Episode Date: January 6, 2025

Stugotz, Billy and Mikey A play "if the season ended today" because it did. Billy is frustrated with the Dolphins and Giants sending out a note to their fans telling them they are going to stay on the same bad path they are on and keep their head coach and GM. The Jaguars fired "Doug Marrone" and the Patriots have perfected tampering. Plus, "Winners and Losers" and would the Lions pass on the BYE week? Learn more about your ad choices.

regular season. It is over, Billy. We've made it to super wild card weekend. How about that? Yeah. If the season ended today. Ooh. Wow. Are we going to do that today? We should. Of course we should. I'm excited. Yep. You have your dolphin helmet hat on Billy? I do.

Yep. Yeah. Yep. How do you feel about the dolphins? Uh, not great. Not great. And even worse by the fact that, uh, right after the game, Steven Ross is like, you know what? We're good.

Everything's staying the exact same. Yeah, everything's staying the exact same everything's staying the exact same next year don't worry we'll figure it out Chris Greer you know what you read maybe he's gonna retire step out nope he's gonna be back Mike McDaniel he's gonna be back you know that too is not gonna be going anywhere and the only person that said I'm not coming back is Tyree Kill and that's not really I don't I don't I don't know how it works that's not really Tyree Kill's decision but he's decided you know know what, I'm done here,

thank you, I'm gonna move on to somewhere else. It's like, buddy, you have a contract. I mean, apparently Tariq thinks it is his decision. He said goodbye. Yeah, yeah. This is one, because Tyree has had situations where he tweets something and it's like, what is he just tweeting that he doesn't wanna play anymore?

He wants to be a coach? He's like, no, no, what he meant was. And then it's like, hey, happy new year to the Chiefs. And it's like, no, no, no, what is he just tweeting that he doesn't want to play anymore? He wants to be a coach? He's like, no, no, what he meant was. And then it's like, hey, happy new year to the Chiefs. And it's like, no, no, no, what he meant was he wants the Chiefs to win so that the Dolphins get in. And he's had a lot of these moments where he will tweet things, where he's like, no, no, no, what Tyreke really means is. And it's like, no, no, but this was him directly saying, yeah, I'm ready to move on.

And they're like, no, no, but what he meant was like, no, guys, it's pretty clear. Tyreek Hill wants to go somewhere else at this point. If you listen to the clip, it sounds like he decides he wants to leave mid-sentence. Yes. Like he's trying to talk like, yeah, I don't know what I'm gonna,

you know what, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go. That's what I'm gonna do. Yeah. A statement, releasing a statement to say everything's gonna stay intact, feels like a bit much. Does it not? I mean.

I. Not even gonna evaluate. Right. They did the evaluation. Status quo. We've evaluated, you know what? We were right. We were right about it all.

So like you're now headed into next season and it sounds bad as a Dolphins fan. I don't know why we're talking about the Dolphins after you know this week and we're headed into the playoffs But I guess this is gonna be our last time to talk about the Dolphins for a while You I don't have a lot to look forward to next season right now Just because you're kind of going into it with the exact same people making the exact same decisions and the exact same pieces at the moment and obviously you can like look into like the salary cap and I haven't done that. So I don't know how much wiggle room they have there. But even if they have

a lot of wiggle room, I don't trust the people making the decisions to make the right decisions. So it's not it's not great right now. You're not exactly thinking, oh, you know what? One game out of the playoffs, we're ending on a high. Because you can even say, oh, well, you know, there was a two-a situation with the concussions, and then he had the situation where he was injured at the last season where he may have had a partial muscle tear, and it'll be fine.

But there are still question marks about his health, and is he durable enough to go through an entire season? Because he did last year, but last year was like the first time that he did it since like high school or something. Yes, right. And like, I don't know, not gonna be a conspiracy guy, but lots of conspiracies going around about why he was wearing sunglasses at night yesterday.

Really? Yeah, people were asking why. This is a night game. Is something else going on here? Maybe, again, not to be a conspiracy guy guy but it was a chatter on the the internet. So, maybe was there another concussion situation we're just not aware about and he has now more sensitivity to light. Is that why he's wearing that? The reason I find the Dolphins

interesting and you're right. There's a number of places we could have started anywhere else but a year ago, this was the offense that everyone in the NFL was praising. Everyone wanted to come play for Mike McDaniel. Everyone wanted to play in this offense. And now you have the team's best player saying, no, I want out of here. That changed quickly. And to me, that's interesting. Well, I mean, look, Tyree Kill obviously has, has, it's been stated that he needs to have wrist surgery and he's been dealing with injuries. He had a knee quote unquote procedure in the off season no one knew about until the traffic stopped.

But he was not himself this year. Like part of the reason the dolphin season didn't work out was not just Tua, was Tyreek, was not Tyreek Hill this year. Correct. Remember when they scored 70 points against the Broncos? Oh, it was amazing. Week three, what a time. What a time to be alive.

What a time. Yes, I have a lot of winners from the weekend. I was in a baby shower that day and I was watching on my phone. I couldn't stop. My wife was getting mad at me. I'll never forget where it was. She was like, can you please stop watching the Dolphins?

I'm like, but they have 63 points. And she's like, okay, as soon as they stop scoring, I'll stop watching. I'm like, they might get 70 points. You know what's lost in that game? Mike White bombed to Robbie Anderson. Oh yeah. Chosen Anderson.

I was longing for Mike White. You'll never forget where you were when you missed the 70 point performance by the Dolphins. When I saw it put out by the Bills that they extended Mike White through next season, like he got a contract extension. I was like, oh man, we could have used Mike White this year. Yeah, I was hurt when I saw Jimmy Garoppolo

putting up numbers against, I don't even know who the 49ers are playing. Then I was like, it could have been us. I don't wanna be like insulting to the quarterbacks that I'm thinking, but like when I saw, I was looking around at the NFL landscape, looking at all the bad quarterbacks. I was like, what yesterday?

