God bless football, Mikey, eh? God bless football, Fuentes. God bless football, Sagats. Yes, we are back. Chiefs Kingdom for life. I mean, we loved it out there in Kansas City. The Chiefs, best team in the NFL,

but we had a full slate of games yesterday. Dolphins get a win. Jets play tonight against San Francisco. Lucy's going to join us here to wrap up the college football weekend in just a few minutes. But Billy, yes, the NFL is back. It is

back. It is. I thought it was back on Thursday when we were in Kansas City. I mean, arguably, it was back Thursday when we were in Kansas City, but yesterday, yesterday, it was back. Yeah, I need a full slate of one o'clock games followed by, you know, some four o'clock games and eight o'clock game, which was a great game. Oh, if you had the Rams in that game, you're not happy this morning. No. I'm one of those people.

Are you? Yes, I am. Once it started, so I did the thing where I feel like, and everyone should, and I don't think anyone should get mad at this, but I do the thing where I cancel the sports package, the red zone, whatever, as soon as the last week of the season is done, regular season, because I don't need to pay

for the red zone, they'll charge you every month, whether it airs or not, they'll charge you. So I don't need to pay an extra $10 a month for six months. Yesterday morning, got up on my to-do list, reordered the Red Zone. Oh, it was incredible, incredible. I sat down, one o'clock game started, I knew we were back, I knew we were back.

Did you watch the countdown clock? Did you get, were you there that early to watch the countdown clock? Because I love the countdown clock. I was get, were you there that early to watch the countdown clock? Because I love the countdown clock. I was hoping, because it was opening week, that the countdown clock would be an extended countdown clock, so I checked in like four hours early. And it was just like the ordering information,

I'm like, oh, I don't like that. Right. Yeah. But no, I was there, oh. It's great to see Scott Hanson. Very different Scott Hanson, red zone Scott Hansen, from Olympic Scott Hansen. I know we're trying to say it's the same Scott Hansen, same guy, whatever, no.

Is he more excited for the NFL than he is the Olympics? Well, I don't care. Or he just knows the NFL better than he does the Olympics? Respectfully, I don't care who wins the triple jump. So there's nothing Scott Hansen can do to get me excited about the Olympics. Right. I'll watch the Olympics, but Scott Hanson, he's a football man.

Right. He's a football man. You know who else is a football man? Who? Dak Prescott. He is. Oh, he got paid. That was well done by you.

Very rich man, too. He got paid $60 million a year. $231 guaranteed. I mean, is he not worth it? He is, but this is the thing that I don't understand. In today's economy, what I mean, is he not worth it? Dak Pres, but this is the thing that I don't understand. In today's economy, what I mean, is he not worth it, Dak Prescott? That's what quarterbacks are getting paid.

No, is the answer, obviously. Okay. Like $60 million a year. The guaranteed is as much as Deshaun Watson's getting, and he's much better than Deshaun Watson. What is Mahomes making this year? Mahomes underpaid. Oh, God.

Crazy. Crazy bargain, Patrick Mahomes. But that's the thing about this, right? With Dak, and we were there with Tua and it's really every quarterback, right? If you think this is gonna be your guy, sign them today because the money is gonna be crazy after, right?

If they would have signed Dak three months ago, they probably could have got him for like 53 a year. And now they're paying him 60 a year because they waited until opening day for some reason. So that's kind of the argument with Jamar Chase who did play yesterday for the Bengals. If you wait a year in your Cincinnati, that price is only going up.

It's not going the other way. It's working against you by not signing him now. The only way it goes the other way is if he gets hurt. Correct. And you're not rooting for him to get hurt to not pay him. No, you need him. Yeah. Cincinnati's frustrating. No, Cincinnati's frustrating. They finally have the pieces in place. They have the quarterback and they will. I guess you're right. Yeah, we'll see. Listen, Billy said before the season started, Barrow needs to show me something. He showed you precious little yesterday.

Yesterday was not a good day. Yeah, I know but the team is in shambles. I mean T Higgins isn't happy. Jamar Chase isn't happy. You have the pieces in place and the only guy I think in the history of the Cincinnati Bengals that they have given that that big contract to before they needed to give the big contract to is Joe Burrow. And if you're Jamar Chase, you're sitting there going, well, hey, if you're going to do it for him, do it for me.

And the Bengals refused to do it. T Higgins. Get out of here with T Higgins. Oh, deaf taxes and T Higgins leg injury. Oh, wow. Yeah. How are we doing? Injury shaming?

No, that guy's always out. By the way, my home's 45 million. So Dak's gonna make 15 million more. Yeah. My home's underpaid, I'm telling you. I mean, Dak was great yesterday. Patriots back? No, they're not.

We don't even need to waste time with that. We just move on. I hate you, Billy. Patriots are on my list of games. We can move on. I will say this. Don't need to discuss that one. Caleb Williams going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do

it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do

it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do

it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. Iicks? I know. And now we don't need to do it because you just did it. That's the same game we played last year. No, that was- It's on here too, we have an update. No it is not. Young Stroud Richardson update.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. All right, we'll back to it. Williams, Daniels, Nick's Daniels. Yeah. Leader in the clubhouse. Daniels. I think may just by not playing, he didn't hurt himself. After what, what the Falcons did, it might be Michael

Pennings. Oh, do we throw him in there? Yeah, we should throw a Pettix in there, Billy. You didn't think that Jayden Daniels had a good game? No, I thought he had a good game. He's my fantasy quarterback. I was thrilled. Is he really your starter? Yeah, he had two touchdowns.

He had two rushing touchdowns. He got lucky. He had three fumbles. He didn't lose any of them. In my league format, he had 28 points. He was fun. He's going to be the guy that wins people a lot of fantasy leagues. They might not win a game, but he'll win a lot of fantasy leagues. You must have waited to take a quarterback. I wouldn't have taken him early. I did. Well, I have Caleb Williams as well.

Oh, boy. Oh. Oh. Yeah. Well, what are you doing? What do you mean? You're two quarterbacks or rookie quarterbacks? So, the way I the way I approach the quarterback position. How many slots do you have? For quarterbacks or just in

general? Yeah. There's some two quarterbacks. I can take three quarterbacks if I want. No, but how many starters do you have? I have one starter. I have one starting quarterback. Oh boy. And you have two rookie quarterbacks?

