You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. God bless football, Billy Gill. God bless football, Mikey. God bless football, Stu Gatz. We are loaded today, Billy. We are loading. We have Chris Sims, we have Austin Echler, Mike Goliak, Breeze Hall is gonna be on the show. Me and Mikey are very excited for this,

and we have Brent Key, the head coach of Georgia Tech. I'm gonna try to get it out of Georgia Tech. I'm going to try to get it out of a Billy. I just want to know if he was laughing when Mario, Chris, of all decided not to take a knee against Georgia Tech. Do you think he's going to tell you that? No. I know. Okay. Very good. Billy, what are you looking forward to this weekend? College football or the NFL? We have a big game this weekend. Dolphins and Eagles. Sunday night football. We're going to get destroyed. Oh my god That's that's that's not sorry. Jesse D

This week is Jesse goes. Yeah, sorry. I got confused. I'm sorry. I got ahead of myself. What are you looking forward to Billy? What am I looking forward to? I Guess I'm looking forward to some college football. I feel like that you and UNC game has potential for being hilarious if something goes Wrong in that one, the way it went wrong last week. So that could be fun because I have friends that are fans of both schools. So like either way, people that I know will either be happy or will be miserable.

So it has a potential for being funny in both directions. Because both teams are very confident that they're going to win this game, which is like, it's never good when both teams are certain they're going to win that game. Agreed. North Carolina should have some confidence. I'm not certain Miami should. But you have friends at North Carolina, huh? I have, yeah, multiple North Carolina friends, surprisingly. You know what? This has been worried about, and this is probably strange, because everyone's been looking forward to it.

I'm worried about what a 12 team playoff is going to look like next year to be honest with you because what I'm realizing is a lot of bad teams are going to get into that 12 team playoff and you're going to have the potential for like star players on real teams getting hurt or just random teams making it through. And I feel like we're not gonna be getting what people want. I agree with you. There's also this factor. I don't like, I think college football has it down perfectly.

Their regular season feels like at times they feel like playoff games. For instance, this weekend, you have Oregon and Washington playing and that feels like a de facto playoff game. It feels like a play in game. The winner will have a chance to make it to the playoff and the loser likely won't make it to the college football playoff.

You are taking that out of college football when you when you have a 12 team playoff. And so I'm with you, Billy. Like I'm not I think it's going to be bad for college football. I know people are excited about it. Like you know, goal is excited about it because Notre Dame always has two or three losses, you know, but it takes some of the sting away from some of these big games. Like USC has a must win game this weekend at Notre Dame.

They have to win it. If they don't win it, they're not going to the college football playoff. And therefore, I think a 12-D playoff is a really bad idea. You're right, Billy. Your car line is 12, by the way, right now. Okay, so Carolina, most people would say they're probably deserving of being in the playup, but Mike, give me like 1110, or give me higher if you don't mind.

So you got nine Texas 10 UNC 11 Alabama 12. That's where you lose to gots on this is number 11 right there. Who's 13 though? Who's 14? Ole Miss. Okay, so Billy, you're right. Like I don't think anyone views Ole Miss as an elite team in college football, but Ole

Miss would get into the playoff under, well, would have a good chance of getting to the playoffs in this scenario. Billy, there's half the season left. They could get it. I suppose, I mean, I think it would be fun for Lane Given to get into the playoff. So, this is a bad argument that I'm making now because it would exclude Lane when he's right there. So let me ask you this.

Do you think it should save four then? Because I think four was no good. I'm with you, that 12 is probably too much, but I think four is, I would play it. I always like six. You know what's weird about the four is that even in the four in some of these years we get to a match I mean you're like yeah this fourth team should not be in this like this is a waste of a game and now we're gonna have

12 teams. Yes, and it's always Oklahoma or Notre Dame. I mean geez. Right, we can barely scratch out four good teams and now we're gonna try to scratch out 12. Billy, do we have a fantasy game this week? We do have a fantasy game compete against us in weekly fantasy. Go to decayng.co slash levitard $3 buy in. You can win some money. I won last week.

Why didn't win the whole thing? I got like 30th place, but I got like $10. So, congratulations. Yeah, that'll have me covered for the next couple of weeks. I have a game that I want to play with you guys throughout the episode today. And as you guys mentioned. I have a game that I want to play with you guys throughout the episode today And as you guys mentioned we have a loaded show particularly on audio on the video side We're gonna talk to Chris and we're gonna talk to Austin Echler on the audio side

We're gonna talk to the head coach of Georgia Tech. We're gonna talk we're gonna make our weekly picks We're gonna have Carl Douglas come back. He had a huge week last week. He went 401 We're gonna talk to Austin Echler. We're gonna talk to Breeze Hall. We're're going to talk to Chris Sims. We're going to talk to Golem. We have a lot of people on the audio side on the video side. We have Sims and we have Echler, which is great. Now, here's a game that I want to play throughout the episode and see if you guys can kind of catch this theme that I'm doing. I'm going to see how many teams I can suggest to the guest that Kirk Cousins is a great fit for. to the guest that Kirk Cousins is a great fit for. Okay, that's the game.

Yeah, it's because here's the thing. We saw this. It's not that I'm obsessed with Kirk Cousins. It's that you guys threw out there that Kirk Cousins could be traded to the Jets and that would be a great fit. And I scoffed at that and I said, that's ridiculous. Why would they do that? And then the news came this week that Colt McCoy was being worked out by the Vikings,

which seems like if they're working on veteran quarterbacks, there may be a quarterback move made at some point, right? Listen, you don't work out Colt McCoy unless you're about to make a move, okay? Yeah, but you also don't start Colt McCoy, so what is the move? I don't know.

It was a dumb thing to say. I just don't like saying it. Well, so anyway, so you want to play this game? Yeah, so I want to find the best fit for him, What is the move? I don't know. It was a dumb thing to say. I just like to say. Well, so anyway, so you want to play this game? Yeah, so I want to find the best fit for him. But the problem is, is that I've kind of caught on to our analyst that come on and talk football with us. And then I like to play the games that I like to play.

And none of them like to think that Kirk Cousins is going to be moved, particularly with some of the suggestions that I made. Because I'm thinking outside the box, I'm seeing what team can use a Kirk Cousins right now. You know? What team do you think could use a Kirk Cousins? There's a, I mean, the jets are right there.

I feel like the Steelers are there. I'm not told on Kenny Pickett. I don't know how you guys feel about Kenny Pickett. I feel like that could be a fit. Who couldn't use a first-bounded Hall of Famer right now? That's what I'm saying. Chris Sims is not a fan of any of your games, huh? That appears to also be a theme that I've cut onto.

Is that Chris Sims doesn't really like my games. All right, if you're watching on television, Chris Sims is going to join us next. If you're listening on audio, I have no idea who's joining us next. We're very excited about this. Breeze Hall is joining us. New York Jets. When you said you were playing without limitations, holy shit, you are a joking man.

Congratulations to you, buddy. I appreciate it. Thank you. It meant it meant a lot. Just go out there. It's really show what I can do and just help the team win. 22 carries a hundred and seven yards. One touchdown. Was that the best game you've ever had?

I mean, in the NFL, yeah, but in my life now, what was the best game you've had in your life? Uh, in high school, one game, it was really cold. And our quarterback, he had small hands. And he couldn't throw the ball. I think I had like 32 carries for like 366 yards. What? Six touchdowns. Yeah. But what do you mean he had small hands? Like they just was, were they not throwing because his hand for small and it was good or because you were so good and it was cold out. No, it was cold out and I think he could ingripped the ball well enough to like really throw it how we, how we wanted to throw because we like to really like we were a vertical passing team.

And he couldn't grip it to like get the zip on of that he wanted to so we were just run ahead. So we were just one heavy day game. Breeze, I said last year when you went down Because you were such a big part of the offense and such a great player and so much fun to watch that When you sustain the injury, I said that's it the jet seasons are rap. It's over because you opened up a lot for your quarterback You do and so I'm wondering from a mental and physical standpoint can you kind of take us through When you went down with the injury and what you went through to get back to what you did last week and what that must have felt like? Yeah, when it happens, you know, I just remember getting the toss and running and I try to cut up and I just remember. Just like I'm trying to cut like slowing down trying to cut up and following on the ground and I felt that something happened but I didn't think it was anything serious because I never really had a serious injury before.

And when we go get an X-ray, the X-ray was fine and the docs started moving my knee a whole bunch to see if it was still intact and everything. And that's how I found it out for it. And then just like throughout the rehab process, you just go through a lot of good days and bad days and days where like, you know, you see yourself getting better than days where like your knees telling you okay, you work, you work, you're working too hard or like you overworked me and you really sore, you can't really do anything. So it was just a lot of mental barriers, you got to break and then the hardest part was probably those weeks before they were letting me get back into practice just just sitting there on the sideline watching watching guys the whole time.

And then you got to break a mental barrier coming back and really playing football again, dealing with your knee getting sore. And then for me, I had crossed everything, but I hadn't been hit. Like the coaches weren't allowed, nobody had hit me. So I didn't get my first hit until the first game. So then once I got hit the first time, I was like, okay, I'm good. So it was like a whole bunch of mental barriers that you got to break. Bree, so I'm watching one Jet's Drive, the documentary about you.

