We have a big football weekend upon us. Saturday, Sunday, Monday night. There are big games all over the college and NFL landscape this weekend. I am very excited. Chris Simms going to join us. Spags was in studio. He'll join us on the TV side. Billy, this is very exciting, man.

We got big games this weekend. We do. And you know what the exciting thing is about the big games? Well, it's actually a nerve-wracking thing. By the way, God bless football is presented by Smirnoff. We do game days. please drink responsibly. The Smirnoff company, New York, New York. Here's the thing about the big games, Stu Gotz.

It's gonna be a busy weekend. We're gonna be watching a lot of big games, a lot of ranked matchups on Saturday. And then Sunday's NFL slate is as good as it's been in a long time. There's huge games, Texans, Packers, Lions, Vikings, Chiefs, 49ers, Ravens, Buccaneers on Monday night. Sunday night football now has stakes

because of trades that are being made and quarterback changes that are in place. Here's the thing that I like about it is that we're probably gonna get some great football games. We're probably gonna get some great performances. Here's the thing that I don't like about it. Okay, all right. Interesting. For our fantasy contest, which is also presented by Spiranoff, the world's number one vodka, please drink responsibly. The one o'clock slate and the four

o'clock slate, we have decisions to make and where I normally know these are the guys I'm gonna go to because I know there's gonna be points and this is gonna be a lopsided win, this should be easy for me. These good games, I don't know how they're gonna go, so I don't know who I should take on which team, should I avoid the big games altogether. I have decisions to make.

Luckily, I still have until Sunday, one o'clock p.m. Eastern to make those decisions, but I need to start doing some thinking because last week I was doing good. I had Jordan Love was looking great. Yeah, and then I fell to 495th place. So things really fell off. Well, you're starting to realize Billy. These are marathons, not a sprint. Okay, it's not you know having the hot one o'clock

quarterback does not ensure victory for your fantasy team. Yes, I almost a little bit. You know, look if if I have like all one o'clock games and I have have two guys left at four o'clock, I know I've lost. I just know, before anything's even scored, I know that I've lost because I'm not gonna get the points at one o'clock. But we're not here to talk about this.

We talked about it, presented by Spiranoff the World's Number One Vodka Please Drinkers Possibly. You brought it up. We need to talk about football. Yeah, Stu Gotz, I have a very exciting treat for the audience on the audio side. Do you really? That you're not privy to.

Really? Oh wow, tell me more. On the video side, you're gonna get Chris Sims, you're gonna get Spags. On the audio side, you're gonna get Chris Sims, you're gonna get Stu Gotts as well on both sides. And then on the video side, we had a very special guest in our pick segment. And I'm gonna tell you who it was

because this might be one of the biggest stars in Hollywood right now. Really? And you guys don't know this, but his star is rising and it's only gonna get bigger. And we got him nice and early. Sugats, during the pick segment today, we got the actor who plays Rob Gronkowski in the show about the Patriots.

No way. We did and if you want to know something. Yes. Here's why he's a big star and his star is rising. He also plays Travis Kelsey in the upcoming Hallmark Channel Christmas movie about Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift. So we got both Gronk and Travis Kelce today making picks for us. Wow. I mean, this guy is also an underwear model.

He is an underwear model. Amazing. He's cornered the market on playing former current and former NFL players. I mean, he's tight ends. Yeah. I can't believe I missed it. I'm very upset about this. Yeah.

It was a big get for us this week. I mean, the way things go, I wouldn't be surprised if he comes back next week. But yeah, also, Stugak, things got a little frost between me and Mike Rollis at one point, but you're gonna have to listen. You're gonna have to listen. You kind of begged it to get Billy. He's a professional wrestler.

He'll kick your ass, man. Yeah, we never see him in person though. So I got a little frisky. So you're gonna have to listen for that, man. Yeah, we never see him in person though. So, I got a little frisky. So, you're going to have to listen for that if you want to see what happened there. Okay. You mean

I'm going to have to listen to that, right? Yeah, the audience. He had his zoom muscles on. So, audience, I'll listen if you listen, okay? I promise you, I'm going to listen. I am so upset I missed this but you're telling me there's a chance

that we get Kelsey and Grock back next week for the pick segment? Potentially. Okay, good. Alright, but then maybe. We'll see. Uh did the dealers come back from the Blackjack tables from Las Vegas with Gordy? No, the dealers did not come back. The

dealers are in last place and will remain in last place at 0 and 1 for the remainder of the season. Carl is surging. Carl has a 621 win percentage higher than all of the 600 win percentages of the people who appeared on the show one time. Wow.

So, yeah. One little segment. That segment usually gives me a headache. I love those guys. I say that lovingly, but I am really upset that I missed it this week. I am. Yeah.

And I missed my headache. I did. Well, you haven't missed it yet. You can still check it out. All right, I will check it out. Audience, check it out. Chris Sims, next. Spagati here from my friends over at Miller Lite.

I don't know how your football season is going, but mine is going exactly the way the last 40 football seasons have gone. It's a roller coaster from defending your favorite team after a bad loss to obsessively checking your fantasy lineups. Football fandom is bigger than just Sundays.

Yo, yo. What up? I can't see you guys yet but I can hear you nonetheless. We're looking great today Chris. We do. Are you? Yeah. I mean they might be. I doubt you are Billy. Oh there we go. Oh now he's a Bears fan. Wait I just saw it. They're 2 and 0. They're 2 and 0 since Billy became a Bears fan, Chris. Wow. How did this happen?

How did he become a Bears fan all of a sudden? You know, I just, uh, just one of those things just happened. I don't know. People started calling me Bear Down Billy 2 and 0 since I've been following the Bears. I think the tan hat kind of does it too. You know what I mean? Like we discovered together the red chief's hat wasn't working for me. The tan bear's hat, it's okay. Yeah, I'd say it's okay.

Bear down, where did anybody get into bear down Billy? How did that happen there? That's a new one for me. Just, I don't know, the people dictate these things, Chris. They just see me and they say, you know what? You're a man of the bears now. Bear down Billy. I'm like, okay. All right. So now you're good. You got one of the weakest arms in football as your favorite quarterback and you got like the strongest arm in football. That's perfect.

That's perfect. Not a nice thing to say about Caleb Williams, man. Why would you say that about Caleb? Listen, Billy went to Chicago with me for a watch party and he became a Bears fan. Wherever Billy goes, he turns into a fan of that team. Yeah, yeah. I'm not shocked by that. I'm not. But yeah, I understand that. Like, hey, listen, I kind of am a fan boy of the Chicago Bears too. One, I like feel a little bad for them. They have an awesome fan base, which is, I'm guessing was part of the reason you started to wear the hat and like feel the energy in that city with that team. And I think it's one of the coolest stadiums in all of football. Right downtown, you can be in the middle of the field on 50 yard line and see the skyline of Chicago.

