The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz - GBF- Swap Week

Episode Date: November 22, 2024

Stugotz, Billy, and Mikey A are getting ready for a big week of football surrounding...Indiana? Mike Golic joins the show to play a game of What if? and hear some of Billy and Stugotz's ideas to improve the college and NFL game. Golic is less than impressed. Simms joins the show in the middle of Stugotz's book tour and isn't happy about it. Simms thinks the Giants might have an issue with Tommy DeVito starting instead of Drew Lock or Daniel Jones. Simms is really impressed with the Bills and thinks they would beat the Chiefs again in the playoffs if they match up. K Funk is back to make picks with the rest of the crew, but Mojo has a new approach when talking to him. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Fuentes. God bless football, Stugats. Thank you. Very exciting weekend coming up. The weekend before Thanksgiving. I love Thanksgiving. My favorite holiday of the year. But we have an exciting weekend. Yeah, it is. It's not your favorite holiday? It's not? Uh, it's, you know, it's okay.

I don't know about my favorite of all time. Mike, yeah, your favorite? My favorite? No, no, Christmas is my favorite. Really? We get to play football on Christmas this year. Christmas, we actually get good, you know, much better football than what we're getting on Thanksgiving. Well, I don't on Christmas this year. We actually get much better football

than what we're getting on Thanksgiving. Well, I don't celebrate Christmas, I celebrate Hanukkah, therefore Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. It's the next day this year. Yeah, but you know, you guys get 12 days, I get eight crazy nights, it just doesn't seem fair. Christmas, it dominates Hanukkah Christmas, it really does.

I mean. By the way, guys, we're presented by Smirnoff. We do game days. Please drink responsibly. The Smirnoff Company, New York, New York. I'm a little sad. Why? It's been a couple years because we're missing the annual tradition that we had for two or three seasons. We didn't have

it last year. And now we're not having it again this year. So it's sad that we're going to miss this tradition. And that, of course, is the annual tradition of Stugats asking Jabba Chamberlain what he's doing for Thanksgiving for Jabba that then tells Stugatz, I don't celebrate Thanksgiving. Thanks, asshole.

Yeah. I forgot about that. Sad, sad we're gonna miss out on that one again. Not my thing. I thought my thing. You forgot about it. I've thought about it every day since we had, since I asked them.

Yeah, and you asked him the next year too. I did. Oh my god, Billy. I missed Java. Today was actually the first day I woke up and I didn't think about that. And now Billy reminded me. It's the first day in years. Yes.

Yeah, the first day in years every Yeah, the first day in years. Every day you wake up in that trauma. Guys, I cannot believe I am saying this, but the thing I am most excited about at an important part of the year for college football and the NFL with many big games on the schedule, the thing I'm most excited for this weekend is a college football game involving Indiana. I just want

to see if they're any good. I know they're undefeated, but I have no idea if they're good. You don't have any idea if they're any good. I'm not even certain they know if they're any good. They're going to find out this weekend when they play at Ohio State and I'm excited for it. Do you think they are good? Do you want them to be good? What do you want out of this? Do you want them to be good and beat Ohio State? Do you want them to get demolished so that they're out of the picture?

Do you want them to keep it close? What are you hoping for? What I think is going to happen is I don't think they're very good. Their schedule is one of the worst in the country. I think Ohio State is going to blow them out and Indiana will be out of the playoffs. So that's what I think is gonna happen. What I want to happen is for Indiana to spring the upset. I do, but I just, I can't see it.

I just don't see it happening. I mean, they haven't really played great teams and they've been blowing everyone out. I saw Indiana the first game of the season because they played against FIU and FIU was playing them pretty close and then got like a backdoor cover at the end of the game but it'll be interesting to

see how this game goes. So Billy, that's so funny because I saw Indiana play at Northwestern. My daughter goes to school there and I said to myself right then and there, that team is not good enough to win a national championship. Like they they

physically don't look big enough and they weren't good enough to win a national championship. Like they they physically don't look big enough and they weren't good enough on that particular day where I walked away saying, oh man, that team's going to be one of the last four teams standing. It it also by the way

and like I know that we've upset a lot of people in Indiana by our coverage of Indiana football but like I don't care. It's not. We again. It's not. It's not. We again. Yeah. We we really got to be better but like. I don't care. There's that we again. It's not a. There's that we again. Yeah, we really gotta be better, but like it's not an indictment on them, right? Like it's their first year with Cignati as their coach.

Like it's only gonna get better from here. I mean, assuming he stays and he doesn't leave. I was gonna say their first and last year with Cignati as coach. You got a big contract. Yeah, yeah, okay. I know, it doesn't mean much, but. Is the most.

I'll get a bigger one. Yeah. Yeah. Is the most know it doesn't mean much, but get a bigger one. Yeah. Is the most important game for Indiana left on the schedule, the Michigan Ohio State game? Because if Michigan wins, then Sygnetti is definitely going to Ohio State. Oh, that's so funny. Even if Ohio State beats them. That is crazy. What a scenario. But I think the thing I'm more interested in is how close Indiana needs to keep the game. I cannot see Indiana winning the game. I can't see a scenario where Ohio State wins by seven to ten points. And I'm trying to figure out where's the line of demarcation for the committee where they'll say, okay, Indiana hung

and they hung long enough with Ohio State that we're gonna put them into the college football playoff. Stugats, you mentioned a committee that have exciting news for everyone. What's that? Later today on this episode of God Bless Football, Mike Golick is gonna be introduced to a potentially new committee.

He's gonna be introduced to a revolutionary idea Yeah in the world of college football and Mikey has some some what-ifs for Mike so exciting episode Yeah ahead. Yeah today. It is. I have a feeling that goal looks gonna hate both those ideas. So I mean, you know, I Don't know. I'm not certain right you're not huh? I feel like he might be open to some of these. And if not, then like, maybe it's a him problem. You know? Like, I don't want to point the finger, but like, it's always, what are we doing to upset Mike Golick?

Maybe it's him. Have we ever considered that? You're right. There's never been a better time to play What If or If the Season Ended Today or any variations of those games because you actually have stuff to do it with you know so we'll try out what if with Mike Golan coming up later and a revolutionary new idea for the NFL playoffs I believe as well Chris Simms going to join us as well. I have two quick what ifs what if it's Mike Golan's problem that's a what if second if, what if you want to compete against us in weekly fantasy? Well guess what? I have a solution for you. Go to dkng.co slash levitard, three dollar buy-in. Last week I told you I'm

gonna win it all and I did not. I finished in like 200 something place right in the middle. Making my way in the right direction though so you can compete against us again. Go to dkng.co.slash smirnoff. That contest is presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka. Please drink responsibly. Guys, this is the weekend. I said it last weekend. It's this one.

Setting up my lineup now. Sometimes I tell you a little sneak preview. Here's what I'm thinking. Here's who I'm thinking. Not doing it this week. No, not going to tell you who's going to be on my team because then you're just going to copy my team because you know, I'm going to finish in first and I'm not splitting it with any use. All right. A lot of bye weeks this week. Just so you know, Billy. Okay. Yeah, a lot of bye weeks.

Are you guys ready to try these two games out on Mike Golic? I maintain that he's going to hate him. Are you guys ready to try these two games out on Mike Goelke? I maintain that he's going to hate him. Are you guys still want to keep going forward with this? Well, we have no choice. Mike Goelke. We have to. Mike Goelke next. Feeling

Find a bottle near you at lararsonieBerman.com. God bless football is brought to you by Larsonie Berman, Ardstown, Kentucky, 46% alcohol by volume. Think wisely, drink wisely. Oh, I'm excited today, Mike. Yeah, makes one of us. When's your birthday? December 12th. Oh, let me write this down.

December 12th. I think you did this last year, Billy. He did. He wrote it down. He didn't send him a thing. He did. It's probably down. He did send him a thing. It's probably somewhere. It's somewhere.

So people, so you understand what Billy just did is he asked for Mike Golick's birthday. And then he said he was going to write it down. And Mikey A and I are saying that Billy did the exact same thing last year, asked him his birthday, wrote it down on a piece of paper. Golick, what did Billy get you for your birthday last year? I don't recall anything coming to the house from Billy.

I have it there, December 12th, it's written down. This isn't for your birthday though. I was asking out of curiosity because before we started recording, we decided collectively as a group that we wanna honor Mike Golik with a Mike Golik day. So I was wondering when his birthday was to see if we should plan it around his birthday or maybe,

you know, because there's a lot of like December babies. I don't know if you were like this growing up where you're not close enough to Christmas where you probably got the two separate presents for your birthday and Christmas, right? Where like, if you're in the twenties range, I feel like that's when people start getting away with only giving you one thing.

So I'm thinking Mike Golick day has to be like in May or June. So it's a nice six months away from your birthday. Well, I have two of my three kids. Sydney was born on December 21st and Jake is actually a Christmas baby. Wow. Wow. So he would fall into that category of at what point do you kind of get screwed out of gifts?

But now going back to the Mike Golick day, what would that entail? Would that entail prizes and gifts and trips? We're in the early planning phases of the Mike Golick day situation. I wasn't... Well Billy, I think one of the things we need to figure out is where Mike would like this day to be because there are several places that would like to host a Mike Golick day. It could be Cleveland. It could be Notre Dame. It could be Philadelphia. It could be Bristol, Connecticut. I mean, so Mike, let's start there. Like the location of this event, where would you like it? Well, if it's in summertime, probably not Arizona,

because it'll be 115. And if it's wintertime, probably not Notre Dame, because there'll be 10 feet of snow. So a lot depends on the time of year that it were to be held. Let's say late spring, early summer, where should we hold my goal at day? I would probably say at Notre Dame.

Wow, what a day, what a day. I'm excited. Let me call. Who's the uh who's in charge here now? Uh father what? I just this this is a this is a waste of exercise. My goal day in Notre Dame would be fair. You get a key to the city. You get some good food. You get beers. Everyone is celebrating the Golic name the entire day. You're not in on this? I mean, no.

However, I will say this, Mike. You're gonna have to cut off all of your public appearances at Notre Dame between now and Mike Golic Day so that we build up some sort of demand for it. So you're gonna have to cut off all income that comes out of Notre Dame festivities between now and Mike Golick Day if you'd like Mike Golick Day to be at Notre Dame.

If you would like to make up said income, then I will gladly do that. Well, I mean, we'll do so in honor. No, no, I like cold hard cash in my hand. Right, right. So Jake was born on Christmas immaculate conception. Oh No, my friend. Oh Okay, no, I'm talking about

Thing about chef you when he breaks news. Yeah, how about it? I mean talk about that wasn't even a humble brag and To say that that chef T again for those that don't know we're talking about chef He said he broke news in Denver right after having sex he said and the thing that for me got me was he said it was with the first time with This woman, so what did he just pick her up in Denver? I mean talk about your classic one-night stand I mean, what was the deal? Follow-ups I mean, what was the deal? Adam Shafter.

There were lots of follow-ups. Yeah. Shafty. Yeah. Oh boy. Wow. Sorry. It deserved it.

Like I met the moment. It did. You're talking about Shafter. You're talking about him having sex. I followed it up with an Adam Shafter. I mean, there's nothing wrong with that. You did. You did.