And it looks like the rehab process for an injury like that is like the loneliest thing in the world. It's just you and your trainer just after hours before practice and stuff. Like how much does that prepare you to like, to deal with this kind of season? I'd say like being here the whole off season, they definitely sucked. Like I don't think anybody would want to stay in

and have to rehab and not be able to spend time with their family alive and not be able to travel how they want, how they want to. So it definitely sucked, but it was just good for me to figure out like really realize how mentally and physically tough I was, how I was able to push through stuff even when I was hurting and stuff like that and then being with my trainer Bobby Daplin, who was my guy the whole time me, me and him, like, we got into it a lot and we're arguing a lot, but it also helps strengthen our relationship at the same time. So it was good for both of us. were you nervous right before that first hit like were you thinking about it? Um, no, I was kind of just I'll have so much adrenaline and stuff, but I was kind of just like, you know,

let's go. No, the first carry they let me, they let me get the 30 yard run. I was like, all right, I'm good. Like that's all I needed right there. There's obviously great expectations coming into the season with air and here with some of the weapons that you guys have with you coming back. And then we see air and go down the first game of the season with Aaron here with some of the weapons that you guys have with you coming back And then we see Aaron go down the first game of the season. So going back to training camp How did that guy get that goldfish and Aaron's hand?

We were in the freeze for you in the room. Yeah, yeah, that was crazy I couldn't even like we were all sitting there watching it. And, you know, you try to stay as locked in as you can. And it happens. You still don't know. Like, you have no idea. Like, you know, people like that. I'm a big guy who's like, I'm real interested in just talent.

Like, if somebody can do something that I can't do, I'm intrigued by it. So, like, just watching that whole thing happens is crazy. The thing with that, those like, I feel like if you see certain things, you're like, I have an idea of how that worked, right? But if I were to see that and see this fish just appear in his hands, when there's no way that that could have happened, I feel like I'd be walking around

not being able to trust anyone for a while, you know? Yeah, it's crazy. Then you know like, no one in Aaron, I know Aaron was trying to like throw him off of his game and maybe say, oh, you got this wrong or this wrong and Trying to like mess with him a little bit, but he stayed he stayed locked in and he did his things over school to see Are you buying that Aaron's coming back this year? You're not buying that or he that's crazy I'm not gonna put anything out there in the air, but you know, I say for a guy like him anything's possible that mental is though

Like like breeze that was he also had you guys in the Super Bowl, I believe, right? Yeah. Yeah. How do you feel about that right now? I mean, that's cool, but you know, we've only played four games, five games this year. So we still got a 12 more to go and then plus a playoff. So we'll see Billy, why you get mad at me? Because I tried to set him up for a question there. Like, what were you doing?

I believe in my jets. I believe in this team. I believe in Zach Mosin I think they're still getting to the Super Bowl on the mentalists. That's what I'm trying to say. I believe in you, please. I felt like you were trying to lead him to say that he that he was not feeling good about that because of the injuries It's a terrible position to put breeze before you came on. I said guys. How do you honestly feel about breeze hall? And they both said we love Breeze Hall. And I feel like if you actually love Breeze, you wouldn't be putting him in that position.

That's the breeze. Did you feel like I was trying to put you in a position? I mean, no, it was a little smoke there. I felt a little bit. Thank you. I didn't mean it. I mean, it was unintentional and I love you. I'm sorry, okay?

I'm sorry. Luciana, now you're good. All you can do is apologize when you make I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry. Lucien, you're good. All you can do is apologize when you make a mistake. You're an asshole, Billy. Oh, Brace, do you think you're better now than you were before the injuries? Is that even possible?

I don't think I'm there. Yeah, I think eventually I will be, but I don't think I'm there yet. I'm still still getting like 100% comfortable with my knee and everything like that. And you know, it's like a new barrier that I'm there yet. I'm still still getting like 100% comfortable with my knee and everything like that. And you know, it's like a new barrier that I break every week.

And I do a crazy joker, make a crazy cut and stuff like that that I get more and more comfortable with it. And it's still getting stronger every week. And it's just been a blessing to not have too many hiccups and not have to take any steps back and everything. So it's like every week I'm just getting stronger. So I think it's been a positive for sure. You were born in Omaha, you grew up in Utah.

It's on wondering what it was like, like the first couple of days in New York. What was that like for you? It was cool just being in the city and stuff like that. But I'm a big, like, I'm not a loner, but I enjoy my own company. So like being around a whole bunch of people and stuff isn't like really my thing.

Like I'm low key laid back. And so like going to Times Square and like all that's it like it's cool for first time experience but like and then nothing I really want to do again you know it's like okay that's good I got some pictures you know have fun and everything but you know as much as I enjoy being around a whole bunch of people I enjoy my own company too. You only need to see that place once you're right Brice that's it yeah the pictures you're good you don only need to see that place once. You're right, Breeze. That's it. Yeah. The pictures are good. You don't need to go back there. Yeah. From there. Okay. Exactly. Anything else about New York City? Well, it must have been daunting though, right? Such a big place.

So many people. I was just talking to some of the some of our staff down. I want to go see the big Christmas tree. Right. They're really I haven't going to go see that. But people say that's a technique too. So I'm trying to get out there pretty early and take some pictures and walk around and maybe go to a nice restaurant and eat with some of my teammates or some friends or something. And that would be cool too. Breeze, last week we were making a big deal about the Hackett Revenge game going

to Denver. Did you guys feel that or was that something that we kind of just blew up in the media? No, I don't think anybody really made it too big of a deal about it. You know, the coach said somewhere, is that some stuff that he felt that he needed to say and Hacke just stayed humble, said quiet about it and didn't really care. And we went out, we won, the better team, the better coach won, and that's what sort it was. He said that it wasn't a huge deal for the H the hack game, but you guys made him a captain.

Like that's not a common thing, right? Where the coach is an honorary captain for a game. Danielis. I don't know. I just, I just show up. But I just, wasn't your call, breeze. It was a little absurd.

I mean, it's tight. I love you. I'm just a little absurd. I'm just I love it. I Brice tell me we're gonna make the playoffs. Okay, we are all suffering jet fans Because if you tell us, Brice, I'll believe you because I'm serious. Tell us we're gonna make the playoffs Just tell just tell me you might just between us. Hey, we're gonna make the playoffs God will make God willing we make the playoffs, you know I have the confidence

in our offense and our defense, I special teams. So with that, and yeah, I think that we can make the playoffs. Sure. All right. I promise you, I'm not trying to put you in a bad spot. No smoke here. I'm just asking if you're older. If you think you're older, it looks a little ridiculous with that bling on. Like just a little hair. I agree. I don't answer that. I think he not. Okay. I'm just going to say it. I'll just ignore him. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I like to watch movies and TV shows, but by the time really football, I don't really want to go do anything outside of going home because I'm so tired. So I can go home, my cheese snack and some Oreos and milk, turn the video game on, play video games and watch a movie before I go to sleep and then repeat it the next day.

What's your favorite movie? I like psychological thrillers. My favorite movie. It's probably this magician movie called Now You See Me. So then you definitely have to be trying to figure out the fish thing. No, I don't know. It could be some type of like dark magic or something that goes into that. Now you see me was kind of messed up. Did you see now you see me too? Not as good as the first one.

Now you see me as a little messed up. And I like like Harry Potter stuff like that too. So that's okay. Yeah. How about on the Oreos though Billy? You got double stuff. I go double stuff. Yeah, I'm a double stuff.

Double stuff every time. Yeah, you can't go normal Oreos. Yeah, if you can't get the mega stuff. Nah, nah, nah, nah. Nah. For the If you can't get the mega stuff. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. The class of milk though. Of course, Mikey had something in on his coaching college. Oh, yeah. No. Every time that we get some coaching openings in the NFL, your, your former coach, Matt Campbell, his name comes up. Do you want to see him come to the NFL or do you think like that's not going to happen? What do you think? Honestly, I don't think it is just because he's kind of like set in stone in the aims and

he has young kids and his kids are just reaching in the middle school, high school. So they're still growing up. But I don't think in that aspect, he wants to just pick up and move. So I think not within the next probably like five years, but maybe soon. All right, Bruce. Hey, we really appreciate this. Appreciate your time. I mean, it's a busy time for you. Good luck this weekend. Good luck the rest of the way. And I got to tell you, it's a long time jet fan.

It really was great seeing you do what you did last week against them. Thank you for that. Yeah, thank you for that. It was really cool to see. It was anytime anytime. All right. We appreciate. Copy the Eagles, man. Let's Thank you. All right. We appreciate co-be the Eagles man Let's do it right yes Chris inches with us pft with Mike Flurry every day on peacock the unbutton podcast as well football night in America

Chris I have a question for you football question believe it or not So a report came out that the Vikings worked out cult McCoy Which is leading fuel to the fire that Kirk Cousins may get traded. Something here or nothing? I think it's nothing still. You know, I don't, you know, one, I don't think the Vikings are at the point

where I would throw in the towel quite yet. They're not there yet. Now, I know the Justin Jefferson injury is adding a little more intrigue to this situation. But then I think the other part of me is like, okay, we have the jets where if it falls apart for Zach Wilson, maybe okay, they trade for Kirk cousins, but like where else?

