Yeah. We can do headlines. and just do your headline. Do what you think is the biggest headline of the weekend. Eddie, we'll start with you. You want me to just say like Cowboys Lose to like my life sucks or like what do you mean? That works. My headline's going to be God took care of me this weekend.

I like it. Keep going. Keep going. Because God gave me. Well, he first took away the Cowboys. But Sam Houston State won. Their first game ever in, you know, Division I football. But you don't care really about that.

They're still in my school. Like, I went to school there. I hear you, but you really don't care about that. I don't, but that's kind of cool and got through the Nuggett. They won their first division one game, yes. Correct. And then I won... FBS or whatever.

Whatever. USA Conference. Yes. They're playing with the big boys and they won their first game. And then my fantasy team won. So that was cool. So I think like that's kind of how it works. Like, all right, you know you're going to be down.

The Cowboys aren't going to win. They're going to get beat by the Eagles. It's going to be tough. But you know what? It's okay because your fantasy team won. and Sam Houston State's going to win. So there you go. So God's good.

But the headline is God is good? Yeah, God took care of me. You just said you didn't want to come in. It's hard. It's hard to come in. And you know the feeling, dude. When your team loses, it's like... Don't bring me into this, buddy.

You know what it's like. Maybe not this week, but you know what it's like. Don't bring me into this, buddy. And I was upset. I was upset all night. And I was... It was hard to go to bed. Like, I didn't sleep very well.

And I even woke up today. You know when you wake up and you're like, something just doesn't feel right. Oh. Right, of course. It was a bad night. Cowboys lost. You didn't like that.

You didn't wear your hat, though. Of course. I'm not going to be that fan that's like, oh, they didn't win, so I'm not going to support my team. How did you feel about the end of the game? The end of the game, as far as like... The last try. You know, they got a shot. Is that you're going to be able to take them down?

Yeah, I mean, I'm not putting it all on DAC. I didn't say that. I'm just talking about the final possession. I think whenever the Cowboys need to come back to win the game, I don't have a lot of hope. It's kind of the scenario where I'm like, please, let's not end this game like that. because usually when it comes to that, we're not going to really finish strong. I think we had all the opportunities in the world

to win that game. I think we had many, many opportunities. But even that last pass, you got to help me out here because I'd been kind of sick. I had drank. I thought it was milk and I drank coffee creamer. So my stomach was a mess. Like a full cup?

But bro, I thought I was eating cookies and milk and it was cookies and coffee creamer. Oh, yeah, it's brutal. But that last pass, it was short of the end zone. Sure. That was just a desperate. Why do they just throw in the end zone? though.

I mean, I don't. Was it like a hook and ladder type situation? I mean, it was definitely. I had no volume on and I was feeling very poopy. And I saw, but am I missing something? I'll give you the scenario. We had the ball at the six yard line. Am I thinking, yeah, but the past didn't make it to the end zone line.

We had the ball at the six yard line. And then penalty after penalty after penalty at sack. We ended up being like 40 yards away. Yes. Literally. And it's almost a Hail Mary. And so with all of their defenders on the goal line, he just thought he was just going to get it to C. Lamb at the 10 maybe and they didn't it work something. But I think to your point, they talked about it after the game on, I think it was Fox

broadcasting it and they were saying, why didn't he pitch it to a guy? And we're like, well, there's nobody there. So it's almost like that was the idea, but they didn't execute it. So I thought I missed like a hook and ladder type thing, but I saw nobody there to run that play. I feel like the play too, and they had the right idea of CD Lamb being on the right side. Why not put on the end zone? So you catch a flicker. Well, because there were 10 dudes in the end zone.

But that's what happens every time on it. I understand. And I do like the strategy. If DAC would have thrown the ball a little bit to the right, he had all the defenders going left. And if CD could have flipped back right, he was open for the touchdown. Now, that's hindsight. Obviously, you can't see that during the game.

But really, they saw 30 yards of green. Let's make a play there and see if we can get in the end zone. Other than that, it's no chance. What about the DAC out of balance situation? Yeah, it was a two-point conversion. That was the two-point conversion attempt. He ran, and it looked like it was a touchdown, and they go the replay, and he's got a foot out at the one-yard line.

What about when they went for him fourth down and they threw? it to what's his name? He had a touchdown which was nice. No, the little guy. Oh, Turbin.

Yeah. I mean, on fourth down, that's who you go to? I mean, when your good receivers you know, double covered or you got

three defenders on them, I think that that was a strategy. I don't, you know. I hated that they lost. I'll be honest. Yeah, same. I wanted them to win.

But it just seemed like from, I only saw like 40% of the game. That was very poopy. That it looked like the cowboy's self-inflicting loss. It was all like self-inflicted stuff. I'm going to call it bad luck because they played well. They played really well against a really, really good Eagles team.

And I think that we just had some bad luck, man. That foot going out of bounce and the two-point conversion could have helped. Is that bad luck, though, or is that just put... Well, you know, you're not out of bounce. I mean, just, I don't know. Like, we call it whatever you want to call it. And then that touchdown of the tight end, I mean, he was down. It looked like a touchdown again, and he was like knee was down in the half-yard line.

And so it's just little things like that where we had a lot of chances, but just bad luck. Also, your right tackle got worked in the fourth quarter. Steele? I mean, their D-line got after it. Yeah. Yeah, that's not bad luck. Philly's D-line is freaking awesome.

Yeah. Then Ferguson's going to be a dude, for sure. He's turning into a guy that I think is going to be a top five or seven tied in. I think he's going to be really good the rest of the year. That'd be cool because we lost a good one. Jason Whitten? No. Yeah, he did too, but Dalton Schultz.

Your headline, Kevin? Mine is, let's go with Milro and Sabin. Save the Tide season. Yeah, I think they can still win the national championship. They looked awesome. Milro, compared to like, say, week, two, week three, when he got bench, it looked like a completely different player. He's a best player on that field.

Yeah, you're right. I don't know why. Maybe it's just confidence. It's him being trusted to do more. Maybe he actually can do more. It's learned. But yeah, they, near the end of that game, it was just two different types of teams.

They were way better than LSU. Yeah, at the end, especially, it was weird because the first half you're like, oh, it was a good game, and the second half you're like, yeah, Bama is just better. Let's be honest here. That's exactly what I felt. Their defense.