Yep. It's fair. Yeah, Mikey A is shaking his head. Oh really, Mikey A? That's the one? I crossed the line for you, huh, Mikey A? That's the line. That's Mikey A is shaking his head. Oh really Mikey A. That's the one I crossed the line for you. Huh

Mikey A? That's the line. That's the line. Adam Shafter. That's my line. Shafty. Oh god. Uh Mike, we have not won but two games that I think are going to. Well, no. Mike, Mike, give us some credit here. You haven't heard us out yet. Okay. Mikey A

has some scenarios. A little game we like to call what if so the college football playoff was released and now so more than ever Mike, you can actually play the games. What if or if the season ended today and so we're going to play that with you and then Billy and I have been talking about changing everything with the NFL postseason, but first. Everything. Everything, Mike. Also, Mike, I have a potential, potential game changer for sports forever

moving forward that we would implement in college football. Yes, yes. It's exciting. Well, you guys have really been putting a lot of time and effort into things I'm gonna shoot down. Well, we'll see. Oh, come on. We'll see, we will see, Mike. You might like our ideas,. Well, we'll see. Oh, come on. We'll see. We will see, Mikey.

Mike, like our ideas, you know, you never know. Give it a shot. I wanna start with what if though. So if we could start there, Mikey, he has a series of questions. Mike, before we get to what if, what were your overall thoughts here on the college football committee's rankings

of the teams for the playoff? Well, I mean, we're in the third one, so nothing is really changing and we still have on the field things that are going to lay out Indiana playing Ohio State, Texas playing Texas saying I'm the last week of the season. So you're going to you're going

to get more shifting and I think hearing Lane Kiffin complain and and I think there is a little bit to that of saying what's the good of making a SEC championship game if you lose it It's a third loss and you don't even make the playoffs as opposed to not making it and sitting there were two losses and making the playoffs and I think SEC teams are saying that because SEC teams right now are that. SEC teams are saying that Am I want the best matchups and I feel like the best teams are in the SEC.

Am I wrong, Mike? No, I think it is the deepest. So, what happens first? Do you get rid of the automatic bid of the conferences because the lowest conference, you know, seed for the ACC is eight in Miami, and for the big 12, hell, it's out of the top 12. Boise State at 12 would actually have the number four seed and have a bye. So is that something that everybody is good with?

Basically, outside of the Sun Belt, all the divisions are gone in college. There's conferences, and there used to be divisions within conferences. the the the the the the the

the the the the the the the state go to Oregon and lose by three points and Oregon is the committee's number one team in the country. So I'm I'm not even certain how to do this

correctly to be honest with you. I I know I know yes it's crazy Mikey you have some what if scenarios here for for mister Mike Golic. I do including one that I'm particularly excited about but we'll we'll start it off easy Mike we'll go right to your wheelhouse right what if Notre Dame beats army but then loses to USC oh wow I like it well if

Notre Dame beats army and Indiana loses Ohio State Notre Dame will move up to at least to five so then it's a matter if they lose to USC so let's just say it's a close game do they drop eight spots out So let's just say it's a close game. Do they drop eight spots out of it or seven spots out of it and be number 12 and get bumped out if there's a conference champ that's lower than 12. I think, I think because USC season is so bad right now and Notre Dame's other losses to a Northern Illinois team, which is just losing game after game now. I have a feeling Notre Dame could be out. I think they literally could be out.

Two bad losses. Hold on, Billy made a sound. Two bad losses. Hold on, let's hear Billy out. He made a sound, he's objecting to this. Go ahead, Billy. Ian, Notre Dame is in the playoffs regardless. They can lose the last two games of the season,

they're still making it. And Mike, this playoff was designed specifically to make sure Notre Dame gets in every season. You know it, I know it. We don't need to pretend that that's not what's going on here. Not going to happen. All right, Mikey, you got another one? All right. I got two more. Here's the next one. This one's going to get a little more complicated now, Mike. We're going to the big 12 here. All right. Kansas State beats Colorado. Right. Arizona State beats BYU. the state. So, we're gonna take twelve here, right? Kansas State beats Colorado. Right. Arizona State beats BYU.

Ooh. And Iowa State loses to Utah. Wow. So, what you would have is uh two loss BYU, a three loss Iowa State, and a two loss Colorado, three loss Colorado. Right, Colorado would be out in that scenario, so. Yeah. Yes.

I mean, what are you looking for for me? I mean, you're only gonna get one team in the Big 12 in this. You're only gonna get one team. It's gonna be the conference winner and that's it. So, I mean, we already have turmoil in the SEC about who's gonna be in the SEC title game, but the Big 12 is wide open as well,

but it just shows you're probably only gonna get one of the Big 12 and maybe only one in the ACC. Say SMU plays Miami or Clemson plays Miami and SMU or Clemson win over a Miami team. But I think Miami may drop out, but you're definitely only getting one big 12. So all those teams you mentioned all have the possibility of winning the big 12.

They would be the only team in and most likely be the 12th ranked. Mike, you know, allowed me to translate. He said that what if was terrible. That's what he said. So that's fine. I'm setting them up. All right. I'm set that that's the pitch I threw out of the zone so that he'd look at it so I can throw this one. All right, give me that stuff. Go ahead, yep. I'm going to the SEC now. Here we go. Oh. Over the next two weeks,

Florida beats Ole Miss, Oklahoma beats Bama, Vanderbilt beats Tennessee, Auburn beats A&M, but beats Texas. So now, Ole Miss, Bama, Beats A&M, but beats Texas. So now Ole Miss, Bama, Tennessee, A&M would all have three losses. His head is going to explode.

And I don't know who would be in the SEC title game. I don't know. I mean, but we do know that the winner is in, but I guarantee you if it's two, three, with your scenario, if it's two, three lost teams in the SEC, then only one SEC team's getting in. If everybody else has- Suppose Texas or Georgia,

Texas or Georgia were the teams I left out, suppose one of them wins the SEC title. Will the SEC only have one or two teams in a 12 team playoff? I'll put it this way. If there is a three lost team that's going to get it, it's going to be with the SEC, which would probably give them a third team in. There is something to Lane Kiffin saying,

if a two lost team makes the title game and gets blown out, that they might drop out and somebody just kind of hanging around with two losses, not in the SEC title game, might be in it. So it might be a detriment to make it to the SEC title game. I don't know how much I buy it, but if there, I will say this along your scenario,

that if there is a three loss team to make it in the playoffs, it will be an SEC team. I agree. Or Notre Dame. Or Notre Dame, right. No. I mean, Notre Dame is it. Mikey, do you have any more?

Are we done here? Because I have one for going. No, I think we can be done. Uh let's let's get to Billy's stuff. I am fascinated by Ohio State and Indiana, Mike. And so, I want your thoughts on this because

I'm not certain outside of winning. Is there a scenario if Indiana loses by seven points, where's the line of demarcation? That's what I'm looking for where Indiana loses by too much and therefore, it prevents them from getting into the playoff. They would have to get really blown out. Okay. I think but their their strength of schedule is awful. It's triple digits. I think it's a hundred and six. It is. Yes. So so they need at worst

a close loss to hang in there and then even one loss, there will be SEC teams that are screaming that their two loss teams should be ranked higher than Indiana's one loss team. And you know what? They're not all wrong. But the Big Ten and the SEC are the two big two power conferences, so they're always gonna get the benefit of the doubt.

So I think if Indiana loses a close game, they're still going to be in. So Mike, how do we define a close game here? Is it they they're in the game the entire time and they lose by seven? How do we define a close game? Yeah, I would say the eye test of are they in this game? Are they really in this game? Is Ohio State pulling away in this game? Is it not very competitive?

Which I don't expect, I expect it to be because Indiana, their defense is playing some ball for the offense, for Ohio State, they have two linemen out now, they lost the tackle a bit ago, they lost their center in practice. So, and that defense, and that's a D line for Indiana is really good. So I actually expect it to be a close game,

but I think it's one of those two that you'll kind of know when you see it. You'll say, oh, that game wasn't competitive at all. Which would put Indiana in a very precarious position. But I do think it'll be a very good game. The committee's not going for 24-7 Ohio State fourth quarter, and Indiana tacked on a couple of garbage touchdowns

at the end to make it 24-21 or something like that. I wouldn't think so. I think there'll be a lot of eye test here of just knowing how competitive the game was. Yep, are you concerned about Army at all? I mean, undefeated, taking on Notre Dame, Yankee Stadium, really? I definitely am, but just like Notre Dame,

Navy had what, two turnovers total when they played Notre Dame. Notre Dame turned them over six times. Now, some of those were just bad plays by Navy, but if you take, and Navy had been a passing team as well. Army is not, their quarterback has like a million touchdown rushes this year. So you have to take their running

attack away and with the triple option, you have to play disciplined football. If they play it like they played against Navy, they should be able to beat an army. But yeah, I'm always concerned with an option team controlling the ball controlling the clock and controlling the scoreboard. Mike I would say if Indiana wins and I would say even teams like SMU in Miami would be upset. If Indiana loses, excuse me,

because Miami would say, hey, let's say Miami has two losses, Indiana has one, but their one loss is to the one good team they played. I think Miami SMU, if they had two losses, would say, hey, we're better than that team. Miami's played no one also though. Yeah, just like the SEC would say that as well, but Miami's been living on a wing and a prayer for a while.

And you guys are lost. They should have lost a couple of more games, quite honestly, but they didn't to their credit. They came back and won it. Yes. Indiana definitely seems to be the linchpin of why are they getting all this love when they haven't played anybody? It's because they're playing in one of the top two conferences in the country and they're undefeated. Right. That's why. They play the defending national champions. It's not their fault.

The defending national champions suck this year. I mean, what does that ever happen? That's exactly right. Right? That's exactly right. Yes. Yep. Billy and I have decided we like the college football playoffs so much that we would like to form a committee

and try this out in the NFL. Oh boy. Well, hold on, hold on, hold on, Mike. Before we go to the NFL, Mike, I have a I have an idea that I had earlier this week in college and it's been it's been getting surprisingly positive feedback and I had from, you know, even a a respected voice in the college football world, a broadcaster of college football games reach out to me and say, I love this idea. So, let me run it by you. He hates it already. You

haven't heard it. Yeah, I know. I'm with you, Billy. Right. Mike, Mike, do you have an open mind? Uh for most everybody, yes but for you, it's already half closed. You seem to have that effect on everyone, Billy. I don't understand it. I'm just trying to kind of, I'm trying to make what is becoming a very good system better, and I'm trying to make a competitive system

more competitive. So here's my proposal to you, and obviously there are a lot of details that we need to figure out, but obviously we have rivalry rivalry reek right we're gonna have conference championship week coming up then we're gonna have the ball games now to what we were talking about Indiana for example and you know the very popular saying is you can only play the teams on your schedule correct right but what if you could play teams that were not on your schedule, correct? Right. But what if you could play teams that were not on

your schedule? And here's the proposal. I have come up with this idea for a week called swap week, and I'd like swap week to be week 10 of the regular season. And the idea is, if you are a team that could potentially be in contention, or you're a team that maybe suffered a bad loss early on, and you're trying to get in the top 12 to make it to the potential college football playoffs, week 10 of the regular season is before rivalry week, and it's before conference championship week. And what you can do is, by week eight,

you declare we are electing to opt in on swap week. And what you could do is you then have a database of all the teams who have elected swap into swap week, and you can choose your opponent for week 10 amongst the other teams who have elected to swap out their game. So if they have a cupcake game that's going to do nothing to up their standings, they can switch to a harder game. going to do nothing to up their standings, they can switch to a harder game. Or if they feel like they've done enough, they can swap out and say, you know what? We're going to take an easier game this week.

