Starting point is 00:03:14 God bless football, Mikey A. God bless football, Stu Gutz. 13 wins for Sam Dornold in his Jets career. 13 this season alone for the Minnesota Vikings. I hate them. I'm starting to get- Yeah, I'm not bitter about it. I'm starting to get why you guys hate them. You get it now, right?
Starting point is 00:03:34 Yeah. We took some solace- 14 years didn't give you a clue in there. I did take some solace in Geno Smith during that late interception as another former Jets quarterback, but happy holidays to you guys. Hey, happy holidays to you StuGots.
Starting point is 00:03:51 I got some good news, Mike, yeah, I got some good news. So we don't have any sponsor obligations today. We're kind of just doing this for funsies because we're in the middle of the college football playoffs. The NFL playoffs race is heating up. So I have some segments that I wanna try out and because we're not sponsored, I don't think there's anything stopping us from doing them.
Starting point is 00:04:09 You wanna hear what they are? So I have a couple things. I have one called product of the day. Ooh, in which I'll show you a product of the day. Okay, Billy, before you continue with your new segments here, you do have Billy's Big Board bets today, correct? I do, I have some. We need that. I have some bets.
Starting point is 00:04:26 People wanna know about that. No, not after last week. Last week was a two and five week. We can get into what happened last week later on. Yeah, but it is a big bounce back week, a BBB as they call it, a big bounce back for the BBBBBs. Listen, if anybody has been following this podcast
Starting point is 00:04:42 and watching and listening to us all season, you know this, that was a good loss week for you, Billy. That was a good loss. You needed that for the rest of the season. Much like, much like we said, the lions needed a loss. Look what happened yesterday. Boom. Yep.
Starting point is 00:04:55 Reset. Here's the thing about that. Reset. Lions, lions pretending we're falling down to throw touchdowns. I don't like that. I don't like that. I don't like that. I don't like that Did you see somebody found the play from Green Bay when Green Bay played Chicago and they actually fell down and then the guy Got up and threw a wide open touchdown and
Starting point is 00:05:16 The OC was like, you know what that might work for us, too. Let's just fake the fall down though Yeah, someone someone tweeted at us and and they may be right to cute. We're upsetting the football gods. I don't know that this is what we want to be doing at this time of the year. I'm not positive. Also, also, I have a segment that I like to call video roulette. Wow. So video roulette product of the day. We also have I believe we, if the season ended today, and we have winners and losers. So we have a lot to get to today, Billy.
Starting point is 00:05:50 I don't wanna be here too long, we're on vacation. Well, here's the thing about Video Roulette is, this is how Video Roulette works, and we've played this game before. I just gave it a different name this time. Okay. We're basically just gonna send out the link to this conversation that we're on right now and see who joins that
Starting point is 00:06:08 we send the link to. So video roulette is an ongoing game throughout the recordings. Now, okay, here's the thing, because of the time of the year, I also don't really want to send it to like, I don't want to say this the wrong way, important people. So I feel like this is Billy Gill's C-list video roulette where we just kind of send it to people that we think might hop on what do you think okay why just for funsies just because you know it's holiday time you catch up with friends and family what do you think I have one person that I'm gonna
Starting point is 00:06:39 send it to and honestly I'm waiting on this person's. I sent it a little while ago cuz I decided we're playing video roulette whether you said yes or no, I'm sending the links to people. Okay. So, this person I will work around here. I will just tell you what I sent them initially. I said, are you working today and will you get in trouble if you join us on a podcast? Alright. That's the only clue and I haven't heard back. So, I think the follow up is just gonna be a link to this to the zoom what do you think I'm fine with that who have you
Starting point is 00:07:07 sent it to can you can you share so far no one I haven't said to anyone yet but if you're in I think we should all send the link to three to four people and then see who joins us what do you think I think Stu froze again that's what yeah we're gonna play another game this episode, it's called, Su Gats's Wi-Fi Keeps Freezing, and we're gonna get through it together. Yeah, that wasn't my Wi-Fi, man! I'm fine, I'm still here! It was, no, it was not my Wi-Fi. It wasn't my Wi-Fi! Okay, so this is what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna send my first,
Starting point is 00:07:37 I'm gonna send my first video roulette invitation, because this person may be joining us from an airplane. Okay, so this is the first of the invitations being sent to C-list celebrities, is that what you're saying? C is a bit of a stretch. Billy C-list. Billy C-list. Yeah, C is a bit of a stretch.
Starting point is 00:07:56 So we have some football to talk about. Billy G-list. It should be his G-list, no? The Eagles and the Commanders. Yeah, what about them? Eagles 33, Commanders 36. We good? It should be his G-list, no? The Eagles and the Commanders. Yeah, what about them?
Starting point is 00:08:07 Eagles 33, Commanders 36, we good? No, I'm kidding, that was actually a good game. That was definitely a, no, we good, yeah. That was a good game. Yeah, it was interesting because the Eagles appeared to be running away with that game early on. Jalen Hurts suffers a concussion, he's out, Kenny Pickett, we found out he's in Philadelphia together at the same exact time. Kenny Pickett comes in. That was
Starting point is 00:08:28 a great game. Jaden Daniels, man. I'm not certain, just considering how bad Washington has been over the last, I don't know, decade or so. That guy has saved their franchise. He might be, he might be the MVP. I'm not certain he shouldn't be the MVP considering I'm watching did what you say of the NFL Billy he's been really good he's not gonna win the MVP of the NFL I'm not saying he's going to win it he's likely not but you can make an argument that he deserves it if you're talking about true value Jim Daniels is certainly in that conversation he has turned that franchise around, man. Rookie of the Year.
Starting point is 00:09:07 Why can't we just, let's just cap it right there. He's offensive Rookie of the Year. Brock Bowers, thanks for coming out. Well, hold on, hold on. Both of you do me a favor. Can we just slow down for a second so we have a lot to get to, and I'm placating you guys in all your games.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Go ahead and give me a guy who's more valuable to his team than Jaden Daniels is to Washington. Josh Allen. Josh Allen. Okay, good, you win valuable to his team than Jaden Daniels is to Washington. Josh Allen. Josh Allen, okay, good, you win. All right, so Jaden Daniels, five touchdowns yesterday, two interceptions. Here's a stat that I stole from the NFL Network.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Jaden Daniels has four passing touchdowns in the final 30 seconds of the fourth quarter overtime. It is the most since the merger. So he is pretty clutch. He's keeping, well, he's winning games for them. I'm a little bit worried about how much he's running, to be honest with you. He already has the rib injury situation.