At the end, it was just, yeah. Same thing with Washington and USC. Great games. The Washington USC game was interesting. Because I bet, I bet on it. Do I lose? Or do they cut? I think they made a couple times on that.

Did I? Yeah. I saw, what do you think about Caleb Williams crying after the game? You know, he was crying with his mom. And I, you know, I'm all for emotion and love and family. It felt like a, it just felt weird. Yeah, I think it was a little act. Oh, you thought it was fake.

Oh, you do? Interesting. I think he knew the cameras are always on him. I don't know, he rubs me the wrong way sometimes. Me too. And he's starting to rub me the wrong way a lot. And he rubbed me the wrong way that night. I felt like the crying thing was kind of lame.

Yeah. And I don't think crying is lame. But I felt like that situation probably could have happened somewhere where the cameras weren't. So are you thinking it's kind of fake too? No. Okay. But also it was their third loss, isn't it? Yeah.

It's not like they just lost their – and that's where it hit me weird. Like they didn't just lose their chance to go to the national championship or the playoff or to win the Pac-12. They lost again. That's it. They lost again. could it be because they keep losing? Maybe they did fire their offensive coordinator. Yeah.

So maybe it's one of those things where you're just like, man, I'm fed up. Finally. But do it behind the scenes, I think. I felt like that was a behind the sceneer. Yeah. But if you can't control. But you're wearing a helmet. But you're wearing a helmet.

He had a helmet on still too. Or he's behind his mom's papers. Yeah. Whatever that paper thing was. But you have a helmet you can put on. You think he was telling her? Cover my face. I don't know, man.

Did you see the Max Duggan thing? Because last year, Max Duggan was crying after they got smoked and the Natty. And somebody, I think RG3 tweeted it and said, you know, got to feel bad for him. And then Caleb retweeted it and just put LOL. So then now this whole thing with Caleb was crying. That's funny.

And RG3 posted like, oh, God, love Caleb. And then Max Duggan retweeted it and just put LOL. Got him. Oh, he set him up. That's pretty good. Yeah. Did you just the Washington player that was crying after the game because his dad had died?

That was cool. That was cool. Yeah. That's different. It's way different. It's your third loss, Caleb. Yeah. If it's your first loss,

even then I'll be like, I get it. You weren't doing anything anyway. You're not winning the conference. You're not going to the national. You weren't anyway before the game started. And his future is still good. And he's still going to be the more overall pick. You're still good, bud.

But that's interesting that your theory was, he was faking it. Yeah, I just think it was for show. Yeah. Reed, do you have any headline at all? Did you watch any sports at all? Yeah, my headline is, I made a stupid bet. You did? I was four yards away for the Cowboys.

winning. What bet did you... Well, hold on. Hold on, wait. Yeah, hold on. Reed, not a big gambler with any consistency, but loves to hop in and take his shots. What was the bet? So I bet the Cowboys money line, I guess it was like the third quarter and it was plus

$6.50 and I put $200 on it. I could have cashed out at like $6.75. Oh, man. And I did it. You had two chances at that, too. Wow. You know, I don't know that I would be that upset. It sucks to lose a couple hundred bucks, yes.

But you did have an opportunity, and that's on you, to not cash out. Yep. And they almost won the game, except for they didn't throw it past the freaking goal line. There we go. But that sucks. I'm sorry you lost the money. But it was a good bet because you could have won if you hit the button. For sure.

So you had the opportunity to win money. Yeah, for sure. That cash out triggers hard, though, dude. It's so hard. I've been cashed out a little bit. Have you? Yeah, a little bit. Just because if I'm like, you know what, I can only win $18 more if I sit and they win the game versus just take it.

I'm like, it's not worth $18. I'll just take the money now, the risk. So I've been cashed out a little more recently. So my parlayers are so ridiculous, right? It's like one, it's 13 game parlay, put a dollar on it to win like $5 or whatever. And so this weekend, I had multiple times to cash out for like $5, $6. And I'm thinking it is kind of smart. It ain't worth it than that.

But I mean, you're turning $1 into $6 like that. But you could do that by making a much easier bet. Correct. And then if I did have a chance to win the $8,000, I'd be like, I'd really pick myself. Mine aren't parlayers that I really cash out on. Mine are just in games. So if it's, you know, like, has a good cash out option for whatever. I'll be like, you know what?

I'm really not going to win that much more. And if I know how this works, I'm going to lose it all. So I just cash out a little bit. So let me ask you this. Whenever there's a cash out where if you hit the bet, you're going to win, $400. And the cash, and the game's almost over.

You've got it. Your team's up by like 14 points. And the cash out is $3.80. Like, would you just cash out and just lose the $20? Possibly. It just depends on the scenario

on what the team is, how my day's been so far. That's got a good part of it too. If I've been hurting. Like, I just feel like, I just need the money. Yeah. Let me get out of there.

I'll give you my stats, my betting stats in a minute. I'll do two headlines, one of very personal one, Arkansas one, which is, thank God. Thank God.

Cam Little is a freaking stud. With like 40 seconds left, he kicks a 50-yarder basically to tie it. KJ. Jefferson's a stud. I won't stay too Arkansas here, but it was a big win. I was in California watching it. And just needed it. I almost texted you. Not during the game.

After the game. We won't do that anymore. Not during because you never. Thank you. Not even after a good play. You can't even text him and say like, oh, dude, that pass is awesome. Why would you say that during a play? I don't do that to you.

But when they went up 14-0 after that, whatever, pick six or a fumble or whatever, I was like, yeah, let's go. And I was like, I can't say anything, though. But in my head, I was like, and then I saw his title,

I was like, yep. You know, my kids, we were all screaming when they won that game. We were excited in the living room. And then one of my boys goes, why are we so excited about Arkansas? I'm like, that's a good question. We just are.

It's not a good question. It is a question they should know the answer to that Uncle Bobby lives and dies with them. I think they know that. My real headline would probably be my non-personal headline, would probably be Minnesota and Dobbs. Amazing.

Never took one snap in practice. So cool. I love how they said, like, there's no way he knows his lineman's name. He doesn't even know them that well. They, on the sideline, had to go through and practice the cadence. And there were five different cadences, I think they had to go through. So they were on the sideline practicing the cadence. They'd never run one play together.