I'd take that quarter. This is this last two weeks. I'm like, oh man, I'd take that quarterback to start these meaningful games in a second. Well, week 18 is where you find out where all the bad quarterbacks are playing. I mean,

You also find out. So true. That's what it's all about. Marcus Mariona, really? You find out also, Carson Wentz. Hmm. Not a guy. Oh, he's a, listen, we have winners and losers to get to. Mariona. Really? You find out Wow man that was loud that was loud coming off a holiday yeah check the level I didn't even hear it we have a situation in the studio no one needs to

know this but I'll let you guys in because we're all friends we have a mystery cable mystery cables just plugged in this to got this headphone jack we have no idea where that cable goes it goes underneath the table and it disappears into the ground no one knows what it's for no one wants to unplug it there was a there was a hardware update while we were gone and I truly believe the table and it disappears into the ground. No one knows what it's for. No one wants to unplug it. There was a hardware update while we were gone and I truly believe, and again, I don't wanna be a conspiracy guy,

I truly believe Robert or someone on the hardware side just plugged the cable into a jack that they know that someone would notice and now they're like, you know what, if anything was kind of like on shaky grounds, we can't make any changes because no one knows what that mystery cable

is for. So, we can't make, we can't, can't get rid of anyone that knows what the mystery cable is for. I mean, Fuentes is supposed to know what the mystery cable is. I asked him to come in here because I can't hear you as well as I normally

do. Yeah. Uh and Fuentes had no idea. He asked Danny B, what's the mystery cable? I gotta tell you when you're asking Danny B. What the mystery cable is and he doesn't know big trouble Yeah, big trouble. You guys somebody knows one person someone someone plug Robert Someone plug that in and so you guys for those of you who don't know cuz why would you know? Danny B is a guy that would just walk around with a bag of cables You know what I mean? Yeah, if there's anyone that has a bag of cables or a drawer full of cables, it's my wife.

And it's because she doesn't know what any of the cables are for, and she just throws them all in one drawer. And it's Danny B., but he knows what the cables are for. Yes. The cable guy. He knows the name of all those cables. Not like, hey, do you have the one that does this? No, he's like, oh, you mean a USB 3S?

YZ? Right. Yeah, I got one of those. Easy peasy. Yeah, but this one stumped him. I gotta be honest. He has no idea. We have found the gable that has stumped Danny B.

Winners this week and winners and losers presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka please drink responsibly. The person who knows what that cable's for, big winner. Biggest winner in this company right now. Robert. Yeah, also loser are plovving because apparently a bite burst. And we got an email saying it smelled

like poo poo here so now there's all these machines and I think they're dehumidifiers, we can't breathe. There's no humidity. There's a. It's so dry in here. Welcome back. Oh my gosh. They're HEPA filters.

But it's a dry heat. It's a dry heat. We're in the desert right now. It's crazy, like I'm struggling to breathe. I feel like the elevation here. You're back in Arizona. It's weird, yeah. But it was cool in Arizona, it's crazy, like I'm struggling to breathe. I feel like the elevation here. You're back in Arizona. It's weird, yeah. But it was cool in Arizona, it's warm in here.

Also a winner, the Tennessee Titans. Not cool enough to pick because the Patriots decided to win that game, I guess, to try to keep Gerard Mayo's job and it didn't work. He was a winner yesterday on the field and a loser off the field because he was the first one to be let go. I would say that win got him fired. It did. Yes, it did.

And I was listening to Dominique Foxworth driving in here and uh yeah, here's a theory. Maybe a little bit of uh gamesmanship from the Bills. Mm hmm. Letting the Patriots win so that their uh their draft pick would go. Yes. Drop from one to four. Yeah. Yeah. No Travis Hunter. Yeah. I have a winner from that same game.

Okay. And he's on the Patriots. Yeah. Joe Milton. Ah, Joe Milton. We found out where he was yesterday. Big winner. Yeah.

I mean, a quarterback controversy is brewing in New England. How about that? Listen, my guy was throwing darts. All right. He was slinging it. Slinging it. Slinging it. Yes. You look good

That's their pitch to Vrabel come here. You get not one but two quarterbacks. Yeah, I mean I cannot believe they did that to Gerard Maia he was a bridge to Mike Vrabel. That's it I mean, they will didn't want to be the guy that replaced the guy now He's the guy that replaces the guy listen I mean if there was ever a question as to what tampering looks like it was yesterday in New England Like it seems very apparent Mike Vrabel is already the head coach of that team. Yeah. Yeah, and they knew that yeah So channel and much like Kirk Cousins and Tyreek Hill they use the Jets as leverage Yeah, they interview Vrabel interviews with the Jets on Friday Sunday. Hey listen. We're gonna move on we're gonna do our thing Yeah, I guess we'll talk to Mike Vrabel. Mm-hmm. Yeah. The interviews with the Jets on Friday, Sunday. Hey, listen,

we're going to move on. We're going to do our thing. Yeah. I guess we'll talk to Mike Bray. Yeah. Mikey, do you have a winner or a loser? I have another winner if you want me to get to. Okay. Present. I give you your winner. The

world's number one vodka. Please drink responsibly. My winner, one of my winners from the weekend, Aaron Rodgers. Wow. Okay. I mean, he saved his best for last. I thought that's what we were going to get every single week. Yeah, we got it in his final week. It's not going to be his final game. I don't think. Really? I'm not certain he's going to play for the Jets, but I think Aaron Rodgers is going to continue to play football. Where? I don't know. I have no idea. I have a loser off that. I don't know. You have a loser off of that? Off of that, yeah.

Loser, the New York Jets, because for a 5-12 season, is that what they had? 5-12. Aaron Rodgers, that season, he's third all time for the Jets in both touchdowns and yards. Wow. A five-win team, but all time, he's third. Wow, in one season. That's kind of crazy. team, but all time. He's third in one season. Yeah, that's kind of crazy. Well, for one season. Okay. Third best season for a Jets quarterback in history. You guys see something yesterday? I see something

that five wins moving forward. You're like, you know, that's our guy next year. I saw them win a game. They didn't need to win. That's what I Yeah. But I'm saying you didn't see anything out of Aaron like, oh, you know what? Let's run this back. I saw four touchdowns, no interceptions. I wanted to see that a year ago. He did throw an interception. Oh yeah, boy. The first pass of the game was an interception. That might be your guy next year. It's gonna be our guy next year.

It's not. It's not. It can't be. It can't be. Do you? I know you do. I mean, I know you don't want Sam Darnal left. Listen, I am telling you, if we started the regular season again right now the Jets would go to the Super Bowl I mean yeah it gets the bears still facing the Bears yes getting hot at the right side bears bears bears to all yesterday big win yesterday that they didn't need I mean I guess they need

that for like their own psyche like hey we can beat the Packers right but they really didn't need that win it only took ten times I really did not need that win yesterday first one at Lambo in like 70 years or something like that what does you have a winner or loser and Mike McDaniel look pretty bad in that press conference not knowing Tyra kills availability when they asked him he's like I heard there was a new injury now he's not he just looked defeated my you know, it's all cool wearing sneakers and sunglasses on the sideline until you're, you know, crashing out against the cats.

