Welcome to the show. This podcast brought to you by Draft Kings, like it always is. And I'll just say this. I hit my parlay again. I'm pretty happy about that. Amazing. I know. Presented by Draft King Sportsbook and official sports betting partner of the NFL.
Starting point is 00:02:08 Download the Draft Kings app and use the code Bobby Sports to get in on the action. You guys might be watching on Facebook right now. We turned it on. So pretty pumped about that, although we do it every day. And let's all whistle us in. Here we go. One, two, three. Eddie and I were talking before we came on. We have an NBA 2K league that we just started. And we decided to play the decade of the 90s.
Starting point is 00:02:28 Oh. Right, because you can do 80s. They go magic and bird era. Or you can do Jordan era. But our rule in our league is, because we have six teams in our league. Our rule is you can't pick the Bulls in Jordan because he's so much better. Yeah, Jordan and Pippin. Other than that, go get whoever you want.
Starting point is 00:02:44 I have the Utah Jazz. Love it. I like that. Yeah, because, you know, Malone's tough. And obviously Stockton, here's the thing, if three-point line would have been as desirable back then, Stockton would have been close to a curry. For sure.
Starting point is 00:02:58 You can't say a full curry because nobody's ever been curry. But he could shoot. It just wasn't as desirable back then. They played a different kind of ball. But Eddie picked the pistons. Now he's regretting it. I didn't do my research. I just thought in 90s, like you have Rodman,
Starting point is 00:03:11 you got Isaiah Thomas. Like, yeah, it's going to be good. But in 2K, there's overall ratings on these players. And if they're in the 90s, they're just dominant. And so once I picked the Pistons, Rodman wasn't really at his time. He's in the 80s, though. But he wasn't really- He's 30, I think, in the game. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:26 So that kind of threw me off a little bit. The Jazz, I totally would have won with the Jazz. I didn't realize Magic Johnson was still, you know, like, relevant in the Lakers. I mean, the Celtics were kind of stacked in the 90s, too, with Bird and- -older. Older, but still then. I think the Pistons were a good pick. I thought about getting them because, and here's what I don't think you looked at,
Starting point is 00:03:46 is that rodman's rating, his overall score isn't that high, but that's because he can't shoot, but you don't have Rodman to shoot, you have them to rebound and play defense, and his scores are so high there. Again, I'll take you off the pistons if you want. I mean, but I like the pistons a lot, but I'll take them off. Last year I had the Grizzlies, and I was pretty good. I was pretty good with the Memphis Grizzlies. Like, so, I mean, I can make the pistons work. But you shouldn't make them work. You should find a team you really alive. I'm good. We'll make it work. I almost took the pistons for the record instead I went with Utah.
Starting point is 00:04:15 But I think you have, I love Rob. I'll trade you. I'll take Rodman. But anyway, that's what we're talking about before we went on here. Obviously, we have a lot of football to talk about. I'll start with this real quick, is that the Arkansas games, I was tough. We got to 28, 23. We scored 28 unanswered. We scored 23 unanswered. And then the wheels kind of fell off in that.
Starting point is 00:04:34 They had a couple real long runs and the end. It was kind of like getting blown out twice. Yeah, it is not fun. But I'm addressing it. I'm done. Is that all we're talking about? I think so. We'll see what comes up.
Starting point is 00:04:46 I had to go for a walk. I don't ever go for walks. You know, can I ask one question? You can ask 10 questions, but I'm just saying that's all I had my mind to say was Alabama's real good. They lost their quarterback. Obviously, Bryce went down. But we still scored 23 on their defense. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:05:01 How long were you like happy? Were you like, oh, maybe we can do this actually. You never had a little. I'm a conditioned Arkansas fan. You expect everything to go bad. You hope it doesn't. You expect it to. And that's what happens when you have a team,
Starting point is 00:05:17 your whole life that I won't say it lets you down because we've had little brief glimpses but that doesn't ever win the big one that never really gets close to one and the big one that it's tough. I think in basketball we got a real shot soon and in football we're getting better but I think this year is going to be seen as possibly
Starting point is 00:05:34 a little more down than last year because we may not win nine games but I still think the team was a little better. It's just the environment of all our non-conference games are, I'm getting off Arkansas. BYU. Look at them. BYU. Cincinnati. We have to play Liberty.
Starting point is 00:05:49 And those are the games you should just crush. Right. Anyway, I'm off of it. It was a tough weekend. That third quarter, you weren't like, oh my gosh, we could win this game. Well, I'm watching it with a bunch of Oklahoma fans. We were in Utah, and we're watching it with a bunch of Oklahoma fans, and they had just gotten destroyed. It was never a game. And so that, and I, it's the only bet I missed of the week was the Oklahoma bet.
Starting point is 00:06:11 And I'll be honest with you, I told you, they don't cover often. And I bet them anyway, just so I could. root. And so I rooted hard and it wasn't pretty. It's a bad game. And so they're sitting with me. I'm calling shots and I'm like, here's what's going to happen. They're either going to break one off real long or chunk of deep one that's going to hit. Boom, one. Boom. Another. I've just seen enough of it to know.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Gosh, they make it look so easy. Yeah, because when you're at that third and 15 or 16 and it was like, and it was like, okay, and you guys are down five now and then he makes that long 70, what, five yard run, whatever it was. It's like, oh, no. It's terrible. I hate the life. But it's good. I'm happy that I get to care. That's pretty cool. because that's situation. I had a friend who lost his dog recently.
Starting point is 00:06:49 And he was very sad. And I'm not comparing. Yeah, I'm comparing the two because I feel about the same. And he was like, I don't know, dude, I had a dog named Dusty that was like my dog. Like all of my adult, like young adult to medium adult life. I had this dog for 12 years. Freaking love that dog. More than anything ever until I met my wife, honestly.
Starting point is 00:07:10 Like, I love that dog. Everywhere I had been, all the struggle, all the successes, that dog was right with me. and he got really sick with cancer. We had to put him down. We, me, I had to drive up and put him down. It was really hard. And he was like, how do you do this? And I said, well, it's not easy.
Starting point is 00:07:25 And there's no word I can tell you that's going to make it easy. I said, but there becomes a time whenever it starts to be fun to think about how cool it was to have the dog in your life and all the great memories you had together. So that's not right now. I'm just going to hurt to think about him. I said, but you know how lucky you were that you loved a dog that much, that you get to have that much pain that they died? Like, think about that. Think about all the awesomeness that that animal brought you. So as it sucks and it hurts,
Starting point is 00:07:50 if that dog died and you weren't sad, it's a whole lifetime of you not getting all of that. And he's like, Dad, you know, it's good perspective. That's how I feel about Arkansas. That's football right there. Yeah. If I wasn't sad they lost, I think of all the last couple years, we've won some games, baby.
Starting point is 00:08:07 We've won some more. Yeah. So it's tough. And it's very much the same, losing one game in the middle of the season to the number one team now is like losing your dog of years, years. I've often compared it
Starting point is 00:08:18 to having a cousin die that you only kind of knew. That's what I said on the Razorback podcast that I went on last week because we were all was doing a row now and they were like
Starting point is 00:08:27 what was like to lose the Texas A&M how'd you feel? And I said, well it's like losing a cousin that you only kind of knew. Like you're sad for a little bit
Starting point is 00:08:33 but you get over it I didn't know him that well everybody said he was cool and you're a little sad so yeah that's a situation so let me say this guys don't lose your whistles. Mike's tired of buying new whistles. And they cost how much each? Five bucks each. So I've had to keep funding the whistle.
Starting point is 00:08:52 Well, whoever loses it should buy their own. Now that's the deal. We have these black whistles that are the exact kind that we use. If you lose it, you pay double now. It's $10 a whistle. Because I've been paying, I probably put $100 in the whistle kitty. Dang, man. I'm tired of paying the whistle kitty. Whoever lost their whistle is should feel bad about themselves. Who has lost their whistle? I mean. I mean. Eddie forgot his whistle one. Okay. I was one time. Adam. I got, this is, this is my third whistle.
Starting point is 00:09:18 Okay, it's Adam we're talking about. But to be fair, I still have all three whistles. I still have all three whistles. This was a fire drill this morning. I had to get here super early. Didn't get to go back home to get my whistle. But you already lost another one though before that. Well, my wife took it out of my car because she didn't like it dangling.