Starting point is 00:09:52 He's a bit on the smaller side, and he's putting himself out there going on these runs, and he's taking hits, which I'm a little worried about long-term. Mike, are you worried about it? It's a get down situation. It's a every time he runs you're like, yes, yes, yes, get down.
Starting point is 00:10:10 Get down. That's all. He's such a good player. But he has to run. It's part of his game. I'm okay with it. He seems to have that ability. I know he's a little bit banged up, Billy, but he's played for the most part and seems to have the ability to kind of run and not get injured unlike RG 3.
Starting point is 00:10:25 So he injured his ribs. I understand. But for the most part, he is he's been healthy and he's played this year. But I think that came on a sack, which is right can happen any quarterback. Yeah. Yeah. What do you think of the product of the day real quick while we wait for for the next game here?
Starting point is 00:10:44 No, I want to know who you sent the link out to. I want to know who's a. Well, this person, this person said they were boarding an airplane. I don't, I don't, I don't think that they're going to join. I think that what's going to happen with video roulette is no one's going to join because it's two days before Christmas and everyone's on vacation and no one wants to be working today. Yes. Boarding an airplane is a, it's a, it's a pretty safe excuse to use, is it not? Yeah, I was trying, well by the way for all the Lucy fans out there,
Starting point is 00:11:09 Lucy's will not be joining us today. Today is a travel day for Lucy which is fine because here's another segment that I like to call what I learned this weekend. You know what I learned this weekend Stu Gatz? What? Four teams playoff, just fine, just fine. We were good with four teams. 12 teams, not necessary. Eight teams, not sure that's gonna be necessary either. Four teams, more than enough. Mikey, it was the absolute worst case scenario
Starting point is 00:11:35 for the college football playoff, the expanded playoff, the college football ball committee. Everyone appears like they don't know what they're doing. bad. I mean the one they were trying to hype us up like, all right, but Tenn like that's SEC Big 10. L
Starting point is 00:11:57 get a good end. No, it wa quarter. It was, it was j is just this is exactly what the playoffs didn't want. This is exactly what the committee didn't want. It's what I said earlier in the season. Billy, what the expanded playoff is going to do is give the appearance that guys like James Franklin are actually doing a good job. I mean, it's a nonsense. I mean,
Starting point is 00:12:21 but don't worry Boise State and Arizona State are coming to save the day next week right mean, but don't worry Boise state are coming to save the day next week. Right now, but James Franklin can say now, I'm one and oh in the post season. Well, you made it there. Your comment that the football playoffs are a bad
Starting point is 00:12:40 idea because of that exact reason. If James Franklin is winning college football playoffs games, too many teams have made the college football playoffs catching a little bit of fire on Saturday a lot of Franklin is winning college football playoffs games, too many teams have made the college football playoffs. Catching a little bit of fire on Saturday. Lot of people in the college football community were spreading that out.
Starting point is 00:12:51 So good for you, Stigatz, yeah. They were upset with me? No, they were saying you were right. They thought that it was a very good take. I have another game. Good for you. Wait, Billy, hold on one second, because I wanna ask you guys something.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Like, I want you to think about what we have coming up next. The teams that were waiting to play Penn State Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, in terms of the the brackets, I think. Are you telling me Alabama doesn't give Penn State a better game? Oh, enough with Alabama. All right, Mississippi. Well, them two, enough of them. I have another game. Does one upset save it? Does one good upset save it? Yes.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Like, is that enough? Anything. I mean, did Ryan Day, was his job saved by winning a game he was supposed to win? No he has to win two more. Oh okay. Well he does. He has to win three more. Oh you want a quick winner and loser presented by Smear and Off the World's Number One Vodka Police Drink Responsibly? Not sponsored but I'm just throwing it in there for funsies. We still love them. Yeah we still love them.
Starting point is 00:14:00 You want a winner and loser because I have a big loser from this weekend. Sure. Kurt Signetti, big loser this weekend. Oh boy. Guy was flying way too close to the sun this season. He was the darling coach of the year everywhere, going out there on college game day. We don't just beat top 25 teams. We beat that out of them. No, sir, you do not. You played no one this year. and honestly, if I were you, I would have opted out of the playoffs entirely to keep my stock high and go get a big job when Ryan Day gets fired.
Starting point is 00:14:30 But no, no, no, not so fast, my friend. You're stuck in Indiana for the foreseeable future. It is such a great point by Billy that Signetti would have been better off saying no thanks to the playoffs. We're good. We're not gonna But I'm going to get it. We're not going to be in my case.
Starting point is 00:14:47 I would honestly, if I was him and I'm sure that this has not happened and Indiana, Indiana hates this show. And I apologize for that and anything that anyone said on this show to piss off Indiana. However. I feel like Kurt Signetti, you know, while teams are out there and they're, you know, petitioning, oh, we deserve to get in, we're a bubble team, we get in, look at our strength and schedule, look at our this and that, like all the teams that are fighting to get in, I feel like privately, Kurt Signetti should have been going around to like the members of the committee, like,
Starting point is 00:15:19 we're good, we're good, leave us out, it's fine, like don't put us in, it's fine, trust me, like I'll get you back for this one, and they're like, no, no, you're in, We're good. Leave us out. It's fine. Like don't put us in. It's fine. Trust me. Like I'll get you back for this one." And they're like, no, no, you're in. You're in. And Curry's like, no, no, no, no, no, no. We don't want to be in. What do you mean by get you back for this one? I'll pay you back down the road. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:34 That's how it works. That's how favors work. You know what I mean? Like, hey, do me a solid. Don't put us in. Like, please just don't do it. Don't do it to us. And I'll pay you back down the road. The other worst thing that happened to
Starting point is 00:15:47 Signeady is that the hiring cycle didn't start before the playoffs. He might have been able to get out and get get an LSU job or something before it started now. He's there. Sorry. Indiana. You're in Indiana. You're in Indiana. He's got a lot of money. And we'll be saying for years, do it in the playoffs. I hope you didn't have a short-term rental because you're gonna be needing to find a longer-term place to live there, friend. So that is your lease ability?
Starting point is 00:16:12 I like the idea of Signeady having a short-term lease because he's not sure about his professional job situation. He's staying at one of those hotels that you pay monthly because because it's like you're working, you know, abroad. Anyway. It's like the Hilton Garden Inn or something. Yeah, yeah. But one that's like designed like an A loft
Starting point is 00:16:34 or whatever the hell they're called that's like designed for work. Yeah, like residence in exactly right. Mikey gets it. Mikey, yeah, do you have a winner or loser? That was Billy's loser. Do you have a winner or a loser? I don't. We wasn't sponsored. I didn't do loser? That was Billy's loser. Do you have a winner or a loser? I don't.
