pick a call for my wife. Hold on. Hello? That's okay. Yeah, it's been saying that. Okay. Bye. All right, boy, now, Mike. What's been saying that? Check in, gentlemen. Well, I'm glad you asked. No.

So we're having a little car squeeze right now because my wife's car died and had to get towed off. So she's driving my car. And there's a tire pressure light that comes on. But it's come on since the weather changed. Oh, yeah. That happens. That's so normal. Yeah, yeah.

And so I haven't fixed it. I don't need to because you can hit a button and it tells you what each tire's up on. So all the numbers are fine. But I just haven't turned it off. And she's like, it's okay because she doesn't drive the car every day. Dude, for a minute there, I was so proud of you. I'm like, you're starting to sound like me. Like my wife gets in my car.

She's like, all right, the airbag lights on, the check engine light on. It's all good. You're good. It's only been on for a year. It's all right. I was worried it was something else. But no, she's good. She's driving my car.

All good. Does she like it? Driving your car? Yeah. Yeah, she wants one. Really? Yeah. So we'll see.

I got her one. I told you can have whatever she wants. I don't care what she gets. I was like, just pick something out. You can have it. It does not matter what it is. That's what you say? Dang.

Yeah, that's cool. You never tell us that. You're not my wife. You have whatever you want. But she's like, well, I was like, anything, whatever you want, just pick it out and we'll go get it. Wow, that's so crazy, dude. But I mean, it's got to be within reason. No, but she's a reasonable person, but it doesn't have to be within reason.

Pick whatever you want. We'll go get it. If she says the Batmobile, you're getting the Batmobile. Well, obviously the Batmobile doesn't have a place. for like a stroller in the trunk and a child seat. That's right. So, yeah, whatever. That's cool.

Yeah. Someday. Okay. Yeah. Is that weird? Yes, dude. Like, my wife would flip if I said, just get whatever you want. She'd be like, what?

Because usually it's like, she'll say like, oh, I'm looking at this. I'll be like, oh, no, no, no, no. It's too much, too much. Tone it down a little bit. Try something else. Now, my wife's reasonable, and if she didn't want to be reasonable, that would be fine, too. Have at it. Get two. What do I care? What do I care? Keep one to Eddie.

Yeah, what do I care? Glad everybody's here. Eddie looks like an eggplant today, and I said that to him earlier, and he got offended. I don't understand. I don't think it's bad. That is just a very purple color. And I'm not someone who's known for knowing colors, but I know an eggplant color when I see one. You know what you're right.

Is it because the emoji? That's exactly what it is. It's the moater. He's the weiner emoji. I didn't realize it is the exact color of an eggplant. because there are different shades of purple. Yeah. Right? This is eggplant purple.

I didn't realize that. It's very feminine. It is? Yeah, of course. It's something I would wear. Hold on. What do you mean by that? I don't mind sliding down the feminine side a little bit.

I'm wearing different clothes that you or dudes would go, I don't know. I should be wearing that. Oh, I've never been like that. Like pink, love wearing pink. That's that. Okay. Yeah, I'm cool with it. But, dude, I don't normally dress like this.

And then today I was just like one. another time. Yeah, yeah. And I didn't say anything purposefully. He's thought it, as soon as he walked in the morning, I was like, Eggplant, I got to say it. I can't hold it back. You look like an eggplant.

So it's a good shirt, though. Thank you, man. Yeah. I got it at, uh, I don't know where I got it. I have no idea. Like, I don't buy my clothes. Like, I don't know the last time I bought clothes. So how do you get clothes?

My wife comes home with clothes. She's like, I saw this at the store. I thought you might like it. I love it. Free stuff, you know? A lot of that. athletic wear that we got at these colleges. I still wear those. I still wear the crap out of this. I was wearing those BYU shorts that we got from BYU the other day. And some guy comes up and just

yell something at me. And I thought, I was like, what? It had to be something. Go Cubs, but they're not playing. And Caitlin was with me and she goes, what did he yell? I said, go Cubs. And then that's all I remember. And then we kept walking and someone else goes, go Coogs. And I was like, oh, Cookew! BYU! He was yelling at the shorts. And when that first guy said that, I just said that, I looked at him like, huh? And he had to feel weird because he sees someone wearing BYU stuff. He probably went to BYU as a fan. He goes, go Couges.

And the guy who's also should be go Cougan's like, huh? Did I remember we were hiking somewhere? And I had a Cowboys head on. My cap said Cowboys. I had an Arizona shirt on. And then I had like Cincinnati shorts on. Oh, boy. And I heard the guy walked by me like, well, that guy's a little confused.

You were Neapolitan ice cream. Yeah, with your screenings. So I've heard from a birdie that we're going to another game this weekend. I know. I just heard that. So my wife is like, hey, I'll go to the Vanderbilt game. They're like, awesome. I'm trying to go to every game.

She will never go. And so since it's here, she's like, yeah, I'll go. I was like, great. And I'm going to buy tickets because I'm not sitting in the Arkansas part because away seat tickets are like in the corner. They stick the away teams in a crappy spot. Okay, yeah. And so I'm just going to buy tickets.

and she was like, who do we want to go with this? I said, who do you want to go with this? She goes, what about, you know, Eddie's wife and Eddie? I said, you can ask. I said, I would ask now. I said, I'm not going to ask Eddie because it's going to seem like we're just plotting to go to another game. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I said, but if you ask Eddie's wife and you say, it was your idea, there's a chance that they'd want to go. And so she texted Eddie's wife and Chibi back and she said, yeah, I think they're going to go. It was great. Nice. Dude, it was amazing. It was the first time where I didn't have to be like, all right, I got to wait

for the right time to ask. Yeah. Make sure that she's in a good mood. Well, you didn't even know. I didn't even invite you because we went last weekend. Correct. So my wife texted me. She's like, hey, I got to ask you a question.