Starting point is 00:09:30 Dang her. I keep it on my rear view mirror so I don't lose it because I lose stuff. And then she just like didn't like it. Well, that's the point. Don't lose stuff. Right? Ten bucks a whistle. Okay. One of a question.
Starting point is 00:09:42 How do you like your state? I'm gonna'est. How do you like your steak cooked, Eddie? Medium rare. Oh, I need my steak a little bloody, and that's when it's the best. If you ask any world-renowned chef, they tell you this is how you need to eat a steak. Yeah. I agree that fancy people say eat it.
Starting point is 00:09:58 I didn't grow up fancy. Are you well done? Oh my God. I'll come to mine. Oh my gosh. Kick off Kevin? Medium rare as well. I like that little pink in there and get a little chewiness to it.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Oh. Got that juice, man. Even more on the rare side. I'll even take a rare. You know the lamish joke is when you're eating dinner, and they're a little slow, and somebody goes, well, you've got to kill the cow. Yes, that's as bad as a dumb golf joke. That's the lamest joke.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Yeah, age your wife play, too. Also, you know what I say now? Why are you being sexist? That's not welcome 2020. I say that on the golf course. Nice putts, Sally. Yeah. Wait, what's long as Sally?
Starting point is 00:10:33 She might better putter than you are. Exactly. Hey, Mike, how you like your steak cooked? Vegan, I don't eat steak. He likes his steak cooked cauliflower. Yeah. cauliflower steak. I can say that
Starting point is 00:10:44 from having a minia meal with them. Wait, that's a real thing? Yeah. Really? It's actually not that bad. Why can't we just call it as cauliflower, not a steak? Well, why do they call it
Starting point is 00:10:53 like impossible meat? Why do they call chicken? Sometimes I've got on Uber Eats and I'm like, oh, this place looks good. And I'm like, and I get C-H-I-K-E-N-N. And I'm like, oh, they spell their chicken differently. But I'll take one of those, and then you get it,
Starting point is 00:11:06 and they spell it. Because they ain't chicken. It's not chicken at all. They just spell a difference. So it's, it's, it's, it's, tofu stuff. Adam, how do you like your steak cooked? I'm on the medium-rare spectrum, too, except I'm on the opposite side of Kevin.
Starting point is 00:11:19 I like my closer to medium than to rare, but I do like that nice, nice good pink. Depending on how fancy the place is, if it's real fancy, I will say medium well. Okay. Because there's medium, which is above you guys by one, but I'll take medium well at a pretty fancy place, and they look down on me on that.
Starting point is 00:11:39 and I will go, can I get some, A1? Oh, no. I ask for A1 everywhere. Now the fancy of the place, like if work is taking me somewhere, or if it could be any work, just work or whatever.
Starting point is 00:11:52 If we're at a place and it's super fancy and they're paying for it, I will ask under my breath. If I'm paying for it, you got the A1? Yeah, and you know what? And if it's a place that's not as fancy and I'm paying for it,
Starting point is 00:12:05 I'll ask for, well, I'll take it well done, please burn it. Come on. Oh my gosh, that's crazy. Like, I wanted to be on fire when you bring it to me. I want a steak flambay. Oh, you're crazy. And so why I think that is, I'll be honest.
Starting point is 00:12:19 I think as a kid, if we ever ate steak, it was really bad meat. And all meats equal once it's burnt. That's what my brother thought. And so all meat is also equal with A1. I love A1. It's my favorite. No steak. I don't care how good the meat is.
Starting point is 00:12:32 I don't, and don't hit me with the, man, this is a good meat's meat. You don't even eat at all. You're marinating it and crap. and putting salt and pepper on it. You're putting crap on it too. You're just doing it pre, not post. So, STFU, man. Wow, okay. You're fighting with the cook. Fighting with every single person that has messaged me about this.
Starting point is 00:12:49 All the chefs out there. Also, I didn't say the F word on last week's show. Yeah, you did not. I said freaking, but somebody else was laughing in the background. I made a sound that sound like it, or it did. And I said, go listen to the clip. But when I listen to it did sound like it. But it also, there were like four people.
Starting point is 00:13:03 You could hear other things. And it did kind of sound like it, but there's no chance. I don't even think it. but you stop all the messages. Kevin texted me and said, hey man, I'm dealing with these like, you know,
Starting point is 00:13:14 messages. Did Bobby say the F word of the show? I go, absolutely not. And he said, did you hear it? I'm like, no,
Starting point is 00:13:19 I don't need to go back and listen to this. It does sound like it, though. You want to hear it? It does. Yeah, we can hear it.
Starting point is 00:13:23 And it does sound like it because it's the perfect storm of, go ahead. That Carla Murray was playing out out of his fucking brain, though. But you see that, there's a,
Starting point is 00:13:31 there's a, there's a, there's a, yeah. Dude, That's amazing. I know. It's the perfect store.
Starting point is 00:13:36 I know you didn't say it, but that sounds cool. And that's the only reason that I know. That's the only reason it's not it because I know I didn't say it, but I would bet money that I did. We would have freaked out if you would have actually said it. The whole real would have lit up. Everybody, it had been like when they find out that they're not the dad on. Mori.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Or they're jumping around. That's what would have happened on this show. Oh! I don't think you would have burned an F-bomb on Carla Murray, though. Yeah, no. That's not it. Not worth it. I was watching, I forget who it was now,
Starting point is 00:14:07 breaking down Kyler Murray on TikTok. It was the coach from, what's the show on Netflix, where they cover the college team. Coach you? I mean, yes, last chance. And it's the school in Kansas
Starting point is 00:14:18 with the bald dude, the coach of the spot. Crazy one? Yes. He's breaking down Kyler Murray. Which, by the way, you know, he, on Last Chance,
Starting point is 00:14:26 you, all those episodes, all those seasons are great, by the way. You guys watched Last Chance You? No. Eddie, you fall in love with it. I know. I bet I would. I didn't watch it.
Starting point is 00:14:34 either for a long time. I was like, who cares? But then I started watching it, and it was one of those where I go, where have I been and why have I not watched this? It's so good. And so, in one,
Starting point is 00:14:43 and two of the seasons, they go to Kansas, and it is, think of the name of that school. Independence. Is that what it is? In the Pitch community college? Yep.
Starting point is 00:14:52 The coach there, you'll love him, and you'll hate him, and you'll go, what's happening? He's an idiot, and he's so smart. At the same time,
Starting point is 00:14:58 but now he was reviewing Cala Murray, and he's like, we're paying this guy, you know, $20 million bucks, and he's breaking down the blitz and he goes, look, da-da-da-da-da.
Starting point is 00:15:05 And you're like, oh, he really is smart. Netflix just kind of kept some of that out so they could build that, you know, his character a little bit. But, yeah, I think Kyler Murray doesn't know what he's doing. I agree. I think he's a great athlete. You can really throw. Either he plays too many video games and doesn't focus,
Starting point is 00:15:20 which is why they put on the contract, or he just isn't that bright. Yeah. Guys, that's bizarre at that level. And, you know, this is your, what, third year? Like, you should get it together at some point. Can I just, by the way, agree. but I'll say I know people in the media world
Starting point is 00:15:34 we get paid a lot of money they don't do crap. They got to the point and they're like, I'm good, I got a deal. I'm gonna let everybody else do it and you would go, wait, you're there now. Why are you not working through? My mind is, you made it. Why are you not working three times as hard
Starting point is 00:15:48 to be one, to prove to people that you're worth it? Two, to make sure you get another one and three to be the greatest. Like every morning I wake up, I'm like, I might go in today and do some bad segments. But I'm gonna go in and try some crap that's either going to be,
Starting point is 00:16:02 be awesome. You know what? If I swing and miss occasionally, that's okay, because I'm trying to do next level stuff. And it doesn't always work. But everybody doesn't think the same. But watching him break down Kyler Murray and knowing what we know about the contract,
Starting point is 00:16:15 and somebody leaked that. They didn't just, they don't print the contract and put the PDF up on Twitter. Yeah, you've never seen that. Somebody leaked that. On purpose. Yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:16:25 You're talking about the mandatory film watching? Yeah, if I'm the Cardinals, man. Every play looks like it's a backyard football. Like he's in high school. Like, dude, this is the NFL. Like, you have to have to... I mean, some plays, of course, but it's like, this is the NFL, not high school. But you know what's cool?