He needs to come back like next year in like Skechers or something. Nothing against fine people at Skechers. And some cargo shorts? But like, he's got it, yeah, cargo pants, like some Skechers, or like, I don't think Payless still exists in the US, but like some Payless shoes

You know I mean like enough with the uh enough with the cool bulls**t. I'm sorry for cursing Go back to being a dork back to basics exactly right. Let's get back in the lab Let's stop with the shoes with the tags on them and right when you put up 70 you're cool exactly the capris That you show your ankle like let's back in the lab. Let's get a haircut. Let's put on some contact lenses. Let's not act like we have this job locked up. Was JJ McCarthy a winner last night? No.

Darnold did not. I mean, that's the biggest game of the year, and Darnold did not play well. He's not a winner. JJ McCarthy, not a winner. No, but they're headed into the playoffs. It can all be erased next week. Yeah, it's actually a winner JJ McCarthy not a winner now, but they're headed into the plastic. You can all be erased next week Yeah, it's actually a great loss for the Vikings bring it bring it back down to earth

How is it a great loss for the Vikings bring you back down to earth? They could have had the one seed a buy in two home games to get to the Super Bowl now You know you can be beaten Arnold's playing chess. I gotta be honest with you good loss. I'm it's how It's nothing that has ever happened before But if there's ever one person that says you know what? We you know like you can you can win the coin toss and you can defer yes if there's anyone that would ever Defer a buy it's Dan Campbell, right?

Like I'm surprised that he hasn't looked into maybe he did and we haven't heard about it would ever defer a buy. It's week until we get the job done. You know? Yeah. Sam Dardle, enjoy your bye week. We got LA. Yeah. We got LA. Next week, we're going to be back home. We're going to keep home field. But we'll do you a solid. We'll go to LA next week.

We'll TCB, and we'll see you here in two weeks. Is he trying to call Andy Reid and be like, hey, let's get a one versus one off camera? Like, let's just meet up and play some like off camera, like let's just meet up and play some football. Yeah, you know how like in training camp, you have teams that work out together? Yes.

Yeah, that's what the Lions are doing right now. They're like calling anyone, like the Chiefs, they're calling the Bills, like, come on, let's just get some reps in together this week. It's like the third Apollo-Rocky fight. It's like no one's gonna know who won. It's just gonna do it for us. Yeah. It's calling Canton seeing if the field's available. Yes. Uh, we told Billy, Mikey, eh, that the, uh, chiefs were gonna do everything they could to keep Joe Barrow out of the playoffs. We'll discuss that end if the season ended today. Next.

Hey, next. What is, Dax are you? Tracking all our cars on Carvana Value Tracker on all our devices? Yes, Kristin, yes I am. Well, I've been looking for my phone for- In Dax's domain, we see all. So we always know what our cars are worth. All of them?

All of them. Value Surge, trucks up 3.9%. That's a great offer. I know, sell? Sell. Track your car's value with Carvana Value Tracker today. So. So.

So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So.

So. So. So. So. So. So. So. I've been doing some thinking here. By the way, I wanna welcome everybody back to God Bless Football presented by Smyrnaf. We do game days. Please drink responsibly to Smyrnaf Company, New York, New York.

I've been doing some thinking about this one versus one that we were kind of joking about heading into the last break in Canton and all that. What if every year the bye week teams have like their own pro bowl games against each other, like a little mini Super Bowl preview. You know what I mean? If things go the way that they should go

and the one faces the one next year, here's a little preview of how they would fair in dodgeball. So you're saying like the Lions and the Chiefs would, would host the bye week games. Yeah. And play dodgeball. Dodgeball, we'd bring back drone drop. That wasn't a thing. the Chiefs would would host the Don't go too hard in the uh you know, you don't want to get hurt doing it. Well, you gotta you gotta be smart about it. You know, you don't wanna. Do

you? Don't go too hard in the the Dan Campbell would play all of his starters. That's the problem. That's why I'm telling you, I'm shocked that Dan Campbell accepted this buy. I can't believe it. You can't. No. Uh I have something going

on with my phone where I think I changed the language and I don't know how to get out of it. So. Yeah, you're showing me your dog. What do you mean? Change it. Hold on a second. What's?'s things are coming in and like Chinese. Can we handle that after? Yes, we can. I'm sorry. I was distracted because I had winners and losers and notes on there and I had I don't read them because they're

mandarin. Bad day to not have your phone available. I feel like for Stu gots, it will be easier for him to learn Chinese than to change his phone back. Maybe. I don't know. Debatable. Billy, we told you by the way that the chiefs were going to do everything they could to keep Joe Burrow out back. Maybe. Uh I don't know. Uh Billy, we told you by the way that the Chiefs were going to do everything they could to keep Joe Burrow out of it. I

don't like it. I'm telling you, this is the year to get the Chiefs if you want them. Um the Chiefs laid an egg and they did it on purpose because they didn't want Joe Burrow in it. Now, Bo Nicks is in the playoffs but the Chiefs Carson

Wentz was a complete disaster. Uh and I cannot believe the Chiefs, Carson Wentz was a complete disaster. Mm. Uh and I cannot believe the Chiefs rolled over. They said all the right things headed into the weekend. We're not scared of anyone. They're scared of Joe Barrow. Are they are? Oh yeah. Okay. Yup.

They're scared of him. Yes. Yeah. I didn't know. Losers. Spags hot seat? No. Uh. 38 points. Not a good look yesterday. Yeah. Not a good. I don't know. Uh by the way, Lamar Jackson, if Lamar Jackson wants to get to the Super Bowl

because the criticism of Lamar Jackson is doing in the post season. Mm hmm. He's been great in the regular season. He's going to have to beat Mike Tomlin. Yeah. He's then going to have to beat uh Josh Allen on the

road. And if he does all that, I'll have to go to Kansas City and beat Patrick Mahomes. Good luck. Oh. Yeah. And then probably go to the Super Bowl and beat Baker Mayfield. That's right. I'm rooting for Baker. I am. Me too. Billy, you like

Baker. Uh I I do like Baker. I don't have any confidence in the Buccaneers winning or going on a deep run. I thought I thought for a time this season, a sneaky little team, they could make a run in the NFC. I do not believe that anymore. You know, no, I don't. Let's let's figure out a team we can rally behind. Huh? Okay. Because the Dolphins are out. The Jets are out. We're we're picking our own playoff teams here.