Call me whenever. I'm like, I don't know. Check it in life. I'm like, great. She's pregnant again. Oh, no. It gets worse. It gets worse.

So then I call her and she's just like, hey, we got invited to go to the Arkansas game. No, no. She said the Vandy game. And I go, oh, who invited us to go to the Vandy game? Like, that's awkward. They're playing Arkansas. She's like, no, no, no. Caitlin invited us.

And I'm like, oh, I don't know. I played it like, you know, cool. Like, I don't know. Like, you didn't want to go too long. Yeah, like we just went to the game in Arkansas. Yes, let's go. So we're going, dude. Yeah.

That's going to be awesome. It wasn't really my idea. I know. That's even better. But when she said, you should ask Eddie, I said, no, this is your idea. If I ask Eddie and then he says to his wife, it's going to seem like you guys just got coupled in so Eddie could go. Yes. Yes. So smart, dude. But it wasn't. It was the opposite. Strategy, man. Good, good job. Now, do you think your wife had to think, like, oh, I got to catch Eddie at the

right time? Good question. Good question. I think she was like, I probably don't even need to ask Eddie. What about the kids? Who's watching the kids? My oldest son, he's 18. He's good. And he's okay on a Saturday night, staying home. He's okay or he has to be okay. No, no, he's okay. He orders pizza. He's a pro-edit now. And then he puts on movies. puts on one movie. If we're running a little late, you're pulling on two movies. I mean, dude, babysitting is so easy. Ugh.

Like, I don't know. Maybe now. Just put on a movie. Like, even the babysitters that, like, we used to get when, you know, my oldest was younger, I feel like they had it easy too, but, like, we kept losing babysitters left and right. They were dying? No, no, no, no. They never were found?

Almost, dude. My kids would drive them so crazy that they would quit. They would ghost me. Oh, no. Well, it'd be fun. Can't wait. We're going to win this game. Sweet.

What's her situation? It's not my school. We'll be in the stands. A field? No, it's not my school. Okay. No, free food? Yeah, free food?

No, we're going to a game like a normal person. Dang. Oh, dang. I haven't done that in a while. I haven't either. No. I have a lot of Arkansas people that are coming in. And so I like to work for the program or the administration.

And so I'm going to see them, but I'm not asking them for anything. just because it's kind of awkward with me constantly complaining about that leadership. I just, you know, I'm not even asking. I could easily get tickets, but then you're in a bad part of the stadium where they put the away fans. Does they see your tweets? They do. Probably, okay. Yeah.

I did not expect as many people did. You were with me. Every time we go somewhere, it wasn't a big fan of the show. It was like, hey, I haven't seen your tweets. Keep it up. Keep those tweets coming. I've done 30 days in a row every day on my Twitter, which is now at Bobby Bones, where I am just reflecting on the last decade of incompetence.

Dang. Every day. For 30 days in a row. And people love it because you are a voice for them. I didn't know if they loved it or not. I don't think I represent anybody except myself. But I get some messages, but Twitter's weird. It's mostly Russian bots anyway.

Yeah. But when we went to the game, dude, 20 times. Wow. And they would say, they would say like, hey, those daily tweets, keep them coming. I'm thinking like, what is he tweeting daily? That's what he's doing. Like three and four and five-minute videos every day. Wow.

I just go sit down and talk to camera. I've seen a couple, but I didn't know you were doing it every day. 30 days in a row. If I miss a day, I'll quit totally. I'm on a streak right now. So I'm like, I want to Snapchat streak. I don't want to break it. Do you build this in your head throughout the day and you're like, this is what I'm going to say?

Or does it just like, I'm just going firing away right now? The first couple days, I was just firing away. Okay. But then you kind of run out of stuff. Yeah. And so I keep a notes app and I read something and I comment on it. and then I pull up my notes app and I kind of get it in my head

and then just do it. Nice. Yeah, it's been going pretty good. Sometimes it's stupid. Like when my car broke down, I was in my car and it was kind of dark outside and I said, I'm waiting for a tow truck.

I'm broken down on the side of the road. This is a metaphor for our program. Oh, nice. So sometimes stuff like that would happen. It's organic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That organic content. But they know, like, I go hard at our athletic director

without actually saying his name. But I'm like, it's been a leadership failure. Yeah. I actually emailed because the Board of Trustees is who makes up at a university, a public university. It may be private too. The Board of Trustees are appointed by the governor and they actually make the decisions. And so I was emailing the Board of Trustees just on the right school address. Dang.

I know. Off from the website? Yeah, it's pretty pissed. C.C. Engel. I got a response. Really? Was it like a generic response or like, oh, nice. Yeah, we got a response.

And I'm not going to say what they said, but I got a response. So I was surprised I got a response. Yeah, same. Because they were launching a campaign to email the board of trustees, and I'm like, don't mind if I do. You got it. Yeah. Yeah, it's just bad. Scan the SCUR code.

Okay. It's the worst it's ever been. Okay. So let's start with this question. This is mostly at you. Oh. I thought it was because of you. Can you be a fan and still be a hater?

Now, you love the team. Yeah. But you're constantly criticizing them. You're saying it's over. Because you could say this a bit with Arkansas and me too. but you still complain, but you still wear the logo? Can you be a fan and a hater at the same time? What's the line?

I'm going to say no. Like, I do not like our fans that turn on the team. You do that? No, I don't. Yes, you do. Oh, my God. Everybody, is he insane right now? He's ready to burn it down every time you lose.

When you lose, you're like, we're done this year. Guys, look, I start the season very optimistic, right? This is just kind of how it goes every year. And then after a few games, you start realizing that we're not going to the Super Bowl like I thought I did two weeks ago. So then you start just protecting your heart a little bit, not by hating on the team, but by being realistic. It manifests itself through hate. You may not know that.