Starting point is 00:16:39 Is that he still makes it work a lot of times? Like, he's that good. Well, it's fun to watch from a viewer's perspective. But Cliff's about to get fired. Kingsbury's about to get fired, probably. And then a coach is going to come in and have Kyler... Yeah, what's he going to do? Nothing.
Starting point is 00:16:53 You can't. You go him too much money. Yeah. And when that's the thing, at that point, don't you don't... As a general manager or, like, the office, don't they think that? Don't they realize like, hey, man, maybe this is just a Kyler problem? Because Coach Cliff was like, what? He was hailed for a long time.
Starting point is 00:17:08 Like, oh, dude, he's so great. He's awesome. I won at Tech, but he only won at Tech like a bit. Yeah. I mean, he's not, he didn't come from, he had, um, Holmes. Right? I mean. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:19 Yeah. But again, you don't look at him. He didn't win national championships. I don't think he won the Big 12. No. Maybe it was just that he was a young coach, but now they're all young, right? I think he's a brilliant offense of mine. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:30 That's it. His, his, his, his, his office. offensive schemes are pretty next level. But again, if they're so next level, win the Big 12. Right. All to be said is that Kyla Murray is an awesome athlete. But man, just watching
Starting point is 00:17:45 these... I'm putting it all on TikTok now. Watching these TikToks? Multiple people are doing it. They're going, why is it Kyler seeing this? Why is it Kyle are seeing this? You're paying him all this money, but the last one I saw was the coach from Last Chance of You. Okay, let's do the tittle-taddle. Hit it. It's time for
Starting point is 00:18:00 the stupidest name ever. the tittle-tattle with kick. Question one, Kevin. Bobby, did Ole Miss win that game or did Kentucky lose it? Ole Miss won the game. Yes. Ole Miss won the game. Ole Miss would have also had a minute to go back and score again.
Starting point is 00:18:18 I said that Kentucky would lose the game, but I also knew they would cover. That's why I said take the money line. So I figured they would lose by three or four points. And I said Kentucky hadn't played anybody, and it showed when they continued to fumble the ball. They kept doing dumb guy things. things you probably don't do if you play bigger games and you're built.
Starting point is 00:18:38 Kentucky hasn't played anybody. You could say whatever you wanted to say, but Kentucky lost the game. Multiple times, as a matter of fact. And had they not fumbled, Ole Miss had enough time to go back down again and score had they needed to,
Starting point is 00:18:52 with timeouts, I believe. So all the Kentucky haters, no, all the Kentucky lovers were hating on me because I said, Kentucky will lose the game. They'll cover it, but they'll lose the game. That's exactly what happens. I'm standing by it,
Starting point is 00:19:05 even if everybody disagrees with me. I'll miss won the game. That's it, the end. Kevin, I see you got a whistle on your mouth. I do. Go ahead. You blow it. I think Kentucky lost it.
Starting point is 00:19:15 Well, first of all, I'll say, I don't think either of these teams are that great. I'll agree with that. Maybe they didn't play that great on this day, but I don't think either of the scenes were anything special. But you have the two missed extra points, miss field goal,
Starting point is 00:19:26 two turnovers in the final couple of minutes. That's a bad team. That's a bad team. You can say they lost it. That's a bad team. But that's also losing the game. But that's a bad team. That's a bad team.
Starting point is 00:19:36 So, okay, are those two different things? Kentucky lost the game because they're a bad team. Okay, I'm not saying they're not a bad team. I'm just saying they lost the game. Ole Miss didn't win it. Ole Miss gave them every opportunity to win it, and they lost it. Ole Miss won the game. That's like Arkansas and Texas A&A on the week before.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Am I going to sit here and cry? I did a little, but I moved off of it. And mostly I based this on that. Did Kentucky give up? Did Arkansas give up the game? Yeah. but really I can't do that. I have to say Texas A&M won the game
Starting point is 00:20:04 because they took advantage of the breaks that they got and they then made decisions based on the breaks that had already happened in that game. I'm with you. I'm not like hypotheticals aren't my thing. You know, if you win the game, you win the game. But Kentucky did everything they could. They choked. I will agree.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Kentucky choked. But that's what bad teams do. They choke. Kentucky choked, but they also did the same thing they'd been doing all year long. They were giving up 16 sacks going into this game. They still, they could not keep Will Levis on a spot. Could not let Will Levis get the ball down
Starting point is 00:20:31 to feel like he wanted to. I just don't think Kentucky's that good. I don't know. And I bet my whole career on it last week. I said it over and over again. They're going to lose, but they're going to cover. Thank God they lost it,
Starting point is 00:20:40 didn't. Oh, my God. I was low, I was low worried. Yeah, I was putting up pretty tight. I like Kentucky. Football.
Starting point is 00:20:47 I think Stubs are doing a great job over there. I just have watched everybody build them up, and then they shot up to number seven and played nobody. It was cool when they beat Florida, we're like, wow, okay, maybe they are for, oh, never mind, Florida sucks.
Starting point is 00:21:00 That's what happened. That's just me being upset at the system for putting Kentucky at 7. If Kentucky was at 17, I don't think I'd have been like, Kentucky's the worst 17 ever. Fair enough. Yeah. So, next question. How many games can Alabama afford to play without Bryce Young to stay in title contention?
Starting point is 00:21:15 Well, I thought for a minute when he went out of the game, he's going to be out for a few weeks. I think they're standing shoulder sprained and it's happened to him before. I'm not sure what they're going to do next week. They play Mississippi State. I think it probably, depending on their schedule, a couple. Listen, the quarterback that hopped in after him. He's awesome. Yeah, I mean.
Starting point is 00:21:31 It looks like a lineback. Yeah. Can run the ball like crazy. Obviously, that was a, when the Arkansas environment was strong, and that rattled, he went in, and they were up 28-0.
Starting point is 00:21:44 Or 28-0. Whatever the case is, it turned on him. And he had to go like, oh, my God, now we got people, they can't hear, a second-string quarterback. You know,
Starting point is 00:21:52 there's no communication with the line. That's the things you practice when you're getting second-team reps. I think if he plays, he'll be much better in Mississippi State. I think the scheme will be there. I think they're going, They're going to...
Starting point is 00:22:03 Who are they playing next? Tennessee is next week. Yeah, and then we play Mississippi State. Then I think they play Mississippi State. Oh, yeah, they play A&M this weekend. Yeah, that's it. A&M, we switched. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:13 Us and Mississippi State switched. We played A&M, they played Alabama, then we switched. It's like swingers. We just trade partners. Oh, good. There you go. Must be fun, guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:23 I think they're going to be fine. They're going to crush. They'll be fine. They can win a couple games. They'll be fine until Bryce comes back if he even misses a game. He kept his pads on and stayed out there, too. He wanted it.
Starting point is 00:22:33 He would put his helmet on every time and, like, no, you're not playing, dude. He ran back into the medical tent, then the locker room fast, and his parents ran down, and then he never, you know, got undressed. And I was like, dang, is he coming back in at any point? And I think that was, that concern was there with everybody, but then it didn't matter. All right, what else? Kansas is 5'0 and ranked for the first time since 2009. Do you think they have a legit shot at winning the Big 12?
Starting point is 00:22:57 I don't. I hope they do. but I don't think they have the horses. You know who's good? Kansas State. Kansas State, yes. You know, they got a quarterback, they got a running back,
Starting point is 00:23:09 they got a pretty good offensive line. I don't even think Kansas State's going to win the Big 12. I still think that Big 12 is opening. Yeah, I was going to see. It's open. I still think that Oklahoma will right the ship a bit and be in the mix. Oklahoma State's good.
Starting point is 00:23:23 TCU? Yeah. I mean, think about Sunny Dykes. Yeah. Leaves SMU, goes to TCU. That's controversial. People are like, is that even a, is that a lateral move? They played them last week, right, or the week before.
Starting point is 00:23:35 That was the whole game where he had to play his old school. And they come out, T.C. look good. They look real good. There's a lot of teams in the Big 12 that are pretty good that could win that company. BYU, or excuse me, Baylor lost. But to Oklahoma State, where I think, though, that Baylor is, they're all in the mix there. So I don't think Kansas is going, but it's fun. It is fun.