What's the market? Where everybody gonna go week eight and go bam, we need Kirk cousins, we need him now. And he's the future of our organization. I mean, barring a crazy injury here, I just, I don't see that happening here, you know, right now. I don't know. Patriots?

I don't. Maybe, but are they gonna, like, what for, like, first off, I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel for the Patriots. and I don't think he fixes their problem. Like I don't look at it, but well, damn, they got Kirk Cousins now. It's all good. They're gonna turn it around, right? And then, you know, for what?

Like, how much are you gonna trade? And what, like, is Mr. Kraff gonna let Bella check, mortgage the future of the franchise and a guy where Bella check might not even be there and we're not even sure he's the future quarterback there. So that's where I guess I don't really see it happening. Sims, can you explain the Steelers and my Tom one? They're three and two. Like what the f***?

I mean seriously. Well, I mean, it's not, it is crazy. The last two home games, they won. They were severely outplayed. Yes. And one was because of Deshaun Watson playing as bad as bad as I've ever seen him play. And then the mist throws some turnovers all together by their football team. And then last week, I mean, yeah, they won the game and I give them credit for hanging around and

doing all that. But that was a, if we all sat there and watched it together, you'd go, oh my gosh, the Raven should have won this by 20 points. Right. I mean, it was a debacle. It really was. I mean, the Ravens, it was a master class and how to screw up a football game. I mean, flowers, Zayflowers dropped a big pass on the first ride.

Second drive, they do whatever they want and score a touchdown. The next drive, they go right down the field goal and settle for a field goal and have two drop touchdown passes on that drive. They're moving the ball again and Justice Hill gets stripped. They are horrible at the end of the first half, right? They're in field goal range. I don't know if the center was supposed to snap

and not whatever else. They come away with no points on a fourth and two. So there's more drops. Another drop touchdown on the second half. I don't know if the center was supposed to snap and not whatever else they come away with no points on a fourth of them too Right, so there's that there's more drops another drop touched down in the second half Then the interception in the end zone by Lamar right so I mean it was just one thing after another and I don't feel necessarily confident in the Steelers. I know they're they're battle tested and tough But I don't look at it and go man. they're close. They're gonna turn the corner here I hear you, but I'm confident in that coach. I

Am too. I mean Tom was always gonna rally the troops where I'm not confident is the offensive coordinator coach where that I just still see You know a very simple and then not a lot of answers on offense and I don't think you can just go Well, we'll just rely on the team we're playing this week to mess it up. They'll drop wide open passes and all that. And that's the me what kind of happened in the last game. The Ravens must have been sick watching the film of that game back on Monday morning.

No, Deb. It's been interesting to watch at least this season through five games, I guess, Justin Fields because got off to a terrible star crash. But the last two weeks, he's played the position nearly perfect as well as you can actually play it. What is happening? What are they doing differently with Justin Fields? And he's not running the ball, Chris.

Yeah. No, I think, well, one a little bit like we've had conversations with Zach Wilson, they're just, they finally are opening it up and just going, wait, like we got to take the training wheels, we just got to be aggressive and either he sinks or swims, right? But either way, we're going to find out when we know here. And I think you're like, you're saying it right, he's staying in the pocket better, he's seeing the field better, you know, slowly but surely gained some confidence. I think in that Broncos football game to go, okay You know, they're finding ways to feature a guy that I've been telling everybody's a superstar for the last two years in DJ

Boer. I mean, he's a superstar. He just got stuck in a bad situation in Carolina But yeah, I think I'm like I couldn't be happier for just some feels the way he's throwing the football the decisions he's making Really impressive and I'm expecting that to continue into next week. Listen, they got a decent run game, like you said, hopefully they can expand the quarterback run game. They got a good tight end, a good running back, and mooney along with DJ Moore is a damn good duo and receiver. So there's some potential there for them to make some waves on that off inside of the ball. Yeah, they play the Vikings this week. So that's going to be an interesting game.

Another guy who's, I guess, fans have been critical of, but kind of answered the questions last week. A Desmond Ritter. Like I thought Chris, I watched a lot of that game. I had money on it. They're three and two. Ritter had a really, really good game. Like what's your evaluation of him as a quarterback? Well, it's the first game that I've gone, okay, there's Desmond Ritter. It looks like a starting quarterback, right? Yes.

Yeah. There we go. You know, I, you talk about a pressure moment. I think that was a game that if he doesn't play well that you're going to hear like maybe we should start Taylor Hyni King and all that. But Stu Gotch, you're exactly right. They got an awesome offman's align.

We know they can run the ball and their defense is a top 10 defense and football. You know, the only thing that was missing was going, wait, they can't live in the Stone Age here. We got to start throwing the football ball more and making some plays in the past game. There was two things that I watched the film back of that game. One, Ritter was aggressive and decisive. And I mean that even with his throws. Like the first thing I said when I watched it, I wrote it down, I want the first thing I notice

is Ritter is letting it go, throwing within authority, throwing it through the target. I mean, he was throwing balls with real pace on the ball. To me, a lot of the times he's a, oh gosh, was he open and he passed the ball and he throws it real nice and soft and tries to place it on the ball. To me, a lot of the times, he's a, oh gosh, he's open and he passed the ball and he throws it real nice and soft and tries to place it on the target. And oh, bam, it got knocked down

because the ball hung in the air for seven seconds. I saw this one going, no, I'm gonna throw the fastball here. I'm not gonna second-guess myself. I saw that, let alone. I think when you couple that with first down passing and playing from a position of power again, a little, right? I think so many times coaches and they all make the mistake of, hey, we're going to manage the quarterback, right?

And what do they do when they manage it? They make it simple. They throw a lot of routes that are short. And I can speak to that as a quarterback, you're like, well, damn, the deep ends is just playing downhill. We got six, five guys all at six yards. Hey, coach for six yards, I got to really fit that into tight windows and you're calling basic plays that the deep ends have seen all training camp all spring. You know, you're not giving me any help here.

They had some game plans specific throws and play action passes to kind of jumpstart him a little bit. And I think that was important. Another team that I would say took the training wheels off and said, all right, it's do or die. We got to see, is he the starting quarterback? Are we going to manage this thing and look like a first grade offense all the time? And they let it go and he answered the bell in a big way.

Did the Cowboys get exposed or was that just a one-week kind of ass weapon? Well, no. I mean, this would be like something that if you listen to my podcasts, right? I've been taught. The Cowboys are so simple in office. It's totally reliant on the Jimmy's and the Joves, right? And I know everybody's going to get on Dac Presscott, and I would encourage anybody to listen to Chris Simms' Unbutton from my Wednesday, what the f*** happened podcast?

Because I drew a few diagrams of plays, I talked about it, it's always been a simple offense, right? It, Kelvin Moore, they were a little more aggressive about pushing the ball down the field. The thing they're doing when McCarthy this year is run the ball and they're throwing the ball short a lot. And that is made Dak Prescott be efficient and they've been, you know, high completion percentage of move the ball that way. But like, like simple basic, we don't motion, we don't shift and then have a simple, like

round tree with everybody, that ain't gonna be the San Francisco 49ers. Are you kidding me? I mean, you know, like, look on my social media later today. You're gonna see two plays that I drew up. Two of the first three passes, the game are like, oh, the 49ers saw that in the first day of OTAs in April. They're like, whoa, three guys ran straight. Holy, coach, call a timeout.

Let's have a game plan. They all ran straight, coach. What do we do? What do we do to defend? Like, are you kidding me? Another throw is like, oh, it's a backside slant. The guy running a hitch and the guy running a pointer. In an eye formation, whoop deep in do.

So there's no avenue for Dak Press dot to succeed in a game like that. There was nobody open, so the I wrote, the Cowboys will never be able to beat the 49ers with that pass game approach unless they can run the football. And I don't think they're going to ever be able to run the ball in the 49ers. They're going to beat a lot of teams the way they play because they're more talented, but they're not going to beat the really good teams of football. It's just two basic and simple, and that would be the thing that bothered me about the

game, Mike. Yeah. Is it down to Dak and Joe Burrow for being the quarterbacks? I guess in the worst spot because of the simplified offensive approach, or is there someone else that's in that conversation? The one thing I'll give the bandals credit for, like watching game back on film They're trying they're expanding. It's slowly, but surely They are and you know how I said to you guys last week, right? A really good offense has to be really good at something Right, what are you a leap at to get the game plan to go whoa?

