It was a big weekend in both college and the NFL,
Starting point is 00:03:03 and it's a big week for football, Billy. It is a very big week. You have Deadline Day coming up tomorrow. And of course, you have Selection Tuesday, college football. How about that? I mean, it's a big week. It is a big week. It is.
Starting point is 00:03:17 But all the talk before we turned on these microphones and the cameras was about the Dolphins. Yeah. Everyone is upset. Well, no, that's not entirely true. We also said that the Jets about the Dolphins. Yeah. Everyone is upset. Well, no, that's not entirely true. We also said that the Jets were right back in it. Right, but Jordan Poyer is someone that- Because of the Dolphins. Because of the Dolphins.
Starting point is 00:03:35 That's exactly right. I mean, the Jets have snuck back into playoff contention. Big game against Arizona coming up this Sunday. We'll be there, fellas, in Arizona. Ooh, yeah, that's right. We will be there. If you want to go check it out, we're going to be at the DraftKings Sportsbook. Come
Starting point is 00:03:47 visit us. Say hi. All three of us will be there. All four of us. Mike Fuentes will be there too if anyone wants to visit him. But I'll be there. Stugats will be there. Mikey A will be there. Fuentes will be there. It'll be a good time had by all.
Starting point is 00:03:58 And by the way, if you're not in the Scottsdale Phoenix area and you want to check it out, we're going to be live on YouTube. So you can watch it that way too. All right, that jet game feels like it was played a month ago, but the Dolphins played the Bills yesterday. Billy Josh Allen, I think is 15 and two
Starting point is 00:04:13 in his career against the Dolphins, something like that. He's very good against them. He is certainly an MVP candidate. It was interesting, Mike McDaniel, you get that score late in the game and you have a chance to go for two. And it's interesting to me that the Dolphins did not, I thought they should have,
Starting point is 00:04:30 I thought they should have went for the win right then and there. I had a feeling that they weren't just because of how much time was left on the clock. Cause like you knew they were gonna get a chance to kick a field goal regardless. It wasn't like, hey, there's 15 seconds, we could win it here.
Starting point is 00:04:44 And if they pull off something miraculous, then they beat us. It was basically, they have enough time to go far enough for a field goal. If you miss this, you've lost the game anyways, and they'll just take an E. And like, Dolphins hung with the Bills yesterday. They ended up losing the game, right?
Starting point is 00:04:59 But in a situation like that, where towards the end it was a shootout, they're just going back and forth scoring, you kind of feel okay about your chances in overtime. I guess I mean the mentality of kicking a game winning field goal. If you're down one as opposed to kicking a field goal that really has no consequences because if you miss it, you're
Starting point is 00:05:18 still going to overtime. Anyways, that's a different mentality. So I do what you can't just say the Dolphins go for two and Bass is gonna come down and kick a field goal anyway. You don't know that. Well, that's kind of why I like the chances of just going for overtime, right? Because Bass has not been great this year.
Starting point is 00:05:34 They were looking for his replacements. He hits a 61 yarder, which is a franchise record to win the game. Like you kind of like that spot. And by the way, the Dolphins defense was doing a good job on that drive, had it not been for Poyers penalty there, they wouldn't have been in field goal range. It was a third and nine, it was an incomplete pass,
Starting point is 00:05:50 totally unnecessary penalty. It gives them a first down, then they're able to drive it far enough to try a 61 yard field goal. As critical as I've been about kickers, you gotta give it to them, a 61 yard field goal to win the game. After missing an extra point.
Starting point is 00:06:05 And hitting the upright on another. Yeah, almost missed two. Imagine Jason Sanders in that spot. Which by the way, they wouldn't have even been in that spot had he not missed that extra point. Dolphins would have had to have gone for two. Not only is it a 61 yarder, it's like 61 yarder into a nine mile wind.
Starting point is 00:06:21 It was the most predictable Dolphins loss. That's why 61 yards is the record in Buffalo. He would have made it from 70 to be honest. That 61 yard had plenty of leg. It would have been through from 70. Yeah, he kicked it out of it. By the way, can we switch games for just one moment? Nick Sirianni.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Yeah. You don't have to go for two every time you score a touchdown. Yeah, I know. What is he, I feel like he's coaching to lose his job and his team is good enough to keep him having his job, even though he's making every attempt to lose his job. His team is one, three straight. They're five and two in the NFC East, I mean,
Starting point is 00:06:54 but I understand what you're saying. He's handing away points, going for unnecessary two point conversions and not getting them. Then he has like a classic tush push situation in which he decides, you know what? Let's not do that. Fourth and inches.
Starting point is 00:07:08 We've had this play. It wasn't successful the entire game, but like, let's not even bother. Let's do something else today. Just give them the ball back. What is he doing? You're exactly right. All he's doing is coaching. Like if I, if I don't make it, oh, well I'll get fired.
Starting point is 00:07:22 Like he just, he's trying to hand the game away and his team is so talented, they're not. He's doing everything he can to lose, but the team is still winning. Well, Saquon has decided, you know what? I'm gonna be the greatest player in the NFL. Saquon was making actually impossible moves in regards to gravity yesterday where he's jumping over people backwards.
Starting point is 00:07:42 The second Stu said the team is so talented, I was like, okay, this is the moment. Saquon Barkley is the most crazy athletic person I've ever seen in my life. Like, dude, juke a guy, hit a spin move, and then backwards hurdle a guy while still moving forward. It's the most amazing running back highlight I've ever seen. The Giants let that go. Dude, the Giants are so bad.
Starting point is 00:08:00 Oh my God. Like, you're watching, you're like, oh my God. Saquon is incredible. The Giants are so mad that like, you're watching, you're like, oh my God, Seyquan is incredible. The Giants wasted him. There will never be a more electric 14 yard gain in the history of man. That is ridiculous. Probably right.
Starting point is 00:08:14 The greatest 14 yard run in the history of the NFL. It didn't seem possible when he was doing it with his body. You could never, you could never, it was amazing. You're never gonna see that again. I kind of am waiting now that we saw that happen for the copycat where it fails miserably. Right. It's gonna be terrible.