But he told the coach, you have to remember, he's a really smart guy. He's like studied rocket science. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. I didn't know that. to him talk. We'd be embarrassed to talk next to him. Really? Super smart guy. And so, he told

his coaches, he goes, I've got it all memorized of what we've put in this week, so if you need me, he's the back up. Great, because he's just been traded from the Cardinals. Went in and won. They won. And it's not like he played the greatest of games. He played, considering the practice he had it, it was awesome. But he went in and they won the game. Minnesota won the game.

You're really cool. And he had a couple of bad turnovers, and you felt bad for him. He's like, what do you expect? And then he came back. It was awesome. Yeah, aerospace engineering. Wow. it's so cool so cool. So that makes me happy for him and you know,

does Justin Jefferson come back? It's weird because there are two teams that are in two different places that I kind of expected even three weeks ago both teams to be in the opposite side. One is Buffalo Bills. They lost last night.

They're what, five and four? Yeah. Crazy that they're only one game over 500. And two, it's the Vikings. They won again. Without their quarterback, without their best receiver. And so does Justin Jefferson come back or does he sit the year out?

Minnesota's in a weird place. Do they try to keep winning? You know, you're messing with the draft pick here. So it's super cool to see Dobbs do that, though. You're starting to realize that like, okay, Dobbs is like a legit dude. He's played with everybody too. He's like, he's had like five teams. And since week 15 of last year, this is his fifth team.

That's crazy. That's crazy. And we wrote him off with the Cardinals like, they're going to lose all their games, whatever. Dobbs like, uh-uh, not today. Not under my watch. Well, they kind of did. Yeah, but I mean, he played so well. Their second half those Cardinals games always went to S.

Yeah. But that's just because the Cardinals suck. Yeah, they don't have the personnel like the Vikings do. Right. That is correct. So I'm going to give Dodd. How about Daniel Jones? Not that the Giants were any good, but now Terrors is ACL.

Heartbreaker. It's terrible. I hate to see it. Yeah, and what are they going to do? Yeah, the big contract? Yeah. Are they going to draft a quarterback though now? Because they're probably going to...

You just lose the games now. You just lose the games. They already were losing a bunch of games. They got beat by the Jets and the worst punt fest game I've ever seen in my life. You just lose the games and get a good draft pick. Because Dable's not getting fired. No. If he were a coach who were already struggling, I think it would probably...

He's not getting fired, so lose the games. Yeah. But you have a player like Sequon who's trying to... He got this with a one-year deal. Yeah. Didn't get franchise tag. Got a little more money. But obviously he wants to put up numbers to get paid next year.

Yeah, it's brutal. It's a bad situation. Because you can't resign him for a long term because you don't even have a quarterback. He's also 53 and a running back. Yeah. Two things. Pretty good NFL week. Joe Burrow.

Look good. Awesome. Look good. And his finger was like falling off. At one point, I mean, I think his nail came off. He was just completely bleeding on one finger nail. from his throwing hand. He was sucking on it.

I didn't see that. No big deal, dude. Like a freaking soldier. Oh, he was sucking on it? No big deal. Yeah, because it's like bleeding and he's sucking on it. 25 whistles presented by Draft King's

I thought I picked the Browns over the Cardinals, which I guess was you, Kevin? I thought that was me because I picked them in my eliminator. Oh, I let us down. I didn't hate your pick, though. I mean, I kind of, I thought for a minute there, I thought Carolina can fool that one off. I let us down. I mean, you did.

I did. There's no two ways about it. You let us down. Hey, you can let it up. Panthers plus two and a half versus the Colts. That was a loss because the Panthers lost by 14, I think, 2713. Browns won 27-0, so Kevin hit that. Brown's a minus 12 and a half.

Commanders plus three at the Patriots. Commanders won by three. They won the game. So sorry about that, Kevin. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's like now, it's just weird now. Do you root for your team to lose? It's such a weird.

I was talking to my dad and brother, buddy. I said, like, what do we do? Like, I want them to win, obviously, in the moment. But when they lose, I'm kind of like, yeah, we're still top five draft pick, though. It's like Mac Jones. Just let him play. Yeah. Let him try to earn some money or something.

I don't know. And if he keeps throwing picks, good. But that last one, I don't know if you saw the final play where he threw a pick with 30 seconds ago when they were driving. Right off Juju's hands. I didn't see it. Yeah, Juju. I'm paying him 11 million bucks a year

and he can't even catch a football. Oh, you're not paying him that. I contribute. I contribute my heart, okay? Well, we did not hit again. I don't know how many weeks in row we've missed the parlay. But they're putting us farther and farther back

on the Draft King's app. No. I did. Yeah, one of the dads of football asked me. He's like, I don't see your parlay today. Well, it's NFL so it was on Sunday. That's what I told them. But yeah, we're missing.

I don't know, we've hit in three months. Well, you can take the 205 bus on Parlay.

On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. What teams do you think can win the Super Bowl right now? The Eagles. Boom. I agree. The 49ers. A healthy 49ers? I agree.

And I still think that the, I think, are always a contender. Agree? And then I think Miami. Oh. I still think Miami can win. Okay. So let's do. definitely win the Super Bowl for it. We'll do three tiers. Okay, okay. Can definitely, oh, okay, I wouldn't be so shocked. And then, yeah, they're pretenders. They're good, but they're pretenders. Okay. Okay, because we're not going to list every team. We don't need the bad teams. So if we're doing teams that for sure can win the Super Bowl in our minds, I think Kansas City, you get to be the man, you got to beat the man. Boom. I think San Francisco, who looked like the greatest NFL team of all time when everybody was healthy. Correct. With.

Debo and McCaffrey and Iook and then your quarterback just got to get the guys the ball. If they're not, if it's not good, you need your office, all your offensive linemen. I think, I think Dallas can win. Oh, you're going to put them tier one? Definitely. I like that.

No, I was just finishing a sentence and both you guys jumped on me. Because I liked what you were saying. I think Dallas can be in that conversation of what tier they fall in. So I'm not going to place them yet. Yeah, I'd put them in tier two. The Eagles Yeah Tier 1

So KC San Francisco and the Eagles Is there anybody That's in tier 1 That we're like They should probably For sure it can probably win Super Bowl Let me ask you Would you consider putting Baltimore in there?

Not my pick But let me ask you Man I think And I think Baltimore is awesome Right now I'm not There is such a If this is the A tier They're such a B plus plus

They're an 89 Yeah They're almost there And they took Seattle and just whooped them. It was never a game. No. And so defense now is coming along too.