They do this and we got to stop it the bangles, we're gonna be the best short-passing team in football and every play we call it's gonna be for Jamar Chase. That's what we've kinda seen here the last two weeks, especially last week, and I'd go, okay, there's a start, right? Now, oh wait, this week, the C-Option, look at it, go, damn, they'll carve you up with a short pass of game. We need to get up there, damn, we need to double Jamarar Chase. And that's going to open up a whole bunch of other things

in their offense. So no, I would say the Cowboys are in Dak Prescott are fighting even a more uphill battle than the Bengals. Now they can protect better the Dallas Cowboys that the Bengals can. They're better this week than the Bengals, but I think the offense is still more imaginative and going more in the right direction in that sense and since an added an endowus. Do you agree with Orlovsky when he says that Mac Jones would look a lot better playing for the San Francisco 49ers than the Patriots? Well, you guys know me, it's worse. I agree with him. I'm not trying to say like, Mac Jones would be better than Brock彈, or anything like that. But yes, I mean, this is what this is the theme of us

talking. Let's put this guy here. And you think he won't look as good on this all-star team. And you think he this one's going to look as good with this offense and slow receivers and offense align that camp block and not a good running game. I mean, yes. What are you smiling at just taking all of that? I was honestly trying to figure out where I could put Kirk Cuzin's next I'm going to say Chris is so sick of life. San Francisco. And then this is where, you know, I know MVP conversations and all that. And it's where like I even said this on my podcast this week too.

Like I'm just so sick of the MVP going to the the quarterback on the best team. Convenient here for this take. Well, well, yeah, because the most valuable player on your offense is Tyree Kill. I mean, period. I mean, duh. It's not even close. All right. And the most valuable player in the 49ers offense is Christian McCaffrey. It's not even close. So that's the thing I'm gonna pound the table for all year. I'm gonna, I'm sick of this. The best, that they shouldn't even call the MVP. They should just call it the quarterback

on the best team award. That's what it's become. Your dad would back to differ. I mean, I mean, your dad believes into him. Well, my dad and like me again, because that's what it is. He knows that that offense is awesome. He's gonna put the stats up.

He's playing great. I'm not trying to take away from that. The most valuable player on that team is Tyree Kill. Come on, he changes everything. Everything. You get the throw a screen over here and he runs across the field enough to sidelines or 70 yards Like who the fuck has that luxury come on nobody insane Chris

I know you watch the film so I ask you this how do the dolphins make running the football look so easy Oh, I well he's from Shanahan, right? Right so there's real genius and what they do in the attack right? It's not just like hey, this looks cool and we'll send this guy in that way like we always talk about there's rhyme and reason to the attack their masters at stressing the guys who has to set the edge in the running game right so there's always one guy that's in charge of hey Don't let anybody outside of you. You have to funnel it back inside. And they find a million ways like Shana-Anne does to kind of expose that usually, right?

And then if you overplay that, then they will start running up the middle. They have a great combination of, if you play too deep and you're worried about Tyreeke and Wato go deep, right? They can run the ball. And then if you play, wait, we're gonna crowd the middle of the field because Tuva hits all these quick play action

passes over the middle, boom, boom, boom, boom. Well, then they cram you in there and throw it outside too. So that's their formula. Like you're gonna play too deep and you wanna stop the big play in the past game. Well, then we'll run the ball. And I got some creative ways to run it.

And you're gonna be outnumbered because you're playing too deep. Oh, wait, you're playing single safety, but you're really playing for the middle of the field crossers and throws there. Well, we'll smash all you people in there and we'll toss it outside. Now you're all stuck inside. And here we go, right? So it sounds basic, but the way they coached it up and tied all together is phenomenal. PFT with Mike Florio every day on peacock, the on button podcast, football night in America as well. Again, giants and bills, quickly put us in the living room as Texas and Sarko's you a game.

I mean, he owes everyone an apology. That was a terrible coaching job by Sark. You have that good of a quarterback and you're being that conservative. Put us in the living room there, Chris. What was going through your mind? Yeah, it just, I mean, I was pissed. I really was. We were better than them.

I think anybody could have watched that game and saw that. Yeah. I mean, we were better. We messed it up. We're on the one yard line and we can't run it in. We can't run the freaking ball in. And we don't have another trick or something just to get a cheap touchdown in a big moment there. But then make the clutch drive and we don't have another trick or something just to get a cheap touchdown a big moment there but then make the clutch strive and we let Oklahoma just

go down the field in three or four plays like like we were just like oh man let's start the celebration we won let's start having shots that game every year Oklahoma always comes in with a chip on their shoulder and feeling like they're the little brother, the step brother to the Texas and Texas. And I know this because I was a part of it. They always come in like, we're Texas and we're going to put on a show in our school's worth $90 billion and we're an awesome university. And it just make punches in the mouth and all of a sudden we're like, what, we're in

a rivalry game. It's just annoying. Really blew a big opportunity to maybe go to the national championship there and that one. I say this lovingly. I felt like Billy was producing the game. The amount of times they showed your interception in that game. You had to be pissed off, right? I said that lovingly. I'm a friend of it. No, no. I couldn't watch that if I were you. It's all right. It's, you know, at some point you gotta come to terms with it. It's the highlight that never dies. Right. That's just the way it is every year

when that game gets close. I know that's gonna happen. As I've told people before, right? I'm in the Hall of Fame at Oklahoma's football hall of fame more than most of their Hall of Fame football players. I mean, I'm all over that. It's a weird flex. I know it's it's not a weird flex. I'm not proud of it, but you know, also like, hey, context of the situation is they were we were allowed to block him there, right? It was a little. I did have somebody open over here and it was going to be interesting.

But that was a great play by Roy Williams. And as I hope he say, Roy was the greatest college football player I ever played against. He was phenomenal. Crazy. PFT with Mike Floreo every day on Fika, Gunbuck and Bug by guess as well football night in America. And every week here on God bless football. We love him. Chris, thank you. Enjoy the weekend, man. We made it Austin. We made it to your biweek. Now you can come back healthy. Yeah. Everything's gonna be all good. Is that a question? Well, hold on Austin.

Are you asking Austin Eccler if indeed he's coming back? Oh, no, I'm just stating it as fast. Yeah, I know. Yeah, we all can you get from that Austin earn 99% I saw that I'm 100% was why you leaving 1% a doubt. Well, you never know right? I don't know. Yeah, I don't know if something happened. You know, so you know, I want to make sure that I'm putting

that a you know, appropriate message there because 100%. I mean putting out a, you know, a appropriate message there because 100%. I mean, is anything ever 100% through all this crazy stuff that can happen? So, you're right. By the way, I am working on your best man's speech. I'll just have you know that. Oh, nice. I should have it prepared for you next week. Are you going to chat GPT?

No, there's been a draft. I don't know how much you're going to like this speech, but there's a draft that's out there. I've heard Austin. All right, I'm expecting at least a 20 minute speech, so I'll just let you know right now. Okay, we will. Don't do that, don't do that to yourself. I'll keep it to 10 minutes again.

I mean, that's even extensive. If it was like three or four, I'd be like, well done. It's gonna be nine minutes of him thanking his sponsors and then one minute of the speech. Okay. I'm Austin, I'm wondering, man, like I know you're very friendly with Jonathan Taylor. And so what do you learn? Because you don't just look at a situation and just evaluate it. I know you learned something from how we handled his business. So what did you learn from how Jonathan Taylor handled that situation? Well, I don't have the full insights on the situation.

So I can't really speak on it like of what all went down. Obviously you got his deal. But I don't know like that. There was stuff going on with owners and him that came out on social media. And it's like how much you trust that. Right. I guess just the extreme measures that he went to to get the deal that he that he indeed wanted. You know, sitting out. What just the extreme measures that he went to to get the deal that he that he indeed wanted, you know, sitting out. What were the extreme measures? I mean, he didn't play the first four games. He asked for, you know, permission to seek a trade. He didn't get a trade. He came back. He sat. He sat. He said, he was about the injury coming back

from that from the public list, all that stuff. Right. I mean, he was placed on that list. I wasn't it wasn't like he was healthy and he just said I'm not playing anymore. The team kind of made it just so much. Yeah. That I'm like, I can't even speak on it, man. I'm just happy. They he got extended kind of self a deal towards the top of the market at that as well, because he is one of the top players in our position.

So looking forward to see the impact he continues to make on that team. Did you guys talk throughout that that whole or, you know, situation with him? I just, I hit him up. No, I didn't talk to him throughout his, his contract negotiation and all that. I just hit him up after he had his, his press conference. Even before I think the news came out that he had gotten his, his new contract and I just, I handle it very professionally, talking about how, like, wherever he is and at this moment, it's with his current team. He's gonna try to go out there and make the biggest impact,

and it's not about him, you know? It's about the team, it's about continuing to contribute and while he's available, hey, he's gonna give it his all. So I appreciate it, his message that he put out there just to keep it in a space where as like neutral,

no one can really fuster up with anything about, ah, he's salty, he's happy, like just keep it, keep a neutral man, because people are gonna try to tear you down, try to tear you up, they try to salty, he's happy, just keep it neutral, because people are going to try to tear you down, try to tear you up, and they try to put some controversy in it, and then that's not what you want to bring to your locker room. So he handled it very professionally. I guess what I was thinking throughout is I want Austin Eccler to get that deal. That's my friend Austin Eccler to get that deal.

That's all. Hey, well, look, I'm in a situation. Look, I've gone into, that was his second contract. I'm going into a different situation because I'm going into my third contract. And I look, I have this last year on my deal. And the fundamentals of my deal that I'm on right now were this situation where I was backing up Melvin Gordon.

I had never been a starter. So I wasn't considered a workhorse back. I don't even know if you still consider me that, but they were really uncertain about the impact I was going to be able to make. And if I was going to be able to actually hold down my own as the, you know, the starting running back. And so that's what my deal was based off of. And so now it's kind of proven, you know, over the past couple of years, like 1600 yards, you know, 20 touchdowns each year. It's like, okay, this guy can do it. I can do it by myself. You can bring someone in to help.