Starting point is 00:08:31 It's gonna be fun. Someone's gonna try to jump backwards over someone and just get like pounded into the ground. I really hope it's Devin Singletary that tries it. Oh, I think I do. You're like, I can do it. I could do it with the giants I could do it. And then just gets planted.
Starting point is 00:08:45 With his back to the defender. Yeah, it was actually a catch. So in addition to juking a guy, spin moving and hurdling a guy, he also caught it. So it's the greatest 14 yard catch. Greatest catch of the weekend. The greatest 14 yard game in the history of the NFL. It was incredible.
Starting point is 00:08:59 It was incredible. Also by the way. But listen, the lane for the greatest 14 yard run is still available. It's still open. David Singletary, this is your moment. Look, we've joked about this. Trevor Lawrence stinks.
Starting point is 00:09:10 He's bad. He's bad. This isn't even like we're making fun of him, like oh, he's bad. It's a bit, no it's not a bit. I think we've graduated out of the bit on Trevor Lawrence. I don't know what's going on with him. They came back in that game, give them credit for that.
Starting point is 00:09:28 They had a chance in that game at the end, which is. I mean, he had two rushing touchdowns, but like passing wise, I don't know. Right. That's also a product of Sirianni being Sirianni. That's why they had a chance towards the end of that game. No, he's not good. Like he's just, he was eighteen
Starting point is 00:09:46 to thirty-one for 169 yards, no touchdowns, two interceptions. He's the number one overall pick in the NFL draft. He's just not good enough. Like, that's it. So, you're done with Trevor Lawrence, huh? Uh not done with him but like, I'm actually
Starting point is 00:10:01 worried like, before we joke about him, we bother Chris. He's like, oh, he's not very good. Oh, you shouldn't pay him that much. But like he's had a bad year. Right? Yeah. Speaking of guys who got paid a lot of money in the off season, Jordan Love has not been great either. Oh, I thought you were going Dak. Well, I mean, that's, we need a whole different show for that. I mean, we do.
Starting point is 00:10:17 And you have Jerry Jones coming after you. I don't care about Jerry Jones coming after me. Would it be bad if Jerry came after us? No, oh no. I feel like Jerry would like us. Yeah. Wouldn't it be bad if Jerry came after us? No. Oh, no. I feel like Jerry would like us. Yeah. I feel like he'd like us. Do you?
Starting point is 00:10:28 I do. Why is that? I don't know. I just feel like we're kind of guys. Because we did so good with Mattress Mac. I want to say go get Belichick if you're Jerry Jones, but the Falcons and Commanders seem to make the right decisions.
Starting point is 00:10:42 I would also say, okay, if I'm Bill Belichick, do I want to go to the Cowboys? That's a lot of people making a lot of money. That's a great question. They're not very good. It's it's a really good question. If you're Belichick,
Starting point is 00:10:59 do you want to deal with a roster that's probably not as good as we thought and deal with that owner and Jerry Jones. He looked up pretty happy on Halloween on the beach. He did. Yeah. Yeah. He's happy. Yeah, exactly. He seems to be. He should be happy. But I feel like and I could be speaking out of turn here. He's not someone that likes to be happy. No, he's uncomfortable with
Starting point is 00:11:21 happy. I think that he needs to get back to being unhappy. I think that happiness gives him the willies. You know what I mean? Like he's like, I guess skin cross, like what is this feeling? Happiness? Ooh. Even though by the way, in that Bill Belichick
Starting point is 00:11:33 and in the Bill Belichick documentary that we saw with Nick Saban. With Nick Saban, yeah. Yeah. He seemed like such a happy-go-lucky guy. You know what I mean? Speaking of his daughter's wedding, like he just seems like such a happy guy.
Starting point is 00:11:44 Football made him miserable. I'm happy that he's happy. Right. But I don't know if he's happy that he's happy. But I think that happens. Well, yeah, but I think football like makes him feel alive and happiness is going to kill him. He looks pretty alive to me. I'll tell you what. Could happiness kill somebody? That's a good question. Like their heart just can't. You guys just let that slide by. Their heart can't take that much happiness. The Gridge's heart grew three times its size
Starting point is 00:12:12 when he was happy. But it was good, it was fine, because it was too small before. It wasn't like an enlarged heart situation. Right. Yeah. We're gonna bring Lucy on. She was at Penn State, Ohio State.
Starting point is 00:12:21 James Franklin did what James Franklin does. We'll talk to her about that. We do not forget about college football here on a Monday. What are you laughing about? I literally wrote down in my notes from college, Penn State down to number six, James Franklin doing what James Franklin does. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Is that what he's screaming at? He's screaming at his fans, asking them their names when they're criticizing him, leaving the field. Ah, receipts, I love that. What's he gonna do with that? Yeah. Alright. Report that person to someone? I don't know. The the funniest thing is the kids he was yelling at, they all like the Peaky Blinders hats on.
Starting point is 00:12:52 Yeah. So, I don't know why that made it so funny to me. So, this is the downfall of the of the twelve team playoff is James Franklin will be rewarded for that loss because the schedule, the rest of the way is easy and Penn State's still gonna get into the playoff. I mean. Can I say that loss. He's not rewarded for that loss because the schedule the rest of the way is easy and Penn State's still going to get into the playoff.
Starting point is 00:13:10 I mean. Can I say something unpopular? I'm over the Keegan Michael Key James Franklin impression. Oh yeah. Yes. I find you did it once. Okay. You look like James Franklin. We're going to keep every year we're going to do this every time
Starting point is 00:13:21 Penn State has a big game. He's going to come in. He's going to talk like him like enough feels forced there. Yeah. Yeah. It was funny one time. Enough. We get it. Right. Also, Penn State, not good. Right. I mean, they're good but not good enough. Yeah but no, that's the
Starting point is 00:13:32 point. They're good enough to get into a twelve team playoff. They're never good enough to get into a four team playoff. Ever. If we can name it the James Franklin safety net. You know. Yeah. At one loss. Yeah. Cuz. No, that's
Starting point is 00:13:42 fine. Yeah. The extra. The extra eight teams. James Franklin slash Notre Dame. Safety net. Oh. Notre Dame. I also want the James Franklin, you know what I mean? Damn. It should be the first four then the Penn State bracket. Exactly, the James Franklin's
Starting point is 00:13:51 underneath the top. The James Franklin bracket. Everybody has a loss, but they're okay. Teams that could never get into the four-team playoff, but now they're in because we expanded it to 12. James Franklin. God, I can't stand that guy. Anyway, the Packers Lions game, Billy. the first game that we expanded at the twelve. James Franklin. God, I can't stand that guy.