Starting point is 00:16:45 We wasn't sponsored. I didn't do it. Yeah, it's fine. Don't worry about that. When you think I'm a fly. Yeah, I mean, you could have literally said any one. Way to set me up. I mean, I have a winner.
Starting point is 00:16:57 I have a winner. All right, just you guys. We'll do your winner, and then Mikey has a little bit of time to think, and we'll get back to him. OK. OK. Here's my winner.
Starting point is 00:17:05 My winner. We had a surprise guest, but the guest left, Tratz. I know who it was, because they only sent the link to one person so far. Boarding a plane? Probably. Yeah. My winner, Michael Pennex Jr.
Starting point is 00:17:17 How about that? I mean, he had the interception, they beat a bad Giants team, but he is the Falcons' quarterback and he ain't going anywhere. How is that? And the Falcons now have a shot with a Buccaneers loss last night to win that division. I love the move by the Falcons.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Penick's had a good day, not a great day, he had a good day. It was a good start to an NFL career. But I love the move. That was a bold move because the Falcons, the upside of Michael Penick's to me, they were pretty stagnant with Kirk Cousins, but the upside to Michael Penick's is a lot greater than playing Kirk Cousins. And so the Falcons to me and Michael Pettix Jr, big winners yesterday. All right, I have a winner.
Starting point is 00:17:54 All right, good. Jonathan Taylor. And it wasn't because he went off in your fantasy playoffs, 200 yards and all that. It was because after last week when he dropped the ball before crossing the goal line this week and I always like when people learn from their mistakes and they and they don't take themselves so seriously. He runs past the
Starting point is 00:18:12 end zone holds the ball with two hands runs into the tunnel comes out his teammates try and take the ball away and he will not let it go until the referees literally have to put it down to kick the field goal. If if we were still in high school or if he was still in high school, this would be one of those things where you see him walking around in the hallway, holding the ball under his arm because he's not allowed to let go of the football. Yeah, exactly. Right. And he's like, no, I'm exactly right.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Yeah. That thing's going nowhere. He's sleeping with that ball. Why we make this the program. I mean, I don't know. He's sleeping with that ball. Mm-hmm. Why we make this appropriate? I mean, it's an old movie. But it's a great movie. It is a great movie. Seat at the table. Yes. Billy, do you, where do you want to go here?
Starting point is 00:18:53 I will leave it up to you because we have, if the season ended today, you are a product of the day. We have a lot of things. I had another game I wanted to play, but oh, oh, I have another game that I want to play. I forgot what it was, but I just remembered. And this is a tricky one, and maybe we can play it if anyone joins.
Starting point is 00:19:10 So this game is a bit of a dangerous game around the holiday time. This game, but it's in the spirit of giving and holiday merry-man and cheer and all that. This game is called, what's your favorite thing that you're going to give someone who's never gonna see this clip? So, you're just telling us like,
Starting point is 00:19:27 this is your favorite gift that you bought someone, that you shouldn't say that you bought someone because they haven't received it yet, but they're never gonna see this clip. So we need Thomas, who's kind of doing this behind the scenes and anyone out there who's access to this, do not put this on social media where they could potentially see it.
Starting point is 00:19:41 This is just us saying, I bought this gift for someone, I think it's really cool, but they're not gonna watch this, so I can tell you about it. This is just us saying, I bought this gift for someone, I think it's really cool, but they're not gonna watch this, so I can tell you about it. But before we get to that, here's my product of the day. Do you guys have any guesses as to what it is? Ooh, someone's in. I'm guessing it's chocolate milk.
Starting point is 00:19:57 All right, now I've got that. I'm guessing it's regular milk. No, it's not chocolate milk, it's not regular milk. It is a Grinch donut from Krispy Kreme. Check this out. Look at that. It looks just like the Grinch, isn't that cool? Yeah, well that's why it's called the Grinch donut. So yeah, that's it. That was the product of the day. That's it. That's a big donut. It has a filling inside of it, which is why it's so fat. It has, I think it's like a cookies and cream type situation.
Starting point is 00:20:26 So that's my first day. Hotcake, I don't like filling in my donuts. You don't like filling in your donuts? Any type of filling? Oh. Nope. All right. I'm sorry. Yes. Did you just ask me my product of the day?
Starting point is 00:20:42 I ended up being a customer. Yes, you did. Just a guess. It's your second day. I didn't ask for it. Why am I gonna bring a product of the day. Kind of being a Christian. Yes, he did. Mr. Gotts. It's your side there. I didn't ask for it. Why am I gonna bring a product of the day? I don't care about your product of the day. Hey, think on your feet.
Starting point is 00:20:54 Way to think on your feet, Stugots. I did, Stugots' personal record book. How about that? The perfect Christmas gift. Go out and buy it right now, wherever books are sold. Go to Amazon.com buy it It will be there by Christmas. Stu got it will not know it will not do not Know but that's my product
Starting point is 00:21:16 Mike yours big guy hold on hold on. Oh you want mine? Let me just get my copy of Stu Gotts his record book that was sent to me. Really? I haven't had one sent to me. You haven't sent to you? Oh, me? I guess it hasn't arrived yet. It'll arrive before Christmas though. Yeah, I'm sure it will. I know what to send you.
Starting point is 00:21:36 Mikey, can I share something with you? So we did an Office White Elephant last week and the gift that Stugats contributed to the Office White Elephant was a wrapped book. Not that one. There is that one that he autographed. I'm just promoting it Billy. I know we're not sending video out but I'm just promoting my book. Well this is going to go out. There was two things that he had wrapped. One was his book that said to my coworker, love Stugatz or something along the lines that he personalized, which was very nice.
Starting point is 00:22:07 Like to my cherished coworker. No, just to my coworker. My coworker, yeah. And the other one was a book about Pete Rose. I believe it was called Charlie Hustle or something like that, that a publisher sent to him that on the inside actually had a, you know,
Starting point is 00:22:26 a message that said, to Stugatz, I hope you enjoy the book, and it was autographed by the author. So those were his contributions to White Elephant this year. Yeah, that was it. It's a big gift though, I mean, everyone wanted it. Charlie Hussle. Thomas tells me via text here that the first surprise guest was in the house but not big
Starting point is 00:22:51 enough. Can we bring Thomas on? Are we allowed to bring Thomas on? That's a Thomas question. I don't know if Thomas wants to come on. I'm wondering who that guest was that Thomas did not allow inside. Well, I mean, not big enough is kind of insulting. I think Mikey, it might be time for you to send out the bat signal on your guest that you wanted and see if the
Starting point is 00:23:10 person joins. I think that person will join with I'm just sending the link, right? That's yeah, just send the link. Well, you can you can say you can you can give a little background as to what we're doing. You can give them a heads up. I've given people a heads up as to what's going on. I sent one out to Taylor. Taylor said he was boarding a plane, he couldn't do it. Then he said, I don't have headphones.