We want to be healthy. We want to buy in this situation. You know what I mean? Swap week. So you have a chance to boost your resume towards the end of the season within the teams that have also decided we need to strengthen our schedule here. What do you think? I'm a master of body

language and I think he loves it. Because here's the thing Mike, here's the thing and it sounds crazy. Here's the thing, it sounds crazy but also so did a 12-team playoff at one point in time. And I can envision a world in which we adopt swap week, and again, we have to work out the details because you obviously have deals with the teams, you have travel, you have all that set up, but you adopt swap week,

and then what is the committee gonna take into consideration? Not just the teams that swapped and who they swapped to play, but the teams who decided not to swap. And how did they handle swap week? Did they show courage or did they say, you know what, we're going to take it easy, we're taking this committee for granted,

we're just going to coast on in there. Swap week, coming soon to college football. You were muted. I didn't hear anything you said. Okay. So I was thinking week 10 of the regular season, we do something called swap week. Bad move, Gollick. Wow.

Wow. Mike, just tell them you like the fucking idea so we can move on. Again, I'll remind you, I had a person that you respect respect a person that I know for a fact you respect and a voice of the game of college football reach out to me and say I love swap week. Well, they must have been drunk. So. Well, as your son. That went well. I know he was drunk. Yeah, that's a little that's a little too involved for me. Yeah. Have we asked you a single question that has made any sort of sense to you? Anything? No. Well, it's only going to get worse from here, Mike. I hate to tell you.

Yeah. Yeah, I know. So, Mike, here's the thought behind an NFL committee choosing the playoffs because not only do I want the matchups that I want, do I want the quarterbacks in the playoffs that I want in there. You have teams getting, you know, they're unhealthy at the wrong times. You have teams who are getting healthy at the

right time and so this is to reward the fans and the teams and put the best actual NFL teams in the playoff. For example, everyone would love to see Joe Burrow in the Bengals in the playoff. For example, everyone would love to see Joe Burrow and the Bengals in the playoffs as opposed to seeing Bo Nicks and

the Broncos in the playoffs. And so this is an opportunity for the committee to get together and say, you know what? I don't think Denver is one of the 14 best teams in the NFL. I think Cincinnati is. Their defense is getting healthy right now. Plus, we'd like to see Joe Burrow take on Patrick Mahomes,

and they create that matchup for us. You don't like this idea at all? No. Why? You don't. Why? No, I mean, what are you playing the regular season for to get a record if the record's not going to matter?

Practice. Yeah. Ask college football. Yeah, exactly right. Yep. Here's the other thing I would say. Hmm. I don't know even though when I'm done in this business in a few years I would like to be on the committee. I would like to be one of the 13 members on the committee swap week here we come that God that being said I really think You almost need to take the human element out of it and pick the top 12 By going back to the old BCS computer way and just punching in all the numbers and seeing the 12 teams

It spits out like nerd and seeing the 12 teams it spits out. Nerd. Yeah. Mike, we ran through, just so you're saying, we ran through our computers to get this scenario of a committee for the NFL playoffs, if you'd like it. So we kind of tore up the playbook. We no longer have conferences.

We're gonna have both conferences together. We're just gonna seed teams one through four. Now, we also because you know this is a TV product we have themes for the different rounds I'll have you know. So the first round is no longer super wild card weekend it's super revenge weekend. So every matchup will have a revenge aspect to it because that will get people tuning in. I will also let you know that where you finished in the regular season is taken into account

but it also doesn't necessarily affect your seating in the playoff bracket. So if you want, our computers have kind of given everything up here and I can give you who it is that is gonna be playing the first matchups of each round of Super Revenge Weekend. I'm at a loss for words. I'm I'm I'm we're giving the people what they want. Yeah, we're giving the people

what they want. We're giving them a speechless games. We're giving great matchups. We're giving the matchups that everyone wants to see. That's what we're doing. Okay. Yeah. So here we go. Super revenge weekend. Now, there are two buys. Okay. The Lions had a buy and the Chiefs had a buy. However, we use the buy nullifier on the Chiefs and gave the buy to the bill because there's a buy nullifier every year. So if one of the teams that gets a buy, it doesn't make sense. They have a buy nullifier. So the Chiefs were hit with the buy nullifier and the Bills now have the buy.

So the two teams on the buy are number one seed Lions and the number two seed now Bills after the buy nullifier. The first matchup, number three Steelers versus number 14 Broncos. That's a doozy. Russell Wilson, Sean Payton, revenge game. You like it Mike? Super revenge weekend. What a way to set the tone on Saturday.

I just thought in the last two minutes ago, you guys had the Broncos out of the playoffs and Cincinnati in the playoffs. Well no, you guys had the Broncos out of the playoffs and Cincinnati in the playoffs. Well, no, in a scenario, but the computers ran it like you wanted and the computers had them in. You said to get the human element, so we did, yeah. We took out the human element. Okay, next one.

Number four, Eagles versus number 13, Bengals. Now you wonder what's the revenge element here. Sidney Brown, Eagles safety, and Chase Brown, Bengals running back. Now you wonder what's the revenge element here. Sydney Brown, Eagle Safety and Chase Brown Bengals running back identical twins. The rare house divided game. Yep. Oh Mike, can you imagine? I actually liked that thought. All right. Perfect. All right. Now we're moving on the now number five chiefs are taking on the number 12 49ers Superbowl 58 rematch in the first round Super Revenge weekend. You like that, huh?

All right. Number six Packers against number 11. Now this is one of the super wild card spots. The other super wild card spot went to the Bengals. Number six Packers against number 11, Jets. Aaron Rodgers revenge. No. Been waiting for. What do you mean Mike? Packers, Jets Aaron Rogers

revenge. No. Been waiting for. What do you mean Mike Packers Jets? I mean, let me tell you more people would be watching that game Packers and Jets to advance in the playoffs. The fact I'm going to say this that would be the highest rated game

of Super Revenge Wild Card weekend. Well, there's two more. There's two more. There's number seven. That's your Sunday nighter. Yeah, there's number seven against number 10. The Ravens against the Chargers or Bobble Harbole the horrible getting that this Monday. We are getting that in the first round. Super revenge weekend and then finally a revenge game for one of them. Those damn computers. Double revenge. Then finally, we have

number eight commanders against number nine Cardinals, Cliff Kingsbury and Kyler Murray and then unfortunately, the first two teams out are going to be the Vikings at eight and two and the Texans at seven and four. You know what? Don't

respond. Mike, respond after this. I don't like the idea either. It was a bad idea by us. I am bailing on this idea. I'm bailing on the segment. So Mike, you can respond now. Yeah, I, yeah. Listen, I like the thought of the revenge, the different scenarios within the revenge game, but you can't base playoffs just on the revenge factor.

Yeah, you have to make the regular season count for something. All right, we'll take it into consideration. Hear me out. What if instead of the Packers, the Jets played the Vikings and it's the Sam Darnold revenge game. Now you got the eight and two team back in there. Yeah. What if? No. No, I think he likes it. I think he likes it.

All right. Well, we have some notes here. We have some things to work on. We'll have this cleaned up somewhat for you the next time we do this. Don't worry about that. All right, thank you, Mike. So you guys actually just left in the middle of the segment. So, well, time hated this week. Yeah, hated it so much.

Your own guy doesn't even like the idea. He just left. Yeah. I'll let you know, Mike. I sent an email to FatherDoubt, and we are working on Mike Golick Day at Notre Dame. Alright, I'm excited. Meals are in motion. So cancel all your future appearances. Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen, but you know, I appreciate the effort.

Alright, God bless football, Mike. God bless football, Mike. Yay. God bless football, everybody. It is time for this week's edition of Steele Gouts presented by DraftGangs Sportsbook.

So now, you know, we have our, you know, normal thing. They just showed me an inside look that Selling his book. Oh my god. He's running around selling his book. Not even doing his normal obligations He's just guests appearing on other shows didn't even tell us this was happening. We find out like I gotta go

I gotta go do a promo for my book Geez. Yeah big week next week for you Chris for my book. Geez. Yeah. Big week next week for you, Chris. Big week. Why? It's your family's Thanksgiving football game. Yeah, that's right. Have the lines come out yet on it or? Yeah. Not yet. Vegas is still trying to figure out who's playing, who's in, who's out. Do you know the rosters yet? Will he be playing? I don't know. Maybe this year. Do they know that you've been doing CrossFit and that's yeah move the line at least right I would probably why they haven't come out with the line they got a few investigators out checking my shape see what I mean sure it looks a little looser than last to the next sorry

so here we go what the fuck are you kidding me that was the biggest Billy move ever right there what I mean we got a thing scheduled. He scheduled something else for his own personal life enjoyment out of his book. I mean what's he got to write in a book? I moved from Long Island. I moved to Miami and I talk like an idiot on the radio every day. What a book. Great book. Right. I don't know if he can even hear you. I don't even know if he can hear you, but that was wonderful. There was a good impression. I hope you're recording, right? Yeah, I hope we're going recording. Sims. Go ahead. Keep talking about me. Go ahead. Yeah, we're talking about you. Don't worry. We talked a lot about you.

Yeah, yeah, I'm sure you did. Very Billy, very Billy of you to show up late here and doing other things. I'm sorry. I'm promoting my book. That's all I was doing. I mean, damn. What's the what's the title of the book? The title of the book is Stu God's personal record book. It is right here. God says personal record book. Yes, it is my personal record book, the real winners and losers in sports. I I use his personal record book. Yes, it is my personal record book, the real winners and losers in sports. I used the personal record book as a throw away line

once at ESPN when I was talking about Kevin Durant saying, I don't care what the record books say in my personal record book, which I don't have, but now I do. I said, Durant has no rings in my personal record book. Right, right. All right, I understand the title then. That makes sense.

At first, it did not make sense to me. And I was like, damn, that's a lot of words, but OK. Yeah, well, it is a lot of words. I mean, more words than I ever thought I would write my entire life since. Yeah, you're right. I mean, damn, writing a book. I was making fun of you for writing a book

and how much you really got a hold on it. Yeah, I mean, we know a book. I was making fun of you for writing a book. And how much you really got to know. We know he's not writing. He's talking to someone who's writing it for him. We got that. I love your support. Thank you, guys. We know that. And he's not even talking clearly.

They have to like, f***ing fix his talking as they go, too. And they're like, wait, that didn't make sense. Can you say it in an English sentence for us the proper way? Yeah. So lots of issues. Luckily, I it in an English sentence for us the proper way? Yeah. So lots of issues. Luckily, I got LeBretard to write the foreword. And I got plenty of people to contribute.

And Sims, if you're wondering why you weren't one of them, it's because I have you, Ear Morgue, for chapter 10 in the next book. How about that? Exciting? Oh, wow. Wow, there's going to be a sequel to the next book? You're already that confident that this will do that well

that they're gonna ask you to do another one. I don't know, I'll have to throw the challenge flag on that one. Really? What is the next one, Stugatz? I have no idea, I was just making up. All right, Stugatz, while you were away, before you joined us, Chris Sims was telling us

how we shouldn't use microwaves anymore. Right, why? Remove those from your diet. Microwave takes the nutrients out of your food, right? Just, you can look it up right now if you want, but yeah, you don't want to use a microwave. It's not, you're not getting the full nutritional benefits of the food that you're eating

when you put it in a microwave. I haven't used a microwave. I told Billy, no joke, it's been 20 years. I don't think I've had a microwave in the last two houses I've lived in, it's been 20 years. I don't think I've had a microwave in the last two houses I've lived in, maybe the last three houses. So yeah, I stay away from that kind of stuff.