I think it's really cool. I'm hoping they can kind of get back to their glory days. Now, Billy, you're like one of the few that loves that stadium. Doesn't everybody hate that stadium? I know why. What? Because it's cold. I mean, what are It's Chicago. This is football. Let's play some ball. Yeah, I know it's not a picnic, but quarterbacks hate that place, man. Well, that's great. It's a great advantage. You know where else quarterbacks hate? They hate Kansas

city. And you know what? That team that has a quarterback there, he never loses there. So that's what you want. You want quarterbacks to hate it. And they got a quarterback that like, I'm not joking you, right? I've said this on my pod on Wednesday. I watch Caleb Williams and I write in my notes and we talked about this on my pod of like, he might have the strongest arm in football.

And I don't say that lightly because Josh Allen, I think has maybe the strongest arm I've ever seen in my life. So that's going to be an advantage for them. Don't go to a dome in Chicago. Make teams come out there and freeze their ass off and have to play in that wind. It's going to be advantage.

They should never let that go. Because they have the quarterback with the arm, is what you're saying. Exactly right. And they're going to be used to the elements. You get to a part like my dad's old Giants football teams. The Giants stadium was a home field advantage. Back before climate change when we actually

used to have winters and windy days up here in the Northeast and rain and snow. And I used to have to wear a snowsuit to a game in the middle of November. Now it's going to be 75 next week here in the Northeast in November. So you don't get that anymore. But it was an advantage. You can ask Joe Montana or Troy Aikman. They used to be like, oh man, playing in a giant stadium, dealing with the wind

and the cold and all of that, right? The concrete astroturf. Yeah, the Bears could work something like that to where it comes to their advantage. Jared Goff does not like playing in the cold and the wind. We've seen that. That's factual. Well, Chris, we could ask your dad because your dad had a big arm and they went to Chicago one playoff year and they got destroyed by the Bears. Am I correct? They did. They got destroyed but not like really destroyed. If you watch like I've heard Parcells and my dad say like if there was a day to upset the 85 Bears, that was

the day. Yeah, it was. They moved the ball. If you watch, it was seven nothing for a lot of the game. And then Sean Lendetta whiffed on a punt. It was so windy that when he dropped the ball on the punt, he missed the ball move and they picked it up and ran it for a touchdown. And that kind of ended the game. Yeah, but yes, that was a tough place to play.

My dad would certainly tell you that late in the, you know, late in the season, cold winter day for sure. Billy, what Sims is saying is there was a tough place to play. My dad would certainly tell you that late in the season, cold winter day for sure. Billy, what Sims is saying is there was a time, that's when football was football, Billy. Yeah, Billy. You drop a positive voice. You drop a point, you're about to kick it

and the ball disappears because the wind took it away. I got to be honest with you, when I bought this hat to pander to the crowd in Chicago. I didn't think it was going to lead to these stories. Oh, well, I'm sure I don't like the hat. It's ugly. The baby. I like when you wear colors.

Okay. Here's the thing. If we're going to be honest with you, I wasn't super thrilled with this hat either. So we had a watch party on a Sunday two weeks ago, got into Chicago at like nine o'clock at night on Saturday. We had to be there first thing in the morning because it was a noon kickoff. So like all the stores were closed around there.

So what I had to do is I had to walk to a Dick's Sporting Goods about two blocks away from the venue. And they didn't have like a hat selection. Like this was the only like nice fitted hat they had. They had the one that like the sideline hat that all the teams have with like that rope across the brim Yeah, that's ugly. I don't like that is a weird one. It's

Like yeah, I just ended up getting this one. I bought a Caleb Williams shirt and that was that I just said to the crowd Hey, I love the Bears and they cheered and that was We needed a cheer, you know, you're doing a live watch party you need you know, you need the fans to cheer So Billy gave them something. That's all. Let it go, Billy. Let it be a man of the people. If you think his fandom extends out to Soldier Field, Chris,

you are wrong. You don't know Billy Gill. Arrowhead. Yup. You got to, you didn't go to Soldier Field yet though. You got to feel it first. You got to see it and feel it. Have you been there for a game?

So I didn't go for a game, but I went when I visited Chicago a couple of years ago on like one of those tours in the empty stadium situation. I'm with you. It seemed fine. It seems like a nice stadium, but they kept us inside because it was the dead of winter.

It was the end of January, so it was freezing. We walked out on the field for five minutes. They're like, all right, back up to the sweet level. But it seems cool because they built it inside, essentially, of the old stadium. The old stadium, exactly. So you still see the stadium stadium. Exactly. The stadium like facade or whatever. I think it's cool. I don't know why they hate it so much. I know. I don't

get it either. I think they're just they're sick of losing. So they think a new stadium will give them a better, you know, a fresh, fresh new look or whatever. Mikey, Chris made me think about something here because I think he's right. It's warmer later into the year in the Northeast and I think people from Florida are going to start moving back up to New York and they're going to have retirement places there. Yes, but I tell people all the time like I grew up playing ice hockey with my friends on pods on ponds in the Northeast. Not anymore. Nobody can go on a pond in the Northeast anymore

in the winter. I mean, I brought my kids on a pond last year. My wife almost divorced me and she was pissed at me for like three weeks. You don't know if that was solid or whatever. Like she went off on me. Like you don't go on. I mean, that's it. I literally, hey, hey, what are you doing?

Hey, it's January 10th. Hey, let's go to the pond. Let's play pickup hockey. Let's do that. There's no such thing as that in the Northeast anymore. No, there was a time where you could trust the ice. Now you can't. It might be thin. It might crack. It might break your kids. My I agree with your wife is what I'm saying. Yes. Yes. Yes. I get you. I get you. I probably agree with my wife too. Yes, you have to. PFT with Mike Floria, the Unbutton

podcast, football night in America, Sunday night football. He's doing college as well. We'll get to the big game for Texas this weekend. But Chris, I am interested here in your thoughts on what's going on with the Steelers and Russell Wilson because that is a fascinating, fascinating thing going on where Justin Fields

has played pretty good. The team is off to a four and two start, but I think there's more upside with Russell Wilson, and I think Mike Talman knows that and so he wants to see what he has there, right? I think so. I think you're kind of saying it right, right? It's four and two but there's with some bright spots with Justin Fields early in the year where you go, oh hey he's getting

better and better but it's hit a little bit of a lull the last few weeks. I'm not sure if he doesn't get the interception called back with the roughing passer, roughing the passer penalty last week. We didn't see Russell Wilson come in shortly after that. Yeah, he got lucky. They went and scored the touchdown. But I think like what you say, what you see, what I see, the Steelers are seeing the same thing. The offense is an underwhelming. They need a little bit of a jumpstart. Russell Wilson, he is a better passer than Justin Fields. So we'll see if he can make some more plays along those lines. I don't think it's going to be easy.