Starting point is 00:23:29 And I said, put it on speakerphone. And he's saying, he's pushing back on that. So Taylor will not be joining us, unfortunately. No. He's headed home for the holidays. Holiday songs. Traveling on the 23rd is kind of crazy. Like, what was he doing?
Starting point is 00:23:42 He was here all weekend. Why didn't he just get out of town, get out of Dodge last Wednesday like most other people in our office did. Would you leave the weather we just had over this past weekend to go up to where Taylor's going up, which is the Northeast? Get out of here, man.
Starting point is 00:23:56 I'm sorry, it was 12 degrees here. What's wrong with that? Yeah. 72 not a cloud in the sky every day, man. It's unbelievable. Dolphins still in the mix? I mean. They are, but they're not.
Starting point is 00:24:09 I have a lot of Dolphins, like fan friends and family members who are like, I think they're gonna do it. I think they're gonna make the playoffs. I'm like, they are not going to make the playoffs. Please stop doing this to yourself. It was a nice win. It's a good win against the 49ers,
Starting point is 00:24:24 a down year for the 49ers, but a good win against the 49ers Terry kill catch the ball. What are you doing friends? Like what is oh? Why you know I'm not getting enough reps in with two or like dude. It's hitting you in the numbers It's bouncing off your hands like catch the ball catch the ball. Yes, you need wrist surgery Let me ask you guys a question. And I'm repositioning for this question. Let me ask you guys a question. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:52 If it's advised to you that you need surgery and you opt out of said surgery, are you then allowed to just use that as an excuse forever? Because in my head, when you said, you know what, I'm not gonna do the surgery, then that excuse is out the window. No more, I needed surgery. You decided not to have surgery and you are costing this team games because of that decision.
Starting point is 00:25:18 You can't throw in our faces, I needed surgery. Anytime something doesn't go wrong or anytime something goes wrong on on a decision you made. Right. If you needed surgery, you could have opted in. You opted out. Go have surgery. Need surgery?
Starting point is 00:25:32 Go have surgery. Don't come out here and be dropping touchdowns left and right and say, oh, I needed surgery. Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down. Because Mikey A, who was a minute removed from saying that to re-kill his wash, is now disagreeing with your take. Go ahead, Mikey. Hey, why do you disagree? It's the ultimate Stu Gott's thing, to build yourself an excuse to then be bad at something.
Starting point is 00:25:53 Right. It's to say, I would have done that, but I care about the team more. Right. Yes, but he's been offered a solution. Like he's offered a solution here where he could have gotten nothing. No, because his solution would have taken him away from the team. Right. Me being here is good enough. So he's gutted it out.
Starting point is 00:26:10 Yeah. Yes. I think he needs surgery. I think he needs surgery, but it's not the surgery he thinks he needs. He thinks he needs a wrist surgery. I think he needs hand replacement surgery because, God, it has been awful the past few weeks. Dropping third downs left and right. Yeah. How about your boy Sanders though? I mean this team is only where they are because of
Starting point is 00:26:32 Jason Sanders. He is the MVP of this team. It's insane. He's the only reliable person on this team unless it's an extra point for some reason which is weird and I had someone I had someone reach out to me and make this suggestion and I wanna run a pass to you guys because he has been lights out on field goal attempts. The extra points are dicey for some reason. So this person was telling me and suggested, and I'm gonna run a pass to you,
Starting point is 00:26:57 just take a bunch of penalties, like a bunch of false starts or whatever, and just keep moving that ball back until it's right in his sweet spot. And the extra point becomes like a 50 yarder and then we're good. I like it 52 yard extra points or make the easy ones either way. Well, but I mean those are easy for him. That's what Billy said That's the thing. Those are the ones. Yes. Yes. He struggles with 25 yards
Starting point is 00:27:20 So so you're saying to re-q Hill needs hand replacement surgery. Hand replacement surgery, new hands. Whose hands would you take and put on Tariq Hill's body? Because there was a movie, old school movie called Body Part, where they took someone's, I believe it was their arm, I don't know, and they attached it on to someone who needed an arm, and that person took the other person's
Starting point is 00:27:45 personality, so like Chris Carter for me would be the perfect hands for to recal. That guy admits dude, you know, but then he turns into Chris Carter. You get what I'm saying? He's like, no, no, no They're still the same person just with another person's hands. Right, that's what they thought body parts, Billy. And I'm telling you, the guy turned into a murderer. I mean, it's crazy. Well, no, no. Current player?
Starting point is 00:28:13 That's the question. Current player, former player, or just anyone in the world? I got the answer. Yeah. Adam Thielen. Wow. OK. Give Tyree Kill, Adam Thielen. And Adam Thielen doesn't need him anymore
Starting point is 00:28:26 because he's in Carolina. Okay. Just wasting away. So I googled best hands in the first picture. This is the- What is on the poll? Does Adam Thielen need his hands anymore? This is the research that I- well hold on. Does Adam Thielen get Tyree Kill's hands? Yeah. Okay good. So hand swap. It's like a face-off situation. Well, I just did it. I didn't want Adam Thielen walking around holiday time without hands. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, good. So hand swap. It's like a face off situation. Well, I just did it. I didn't want Adam Thiel in walking around holiday time without hands. So I'm just glad he gets some hands.
Starting point is 00:28:49 No, you wouldn't do that to him. Okay. So how about Larry Fitzgerald? Too old. I take his ass. Okay, well, I mean, this is the hand replacement game. Well, I'm talking about ass replacement now. No, we're not.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Okay. Come on, it's Christmas. They have surgery for that. What about just like- I have Dillon's number. You want me to reach out or? Send him the link. Send him the link. Send Adam Dillon the link.

Can I tell you something? I'm sorry. Oh, you know what? I played golf with him in Tahoe, Billy. Like, you know what I did. OK?
Starting point is 00:29:27 Can I tell you something? I'm going to send them the link. This Tahoe trip really doesn't do anything for us. Because you make all these contacts, but you refuse to text any of them, Big Dog, you know, hop on, Big Dog, or whatever. Right. I'll do better.