I don't feel the hate. You say it. We suck. We're a joke. We guys need to work harder. Yeah. But then a win will turn that around real quick. You know, like if we beat the Packers this weekend, we're back, baby.

You know? So it's not hating your team. It's just... But it's being a hater. There's a difference. I don't... I will never hate the Dallas Cowboys. But you're a hater sometimes.

It's all love. You know, it's like your wife. You love your wife. But sometimes you get upset with her. Sometimes you get a little disappointed with her. But overall, you love her. That's me and the Cowboys. My views don't reflect what he just said.

You get a little disappointed in her. That feels like... Well, you know. Like, you have little arguments and you're just like... How you said it? How did I say it? You're the head and nobody questions the head. get disappointed at your children and your wife.

That's where it felt like. I didn't say that. Guys, didn't know what it felt like? I didn't feel like that. Yeah. You're the boss. And the boss is getting disappointed as employees. Not disappointed.

You just said that. This is like when you say you don't hate on the Cowboys, you do. But that's okay. Right now, I can be a hater towards parts of the Arkansas Razorback athletic program. I will never hate the team. But I can be a little hater sometimes, the parts of it that I think are affecting us in a negative way. Yeah, but that's not being a hater. Yeah.

Could be. You can be a hater but not hate the team. Yeah. Okay. So I think you think he's asking like, do you hate your team if you're a hater? Yes. Not necessarily. I will never hate my team.

I get disappointed with the team. I get my feelings hurt with how they perform. But I'll never turn on my team. Brandon, that's not true. You turn on the team every three weeks. Brandon, on the other hand, he will not tell people he's a Cowboys fan if they're playing really bad. That is not true. You know?

That's not true. Why are you throwing him on the bus? He didn't have a camera on him and you're throwing him on the bus. Because he's a bus. Because he's a Cowboys fan. Mike's a Cowboys fan. He will always claim the Cowboys. I claim the Cowboys.

What are you talking about? Not if they're losing. He's looking to put this on someone else. He comes on here every third a week and is a hater. Yeah. I don't hate. I love my Cowboys. I just am realistic sometimes.

Okay. So did I answer your question properly? No, you lied. Okay. Top Ten worst contracts in NFL history. Ooh. Okay. Kevin, what comes to mind?

Can you name one? Albert Hainsworth. At number two on the list from 2009, at the time there were the Washington Redskins, Albert Hainsworth signed a seven-year, $100 million deal. He played 20 games. Dang. He was the first 100 million guy, I think, too, right? Yeah.

And not just 20 games, because he's also had a terrible attitude. Yes, I think he was a bad person in general. Yeah. Okay. Tua. Not yet. Oh, dang. He's still in the contract.

He can win a couple of them. in this deal. You never know. I'll stop throwing those picks, too. When he went in and threw the pick in overtime, my heart hurt for him. I'll tell you, as soon as he hits the field, I start feeling like, please don't get hit. Like, don't get hit in the head. Like, no more.

He didn't get hit in the head last year, so I feel like we're a bit removed from it. Yeah, but he still has that. How many times has he got a concussion? I just felt bad for him. He goes in and throws a pick immediately. Yeah. Like third play or something, second or third play. Yeah, I think third.

All right. Eddie, can you name a bad contract? That was Zika Elliott. Is that just your heart? You mean a hater? That was a bad one, dude. Is he on the list? No.

Oh. Was it a bad one? I love that deal because I'm a Cowboys fan. Real Cowboys fans love it. Anything else coming to mind, Kevin? No. The number one would should really stand out. I know.

That's what I'm trying to think. This is the top ten worst contracts in NFL history. To be fair, we said we couldn't count to us because he was still playing. That's not accurate here with this one. The number one all time. Because he's still playing. Worst NFL contract is playing right now. He's playing right now.

And he's in the middle of his deal. Oh, it's Deshaun Watson. Duh. Five years, $230 million, fully guaranteed. First time that ever happened. Crazy. And he's actually okay this year, but what a terrible deal. And that contract was after his stuff.

Yeah. Teams are fighting for him. I believe this is year four of the deal. You may look that out, but I believe it's year four of the deal. If not, that's terrible. If it's three or two If it's five, that'd be pretty amazing. Russell Wilson in 2022, five years, $245 million.

Oh, yeah, the Broncos. That was hard to trade him. It was hard to move him. Yeah, because they had to take on that salary too. And he went to the Giants and were still making a ton of money. Steelers, yeah. Steelers? Yeah.

Both, right? Yeah. And he was still making all that money from the Broncos, so they were having to pay him like five bucks a year. So they were getting a quarterback cheap. Oh, that's right. What do you see about? Fifth year.

This is the last year of that deal. Sean Watson is in his fifth and final year. That's good. Hey, things are looking up, Browns. Then they need to lose more and get a quarterback. What are they doing winning games? Next up, it's a quarterback. The year was 2007.

This was a six-year, $61 million deal. They should have drafted Calvin Johnson instead. I was going to say, was he a rookie? He was, yeah. So it was Jamarcus Russell. Jamarcus Russell. He was out of the league in three years. Dang, those rookie contracts were long back then.

Back then, they were really long and they were really fat. Like, I remember whenever maybe the quarterback from Oklahoma, Sam Bradford. Sam Bradford. I think he was the last really big one. Yep. And then after that, we got to put some restraints on this. Yeah. At number five, the Texans, the year is 2016.

It was a quarterback. Four years, $72 million. So Matt Schaub. Brock Osweiler. Oh, man. Four years for $72 million, and basically they paid a pick to a team to take them so they could dump the salary. Was the Broncos? Yeah.

Yeah. And we beat the Patriots. He came into like a backup from Peyton and beat the Patriots, and he was like, oh, he's the guy. At number six from 2019, New York Jets, a running back. Who? Levian. Yep. Four years, $52 million.

He averaged $3.2. cards of carry. But also the Jets sucked. Yeah. It's kind of hard to be worth $52 million with great stats and wins whenever you're playing for, the Jets. They still suck. They still are pretty bad. Pretty bad. That was his second contract?