So I'm going to say not right this second, but man, they were close. What do you think? I'm right there with you. I thought about them, but if I really think about it, it's almost like I trust a bangles more, even though Baltimore might be playing better right now? I think I would put the Bengals in the tier one. I think so.

It's not because of their record, but Burroughs been hurt. But it's because of his history of being a freaking awesome quarterback in getting there. Yeah. Getting there. I mean, they did say last night that he's still dealing with that knee issue. So, I mean, he's still kind of hurt. It's going to take a two-thirds vote to get him in the top tier.

Bengals? Yes. Yes. Okay. You? I wouldn't put them in there, but go ahead. I'm going to put them in there, so they're going to make the top tier. Okay.

Okay. So those four teams, what about the Ravens? No. Not in one. Okay. Nope. All right. So in tier one, we have Kansas City, San Francisco, Philadelphia, and Cincinnati.

Everybody good on that? Yep. Tier two. I think it's Baltimore. All in favor? Yep. I'm up, what was your third category called? Pretenders.

Pretenders. I might put them as a pretender. Oh, we got two votes. That's fine. I just want to be out there and say it. Dallas. Yes. I'll put them in this category.

Not so shocked by that one. Yeah. I like it. Now, I think Jacksonville goes in this section. I was just about to say that. I think they're in like, they're not the top of this section, but I think they're in the mid, mid, and I think they have a good quarterback. They have a coach that's been there before.

Their defense is, I'm going Jacksonville in this. Anybody want to vote on Jacksonville to be in the middle section? Like you, they can win it. I'm all about it. A couple things got to go right, but they can win it. I'm all about it. I'm going to go with that too. You don't like that, Kevin?

No, I don't. Okay, well, that's why we have two, three. It's right on the border, but I don't. Okay. Who else are we forgetting here? What about the Lions? I put them in this section. I co-sign that.

I'm with the Lions pick on that. The Lions? Yeah. Yeah. You haven't done Miami yet? But I think Miami goes here. Miami goes here for sure. I put them in two or three.

You put them as pretenders? Pretenders. Their record against 500 teams is not good. Wow. Look at you. Okay, two-thirds vote. It gets in there. Who else we forget in the middle section?

Because I don't think anybody from like the division with the Saints is, There's just no way. No. Not your bucks? No. Hey. CJ Stroud went off. Hey, hey, how about that kicker?

How about that third string running back who turned into the kicker? That was awesome. No. Bills? Not their year. Oh, what a great question. They're five and four, but do I believe? I'm going to put them in the middle.

Because you believe in them? I think they can win it. I do think they, I don't think they're not Casey, San Francisco, but I think they're in the Baltimore, Dallas. I say no. Yeah, I say no, but... Oh, you put them the pretender? Yeah.

Okay, all right. Sorry, man. Good for you guys. I'd like to be on the record. I think they probably could. That's no commitment at all. They probably could. So we have in the middle section,

Baltimore, Dallas, Jacksonville, the lions, and the dolphins. Now we need some wild cards? Yeah, yeah. And maybe we think of other teams. But when you're looking at teams that will probably make the playoffs that are pretender,

I can't believe you guys put the bills. They're number one in this category, though, I think. The bottom third. Oh, for sure, number one there, yeah. Teams like the buck, oh, I was going to talk about C.J. Stroud playing his freaking brains out. Best rookie quarterback performance of all time, possibly. Something like that, five touchdowns or whatever he had.

Yeah, 500 yards pretty much. Crazy. I thought Tampa was going to win that game. Same. And it's not Tampa's offense's fault. They didn't win the game. It just couldn't stop CJ Stroud. It was awesome.

He's killing it. Okay. So you want to put the Texans in there? No, I don't even think they make this. I don't think so either. Browns? Pretenders. They're five and three.

I mean, they're in the playoffs right now. Yes, good point. Pretenders. I think you put probably the Saints as Pretenders. Do they even make that? Who's going to win that division, though? I think the Saints probably have to win that division. I think so.

The Falcons are going to win that? I don't think so. How did Hineke? I didn't watch a lot of. of that game. Heineke didn't do so well. So we're not even putting the Saints as even a... Like if you make the playoffs, though, you're a pretender.

Yeah, and they're leading the division, so... What's the order? Saints, Falcons, Bucks, Panthers. So Panthers, for sure, nothing. Were the Bucks like a game under? They're three and five. Oh, they were a game under yesterday. They've lost four in a row.

I believe in them. Big Baker guy. Yeah, Big Baker. Big Baker podcast here. Who was two? Falcons. No. They don't have a quarter of a quarter. quarterback, Ritter sucks, at least to my highs.

Yeah. So I think the Saints are pretenders because they'll probably make the playoff. Seahawks? Yeah, you got to put them on that list because they could sneak in. Yeah, pretenders, but good enough to be on the list. Here's the biggest fake, I think, the Steelers. Oh, yeah. I don't think they're any good.

I know. They're not even faking their way up there. Oh, they're five and three. Didn't realize that. They have a better record than Buffalo does. That's crazy. They're second place in the AFC North. They're for sure pretenders.

We have to put them in there. And then what about your Vikings? I don't think I put them in anything yet. But they're trying to climb up to that third tier. Who would we put it as like the bottom five teams? You got to put Carolina. You got to put Carolina in there. Cardinals.

Patriots. You would put the Patriots? Oh yeah. Patriots. Giants. It's bad. Okay, but okay, cool, cool. Giants.

Cats. But what? Rams? No. No. Without Stafford, yes. That's what we're doing with the Giants too, right? True.

Oh, dude, the Giants are just terrible, even when Daniel Jones was playing. Who is that fifth terrible team? Broncos? They beat the Chiefs, man. Can't put them in the... Cardinals? Do we say the Cardinals? The Homes had the flu game?

Come on, Michael Jordan. What are you at? Yeah, we said the Cardinals. Bears? Oh, yeah, the Bears. The Bears. The Bears. The Bears.

The Bears. The Bears. The Bears. The Bears. Carolina, the Cardinals, the Giants and the Patriots. How are the Chargers doing? They're pretending to be a pretender. Like always.

They're in the list of, we don't have a list. They're a purgatory. Dude, that AFC North is crazy. Yeah. Like everyone's in there. The Bengals are in last. Yeah. And I still believe in the Bengals because I, especially after watching them play last night

and watching Burrow be somewhat healthy. I didn't see him sucking his thumb or whatever. whatever. Licking his blood. Yeah. But it's all, it's a quarterback league, man. You have a real good quarterback. You can win any game.