Starting point is 00:23:56 And game day is going to Lawrence for the first time ever this week. So that's pretty exciting. deciding if you're a Kansas fan. Add two letters. Arkansas. We'd be five and no if you had two letters. Arkansas. I'm looking for any way now to celebrate.
Starting point is 00:24:09 At two letters, we're also five and no, buddies. All right, next up. Going to the NFL, do you think the Ravens made the right decision going forward on fourth down late in the fourth quarter there? That's weird. I don't know. I was watching, I was like, you can go here. He threw the interception and kind of the back right, right-ish to the end zone, right,
Starting point is 00:24:26 right cornerish. I don't know, but Lamar's legit. You always want to give your superstar chances to do. be superstars and it's easy to second guess that and if they score that touchdown they probably win that game like they're they were putting I think I'd probably kick the field goal because when they were doing it I was like I'd probably
Starting point is 00:24:40 kick a field goal here however look at the other side exactly this is the old you give Tom Brady the ball situation but without Tom Brady maybe with the new Tom Brady so I probably would kick the field goal it's also like genius if it works absolutely idiot if it doesn't you know and it's like we won't know unless he try
Starting point is 00:24:59 I think where do you guys fall on this because no whistle needed here. I probably would have kicked a field goal and I only say that because I thought that right as it was happening. Eddie? I'm an insurance guy. I'd go like just, you know, field goal, get the points and then trust your defense. But then again, like, I like it when teams go forward. I think it's exciting. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:25:15 I'm right there with you. I think field goal, especially in that weather, it was bad weather. So the bills, they weren't really doing much until the second half. But at the same time, you have maybe the best player on the planet right now. I don't really know if I like to play call, though. You know, he just dropped back, get him out in the run, get something with him. So I would have liked to field goal, but
Starting point is 00:25:31 I don't hate them going for it. I think if Lamar scored that touchdown, it's going to be hard to knock him from the MVP race. He has a couple real bad weeks. Adam? I agree with you, Eddie. I tend to be an insurance guy, but I like the ball in Lamar's hands.
Starting point is 00:25:48 And also you got Josh out on the other sideline. The field goal's a very good chance of field goal is not going to get it done. So putting his hands, putting his hands, giving a chance to win the game. I'm not an insurance guy, though, is the thing. I'm like, if we feel good about it, we've played well. Analytics say go, let's just go.
Starting point is 00:26:03 We got the arguably top five quarterback. Let's go. But I would have kicked the field goal then. Yeah. Because again, yeah, Buffalo was moving the ball in the second half.
Starting point is 00:26:14 For sure. Oh, they were on a roll. But that defense has been playing pretty well. I think they could, but again, they did. If you're on the road, I think it's better to go for it.
Starting point is 00:26:26 I agree. I agree. You know, they're at home, but yeah. All right, next up. All right, After beating the Browns on Sunday and getting two and two are the Falcons the hardest team to read.
Starting point is 00:26:35 Falcons. I got roasted for saying I like Marcus Marriota. Why? Because even from like, there's like a small contingent of sports people that follow me on Twitter now, which I don't know. I'm not begging for it. I'm not trying to be in that crowd. But they're like, don't you understand?
Starting point is 00:26:48 Mariotta sucks. And I'm like, from what you've seen with the Titans, who doesn't, in Vegas, he came in for a couple packages. but I like me. Those little, they're scrappy in Atlanta. There's something going on in Atlanta, I'm telling you, man. They're scrappy. I wonder if their management's going like,
Starting point is 00:27:08 bro, we hired you to lose. It's like Major League. Yeah, it's like, what are we doing here? And in the room, every time they win, they take an article of clothing. The bikini.
Starting point is 00:27:19 They take it off of Belichick. All right, boys. That's funny, all right. For those that haven't seen Major League. Watch it. That's a good one to that. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:27:27 I like Atlanta. I bet on Atlanta. They're scrappy. I like to see them win. I don't know what they're up to. I think we still know who they are. They're probably a seven-win team. But let's go.
Starting point is 00:27:39 We're rooting for the underdogs. As long as they can get Marriota, as long as he has some time, he can do okay. If he has no time, he's going to do terrible. And if he has some time, he may do bad. But he can do, he has a shot to be okay if they give him a little bit of time.
Starting point is 00:27:56 And they've got to get pits the ball. I mean, Pitts is the definitive playmaker on that offense. And there for a while, Pitts was not getting the ball at all. But if they can get Pitts five, six, seven touches, not just targets, I feel like they do better offensively. But what the heck do I know? I always love people on message boards that are like, I mean, if they would play. I'm like, I'm not in practice every day.
Starting point is 00:28:17 Right. I just am watching the games thinking I know stuff. All right, what else? Cooper Rush is now 4-0 in his career as a starter for Dallas. My hero. It's my hero. I got a Cooper Rush tattoo on my stomach. Are they a better team? with Cooper Rush under center.
Starting point is 00:28:30 I already bought the jersey. A better team. Eddie's a big cowboy fan, so Eddie, I'll let you do this one. Cooper Rush, better team? You know, I don't know. It's hard to see because he's getting a lot of protection. I mean, we only saw Dak play one game. Of course, he stunk it.
Starting point is 00:28:44 His accuracy was off. But he was also being pressured a lot. Cooper has time to throw the ball. And when he doesn't, he gets sacked. But is that his fault either way? I mean, you can only do what you can do, good or bad. Correct. Like, I don't think you should take away from the fact that he's able to throw for 225, 275,
Starting point is 00:29:06 because he has good an offensive line. You're punishing him because he has a good offensive line. No, I think the big question here, everyone keeps asking, he's like, oh, man, is this your quarterback? Like, what do we do with Dak? And it's like, guys, relax. Like, Dak is a top five, six quarterback in my mind in the NFL. He's not, though. In my mind, in the NFL.
Starting point is 00:29:22 And so I feel like, you know, Cooper's getting the job done. This is all we wanted him to do. I'm so happy and excited. All you wanted him to do was win every game. I mean, really, you know, I thought we'd win maybe two out of the three. Oh, I didn't. I thought hopefully one and three. Like I said when Dak went out, if they go 500 with him, it's the greatest thing that can happen.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Right. Well, I came in thinking that the defense was going to carry the team, and they have. They played well? The defense has been, you know, playing awesome. And so Cooper Rush, I mean, it's awesome, it's great, but let's chill with the, is Cooper Rush, the better quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. But not better quarterback. The better team.
Starting point is 00:29:55 Does he make the team better, is what I said? He's definitely not better. We all know that. How does he make the team better because he plays differently than that? But do we know that really? We don't know that. Just because he's not doing super dynamic things occasionally like Dak does?
Starting point is 00:30:09 I mean, do we really know he's not? Are you saying that he might be better? I'm just saying. Yeah, what are you saying, bro? You said we know he's not the better quarterback. Okay. can be lower with Dax. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:30:30 But the ceiling is way higher. And that's the difference, and that's why you put your hopes, you put your hopes in that arm and those legs and give them the chance to go make plays. But, yeah, they're not making mistakes. Maybe Dach's doing too much. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:30:43 Maybe. What if, when your star quarterback goes down, the team says, hey, guys, come on, like, we've got to step it up. This is our chance. We have to do this for deck. Okay, you think they're having a mighty ducks meeting in the locker room. Absolutely. Guys, let's do this for Ducks.
Starting point is 00:30:55 The Ducks fly together. Imagine how. weird it feels for Dack, though. Like... Yes, because he always plays like, oh, yeah, I support Cooper as my dude. But really, is he Drew Bledso in here? Like...
Starting point is 00:31:05 And the irony of how Dack replaced Romo. Because Romo gets hurt, Dach plays. Well, Dax's our guy. Dack gets hurt. Circle of life. Nobody's calling for Cooper Rush. Nobody legitimate is calling for Cooper Rush
Starting point is 00:31:22 to be the future of the Dallas Cowboys. But it is a fun conversation because Cooper Rush is 4-0. Yeah. 3-0 this season. It's amazing. Amazing. You can say the defense.