Probably. I would think so. I can remember he didn't play a whole year because he wanted to be paid as a receiver and running back. Nick Foles at 7 in 2019. He signed a four-year $88 million contract and he went 0.4 as a starter in that deal. I get that, but he also won a Super Bowl before that. But you should never get paid on what you did before. He signed that with the Jaguars.

Oh, that's right. Oh, gosh, I remember that. Those are bad days. Yeah. Number eight is a quarterback that's playing now. He's actually starting now, but he signed a four-year, $160 million deal, and was released from the team. Kirk Cousins.

Nope. Really? Baker? Mm-mm. Released from the team. 2023. A quarterback signed four-year 160. It was controversial that they signed him to that deal

because he was in his rookie deal and they had to make a decision. New coach was there, so the new coach had to make the decision. Sam Darnel? No. NFC East. Oh, NFC East.

Washington. He's starting right now for another team and actually had a pretty good season last year until he got injured. And he's playing okay this year considering he's coming off of an occasion. Achilles injury. Achilles.

Why am I blanking right now? Eagles. Was he a Giants player? Cowboys? Natsin Cowboys. Giants? Jackson Doard? No.

Who was before Jackson? This team was influenced heavily by Peyton Manning, who vouched for this person in the draft. I think he was maybe drafted six or seven or eight that year. I don't actually have that data here. But I know he was one of the early picks. Oh, Daniel Jones?

Daniel Jones. Oh. And he got released. That's right. Yeah. Dang, he was not coming up my head at all. I forgot about that. You guys said Giants and you kept moving off.

I know. We were on it. Who did the Giants have before Jackson? No chance you get this one, but I'll give you 15 seconds to try. 2021 New York Giants, wide receiver, four years, $72 million. Zero touchdowns in year one of that deal. New York Giants, 2021, four years, 72 million. Victor Cruz?

I remember this guy not scoring. I just can't remember his name right now. Kenny Gallaudet. Yeah, Kenny Gallaudet. And then at number 10, five years, $60 million was a defensive back. He was cut after two years. And he was also married to actress or was. I don't know if they're still together.

Is it Namdi? Yeah, Nomdi, Ossemoa. Awesome, yeah. Wow. He was so good and then just wasn't. Yep. Five years, $60 million and then got cut. Yes.

That is crazy. I'm the Eagle Super Team. Yeah. You guys want to talk about your team. Everybody gets 60 seconds. Eddie this week, go. Yeah, we have the Packers. We're playing in Lambo.

Should be a good one. I think we can actually win this game. The whole talk of Micah Parsons coming back, it's not going to happen. They're saying that Micah's not going to come back for this game, which would have been. I wouldn't either if I were him and it were even 70%. Yeah.

Any other game, possibly, but you don't want to come back against a team you were traded from and not be able to perform. Yeah. And also, I don't know what this is going to do for the Cowboys, but Jerry Jones says that our defensive coordinator is now going to be calling the plays from the booth and no longer going to be on the field. He believes that if you're going to coach the defense, you need to see the whole thing.

Get up to the top. That's not some revolutionary new theory. I know. But it's weird to me that you do, like, as a defensive coordinator, just stay at the bottom. Like, you don't see anything. Why wouldn't you want to see the bird's eye view? Because you want to be on the field and talk to your team. Yeah.

You can get the feel for the game. Get the little telephone. But also talk to multiple players at once. I mean, when they show him on TV, he's not talking to anyone. He looks sad. I would also look sad. Yeah, if that was my defense. Yeah.

It's not even the coordinator's fault. You don't have the horses to run the race. They can't even, like, tackle. No, they can't tackle. I just want to say, unlike Eddie, I truly believe in this defensive coordinator. He's a real fan. Not a hater, real fan. Wow, listen to that.

All right, Kevin, 60 seconds. Yeah, we got the Jets. The Patriots have the Jets this week at home. Coming off a couple big wins, Drake May is looking great, and I'm worried about a trap game, of course. Because there's always these games where we should win. It's the Jets. We're seven and a half-point favorites,

but we've had two very good weeks in a row in the NFL. You're like, it's going to fall at some point. Maybe that's pessimistic of me, but that's the way I'm thinking right now. Also, didn't the Jets beat the Browns last week? Yeah. Was that last week? NFL, man. That's what I'm saying.

Any given Sunday. Game of inches. We just say, all the same. All the same phrases. I think we win a game this week. Arkansas does. I think we beat Vanderbilt. Although Vanderbilt needs a win to actually be in the mix,

if there is a game that we're going to win, it's this game. So, feeling pretty good. I'd like to have three wins on the season. I know we play South Carolina. That's probably the only other game we'd have a chance to win in. But you never know game ventures. SCC. Game of Ventures. Any given Saturday.

Any given Saturday. Saturday's for the voice. It's a night game too. That'll be fun. Yeah. Yeah. And I haven't been to the new stadium. It looks nice.

I've been able to a single game there. Or the stadium that has new parts to it. Yes, because it's the same stadium. Renovated, but renovated. Yeah. Yeah, so, yeah, looking forward to it. And the weather will be kind of like 50s. Perfect.

Upper 50s. Perfect. So are we wearing red? Yeah. Okay. It's making sure. We're just in the normal. We're in Gen.

With Arkansas fans, right? No, we're in Jen. I don't even got on tickets yet. Oh. Wait, wait. Wait, wait. You haven't got the tickets yet? No.

What are you going to just get on? Both teams sucked in like a buck. What do you get on Seat Hub or something? Yeah. Go ahead and get tickets. Seat geek, seek geek. I need to do that today, though. Yeah, dude.

So, yeah, Mike, Texas Longhorns. Optimistic, but I'm nervous about the offense. The offense looked terrible last week. We're just struggling. Florida's also coming off a loss. Yeah. That's scary. Florida could lose three in a row because, you know, they feel, hey, back's against the wall.