Starting point is 00:14:07 Anyway, the the Packers Lions game, Billy. I I thought it was so funny how big of a deal they were making that the Lions were playing their first game out in the rain. Yeah. Jared Goff. Two gloves. Like Dan Campbell and that team cares about playing
Starting point is 00:14:24 in the rain and the wind. They did that in Green Bay without their two best defensive players. Yeah. That is amazing. They're a juggernaut man. I completely forgot that Aiden Hutchison got hurt. Like I forgot about that. He's
Starting point is 00:14:36 reminding me. He's out for the year. He just reminded me that that happened because they haven't missed a beat since. It's unbelievable. Best team not named the Kansas City Chiefs. They might be better than the Kansas City Chiefs. They are better than the Kansas City Chiefs. Wow.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Depends on if they lose tonight. Huh. Chiefs lose tonight, okay. You think that this Chiefs team is better than the Lions team? You mean the undefeated Super Bowl champions, yeah. Chiefs and Lions right now. Oh, 100%.
Starting point is 00:14:58 You're taking the Lions? I'm taking the Chiefs. Oh, you are? Until proven different. I think the Lions might be the best team in the NFL. I also will be surprised if they best team in the NFL. I also will be surprised if they end up in the Super Bowl. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:12 That's fair. Wow. That is fair. It's crazy. God bless football. In order to have a night cap, you need to have a night first.

Starting point is 00:17:36 I don't know why we continue. You guys are good friends. You are. Yes. He likes you a lot. He does. We haven't spoken since the Super Bowl but you know. But I saw him at Lake Tahoe and he said, you know, he told me, hey, tell Billy what up. I told you what up.
Starting point is 00:17:49 There you go. Yeah. I think I'm just telling you that. Yeah, I was going to say you didn't tell me that before. This is the first time I'm hearing of the what up. Do me a favor. Yeah. Tell him to say what up back.

Starting point is 00:18:15 That's yeah. This isn't a shot at him. Exactly, yeah. Just, Bill's not gonna be in the Super Bowl. Doesn't look like it. Patrick Mahomes, you know. Get out of here. That's not controversial.
Starting point is 00:18:23 Against the Lions? That's not controversial. Against the Lions? That's not good. Lions build Super Bowl is an actual impossibility. Right? You listen. It's more likely that I dunk on a 12 foot rim than that Super Bowl happens.
Starting point is 00:18:33 He'd be perfectly fine. Your buddy Josh, who you haven't seen or spoken to since the Super Bowl. Uh he'd be perfectly fine with you criticizing the team saying they're not going to make it to the Super Bowl. It's
Starting point is 00:18:43 physical characteristics that he has a problem with. That's it. He didn't seem to have a problem with it. He's already squashed. He's having a good year, by the way. Because of you. Second interception, bad place to throw an interception. Yeah. Yesterday in the red. Yes.
Starting point is 00:18:52 But that's, yeah. Now we're doing here, we're gonna play winners and losers. Okay, so do you have a winner or a loser? Oh, there it is. Oh, we have music. I have a winner. All right, winners and losers presented by Svernoff, the world's number one vodka.
Starting point is 00:19:05 Please drink responsibly. I have... two losers this week. Two losers? Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Not one but two.
Starting point is 00:19:13 You guys told me you had winners. I have two losers. You guys can handle the winners. I have two winners. Okay. Okay. Wanna go first though? Sure, we can get the negative out of the way.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Yeah. First loser this week, AP voters, because after this week, nobody cares what they think. This is the last week of AP voters being relevant in terms of college football rankings. It's a big loss. Yep. Yep. Big L for the AP voters. They had a nice little run, but it has come to an end because tomorrow we find out the real rankings that matter. Yes. Mikey A, do you have a winner or a loser? I do have a winner and I'm gonna go to college football. My winner is Brian Longwell. Who's Brian Longwell you ask? Yeah. He is a linebacker for Vanderbilt. He had four tackles and after Vanderbilt beat Auburn, he sent out a tweet with a text message he got from an Auburn coach on Christmas morning at 6 a.m Saying they didn't want him. I am always here for petty that is King petty to hold on to that for that long
Starting point is 00:20:13 Yeah, and good for him for getting the win. Okay Mike flint has tells me he has not just a winner but a big winner Wow I'm big whoo a big winner big winner from Saturday. What happened to the music, by the way? It's not faded out because usually the segment goes really long. Who wants to hear that for eight minutes? Okay. So my big, yeah, it's not a bad song. I like it. Put it back on. Oh, it's at a low point. Anyway, actually I muted it. So anyway, big winner from Saturday, Jason Kelsey, smashed a kid's phone and the internet universally loved him for it.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Wow. Why did he, I saw the story, why did he smash the kid's phone, do we know? Yeah, because they were going and they were talking crap to him and then they threw a slur at him and then he grabbed the phone and he threw it around.
Starting point is 00:21:00 And then he, I mean, he threw the slur back at him a couple of times, which wasn't great, but he smashed the phone. I was thinking about it, like, he's rich enough where he can just buy anyone new phones, right? But I would imagine there's more of a cost to it than just that, like, I don't think he can just buy the guy a phone and that's it, story's over.
Starting point is 00:21:17 No. I don't think he was working the game, so I'm pretty sure. I don't understand why he was at the game because it was the Penn State game, because he did the McAfee kick, like, he was just kind of hanging out at a college game. It felt like. Right.
Starting point is 00:21:28 He was walking around with a 12 pack of beer. Yeah. So he might've been drinking a little bit and then he was getting peppered by people. He had this situation where he's holding the beer, like the case of beer as he's walking. Right. And in the same hand, he was also holding his open beer.