Do you have a third quarterback? I do have a third quarterback. Who? Stafford. Stafford. Who did you play? Jayden. You just needed a veteran in the room?

Just in case, yes. Just in case. Just all reliable, you know? 280 and a couple of tutties, you know? Billy, is that a skill to fumble three times and not lose any? Is that a skill? You think they practice that? I mean, Josh isn't good at it.

We all know that. Josh Allen's not good at that. He looked good yesterday, man. Don't get me started on Josh Allen. I will. I praise the Josh, by the way. Yesterday, there was a play where he was calling for a flag before he was literally on the ground.

He's pointing at the referee while he's getting sacked. And there was no foul. The guy grabbed him here, not on his face mask, but he's calling for the flag. Next play, he runs somebody over. Listen. Like you're either soft or you're not, okay? You can't try and be bold. No, listen, listen, guys, okay?

What he's saying, Billy, is you can't be soft and hard. Yeah, no, I understand that, but here's the thing, right? Yes. For this season, and I am by no means a Josh Allen defender, for this season, let him have it, please. Just let him have it. The Bills did nothing for that guy. Absolutely nothing for him. Let him complain. The refs did, right. Just let him have it. The Bills did nothing for that guy. Absolutely nothing for him.

Let him complain. Just let him complain. I'm keeping score of the Josh Allen, Stephon Diggs thing, by the way. Yeah, well, who's winning right now? Push. I mean, Diggs had two touchdowns. Josh Allen is the MVP.

I mean, I would say that's fair because he had two touchdowns, but he had like 30 yards. I know. It was like a very inefficient, like six receptions, 36 yards or something I mean, that's fair because he had two touchdowns but he had like 30 yards. I know it's like a like a very inefficient like six receptions, 36 yards or something for two touchdowns

with two. I will tell you I watched that game. I guess it's efficient in that sense. It's 36 yards and two touchdowns. I watched Texans Colts with great envy. I want one of those quarterbacks. I mean, Anthony Richardson, I think he started 16 games in his

football career. Yeah, he didn't learn football career. Anthony Richardson did not learn his lesson. What the running? Yes, he did not learn who tried to teach him that lesson last year. I forgot. Lawrence. By the way, Anthony

Richardson, take it from Trevor Lawrence who may not be very good and just got paid 50 million dollars. Just stay healthy. We'll get to Lucy here in a second. What I loved is everyone, everyone was so vocal about Tua and his contract. Who did he beat yesterday? Trevor Lawrence. No one said a word about his contract.

Not a single word about Trevor Lawrence's contract. And Tua goes out there in the second half, Tua had a good game. He played well. He had a sneaky good game. It looked ugly for a long time, but then the stats ended up being there at the end. Right, but I mean, let the game pass him.

In fact, Tyree Kill. Yeah, well he's good. Tyree Kill had a rough day. And then a great day. He had a rough day, it started off rough, it turned out to be. It's not a good day when you get detained by the police. No.

And then somehow, outside of your place of employment, by the way. Yeah. It's a rare situation where you get detained by police outside of your place of employment, then a teammate of yours goes to help you out, is also detained by police. Right. Kaleus Campbell.

Amazing. Two players get handcuffed yesterday. Yeah. I don't think either one was technically arrested. Right. Then you just go to work, and you're able to fulfill your duties. Yeah.

And Tyreek had a good game. I mean, he had a good game. I think yesterday what we were seeing from a lot of quarterbacks, Tua was one of them. Caleb was one of them. A lot of nervous energy where we were overthrowing people by a lot. What I liked about Tua is he's more mobile than he was a of them. A lot of nervous energy where we were overthrowing people by a lot. What I liked about Tua is he's more mobile than he was a year ago. I don't like that.

That was obvious. He's lighter. Billy, I'm serious. That was a good day for Tua. Yeah. It was a good weekend for Tua. I don't want that though. Jordan loves the other guy who got paid in the off season and now he's out four to five weeks. So I mean, and everyone questioned Tua and his ability to play 17 games. Yeah, but if he starts running out, that's a legitimate question because he's lighter and he's not a big guy.

I know, but I don't want him running around. He had an 11 yard scramble yesterday. I've never seen to do that. And it looked good. That was one he had one rush. He didn't stumble into it. He was actually running. Yeah, but he also did that thing where like he dropped back into avoid a sack decided to like, let me scramble and then slide at the line of scrimmage. He's like sliding feet first into linemen. He's going to get

trampled. Yeah. Billy, you know what we do here on God bless football. What? We do not ignore what happened on Saturday because the NFL tends to eat up Saturdays. We don't ignore Saturdays. College football is a big deal. We discuss it with the best in the business, Lucy or Goosey. Next. The year was 2004, and the crew was wrapping up their first episode. 20 years later, here we are.

A lot's changed over those years. One thing that hasn't, the great taste of Miller Lite. Another thing that hasn't changed is that it's less filling. So what's the best thing about the original light beer? Miller Lite sparked this debate since 1975. And we still haven't settled in. I love the great taste. I love that it's less filling. And I love that it's the best way to celebrate

wrapping up a successful show. Just like we've been doing for the past 20 years. Miller Lite keeps it simple, undebatable quality, great taste, and only 96 calories. It's the beer that strips away everything you don't need and holds on to what matters most. A light beer that tastes like beer. The original light beer since 1975.

We bring on Lucy here because we do not allow the NFL to trample college football here on God bless football and Lucy covers college football for metal arc media. And she was at Iowa and Iowa state. Everyone knows she's a big Iowa fan.

She is joining us from the woodshed this morning, her basement, uh, in her parents home, uh, Lucy, how well I know it didn't end well, but how was the overall experience of Iowa Iowa state? I feel like I'm literally in the basement and I'm metaphorically in the basement of my life with the way that game went. Uh tailgating wise, it was one of the best ones we've ever been to. I'm super super biased but it was really really fun. The game itself, yeah, that took a couple years out of my life, I

think. You seemed very happy. I'm going to be honest with you, from what I saw on social media. It looked like you were just like home. She was home. You were dancing in the streets. You seemed to have a great time. Well, so the dancing in the streets, so Texas A&M has a midnight tradition, it's midnight yell.