Any given Saturday. Game of bitches. NCCC. Game of bitches. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The football season is heating up and every week feels bigger with Draft Kings. The Draft King Sports app is now live in all 50 states.

That means from Texas to California to Florida. Every fan is in on the excitement. Follow the teams you love. Keep up with the biggest games and experience the excitement of football all week long. No matter which game you're watching, you're always connected with one app. So this week, the biggest game, Ohio State at Indiana.

I did see where it's the only time ever there's been, I think, a 20-game win streak and the home team is the underdog. So that game is fun. The Florida and Texas game, I think it'll be pretty good. Mike, I think you're on to something there. I wouldn't want to play Florida this week after two bad losses in a row. Mississippi, LSU will be interesting because whoever loses that, that's an I-quit match.

You quit getting to even talk about being in the playoffs. So, Missouri Ole Miss, Alabama, Tennessee. Tennessee shouldn't lose another one because this is almost an I-quit match for them, too. Has to be. They suck. I thought they've lost more than one. It just seems like they've lost. Well, no, they lost in their hearts

when Arkansas played them within a possession. That's what it was. That's what it was. They lost in their hearts. Yeah, I was a big fan. I just couldn't think of what it was. And Notre Dame at Go Coogs. Go Coogs.

Listen to Radio 831, a romance podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, joining us now is Mike Sando, senior NFL writer for The Athletic. You can follow them on Twitter, Sando, NFL. We had them on before the season talking about quarterback tiers, which is always so much fun. And Mike, we appreciate you coming on.

And I did want to start because I was reading your article about the unbeaten teams. And so the three unbeaten teams left are the 49ers, the Vikings, and the Chiefs. Each of them kind of has their own story attached. Which one do you feel like is the most undefeated, if that would be a term? It's probably the 49ers at this point. I mean, going into Seattle and winning, I think their defense is probably underrated. You know, they've had a number of injuries. And there's some young guys there that people don't know a ton about.

I think are playing decently. Rahim Morris has given them something. And then the past game's been, you know, pretty great. Hit some bumps against Seattle. But to me, they've kind of, you know, probably proven the most. And then, you know, Kansas City just has one fewer game. And I think we've got some question marks with their injuries at receiver now. Yeah, we heard Tyreek for a minute.

Are you still hearing that? I'm hearing it could be complicated a little bit. He's got other stuff going on, you know. And I think, I mean, is he going to come in and just be a consistently, elite performer, you know, or is he somebody maybe, maybe he's someone later in the year, you know, we'll see. I just, I just don't know if you can count on him for the long term, but it sounds like he's got, you know, his normal stuff off the field that could, could hinder him too. Do you know if they were in the mix at all from Marvin Harrison,

Jr., Kansas City? I don't know that. I didn't hear that. I think in that case you have, it's a little bit of, you know, the GM of Arizona and the GM of Houston. or great old buddies from going back to their time in New England. It felt like it was more limited to those guys. And then the weird delaying of the team that he was going to was a Montessonfort request. He's the GM of Arizona, honored by Houston. News still got out that there was going to be a trade.

So that felt like it was pretty much an inside deal to me. Another undefeated team, the Vikings, and it's been all defense, although Kyla Murray was efficient last game for sure. but is their defense, is it elite and built to be elite all season long? I think it is. You know, look, every defense is going to have some tough games, and when they play better quarterbacks and better offenses, they can still have a bad day.

You know, I don't think that they're unbeatable. I do think that it's too much to ask to make a deep playoff run without a lot more from your offense. So they're limited a little bit there. They're a little bit too one-dimensional. I think you've got to be able to threaten teams more offensively because you're going to play a complete team in the playoffs, someone who's hot, you know. I was reading your article that came out on Monday, your latest pick six article,

and you did mention Marvin Harrison Jr., which is why I brought it up. And I've been reading that he was upset because they wouldn't pay $50,000 for basically a jugs machine or whatever the interpretation is there. What is the deal with that? Yeah, so Arizona's got a long reputation of that type of stuff. What's interesting to me is that when you have a player like Mark, Marvin Harrison Jr., there's a Marvin Harrison Senior. You know, and some of these guys, even though I'm curious what's going on in Houston or in Cleveland now with Schuarder Sanders, his dad, who's been very outspoken in the past, but isn't right now.

Like how much of the stuff is being kind of worked out behind the scenes, right? And strategizing going on to get a guy moved, the jugs machine stuff, I mean, that would be classic Cardinal stuff. You know, they have a history going back before I was around covering the league of being accused. of being on the cheap end of stuff and not traveling as nicely as other teams, not leaving as early for an East Coast game, all that type of stuff. So it's plausible.

It's plausible with that team. Now, would every other team honor a request to spend $50,000 for something? Maybe not, but it sounds Arizona-ish. Yeah, it does sound Arizona-ish. That's a good way to describe that. It does sound Arizona-ish. I was looking back at your quarterback tiers

and you had in Tier 1, Josh Allen, Matthew Stafford, Patrick Mahomes, and Joe. Borough. Instead of asking who doesn't belong, has anybody moved from Tier 2 so far this season into Tier 1? Well, I think the best conversation

is going to be around Brock Purdy. He's had hot streaks before, so I think people have been slower to put him up. I think he's been respected, but not feared. Does that make sense? Like, the guys in Tier 1 are typically feared. Like, oh, my gosh, we've got to play this guy. At any time, we're

going to have the perfect defense, and he's going to solve it. I don't know that people feel that way about Purdy, but the respect for him and the way he's playing this year, you know, it's not like the run game's totally carrying them. It's not like the defense is just unbelievable. You know, he's, he was 9 of 10 on the two big drives against Seattle to win the game. So it would be interesting to see if he pushes up above because the top of Tier 2 has been Lamar Jackson, who I think if he plays, you know, he's always got a case for Tier 1. And then Justin Herbert's been up there too. And he's obviously going to come down. So is a purdy going to go past that,