Yeah. The last time I saw the Jets play a playoff teams here. Yeah. The last time I saw the Jets play a playoff game was a 2010 Mikey. It was. Yeah, I hate them. Uh so they're out of it. Uh the Dolphins are out of it. I think me and Mikey are leaning towards getting behind the

Bucks here. I am not certain if uh if Billy would like to join us but I am all about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I like that team. Yeah, I'm with you. I'm I'm all in on Tampa. Let's go Tampa. That's my team for the playoffs. Okay. Until

they lose. I was going to say this. Maybe a one week, a one week. Yeah. They can beat the commanders. I mean, they can't. They can beat the commanders. Yeah, they also got the home game. I got some. Maybe I'll inherit the commanders if they

win. Okay. You inherit whoever beats the Bucs. You're I like that. Maybe. I like that. Your your team is the Bucs. I like that. I like that. Your team is the Bucs path or projected path. And whenever they get eliminated, you then inherit that team. And when they get eliminated, you inherit the next team. So ultimately, until we get to Philadelphia, you're going to be like an Eagles fan or a Lions fan at the end. No, no, I'm not going to root for Philadelphia.

I'll just move on from there. Oh, who do you guys think is the worst playoff team? Because I have a nominee. The Broncos, most people would say. The Texans. The Houston Texans move on from there. Oh. Who do you guys think is the worst playoff team because I have a nominee? Uh the Broncos most people would say. The Texans. The Houston Texans. Really? Oh yeah. The Houston Texans are

the worst playoff team. Correct. Yeah. That's what I think at least. Man, let me tell you. The Panthers dodged a bullet. Huh. Taking Bryce Young over CJ Stroud. Oh really? Bryce Young is a quarterback. Alright. Alright. I'm not with

you there. No. Dual. Dual threat. I'm just. Dual threat Bryce Young. That's where I get off the train. Are you saying? That's where I get off the train. So'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie.

I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm into a game manager. Best thing for him. Yes. Like he's been amazing. We have Raven Steelers too. We tired of that game yet. I mean, seriously, the Chargers. Enough of Russell Wilson. Oh, the Chargers are three-point favorites on the road at Houston. Yeah, Houston's been bad, but you're not going to be surprised if Houston wins that game. You can't be surprised if Houston wins that

game. Really? I think I would be not going to be surprised if Houston wins that game. You can't be surprised if Houston wins that game. Really? I think I would be. I think the Chargers are. Is there a game where you'd be surprised? I'd be surprised if the Steelers beat the Ravens. I'd be surprised if the Broncos beat

the Bills. I don't know. I I gotta tell you. I don't know. I'm I'm I'm not picking the Broncos but I wouldn't be surprised. Give me mobo. Mobo. I mean, eight and a half points there. They they should beat the spread. Would you be

surprised if the Packers beat the Eagles? No. There might be something to play off love. Hold on. Are we playing? Remember last year they were the Cowboys were supposed to roll them. Right. Is this if the season ended today? Uh not officially. I don't think. I'm not sure. Not officially. Well, I mean, if we're doing this and then we do if the season ended today. Right. Is this if the season ended today? Uh uh not officially. I

don't think. I'm not sure. Officially. Well, I mean if we're doing this and then we do if the season ended today, we're doing the exact same thing. Hmm. Are we? Uh I just asked who the worst playoff team was. That's all he did.

Yeah. Yeah but we're going through every matchup right now. I know. So we would know what happens. Let's not go through every matchup. We only went through like four of them. Right. There's only. Well, do you want to make it official

and have Mikey do if the season ended today? We might as well. Yeah. You open the door you want to make it official and have Mikey do if the season ended today? You might as well. Yeah, you're open the door. Alright, make it official, Mikey. Alright, fine. If the season ended today, right now, the Chargers would go to the Texans. We did that

one. Wow. The Steelers would go to the Ravens. We did that one. Wow. The Broncos would go to the Bills. We didn't do that one. We just said we're tired of the matchup. I mean, if the season ended today, would we be tired of that matchup? Yes? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Nine and a half. If the season ended yesterday, I'd be tired with that matchup. Nine and a half points for the Ravens.

That's a lot of points. It is a lot of points. That is a whole lot of points. By the way, how does Mike Tomlin not go to Justin Fields in that game? I mean, Russell Wilson looked bad. You look bad. You have just, the weather's bad. Russell Wilson's bad. And Justin Fields is a quarterback who runs the ball. I mean, Russell Wilson looked bad. You look bad. You have Justin. The weather's bad. Russell Wilson's bad and Justin Fields is a quarterback who runs the ball. Like, at least give it a try. To be fair, George Pickens, no

help to Russell Wilson yesterday. Yeah, he was so bad. I think he had like four targets and three of them were drops and then the other one was like a a reception for zero yards. It was he was bad. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not going to question Mike Tomlin. You're not?

No. Why? I just, I've learned. What do you mean? Just don't question Mike Tomlin. What have you learned? He's won one Super Bowl. That, whoa.

You're off to Tomlin. Wait a second. You've been telling us he's Coach of the Year for 15 years now. I have not been saying that. I said earlier this year he's overrated. You say he's the greatest coach of the NFL every single year. I've been saying I said earlier this year. You say he's the greatest coach of the NFL every single year. I said

I listen they've had three coaches since 1969. I got news for you. Tomlin's the worst of the three. How about that? Huh? Chuck Knowles got four Super Balls. Bill Cowers got two. I mean. I don't know what we're doing. Billy. Did you hit your

head? What's going on? Hey, Tomlin. He's listen. Tomlin, the last five years, like a 500 coach. He's got a playoff game. He's got an argument. I think he's reading his Chinese phone wrong. What's going on here? It's back to English. Jeez Louise.

What'd you do for New Year's, Tugats? I mean, Flutters is agreeing with me. You guys think Tomlin's a great coach? No. It's not about the take. It's about how that has not been your tune for the last 15 years. And now all of a sudden it's Tomlin's overrated. New year, new you. I mean, tunes don't know about how that has not been your tune for the last 15 years and now all

of a sudden it's Tomlin's overrated. New year, new you. I mean, tunes change, times change and I've been, I said earlier, I said it this season, he's overrated. Okay. Sorry for you. What'd you do this year for New Year's? Like, what's

going on here? I uh I did nothing for New Year's. Yeah. I went to Bob Weir at the Broward Center. Little golf. I played a lot of golf, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I enjoyed myself. How about you, how was your New Year's? That was fine, nothing. Did you make it up till midnight?