Starting point is 00:21:41 He has huge hands. Well, yes. Played center in the NFL. Somewhere in between here and there, this kid thought it was a good idea to talk this massive man who used to push other massive men around in one of the world's most violent sports
Starting point is 00:21:56 and he thought nothing was gonna happen. Can I tell you something? And this is, I'm casting a wide net here and I feel like we make a pushback from this. College kids are stupid. Yeah. I don't know, you live in a very sheltered world if you think it's a good idea to go up to Jason Kelsey
Starting point is 00:22:14 and start talking crap to him and film yourself talking crap to him, hoping that he doesn't snap. Now, obviously, it would not benefit him in any way to snap, he would cost himself a lot of money. Actually, the college kid is hoping that he does snap. Now, obviously, it would not benefit him in any way to snap. He would cost himself a lot of money. Actually, the college kid is hoping that he does snap. I think. Yeah, that's what he wants. Right, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:31 I don't know. Well, it gets a viral moment. I think that's what you want until it happens because the smashing of the phone, he got off very easy. Wait, so are you guys saying that Jason Kelsey was in the right for smashing his phone or does he need to be a bigger man and just kind of walk through it? You know, he was uh
Starting point is 00:22:48 he received a lot of positive. Yes. Okay. The internet was very much behind Jason. Yeah. Uh huh. I mean you'd like him to rise above that but the internet had his back on that. I worry about him. I mean he is roaming parking lots with a 12
Starting point is 00:23:00 pack of beer. I mean that guy misses football. I don't think he doesn't know what to do with himself. I don't think he misses football at all. He's just going to see games. I think he's just having the time of his life. Alright. I have another loser. You want another loser? I have a winner first. You want that? Yeah. Yeah. Go. Uh I have a winner. My winner is the New England Patriots. That was a great loss yesterday. When you get to draft time, you will look back. You're playing the
Starting point is 00:23:20 Titans. You will circle that game. You found out something about your team. They're tough. You found out something about your quarterback Drake May. Maybe? Maybe not. I'm leaning more towards maybe. I think Drake May has moments. I'm not convinced he's great. Okay. I mean he had some moments yesterday. But I think he could be a very good quarterback and the Patriots by losing were my big winner. Okay, when you say you're gonna look back at the calendar and you circle that game, what do you why? When you get to the draft and you're drafting ahead of the Titans because the Titans, you know, won that game. That will be a moment where you circle it and say that was a good loss. Are the Titans going to be looking for a quarterback again? Are they like, have we done
Starting point is 00:24:04 with Will Levis? I mean, he's had injuries. Yeah, but like. I mean, they're playing Mason Rudolph. But this isn't, this is not a good quarterback class, right? We don't think. We have no idea. You have Shadour Sanders, you have Cam Ward, and that's. You have Ewers. I mean. Yeah. I mean, listen, people aren't high.
Starting point is 00:24:19 Right, but I've seen quarterback classes where people are not high in the class and turns out to be pretty good Listen if Todd makes a fix one two. Yes, it's a Todd McShay. Yeah, and so can you he has a new podcast Go check it out. He does well done by you. So you have another loser, huh? Todd talk. It's called. Yeah Todd Todd Todd Todd talk All right ready here is my other Club big Shae Shae. here's my other loser this week. That was my favorite.
Starting point is 00:24:46 People who took Tua's over 243 passing yards prop bet. Why is that? It is a very good and specific question. It is because with five seconds left in the game, Tua had 254 passing yards. He was over the 243 and a half. However, they were down a score. They only had about five seconds left. So, Tua passed it and then it was passed back to Jaden Waddle and Waddle
Starting point is 00:25:13 ran 24 yards in the wrong direction. Yeah. So, Tua went from 254 passing yards to about 230 passing yards and if you had the over, you then lost the over on a negative twenty-four yard passing play. Hmm. Yeah. Interesting. Are you worried that the Dolphins might trade to rekill Deadline Death? I mean, maybe. Am I. They'd be crazy to do it. I'd be okay with it. I mean. Whoa. What are you what are you going to get for him? I
Starting point is 00:25:41 guess is really the the question. Does Tariq Hill still get you? I don't know, first round pick? He's not been. Probably not. Great this year. Second or third? Well he hasn't, but two has been out, so.
Starting point is 00:25:53 Two has been good the last two days, or the last two games. Yeah. But their defense has not been good. What do you think the score of that game is if Skyler Thompson is playing quarterback? Oh my God. I'm just trying to lend it to his value
Starting point is 00:26:07 because he is so valuable to that team. I think they score six points. I wouldn't be able to tell you because I lose by a little less. Yeah, well not a little less. I wouldn't even be able to tell you because I wouldn't have watched it. Yeah, the games were pretty unwatchable until it was out.
Starting point is 00:26:22 They were. And by the way, going into that game, I expected a loss. I didn't think that anyone thought that the Dolphins were gonna beat the Bills, right? No. So like, the fact that they hung in there, I thought was good. It's a lost season.
Starting point is 00:26:33 Like, I don't think that I'm going out on a limb and speaking out of turn, saying this is a lost season for the Dolphins. It's just a matter of like, if they trade Tyreek Hill, you've given up, and then what do you do? You've given up on this set of players. On this experiment, yeah, and then what are you doing? you know, if they trade Tyreek great.. I felt good for this guy. I'm listening to the music still in my head by the way. Okay, good. I'm not saying he played great. I just felt good for him because
Starting point is 00:27:09 he's been through so much. Bryce Young, today, you're a winner. I'm with you. Yeah, I'm with you. I'm waiting for Bryce. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Nice to see. Now, he has as many wins as Andy Dalton. I mean, also a game by the way, the
Starting point is 00:27:24 Panthers come draft time. They circle on their calendar and say why the **** did we lose this game? Or win this game, excuse me. When you're picking fourth all of a sudden you're like, damn. Damn you Bryce Young. Why are the Saints picking in front of us? We feel good for Bryce though. By the way, Derek Carr before the game said I'm not a savior. No ****.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Dude. Derek Carr might be an executioner. We knew that. the Derek might be an ex. We knew that he might be an executioner with the position that he put Chris Olavi in Michael Thomas thinks he is or Chris Olavi. Oh my gosh. That was we've talked so much about the two a
Starting point is 00:27:56 situation. Chris Olavi has had I think five concussions five since 2020 like it's crazy. It's really not good. That was scary yesterday. Yeah. And he was just in no man's land. Uh by the not good. That was scary yesterday. Yeah. And he was just in no man's land. Uh by the way, when Tua took off running, uh it's
Starting point is 00:28:10 one of the greatest. The worst the worst decision I've ever seen. No, no, no. I have to tell you something. But one of the great calls in the history of broadcasting when Kevin Harlan, I think he said, oh no. And that that's putting it
Starting point is 00:28:24 lightly. Like the goodwill that Tua bought himself last week when he slid feet first when he did it this week. You're like, okay, he's learned nothing like we're just going to keep doing this right. Yeah. Well, I I'm at a loss for words on that situation and the decision to go running and dive head first again. Help me navigate this Billy because I have top five NFL teams that have a good record yet. I have no idea if they because I have top five NFL teams that have a good record
Starting point is 00:28:47 yet I have no idea if they're good. Lucy's coming up and you have the BBBs. Should I save this for the last segment? No, no, no. Let's do a top five now. Alright, you want the top five right now? Yeah, I can't wait. I, I, yeah, I can't wait.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Alright, these are the top five teams that despite having a good record, I have no idea if they're any good. Okay. Okay. But also like CJ I guess isn't they're injured but I know I pretty good. I don't know if two. Yeah. Uh number three at the game. They can't lead on the Bucks anyways even if they tie them. Right. If the Bucks win tonight, they have a one game lead. If they lose, right.