That would be great. I would love that. But also, if you don't have anyone, I can hold down the rope. So, now my circumstances have changed. I think someone said it. Yesterday's prices are not today's prices, you know. And so I got to go out there and continue to prove that. And that's what I'm going to use this year to do.

We were too far away from the deal being made. And so it didn't get done. And now it's up for me to go continue to make an impact and show that I can impact not just this team, but any other team that I'm going to be on. You have the Cowboys on Monday night. Do you like, do you enjoy playing in Monday night football? Yes. And no. Yes, because it's a prime time game.

Everyone's watching. It's like, okay, this is a spotlight and no because I got to wait around all day. There's no, there's nothing on like football on. And so us as football players were really anxious on game day. Like, there's just like, there's just like feeling of like, okay, like it's time to go, you know, we're locked in. And, um, you know, when you have to sit around all day with that feeling and have like, okay, like, let me go over my script again. All right, what are the plays? What are the keys? I don't know. Maybe it's just me. Um, but I want, I just want to get to

it. Like, I want to get to it. But, uh, you know, it's not a, not a bad, uh, wake up and play football. Right. It's a wake up. Get right to it, man. Let's go. It's funny that you say that because Mike Goldig told us the exact same thing, like two weeks ago, he's talking about a Notre Dame, like eight o'clock game and he's like, I absolutely hated night games as a player. I wanted to get up and play as early as possible just because I'm wired. Like that's what I'm doing that day. And if not, I'm just waiting around all day and I hated that feeling.

Yeah, I'm going to be sitting in my hotel room for hours and then finally get a go play a game. So it's like, yeah, I would rather just get straight to it. Let's get in and go smash each other and, you know, it's going to play as a football. But do you get extra hype? What's your in it? It's Monday night football, the entire country's watching and you're playing the Cowboys. That's pretty cool. Lost in. Yes, it's a pretty cool experience. It's hard to be hard to match that. You know, the NFL and just what has been built over, you know, the decades of this league is pretty hard to be, pretty hard to compare to as far as experience as for sure. Sounds like the mentality of someone who's confirmed he's playing on Monday night. I'm gonna get you. Yeah. I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you.

I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you.

I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you.

I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you. You know, we faced a few werewolves in our in our days and you got to have a plan for these guys because they've earned the Respects to get multiple hands on them like we are planning will have a plan for him I mean they got a couple other upper other studs on that defensive line to they got a really stout defensive line So it's gonna be a good test for off our offensive line and tight ends in myself putting a protection plan to keep Justin upright and keep this run game moving, you know, forward. And so for guys like that, you know, we just faced Max

Crosby. You know, we had a plan for him. He's another werewolf out there who just motor just doesn't stop ever. And it's just, you know, fishing is just ferocious and just has all these moves and power and has this thing. And so same thing with Micah, where they're going to move them all over the place. He'll be on the edge. He'll be in the three texts. He'll be over the nose. He'll be a linebacker. And we got to have a plan. And so same thing with Micah where they're going to move them all over the place. You'll be on the edge. You'll be in the three texts. You'll be over the nose. You'll be a linebacker. And we got to have a plan. And you know, we have Kellyn Moore, who is planned against it, you know, for the past whatever years he's been over there. And there's no doubt in my mind. We'll have some type of some type of way to try to slow

him down. Billy, I want his top five wearwear. I was wondering the same day. I wonder if it's a wearables. Can you, can you think of that before the end of the second day. I'm wondering if I was the wear wolves. Can you think of that? Before the end of the second day. I can't get credit for taking that one. That is definitely Joe Lombardi saying. So I want to give the credit where credit is to do there. I just kept that one because that's gold, man.

These guys, these DNs wear wolves, we got a couple on our team too. Top five wear wolves. Oh wow, Mike is definitely up there. TJ Watt is up there as well. Right. I would say both the is definitely up there. All right. TJ Watt is up there as well. Right. I would say, you know, both the boasts are there. This Aiden Hutchinson, I think it's.

Hutchinson. Yeah. Hutchinson. That guy's whoo. He's there too. I feel like there's a lot. There's, you know, the guy from Tennessee 93 or 98 on the interior over there. There's, there's a few guys, man. I mean, I feel like every team has that guy on the interior over there. There's there's a few guys, man.

I mean, I feel like every team has that guy on the D line, but those are some of stick out to me. Is this a Kalimor revenge game? Oh, wow. Dave, think about that. Kill him more than that. We love a revenge game, Austin. Love a revenge game.

For sure, it's definitely revenge game, right? But I don't know how you went out over there if it was on good terms, bad terms, neutral terms. But regardless of how you go out, if a team doesn't bring you back and you play them, you want to prove to them, like, hey, it's what you're missing out on. You know, same if the charge is doing what assigned me back in the future.

If I'm playing them, like, I love the charge. I love being here. But it's like, hey, I'm going to show you what you're missing out on. And so, yeah, as a revenge game, you want to run up 100 points on these guys. And you know, I'm there to help him try to do that. So look forward to it. Austin, when you watch the dolphins run the football and they do it so easily, like, have you watched them enough to, like, can you break down what the hell they're doing and how they

do it so easily? But man, they have, they have such a creative running style with their, how they're running their wide zones. A lot of their, a lot of their run game is attacking the edge of the line of scrimmage. They do have some up the, like up the middle traditional inside zone, wide zone runs, but a lot of their stuff, I feel like is let's get ourselves on the edge. Why? Because of the speed that they have on their team, it's obviously built around speed. So where can you get the speed Go and where the weather's space? So there's not a lot of space in the middle. So they're attacking these lines and scrimmage and try to get their guys on the edge And so the simple manner that's what I see them doing and they're really effective at it. Billy

I'm interested here if if Austin wants our advice because he did announce last week that he's getting married in the off season We're very excited for him. But you know, the key to a good wedding is the cocktail hour. And so I was wondering if we could offer up some advice as to certain things you should have at set cocktail hour. What do you think? You know, for whatever reason,

I feel like this advice is gonna be so ridiculous. However, I just wanna hear why. Just pinch in a blanket. Well, pinch in a blanket. We could start right there. It's a staple. They need to be there, okay? Pigs in a blanket. Yeah. Little hot dogs. Many hot dogs, you know. Yeah. Yeah. No. Is this like a tailgate party? What are we talking about here? It's a wedding.

I feel like you don't need to don't overthink it, Austin. Don't do like, you don't need more than three probably. Like sometimes some venues will give you hours and I go to get up six. You don't really need six. It's not going to be actually actually that long like that's where they get you on the extras, you know three's fine Also don't don't listen to them. They're skinny look you Lamb lollipops. That's what you want the lamb chops lamb go lamb lollipops She's calm lollipops the little lamb chops How about a nice sculpture with but to kill a flowing down from it? That's it.

You know, I need to give my fiance up here because she's playing the whole thing. You guys can give this a by-store. That's by the way. He's got no say in any of the other. Best advice. He's learned so good. He's learned so quickly.

Best advice, Austin. Keep it that way. Don't involve yourself because it's never ending once you do. When you get there, you're like, oh, you like, then it's's like well, what do you think about this? What do you think about that? It's like I don't really care What color the thing underneath the table is like wait on the next week and you prepare questions for us about getting married a marriage in general I'm gonna help you out there. We go. Yeah, I'll get a little bit We'll see if you guys can help you out. I'd appreciate that. Yeah, all right We look forward to hopefully watching you play on Monday night.

Where 99% certain we'll be watching you play on Monday night. It'd be good to see you back on the field, buddy. Thank you. I would say those are pretty good odds. I mean, I got a great odds. Anything you want to promote on the way out here? Yeah, actually, I actually start up a new company. Nice.

Yeah, it's what's not like a huge corporation thing. It's like a thing called X Games. It's a community that I'm starting in Discord. Like we have trivia nights for like a Deedas gift packs. You can win some jewelry. We have like, you know, online pop up golf tournaments, a free like poker tournament. You can come join.

And so yeah, check us out in discord on X games. You can find it in my link tree on Instagram. If you want to come hang out, we got Uno night coming up on Monday. We have some contests coming up, some cool prizes. So just a place where you can hang out, play some games together and really just kick it. You like Uno? I do. I do. I draw four. You don't know. Do I know? Yeah, you're reverse. What do you mean? You don't know. Do you? Do I know? Yeah, reverse.

What do you mean? I don't know. Oh, yeah. Sorry. I'm the actually before I get out of here. Do you allow the stacking of the plus two's? Or is it just very controversial? It is.

It is. So when you saw it growing up, I thought that you could only like, if you got it, you had to take it, you couldn't multiply it. But when you saw it growing up, I thought that you could only like, if you got it, you had to take it, you couldn't multiply it. But as you get older, I mean, if you can put a red four on top of a green four, why can't you put, you know,

an extra reverse or an extra, like, why can't you stack? That's what I'm saying. And by the way, Austin, here's my thing on this now that we're talking about it. I feel like, sorry Austin, you brought it up. I feel like you're in a wheelhouse.