right? And be just at the brink of tier one. I think we could see that. What about a Trevor Lawrence who was at the bottom of your tier two? Has he jumped some steps inside that tier? I would think so. I think he's moved up because he was, people were kind of down on him for his inconsistent accuracy as much as anything. That was really the number one disappointment of him. All these physical gifts, you know, and then he just missed too many throws. And it seems like this year, those are down. He does seem more on point, more on time, looks good. So I think for sure he's going to, he should be probably pushing up into that top 10 range now. You know, Dak Prescott's kind of been the gatekeeper of the top 10, 7, 8, 9, 10 kind of in there,

you know, shouldn't you get, you know, if he does this the whole season, maybe he gets into there. You had CJ Stroud in Tier 3, and this is obviously a big contract year for CJ. How do you feel like he's, they haven't won, they've been a close games, but how do you feel like he's done so far trying to make his mark and trying to make some money? I think he's actually played better than their record. It's been confounding how they've lost because their

defense hasn't been good, you know. They've been a bottom 10 defense after thinking they were going to be a top three defense. So that being said, if they have a disappointing season and miss the playoffs, I don't think that helps anybody for their contract. Unless he was just you know, balling out every week and throwing for 300 yards

and three touchdowns, he's not doing that. So I don't think it's hurting them. I think those guys still get paid. I think when you are drafted by the team, when you're with the team that drafted you, you tend to get the benefit of the doubt. And we've seen that with Trevor Lawrence. We sat with two a tongue of a low in Miami, right? It's a little bit harder to get the deal when you're the Sam Darnold or the Baker Mayfield and you're playing maybe something better than those guys, but you're not their guy. So I think I think he's still got a good chance of really getting paid. You mentioned Justin Herbert earlier. like what's happening in San,

I guess I'm not San Diego anymore. That's old me with the Chargers. Yeah, I actually respect the San Diego reference. Most of the coaches that I talk to still call them San Diego. It's like that they know where they are. It's like a stubborn playing out of habit. I'm not changing. But he looks like he's lost confidence.

I think the fear for him coming into the year was he's gotten hit so much that he's starting to play like it. And he start just being a little bit of a scarred player. And this season has to be, you know, increasing that a lot. I mean, there's tons of attention on him and them. It's not working. He doesn't look comfortable.

He's thrown interceptions. It's not working. So I think we could see a coordinator change there, which, you know, Adam Gase is probably in line. I actually would love to see that because it would just be a fun experiment to see, like, would the offense actually get better, you know? I mean, what is holding it back? Are we going to blame two coordinators?

Right? Because Justin Herbert's had a number of years where people expect. a little bit more of him and now a lot more of him and there's always been some reason. But at a certain point, you're the common denominator too. Jalen Hertz and the Eagles also a little bit on the struggle bus. What do you think's happening there? If you had said to me when they were in the Super Bowl,

hey, if you could do five things to destabilize this team around Jalen Hertz, that's okay. Have Jason Kelsey retire, Lane Johnson retire, have some under-injury on the offensive line. Let's have Jeff Stoutland their line coach leave. You know, let's have Sequin Berkeley be banged up and let's take away AJ Brown. And that's kind of where they are to me. You know, they've diminished their rosters diminished.

So they're hanging around nonetheless. Like they probably should have beat the Rams. I think they're three and two now. And if they can just sort of weather it and get Sequin and Berkeley back, kind of figure out what they're doing, not panic too early, you know, it's always been the same story with the offensive coordinator under heat and all of that. I get it. But if they can just ride it out, I mean, this division is kind of there for some.

somebody. And that's why I don't think they're in like a sales mode or anything like that. I think the Cam Jergens trade with a second round pick, they could get more than a fire sale. And so I'm not writing them off. I think I'm writing them off as like win the Super Bowl team, but I think they could still contend for that division. Okay, in that division, the Cowboys, is the division there for them to take? Yeah, I think at any, you know, I think they're going to have a top 10 offense, certainly maybe even top five. So they have to figure out, you know, can the defense get better of the course of the season? And we do see that happen sometimes.

You know, the concern was you've got a first-time de-coordinator, and so he has no track record of that. I think they brought in Mike Patton, who's been a de-coordinator and a head coach in the past. That has the possibility of helping them some. I think we've seen veteran coordinators. Steve Spagnola's had some rough games out of the gates before, and they've stabilized it. Mike McDonald, when he first started as a coordinator in Baltimore, and then even in Seattle as the head coach, the first half of the year was kind of not that good defensively. So less confidence in the Cowboys' ability to do that

because the coordinator's got no track record. But with Mike Petten in there, maybe they're closer. They just need to be 20th on defense, not 35th out of a 32-team league. And they might be 35th out of 32-team league. I'm sorry, Edith. We have a lot of Cowboys fans on this show, and they're just miserable.

I mean, it feels like every week we come, they're miserable. It's tough, and it's every year, you know. So I'm with you. I don't have a lot of faith in them ultimately, but I thought they would be better than this. And I actually thought defensively they would be a lot better than they are. So maybe that does speak to what's going on

from a coaching standpoint. Is there anything to the fact that preseason isn't as real? Players aren't playing. And someone like Drake May starts and struggles and then kind of gets his groove. Do you think not having a preseason actually matters? It could. Yeah.

I think it's on a case-by-case basis. but I think for these young players in particular, it could help them to get more, to get more reps. If you can't play, you're not going to start playing good later, if you're not good. But I do think there is something, too, just practicing football, right? It's all limited down in the off-season.

And I need to update this, but I had this kind of like a thing showing the amount of snaps that starting quarterbacks have played in the preseason over the years, and it goes like this. And then the other thing that's happened on top of that is, The position in the last three years has gotten super young. We used to have Philip Rivers and Drew Brees and Matt Ryan and all of these guys were still playing Tom Brady, right?