Yeah, I did. Did you really? Yeah. Mikey, midnight? Nope, passed out. Really? I saw a great thing for you, Billy. That's my guy!

Yeah, it was, I saw it online, these family, they did a fake New Year's at like 7 p.m. Cause obviously the kids were oblivious. I love that. Yeah, the kids are so oblivious. I've done that, I've done that. I did with New Year's B at 7 p.m. Yeah, so the kids do Happy New Year at 7,

by eight o'clock they're asleep, and then it's parent time after that. We did that at nine this year. There you go. We did the old balloons in the ceiling with like a tarp or whatever. We pulled it down, the balloons came. Balloons were laying around on the floor

for four days after. They'd slowly pop. There was confetti inside the balloons. It was a whole mess. Everyone was scared every time a balloon would pop, but it was fun for about four seconds. Big fraudulent New Year, just like Mike Tomlin. Jeez.

Wow. Billy, you can't see it now, but there's gonna be a time sooner than you think where those kids are gonna not wanna spend New Year's with now, but there's gonna be a time, sooner than you think, where those kids are gonna not want to spend New Year's with Dad, and you're gonna be, you cannot wait to get to sleep by 10 o'clock. They'll be out till five in the morning. You won't care. And they won't care about you.

I'd probably be worried. As long as they text you at midnight. As long as they text you, happy New Year, Dad. Good, son, good night. Okay. Just so you know they're alive. All right. And they still care about you a little bit. Yeah. Alright. Yeah.

Anyway. I I look forward to that I guess. I don't know how I'm supposed to respond. No. No. I don't look forward to that. Well, no. You should look there. There are there are parts of it you should look forward to. We uh we by the way. Ten o'clock sleeping part is the part you should look forward to. Can we uh this is a big football day when we've gotten off track but I I so you got Mike Mike Fuentes, you didn't do the episodes with us that we were doing, the audio only episodes

during the break, but we caught on to what we think may have been a falsehood from Stugatz where every time we were recording, and he will defend himself now, every time we were recording, he was on his way to drop someone off at the airport. So we were constantly, he was on his way to drop someone off at the airport. But so we were coming from we were constantly sending people out. No one was coming back, but we were sending them out again. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. How many trips did your family go on this week?

This past two weeks, I had my two daughters who came home from college at separate times, and then one of them came home. And then I think about seven to 10 days later went to Australia. She's studying Australia Yeah, she's studying abroad Emma and that yes, and that what she's studying. I have no isn't she studying communications What is she going to study abroad for she's going to Australia? Communications in Australia So we had to get her from from my South Florida to New York for that trip I'm not going to go there now. the flight. She's ever, you know, she, the flights, she's at Syracuse University and the flights. Yes, the flights out

of New York to California. She wanted to go with her, some of her friends who were going. So they all got on the plane together. That's a long plane ride, bro. Oh, I know. Oh my god. Yeah, I know. And it was stressful for us. It's like

twenty-three hours. Yes. You've been on that flight? No, but I remember when I was thinking of going to Japan, they were like, oh, it's 18 hours and I had stress about it. So, I can only imagine a full twenty-four hours on a plane. Did she get there? Yeah, she got there. She's fine She's having fun celebrate New Year's over there here. Where do we celebrate New Year's? She celebrated it over there Wow So she's living in the future. Yeah, exactly. It was New Year's a day. She was wishing me. Happy New Year's

I'm like, it's not New Year's. Yeah, exactly It's in three days. Yeah Are you gonna go visit her in Australia? I am going to, yes. She just there for a semester? She's there for five months, yeah. When you're gonna visit? Wanna join me? I don't know, I'm trying to see. Maybe something lines up.

We have any NFL games in Australia this year? I'm trying to think of what they play there. We do, coming up. No, we don't, not in Australia. Well, yeah, that's what they're trying to do at least. Really? Yeah, but she'll be gone by then. Yeah, not this season.

Big thing, man. I didn't think that out. Dude, I'm trying to- Give it to Google. Expense you a trip to Australia. That's not just write it off right away. Yeah, not this big of a thing. Big thing, man. Then just, dude, I'm trying to- Give it to Google. I'm gonna expense you a trip to Australia. That's not just write it off right away. Well, I got news for you. When I'm going-

God bless football, mate. The Australian Open's going on. Wow. I mean, I am the tennis guy here in mental arc media by now. Are you? I am now. Wow, what's up?

I just bought and financed a car through Carvana in minutes. See you next time. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.

Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.

Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye-hmm. Hey, have you checked out that spreadsheet I sent you for our dinner options? Finance your car with Garvana and experience total control. Financing subject to credit approval. So you got some breaking news this morning that obviously now is much later in the day on the Trafficking Network.

It's this afternoon so it's been discussed all day long but in the morning it was... It's tomorrow in Australia. That's true. It is tomorrow in Australia. Did you see the flight? You sure it's not yesterday? I don't know. Your daughter already knows who's fired. That's true. Oh my gosh

We should have broke you should be breaking news. Let's hold on a second Let's enter exactly right let's send a zoom link to Stu got his daughter So she can tell us all of the NFL news and she's a day ahead of us Because we're moving here. Just shifter just have contacts in Australia, and that's how he breaks all the news? I imagine he flies there for this time of year. You know what I mean? Like, Shifty's just in Australia now, so that's how he gets ahead of everyone else.