Look at C.J. Strawn the Texans. They suck. And because he's on, they're on. Yeah. And I mean, who's his number one guy? D or... Tank or... No, no, I think Nico Collins probably. Okay, sure. And then Robert Woods, but he's heard...

He didn't play this week. That's the point. They don't really have a number one. Exactly. Dalton Schultz. I mean, he played good this week. He probably would have scored that touchdown for you guys yesterday. Yeah, I probably would. Probably.

We still had him, yeah. I'll give him my betting stats in a second. Why don't we go over to the Michigan analyst? He has now resigned, but first I said he was fired, but now he's resigned. I got to say, I love this dude now. This is the spy? Yeah. The one that loves his team.

I've always known he had the manifest, the 600 pages, diehard Michigan fan. But he's like, he's not ratting on his people. This dude is going down, and he's going to go down alone. So his teammates being every person that loves Michigan, so maybe they're spared. Wow. He's a military guy, right? So that's kind of that mantra.

Like, I mean, it's hilarious, and they're stupid. In the Western Michigan, when he had the glasses on, the record, the lights on. It's the dumbest thing I've ever seen, but it's hilarious and awesome. I love it. But Connor Stallions, keep broing it up, man, because that's awesome. The University of Michigan, what's out?

Come on the pod. Yeah. Oh, that'd be cool. Yeah, I'm sure everybody's trying to get him. Yeah. The University of Michigan football analysts that have been suspended, pending the outcome of the investigation,

has tendered his resignation. On Friday reports came out saying he had been fired. Later that day, Michigan announced that he resigned and was unable to comment further. Even Michigan's sticking up for him. Letting him resign is Michigan going, that's still our dude. Because they can easily go, yeah, we fired him,

trying to get out way ahead of it. Like, we have nothing to do with it. This guy is a rogue Lala, B, C, D, FG. They're like, no, he resigned. Am I becoming a Michigan fan? Those cheaters? And they're still rolling.

They are rolling, and they're good. But, I don't know. Would you rather win the national championship and then them take it away from you later? Or not win it at all? Because I would rather win it. You're not taking away my memories. Yes.

You can't take away my memories. Unless every fan gets them in black, boop. I still remember Reggie Bush being very, very good. Yes. That's true. Even without a husband. In a statement, Stallion's lawyer said the resignation was to keep from being an distraction to the team.

Yeah, he's pretty distracting. It's hilarious. I told you guys, and mentioned that Ryan Day, his brother has like a, he's like a PI. Probably an investigator. Yeah. You can tell I've had to deal with PI. I'm sorry. You know the acronym.

Yeah, you can tell that I have had a lot of experience with him. So he's the head coach at Ohio State. And so let me read this here. Several sources at Michigan and in the media claim they're gathering evidence on two private investigators they believe are behind the investigation into UM's alleged illegal on-site scouting

and are responsible for the media leaks and have ties to Ohio State head coach Ryan Day's family. On-site scouting is doing signs. But again, even if you pick and you say that they're involved in it, Michigan was still doing it. Like Michigan's like, we know that Ryan Day's could be involved

Ryan Day's family. like, okay, who cares? If you're still doing it, it's still legal. It doesn't make it any more legal because of who's investigating it. Interesting. What? Just like the whole dynamic, Ohio State, Michigan,

like this whole thing. I don't understand your point. What's your point with it? Regardless of who's investigating it, if it's an Ohio state investigator, if it's an Arkansas investigator, if it's somebody from Tupelo, Mississippi, or England, Michigan's still doing it.

It doesn't really matter who's doing the investigating. Right. So Michigan's going, we think Ohio State is involved in this. They're the bad guys. No, they wouldn't be the bad guys. They can investigate all day long and if they don't find anything, nothing happens.

Okay. Do you understand that? I do understand. I guess am I making sense. It's their clarity and whatever. You're making sense. I just don't understand. It just sounds like, it's like if you accuse me to doing something,

I'm like, well, we'll read, read does that too sometimes. But if you still did it, you would still be in the wrong. Right. You're Michigan. It's just kind of, it's deflecting. Yes. For no reason. Well, for reason, it's deflection.

Sure. On Saturday, Michigan asked the rest of the big ten to respect due process. Yeah, right. If I was every team, I'd be like, no. It's awesome. It's my favorite story of the year. That week leading up to that game is going to be insane. When is that game?

If no, like, punishment or anything, it's in two or three weeks. Yeah, it can't be too far away, huh? No. The end of this month sometime. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying. Yep, that's me.

Our new episode of Too Much Access is, if you guys want to watch it, it's Cincinnati. It's a really good episode. We were just trying to get, trying to root them to victory. But they lost UCF, another one of our schools. That won.

That's tough, man, when both of your schools are playing each other. It is. And they're just adjusting to the Big 12. You know, here's a team that I didn't play in the Big 12. And now they're playing in a bigger conference, so they're losing more games than they're used to losing. But they'll get there.

They got a good coach, but you can watch Eddie and I go and do running back drills and sit with Coach Satterfield, who I really liked. That was fun. All right, you want betting stats? Uh-oh. So going into the week, I was at minus $3,137 going into this week.

Well, that's not even the big number. I know, but it makes me feel bad. Well, and it mostly was for like one game that I went a little too hard on. Yeah. Is that money that game? I kept thinking the 40-9 would beat the freaking out. I was with you, dude. That was about two-thirds of that.

God. So here is this week, and I was in California, so I really couldn't bet that much. I had to bet pre-before I left. Total bets 11. Oh, that's an all-time low. For a week. Total wagered $930. Wow.

Good job, dude. Total winnings. $1,242. Yeah. Plus 312 in college. NFL. I got home Saturday night. So, but I was also feeling pretty poopy because that milk.

Creamer. So I did more, but it still wasn't crazy as far as, like, the number of bets. Total bets 14. Total wager, $2,010. Total winning is $2,441 for a grand total of plus $4.31. Okay. So on the weekend recap, I made 25 bets. I wager $2,940.

I won $3,683 for a total of $743 on the plus side. It's a good weekend. Nice. Remember, I was at 3137 minus. Yeah. So, right now, total bets for the year, 302. That's crazy. It's a lot of clicking.