And like, there's a chance that they think that they forgot that they have something to do, and then they just hop on the link, you know what I mean? Yes. I mean, it's- Thielen's gonna know if I just send him a link, he's gonna be like, did we agree to do and then they just hop on the link you know what I mean yes I mean it's gonna know if I just send them a link he's gonna be like did we agree

No, just be like, oh no. I sent it to the wrong Adam. This is for video roulette, like, and then they'll know. Oh, video roulette, yeah, of course. That's what we're doing.
Starting point is 00:30:51 I meant to send it to Adam Shine. Yeah. Okay, let me. Shine and Thiel and probably right next to each other. All right, but you gotta say, hey, big dog, here's the link for 9.15. Hit him with a big dog. Oh, it could be Schefter, Schefter. I'll hit him with a big dog. Not Schefter, no. No, no, I'm not asking. It could be. I could say, oh, I'm not sure.

And I was like, well, I'm waiting for my hit
Starting point is 00:33:54 with Golik in like 15 minutes. So this is perfect timing. You are, if I may say, in an oddly shaped room. Yeah, Billy, you're 100% right. It looks like a... Too many walls. Yeah, there's like... It looks like they're closing in.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Is it five-sided? How many walls? I can see all four walls of that room. There's a hexagon. Six walls. Okay. This has been, this is the room that I grew up in and this was my struggle my entire life.
Starting point is 00:34:21 Where do I put my bed? I don't understand. You grew up in a hexagon? I mean... There's bed space everywhere. It's so confusing. But recently repainted, because when I was a child, this room was hot pink and bright yellow.
Starting point is 00:34:36 All six walls. All three. Did you have posters on your wall growing up? Yes. Are you kidding? Of course. Who wrote on the posters? Joe Theismann. Brady Quinn. Um I mean name name your Notre Dame football player from 2005 to 2010. Uh Tom Zbikowski. No
Starting point is 00:34:56 Jimmy Claussen. Um I had a bunch. I had like a I had so many posters. Billy. There a bunch of soccer players. I was really into soccer. Yeah, same. Look at me wearing my Christmas soccer sweater. Ooh. You're not in the soccer. Troy Palamalu, I had newspaper clippings
Starting point is 00:35:13 from the Steelers Super Bowl from the Pittsburgh Post Gazette from 2006, or 2005, the Seahawks won, all over my bedroom wall. So yeah. College football's dead, right? Yep, over. It is never been more popular than it is right now. Like this weekend is just evidence that college football, like the amount of hot takes coming after these games that were like mostly duds, everyone
Starting point is 00:35:36 wants to talk about it. It has never been more alive than it is now. Are you going to the next one? Are you traveling with with Notre Dame? I'm traveling with Lehman. We're going to New Orleans for New Year's Eve. Oh. Wow, very nice. Well, hold on, Jess. Put us, because you went to the game with your family, right? You were at the game at Notre Dame?
Starting point is 00:35:52 Yeah. How'd that go with your dad? Because you guys, you know, you've told us stories about you and your dad yelling at each other, even while winning. So what happened? Actually, like, Notre Dame kicked so much ass that there was not a single moment while I was
Starting point is 00:36:06 sitting in that stadium that I was like, don't get me wrong, when Indiana recovered the onside kick, I was like, is this Indiana kicker the best onside kick kicker in all of college football? That was a beautiful onside kick. And then he almost nailed the second one. I was like, okay, what's going on here? Al Golden, put the defense back out on the field. Notre Dame kind of just let them score those two garbage time touchdowns. There was like a minute left, but I wasn't really concerned. There was never really a
Starting point is 00:36:34 point in the game where I was concerned. Even after the first Riley Leonard, the only Riley Leonard interception, the tip pass, I was like, that was kind of a lucky play. There was an Indiana guy right there that caught it. And then the next play Xavier Watts picks it off and then Jeremiah loves hits the 98 yard, uh, touchdown. So I mean, like from the 11 minute mark in the first quarter to the end of the game, I was like, this is great. We're winning. Everyone's so happy. Everyone was such a good mood. My parents were happy. I wasn't even cold. I was so happy.
Starting point is 00:37:06 I wasn't cold. Wow. Okay. Billy thinks Cignetti would have been better off not taking the playoff berth at all. Just saying, no thanks. I'm good. I made my case.
Starting point is 00:37:17 What do you think? I think I've never seen a coach's reputation get tanked so quickly than his did in that game. Like he went from like the college football darling, he won so many coach of the year awards. He was finalist for about AP coach of the year. And then he punts on fourth and 11 in the fourth quarter down three possessions in a playoff game with 10 minutes left. He punts. And then after the game, he's like, well, my offense wasn't doing anything. And I'm like, so you put your defense back out on the field? Like that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
Starting point is 00:37:45 Uh, but yeah, I mean, he, he kind of coached us scared conservative game. They fair caught every single kickoff. They didn't do anything that we haven't seen this season. And it was just a really conservative game plan against a team that everyone knew was a lot better than Indiana. And if you want to win a game like that in college football, sometimes you roll the dice a little bit, see if you can get lucky. And until the last minute and a half of the game
Starting point is 00:38:08 when they actually tried to go for an outside kick, it just felt like they had given up. You feel validated, Billy? I said he was my loser of the weekend. Oh, 100%. I mean, you guys heard him go on game day and talk about like, we don't just beat top 25 teams, we beat the out of them.
Starting point is 00:38:24 Like, what are you talking about? Name talk about like, we don't just beat top 25 teams, we beat the out of them. Like, what are you talking about? Name one. No you don't. I also, I don't know what happened in the post game handshake between him and Marcus Freeman, but he looked like he kept talking and Marcus Freeman had already moved on to his interview with Molly McGrath.
Starting point is 00:38:39 He was like, okay, buddy. I don't know, that was just like- He's smart. He should have done the Mac Brown and like clutched Marcus's neck and pulled him in. Cause yeah, it just was kind of a weird handshake. What did you think of the awkward post game press conference where Marcus Froome was invited
Starting point is 00:38:58 to the next round? I love it. I accept, we accept. He was like, can I say we accept? Yeah, so like this was all of the first round games, the reps from the New York six bowl games that are hosting the quarter finals presented a game ball and like formally invited the head coach
Starting point is 00:39:14 to their bowl games. This is such a vestige of like old college football and everyone is ripping college football for having this sort of like ridiculous, like this is not necessary. This formality is not necessary, but I love it. I love the bowl games. I love the guys in suits that go to games all season long and scout out who they want to invite to the bowl games. I love that there was randomly a guy there who's like, do you want to come to the sugar bowl?