So it is 1230 in the morning in Sydney. You want to send a Zoom link to my daughter? It's Tuesday already. Yeah, so she knows. God, I wish it was Tuesday. Because a college girl is probably asleep at 1230. Yeah, at 1230. She's probably been studying all day

So the breaking news out of Australia starting anyway Doug Peterson has been let go really Doug Morrone as I call him That's a deep cut for those of you who have been long listeners We had uh, we had Peterson on the show once yes And Billy introduced him as Doug Marrone and he was offended and he had every right to be. I didn't even I said coach Marrone which was like I got way too comfortable the wrong dog Yeah, I was trying to be respectful and say coach and I just went wrong, but really I mean especially in light of the news Today out of Australia. Yes. Doug Peterson, Doug Marrone. Is there a difference? Well, at

the time, there was a difference but in your defense, now there's not. Yeah, I mean, they've joined the same club of uh yes. Former Jag. One of them has a Super Bowl. Yes. You know, technically. Right. Uh Mikey, you were saying during

the break that you think Ben Johnson's going to Jacksonville which would surprise me by the way. Uh listen, according to a lot of reports, it's like the worst kept secret. Ben Johnson is headed to the Jaguars and now, I think we can assume that Mike

Frabel is going to the Patriots. Right. That might be why Antonio Pierce might stay with the Raiders. They might know they're not getting Frabel. They're like, eh, let's just roll this guy out there one more year. Save the money. Dominos

are droppings to gods. They are. For the really bad teams. They're going up and falling real quick. Uh which place would you most want to be at? New Orleans, Jacksonville, Chicago, New York, New England because Ben Johnson can pick

his job. Well, I guess he can't pick New England because that job's already gotten the What if what if he called New England though and he's like, you know what? I want a job. Because Ben Johnson can pick his job. Well, I guess he can't pick New England because that job's already gotten the rain. What if what if he called New England though and he's like, you know what I want that job. Yeah, what do they do? I like

Joe Milton. Yeah. I like Joe Milton. The future. I saw that guy. Did you see that guy do a flip? I want him. He's so good. He's not. He's really not so good. I had no idea. He was good yesterday. He looked good. He really did, Billy. I could only go by what I saw. Not so good. Billy, you look good. That's okay. Beat the number two seed Bills. You should get him for the Jets. Milton be your starter. He's the guy the Jets would classically overpay for. And be out of the league in two years. No, not out of the league. They trade him in two years and seven years later, he'd be good somewhere else. Yeah he's a new guy in the Rams after Stafford retires, and he excels in

Who's who's gonna be your quarterback like who's gonna be the washed-up like Jets Kirk Cousins? It's Kirk Cousins Yeah, I mean it just it just fits too well Yeah, then because they tried to get him a few years ago He used them as a leverage to get more money from Minnesota. It just fits too well They're gonna go get him and be like this this is who we wanted all along. Are you drafting a quarterback? I mean, we have the seventh pick in the draft. Not to play though, like draft a quarterback to develop. No, and it won't be a first round guy unless one of the two big ones fall. You don't think they'll use seven on it. It's not a good quarterback.

It's not a good quarterback class. It's not. They're gonna they're gonna take a Quinn Ubers or somebody like that. Jackson Dart second third round. Quinn Ubers I feel like a year ago's draft stock was like sky high. I agree. He was gonna be great and now it's like he's not a first rounder. Did you see the report? Yes. There's a story. Yes. Go ahead. Nike Talas. Go ahead. That there's a school, a mystery school. Yes. That's offering him big money to take a fifth, a graduate school. Yes. That's part of that. Get the hell out of town. But I said like. If I'm Texas, I pay for part of that. Get the hell out of town. But we have quickly arrived. Well, they

don't have to. He he has to leave Texas. He has to leave Texas, right? He has one year at another school if he wants, right? Yes. Uh. It's a grad transfer year. I think we have quickly arrived at a time where guys are going to have those

decisions to make on an annual basis. Do I stay in college and make ten million or do I go to the NFL and make less? Oh you think Mario's Notre Dame sniffing around Mario Cristobal's on the move. Yeah, Queen yours Cam Ward gonna be the number one pick in the draft That's that's the report that the Titans are one of the few teams that liked Cam Ward more than they like Chador liked Cam Ward more than they liked Chador. Good for him. Why you say that? I'm happy for him, but man,

if the number one pick in the draft down here, you can't make it to the playoffs, jeez. You don't like Cam Ward? No, that's not a Cam Ward criticism at all. It's more a Cristobal criticism. Yeah, well. Guy sucked it up at you. Sunbelt, three games a year

Also if I use best years Yeah debatable Yeah, first bowling first bowl. Why are you going in on crystal ball right now? This guy? Guy has a season down here doesn't win a damn game has another season was one game Go to like two bowl games and then boom T. Y. Hilton leaves back to three has a season down here. Doesn't win a damn game. Has another season, he wins one game. Go to like two bowl games and then boom, T.Y. Hilton leaves back to three wins a season. Fraud.

Gets Cam Ward, he has a chance to get to the playoffs. He kicks a field goal instead of going with Cam Ward, who's going to be the number one pick of the draft. I mean. Some, some. The back coach. Breaking news. Some are saying he was holding Oregon back.

Wait, are you saying we have breaking news again? Wow, let's go to Australia. Sidney down under. Mikey, what do you have? Joe, uh, I'm sorry, uh, Brian Dayball and Stu Gotts' boy, Joe Shane will stay. Yeah. Neither guy is being let go. There's a, there's a lot of teams coming out and saying we're very happy with our bad situation and it's really weird. We had a couple of them yesterday, we're having another one now where it's just like, ah, we're good!

And it's like, no, no, no, no, you're not good. Make a change, what are you doing? If you're putting out the statement, hey, we're gonna keep these guys, not a good sign. Yeah, if they have to be reassured. The dreaded vote of confidence. It's 100% us, or I guess the management saying, this is your last chance.

Like, this is it. We're good, we're happy with this direction for one more season, and then you're done, because why else are we putting out so quickly? I really don't get why the team owners are so eager to go out there and upset their fan base after disappointing seasons, because that's what it is.

It's all the disappointing teams and the owners are just running out to say, you know what, I know that you're frustrated. Stay frustrated, because we're doing nothing about this. We're good. Why don't you wait a day? Like, what are we doing? Or just do nothing. Or just do nothing. Just say nothing. Just say nothing. Yeah. We're good. Why don't you wait a day? Like what are we doing? Or just do nothing. Or just do nothing.