I don't think they needed as much, but I think for some of these young guys coming in, it has to be a factor. Speaking of young guys, I just want to roll three young quarterbacks by you before we finish and just kind of get your thoughts. Like to me, Michael Panix Jr. has been interesting because he didn't play, then he did play,

then they did win, then he got. Like, where do you see him now? Yeah. So I really liked him coming out of Washington. Now, some of the people that I knew in scouting in the NFL were like, he can't vary his throws. He doesn't have touch. And I see that.

But I do think that he has exceeded my expectations for being able to come in and the rest of the team just get a jump around him because they do have talent. And I feel like Pennix will, he will stand in there and deliver, which is respect on your team. And he will take some chances. is like he will throw it down the field. They've got some targets. So I think that they've gotten a bigger spark than anticipated just from having a viable quarterback, right?

Still concerned about like, if he has to throw it 30, 35 times a game instead of these games where he's going 15 of 20, I think the inaccuracy is going to come out. I think we're going to see that. His ability to make it through a whole year, he barely made it through the last game. All those concerns are still there, but I think he's given them like a shot in the arm

of showing that they were kind of at replacement level quarterback and now they're at, you know, he's a starter, or maybe he's a lower-end starter, but that's enough for them with their run game to really get a boost. Tyler Shuck in New Orleans. Disappointing their season to me, you know, and even, I realize he's young, even though he's old.

He's an older player, but he's young and his number of reps. But, you know, too many games where they have started out terrible, and then, yeah, you get a bunch of yards late, but is that really the same thing as if he played consistent ball throughout? I think they really miss, you know, they've had injuries at running back,

I think they miss a running threat. Just somebody who can do something dynamically with the ball in his hands. Their number one pick also, the receiver hasn't played. So I'm willing to give a little bit of more patience, maybe than the owner is there complaining like she did the other day. But I think on the whole it's been a, he hasn't taken off the way that maybe we would have thought. The last young quarterback I'm going to ask about is going to be Cam Ward and not just Cam,

but let's say the Titans end up being as terrible as they are, and they're going to end up as terrible. But let's just say hypothetically, they are terrible. year and they get the number one pick so one taught cam ward but two do they draft another quarterback or do they go and get a receive do they go to ohio state get a receiver well they just took a receiver you know i think you have to take a quarterback if if it's a clear upgrade and you've made your evaluation on the one that you have i feel like you can't uh you know you can't do this another year now that's it's still early for cam ward ideally you'd give him more time and maybe somewhere else he's

going to find his way. But if you feel like he's not the guy and you can get the guy, I think that position's too valuable to do it, to not do it. Who's the guy, though? This quarterback class looked so promising four weeks ago. And now, because of injuries, Oregon, because Arch isn't really what we thought Arch was going to be. And there are some guys that are actually, you know, making moves up and go to Oklahoma State, right? And you're starting to have some hope for him. But like, who's the guy, though, in this quarterback class? Yeah. You're right. And I don't have an answer to that because I don't follow it during the during, I don't follow college as much during the season. I kind of get up to speed at the combine when all the pro guys have kind

of seen them and so I don't have a great answer for that. I think that what you're raising is an interesting point though. What if you have a you know, a mid-quarterback who's, you know, okay, you can justify taking them that early or a superstar wide receiver, right? And then I think you've got, here's an example, Bo Nix versus Chimar Chase, right? I'm taking Chase. Yeah, me too. And also, you take another Ohio State wide receiver. It's the best receiver that I've ever seen in my life. Yeah. Even though that that'll be two in a row. But we really appreciate you. You guys follow at Sando NFL and I really enjoy reading your articles at The Athletic. And Mike, thank you so much and hope you have a great weekend and watch lots of football. Thanks, Mike. Thanks.

get your podcasts. All right. Now I'm going to present to you guys my power rankings of the top five NFL quarterbacks as of right now. At number five, Trevor Lawrence, it'd be real cool if that number one high school quarterback, number one draft pick would actually be good. Yeah. Yeah.

think he was put in a situation that wasn't conducive to winning, going to Jacksonville, period, and then having to play for Urban Meyer, and then having to play for Doug Peterson, not that he's bad, he did, win a Super Bowl, a lot of change. I'd like it if he was good. That'd be pretty cool. Yeah, and it's taken a long time, but you're like, okay, maybe he actually is pretty good. They're throwing the ball down the field, too. I do think he has multiple options to throw the ball too as well, which is nice.

Yeah. So Trevor Lawrence at number five. I just wonder, is he ever going to cut his hair? Ever. At some point, and I'm saying this because I've let mine grow to be funny, but at some point, when do you adult up? I was going to say the over or under I would have put him like two years in the NFL and we're what, you're six, five in?

And I'm like, he's still got it going. And it's like as straight as could be. Yes. It's like Joe Dirt, straight. Yeah. I do like him, though, and I'm happy to see him at number five. At number four, Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes had nine touchdown passes and two interceptions in the last four games.

They've only played four games. So they're a game behind everybody else. So he doesn't have to be great. He just has to be pretty good because they have a really good running game. And I bet for a guy like that, it's probably kind of hard to not have to go out and try to be great. Whenever they've depended on you to constantly break sacks, run, use your legs. I think it's probably pretty difficult for him not to even try to do that. But I have him at number four because the chance.

Chiefs are undefeated, and he's Patrick Mahomes. And number three, Jared Goff. Wow. 12 touchdown passes and zero interceptions. Well, that's interesting. I wouldn't have thought that just by looking at the lines. Exactly. They have no defense. They play with seven men on defense. If you counted, if you do the counts when they put the numbers up, they only put

seven guys. Yes. So it's just completely performance-based here. He is Josh Allen, the Lions. The only time they have a chance to win is when he is absolutely going eight crap and keeping them in the game. So I have him at three. Brock Purdy at two.