And how'd you guys feel about that, Billy? How do you feel about that? I mean, well, we got to it because he's eating breakfast. He has home cooked food that he's eating there and he has tin foil around it. Then we asked how he heats it up. He said tin foil and that he doesn't microwave anything what kind of like your bacon crispy like a little I

used to but when I was younger was crispy now I like a little flop in it you know it's like it's funny as you get older right like you start to like fat and grizzle a little bit more I don't know what I used to be the guy that would cut that off and now I'm like yeah one that's telling my kids like oh you wimp eat this right here. That's a great piece. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I like my bacon hard enough that I could stab someone in the chest with it if I needed to. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. That's stupid. Why would you like that? Why? Why? I like it. Like hurt your teeth like that. I don't know. I mean, Sims, what happens when

you're in a rush and you just got nuke something real quick, you know? Yeah, I, I, that, that doesn't happen. I just, I, I, I would, I don't know. It doesn't happen. I haven't thought about it forever and it's either hot and ready to go or it's just not gonna get f***ing eaten. Or you just gotta turn the oven on before you go. You gotta turn the oven on, let it heat up in there for a few minutes and go. But yeah, no microwave in the Sims household right now. So guys, I asked him the same question before and he gave me the most dead answer ever. He said, don't be in a rush. There you go. Or be in a rush and make sure it's hot already and then just take it with you. That's what I do. That's why I have a

wife. I mean, those are one of the things that is a benefit of having a wife and my old traditional 1950 Marriage that we both agreed to yeah, it's like hey, where's my breakfast? I'm going out the door here It better be hot and ready to go. Are you certain your wife agreed to these terms? Are you certain of that? I mean cuz I'm gonna send this audio to her and see if she agreed to that No, she would agree like she wouldn't even fight. She'd be like, no, that's our relationship. And that's why I can go buy a Birkin bag from Hermes whenever I want. Trust me, she's winning, so don't worry. Stu lives next to Adam Silver. If he wants me to have that sort of relationship,

I'll make sure his breakfast is hot and ready. Yeah, there you go. You're funny. Yeah, sorry. I don't want to see you in the kitchen though when I get there. So I'm guessing his wife is slightly more attractive, Mikey. Yeah. Chris, if you had to marry one of the three of us, who would it be? Oh, neither. None of them. There's no positive thing to answer there. Right, but you have to. No, you have to. You have to. I'm going to live a single life. Right. I'm going to live a single life. Right. Okay. I mean, Sims, come on. I mean, money, you wouldn't factor in anything. You have to marry one of the three of us. I go

Billy. Don't marry any of us for money. Get out of here. I'm not marrying any of you. Right. I mean, no way. That's just not happening. Sorry. There's just some things I'll play along with, and this is one that I want. I was using the money to try to get him to marry me, Billy. I understand, but he's worth more than this, you guys. He's worth way more than I had. I know, but you're a below average writer and I like creativity so I could never marry

you. Yes, it's why I needed all these people to write my book. Sims, you should write a book, man. Nah, I mean maybe one day, but I'll let the stories continue to accumulate. One day I'll get there maybe, but I don't know. I'm also one that's like, am I that interesting to write a book and I don't want to deal with having to even get it orchestrated or talk to somebody a few hours every day and do

all that crap. Maybe when I'm older, I think being the son of an NFL quarterback, Super Bowl winning champion quarterback, what it's like growing up in that household, what it's like being in that environment. I do think there's some people that would be interested in that. He was an NFL quarterback. I hear that. I hear that. Yeah. No, and I got, I mean, I got a ton of stories. That's one thing that will never, they'll never go away is me and stories, just whether it's my dad's career into my own career. I've been very fortunate to be around a lot of cool,

crazy people in a crazy business. So yeah, we'll get there eventually. Chris, you mentioned earlier not being in a rush. You know who wasn't in a rush this weekend? Mike McDaniel and the Dolphins. It was a strange game for them, right? Where normally it's just fast, fast, fast here, try to get an 80 yard touchdown.

If not, it's a three and out, turn the ball over. And they have a lot of possessions. This week we saw kind of something different from McDaniel in the Dolphins offense where they had really long drawn out drives. They had eight, nine minute drives. I think they only had the ball five or six times the entire game.

They scored all of them except the one leading into the half where they ran out the clock. Is this kind of what they're gonna have to do to make things work? Well, yeah, it's who they are. have to do? Yes, yes. To make things work? Well yeah, it's who they are. It's kind of cool, right? Like you know, you always heard that phrase like three yards in a cloud of dust, right? From like a running football team. You know, it's not dust, but it's like three yards in a cloud because they're just, you know, they're literally playing that way through the pass game. It's like a ball control passing offense is what I've kind of said

to people over the last few weeks. Even the week before that against the Rams it was similar. And then of course the week before that against the Arizona Cardinals it's not big plays right? We've talked about it. They're gonna they're gonna just surgically destroy you. A lot of four, eight, five, four, run the ball, run the ball, screen, run it again, do all that, chew up the clock. They're pretty efficient doing that. Going to go down and get points. And then you're going to lean on your defense and your defense kind of plays the same way where it's like, well, we're going to make you go the long way and

the hard way. And we think that one of those plays of the 10 yard drive, you'll mess up and we'll get a turnover. You'll get so far behind the chains that you won't be able to get a first down. They're playing that way. It's effective. It fits their football team. I think they'll I think they'll win easily this week against the Patriots because of that.

PFT with Mike Florio every day on Peacock, the on button podcast as well. Football Night in America. Chris, are the Bengals going to fuck up Joe Burrows prime? Well, I mean, I hope not. I mean, of course, they they fucked up this year. That's for sure. Yeah. But you can't say that about other years. So, this is the first year of like where you can probably put the the onus on the the Bangles organization going. You didn't make the proper moves. You

didn't handle certain situations in the off season the right way and that's why you're sitting here at four and seven and really probably gotta run the table. Maybe can lose one game maybe but yeah you know not addressing some of the defensive issues and being able to evaluate that at the end of training camp going man we need more depth on the D line maybe we need to get another corner in the group to help our secondary of course the Jamar chase contract situation was definitely a distraction. So that is all on the Bengals and ownership and the front office and all of that. Hopefully,

they don't do that next year. But you know, I mean to your points to God, this is definitely one where you can put on them for sure. No question about it. How about Josh Allen? Did he win the MVP on that kind of walk off touchdown run against Kansas City? I know Kansas City got the ball back but. Yeah, no, no, I don't think it's like MVP. I don't think he wins the MVP yet. It was a great moment though for him, man.

It was a great moment. And him and Lamar, I mean, again, I'm not going to be, we can't be, you know, recency biased, right? Lamar has been MVP awesome highlight show almost every week the whole year. This last game, of course, it was the Steelers. They got his number. He didn't play his best either.

So there's a little of all that. But I think as you do look at it, I do think it's those two guys right now, as far as the leaders, the guys in the leader house there, as far as the MVP conversation. And I will say that I think last week is a landmark moment to your points, to God's in that in this way. I, I don't like the, the bills are real this year. This is the most real team they've had

in a while. If they play the chiefs in the playoffs, I'm going to say it, right? This might come back to bite me. They're going to beat the chiefs in the playoffs this year too. Wow. This was the first time the Chiefs couldn't just play, let's just stop Josh Allen and we'll win the game. The Bills have other guys now. Oh, you want to play man to man and put everybody in the box and stop the Josh Allen run or our run game? Oh, Amari Cooper or Khalil Shakir will beat you in man to man coverage. Sorry. You don't have Legerrius Snead anymore. Your defense isn't as good. The Bill's O line is so good that when the Chiefs play at a vanilla defense, they get pushed around and moved

around. And then we know the Chief's offense is not good. So yeah, I think the Bills are going to be in this. They're going to be in the race for the number one seed. I would say they're the best team in the AFC. The Chiefs things guy is crazy. 40 years of football intuition wants to tell me they can't do this and go to the Super Bowl.

Play defense, just get it done type of thing. Except they had a five year game run at the end of last year that they did it. So you're scared to say that, but I just find that it'll be hard to replicate and what the way they're playing right now on the offensive side of the ball, especially. I've said it every year, just keep saying it until you get it right and then hold that one up you know.

Well this one's got real flaws to it that's where you know last year and real challengers Chris real challengers. Exactly right and last year Kelsey was a better player than he is this year he's you know he's on the downward trend of his career. At this time of the year last year we saw Rasheed Rice starting to come along going ooh he's got something to him here watch out. Right now there's nobody coming along that I say ooh watch out. We might see Xavier Worthy here and there and all that I get it. The Chiefs when they just rush four they can't really get after the quarterback and like I said without luxurious need people have forgotten about that. They had Legerrius Snead and McDuffie,

I would say two of the top four corners in football on their team last year. They could basically just go, hey, nine guys stopped the run. These two guys will cover the other guy, the receivers. No worries. They don't do that now. There's some different issues there.

And yeah, I don't think they're as good as last year. Chris, is it possible we're looking at a situation in which, and I can't believe I'm saying this, where Bo Nix might be the best quarterback out of this quarterback class? I don't think it's like crazy to think that. He's got skills. This is where like, this is where the draft evaluators and all that got to stop looking at the college offense and drafting the offense, right? They only throw screens. He must not have a very strong arm.

Well, wait, what about the four 25 yard lasers he threw during the game? Just going to discount those, right? So decipher through it, work a little bit. That's what I don't get. And that's why everybody, everybody I talked to, all he did was throw screens. Now they're talking about Dylan Gabriel this year

who's doing the same thing and they're like, hey, he's gonna win the Heisman, he's the best player in college football. It's like, it makes, it's just like, so why? That's awesome, but this wasn't? Like what the hell is everybody talking about? So it's ass backwards with that kind of shit there. He's got, he's an incredible athlete, he's very smart,

he's played football, he's accurate as hell, and his arm is way stronger than people gave it credit for. And all they do is throw power throws. So the greatest offensive mind we've seen in football over the last 20 years, he liked the guy and every throw they throw is like 25, 30 yards down the field. He obviously thinks his arm's strong enough. And yes, you gots, they're gonna be here. They can go to the playoffs. I would bet they're going to be in the playoffs. And he's got a good chance of winning rookie of the year.

So you're saying, who are you calling out there? Are you calling out GM? I'm calling out all the draft, it's all I ever heard. I still hear it. I still hear people on certain texts I'm on where they'll watch Bo Nix for a minute and they'll send a screenshot of his stats from the first quarter of a game and go I can't believe this guy was drafted in the first round and I want to send the text at the end of the game to

go oh they f***ing won and he threw for 70% 300 you don't know what you're talking about that's what I want to you know say to some of these idiots on my group text. Do it. Do it. I know. Well, I do it. I usually end up just saying it in person. Big dog. Don't worry. Yeah, big dog. Big dog.

What did you make of Joe Douglas being let go by the Jets this past week here? I mean, I'm not surprised. I feel bad for Joe Douglas in some ways, right? There's just so many issues there with the Jets. And here's my first thing is the talent on the team, which the GM was responsible for. I mean, nobody in football would sit here and go, oh, the Jets don't have any talent. I mean, there's a lot of teams in football that go,

oh, I trade the Jets roster for my roster right now. Right? Like I'll do it. They got a lot of great stuff. The thing that hurt him. There's two things his in or his, his some of the bad coaching hires. You could say that right from the very start. Zach Wilson, he gets a defensive head coach and Robert Salah first time head coach has no idea how

to kind of bring along a young quarterback. Of course, you can get into then I think so you can get into the coaching stuff there, offensive coordinators through those times, all of that. And then you can also get into the Aaron Rodgers thing. And when they brought in Aaron Rodgers, they anointed him King of the organization. And it's very rarely King of the organization works. That doesn't work in football, right?