Just say nothing. Just say nothing. Yeah, just say nothing. I guess you wanna like, oh, you know what? This is our guy. We wanna, you know, have some calm in the building, have everybody know that, you know, we have a plan here and it's like, but your plan here is to not fix the problem. Right. That's going on here. Yes. No, I like what you said. The Giants are saying, no, we're good and you're saying, no, you're three and fourteen. Yeah, you're not Yes. No, I like what you said. The Giants are saying, no, we're good and you're saying, no, you're three

and fourteen. Yeah, you're not good. Like, you're not even exploring other options. You're like, you know what? We thought about this for 15 minutes and uh we're good. Going back. And to go deeper into what you said, Billy, you know, when you put

out a statement like that, you're essentially saying you've got one year, like you need to fix it. A GM's job is to build for the future but if I've got one year, yeah, to fix it. A GM's job is to build for the future but if I've got one year, yeah, I'll

give you all my first round picks to to save my job for another year. That's how that's how teams get behind the eight ball with trying to keep jobs. Hmm. Hmm. Uh you had that terrible, terrible win a couple of weeks ago with Drew Locke

trying to impress the rest of the NFL. Good win. He did though. It's a terrible win. It was a terrible win. He's a starter next year. No, I know he did. He's a starter next year. The Jets. I mean. Drew Locke and Gerard Mayo, the new

Jets tandem. If the Jets hire Mayo. I, I, I. And by the way, I have no idea if Mayo's a good coach or not. How could anyone know? I hope that later today, we get a report saying, you know what? We thought about this. Daniel

Jones is our guy. We're gonna bring him back. We're gonna stick with Danny Dimes. He's our guy. He's on the Vikings. Oh, that's true. He's on the Vikings. I forgot. I totally forgot about that. We're bringing him back. He's on the Vikings.

How was your vacation, Billy? Oh my god. Dude, I was yesterday did a stream for, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,

I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,

I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, Right, but maybe he's back. We got a chicken with Australia Well, and you also forgot when you did that stream that the Chiefs were gonna keep Joe burrow out of the playoffs I mean, yeah, I have a hot take. What do you have the Bengals defense cost Joe burrow the MVP? Hmm. I'm not certain Joe burrows not the MVP. I'm certain Joe burrows not the MVP. Yeah, he didn't make the playoffs

No, I know he's not gonna win it Anyways, but he would have won it. I think if they make the playoffs he wins it really. Yeah, he's been great I don't. He's not going to win it but I'm not going to win it anyways. But he would have won it. I think if they make the playoffs, he wins it. Really? Yeah, he's been great. I don't think so. Yeah, he's he's been amazing. He has been great. He has been

good. No, Billy. He's been great. Yes, but he has a like historically great. Yeah, but to win the MVP, there there's been not much chatter of him and it's it's the quarterback on one of the best teams in the NFL. You're right. But it no

but like it's not going to I it's between two guys right? Lamar Jackson. And Josh. And Josh. Yeah. And and maybe Saquon. Maybe. No. Doubtful though. No he's not going to. No. Okay. Offensive player of the year is Saquon or

Dramar. Do these sound these sound like MVP numbers. 4918 yards, 43 touchdowns, 900 receptions. No I'm not disputing that he didn't have a good year. but what I'm saying is, him making the playoffs, the last week of the season, the voters' minds have already been made up one way or another. It's not just gonna be like,

oh, Joe made it, hold on, let me change my vote completely. I don't know. If he's in the conversation, maybe, but not to come out of nowhere, and just he wins now the MVP. No, I think the Bengals record hurts him, because he's first in yards, first in touchdowns. If the Bengals made the playoffs. I think he in yards, first in touchdowns. If the

Bengals made the playoffs, I think he wins the MVP. Right, but if they made the playoffs the way, if they're dominant all year and make the playoffs, he's the obvious MVP. What Billy's saying is right. Voters may have made up their minds

already and sneaking in final week might not be enough to sway voters. Yeah. If they were the Broncos. Not enough voters. Maybe. If they were the like that team that was the seven seed the whole time, but still needed to win at the end. I think he makes the I think he I think he wins the MVP. If the season if the season was three weeks longer, maybe he'd be the MVP.

And the Jets would be four and oh, they're going to ride high. Go on a three game win streak right now. Jets are hot. The Asian course with the Bears. I didn't want the season to end today. Don't look out for the Jets. I wanted a new season to start today. Getting hot at the right time.

They are. They might be the best of all the bad teams. Are they? Headed into the bad playoffs. I'll take the Panthers on that. The bad playoffs. You like that, don't you? I like a bad playoffs for the number two pick. I'll take the Panthers on that the bad playoff I like a bad playoff for the number two pick in the draft So you have the number one pick in the draft is the worst team and then you have the bad playoffs for the number two

Pick in the draft, but but wait you can win So you can beat you can have the first and second pick in the draft if you win the bad playoff Oh, so the Titans are in the bad playoffs. Wow, I like that. Billy, I might like your idea better than mine. I always thought the number one pick should be a bidding war, a silent auction. Ooh.

But you have to pay the player you draft the money that you bid. I like the silent auction being non-financial. So you're giving up assets. So it could be like a player, like we will give you whoever for the number one pick. Or we'll give you my timeshare and bokeh. You know what I mean?

Like it's just out there and it's whatever Roger wants to kind of get. And if you give up an asset, like you give up a player, that asset, or I guess even the thing, is up for being drafted. So like you could draft the timeshare if you wanted to. You have billionaires having a timeshare. Totally taking the timeshare.

A billionaire is with a timeshare, is what he has here. It's like an ex-wife's timeshare. In the bad playoffs, who would be the favorite in the NFC? The Falcons? Do we do NFC? No, Seahawks. Oh, the Seahawks, wow. Do we do NFC, AFC for the bad playoffs? What's your favorite in the NFC? The Falcons? Mm. Do we do NFC? No,

Seahawks. Oh, the Seahawks. Do we do NFC AFC for the bad playoffs or is it just one big seating of all the bad teams? Oh, does Dak come back for the bad playoffs? Wow. Whoa. So, they could draft his replacement? Yeah, Dak could

probably then tank the bad playoffs. Right. I like that. The bad the bad I mean the Bengals would be the overwhelming favorite the bad playoffs, right? The bad playoffs are the opposite of week a team in terms of incentives because all the incentives are for the players to Do badly and lose so that they can't be replaced. You got to give a huge monetary prize Like the team splits a hundred million dollars or something. Well, yeah for the bad play. Yeah for the bad play They want to win they get a time something. For the bad playoffs. Yeah, for the bad playoffs, because then they want to win. They get a timeshare. Yeah, something stupid like that, yeah. They get a timeshare, they get time at the timeshare,

the billionaire timeshare. The billionaire's ex-wife's timeshare. Ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. We will get to the college football final four coming up later this week. We'll do a preview. Hopefully Lucy will join us. We'll see if the Bears around, see if goal is going to come into town. Notre Dame plays Penn State Thursday night right down here.