I think that people have like reached out to Uno and Uno has made like an official declaration on what the rules are like on social media. And it's like here's what they said exactly right. Shut the hell up. Like we're gonna play by the rules that we want to play by. We're in the game things. Yeah, for sure. For sure. We'll play the game. You just make the cars. Let us play the game. Right. We'll make up the rules. Yeah. All right. So we're going to talk to you after you beat the Cowboys on Tuesday. Next Tuesday, I'm looking forward to that. All right. Awesome. Likewise.

They win the game outright Chargers by eight points at home over the Cowboys Those are the picks everyone good luck Rough one for the Irish this week, huh? Yeah, rough rough season for the Irish Mike. What's a

See, but yeah, listen, the Ohio State game. I mean, it was it was great game. I mean, it was a bad ending, but it was great game. Yes. And and Notre Dame had showed at least that game that they could stand toe to toe with one of the top teams. Uh, the Louvre, listen, this is now against SE going to be their fourth straight night game against an undefeated ranked opponent. It's just, it's just a way it falls, you know, you got to be able to get through that and they, they weren't

they played, uh, give Louisville credit. I thought in the second half Louisville had the ball. Notre Dame got a turnover in a field goal went up 10 to 7 and I thought, okay, this is where Notre Dame starts to kind of push them around, kind of get physical on the line, kind of roll with the running game.

And to Louisville's credit, that didn't happen. And Louisville's the one that got the running game going. So credit them. And now Notre Dame is out of the playoff hunt. I mean, that's just as cold and cut dry as it is. That will change next year when we go to 12 teams, two losses, you can get in, but it's not going to have an issue. This is why I don't like the 12 team playoff. Okay. I know you're looking forward to it. But what it does is you have Washington and Oregon this week. That is a de facto playoff game. The winner has a great chance of making it to the playoff. The loser is likely out of the playoff.

It takes away from these regular season games that have so much meaning. That's why I don't like it, Mike. Now, I get what you're saying. The loser of this game next year if this were the same scenario could literally still get in easily. They get in, I think.

Yeah, I mean, it depends. I still overall like it for a year like like this year is a matter of fact because I think there are a number of teams That could win. I don't think it's the normal three or four now the way Georgia played against Kentucky Holy smokes. They they finally looked yeah like the best team in the country Michigan still hasn't played anybody but I They're one of the top teams, but they play Penn State in Ohio State, so we're going to get a better view of that. But I mean, Florida State, Oklahoma, what they did to Texas, Washington, Oregon, Texas, SC, Alabama, sitting at 11.

I'm going to the top 12 in North Carolina, as 12. I just think this is one of those years, and this is what you hope for where it could get competitive, where you have a number of teams, because in the last few years, a 12 team, I think would have been a waste. And it'll be, it'll go in spurts. Some years, there'll be three dominant teams,

where the 12 teams will just be, you're in the playoffs, cool. And other years, you legitimately will be able to have maybe the eighth seed pull off a few wins and win the whole thing. Mike, is this the game for Notre Dame that you get the most excited about the USC game? I always have like my kids, it's Notre Dame Michigan, right? When they put when they were there for me. And like my brother Bob, who was before me, it was, it was USC. For right after me in the

Lou Holtz type of era, it was Notre Dame Miami, right? Catholics versus convicts and that whole thing. And when Miami was, you know, hell of a hell of a ball club. So it switched from the players perspective over those different decades. For me, it was SC and I think overall, I think it is SC. You got the whole family coming in for this one? What's happening? No, no, no, no. Actually, nobody's coming in. I think my brother Bob might be in.

That's what happens with two losses if they were on the feet of the United States. Well, no, I don't think Jake was actually just here for other reasons. My daughter, Sydney, is about three weeks away from giving birth. So she's not flying out here or her husband's in med school. I actually just here for other reasons. My daughter Sydney is about three weeks away from giving birth. So she's not flying and out here her husband's in med school. So there's an abundance of reasons now. Now, so you don't like excuses to me, Mike.

Maybe if they didn't lose the Louisville and they were still a top, you know, a 10 team. You take the maybe out of that, Mike. More and more would have shown up. But, you know, I'm wondering how much this game in an ancillary statement, there are usually at the South Bend International Airport, there are usually two to three hundred private planes that are there on USC weekend between Notre Dame, Rich alum and USC Rich alum. It is unbelievable. So I wonder how much of a hit that will be because Notre Dame Lawsack came to Oval who decides not to come into this game now.

Where does South Bend fly to internationally? It has to be Canada, right? Like it has to just be like, I think he said it's all private. I think no, it's not all private. Billy, it's a great question. I mean, you know, Notre Dame International Notre, name their team flew to Ireland from here. So that makes it international, right? Uh, yeah, it is. I mean, there's, I think six or seven gates that are never all open at the same time because there's always construction on a couple of them. It's a tiny airport. So yeah, to have the international tag is, uh, is pretty interesting. Yet here we are, South Bend International Airport. Mike, you buy in Penn State, by the way?

I mean, we've seen this before with Penn State, then get off to a five-and-oh six-and-oh start, and then they play Ohio State and Michigan, it's over. Cautious optimism at best, but I don't think so. Ohio State looks like they can be had, they get off to slow starts. Would I come on the next day on my show and say, oh my God,

one of the greatest upsets of all time, Penn State, Pete Michigan, or Penn State, Peter, I'll say, no, I wouldn't say that, but I would understand them being underdogs in both those games. Kid, their quarterback, Alars, got up. What a monster arm that he has. God.

Mikey, buying into Oklahoma, or was this just a rivalry? What a game. What a game. I picked Texas in this one. I thought they were going to win. Oklahoma's defense has been playing pretty well though. When you say defense in big 12, you kind of say it with a smirk on your face, but at times there are good

defenses in the big 12. Then what an awesome game. What a great drive. That Oklahoma had at the end of the game. They're a fast offense anyway, so that was nothing to them at the end of the game. They're they're a fast offense anyway. So that was nothing to them for the fact of how quickly they moved down the field, but the success they had, that was incredible. Billy, what have you found out here about Notre Dame's airport, international airport?

On the South Bend International Airport website flysbn.com and I found the page of airlines and destinations. And it says right here, Mike, you can go anywhere found the page of airlines and destinations. And it says right here, Mike, you can go anywhere from here with 12 nonstop destinations. So I click on the destinations and I see Atlanta Charlotte, Chicago Dallas Fort Worth Detroit, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, Orlando, Puntagorta, which is Fort Myers, Phoenix, Sarasota and Tampa. So it seems like at the moment we're not to servicing international flights. I have no idea what the criteria is. I'm just as surprised with you that it says

international on it because I have never flown international. But like I said, they had a flight that took the team from here to Ireland. So technically that's international. In South Bend International Airport's defense, if I had an airport, I'd call it international, even if it's only like, yes, local. Absolutely. You have to get mocked by the other airports. If you're not in the, I think they think it's international is the West Coast of Florida. I mean, well, it, because it used to be South Bend regional. It's another world. Yeah, I mean, it's international sound so much better than regional. Yeah. That's true. That's good point.

Well done. Mike, we didn't have the BCS ready for you this week, but I'm curious. I'm curious your thoughts on this. There has been one shameful omission, disrespectful omission from the top 25 all season long. And of course, I'm talking about Air Force, who remains undefeated here defending our country, going out there protecting and serving. They can't even crack the top 25. What's going on here, Mike?

Yeah, they're like third in the others receiving votes. It's going to be teams in front of them losing, unfortunately, they're not going to get that respect. You know, and that would be the thing when you get to a 12 team. That would be in all honesty. That's what I'd love to see. You know, a team like that go undefeated. And then would they be able to get into the top 12

when you go to 12 to get into the playoffs? It's gonna be a four-law, salabameteam over there. Exactly. I know, I know. But also it'd probably be a terrible game if that didn't happen. Yeah. Respectfully, thank you for your service. terrible game if that you have it. Yeah, yeah, respectfully. Thank you for your service

You would love that as a yeah, the little guy gets a chance here and then we'd go the game We go because they'd be playing like every time Notre Dame makes the playoff. Are you done? You done because you know That's that's a myth Billy other teams have gotten beat worse in the semi-finals than Notre Dame has So that's just Notre Dame hate on your part. That's all right. Yeah. But I won't dispute that. Thank you.