Starting point is 00:39:37 Marcus was like, yeah. Um, I also, I saw like a couple of jokes about people that were like, Oregon should decline their invitation to the Rose Bowl and just claim the national championship. And I totally agree with that. Like if this were 2005 or two, I don't know, like 15 years ago, they could have just been like, well, we went undefeated. We won the big 10. We're in the Rose Bowl. We won the national championship. Thanks. We're all done here. Just claim it. Who cares? What if, okay, what if they decline their invitation to the Rose Bowl
Starting point is 00:40:08 and then the other bowls are like, well hold on a second, Sugar Bowl, we want him now. We want Oregon, and then they all start scrambling to grab the team that they actually want. That would be awesome. Yeah. That also, I don't know what I'm talking about. UCF claimed a national title like, what, seven years ago?
Starting point is 00:40:22 Like this is full of things. People need to claim more national championships Kurt Signetti should have just claimed one last week and not played in the ball game he should have opted out because i'm with you Billy that was also with the fact that like a lot of the uh players on their team are transfers and they're not going to be around next year and like the schedule is going to get harder like huge huge L for Kurt Signetti and like look it brings me no joy to say this he's a yininser, he's got Yinsers on his staff. Tinos and Sari is their offensive coordinator, okay?
Starting point is 00:40:49 This is like, we're multiple Yinsers deep on the scout here for Indiana. But man, it was brutal. We're ready to go back to four teams, Jess. Yeah, I mean, I think like the biggest issue right now is why are the four highest ranked conference champions, the four buy teams, maybe things would have been bigger if you just ranked it outright, the top four teams get a buy. They're going to expand it to 14 in 2016 and then do two
Starting point is 00:41:17 highs. More? Oh, yes. But I don't know. I mean, I think the, you know, for as much, you know, bad football as there was this weekend, for lack of a better term, like the four home sites brought it. I thought like even, you know, even like the first two minutes of the Penn State game, when it was like, Oh, this is fun. Like it was cool to see college football postseason games on campus. And I hope that that's the bigger takeaway this weekend. Like sure.
Starting point is 00:41:42 The matchups could have been better. Uh, Texas Clemson actually was like almost a pretty good game, but the home sites I thought was pretty awesome. And that was all along, I think what sold it for a lot of people when they expanded it to 12. No, that part of it was cool, but it was a colossal loss for the committee, college football, the expanded playoff.
Starting point is 00:42:01 They needed one game to be close. They needed an upset. They got nothing. None of these teams. The games are like the games in general aren't close. Like college football games tend to have big golfs between the winner and the loser. But when you're only playing four on a weekend, yeah. When you're only playing four on a weekend, like this is a point that I've heard a lot of people make this weekend.
Starting point is 00:42:21 Like it's a little bit of selection bias. Like, yeah, these four were, were huge blowouts. A lot of the games on your, like it's a little bit of selection bias. Like, yeah, these four were, were huge blowouts. A lot of the games on your average Saturday are huge blowouts, but you flip to the close game and watch it. And then you're like, well, what a crazy day this was. But, um, yeah, I, I think that like, I think that it's kind of a example of the committee getting it right. Cause the higher seeds all won.
Starting point is 00:42:43 And in a tournament, like the higher seed should get rewarded, A, with the home team and the easier matchup. And I think that kind of was how it worked out, right? Like none of these teams needed to play a close game for you to know that they were the better four teams in the bracket. So that part I think did kind of work out. The major problem for me is at least for a week, James Franklin is the guy that can now win the big game.
Starting point is 00:43:06 Like get the hell out of here, Jess. I mean, that side of the bracket is looking pretty good if you're James Franklin. Cause if you can beat Boise State. They are good, yeah, they are good. They didn't have to do a lot to beat SMU cause SMU beat themselves like very early on in the game. But if you beat Boise State in the fiesta ball,
Starting point is 00:43:32 you're going to end up playing against Notre Dame or Georgia, Georgia without its quarterback. Obviously, Carson Beck's not playing. That is a really, really fierce Georgia team. But if you figure they can win, maybe maybe you get one game with the backup quarterback like I feel like the odds have got to be low that they can win two in a row. maybe you get one game with the backup quarterback. Like I feel like the odds have gotta be low that they can win two in a row. So that's a nice little bracket set up for Penn State. They might be playing in the Orange Bowl
Starting point is 00:43:52 in a couple of weeks. Billy and Mikey Yang, just, you know, Mikey Yang, you know Goalick very well. You know Goalick Jr. Billy, you've gotten to know them. Notre Dame fans, they tend to get very confident and very cocky. They play Georgia next week. If I ask Jess, do you think Notre Dame's they tend to get very confident and very cocky they play Georgia next week if I asked Jess do you think Notre Dame is gonna
Starting point is 00:44:07 win the national championship I'm asking you first Mikey what do you think her response would be? Of course I mean I don't think her mouth can form the words no they're not. Billy you agree? Hold on a second I have a question Jess you said you're gonna do a Golick and Go to do a Gojo and Golick hit. What is the best thing you're going to tell them and tell us first? That's a way harder question, Billy. Let me think about that. Mikey A, you don't know how self-loathing I am. You you're so wrong. Did I, people, I went on so many podcasts last week where they're like,
Starting point is 00:44:50 is Notre Dame going to beat Indiana? Like they're favored by eight points. They should beat them. And I'm like, I can't say, I don't, I, I don't want to say yes. Like it, there's a generational divide among the Mike Golick's of the world who is the same age as my dad and the Jessica's botanist and the Mike Golick juniors of the world who grew up in the twos when the Notre Dame football program was in a terrible spot. The administration made some bad hires, the culture was terrible, the football was bad and so we are all very hurt people. We don't believe in nice things and yes like I should believe that this team can win a national championship on I mean they are spectacular. They have amazing players.