Starting point is 00:30:27 But they play, they've lost. Right, correct. Yeah. Yes. Number two here. Oh. They won last night. They are sitting at six and two. The Minnesota Vikings. No idea. Justin Jefferson, good. Yeah. The rest of the team. No idea.
Starting point is 00:30:45 Justin Jefferson. He's really good. Amazing. Uh and number one and maybe perhaps we'll find out a little bit more about this team tonight. Oh boy. But it's seven and oh the Kansas City Chiefs. Lucy next.
Starting point is 00:31:20 We say it every week. We do not forget about college football here on God bless football and it was another weekend. What's the matter Billy? Well, some could argue that we do so we bring in to cover for us, right? Still counts but at least we bring on
Starting point is 00:31:36 Lucy. Yeah, I mean. So, uh Lucy was at Penn State Happy Valley, which is it's an odd name for such a miserable place but anyway, oh, it just is happy Valley is unhappy. I mean, I have been there several times. Okay. No one's happy. I mean, it's in
Starting point is 00:31:52 the middle of nowhere. It's freezing there. There's nothing to do but anyway, Lucy, how was the experience at Happy Valley? It was happy until the game. It is very difficult to get to. It's like the most difficult place Place like that would ever been just because you're not able to really you can fly in but it's gonna cost you your entire Like savings to go into State College What was weird is the weather was really nice, but also like really weird
Starting point is 00:32:17 So we had to get for get there really early for tailgates at like seven in the morning And it was like 30 degrees and I was freezing and about game time I had to go into the bathroom and take off my extra pair of, and it was like 30 degrees and I was freezing. And then by game time I had to go into the bathroom and take off my extra pair of pants because it was too hot. Oh wow. That happened to me, what did you do with them? Because that happened to me one time I was in Chicago
Starting point is 00:32:34 and it was the end of the year. It happens, yes. And Chicago is like, I didn't know how brutally cold it was. So I was wearing layers, and then we went to one of the art museums, and I'm inside and the heaters are on and I'm sweating. I have like a flannel shirt on.
Starting point is 00:32:47 I have two layers of pants. And then I'm just like walking around with a pair of pants in my hand through this museum. Right. I mean, Lucy, go ahead and expand on that because I've been dealing with that my entire life until I moved down here. That was a Northeast thing. And yeah, like you're wearing a lot of layers and then you get inside and you don't know what to do with the layers.
Starting point is 00:33:04 I tend to overdo it for these games This is not the first time this has happened to me. This is like the third or fourth time This has happened and it was freezing in the morning in the morning. I was like, oh my god I didn't do a good enough job. Like I'm gonna go buy a sweatshirt I just went to the the bathroom and it was embarrassing because like there wasn't like a separate media bathroom So like I knew that everyone who like walked past could see me taking off my pants in the stall. They probably thought I pooped my pants or something, which half the Penn State fans probably did at that game.
Starting point is 00:33:32 But so I took my pants off and then I had to go put them back in the media room and just hide them in the corner because I was like, I want these pants. They're thermal tights. They're really helpful. But it was embarrassing because I walked in and immediately saw another media member
Starting point is 00:33:46 and had to think, oh yeah, these are my pants. Was it a dirty bathroom? Because when I've had to change in public restrooms, men are filthy. There's mystery liquids on the floor of every stall, every urinal, everything. There's mystery liquids. And it's not a mystery.
Starting point is 00:34:00 I can guess what it is, right? So when I'm changing, I'm doing the game where my shoes are off, but I'm standing on my shoes in my socks and I'm trying to kind of like move around and get it without my foot ever touching the floor. And then I'm like hanging things by like the belt loop on the little hook behind the door. It's a whole thing.
Starting point is 00:34:17 Right. Like it's a whole thing. You don't want anything to hit the floor. I understand. Nothing can touch the floor except the bottom of my shoes. Right. Is it the same game for you? No.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Oh. Normally women's bathrooms are nicer, but it doesn't apply at a college football stadium. Everybody's drunk, everything's disgusting. All right. So hold on a second, FIU plays Penn State next year at Beaver Stadium. Should I make the trip up?
Starting point is 00:34:39 No. Really? Oh. Unless you wanna see it, you know? I kinda do. It's really cool. It's a great atmosphere. It's really a great atmosphere. The stadium is awesome. It's so beautiful. You just have to be willing to like make a very long trek and journey. Yeah, Billy, it's two flights. It's a long drive. It's not easy. I might do, I mean like since like my school, I'm used to playing in like Conference
Starting point is 00:35:03 USA stadium. So like I like the opportunity, even if used to playing in like Conference USA Stadium. So like I like the opportunity even if I I this will be fun for you. It might be a blowout. Yeah, I like kind of seeing the experience like I went to the swamp to see FIU just get destroyed by Tevo. But you were at the swamp. Yeah, no, it was cool. I like the swamp. I don't know where Lucy ranks the swamp on her rankings of stadiums. For me, it's a really cool experience to swamp but also like again, I go to Conference USA Stadium. So Lucy,
Starting point is 00:35:25 do you have a stadium ranking? Do you have that? I could probably come up with it right now. Okay. Well, would the swamp, is it fair to say the swamp would be in your top five or top ten? Because I love that. Just the stadium Lucy, not the tailgating, just the stadium itself come game time. Yeah, I actually think it would. I like the way the stadium is set up and it's very old and it's very like creaky, but I like that in a stadium.