Mike, just quickly on the NFL, I've been saying all week for me. Like, it's been a while since you can really say this. It seems so predictable that the NFC am I wrong. Like, you'd be shocked if the Eagles don't play the Niners in the NFC championship game, right? Yeah, I mean, the way it's going, well, we said that from the beginning of the year, right? That those were the two top teams, and then you would probably put Dallas next. And then you had an array of teams. It was Philly, San Fran, San Fran, Philly Harb. We want to do it. Drop Dallas, drop everybody else. So who can be that team that maybe rises up and that's a thing? Where do you go? Detroit. We all love the fact that they're four and one. We put them up there

To do that. That's the one team. I think that's the one that that's the one team I think that could sneak in there. Like I could see them beating either of those two teams. I believe because they're very physical team I would agree, but I still don't see it happening. Nobody from the South. You know who's been a surprisingly fun team? And surprising is the Rams, you know, honesty. You know, now they get cut back. It's been amazing how young they are

and how they've been winning. But yeah, it is such a top-every conference. And after Dallas just getting smoked by him, but didn't stop Micaparsans from continuing to talk about the possibility of a rematch, but they're just not at their level right now. I mean, it is they are something to watch. I mean, they are so stacked on both sides of the ball. And Philly has not played to their level yet. But I don't worry about that. They're still undefeated. They're fine in the way I get it done. And all they need to do is make sure they get in third and one and fourth and one situations. And they're going to be fine with the brotherly shove. But yeah, it's hard to think that

those two teams aren't going to meet up. And I mean, and they're going to meet up December third in the regular season, which will be, I, you absolutely want them both to be undefeated still at that point. And that, that, that would be a game for probably the number one seed then, right? So the Jets have never beaten the Eagles, Mike. Tell me why this week it's different. It's not beaten the Eagles. It's not.

Wait, this is a big, a big couple of weeks for Goliath here on Goblos football. You get to get this week and the dolphins next week, Billy. How about that? So, I mean, you look at that matchup and the part that scares me the most for your jets is your roll line against Philly's D line. Yeah. And the pressure they're going to put on Zach Wilson is going to be tough. Well, we just lost our best offensive line.

Exactly. So what I am looking forward to is Philly O'Line, Jets D-Line. That is going to be a great matchup. I'm really looking forward to that. I love how Salah talked about stopping the brotherly shove. He says we're going to give him 11 kisses, meaning, you know, you want 11 guys to hit jail and hurts. It's just a hard thing to stop.

You know, of what you have to do, you're starting to see linebackers dive over the top to try and get jail and hurts. And that's not going to work because you can dive and grab them, but you have no leverage at all because your feet aren't on the ground and they're just going to push forward. So I just don't see it.

Now, we did see Arizona beat Dallas. You'll you see crazy things every week in the NFL. I just I just don't think the matchup. I know. I just don't see the matchup Jets offense, Philly defense, working too much in the Jets favor. Gojo and Goliq every day eight to 10 a.m. Eastern on the Draft Kings Network. You can get it on Roku. You can get it on Samsung TV. Also check out the podcast. You have a game this week at Mike. I am doing Monday night again. So I am doing the Cowboys at the Chargers. Nice. And then next week I back to Sunday nights.

I have Miami going to fill it. Excellent. Yeah. That would be my Ami fill it. That would be a good one. But yeah, I'm going to be hanging out with my son Mike because he's out. He lives right by the stadium out there in the airport. So I'll do we'll do go Joe and go look from his. His his place of residence out there. A block from the beach. So I'm looking forward to hanging out there a little bit with him.

Frankie is with us. He's the head coach at Georgia Tech. Their game was pretty unaventful through a half. And then it became one of the greatest games, and maybe the greatest finish that any college football game that I have ever seen. But Billy was saying that because of that game, because of the ending, he could not sleep that night.

So I'm wondering, Coach, did you sleep at all that night? I think I got a bit about 515 that night, or the next morning, after you're flying back and got to the house and here's what I did so so 10 o'clock on Saturday mornings at 10 we have staff meeting all right so it lets the coaches sleep in a little bit you know after a long week and uh last I forgot uh forgot to turn my alarm off so 915 on Sunday morning my alarm goes off So 915 on Sunday morning, my alarm goes off. All right, after getting in bed at 515,

massive mistake by myself. How many times did you hit the snooze? I threw it against the wall. Then I was up, I was good. So I started watching the game again and started my normal Sunday work. So it's third and 10 there, coach. And Miami has the ball. You're out of time. It's 33 seconds to go.

Like, what are you thinking? There's not like, you're not thinking taking a was we're going to strip it and get the ball back. Like, what are you thinking there? You can't create a turnover. Really? But are you expecting the victory? Now you know, Mario, a little bit from your days in Alabama.

So you guys are friends. Like, are you thinking victory formation games over? We lost or I mean, you know, that was their decision, you know, to, you know, run, run the ball or go victory like I said, I mean, even if they don't victory, we would have had, we've done something to try to force, force the balls. We had to get the ball back looking and what, regardless of the chances, somebody, somebody sent me the little graphic that's, you know, played of the 99.9% win lose. Well, that's why there's that, you know, that's why it's 0.9%, not 100%.

Were you surprised he didn't take a knee? I mean, I can only tell you what I would have done. I'm not going to tell you anything. What would you have done? I'll take it in here. Because you win the game and move on, right? Right. So you get the ball back and what do you tell your quarterback in that spot? Well, you know, leading up to that, the message to the team in the quarterback was, you know, you can't always wait, you know, you put the energy on the quarterback to, to go win a game for you when things aren't going great. So, you know, that's a lot of pressure to put on one person and look at scoreback position. They, they, they, they're going to have that pressure, but with that point now, the defense stepped up.

They had gotten the ball back for him. So it wasn't looking at one singular person to go win the game. It was the team working together. So they got the ball back and look, we had 22. It was a 22 seconds. I believe 24 seconds. So we had to put ourselves in a good position when we were our kick line was. Was it 20 to 17 then I believe. So we knew what our kick line was. We didn't have time out. And we knew we had to get the ball to the sideline.

First play didn't really find anybody open and threw it at the feet of the running bag. Save the play there. He makes a gutsy throw to the sideline to Malik Rutherford. Malik goes up, makes the catch, and he's trying to get out of balance, but momentum obviously had him down beforehand, and we get to the line, hit it the spike the ball,

so there's 10 seconds left now. And you got no time out. So there's only one or two things to do. The whole fast fill goal is out of the equation. Cause you got 10 seconds, it's either, you know, catch it and hit a quick one to the side line. Get out of bounds, right? And, you know, how far you can get to getting

fill goal range, now you still leaving it up to chance or Actually when he got pressured when he got pushed out of the pocket and started scramble, right? You know the play one designed to be a shot play down field Right when the game. I mean there's 10 seconds there so you're playing with two plays and you're working to get fillable range as well Unless something big is there. I mean, you sit there, you design a play to go all the way down the field at that point. You're going to run out of time. So when he got flushed, the receivers all went into scramble mode. And they did exactly what they're supposed to do in scramble situations.

And Christian, you know, the rule is the deepest, stays deep. You can beat him deep. And that's what he did. It's amazing. What was the kick line, by the way? 33. So you get to the 33, you're going field goal there. Yes. And you're thinking on that final play, it turned out to be the final play. Let's try to get to the 33 or closer, get out of bounds,

kick a field goal, go over there. Yeah. That's that, that, you know, percentage, percentage of plays, percentages. That's what you're percentage is percentage of play is percentages. That's what you're trying to try to do. Right. So what was your reaction? As you saw him open down the field, you started quarterback deliver the ball perfectly to the wide receiver.

What's going through your mind there? Hello. I mean, it was I think it stayed in the air about 10 seconds. I'm watching the point. I'm eyes at that time. I was a quarterback and the front because they've got talent on that defense now. I mean, that's a formidable defense as far as the talent goes and the way they can

pressure the quarterback and get out the quarterback and cross the board. So I'm watching the front, he scramble's out and then my eyes immediately go to the back end to see if we're right, it's getting scrambled real. And you know, they got great talent on the back end of their safety as well. And you know, Christian was able to slip through and basically just kept it high. And by the end, I'm like, he's about to throw that thing. And when I saw him looking, looking, looking in like waiting, that's when my eyes went to the back end. And I said, he's waiting for Christian. As this kid's about to, he's about to get open and then the thing, he threw it up and it would make a play on it.

Coach, we have had Jalen Hertz on the show. We've had many guys who played at Alabama on this show. They tell us stories of Sabin taking him out to the lake and trying to throw him off a raft. Did he ever do that with you? No, he didn't. I wouldn't get on the back of the thing and drop. No. No.

He does. He whips some around and tries to throw him off. I live across the lake from him down in the slums. I lived in the small part of the lake. The coordinator part, yeah. You're working. Yeah, I have to decide. Yeah, he's over a lot.

He's got three or four lots. I think he's over. So did he's over and over. He's got three or four lots. I think he's. So, no, he did. He tried to whip them off. Maybe not the quarterbacks though. They're important, those guys, you know, I don't know. I mean, between between Jalen and two and Mac, I mean, all three of them probably slips off that thing. Did you expect Jalen to be this good? I love, I love Jalen Hertz now. I mean, he is as competitive as they come. The way he handled the situation there when everything went down, you know, I mean, you

got to think now that the quarterback room was Jalen Hertz, Matt Jones and Tua Tonga Lowe and Ridiculous. And to have that amount of talent in the room together, you know, spread out different ages, but the competition between them, right? You're your friend, Lane Corjol, you're teammates, but there's also a competition. And, you know, I think everybody in life has things they would handle different at times, but, you know, there's the way Jaylin handled that stuff through graduated. And then it kind of came full circle for him that year. In the SEC Championship game, two had got hurt. And he comes in and wins the game for us.

And to see the the the the light on his face when that happened. And after a whole year of just, you know, things going on, you know, crazy, you know, craziness, I'll say. And then to have a success he did. The Ed O'Cla and that he's having now, there was zero doubt in my mind that that kid was going to be a top level NFL quarterback. And I mean, you don't have guts and grit. I mean, that kid, and what you see with him is not fake. And it's it's real. He's his true to himself. Is it being anybody? Billy wants to ask technology questions.