And I do think a Jets defense will be pissed off after the way they played last week. That was probably their worst showing of the year in that football game. I expect them to bounce back. And hey, with that and the way Mikey A and the Jets' offense looked, I was encouraged by last week. I know they're two and four, but I wouldn't count them out.

I'm picking them to beat the Steelers this week. I don't care if Russell Wilson's in there or not. It's still like, hey, he hasn't played football in a while and there ain't that many good things on that Steelers offense to root for. It feels a lot like the Steelers teams of the last few years. What is really great about the Steelers team?

They beat the teams they're supposed to. We're getting towards the time of the year where I'm going to start rooting against them because I don't want to see them and their boring ass style of play in the playoffs and a boring ass lopsided wild card game where they get into it and lose 30 to 12. Yeah.

What'd you see from the Jets that was encouraging? Well, I mean, one, they did motions and shifts like most good offenses in football. Holy balls, Batman. That was the first thing. Like, I mean, when they did that early in the game, I was like, Oh my gosh, what is about to happen here? The holy crap. But yeah, I'm more aggressive down the field. So I'm more, uh, schemes. Saw more schemes running the football, definitely. More formations, a little bit better of the tying plays together that I talk about all the time,

instead of just being in the shotgun and sitting there. It's like, hey, here's one play. OK, we run another play. Now it looks like the play we just ran two plays ago, but it's got a little different wrinkle to it or whatever. I saw some of that stuff. I like the flow of the offense and I think Devontae Adams energy bump, whatever you want to call it.

I think will be real for their football team. I'm still not counting the Jets out. I know they're two and four, but I think they're going to write this ship and still have a say in the AFC and be a player in this whole thing. Which team improved more this past week? Was it the Jets or the Bills? Oh, I think the Bills needed it more than the Jets, right? I think even like, like I said, even without Devonte Adams, I was encouraged by what we saw on Monday night. The Bills, I just kept going and I'm

happy to hear Brandon Bean saying we might make more moves and all that. You know, guys, you guys know me. I've been saying this for the last three, four years with Buffalo. They got to have more difference making players. Their offenses is going down the route again of, you know, oh yeah, we ran the ball a little bit against the Jets and oh, Josh Allen's just got to make some amazing plays. And that's it. There's no go to guy in the pass game like Dalton can K to tight end. Yes, but it's like it's hard to make the tight end the go-to guy all the time in

every scheme and everything else there. So Amari Cooper he can get open versus man he's a great route runner he could beat you deep over the top or he could do the underneath stuff they needed a guy like that because Keon Coleman ain't there Khalil Shakir is really a slot guy. That's where you want him. Matt Collins is really just a go-round guy. Now they got a guy that they can base the meat and potatoes that are offense around in Amari Cooper. I think that was much needed there in Buffalo.

The Bills definitely got better. But I mean, what do we do with the Browns? Like how do we how do we fix this team? Like now they're just eliminating pieces for Kevin Stefanski to use. No, I don't feel anything for the Browns. The Browns, I mean, I think they're looking at it going, hey, our offense sucks. Who cares if we go from suck to a little suckier?

I mean, who really cares? So I don't really see, like, you know, it is. It's bad. The quarterback's bad. And as we said, you know, the last few weeks, if it's not for that contract, he's benched. Every other quarterback in football is benched. We know that he doesn't give them the best chance to win. There's politics being played here because of that contract and all they traded traded for him to Houston to get them. So, yeah, I think it's really more of a cautionary or what I want to say a sign from Cleveland to go they're pretty much telling you it's over for this year and

If you want to blow us out of the water for some players on our team and give us some crazy assets will be sellers I would think they're gonna continue to be sellers. Maybe one of these three good corners. They got gets traded somewhere And I know people are talking about miles Garrett. I don't think that happens. Certainly not. But no, I mean, the Browns, I think, are pretty much telling you they're in the starting phase of building for the future rather than trying to salvage this season right now. With Deshaun Watson, though. With Deshaun Watson right now. Soon it's just going to be Deshaun Watson.

I mean, yeah. I don't know where this whole thing goes with him and the future and all that. But again, last week was sucky ducky once again from the Browns offense against the Eagles team that let them hang around forever in that one. Chris, me and Billy were discussing this earlier in the week. I'm so impressed with Baker Mayfield. I'm not certain Baker Mayfield shouldn't be the NFL MVP or at least on track to be the NFL MVP. What do you think? I don't think you're crazy there.

Again, I mean, stats, look, highlights, record of the team, they're all worthy of being in that conversation. He's leading the NFL in passing yards. He deserves to be in that combo. I think it'll be a great game on Monday night. I think it's going to be high scoring affair. Because oddly enough, the Ravens and the Buccaneers, two teams you kind of associate with defense,

let me just tell you, neither one of their defenses is very good. They're not. And they really can't stop the pass. That's the one thing. So I think you're going to see fireworks in this game, too, between both quarterbacks who are MVP candidates once again. Lamar, you're crazy if you don't say he's an MVP candidate.

100%. But yes, that Tampa offense with the two running backs they got, Sean Tucker's real deal Holyfield, him along with White, and then of course the weapons in the pass game and Baker being an aggressive thrower down the field in the strong arm. I hear you there, Stu Gotts. I don't think you're crazy with that thought at all. What'd you see out of Drake May? Saw some good, right? He does have a strong arm. He is a good athlete, right?

I also think there would be some things that I'd go a little concerning. Does he miss some throws that I just go, wow, is that egregiously missed? Yes, right? But I think there was more positives than negatives. Yes. The thing that you see from him is, again, feet all over the place, moving in the pocket for no reason, watching the rush a little bit.

He takes some crazy hits because he doesn't know what NFL open is yet, where it's like, hey, no, if a guy's open by this much, he's open in the NFL. That's not covered. And you've got to throw that ball. And he turns down some throws like that and then goes on to other guys and it's like, no, no, no, nobody's open. The guy was the first read was there that that was the play

to be had there. So I think a good start. Some of the concerns I talked about coming out in the draft are still there, but I think it was the right thing to let him play move on and we'll see what they can do and hopefully he can get better in some of those areas I talked about. Chris, what can you say about the Cowboys? I mean, that was embarrassing last week. They're an embarrassment. Jerry Jones going after local radio host.