Total wager, $45,149. Total winnings minus $2,300. $394. So I'm just trying to get back up to even at this point. You got this. That's stupid 49ers game, man. I didn't chase it all this week, though. Good. Good for you.

Did I? No, no, it's just funny because as I'm going through it, I'm like, yeah, he was definitely in California because there wasn't that many events going on. It was busy. He had stuff going on. Yeah. I did because I would have been all on it. I'd have been all on it.

If we're just doing a look back at the weekend and we roll through the games here,

Georgia beat Missouri, but I'm going to tell you, it was a little closer than I thought it would be. Georgia had to get an interception at the end, not to win it, but just to make sure they want it, to seal it, as they would say. But, Missouri fought. I never really thought they were going to win, but they fought. So there you go. Michigan whooped up on Purdue.

Blake Quorum had three touchdowns. It was a blowout. It was never really a game. Ohio State. That was a game a little bit. Ohio State Rutgers. Yeah, I didn't see much of it, but I was tracking it. And I was like, okay, they are keeping it close. Yeah, and then I watched it until I had to eat or something. Then I came back, and it was, they had pulled way ahead.

But Rutgers was making it a game a little bit. So Ohio State is They're the number one team in the country They won again. Florida State beat Pitt Not as bad as I think a lot of people thought they would But 24-7 Florida State Washington and USC played us

I bet the over at 104 At one point in the game Did you see me bet that? No Over 104 The over was set in-game at 104 I've never seen that And I only bet it because it was over 100

And I thought was hilarious They didn't hit it because it ended up being at 94 Wow But Washington wins 52 to 42 but yeah the I'd never seen an over under at a hundred and I bet the over at 104 just to have it just to say you did it just because it was special to I like it because I really didn't care about the game it had been fun to watch USC win because it would have also just done a wrench in Washington because I you're hating on Washington no I'm hating on him I just like to see chaos

in anything and if they had a loss and then they beat Oregon and or you know so yeah yeah yeah I see you yeah uh Oregon whooped up on 63 to 19. Kansas State, man. What a freaking game. I thought they had that game. Let's go. God dang.

Right here. Ema, baby. Ema, Ema, I think. Number seven, Texas, 33. Number 25, Kansas State, 30. It was, I believe it was 17-0-0-0-0-0. Maybe it was 13-9.

We were playing golf, and I was watching it with the Arkansas game. And I was like, oh, man. And I look, and they're marching. And all of a sudden, it's freaking tied up. They miss a field goal? Did they miss a field goal? At the end? Yeah, near the end.

They didn't take the field goal. No, I mean, before they went to overtime. I'm getting a lot of these games mixed up because I also... No, they did. I do remember. Oh, yeah, they missed... Kansas State missed a field goal, yes. Kansas State?

Also missed an extra point. Yeah, got it. And then they lost an overtime. And I... Yeah. Man, they almost had it. Mike, for your sake, I'm glad Texas won. It shouldn't have got to that point.

It just kept getting away a little bit, kept getting away a little bit. What is happening? Overtime? Alabama, whooped up on LSU late. The Oklahoma State Oklahoma game wasn't very well received to my family.

Oklahoma State wins 27, 24. So OU is now out of the talk for being in the national championship. Not that they had a lot to say, but they were still in the talk. Texas can still do it now, as long as they don't lose another game in a couple things fall,

Texas can still end up in that national championship game or the tournament. Ole Miss beat Texas A&M, but man, they held on. that game is just stupid. That game is drunk. Yeah, yeah. So that game they missed a field goal.

A&M missed a field goal. At the end. The Arkansas game, the Florida kicker missed a field goal. We made a field goal. A close one. Yeah. Not everyone has a Cam Little. Nope.

Crazy. NFL-wise. Chiefs beat the Dolphins 2114 from Germany. Early game. Tyreek fumbling that ball and the defense running it back. Crazy play. I don't know why I said defense. because it feels like soccer.

The defense running it back. That was great with the little pitch. Yeah, that was insane. Commanders and Patriots. Yep. The interception, man. Yep. Mike Jones interception, the end of the game.

I hear you. Drop balls are, but, it sucks. Yep. That sucks. Yep. Vikings beat the Falcons. Josh Dobbs.

Let's go, buddy. We love it. Browns whoop the Cardinals. Packers beat the Rams. Packers, everything they do is ugly. Win or lose. Jordan Love not the answer.

I don't think. It doesn't look like it. The Rams are terrible again. They don't have a quarterback. Now what does Sean McVeyne do? Lose! That's how I do. You can't, though.

You got at least try. I like how your answer is always lose. You never want to be in the middle. I know. You want to win, win, win. You imagine, though, if half the team just said, lose and they're like, all right. The team can't though. Because they're playing for contracts.

The Saints beat the Bears, the strip sack. Listen, the Bears are fighting. Is Justin Fields coming back this next week though? I hope so for my fantasy purposes. But me too. But also, if I'm the Bears, I'm losing. Lose! They could have two picks up at the top. Yeah.

I think they're the top two right now. They have the Carolina pick too. Yeah. Ravens killed the Seahawks. It was never a game. Texas beat the bucks. It was a good game and Stroud had basically 500 yards and five touchdowns. That dude. He's hot. He's big.

Yeah. He looks good. Like he's strong in the pocket. The Panthers and the Colts was a terrible game. Colts won. But Bryce Young threw three interceptions, but he doesn't have a receiver and he has an offensive line. So everybody's like, oh, look at pick one versus two.

And I agree a bit. But I think the Texans have a bit, just a bit more. than what the Panthers have. Yeah. As far as just... He just looks more comfortable. Stroud compared to Young. Yeah.

Well, Stroud has a bit of time, too, to throw. Right. Price Young has no time. And he's two foot tall. Yeah. And Miles Sanders, what's that signing? What the hell are we doing? How about the freaking Raiders?

Smoked him. Yeah, and I know Daniel Jones, damn herodem, Andrew Dayzeo. Whatever. But it's like Antonio Pierce comes in. Did you hear the stuff about behind the scenes? When Josh Daniel's like, don't talk about the Patriots like that.

Yeah, the Glazer story? Yeah. Wild. What happened? Tell me. Tell him, Kevin. It was something of the fact that they had a player's only meeting, or actually with coaches too last week, and they started saying, like, we got a buy-in.