Iowa also has a midnight tradition, it's beer band, where members of the band will go from bar to bar and play the song, fight songs, sometimes on instruments, sometimes on like trash cans and pots and pans. And it's one of the more fun traditions in college football. So that was when everything felt great. I had joy. I should have known that Iowa was going to lose because when I flew out to Iowa, everything went wrong with my flight specifically, the pilot started singing over the internacom to everybody and I should have known then it was going to be bad.

She's right, always a bad time when the pilot starts singing. What was the song? Come on Bahama, come on pretty mama, that song. Yeah. Why were you singing Coco Mo? Well, Lucy was and the pilot was. What would possess the pilot to singing Coco Mo? Well, Lucy wasn't the pilot. What would possess the pilot to sing Coco Mo? No reason. It just started. He just started singing because I turned around because I thought the old guy behind me was singing and I was prepared to be like shut up,

but it wasn't. It was the pilot and we were landing in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. You're not allowed to sing that song in Iowa. Is there a chance he didn't know he had the intercom system on or and he was just singing in the cockpit or? No because he like transitioned it from song to like, hey guys, put your trade tables up. We're landing. Is there a place like mentally that you can think of further from Kokomo than Cedar Rapids, Iowa? Exactly.

And what was also weird is he started off the flight in a terrible mood. Like we were on the runway and he hit us with the, if your phones are not in airplane mode, I'm turning this plane around. I love this cat. I love this pilot. I love this pilot. No, no, he realized he was going to the Iowans. So he sings about a better place. That's what he does. A place he'd rather go to.

That's what he does to get through it, just to get through the day. I really like this. I didn't need that though. I didn't want that song. I was happy to be there. Okay, let me ask, you sound a little sick. Are you okay? Yeah, I'm a little sick. Let me ask you guys a question.

It's that time of season. It's you guys are sick too. He's trying to get an Afrin deal, if I'm going to be completely honest with everyone. He wanted to have it on the desk, hoping he could get a deal. Yeah, something would stuff up. I don't know. I'm trying to think of a segment like, you know, stuff it up.

Stuff it up. Unstuff it. Yeah, I don't up. I don't know. I'm trying to think of a segment like, you know, yeah, stuff it up. Stuff it up. Unstuff it. Yeah, I don't think this. I don't think after would want to sponsor stuff it up. Right. Because they don't stuff. Right. They take when you're stuffy, you shoot it in your nose. And then, you know, three seconds later, you're not stuffed anymore. But seven hours later, you're even more stuff than you were before. How about that? Right. Anyway, I'm sponsoring you now. No, you're going to be a little bit more excited but 7 hours later, you're even more stuff than you were before. How about that? Right? Anyway. They're

definitely not sponsoring you now. No, they're definitely not. You're right. Kirk Ferens is back. You excited? No. No. What do you mean? No? Oh, you asked that question. No. Lucy, can I ask because I was one of those teams that had

a chance to and still does has has a chance to make the playoff, maybe Iowa State. What did they do differently without Kirk Ferentz? They scored points. Well, okay. Explain to those who weren't watching that game, what the hell happened with the two-point conversion? If you could explain that to me, I'd appreciate it. I didn't know. We were so, Iowa had scored. Iowa controlled most of this game, like, was outplaying Iowa State pretty much across the board.

So Iowa controlled most of this game. They ended up scoring a touchdown, which if they had picked the extra point, it would have been 20 to seven. And Kirk Ferentz was like, no, I know more than the rest of you. I'm a brilliant genius. I'm so smart that I got suspended last week

for tampering with Cade McNamara. You gotta trust me on this one. So he said, we're gonna go for two. Even though for Iowa, it's usually pretty hard for us to just get there in the first place. So I don't know why you're testing your luck. So Iowa goes for two. They do not get it and Iowa loses by one point.

Amazing. But you're still in it, Lucy. I don't know about that. Well, your season would be... Listen, in years past, your season would be definitively over. That's the advantage of the 12th team playoff, I guess, is that at least if you run the table, which I know is unlikely, but if you do, you have a shot, Lucy. If you watch Cade McNamara, you know our season is over.

Our season is done. All right, are you ready for some Lucy or Goosey? Well, hold on a second, because you're disagreeing with the idea that losing, you're now out of it. Notre Dame is getting in that playoff still. Even after that loss. Oh yeah, absolutely. Notre Dame is getting into the playoff still.

Yes, I agree. How many losses though? Notre Dame's gonna get in with two. They put Jordan Illinois in the top 25. They should. You know what that's called, Lucy? Laying the groundwork. Right. Exactly.

That's laying the groundwork. Oh, they lost, but they ended up being a ranked team that year. The groundwork has been laid. Don't we want Northern Illinois to run the table? No. What do you mean? God no. Why? It would be fun.

No. It would help Notre Dame, but like how fun would it be for Northern Illinois to be like the fun little Cinderella story this year? It would be, but like, you know what I've learned over the years? I don't want any of those teams actually in the playoffs. I want to complain about them not getting in.

Once we get to the playoffs, I don't want any of those schools in the playoffs because I know what is coming. There's a guaranteed spot this year for a group of five school. There is. I don't want them. I don't want them in the playoffs. because I know what is coming. There's a guaranteed spot this year for a Group of Five school. There is. I don't want them. I don't want them in the playoffs. Okay, well who do you want?

Not them. Who do you want then? Anyone but them. Anyone in the Group of Five? Anyone but them. Really? Anyone but them. But they beat Notre Dame on the road. I don't want them. I got paid for it.

I know. I know what the Huskies did to you. Oh. What a great check. I mean. I was not going to run the table. They're playing Ohio State. I'm looking at your Huskies did to you? Oh, what a great check. I mean, I was not going to run the table. They're playing Ohio State. I'm looking at your schedule right now. This is not going to go

well. Nebraska, by the way, huh? Well, that's my first Lucy. They're having a moment. Let's start right there. Lucy or Goosey. Nebraska is back. I'm going to go goosey, but I'm not saying or Lucy Lucy, but not with my full heart. Nebraska has been a good football team for the past five years. They just couldn't win any games. Like they

were the best three win team in history a few years back because every game Nebraska lost over the last five years was in close devastating fashion. With Matt Ruhl here, they have finally figured out how to win those games. So Nebraska was going to take a huge jump this season regardless. Now you add in Dylan Raola, who thinks he's Patrick Mahomes. That's so weird. It's a little odd. That is so weird. I was going to ask you about that.