Starting point is 00:45:28 Xavier Watts is one of the best players in college football. Jeremiah love that 98 yard touchdown run. He's unbelievable. He's gonna be an early Heisman favorite next year. Um, they're a really good football team. I think Marcus Freeman has done an incredible job this season, but I am so so deeply hurt by the 2005 team the 2017 team the 2016 team all these times where you're like man this this is gonna be great and then something terrible happened So no, I I don't take winning for granted as a Notre Dame football fan Which is the opposite of what anyone in their 60s will tell you because my dad's been to national championship games
Starting point is 00:46:03 He's been to you know, he was at the Miami game in 1988. He's seen Notre Dame win these games and win them again and win them again. And I just can't relate to that. So I'm happy for him. And they're the greedy ones. They're like, yeah, we're going to win it all. And me and Gojo are like, please Lord, just let us, let us do something that's not embarrassing. We'll let you go here because we know you got a wrong bot. So you're telling me that dad is expecting Notre Dame to beat Georgia by 28 points. Every single Notre Dame grad over the age of like 45 probably or maybe 50 is yeah, they're like, oh, like, this is gonna be easy. I'm just excited for New Year's Eve in New Orleans. I've had this circled on my calendar for a few weeks now. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:46:44 Lehman, if Notre Dame wins against Indiana, which we're not allowed to talk about because we don't want to jinx it. This is what we're doing for New Year's Eve. And then sure enough, game ended. I tailgated in the parking lot for like an hour. It was like one o'clock in the morning, Friday night or Saturday morning. And I was like, Lehman New Year's Eve in New Orleans. And he was like, Chuck, your Delta app. And he booked us flights. And I was like, that's a good man right there. It's only tickets now, but that's. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:47:13 Yeah. Oh, you have plenty. Game time, game time. You listening to time you out there? Anyone game time on the Notre Dame side. Listen, when you go on to go look and go, Joe, ask them for tickets. I'm certain. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:47:24 Right. That's okay. That's the best thing I'll say, when you go on to Golick and Gojo, ask them for tickets. I'm certain. Yeah, exactly. OK, that's the best thing I'll say. You'll probably have to stand in the parking lot, do a pregame power up hit or something. But after that, you're good. I'm fine with that. I had to sit on the Clemson side for the Cotton Bowl a few years ago. That was brutal. It was a brutal game.
Starting point is 00:47:41 I don't want to do that. Well, thank you for joining us from your hexagon. It's the oddest room I've ever seen. Thank you for saying that. Thank you, Smetty. Good luck to Notre Dame. Have fun New Year's Eve in New Orleans. And that sounds like a great time.
Starting point is 00:47:56 Happy holidays to you and your family. Yeah, you too. Bye, guys. Thank you, Notre Dame. Jesus. Good day, Notre Dame. So one a good stand-owner, dude. So one person on video roulette, was it a success? Yes.
Starting point is 00:48:10 Yes. She's bigger than a C-list, Billy. I'm sorry. She's going to be offended by that. No, I didn't. Thomas invited her. So listen, Thomas is the one that deemed her C-list, not me. All right.
Starting point is 00:48:23 Do we want to do with the season ended today? I know we have Billy's Big Board Betts. There's a Monday night game coming up. I think we discussed college enough. It's terrible. It's a joke. It's absolutely ridiculous. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Starting point is 00:48:34 And I am with Billy. We should go back to four teams and computers, by the way. And computers. Okay. Yeah, PCS. I had it right. Okay. This is ludicrous. so what are we doing?
Starting point is 00:48:49 It's like watching the NCAA Tournament watching March Madness. I mean you get an occasional upset for the most part. It's Kansas beating Illinois State by 50 points. It was a joke over the weekend. I'd say who's watching these games. You want to know how I know that video roulette was not going to take off the way that I thought I was hoping that it would?
Starting point is 00:49:11 And it's just because of the time of the day. It's because there was no heads up. And it's because of the time of the year, too, that we're a couple of days away from the holidays. You know how I knew it wasn't going to take off, Stugats? Because the people that just no answered us were people that 100% would always join these situations. 100%.
Starting point is 00:49:30 You want to know some of the names that just no answered us? So these are the people that would normally join us but did not answer us today. These people got actual links sent to them and just never materialized. Okay. Mikey C got an invite, never answered, never materialized. Okay. Mikey C got an invite never answered, never materialized. Wow. But I mean, he's probably seeking approval. He needs permission to come on. But here's here's the win win of the situation. Right behind the scenes. Mikey C has been just hounding us for months and months and months to join and never has. But now the invite was set up or sent out.
Starting point is 00:50:03 And now we can just throw it back in his face like buddy we said what do you want me to do that was it but he did not join. Mikey A is familiar with it with this creature's work Billy he will somehow spin it and turn it around on us. No he like no no no no no well there was there's a bit of sabotage that was in the works in which Mikey C won Mikey A or Mikey all right I'm getting confused with the Mikeys which Mikey C won Mikey A or Mikey, all right I'm getting confused with the Mikeys. Mikey A when Mikey C joined was going to tell Mikey C that the reason he hasn't been on is because of me because I've been blocking him from joining which is going to really make my life miserable for years to come but he didn't join so what are you gonna do? Lorenzo was sent an invite
Starting point is 00:50:40 he did not join today. I was gonna make it like me and you ask weekly to have Mikey C on. Do you remember the episode where I had Mikey A and Mikey A? Do you remember this? Mikey C was on, you were on, I had Mikey T on. It was Mikey T, Mikey C, Mikey A. Yes. Anyway, it was very confusing. We called it Mikey B.
Starting point is 00:50:58 Yeah. Lorenzo, happy holidays. I believe you. Mikey A had a big invite that was sent out. Shockingly, no response. Shockingly. Who did you send it to? I'm so happy holidays. Mikey, Mikey had a big invite that was sent out shockingly. No response. Who did you who did you send it to? Well, if we
Starting point is 00:51:10 were going to have Mikey C on the the matchup, we've all been dying to see Mikey C and K Funk. I sent it to K Funk. Yeah. No answer. No, no chance. Okay. Okay. All right. You want uh you want my big board bets really quickly and then we can kind of
Starting point is 00:51:24 head out of here because my wife's going gonna kill me because this is supposed to. I told her it has a 20 minutes starting at 8 o'clock and it's almost 10 now. Adam Fiel and I didn't get back to me by the way. Big dog huh? Unfortunate. Alright my first one today. Three wins I mean. Josh Jacobs over 90 and a half rushing yards. Alright Josh Jacobs tonight.
Starting point is 00:51:45 Yeah. The reason is because the Saints have a bad rush defense and it is supposed to snow. So we'll see what happens. I'm not confident about this at all. It's Saints and Packers tonight. The Packers might be the best team in the NFL. That division is loaded between the Packers and the Vikings and of course the Lions.
Starting point is 00:52:06 That's a ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous division. Alright, my next one. MVS over two and a half receiving yards. Listen, it's either going to be zero or a hundred, okay? Receiving yards or receptions? Sorry, receptions. Receptions, thank you Mike. Receiving yards would have been quite the gift I was giving myself.
Starting point is 00:52:25 I was going to say two and a half receiving yards. Yeah. So you're going MBS over two and a half. Yeah, over two and a half receptions. We'll see what happens. Okay, we'll see what happens. Yes we will. That's all we can do Billy.