Antonio Pierce, when he was on the Giants and they beat the 07 Patriots, he said, all we did was buy-in. We didn't care who we were playing, this and that. And so we got done with his speech, and then he got off the podium. And Josh McDaniel's like, don't ever talk about the Patriots like that again. I mean, Daniels was obviously the head coach was a boss. Yeah. And then they cut.

Wow. You tell the guys all the team really love Pierce. Yeah. He seemed smoking cigars. Yeah, I did. I saw it after the game. On Twitter, they were like they opened up the victory cigars. Cowboys and Eagles, we talked about that, which...

Sorry, Eddie. Hey, start losing. No. Just lose. No, not the Cowboys. Just tank. No. That Eagles D-Lines awesome, though.

You don't have to take... The five teams we talked about? Tank. Yeah. The Bengals beat the bills. Joe Burrow went off. I bet Mixing over 60-yard... or 64 yards rushing.

He didn't hit it. I bet Josh Allen over one and a half touchdowns didn't hit it. And after that first drive, I was like, here we go. Yeah.

Especially he scored like the second touchdown of the Bengals that was mixing. Yeah. He threw the first one. Yeah. Ran the second one.

I was like, we're in the money, baby. Yep. I got beat by a stupid Mike D's fantasy team. It's just terrible. Yeah,

I got my second win. Oh, good job, Mike. I scored like 60 points because I had Zay Flowers. I mean, I had everybody that did nothing. We have like the same team

I swear. Wait, I have Zay Flowers. Oh, my second of other team. I'm like, wait a second. Let me read my team here. Because nobody cares about your dream or fantasy. It's what I always say. Except you.

Yeah, except you. But I just want to see who did. I scored 76 points. Oh, my God. I suck so bad. Okay, here's who I had that did anything for me. Well, Lamar, I thought Lamar would have scored so much because they scored so many points.

He only put up 13 points. They ran the ball. Nakua has scored 6 points. Oh, man. Pickens in Pittsburgh scored 1.9 points. Oh, boy. Oh, it's one after the other. DJ Moore in Chicago scored 5.4 points.

It just had a bad week. It's stupid. The one thing you didn't have a bad week. I promise. What's my promise? Arkansas plus six. Oh, you duh. Nice work.

Thank you. Does check the promises then? promises promises Is anybody own any money Reid, what was your promise? We both had the Cowboys Oh, you guys both The points, but it was three

We needed two more See about 10 bucks going in? Yeah, man Yeah Kevin, I lost two I had Notre Dame minus three Which before the game I mean, they were without Shipley, Clemson

And three other starters I was like, great And then they just got boat race They don't play well on the road Notre Dame They just don't 30 bucks goes into the broken promises jar Yep.

And what week do we start to bet it out? 12 or 13? I don't know why I'm thinking 13. 13's good. 13. We're 13. Lucky 13. What week are we now?

9? 9. We're going into 10 next week. So 10, 11, and 12. We have three weeks left. And we can double up promises too. No, no, we're good. We're good like this, man.

I'm good. I'm good. All right. I would have felt better just putting $230 into the promise thing. At least you all can have my money. He sounds so sad. Oh, instead of your bet. We, the Cincinnati episode's up of too much access, but we went to BYU last week.

Do you want your ball? I brought it back for you. I saw you. Thank you. Yeah, I do want that. That's cool. Because if you don't, I'll keep it. No, no, no, I want that one.

They're the nicest people ever. Yeah. They're all so nice. That's just generally anybody I met that's Mormon is awesome. And I didn't realize how many players came out of BYU. I'm watching like, Taysom Hill. And like, you know, you remember. Oh, yeah, Steve Young.

Like, man, a lot of players. Andy Reed. Yeah. I didn't know that. McMahon. Jim McMahon. Zach Wilson. Zach Wilson is awesome.

Watching Kevin go through that trophy room was hilarious. He had his camera out like, oh look, I like that trophy. Take it in every picture of every trophy. It's like fantasy camp, isn't it? Yeah, it's amazing. Because you just like see these things on TV.

Yes. And then you see them in person, you're like, oh my gosh. We're hanging out with the BYU head football coach asking them questions. And I was just watched, I watched on my TV the last two years. One, we beat them.

They beat us this year. And even when we played him, I was like, I like, I like that guy. Yeah. And I think he was a little bit like, what are these guys up to? But he warmed up to us, don't you think? Oh, yeah. I think by the end of it, he was like, he hung out and was like talking with us afterwards. Yeah, he wanted to like go get lunch with you guys.

Yeah, because at first I think he was like, what the heck is going on here? I'm fine, I'll do it if PR says we should do it. And then by the end of it, he wasn't going anywhere. Like, he's just chilling. So that'll probably be out next week. But BYU lost. I don't understand because West Virginia was a 12. favorite over BYU, which I didn't even get anyway.

Yeah. And then BYU, you got crushed this last week. And I don't really, I don't know why. West Virginia's okay. They couldn't do anything offensively. Did you watch it? Yeah, I had it on that split screen.

It was on the bottom right and, who couldn't do anything offensively. Really? Yeah, anything. We'll get them next week, though, won't we boys? Yes. We have like nine teams now. I know.

And they're part of our family. They are part of the family. Hey, we'll fight for them until the dead. Let's go. That's right. Even the Panthers. I still pick them. Yeah, of course.

Even the Panthers, baby. We should do a parlay of all of our teams. Oh, hilarious. At least a money-line parlay, it would be cool. That's interesting. You mean a money-line? Like a, you mean spread? Just, yeah, no, no, no, no.

Just, um. Straight-up win the whole. Dude, we would make so much money if they all won. No, no, but that's, we won't win. Yeah. You don't know that. Hey, UNLV went one again. Dude, they are on a heater.

Uh, no, because they lost last week, I think. Yeah, they lost two. They're one loss. No, they have two losses. Oh, they have two. Yeah. I mean, they could be ranked, but I don't think so. I don't think they finally got ranked.

Oh, Arizona. They did. James Madison? Which, they can't go to a ballgame, right? Oh, I don't know. Why? Because isn't it their first year in FBS? I wouldn't doubt that.

Like, check that out from just me looking inside of my brain. James Madison is ineligible this year. Because? NTA's FBS, Transdense. transition period requirement. One year? One year? Maybe two.

I don't know if it's one or two, but I knew there's a, but yeah, they're awesome. So then Sam Houston State couldn't go in. Okay, I got you. No, but they're not. I know, but yeah, I got you. That's probably why they're not trying. That's why they're not trying so hard. All right, we're done.