Tom Brady and the Patriots were awesome. Why? Because Bill Belichick was king and Brady was the general. And that's when football works. Right? As awesome as Peyton Manning was as a sheriff, right? He still wasn't the king. Tony Dungy was the f***ing king. He was the sheriff. And that king at quarterback never has worked, never will. Even when Brady went to Tampa Bay, Bruce Arians was still King. He made everybody know that that was the case. And even in the Chiefs right now, Patrick Mahomes is maybe the greatest thing

we've ever seen at quarterback. This King is still Andy Reid. And so those would be the mistakes I look at or Joe Douglas that led to his demise. So what's the order? It's King, Sheriff, General. Where are General and Sheriff in the whole situation. I think general is ahead of sheriff in the pecking order.

It just depends. It depends. Payton's from the south, so I went with sheriff. I don't know. It just seemed like it was better that way. Alright. That makes sense. I have no idea. Either way, it's very high ranking and you should listen to them, that's my point. Alright. Jets don't even have a Duke. Yeah, you don't even have a Duke. You don't even have a deputy. You guys are, you guys got a crap. You got a traffic officer, that's what you got.

We can't even fire a 30 and 64 GM the right way. We can't even do that. Yeah, no, no, yeah, you can't do a lot of things the right way, I know, Mikey. Chris, is that gonna be a good job, the Jets job? Because there's weapons, you just can't do a lot of things the right way. I know Mikey. Chris, is that going to be a good job? The Jets job? Cause there's weapons. You just don't have a quarterback it seems,

because if you read the reports, Aaron's not going to be back next year. Woody didn't want him to be here this year. So what do you want that job? I saw the article Mikey A wrote about, you know, Rogers not throwing the ball down the field. And like, man, it's good work, Mikey A. I mean, spot on.

Appreciate that. He's got it all from you. It like, man, it's good work, Mikey. I mean, spot on. I appreciate that. He got it all from you. I mean, it was, well, it was great. And he did a deeper dive into it and got in the numbers even farther than me there. And like, I mean, again, to only throw the ball in the air over 10 yards four times last week, you should be like fired just because of that. The current NFL, you threw four passes over 10 yards against the CULTs and events. Like, are you trying to win or are you protecting your numbers? current NFL you threw four passes over 10 yards against the **** defense like are you trying to win or are you protecting your numbers that's again it goes back to that conversation it's that that's a that's part of the problem

again when you play jet we play defense against the Jets you just got to worry about runs and little short passes to the outside that's all you got to worry about Chris I'm interested in your thoughts on this am Am I crazy to be okay with Woody Johnson? Because last year, if you remember the criticism, hold on a sec, if you remember that criticism of, hey, we don't have a backup in case Aaron gets hurt and Aaron

got hurt and they didn't have a backup and we mocked them the entire season. So this year, they went out of their way to get Tyrod Taylor, who was a legitimate backup in the NFL. He has started many games in the NFL. And's been playing at Tyrod Taylor who was a legitimate backup in the NFL. He has

started many games in the NFL and so Woody who jet fans criticized for not taking this thing seriously, not paying attention, not caring the way the fan base cares. He recognized that Aaron wasn't playing well, wasn't throwing

the ball down the field and had the audacity as the owner to walk into an office that he owns and say, hey, how about Tyron Taylor instead of Aaron Rodgers? I'm okay with that, Chris. And the fact that Joe Douglas and Salah were protecting a guy that has no business being protected by the Jets is absurd. I hear you there. And back to the Jets, when people want to be,

is that a good job? Yes, it's a good job. But there's gonna be people out there that go, I don't know if I wanna deal with Woody Johnson in the quarterback issue. That'll be a thing. It will, whether that's fair or not. And to your point here, right?

I think a lot of what you say there is right. But what I will push back against is, and what we've heard, the timing of that and him saying that was 10 days after I heard the whole Jets fan base like, have you ever seen a quarterback be able to read defense like Aaron Rodgers? Oh my gosh, what he did against the Patriots. He was like, he called their defense before they called their defense. Oh my, it was like, how does he see it so quickly? Oh my gosh and then 10 days later you want to bench him. That's where I can't get behind that. Okay. I was one of them by the way.

Well, right. So, it's everybody was. I'm not trying to get on you. So was I. But but so but so like but if that conversation went down two weeks ago, I'd be like, oh yeah, that's justifiable. The quarterback Suckey right now, maybe they need to put somebody else in. Right. Right. I don't think you're crazy with that thought. I just don't think the timing of that thought and what Woody has said, you know, we think he has said whatever through the rumor, well, that I don't think that timing is correct. Speaking of Suckey quarterbacks in New York, what did you make of the decision of

bench Daniel Jones, but not for Drew Lock who they brought in to be the number two, but for Tommy Cutlets? Oh, I know. Well, I mean, I'm not surprised by the Daniel Jones thing, right? With the 23 million injury guarantee, we all knew

this was coming. I didn't know if it was going to come this week right away. I thought maybe they'd try to maybe try to win a game or two with Daniel Jones and then put him on ice just to make the week right away. I thought maybe they'd try to maybe try to win a game or two with Daniel Jones and then put them on ice just to make the record look better. I didn't know how it was going to shake out.

Now, the reason Tommy DeVito is getting pushed is all about dollars and cents in the fan base. It's a total business decision. That's what it is. How did that goes over in the locker room? I don't know. There's definitely be certain people that go damn, so we're just not going

to play the better player now? The guy that we've seen in practice be the number two that we talked about benching the first guy for to put in, and then we're gonna put the third guy over all of them? Like, there's gonna be guys in the locker room. Like, what the hell is that? But hey, it's Tommy DeVito, he does have a following, he's a Jersey guy.

The fans up here are frustrated with the Giants, and they've been clamoring for Tommy DeVito. He does have a following. He's a Jersey guy. The fans up here are frustrated with the Giants and they've been clamoring for for Tommy DeVito. So the Giants owners and front office gave them what they want. And I think it's just as simple as that, Mikey. Is Brian Dayball in trouble? Is he on the hot seat with this? I think so. I think so. How could they not all be? I think again, how the year ends and how they play for Brian Dayball down the stretch and what he does on the offensive side of the ball is all going to go into that first meeting evaluation right after the season's over to where it goes. Now where I will go crazy

and you'll hear me next week is if they break out some different offenses because this is a pet peeve of mine. Oh, we have a good quarterback. He's our starter. This is our offense. Then we get to the backup or the third stringer, and they go, hey, we got to help them out. We got to do some more trick plays.

We got to do this, do that, that. And I always come on with Oreo and go, why the f*** couldn't they've done that with the starting quarterback? Like, why? There was a rule like, oh, that play was too good. We don't want to do that to our starting quarterback. And that's where I will go crazy this week.

And I won't be surprised if we watch. We'll see some of that crap this week. Well, the Giants will be creative all of a sudden. And Daniel Jones will be on the sideline going, we couldn't call this play when I was in the game? So we'll see where that goes. PFT with Mike Florio every day on Peacock, the Unbuttoned podcast as well, Football Night in America.

I will get you out of here in just a second, Chris. I'm wondering if you're in charge of the Dallas Cowboys, who is the person you're hiring to run that organization? Oh, I know. Who? It's a tough one. I mean, I go back to my like same, I mean, again, I don't think a Bill, I mean, a Bill Belichick would be horrible there. I think they could use a guy that get the whole organization in order. I look at that, you know, my love of Mike Vrabel and everything there, but do they change it up? Do they try to go some young, unproven offensive guy to add some life and juice to their football team? I really don't know where it goes but there are disaster. You know their offense is not good. They're

starting quarterbacks out. They have one receiver they can worry about. They can't run the football and their defense is just okay and I of course expect them to lose this week against the commanders by a touchdown or two and and that one. How about the Jets? Who would you hire there like because Balachek doesn't want that job. No, there's no. Which job would you rather have? Oh, shoot. Who would you hire there? Like, because Belichick doesn't want that job. No, there's no. Which job would you rather have? Ooh. I would

probably rather have the Jets job. I agree. The Jets one is the one where I look at and go that's, and I think we said this last week, that's where I look at Mike Vrabel. Mike Vrabel, they need to have a guy that's going to go in there and go,

no, no, no, no. This is how it's going down in the facility. This is how it's going down in the facility. This is how it's going down in the practice field. I've been around football my whole life. We're gonna worry about this and this and football and football and football and not hard knocks and press conference. And we're cool.

And our rookie and second year players are gonna make state of the union addresses all the time and tell us how the state of the team is. To me, you know, I'm a big variable fan. He'd be top of my list in a lot of places. My Stu gots. What's the top job? Jets? Cowboys, Bears. Gosh. Oh, I think the Bears would probably be that. The Bears have a lot of young talent and you have the

quarterback but damn, I mean, as we look at it right now, there's going to be seven, eight job openings, I think, right? Yeah, I do but the Bears one, I think, will be one that is like the offensive play caller ones, the Ben Johnsons of the world. They're all going to go, oh, I'd like to go to Chicago. We improved that offensive line. We maybe get one more receiver.

Oh, watch out for us. I think that would be towards the top of the list. Well, there's also possibly, I mean, not officially yet, but I mean, we assume it's going to happen. The Jaguars with your beloved Trevor Lawrence might be out here. Well, yeah, it could be. There's a lot of people that believe that's what part of the reason Ben Johnson put 52 on the Jaguars last week with the Lions, right? I had a lot of juice to show them. Well, again, that's not going to be the worst job in the world. People are going to look at that and go, wait, there's really only to go up.

Right. They the quarterback again, I understand you questioning him, Billy, but we have seen him do it. Like we've seen him go on a playoff run and make some magical games and game winning comebacks, had the Chiefs on the road. So there's enough evidence to go, oh, I think I can make it work with this guy. I know maybe not everybody's going to believe that, but I still think that Jaguars as a whole, they got a lot of young pieces too. They certainly shouldn't have the record they have right now with

the talent on that team. Chris, the team that's starting to scare me, last one for me, the Chargers, because you have Justin Herbert, who's a great quarterback, but he's simply not turning the ball over. He's got one interception, I think, the entire year. If he continues to do that, it doesn't matter how many touchdown passes he throws for, that defense is so f***ing good that if he could just not turn the ball over, that team could go far in the playoffs,

man. They're made for the playoffs. Yes. They're made for it. Yes. They're made for tough, physical, 23-20, 2017 divisional playoff game and cold weather, whatever. The Broncos are similar that way. They just have a rookie quarterback. The Steelers are a little that way too, but I think the Chargers are the best version of all of them. Joe Burrow and the Bengals didn't crack the code last week. I did a full breakdown of this on my Wednesday podcast, Chris Sims on Button. When I watched the bill, I mean, Joe Burrow and Chase and Higgins just made some absolute baller plays, period.