It's so weird. He's taking it to another level. Yeah. It's like that girl that kind of looks like Taylor Swift, so she got a ton of work done to look more like Taylor Swift, to profit off of it. It's a little odd, but he's a great player. Nebraska has a lot of talent. They've had talent before.

This is like, Matt Ruhl was probably the perfect hire for them in Lincoln, because he's like just genuinely a good coach, and that's what you're missing with Scott Frost, is like the basic fundamentals he could not figure out and just like winning close games. So like, this isn't shocking to anyone who's watched Nebraska football over the last few years,

but if you look at their record, it's kind of shocking. Are you guys saying- Colorado's bad though, so I don't wanna put too much into that, but I do think Nebraska's good regardless whether Colorado is bad. I'll get to that in a second. You guys saying Raola goes out of his way to-

He's like, it's not even just the look anymore. Like he had the hair, then he's doing the headband, but now like pregame, he's doing like the Patrick Mahomes like celebrations and mannerisms. Like he's taking it to another level of like borderline creepy. It reminds me of- Yeah, it's a little weird.

It reminds me of Kobe. Very single white female. It reminds me of Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan. Like Kobe had Michael's mannerisms down. Yes he did Billy. Yes he did. That's a great comparison from Stu. That's mannerisms down. Yes, he did. Billy. Yes, he did. That's a great comparison from Stu.

That's a great comparison. No, it was weird. Like he talked like Michael. I'm with you. Thank you. Yeah, but he ended up being Kobe. Yeah, but he ended up having his own identity and being Kobe, right? Well, he won five titles so

that helps create your own identity. The fact that Raul is doing it and he's not even in the NFL yet is a little bit strange. It's just like, okay, but okay, where does this end with him, right? Let's say he makes it to the NFL, right? Is he gonna continue the Patrick Mahomes cosplaying in the NFL? And then like when he plays against Patrick Mahomes,

potentially, what is that gonna look like? I don't know. It's weird. Couple of Mahomes coming up. It that gonna look like? I don't know. It's weird. Couple of Mahomes coming up. It's a little weird. He is a freshman, so he's 18. His frontal lobe not even close to fully developed. He's got 10 years of college left.

Yeah, so he'll figure it out. Even though, even so though, like when he does figure it out, he's gonna look back at this and be like, oh, so cringey. What was I doing? Oh yeah, for sure. Oh, you think? Oh yeah. Like there'll be a moment in time. 100%. Right, where he is. Especially if he's gonna look back at this and be like oh so cringy. Oh yeah for sure. Oh you think? Oh yeah. Like there'll be a moment in time. 100%. Right. Especially if he's like really good he's gonna

want to distance himself from what he's doing right now. He's got one of the grandkids he's in a rocking chair he's got a grandkid in the lab. We've gotten too far now we're way too far down the line. No. I'm talking like Sim's talking to him. Yeah that's right. Sim's talking to him. I was thinking like let's say he goes on a run and like junior year, he's like in the highest bin conversation, he's not going to still be doing this nonsense and you're like ooh, what was I doing my freshman year?

I don't think so. Okay. I don't think you learn from your freshman to your junior year. I don't think you look back like that. I think it's like, you know, once you become an adult. Some of us. I learned. Really? Some of us. Alright. Let's go to think it's like, you know, once you become an adult. I learned really. Let's go to Syracuse. Let's go to get there. Let's go to Syracuse.

Lucy. I said this was a sneaky good team of chords a good quarterback. They're off to a two and oh, so I start the Syracuse orange as an outside chance of making the college football playoff Lucy or goosey. I'm going to go Lucy, but only for a few reasons. One is because they're in the ACC, and pretty much anyone in the ACC at this point

is eligible to make the playoffs. Like truly, we don't know who's going to win that conference. Feels like Miami's the favorite, but we really don't know at this point. Now Syracuse gets Miami at home. That's the last game of the season, right? And Syracuse always seems to have that weird trap game like every other year where they're beating somebody

they shouldn't beat and it's usually Clemson. My only thing with Syracuse is they have operated their entire football team and their entire offense around Kyle McCord. So if unfortunately he gets injured or something goes wrong, then bam, it's all out the window there. But I want to caution everybody because I did this last week and we all did this last

week and we're going to do it for the next future week ones for the rest of time. We got to calm down because we said Georgia Tech is the best team in the world for beating Florida State who lost to Boston College, who's now the worst team in the world. We have no idea who's good or not yet. Like no clue. So Syracuse beating Georgia Tech could mean absolutely nothing, or it could be a great win. So it's all like, go crazy,

but let's just center ourselves. Pump the brakes. Enjoy it on Saturday. I know this as someone who said, man, Iowa's offense is gonna be pretty good this year after last week. You mentioned it very briefly. Clemson statement win over App State.

Yep. 66-20 just like that. Boom. Back in the top 25. Lucy or Goosie, are they back? I don't want to go full Lucy. I'm an App State truther, App State believer. I think App State is one of the best group of five schools.

App State is a school that I think if your athletic director schedules them, you should be fired because you should never schedule App State. They don't lose by 46 to people. No, they never do. I was shocked. Like, I thought App State was going to cover. So I think it is impressive. I was kind of worried they'd have the Georgia hangover where what has happened to TCU and Florida State where they lost to Georgia so bad

that it ruined the entire next season for them. So good for Clemson. I don't want to full on say they're back, but like once again, they are in the ACC entire next season for them. So good for Clemson. I don't want to full on say they're back, but like once again, they are in the ACC. It is wide open. You can afford a loss or two and be totally fine in that conference.

