God bless football, Mikey, eh?
God bless football, Fuentes.
God bless football, guys.
It was a big weekend in both college and the NFL,
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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?
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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%.
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.
That's fair. Wow. That is fair.
It's crazy. God bless football.

you need to have a night first. Make good on some bets, then pour some smoothness in your glass with Larseny Weeded Bourbon.

Well DraftKings does.
Thank you DraftKings.
I've had people reach out to me and say,
I'll give you $50 if I can sponsor your segment.
And I was like, I don't know if it works like that.
So I haven't taken anyone up on that.
Direct payment.
But if we don't get a sponsorship soon,
I'll tell you right now.
It's only been two years.
Billy's Restaurant in Buffalo, New York

Oh wow.
Yeah. Wow. I'm just letting you guys know. years. Billy's restaurant in Buffalo, New York is going to be a presenting sponsor. Oh,
wow. Yeah. Wow. I'm just I'm
just letting you guys know.
You once said that uh Josh Allen
has a stupid looking face. How
did you feel losing to that
stupid looking face again
yesterday? We moved past that.
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.
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.
Next time I see him.
Yeah.
I will.
Let him know.
All right.
Winners and losers.
Give him actually go in for like a handshake and then like a hug.
Oh, you think you'll get the hug this year
if we see him at the Super Bowl?
Who, me?
Yeah.
Well, I mean.
That's big for the show.
He hopes he's playing in the Super Bowl.
Yeah, he won't be.
Not likely.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Please drink responsibly.
I have...
two losers this week.
Two losers?
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
Not one but two.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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 ****.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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,
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.
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
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,
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.

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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Take the over and the touchdown.
So you're not taking the bucks plus nine?
No, stay away from it.