That's all there is to it wasn't like the next like the Ravens this week are like, oh, they cracked the code. Now we know how to attack there. We got it. We got it. No, not at all. Their defense is phenomenal. Right. You said it about Herbert. They can run the ball. They got it. We got it. No, not at all. Their defense is phenomenal, right? You said it about Herbert. They can run the ball. They got I think they're dangerous. I think they the Chargers are one of the top teams. I actually picked them to beat the Ravens this week in LA. And again, I

wouldn't bet on that, but I'm going to take them to win by like three points. I am. Well, you concerned about the Ravens at all? Because if they lose that game, they're sitting at six and five, I think I've been concerned about the Ravens. The Ravens don't play through the run enough and I you know, I banged on the table forever about that and I understand they get away with it some weeks because they're so good and they can get away with it. But like, you know, there was

a game the other day where the run game was there and they just there's a little reluctance to call it and ride with it a little bit. Agreed. They got to do that when they play through the run and we don't notice they play through the run. We go, whoa, look at all these yards and points and I go, well, yeah, look at the start of the game. They ran the ball, they gashed them and then it just all wide opens up and they don't do that. They're reluctant to do that at times. And of course, I'm scared of their defense. Their defense stinks. And that's why it's like, there'll never be a game that's not close as long as they're

playing a team that's in the upper half of football. It'll be a close game with the Ravens because everybody can throw the football on them and I think really you can run the ball on them a little better than people think too. It's just people want to throw it every play because it's it's easy pickings that way. Alright, man. We appreciate it. My apologies for being late. PFT with Mike. Oh, it's okay. Books to sell. Wanted to apologize. Pft

with Mike Floreo. Uh everyday on Peacock. The Unbuttoned Podcast as well. Football Night in America. They have the Rams. They have the Eagles. They have the NFL Coach of the Year, Nick Sirianni. Chris Sims. Guys, big week coming up next week. We get

the Thanksgiving Day Sims football game preview. I mean, this is very exciting. Lock it in. Lock it in. Big year. First time Big Phil will be there in years. Wow. Big Phil's going to be there. What's going to go down there? Oh my god. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, if he's playing, he becomes full-time quarterback. Oh boy. I was going to say an auto QB for you. I mean, is that right? Well, I'll be running

routes. That releases a weapon crossfit weapon That's what the Vegas is not sure what the line of the game is yet because of the quarterback situation And they want to check my physical status after CrossFit. They know I might be a notch above most years So I'm dangerous. I'm like Tyree kill out there this year. What about your brother Matt? Is he playing? Oh Yeah, he'll play. He'll play. The big thing with my brother and them is will they get there before it's dark? Right.

Always. My sister and brother, like the last few Thanksgivings, they get there, and we can barely play because it's f**king dark outside. So hopefully I can get them there earlier today. Can you imagine, Phil, if he tells Chris to go on a 10-yard in route and Chris goes out? Can you imagine? Oh my god, Phil is gonna mother you dude. Seriously, seriously. I'll hear it from my house. Or I'll start taking over and be like no no do this do this and be like will you shut up Christopher? Now, now just imagining, I'm imagining Phil throwing balls at hospital balls out there where Chris is sending

his nephews to the hospital. He's just targeting all of that. Maybe, maybe he better be careful. All right, we'll get the full preview next week. We might have to have big garage just to preview the game. That'd be good. Actually I'll reach out and see if we can get them on there. Oh, that'd be so much fun.

All right, check them out. PFT with Mike Florio, the Unbuttoned podcast as well. Football Night in America. Again, they have they have the Rams coming up against Nick Sirianni and the Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday night. It's a pretty good game. Both teams still in contention. The Eagles, one of the better teams in the NFL. We appreciate it, buddy. Looking forward to next week. Always guys. Be good. Have a good weekend. Enjoy the games.

Who is that that just joined? Who the fuck is that? Are we recording? Carl, my man, baby, I missed you, buddy. Man, come on. Man, I've been missing you. I've been talking.

You're just not the same without you. I know. I know. I have some family stuff with my son, but it's all good. Thank you, though. That's a story. OK. And that's the story.

He's got a low key problem. I listen to both shows, so I wrote down a couple notes. You wrote down notes on the show. He's back. Yeah. What notes did you write down, K-Funk? Don't mind us asking. Is Mojo on?

I want to wait until he gets on. He's not here yet. We'll wait for Mojo so you can give us your notes on what we do. It also is quite coincidental, K-Funk, that you're coming on after having a three and two week, and there's having a three and two week and there's a first three and two week you've had in months. I was three and two the last two weeks when I wasn't on, right? Yeah, I mean you seem to be doing better when you're not here than when you are here.

Yeah. That's been a trend on the show this year, that's interesting. That should be studied, I think. Yeah, when Mojo doesn't come on and he goes opposite me, he wins. When he makes his own picks, he loses. Yeah, it's the same. I mean, Carl's hot streak started when he wasn't on the show. I turned around when I wasn't on the show.

Exactly. So Gordy, did you have a good week last week? Well, I know last, what, two weeks ago. Yeah, same thing happened. We all went three and two except Mojo. I think Mojo went two and three. No, there was someone else who didn't go three and two and it was Carl Douglas who went four and one last week.

Four and one. Hey, hey, hey, hey. He's immune to the show now. Nice Carl. Shake hands with Carl. Are we recording now? We are recording. I will share with all of you this information. After Carl's four and one week and Mojo's two and three week

We have a new head of the leaderboard here. So if we go to the standings Carl has now surpassed Mojo in the standings at 30 20 and one Carl has a 598 win percentage after a two and three week Mojo has fallen down to 32 22 and 2 and he has a 589 win percentage Also a very slow path, but we got here Mike Rollis is back at 500 at 20 and 20 And I love Mike Mike's awesome for especially that he talks about mojo I love that water. Let me ask you a question. And I love Mike, Mike's awesome for, especially the shit that he talks about Mojo, I love that. Here we go. Let me ask you a question, that 0-5 week of Mike's,

did we just delete that from the? What 0-5 week of Mike's? He went 0-5 one week and we just deleted it. No, all of his weeks have counted so far. Okay, all right. Hey Mike, props to you baby, I love you. The only weeks of Mike that didn't count were his first three weeks that he missed

that he went 15 and 0, we didn't count those. If that was the case, he'd be 35 and 20, so. All right, continue on. Yeah. Well, then we also had. I mean, I was. We had a little bit of movement at the bottom of the rankings as well,

where, well, ShareBear's staying kind of where he's right been the entire season. He's 24, 30 and two 2 he has a 431 win percentage and Gordy Has passed K func He passed him a couple weeks ago and had the exact same record as K func last week at three and two each of them So Gordy's 21 34 and 2 is a 386 win percentage and K func

Thanks to all of his college games that he sends us that lose. He has 21-35-2 with a 379 win percentage. Alright, well that's, like I said, those college games don't count, so let's get those off. I'll talk to my attorney Carl on this one, because first of all, I'm two and, if you look at the group... I agree. I agree. I'm with you. The college game, Billy, come on, the college game don't count. Well hold on a second. You gotta take it off of mine, because I took with you. I'm with you. The college game, Billy. Come on, the college game. Don't count. Well, hold on a second. You gotta take it off of mind

because I took his picks. Carl, I never said. Okay, perfect. Hey, let me talk. Carl, I never said anything about, hey, this is for the show. We have a group chat where we talk to each other about

everything and I said, oh, I bet on this game. I bet on this game. I'm not once involved at any show. Billy and Mikey A just. You gave your own hashtag. Thank you, Cave Funk. Yeah. not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not.

I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not.

I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not going to be hard to Can I talk to you? Can I talk? Yes or no? All right, can I speak? Yes or no? Okay, just listen. One of the games I did say it was my locker the week that had nothing to do with the show. That was my gambling. I put my hard earned money into that, okay?

Second of all, second of all, the two wins, the two wins that I posted on the group chat, Billy did not count. He only counted the two losses. So I find that well- I don't know about that. I mean, it's funny, because when I went to the group chat, Billy did not count. He only counted the two losses. So I don't know about that. Well, I mean, it's funny cuz when I went to the casino and I said, can I have my money back because they don't count for the show? They seem to say no, that they can't have it back. I told you I'd pay you.

I told you I'd give you your money back. You pay him? I'm saying I told him I'd pay for his bet. I felt bad. Why? Why you feel bad? Why you feel bad? I'm not going to make your state universities. I know, I heard about that one, right, right, right. We should have known. J-Fuck, that one alone should be enough to crucify you. But really, in fairness, if you're gonna count as losses, you have to count as wins as well. Correct.

We'll look into it. Well, no, because Carl, this is what happened, is this is what was going on. Is that because he was doing so poorly, he would give us his lock of the week, like shortly after we would record or like early in the day. And then once things started going south, he would then give us like an additional five games

and it got out of control. We're like, Kayfun, you cannot just be coming up with all of these games to try to improve your record. That's not how it works. None of this had anything to do with my record. It's on our group chat. I was talking about gambling and I only did four picks total and I went two and two. None

of that had to do with the show, dude. If I could do it with the show, I would say it right now. I would say, hey, I want to get more games. If I remember correctly and I think Mike, Mojo's not here, but if I remember correctly, I think some of them were like in-game bets as well where games were kind of already in hand.

So my game's already over. Thank you. Yeah. They're already over. See, ShareBear, thank you ShareBear. It was like bit fun back in the future. He got that special book. Exactly right.

Anyway, this has nothing to do with the show. What do you mean? If you count the losses, you got to count the wins. Well, the wins were suspect at best, Carl. At best. Thankfully I have them. I have records and receipts so we'll figure that out. Okay, yeah. Please, actually, you know what? I would like that, Kevon. Can you bring next week all of your receipts and can you give us what you believe your accurate record would be and then maybe Carl? I have no idea what my record is but I'm gonna say it's probably the same as Gordy's because

two weeks ago on the show you said I had the same as Gordy's and I went 3-2 the last two weeks so I don't know how I'm below him now. Well you're only percentage points, mere percentage points below Gordy and it was because of one of your bonus picks so Gordy's 21-34-2 and you're 21-35-2 and it's because one of your bonus picks was a loss. How did I do that week? Well, Gordy and I have the same record and we'll call it a day and we'll move on from here.

Hold on. Otherwise, I'm gonna get Carl involved and you're not gonna like to. You're gonna eliminate a loss? I don't know about that. It's not a loss from the show, Billy. You said counted towards my record specifically. I never said that. I never said counted towards my record. Bulls never said that. I never said counted towards my record.

Bulls**t, let me get this straight. You only want to count the record of picks you made on the show. Yes, NFL picks. We don't do college picks. Well, hold on a second. Hold on. Hold on, Miss America. Billy, I got this.

So you only want the picks you made on the show to count. I got this. So only one. Here we go. Thanks. You made on the show to cap the NFL picks you made on the show. What? No, whatever. Every pick that we make on the show is on the show. You said only NFL. Any pick, any pick on the show is a pick on the show. Oh, okay. And which picks did you make the last two weeks? And the story, huh? Those two, three, and two weeks, which of those picks did you make? I tried to, but Mojo told me that, and Billy, or they told me that Mojo picked for me. Oh.

Well, if he tried to, I guess that- It seems like six and four might need to be erased from the record, but- That's all I'm saying. I'd also say- I'll eliminate those college picks if you get rid of the six and four, too. Right, anyway, getting back to my notes from the show. Hold on, I'd also say- That was pretty good.

Mike, I'm not doing it, but that was, Mike, that was well thought through. I'm not gonna- Whenever you wanna hire me, I'm free tomorrow. That was well thought through. I like that. Abracadabra. I don't agree with it, but I like that. I like that.

Abracadabra. That was a good one. Okay, K-Funk, you said that you have notes on this show. I'm interested in hearing what those notes are exactly. When you were listening to the show, did you hear that an offer was made to remove your record from last week? Now, it was a winning record, so I

don't know if you necessarily want to take us up on that offer. But, hey. No, that wasn't. My main notes were this. One, the first one was just, Mikey A is just such a hater dude. I just Jesus, I mean, I don't know what you guys pay this guy to hate on me. I mean this guy came down to Tampa I wrote on the hashtag. It was the hashtag the right was the hashtag

Hey, I treated this guy like a king in Tampa Love you Just a hater and Billy, you're a little under him, but that was my main. That was my main. That was another. Hey, K-Funk rolls out the carpet.