Starting point is 00:31:32 You can say the offensive line. By the way, an offensive line that is not the complete offensive line. They're not. Jason Peters, like when you're bringing people in and they're still, I don't know what's happening in Dallas, but I wouldn't mess with it. You wouldn't? So, so DAC is healthy 100%. But it's not. I'm talking about this week.
Starting point is 00:31:50 I get it. I get it. Is they're saying DAC could come back and play this week? Why in the world would you rush them back at all? I agree with. that. You can lose one more game and be okay. I would wait until the Cowboys lose a game.
Starting point is 00:32:02 Yeah. Before I would... Because also, think about the pressure Dak's going to be under. If he comes back and Cooper's never lost a game and Dak comes in and loses the first game. You want to talk about it's weird right now? Wait until that happens. Even if it's unfair, even if it does... Even if we all know, there's a reason
Starting point is 00:32:19 that he gets paid a lot of money. And Dak's a better quarterback. And Dak's a better athlete. But if Cooperash never loses and Dak comes in and drops one or two in a you don't think the Dallas talk radio stations you don't think ESPN Ed Warder you don't think it's just going to be
Starting point is 00:32:34 nonstop what's happening 100%. And that is a cancer in the organization even they're feeling it from outside I'm big Cooper Rush guy though only because I normally wouldn't give a crap but I told you I bought the Cowboys
Starting point is 00:32:47 and they're costing me money and now they're winning and they're making me money let's go but their schedule does get tougher They got the Rams next week Yeah they got a couple Put deck back in Jerry Jones tries to sabotage dad
Starting point is 00:33:00 Put him in against the real good teams hurt See, he told you guys Anything else Kevin That's all Okay Okay, I'm gonna call Okay, a couple things One of my friends
Starting point is 00:33:17 He said he just tested positive for COVID And he'll be playing a lot of game now On PlayStation My other friend just texted and said it Because we play the NBA game I'm gonna call him on the phone And he said we can't play an HD Well if you play in the 90s
Starting point is 00:33:29 Oh, it's it shows it almost like you're watching a 90s television. You can that off? Oh, can you? Yeah. Because it is annoying. Everyone's blurry. I'll call them.
Starting point is 00:33:39 What? It is cool. It's cool. Yeah, yeah. When you're trying to play, it's not cool, guys. Like the players didn't see it in that color when they were playing the game. Yeah. He's not going to answer.
Starting point is 00:33:52 Cody, hey, you're on the podcast right now, okay? So just know you're being recorded. Okay. Hey, you can turn off that camera that shows it in 90s. Just go to your settings. Yeah, I have the... I've changed it to the 2K one. No, no, no, that's the, that's the
Starting point is 00:34:08 angle of the camera. Go and turn off in the settings. I think it's called like old school mode or retro setting, whatever that is. Oh, he's gonna do this now? You don't have to it right now. He's like, okay. But I turned it off too. It looks grainy until you turn it off. So you have your... Oh, air screen effects.
Starting point is 00:34:27 That's probably what it is. Now it's fixed. So this is random kid, Cody. Cody and myself. Eddie's in our basketball league, but we play Madden 2. and Madden's all screwed up because the hurricane, then screwed up for two weeks. We can't get past the draft. What are the servers out of Florida?
Starting point is 00:34:41 Yeah. Oh. Do you play anything, Kevin? No. No. No. Losers. All right.
Starting point is 00:34:47 Cody, what do you think about the Cowboys, buddy? They suck. Okay. They're lucky? Yeah. I mean, they play a week schedule right now. Who can't beat the commanders?
Starting point is 00:35:01 I don't agree with that. They beat the Giants, though, at home. They beat the Giants who are now three and one. Right? Didn't the Giants? Yeah. Who of the Giants played either Justin Field's
Starting point is 00:35:09 worst quarterback in the league. Tell him, Cody. All right, hang up on them. And the Bengals, man. Come on. Hey, they did beat the Bengals. That's true. They did beat the Bengals.
Starting point is 00:35:17 Right. Who did the Cowboys have next? No, he knows. The Rams. Rams and Eagles. Yeah, yeah. Rams and Eagles. That's, so they owe and two.
Starting point is 00:35:25 Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, and two. Easy. If Cooper. Whatever Eddie wants to bet on it, I'll take him. If Cooper Rush happens to beat the Rams next week,
Starting point is 00:35:34 should he beat the Rams next week? quarterback? No. What if Cooper Rush beats the Rams and the Eagles? Maybe he needs to be the starting. Maybe. We'll start thinking about it. And Cody, who's your team? My fantasy football team. I mean, I root for the Eagles because I hate the Cowboys. So you have a favorite team only because of the team you hate the most? It's terrible. Wow. Yeah. I grew up in Texas. It's kind of how I'm with the Titans now. I can't, like it's always their year. Like, I can't stand it. That's every fan base, guys.
Starting point is 00:36:09 Cody sounds like just sad as a person. He finds joy in others' pain. It's because he works overnight. That's exactly what it is. All right, good luck with basketball. I'm glad you're playing games, though. All right, I'm getting wolfed right now. Yeah, classic.
Starting point is 00:36:22 All right, buddy, see you later. Bye. It's his bad work schedule. This one is always moody. All right. Tittle-tattle's done. Let me mention this. On games this season, I'm 19 and 2.
Starting point is 00:36:34 you've already mentioned that but we can do it again well this is the commercial no this is the commercial okay you say it every five minutes we talk about the parlayes and they say hey bring up here so I'm 19 and two on games picked this season what I did hit this week was the parlay I told you Ole Miss Money Line
Starting point is 00:36:48 Mississippi State Money Line and UTSA Money Line and all hit and it was great I felt pretty good about it was love and life everything's great I told you suggested to you that Michigan would cover and they did the one I miss was Oklahoma I believe and they got throttled and I've said
Starting point is 00:37:04 before I don't like betting on Oklahoma because they never cover. But they were just throttled. And I'm rooting for Oklahoma. It's just because my wife's happy. Family. Yeah. I'm rooting for Oklahoma.
Starting point is 00:37:13 So, but we're 19 to 2 in games picked, and, you know, hopefully you hop on. Anybody bet the parley with me? I bet the parley with you except for the UTSA game because I didn't realize it was a Friday night game. So I hit the other two. I was going to ride with you. I just didn't get in on time on that.
Starting point is 00:37:28 But we did the podcast on Thursday afternoon. Thursday? Was it Thursday night? Yeah. I don't know. I got after it too late after the game started. Mike, did you... Oh, Mike couldn't.
Starting point is 00:37:37 I'm locked out of Mike. Yeah. What kind of illegal activity is when I'm with Mike? Mike's like sharing Bitcoin. I don't know what he's doing over there. What's going on? I think they had... I think I have two accounts.
Starting point is 00:37:46 Oh. Classic Mike. Illegal trading. Mike. You didn't bet it, Cameron? I did not. Why do you? Why do you never?
Starting point is 00:37:52 You never do? No, this one, though, I honestly did forget about the morning games, but it's also the money line. I don't bet enough to like the money line pays out well enough for me. But you do if those three are together, that was the point of it. Yeah. That's the point of the parley. I paid three to one. But if I would have bet,
Starting point is 00:38:05 like, five bucks, then, yeah. That's why I didn't do it, Bones. I put a dollar on it. I win three dollars. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:38:10 it's okay. Yeah, I don't want to lose my dollar. Okay, we did the math. If you would have bet 20 bucks on every bet, not let it compound, because I would never do that. Where you take your winnings and bet it again.
Starting point is 00:38:22 Yes, yes. But 20 bucks on it all, if you just started with 20 bucks and you bet it all, you would have $1,090. That's where you'd be right now. $1,000. Reed, did you bet it? Read retired.
Starting point is 00:38:34 Smart. He's smart. He's smart. He's smart. I like that. I like that, Reed. Good job. So anyway, if you don't have

Starting point is 00:39:16 I'm about... Let's go. If our quarterback's playing, which he loved the game because of some sort of head injury, I'm about to bet the farm on it. I don't even own a farm. I'm betting on a farm. We're going to buy one with a more smiles and frown.
Starting point is 00:39:29 That's right. More smiles and frowns. All the way, more smiles and frowns. Okay, so why don't we do? What do we learn from week four? Or week five, depending on what you're looking at here, because college is one week ahead. But you can go NFL if you like.