Lucy, should Marcus Freeman, he's not on the hot seat, but I'm asking you, should he be on the hot seat, Lucy or Goosey? I don't want to full say he should be on the hot seat yet. Like everyone has like kind of a goof loss. And I know he sort of already has one to Marshall. If they don't win out the rest of the year or they get another stupid loss like this,

I won't say hot seat, but I'll say like seat warmer is on. I don't want to go full. That's comfy though. Yeah, but like it's also like Notre Dame. I know they're a little more particular, but he is something that was funny about this was that Notre Dame like over the last few years since Marcus Freeman has become more likeable because he's a likeable dude, which helps his case a little bit. They recruit super well under him better than they really ever have done before. So a loss to Northern Illinois is a red flag, but I think I need to see how the

rest of the season plays out before I go hot seat and even hot seat. I'm going to go seat warmer. Wow. Here's the thing though, with the new college football rules, you can lose two, three games, certainly Notre Dame can and still make the playoff. And then it prolongs careers of people like James Franklin. A hundred percent. Like you're, which by the way weird game there uh like lots of teams flirted with being Notre Dame this weekend and Notre Dame was the only one to really like pull the

trigger on that Oregon almost Boise State yeah Oregon which that is actually not I'm more concerned with their game against Idaho than their game against Boise State Boise State is the best running back in all of college football like I'm not too worried Bo game against Idaho than their game against Boise State. Boise State is the best running back in all of college football. Like I'm not too worried. Boise State, like this finally feels like it could be their year to make it to the playoff. Just because we saw such a dominant run from Boise State, 10, 15 years back,

and it feels like they're almost back to that. They are definitely a contender for that group of five spots. So I'm not too worried about Oregon right now. I think I need to see their next game before I pull the panic button on the Ducks. I feel like I was fine with Boise State just having that moment, right?

Like at the Fiesta Bowl or whatever. That one moment in time, right? I'm fine with my memory of Boise State forever. Exactly right, the guy proposing, the trick play. The last time we saw the Statue of Liberty. The Boise State just having- Not the statue,ue of Liberty. The Boise State just having... The statue, the play. Yeah. Boise State just having that moment

would be fine in my memory forever. Like, oh, Boise State, yeah, yeah. And then I'd be happy forever. I don't want them to ruin that for me. Really? Yeah. Okay. But maybe they want more moments. No, I know they do, but it's obviously for me,

I'm fine with them just having that moment. You had your moment, keep that moment, let someone else have a moment. Just not Northern Illinois. For God's sake, not Northern Illinois. What did they do? I think you hate the group of five. I just don't want them. I think you're a group of five hater. No, I think you can't name another group of five. He only likes App State. He's an App State guy and that's it. Big loss for them. Tough. It was. DJ Lagway will save Billy Napier's job. Lucy or Goosey? It was. DJ Lagway will save Billy Napier's job. Lucy or Goosie?

Goosie. Billy Napier. He's out the door. Goodbye. Florida's schedule is so, so tough. They're like, I don't care who you have there. Get Patrick Mahomes. It's probably still over for Billy Napier. You have the toughest schedule in all of college football. Your fans hate you. The boosters hate you. You're at post-game press conferences, taking out your frustration on a water bottle. You live in Florida and you don't understand that there are basements there, which I also learned, but I'm not the head coach of Florida, so it doesn't really matter that much for me.

But like, Billy Napier has dug himself a hole that just like, is it going to, he's not gonna get out of. And because like my thing with Florida is Florida is a ridiculously talented team. They're Florida. Like you're always going to recruit well, you're always going to have good players.

Every single like loss that they've had comes down to like just terrible coaching fundamentals, like Florida lacks all of that. So I, I don't think there's any way that Florida is saved, especially against what, who they play this week, Sanford. If Sanford is your game, save it, your season saving opponent,

you're in a tough spot. They should just be grateful that Florida State seems to be doing worse than they are. I'm now going through, like, I wanna make my group of five playoff prediction, but I'm not ready to do it now. Cause like, here's one, I wouldn't be. Next week, I think next week I'll have my top five group of five teams. Nice tease. Yeah, I'll have my top five group of five teams.

Nice tease. Yeah, I'll do my own top five. Because here's the thing. I feel like James Madison is usually a solid bet and they're a lot, but they lost their coach to Indiana and they lost a lot of their players to Indiana. Still good though. They're still good, but.

They lost everybody. Yeah, they're not James Madison anymore. They're James Madison on Name Alone at the moment. Someone put that on the poll. James Madison, still James Madison. I feel like they're not James Madison anymore. They're James Madison on name alone at the moment It's still James Madison, I feel like they're still James Madison regardless of who plays there. It's always James Madison. No, no, no, no Okay, they lost a lot. Yeah, I think they played Carolina and like a week or two. So I know they lost a lot. They didn't lose the name of their school though. I mean that oh, yeah But they lost their essence, you know. Lucy, you cautioned us saying we have no idea who's good and you're right. It's too early, but I will say, I will ask you this. Lucy or Goosey, Texas has the most talented roster of any college football team. I'm going to go Goosey, not because

I don't think Texas has an unbelievably talented roster. And you're right. I do think we can pretty definitively say that Texas is very, very good. I think it's okay to say that out the gate. Georgia's probably slightly more talented. Ohio State also has a lot of talent. The word talent is kind of where I disagree with that. Texas is easily a front runner to compete for the SEC, but at the same time, this is

not the ACC. You still have to play Georgia. And Georgia is still an unbelievably great team. And we saw what Georgia did to Clemson, you know, last week. So I don't want to say that they're the most talented team in the country, but watching that Michigan game, that's a pretty decent Michigan defense that they just destroyed mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally. Texas is very, very good and they should be a front runner to be, you know, one of the top three, four seeds at the playoff. They are an unbelievably good football team.

Changing the game on you. Yes or no. Notre Dame losing. Soften the blow of Iowa losing. What? Oh, that's a good question. Why did you change the game? It's just, yes or no. It's the same game, it's still Lucy or Goosy. Lucy or Goosy. It's still Lucy or Goosy. I was trying to be efficient,

we only have like a minute left, that's all. No, cause it still hurt, still sucked really bad. Even if Notre Dame had won, I think I'd still feel pretty about it. I know, but when I'm miserable, I like others to be miserable. And some friends of yours were miserable, so that's all. Yeah, I don't want Jess to be miserable, I like others to be miserable. And some friends of yours were miserable. So that's all. Yeah, I don't want Jess to be miserable.

I want her to be happy. I feel like we shouldn't both be sad. Is Jen CFB this week going to be like a funeral? I don't know what games you're referring to or what you're even talking about. Sorry. How's life after Kimmel treating you? Oh, it's cool.

My brother thinks I'm cool now. I know. Yeah. How many times you watch that thing? I mean. Probably like thinks I'm cool now. I know. Yeah? How many times you watched that thing? I mean. Probably like 10. Not as many as I should. But I was on the flight when the pilot was singing,

just like, shoo. Oh. Watching it again. So like everyone else, it has like, you know, their moment where they make it onto like late night. You're super rich and famous now, I'm assuming, right? Your life's changed forever? Yeah, sure.