I'm not going to lie. It would be a great time. It's really does. He really does. Great time. I love you. I love you all. So that was your note.

Just Mikey A's and also my second note is just that everyone's like sweating Mojo. Like he like his record is like he got the record. His three weeks that he went 14 and 1 was just going opposite me. He didn't make the picks. The two weeks that he listened, the two weeks that Mojo made his own picks, he went 0 and 5 and 1 and 4. So to me, he's just, you know, whatever. He has a good scheme going.

That's fine. What is it? He's a paper champion. Exactly he doesn't he's not a spreadmaster he doesn't he's not good when he has to pick under pressure he's good when you know he rides like I was on a cold streak and yeah he rode the cold streak. Well I rode that cold streak with him. He wasn't even on the show he didn't even know who he was picking he was opposite K-Fuck and he signed off. Huh I'm gonna have to look into that. I'm not sure that's exactly how it went. I gotta hear from Mojo. You gotta hear from Mojo.

Where is Mojo, K-Funk? Weren't you in charge of getting him on here? He said he'll be here. Okay, all right. Well, I think Mojo's our only multiple time champion. So I'd be careful the way you're speaking of the spread master K-Funk. Yeah.

Multiple time champion with one. He-Funk. Multiple times, he won. He's won this show multiple times, if I remember correctly. He won the first season and I won the second too, so you're totally... No, I think, if I'm remembering correctly, no, I think Mojo's won two times and I think that you finished second three times, if I remember correctly. I won last year and the year before, nice try though. I don't think that that's how that went. Season two I was 70% StuGott said he's never seen anything like that. I'll consult the record books and I'll have a report for you next week but I don't think that you've won two

years in a row. I don't think you've ever won. Okay well consult the record books. Hey Gordy how are you? I'm fantastic. I've been just listening to some great conversations and smile. Yep, and he's gone. Sherbert did very discreetly ask if we could send him a microphone and a camera this week. No, no, no. Was that your smores idea of all time? How was that discreet? How did you do discreetly? How was it discreetly done? He just said this year for Christmas presents, you should send us microphones and cameras. He wanted like a whole communication package.

Okay. Yeah. No cookies this year. Share Bear. Coconut water, I want us to be for free to use Billy and Stu because they're legends, to get a free tablet and some stuff. Why wouldn't we want to get it? Oh my God.

Wait a minute. Hey! Oh. Mojo,. Wait a minute. Hey! Oh. Mojo, welcome to the party. K-Funk has joined us again this week for the first time in a month and he has been quite defensive. Hey, Funk, how you doing, man?

It's good to see you, pal. Doing well, buddy, doing well. Good to see you too. The show has not been the same without you, Funk. Everybody's missed you. The fans ratings are down. The teams are playing poorly on Sundays. Funk, we we need you, Funk. We missed you and we love you, Funk.

That's we're here for you. Carl already told me, baby. Thank you, though. I told them, Moja, that I believe you're only multiple time winner and the K-Funk has finished second place three different times. K-Funk has said that he has won multiple seasons and you've only won once, so there's a lot being disputed today.

Also, Mojo, Carl went 4-1 last week and he has overtaken first place. He has jumped over you after your 3- two week which is impressive showing by Carl and K-Funk has fallen to last place behind Gordy and he has disputed that as well. Well here's the thing guys this is gonna be K-Funk's moment yes he hasn't won a season yet but that doesn't matter his heart has been there and he's been a valuable part of this show and I think that he's gonna turn this thing around I think he can win this year. I think it's the year of funk. It's time to get funky.

How many people are on this? Let's see, picking games. It looks like there's six. So, K-Funk, I have an idea. So since you're in last place and there's six guys, I propose, and you guys can vote on this, and it's early in the season, but I propose that K-Funk should be

six man of the year this year. Billy, once again, no one's interested in your jargon over here. Well it's a real award in the NBA for the best bench player. Like I said, season two, season three I won. Mojo wasn't even here. Mojo, Chris and Jabba just ditched the show, ran off, said they were not good enough for us and what did I do? I jumped in, oh, Joe, Chris, and Java just ditched the show, ran off, said they were they were not good enough for us. And what did I do?

I jumped in. I grabbed the reins. I invited Sherry. I invited Gordy. I saved the year last year. I saved the year last year. And what do I get out of it? I get Mike Yates talking and

hating on Kate Funk. Oh, I will say that Funk, even though you've always been last in the standingsings you've always been first in our hearts and we love That is true This week too, so okay. What is the special pick this week too. So, it's gonna be my last. What is the special pick this week? It's, well, if you think it's bulls**t, what's the sex of Mojo's baby that's due next week?

So it's not bulls**t. We already know the answer, he told us. No, you did? No, you didn't. Are you kidding me? No. Did you? Mojo. No, did you? Joe I won't say I won't say anything ill about his child, but that guy I got something

Why would you say something ill about his child? I don't know He said yeah, he said he we're doing a gender reveal. Well, he did you weren't here for it? Well, when was this cuz I didn't hear about it. Do you not know what it is? No one tell him. I don't know. I mean, I think I know, but. All right. Well, what do you know about this?

Buccaneers and Giants, Giants plus five and a half K-Funk. I'm not going first every time. So we're good. You have to. No, I don't have to. This way you can't be influenced by anyone else. Come on. I don't mind going first.

I'm very supportive of my friend, Creston Loggerman. Okay, fine. Mojo, you can go first then. Buccaneers at Giants plus five and a half. Yeah, I'll take the bucks. Okay, perfect bucks. And Funk, you're welcome to pick the same team as me if you'd like.

All right, I'll go first. We're not gonna make fun of anybody today. This is a love, I love this. Oh, this is a GBS love. Yeah, if you'd like Yeah, I'll go first on the rest of the picks I'm not dealing with mojo okay, who do you want for this game? Who do you think you think I'm gonna go with I mean as long as much as I like to take Tommy cutlets I can't do that. I'm taking the books. Oh, you're copying mojo. Yeah, so I'll go to first We were just really good friends. We see eye to eye Creston knows half the players on the box and yeah, you know, they like them and they're here for him, too I talked to the head coach today. He said we all support Creston. We got his back

We know he's gonna do a dynamite job with his picks and his friendship means a lot to us. I love that Okay, Gordy, who do you have? Buccaneers or Giants plus five and a half. I'm jumping on the bandwagon. Okay. I'm going with Creston. Everyone supports Dave Long this week. Okay, Share Bear, who do you want to go with?

Thanks, Gordy. You know, Buccaneers that wear, Giants? Yeah, Giants plus five and a half. Loud and last minute, I'm flying to New York tomorrow. Just like I got pickleball in ESPN. You got to hear this bike polo. My buddy's doing the production for bike polos. Got to be at ESPN.

The Ocho is going to be the Kings versus the Queens, the king of Manhattan. Bike polo Manhattan district. I'm going to color commentate. What? It's like, it's like the subway series, Mets versus Yankees. I'm not joking. I'm serious. Okay. I'm not that funny. It's actually serious. Bipolo, baby. So I'm going to be in New York.

So I'm going all giants. I'm all in. All right, Mike. Well, I just wanted to say he just disappeared, but it sounds like Mojo's kind of getting an early jump on. He's getting into his Dean mode here. Yeah. Almost coach mode. It sounds like he's very politically correct. He's coming out like he's given a press conference almost.

And he's back in K-Funk. It's pretty respectable to see. And I'll get on the bandwagon. Mike Evans is supposed to be back this week. I think the Bucs are too good. They beat him by a touch. Are we seeing the beginnings of Daddy Dean? That's what I think.

Yeah. Coach Dean, maybe. Yeah. All right, Carl. I've been called that before, you know. Well, I think this is a different context. I'm going with Dean and Creston, and I'm going to take the Bucs, too. Wow, look at that, K-Funk.

Everyone supports you this week, except ShareBear because of Bike Polo. Hey, I like Tommy. Watch out for Tommy Coler, bro. Yeah. Okay, Kayfunke, you wanted to go first this week, this month so that you're not copying Mojo again? Yeah, sure.

Picking NFL picks history, the reason has been Bike Polo. Yeah, probably. Bro, in four years ago though, pickleball, everyone said the same thing. Yeah. Bike polo, I'm feeling it. And the Kings versus the Queens,

who better to freaking, to start off with? I don't. You got some, you got some, Billy were laughing at me when I was typing out pickleball. Yeah, I support you in all your griffs, but this one, bike polo, I don't think is gonna catch on. Bike polo, imagine just hitting people, Mojo. Bike polo. Look it up, bike polo, it's gonna catch on. Imagine it's hitting people Mojo. Look at Mike Polo, it's unreal. It's unreal.

This seems not like it's gonna catch on. Billy, Billy, 20 years ago, getting to a stranger's car and going somewhere was unthinkable. That is true. That is true. You know? Okay, fine. Maybe Mike Polo.

Yeah, well, by low on Mike Polo, I guess. Okay, K-Funk. I don't know what you guys are talking about. I thought that's what Gorge's shirt was called, the bike polo. I didn't know what was happening. He's an auctioneer. K-Funk, who do you like in this one? 49ers and Packers minus two and a half Packers. Oh, God. This is tough. I I think is the toughest game on there. I want to take the pack at home. Give me the Packers at home. All right, Mojo.

You know, I just think that was a brilliant observation by by Kay Funk. And I think he's on to something here and he's made a career out of sports betting for decades and he always does such a swell job with us. Really, really neato what he's been able to produce here on the show. So I think I will also copy his pick and go with the Green Bay Packers. Wow, look at you guys on the same page. Share Bear, who do you like? Who do the Packers play him?

49ers at Packers, Packers minus two and a half. I had a buddy, my physio, he's actually Gardner Minshaw's physio too. Almost got the Dolphins last week until about a couple rough ones. But I got him some Packers tickets this week. So I had a buddy do me a favor. So I'm gonna go with the pack, give me a favor and let's go to pack this week. All right, Gordyy 49ers or Packers? I would really like to take it at three and the points, but I don't know.

I don't think they're going to get blown out again. Sam Fran has to win. They're too good not to. I'm going to go with Sam Fran. I know it's a West East coast game, but I'm taking the 49ers. All right, Mike. Yeah, I mean, I'm going, it's a West East Coast game, but I'm taking the 49ers. All right, Mike. Yeah, I mean, I'm going, it's interesting. There's a lot of NFC West games that are on the schedule this

late this week. And you know, it's near and dear to my heart. So I'm going to just go with my heart over my mind and go pack as well. OK. Go pack, go. Carl, who do you have? This is a hard one, man.

And even funny because I study this and ShareBear just picks a city because he's going to Black Polo and some shit. Yeah. Amazing, man. I'm not a league. But the Niners have a lot of injuries, man, but I think they're gonna want it more.