Starting point is 00:39:42 What did you learn from this week, Eddie? I'm going NFL, of course, and I've learned that the bucks are 0-2 at home, which my theory is correct. Tom Brady at home is miserable. The personal life is way worse because he can't win a game when he's home. What happens?
Starting point is 00:39:56 He fights with his wife, drives to work, loses. But when he's on the road, he's got three days away from the family. He's clear, level-headed, and he's winning games. So my theory is correct. You can't say your theory is correct. It leads you to believe your theory is more accurate,
Starting point is 00:40:12 but you can't just go my theory's correct. Hey, if they lose one more at home, I mean, guys, I'm a genius. Kevin. I learned that Mike Tomlin is going to have his first losing season as a head coach. Maybe. They are so bad. Maybe, yeah. And to lose to the jets like that, it's not good.
Starting point is 00:40:27 Not a good look. How did you feel about the Jets, for example? Zach Wilson, he ran one in. He caught a touchdown pass. Yeah, yeah. His first touchdown back. You know, kudos to him for leading that charge at the end and the second half.
Starting point is 00:40:41 I mean, he had the game-winning drive. Bryce all almost fumble. I mean, Bryce, yeah. Yeah, Brise all scored at the end of the game and won the game for them, but it was right. I mean, it was close. Yeah, yeah. So, I mean, kudos to them for coming back
Starting point is 00:40:53 and winning that game, but I don't think either team is anything great at all. Adam? I don't know anything about college football. That's what I learned this weekend. Georgia coming out flat two weeks in a row. That blew my mind. Mizzou, even just like having the stones to show up to that game.
Starting point is 00:41:09 I mean, like nobody was giving them a chance. The Big 12 being wide open, I didn't see any of that coming. I also didn't, I said earlier, it felt like Arkansas got blown out twice because they got blown out in the beginning and they came back and they gave up those big runs at the end. It was just like an emotional roller coaster in college football this weekend. I enjoyed it, but I don't know anything about college. football. I think this week's
Starting point is 00:41:30 solidified Patrick Mahomes is like here to stay and play. Like I think he saw the Brady game as all right. I've been playing out of my mind. And they also lost last weekend. You know, it gets Colts. But it was never a game. I mean, he was, they start with Kelsey touchdown immediately. I mean, Mahomes is he,
Starting point is 00:41:49 Mahomes is going hard all season. Everybody that said Mahomes sucks. Mahomes isn't the quarterback we thought he was in the offseason. That was that, you know, that was the narrative a lot of folks had. couldn't be more wrong. I still feel like the chiefs are going to win the whole thing, more than Buffalo. I think it'll go down to it.
Starting point is 00:42:04 But that's going to be forever. That's the next five to seven years. Oh, yeah. Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, that's it. That's it. Too bad it's not in the Super Bowl. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:12 But still, pretty cool that, hopefully, it's, you know, the AFC championship right before the Super Bowl. That being said, though, I still like Lamar is my MVP. So I still feel pretty good about where I started. Anybody changing their teams?
Starting point is 00:42:25 No. In any way whatsoever? Mm-mm. Okay. All right, good. Still have the bills. Still have the bills. We're going to talk fantasy in just a second.
Starting point is 00:42:32 We'll get a guy on here in a minute. But let's do first. Let's go over to Adam and do Adam Statt. Adam Stats. Adam has all your stats for you, Adam. What's got, Adam? Wow, I don't want to pile on Matt Ruhle here because he's just having a rough go with things. But this courtesy of the athletic this morning, Matt Ruhle is one in 26 in games where opponents score 17 points or more.
Starting point is 00:42:58 Yeah, one in 26 for any, any thing. That is a really bad offensive stat because 17 points is not a lot of points. If you can't be scoring more than 17 points consistently, that's trouble in paradise, man. Well, here's a stat from earlier this season of this show. I said, well, I'm going to put a little money on Carolina to make the playoffs. Uh-oh. That stat ain't looking too good. You're making it back with the Cowboys bet, though.
Starting point is 00:43:21 You might be breaking even a little bit. Way more with Cowboys, honestly. So, all right, that's Adam Stats. Hit it, Mike. Uh, Adam stats That's an Adam stats He's got those stats For you
Starting point is 00:43:34 Titans won Yeah Pretty good Talk about a team You just don't know Who they are Like I'm done betting the Titans I don't know if they're gonna win or lose
Starting point is 00:43:47 Raiders won First win They needed that They did need that And it got a little itchy Toward the end And they scored touchdown At the very end
Starting point is 00:43:55 To kind of put it away Giants won Yeah Pretty crazy Is that the worst 3-1 team of all time? I don't know I mean, is it the worst,
Starting point is 00:44:04 let me say this. I'm not to say worst quarterback, but is it the worst quarterback that's supposed to be a good quarterback? Meaning, we'll use our guy Trent Dilfer as an example. He's coming in, by the week, going to be on the show Friday in studio. Let's use him an exam.
Starting point is 00:44:18 I don't think anybody ever expected when Trent Dilfer was, when they were winning championships, for him to come out and throw for 350 yards. Or for him, they thought when they drafted him from, you know, from Duke. that he, Peyton Manning was like,
Starting point is 00:44:33 that's the guy he's going to throw. Like they really had high hopes for Jones, right? Yeah, yeah. And his legs are his best asset right now. And he's, it's been a struggle. Sequan Barclay, killing it. Number one, running back in all fantasy right now.
Starting point is 00:44:47 But yeah, I think they're probably, hmm, the worst. It's hard to call anybody worst three and one, though. It's like the Kentucky of the NFL, right? Kentucky's, oh, no, man. I try to leave it. It's interesting in the Giants for three and one.
Starting point is 00:45:02 Good for them. Good for them. New York can use a, can use a winner at times. I mean, the Jets, look at them. Yeah. What are the two and two and two? Two and two. All right.
Starting point is 00:45:11 We're going to go and do a little fantasy football talk here. Let's go now and talk to my favorite fantasy expert. Let's talk to Farah Siddiqui from Upper Hand Fantasy. What's happening, man? How are you doing? Doing pretty good. Good to talk to you again. Yeah, good to talk to you too.
Starting point is 00:45:24 Although I feel, you know how on social media you really don't talk to your friends a lot, but you watch what they're doing. See, when you finally run into them, you're like, guy I've been keeping up. So I feel like I've been keeping up. I've been watching you. You know, you're my favorite guy at Upper Hand Fantasy. And I think the first thing I want to talk about is who can we get right now, a by low guy. Let's say our team struggling. Let's say my friend Eddie over here. Let's say his team kind of sucks. Right, Eddie? Why am I the example? Well, I'm just saying, let's say his team kind of sucks. How would you help somebody whose team kind of is struggling right now?
Starting point is 00:45:55 Who could they get in on low right? That'll provide some, some value later in the season. Well, it depends. Like, if you're already, you know, 3 and 1, 4 and O, and you're trying to get something for later in the year, guys that I like Amara Sam Brown, right? Like, he's obviously a high-end player, but I don't think people have realized that he is a clear wire receiver one moving forward. Like, they're not going to put him near Cooper Cup or Jamar, Chasing, Justin Jefferson,
Starting point is 00:46:19 but he's going to perform that way, you know, moving forward. So I don't think he's a Cooper Cup light. I think he's the next Cooper Cup. So I would overpay to get him right now. He's hurt. no guarantee he's back next week, but they have a buy in week six. A lot of people are not going to want to deal with that
Starting point is 00:46:35 for him to potentially miss the next two weeks not being in their lineup. So he's a guy that I'm going to pay whatever I need to pay right now to get him on my team, you know, for the stretch of the season. Eddie, I'm 3 and 1. I have them. Yeah. So you want to overpay for him? I'm good, man. Thank you. You're sure? I'm sitting right here.
Starting point is 00:46:53 You know, who knows if you might not be back next week. But who else, if let's say you're really struggling, like my friend Eddie, he is over here. Okay. Like running back wise, because everybody's hurt. It looks like there's cues or O's with everybody in our league anyway. What's going on?