I know he does. That's fine. You know what? Well, I've always wondered what the tech and Georgia tech was. And it's not too, my guess. No. Hey, look, what's the biggest piece of technology we all have is this.

Yeah, the phone. Yeah. Everybody has it that you threw against your wall. Yeah. Well, the kicker I played with and been at the camera on it. So there's weight. So what? What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Yeah, I think the kicker I played with and been at the camera on it. So there's way. So what? Wait, what are you talking about?

Wait, time out. Yeah, I think the game. Listen, I regret asking you any questions about the Miami game. I only want to talk about the kicker invented the camera for the iPhone. Yeah, I think the newest camera, he's got the patent on it.

How many kids on your team have a patent on something? 10 to 15. Where is that kicker today? The one who invented the camera on the iPhone? Please back out in Silicon Valley. Yeah, right. I mean, I know you're doing just fine. Yeah, he came back to tech for a year or two years, year and a half, two years to be the

dean of the biomedical engineering school and then he got bored of that and went back out. I think he's either, he's about to back and forth to an Apple Google. Well, you'll go and get like some new. back out. I think he's either he bounces back and forth to an apple, Google, uh, well, he'll go and vent like some new, uh, uh, metric system for, uh, for, for hedge funds. And I help him make money and then take profits, you know, percentage of that, and he'll go teach for another year, some school, and then he'll, uh, jump back into the, I think he invented, he got a patent on a new knee for a knee replacement at one point. Oh, yeah. Crazy. What are you doing?

Coach, yeah, what are you helping with with society? Taking these. There it is. What's this kicker's name? David Frakes. All right, we got to get Franks on the show, Billy. Yeah, you got to get Franks on there, man. Franks is the smartest person I know. All right, we appreciate your time, sir. All right, thanks, guys.

Is that a Whippleball jersey? Yeah, do you own a Whippleball team also? Yeah, I was so proud of my first performance in Vegas yesterday that I slept in my jersey. But you do own a Waffle Ball team? Yeah, but I joined a Waffle Ball League. Of course. Gord, you were in Vegas a week ago.

You told us you were going home. You're still in Vegas. Have you left Vegas? Does it look like it? When are you going home, Gord? I just want to show you something else to hold up because I was unaware that this just I just woke up. This is what I just woke up next to. To the Easter Bunny head.

Once again, I don't know where I am. Are you in your hotel room? I mean, no, definitely not. What? So there's an Easter Bunny costume head in the bed next to you. Yeah. And you're wearing a wiffleball jersey. And he owns a wiffle ball.

Absolutely ridiculous. Okay, what happened when you're here in Vegas though? Good life, you lead. By the way, Gordy went 401 last week as did Carl. So it was incredible. I believe Gordy went 401 last week. An incredible week last week now. On the other end of the spectrum, K-Funk went 221, which is very embarrassing.

For me it is, and I will say this, I picked the Jets and then two guys started talking shit and I changed my pick. Otherwise I would have been a little better. So you're blaming me? Yeah. I did, I picked the Jets and then stood out and started talking shit and I changed my pick. Otherwise I wouldn't have been a little better. So you're blaming me? Yeah. For your two and one? For a share bear go.

Share bear went three, one and one. Share bear text me goes, hey, what was my record? I go, I don't know, dude, I said, I do know one thing. You're f***ing banking team lost and he goes, bro, there's a reason behind that. Monday was a holiday and I didn't take that into consideration. And since Monday was a holiday, the banking, like he blamed it all on the holiday. Hey, it's the algorithm.

That's actually a really good point. Did he set a f*** up that algorithm? It was a banking holiday. I'll put you there. Yeah. Was it a regional holiday or national holiday? Well, so national supersese regional. Oh, yeah. Okay, okay.

Okay, everyone knows that. Shear Bear, how was the pickleball tournament, by the way? It was short, short. You got knocked out in the first rounds. Short, her man. How does this affect your world ranking, Shear Bear? You know, it comes and goes. Me and the day, you know, I got a lot done, though, personally, when I was out there.

Let's pick games.

So Gordon can get some rest here, right? Carl can get to work because he's gotten a important job, right? See, he walks at Bengals. Joe Barrow, Joe Barchays was right, Carl. He's always open. Barrow got on the ball last week. They look better. I've been going back and forth on this game, guys.

I'm going to give up the points and take the Bengals at home. There you go. All right, Bengals minus three at home. Share bear, who you taking here? Bengals see off. I won't win the Bengals. I remember good old Jeff Ruby's. I'm going to go back with the Bengals. All right, take it. The Bengals scored 401. Fresh off of 401. 401, one week and seven more days in Vegas.

Vikings bears. I got it. Uh, I have to go in Minnesota bears are just too much of a liability. My favorite game last week was the bears on Thursday. I pounded it. I'm going to take the bears again this week. Uh, Gord, I don't want to ask you to do on Thursday. I pounded it. I'm going to take the bears again this week. Uh, Gordon, I don't want to ask you to do too much. I really don't, uh, book. And you put that bunny thing on and you make the picks with the bunny hat on. Yeah, Oma.

Don't move too much. Don't strain a muscle. Just, you know, yeah, let's go to, uh, Eagles and jets. Eagles might as seven, take it on the jets at New York. So what a bad game. K.Fon, who you taking? I'm scared to even mention the J word, so I'm going to take the Eagles. Okay. Carl, who you taking here?

Again. It's Eagles minus seven. They're at the Jets who you're taking, Gord. Oh, that's a lot of points. I'm going to go with the JETs. Jets. Let's go on Lions at Bucking Ears Lions minus three at Tampa Bay. I got to go K funk first. K funky. Go to the game. Who you taking?

I'm going to the game and this is tough, man. I don't know, the last game, I was just a debacle that happened with the box. I'm gonna go with the Lions here. I think they're just a better team overall. I don't sure, I'll look her. Carl Douglas is shaking his head. I think he agrees, are you taking Carl?

Of course, the Lions, easy one, this one. Easy Lions. All right, share bear. From four buyers here, Henry Ford has good old, you know, winner home and, uh, I think I'm going to go with Detroit lines. Good old, good old Henry Ford. Yep. I like it. It's good theory. Wait, who did KFunk take of that game? You took the line.

Airbear, who did you take the line? You just told us you were fading Yeah, yeah, but it comes Henry Ford house. What is this? Well, so every four-touch right there's a loophole You're right. Exactly right call us all Let's go to let's go to Gord who's wearing a bunny costume Gord who you take it? I have to go with the box because of TB 12 and big rob. Gord, where are your eyes? Where can you see how to?

You see out of the eyes of the nose? What do you see? Card dug with this. This isn't a real easy pick just like you said. I'm going with the box. No, what is that? Yeah, she had a question, Gord. Yeah, like can you see out of that costume?

Where's your eyes? Where's the ears? Okay, there we go, my guess. Oh, there's the eye. Okay, good. All right, here we go, Gordon, final game. Cowboys, minus two at the Chargers. Gordon, who are you taking here?

Chargers. Carl, who are you taking here? Look at my hat, the Chargers, all the way. Okay, sorry about that, came from a good day, get here. No, no, Ramson. That's not a Chargers hat. That's a bad one. I'm sorry.

I didn't want to say it. What? My bad, wrong hat, wrong hat. I think our guy, our regular, on God bless football, Echlor, I think he's back this week, right? I'm giving him a time. Yeah, 99%. Two tuddies for him and the

the charges win. Let's go. Okay. Okay. I can't wait to hear share bears three on why you take it to charges. Go ahead, share bear. I mean, deck press guy can't have two or three games in a row like that. So you got to go with with Cowboys. I like. I go money line. It gives me a win and a half. Wow. A win and a half. Okay. You want to do the money line here? You give me a win and a half to make up for a and a half. Okay. You want to do the money line here? You get to win in a half to make up for a first week. So if the Cowboys were win by a point, you don't win. Is that what you're saying? I do like the idea of you guys taking money

lines for an extra win. I like that. Both ways. Win or law. Let's do this. All right. We can start that. We can start that next week. Okay. That's good. It's a good idea about you, Sherbert. I like your style, man. Good. All right, guys. Carl on the way out here. Promote the law for a man. One thing I do. Men in them picking teams is double takes law and LA for all your preplish. Please call me. I go. It. L. the professional whistleball league yesterday was one of periods. I was the first ever player that was voted into

a league that was picked at the beginning of the season. There was a lot of controversy in the chat yesterday that extra professional athlete is not playing pickleball and he had the best stats compared to anyone else in the league and he's never played before. So I'm going to have to deal with that today. But I'm promoting them just, you know,

for good will to make sure that I don't get kicked out of the league after the first week. All right. Well done, Gord. We love you. I share about you want to promote anything on the way out here. Yeah. A little, we're on the weekend, a little desoes. It's the first gluten-free Valkyselicer. Not bad. Perfect for a guy like Gordy on at 8 o'clock in a Thursday morning. Alright, Jets. We love you, take care.

We'll talk to you next week. you