Starting point is 00:35:52 Beaver Stadium is pretty similar where they're both pretty old, but there's so much history with it and it's set up in a great way that traps all the sound and the whole environment is just, it's very swampy and they capture that, which is why they call it swamp who would have thought Yeah, I would put it in my my top five maybe towards the lower end But yeah, it's a great stadium and I loved my time there. It's the best in Florida by far. Oh, yeah
Starting point is 00:36:18 I'm surprised just because like I feel like I was wondering if it's even in your top five SEC stadiums just because I feel like I was wondering if it's even in your top five SEC stadiums. We haven't been to a lot of them, so it kind of takes some of that stuff away. Nailand is awesome, it's really cool, and it feels really, really large. What I like about the Swamp is it is very large, but it doesn't necessarily feel like that,
Starting point is 00:36:37 which is what I prefer in a stadium. Where I think the most overrated stadium in college football, and I'm so sorry, people are gonna get mad, the Big House is incredibly overrated. Yes, I agree the most overrated stadium in college football, and I'm so sorry, people are gonna get mad, the big house is incredibly overrated. Yes, I agree with you. It's huge. It's huge and you can't trap the sound
Starting point is 00:36:49 so it doesn't feel as loud. We're like- Does it not have character? It doesn't really, it's like fine. Like there is some character there cause there's a lot of history and it's Michigan, it's the big house and like you have the whole like, it's the largest stadium in the country. Like there's all these sort of things that go with it, but it's just kind of quiet,
Starting point is 00:37:07 which I'm not blaming on Michigan fans. I'm just blaming on the architecture of the stadium. No, she nailed it. There's a hundred thousand people there and it's, it's silent. It does not, it doesn't hold sound. It's weird. And so I'll let you on that. Yeah. I've been there and I didn't like it. I was overrated. Like Beaver stadium is slightly smaller and it's just a complete world of difference. It's incredibly loud at Penn State and it's a lot taller. So, the sound gets trapped where Michigan just goes so far out that it doesn't
Starting point is 00:37:34 feel nearly as big as it is. We'll get to Lucy or Goosey in just a second here but tomorrow is a big day in this country. It is the committee, the selection committee announcing the twelve team playoff their rankings. So Lucy, I am wondering what are you expecting from this committee here? Are you
Starting point is 00:37:54 expecting them to kind of really delve into teams, their schedules, their records, injuries, all that or they're just going to look at no loss, one loss, two loss and do it that way. I think they're not going to look at either of they're just going to look at no loss, one loss, two loss and do it that way. Uh I think they're not
Starting point is 00:38:07 going to look at either of those things. I think they're going to look at the logo of the teams that they decided. Great. Well, let's let's get with that. Yeah. I think Alabama's going to be a lot higher than they should be. I think Indiana's probably
Starting point is 00:38:18 going to be slightly lower than they should be. I don't ever expect them to do things the right way because every single time we hear from whatever athletic director is in charge of the college football playoff it's always about quality losses to the point where I feel like the playoff committee in the past has rewarded quality losses more than quality wins which is very very weird I'm I'm curious to see how things change because you have such a larger pool this
Starting point is 00:38:45 year with 12 teams entering the playoff that one through 12, they might be like, ah, whatever you make it anyways, who cares? I'm curious specifically with the big 12 and the ACC because those conferences are not looking very strong right now. Clemson lost this weekend, Iowa state lost this weekend, Pitt lost this weekend. Uh, there's a lot of Kansas state lost this weekend. There's a lot of Kansas state loss this weekend. There's a lot of sort of moving parts with those two conferences.
Starting point is 00:39:08 And I think the big question going into sort of the playoff rankings and eventually the playoff decision is how many teams from the Big 12 and the ACC make it? Because I think it could be as low as one per conference. Wow, I love a playoff just based on logos though. That's what they're doing. That's what they're doing. That is what they're doing. You could say, you could be like,
Starting point is 00:39:30 you'll be in the meeting and you'll be like, you know what? FSU would be in, I mean. Oh yeah, FSU would be in. They'd be like, look, it's really impressive to lose eight games. Just on logos. It's hard to do when you're that big a school
Starting point is 00:39:41 to lose eight games. Yeah, it's really, look, we have to recognize extraordinary performance in whatever way it comes. I was going to ask if you're expecting any surprises, but it seemed like you're expecting only surprises. Yeah, like, it's, I think Oregon will be number one. I think that's pretty clear. Probably Georgia too, even though Georgia didn't look particularly good this weekend. Carson Beck has not looked good lately. even though Georgia didn't look particularly good this weekend, Carson Beck has not looked good lately. I don't really expect them to do like a bang-up job, especially the first time around. They're just going to have so many opportunities to fix what they do. The only thing is that when you do these rankings, you're setting a precedent.
Starting point is 00:40:17 So like you've already decided when these rankings come out that this team is better than this team. And so things are just gonna get, I just don't trust them at all. I don't think they watch the games. I don't trust them even a little bit. I'm totally with you. They're more interested in giving us stuff to talk about than they are actually getting it right.