The whole thing is a sh-t show. They're a team that are, you know, it's, I almost feel like, like what I said about the Steelers a little bit. It's like they're going to beat the teams they're supposed to beat and the lower class teams of football, but they're nowhere near the class of the top teams in the sport. Nowhere near it. I mean, come on, the Ravens, there was the onside kick and the Ravens messing up a little at the end of the game. The Ravens probably should have won that game by 30. And then yes, last week, I mean, that's good teams don't lose 47 to eight or nine, whatever the hell the score was. There's there's a little bit like I say with other teams. I mean, it's Dak Prescott and CD Lamb.

And that's all there is to talk about on offense. And of course, the offense is not overly creative or good. And then they can't run the ball defensively. They're small. They're missing their two best players. They're missing one of their good corners. Yeah, this is I you know, I again, I think they're like hang around 500 and have some say in the NFC but are never really a threat for us to think they're dangerous in the the playoff picture or or anything

like that. There are so many great games this weekend, Chris. Lions, Vikings. So I'm just going to throw out some games to you, and you give us some thoughts here, OK? Texans Packers to me is super intriguing. Jordan Love looks so good, man. Definitely. The Packers are really good.

They're just a young team. I think I said that to you last week, but I have no doubt that they're one of the most talented teams in football. Houston, of course, same kind of thing. So good. Now what I'll say about Houston is they haven't really played a great game the whole year. I know. Right? Let the Patriots kind of hang around for a while last week, right? That Jacksonville, they were kind of outplayed, but they found a way to win the game. That was like, again, Trevor Lawrence sucks when Billy said all that and all that side of stuff.

Like if he hit the broad side of the barn, the Jaguars gonna win that game. The Bills game, they dominate the first half, they're non-existent in the second half, right? The Minnesota Viking game, they got blown out. So I know they're good. I'm certainly not trying to say that, but I don't think they've played their best football yet and going up the Green Bay and an offense that I think can move the ball on this Texans defense. One of the best running offenses in football Jordan Love like you said, baller receivers ballers scheme baller. I like everything

about them. Now. I think Houston will move the ball in that Green Bay defense a little bit, but Green Bay's got some players on that side. I like Green Bay to win that one at home and a close one. It's going to be a great game. You brought up Trevor Lawrence. Is he good? I mean, he's solid right now. That's all.

That's about it. But he better be good this week if they want to beat the Patriots and save Doug Peterson's job. That's for sure. I really feel like Doug Peterson probably would have been fired last week if they weren't staying in London back to back week. So we'll see if they can salvage it. I expect them to beat the Patriots. I

do. They're more talented and they're desperate. I'm not certain the Lions aren't the best team in the NFL. They lost Aiden Hutchinson last week. That was gruesome to watch. It was terrible to watch, but they play the Vikings this week. What are your thoughts here? I like them. I'm going to take them to win the beat the Vikings. I agree. I think it's going to be a high scoring football game. I do. The Vikings can stop the run, but they don't stop the pass

all that well. The Lions do whatever they want on offense and they got it rolling right now and I think they're a team that's hot and feeling it on run game, pass game, all that disguise stuff where the Vikings put everybody at the line of scrimmage. Man, I'd be a little scared to do that with the Lions. One, we know it's a really good coach who will have some creative ideas. You get everybody down there at the line of scrimmage. Sometimes you don't get back where you need to get back to when it comes to the, like the, the getting back into zone coverage and the drop back pass game, or the Lions do a play

action fake and all those people the line scrimmage stay up towards the line scrimmage a little longer than they should and Jameson Williams or almond Ross St. Browns are zoom going down the field. I like the Lions in a in a shootout, you know, it stinks. They lost Aiden Hutchinson. I don't I don't think it really matters against most of the NFL and I don't mean to say that lightly Aiden Hutchinson's awesome

I'm one of the defensive players of the year But where I think like they're so good like you said Stu gots they're gonna beat most teams where I worry about it is like The upper tier teams of football. Oh, we're playing the Ravens in the Super Bowl Now we got a Butz Lamar because we can't get there with our front four. We're in the NFC championship game, right? Against the 49ers or whatever. And we can't get to the quarterback unless we blitz. And now we're compromised in the back end. To me, it's against the top tier teams in football where they're going to really miss Aiden Hutchinson. The 49ers chiefs game late is just a beauty. It really is. It's such a good game. I love Patrick Mahomes like every team Chris is making

all these moves getting this wide receiver getting that wide receiver and they asked Patrick and he's like, no, I'm good. We're good. We're fine. I am super intrigued by this game. The Chiefs don't need it. They're laughing at the rest of the league 5 and 0 coming off of bye week. Everyone's making moves. The Niners I feel like really need this game. So what are your thoughts here? Yeah, they do. I mean again, the the rest of the league five and coming off a bye week. Everyone's making moves the Niners. I feel like really need this game. So

what are your thoughts here? Yeah, they do. I mean again, the Niners three and three the best three and three team in football have a lot of things where you look at him and go man, that's good. the the the Chiefs. Hey, they're an

underdog. My home's rarely loses an underdog. Andy Reed rarely loses on a bye week. They got all that going. Shanahan's never beat Andy Reed. Shanahan has not beat Spagnolo, Flores, or Jim Schwartz as defensive coordinators, right? So there's some things there that definitely sway in the Chief's favor. So you know, Spags is one of those D coordinators that can match wits with Shanahan, and he can come up with new creative things that Shanahan hasn't been prepared for. Or he can't get him into like, hey, I've cracked the code. When I get in this formation or do this, I know what defense they're going to play.

Guys like Spags, he's just as smart. He finds new ways to attack and be creative and do all that stuff. So I find that interesting. Now what I will say is, thinks that Jordan Mason's not there because he's awesome. McCaffrey, I don't think he's playing, but he's getting close to being back healthy. Their offense is good in San Francisco and Brock Purdy, I will tell you, he's good. He's playing better than last year when they play in the Superbowl or the year before when the Chiefs beat them in the regular season. Brock Purdy is playing high level football right now.

He is making plays on his own, but this Chiefs defense we know is awesome. The other side is where I look at it to be interesting. The 49ers defense is not what we know it to be, Stu Gotts. Nick Bosa is a stud on the front D line. That's about it. Javon Hargraves hurt, right? Dre Greenlaw's not healthy yet from Super Bowl Achilles who fungus out.