Yep, yep. This is my dad's basement that I bought with my Kimmel earnings. I like the idea of you like, you turn around and you like pull down and it just like rolls up and it's just like this fake background and you're just a giant mansion now.

Yeah. Mansion. Exactly. I gotta be honest. There's a pool, so maybe that. Maybe that's my earnings. I gotta be honest, when I saw her on Kimmel, I said, there's no way she's showing up on Monday morning to do Lucy or Goosey.

Really? I felt like we lost her, yes. By the way, if you want to praise Lucy or us or whatever, send us stuff. We can still do that segment this year. Just send stuff our way. And Lucy, here's the thing. I guess I could talk to you about this off air, but I'll tell you now.

I had a company reach out to me that specializes in backgrounds. Very exciting. In what? They wanted to change my background. Yeah, they wanted to decorate my background. That's cool. Yeah. Yeah.

Tell them to talk to me. The wood paneling's ugly. We didn't get to Colorado. We will next week. My sense is they're going to continue to keep losing. I will tell you this. They're really bad. Keep an eye on this, OK?

You heard it here first. Bill Belichick, Notre Dame. Thank you, Jay. Thank you, Lucy. And we're back. We are. We are back. Yeah. You guys, we have a brand new game. We do.

Debuting today. Really? In earnest. I mean, we debuted it when we were in Kansas City, but this is the home of this game. This is how this game is going to work moving forward. I want to say this. It was a soft launch in Kansas City, but this is the home of this game. This is how this game is going to work moving forward. I want to say that soft launching. Thank you. So exactly right.

Soft launch, but not soft enough that we didn't meet our sales obligations. Right. I just want to say this about the great people and the great people in Kansas City, the Chiefs fans, Chiefs Kingdom. They love football more than we do down here in Miami. That was obvious. It was evident. It was clear. They care about football. Granted, it's easier to care when your quarterback is Patrick Mahomes and you've won back-to-back Super Bowls. But if you take your eye off the field for a second, you will be called out in Kansas City.

Shout out to Ed and his family, by the way, our new friend Ed. Oh, we love Ed. Love the Reyes. You don't watch the game, they call you out because that's how they do out in Kansas City. Shout out to Ed and his family by the way, our new friend Ed. Oh we love Ed. Love the Reyes. You don't watch the game, they call you out because that's how they do it in the Midwest. They do it politely, but they call you out. You know what the Midwest is? What? Young and reckless. You're right. Anyways, here's some winners and losers. Presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka.

Please drink responsibly. Why'd I agree with that? I don't know. Okay. Anyway. You do I agree with that? I don't know. Okay Anyway, you want to know my first winner right now? I thought we had a new game. We do winners and losers Oh, I just good winners and losers presented by spirit off. Sorry the world's number one vodka. All right, we've won Responsibly. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. So now I tell you the winners and it's late the afternoon. We got Jetson Niners a focus there I can't stop pacing. I mean, sorry. Do you guys have winners and losers you want to share? Just want me to tell you my winners and losers. Why don't you start with you? I got a

loser. Right. The world's got a loser presented by Smirnoff. You have a loser? Okay. I have a winner. I have one, two, three. I have four winners and one loser. Okay. So, let's get to yours first. Well, we don't have to do all of them because that's a lot of winners and losers. No, I want to do all of them. Alright, the number one winner that I have this week. Yes. My number one winner. Baker Mayfield. Oh god. If the season ended today, MVP of the league. I agree. You know, I

had some if the season ended today questions and the first one I told Billy this. Yes was if the season ended today, would Baker be the MVP? He would be. Well, according to winners and losers. Through week one, he is the MVP. Yep. He had a big week. Four touchdowns, zero interceptions. A near perfect passer rating. I am happy. Listen, the Browns could use a quarterback like that. How about that? That's another reason why he was a winner is because yesterday, Deshaun Watson, again, not a good day. Bryce Young, another one of Baker stops. Not a good day. Good day. The Sean

about it or? What can I do? I don't know. Tell him to quit. That was a good game, huh Bucks Commanders? It was a great game, yeah. Jaden Daniels, huh? Also, Austin Eckler. Had him out there returning kickoffs.

Yeah. Gotta be a little Swiss R.E. night for this team. Yeah, yeah. He was their leading receiver yesterday. He was. Yeah. Yeah. Keep an eye on Jaden Daniels.

I'm gonna tell you that right now. Really? We're not playing the game right now. We're not playing Williams, Daniels, Nicks. All right. Jaden Daniels. I'm gonna tell you that right now. Really? We're not playing the game right now We're not playing William. Keep an eye on. Nicks. All right, Jaden Daniels I feel like yesterday if we were playing that game he won week one of that game. Okay, good He's not a winner or loser. Okay, who's your second winner? My second winner Raheem Blackshear Who is Raheem Blackshear, you might ask yourself?

I was going to ask. It's an absolutely incredible question. Raheem Blackshear, because of the fact that the Saints scored so many times, Raheem Blackshear is a kickoff returner for the Panthers. And if you owned Raheem Blackshear on your fantasy team yesterday, you got over 20 points because he had 204 yards on returns yesterday. Wow. Raheem Blackshear, fantasy owners, big time winners, 20 fantasy points for someone that

you'd wonder why was on your fantasy roster. So it's the people that own him in their fantasy leagues that were the winners. Well no, him too. He had a great day. He had over 200 yards on kickoffs. Right, but they got killed. They got killed, but I mean, listen to me. I did not say the Panthers were winners. I said Raheem Blackshire was a winner yesterday.

Okay, all right. That's how winners and losers work. Sure. Winner, the New Orleans Saints. If this season ended today, best team in the NFL. How about that? Here's the thing about the New Orleans Saints. If you remember and you're a fan of the show and you're watching last week, either on God

Bless Football or on the DraftKings Kickoff Special, because I don't remember where we said it because we were on a lot last week, but we played a game called Who is the Most Boring Team to Watch? And the Saints were in that discussion and the Saints heard that and they took notice and they went out and they scored a NFL leading 47 points. That's right. Yeah. Shove it in our face. Yep against Carolina. Take that Gollix. Yeah take that Gollix indeed. Yeah you tell them. You want another winner? Sure. Former Jets quarterbacks, Sam Darnold and Geno Smith.