I know. Showing some love to Brock. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I like it. Finally. I can't hold him down. They're undefeated. Yeah.

It's weird. He doesn't look amazing, but gosh, he gets the job done. And sometimes, like, just effortlessly. I feel like him improvising starts to look pretty athletic and pretty cool. Yes. I agree. I think it's a baby face, guys. And also, it's the last pick.

Because people still holding that. Even though he signed a new deal, we should be off of that. And then also it's a little bit, is he a Shanahan system guy? Right. And everyone's going to say that. People are going to say that about Shannonhan. They're going to say about O'Connell. They're going to say that about McVeigh, except for the quarterback McVeigh has now,

which you can never say that he's a system quarterback. Yeah. But there are certain guys that are always going to have that attached to them. And you say that, though, but then when he, like the play goes bad and he has to improvise, like you said, he does a great job. But Shanhan showed him how to improvise. It's the Shanahan improvising method. Oh, he did.

Yeah, you didn't know that. A new wrinkle this year. And at number one, Josh Allen, because he takes over the game in so many different ways, deep throws, creating outside the pocket. You just have to always have somebody watching him at all times. Just in the last game, he rushed for 121 yards in the overtime win, and it all happened basically a second half in overtime. And so if Josh Allen wasn't on the bills, they would be terrible. If Brock Purdy wasn't on the 49ers, I don't know. I don't know.

I think they could still be pretty good. I don't want to take anything away from Purdy, but Josh Allen means all to the bills. So I have him at number one. So those are my power rankings. I heard you sigh, but I do have DAC at number 19. Oh, wow.

19. You jerk. Nah. That's good, man. Yeah, he's really good. Dude, Josh Allen, though, I can never realize how big he is until he's next to, like, Matt Stafford the other night.

When they go... Coin Talk? They go up to coin toss and it's like, gosh, he's humongous. Have you seen the picture of me with Brothers Osborne? Same thing. I'm a rather tallish guy. Yeah, you're not small. And those guys, they look like the Steiner brothers.

Yeah, they tower. They're huge, both of them. But they're always with each other so they don't look large because they're always standing with someone who's also large. But they're monsters. So, yeah, that's what's up. The big games, college real quick. Ohio State and Indiana.

Ohio State's a three and a half point favorite. It's at Indiana. Also, Indiana has a 20-game win streak. All those things are crazy. I know. That's insane. Florida, Texas. Texas is a 10-5 point favorite, Mike.

I like it. Double digits. 10 and a half, Mike. I'm surprised. Also, if I go double digits, what's that sound like? Double dribble. Yes, from Nintendo back in the day. That's right.

Love that good. Good catch. Mississippi State at LSU. Now, Mississippi State's ranked 16. LSU is ranked 22, but LSU is a 14 and a half point favorite. Crazy. Auburn at number one, Georgia. Georgia is a 20-point favorite.

Missouri at Ole Miss, Ole Miss, a touchdown favorite. Alabama at Tennessee, Alabama, eight and a half point favorite. Florida State of Miami, Miami big favorite, 21 points, and Notre Dame is a 10-point favorite over BYU. So there you go. Looking at the NFL schedule real quick, what do I love about it, what's going to be a fun game to watch?

I think this is going up Thursday, so I'll be quick on it. Seahawks and Broncos, that should be a fun game. Seahawks are really good. Broncos are pretty good. Yeah. We'll see what's up. Yeah. NFL, though, game inches.

Yeah. Any given Sunday. Thursday. Any given Thursday. Yeah. Any given Thursday. Let's see. I guess the Jaguar's just bought property in London, huh?

I think that's their home stadium now. Everyone has a place there. Yeah, they're there again. So what game looks the best? Texas of Jaguars, man. Jets at Patriots, May. Ravens at Browns. Kind of just if Lamar's there or not.

Even if he is there, he's going to be probably a little hobbled. Steelers at Bucks. cares. Titans and Colts. Nobody cares. Panthers and Eagles. I mean, Eagles are a favorite there. Could be. But I did just see Jalen Hertz is out. Okay. My line can't move on paper. Yeah. That'd be crazy if it did, though. If it changed on paper, that'd be crazy. With what a superficial blood clot?

Is that what they're saying? Yeah. What is a superficial blood clot? That blood clot probably wasn't being true to itself. So it's being superficial. Yeah. Shame on you, blood clot. Be yourself and just don't treat people bad. Wow. I don't know what that is.

I'm looking at these games. I guess so far we've got to sucky. What about the Bills and the Raiders? Saints at Giants, crappy. Cardinals at Rams, who cares? Chargers at Chiefs. Was interesting before the season started. Bills at Raiders,

kind of cowboys at Packers. Packers are a point and a half favorite. Yeah, stupid. Commanders at 49. I mean, these games suck. Yeah, they're all terrible. What the heck? Those guys all suck.

What's the game of the week? I would go Bill and Raiders. Oh, tonight. Can't do tonight. Can't do tonight? Because. Hmm. Yeah, man.

I liked your pick, Ken. Texans at Jaguars in London at 830. What was your pick? Kevin? Tonight. Oh, no. Oh, I thought somebody said Raiders. Yeah.

I think you've got to go bills and raiders. It might be Cowboys and Packers. For me. I quit match for that game. Yeah, for sure. They absorbed the other team. Remember wins, they take everybody on their roster for the rest of the year. Is it double up?

What's up? That's Sunday night. Didn't realize that. So you get to experience that. All the joy, all the pain. Yes, everyone's going to be watching. I'm excited. Don't be a hateer.

Because you're not a hater. You love the Cowboys. That's it, everybody. Thank you so much. Eddie, kickoff Kevin, Brana Ray, Mike D. I'm Bobby Bones. And blow that whistle, Mikey. We'll see you guys.