Charvarius Ward's not playing great. The defense is the problem in San Francisco right now. And even though this Chiefs offense is not awesome, yeah, I like the Chiefs to win this game because of the things I said and the fact that I do think this Chiefs offense will be able to move the ball enough against this 49ers defense. PFT with Mike Florio every day on Peacock, the Unbutton

podcast, Football Night in America, Sunday night football. They got a big game. Jets and Steelers coming up this weekend. Oh, yeah, baby. I am wondering where you're at with your New York Yankees because you're up 2-0. Do you still want to fire Aaron Boone? No, I do not right now.

I do not. OK. But you might. You might want to later. Well, listen, I've been underwhelmed by some of that, you know, by the regular season and lack of winning big games and all that. Maybe this is the year they can change it. Right. I mean, it's fallen perfectly for us. Yes.

We get all we get to do is play the AL Central, who we just kicked the out of the whole regular season. Uh-huh. And hopefully it looks like our bots have kind of got hot at the right time. And now judge got a Homer and hopefully the, you know, the pressures off him. Um, it's there for the taking. Yeah. I, um, I'm rooting for, I think I was, I think I'm rooting for the Dodgers on the

other side though. You don't want them. I'm a little scared of the meds. That's cause you don't want to scare them. That's because you don't want to go to a game with us. I mean, that's the real thing. And I don't want to have the Mets having any bragging rights over the Yankees. So that's what I'm worried about more than anything.

So I'd like to just see the Dodgers win and be the Yankees Dodgers. I mean, Mikey A went to a game and actually sat with the people. So I mean, just. Way to go, Mikey A. Well, he's a man of the people. I would expect that. I mean, most Jets fans are. Most Jets fans are man of the people type of people. I'll give them that. Why do you say that? What are giant fans? Well, giants fans are a little eyebrow or like, hey, I have a hundred dollar cigar and I'm going to go sip some cognac in between quarters.

And if we're down by seven, I might not yell that loud the rest of the game, right? The Jets fans are like, you know, we took our truck here to the game, we tailgated. I drank 74 beers. We're down by 23, but I'm still yelling like it's three nothing in the first quarter. That's the Jets fans are a little better that way. It's like you were there with me. It's like you were there with me.

Billy, I can't tell you how accurate Chris Simms is sizing up Jets and Giant fans, it's really funny actually. I took my wife to a Jets game early on in our marriage. It was a Colts Jets game and I was like, nah, f*** this. I'm going to sit in the stands like right in the like 40 yard line, right in the lower tier. Oh no. Oh no is right. Within the first 20 minutes I was like, I made a mistake. I should have never brought my wife here to this game. And I'm probably going to get in a fight with

somebody because they're going to say something inappropriate. But they, they pushed the line, but never went too crazy. And we enjoyed the game for the most part. Chris, what are your thoughts? Your Texas out before we let you go, Texas and Georgia. Yeah, all good. Yeah. Yeah. What a big one. Oh, I mean, it was there for us. I mean, Jesus. Yeah. Well, we're good. Texas is real. I haven't said that in a long time. I think we're better than Georgia. There's no doubt about it. Actually, I hope yours is hitting on all cylinders. He was a little rusty to start last week. We probably should

have beat Oklahoma by 50. They never really stopped us the whole game. I expect them to be hitting on all cylinders and Georgia defense isn't as stout as we've seen in years past. And I do think Georgia lacks a big time playmaker on the offensive side of the ball that we've seen them have when they've, you know, been dominating college football for the last four years. Texas, not the case. We got ballers everywhere. We got two or three receivers that can go to the house from anywhere. Our tight end is good. Our running backs can take it to the house. I think Texas, I think we win by a touchdown. That's what I'm going with. I'll take it one step further. I think Texas blows them out.

Wow. Wow. I just, um, all I worry about is just Georgia's been in a lot of these games, right? The last four or five years. This is the first time Texas has been, I feel like in this game in front of their home crowd. Yeah. And I just hope they don't, you know, the better come out a little nervous early on and let Georgia hang around or get up to a lead early. All right, man. We enjoyed it. As always,

PFT with Mike Florio, the Unbuttoned Podcast, Football Night in America. He's got college football duties. He's all over the place. He's Chris Simms. We love him. It's the best hour of our week.

So Billy, I can't wait to hear about these picks. Boy, boy. Yeah.

Wait, Carl. I didn't imagine. I'm glad Carl's back. I miss his voice and his face. This is amazing. You know, the problem is, I figured it out. The problem is, if I go on my own thinking, I kick ass. But if I listen to Mojo or K-Fuck's bulls**t, I change my vote.

That's what I've been losing. The last time I went to the game, I was like, I'm going to go to the game. I'm going to go to the game. I'm going to go to the game. I'm going to go to the game. I'm going to go to the game. I'm going to go to the game. I'm going to go to the game. I'm going to go to the game. I'm going to go to the game. is if I go on my own thinking, I kick ass. But if I listen to Mojo or K-Funk, I change my vote, that's what I've been losing. The last three weeks I've gone on my own,

I have been on listen to y'all bulls**t and I've been kicking ass. That's wrong. Today's the test then. I'd rather you kick ass than Mojo who went five and out. Well, here's the thing. I definitely, if you Carl,, if I were you, Carl, I definitely would not go by K-Funk

because K-Funk is having an atrocious season so far. No, he can't be. Not my boy K-Funk. No. Yeah. Carl, listen. It's not how you start, baby. It's how you finish.

It's a long season. It is a long season, but it's catching up to K-Funk pretty quickly because I think, Carl, you've jumped out to quite a lead and I don't think K-Funk is going to be able to catch up to you and now it's yeah now now's we're gonna get to the point here where K-Funk starts asking if we counted the first week and all of that stuff that he does every week. I will tell you guys this Carl three of the of the last four weeks has gone four and one. And the week in between went two and three. So Carl has jumped out to a commanding first place lead.

He's 15, nine and one. He's at a six twenty win percentage right now. Six twenty? Oh my goodness. Wow. Carl, can you jump off the show and just text me your pics on the side please? the the the the

the the the the Then we have Brandon Seiler who also joined us from the casino last week. He also went three and two, so he has a 600 win percentage. Now we get to more of the regular cast. Leading the rest of you is Mojo, who's 15, 13 and two with a 534 win percentage. Below Mojo, welcome.