Starting point is 00:40:35 Until they have to get it right, yes. I hate to go like conspiracy theory on this, but like it feels, everything always feels so like TV, ratings and whatnot. So like as good as Indiana is, I don't necessarily know if they're gonna reward them with how good they are. If like, if they were Michigan,
Starting point is 00:40:54 I think they'd be much higher in the rankings than whatever they're going to be, but I hope I'm wrong. I really do. I hope they prove me wrong. Are you ready for some Lucy or Goosey here? Yes, always. Okay, Clemson with a loss to Louisville over the weekend. They are now a six and two, five and one inside the ACC. Is
Starting point is 00:41:12 Clemson with that loss out of the playoff? Lucy or Goosey? I'm gonna go 90% Lucy. I think they don't really control their destiny right now. SMU in Miami control their destiny in the ACC. If something happens and then Clemson is able to make the ACC championship game and win, then obviously they're gonna be in the playoff. But I think what's important about this like little game
Starting point is 00:41:34 is that Clemson didn't like, oh, it wasn't a close loss by any means. The final score was closer than this game was. Clemson got blown out. Their fans left at the third quarter. Like it was not a close game. It's gonna be one of the worst home losses for Clemson in blown out. Their fans left at the third quarter. Like it was not a close game. It's going to be one of the worst home losses for Clemson in a long, long time.
Starting point is 00:41:49 I think that Clemson doesn't have as good of a win as they need to get into the playoff. And I think that kind of, as we mentioned earlier, I think the committee is going to lean towards Big Ten and SEC. And I think Clemson might get left out. Lucy Yerguisi, Penn State and Ohio State should have been played at night. Oh, Lucy, a thousand percent.
Starting point is 00:42:10 I think the game would have played out exactly the same no matter what, because it plays out exactly the same every single year. But you could tell that that atmosphere, it was amazing. I don't want to discredit it at all, but it suffered not being a night game, you know? This is the biggest game in Penn State's, you years, and you had to be there at 7 in the morning.
Starting point is 00:42:30 Like, it took a lot of the life out of what should have been an incredibly great game. It should have been a whiteout game. It should have been at night. It was really funny, and you'll actually see in the off-roading video, a lot of people did, they all wore shirts that said Big Noon sucks and they boycotted Big Noon and people were not going to that show. Like it was a huge deal there. They are not happy.
Starting point is 00:42:52 So I was gonna ask you, because you travel so much and you're basically doing games every Saturday, I don't, I would imagine it's not possible for you to consume, you know, a lot of college game day or Big Noon kickoff or whatever, right? I thought it was actually a big win for big noon kickoff just because McAfee and like, they were straight up like referencing big noon kickoff
Starting point is 00:43:14 and he's like, oh, they hate big noon kickoffs here and this should be a night game, blah, blah, blah. And the crowd was chanting F big noon, like behind them at college game day. So that's a win, right? It was a win for them in the sense. They're talking about you. Look, basically, yeah, like,
Starting point is 00:43:28 because I still like college game day over Big Noon kickoff personally. Like, it's just kind of like the established show, it's been fun again, Nick Saban was walking around dressed as a Nittany Lion. That one's a hard one for me. Nittany Lion. Yeah, that one's a hard one.
Starting point is 00:43:42 Nittany. Yeah, I've always struggled on that one. That's all right. For whatever reason. But he's there dressed up, hard one. Nittany. Yeah, I've always struggled on that one. That's all right. For whatever reason. But he's there dressed up, Lee Corso's there. So like, I always kind of go to them and I don't really acknowledge Big Noon Kickoff very much. Like, the most I've acknowledged Big Noon Kickoff this year
Starting point is 00:43:56 I think was watching Machine Gun Kelly's performance from Big Noon Kickoff, like the first or second week on YouTube a couple times. And I'm like, that was a pretty cool performance. But like, I haven't really gone back. But for college game day to be like acknowledging them and being like, oh, we hate Big Noon, F Big Noon, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:44:11 It seemed like the fans all agreed with that sentiment and they were booing them. But the fact that they acknowledged them for me was like, wow, that's good for them. Yeah. I think something that like, I don't know if they touched on it at the broadcast, those setups were really close to each other.
Starting point is 00:44:25 Were they? Like, yeah. So I am assuming that the setup at Big Noon heard those chants. Like they were not far at all. Yeah, Big Noon is like, they're starting to sort of kind of create their own lane. And you've seen how College Game Day has started to shift what they're doing to make it a little more fan friendly to compete with Big Noon. But when we walked past both of the setups that morning,
Starting point is 00:44:49 there were a lot of people protesting, a lot of people with signs and t-shirts and whatnot. But I noticed that Big Noon had a lot of people outside like basically being like, hey, we have a raffle. You can win $5,000 if you come to Big Noon. Please come to Big Noon. Please come to Big Noon. They were begging people to go into that pregame show,
Starting point is 00:45:06 but they were right next to College Game Day, so they could see all the people leaving to go to Game Day, which we went there really early. It was still hours before the show started, but the Game Day crowd was 30 times as large as Big Noon. This is a sad day for Big Noon kickoff. They're paying fans to go in. That's a terrible job.
Starting point is 00:45:23 It was really sad. By the way, big winner, whoever is making Travis Hunter's decisions in terms of appearances because they were off this week and he was on both College Game Day and Big Noon kickoff. He was just at the game doing interviews. That's how you do it. Yep. Yep. In this day and age. Lucy Urguzi, despite James Franklin doing what James Franklin does
Starting point is 00:45:46 unfortunately Penn State will still make the playoff Lucy yeah. So Lucy I know I hate Lucy on this. I know I saw the ESPN graphics a little playoff simulator and it was like with a loss Penn State still has a seventy-seven percent chance
Starting point is 00:46:02 taking the playoff. That was my fear Lucy. I told you the beginning of the year, but I have turned on the 12-team playoff. I do like it, but all it's doing is rewarding guys like James Franklin. Well, when James Franklin loses another big game, it'll be a little bit funny. So, at least we'll have that. But yeah, there's no Penn State doesn't really have any crazy game left on their schedule that I think could really trip them up, but also nothing that could really solidify them as just like a really great team. Something that was really interesting at the game was when we left, the crowd was, as you would expect, furious. They are not happy with James Franklin.
Starting point is 00:46:37 They were throwing trash on the field. They were booing him. As he walked through the tunnel, the fans were chanting, fire James Franklin. They are not happy campers. So even if he makes the playoff, he does have kind of a crazy contract. So I don't assume they're going to fire him,
Starting point is 00:46:51 but that seat is toasty and fiery. And if they lose in the first round of the playoff in a close game, which seems inevitable at this point, James Franklin is going to, he's going to be in a tough spot. All right, Lucy or Goosey, LSU Alabama this weekend is a de facto playoff game. Lucy, I think so. Things are a little weird in the SEC right now. Actually incredibly super duper weird, which is awesome. That's never really happened in the recent memory where the SEC has been this competitive. Alabama already has two losses and we will see a three loss team make the playoff.