Starting point is 00:47:08 Who do you like on the running back side that could actually provide some points at a time when maybe your main guy's out? You know, I think Reese Hall, there's still an opportunity to buy him right now. You know, he's been consistent for the year in terms of fantasy points, but he hasn't had that blow up week just yet. And his usage is starting to point to the happening at some point. His snaps are way up, route participation way up, getting the targets, I think he's second in targets among all running backs at this point,
Starting point is 00:47:33 but he hasn't blown up. So he's getting the goal line snaps at this point as well. Six targets last, you know, yesterday from Zach Wilson, that's a great sign. So the dude is talented. He's a potential league winner. And, you know, if you lost a guy like Giovante Williams yesterday, I think Bruce Hall could potentially replace that and some. Eddie, I have Brice Hall as well.
Starting point is 00:47:51 So. Oh, my goodness. Any chance you want to hop over here, make a little deal? Let me think about it. I got them both. I'll sit on and think about it. Okay, so let's talk about quarterbacks. Who is your number one right now for the rest of the year?
Starting point is 00:48:06 Is it Jalen Hertz? Is it Patrick Mahomes? Is it Lamar Jackson? Who do you have at number one? I mean, it's still Josh Allen, right? Josh Allen is still number one, right? He's still the guy. You know, the conditions yesterday weren't great.
Starting point is 00:48:20 Stefan Diggs wasn't able to, you know, go crazy. Like he has been over the first three weeks of the season, but he's still the guy. Up tempo, pass heavy offense. he has the weapons. It's still him. Lamar, Jailenler Hertz, they're right there. You know, you can't go wrong.
Starting point is 00:48:34 I had somebody asked me yesterday, hey, who should I start between Lamar and Jaila Hertz? I said, please, stop it with your first role problems, okay? We're all struggling over here and trying to find a quarterback for week four. But what about Josh Allen playing in Buffalo when it gets wintertime? Like, that's what I wouldn't trust as it gets to week 14 or 15 or the first round of the playoffs and fantasy. And all of a sudden you got a Buffalo game where it's,
Starting point is 00:48:58 it's no, then what's Josh Allen going to do? Like, I guess that's the only reason that I'm not an expert because I say stupid stuff like this, but also that Josh is not my number one quarterback. What do you say to that? Well, I totally get that concern. I don't think that's an invalid concern. However, he's the guy that they're going to be using a ton near the goal line. Like, he has that rushing floor.
Starting point is 00:49:18 You know, he might not have as high of a rushing floor as Lamar Jackson or Jaylon Hertz. However, I think Jaylen Hertz, you know, he's depending on efficiency a little bit. Lamar Jackson is definitely depending on passing efficiency. So when it comes to that time of year, I worry more about Lamar Jackson than I do about Josh Allen because I do think that he's the type of guy that when it gets near the goal line, he's their goal line back. Lamar Jackson, he's going to have J.K. Dobbins, Jaila Hertz.
Starting point is 00:49:44 He's going to be rushing a lot of touchdowns as well, but he has running backs that he can depend on too. But in terms of Buffalo, Josh Allen is their goal line back. We talked about by-low. Who would you sell high on right now where people are willing to? to pay top dollar and probably going to get more value. You know, it's funny. You know, before this week, I was telling everyone to sell James Robinson. You know, James Robinson was absolutely killing it.
Starting point is 00:50:05 But he was, you know, there was a lot of overproduction there. And that kind of played out this week with him, you know, not doing his thing against Philly. But Clyde Edwards, Halear, you know, I think that's an easy one. You know, he scored five touchdowns in four weeks. He hasn't been getting enough volume to warrant his current production. He did get some volume yesterday last night with the chiefs going up. but through four weeks he's the overall RB4 right i get it he's on a great offense those touchdowns aren't going to be able to fall like they were you know all like like they were over the past
Starting point is 00:50:36 few weeks uh he's he's he's one guy i'm looking to sell jk david's another one he's scored two touchdowns you know things can get better for him but i think that's the assumption that things will get better on top of the two touchdowns right where the advantage i think that's where the advantage lies if you're trying to sell him because of the psychology around jk k daubbins only played 50% the snaps. He's sharing goal line, you know, roll with like not even Gus Edwards. When Gus Edwards is back, I think this might be a little bit more of a share than we think. What about Nick Chub? Hey, man, Nick Chub, like, I'm buying him high. Listen, you know, with Nick Chub, you know, I wasn't as high on him coming into the year. He is going to be touchdown dependent. He's not involved in
Starting point is 00:51:14 the past game. But he's like this year's Derek Henry in terms of, you know, he's not involved in the past game, but he's going to get it done for you. The talent is just too good. And then when Deshaun Watson ends up coming back, it's possible that this offense takes a step forward, you know, in week 11. So there's only, you know, it's already week four. So you only have four or five weeks before that happens. And, you know, if he has one or two duds in between those, that period, I think you'll be okay. But for now, what are you going to sell Nick Chub for? You know, unless you're getting another high end running back and a high and wide receiver, there's not, there's not much else I would rather get in a package back for Chub. I was ridiculed a lot of
Starting point is 00:51:54 lot for draft in Seekwon early this season. Because Sequin has lived hurt. Right now, Sequan is not hurt, and Seekwon is producing every single week. Do you expect these kind of numbers to continue for Sequin? Yeah, I wouldn't sell Sequan right now. You know, he's balling. You know, he was a baller.
Starting point is 00:52:14 You know, I was high on him coming into the year, and we knew that, we talked about this. The overall RB1 was in his range of outcomes. And we knew, and now through four weeks, he is the overall RV1 in PBR League. So he's a year removed from the ACL injury. And listen, we wanted to label guys, you know, quote unquote injury prone, right? But, you know, we think guys are bulletproof and safe from injury.
Starting point is 00:52:36 Look at Jonathan Taylor, right? Just suffered, you know, what could be a high ankle sprain. Maybe he wasn't considered, you know, injury prone, right? He never missed a practice like since high school. Christian McCaffrey, he's played on more than 80% of snaps in every game so far this year. So the guys, you know, we just never know when it comes to injuries. really luck of the draw a lot of the times. So no. I wouldn't still take one. Keep them. Eddie way you think. Yeah, that was my question with Jonathan Taylor. Like, what do I do with
Starting point is 00:53:03 Jonathan Taylor? I know he's number one. He probably went number one in most leagues. And now we're freaking out a little bit. Like, what do we do with Jonathan Taylor? It depends. It depends on what your team looks like right now. If you're one in three or oh and four or something like that, even two and two. And if Jonathan Taylor ends up missing this week, you don't want to risk, you know, getting too, you know, getting too low. I think he still has the name value where you can get some pieces back that you can actually play in week five. So that's, I would kind of roll it that way.
Starting point is 00:53:32 If you have JT, you're three and one, your four and oh, I would kind of stick it through. There's no way that he can have a worse stretch than he did over the first four weeks of the season. It was pretty bad before, you know, week one looked great. After that, not so great. I think he's going to bounce back. But you got to be a little bit patient. Kevin?
Starting point is 00:53:50 Yeah, hey, what's up for us? I'm a, if it ain't bro. don't fix the kind of guy. And I'm about to go 4-0. So I'm sitting here with my roster and I've beaten a team each week pretty handily. So what do I do with that roster? Do you think I should make moves?
Starting point is 00:54:02 Or you kind of sit there, hey, just keep riding the wave. You know, I think it depends. What I would do personally, I would look at what your bench looks like and see if you can package do some two-for-one trades. And really feast.
Starting point is 00:54:15 You've already been feasting on all the bad teams in your league, but I would go a little deeper there. I would look at all the bad teams, look at see see who they need and potentially do some two for ones maybe they're willing to give you one of their studs for two players that might help fill their lineup right and you know if you're four and oh that's what you want right those are the guys who are going to win you weeks those are the guys that you want to build your roster on so you know if there's a little bit let's say your wide receiver three
Starting point is 00:54:40 is weak or your flex is relatively weak it's not a you know you're not starting a wide receiver one in your wire receiver three spot you know maybe you see if you can make that upgrade um you know and tweak it a little bit, you know, just so that you're ready when it comes to the stretch run of the season. What's the expectation with Jamar Chase for the rest of the year? You know, with Jamar Chase, I think he ends up doing his thing. He had an amazing week one. I think he's a good buy low right now.