Mojo, welcome. Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh. He heard his name. Mojo. Come on, guys. Mojo, we were just going over the standings. Of the regulars right now, you're in second place. Then, of the regulars, you are next up with a 15, 13, and 2 record

after a 5-0 week last week for the spread master. Oh. Yeah. Big week. Mojo's percentage is 534. Are those um, are those tears running down Creston's face? Are you crying dude? He's going through it right now. I'm not at all thanks to him. Yeah, he's having a rough week. Also, Carl, last week you missed. K-Fump came out and he was very excited because he wanted to share with us a

coconut water brand that I guess he got for free. And then immediately had Mike and Mojo come and just pull out substantially more amounts of the exact same coconut water that they were sent for free. So K-Funk got a bottle, then Mike got, you know, like a pallet. No, I actually got, I actually, they're the reason that they have that coconut water

is because of Mojo. Allegedly, allegedly. Okay, if you wanna say it that they have that coconut water. Allegedly, allegedly. If you want to say it that way, that's fine. And then Mojo came out with essentially a coconut farm that he had in his garage

of all the flavors, all the boxes of every every every case imaginable you could get of this coconut water that K Funk I guess claims he put them in contact with. Yeah, I agree to disagree on that one. Yeah. Okay. Alright. Keep going with the standings. Yeah, agree to disagree on that one. Yeah,

okay. Alright, keep going with the standings. So, the standings, K Funk is next at 1216 and two with a 433 win percentage which is not good. Yeah, not good. Yikes. He's uh he's just above Cheyenne who joined us one time. I was I

was two and three last week. You were two and three last week. Yeah, that that's your best week. Congratulations. That was a good week for you bro. Round of applause for Funkin' his best week on God Bless Football at two and three. Still a loser, but not as much of a loser as he normally is. Let me prop this phone up here so I can clap. I'll just get out in front of this and say, I have no place to make, I'm in no place to make fun of K-Funk. I have been just abysmal on this show.

Since my 15 and I'll start where I was Megan, not telling anyone. I have, I don't think I've cracked 500 yet. Thank God. No, you're not close. You're five and ten right now. 15 and I'll start. You're five and ten. Three weeks and a one and four.

Where am I Billy? You are above him. You are 10, 18 and two. You have a 367 win percentage. Gordy Gordy's tied with Mike at a 333 win percentage. Gordy is not 19. I mean, good company at least. Yeah, but never don't.

You guys are terrible. You guys are terrible. Terrible. None of you. I don't last place. the company at least. Yeah, Yeah, pretty much much I will say this though the bill the I never go against the bills or the Bengals and I went against both of them because of Mojo

and both those games were yes they lost but I don't know if you all watch them those are crazy games the Jets should have covered but I'm like you know that come on. Yeah.. Are those excuses that I'm hearing to go along with the tears? Just a statement. Just a

statement. Goodness gracious. My team didn't win but I thought they would. Is that what you just said? I think. Long season but it's a long season. Hey, whatever. It's only gonna get worse. Look, we just gotta look at the tape and

get better. Yeah, I will. I will say this if we're if we're going back to the original rules here, Mojo won last week so he can't eliminate someone. the you know how much we would get done? We'd be able to tell stories again and have fun. Ratings would go back up. You don't tell stories because you're married. So come on now. Real quick, I do want to give a shout out. Today is a very special day for someone on this podcast. One year ago today, Mojo retired.

Dean was born. He outkicked his coverage. He married his beautiful wife. And I don't know how she puts up with him, but happy anniversary, buddy. I'm so happy. Dean was born. Uh It's the one year anniversary of your one year anniversary. you're going to get a lot of the show. And Gordy changed his flight for the show by the way. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Wow. Yeah. I was actually sober enough to do it. Mojo's not driving. I notice which is good

because we've had you guys doing this while driving in the past. Yeah. Yeah. Barry, a winner, boys. Alright, the first game this week is going to be the Lions at the Vikings. The Vikings are a one and a half point favorite. Mike, who do you have in this one? The Vikes are favored?

Yeah. I thought they were dogs, home dogs. Either way, I'll go Jakes. It opened that way, but it just moved a little. Okay, I'll go Vikes. Vikes gotta get some respect at some point coming off the bye. All right, Mojo. Well, coming off of a.

Yeah, that's a. As I'm taking the line. All I heard was half of a lion. Something, something screw. Yeah, I am. I'll take the lions. I think that's what he said. K Funk who do you have in this one? That's the cliff note but yeah. I'm with Mike here on this one. I think I think I'm one of the people that wasn't giving them any respect

to but come off the buy. I think they added acres this week. I'm not sure what Aaron Jones's health is but I'm going to take the mic. You seem you seem low energy today. Are you okay? Yeah, I'm good. Is it just the I mean, a hurricane just a hurricane just destroyed Tampa. So, I have a bunch of people

staying over with lady friends that lost their houses and stuff. So, I have like a K-Funk camp over here. That's really nice of you. Yeah, you're so nice. Yeah.Funks, over here. That's really nice of you, K-Funks. Yeah, he was so nice. Yeah. God bless.

Yeah. Do they want to make picks or? I mean, you got energy for all those ladies. Yeah. Good energy vibes for them. Any of them want to make picks or what are you thinking? No, not this week. Well, Cheyenne is there.

Tell Cheyenne that she's a, she has a 400 win percentage. She's just below you, honestly. She'll be back eventually. Okay, good. She wants to pick again. OK, good. All right, Gordy, who do you have in this one? I'm taking a bye from Vegas. So since I'm taking a bye from there

and Minnesota's coming off the bye, I'm going to go with Minnesota. OK. Carl? Ryan Flores has been good all year. Underrated coming off the bye. I'm going with the Vikings. Oh. I like it. I'm going with the Vikings.

Did you Carl? That was your thoughts? Yeah. Is that what you came in here thinking or were you influenced by K-Funk? All right. Share Bear, who do you have? Who's playing? Who the Vikings got? It's the Lions at the Vikings. Vikings are one and a half point favorite. I don't know. Big weekend. I'm still thinking about Gordy's little threesome in Detroit. So maybe it's a good luck charm, but do you like Minnesota? This is a tough time. The lake shut down, it's only got strip clubs out there in the skyway. I'm going Lions.