Starting point is 00:52:36 You'll see what happens. After a two and five week last week, I'm not feeling confident about anything. And here is one that is really, really out there. But I want to have fun with my friends today. So I'm going to go Spencer Rattler over point five touchdowns. He just needs to throw one. All right. All right. It's going to be a snowy day. I don't know how much he's going to be throwing. Hopefully he's throwing to MVS when he is throwing. Uh, but also Ivan Kamara does not appear to be in the picture. He's not playing tonight. Yeah so they're gonna have to have an offense come from somewhere so I'm hoping that it's a via the air and to
Starting point is 00:53:13 MVS if possible. Alright anything else you guys want to get to? Well the season ended today we haven't gotten to yet. Let's do it real quickly then we'll get out of here. Mikey do you have if the season ended today for us? I sure do. And do you have a gift that you got someone that you really like that you can tell us about because they're never gonna see this? No, that's fine, okay, nevermind. I didn't send anyone gifts.
Starting point is 00:53:36 Really? Yeah, we know. Oh, yours is coming. Billy and I are well aware. All right, well. I'm gonna give you options on gifts. You want options, I'll give you options. You want some options?
Starting point is 00:53:47 What does that even mean, you're gonna give options? You can have the gift that I was gonna give you or I'll send you the book. Now, the thing is that that's implying that there was a gift. I was just gonna say, either way, I think I'm winding up with nothing. One plus one equals nothing. Alright. If the season ended
Starting point is 00:54:08 today, if the season ended today, the Buffalo Bills would be playing host to the Denver Broncos. Wow. So, Billy, I do believe the Broncos are gonna lose their final two games here. I don't know if that means they're not gonna make the playoffs but those games are. It's possible. Yeah, it's possible that they'll lose those two games. So maybe the Dolphins can sneak in. Maybe the Bengals could sneak in. Maybe the Colts could still sneak. Oh, I want the Bengals in so bad. I want the Bengals in
Starting point is 00:54:36 so bad. I know. Yeah. So the Bills play here. The Broncos right now. If the season ended today. The Bills blow up. If the season ended today. That's a blow up. Yeah. Well, if the season ended today, the bill would blow up. If the season ended today. That's a blow up. Yeah. Well, if the season ended today, the Pittsburgh Steelers would be playing host to the Los Angeles Chargers. They played already, right?
Starting point is 00:54:57 They did, yeah, regular season. Steelers won that game. How do you guys feel about the Christmas Day games? It's funny you should mention that, Billy, because if the season ended today, the Houston Texans would be playing host to the Baltimore Ravens. Hmm. Which is actually a Christmas Day game. The Ravens would win that game I feel like. There's something wrong in Houston this year just I mean I know they have enough wins to like win that division but that
Starting point is 00:55:24 that doesn't really matter. Like there's something there's something off in Houston this year, right? I agree with that. I'm looking up to see if the Steelers played the Chargers this year. I thought they did. Well, while you look that up, let's go to the season ended today in the NFC. Wait, Mikey, you think the Ravens will win that game, right? Ravens over the touch. I think the Ravens win that game. Although, although the Ravens will win that game right Ravens over the time I think the Ravens win that game although although the Ravens always lose that game Ravens always lose that game in the playoffs the one that you're like oh Ravens will win that game no no they don't know the Raven game that they
Starting point is 00:55:54 lose I could see them beating Houston it's the home game that they lose I feel like maybe be on the road will be a good thing for Baltimore this year. All right. So season ended today. What do you have? You have the season ended today. Remember that great game we saw yesterday between the Eagles and commanders. Let's do it again. This time in Philadelphia. Wow. Wow. Yeah. But if the season ends today, Jalen hurts will be out with a concussion, huh? Yeah. But you seem excited about that. That's an odd. Well, it gives Washington a chance to pull off the hub set.
Starting point is 00:56:27 That's all I mean. Kenny Pickett superstar. Thankfully for the Eagles, the season doesn't end today, Billy. That's all I was saying. It's looking bad. Kenny Pickett was Kenny Pickett's up two touchdowns on you. It's not looking great, but commanders figured it out. Guys, have we arrived at the uh, the Chiefs need a loss? They've needed one.
Starting point is 00:56:46 They've needed a loss for a while now. They've been, yeah. They're well due for a loss. And they're playing with fire, not getting it. I don't know what they're doing. So they don't really need to win these games. They have the 1C pretty much sewed up here. So like tanking a game and actually losing a game are two different things, you know?
Starting point is 00:57:04 They're not gonna lose on Christmas. I shouldn't different things you know they're not going to lose on Christmas I shouldn't say that but they're not going to they're not going to tank on Christmas no you're right but they need to lose that is what we're saying that's the last chance they have to lose I mean if I look look if if I was Travis Kelsey or if I was Patrick Mahomes or I mean if I was even I really I think it comes was even really I think it comes down to Taylor I think Taylor needs to call Andy and be like Andy why
Starting point is 00:57:31 do we need to go to Pittsburgh for Christmas we don't want that I'm sure it's lovely there at this time of year we don't want that let's not do that and then sure enough boom that's it there's their loss and they don't even travel to Pittsburgh I mean some people travel, but Deandre Hopkins will be playing that game. But. And then you get Pittsburgh, that false hope in the event that they have to travel to Kansas City
Starting point is 00:57:53 in the playoffs and play that team, right? Oh yeah, maybe we can beat this team. Yeah. All right. If the segment ends now, what are we doing? Well, if the season ended today, the Rams would be hosting the Packers. A couple of Le Fleurs cutting it up. Wow.
Starting point is 00:58:11 I take the Rams in that game. They're hot. By the way, we'll finish on this though. All the people. Last one. Do you have more if the season ended today? Do we have to get to all of them? There's one more game if you wanted to get to all of them. All right, we'll get to all of them.
Starting point is 00:58:27 Then I'll say what I have to say. Falcons boasting the Vikings. I have the Falcons winning the Super Bowl. God bless football. I didn't say the thing I was going to say. Say the thing. No. I was going to say. Say the thing. No. I'll tease it for Friday. Friday? We're not doing this again? We're doing this again?
Starting point is 00:58:50 I was just going to say, all the people who didn't want the NFL over the weekend because it got in the way of the college football playoffs, go bleep yourself, except for you Lucy because I love you. You are lucky that the NFL existed the last weekend because the college football playoff was a dumpster fire, a complete failure. And thank you to the NFL for bailing us out. That's all.