You know what's not going on Billy's couch. I haven't sent that invitation. I'm gonna do that today. I need to reach out to him and let him know that the couch is available. The Gullicks, are they both coming? They should just do the show from here. I mean, I don't book the studio,

but why don't they do their show from here one day? I don't know. I asked Mike if he was coming. He said he wasn't sure yet. Ah, alright. You never know with the Gullicks. You never know. Just waiting out for the right offer. I have a question for you. Those feisty Gullicks. Never know with the goal. You never know. Just waiting waiting out for

the the right uh right off. I have a I have a question for the goal. It's not my coach. I have two questions for you guys. Mm hmm. Has Mike McCarthy done enough? No. No. He's going to get fired today. No. But he hasn't. No, he

doesn't. That's the that's the that's the weird thing. He doesn't even have to get fired. His contract is up. All they have to do is not resign him him has he done enough or Jerry Jones will resign him is what I'm asking the the funny thing a low ball Um, that's Jerry the funny thing about Mike McCarthy loves a good low ball The answer loves a good the contract leverage. He does a good low ball and a timeshare Did you see did you see Jerry allegedly and I'm not sure Jerry allegedly, and I'm not 100% sure, Jerry allegedly saved $500,000 by not starting Cooper Rush because Cooper Rush was in line for like a snaps bonus

and because Cooper Rush did not play and Trey Lance played instead, Jerry saved $500,000. He said he had no idea about it. Yeah, of course. Even though he's the team's GM. Right. Bullsh-t. Oh. That's how you become a billionaire though, boys. Yeah. It's the team's GM. Right. Bullsh**. Oh.

That's how you become a billionaire though, boys. Yeah. It's not what you make, it's what you keep. So you asked, has Mike McCarthy done enough? I had a second question, but that's the first one, yes. I think, and it's the rare situation where the answer is always no. You don't even need to add onto it.

Has he done enough to get fired? No. Has he done enough to get fired? No, has he done enough to justify keeping his job? No, he's just never done enough. Well, he won a Super Bowl that one year. McCarthy did really well with Cooper Rush and Trey Lance as his quarterback, but his quarterback is Dak Frescott, who he was terrible with and who is the franchise. But let's keep him around to work with Dak Prescott. We got into

And this will be an offseason thing because there's no need to do it during the playoffs But we got to do it we're gonna do it right now worst coaches to win the Super Bowl because we've already referred to Mike McCarthy as Super Bowl winning coach and Doug Peterson as Super Bowl winning coach and both of them are kind of like okay, but They're Mike McCarthy and Doug Peterson as Super Bowl winning coach. And both of them were kind of like, okay, but they're Mike McCarthy and Doug Peterson. And Mike Tomlin. I really, what has happened tomorrow in Australia that you know about that has changed your thinking so much? Like how far ahead are you guys in Australia?

Did you already see the playoff results for the first week? Like, what are we doing? Hey, lost to the Ravens, got blown out. What was your, if they beat the Ravens, I would not be surprised in the slightest. If the Steelers beat the Ravens? Yes. You would not be surprised.

I would not. I'd be shocked. And Stu Gotz will come in here talking about it. I'd be shocked. And it's not because I think the two teams are on the same plane whatsoever, but that seems like, yep, that's what happens. That's what happens in the first round of the playoff.

And when the Steelers play the Ravens. Exactly, right. Mike Tomlin has owned Lamar Jackson head to head in the regular season. So, I'll tell you that, well, listen, if the Steelers win that game and Billy's right, John Horvath should be fired. How about that? Someone's getting fired after that game. I'm gonna you that. Well, listen, if the Steelers win that game and Billy's right, John Horbaugh should be fired. How about that? Someone's getting fired after that game.

You know, you know, I'm gonna fire someone. Whether they get fired or not doesn't matter to me. I'm firing somebody. I can tell you what happens if if that ends up being the result next week. I can tell you right now, it's two guys's analysis. Like I have it. I almost want to write on a piece of paper and just do it. Just save it for a week. I'm just gonna tell you what it is because I'm gonna lose a piece of do it. I'll keep it here I'll keep it here But I want to say it you just you're just gonna say AFC North football That's exactly what the analysis is gonna be if that's the result

Yeah, it's all about every time every time and that's exactly every time. Every time. And I mean, maybe it's an insane conversation to be having. This man is the only Eagles coach in Eagles history to make the playoffs in his first four seasons. He was a play away from beating Andy Reid and the Chiefs in a Super Bowl. Yeah. Will he get fired if he listens to the Packers? I have a question about that because.

I have a follow up too. If you're Saquon Barkley. Yeah. And you don't win the Super Bowl. Yeah. Do you think, why the **** didn't I play in play in week 18? I could have had an all-time record. You have to win the Super Bowl. You have to. You have to. You have to win the Super Bowl. Otherwise it's all a waste. Yeah right yeah mm-hmm it's a big gamble. Huge. They're probably not going to win the Super Bowl. Just statistically they're probably not gonna win the Super Bowl. Probably not. Because I don't know if you guys know this, here's the stat of the day, only one team wins a Super Bowl every year. Right. So. Yes.

There's 14 teams going for it. Exactly right. So odds are against them here. Only one team wins the bad playoffs as well. That's true. Yeah. Number two pick on the line. Who's fan base is harder on their coach? The Eagles with Nick Sirianni or Ohio State and Ryan Day? Oh, he's safe. Ryan Day. Congratulations. Ryan Day's gonna win the title and nobody's gonna care about. Exactly. They both should be soon. You're in the driver's seat. They'll still be some people. Those guys. Look at that one guy. But there is still

a very vocal minority screaming to get rid of this coach. I mean, they blew out the undefeated number one team in the country. We uh. I I don't disagree. I mean, they blew out the undefeated number one team in the country. We, uh, I, I don't disagree. I, I think Ryan Day as a Michigan fan, I want Ryan Day there forever, but there's still people screaming that Ryan Day needs to go because he can't beat Michigan. And Nick Sirianni, like you said, was in the playoffs. He was in the Superbowl one play away and they still want him gone.

Yeah. We have three games left in college football playoffs and we're going to get to those in a later episode this week. A little underwhelming so far. Oh my god. There's still three games to go. Arizona State, Texas. Old format.

It's the only good game. There's one good game so far. Five teams. Old format, we would still have the entire playoffs ahead of us. So we can still make up for it. But new format, a little underwhelming so far. Billy, I want to tell you something.

I've been holding this in the entire show. You brought it up earlier. I didn't want to say it. I didn't want to make the full commitment to it. No. But I'm ready to make the full commitment. I don't like commitments. I think Bo Nix is going to beat the Bills.