Okay. Carl, you when you were out as well. gave his Texans at Packers are a three point favorit go with the home uh home NFC north off to historic healthy. One of the great Yeah, I'll go. I'll go with the the packers. Packers. Unless you're not. Hey, unless you're

not though. Go, go. Okay. K-Funk. Well, as much as I'd like to go against Mojo, I think the Packers, they did me good last week. I think like Mike said, they're heating up. They're coming back in that form at the end of last

year's. All right Gordy. I'm just going to keep a sample. I'm on the train right now. Go Packers. What is going on yeah Carl I hope you're not influenced by everybody here. I'm going with my. Get their D. line. Your love is not

good. All right share their. You know I mean I was gonna think about the Texas until- Rollins came up with a historic start I mean that's got a good good back. Historic start but with that. I love you must Mike Jones I always love. Get that

layover in Houston staying at that Marriott and trying to find a special someone at that little Margarita. So, I'm going to Houston. I'm going to Texas. Alright, Texans. Alright, next one. Chiefs and 49ers. Carl,

I'm gonna have you go first because I feel like you may be getting influenced here and I don't want you to be clouded by the things that other people are saying. So, the Chiefs are at the 49ers. The 49ers are one and a half point favorite. I said it in the first week.

Every week I'm taking the Chiefs. All right. Mike. Yeah. And this is my reasoning maybe too often, but Andy Reed coming off of a bye can't go against that. I'm going to you. Mojo. Well against that. I'm going to Mojo. Well guys, I'm taking the chiefs but only because there is an unbelievable

amount of hype around them right now as it turns out. There is a new movie coming out that is based on the Travis Kelsey, Taylor Swift relationship. And I don't know how on earth they landed this young gentleman, but they cast an absolute stud to play Travis Kelsey. I mean, this dude is on absolute fire right now. And with all that energy that he's bringing to the team there's

absolutely no chance the Chiefs lose this game. I've heard of this guy they call him the tight end whisperer I think. That is true he also plays Gord's younger brother in that Aaron Hernandez television show actually heard is he also is Todd powers the high noon lifestyle guard in addition to and this is probably more important than all these things combined He is the face of depend adult diapers. He's on the packaging Does he does he have regrets about that yet or no? No, none actually. It's been really good. The paycheck was too good. I was wondering the same thing but I tell you what it's brought the whole family together and now sales are off the charts people aren't so

nervous to wear these things anymore. I think gordon we probably should have used these back in the party days in case we were part and we would have never had to like leave to go to the bathroom. Well, Dean, you might not be able to still

party but I can still wear them. Yeah, that's true. You you should wear. You should be the next year guy. Okay. Well, I'm going to Vegas next week. So, I'll make, can you sell some please do? Yeah, please. Where it depends at Vegas. How many, how many times a year do you go to Vegas, Gordy? I can't count

that high twice a week. Yeah. I remember last season of the season before I think you were there like three straight weeks and you just never left. You missing my flight and you just stayed there. It was like 11 days, 12 days. I couldn't miss the show. So, I kept having left. You're missing my flight and you

just like 11 days, 12 days. I couldn't miss the show. So, I kept having to cancel my flight. That was the time that I think you showed up and you just pulled a rabbit mascot head out from under your mat. You're you're in the bedroom. Yeah,

that was at one of my best friends place. He's a porn star and he had that in his bedroom. Okay. Yeah. Like you do. It's the the the the the

the the the the the the I bet against two of them last week I lost so I can't go against my homes. Give me the Chiefs All right, Gordy to Carl now, yeah I don't know I just feel like I have to go opposite because literally everyone took the Chiefs So I need to try to get a point up to catch up from in the standings

We'll come back to him. All right, Carl, the next game is the Jets at the Steelers. The Jets just got Devonte Adams. Steelers are probably going to start Russell Wilson. It looks like the Steelers are 2 and 1 half point underdogs right now hosting the Jets. It's a tough pick. I think it's important for the Jets to win this game for their whole season because

of all the pressure Even though my wife and her family are from Pittsburgh. I'm going with the Jets. All right Jets Mike who do you have? Well when I I'll never pick Russell Wilson I don't like him and it has nothing to do with him shredding my defense going 17 for 18 250 yards and four touchdowns when he was at Wisconsin and I was at the University of Minnesota. I am not bitter about that, but I'm going with the Jets. Okay Mojo.

What was the game again? It's the Jets at the Steelers. Steelers are two and a half point underdogs at home. Oh okay. Let's go ahead and be scientific about this for a guaranteed win. Just right opposite funk. Okay opposite funk. So Kay Funk who do you have in this one? I can't believe I'm even doing this for the second week in a row but I am taking the Jets so I'll give Mojo Pittsburgh. Mojo has the Steelers. Gordy who do you have? It's hard the I don't know. Does that make sense? I don't know. I think you had an extra letter but that's okay. Alright, perfect. What do we got here? What do we

got here Mojo? Who's coming on? Yeah, who's coming on? We got a ninth man. Oh, disappeared. Oh, maybe not. Fake out. Alright. Um driving through a bad patch. My service might go. We'll see. We'll come back to uh all right Mojo. We'll just go to you then because it's the last game anyways ravens at buccaneers

The buccaneers are three and a half point underdogs against the ravens Give me Maryland All right It's the Maryland ravens not just baltimore Uh kfunk will be at the game boots on the ground. I'm not just the box. Give me the box. use them yet though? No, no. It depends how traffic is. Guys, let me do a little intro here even though I just did it a second ago, but as it turns out through firm DNA testing, the world has discovered that that K-Funk is a loser. That's first. But second, this guy right here is actually my cousin, Leith

Chaz Walschlager, and he's been viral all week for this Gronk portrayal, the Kelsey portrayal, and obviously depend on all these other fun things. But here he is. He's on the show. We love it. What's up, guys? What's up Latham? Can you do me a favor? Could you make picks as Rob Gronkowski because I mean Oscar worthy is an undersell of how that went. Well actually I don't know if he can because um actually Lathes agent called me last night and his agent was pissed because he was like my client is So much more jack than that washed up clown Robbie G

Oh, wow, he's so much more jacked than him that dude just totally started phoning it in and We we don't want you to portray him anymore. So he severed that relationship Yeah, you know I, I have video footage of when we did the kick of one with Rob confirming that I am more Jack than he is. So we have the- Oh my gosh. Lake, is this developing into a rivalry of sorts?

Yeah. I don't know, you know, I think at some point, Rob and Travis will have to do a model-off in Depends to see who gets the best, I believe. But of course, for a good cause, right? Yes, to find out who's more jacked. Yes, absolutely. Leif, before you came on, we were asking Mojo if now that you have your newfound success

as Rob Gronkowski and as Travis Kelce, if you have any regrets about the Depends ad that you did. Absolutely not. Okay, great. Yeah, no, but my, you listen, man, you just gotta, you gotta own it in life. There's a lot of people who Feel the game when they have to wear something like that But if you know the way the Dean and I have partied over the years It's been a very big asset for us, especially at the Hard Rock Hotel

Like does it does it pay more to be a depend model than to play Robert Travis? I'm technically an international underwear model and I tell you it definitely pays better you find my products all the way in China, India, even Pakistan. All sizes. Wait a minute. Hold on, not to get too into this, but you didn't just get paid a fee for one shoot? You're making money depending on sales? No, I do not have a royalty deal. If he was, he wouldn't be on this podcast with us.