Oh, go put yourself. You had to do it to us? You had to. I was in a position yesterday. Jesus. In our weekly fantasy league that we do here. And by the way, if you want to participate in that, go to dkng.co slash smirnoff

and then you can compete us every week. I had your boy, Jaden Daniels yesterday. I almost took Sam Darnold because the price was right and I said ooh if I do the Sam Darnold Justin Jefferson combo here. I may win this week. He was cheap I didn't do it because I couldn't in good faith week one's always the hardest week Yeah, right in fantasy and daily fantasy It's always the hardest week because you're not sure. You just have a hunch but you're not sure. Correct. Who's going to get the

touches? Who's going to get more touches? Exactly right. I didn't know for example in Buffalo, who's going to be Josh Allen's guy. Right. I almost took Mac Holland as my flex because the flex in the daily fantasy is always how much money do I have left? I think Josh Allen's guy is Josh Allen. Yeah, it seems yesterday like Josh Allen has just decided,? I think Josh Allen's guy is Josh Allen. Yeah, it seems yesterday like Josh Allen has just decided, you know who my number one guy is on this team?

It's me, no one else. Even though Mac had two catches for 25 yards and he had a touchdown right in the middle. The rest, yeah, well. Anyways, so I didn't go with Sam Darnold. Sam Darnold, big game for him. It's happening, Mikey, it's happening. Big game, Sam.

Oh God. I know, I know. By the way it's not even sneaking up on us like everyone that we've spoken to warned us this was probably going to happen. Yes that he was going to go to San Francisco that Kyle Shanahan would put some work in with him that now he goes to Minnesota he's playing with another good coach and Kevin O'Connell he's got great wide receivers we're doomed Mike. Yeah. Anyway., are you want to know my loser? Yeah, you're one loser Mikey's got a loser. I have one winner my one loser The police officer who decided to detain Tyreek Hill who ended up being immediately placed on administrative duty before the day ended That's a quick turn usually you wait and then stuff comes out.

They realized right away, which makes you wonder, what is on that body cam? How did they determine within hours this person needs to get out of here? Right. That was a bad look from the beginning. It seemed overly aggressive. We obviously don't know all of the facts,

but you saw lots of fan videos because this happened right outside the stadium. As the fans were coming in, All of the facts but you saw lots of fan videos because this happened right outside the stadium as the fans were coming in. Officer immediately put on leave. One of the fans said he was interviewed on local

television that you know and he made the terrible joke. Okay. Said yeah he was going a little too fast but what do you expect he's the cheetah? Oh boy. I know. He was an eyewitness. He was the guy. He was the guy who shot the video. Yeah. Can I change my loser? Yeah. To him? Oh. That was my loser. So, that was my winners and losers

this week presented by Smearnaf, the number one, the world's number one vodka. Alright. Please drink responsibly. You guys have winners and losers. You wanna I think Mikey has a loser. Okay. I got I got a loser. I got a loser. I got a loser. Rookie wide receivers, because we were told how great Marvin Harrison was, one catch.

We were told how great Roma Dunze was. I think he had one catch. And I think Malik neighbors had like 60 yards. Who knew? Wide receivers, rookie wide receivers. Step right in. Unfortunate. All right, I have a winner here. Yeah? the like Billy Sanchez, Anthony Richardson, unlike any quarterback I've ever seen in my entire life. Billy, he is

Mikey A is shaking his head. He's agreeing with me. I have never seen someone with so few starts with such athletic ability play that position. You might want to say Michael Vick. He was fast. He was a great athlete. This is different.

This guy will run your defensive lineman over. It's crazy. I'm worried about him. Well, getting hurt. Yeah, I'm worried about him. But for now, congratulations. Yes. Show me something, Anthony Richardson. I was so jealous of those two fan bases to get to watch that game. Seriously. The Colts were one of those teams for me where I'm like, who's going to be the number one? Who is it going to be? Mm hmm. Alec Pierce, 125 yards a touchdown. That's what Anthony Richardson does. hmm. Alec

Pierce, 125 yards a touchdown. That's what Anthony Richardson does. He makes Alec Pierce relevance. Is that what he does? Yes. That's what great quarterbacks do. Jonathan Taylor, you think they're regretting that one? No. He

had a toady yesterday. Yeah. 48 yards though. Right. Yeah. I mean, your your quarter, your quarterbackers, you're leading Russia. Yeah, but stop running. That's not Jonathan Taylor's fault. Give the ball to JT. It is Jonathan Taylor's fault. Hit a hole, run through people.

Quarterbacks running through people, you have no excuse if you're Jonathan Taylor. God bless football. This is an ad from BetterHelp.

I'm very excited. He

is currently writing on a dry erase board that is way too small for three picks. I left the I left the big one in Kansas City. Oh, you did. Yeah. It was an odd thing to bring to Kansas City. Well, we needed it. People wanted the big boards bets, by the way, didn't end up working out one and two with those.

But that's a jam that damn Jason Sanders. And don't get me started on him. The Dolphins kicker, because the Dolphins should have covered that game. They didn't because he missed another kick. I don't know why he's still on his team. No, we don't need to get into that today. Billy kicked the game winner.

Yeah, he kicked the game winner and they needed it because he missed a kick earlier. An easy like 42 yarder. I'm not gonna say I can kick a 42 yarder cause I'm not an NFL kicker, but there's plenty of people that can. They do it on game day. They get like high school kids out of the crowd

and they do it on game day. Get out of here. What was the game winner? How long was that? Irrelevant. It's not- I think it was shorter. That was long.

It was long. It was a 50 plus yarder. Irrelevant though. Yeah, irrelevant though. Hit him during the game. We was long. It was long. It was it was a fit. It was a 50 plus yarder irrelevant though Yeah, hit him during the game. Yeah, we don't have we can't continue with this guy. We cannot continue with That he almost lost right you don't get credit Billy's been holding on to this for a nice season It's an odd guy to keep his eye on Someone needs to it. I don't know what McDaniel's up to that he's not paying attention,

but if I have to be the guy paying attention to him, I will be. We're not getting into this today. We will waste the entire segment talking about this. Let's not do this. To be fair to Billy, kickers are so good now. To have one that's a little mediocre, yeah, it's rough.