Starting point is 00:47:27 Like that just is going to happen. LSU also two losses, one really bad one, one to Texas A&M who got destroyed last week. The winner of this game will most likely make the playoff barring something crazy happening. But this is, yeah, this is a playoff elimination game. Both of these teams really need to win. I don't know what's going to happen. I don't know. elimination game. Both of these teams really need to win. I don't know what's gonna happen. I don't know, I don't know if these teams are good.
Starting point is 00:47:48 I know it's week nine, week 10, I probably should know. No clue. They don't know either. I think this is our third game in Alabama's schedule that we have labeled on this show, a de facto playoff game, and I think they're one and one. And we've been right every time. Yeah. We have.
Starting point is 00:48:03 All right, last one for you, Lucy. We'll get you out of here. Lucy or Goosey, this weekend is a must-win game for Lane Kiffit. Who are they playing this week in Georgia? They play Georgia. Yeah. No. Just in terms of playoffs, I mean, just in terms of the playoffs. I'm sorry. I think they're already out of the playoff. Really? Yeah, with a loss to LSU is not a bad loss, but a loss to Kentucky is a terrible loss.
Starting point is 00:48:29 That's a really, really bad loss. Kentucky's only SEC win of the season so far. I just think that they don't really have enough sort of kind of like backing behind them. Ole Miss isn't necessarily a brand name. I don't necessarily see an Ole Miss team making the playoff over a two have Ole Miss isn't necessarily a brand name. I don't necessarily see an Ole Miss team making the playoff over a two loss Ole Miss team is not gonna make the playoff over a two loss Alabama
Starting point is 00:48:51 or a two loss LSU. If they win this game, then that might happen. I don't foresee that happening, but I also think it's important to note that like Georgia had DJ Lague not gotten hurt could have very easily lost that game to Florida. And they were not playing well. Carson Beck has thrown a million interceptions
Starting point is 00:49:12 over the last few games. Their offense does not look the way they have. So this is a vulnerable Georgia team more than the last few years, but I just don't foresee a way that Lane is gonna win that game. He tends to lose those games. All right, where are we sending you over the weekend?
Starting point is 00:49:29 Death Valley, is that where we're going? LSU, Alabama, yeah. For my first time in that news, I'm so excited. This is like number one on my college football bucket list is in the game of Death Valley, so I'm so, so pumped. And we really did have a great time in State College. It's a wonderful place. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:49:47 Just so difficult to get to. I apologize to all the great people who work at Penn State University and who live in that area. It's a lovely place. You deserve better than James Franklin, guys. Just remember that. You deserve more.
Starting point is 00:49:59 Right. It's James Franklin. That's why I get so agitated with the entire area. It's just when I go to Penn State, when I drive into Happy Valley, the only thing I see I'm James Franklin. Lucy, we love you. We'll talk to you next week. Enjoy Death Valley. Love you guys. Iowa scored forty-three points again. the the the the
Starting point is 00:50:56 the the the the Bay Buccaneers and it is time like we do every week Billy. Final segment, the BBB Billy's big board. Betty is on fire this year. Yes. Yeah. Uh by the way, before we get to
Starting point is 00:51:15 that, I just want to update you real quick on our fantasy contest. Whatever. DKNG.co slash Smirnoff. They have one for me. Not a good week. Fuentes had a good week. He finished in the hundreds. He dropped a little bit. I think he was in the money for a lot of the day. I regressed slightly, I announced online
Starting point is 00:51:27 that I was gonna win this week. You did. And I finished in the 400s. I was in the 500s. Yeah, but guess what? There's always next week. Of course. I'm gonna be back better than ever.
Starting point is 00:51:38 We know you. Mike and Mike used to be. Okay. Yeah. Anyways, here's my first Billy's Big Board bet brought to you by Pick if you'd like it. Buccaneers at Chiefs. Chiefs minus nine.
Starting point is 00:51:48 I don't know if the Chiefs are gonna win this game by nine. That seems like a lot of points for the Chiefs. Minus nine is number one? No, number one is over 45 and a half points. Wow. That's what he does, Fuentes. I mean, you think he's going to get lost. A little lost, Brad.
Starting point is 00:52:04 A lot of points. You think he's about to take the bucks, he takes the over. I wanted to take one of the two teams. It's a lot of points. Also, I looked up the weather. It's a rainy day, so I'm going to give you the over 45.5 points because these two teams, they put up points. I don't know who's going to win. I don't know what the margin of victory is going to be, but I feel like 46 points is possible, so they just got to get over 45.5 points. All right. I don't know if the
Starting point is 00:52:24 Chiefs put up points. They play defense well, but I understand what they do. They put up points. They do, right? Yeah, trust me. They put up points. I looked up all the game log. They put up points. They put up points, yes. Combined 46 seems very doable. With Baker Mayfield and that offense, I agree. He ran it through the allegory. Yes. Baker will throw for three touchdowns and he'll throw three touchdowns for the other team.
Starting point is 00:52:43 Okay. So I'm with you. Yes. So here is my next one and this one I was on the fence about. Okay. I was trying to basically find Baker over half an interception but I couldn't find it listed because this seems like an interception all over because again, I looked up the weather. It looks like it's going to rain. I'm going to go Baker over one and a half touchdowns. I like it. Yes. Love it. He's had three or four touchdowns. It feels like every game this season. He's on a I'm going to go Baker over one K. Dot and overs. Oh, maybe that's a preview for the final Billy Bigboard bet.
Starting point is 00:53:27 I mean, maybe there's a K. Dot and Bettensohn. Why was he talking about the Chiefs not winning by nine points? My last one, K. Dot and over four and a half receptions. Yes! This is now Baker's guy. Over four and a half. Easy money on this one. I was flirting with the over and yards for Baker too, but I don't know if he's going to get the over.
Starting point is 00:53:48 Take the over and the touchdown. So you're not taking the bucks plus nine? No, stay away from it. God bless football. God bless football.