So they're gonna cover. I think the Niners have a lot of injuries, man, but I think they're gonna want it more. So they're gonna cover. I think the Niners to cover. Your studies showed you that the 49ers wanted it more. They're gonna win by one or two, he says. Okay, K-FUN. Cardinals at Seahawks, Seahawks minus one. This is another tricky one, and this is to me is kind of a coin flip too. There's three coin flip games here, but I am going to go with my guy, Rollis here. His brother, man, I tell you ever since I talked shit about his brother, he's been putting

it on. So give me the Arizona there. Yeah. Did you, I don't know if you witnessed, if you were here for that, but I apologize on behalf of everyone. Okay. I listen to the show when I'm not on. Okay. Is there anything else that you would like to add to that, K-Funk? Yeah. But I apologize on behalf of everyone okay Okay anything else that you would like to add to that K funk yeah the apology episode yeah

In your notes did you take any apology notes additional apologies that you'd like to add Make sure you have the chance. You know yeah,. To Rollis for saying his brother sucked. That was like a month ago. I like that. Well, that's the last time you were on. Long time ancient history in NFL years. You know, I like them now. I'm team Rollis now.

Okay, love it. Mojo. Who do you like this with Cardinals at Seahawks minus one? You know, I just I just want my guy K-Funk over there because I also insulted Rollis' brother. Well really, Rollis, mostly Rollis, but his brother by default. And you know, maybe I should take a page

out of K-Funk's book just because he's such a, you know, humble humble gracious human being so I think I'll follow Creston's pick once again. Okay wow this is incredible. Okay Carl who do you like in this one Cardinals at Seahawks minus one and a half? You know the Cardinals are playing really good ball right now they may even win the division. I have James Connor and Marvin Harrison on my fantasy team so I'm going with the Cardinals as well. Okay Mike do I even need to ask you? No but I just wanted to ask Carl if he in his research saw that the Seahawks don't have power at their facility currently. They're practicing without power.

In the rain, the boom cyclone is coming through that's what's going on. the game. And it's a game without power so. The rain rain the both cyclones coming through that's what's going on. Well like sabotage yeah or adversity to overcome yeah yeah it could rally around it but I'm going cards all right

forty- Carl I was just wondering- it didn't sound like you did much research for that game. It just sounded like you picked that team because of your fantasy guys You know what I Went with Rollins because the first time I You know, I loved a Z. It wasn't Rollets that insulted us. AZ insulted us that week and they've been on fire since. Mm-hmm. I gotta roll with AZ. I think they're gonna blow them up.

I don't know why. I just, I don't think it's gonna be a tight game. I know it's a division game. All right, ShareBear. Murray's good. Thank you, Nadel. I mean, it's a tough one. I like Spears and Nadel, but God,

many Grong Beach events, you know? I mean, you gotta love Scottsdale. I mean, you's a tough one, I like Speas and Nato, but God. I've had many Grong Beach events, you know? I mean, you gotta love Scottsdale, I mean, you got some egos. What a great spot, Ryan House, I mean, Old Town, Tokamodera, God. But I've been looking at the weather right now and now it looks like it's gonna be raining hard in Seattle on Sunday. And you guys are gonna probably say, they're playing doors. But that doesn't matter, it really affects the whole flow of the game. They're playing doors and the rain like the way the fans are.

And I was happy to go. I'm gonna go with, I'm gonna go with Seattle. I don't think the away teams are gonna like the rain. Okay. It's the bus, it's just tough. It's just- In the dome. You know what I mean? It messes up the way, you know, the transportation from the hotel,

it just messes things up. Yeah. I'm happy to see that it's not everyone's on the cards so thank you ShareBear. Yeah. I'm not on the cards but just you know the city you know. We got grunt beats this year in New Orleans or what's up? Yeah, what is going on with that? Unfortunately, I don't like this. Yeah, there has been a change of plan.

Oh no. No. I know. I'm gonna let you talk to your best friend, Dan Mojo. No. Is this Dan's fault? No. I just don't. I don't think that it felt like it be in the city to do this year. So, there has never been a better city, I think for Gronk Beach. Yeah. Maybe you should have a discussion with that. I don't want to be part of this. You know how I feel about Gronk Beach. Let's get rid of Rob and let's make this like Gordy

Beach. That's a party anyways. Oh, just all beads. Just just control the whole upstairs. Oh, Gronk Beads. Yeah, and have like a little like a little, a little thing that lifts you up, like the power thing and you just bring the girls and lift up and come on up, lift them up, come on up. Yeah, change the name Gronk beads.

We'll get on this. The lineman, the lineman. You're onto something, you're onto something buddy. I don't care if the G is being created, it's amazing to watch you guys talk. Abracadabra. I don't care if the Super Bowl is in Minnesota, you can do it at Grong Beach. You know the good thing is there's a lot of people that throw up at Grong Beach, but now if it's in New Orleans, nobody cares because Barman is part of the culture.

It's literally caged on the streets. That is true. Alright K-Funk, who do you like in this one? Eagles at Rams plus two and a half. I'm taking the Rams in this one. Okay, Mojo? You know what? I, I,

Funk, is it okay if I take opposite you here, buddy? Is that okay? Yeah. Okay, guys, I can't do the same pick as Funk every week. I think he made a sensational pick. I know he did his homework and he worked really hard as Funk. I think he made a sensational pick. I know he did his homework and he worked really hard on this and he's gonna do a good job but I'm gonna take Philly please.

You've been supportive enough I think. Gordy, who do you like? This is a tough matchup. I wish it was that three again. My college roommates are all from Philly. They're playing good right now. I know it's a tough game, East West Coast but I'm going that three again. My college roommates are all from Philly. They're playing good right now. I know it's a tough game, east to west coast, but I'm going to Philly.

OK, Carl, who do you like? Of course, man, Rams. All right, the Rams. Getting better, getting better, getting healthier. Maybe I should switch. Carl's on fire. Can I switch my pick? Oh, sure.

You can switch. So you want the Rams now? Yeah, Carl's on fire. This guy's doing great. There you go, G-Man. There you go. All right. Mike, who do you like?

You know, my brother coached for the Eagles a couple of years ago when they went to the Super Bowl. And I was flying back on the flight from my wrestling show over to the Super Bowl with a bunch of Eagles fans from the East Coast. And when they're not on your team, you hate them. But it's fun to be a part of that fan base when you're on the same side and all that to say,

really I just need them to beat the Rams for the Cardinals sake, I'm going Eagles. Okay, Share Bear. I feel like Mojo's got a wedding coming up and he needs a babysitter, that's why he's being so nice to Funk. I have a feeling. He's married, Share Bear.

I know. Not his wedding, he's saying another one. It's like's like another it's near Tampa. He needs a babysitter. He's got to be a reason why he's being so nice. Yeah. I like, I want to see what happens. I like it. Something good. Something good's happening here. Um, I am, uh, you know, the Eagles, um, my good old friend, the underdogs, she had a big week. She is the leader in the clubhouse, right? With, with picks. I think that is true town a

Couple days here. She said she might get a little uh once we hit a twin peaks so Alright perfect last game k-funk Ravens and Chargers Chargers plus three Tell you what Billy you pick some good ones this week This one's tough to another toss up here Billy say thank you to Funk for that. No, there's more to it than that, Sherwin. I gave K-Funk also the option to pick the games yet again and he declined on that, so. Yeah, I don't need any advantage here, you know?

Well, I don't know that it would help you. It's just tough, I mean, I, charges are hot, Baltimore just lost, give me the Ravens. Okay Ravens. Mojo? You know I just still really feel guilty about going opposite funk last week. I don't know if I'm going to be able to sleep at night.

Obviously I'm going to go back to the good state of Maryland over here and I'll take the Ravens as well. Okay. Share Bear? Were they playing? Ravens as well. Okay, Share Bear. Were they playing? Ravens at Chargers. Chargers plus three. San Diego's a great spot, you know?

Yeah. Even though they're playing. They're L.A. now. Yeah, they're L.A. now. It doesn't matter. They still, I still feel San Diego. I used to love going to San Diego and hanging out with Seiler

and then going to Tijuana, missing the game. But he didn't know I missed the games as long as I was back by the time they finished the game, finished press conferences. He would never have known I was in Tijuana. So I'm going to go with the Chargers. All right, Gordy, who do you have?

Ravens at Chargers, Chargers plus three. I got like the Ravens too good. Let's go. Okay. Ravens. Rollis, who do you like? Well, it's a Harbaugh Bowl. No one said that yet.

And this is not a traditional Pick'em show. It's kind of a weird Pick'em show. And so I'm going to err on the side of the weird Harbaugh here. And I'm going to take the points and the Chargers. OK, Carl. It's a tough one because everybody who's in LA who loves the Rams hate the Chargers.

I think the Ravens need to win more. They can't go two losses in a row. I'm taking the Ravens. Get on the points. All right. Wow. What a week, guys. This was a lot of fun.

Who has something to promote? Mojo, you have something to promote? Mojo, is he here? So what's going on? I still don't believe you guys that Mojo told you what the baby was, so. What do you mean? I don't believe it. OK.

OK. Let's hear it. We'll hear what? What's the sex of the baby? Well, hold on. I mean, that's I mean, maybe it was an off air conversation we had and he's not ready to do this on air. OK, Funk.

You could just reach out to him as a friend and ask him. You think he told you before he would tell TMZ? It's a fair point by you. Mojo. Okay, Mojo, do you have anything you want to promote this week? Mike, do you want to promote your website? Sure. Rawlisregimen.com. Go get a custom workout. We'll tune it to exactly what you need. All right, Gordy. My good friends, this mojo would start over at Pig Viper. I just want to give them a shout out for always making me look so classy and smooth, especially last night at my brother's legacy Hall of Fame event at TD Garden. I look fabulous.

Thank you, Pit Viper for always making me look fresh. Mocho, you want to promote anything? Yeah, I'd like to promote something that's very near and dear to my heart. And that's that's my good buddy,Funk, Creston Loggerman. You know, this is gonna be the week of the funk. We know we've all been waiting for it. Honestly, he's such a good guy that I think he's made this record this bad

just to shine us all up and make us all feel good about ourselves and give us a moment every week. But I think the time has come where he's gonna flip the script and that's gonna be this week. And that's why we're all standing by our guy and supporting him, because we need Funk to do better.

And it's gonna happen, we know it. Is Funk gonna be the Godfather? Is he in the vote for the big pick of the Godfather? Oh, great question, Shear Bear. I mean, is he in the voting, at least? Is that another pick we're making? But is he in the voting? Like, is he at least on the ballot? Is he on the ballot? Yeah, he's in contention. I vote no if he in the voting at least? Is that another pick we're making? But is he in the voting? Is he at least on the ballot?

Is he on the ballot? Yeah, he's in contention. I vote no if that's the case. I mean, it's okay, but is he on the ballot? We just want to know if he's on the ballot. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's on the ballot. All right, well, that's great. Of course I am.

Great proffesion. What would that be? Share Bear, you want to promote anything besides Bike Polo? No, I mean, it's gonna be big, I mean, it's gonna be big. I mean, it's gonna be big. You're selling us on this, man. I mean, hey, I said I'm pickleball four years ago. People thought I was crazy, but I mean, it is what it is, right?

But with that, me and Gordon had a great time in Puerto Rico. Wanted to promote the Raisin and Rain Foundation. We had a blast. They literally, you know, flew his first class, you know, 2000 night rooms at the Reds 50 cent private party. Wow. As a group, we got to figure out to get everybody down there next year. I didn't know what I was getting myself into but wow.

And Gordy got lost a few times in the community. I didn't make it home a few nights. I mean, lost a golf cart on one weekend. So just want to thank them for everything. Okay. So if anyone wants details, we can just gust off air. Okay, perfect. Carl, Carl.

You know, I'm just so impressed by the love today. I'm gonna just close honoring Creston Luthor and myself. I love the guy and may God bless. And bless football. God bless K-Funk. You guys are funny.