Starting point is 00:55:04 You know, the name value is why it might be a little tough, but we saw what he's capable in week one, 10 for 129 in the touchdown. He's above 27% target share in three or four weeks. The thing is he has a very good compliment in T. Higgins, right? If Joe Burrow only needs to throw the ball 31 times like he did, yesterday, or I'm sorry, on Thursday night, then, you know, there's a chance that, you know, only one of them blow up. But Chase has that weak winning ability, just like how I was talking
Starting point is 00:55:30 about. He's like one of those guys that I would trade for. He's going to win you weeks. He won people in week one. Week one, at week five, they play the Ravens. So there's a chance that he blows up in that game. They have one of the worst secondaries in the league. So if you're looking to buy somebody, he's somebody to buy right now before he blows up next week. All right. Two final questions before you go. But let's talk about surprises. Who, has been the biggest surprise running back for you so far this season? You know, it's James Robinson. Somebody else looking to sell.
Starting point is 00:55:57 Coming into week four, he was the third best running back through three weeks. Not only did he have to overcome an Achilles injury that he suffered late in the season in December, which is known to be a death blow to running backs in the NFL, he had to prove himself to a new coaching staff as a former undrafted free agent, someone the team did not invest in at all, and had to compete with the first round talent and one of the better running back prospects over the last couple of years in Travis E.TN. ended up winning the job, the early down job over Travis ETS. So super impressive, right?
Starting point is 00:56:27 And the Jaguars then actually being a much better football team with Doug Peterson at the helm definitely helped too. And then finally, I'll ask you that about wide receiver. Like who's been the biggest surprise that you expect to continue to perform? I think, you know, same team, Christian Kirk. You know, despite, you know, he had a bad week four, right? But he still got the targets. You know, he's still top 10 fantasy wire receiver through four weeks.
Starting point is 00:56:48 He's playing in the slot, which is what we've seen with these cards. coverage is moving a lot into zone. That's one of the reasons why these slot-wide receivers doing really well. The ones who were able to diagnose the zone, Cooper Cup, Amora San Brown, guys like that, they're doing well. I think Christian Kirk is, you know, not at that tier, but he's going to continue to get it done. He's with the target share that he's getting. He was mocked a little bit, right?
Starting point is 00:57:09 Like the Jaguars were mocked, you know, by, you know, paying this guy all that money. But listen, he's, he's producing the pay Jay Jones. He's producing too. So, you know, going into week four, Kirk was averaging six catches. for 89 yards in a touchdown. So, and I do think that, you know, the volume is matching the production here. So I do think it is sustainable.
Starting point is 00:57:28 Eddie, what's your record? Oh, me? I'm one in one. I got a lot of these players. You know, I got a lot of these players. You may want to help me. I do have one quick question. I thought it was real cute.
Starting point is 00:57:38 I was real cute drafting DeAndre Hopkins thinking like, oh, he's going to come in a few weeks late and then he's going to domy. But the Cardinals suck. And Kyler Murray, like, what do, I mean, is that even worth holding on to Deandre Hopkins? Is he just going to be DeAndre Hopkins? And yes, it's going to be awesome. I think it'll, you'll, I think it's good to hold him.
Starting point is 00:57:57 However, if you're one and three, I would look to trade him now because he's not doing anything for you right now. Right. Like, I would look at the four and no teams in the three and one team. They're much more willing to hold DeAndre Hopkins on their bench while they give you some stuff that you can use right now. And then into the rest of the season. Hey, bones. You like DeAndre Hopkins? Hey, buddy.
Starting point is 00:58:14 Hey, I'll give you one final thing. You have them to. One final. So I picked up Gronk and I'm sitting him on a bench because I can right now thinking, that Tampa's going to call him back in a service because Tampa's playing wide receiver roulette right now. People hurt. People coming back. They're picking up Cole Beasley.
Starting point is 00:58:29 What do you think about Gronk coming back? I think it's possible, man. I would not bet against it. You know, like, it's a lot of make signals with Grank and Brady going back and forth. I would not... Who wants to go through a training camp? Who wants to go through the regular season when you know you're going to make the playoffs
Starting point is 00:58:44 and potentially make the Super Bowl? I can totally see this guy coming back in the stretch run. The fact that you have Gronk on your bench and you have that luxury to hold that guy, tells me that you have a pretty good team. Exactly. All right. Farah Siddiqui,

Starting point is 01:00:34 leagues. You've got to make moves, or you're just going to further disintegrate and go 0 and 9, basically. All right, so final, guys, give me your final thought here. Mike, if you want to hit our song that's supposed to sound like Leonard Skinner, but it's just a rip-off. Eddie, final thought.
Starting point is 01:00:50 Prayers for Tua. I mean, maybe it's fine. Maybe it's the dad in me, but like, I would just be like, son, I think we're done playing football. Like, every time. I don't know why I believe the Miami staff so much when they said they checked him out over and over again. It's so sad. I've really, like, I felt for him when his hands were doing his thing and like.
Starting point is 01:01:08 And even like Godwin last night. Like, it's just when players get hurt and then they come back and they fight through it and then they get hurt again. And then you see one shot and they're down for like, A whole minute and I'm like, guys, like it's just some point. Like, I care so much about like just the human out there, not the football player or the team. Like, come on, man. Like, just take care of yourself.
Starting point is 01:01:29 I mean, it's a reliability. I understand why they don't want to be the person that's always known as injury prone because they can't sign another deal. I don't know why I believe the Dolphins so much, though. They're like, we checked them. We checked them. We checked them. And I know people are mad. I don't know why I believe the dog.
Starting point is 01:01:44 There's going to be a big fat investigation and we're going to see what's up. Kevin, what are you going to say? No, I was going to say, I just don't think that, like, we talked about it last week, I don't think they would chance that. Me either. If this was, if this was 10, 15 years ago, maybe, but now? If it's Dick Butkus? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:57 I would say he's going in there with four concussions. It's not Dick Butchus. And I know they fired that individual doctor or whatever, but that's, I don't know. I just don't think, I'm with you. I don't think they would have chanced it. Kevin? My final thought, I'm going to send some prayers as well, Eddie. Oh, good.
Starting point is 01:02:10 But mine are going to Antonio Brown. Oh, man. God, dude. He just keeps going downhill more and more. and this man needs some help or something. If you didn't see it, he was in a pool in Dubai, I think. Yeah, Dubai. And he's in a pool and his penis is he's just out.
Starting point is 01:02:25 Yeah. And the thing is, like, he's exposing himself. But then he said he was like, look, I don't know, he had an all explanation. But regardless, you can't have your wiener out. No. Question, the blurred thing. That was the penis. That's what I thought, too.
Starting point is 01:02:38 Holy crap. Yeah, same. It's quite the blur. Same. Wow. It took up the whole screen. Same. This is who I'm begging.
Starting point is 01:02:44 I'm begging. Apple or Amazon to please buy the Sunday ticket. Please, please pay the most money and get it. Please get it. I want to watch it. Bones, what's wrong? You can get it. You can buy the app.
Starting point is 01:02:54 Okay, but then you have to use a college ID. Then you have to, it's just too, just don't. Just put it somewhere where if we want it, we can buy it. We don't have to subscribe to a whole server. I agree with you. So I know all the Apple executives listen to this podcast religiously. Yeah, of course. Please buy Sunday ticket.
Starting point is 01:03:09 I know what's up. Amazon, please. I like what Amazon is doing. Yeah. Great. Please buy it. Because I want to watch all the game. crazy. We're at 2022 and we can't watch every game. It's really the only place where it feels like
Starting point is 01:03:20 1973. Well, yeah, I can only watch a regional game and then whatever the Fox game of the week is. Stupid. So somebody buy it that can make it easy for us. Or direct TV, just allow it to be bought by itself. No college ID, nothing. It's just a Sunday ticket app. You pay the money for it. You watch it. I love it. That's what I want right there. I don't want to be calling my friend. Hey, you're still in college, right? You still have that college? I want it. It's like Facebook back in the back in the back in the day. Yeah, I need Apple to buy it. That's just it.
Starting point is 01:03:47 That's it. Thank you. All right. Trendale, Furnin Studio on Friday's show. Thank you very much. Hope you guys, you know, made more smiles and frowns this week. Yeah. That's what we'll say. Thanks, going to Drive Kings, and we will see you guys on Friday.