The Cowboys got a kicker like off the street last year. Reagan Aubrey. A soccer guy. Who has been incredible. Who by the way, hit a 66 yarder yesterday that was negated by an offensive penalty headed into the half. And then you know what they did?

They said, why don't we try a 71 yard field goal? And they were about to do it until the Browns called timeout. Now, maybe they were asking. That's not what happened. What happened was this. Mike McCarthy, with full Mike McCarthy, he lets the play clock run all the way down.

He gets a delay of game on a 66 yarder. That he made. That he had made. That he had made. He gets a delay of game, then it's 71 yards. Instead of letting him kick it, he decides, ah, we're not gonna kick it. And that comes out and heels it.

Well, no, there was a timeout that happened, and then they decided to change their mind. But we almost had a 71 yard attempt, not in Denver. That's crazy. And the craziest part is, it may, he may have had enough leg. The 66 yarder got through barely, but it didn't hit the crossbar.

It got through enough that a 71 yarder didn't seem insane. I mean, it did, but it didn't. You should've let him got through enough that a 71 yarder didn't seem it insane. I mean, it did, but it didn't. You should have let him try it, though. I'm with you. I'm just saying rare is the- But you know what happens there? Is then it's way shorter than they return it for a touchdown. That's what they worry about.

They're like, McCarthy, you're an idiot. Right. Screw either way. Well, I think you're an idiot. If you're Mike McCarthy, there's no winning. I mean, and the reason I say you're an idiot is rare is the day we criticize the field goal kicker after he hits a game-winning 52-yard field goal.

I mean, crazy. No, that guy gets ten years usually. No, no. Anyway, what did you guys think of Tom Brady? It was awkward. It was odd and it was a little bit tough for me to see Tom Brady. Now, I give him credit for going out there, going outside of his comfort zone and doing something he's never done before. So, I

certainly give him credit for that, right? It's not it's not like he's he just went kite or something. This is his job now. They're bringing like 375 million dollars. No, but he'll be fine. It's his first game. Broadcasting is very hard. Play-by-play is very hard and Tom Brady, I felt like he was a bit over prepared. It was it was tough for me to watch him be bad at something. I guess is what I'm saying and he doesn't need to be tough guy, team guy, leader guy in the

booth. I know all those things about you, Tom. I want to know the Tom Brady that I don't know. That's who I want to get to know is the Tom Brady that I don't know. I know you're going to fist pump me. I know you're going to talk about leadership. I know you're going to get to know is the Tom Brady that I don't know. I know you're going to fist pump me. I know you're going to talk about leadership. I know you're going to do all

that stuff. You're doing a game with Kevin Burkhardt. Relax and just give me some Tom Brady. Yeah. Yeah. I miss Greg Olsen. Yeah. Yeah. That's one thing. I felt like Brady was trying to do like the I'm going to be the serious color guy. Too much.

Yeah. Tony Roman in the beginning we liked him because he was just Tony. Right. Now it's like, yeah, Brady, give me something that's not just like X and O guy. Right. Yeah. Give me a bam, give me a whap. Yeah. You know. Okay. Give me a whap. There's something. Yeah. Big spot. Give me something that makes me smile.

Okay. Give me some personality, Billy. Yes. You want some big board bets? I do. All right. This is Billy's Big Board bets brought to you by, we're still waiting a sponsor here, but. We have been for a while. Yeah, it's okay, we're working on it.

My first one of the day, Brock Purdy under 31.5 pass attempts. Okay. Yeah. All right, like it. Passing yards, he will go over 31.5 passing yards. Oh, you think he's not? If you find 31.5 passing yards, somewhere take pound the over on that.

But I'm gonna go under 31 and a half pass attempts. Are you thinking San Francisco has a big lead, he's handing the ball off, like what is happening? I think that this one is gonna be one and lost in the trenches. Really? Yeah.

Uh huh, wow. Aren't they all? I just, I don't, I'm gonna be honest with you, I don't see Brock Purdy passing 32 times. Okay. Yeah, that's fair. It's a good bet. He is writing down his second bet right now. Jets and 49ers tonight. Oh my god. I'm so excited. I picked the Jets to make it to the Super Bowl. I also have the Bears. I'm so nervous. Listen, what's Mike? What's listen if they lose, we're in last place. We've been there before. Okay.

I mean, we're in last place right now. I spent my entire life there, right? Right. By not playing. Uh it's unbelievable. Those three teams won. Anyway, Billy, your second pick. My next one, Brandon Iuke over 3.5

reception. Really? I like it. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like he got paid. They're going to try to feed him. Little statement game. And by a statement, I mean four receptions. Quickly how, it's interesting how quickly they got that deal done. All of these deals, huh? Once they're motivated, once they're motivated,

these things seem to get done really quickly. Apparently, the Ayuk deal was the same deal they offered him at the beginning. And he just had to come around to it. He just wanted to stay in San Francisco. We never wanted to leave. I think it was like, yeah. Neither one of them budged. Exactly. And then finally it was like, okay, let's do it. It was all a gigantic waste of time. All right. They just stared at each other. Going to the Dak Prescott deal. I always find it so funny. Like he got a

$240 million contract, but they drew a line in the sand like we're only guaranteed 231 of it. Like what what what did you get by holding onto that 9 million? Right. That's you know, I'm surprised that I'm not that that broke the camel's back. That got all the leverage in

that situation. I'm surprised he signed it. You're surprised to sign 60 million dollars a year because he could have just played out this season. See what happens. I mean, how listen, how long do you want to wait for Jerry Jones? I mean, give me your last bet. We're running out of time and then we'll get back to this. Give me your last bet.

Next week. Last one. Jets first to get a first down. All right. What a bet. What a bet. That's one we're all going to be watching. Yeah. They have to get the ball first. I would figure. What's the worst that could happen? He's going to get hurt and not get $60 million a year. That's the worst that could happen. Listen, after last year getting hurt after four downs. I will merely take a first down I'm talking about Dak. You said what's the worst that can happen? It's her he should he gets injured and he doesn't get 60 million dollars a year But you know what? He'd probably get injured and still get 60 million from somebody else first team to get a first down jets tonight That's what I'm saying. I'll take it if the season ends after they get a first down and Aaron gets

earned, big step forward from where we were a year ago. Five place. Five place. That's all I want. The year was 2004 and the crew was wrapping up their first episode. 20 years later, here we are.