That's the whole show today. If anybody has a final thought, you can let me know. I'll go with this tonight, Monday night. College basketball starts. That was my final thought. Well, we can do it together, buddy. Hold my hand and let's talk about it. Let's talk about it because games probably are on right now.

10 a.m. they started. And we need to go like 20 game parlays. That's what I love about college basketball. 20 game parlay. But you're betting a dollar. Yeah, sometimes 50 cents if it's really big. Like, I would do a 20 gamer for a dollar. Let's go, dude.

That's fine. That's fun. I do almost a five game NFL or I barely missed this last week. What did I miss? Oh, Tampa winning from hitting that five game NFL parlay. Because I had the Bears plus nine. I had whatever. I expect Kevin to know.

But only I didn't bet that much this weekend. How much do you put in that parlay? That was like the smallest amount by far. Yeah, it was like 50 bucks or something on the parley. 50 bucks on a fiber. And I missed because Tampa ended up losing that game. But that's how it goes. That's the way the steak shicks.

Man, we went to. Wait, what? That's the way that. I've never heard that. Yeah. We went to a fall party this weekend. Like one of our neighbors had a fall party. And it's tough because.

A lot of people were just like, oh, let's talk, let's chat. And I'm watching games. Like, oh, my gosh, this is the last. Because, you know, it's the last quarter of, like, the 11 o'clock games. Where it's like, oh, this is crunch time. Let's see what the parley's are hitting. And then the 3 o'clock games come around. The 2 o'clock games come around.

It's that last quarter. You're talking NFL or are you talking? College. College. College is the chaotic day for me because I got parley's going all day. You got nickel here, nickel there. Hey, man. But if I hit those, dude, you're talking.

But you've never, but you've never hit one. Not a thousand dollar one. You sound like lunchbox in the lottery. The most, I've hit, I've hit a $200 one. Not like five years ago. Okay. And it was awesome. That would be awesome.

I was in New York City. That would be awesome. And my wife and I were walking. I'm like, we need to get to the hotel now. I'm about to hit a parlay. And I'll never forget. And when you hit a parlay. It's like that house we've been looking at, get it.

Yeah. When you hit a parlay like that, you'll never forget the game you're watching. Or like, who, what team? One, I want a $150 parlay. And there was Cleveland that wanted for me, the Browns. And then that big one was Texas. That last game was Texas. That's awesome.

It's awesome. I never forget it. The one, I think last year, I had bet a nine game college parlay, and I ended up winning like $1,900. And I kept putting it up going, should I take it? Should I, every time Eddie would apply, cash out. Cash out. Because I never hit him.

Cash out. I didn't cash out. I ended up winning. No, I've lost a couple of those two. Yeah. But that was, you're right. That's a good one. That's so much fun.

That's a good one. Reed, do you have any thoughts at all? I was honestly thinking, you kept using my putter while we were playing golf. Have you thought any more about if you thought any more about, you're going to switch putters or not? Well, here's the thing about Reed's putter. Huh. Reed's putter was my putter.

Oh. I'm left-handed, and I have a deal with Cobra. And so I just give Reed clubs, new clubs, you know, whatever. And then I just hate the mallet putter now. So I just started using Reed a little bit, and I was putting a lot better. And Reed was like, man, you can just have it back.

And I'm like, no, I'm not going to give you something to take it back. You keep your putter. I'll just order another one, buy another one, whatever I got to do. But, yeah, I'll probably get a bigger putter. That's what I figured. Yeah. But we had a great time playing golf.

Bigger, fatter grip. Fatter grip, fatter head. I don't like the simple mallet. It's just, I'm just all over the place with it. Sure. You need a little more weight. Yeah, I need more substance, you know? So when you have a deal with Cobra, like, you have to submit your scores.

I don't submit my scores. Submit your scores. I can't even say it with a straight face. It's just funny having to deal with Cobra. Like, I wonder if you should send them your 18 birdies? Like, it's just a screenshot. Hey, man, I know we got a deal. I just want to keep you updated with my game.

I don't want to do. do that. Although I've been getting better. I've been getting better. You have been getting better. It sucked because now it's a winner. Yeah. But I haven't getting better.

But yeah, I got to get a new putter. I went out to ARC, my club, finally open. How was it? How's it playing? It's brand new. Yeah, no, but it's not. It's like somebody that's had surgery.

Like, it's going to be really good once it all heals up. Oh, really? And they're able to walk around and, you know. But it's like brand new pair of shoes? Yeah. It's good and cool and nice. They've changed a little stuff, but it's not. But still, it's,

It won't be awesome until next spring, probably, but it is nice to have that club open. And I know people love this conversation, but the Greens, are they still fast? They're new, so they're pretty fast. Nice. But, again, I didn't feel like it was anything crazy, or I didn't really value it as that because I know it's going to change again. It's going to grow. But, yeah, that's it. Kevin, you're playing it all?

I haven't played in a while. No, I think the last time I went was with you guys. You got a brand-new side of clothes from Cobra? I know. I know. Yeah, I don't. Just defining the time and the date and everything. Dude, tell me about it.

We did play three times, though. We played Monterey Peninsula Country Club. It was like a top 50 course in America. We played the preserve, which there's no cell phone. I mean, what you get in the gate and there's another 25 minutes, but there's no cell the whole way. Oh, really? Yeah, and you're like this. Oh, my God.

It's awesome. So beautiful. It was awesome. How to read play? I didn't play too great. I didn't play too great. It's fine. No, we didn't put any pressure on us.

We just had fun. No, I did not care, though. That's the one time that I can shoot terribly, and it'd be the best experience of my life. Because I was telling my girlfriend, I was like, I am probably never going to experience golf like this ever again. So this was incredible. And went to Spanish Hills?

Spanish Bay. Spanish Bay. Yeah, where we go, whatever. And then it was on the ocean. Yeah, it looked unbelievable. It's all. I don't know what to say, except it was awesome. That's all I'll say.

That's cool, man. we had to go on dates though with guys we didn't know oh yeah yeah yeah yeah because you can't get on some of those courses without knowing a member because you can't pay to get on right and so had people like hey I know this guy you should

I'll tell him to take you out so you basically are on a blind date you're like hey how's it going but they were good dates right they ended up being good dates yeah we got late both times good good for you guys well the equivalent of that