Just for that one photo shoot you made more than you made to be Rob and Travis Kelsey in movies Billy why don't you give late all five of the game? Yeah late Do you want to make some football picks this week with us? Yeah, what you got man? Is this NFL? Yeah NFL so the first game is the Lions at the Vikings. The Vikings are 1 and 1.5 point favorites at home. Are they still undefeated? Yeah. Ooh.

Well, I know the Lions. I don't want to beat the crap out of the Cowboys, right? So they're pretty hot. The Vikings, baby. I think they're going to roll them. All right, the Vikings. Then the next one's the Texans at the Packers. The Packers are 3 point favorites at home. Texans at Packers. You know, I'm a man of the faith.

I love Jesus Christ and so does CJ Stroud. That guy is on one. He's playing lights out this year, so I gotta give it to the Texans. Okay, the next one's the Chiefs of 49ers. 49ers are one-and-a-half-point favorites at home. Chiefs are still undefeated right? Yeah. I tell you what you get into the fourth quarter late in the game you give the ball to my homes you can't go wrong like he's like our new age Tom Brady I gotta go with the Chiefs but you're on the Chiefs also I guess in the movie right so you can't go against your own team right. That's why I took the chief flight. All that hype. It's a lock.

Yeah. All right. Next one is the Jets at the Steelers. The Steelers are two-point underdogs at home. Ooh, you know, Devontae Adams should have got traded to the Jets. That's going to be a nice homecoming for Aaron Rodgers, but it might take Peter D'Boo to get the playbook acclimated. But then again, they're starting Russell.

Wow. So it might get a little rusty. I don't know. Someone's dicey. So you clearly don't know. I'm gonna go with the veteran Aaron Rodgers. I'm thinking he writes a chip. That was a wild ride. That was a roller ride. That was undefeated. now. Yeah, late undefeated. Okay, fun. Well, as it turns out, late also is the third person on this call right now that has ties to the Arizona Cardinals. Wow. Who's who's Dean? I know you were there.

Who else was there? So I brought his brothers there for now. Yeah. you were there. Who else was there? So, I brought his brothers there for now. Yeah. for now. That was that was uh that was cold. Billy. I'm sorry. Oh, wait. No. No. You know what? Billy, I'm sure what

you meant is he's a young hot name and he'll probably get some head coaching interviews and that's what I meant. That's what I meant. I'm sorry, Mike. I apologize. Well, you will be banned from the stadium when that happens, really. If you noticed, Mike, I did just saw that I didn't put them on this week. We're not going to pick the Cardinals game again. I feel like we're bringing them bad luck. Yeah. Well, the two times we've picked them, it's been by far the worst games of the season. Yeah. All right. So, Carl, who would you like? Would you like the Ravens or the B. Yeah. All right, so Carl, who would you like?

Would you like the Ravens or the Buccaneers? Oh, Carl, also you don't know. Mike's brother is the defensive coordinator for the Cardinals, that's why. Yeah. And I didn't know you can make millions with the pins, man. I'm a big time lawyer in LA and Hollywood, so give me a call, okay?

Wow. I'm going, listen, I'm going with the Ravens. I think Lamar Jackson is too hot right now. The bucks can't stop me. Give me the Ravens. Well what are you hoping for Carl? Like a like a depends leakage than a slip and fall situation? No, no.

The next contract negotiation. He made millions under PENZ. The next contract come to me. I'm in Hollywood. Maybe Hollywood. Okay. Mike, who do you have in this one? He made millions and he made millions underpins. The next contract come to me. I'm in Hollywood, maybe Hollywood. Okay.

Mike, who do you have in this one? Ravens or Buccaneers? I'll go Ravens. They might be the best team in football, so Ravens. Gordy, Ravens or Buccaneers? Since Big Rob is going back, I think the crowd's gonna be hype. Ooh.

Yeah. Breaking. He's bringing a lot of hurricane relief the crowd. I think since big Rob is going back, I think the crowd is going to be hype. Ooh yeah. Hurricane relief and uh he's been helping out the community in the city and he's going there to bring a lot of energy and get that dub. So, I'm going, I'm taking the

points. Is it real Rob or better Rob? Oh yeah. Good question. Jack Rob. Jack Rob. Big Rob. So, II got a Rob question actually. Tall, skinny Rob you mean. Not the one right there on the screen over here. That's character Rob. Rob was playing a part in that movie on Apple TV with Matt Damon.

He's just like the hype man for the Crooked Mayor. Yeah, I wouldn't even know after I seen Lathes performance. I mean, that dude's gonna win an Emmy. So he should just play Big Rob in every show because that was unbelievable acting. Yeah, Lathes, you want the Ravens or the Buccaneers? Buccaneers are three and a half point underdogs at home. I'm a Florida man these days, bro.

I gotta go with the Bucs. Okay. Boo, you forgot your roots. Yeah, you went against your roots. Wow. And for keeping good records, I got ShareBear's picks. He took the 49ers, the Steelers, and the Bucs. Hey, now that my cousin's on the call, you know, my family,

can everyone tell him who went undefeated last week? Like no losses, zero losses? Yeah. Carl, right? Oh, no. Not last week, this week. Yeah, late last week, your cousin went undefeated. Carl went four and one.

K-Funk, if you were wondering. I don't know, have you met K-Funk before, or is this the first time? I've known Leite for 10 years now, feeling. I'm just asking. What was the game we went to when you were, Leite used to play in the, it was the Arena League, right?

The Jacksonville Sharks. We played the Tampa Bay Storm that year. Dude, me and Mojo and Jal and like, how many do we have, like 25, 30 of us? And we all made signs, we got a tweet, we all made signs for Lathes. One of them said like, what is it? Lathes can't poop or something? I forget, dude. No, Lathes poops. We made a dozen signs that were aimed at embarrassing him as much as we possibly could. So, Lathes can poop in his pants. So, it all worked out.

That was a second beforehand. Giving back the cards, baby. All right. Well, that's all the games for this week. Hopefully next week, let's get a time that we can all be in the same place so that it's a little less confusing if possible. Good luck! Yeah oh and Mojo happy anniversary happy one year anniversary of your one year anniversary. That's it there we go buddy. Smirnoff knows there's no eye in football.
